and manager of the American Biscuit
Company, who said this yesterday after
noon.
Eyes, am one of the Oldest members of
the Caledonian Club" continued Mr..
Dunn, "but am not now considered an
active mem Der. Still, | am interested in
the club and what it does, and especially
in this project of Burns monument.
Times have been hard, and the raising of
money for any purpose whatever just now
would probably be difficult matter; but
there are enough Scots in this City to carry
such a project through if properly under
taken. That is my belief. That is mat
ter for those taking the initiative, how
ever. They will probably Know just what
they are about before they begin the prac-
tical part of it. At any rate, as I'said. If
the work is undertaken it should be with
a view of doing it properly.
"By the way" continued Mr.. Dunn, "a
Burns monument was agitated some years
ago by the st. Andrews Society and a
number OF subscriptions were secured. l
remember that donated something. The
plan was never carried out, and so / sup
pos, they have the money then collected.
1t ought to form a nucleus for new fund.
Yes, l am in favor OF Burns monument
that will be credit to Scotchmen and the
descendants of Scotch men in this City,"
To DR.. Minton, professor in the theo-
logical college at San Anselmo is due the
credit for reviving the Burns monument
idea at this time. DR.. Minton visited
Scotland last August, representing the
Scotch societies here at the Lord Kelvin
jubilee. At the banquet given in Maple
Hall at the Palace Hotel on last St.
Andrews night, Novem ber 80, DIR. Minton
res sponded to toast to Scotland in the
course of which he mentioned the name
of Scott. He was interrupted by pro-
Ionged applause.
A little further along he spoke OF Burns.
The burst of applause was such as to
make distinct impression upon him.
Afterward he spoke of it and said that the
sentiment was evidently so quick and
warm in the Scottish heart for Burns that
it should find some substantial express
sion AMI that the old monument id ca
should be revived and placed in such
hands as would enlist confidence, and it
would go through to finish. in short
order.

SUPERVISOR RIVERS SEAT.

Argument in the Supervisors Case to
Be Heard To-MoErow Morning.
Supervisor-elect Rivers appeared in
Judge Hebbard's department of the Su-
perior Court yesterday with a motion to
dissolve the tempora injunction OBJ
tanned by Supervisor Wagner, represent
ing the Twelfth Ward, said injunction
restraining Mr.. Rivers from attempting to
take possession of his Office until further
order of :he court.
In the outset Judge Hebbard announced
that lie would decline to hear any argu-
ment touching the validity OF the recent
election, as he holds a commission under
that election and would consider himself
disqualified for sitting for the pnrpese oi
deciding as 10 the legality of the election.
He was willing to hear argument on the
technical point as to whether an in juno
ton would lie in such case as the one at
bar, and by consent further proceedings
were continued until tomorrow morning
at $3.50 o'clock.
An effort will in the meantime be made
to get the case before some Judge of the
Superior Court who is legally qualified to
take UP the matter in all its bearings, in
order that decision may be reached upon
the merits of the case at the earliest pos
sible moment.

MYSTERY OF A
STOLEN PURSE
It Contained Two Hundred
Dollars and Several
Valuable Papers.
Mrs. Frankopan, a Visitor to
the City, the Victim of
a Thief.
She Lost the Key of Her Trunk, and
When She Got 1t Opened the
Purse Had Disappeared.

Detectives are busily enga ged endeavor-
ing to elucidate the mystery OF a robbery
that occurred at I'LL California street
Wednesday morning.
The house is occupied by Mrs. L. ID.
Judd, and Mrs. Frankopan, friend, is at
present on visit to her during the holi-
day season.
"Wednesday morning after breakfast
Mrs. Frankopan discovered that she had
lost,the key to her trunk. She searched
everywhere for it, but could not find 1t,
and after lunch she went to locksmlth
to get him to open the trunk.
The iocksmith went back with her and
they went to her room. After trying sew
eral keys, one was found to fit the lock
and the trunk was opened. Mrs. Franko-
pan saw at once that some one had been
tampering with the contents of the trunk
since she last looked into it in the morn
ing before losing the key.
She reached for the place where she
kept her purse to get money to pay the
Iocksmlth, and found 10 her surprise that
it had been stolen. She searched through
the trunk, thinking the purse might have
been by mistake put in another place, but
it was not to be found.
The purse contained number OF Velu-
able papers; and about $500 in coin. Mrs.
Frankopan is more vexed over the loss oil
the papers than the money. and as they
are of use to no one but herself she Is very
anxious. to get them back.
Information of the robbery was at once
sent to police headquarters and two detec-
tives were sent to the house. They ques-
toned the servant girl and every one ID
the house, but were unable to get clew.
The purse must have been stolen be-
tween:10 o'clock in the morning and in
the afternoon by some one who found the
lost key. At least that is the conclusion
the detectives arrived at, but who the
thief is remains mystery so far, although
the '.sleuths'' look wise and give the
impression that they will soon have a
clew. :.
II have no idea who stole the purse, "
said Mrs. Frankopan last night. u have
no suspicion of any one, and If L had it
would not do for me to say SO unless
had some good reason for doing so.
"It is possible that sneak thief may
have entered the house by the rear door
and opened the trunk with false key,
but it seems improbable. The front door
is always kept locked, so that no one
could enter by that way.
81 think the trunk was opened and the
purse stolen during the short time 1 was
away for the 1ocksmith. 1t is an unfor-
tunate affair and | hope the police Will be
able to clear it up"

