FUNERAL STREET RAILWAYS.

Scheme Proposed in st. Louis Which
VIII Reduce Cost of Burials.
During the coming summer several
of the street railway companies of St.
Louis will try the innovation of operat-
ing funeral cars over their lines. In
the bill introduced in the council few
days ago applying for franchise to
extend the Southern Electric road from
it's present terminus at Broadway and
Howard street to the fair grounds a
clause is included authorizing the COM
pany to run funeral cars, as well as
United States mail and express cars.
AS yet the company has formed no
definite plan for the operation of these
cars, and has set no time for the in
auguration of this new departure. One
or more cars, especially constructed
for funeral service, will be ordered
built, and the public will be given an
opportunity to see to what advantage
funeral can be conducted on street
railway, as compared with the primi-
tive system of employing carriages and
hearse.
The cars will be of the very finest
make, and will be furnished as COM
pletely as the latest improved parlor
cars, with silk draperies, cushioned
chairs and carpeted floors. The most
favored funeral cars in cities where
street railway funerals have ceased to
be experiments Is one arranged with
two compartments, SO that the casket
can be carried into the forward room,
while the mourners and friends are
amply provided for in the rear COM
partment.
The reduced cost is an argument in
favor of street railway funerals. It is
possible to conduct q funeral on the
ears for ten dollars, which would cost
not less than $50 If carriages and
hearse were employed. The average
charge for each carriage is-five dollars,
While a hearse costs from six to ten
dollars. A funeral car can be secured
.or ten dollars, and will provide ac-
,ommodation for the casket, pallbear-
ers, clergyman and 40 mourners, and
will displace hearse and ten carriages.

Large Sums of Money Hazarded
That Estee Would Be Elected
Governor of California.
REPENTANCE And RESIGNATION.
The Ex-Governor Reluctantly Con-
sented to Appoint for Burns
Democratic Sport.

Moses Gunst, Police Commissioner, has
caused the statement to be corrected so
far as General Barnes is involved that he
called the turn as to counsel to defend
Figel as soon as he heard that Lees was in
terested in the case. 1t will not be neces-
sary, therefore, for the general to hire Me-
tropolitaH Hall to review the history of
Gunst's appointment to the Office of Po-
lice Commissioner.
No doubt large audience would assem-
bic to listen to discourse on that topic
as the public of California was surprised
and stunned when Governor Markham
appointed Gunst to succeed D. NJ. Burns.
Indeed the selection OF Burns for the office
was sumner but that was accounted for
on.the ground that Burns was in some
sense the manager of Markham's political
fortunes. When Burns resigned and COM
PEELED the Governor to appoint d. mo-
cratic sport to the Office, the people and
the politicians of San Francisco were
dumfounded.
The mystery of the transaction has
never been revealed. No light has yet
penetrated the darkness of the secret.
Common rumor accredits Maurice SchmIt t
and Christopher Buckley, as two men out
side of the principals, who know the true
history of the deal 1t is well known that
u udut ueSltdlSO, Jul lHdlly yleiueQ TO
the i'm Dortunities OF Burns and m ade the
appointment.
The question was asked a thousand
times: Where did Gunst get his influ-
ence with Burns?" There is a story to
the effect that Buns, shortly after the
nomination of Estee for Governor, placed
in the hands of Gupst $50, 900 TO wager
that Estee would be elected. The sum
was increased when a com bination OF
Democrats was formed to down Budd in
San Francisco. The combine decided to
down Burns by defeating Estee, and so
Colonel Burns was left in a hole to make
good his obligations to Gunst.
According to the story Gunst consented
to a settlement satisfactory to Burns pro-
vided the latter would resign the office of
Police Commissioner and induce Mark
ma n 10 appoint Gunst to fill the vacancy.
Markham hesitated. Objections 10 Gunst
on moral grounds had nothing to do with
The hesitauon; but Markham was a Re-
publican, and as men go a fairly good
party man, hence he did not want to
close his political career by the appoint
ment OF a Hell-known Democrat to an
important place. Burns found some way
to overcome the Governors scrupIes, and
Gunst hlmsslf helped a little by saying
that he had renounced his allegiance to
the Democratic party.
According to the story told by one who
claims to have the truth from the inside
that is the way Gunst got on the Board of
Police Com misSioners.

