DOYLE OVERDUE.
The Ex-Interpreter Is Still
Sporty.
He Was Having a Good Time in
Honolulu, but Had to Leave
to Escape Debtors.

Chester Anthony Doyle, the blase young man
who fought his way into Oakland society by
using his cheek as a batiering.ram has caused
shadow Of sorrow to come over the men OF
every tailor in Honolulu, so the story is told.
Doyle had weakness for taiIors when
he was japanese interpreter for the Immigra-
ton Commission at San Francisco, and that
was one cause of his many troubles.
Chester Doyle cut great swell while he
lasted, but he did not last dong. He was de-
scribed as young fellow who never stopped
at anything when he wanted TO have a good
time" There is no denying rhat he enjoyed
himself immensely just before he left this city.
About two years ago Doyle disappeared, Civ
ing no notice to the Government or to bis folks
al home, and for a long time no one knew where
be had vanished TO. II afterward Iranspired
that he had gone TO Honolulu, where he Sc

But Chester could not keep out of debt even
after The severe lesson that was taught him by
experience. He distinguished himself in Homo

guished himself here, and has Incurred the

Hawaii forever.
One OF the Honolulu papers states that Doyle
wanted TO buy $40 suit OF clothes for $40 just
Tor Maui island, but the tailor said lie could not
accommodate him. but could give him nice
$40 suit Tor $40.
The same paper intimates strongly that Doyle
was forced 10 flee tor fear of being overtaken
by WTathful followers.

Fl. Sanderson Edmunds, OF Central American
colonization fame, has been 10 Lower California
overlooking the field of labor there, and has
quietly slipped through San Francisco back 10
Japan, where he now comes to light as the
Company of Yokohama.
Edmunds stopped a while In Lower California
and had a few conferences with the people of
working Japs in the gold fields. He Sill cher
Ishes the idea that be will be able TO persuade
some rich Jap or well-lO-do Mexican 10 aid him
in the scheme which ended so dlsastrousIy for
several OF his colleagues last fall.
The story of the BeyeTwlt boys who invest
ed 5000 each with the wild Englishman's SUI
peIntendent, is still fresh in the memory of the
public. Those who know OF the circumstances
in the case have all along thought that Ed
driving in Central America ana Mexico would
not prove a success.
But the Anglo-Japanese COl0nizing Company
has been organized In lieu of the once SUD-
pOSedly great Central and South American
and Oriental Commercial Company that bid
fair TO pick Japan up bodily and deposit it al

by the Democratic general committee to

was held. however, for the purpose of
signing the report to the general commit

In the Thirty-second District Commit
teemen Beasley. Bartlett and Huxley had
moved out Of the district, and their places
were filed in MAY. 1893. after being de-
cIared vacant on motion of Supervisor
Dundon. Committeeman Lester, Muir
dock and Harrison were then elected.
Recently Dundon sought TO have the
whole proceedings aDnulled, so that he
could control the district, and the case
came before the general committee for
consideration. Last night the three men
who were substituted were allowed to re-
tain their positions.

manded his seat He was reinstated last
evening. By this action O'Byrne and Leg

WESLEY WARNER THE CRIMINAL
She Deserted Her Husband and Two

Caused the Crime.

The old weatherworn shanty at Stone
street was the scene of a shocking tragedy
late yesterday afternoon. In a stuffy little
bedroom on the ground floor a negro
Janltor sent bullet through the head of
young white woman who had disgraced
herself by living with him. He was Yves
ley Warner and the unfortunate woman
was Mrs. Samuel Messeth, better known
by her maiden name. Maggie McGovern.
Mrs. Messeth, who was but % years old,
left her husband and two children about
two years ago and started on the down
grade. She frequented the low grogger les
and dance-hals on the Barbary Coast aud
made friends of the abandoned women
and degraded men that she met in them.
When and under what circumstances she
made the acquaintance of the negro is not
known. He rented the two rooms on the
ground floor of the shanty on Stone street,
which is narrow alley running from
Jackson to Pacific, between Stockton and
Powell, and there she visited him fre-
ouently.

EARLY MISSIONS.
Their Establishment in
California.
Rev. Father Prendergast Lectures
for the Benefit of the Chill
dren's Day Home.

THE Catholic Missions" was the subject OF
lecture delivered last evening by Rev. Father
Prendergast at ST. Mary's Cathedral.
The lecture was given in aid OF the Children's
Day Home on Hayes street, nd was largely
attended, the spacious body of the cathedral
being comfortably filled
In tracing the history OF mission work in
California the lecturer went back to the time
when the first expeditions were sent out from
Spain. AS far back as the early part OF the
sixteenth century King Charles III of Spain
sent representatives of his church TO the coast
OF Mexico for the purpose of establishing mis-
sions throughout the country, penetrating well
into Lower California. he franciscan fathers
lOurneyed out into the Interior and first ste
ceeded IN establishing mission in the very
heart of he City OF Mexico itself.
The lecturer touched upon the old Fran
ciScaL theory, as described by John :. Hittell
In his work on the subject. Father Prendergast
claimed that the writer had wrongly inter
preted the ideas OF these men. Their theory
was not confined 10 the modification of all
ear ly bliss for the sake of the future eXS-
fence; IL was better and simpler than that
The sole theory OF the old simple fathers lay in
their faith i'll God, and in the love of God and
man.
More expeditions were sent out, and in 1859
the missions, for some time disunted, were re-
united In San Diego. By that time their mem
bers. through sickness, suffering and priYa-
lions, had dwindled from PIG 10 126 in all. AT
that time the harbOr of San Francisco had not
been discovered that of Monterey being the
only anchorage known on the coast of Cali
fOrnia.
But in 1863. when an expedition coming up
from the south skirted the coast in search of
Monterey, that bay was by accident passed,
and by such accident the now established
anchorage in the bay of San Francisco diseOv-
cred. The founder OF these missions died in
1856, and after his death nine new missions
were established in California.
Then, in tue early part OF the present century,
about 1888, came the dissolution of the mis-
sions, ana between that time and their reunion,
ten years later, the crops herds and other prop.
eTty belonging TO the fathers, diminished 10 an
alarming extent. The lecturer claimed that
the seculariZation of the missions was the
cause OF This. Meanwhile the Indian popula-
tiOn was being widely educated in religion until
firm foothOld was obtained in The country.
In conclusion Father Prendergast quoted
from poem by Mrs. HemanS, showing the
spirit OF the Catholic missions and the affpc-
lion shown by the fathers, whether franciscan
or Jesuit for their subjects.
