She Sells Flowers at the
Door of Her Husbands
Office.
He Deserted Her, She Says,
After All Her Money
Was Gone.
A New Way of Bringing a Man 10
the Point of Supporting
His Wife.

'tThese are all that stand between me
and starvation on the street, for have no
other friends"
The speaker was Mrs. SCHUYLER, the wife
of Andrew SCHUYLER, real estate and in
surance agent, sos Montgomery street, who
lives in Oakland. The ''tbese" referred
to were several punches of violets on a
little stand at the corner of Post and
Kearny streets yesterday. Above the
blue blossoms was a large card, upon
which was printed her name, "Mrs. A.
Schuller.'
The wholesaler is separated from her
husband, and she has brought suit against
him for maintenance, alleging that he was
worth fully $50, GOO, but had quietly placed
his property out of his hands and had re-
fused to support her or give her one cent.
She also stated tina. when she married
Andrew SCHUYLER in 1894 she was widow
worth $15,uOos in real estate and that,
through the manipulations of SCHUYLER,
she is now penniless.
The complaint which she swore to and
filed against her husband was a long one
and il told a plaintive tale of cruelty,
fraud and even an attempt to murder her
by stapDing her in the neck with pocket
knife.
SCHUYLER replied to the com plant that
he was without money or property and
was DEPENDENT on charity for his support.
After her unsuccessful attempt TO get
something out of SCHUYLER she hit
upon plan to earn living and at the
same time remind her husband of his OBJ
legation.
She procured her stock OF volets and
took her stand last Saturday on Montgom-
cry street just opposite Schuller's office.
She did we'll at her new venture because
many OF her husband S customers were her
old friends and they bought violets as
they passed her. When SCHUYLER went out
to his lunch his wife was standing there
with her violets, and when he returned to
his Office she was still at her post.

He Took as Much as He Could
of the Weldon Family's
Property.
The Temporary Absence of the Family
Gave Him the Opportunity He
Wished For.

The Berkshire Hotel, I'll Jones street,
was visited by burglar last Saturday
evening, and from the systematic man
ner in which he acquitted himself it is
evident the visitor was proficient in the
art of his profession.
Roy L. Weldon and his wife left their
rooms shortly after o'clock for walk
downtown, leaving the gas lit and the
door unlocked. Their son was in the
building and about the hallway, which is
on the first floor of the hotel.
Shortly after they LETT some acquaint-
ance OF the young man called to see him
and invited him to take walk. He con-
scented and went into his parents room
for his overcoat which was hanging on
the rack. On his entry to the room he
found the place dark. He thought moth
ing of that, however, but seized his coat
and departed.
At 8 o'clock Miss Weldon had occasion
to visit her parents rooms. and on at
tempting to enter she found the door
locked. This circumstance aroused her
suspicion, so she sent one of the men
through an alieyway that separates the
hotel from the adjoining house to gain
admittance through the window. The
servant found the window had been
raised. He entered and unlocked the
door, and as soon as the gas was lighted
the handiwork OF the professional burglar
was apparent.
While Miss Weldon was Strengthening

left her parents returned. They found
that one tin box, in which there had been
kept bankb books, deeds, insurance policies
and other papers of value, had disap

SAYS WE WERE EGYPTIANS
DIR. j. A. Anderson Says Some of Us
Are Doubtless Reincarnations OF
the Ancient Egyptians

Last night, at the Academy of Sciences,
DR.. ]. A. Anderson delivered an address
to the Theosophical Society, taking for his
subject, Memories of Past Lives".
The memories referred to were those
which are the spirits holding on to some
of the experiences of previous incarna-
lions. Our physical being, he said, has Its
traces OF its passage through many stages
in different lives-from the brutes.up to
the most finely organized human being.
Much that we have OF passion and evil
propensity can be explained in this way.
Likewise each mans intellect is the
product OF experiences; not merely from
the cradle OF his present life, but reach1np
far back when the same mind was in other
bodies.
Mans moral and spiritual natures have
been built up to their present excellence
or depravity through a long cycle of
struggle to improve or of yielding to base
ness when the soul inhabited other bodies
and was known by other names in CEN
turtles gone by.
1t Is only thus that the strange memo
rles that come so startlingIy can be &C.
counted for. This is the explanation of
how the adopts" gain their wonde rful
power. by pure and highly spiritual
existence through many incarnations the
qulred through centuries of varied expert
ence and iaborious research. He does not
lose SO much of his attainments in re-
births as do the souls which are not adopts.
After the address there were number
OF questions asked by members of the
society and answered by other members.
IN replying TO one of these DR.. Anderson
said that some OF us living on earth now
were ancient Egyptians. In the long cycle
OF ex periences through which we all pass
our souls were doubtless incarnated CEN
turtles ago on the banks of the Nile.

Treadwen Story.

Jose, where his sister, Mrs. Nolan, had
gone 20 seek him, but pretty Mrs. Welch
has not been heard OF, and the young
man stoutly denied knowing anything of
her whereabouts.
Altogether it is a most mixed-up af-
fair, according to the story of those
most interested. Ivan Treadwell, Jimmie's
brother, says be knew of the two young
reopIe skipping off, on Tuesday last,
he thought possibly 10 he married, but he
is not willing to admit that, He says
any marriage between them would be
annulled anyway.
Mrs. Shone, mother of Mrs. WEIGH, said
she knew her daughter had left the City
with young Mr. Tread well last Tuesday,
and she believed they were married.
Ivan Treadwel when seen at his resi-
dence, 517 Octavia street, yesterday, said !:
II learned of their skipping off last
Tuesday TO San Jose, and | went to see
the girls mother. From her l learned
that the marriage ceremony had taken
place. Well, perhaps it's good thing, so
let it go at that.
There is one thing that do know, and
that is that our guardian, George Y. Boil
finger, will not countenance the marriage
because Jimmie is only 10 years old and is
not yet of age. 1t will have to be an

Mrs. Shone is the mother of the forum

have captured the heart and hand of the
prospective young millionaire. She lives
at 50zH Larkin street, where CALL re-

afternoon.
She was asked as to the details OF the
engagement and ceremony.
She looked at the reporter as he spoke,

HER PAINFUL MISTAKE.
Miss Amelia Manning Applies Carbolic
Acid to Her Face Instead of
Glycerine and Rose Water.


Amelia Manning, young woman, liv-
ing at III Howard street, made mistake
yesterday afternoon that will not only
cause her suffering, but will disfgure her
for months.
She was dressing to go to the matinee
at the Orpheum. and on her table were a
bottle containing a mixture of glycerine
and rose water and one containing car
bolic-acid. She took the wrong bottle and
wiped her face with the carbolic acid. She
screamed with pain, and a hack was sum-
moned and she was taken to the Receiving
Hospital.
When she reached there her face was
swollen to almost twice its natural SIZE.
DR.. BunnelI promptly applied counter
irritaEt.
Dr. Bunnell said the carbolIc acid must
have been diluted, otherwise the iniam
nation would have been much greater. 1t
will take months before her cheeks will
resume their natural color.
