James Glib has just returned from an
interesting trip through the Yellowstone
Park. Speaking of the visit yesterday he
said: ut is surprising how few Califor-
mans and how many Eastern tourists
visit this wonderful reservation. Il was
told that some two hundred tourists arrive
daily from the East. The Caliiornians in
the park when was there were Mr.. Sachs,

State were assigned to one coach and we

the immediate direction of the United

Miss Kathryn Kidder, who assumes the
role of Catherine Hubscher, the washer
woman of the Rue st. Roch in Sardou's
Nine. Sans Gene, will arrive in this City.
overland, this evening. She will make
her first appearance in this character at
the Baldwin Theater Monday evening,
August 81. Miss Kidder is lady of
marked personality who has made an en-
viable place for herself in the dramatic
profession. Sardou, when she was abroad,
sent for her to visit him in his study.
Sardou said to her that he ''had made
Nine. Sans Gene vulgar woman and as
such she must be played"
Some light is thrown upon Miss Kid
der's characteristics by her response to the
great playwright. "Pardon me, sir, she
said, with emphasis, you do not know
American audiences as well as l do. ]
shall play her as an ignorant woman, but
not vulgar woman"
1t is related of Miss Kidder that she has
fads. One of these is a fondness for lace
handkerchiefs, of which she has made q
very large collection. She has gathered
them from all parts of the country, North.
South, East and West, and she never fails
to purchase one in every city she visits as
a memorial. She is noted for her love OF
pretty things. and perhaps her handker-
chief collection illustrates this.
Another trait is illustrated by her ac-
count of her personal impressions concern
ing Sardou. She has sent an account OF

out of all her troubles and so consulted
her father about it. Then she<<ent to a
lawyer. But alas, she found tHat the law
didn't apply to her case.
Yesterday the Bakers were in Judge
Slacks court, represented by a number of
attorneys, fighting for the possession of
the child. Mrs. Baker, with tears in her
eyes, declared that she has only her off
spring to live for Oracle stoutly main
tains that she will not reside with her
days with her father, who has placed her
in a young ladies's school on Pacific
avenue, where she is being taught French
and Latin and other polite accomplish
ments.
Mrs. Baker, however, says that her ex-
husband is not a proper person to have
charge of an innocent child. She claims
that he is "bad man" IN the truest sense
of the word; that he was unfaithful to her
during their married life; that he Is un-
truthful, unreliable and dishonest. She
cites an instance in which she declares
that Baker sta bbed a man at Los Angeles,
and also says that he has on several oc-
casions appropriated property belonging
to other people, all the while being osten-
sibly pillar of the church to which he
belonged.
There was not time to finish the argu-
ment yesterday, so the matter went over
until to-day.
Oracle is a very intelligent, lovabIe, lit
tie girl, and no matter to whom the court
may see fit to award her, one thing is GER
tain she will lead any one who tries to
keep her from her father dogs life.

GOT MANY SPECIMENS,
Return of University Men
From a Tour in Lower
California.
An Ex.Convict Crushed to Death
Under Keg Of Butter on
the Queen.

Among the arrivals yesterday were the
Pacific Coast Steamship Company's
Queen, from Alaska, and the Orizaba from
Mexico. Among the passengers on the
former was j. A. Fillmore of the Southern
Pacific. AT Sitka the Queen took on about
twenty miners who were tired of prospect
ing for gold. Their story does not vary
from that of the hundreds who have
reached home before them. An ex-con-
vict named Patton lost his life alongside
the steamer at Sitka. He and compan-
ion were attempting to steal keg of
butter from the vessel. 1t slipped when
the thief was passing it over the side, and
and taking Patton along, both butter and
man went through the bottom of the boat
that was alongside. and disappeared
Patton never came up again.
Among the passengers on the OriZaba
were: d. Coolidge of Stanford University,
l.. II. Miller of the University of Califor-
MIA and ]. ]. abbott, also OF Stanford.
They have been in Lower California for
three months, and during that time have
collected 1900 specimens of birds, 700 of
animals, large assortment of reptiles and
insects and over 1900 eggs. They bring a
large assortment of bats a large colony OF
which Coolidge discovered by tumbling
into the hole. They say the only deadly
animal they encountered down south was
the skunk. Anything that the filthy beast
bites gets hydrophobia and dies. One of
the guides employed by the party was
bitten by one of the animals and died two
days later.
The Mare Island and Vallejo steamer
Monticello has not been running this week.
Some necessary repairs to her machinery
had to be made, SO she was laid up.
Although the Sunol has practically had
the route to herself in consequence the
fare of 10 cents to Vallejo has not been
increased, so the travelling public has no
cause of complaint

Bay Alaska, next week with miners

sample coal cargo she brought down has
turned out so well that work on the mine
will be pushed and regular line of golfers
put on.

day Jacobson was detailed for the lob.

boat and ho got tangled in the towing
line. Black went to his assistance or he
would surely have been drowned. This

boatman has saved during the last year.

The FUND GROWING.

Over Twelve Hundred Dollars Sub
scribed for the Charter Campaign.
The first contribution to the Charter Az
sociation funds have been made. The
Merchants Association has generously
contributed $1,000 and James ID. Phelan,
president of the Charter Association, has
contributed $3.50 to the funds necessary to
carving on the campaign in favor OF the
adoption of the new charter. A number
of banks, insurance companies, capitalists
and property-owners have already signi-
fed their intentions of making suitable
appropriations to this fund. There is
every indication that sufficient money
will be contributed for all the necessary
expenses of the Citizens Charter Associa-
ton. Every public-spirited citizen in the
community who desires to make a contri-
button will kindly send the same to the
chairman of the finance committee, Colonel
M. H. Hecht, or to the officers of the
Charter Association.

