SAVED FROM WANT
WretCI1ed Life of Little
Lilly Miller.
Secretary McComb Takes Steps to
Protect Her From Her Neg
lectful Parents.

General McComb. secretary Of the
Society for the Prevention OF Cruelty TO
Children. yesterday filed an application IN
the Superior Court TO be appointed guard
ian of Lilly. the ten-year-old daughter OF
Benjamin Miller, a teamster who formerly
lived at Seventh and Berry streets.
The step was made necessary by the
failure of Miller and his wife to provide
for their offspring, and the persistent
Efforts of the mother to recover possession
OF the child.
The society has had long battle with
the Millers. and the Investigations OF its
officers revealed state of affairs scarcely
conceivable in civilized community.
Benjamin Miller u few years ago was
fairly prosperous. He earned good
livelihood and had a coy home.
His misfortunes began when he gave
way TO his propensity for drinking and
they increased teDfod when his wife fol-
lowed his example. The history of the
family since that time has been success
sion of all the Ills that follow in tue wake
of alcohol.
About five months ago Louis Miller. the
12-year-old son of the teamster. was found
wandering in the streets at midnight. and
the next day he was taken to the home Of
the Boys and Girls Aid Society. where he
has since remained. The boy told the
officers narrowing tale of the neglect of
his parents to provide for himself and his
little sister, and when Officer HOlbr0ok
went to the house he found 1t in wretched
state. 1t was rickety two-story structure.
practically unfurnished and very uDclean.
Lying on the floor entirely without bed
ding was tue little girl Lilly, who. when
she saw the officer, begged him for food.
Miller was arrested and charged with
failure TO provide, but upon his promise to
reform and establish a home, Judge Camp
bell dismissed the case.
But instead of getting better matters
grew worse. On the night OF November
10 last Miller's house was blown down, but
the inmates escaped unhurt. He then
took his wife and child to a neighboring
cOwshed, where they led a degraded exist
ence until Officer Holbr0Ok again found
them out and took the girl 10 the Boys
and Girls Aid Society and thence to the
Girls Directory Home.
Since then Mrs. Miller has been vainly
endeavoring to recover possession of the
child. They have moved out of the cow
shed, but are still stepped in poverty and
unfit to have the custody OF their childi en-.
Recently home was found for Lilly,
and as her mother has declared that she
will take the girl away by hook or by
crook, General McCOmb. Holbrcok's sue
cessOr, found it necessary to secure au-
thOrty of court TO prevent her from carry
ing out her threat.

Landscapes With Californian Air and
Subdued CoIors That Show Rare
Feeling and Talent.

When man gives up rank and riches

A strong personality Wills be found per-
vading his work which is most likely true
to nature in its harmony, atmosphere.
color and feeling.
Here In San Francisco there is one indus
triOus painter who exemplifies this in
everything be does. For some years he
has been away in the mountains painting
landscapes, forest scenes, and occasionally
strOlling to the seashore to study marines.
His pictures are powerfully sympathetic.
subdued to natural tones and show a con-
scientious regard for sincerity all through.
In its declining days the old Dusseldorf
school of painting possessed this sentiment
in pronounced degree. though strange to
relate Dusseldorf has been bound hand
and foot in what appears in the present
liberal age as servile following of masters
and emulation of noted pictures in the
galleries. But at last the great men there
were sincere aud their masterpieces must
ever command admiration. The names of
Leasing, Cornelius, Achenbach, Baur
Tidemann and Knaus Will live as long as
there is an academy in the historical Prus-
sian town, or gallery in Munich. The
master. Leasing. has but few pupils living,
for the boys who painted under his instruc-
ton are old men now. and they continue IN
his footsteps-serious, sincere artists with
a pleasing sympathy. for whatever they
paint.
He has one follower in San Francisco,
Carl Won Perbandt, in whose work the
Dusseldorf school has an exponent in spite
of the strong personality which is apparent.
Mr.. Won Perbandt is a German noble
man. AT one time he was wealthy, but
riches were made subservent to arr, and

an influence on the old school that new
vistas were opened before students"
This was good for Dusseldorf, notwith-
standing the correctness of drawing. and
the fit regard for mnutest details-features
that might be incorporated in present
schools with excellent results. There
might have been too much studio work,
but there was also something approaching
perfection in drawing. The old school
may have half a dozen followers nova
days, but their pictures suggest how cos

mired in that. He expresses quaint SYM

SANDOWE VS.. SANDOW.
Which Is the Original Samson OF
the World?

Managers Walters of the Orpheum and
Stephany of the Vienna Prater are at
present involved in question which is
causing considerable interest among the
local athletes and amusement-lovers.
Both these gentlemen claim to have Sc
cured the services of "the strongest man
in the world TO appear at their respective
playhouses for period, each cOnterdiDg,
however. that the other is endeavoring TO
force bogus champion upon the public.
Manager Stephany asserts that SandOw
is the only original giant in strength. and
thus advertises his drawing card" while
Manager Walters Sandowe claims the
honOTs of champion by virtue of having
proiessed superiority in muscular powers.

peared to be somewhat indignant at the
