A FA|THLESS HUSBAND,
CT. Elliott Attem pied to Elope
With His Wife'S
Servant.
The Girl, Rosa Musgrave, Is De-
tanned at the Beulah
Home.

Rosa Musgrave is in detention at the
BeuIah Home awaiting sentence from
Judge Campbell. Rosa came to the
notice of the Society for the Preven-
ton of Cruelty to Children a year ago,
when it was alleged that she was cruelty
treated by her father. Mrs. Campbell
took her into the benevolent institution at
Berkeley in which she was then inter
ested, and finally secured a place tor her
as domestic in the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
c. 7. Elliott of Vacaville.
The head of the family, Mr.. Elliot, soon
showed prediction for the society of the
girl, and his growing fondness for her led
to trouble between himself and vile. The
girl left Vacaville in May and has since
been working for Mr.. and Mrs. Dodge of
Alameda. Since that time the pair have
corresponded, and the girl turned over the
letters to Officer McMurray yesterday.
General McComb stated that circumstances
pointed to meeting of the two at a hotel
in this City a few weeks ago, when they
occupied adjoining rooms. 1t is evident
from some OF Elliott's letters that an elope-
ment was planned.
Elliott is a handsome young fellow, the
son of wealthy widow, who owns valu-
able ranches in Sonoma County. His wife
is cripple. Elliott is staying on one of
his mother ranches at present.
The following from Mrs. Elliott shows
that she is not blind to her husbands in
fidelity:
VACAvILLE. CAL, July 3, 1895.
Miss Rosa MusgTGUe : | supposed you under
stood and that it would be unnecessary to tell
you that Lottie, well as myself, has no use
for anything coming from you.
But then it is only what might be expected
OF one who has proven herself so brazen and
utterly devoid of shame as you within the past
few months have done.
OF course you will take the trouble of telling
my husband of this when next you write him
in the endearing terms you are accustomed to
use when addressing MIN, but that will be en-
tirely satisfactory to me. MRS. c. T. ELLIOTT.
Elliott gives his plans in this epistle:
SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
VIII soon start to Elmira. o, if l could only
get letter from you, but don't much look for
one. l don't think Mrs. E. has had time to
write to you and maybe won't.
If we go to Denver we will be in one of the
finest places in the world and the healthiest.
They have snow there, but it isn't very cold in
Mountains are within fifteen miles of the city.
We can get some ponies and guns and go hunt
ing for all kinds of wild game after we get
settled there. l think that can get position
there without much trouble Then we are all
right.
1t won't cost but about S25 apiece to go
there, then we will be where there won't be
any one TO know US, all by our lonely.
You can get away all righ from those people.
You can tell them that you going to get
married the day we leave. They won't have
time to tell any one and we will skip.
Good-by, darling. Lots of love and kisses
from yours forever, C.

PHILOSOPHICAL UNION
Important Meeting of That
Body to Be Held at the
State University.
Josiah Royce to Discuss His Book on
the Religious Aspect OF
Philosophy,

An important meeting of the Philo-
sophical Union of the University of Cali
fornia will be held at the lecture rooms OF
the University at Berkeley the 3Oth OF
this month, at which the eminence of Cal
ifornian professors as delivers in the mys-
teries of practical wisdom will be exem-
plified. At that meeting two native sons
of California, graduates of the State Uni
versity, who have won renown for their
original views as thinkers, will address the
union on the relation of philosophy 10
religion.
The Philosophical Union, which was
founded by Professor George Fl. Howison,
the Mills professor of philosophy at the
university, studies each year book on
philosophy by some eminent authority,
and at the end of the year pays the ex-
penses OF the author to come to California
and discuss his work before them. This is
a new departure, inaugurated in the past
year, which it is intended shall be perpetu-
ated. During the year past the union has
been studying 1.-The Religious Aspect of
Philosophy" by Professor Josiah Royce of
Harvard, and he, in accordance with the
plan outlined, will be present at the COM
ing meeting.
Professor Royce graduated from the
State University in 1875, receiving his de-
gree of doctor of philosophy at Johns
Hopkins University in 1878. He was in
structor in English at Berkeley from 1878
to 1882, when he became instructor in
philosophy at Harvard. From this chair
he was advanced to the assistant profes-
sorship of philosophy in 1885, and from
1892 until the present time has occupied
the chair OF professor of philosophy.
Besides "The Religious Aspect of PHI
losophy" Professor Royce is the author of
another work much valued among pro-
fessors entitled 1.-THE Modern Spirit of
Philosophy" and he is frequent contrib
logical reviews on philosophical and edu-
cational topics.
The forthcoming meeting will not only
be an exceptionally important one to those
interested in the study of philosophy from
the fact that Professor Royce will discuss
his own book, but because another native
son who has won distinction for his views
on the same line of thought will be present
and take part in the discussion. He is
Professor Sidney E. Mezes, professor of
philosophy at the University of Texas.
Professor Mezes graduated from the State
University In the class of 1884. He is
looked upon as one of the most promising
of the younger professors of the day.
The topic of discussion at the meeting
will be Supplements and notifications of
the doctrine and the augmentation of
Royce's religious aspect of Philosophy"
The meeting will be opened by Professor
Royce in an address in which he will set
forth the supplements and notifications
he would make to the arguments of his
book, which was written ten years ago,
some of his ideas contained in which he
has on that account changed somewhat,
although he still adheres in the main to
the beliefs he held at the time of writing.

