Yesterday he resumed his official duties
and he was the recipient of many congratu-

The first business that engaged his atien-

prepare petition TO the Judges asking for
relief In the matter. Neither Judge Wal

Sadie APPEL and Blanche Caro-, girls of 10
years. left their homes Wednesday morning
for school and have not been heard of since.
The girls live. one on Turk street and the
other on Golden Gate aven ne, aud have al
ways been intimate friends.
Blanche Caro- is an attractive child with
regular, classic features. She wore on the
day of her disappearance short, dark blue
dress with white figures and a red silk
front, a dark navy blue ulster with four
roll cape and white cap. She has brown
hair and blue eyes.
Sadie Appel was dressed in a red and
white plaid dress. light ulster with cape
and white sailor hat with a black velvet
band. She has black hair and dark eyes.
The girls are about feet inches in
height.
There was nothing unusual about the
conduct of the children on Wednesday
morning. They left for school, the South
Cosmopolitan Grammar, at $50 as they
were accustomed to DO, but when the roll
was called 1t was discovered that the chill
dren had not gone to school. This was the
first notice of their disappearance.
1t is feared the girls were enticed from
home by promises of a career Oh the stage.
Belief in this theory is based on the ex-
treme fondness of both children for any
sort oil theatrical performance. They were
reading. and often took part in amateur ex-
hibitiOns at home.
II is said by friend of the girls that
manager of travelling troupe once re-
marked in his hearing that he would like to
steal those girls and make actresses of
them.
The friends and relatives of the children
are greatly excited over the strange disap-
pearapce, and intend making every effort
to effect the girls return. Tho police have
been notified of their disappearance.
