and after nine months Imprisonment he
was run across the frontier with an injunc-
ton to clear out.
He returned to this country and found
his way to San Francisco in search of his
wife and the false friend. About eight
months ago he found the recreant countess
out in the Mission and Rehbender hover
ing near. Trouble ensued and the noble
Faedroff was taken in by the police for
rocking the streetcar in which the de-
stroyer of his peace had taken refuge. He
then persuaded her to return to his loving
care, but while he was absent, negotiating
with the corner grocery for commissary
supplies she spread wings and flew away.
She joined DR.. Henry's flock in the First
Baptist Church and the members declared
war against her Russian, who, they be-
lleved, was anything but nobleman.
Acting under the advice of her co-religion-
lists she sued for a divorce, but was unsuc-
cessful, Fredericks proving himself hus-
pand possessing some rights which the law
might respect.
The Countess Faedroff then took a suite
OF rooms at 114S Suffer street and, as Reh-
bender lived there also, Faedroff could
watch them both without extra expense.
She brought another suit against him, ask
ing the courts to give Her $50 month from
his wages for the support of the woman he
would not Tree. The papers were served
upon him few days ago and he, believing
this was more OF Count Rehbender's per-
secutions, camped day and night on his
trail. He met his enemy, as has been
mentioned, at the ferry landing and is now
In the City Prison in consequence of the
meeting.

MAN MUST BE RESTORED,
Hon. John Monteith Speaks at the
Second Unitarian
Church.

"Religious Naturalization" was the SUBJ
ject Hon. John Monteith chose for dis
course at the Second Unitarian Church
last night. The speaker held that the
world in which we live was never created
but was evolved by natural causes through
the ages he thought that man should go
to the school of nature to find his God, and
not search in the narrow paths of ortho-
doxy. atheism is but protest against
ferocious and ignorant man God, said Mr..
Monteith, "and the atheist is right mas
much as he has abolished the conception,
but he cannot abolish the stupendous fact
of nature. We can learn even from
heather superstition, for instance, the
japanese, when an earthquake is felt by
them, say that their God is only turning
lives, is evolved from liquid atoms and star
dust by the guiding hand of a supreme
being.
Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and car
bon are necessary to animal life, and the
destruction of life is simply releasing of
elements which in thousands, perhaps
millions of years hence will furnish life to
future generations. So you see death
really commences before birth, and all
men who have lived or who will live
through all time form one grand brother
hood. When l read of brutal murder I
think it is a libel on the brute creation.
Man has become denaturalized by defec-
tive education and he must be restored by
being taken into the temple of nature to
seek for God. If you look up and see one
patch of blue sky or one lone star in the
armament there is God"

THE FREE PUBLIC LIBRARY
improvements for the Benefit OF the
Patrons of the Institu-
ton.

Librarian George T. Clark of the San
Francisco Free Public Library is ever
mindful of the comfort of those who visit
the library. With the consent of the trus-
tees he is making Improvements beneficial
to patrons and helpful in promptly obtain
ing volumes called for.
The large space in front of the main en-
trance to the library proper, which was
formerly useless, has been converted into
an anteroom by placing large swing doors
in the arch. On the south wall there have
been put up glass-covered frames, in which
are placed lists of the latest additions to
the library as soon as catalogued. Under
these frames are two long desks for the
use of the patrons who wish to make
notes of the books they may desire.
In an inner room within the large one
in which the books for delivery are kept
there are being fitted up a number of
cases with roller shelves, on which to
place bound volumes of the various news
papers kept on file. This will be known as
the "fileroom."
As at present, two years files will be
kept in the reference room, but those of
anterior date will be placed in the file
great number of tones are piled one on
top of the other, and to obtain one that is
at the bottom Of dozen involves loss of
much time and considerable labor. Under
the new arrangement but two large or
three small volumes will be on each Shelf.
The reopening of the periodical and
magazine room off the reading department
is thoroughly appreciated by the patrons
who, for long time, were deprived Of the

A BLIGHTED HOME.
DIR. Wolf, Who Died OF Poison at
LathrOp, Was Once Assistant
Police Surgeon Here.