TELEGRAPHIC CHESS.
Three Games Will Be Contested by
Local Players Against the Seattle
Chess CIub

Chess by telegraph is becoming popular
on the Pacific Coast. Within the past few
months San Francisco has encountered
Victoria and Vancouver, B. c., and now
another northern light, the Seattle Chess
Club, has had the temerity to risk match
with the redoubtable San Franciscans.
The match will commence tonight at
$50 o'clock, when the initial moves in
three games will be made. Seattle will
have the opening move on boards l and
and the home team on board 2. This con-
cession was granted to the Seattle players
by T. I'll. Martin, to whom the local play
ers are indebted for having made the prin-
cipal arrangements to bring about the
match.
DR.. Walter Lovegrove, Rodney Kendrick
and A. S. Howe have been chosen as the
captains, each of them to have the assist
ance of two other players with whom thew
can consult as to the mode of operations
which will serve best to defeat their an
tagonists in Seattle.
The Seattle Chess Club will be repre-
sented by Griffith Davies, G. B. Bagely and
NJ. Dickey, each of whom will probably act
as captain of a team at each board.
Griffith Davies, late postmaster of Seattle,
has gained considerable reputation as a
skillful chess player, and would be likely
to make good fight for his side if he did
not have Dr. Lovegrove to compete against.
The Postal Telegraph Company has run
a direct wire from the Mechanics Institute,
San Francisco: to the Seattle Chess Club,
and thus the time occupied in the trans
mission of the moves will be reduced to
minimum. The games are likely to last
from six to eight hours.

SALVATION ARMY TRILBY.
The Corps From Barracks No. 2 Springs
Sensation in the Street
Parade.

Several varieties of Trilbys, professional
and amateur, have been produced since
Du Maurier's story became world famous,
but it has remained for San Francisco to
produce the most original one of all.
For some time past the Salvation Army
has not been drawing such large crowds as
in the days gone by, and the audiences at
the meetings in the barracks, which al
ways follow the parade, have been grow
ing thin.
Recently the leader of the corps at Bar
racks No. 2 hit upon the idea of turning
the popular fad into some account and
looked about for some one to personate
Trilby. 1t was difficult to obtain a lassie
willing TO call the attention of the popu-
lace to herself alone by appearing in the
most approved Trilby costume, but one
was finally secured who, for the good of
the cause, would don white and flowing
robe and wreath of flowers and
tramp over the cobbles to the music of the
Salvation Army drum and tambourine.
To say that she created sensation when
she appeared with the corps on Kearny
street last evening would be putting it
mildly, and inside of ten minutes after the
first tap of the drum announced that the
line of march had been taken up the corps
was followed by an open-mouthed crowd,
wondering whether a lunatic had forced
her way into the ranks or whether the

NO ISLAND PARK.
Abandonment of the Acme and Reliance
Club Plans of an Athletic
Reservation.

