The Maccabees entertainment last night
was a success even If the weather was
unfavorable. The special train brought
about sixty from Atlantic and Extra.
Being little late it delayed the meeting
some and shortened the program a little.
Henry Gray, the presiding officer of the
local lodge, called the assembly to order.
Invocation was given by Rev Howe. II.
w. Hanna was called to preside. The
musical part Of the program consisted of
a duet by the Misses Maude Lynch and
Maude Markham, a trio by Edwin Della
hoyde, Mrs. Carmichael and Bert
Lennon, j solo by Ed Ruff and quartet
by Mesdames Henshaw and Carmichael
and Messrs. Delahoyde and Carmichael.
The addresses by Great Record Keeper
Siegel, of New York, and Supreme Com
mander Marley, of Michigan, were good.
The former was humorous and the latter
argumentative. The effect for fraternal
insurance was good. The opera house
was packed with big audience.
l.. NJ. Thomas, of Des Moines, State
Deputy, is here and will remain in the
city a few days organizing school of
instruction in degree work and starting
a degree team. He has called special
meeting tonight.

ANOTHER INJUNCTION.
The GOdding Gravel Mine at You Bet
Shut Down.

A dispatch from Nevada City states
that the Godding gravel mine at You
Bet, worked by the ''sluicing" method
was shut down on Sunday by the serv-
ing Of an injunction issued by the Su-
perfor Court of this county
This was done by order of Manager
Phipps Of the AntiDebris Association,
and the papers We're served While the
committee from the Sacramento Cham
Der of Commerce We're inspecting the
mine The committee had declined a
request from Manager Phipps to be
allowed TO accompany them on their
visit of inspection.
jerry Goodwin, whose mine in the
same neighborhood had been enjoined,
was not there to receive the commits
tee, owing to a misunderstanding
The reason given for declining Man
ager Phipps' request to be allowed to
accompany the Sacramento committee
was that the members of the commit
tee preferred to themselves inspect and
report on the mines complained OF by
Manager Phipps.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS.
Important Meeting to be Held in This
City Tomorrow Evening.

j. S. Webster, Vice-Chairman of the
Committee of 81, will be present and
address the Young Peoples Societies of
Christian Endeavor, Epworth League
and Baptist Young Peoples Societies
at the Westminster Presbyterian
Church. corner of Sixth and l. streets,
on Wednesday evening, beginning at :
o'clock.
Mr.. Webster's position in the promo
ton and control of this great conven-
ton specially fits him to speak upon
this subject to good advantage, and it
will be to the interest of every person
desiring to learn anything about this
great movement to attend on Wednes-
day evening. To those who have not
been personally interested in the
growth, development and objects of the
Christian Endeavor Societies there can
be but little conception of the mag
nificence of its growth or the strength
of purpose that is embraced within its
declaration of principles.
The fact that within less than sew
enteen years it has reached a mem
bership of more than two and three
quarter millions of persons, and that
the recent international conventions
have brought together more than 90
600 of persons at time, being the
largest congregations of individuals
with single purpose known to mod
ern times, is the best evidence of its
strength.
1t therefore behooves the people of
California, and especially those in the
cities through which large numbers of
visiting delegates are sure to pass, to
prepare themselves to give a. fitting
reception to those delegates. It will be
we'll to bear in mind the fact that this
convention is international, and that
there will be in attendance in this State
next July delegates from every nation
on the face of the earth, and it will
be a poor return for their interest if
the people of this State living so near
the place where this convention is to
be held, do not exert themselves some
what in proportion to the effort that
must be put forth by those who come
so many thousands of miles to be pres
ent on that occasion.
Already many localities other than
San Francisco have taken active meas
ures to fifty receive these visitors, and
-
of Trade it was decided to issue a
history geography Of the State to give
to the visitors
Tomorrow evening the services will
be made up of the address of Mr.. Web
ster, musical praise service and BRIEF
devotional exercises, and it is hoped
that the cause and purpose will justify
the different churches in the city in
giving up at least a portion of their
mid-week prayer service in order to
permit their members to take part in
this rally, which comes on Wednesday
evening only for the reason that Mr..
Webster cannot be present on any other
occasion. The church will be decorated
with flags of the design adopted for
the convention, which will be something
new in this line. Everybody is invited
to be present and enjoy the occasion.
1t is especially desired that all sing
ers will be in attendance promptly, so
that the praise service will be an en-
tertaining feature

How George HeadIy Got Caught in a
Private Residence.

George Headly threw care and trou-
bic to the winds when he entered the
lumber yard at Front and N streets
yesterday afternoon and stretched
himself on the soft side of plank for
a refreshing sleep. George took a bed
in the lumber yard because he was not
particulars concerning quarters and
was soon in the midst of pleasant
dreams
1t was late when the sleeper awoke,
and when he did so he had difficulty in
finding mode of egress. The propri-
etor of the lumber yard is careful
man, and always closes the gates after
the days sales have been made. Where
Headly had entered there was frown-
ing wall, and he wanted to get out. He
turned from the gates and saw before
him a light. He walked toward the
light, and a moment later surprised
himself and several other persons by
walking into the parlor of a private
residence where the family was as
sembed
The ladies of the family cried Burg
lar! and George Headly beat a re-
treat. He, however became confused,
and instead of getting out of the door
he had entered he got into a closet
from which there was no egress. The
gentleman Of the house lost no time in
closing and locking the door and ring
ing up the patrol wagon.
When Officer Ash arrived at the
scene and released Headly, the latter
seemed too dazed to do anything but
inquire where he was at. He was
given bunk in the City Prison for the
rest of the night, and will try to ex-
plain matters to Judge Davis this
morning

FATAL RESULT.
Death of John McCrea, Who Was
Shot by Deputy Sheriff Fisher.

John McCrea died at the County Hos
pital yesterday from the effects of the
wound he received while endeavoring to
overpower Deputy Sheriff Max P. Fish
er, who had arrested him for various
burglarieS.
McCrea was found in hiding in the
Yolo willows, and after Fisher had
placed him under arrest he attacked
the officer and choked him, being
more powerful man than Fisher The
latter had refrained from using his
pistol, though he had it in his hand,
and McCrea got hold of it and endeav-
ored to disarm him.
AS the men We're struggling for the
weapon it was discharged the bullet
entering McCrea's side. Fisher came
to town for assistance and had McCrea
brought here and his wound dressed.
Everything possible was done to save
his life, but the wound was a mortal
one
An old man named Hines, who knew
McCrea, witnessed the arrest and the
struggle between Fisher and his pris-
oner, and has been detained as a wit
ness. He corroborates the story told
by Fisher McCrea tried to induce Hines
to take Fishers pistol away from him
and shoot the officer
As Fisher clearly acted in defense of
his own life, it is not likely any charge
viii be made against him.

CASE DISMISSED.
Magdalena Artz Will Hold the Prop
erty Decided to Her.

Judge Johnson yesterday dismissed
the case of O. E. Pueschel and others
against Magdalena Artz.
August Pueschel, uncle of the plain
tiff, it is stated, owned a restaurant in
this city and other property. He
boarded in the house of defendant and
was taken sick there. She and her
daughter took charge of the restaurant
and conducted it for a year, turning
the receipts over to him regularly each
week and charging him nothing for
their services. He told her he wished
in consideration of her services, and
care of him, that she should have the
restaurant when he died and he there
fore decided it to her. the nephew
brought suit to have the deed set aside,
on the ground that no consideration
had been given for the property.

A Socialists View.

Eds. Record Union: see by this
mornings Union" that the merchants
have had grand meeting opposing the
department stores. Being a small
business man myself in a way at pres
ent, and having attained to this posi-
ton only short time from the walks
OF labor, l think that / am more capa-
bic of judging the conditions than
either working man that never did
anything but labor, or a business man
that never did anything else-far re-
moved from labor.
1t strikes me very curious that when
the laborer (by this l mean all kinds
of labor which is physical or mentaD,
when machine comes along to dis
place them the business men claim we
need no legislation; that ii Qabor) will
adjust itself; that to legislate would be
paternalism. But how quick they want
10 Iegislate when a machine in the
shape of a department store displaces
them. No paternalism about that that
cannot adjust itself Methinks they
mad better take the advice themselves
that they have been so liberal in Civ
ing to the laboring man-to be more
economical and 10 study something
new. There is always a great demand
Tor something new. you know. and any
body that has any brains at all can
discover something new, and l suggest
that they a1l-the business people I
mean-will go and do this thing them
selves, for there is certainly oceans of
room, and they must certainly have
the brains. or they could not be so
1oollsh TO claim that others had 1t, and
that 1t was only their Incidence that
they did not use it and discover some
thing new the same as the party had
done that invented the machine.
Now l suggest that the small mer-
chants discover something superior to
the department store Let them take
their own medicine. If they cannot do
this. send them TO Napa or drive them
out of the city as idlers and Migrants.
Tor this is the action these people have
taken in regard to men that have all
ready been driven to the wall by the
very system which they uphold them
selves, only it had not reached them
quite yet.

Won ARNOLD Is HEARD FROM.
A DISPATCH From the Woman Whom he
Deceived.
She Says She Wants to Have the
Bogus Baron Brought
Back.

The Won Turkheim romance is once
more before the public eye, says the
San Francisco Post" of last evening.
This revival of interest is due to the
receipt of a cable alleging to come
from the bogus Barons wife asking for
financial assistance and the arrest of
her husband
Although upon it's receipt no ques-
tion was advanced as to its genuine
ness, the lapse of a few hours has de-
veloped a good deal of skepticism as to
who is the real author of the dispatch
and the apparent object of the same.
The following is a copy of the cable:
LONDON, May 9, 1S97.-Chief of Po-
lice. San Francisco: Discovered proofs
of Delmas' villainy Now at Hotel Ce-
Gil, London. Turkheim intends leaving
early Tomorrow Tell friends. Wish
for immediate return. No money. Can
you have Arnold, alias Won Turkheim,
extradited to Frisco? Has valuable
papers Fair case in his possession. Ca
BILE me care American Embassy.
JEANNE Won TURKHEIM.
The friends of Baroness" Won Turk
helm are somewhat at a loss to under
stand that this first message that the
to Won Turkheim should be sent to
Chief Lees, and that none of her own
friends should receive any communica-
tion from her.
Another thing which seems peculiar
about the cable is that the brother of
the married woman, ]. F. Young, who
accompanied the couple to Europe for
the purpose of determining whether
hD OF CT
not be heard from.
1t is a well-known fact that he car
ried with him ample funds, and if his
sister were DESTROYS of an immediate
return here it seems safe to assume
that he would be in a position to eX
tend her the necessary aid as apparent
ly the sole object Of his visit abroad
was to protect the interests of Baron
ess' Won Turkheim.
Won Arnold, who is recognized as one
Of the cleverest of swindlers, is known
to be short of funds and the theory is
advanced that in his desire to execute
a flank movement he may have sent
the cable with the view of raising
money with which to get away from
his Wife
The mere fact that the answer was
to be sent in care of the American En-
bassy is nothing in Won Arnolds favor
as he could easily call at the Embassy
and secure a letter or telegram adj
dressed to his wife.
Attorney Hutton, who is recognized
ly the friend and adviser of the Bar
oness" Won Turkheim, does not at
tach sufficient Importance to the cable
TO take any action in the matter.
THE cable may or may not be gen.
uine," he said. but one thing is GER
tain-it will not cause me to take any
action whatever in the matter. I am
waiting for light on this complicated
affair. and when 1 know just where
Jeanette Young Won Turkheim stands
in the matter 1 will then take some de-
cided action in the affair."

Nothing to Indicate That rlichae
Haley Was Murdered.

DR.. F. NJ. Reith yesterday held an
autopsy on the remains of Michael
Haley, who mysteriously disappeared
a week ago Saturday and whose body
was found floating in the river on Sun
day morning. The autopsy showed
that death resulted from drowning, and
that the body was free from any
bruises, except a slight abrasion on the
brow and nose
Officer Pennish, working under in
structions from Chief Drew, had ar
rested two men on suspicion of having
murdered and robbed Haley, but the
result Of the autopsy seemed conclu-
sive as to the former theory at least
and as the evidence was not sufficient
to warrant a charge of robbery, the
men were promptly released
There seems to be no doubt that the
drowning was a simple case Of suicide.

HABITS.
Some Have Them, and Others Are Not
Without.

A man likes some hot drink for break
fast, and coffee suits his taste about
as we'll as anything. 1t seems hard
that so many should be denied coffee
because it upsets their liver and dis
agrees with them in one way and an
other; still this condition does exist
and when man finds it hurts him he
is generally sensible enough to leave
it out of his bill of fare, for it is quite
bit pleasanter to feel we'll all day
than to enjoy a drug two or three min
utes and pay for it in aches and ais
or sickness.

Coffee goes to work in downright good

This tOothsome drink goes about three
times as far as coffee and produces
health and comfort where trouble form
erly existed. 1t is made by the Postum
Cereal Company. Limited, of Battle
Creek, Mich. When a man or woman
feels mean" day after day or every
few days, it can quite safely be charged
to incorrect habits, and coffee and tea
drinking are the real cause of more
bodily disorder than any one knows A
habit is hard to get over but when a
delicious tasting article is offered which
produces health instead of tearing il
down, the change is easy to make.
Prominent grocers say it exactly meets
q want, and persons who have been
kept from coffee on account of their
health are now having all the enjoy
ment Of coffee drinking and getting fat
over it.
Just as good as Postum Cereal are
words used to defraud the public.

tiCe Henry Yesterday.

George H. Smith, the colored man
who was convicted of obtaining money
under false pretenses from Charles
Heisen, appeared for sentence before
Justice Henry yesterday at l p. m.
Attorney Clayton, his counsel. moved
an arrest Of judgment on the ground
that the complaint was defective in sew
eral particulars, but the court denied
the motion, and Clayton moved for a
new trial on the ground of errors by the
court, and this motion was also de-
MED.
r. NJ. CIarken, also of defendants
counsel, made a strong plea for lenien-
cy, stating that the prisoner had never
been convicted before.
Justice Henry said Smith had had
three trials and had been found guilty.
He proposed to make the punishment
neither farce or too severe He
would therefore impose a fine of $50
with the alternative of one day in jail
for every dollar.
