tiers of the nation, it would never be
thought good idea to reproduce another
monument that had already been placed
in public park. The nearest thing to such
proposition was the Martin Luther monu-
ment erected at Worms, and designed, sup
posedly. by Reichel. AS a matter OF fact
it was designed by him, with the exception
OF the face, and OF that there is quite a
story. When Reichel died, he had almost
finished Luther's figure, and in life had
been assisted by three OF his pupils. The
figure proper and the face were about COM
pleted, but it was necessary to put on
few extra touches before the cast was
made. His death, however, put stop to
the work SO far as he was concerned, and
its completion rested upon Professor Kitz
and the celebrated Donndorf. Apparently
they finished the work, and it was erected
and unveiled with proper ceremonies.
Some wears later, when another monument
was required to commemorate the four
hundredth anniversary OF the Restoration
OF Professionalism, another Inquire OF Luther
was required, and as it was acknowledged
that Reichel's work was the best.
a controversy arose as to whether
or not it would be the proper
thing to reproduce q similar monument.
The idea was at once howled down and
scoffed at. About this time, or when the
Indignation was at its height, kitz came
iOI NGTQ anu lIfale Il COuiCoSlOHs Ilc SlttLCu
to the authorities of the city of Dresden,
where the new work was to be located,
that the face on the Luther statue at
Worms was not ReichePs work, but that it
had been modelled by Donndorf He also
confessed that Donndorf Immediately
after his masters death, had cut the
Reichel face off the Luther clay model with
fine wire and had added thereto his own
work, and that he (Kitz) had secured the
real Reichel and that it was still in his
possession. This admission created most
Unprecedented excitement among the
scn.ptors of the Old World, and Donndorf
admitted his connection with the affair.
After the exposure had been quieted down
Kitz permitted his treasure to be used for
the face on the Dresden monument and
the Luther figure at Worms was repro
duced. the same height as the original
(nine feet) and ReichePs first face of Luther
put where it belonged. That was the
nearest thing to duplication that ever
took place in Germany, and it would not
have occurred then had it not been for the
size of the figure and the desire to get the
Reichel original.

One Bank ExplainS.

In answering the suit of P. F. Dundon
against the Pacific Bank, to set aside the
transfer of the Pacific Bank property to
the Peoples Home Bank, the defendants
in the suit have made the following ex-
planation:
Soon after the Pacific Bank was incor-
porated, in May, 1888. it commenced to re-
ceive large deposits from the Peoples
Home until, in 1898, it owed the People,
Home Bank $3.50, 600, and had guaranteed
other Indebtedness to the amount of $685.
O0O About this time the Riverside Bank
of Riverside owed the Pacific Bank S4O0, 900.
To induce this Indebtedness to the Pacific
Bank, the Riverside Bank conveyed some
of it's real estate to various parties, and
then with the notes obtained liquidated.
These notes the Pacific Bank executed to
the Peoples Home Bank under guarantee.
Under this transaction the Peoples Home
Bank credited the Pacific Bank with
S215. 5.2S7 72, and the Pacific credited the
same amount to the Riverside Bank. The
Pacific Bank had further guaranteed the
Peoples Home for Los Angeles Consoli-
dated Electric Railway bonds to the
amount OF $200, 900.
In consequence of all these transactions
the Pacific Bank alleges that it conveyed
the deed for the bank premises to the
Peoples Home in satisfaction OF these

Escapade of Lieutenant White Of
the Bear and a Chorus
Girl.
ACCUsER OF CAPTAIN HEALY.
To the Invalid Wife Left Behind He
Sent Confessing Letters limiting
at Suicide.

