inent amateur clubs to step into the place
left vacant by the CALIFORNIA;, and has de-
cided to give The Calls chance. They
will cross bats with the Pacifics next Sum-
day.
The State League, too, has not been
without its vicissitudes-. The San Jose
team proved very weak one, and when
ONeilPs Oaklands joined the league the
old Oakland team replaced the Garden
City men.
Even now they are hardly able to cope
with either the San Franciscos, new Oak
lands or Stocktons, so there will now be
general mix-up. The players of the
CALIFORNIA; will be punched with those of
the teams of the State League and three
new clubs chosen from the lot, thus keep
ing the number of clubs at four. This
will necessarily strengthen all of them.
The change will not cripple anybody,
and the usual games will be played al
both the Presidio Park and at the Folsom
street grounds on Sunday. There will
also be a contest at the latter place to.

Charley Mitchell Will Bcx the Irish
Champion in New York
City.

There is very little prospect of Maher
apd Choynski meeting in this City under
the auspices of any local athletic organiza-
ton.
Yesterday afternoon Connolly and
Maher held conference with some of tee
directors of the Olympic Club. and after
discussing pugilistic matters for some time
Connolly said positively that unless he
was guaranteed a purse of $1,000 he would
not consent to q contest between Joe and
Peter.
The club offered him $500 cash down
and an equal division of the net receipts,
but Connolly shook his head and replied
in the negative When Director Short
saw that it was only waste Of time totry
and induce Maher's manager to accept
anything short OF $4,000 purse, be called
the meeting adjourned permanently
w hen Connolly returned TO the Bald
win Hotel he was handed a message from
his partner in business, John ]. Quinn,
which read: "Get Choynski for New

lodging-house SOL Vallejo street for a
room. She paid % cents and was assigned
to a rather i'll furnished apartment.
There was nothing in the appearance of
the young woman to indicate either sui
eide or bad health.
At noon yesterday she had not risen,
and as no response came from the room
when the door was ratified the landlady
became much alarmed and forced an en-
trance into the room. On the floor was
found the body of the dead woman.
She was fully dressed, but there was
nothing to indicate struggle. From out
ward appearances death seems TO have
come from natural causes. On the floor
near the body was a sheet OF writing paper,
which. under the microscope, showed the
following: ''322-12 ST. Just under this
appeared the letters: "Sur-SulI." The
figures and letters had been evidently
scratched with pin.
James Royal, who keeps grocery under
the room occupied by the girl, says that
during the night he heard fall, followed
by moaning. He thought it was a chair
or some heavy object, and paid no atten-
tion to it.
Mrs. Pinkerton is the mother of two
children, who are inmates OF the Boys
and Girls Aid Society in the Western Ad-
dition. Her husband, who is now in the
East, contributed nothing toward the sup
port of his family and the young woman
was forced to gain livelihood for herself
and babies.
Up to few days ago she was employed
as domestic at SOS Filbert street. She
left that position and went to live with her
sister-in-law. Mrs. Hendricks, 322 Twelfth
street. She appeared to be despondent,
and 1t is presumed that during one of
these spells she went to the lodging house
and committed suicide.

HOPES THAT WERE VAIN.
The Fruitless Working and
Waiting of Miss Maria
B. Owens.
After Fifteen Weary Years She Finds
She Cannot Claim a Promised
Legacy.

Maria B. Owens is a disappointed, dis
gusted woman, for she has had to stand
the loss of no less than $4,000, for which
the has been working and waiting for fif-
teen years.
In 1881 Lawrence McNally, single man
of 81 years, and of fine address withal,
dawned upon the Owens homestead in
Michigan. There he met the confiding
Maria. The result of their meeting was a
contract, by the terms of which Maria was
to go and live with Lawrence, take care of
him and manage his domestic affairs
until death. Lawrence on his part claimed
to have $20,0 900, which he promised to leave
to Maria in his will if she kept her part of
the contract.
And so Maria Owens left her home and
kin in Michigan and devoted herself to
McNally. She worked early and late, kept
his house neat as pin and his clothes in
prime condition, but Lawrence repaid her
by taking wife.
Then Lawrence died and died intestate,
but he was not long dead when the case of
Maria b. Owens against Alice McNalIy,
administrative OF the estate of Lawrence
McNaliy, deceased, made matters lively
TOR the lawyers. Lawrence's estate was
found to De worth considerable more than
$4,000, consisting of real and personal
property, for the most part in Humboldt
County.
The court decided against Maria. IS
was held that the deceased had never de-
Cared or acknowledged the alleged con-
tract In any definite manner. She ap-
pealed and all she gained was another
decision, rendered yesterday, to the same
effect as the first.

passed through the trying ordeal of study
the preparatory stage-and will make her
debut on the real stage of footlights,
bouquets and fame August 19.
Miss Nielsen aspires to high comedy
roles, and with good reason. Her work so
far in this line has called forth the most
tiattering criticism. She has. in fact, been
compared even at this early period of her
career to Julia Marlowe. There is marked
resemblance of face, figure aud action be-
tween the two.
Miss Nielsen has the white skin and
golden hair of the Danish women. Her
father was Dane and played Hamlet in
the country OF Hamlet's birth. She is
vivacious and winsome and has fine
voice.
She will be assisted by her sister, Alice
Nielsen, who has sung with so much sue
cess at the Tivoi and who has been en-
gagged as prima donna for the Bostonians
during the coming season. Miss Nielsen
will also be supported by some of the best
talent OF San Francisco, the debut to be
given either at the Auditorium or at the
Metropolitan Temple.

