Manager, Whose Death in Destitute
Circumstances in New York WasRe.

From photograph taken in 1851

Theater. 1t was on Kearny street, near
Washington, on what is now the middle
lot of the old City Hall site. On the
Washing gton and Kearny street corner was
the famous Ell Dorado, and on the Mer-
chant street corner adjoining the Jenny
Lind was the Union Hotel. The ground
covered by the three buildings was subse-
quently sold by Mcguire to the City and
the City Hall erected thereon.
The enterprising manager purchased the
San francisco Hotel on the north side of
Washington street, between Kearny and
Montgomery. He tore down that build
ing, and in 1854 erected on the same site
Magure's Opera-house. In that house
many OF the greatest actors that the world
has produced were presented for the first
time to the playgoers of San Francisco.
Mcguire secured for his theater the best
talent available. and success seemed to
smile on his ventures.
In 1862 he built the Academy of Music
on Pine street, and then his misfortunes
began. The venture broke him and he
never rallied again to maintain success for
prolonged period. He leased the Eureka
Theater On Montgomery street, between
Pine and California, but the business there
was not profitable. Mr.. Maguire's last
active work in this City was performed as
manager of the Baldwin Academy of
Music, now the Baldwin Theater In 1875
Mr.. Baldwin built the house and In 1876
the theater was opened under the manage
ment of Tom Mcguire. In 1878 or 1879
Mcguire went East and resided there until
his death.
Old timers who knew Mcguire we'll
assert that much of his prosperity achieved
at the Mcguire Opera-house on Washing
ton street was due to the excellent business
qualities of his first wife, whose maiden
name was Douglass

RICH MINES IN CHINA,
A Local Chinese Millionaire Is
Soon to Help Develop
Them.
Several Hundred Thousand Dollars
Worth of Machinery to Be
Shipped.

Lee Wee, one of the leading wholesale
merchants and importers of the Chinese
district, has gone into mining. He has
been IN San Francisco since 1852, most of
the time merchant.
Within the past few years he determined
to be miner of Chinese gold and silver,
and within the next two or three months
half a million dollars worth of machinery
will oe shipped to the empire from this
City.
1t is well known to students of history
that the superstition of the people has
retarded, if not absolutely prevented, the
opening and development of gold, silver,
copper and other mines in China. If the
body of long g-ago-departed Celestial is
known to repose in a hillside, the miner
must be intrepid to bury so much as the
point of his pick in that precious SOIL
Lee Wee knows this as well as anybody,
and in speaking of the superstition of his
countrymen yesterday, said: 'It's all fool
ishness. I'm as good Ch1naman as any
of them, but don't believe in any of that
stuff. [ live too long in the United States''
LeeW is too shrewd to embark in a
wildcat scheme or to invest his thousands
in an enterprise for the development of
mines unless he knows that he can get at
those mines despite the prevailing super
stitions. His agents are in communica.
ton with the Emperor, and Lee Wee did
not come to definite conclusion until he
was officially assured that his EXPENSIVE
machinery and operations would be pro-
tected.
Lee Wee, though an officer in the Ming
4ung Company, one of the largest Chi
nese organizations in the United States, is
very much American in his ideas. He
educated three of his relatives, Nep Yune,
Yung Kin Song and Tou Chong, at the
university, and also procured a special
instructor for them in mineraIogy, mining
and civil engineering. Two of the sons
are now in China, and the third one re-
Gently returned with large collection of
ore specimens. Some of the ore from the
province of Quong Soy, near Canton, is
very rich, assaying as high as $500 ton.

Although little Laura Fusch is con-
scientiously doing Ter duty as a domestic
in an East Oakland family, and although
Rev. DR.. Hobart and Mrs. Eddy of the
First Baptist Church have pronounced the
cruel calumny as being viciously false, the
local agent OF the Chilren's Society is still
searching for the girl.
"Dr. Hobart and myself went out to the
place where Laura is engaged this after
noon. )" said Mrs. M. ]. Eddy tonight. 'and
we found that she went there within a
couple of hours of leaving the place where
she was employed in the dining-room.
The story of the young lady as published
in yesterdays. CALL is true in every
particular. The story first published
was cruel wrong, and to repeat it
without any investigation is heartless
Mrs. Prescott's conduct is beyond my
comprehension. She is in office for the
purpose of preventing cruelty to children,
and in this case she is actually causing
cruelty. If she had come to us we could
have willingly told her the TRUTH
Miss Laura Fusch was seen to-day and
said she had never spoken to any reporter
except a CALL man. tThe story pub
lished in to-day's Chronicle is a very cruel
one." she said. ''No one came to see me,
ter to find me. 1t says | went back to the
hotel few days after the elopement' it
talks about and said that the partner
ship | made with the two men was not
satisfactory and l had broken it off, 1
took everything belonging to NE from the
hotel when | came to this house, and l
have never been back there since and
have not seen any one connected with the
hotel"
The situation in regard to Laura Fusch
would be ludlcrous did it not cause pain
and anguish to an innocent little sufferer
She was visited to-day by the Rev. DIR.
Hobart and Mrs. Eddy, and yet the agent
says the society is making strenuous
efforts" to rescue" her. All her ac-
quaintances at the church sympathize
with her, and are doing their best to set
matters right. Members of the church
who have investigated the matter declare
that 'the story of the elopement with the
bibulous cook and porter have been told
by the proprietor of the Hotel Wilson out
OF spite, because the girl left without Civ
ing notice"
Laura is but child, Is years of age, and
the influential First Baptist Church is
determined that her good name shall be
preserved.
Mrs. Prescott said tonight that the IN
terview attributed to her in to-day's papers
is false. She says she is only trying to get
the facts in the case, and up to the present
time she has only succeeded in hearing
the side of the story told by the girls late
employers.

MRS. COOPER CONFESSES
She Tells a Berkeley Audience
Why She Is a Woman
SuffragiSt.
DR.. Wendte Sympathizer-A Stu.
dent Unmercifully Beaten-Mr.
Morford's Death.

BERKELEY, CAL, Jan. 21.-Mrs. Sarah
B. Cooper told a large audience at the
Congregational Church OF Berkeley to-
night how she came to be woman suf
fragist. Prior to her remarks Rev. DIR.
Wendte Of Oakland gave a brief address
in which he referred to the few privileges
which women were allowed to enjoy only
short time ago, what change for the
better in their behalf has taken place in the
last decade, and what greater things for
them are yet to come.
81 am woman suffragist.n said he. s'be
cause was born one, because it was bred
into my very bones. / would be glad to
see many men to-day driven out Of posi-
tions which they hold to give way for
women who are far more ompetent to fill
them. l hope to see the time said DR..
Wendte, when women will be professors
in the University of California. There
are many women in the country to-day
whom | dare say are well able to fill such
positions with the greatest of credit. Any
influence which will tend to broaden the
sphere of woman surely will tend to better
the community"
Mrs. Sargent, president of the State Suf-
frage Society," interposed a few remarks.
She entered strong plea for the passage
of the amendment to the State constitu-
ton striking out the word emale.''
Mrs. Cooper followed in her character
istic forcible manner OF address. She said
that in asking for the privilege of voting
woman is not seeking charity, but Justice.
THE logic of experience for the, past
seven teen years" said Mrs. Cooper,
