IN the housework. The daughter was Mary
Ellen Lampman. One day she lett home
ana came to San Francisco, where she
was In hospital for week or two, after
whleh she returned home.
1t was rumored that Miss Lampman had
given birth to a child whose father was
James Il. Fair Jr. But this her mother
oenied, though it was then pretty well
understood that the baby was left IN a
toundllng asylum in San Francisco. :.
subsequently Mary Ellen made her exit
from the scene by taking dose OF poison.
;, Inc remainder of the story was told IN
the CITY Prison by Mrs. McAlllster last
night.
II have been told to say nothing about
this, she said with an air of mys tery and
a nod that meant even more than she
cared to state.
You go and see Mrs. Gregory on Bush

story-lf she wants to talk.

At this Mrs. McAllister stopped short
until repeated questions started her tongue

the papers had it. The girl was never

at her mothers resort, and they say he
was the father of her child, which was put
INTO founding asylum here. About the
child there are some doubts. And now III
tell you how Mrs. Gregory came to be con-
nected with the case.
Mrs. Gregory was married to man
who had an estate-a widower with two or
three daughters. She went to the found
ing asylum on Golden Gate avenue and
got a child which she wanted to adopt so
that she might get her husbands estate for
the child and herself. The husband died
some time ago and some settlement OF the
estate was made, but l don't know what it
was.
Mrs. Gregory still has the little girl,
and now claims it is the daughter of Mary
Lampman and young James Fair.
Now there is nothing in that yarn. l
know it. You can find out from the
Founding Asylum people where the child
was got. Nobody knows whose child the
little black-haired girl is, and 1 know that
Mrs. Gregory cannot prove it. She began
three or four years ago to fight for the
child as an heir of James Fair Jr.. and has
employed attorneys She expected to get
some of the half million that Mrs. Fair left
him, but [ don't see how she is going to
get any of that money now, as it was di-
vided after his death"
Mrs. McAllister was in prison on a
charge of drunkenness, and while in a
voluble mood told the foregoing story.

had as much right to introduce testimony
as had the District Attorney.
Judge Morrow decided that he could
only permit the introduction of testimony
on the railroad company's corporate exist
ence, but Monteith intends making fight
to get some of his own witnesses on the
stand.
Eugene V. Debs will be here next Tues
day, and the defense proposes to put him
on the stand and obtain what information
he has about the alleged conspiracy. Mon
teith is confident that Debs can enlighten
the jury on some obscure points.
On Monday next, therefore, the United
States will put an official of the Southern
Pacific OF Kentucky on the stand to prove
that it is corporate body and the owner
of the roads on which the strike took place.
Monteith will then make his attempt to
get Debs on the stand, and lively times are
expected. Ii the case could only be kept
open another week or so G. P. Huntington
will be here and then the defense could
also call him as a witness in its behalf.

VARLEY'S PECULIAR MISSION
AN EVANGELIST TO PREACH IN
EVERY CITY WHERE ENGLISH
Is SPOKEN.
He HAS COME FROM AUSTRALIA
AND HAS BEEN AROUND
THE WORLD.

The Rev. Henry Marley who has come
to San Francisco from Australia will begin
series of evangelistic services at the First
Congregational Church in Oakland to-
morrow morning. In the evening he will
preach in the First Methodist Church.
Mr.. Marley has reputation only
second to that of Mr.. Moody as an evanga-
list, and has travelled round the wo rid
preaching the gospel.
For many years he presided over the
West London Tabernacle and for eighteen
years his personal services were given
gratuitously, he being at the same time
engaged in mercantile pursuits.
Twenty-Five years ago, he says, he made
covenant with the Lord that if he were
spared to life and health he would visit
every English speaking city in the world
to preach the gospel, and it is in fulfill
ment OF that promise that he is now here.
In an interview Yesterday he said that
he did not know how long he might re-
main; but that depended entirely upon
how his work might develop.
Mr.. Marley was an intimate friend OF the
late DR.. Spurgeon and says that he had the
pleasure and profit OF long interview with
him a few weeks before. his death. They
were both, he says, originally members of
the Baptlst church, but both lett to be-
come independent preachers-Spurgeon at
the height OF the great down grade con-
troversy," as the discussion over the pre-
vailing tendency TO ultra-liberalism was
called. but Varley had quilted it long be-
fore, although for the same cause.
Mr.. Marley says he has visited all the
English colonies in the Far East, India,
South Africa and finally Australia, where
he made his home at Melbourne. AL
though London has been his great field for
SO many years and would have remained
his headquarters or. home he was COM

any case of freckles in exist

tan and sunburn. 1t takes
from three to nine days to
destroy every trace of freck-

known to the world that does
this. Now is the time to use
