Sowing Late Cpbbaee Seed.

It is not too late yet to sow cabbage
seed for late planting. Caution is
needed MOTTO SOW the seed too thickly.
That makes its growth so spindling
that the successful first transplanting
is very difficult, After the second
transplanting the plants will be ready

hage sown now will make much of its
growth after the first frosts, and on
fairly rich ground will not need much

THE ARTISTS TO help.
A Grand Drawing at the Hop
kins Gallery for Mrs,
lie Conte.
Secretary Martin Asks Oontribu-
tiOns of Paintings and
Sketches.

The artists Of this City are arranging an
entertainment for the benefit of the widow
and children of Fortune lie Conte, the
poor artist of the noble house OF Orleans
who starved to death few days ago.
J. r. Martin, the secretary of the Hop
kins Institute OF Art, has the matter
directly in hand. He issued a circular
yesterday, which is being sent to all the
artists OF San Francisco, asking them to
donate picture or sketch each, at least,
the idea being to rattle the pictures at the
institute some day or evening about a
week hence.
Otto Dobbertin, Amadee Joullin, Viii
liam Keith and other artists are doing all
they can to assist in making the affair
success.
1t is hoped that at least $500 or $1,000
may be raised Immediately for the widow
aid the two children VINO are dependent
on her. There is great deal of feeling
among the artists in regard to the matter.
As is natural they have a strong SYM
Tathy for the family in their grief and
poverty.
Every body who heard of the move Of
the artists yesterday was enthusiastic re-
garding it. The widow and children are
in actual need at the present time. 1t is
felt that they must he aided at the
earliest possible moment.

Brother Charles Determined to
Prosecute for the Capital
Crime.
MORE CHARGES II PREPARATION.
The Hearing on the Bmbe57lement
Complaints Continued Until
July 8,

1t was definitely decided yesterday to
prefer a charge of murder against Theo-
dore Figel. The complaint will be sworn
10 by Harry Hoffman, one of the brothers
OF the dead man. His course was deter
mined by the receipt of a letter from
Charles Hoffman, also brother of the de-
ceased and the member of the firm of
Hoffman, Rothchild & Co. who is now in
New York
In this letter the brother resident in this
City was advised to prosecute Figel on the
capital charge if Isaac Hoffman's widow
did not take such action.
1t is admitted that the widow will not
take any proceedings against Figel, as she
feels that the handicap of having the en-
tire Police Department against her is too
great 10 be overcome. Under these cir
cumstances Harry Hoffman, after consul
tation with his attorney, felt that he must
take the steps 10 bring the slayer of his
brother TO justice, if he can be found and
convicted.
Judge Murphy has been instructed 10
draw up the necessary com plant, and VIII
do so as soon as he has concluded the pre-
paration of all the complaints that T. 5.
Rothchild proposes 10 prosecute his for
mer bookkeeper upon. As soon as the
murder complaint is ready it will be
signed by Harry Hoffman.
After returning from the Police Court,
where Figel was to have been arrsigned
on the four charges OF felony embezzle-
ment filed against him Monday, Judge
Murphy began work on a number of other
complaints TO be filed to-day. These will
comprise two or three charges of embez-
Element and the same number OF forgery.
These charges will be based on the $500
negotiated with B. Joseph, the Minor &
Co. draft for $l4s2 70, deposited by Figel
to the credit of Joseph, and check for
$500, signed by Z. S. Rothchild, the pro-
ceeds of which Figel is said to have ap-
propriated to his own use.
Felony EN- bezzlement is punishable by
from one TO ten years Imprisonment and
forgery by from one to fourteen years. II
the judgment for all the offenses is pro-
nounced at the same time, even though
the convictions occurred on different
dates, the Judge may order that the SEN
tence for each crime shall begin when the
preceding term has expired. Judge Muir
ply IS sanguine of conviction on all the
charges that have been or win be brought
for e n beZZlemen and forgery. There is,
therefore, prospect that Theodore Figel
may spend the remainder of mis- life in
prison, even though be be not prosecuted
on the capital charge.

The defendant at the trial sought to
evade the responsibility by declaring that

claimed that it was she who posted the