Lieutenant Chester White, late of the
revenue cutter Bear and the accuser of
Captain Healy, has eloped with an actress
of the Passing Show" Company, so says
the invalid wife left behind.
His present companion was a chorus
girl know in theatrical circles as Mabel
Howe" but in private life as Mabel
Charming. According to his wife's story
the lieutenant was an admirer of Miss
Charming before he married Mrs. White.
SO that the escapade of the young naval
officer is the revival of an old love. He
had been married only year.
Shortly after the Bear arrived from the
north (November 16) Lieutenant White
preferred charges of a grave nature in
Washington against Captain Healy, but a
few days later he withdrew his charges,
sending also apologies to the officer he had
accused.
When the Bear came into port Lieuten-
ant White at once secured twenty-four
hours leave of absence and went to his
home on Golden Gate avenue to see his
wife. His visit was brief one, and the
remainder of his period of absence was
spent with Miss Charming in Oakland.
Another brief visit was paid to his wife
next day, he hurriedly kissing her good-by
on the pretense that he had to report at
once for duty. Mrs. White has not seen
him since.
Within forty-eight hours from the time
of the arrival of his vessel from the north
Lieutenant White and Miss Charming
were aboard train en- route for the East.
His wife received a sentimental letter from
him some days ago, in which mlssive her
husband hinted at a possible suicide in
the following words:
When you read this you will, of course,
know what has occurred. l will have week
or so of the only real happiness my miserable
life has ever known, and then the end for both
she and l.
I cannot ask forgiveness, for I know it is
impossible for such an act as mine, but try
and not think too hardly of me.
Good-by forever, for will not see you again,
not even beyond the grave.
The recreant husband and officer first
became apprised of the presence here of
"Mabel Howe" by letter his wife handed
him at his first appearance home. He
told her it was from the woman and added
the information that she was with the
"Passing Show company, qualifying his
illusions to her with considerable levity.
He hastened to see Miss Charming, how
ever, who was then in Oakland.
Before the lieutenant was half way
across the continent he telegraphed his
resignation to Washington, but since then
he has Withdrawn it and has been assigned
to another station.
Mrs. White endeavored to keep her ap-
parent misfortune a secret, but yesterday
admitted the circumstances of his cruel
desertion. Her illness has been greatly
aggravated by her husbands conduct, SO
much so that it was necessary for her,
under her physicians orders, to be re-
moved to the Hotel Lennox. She was
completely prostrated for while. Two
letters were sent to her by her husband,

A PIONEER TEACHER,
The Late Mother O'NeilI of Benicia
Came to California in tho
Eifties.

Mother Louise O'Neill, superioress of st.
Catherine Convent at Benicia, who died a
short time ago, was the adopted daughter OF
Mrs. Ewing, mother of Mrs. Phil Sheridan.
She was born in Virginia in 1928, but her
parents died when she was quite a child.
Her education was received at the Acad-
envy of the Dominican Sisters in Somer-
set, Ohio, and she afterward entered the
Dominican Order, in which she received SO
much distinction.
The late Archbishop Alemany visited
the convent at Somerset ON his return home
from European trip. This was in 1851.
In May of that year the young sister made
her profession, and on the same day, in
company with Sister Frances Stafford,
started for California. Mother Mary
Gremare had already established a school
ut Monterey, and there the two. young Sis
ters from Ohio joined her. In 1854 Arch
bishop Alemany established st. Catherine S
Academy at Benicia and placed the sisters
in charge. Mother Louise became supe-
rioress and directed the affairs of the con-
vent up to the time of her death.

Sculptors Here Worked W
Over the Goethe.Schiller
Monument.
WILL IT COME FROM ABROAD
Otto Dobbertin Recalls an Incident in
the History of the Martin Luther
Memorial.

If the $4,000 recently realized at the
Goethe-Schiller festival, held at the Me-
chanics' Pavilion for the purpose of secur-
ing sufficient capital to erect monument
to the immortal poets of the Fatherland, is
spent in reproducing Reiche's masterpiece
in Weimar, Germany, it will create rum
pus among the local sculptors and may ex-
tend to other art centers of America
There is most decided opposition to the
proposed plan of taking duplicate cast of
the monument at Weimar, not only for the
reason that it will do the American sculp-
tors no good, but because it is contrary to
the ethics of the art of making memorial
monuments.
"Who ever heard of any one taking q
cast of masterpiece and setting 1t up in
some other country? 1t is not good policy
and it is decided reflection upon the
sculpt ors of this country" said Otto Dob
bertln Yesterday. 1.-The money obtained
for the purpose of erecting monument to
Goethe and Schiller was secured in
America and it should be spent here. A
great many of the men who were
foremost in the festival held at the
Pavilion are members of the Manu-
facturers' and the Merchants AS
sociation, and the strongest clause in
their constitution is to patronize home in
dustry and keep all the money possible IN
San Francisco. | should think under these
circumstances that they should practice
what they preach. We have several COM
petent sculptors here, but they were never
invited to even make design for the
monument. The projectors prefer to get
reproduction of a work made nearly n ninety
wears ago. 1t is true that Reichel was a
great sculptor, but it can also be said with
truth that since his time few improve
ments in the art have been made. Ii he
were alive 1 would be willing to wager
that he would not permit cast to be
taken from the Weimar monument. 1t is
not artistic to stop at one work nor does it
encourage better production. If we have
to 60 to Germany for our best works, what
is the good OF trying to produce anything
here?
understand me, I am not meking an
independent fight for San Francisco talent
alone. | think that would be too narrow,
but do believe, in common with the rest
of the sculptors of this City, that the
money should be spent in America. If no
one here is able TO suit the committee,
let them send to the Eastern artists, but
by all means keep the money in this
country, where it was accumulated.

