A Short Prayer.

The fact that short prayers are likely
to be well received by members Of a
political assembly was graphically u.
Illustrated mt the Republican convention
OF Illinois In 1878. The Rev. Robert
NoUrse, then pastor Of tho COng,ega.
tlOnal Church ut Springfield. had been
invited to make the opening prayer,
aud the temporary chairman, Colonel
BnbcOck, Us lie announced that the
clergyman would Invoke tho Divine
blessing" whispered to him to "cut It
short" We cOndense tho subsequent
proceedings from the Chicago Tribune:
The injunction WINS Obeyed to the
very letter. for tho prayer .was sub.
stantially az not literally rs follows:
''OLOrl God of nations, we are met to
nominate officers for our State. Give
us wisdom that we may nominate the
best men: when we have done TINT
grant TINT they may Ike elected. and
When elected make them true to their
trust. Amen"
The delegates who had been cOmpOs.
Ing Themselves for a prayer Of the usual
proportions were taken by surprise
The pith and logical point OF the prayer
was recognised; as the last word was
uttered, the convention broke out In a
whlrlwind Of applause, which con.
tlnued for some minutes.
When the tlme for nominating the
first state officer, that of State Treas
urer. arrived, some enthusiastic dele
gate nominated Mr.. NOurse. This
COllcd forth new outbreak which that
gentleman assisted In checking by POSI-
lively refusing to be candidate.
A similar scene was enacted when
tue office OF Superintendent Of Public
Instruction was reached. with like
result. And 80 the reverend gentleman
was kept busy to the end declining the
honOrs which tho convention seemed
DESTROYS Of thrusting upon him.

MISS DALY'S BENEFIT
A Local Favorite Who VIII Be
Launched by Friends on
ThtIrCdaV

Miss Anna DAILY, the fair and favorite
local actress. Will be rendered farewell
testimonial on Thursday evening at Ma
tive Sons Hall, Ala Mason street. Miss
Daily has already won many laurels on
the stage, having played with the Rose
Coghlan Company in Carmen" when
she sustained the role of Mercedes with
great credit. She is well and fayorably
known in social and dramatic circles in
this City. She hopes to join the Rose
Coghlan Company on November l in New
York, whence they will tour through the
South. Miss Daly's many friends antici-
pate a large attendance on Thursday
evening perhaps the last opportunity for
some time for hearing this talented per-
former. This young lady will on this &C.
casion appear. in sparkling one-act
drama in role which is peculiarly
adapted to her clever style of acting.

business street of the district. We intend,
as we decided at the meeting last Tuesday,
to illuminate the street with arc lights
from Sutter to Pacific avenue, and this will
be done probably about the end of this
month. That matter is now in the hands
of Messrs Quinn and Schmidt. Then we
propose to induce all the merchants on the
street tomake their places of business as
attractive as possible; that is, we will re.
quest that they do and that they keep open
until stated hour every weekday night.
Then we shall seek to have the street put
in frst-class condition, and we will use
our best endeavors TO have the street cut
through from Greenwich to Lombard,
which is now obstructed by high en-
bankment.
s'If we succeed in having that removed
we will have an open thoroughfare from
Market to North Point street, the northern
terminus of which will be one block from
Fort Mason at Point San Jose.
I'VE propose to make our places of busi-
ness attractive and offer inducements, so
that we may compete with downtown
stores and retain the trade which naturally
belongs 10 this district. In brief, our aim
is to put life into the street.
1--WE have in contemplation a number
of things of which it would not be polite
to speak now, but they are such as will be
of benefit to the people of this section.
''Our club now numbers 100 mem bers,
all, except twenty-three who are property
owners, being merchants and store
keepers. Our executive committee has
had one session, at which a number of
matters were discussed, and it will report
at the meeting to be held next Tuesday
evening""

mer FunGs.

The police and quite number of con-
iding business men would like very much
to know the present whereabouts of N. Il.
Chevallier. who for some time past has
followed the occupation of drummer for
hquor-houses in the City.
Some of the acquaintances he made
while acting in this capacity are exhibit
ing checks on which they advanced him
coin in various amounts and which turned
out to be utterly useless.
On September 80 Chevallier called on
Kutchmelster & Hoffman of Stockton
street and asked a member of the firm to
advance him Sc 80 on a check for $40.
promising TO return the next day and get
the balance of the money, when the check
should be cashed by the Tallant Banking
Company, on which it was drawn. As
Cheyallier had been known to the firm for
some time the money was advanced with
out question.
When payment was demanded at the
bank it was found that Chevallier or the
firm whose name was signed to the check
had no funds there, and it also developed
that no less than four similar checks had
been presented for payment.
The name of M. Augenblic a Market
street iiquor-dealer, is signed to most of
the checks. which are mainly for small
amounts

talking about the woman being poisoned
and an empty box marked "Rough

The result of the autopsy also bears out
the diagnosis of the case made by DR..
FitZgibbons when the woman was taken
to the Receiving Hospital. The doctor
came to the conclusion that she was suf-
fering from nothing but alcoholism out
side of the wound in her face made by the
glass thrown at her by her husband.
'The publication of the statements, -
said DR.. Fitzgibbon yesterday, that Po-
liceman Eskew told me the woman had
taken poison and that did not examine
her for traces of poison has placed me in

supply few particulars. Mr.. Shrader made
his appearance INN orthern Illinois two years
ago. He claimed to be pastor of a small Ger
man Congregational church in Wisconsin and
said that his church and home had been
burned up in the fires thatraged there through
the summer. He lost his sick sister in the
flames and only saved himself by standing up
TO his neck in small lake. He carried q let
ter in support of his claims, with the name of
gregational Missions for Wisconsin, attached
to it. He gained through that letter the SYM
pathy and help of many ministers in Illinois
He was introduced to churches. graphically
described his experiences in the great fires
and received liberal donations, which he said

by the congregation in Illinois of which was
at that time pastor.
1t was soon discovered that his letter bear

Once Bought Himself a Crucifx

The alleged "Divine Healer" Schrader
left by the early morning train yesterday
for San Jose. His departure was SO sud-
den that his manager was left in this
City.
As to the cause of the sudden departure
no one about the international Hotel,
where he had been stopping, professed to
know anything. There were very few in
quiries at the hotel concerning him con-
sidering the great numbers who had been
waiting upon him for blessing. 1t is al
together likely that THE CALLS exposure
of the man was responsible for both of
these circumstances-the turning away OF
the public and the departure from the
City Of the black-robed mystic.
Schrader was prepared to go to any
length that the sim plicity and credulity OF
the people CT this City would permit.
And certainly the throngs who waited
upon him, begged his blessing, even kneel-
ing before him, seemed to warrant him IN
attempting any extreme.
For instance, as one of the properties
of his snow he carried photograph of
stout old lady, very comfortable looking
housewife. whom he claimed was his
mother.
Wherever show this photograph, he
said in an interview with a CALL man Sat

This is the sort of talk with which the

him in private. He laughs, too, over the
people who come to see him for a blessing.
"Of course there are many who come to

that they have been blessed by the great
