SAYS MILLER IS BOGUS.
j. L. Franklin Acknowledged Tha
Captain Lees Was Right.

j. L. Franklin Acknowledged That
Captain Lees Was Right.
General E. S. Solomon, attorney for J.
L. Franklin, takes exception to the atti-
tude of Frank Miller, the butler recently
arrested in Santa Barbara for seducing a
minor child. According to the general
Franklin and Captain Lees agree in con-
demning Miller.
General Solomon says that he and Mr..
Franklin are absolutely satisfied that Mil
Ter enticed the alleged burglar to the house
and then shot him. Mr.. franklin dis
charged Miller because neither he nor his
family could tolerate his presence. Cap
tain Lees, SAYS General Solomon, urged
Mr.. Franklin to keep the man in his house
q little longer in order that the investiga-
ton might be more thorough, but Mr..
Franklin found it impossible to meet the
man who he was convinced was rogue
and discharged him, explaining his motive
to Captain Lees.
General Solomon, as Mr.. Franklin's at
torney, wishes to deny absolutely that the
insinuation that Captain Lees ''put the
screws on Franklin on account of his
connection with a lottery has any truth in
it, and in justice to Captain Lees wishes to
acknowledge that he himself and Mr..
Franklin admitted to Captain Lees that
his theory in regard to Millers imposture
was absolutely correct.

MISS @NANNIE's" WICKED ACTS.

1t would seem as if the desire for reforma-
ton has begun to pervade the goat family.
At least, it doubtless so occurs to the Rev.
Dr. Tubbs of Bethany Congregational
Church.
Just as the reverend gentleman was
about to invoke the divine blessing upon
the services to be held in his chnrch last
Sunday morning, and while the congrega-
ton stood with bowed heads ready to re-
ceive their pastor invocation, two mem
bers of the goat family, commonly CLASH
fled as 'billies," walked soberly up the
steps that lead to the church door, and
with dignihed mien, withal of an aspect
dem ure, marched sedately down the GEN.
trail aisle, to the chanceI.
Those goats didn't put on any airs at all.
If they had been able to speak they would
certainly have announced themselves as
goats and not as members of the caprid
family.
Even their knowledge of Clarke's Com
mentaries and Watson's apology" was
limited to such information as can be
acquired by diet of tin cans and leather n
footwear in the neighbors' back yards, but
those who used their eyes declare that
tAObc SOdto UCdAoo Ado OCOA ICouly
combed for the occasion and they ex-
pected to be we'll treated.
OF course, the Rev. DR.. Tubbs was not
unwilling TO give the church going "bil-
lies instruction in matters temporal, but
he preferred to do so where no troubl
could arise on account of a mixed congre-
CATION. So the seekers after reform lore
were gently but firmly led forth from the
house of God. Although they resented
the indignity and seemed to feel deeply
hurt at being denied the comforting
words of the gospel, they showed their re-
gard for the sacred edince and the day,
and departed without any threats of butt
ing the electors over on Monday.
Hardly had the sensation caused by the
two goats arrival died out and the Rev.
DR.. Tubbs begun his sermon VIXEN an
other member of the bearded tribe arrived.
This time it was solitary mamie"
Whether she came in search of biblical
instruction or the two gentlemen that had
preceded her is mooted question. Any
way, she made known her sense of loneli-
ness at finding herself unprotected among
strangers by a most pitifui moan, followed
by mout.ful out of hymnbook on q
nearby seat.
This evidently satisfied her rowing pro-
pensiiies, for as the ushers came Tor her to
lead her out into the green pastures she
showed her utter disregard for the sacred
character of the day and at the same time
a most rowdyish spirit by turning and
running at full speed from the building.
Latest accounts have it that Rev. DIR.