And Got the Secretary of State to

Complaints.

DR.. Fred D. Tyrrell of Sacramento, one
of the three trustees of the lone Indus
trial School, the management and condi-
ton of which have very recently been
strongly condemned by Secretary of State
Brown, arrived in the city yesterday and
is staying at the Grand Hotel.
He declares that the Secretary of State
went up to lone was there one day, lent
his ear to the com planning superintendent
and came back TO Sacramento as his pho
nograph, giving vent to the superintend-
ent's side of the story, which is founded
mainly en- the plea that he cannot run
the institution properly because he is pow
erless to discharge incom petent or insub-
ordinate employees maintained in their po-
sitions by the trustees.

the others are all O'Brien's friends. Mr..
Maddox of Modesto has three appointees
there and l have three. But | told
O'Brien that it the men L put there were
not satisfactory to him TO remove them.
One OF them is this Captain Hawk, over
whom the trouble arose. O'Brien told
me that Hawk was the finest disciplinarian
in the institution and the right man for
the place.
"The trouble is O'Brien allowed the
boys of the school to dictate TO him whom
he should discharge.
'One of the former inmates of the school
came to me on the street a short time ago
and told me that Captain Hawk was to be
discharged because he could give some in

PACIF FIC-UNION
Will NOT MOVE
The Club Resolves to Re-
main in the House Near
Union Square.
Van Ness Avenue Scheme Re-
scinded and Postponed at
Meeting Last Night.
Numerous designations and Signs of
Great Revolt Caused Such
Action to Be Taken.

After all the talk by the progressiv e
members of the Pacific Union Club about
m owing out to Van Ness avenue and
building a modern clubhouse of great ar
chitectural beauty and interior conven-
ience the club. at special meeting last
evening, res cinded all that had been done
indefinitely postponed the whole subject.
The indications are that the club will
extend the lease of the premises on Union
square now occupied and endeavor to
render the old home agreeable to all the
members Of the fold.
The course which the club last night in
dorsed was caused in measure by numer-
Gus designations and signs that the de-
sertions would be still m ore formidable if
the Van Ness avenue scheme was carried
out.
The meeting last night was attended by
about one hundred members. 1t was
| called on petition presented to the board
oft rustees by members who believed that
the club had made a mistake in de cid ing
to move. A. Chese brough. the president
OF the Institution, presided. After the
session he said that there was no discus
sion on the proposition to rescind. The
sentiment of the club was at once ex-
pressed in favor of postponing for an in
definite time the whole subject matter.
In the expectation of purchasing land
and building commodious structure
bonds of the club to the amount OF $3.50 900
had been au horized and subscri bed for
by members. Two sites were open for
purchase-ore at the corner of Bush street
and Van Ness avenue and the other at the
corner OF Sutter street and the avenue.
The price demanded for the land was not
excessive.
The influence which caused the rescind-
ing was exerted by men who were in favor
OF downtown location. They gave no tice
IN effect that they would establish an
other club if the avenue measure was
forced, hence the advocates of the So
called progress We scheme decided to
yield for the sake of maintaining the full
strength of the organization. 1t is ex-
pected that several of the old mem ber s
who recently resigned will now ask to be
reinstated as the danger OF moving is
past.

to see the great fighter last evening, but
according to latest intelligence from the
East the California heavy weight will not
arrive until tomorrow evening.
There is talk of matching him against
Goddard, as the people who patronize
hstic sport have no desire to see Sharkey
in the ring again.
Owen Ziegler, who is matched to fight
George Green next month, will train at
San Rafael Speaking of Lavigne, Ziegler
says that he IS of the opinion that La
vigne can whip any man in the world at
133 pounds and that he will have his
money on him when he fights Walcott.
Il saw the LaVigne and Walcott fight at
Mespeth," said Ziegler, "and Layigne
made the black fellow quit, and that's no
lie. The men weig he'd 133 pounds, and not
1919 pounds, as was stated in the papers.
l was looking at them when they weighed
in. If l am successful in my fight with
the lightweight limit. l think 'ScaIdy
Bill Quinn can whip any man of his
weight in the country"
Zlegler may be great fighter but he
knows he cannot fight strong al Lavigne's

sounds foolish on the part OF Ziegler.