THE HUMAN FACE IN ART.
Professor Ardley Talks on the
Anatomy Of Human Ex.
preston.
Effect of Passions on the FeatureS-A
Lecture at the Mechanics
Institute.

Professor H. T. Ardley of the University
of California delivered in the Mechanics
Institute lecture last evening, taking for
his subject, 1.-THE Anatomy of Expression
in the Human Face and Figure" There
was an unusually large audience present
and the lecture was very interesting.
The lecturer explained the outward ex-
preston by the human face OF inward feel
ings from the point of view OF the artist,
in order to show what lines to accentuate.
He said that all the leading academies of
Europe associate the study of anatomy
with that of art so far as it relates to the
human form and spoke of the necessity to
the artist of knowledge of the muscles
| which play so large part in the forming
of expression. He then went on and gave
some hints on the anatomical expression
of the human face when influenced by GER
tain feelings and passions that would aid
| in clearer understanding of just what
muscles or what lines must be altered or
accented in order to produce or enhance
certain desired effects.
"For instance" he said, Jealousy is
marked by frowning and dark obliquity
| of the eyes, as if it said Il have an eye on
you,' and with the lowering eyebrow is
com bined cruel expression of the lower
part of the face. In rage the eyebrows are
knit, the eyelid lifted and the eyeba1ls
glare. There is general tension of the
muscles. The effect on the countenance
may be seen more plainly in the feminine
than the masculine face.
cit is by the habit of expression that the
countenance is improved or degraded. If
hardship, misfortune and care are there
expressed habitually, what we admire the
most is lost. Peace, comfort and happiness
keep the features mobile and ready to con-
form as an index of the mind to the senti-
ment we love-"
Professor Ardley illustrated his lecture
with large number of clever sketches.

The bunker of 2O00 tons of coal was
noticed several days ago to be smoking,
and upon examination it was learned that
spontaneous com bustion had taken place,
the fire beginning in the bottom of the
pile where the coal had become damp.
AS is we'll known all coal contains iron
and sulphur, and the oxygen in the
moisture coming in contact with this
sulphuret of iron, or iron pyrites, gen.
crates heat, which feeding upon the car
bonc elements of the coal burns until all
the combustible gases have decomposed
and been dissipated into the atmosphere.
AS the workmen shoveled out the con-
Stunning matter, ii was seen that the sup
porting timbers of the bunker running
down through the coal had burned away,
necessitating their being pieced out as the
removal of the heated mass progressed.
All the contents of the bunker will be re-
moved, and Superintendent Noble of the
mills estimates that about $1,000 worth of
coal will be destroyed. He states that the
poorer qualities OF coal, which contain
greater proportion of sulphur Is always
liable to spontaneous com bustion if any of
the pile becomes exposed to moisture and
begins to oxldize. Three years ago over
10000 tons at the rolling mills caught fire
and the City Fire Department worked a
week before the combustion was gotten
under control. About $50, 90 worth of coal
was destroyed
1t is not believed that this fire will cause
the works to shut down, as the mills are
almost ready to run by the use of oil fuel.
A 1000 barrel tank, containing 294, 900 gal
Ions, is being constructed and pipes have

L. w. Dohrmann, who was one OF the
prime movers in the Goethe-Schiller festi-
val, said of the proposition to reproduce
the Weimar work: ''When we first began
preparations for the festival it was known
among the sculptors that we intended
sending to Germany for reproduction OF
the Reichel monument and none OF them
made very decided objection at that
time. Since then, however, some have
spoken of it. So far as | am concerned
| think the claims of local artists should
receive some consideration, but none of
them have shown what they can do with
the case in question. 1t is simply mat
ter of getting good work. On one hand
it is matter of some doubt and on the
other concrete and safe proposition. We
know that Rechel's creation is a fine work,
and we don't know what we can get here.
1t reminds ME very much of Lincolns re-
