To-Day.
Miss Yates Described as an Attractive
Young Woman of Unusual
AttainmentS.

Rev. Anna H. Shaw Will arrive from the
East this evening. She will be accom-
panied by Miss May G. Hay, one of the
managers of the prospective county suf-
trage conventions. Miss Hattie B. Cooper
and Miss Lucy Anthony will meet them
at Sacramento. Miss Shaw will be the
guest of Mrs. A. A. Sargent at 1880 Fol-
som street while in the City, and Miss Hay
will be at the Berkshire.
Miss Susan B. Anthony is expected to
arrive from the south tomorrow, and her
headquarters will also be at Mrs. Sargent s
home.
Miss Elizabeth Upham Yates, who will
be Miss Shaw's colaborer in holding the
county conventions, will come to the
State two weeks hence, and about the
same time Miss Mills, who with Miss Hay
will arrange for the county conventions, is
expected to join the ladies.
Miss Yates is said to be one of the

Murderer.
The Unfortunate Wofnan's Funeral
Yesterday Was Largely At.
tended by Friends.

Berthe Paradis, the unfortunate woman
stranger last Friday morning, was buried
yesterday afternoon.
The people of her sphere flocked about
her bier and wept. They covered the cas-
ket and they filled the room with choice
flowers and floral pieces. Then. after fol-
lowing the dead one to her grave they dis
persed. Each woman went back to her
den.
So far as the police authorities are con-
cerned there is nothing new in the case.
The murderer is still at large. and there is
no i'm mediate likelihood that he will be ap-
pretended.
Cesar Chalbert, the woman's 'protec-
tor" was the chief mourner.
Among the magnificent pieces sent as
tributes of affection to the deceased was
one deserving of particular mention. 1t
was large pillow of lilies. which upon
close examination displayed in violets the
last sentiments expressed by Gilbert, the
cOnsumptiye poet of the French revolu-
tion, nearly 100 years ago. 1t read:
Au banquet de la vie, infortune convive
Japparus un jour ct je meurs;
Je meurs ct sur la tombe ou lentement jar
rive
Nul ne viendra verser des pleurs.
Translated as near as it can be into Eng
llsh, Gilbert's sentiment is: "An unfor-
tunate guest at the banquet OF life l ap-
pearcd and died, and upon my grave no
one will come to shed tear
The result of the Coroner's inquest yes
terday resulted in verdict to the effect
that the deceased had come to her death at
the hands of an unknown.
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-13

Convention called for the purpose of
naming delegates to the National Conven-
ton.
There are eleven State Central Commit
teemen representing as many Assembly
districts in this Congressional district, and
in this district resides ?. B. Cornwall,
member-at-large of the executive commit
tee of the State Central Committee and
chairman of that committee. Mr.. Corn
wall on the start assumed right to par
ticipate in the deliberations of the COM
mitteemen from the Fifth District in the
election of Congressional committee as
provided in the call, and he had further
called and superintended the first meeting
in San Jose last week and had postponed
the meeting from the date to which it was
adjourned on that day. Mr.. Cornwall did
not figure in any way in the proceedings
of yesterday. He attended the meeting of
the executive committee in San Francisco,
which during its session ruled against the
participation of ommitteemen- at-large in
Congressional district affairs, and he was
not represented by proxy at Redwood
City. Those present at the meeting were:
P. A. Bergerot, Charles Manwaring, G.
H. Umbsen (by George Umbsen, proxy,
John H. Dawson, n. G. Fairchild c. 4.
G. Ross, San Mateo County; S. f. Aver, J.
F. O'Keefe (by James Rea, proxy }. l..
Asay (by George Koen, proxy, Santa
Clara County.
The minutes of the two previous meet
ings were approved.
P. A. BergerOt, chairman at former
session, called the meeting to order.
George c. Ross of San Mateo County acted
as secretary. On motion of Rea the tenn
porary officers named were elected perma-
nent officers of the meeting.
Chairman Bergerot stated the object of
the meeting to be the election of Con-
gressional Campaign Committee, to con-
sist of seven members.
After some discussion, on motion OF
Aver of Santa Clara County, seconded by
Manwaring of San Francisco. the follow
ing gentlemen were unanimously declared
elected as the Congressional Committee of
the Fifth Congrt ssional District:
Robert Toplitz, John E. Richards, A. L.
Stetson. G. S. Laumeister, w. H. Law
renee, James Rea William Moir.
George G. Ross Of San Mateo county Of
fered the following motion. 1t was adopted
as seperate motion. although originally
intended to be passed as a rider to the
appointment OF the Committee of Seven":
tee that the manner and supervision of the
selection OF delegates to the State convention
should be left in the hands of the county
committees of the several counties.
Rea said that 80 far as he was concerned
he should not be bound, morally or in any
other manner, by any action that this COM
mittee should take The motion was
finally carried, however, bv a vote of nine
to two, Rea and Aver only voting
against it.
But few besides the State Central COM
mltteemen concerned were present at the
meeting which occurred in room in the
Courthouse. County Clerk C. f. Curry,
Samuel Priest and John Martin were the
only San Franciscans there besides those
who were members of the State Central
Committee from the Fifth District.
When the committee adjourned it ad-
journed to meet at 2 P. NJ. next Saturday
in the Office of John E. Richards in the
Crocker building in San Francisco.
The San Francisco call., 1896-03-13

meeting of the State Central Committee,
which, queerly enough, held one-hour
session and adjourned after doing some
thing which has brought about much con-
fusion and conflict and without dong
certain things which the state Centrai
Committee was imperatively called upon
to do.
1t was shown yesterday, In support OF
Mr.. Montague's resolution declaring the
powers and duties of the State Convention
now called, that the call referred only and
specifically to the selection OF dei-
egates to the National Convention.
The call declares only this to be the
purpose of the call, and only this selection
of delegates TO the National Convention Is
declared to be the duty and the purpose of
the State Convention, or rather, to be en-
tirely correct, the aggregation of Congress
sional conventions called. 1t plainly ap..
peared from reading of the call
that the State Central Committee had
conferred no other powers on the State
Convention, and that second meeting OF
the State Central Committee is demanded,
not only by these circumstances, but by
the condition into which the party has
been plunged within the past few days.
The only other important action taken
at the meeting was the election OF sue
cessor to Marcus d. Boruck, deceased,
who was, before his death, the member of
the State Central COMMITTEE from the
Fortieth District.
This was the question that best revealed
the alignment of the seventeen members
of the executive committee present. AT
this election the Mahoney- railroad element
cast seven votes and the Spreckels element
ten votes.
Sig Bettman was nominated by J. G.
DAILY, and the nomination was seconded
by Leon Dennery, both of whom made
brief and vigorous speeches.
Then James McNab nominated Charles
A. Hug in a short and well-framed address
and a vote was taken. Those voting for
Hug were the following: McQuaid,
Spreckels, Montague, Wells, Palmieri,
Easton, Sonntag, Cooney, McNab, Upham.
Those voting for Bettman were: Corn
wall. Mahoney, Dennery, Lennon, Chick
ering, Ruef, DAILY.
After this action the committee ad-
iourned
