He Will Deliver a Series of
Lectures in Metropolitan
Hall.
LIBERTY TO BE HIS THEME.
The American Women'S Liberal
League Has Arranged for the
Whole Course.

Arrangements have been made by the
American Women's Liberal League for a
course of five lectures TO be delivered un-
der its auspices by the Rev. Peter G..
Yorke, chancellor of the diocese, in Metro
politan Hall. These discourses are to be
on civil and religious liberty. They have
already attracted considerable attention in
circles where Father Yorke is admired.
The purpose, it has been stated, of these
lectures IS to give people an opportunity
of hearing both sides of the question
treated.
The first lecture will be delivered on
Monday night, April 20. on 1.-THE Nursing
Mother of Republics" Thursday, April
%, 1.-The Dragons Teeth" will form the
subject of discourse, and "Man's Inhu-
manity to Man" will be discussed Mon
day, April 81 The fourth lecture will be
given May 8, on the 'Day-spring on
High" and the series will be concluded
Tuesday, May II, with a lecture on the
''Noontide of Freedom" I"
The American Women's Liberal League
has taken this means of carrying out the
aims of it's existence. 1t stands for abso-
lutte tolerance in religious matters. In
brief form its principles are declared in the
following manner:
We declare that liberty of conscience is not
only privilege, but a sacred right in these
United States, and that freedom of religious
worship has been guaranteed to all citizens by
the constitution.
We assert that the experience of over hun
dred years has demonstrated that religious in
tolerance is incompatible with the best civili-
zaton, and that persecution or prescription on
account OF race, color or creed is q menace
TO the country's welfare and the country's
good.
We denounce any attempt to array one class
OF eltlzens against another on the score of race,
creed or color as un-Ameriean and unjust.
we condemn as violators OF the cons titution
those who seek, either openly or in secret, to
make religious test a qualification for any
ofhce of public trust.
We believe that no organization should be
permitted to render null and void, under any
pretext, the guarantees of religious liberty
contained in our organic law and to the end
that ''no religious test should ever be required
as qualification to Office or public trust under
the United States," and that Congress shall
make no law respecting establishment of
religion or prohibiting the free exercise and
enjoyment of religious profession, and that
worship. without discrimination or preference
shall forever be guaranteed in the United
States We hereby subs cribe our names as
members of the American Women's Liberal
League
The league has concluded to charge 25
cents admissi for each of the lectures, or
81 for the course, and double that sum for
reserved seats. These tickets are for sale
at the leagues headquarters, 63 Donohoe
building.

A WOMAN WITH A HISTORY.
Though Only Eighteen, Has Travelled
the World Over She Is
Highly Educated.

One week ago to-day pretty Miss Maud
Morse of 3013 Buchanan street left her
home to go to the bakery half a block
away. From that moment until the pres
ent time Mr.. and Mrs. Bowers, with
whom she was stopping, have not seen
her, and they fear that she has either
committed suicide or met with foul play
When the young woman did not re turn
home Thursday night Mrs. Bowers be-
came uneasy and made hurried visit to
the bakery. There it was learned that
Miss Morse borrowed a dime under the
pretense that she was i'll and must consult
a physician at once.
Miss Morse boarded the Union-street
car, and waving a friendly adieu to the
bakers wife, who stood III the little shop
door, started on her journey. Days passed
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-16

and the young woman did not return.
Tuesday last the matter was reported to
the police, but all efforts to trace her
movements after leaving the car have so
far resulted only in failure. The physi-
elan on whom the missing girl said she
intended TO call was seen, but he declared
that be had not seen her-In fact did not
know any such person.
Miss Morse is g dainty young girl of per-
haps Is years of age. She is dark of eye,
with features very much on the Spanish
type and altogether more than ordinarily
prenossessing. In addition to these facial
beauties she has charm and grace of
manner which indicated that she h ad
been accustomed to walk in the higher
circles Of society. In fact, Miss Morse ap-
peared to be a young woman with his
tory, though Mrs. Bowers was able to
CLEAN only bits of it here and there.
On the last day of March Mrs. Bowers
advertised for an assistant-one under
standing general housework, at the same
expert with the needle. The next day
april Miss Morse rang the doorbelI.
she wanted home at once, so it was easy
to agree on the remuneration.
''She was OF a gentle and confiding ma
ture," said Mrs. Bowers yesterday,
Though l was never able to learn much
about her private life. She was evlde ntly
well born, and had been highly educated.
speaking French and German as fuentlv
as she did her native to ngue. On one oc-
casion she told me that she had travelled
all over the world-France, Germany,
Italy, Asia and the Hawaiian Islands. At
another time Miss Morse told me that she
was born in San Francisco, but had moved
TO Baltimore a numbe of years ago. She
returned to this City some months ago.
and for while was with the family of a
Mr.. Tucker on Green street.
'You see she left everyt hing she had"
continued Mrs. Bowers, as she showed
the room formerly occupied by
Miss Morse. "All of her clothes, pictures
and little trinkets are just as she left them.
l fear she has committed suicide, though
why she should do such a rash thing
cannot understand. She seemed happy.
and so far as l knew did not have any
gentlemen acquain tances. / shall leave
everything just as it is until she comes
Dack, which know she will do, ii alive. !"
In Miss Morse's room was found a.num-
Der OF photographs, one bearing the sigma
tuIe on the reverse side Your friend, Mrs.
Gertie Levey. San Francisco" On the
table lay little silver watch, and near it
list.
Inc disappearance of the young woman
is peculiar, to say the least, and SO far the
follce Department has signally faile in
tracing her any farther than from the
bakery TO the boarding of the streetcar
