THE QUEENS BIRTHDAY.
Celebration by the British Benevo-
lent Society.

Queen Victoria's birthday was ceieb ebrated
Yesterday by the British Benevolent So
ciety at Harbor View, where a picnic, at
tended by several hundred children. was
neld. The British flag was displayed from
the staff over the dancing pavilion. and
the apprentices from the British merchant
vessels lying in the harboT stroled about
the grounds chewing popcorn and pepper
mint candy with true British energy. The
afternoon was devoted to games of various
kinds in which the children were the prin-
cipal competitors. There were races for
girls, with handkerchiefs and satchels and
books of poems for prizes, and races for
boys, with skates, bats, balls, sleeve
buttons and pocket-kniveS as trophies of
victory.
Before the games began the people as
semblt d to hear q few words from j. H.
Dobinson, the president of the society. In
mis- address he made pathetic reference
to the death by drowning the day before
of D. B. Brown, the chairman of the COM
mittee OF arrangements. who lost his life
while taking swim near the Harbor View
beach.
About eighty children from the home
maintained by the Ladies' Protection and
Relief Society attended the picnic by in
vitation and a special series Of games was
devised for the little guests.

WAS DISCOURAGED
Ida Raabe Takes a Dose
of Laudanuln.
THE DRUG EASILY OBTAINED
She Did Not Want to Be Tied to Her
Mothers Apron Strings, and
Wanted to Die.

A well-developed girl, about II years of
age, with a bright face and large gray
eyes with long lashes, surrounded with
dark purple circles. lay on cot in the
female ward of the Receiving Hospital
yesterday.
Her name was Ida Raabe and she had
attempted suicide by taking two ounces OF
laudanum. She was found by Policeman
Bennett while he was patrolling Golden
Gate Park early yesterday morning.
The drug had acted on the girl. and she
was wandering around gesticulating wildly
and talking to herself. The officer soon
learned that Miss Raabe had taken lauda-
mum and took her to the Receiving
Hospital.
Police Surgeon Somers used the stomach
pump, and gave the girl the usual
remedies In short lille he pronounced
her out of danger. Had not the officer
acted promptly Ida's body would now be
on a marble slab at the Morgue.
When asked t. give the cause OF her
desperate attempt Miss Raabe would not
talk. II was simply discouraged with
everything and tired of the world" she
said. She denied that there was a man In
the case.
but is inclined to be simpe-minded and
easily led. She wore large pieces of glass
in her ears for diamonds.
She worked as a dreSsmaking apprentic e
without salary with a Mrs. Leary on
Seventh street.
When asked if she was treated badly at
her home on Harrison street, near B"rnal
Heigh hts. she said mot particularly. but
was tired of being tied to my mothers
aTrOD-striDgs.
From a friend of Miss Raabe. who called
to see her. it was learned that the girl was
engaged to an old man and did not like
him.
She is supposed to have been the cir
who attempted to jump off an Oakland
buat on last Sunday night. She admitted
that she was over in Oakland on Sunday
evening
Miss Raabe ted that she had bough
10 cents worth OF laudanum from drug
gist at Seventh and Howard streets.
What do you want it for?" was asked
For a toothache," she replied. anC
walked out with the poison.
A little later Miss Raabe began to cry
but was soothed 10 sleep by the matron.

ONE DAY IN SEVEN.
Justice Barry Does Not
Construe the Law.
The Question of the ConstitutionaIity
of the Act Providing for a Day
of Rest Still Open.

Justice Barry yesterday rendered deci-
sion in the case of John Rotchman against
Robert LorenZ ana Paul Dresto, proprietorS
of bakery on Grant avenue. The plain
tiff had absented himself On a Sunday from
his work, and when appearing next Mon
day was discharged. d. He sued for a whole
months wages on the ground that his en-
ployer had given him permission. and on
the further ground that the last Legis la
tnre passed an act giving every man em-
plnyed at least one days rest in seven.
1t was thought that Justice Barry would
decide on the constitutionality of the new
day of rest law, but in his decision hestates
that the facts of the case do not allow him
to do so. IL is known that the boss bakers
have employed Attorneys Dune ana Eick-
hoff to arrange a test case to be taken to
the Supreme Court. In the meanwhile the
large army of breadmakers who want one
days rest are very anxious as to the out
come.
Justice Barry in his decision said:
"Ihe preston as TO the cors,iiutinnaliiy
of the act of he Legislature. approved
February q. 1898 (Stat. 1898. p. 54). provid-
ing that every person employed In any
occupation of labor shall be entitled to
one DAYS rest therefrom in seven; and it
SUdil Oe uuldWlul LOT any tUlptOStT Ol
labor to cause his employees, or any of
them, to work more than six days in seven,
etc. does not arise in this ease, for the
reasons hereinafter stated. If the plaintiff
had not proved that the defendants had
agreed with plaintiff that the latter mig {
have the period of rest stated it would
tnen be proper for the defendants to show
that the plaintiff and his assgnor lad
violated their agreement with them and
that they we're not therefore liable upon
the contract as for a breach thereof; in
other words the question as to whether the
absence of plaintiff and his assignnr from
Saturday night to Monday morning would
be a violation of any agreement either eX-
press or implied from custom. The con-
sttutionality of that law might then arise.
Il am OF the opinion that the prepon-
derance of evidence shows that there was
an express agreement between these par
ties that the period of rest named might be
taken by the plaintiff and his assignor.
ut is unnecessary for me to dwell upon
the wisdom or necessity of the law under
| discussion, for even in All inquiry into its
eOnstitutionality that would have to be
disregarded.
"The evidence shows that the plaintiff
| and his assenor returned Monday morn
ing, April 10, 1898, according To the under
| standing. and rendered their services.
These were refused. The contract of SER
vice was for a month, and the breach OF
| the contract was therefore on the part Of
| defendants and the usual measure OF
| damages in surh case must be awarded.
Judgment for plaintiff for S75 and

DARING CRIMINALS.
Carefully Piannea surgIary of Dry
Goods Warehouse.