The Record Shows a Big Majority in
Favor of New Families.
The records OF the County Clerks office
show that there are still great many
more marriages than divorces in San
Francisco, the marriage licenses issued
during the year 1896 mum bering 3136,
while there were only 783 divorce suits
filed in the same period.
1t is noted that June is. the banner

cluded and the Case Continued
TIL January 12.

TIL January 12.
The preIim mary examination of Benia-
min f. Hudelson, charged with libel by
Attorney D. B. Woodw orth, was conun-
ued before Judge Campbell yesterday
afternoon.
Hudelson's cross-examination by Wood
worth, which has occupied four after
moons, was concluded yesterday, and the
Judge heaved sigh. of relief. Wood
worth confined himself almost entirely to
asking the defendant whether certain
statements had been made before the
Judiciary Board of the Am ericar Protec-
tive Association during the hearing of the
charges against Rev. Donald NJ. Ross,
most of which was objected to as irrele-
ant and immatcrial, and the objections
were sustained.
The Judge objected to Woodwork
dragging in the names OF reputable citi-
zens because certain persons were reported
as having made statements which no sem
sible man would believe they would make,
but by asking the question Woodworth
succeeded in his object.
Several times Hudelson had to ask the
protection of the court from insulting re-
marks made by Wood worth TIL finally
the Judge warned Woodwork that he had
gone too far, and if the defendant took

crowded with girls when the fire broke
out and it was instantly the scene Of a
semi-panic, the frightened operatives
rushing to the roof of the building and
thence crossing to other buildings and so
effecting their escape while the flames
were pouring out of the basement. In
less than quarter of an hour the flames
had enveloped the adjoining warehouse
and thence they leaped across the street
to an enormous paper warehouse, which
was fully alight in less than ten minutes.
It is officially reported that $50 ware
houses have been Quilted, and an estimate
of the damage done places the amount at
nearly f5,00O,00O.
Curiously enough, the territory covered
by this fire is in part the same as that
burned over in 1866. The place Of be-
ginning is within 100 yards in both in
stances. The direction is the same, and
the same public buildings-now vastly

DR.. HOUGHTON'S DEATH.

Noted Pastor of the "Litt1e Church
Around the Corner Is No More.
Rev. George HI. Houghton of New York,
pastor of the Church of the Transfgura-
ton, better known as the Little Church
Around the Corner" is dead.
In 1913 DR.. Houghton, then an ambi-
tious young clergyman, organized the
Church of the TRANSPORTATION, which was
destined to become in after years world
famed as 1.-THE Little Church Around the
Corner It has borne that name for
more than quarter of century. The
circumstances through which the title
was. bestowed were as follows:
George Holland, the actor, and father
of E. NJ. and Joseph Holland, died on
Dec. 20, 1870. In arranging for the fun
eral, Joseph Jefferson and others called
upon Rev. Mr.. Sabine, pastor of fash
ionable church in Madison avenue, and
asked him if he would conduct the fun
eral services. Ascertaining that Holland
was an actor, Rev. Mr.. Sabine declined
to conduct the funeral service, and when
asked by Mr.. Jefferson and his compan-
ions if he could tell them where they could
get a clergyman, he remarked that "there
was little church around the corner"
where they do such things. The dead ac-
tors friends went to that little church and
were received with kindly consideration
by Rev. DR.. Houghton. This incident
formed live theme for talk all over the
country, and it established '"The Little
Church Around the Corner firmly in the
affections of the public, as well as Of the
theatrical profession.