The gloom of inconsolable sorrow hangs
over mother and daughter who dwell in
the upper fat at 1907 Leavenworth street
The deeply afflicted are Mrs. DR.. Joseph
Wolf and Miss Wolf, mother and sister of
DR.. Joseph Wolf Jr., who died from a dose of
poison in his Office at Lathrop last Satur-
day morning. This blow, coming as it did
within month of the tragic death of Miss
Adele Wof-or Mrs. Carlo Enrico Reta-
at the Palace Hotel in this City, has nearly
crushed the hearts of the mother and sister
of the two unfortunates. Mrs. Reta was
the favorite sister OF the young doctor who
died from the fatal draught at Lathrop,
and since the tragedy at the Palace DR..
Joseph Wolf Jr. has not been right in mind
or body. Whether or not he took the fatal
dose with suicidal intent may perhaps
never be definitely learned.
The deceased was graduate of the
Cooper Medical College and was considered
unusually skillful in his profession. He
had travelled and studied in Europe, and
at one period of his life showed signs of
burning ambition to rise in his profession.
In 1890, while DR.. Williams was in charge
of the old Receiving Hospital, DR.. Wolf
was assistant police surgeon for about nine
months. Dr. r. E. Bunker was the other
assistant, and he and Wolf were on terms
of friendly intimacy. While speaking Of

the programme, "The Banner of the
Cross" there appeared at the main en-
trance of the church procession of '95
Sunday-school children headed by the
pastor, and while marching up the main
aisle to front reserved seats sang the hymn
in unison with the choir.
Attorney f. A. Berlin. superintendent of
the school, delivered an address betiiting
the occasion. Following him came the
report of the secretary and treasurer, indi-
eating not only healthy growth in men,
bers, but also a satisfactory financial con-
dition Of the school.
Rev. D. Hanson Irwin attracted the at
tention of both his elder and younger
hearers as he drew the parallel between
the raw recruit drilled into perfectedness
to follow the banner of his country and the
newly converted sinner fashioned to a
singleness of purpose to follow unreserv-
eddy the cross emblazoned banner of
Christ.
The healthy and improved condition of
st. Johns Sunday school is steadily keep
ing pace with the increasing prosperity of
the church itself, and under the efficient
pastorate of Mr.. Irwin it has a bright
future.
The school was started in a little room
in a house on Post street and subsequently
met in the hall over the California Theater,
afterward occupied by the free library,
st. Johns pastor being the Rev. DR.. Scott.
j. Z. Garniss, still member of st. John
Church, was one of the first trustees of
the Sunday-school.

TWO WARL|KE NOBLEMEN,
Count NiCOluSki Faedroff
ThumpS Count Alexis
Rehbender.
He Tells a DolefuI Tale of Shat
tered Joys in Two Con-
tinentS.

Nicoluski Faedroff, or Nicholas Fred
ericks, is a Russ ian nobleman.
Alexis Rehbender is also peer from the
land of Tolstoi and possibly an exile suf-
fering the martyrdom of expatriation for a
principle. Neither of these blue-blooded
Muscovites has proof of his respective
rights-patent to a title other than a vigor-
Gus denial of each others alleged nobility
and desire, intense and mutual, to see
the other wiped from the solar system.
The animus of their rage is Mrs. Fred
ericks, or the Countess Faedroff, as the
title-loving American dame would prefer.
Her yearning desire to change her name
and title (she was plain Emma Foster be-
fore her marriage) has precipitated her
lord and noble master into several pie
beian scrapes, the last one of which oc-
CURED yesterday afternoon, when he saw
his lady and the hated Count Rehbender
coming eff the Oakland ferry-boat.
With Cossack yell he smote his coun-
tryman with heavy cane. The other
parted the stroke with his stick in man
ner becoming the duello, and the battle
was progressing quite merrily when Cap
tain Dunleavy's men ran the Frederlcks
peer into the station house and wrote

his lordly title.
The domestic woes of this discordant
trio began several years ago, when they
went back on visit to Russia.
Their passports were vised by the St.
Petersburg officials, but in few minutes

which he was riding up town to his hotel
and thrown into the gloomy fortress of SITS.
Peter and Paul.
Rehbender had informed the Russian
Government that his companion was a
rabid nihilist and the head of bomb fac
tory.
Then Rehbender and the countess
skipped for America, leaving Fredericks
with dread Siberia looming up before him.
He finally convinced the Minister of
Police that he was only plumber, or a
tinker, and not killing Cars for pastime.