Reservation.
One of the most important athletic
projects of this locality has probably fallen
through by the failure of the Acme and
Reliance clubs to effect the necessary COM
blnatlon. These two clubs had proposed
to establish at joint expense big athletic
park on Bay Farm Island. But the two
organizations are unable to satisfactorily
combine in the undertaking. and there is
little likelihood now that the park will be
established.
Either ofthese clubs, however, alone or
with the cooperation of some other
organization, may eventually complete the
plan. The proposition, as considered by
the Reliance Clubs committee, was to
purchase or lease from Amos Mccartney
a large tract of land that is now used for
location upon the bay shore, would afford
the very best opportunities for both field
and aquatic events. The land is level and
IN every way adapted for games of all
sorts; the boating facilities would be
excellent, and there is probably no better
place about here for salt water bathing
than that would be after the desired i'm
provements had been made.
h. b. Jerome and P II. Bernays of the
Reliance Club looked the project over
carefully and they were very much in
favor of the proposed park, but in this
matter the union of the rival clubs cannot
well be brought about.
There is a possibility that the Reliance
Club may yet carry its negotiations to
completion, and in that case a street rail-
road to connect with the island will be
built and the Berkeley and Palo Alto Uni
versity athletic managers will be invited
to have the annual football games and
other intercollegiate events played there.
The destruction of the Haight-street
grounds has left the student teams with
out satisfactory meeting place and the
games would probably be held at Bay
Farm Island if the contemplated park
should be established.

GALL A CHURCH COUNCIL.
Friends of Meyer Strauss Are Consider.
ing Such Plan.

FRIENDS OF meyer STRAUSS Are COnSIO6r-
ing Such Plan.
While his fellow church members were
passing judgment upon him at the First
Congregational Church on Wednesday
evening Meyer Strauss was enjoying him
self at a prayer-meeting at the Plymouth
Church, where he received many kind
words. Yesterday he was busy all day
directing the scene painting for the play
"By Order of the Gar" which will be pro-
duced at the Grand Opera-house next
week He found numerous letters await
ing him on his return, in which were words
of commendation on his course, from
friends and strangers who were interested
in the proceedings through newspaper
accounts.
To some of the friends who called on him
last evening he said: 81 have the approval
of my conscience as to the act for which
was censured, and which cost me my mem
bership in the First Church. If were to
be summoned before my Maker tonight /
would not recall one word"
He remarked that he did not feel that he
would be exactly welcome at the church of
which he had been a member for so many
years, but that he would attend churches
of his own denomination hereafter.
Mr.. Strauss friends in the church are
considering plan to call for reconsider
alton of the vote of expulsion or to submit
the matter to council of Congregational
churches, which body, although it has
only advisory power, has strong intlu-
ence in such cases.
Some of them do not hesitate 20 say that
the proceedings were of TOO summary and
secret nature to be authorized by either
the common law or the common sense of
church government.
''It is ontrary to all precedent" said
one of the mem bers of the standing COM
mittee, "that the accusers should pass Judi
cial Judgment upon the accused, yet that
is what the pastor and I. H. Morse did,
Strauss says he will take no action in the
matter, but leaves it in the hands of his
friends

MONEY FOR AN EXHIBIT.
County Supervisors Asked to Hasten
Payment of Their Contributions for
AtIanta's Fair Display.

The work of preparing creditable dis
play of California products for the At
lanta Exposition is not such an easy task
as those interested thought it would have
been.
So far none of the money promised by
the County Supervisors has been sent in
from the counties, and, as there is but
little time left to make up and ship the
exhibit, Secretary FiIcher of the State
Board of Trade has addressed letter to
the Supervisors of the State, urging them
to act promptly in the matter.
1t was the intention to get bids and
award the contract for packing and ship
ping the exhibit at once; but the execu-
tive committee decided that it was safer to
secure the funds before becoming respon-
sible for any bills.
In order to enliven the County Super
visors in the matter of appropriating the
money, tie Half-million Club will set the
machinery of this body in motion Messrs.
Crocker and Bunker will at once COM
municate with the State development
committee, which is composed of fifteen
members in all parts of the State, and re-
quest the committee to impress upon the
Supervisors the importance of prompt
action.

THE SILVER CONVENTION.
Secretary Keeney Says the Idea Is
Popularity Taken Up All Over
the State.

Secretary George P. Keeney, of the
American Bimetallic League of San Fran
cisco. and chairman G. w. Baker of the
local executive committee, have received
correspondence from most of the counties
regarding the State silver convention, to be
held in this City on the 10Th inst. Mr.
Keeney said yesterday afternoon:
Our letters show that the convention is a
popular move, and the enthusiastic manner in
which the country press has advocated the
convention leads US to believe that it will be
one of the largest and most notable gatherings
ever seen in California.
am satisfied that finance is to be the issue
OF the coming campaign, for the people are fast
waking up to the fact that the ability on the
part of the gold power to corner the circulating
medium must receive some effective blow
The sentiment in favor of the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver is practically unanimous
in this State.
To show you to what extremities the mo-
nopolists are pushed here is gold page, called
can Association twice a month, which it fur
n1shes free to country papers, the cost being
borne by the Reform Club of New York. The
same Institution also gets out "silver page"
once in while for which it charges the Gus
tomary price.
The silver propagandists are doing good
work under the circumstances, considering
that we have all the capital and advantages Of
the gold power to struggle against. We have
now headquarters in Washington, Chicago,
Nashville, Tenn, and this City, which are al
ways open and from which emanate yolumi-
nous amount of free-silver literature for edu-
cational purposes
In the convention each county is to be
represented by five delegates at large and
five delegates for every 500 votes or fraction
thereof cast at the last election. Excur-
zion railroad rates have been secured for
August II, 16 and 10.

