SHR0UDED in MYSTERY
Young Lady Friend Of Mss Blanche
Lamont Murdered.
DISCOVERED BY MRS. NOBLE
Three Rings of the Missing Girl
Returned BY a Man Named
Theodore Durant-Intense
Excitement Prevails.

SAN Francisco. April 13.--A horrible
crime was unearthed to-day at the Eman-
uel Baptist church in this city. One OF
the Sunday school teachers with her
scholars, entering the church to arrange
the Easter decorations, found tho body OF
n young girl frightfully mutilated, IN the
pastors study adjoining the main audi
torium. Her clothing was torn and
disheveled, and she had evidently been
outraged before she was killed, or else
her murder was the result of chagrin and
rage on the part of her bafiled assailant.
Her frail body was covered with blood
and wounds. The walls OF the study were
bespattered with her blood, and there was
a large red pool under the table near her
feet as she lay dead. A cut on her
wrist bad severed the arteries and
tendons. She was stabbed in each
breast and over tho heart was n
flesh wound in which was sticking part OF
a broken blade. The body was subsc-
quently identified as that of Minnie Will
Jams, a domestic, residing in Alameda,
but member of the Emanuel church in
this city. She was about Is years OF age
and remarkably pretty.
A curious coincident in connection with
the murder is the fact that Miss Williams
was u clost VI MISS biauChc La
mont. young girl from Montana, who
has heen missing for the last 10 days.
Mrs. Noble, Miss Lamont's aunt, was the
first TO discover the dead body of Miss
Williams in the church.
Mrs. Noble to-day received through tho
mails letter in which were wrapped
three rings worn by her missing niece the
night she disappeared. On the paper was
the name of Theodore Durant. the young
dental student who made the appoint
ment with Miss Williams. the murdered
| girl, last night.
The police have as yet made no arrests
and the double mystery is puzzling the
whole city. Miss Williams, the murdered
girl, was not n servant as at first stated.
Her parents had separated and as her
mother could not support her the girl
was living with friends who kindly gave
her homo until she could secure posi-
| ton.
Theodore Durant, the young medical
student who met Miss Williams at the
.church festival last night, has fed. The
police are searching for him but so far un
successfully.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The mineral
land commissioners appointed by the
president are expected to settle the dss.
pute that has long existed as to the char
acter of the lands in Montana and Idaho
within grant of the Northern Pacific
railroad. The creation of these different
boards arose from the Barden decision Of
the supreme court, deciding that mineral
lands within the grant were excepted and
were part of the public lands of the
United States for mineral purposes until
protested, to the railroads.
Patents have been withheld pending an
examination of the lands, which will be
done by the commissioners for each land
district. The decision of these commis-
sioners will not be Anal, but will 60 long
way towards determining the charactee
Of the lands. The commissioners wiz
make reports in each of the districts
where they are assigned, to the local land
officers, and the reports will be pub
lished. Thirty days will be given in
which protests may be filed. If no pro-
tests are filed the reports will be sub
mitted to the secretary, and, if approved
by him, action is final.
Where protests are filed the local offi-
GERS will treat them as contests and suits
will follow to dermine the mineral or nom
mineral character of the land, with APP
peals to the commissioner and secretary
as i'm other cases. The examinations by
the commissioners must be completed
within three years. The commissions are
allowed compensation at $40 day, but
cannot exceed total of $500 each per
year. Two of the appointees, Messrs.
Barnes of Wisconsin and Pearson of

Fhcughts Brought Out by q Rich Chicago
ans Recent Experience.
Some days ago rich man becams
troublesome through drink and was TAX
eD to the Washingtonian home, plaoe
In Chicago where drunken men are de-
sained until sobriety Gains them. The
s1ch man found way to communicate
with mis- lawyer, but before legal aotioD
looking to his release could be takeI
ais relatives applied at the home, ano
ne was restored to their custody He
has since enjoyed his freedom.
1t is ali over now, bat some day q
very interesting question relative to
chat quasi public institution will de-
nand prompt and definite answer.
What right has the Westinghouse
home to receive men drunk OF sober
from their friends or others and deprive
shem for a month or day or an hour
Of their liberty? If the officials and at
tandants there can receive one man
brought there by his friends, may they
not by the same right receive anothef
brought By his enemies7
If any institution in the city may
without judicial commitment restrain
I man because he is troublesome through
drink, may it not restrain another be
cause he is troublesome through other
eaases, all the way from discoursins
IN flutes to q rich but discouraging old
Ege? If it may deprive man of his
liberty for an hour, NAV it not keen hin,
prisoner for months, for years, through
out his natural life?
The actions Of this so called "home'
are somewhat too radical Its SUPERIOR,
~ to all laws and constitutions, it's con.
travention of the principle that all men
have an inalienable right to liberty till
deprived of 1t by due process of law,
Its lofty disapproval Of any legal inter
ference, may eliminate some day in

VIEWS Of MARRIAGE.
It Consuramates Life-No Single Life IL
the Perfect One.

We hear young men say, 'I am too
poor to get married, and girls, The
man marry must be rich. These re-
marks appear harmless, and they may
have certain business shrewdness be-
hind them. Still the larger truth is that
the speakers most often do not take an
honest view of marriage, no matter how
honorable may be their purposes. Money
cannot insure happiness, and long ex-
perimenting in the countries of Europe
has shown that mating for wealth is the
sure road to lax and immoral domes-
tic economy. 1t would seem that the
sensible view to take of marriage is
that it consummates life for the poor
and the rich, the vulgar and the refnedi
that no single life is the perfect life.
The future of mankind depends almost
wholly upon happy marriages and
healthy offspring. And this suggests
that there should be no marrying of IN
sound people Greater selfshness cannot
be imagined than that which brings
children into the world doomed to life
of immitigable misery, the hereditament
of those who bear their parents burden
of disease. Shall we say that questions
arise in this connection too delicate fol
discussion with young persons? Is it
better to leave the discussion to be
raised after it is too late?
The sensible view of marriage is the
view that comprehends every conse-
quence To the young people looking
forward to long and happy wed ed
life it is of vital Importance that no E.
meut Of the subject shall be mystery
that nothing connected with the matri-
moniaI venture shall be left to the AZ
ard of chance. Parents must unders nd
that their children are to be parel IS;
that there is no escape from the response
5ility and that education is incomplete
and training inadequate which does not
qualify for paternity and maternity.
The young man and the young woman
who are fitted for marriage are fitted
for all that a healthy, courageous and
happy life demands or imposes. -Chau-
tauOu3n.