HE BEFRIENDED A WIDOW

Threats Against L. II. Cos

in the California a-street station last night.
having been arrested at the instance OF L.
II. Cosper. who charges him with having
made threats against his life.
There is a little story back of the arrest
in which pretty, tiaxen-halred widow.
the former wife of Cosper, and another
woman who is Mrs. Cosper No. figure.
Ormsby. who is the friend of the pretty
widow, claims that he is the victim of q
conspiracy on the part of Mr.. Cosper and
his second wife, because of his (Ormsbv's)
friendship for the widow.
The widow is young woman who is
something of a beauty. She WAS divorced
from Cosper several years ago, since which h
time she has assumed her maiden name of
Daisy E. Dewey. At the time of her di-
vorce she was given the custody OF her
little girl and Cosper was ordered to paw
her $l5 month as alimony. Cosper failed
to pay, and there is now $3.50 of it un paid.
Cosper remarked short time ago and
appeared 10 be more determined than ever
not to pay his first wife any alimony. SO
claims the widow.
A week ago she got an order from
Judge BeIshaw directing Cosper to pay
the money. The widow gave the paper to
her friend Ormsby to serve and this is
supposed to be the reason why the war
rant was sworn out against him, as he de-
clares that he never had a word with
Cosper.
The widow stated last night that she
was jumped upon a few nights ago by
Mrs. Cosper and her two sisters when she
went to Cosper's house to serve the paper
on him. A Deputy Sheriff was with her,
but he seems to have been unable to pre-
vent fight.
Yesterday Mrs. Cosper swore TO a COM
plaint charging Daisy Dewey with bat

portraits of Indian chieftains. 1t was
nearly always some of the noble red men
who spoke TO the lady through Earle 8
N ediumship.
Another anxious inquirer was Charles
Webber, thrifty cigar-deaer of good re-
puts who lived at 1851 Mission street.
Earle soon learned thai Webber's great
ambltlon In life was 10 be good medium,
so he agreed 10 teach the am bilious cigar
man all tho secrets and intrIcaces of the
craft assuring the victim that there was
a band of spirits around him at all times.
Earle assured Webber that Indian chiefs
hovered Ger HIM during the busy hours
OF ne day and through the silent watches
OF the night.
The cigar man soon began to take les
sons at so much per lesson. Earle re-
ported progress, but feared there would
be a collision between the spiritual forces,
hostile bands of which fought for supre m
acy, some lowering over Webber, some
over Earle. To avoid hostiiites il was
| hnally agreed that Webber was to have a
falr opportunity to coach mis- band alone.
Earle vacated the rooms, saying he was
going TO the races. His confederates and

afternoon, pretending to be farmers in

under the table and awaited develop

which the visitor expressed great lear that
the performance was a fraud. In few
minutes, however, he got a message from
his grandmother. opened his eyes with
surprise, paid fee of $40 and sent other
visitors, who in turn had satisfactory sit
tings. This was a great surprise TO the
new medium, who now began to feel his
power. Earle soon got his fee OF $500 for
developing the new medium. Ii is said
that Webber only lately discovered that
his visitors were all seight-of-hard men
and that the wonderful messages from
their dead ancestors were written by
themselves at Earie's suggestion.
There are rumors that Weboer loaned
Earle nearly $1,000 before he went to Klon-
dixie, part of which the medium agreed to
invest for his pupil in such places as the
Indi should suggest
One OF the eat advertising Godges of
the medium was to use the fact that en-
