several committees met, certain uf them
for the last time, since they have ac-
cumuIated enough reports to keep the
conference busy for the rest Of the
month. The bishops met in the after
moor and talked about the selection Of
their residences, but did not reach any
conclusion. Ia the evening, a meeting
in the interests Of d%eaconesses' work was
held and a number of deaconcs5es were
consecrated.

right to the property involved.
The injunction of the court is still in
full force and effect Lloyd, under the
order OF the court appointing him as
assignee, was directed to sell portions of
the property of the bankrupt Bensley, but
he was unable to secure a purchaser, as
Julia Ball and a dozen heirs had begun
two suits as heirs OF Mrs. BensIey to re-
cover the property of her estate. This
property consists of over 100 lots and
blocks In this City and several hundred
acres of land in and around San Diego.
The assignee Lloyd asked for a perma-
nent injunction against the alleged heirs
OF Mrs. Bensley, prohibiting them from
further interference with the assignee and
an order com manding them to dismiss the
actions already brought
In his decree Judge Morrow held that
Mr.. Lloyd as assignee is owner in fee SIM
pie OF all the lands described also that
the defendants be and are forever re-
strained and enjoined from ever asserting
or setting up claim TO any of the estate or
right or title to the land described; that
that they are forever en- njoined from prose

ENDEAV0RERS PLEASED.
General Secretary Baer Saws This Is an
Ideal Convention City.


Ideal Convention City.
John Willis Baer, general secretary of
the United Society of Christian En-
deavor, who is in the City to consult with
the '97 committee about the preliminary
arrangements for the great Christian En-
deavor Convention, spent the entire morn
ing and most of the afternoon in driving
round the City with Rolla V. Watt (the
energetic chairman of the committeel, DIR.
+. E. Kelly and j. s. Webster, with the
purpose of seeing the meeting places
which the committee has provided for the
sessions OF the convention. Mr.. Baer was
much pleased with the appearance of
the City, and expressed the opinion that
San Francisco is an ideal convention city.
The mem bers OF the '97 committee met
Mr.. Baer at 5 O'Clock last evening for
final conference before his leaving the
City.
Mr.. Baer said that be had been agreea-
bly, surprised during his tour OF inspection
yesterday at the capacity and general
availability of the Mechanics and Wood
ward ) pavilions. He gave it as his opin-
ion that the two buildings could be fitted
up at very slight cost to hold 10000 or IT.
600 people, and yet give all good chance
to hear. With the exception of Boston
and st. Louis, he said that no city had
been able to furnish better hall accommo-

days in the week. there is paper called the
Oregonian known for its bitterness and its
bigotry, and it slandered California.
A local paper took the matter up where the
Oregonlan left off which is a beautiful ex-
ample in these latter days OF Satan king
all the way down from Governor Budd to Dr.
Ollie. The Oregonian reflected on California
honor and California women. From this same
platform were uttered similar things some
months ago and this same paper and other
papers published them and there was not a
word of rebuke from our papers.
This particular paper Went out to the world
saving on one page that the Oregonian had
illuminated the State, and on its other that
we are community OF "deps, dives and
drunkards" which was said in a sermon by
Rev. w. w. Case.
1t is very easy TO give O city and State a
bad name, and it is very hard to live ii down.
We should be jealous OF the lair name OF our
city. When a man sullies the fair name of our
city, be he priest parson, he should be
made 10 show it or shut up We must make
these people back up their statements, or
there should be such an expression OF pu bile
indignation as shall make them keep silence
because they cannot keep decency.
But best of all is to have outside people come
climate. That is what the carnival Will bring.
We believe this State can sustain twenty
times its present population. What we want
is for the people to come and see this State
and not be deceived by lying pulpits and
pamp mphleteers.
We believe that this City can become what
the roet said OF her, .'the warder OF two conti-
nents" We believe that future generations
will find that We in San Francisco have been
true to our ideals, true to her trust as the
warder OF two continents, and that she is the
mistress of the sea which stretches before her.

when she desired to undertake them at
the Alcezar the associates of Mr.. Doane
demurred. Miss Lee is clever actress,
they said, but time brings changes in other
qualifications for a spirited and suppl e
part.
the co-partners said nothing derogatory
to Miss Lees talent. but if the truth must
be told it was her avoirdupois on which
the objection hung. They contended that
Miss Lee was not supple enough-for in
stance, to take the part of Kate in ''The
Ugly Duckling''-brt Miss Lee and Mr..
Doane contended that she could act as
girly as Miss May Buckley or any other
fair actress of more or less avoirdupois.
The contention resulted in Miss Buck
ley appearing as the Ugly @Duckling,
which she did with much success, and in
Miss Amy Lee not appearing at all.