Prefers Her Mother to Her
Grandmother, but Doesn't
Like Either.
HER PARENTS ARE DIVORCED.
A Fourteen. Year.old Girl Who Has
Studied the Law Regarding
Her Position.

A little girl has been found who don't
like her grandmother. She don't like
her mother either, but she coafided to
Judge Slack yesterday that she had a
hundred times rather live with her mother
than with her grandmother. She Is
bright-faced pretty little miss, and she
doesn't seem to be such very, very bad
girl, but she told unblushingly how she
ran away from home ever so many times.
The little girls name is Grace Baker,
and her father and mother have not lived
together for almost ever since she can
remember. Her mother, Mrs. Susan Baker,
who is a school-teacher, got divorce away
back in 1887, and was by the court given
the custody of Oracle. Oracle has mind
of her own, and for some time has been
deeply thinking about the action of the
severe old Judge, who said her mother
might have charge of her.
Papa Baker has been in the habit of
coming to see. his little daughter once or
twice month for long time, and during
these occasional interviews she formed
quite liking for her father. He took her
TO Oakland with him and the two wan
dered about together in Blairis Park and
almost forgot to come home, so happy
were they in each other company. When
tnSy uHdlIy ulu get DdCA MIS-. DdheI met
them at the door and gave them both
raking over for staying out so late.
The happy hours Miss Grace spent with
her father caused her to long for his COM
ing and made her restless at home. Her
mother was unable to control her effectu-
ally and they had bitter ouarrels, and
then Oracle would run away. She was
sent to live with her grandmother, but
she ran away from there, too. 1t was in
describing her levanting from her grand
parents that she used the remark quoted
in the first paragraph Of this story. She
said when she left there she went to her
Aunt Lucinda, ''who," she naively added,
doesn't like grandmother very well,
either"
The result of all the runnings away was
that Oracle finally ran to her father. She
one day, so she testified, was in a library
looking over some volumes when she

through it and saw a passage, ''all in lit

The board will confer with political commit
tees upon the question OF the personality of
those VINO will address the people upon these
political and economic topics, but 1T reserves
to itself the right OF final selection.
The board will appoint a presiding officer
for the proposed meetings, who will be vested
with authority to cal slios any speaker to order
and enforce upon the audience courteous
and decorous attentlon.
AS a rule, there is nothing of interest
going on during the mornings at the
State Fair, and it is for this reason that
the morning hours, between 10 and II,
have been selected. The pavilion is to be
arranged so that it will be possible to seat
5000 people within easy range OF the
speakers voice.
Arrangements have already been made
which will insure the presence of Senator
Henry M. Teller at the fair. He will speak
on behalf of the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1. He is expected to ar
rive in San Francisco next month.
Efforts are being made by the Republi-
can State Central Committee to bring Sem
ator Foraker to the coast, and should
these negotiations prove successful he will
be asked to speak at Sacramento on the
subject of tariff protection.
General ". H. l.. Barnes will also be
asked to speak to a subject that is an
issue with the Republican party, and its
selection will probably be left to him.
NJ. M. Estee is mentioned in connection
with silver from Republican stand
point.
Senator Stephen M. White will explain
the beauties, as he sees them, of tariff
for revenue.
Captain William L. Merry will be given
the opportunity of talking to the masses
of the benefits that wilt accrue to the
people of the State when the Nicaragua
Canal is a fait accompli.
General n. P. Chapman, president of the
State Board OF Trade, will tell what in his
opinion is the best way to attract immi-
grafton TO California.
John P. Irish, the enthusiastic gold
Democrat in season and out, will be in
yited to expound the benefits of single
gold standard to the people of California
Witty and eloquent Anna Shaw, if the
wishes of the local Woman's Suffrage
Association are needed, will dilate upon
the effect of the defeat of the won an s
suffrage amendment on the people of
California.
No speakers have yet been mentioned in
connection with the other subjects on the
programme, but they will be selected with
particular reference to their knowledge of
the subject allotted to them and their
ability to speak in public. 1t is the pur.
pose to make this course of education in
political economy not only satisfyingly
Informative but thoroughly enjoyable.

In ordinary sightseeing one can do the

sion tickets make this allotment of time,
allowing travellers to remain one night at

HUGH o'NEIL CONVICTED
viii Be Sentenced for Bringing Tuber-
culous Meat Into This County
for Sale


for Sale.
Hugh O'Neil, the San Mateo County
butcher, who for several years carried on
the business of slaughtering decrepit
horses in this City and sending them to
Chinatown for sale, was convicted by act
ing Police Judge Kerrigan yesterday Of
sending into this county tuberculous
beef.
Thomas Mahoney and Patrick Harring-
ton, who were driving the wagon contain
ing the beef when captured by Market In
spector Ben Davis and squad of police,
testified that O'Neil had instructed them
to convey the meat to butcher-shop IN
Chinatown. They were corroborated by
other witnesses. O'Neil claimed that he
had given the beef to the young men to
carry to the fertilizing works, but as he
could bring no evidence to support his
statement his story failed to impress the
court, particularly as Inspector Davis tes-
titled that attempts had been made to re-
move the tubercules from the ribs OF the
carcass by scraping them.
Judge Kerrigan found O'Neil guilty un-
der the section of the law that prohibits
the transporting into the County, selling
or exposing for sale diseased meat, and
ordered him to appear for sentence to-day,
intimating that in his judgment the Of
tense merited severe penalty.