DEEDS OF HUMAN DRUTES
Cases of Cruelty to Horses Seem
to Be Greatly on the
Increase.
One of the Animals Is Lucky Enough
to Be Released From Misery
by Pistol.

Cruelty to horses seems TO be the fad OF
the hour, the number of cases reported
Yesterday ct the Office of the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
being unusually large and of a peculiarly
aggravated type.
A fruit peddler known as Nike BlumeI-
thai, 26 years of age, has been driving an
animal fully as old as himself, which
might once have been horse. but
which when seen yesterday looked more
like the ghost of four-footed scarecrow.
The beasts lett fore foot and leg were hor-
ribly swollen and were dishgured by sores.
Officer George Delmer took the unhappy
animal to a stable on Golden Gate avenue,
where a pistol hot soon ended It's suffer-
ings. It took the officer an hour and o
half to lead the suffering brute from the
corner of Sansome and Market streets,
where It was found, to the spot where a
merciful death relieved its misery.
Another case is that of a scavenger, who
refused to tell his name, giving in lieu
thereof the convenient pseudonym of John
Doe. This amiable individual has been
persistently driving lame horse for some
time past. Repeated warnings having no
effect, the horse was yesterday taken in
charge and conveyed to the police stables
for treatment.
Third on the list is man named East
wood, the keeper OF a dairy on Victoria
street, near Broad. This man, who. would
seem TO be of an economical turn of mind,
has been reported for turning out no less
than seven horses to starve after working
them nearly to death.
''There are more cases here. said Secre-
tary Holbrook, indicating pile OF blanks
beside him, .'but they're all alike l
wonder if revival of the old-time whip
ping post would help matters little.

A Team OF the City League Deserts
and Joins the State Organ
izsffoD

There was an upheaval in local baseball
circles yesterday. The California Club of
the City League withdrew from that or
ganization and entered the California
League ranks. The change came in the
nature of surprise to Manager Rock
well, who was preparing to bill the boilers
for a game at Presidio PARK on Sunday.
The City League, since its inception two
months ago, has undergone several
changes. There were originally three
clubs, the Pacitics, Imperials and Cali
fornlas. Later, the all-Oakland team,
managed by Tip O'Neill and Lou Hardie,
was admitted. The latter, however, with
drew after playing one game and joined
the State League.
Now the CALIFORNIA; have followed them.
Despite this fact, however, Manager Rock

NOT YET A POLICEMAN.
Fred Lawrence Wants Thomas CaIIa-
han Arrested for Getting $3.50
From Him by Trlckery.

From Him by Trlckery.
Fred Lawrence, 514 Hayes street, ap-
peared in Judge Lows court yesterday
and asked for warrant for the arrest of
Thomas Callahan, an ex-policemau, on
the charge of grand larceny by trick and
device.
Lawrence said that he was eager to be-
come member of the Police Department
and Callahan learned of it. Thew talked
the matter over and Callahan offered to
get his brother-in-lsw, Ed Lanigan, the
prominent politician, to use his influence
with the Police Commissioners on pay
ment of $3.50. Lawrence alleges that on
October IL last year he gave Callahan
the money.
Lawrence is not vet wearing the blue
uniform with brass buttons, and says that
on making inquiry he found that Callahan
and Lanigan had not been on speaking
terms for years.
Prosecuting Attorney Madden decided
to withhold issuing the warrant until he
made an investigation into the matter.
Callahan several months ago was ar
rested on com plant of Lanigan for failure
to support his wife and family. The case
was heard by Judge Conlan, and it was
shown that Callahan had been spending
his earnings on other women, leaving his
wife and family to be supported by Lani-
gan. Callahan agreed TO contribute to
their support and the case was dismissed.
Lanigan heard on several occasions that
Callahan had been using his name without
authority and reported the matter to the
police. He says he would gladly see Cal
lahan in the penitentiary, and will assist
in his prosecution.

HAWAIIAN RELIEF SOCIETY.

Reorganized and New Officers
Elected-GoOd Work Performed.
4 meeting of the Hawaiian Re-
lief Society was held yesterday
morning at the home of Mrs. S. c.
Allen, Alakea street, with the
majority of the members present.
The society was re-organized and
a reelection of officers resulted as
follows: Mrs. S. c. Allen, president;
Mrs. James Campbell, vice-pre-
sident; Mrs. F. w. Macfarlane,
treasurer; Mrs. Graham, secretary
Mesdames A. A. Haalelea, J. O..
Carter, Geo. G. Beckley, E. K. Ma
kuina, Robert Levers, directors.
The bylaws az submitted by
Mrs. J. 0. Carter were read, approx
ed and accepted. They will be
printed in pamphlet form for the

In the bylaws is section bear
ing upon the admission OF new
members to the society. In order
to Join the society person must
be proposed by member and elect
ed by a majority vote.
Members must pay annual dues
of one dollar each.
A proposition was made and
accepted that $4,000 be set aside
to be used in the interest of needy
Hawaiians at the discretion OF the
investigation committee of three.
This sum must suffice for three
months. The proposition was made
to obviate the necessity Of frequent
meetings and to facilitate matters.
The investigation committee Will
act for six months.
The treasurer's report showed ex-
penditures of $500 from October
18th. 1895, to date. This was used
in the support of four needy Ha-
waiian families, and in furnishing
collins for natives whose families
were too poor to purchase them.
One of the four families spoken OF
will be dropped from the list, as
EMPLOYMENT has been found by the
male members. The other three
will continue on the roll.
The work of the Hawaiian Re-
lief Society in the past, and It's
present good working form, deserves
the commentator Of all who re-
cognize true merit.
