WANTS TO Be AN ACTRESS.
WHY PRETTY MISS CALLIE BIRK-
MAN DESERTED HER HOME
IN PETALUMA.
AN ACTIVE SEARCH FOR THE MISS
ING YOUNG GIRL Now IN
PROGRESS.

An active search is being prosecuted by
the police for pretty Miss Callie Birkman,
who disappeared from her home in Peta-
luna several months ago. 1t is certain
Miss Birkman is in this city with a view
of entering upon dramatic career, but
thus far her relatives have been unable to
secure any clew as to her whereabouts.
Miss Birkman, who is less than II years
of age. was a well-known figure in Peta-
luna church circles, her grandfather at
one time having filled pulpit in that city
as pastor. Caliie did not respond as
warmly to religious training as her grand
father might have expected, but at an
early age betrayed a lively disposition

lola AS A HUMBUG.
Rev. Il. j. Dupuy Upon the Realistic
French Author.


Rev. E. J. Dupuy, in his lecture on Mon
day night on Emile Zola," described the
writer as resembling a retired merchant,
and described the tenor of his works as
composed of wrong impressions. Accord
ing to him, men are hypocrites or brutes
the world is compound of pretense and
filth.
Il am astonished," the lecturer contin-
ued, chat he has found followers, and
that people have accepted his novels as
true. He has only written the dark side OF
life. His doctrine that there can be no
virtue and honesty cannot be accepted.
lola is great humbug. He has been
humbugging the world all through by writ
ing as he does. He has the greatest de
scriptiye power of any French writer OF
the nineteenth century. His mission has
not been achieved, however, because he
went downward instead of upward when
picturing the human family.''

MASON D0REE SOLD OUT.
The Sheriff Closes the Career of the
Famous Old Place.


The Maison Doree, long patrenized and
well beloved by San Francisco epicures,
was sold at auction under an execution for
debt Monday. The sale was conducted
by Auctioneer Spear.
1t is several weeks since the public was
surprised one morning to find the Sheriff s
paddock on the front door. The place had
been attached for unpaid mortgages and
interest, and the case took its course
through the courts until it ended in the
sale of everything within the walls that
belonged to the restaurant.
There was a large crowd of people pres
ent when the sale was called, but they
were not all intending buyers. Many Of
these were "old-timers," who had often
made merry there, and came merely to
take last look at the familiar old place.
The bidding was lively, yet the prices
realized were not high. Everything was
sold, from the carpets on the floor to the
ornaments in the ceiling, and the specta-
tors gave sigh when the auctioneer
called out his last "Going, gone, gonep'

Creditors of the City Urge the Pay

The Associated Creditors of the City and
County of San Francisco have issued cir
cular to the press and public, urging that
municipal expenditures be curtailed by
the Supervisors until their claims, some OF
them over two years old, are paid.
"We understand" says the circular,
"there is disposition to accept the truth
and full force of our argument made to the
Board of Supervisors in a communication,
showing the legality of city warrants
drawn on temporarily depleted funds and
suggesting legal method for their pay

ALAMEDA.

Senate bill No. 50, which is now the law
of California, is of personal interest to at
least six, and probably more, Alamedans
who were soldiers or sailors during the
war of the rebellion. There are six per-
sons holding appointments in some branch
of the municipal department whom this
law affects.
Policemen Kamp and Welch have a
double cinch on the positions which they
now hold. a recent ordinance provides
that no policeman shall be removed from
the force except after hearing on written
and sworn charges. Everett Ames, janito1
of the West End School, and Henry P.

directly. and if there is any virtue IN 1t

WANTS HIM REMOVED.
Henri wigger, Mrs. Gundlach's Guar
dian, Is Not Satisfactory.


Mrs. Annie Watcher, sister of Mrs. Anna
Caroline Gundlach, an insane person, has
petitioned the Probate Court to remove
Henri Wigger from his position as guar
dian of Mrs Gundlachs person and estate
Wigger was appointed TO his position as
guardian in June, 1890. Since that time,
the petitioner alleges, he has received into
his control for the use and benefit of Mrs.
Gundlach $1275 and he has failed to in any
way account for any part of the sum. He
is charged by the petitioner with misman-
aging and misappropriating the estate of
his ward and having converted it to his own
use, and of going through insolvency so
that no demand can be made upon him
The petitioner therefore prays that Henri
Wigger be removed from his position as
guardian and that he be compelled to
account for the estate he is charged with
toner be appointed in his place Mrs.
Gundlach is now in the Stockton ASYLUM.
