GOING HOME TO MOTHER
Miss Overman Finds 1t Impossible to
Get Work
The Rev. DR.. Brown Has Not Assisted Her
"But He Has His Con.
science With Him.

OAKLAND, June 27.-Mattie Overman
and Mrs. Tunnel arrived in Oakland
yesterday and went into seclusion at the
Victoria hotel on the corner of Seventh
and Clay streets They have been max
ing quiet visits to San Francisco for the
purpose, as they claim, to arrange a few
business matters. Miss Overman will
remain here few days and then she will
part company with Mrs. Tunnel and re-
turn to the home of her mother in Ia
coma. They had intended to spend a
few days at the home of their friend
Mrs. Charles Eaton of East Oakland,
but that lady decided not to receive
them as guests.
81 am weary of having doors closed
against me- said Matte Overman
There is only one place for me to go
now and that is to my mother in Tacoma
where I know a warm welcome awaits
me. She will not close her door against
her daughter, l am sure. AS for Dr.
Brown, 1 simply leave him to his con-
science. Since I left his home he has not
assisted me ina ny way nor have
heard from him. He has no welcomee for
me and like the rest I guess he looks
upon me as an outcast. Although am
near his home, he fails to extend any in
vitation to me to visit his family.
81 never knew what it was to be con-
sidered a social outcast until recently.
The women of this state seem to be
against me, and whenever they hear my
name mentioned they at once close the
doors against me.
1T seems to me that every way where
in l could make a living is closed against
me. l cannoa secure employment and
still l must work for a living because
1 am nearly out of funds. Have not
a right to be granted at least the privil-
eye of making an honest living? But
there is no use crying now. l am abso-
lutely forced to leave the state and DR..
Brown is silent. However, he has his
conscience with him.

have opened vigorous campaign and

ment of a thousand machines, offers to
supply anything required within foru-

| BERLIN, June 27.-(Copyright, 1896 }
According to the directions left at the
court marshars office, the emperor will
remain away for his midsummer vaca-
| ton until August Is.
In Christiana about July Is, his maj
| esty will meet King Oscar and the men,
bers of the Swedish royal family. EN-
peror Williams travelling suite is much
larger than in former years, but no
prominent people will accompany him
except his usual companions on these
trips.
During the long cruise along the coast
of Norway the emperor will devote his
time, apart from current business, to
the study of the currency question. He
is taking with him an extensive library
bearing upon the subject, including 100
English books and pamphlets, in addi-
ton to a large number of German,
French and Italian works.
Directions have also been left with the
chief of the royal library of Berlin to
forward his majesty any new books,
magazines or papers bearing upon the
subject, and they will be sent so as to
meet the emperor at various points as
he will touch at.
Baron Won Kiderlin Wachter. the Ger
man minister to Copenhagen. and corps
of foreign office employees. has been de-
tailed to make extractions from the
writings on the currency question and
submit them to the emperor with re-
marks and comparative glossary.
In official circles it is expected that an
attempt will be made by Germany in the
autumn to arrive at an international
understanding on the currency question.
The preparatory work in anticipation of
this course will be done during the sum-
mer by high official of the foreign Of
flee.
The currency issue in the United States
as political factor is engaging the at
tention of the emperor. He has been
much interested in articles upon this
subject that have appeared in American
magazines.
Everything has been quiet politically
since the emperor's departure.
Before his departure from Berlin Dr.
Fritz Friedman, Won Kot's former law
yer, and who was recently acquitted of
the charge of embezzlement after hav-
ing been extradited from Bordeaux, told
a representative of the Associated Press
that he was considering several offers,
particularly one of a partnership with
a well-known German lawyer at Balti-
more. Friedman will probably start for
New York next week. Arrangements
are being made for the simultaneous
publication of his book on the German
court in German. French, English and
Italian.
Emperor William has inspected at
kiel, and has highly approved of a new
type of ironclad invented by Naval Of
ficers Diedrichsen and Horsfeldt His
majesty gave an audience to the in
ventors on board the imperial yacht.