house officers were enabled to make the

ward and Mrs Greenwald, through her
attorney, protested. Special Agent of the
Treasury Benton was sent to Victoria, B.

genuine woman or only Mclean under
another name. He unearthed the woman
and she will appear in court next Monday
to prosecute her claim. While she may
have been working with the members of
the Emerald gang the fact still remains
that she was the first person to give in

BALDWIN CONCERTS.
1t Is Decided to Give Series of Five
Classical Performances.

II Is Decided to Give Series OF Five
Classical Performances.
The Al Hayman Company has decided
that series of five symphony concerts
shall be given in the Baldwin Theater at
the conclusion of the Mechanics Fair.
Just who the conductor will be has not
yet been definitely settled, but decision
will probably be arrived at tomorrow.
AT present the choice seems to be be-
tween Fritz Scheel and August Hinrichs,
conductor of the Baldwin orchestra II
Scheel can furnish the required securities
he will give the concerts on his own ac-
count, and if they prove successful second
series will probably be undertaken.
Failing Scheel, the Hayman Company
will give the concerts, and Hinrichs will
stand every chance of being engaged as
conductor. 1t has been rumored among
San Francisco musicians that Adolph
Bauer of the Tivoli would conduct series
of concerts for the Hayman Company, but
there was no foundation for the report, as
his name has not been among those con-
sidered by the proprietors of the Baldwin
Theater. There has also been no question
of importing conductor from the East.
There is musical library, containing a
wide and varied collection of orchestral
scores, belonging to the Baldwin Theater.
This will be invaluable in giving variety
to the semi-classical portion of the pro-
grammeS,

SUING FOR PROPERTY.
Aged Mrs. Olsen Files a New Complaint
Against Her Young
Husband.

Mrs. Dorothea Olsen of Alameda filed
new complaint in the Superior Court yes
terday against her husband, Peter Olsen
The plaintiff is the woman of nearly 70
years who married sailor 80 years old,
and has had constant trouble since. She
was divorced from Peter last January, but
she married him again in April, and at the
latter time decided the young man all her
property.
In the complaint filed Yesterday the
woman asked that the deeds of the land
be declared fraudulent, and that Peter be
compelled to convey the property back to
her.
There is likely to be considerable litiga-
tion, for when Peter secured the deeds to
the property he promptly raised some
money on mortgage, and the man who
holds the mortgage will defend his claim.
Mrs. Olsen and Peter are living unhap-
PLY in the same house on Santa Clara
avenue, Alameda, both claiming the title
to the property and refusing to surrender.
Besides the Alameda property Mrs Olsen
or Peter owns real estate at the corner of
Jackson and Front streets in this City.

Her Parents Promised to Give

Mrs. Marie Louise Ducasse, a young
French woman, who was married recently,
is suing her father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. Jean Weber. for her marriage dowry.
She declares that she deposited $3.50 with
her parents before she was married, the
understanding being that the money
should be given to her by the parents at
the time of her marriage. Her marriage
to Jean Ducasse was without the knowl-
edge of her parents, though, as stated yes
terday on the witness-stand, and the
parents have refused to give up the
money.
In their answer, the Webers charge that
their vivacious young daughter obtained
all the money belonging to her and with
out anybody's consent. They charge that
just before her marriage the young woman
broke into her mothers room and appro-
priated $500 in cash and $500 worth of
clothing, and they do not intend to pay
any more,

ony EmbeZzlement.
Lawrence Vincent, an auctioneer, was
arrested yesterday on a warrant charging
him with felony embezzlement. The COM
planning witness is F. G. Carlsen, living in
the st. AIMS building, Eddy street.
Carlsen alleges that he gave Vincent
some household furnishings to sell in De-
cember, 1892. They were sold for $500.
OF this amount there is still due 1886 so,
and although he has asked Vincent re-
peatedly for it he has not yet received it.
Vincent does not deny that he owes
the money to Carlsen, but says that
he has frequently offered it to him, and it
has not been accepted for some reason or
other.
