Not the Daughter of the MONEYS, but
OF Mary Cuneo.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 17.--Ernily Free
man, who came here some days ago in
the belief that she was Annie Mooney,
who was stolen from her parents at the
Carpenters picnic at Belmont eleven
years ago, and that she had at last found
her parents, is now convinced that she
is not the lost Annie Mooney. The
Moneys were not satisfied, and the girl
was in doubt. They all knew that Mary
Cuneo, the woman in whose custody the
child spent the years of her earliest recol-
lection, could solve the mystery If she
only would.
To-day the Moneys and the girl went
to the Home for lnebriates, where Mary
Cuneo is now confined, and implored her
to tell them the truth. Mrs. Cuneo, who
had regained her senses. finally threw Oft
the mysterious air which she has all
along maintained concerning the girl and
talked freely. The girl she declared is
her own daughter, and was born in the
ockyards of Chicago in 1874. Andrew
Cuneo and Clara Cuneo of 166 North
Franklin street, Chicago, were godfather
and godmother 10 her. They are wealthy,
and the girl has money waiting for her in
Italy.
Mary Cuneo detailed the story Of the
child's life up to the time the little girl
was tax en- from her in Sacramento on ac-
count of her dissolute habits.

This morning, after the opening exer-

| Furgeson of Illinois, delivered a sermon,
taking as his text, because the King
business requires haste" He dealt with
some of the reforms which are needed al
the present time, and of how the church
should work in cooperation with the
State in the accomplishment of the de-
| sired end. He said the part of the
church in this united work is not MAX
ing laws, but in education, in assisting IN
! the development of their life in the indi-
| vldual. and aiding spiritual understand
| ing which will lead TO conscientious ex-
ercises of the rights of citizenship. He
urged aggressive action on the part of the
church in this direction. There is not SO
| much to fear at the present time from
Romanism or science as from the evil o1
too indiscriminate Bible criticism. The
| ideal success of the cause of Christ, the
| fatherhood of God and universal brother
hood OF man is not now so much of a
| theory. The practical religion may be
| seen growing with gratifying prospects.

Wicked Democrats.


The Five Corners Republican Club held
large and enthusiastic meeting last
night at the Avenue House. The feature
of the evening was Assemblynan Nc
EVANS speech. He stated that the city
needed a new water supply, and that
if the bill which he introduced in the
last Legislature, placing the potable wa
ters of the State under control of a
State Board, had been passed, the city
would now have some prospects of get
ting pure water. No corporation or syn
dicate under his bill, he said, could rob
the city, and the State would have full
control.
In that cas- the water could be
damned in the upper part of the State
and supplied to the individual cities
through system of pipes by gravity
alone.
He then paid a compliment to Max
Saiinger, who sat near him. He said he
thought his fellow Assemblyman was
through some good bills, but with very
poor success, as the bills were killed by
influence over which he, Salinger, had
no control

since President Cleveland had been in

ed all over the country.
