POWERFUL WORK.
Written by Ella Wheeler
Wilcox.
It is Entitled "Was 1t Suicide p"
and Depicts High Society
Life.

'Was It Suicide?" is the title of one of
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's latesti books. 1t is
a story of the world written by woman
of the world who knows whereof she
writes.
The plot of the story is simple one, and
there are tew actors in the little drama,
but all of them are people of the most
powerful passions and feelings. 1t is the
old story of young woman loving her
boy schoolmate and carrying that love all
through her life. even though she marries
another and he marries twice. 1t SO hap
pens that he separates from his last wife
and she meets him after her husband dies,
still feeling that he is the only man she
ever loved.
Their meetings are passionate ones and
burning words are exchanged. The dia-
logue is written as only Ella Wheeler
Wilcox can write.
All through the book the views OF a
woman of the world on the subjects of the
greatest Importance to society are placed
in most pleasing and comprehensive
light. 1t is work about which little de-
scripti0n can be given. as 1t deals more
with sentiment than events.
CALL readers can obtain the book for
one dime and coupon. Come around
early if you want to be sure Of getting 1t.

SUTRO's FENCE.
1t Will Inclose the Cliff House and
Ocean Beach Baths.


The immediate vicinity of the Cliff
House is undergoing a decided change of
aspect, and within a few days visitors to
that popular place of resort will hardly be
able to recognize the neighborhood.
Adolph Sutro, who owns the property
and the greater part Of :he land lying
tbereabout, is responsible for the change.
which consists of high board fence, ten
feet in height. which extends from the be-
ginning of the road ieading up from the
south beach to the north beach. inclOsing
in its confines the Cliff House and the
nearly completed Sutro baths.
Work on the fence was begun on Mon
day and it is being pushed with vigor. 1t
is going to be a substantial affair, too, as
the heavy supports are being sunk in
cement. When the fence is completed all
view OF the Cliff House, the Sutro baths
and Seal Rocks Will be cut off from all
points of vantage. and it will be mpossi-
BILE for vehicles of any sort to pass from
the south beach to the old Point Lobos
road. Mr. Sutro's property comes within
eight feet of the cliff which stretches along
the eastern side OF the road leading up
from the south beach. and in. the erection
of the fence all possible ground has been
taken. The roadway, eight feet wide be-
tween the high cliff and the fence, to-
gether with portion of the hillside, Is
under the jurisdiction of the Park Com
mission. and to make carriageway .here
will require the blasting of several hun
dred tons of reck from the hill.
MIR. Sutro's action in building the fence
Is the subject for considerable gossip IN the
neighbOThoOd and several reasons are
given Tor it. Que is that he is doing it in
order to get even with the Southern .Paci-
fic Railroad Company, which controls the
two lines of steam cars running to the
Cliff House. The company. it is said, re-
fused to accede to Mr.. Sutro's request
that they only charge scent fares

from the city to the Cliff House
instead of compelling passengers to pay
extra fare from the terminus of the cable
lines at the park. By erecting the fence
he will make the resort less popular and
cause dimnution of the railroad travel.
Another reason given is that Mr.. Sutro
expects to net little profit for himself out
of the Cliff House by running it in con-
junction with the baths when they open.
He will have gates at the north and south
ends of the fence. and will charge an ad-
mission fee. Mr.. Sutro Is out Of town. but

about the fence. only smiles. and says that

A PATHETIC LETTER.
A Condemned Man Begs Food and
Shelter for His Family.

Thonas Crumpton. the colored man who
is under sentence of death for the murder
of David Shanklin in South Washington is
an occupant of a cell i'm what is known as
"Murderers' Row" in Jail, and he fully re-
alizes his position. He receives spiritual
consolation from Rev. John Roberts of the
colored Y. NJ. c. A. and others. March %,
which is now about one month off. is the
date fixed for his execution, and anticipat-
ing what is to take place on that day. the
prisoner spends most of his time in relig-
ious devotions and gives no trouble to the
guards or others about him.
1t is likely that effort is soon to be
made to have his case called to the Presi-
dents attention on an application for par
don, and failing in this an effort will be
made to secure postponement of the date
set for the execution.
Crumpton himself seems to realize that
there is not any hope left, and he so ex-
pressed himself in letter he sent to Lieut..
Vernon yesterday. In this letter he said
that his wife was sick and his children
starving, and asked as a favor TO a man
who has but a short time to live that he
give some food and fuel to his sick wife and
suffering children.
Il have taken Jesus Christ as my guide
and am ready to CO." he said in his letter
IF you do this God will take care of you"
The pathetic letter was received late in
the afternoon, and Lieut.. Vernon had an
officer go to the house, where the wife and
four children of the condemned man were
found and food and fuel were given them.

MIR. MENDONCA INTERPRETs
The Probable Meaning OF the Exten.
sion of the BraxiliRn Siege.

Mr.. Mendonca. the Brazilian minister, in
terprets the information contained in the
dispatch from Minister Thompson at Rio de
Janeiro announcing the extension of the
state Of siege to the 2Sth instant to mean
that the elections in Brazil will take place
on the 1st of March, the date set therefor
by the constitution of the republic. The
minister is without any official Information
concerning the reported capture of Lapa
by the insurgents. Lapa. the minister says.
has always been loyal to the government.
1t is an important town in the state Of
Parana, and is about 300 miles southwest Of
Rio. The capture of this place would, Of
course, be an important one for the insur-
gents, but the minister takes no stock in
the report. There is a place called Rapa,
which is in the northern point of Desterro
Island, which may be the one referred to by
Minister Thompson as having been report
ed to have been captured by the insurgents.
This island has been in possession of the
insurgents for some time. and is the place
where they established a provisional gov
ernment last year.

acter of their duties. The irregularities
have been corrected far as possible
Most of these cases were caused by a mis-
construction of the regulations and cannot
strictly be regarded as violations. In sew
eral cases the rules were suspended by the
superintendent of the naval gun factory
and this action was considered by him to
be based upon sufficient reasons, but by the
Secretary 1t was deemed manifestly i'm
proper, and he informed the officers in
charge that hereafter, whenever the cir
cumstances of case justify q suspension
Of the rules. which should be done only in
the rarest instances, the whole matter
must be referred to the department, and
that no person except the Secretary Of the
Navy could exercise such power.
