stock, Siberia, and despite the fact that he
has been in San Francisco for nearly five
years can sneak little English. His attor-
ney. NJ. II. Wascerwitz, tells his story for
him.
1t seems that in 1898 German was
possessed OF $500. He met the woman
who is now his wife and saws that she
pined for the six hundred simoleons he
owned. Seeing no better way to get it the
lady OF many usbands wooed, won and
married him. Then. be says. she borrowed
the money from him, tnrned him out of
doors and when he returned and de-
manded his trunk, had him arrested for
battery.
German was subsequently released and
brought suit for the $500 for which he OBJ
tanned judgment. Then he sued for
divorce yesterday. The case was before
Judge Daingerield on a motion to have
an order TO pay the wife counsel fees and
alimony pending trial rescindeo. German
testified that he works only about three
months per year as furrier and that he
has had no money for months and cannot
obey the courts order.
The arguments as to what can be done
in the case will be submitted on briefs.

4 NEW FREE CLINIC.
Poor Patients to Be Treated at
st. Joseph's Hos.
pital.
Sisters in Charge Will Furnish Medi.
cines, Bandages, ETC., Free to
the Indigent.

To further enlarge the scope of St.
Joseph's Hospital, on Buena Vista ave-
nue., it has been decided to add free
clinic, to be open to the poor Oh Saturdays
alto A. NJ. The purpose OF this clinic is to
give the poor chance to consult reput-
able and experienced physicians free of
charge.
The clinic will at first be held at the
hospital at the time designated. Further
facilities will be added from time to time,
as its needs may require. The sisters 10
charge will furnish medicines, bandages
and all that is needed, at cost price to
those able to pay it, and free 10 the indi-
gent.
st. Joseph's Hospital is perhaps less
known than other similar institute ons, as
its management has always done its char
ity in quiet but effective way. 1t is in
charge of the franciscan Sisters of
Charity.
1t was established some eight years ago
to carry out bequest OF a wealthy lady,
who had been an invalid during the last
years of her life and who had wished to
benefit others by the abundant means at
her disposal. The sisters enlarged upon
the original idea and took in the acutelv
i'll as well as the chronic sufferers, and
slowly but surely they have established a
charitable hospital second to none in the
City.
The hospital has now some 120 patients,
over half OF whom are Charity patients.
Twenty-Five sisters have charge, and are
themselves governed by a superioress.
The entire work of the hospital-nursing,
housekeeping and all the manual works
done by the sisters. They manage the
place the best they can, subsisting on
charity, and are always ready TO give their
half loaf to the needy.
There are several physicians connected
with the hospital. DIR. Eichler, VINO has
Just returned from trip abroad, has for
years been the physician in charge. nr.
de, ,Necchi has been the consulting surgeon
since the sisters took charge. The present
staff consists of Dr. Eichler, DR.. de Vecchi,
DIR. Gale, Dr. Mas and DIR. Sartori as
pathologist. They will treat the poor at
the free Clinics.

A. NJ. Pierson of 172o Central avenue,
the superintendent of Laurel Hill Gene
terry, was next called. He was handed the
purse exhibited at the morning session
and identified it as similar to the one he
had seen IN Winthrop's possession for a
long time, and he had never seen him
carry different one.
Henry German, employed at Laurel
Hill Cemetery, stated that he had known
Winthrop for seven or eight years. He
said Winthrop generally carried his purse
in his hip pocket, and used TO lend him q
dollar or two at times.
Barnes-You are able to swear that the
purse is only, similar?
'.Yes, sir. /"
''Did you not hear Winthrop testify this
morning that he carried it in his hip
pocket?"
After some hesitation the witness an
swered that he had.
John Tyrrell, who tends the water works
| in Laurel Hill Cemetery and has known
Winthrop for about six years. testified
| that the purse was similar to Winthrop's, s,
and that he had also seen the defendant
carry money loose in his pocket.
Harvey Burdell of 311 Golden Gate ave-
nue. was then called to the stand. He tes-
titled TO knowing Winthrop for the last
year. but not intimately. He was asked
ii he saw him Wednesday evening, Au-
| gust s. but an objection from Bell pre-.
vented an answer, and the witness was
dismissed.
Bell then stated that two important wit.
| nesses were absent, and asked that the
case be continued till Monday morning.

the case to end as soon as possible.
The objection was sustained and d. A

At one time a lively tiff arose between

allowed to proceed, but he finally left tn
chair.
The last and most comical witnes
called during the day was Alexande
Duncan.