Goods Warehouse.
A bold burglary was perpetrated at the
wholesale jry-goods warehouse of Neu-
burger, Reiss & Co.. 516-51S Market street,
early yesterday morning.
A young man employed in the OccIdentel
Hotel observed two men loading a wagon
from the SutteT-street entrance TO the
warehouse about $50 o'clock. His sus-
picions were aroused and he called the at
tention of Officers Ryan and Cronn TO the
matter. The officers ran to the warehouse
and were just in time 10 see the men drive
off in the wagon. They jumped into a
bntcher's cart and gave chase. The burg
lars drove down First street to Jessie,
along Jessie to New Montgomery, down
New Montgomery to Mission, along NJ s.
sion to Sixth, up Sixth toward Market,
where the pursuing officers lost sight of
them, as there were too many wagons of
various kinds being driven on that street

MoNrEv1pEo, Oct. Alt is probable
that one of the chief naval engage
ments OF the Brazilian revolution will
be fought off the coast of Uruguay.
Adm. Mello ordered the cruiser Repub-
lica to sail from Santos for Montevideo,
and she arrived to-day. The cruiser
and all on board were Guaranteed and
will be kept there for two days. 1t is
believed here that her object is to at
tack the Tiradentes as soon as the lat
ter leaves the dock. When news of
the professions of allegiance to Peixoto
of the officers and crew of the Tira-
denies reached Msllo he ordered the
Kepublica to Montevideo to prevent
the Tiradentes reaching Rio. The ma
chinery which had been removed
from the Tiradentes, so as to
render her useless in case the in
surgents captured her while in dock
here, has been replaced, and she is now
ready to sail Adm. Goncalves has
been placed in command, and she is
manned by 100 government soldiers,
sent here from Rio. They arrived re-
Gently on the steamers Destrevio and
Santos, and were quarantined. Both
were released. On arrival of the cruis-
er Repnblica they steamed closer into
the harbor for safety. Both are now
anchored near the city. 1t is hoped by
Goncalves and his officers that the gov
eminent of Uruguay will protect them
and prevent any violation of interna-
tional law through an attack by the
rebel cruisers. It is believed here that
the Republica, which is well manned
and equipped, can easily defeat the
Tiradentes,
Letters have been received from Lon
don in which it is stated that the Off
GERS and crew of the Brazilian cruiser
Riachaelo, stationed there, refused to
obey orders from Peixoto. They reaf-
firm their allegiance to the cause OF
Adm. Mello and his adherents.

LABOR UNIONS.
{. roposltioh to Unite All labor Ofganixa-
tions into One GisaHtie Confederation.

,roposltioh to Unite All labor Ofsanixa-
tions into One Gigantic Confederation.
NKw YORK., Oct. 23-No achievement
at organized labor ia this Or any other
country can compare in magnitude
with movement which it is proposed
to ineagurate at the general assembly
of Knights of Labor next month and
to consummate when delegates
representing the entire Amer
lean federation of labor convenes
in December. An amalgamation
of every labor order ard labor
union in the United States, whereby
all shall recognize a single supreme au-
thority and in which over hundreds
and thousands of workmen shall be an
organized unit in everything that
seems to affect their interests, is the
end aimed at. Only one potent in
Huertce is being exerted to the execu-
ton of this scheme-that of Samuel
Gompers. Another man, willingly or
unwillingly, is looked to as cham
2ion of the movement, Terence V.
Powderly, and has e,ready given it a
qualified approval.
1t will be Remembered that Mr..
Powderly had lately authorized an am
i1ouncemeTt Of his coming withdrawal
as general master of the Knights of
Labor. 1t is now authoritatively de-
clared by those who have served on the
Committee which requested Mr.. Pow
derly's acceptance of one more cleo
ton that he has consented. The COM
plications growing out of Secretary and
Treasurer John w. Hayes official
standing have, it appears, been salts
factorily adjusted pending the conven-
ton OF the general assembly.
There are indications of internal up
heavals in all the labor orders The
utteranees of such leaders as John c.
Costello, of Pittsburgh, Pa; John 7.
byron, of Massachusetts,; Thomas j.
Morgan, Of Chicago, and r. M. Camp
bell, of Memphis, to mention those
only who are of the rank and file as
well as influential, have been long for
consolidation. Mr.. Gompers has natu-
/ rally crystallized the opposition, and
especially as L. v. Powderly is in favor
of union on general principles. For
this reason he has advocated a final
action recently with the Farmers Alli-
ance and similar organizations, as we'll
as closer Identification with political
movements.
Such a consolidation would have an
imposing result. 1t would mean men,
/ bership of $780, and a revenue of
81, 600, 600 yearly. The argument that
it is too gigantic for ready action is
met by the proposition to maintain the
order in divisions-one to be known as
Knights of Labor, another as the Fed
Grafton, and so on