Four Me1Odramas Are All drawing
WelI-Light Opera and Vaudeville
Complete the Attractions.
Melodra ma is having things pretty much
its own way at the theaters this week.
The Baldwin, the Tivoli and the Orpheum
are the only houses not given up to that
particular form of diversion.
"Fleur de Lis'' at the Baldwin is giving
more satisfaction than did its twin sis.
ter, 1.-THE Little Trooper" The music,
which reminds one.of Offenbach consider
ably diluted, is catchy, and the plot is
more ingenious than that of the operetta
in which Miss Della Fox showed herself
last week. Some Of the dialogue would
bear cutting, for it is nearly half-past IL
before the curtain falls on the last act.
Next week Nat Goodwin and his company
will present new play, 1.-The American
Citizen" at the Baldwin.
The stirring melodrama, Humanity, -
in which Joseph Grismer and Phoebe
Davies are featured, is drawing satisfac-
torily at the Columbia No doubt the
production would have aroused more no.
tice if there had not been such aplethora
of melodramas this week.
"a Ring of Iron" is holding its own at
the Grand. The play is by no means new
here, but Manager Morosco has an excep-
tionally good company just at present,
which is able to make the most of Frank
Harvey's work. Miss Williams and Ed
ward j. Heron look well after the comedy
part of the performance.
darkest Russia" has four more nights
and Saturday matinee at the California
n Il T4s4 E,,lI
open her engagement. She will also ap-
pear on Tuesday and Wednesday and at
Wednesday matinee.
The AIcazar is giving its audiences more
than their moneys worth Of excitement
in the melodrama, CAT Fort Bliss" One
of the most startling scenes is duel in
which the wicked colonel takes first the
hero and then the heroine, "One down,
the next come on" The play is very
satisfactorily acted by the stock company
and the scenic effects are all good.
An exceptionally good performance OF
Donna Juanita" is being given at the
Tivoll. Elyira Crcx Seabrooke makes a
dashing cadet. and Lilly Post sings and
acts well as Petrita. A feature of the pro-
duction is the well-sung choruses, and the
children's chorus in the LAST act is a pretty
piece of work.
A. H. Knoll and Marie Mcneil, the
cornet duetists and soloists, are the fea-
lures of the Orpheum's bill this week.
The sketch done by Lewis and Elliott has
caught on fairly well, and Burt Shepherd
has added a number of new gags to his
monologue since he opened at the begin
ming of the week.
Mrs. Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler will give
her fifth recital this evening in Metro

required to plank down the price and
rush for the auditorium became trifie
strained.
There was continuous disagreement
between the MANAGEMENT as 10 what
parts in the drama Miss Lee should por-
tray TO a delighted audience and what she
might not be ntted to essay.
The relations lately have been rather
strained, and it is said that Miss Lee
would not make UP on the same side of
the house or appear in the same act with
Miss Buckley.
This week things were terminated. Mr..
Doane and Miss Lee are no longer inter-
ested in the Alcazar. His interest was
purchased by the other partners. Messrs.
J. B. Jordan, Fred Belasco and Harry La
Faille, and Miss May Buckley, who car
ried off the honors in "The Ugly Duck
ling" and since then in other ingenue
parts, is now the leading lady of the Alca-
Ear in ingenue parts. Her brliiancy is
not dimmed nor threatened by any 9th T
star in the orbit.

United States District Court Judge Nor

decree in the well-known case OF Lloyd
against Julia Ball and others. Lloyd is

tate, leaving large and valuable estate,
which consisted principally or reai estate
in several parts of the State.
Prior to his death Bensley and ms wite,
Marion. and other persons consplred TO
defraud his and the firms creditors ana
did so by transferring large amounts OF
realty to fictitious persons. MRS. behsley
arranged that she should have fuII
mower of attorney of these fictitious pur-
chasers. which apparently vested IN her
all of the rights to handle and dlspose OF
the property. After Bensley's death the
widow. while on her way to TINS coast,
died on the train, and IN her trunk were
found many letters exposing the plot ana
conspiracy in its fullness.
Public Administrators j. Y. fennle took
charge of The dead woman's estate, ana he
was sued by Mr. Lloyd for the restoration
of the Bensiey estate, withheld previously
from the assignee and creditors. Inc ac-