vation Army and there will be great DEM
onstrations here in his honor.
The commissioner is considered to be
one of the representative men of the
army, which he joined as long ago as
1878. At that time he was prosperous
biscuit manufacturer at Reading, town
not very far from London. Mr.. Higgins
was a temperance advocate, but he looked
with distrust upon the army, the men,
bers of which he considered to have a
great deal more zeal than discretion.
One day, to his surprise, q member of
the army asked him to use his influence
to obtain a permanent hall, in Reading
itself, for the Salvation Army. Mr.. Hig-
gins was almost paralyZed by the audaciIy
of the request, and he replied that he
would not use his influence toward getting
a single brick, much less hall.
The future commissioner was interested
however, IN such sublime audacity, and
he attended an army meeting to see what
the thing was like. That sealed his tate.
for he was converted straightway, and at
General Booths request gave up manufac-
turing biscuits, 10 devote himself to
getting recruits for the Gross of Blood and
Fire.
For while the new recruit was plain
''Mr. Higgins" but after two years of gen.
system to General Booth for raising funds
among army people. The plan was at
once adopted experimentally and was
found to work SO we'll that after four years
of it Mr.. Higgins was appointed financial
secretary at International headquarters, a
position which he held till 1894.
At the breaking up OF the Interna tional
Jubilee Congress, Commissioners Higgins
was made special representative to any
part of the world where it might be
thought that his experience might be
useful. His first journey was to South
Africa, where he took special delight in
seeing the way Zulus were focking into
the fold.
The brother of the terrible Cetewayo.
the late Zulu King, came to visit him, and
the com missioner had the pleasure of inn
parting his first inkling Of Christianity to
the great chief.
One of the parts of the world in which
the commissioner has given agreatimpetus
to army work is Demarara. He syore in
100 recruits recently at Georgetown, and
he said afterward that he believed every
shade of color known TO the human race
was represented in the serried ranks of
those recruits.
In the West Indies Commissioner Hip-
gins has done a great deal of work among
the people of African descent, and he has
been instrumental in inducing General
Booth to form West Indian territory as
soon Is the officers and money can be
found to open up other islands in the Carib-
bean Sea.
The Argentina and Uruguay have been
fields where Commissioner Higgins has
extended the borders of the Salvation
Army, and he has strongly recommended
the opening OF Chile. It is believed that
his coming TO the United States is due to
Consul Emma Booth Tucker.

Captain Lees was able to state that Nor

near Sacramento while attempting to rob
the overland express, was an old hand at

The typewriter which Morgan had left
at his City headquarters on East street,
near Market, was positively identified as

FOX AND NAPOLEON.
The English Statesman Fascinated by the
EIrgt Consul.

The English Statesman Fascinated by the
First Consul.
During the summer of 1902 Fox Jour-
neyed to Paris, where he was pre-
sented to Bonaparte early in Septem-
ber. The English statesman was
fascinated, and although the first con-
sui said nothing definite or precise,
his visitor departed convinced that his
host desired nothing but peace with a
liberal policy, both domestic and for
eign, as far as was consistent with
safety. But the attacks of the Eng
lish press became none the less viru-
lent in consequence of Fox's favorable
report. or of his brilliant defense of
France from his place in parliament.
Toward the close of January Talley-
rand demonstrated with Whitworth,
this time giving point to his remon-
STRANGE by plump demand as to what
England intended to do about Malta.
Whitworth replied that he was with
out instructions, and made an evasive
answer, limiting that the kings opin-
ion of the changes which had taken
place in Europe since the treaty might
be of Importance in determining him
as to the disposal Of the island. This
was the first intimation that England
did not intend to keep her promise
A few days later Sebastiani returned
from the east, and on January 30, 1903,
the Moniteur published his thorough
and careful report. 1t was long doc
ument, fully explaining every source
OF English weakness in the orient, and
setting forth the possibilities of re-
establishing French colonies in Egypt
and the Lcvant. There was only one
menacing phrase, but it expressed an
unpalatablc truth, that "six thousand
French troops could now conquer
Egypt" The publication in England
of this paper raised tremendous pop
ular storm, and it has pleased many
historians to regard Bonaparte's course
as virtual declaration Of war. In
reality it was merely French Roland
for an English Oliver. If England in
tended to keep Malta, let her beware
of her prestige in the east. Had Iona
parte intended to act on Sebastiani's
report, he certainly would not have
published it. Of course the English
populace utterly failed to grasp so nice
a point, and the incident so strained
the relations of France and England
that all Europe saw the impending
crisis--onc. or the other, or both, must
consent to a modification of the treaty
in respect to Malta, or there would be
! war.-Prof William M. Sloane, in Cen
tury.
