MISS HAAKE INDICATED.
The Post-Street Milliner Returns
to the City and Faces
Her AccuserS.
The Young Ladies of Her Class Deny
That They Were Cheated Out
of Their Money.

Miss Alice Haake, the milliner, whose
place of business was at 121 Post street,
and who was reported as having myste-
riously disappeared, has returned.
At the time this young lady left San
Francisco, it was rumored that she had
absconded, taking with her money of sew
eral ladies, who had paid her to impart to
them the mysteries OF the millinery art.
This allegation Miss Haake refuted, by
inviting the young ladies of her class to
her residence at IA Chattanooga street, yes
terday afternoon, to give their versions of
the treatment, as also the instructions i'm
parted to them. The following-named
young ladies were present: Miss Jane
Aiken. Miss Ada Fulton, Miss Anna Sut-
ton, Miss Mabel Mcdonald, Miss Elinor
Matthai, Miss Carrie Wyckoff and Miss
Bernice Lark. Those seven young Misses,
with three others, Miss Anna Napthaly
Miss Amy Seton and Miss Jessie Hunt,
who we're not present, represented all the
entire class employed by Miss Haake at
the time OF her departure from this City to
Nevada.
Those present all stated that they had
not been defrauded by Miss Haake out of
their money, but on the contrary were
well pleased with their treatment and the
instructions given them. Miss Lark, a
pretty little blonde. had only been with
the milliner one month and in conse-
quence of not having secured suitable
place to continue her studies felt as if she
had not got the value of her $40. Other
wise she had no fault to find with Miss
Haake.
In explanation of her sudden disappear.
ance from this City Miss Haake stated that
she simply went to Navada to sell an over
stock of goods and that she had no desire
to desert her class or business, but would
continue as before to make an honest liv-
ing for herself i'll San Francisco, where she
was born and educated.

Have Been Detained Here Four
Days by the Charterer

CROWDED AND OVERLOADED
The Inspectors Stepped In Yesterday
and Refused to Allow the
Vessel to Clear.

There was almost riot on Mission street
wharf yesterday morning. The steam
schooner Albion was to have sailed for
Turnagain Arm, Alaska, with about 100
miners, five families and about twenty
head of cattle. When Inspectors of Hulls
and Boilers Talbot and Phillips appeared

that the cattle could not be shipped and
that only eighty-four passengers would be

FRIDAY NIGHT CLUB.
Dancing Functions of the Season Ter
inmate With an Assembly at
Odd Fellows Hall.

inmate Win dh Assembly at
Odd Fellows Hall.
The assembly of the Friday Night Club
at Odd Fellows Hall last evening was the
last of the dancing events of the season.
In the estimation of society leaders there
is quite difference in Importance be-
tween a cotillon and an assembly. The
latter may be enjoyable, animated, full OF
proper life and decorous pleasure, and
even brilliant as function, but still it is
supposed to lack some indefinable quality
of excellence that stamps the cotillon with
a seal of exclusive splendor.
Assuming that last nights assembly
would not assemble more than 200 of the
flower of San Francisco society, Mr.
Greenway directed that the banquet table
should be spread for only 225, and the
caterer provided for that number.
The decorations of the banquet hall. not
over-profuse, were beautiful indeed, and
symbolical of spring. The professional
decorator achieved quite triumph in
light and airy festoonlng.
The stage in front was banked with
plants, ferns, interspersed with roses and
FLIES. Beyond the column of plants and
flowers the orchestra of twenty pieces dis
coursed lovely music. The music of an
assembly differs in some degree from the
music of cotillon. In quantity the latter
follows an arbitrary and fixed rule of num-
bers. On the programme so many num-
bers are indicated, and it would be out OF
form to vary from the established chart.

OF wind caused him to lose his balance.
His body took backward turn and when
he landed on the ground beneath it was In
a horizontal position. That saved his bones
if not his life.
His back was severely sprained and will
cause him to keep his couch for some
time, but he escaped all other injury.
DIR. Helme, who attended the injured
man at the Receiving Hospital, said was
one case in thousand. If Lareson had
struck the ground in any other position he
would have been seriously, if not fatally
injured.

Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, in her
story of The Guard" body of young
men who followed 1.-THE Pathfinder
into the civil war and made brilliant
record for their courage and gallantry,
tells pathetic story of a dumb beast
who also was loyal and courageous:
While the guard body of cavalry
was drilling one day near St. Louis,
little fox-terrier followed one of the
men, Herr Visa, Hungarian officer,
going with him to camp. He could not
be driven away.
The men all made a pet of him. and
named him 1.-THE corporal;" but though
he was affable to them all. he made the
Hungarian soldier his companion and
friend, sleeping at his feet at night,
and following him by day.
When the guard made their memoir
able charge at Springfield, Mo-. the
Corporal charged with them, keeping
beside his masters horse throughout
the battle. Herr Visa was wounded,
and fell, apparently dead, in a thicket.

wild with terror, but the little Corporal
nestled close beside him, licking his
face and trying to rouse him.
There the dog remained through the
bitter cold night. When morning came
he ran to the distant road, and by his
frantic banks and cries induced a pass
er-by to enter the thicket.
The man, seeing only cold, stiff
body, supposed the soldier to be dead,
and would have hurried on; but the
Corporal furiously drove him back, and
would not be silenced until he saw his
master move and speak. when he
crouched, dumb and contented, at his
feet.

FAITH AND WORKS.

The Insuficiency Of Figure Very Free
quently Used.
Faith and works are not two things,
hut one. They are not coordinate and
cooperative forces, but are as cause and
effect; the one evidences what the other
suggests. 4 defective figure that is fre-
quently used to illustrate their relation
is that Of a man rowing in a boat 1t
is said that he needs two oars, faith and
works; one is not sufficient. Ii he would
make progress against the stream or
the tide, instead Of going round and
round while drifting, he must pull an
car on each side of the boat. The in
suffciency of this figure was shown by
the experienced boy, who, when his
teacher asked him how he would propel
his boat in the stream if he had but one
car, answered.: I'D scull with the oar
at the stern" Faith and works are one
oar in efficient use. An oar that is not
used is neither faith nor works; that
same oar used effectively is faith shown
in works. There is, after all, no better
illustration than that used by ST.
James-faith is the spirit or breath, and
works is the body. Faith, if it have not
works, is dead in itself As the body
apart from the spirit is dead, even so
faith apart from works is dead A
faith that does not evidence itself in
works is not faiths. s. Times.

One day, states the Detroit Free
Press, a farmer. who lived for years in
peace and quietness and was we'll
spoken of by all who knew him, found
a pot of gold as he was digging in a
field. In great rejoicing he carried the
treasure to his house and told his wife
the news, and in day his good luck
was known TO 100 people. His wife
promptly decided to buy piano and
have a new house. and when the old
man didn't think much of this scheme
she upbraided him for his selfishness.
and went about in the sulks. His three
sons suddenly decided that they would
blossom out as Jim-dandies and work
no more, and his two daughters howell
for diamonds and silks. A deacon
called and wanted him to give $500 to
the African heather; he was asked to
establish a foundlings' home; his
mother-in-law demanded brick housa
and new carpets and his ten sisters ard
brothers arrived and wanted the spon-
dulix to make trip to Europe. Neigh
bors who had loved him now referred
to him as a stingy old varmint. ard
men who had asked him to be a candi-
date for town supervisor sent him word
that they'd snow him under if ever he
ran for Office. In fortnight lie found
himself without friends and mixed UP
in a score of broils, and. taking the
gold to the river, he dumped it in ard
exclaimed:
