THE WRONG WOMAN
Frederick Belasco's Prospective Bride
Is Not Gertrude Foster

That the San Francisco Call is as unre-
liable a source of information on the local
affairs of the city in which it is published
as 1t is for those of Los Angeles is shown
by an item of theatrical news that ap-
peared in recent issue. The Call says
IA romance Of the stage cropped out yes
terday when Frederick Belasco, the actor
and teacher of dramatic art, took out IL
cense to marry Miss Sara ]. Lewis, who
is better known to the San Francisco
theater-going public under the name of
Gertrude Foster"
A Herald reporter called on Mrs. Clara
M. Mott, Miss Fosters mother, yesterday,
and showed her the clipping from the
Call. Mrs. Mott was very much surprised
at the information, but pronounced it un-
doubtedly mistake, and one which she
was at loss to explain. She received a
card from her daughter yesterday morning.
which said she was we'll, but unusually
busy, as she had appeared at two extra
matinees this week, in addition to her reg
ular work, but not q word of marriage
with anyone. Gertrude Foster has never
had any other name than the one she
bears, and If her mothers desires are re-
spected, she will have no other until her
career as an actress is assured. She has
been exceptionally successful in all the
roles assumed as leading lady in the AL
cazar theater, Of which Mr.. Belasco Is
manager and is devoting herself wholly
to study, ambitions and hopeful of
achieving distinction in her chosen profess
sion, for which she has marked talent.

COOKING LESSONS
Remedy Suggested for Intemperance
and Other Evils

Washington-Much of the prevailing in
temperance in the crowded parts of great
cities can be traced to poor food and an
unattractive table. This is the statement
made in the report of the department of
agriculture on Dietary Studies in New
York City," The report was prepared by
Prof. w. o. Atwater and Prof c. d.
Woods, under whose immediate directions
the Investigations were conducted, with
the cooperation of the New York Associa-
tion for the Improvement Of the Poor The
general plan of inquiry consisted in visit
ing number of typical families in the
worst congested portions Of the city, OBJ
serving the kinds and amounts of foods
which they bought and prices which they
paid, noting whether they obtained good
weight and measure, and subjecting speci-
mems of the food materials to analysis for
the purpose of learning their nutritive
values
Little comprehension was shown, the re-
port says, of the actual nutritive value of
food purchased, the selection apparently
being made according to some whim or
taste, the presence of certain food mate
rials in the market, or because the house
keeper had become accustomed to pur-
chasing certain kinds of food.
The remedy suggested is that object les
sons be given in the poorer quarters on the
preparation of attractive, yet simple and
cheap foods. These lessons should include
instruction on the nutritive value of diff
ferent articles, and those best adapted to
varying conditions of the family.

ARMY CIRCLES ARE EXCITED
BY MERRITT'S INSPECTION OF
COAST DEFENSES
The Work on Southern Fortifications
Is Not Progressing With Alto
gether Satisfactory Speed

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.-The World
says:
Major General Merritt, in command Of
the Eastern department of the army, will
start on a tour of inspection Of the
southern Notifications before the end
of the week. 1t was his original inten-
ton to leave Governors Island today
for New Orleans, but at midnight it was
generally understood that he would not
be able to start for a day or two.
This sudden move on the part of Cen
eral Merritt, following so closely on the
recent order of General Miles relative to
the absolute necessity Of complaining the
new works of defense a the Notifications
throughout the country, has created quite
sensation in army circles. Ostensibly
he Is going on his annual tour of in
spection. but at the island, Fort Wads-
worth and Fort Hamilton, it is under
stood that his mission is of far greater
Importance than the regulation visit to
the stations under his command. 1t is
believed that the work on the new ord
nance of the southern Notifications has
not been going on with sufficient rapid
ity to satisfy either General Miles or
General Merritt. At the new works at
Fort Hamilton of the four new guns only
three are now in position. Fort Wads-
worth has Jared more fortunately.
Another development which has a di-
rect bearing on General Merritt's de-
parture is the artillery bill which yes
terday passed the Senate. This bill pro-
vides for the maintaining of two more
artillery regiments. 1t is the intention
of General Merritt to have one of these
quartered at Sandy Hook. The other
will. in all probability, be distributed
among the various posts along the At
lantic Coast.
When General Miles sent word to Gem
eral Merritt relative to the necessity of
getting all available ordnance ready for
immediate use, he especially referred to
the work under way at Forts Hamilton
and Wadsworth. These posts are of the
greatest Importance and practically con-
troll the channel and the lower bay.
Their works will all be personally in
spected by General Merritt in the near
future.
1t Is General Merritt's intention to visit
New Orleans and inspect Fort Philip
and Fort Jackson. The other forts that
General Merritt will visit are at Mobile,
Charleston, Galveston, Savannah, Pen
sacola and Key West.

A CORRUGATED IRON FENCE
RESULT OF A NEIGHBORHOoD
QUARREL ON FLOWER ST.
Mrs. Wannop Did Not Like the Ac-
tions Of Mr.. Cohn's Children and
Took Retaliatory Steps

At least two well known families, both
of whom have lived side by side on Flower
street, near Fourteenth, have either never
heard of, or, having heard. wholly dis
regarded the well known Scriptural in
junction which makes the loving of a
neighbor as ones self condition upon
which eternal life is promised. Persons
who have traversed that block since
Monday may have marveled at the sight of
an unsightly corrugated iron fence twenty
or more feet high standing on vacant lot
and running the beauty of an otherwise
pretty residence block. That fence is a
mute witness to neighborhood quarrel.
Albert Cohn, the grocer, at 215, 217 and
2l9 Main street, has just completed fine
ten-room dwelling at 1925 South Flower
street
The vacant lot on the north of Mr.. Cohn's
residence is owned by Mrs. Wannop, wife
of Joseph Wannop, the First street
printer.
For some time there has existed consid-
cradle ill feeling between the two families
occasioned by Mr.. Cohn's offspring, whose

ciety, stating that the invitation from the

American Exposition company, Buffalo, N.
Y, with reference to the chamber making
an exhibit there in 1899, was read, and was
referred to the committee on immlgra-
tion.

military post in this vicinity, and also the
return Of the army headquarters removed
from this city in 1895; and,

a region about 600 miles wide by 800 miles
long: and
whereas, Observing stations distributed
throughout this region are an absolute me-
cessity to the making of intelligent fore
casts by the official here. and would in
crease materially their accuracy and ex
tent of period covered and consequently
their value to the producers of our section;
therefore, be 1t
"Resolved, That our senators and repre-
sentatives in congress be and they are
hereby requested to use their best en-

STILL IN ABEYANCE
Oil Drillers May Not Yet Bore in the
Park Tract

| Notwithstanding the fact that Chief
Moore reported favorably upon the petit
ton of Nettleton & Killerman to bore for
oil in block 8 of the Park tract, the fire
commissioners yesterday decided to go slow
and investigate further before granting the
desired permission When first presented
the application drew forth host of pro-
testants, many of whom have since with
drawn their opposition Not all have been
won over, however, and a number were
on hand to voice their grievances when
the matter was taken up. To save time and
trouble it was decided to refer the mat
ter to committee consisting of Messrs.
Wells and Kuhrts. The committee an
nounced that 1t would hear all parties on
Tuesday next at 2 o'clock in the office Of
the fire department.
Upon the result of their report to the
commission much depends, as another pc
tition was filed yesterday signed by twelve
property owners in the block, each asking
for permission to sink an oil well. If per-
missioHiis given to Nettleton & Kellerman
1t will necessarily carry with it similar
grant to all others in the same block.
Permission was, granted Austyn Gran
vile to erect smelter on land lying be-
tween Truman and Lecouvreur streets the
Santa Fe tracks and the bed of the Ar
royo Seco.
The petition of M. Fussich to erect a fur
mace at the corner of Lazard and Center
streets was granted.
Boiler Inspector Dahl reported the result
of his recent examination of engine No.
l. pointing out the weak places in the
boiler, but stating that the boiler had stood
the test well and was good for much further
service.
A protest was received from residents In
the block bounded by First and Second
streets, Beaudry avenue and Fremont
street against the erection of a boiler at
the corner of Beaudry avenue and Second
street.
Applications for permission to bore for
oil were received as follows: From Milwau-
kee OIL company to bore on lot As, block 5,
Beaudry tract; Combination Oil company,
to bore in block SO. Angelina Heights tract
and the Yukon Oil company to bore in
block F Of the Hays tract. All were re-
ferred to the chief for Investigation.