before TO ask her if she would like a
broiIed chicken. He knocked, but OBJ
tanned no answer. After Mr.. Leahy came
down we, thinking something was wrong,
entered the room and found her lying on
the floor, dead. She had evidently died
suddenly in the night"
She was one of the best known opera
singers in the country. She went to Reno
with her mother and from there went
to Boston to be educated. Her voice at
tracted so much attention that Mr..
Barnabee of the Boston1an Opera Com
pany engaged her the first time he heard
her. She made decided hit in that COM
pany at once.
She was with the Bostonians for about
three years.
Owing to the limited repertoire of that
company she concluded she would have
to strike out for new fields. She accor-
dinghy went with the Lillian Russell Com
pany and remained with it for two
seasons.
This summer season she took an engage
ment with T. Henry French at the Am eri-
can Theater, and her success was pro-
nounced in repertoire work. She played in
the great production of Patience at the
Herald-square Theater, with Lillian Rus
sell, Harry Dixie. Joseph Sheehan and
other celebrated artists. She was selected
to plav the part of Lady Jane, and took
New York by storm.
When the manager of the Tivoli arrived
in New York she had about made up her
mind to sign contract with George E.
Lederer, manager of the Casino Theater.
There was, however. some disagreement
over railroad fares, SO she concluded to
study at the Tivoli. She thought this
would be of great advantage to her. there
fore she accepted.
She wired her folks to meet her at Reno.
They all met her there and visited with
her only five minutes. this being the first
time they had seen her since she had left
for the East.
She arrived here Friday morning and
began her rehearsals with her teacher,
Professor Cruells, to give her the tempos.

ONLY PARTIALLY INSURED

The well-known four-masted schooner
Olga is probably total loss in the Amoor
River. Captain Charles Nelson, the man.
aging owner, has received word that the
vessel has been ashore for two weeks and
that the chances of getting her off are
very slight.
The Olga left here several weeks ago
under charter to Hawley Bros Hardware
Company. This firm has been supplying
much iron and other ware to the Trans
Siberian Railway and its mines. After
discharging her freight the Olga was on
her way from Nicolaefski, Siberia, for
Kobe, Japan, to load tea for San Fran
cisco when she went on the mud fats and
stuck hard and fast.
The Olga is one of the feet of coasting
vessels that has made name for California
shipbuilders. She is one of the first YES
sells turned out by Captain Matthews from
his Eureka shipbuilding yards and has
always been considered one of the smartest
schooners afoat. The Olga was 164 feet
long, 36 feet beam and IL feet Deep Her
loss is partially covered by insurance.

four crews on the big steamer and dis
pense with the tug. Should no whale be
caught during the trip schooner will be

weeks provisions aboard, and the whalers
will be transferred to her and the hunt

TALKS ABOUT SUFFRAGE,
Parlor Meetings or Informal
Conversations Are in
High Favor.
Miss Anthony and Mss Hay Address
Large Gathering at the
Hotel Wenban.

A new feature in the woman suffrage
work which has not yet received public
notice, and which has none the less proved
signally successful, is the series of informal
parlor meetings recently inaugurated.
There is something about these homelike
gatherings which seems very attractive to
the participants. No objectionable pei
sons can be present, as the guests are all
specially invited, and the prestige given
the movement by means of this social
apostolate in high circles is incalculable.
Night before last one of these parlor
meetings took place at the Hotel Wen
ban. The attendance was large and ap-
preciative, and nearly filled the billiard
room, which had been magnificently deco
GRATED for the event.
Mrs. Blitz made most charming host
ess, seeing that all her guests were thor
oughly at home before the speech-making
commenced. Miss Anthony made an inn
promptu address on the cause to which
she has devoted over half century of her
life. The talk was interrupted by Ques-
tions and comments. being, in fact, a con-
versation in which the gifted veteran
suffragist took the lead. Miss Hay also
spoke on the subject in her usual convinc-
ing style, her spirited replies to questions
calling forth many burst of applause.
What pity, though" exclaimed Miss
Anthony, casting her glance over the
friendly faces which surrounded her,
you are all suffragists, or at least not
anti-suffragists. What 1 want is a gather
ing of honest enemies in order to show
them the fallacy of their position"
