SAD CASE OF INSANITY. Mrs. Allie Ogilvie Sent to the Asy lum at Napa the Second Time

Mrs. Allie Ogilve, niece of the late pr. Luke Robinson, who resided at the Fair mount Hotel, was committed to the asy- lum for the insane at Napa yesterday. The case of Mrs. Ogilvie is in many re- spects a sad one. She imagines that she Is the victim of a conspiracy to get her out of the way, and in the strange con- dition of her mind her suffering Is as intense as though enemies were in fact plotting against her liberty and her life
 When told that she had been committed the patient wept bitterly and protested against the action of the Insanity Com missioners. Mrs. Ogilvie has been in the asylum before, and 1t is now thought that her delusion will result in a com plete breaking down of her mind. and will forbid her release during this life

SUGGESTIONS
 OF INTEREST.
A Hotel Mans Ideas-Fraternal and Other Societies Should
 Participate.

EDWARD HOLLAND, proprietor of the Commercial Hotel-The prelimin- ary course of The Call has been of in- estimable value in promoting the hold ing of an exposition in 1900 commence rative of the semi-centennial of the ad- mission of California into the Union. l fully agree that the proposed plan of making the exposition grand affair is the best way of marking the flftieth milestone in the history of the State.
 I would suggest that the Governor of the State be called upon to issue invitations to the Mayors of the diff ferent cities in California and also the chairman of the Board of Supervisors of each county, they to meet in San Francisco for the purpose of formu- lating plans of organization.
 The scope of the exposition should take in the whole coast, but conducted under the patronage of the State of California and should be planned broad enough to be both non n-political and non-sectarian.
 I suggest further that all fraternal with, with a view of having them con- SlQer the dDVlSdDlllty or HxlnS the uate of holding their annual sessions to come within a period during which the exposition will be held. This would not only aid materially in attracting many people to the exposition, but would also give the different societies an opportunity to have special days at the fair in which to make demon strations representative of the society.
 To illustrate: The Masonic frater- nifty could have day, the Odd Fellows another day, the Knights of Pythias

PINCHED HER ARMS.

T. R. Simpson was arrested yesterday on a warrant charging him with battery. The complaining witness is his wife, Theresa, who alleges that on Sunday af- ternoon her husband met her on Geary street and insulted her by pinching her arms and almost tearing her cape from her shoulders. She had been married two years, but owing to her husbands con- duct she left him about two months ago and has since been living with her mother at S23 Pine street
 Simpson is son of the late Dr. James Simpson, and through his fathers death fell heir to considerable property. He de- nies the assault upon his wife, and says it is case of spitework He was released on his own recognizance by Judge Conlan.

Public interest is daily increasing in the proposed semi exposition to be held here in 1900 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of the admission of California into the Union. The pro- position meets with general approval for no one can dispute the fact that an exhibition of our products and resources would prove of great value, not only to California, but to all the coast States. We have already received assurances of aid from neighboring States; the latest one to add words of encourage ment being Governor Lord of Oregon. A letter received from his private sec retary yesterday assures California of his best wishes for success.
 There is no time to lose in getting down to the preliminary work, for a year and a half is not any too long to make the exposition success. It will first be necessary to have a committee appointed to map out plans for carry ing out the project. Mayor Phelan says that he will appoint such a com mittee when he is certain that the men he will appoint will enter into the movement with spirit and not 1GIl6T uullI Iue GApOSIlIOil l5 made a success The committee can be enlarged from time to time as the work progresses, so as to not throw too much responsibility on the shoulders of a few.
 Governor Budd will also be asked to appoint a committee of prominent busi- ness men from the several counties of the State, so that there will be a work ing body in each county. An appeal to the next State Legislature for an ap- propriation would undoubtedly meet with a prompt and hearty response. There is no reason why the semi-cen- tennial exposition should not be made a success and one worthy of the occa- sion it will commemorate.

hand that would be required to make the exposition a grand success. The fact that the Worlds Fair at Paris will also be held in 1900 should not in any way deter us from carrying out the project. Every one is in favor of the movement. and no time should be lost in getting ready for the event. A com mittee should be appointed within the next few days to take the matter in hand and arrange the preliminary de- tails. By concerted action we should be able to present an exposition that would make the semi anni- versary of California's admission into the Union a grand historical event.

And there is another scene in which a ship Is blown up that drives the audience into frenzy of applause Harry Mainhall is the Spanish villain this week, and his impersonation is complimented by many misses. Landers Stevens Is the good padre, and his speech about the freeing of Cuba is the signal for hearty applause.

It is little odd, these days, to see Stew ems in comedy role that Is not gro- tesque, for in the "Vice Admiral'' he suggests his younger days in the more legitimate comic operas. As Don Mira bolante he has not his usual monopoly. but quite enough for an admirable evil dence of versatility. Rafael and Tillie Salinger were especially acceptable to the audience.

WAR DEPARTMENT WEAK.
London Times Comments on Our
Military Administration.

London, June, n. a. m.-The Times, IL
an article reviewing this morning the OPP
erations In Cuba, says: THE cause for
the delay of Gen. Skaters expedition is,
doubtless, the wea kness of the military
administration al Washington.
The United States war office is almost
as badly constituted as our own, and the
Interesting "reminiscences of Gen. Schoheld
serve to explain the origin of many pres
ent difficulties
The British army, however, possesses
large number of trained and experienced
military officers. who are able to keep the
vicious machinery in motion, while the
United States has at present no CORE
spending alienation of bad system.
Scarcity of provisions and want or
transports win doubtless prevent the
spaniards from Offering the vigorous de-
tense at a distance from the main posi-
tion which they have had ample oppor-
tunity for strengthening, but the task be-
fore Gen. Shafter in moving and supply
ing his troops is sufficiently serious. This
task arises slowly out of the presence of
Admiral Cervera's squadron. No direct
military object viii be gained by the cap
ture of Santiago. which is remote from
and independent of the center of Spanish
power in Cuba. Upon Santiago, however,
the military energies of she United States
will now be concentrated and the operas
lions against Porto Rico and Havana must
be postponed"
With reference to the gathering of Ger
man vessels at Manila, the article says:
Whatever may be the aims of German
policy the mere threat of interference in
the Philippines would be likely to arouse
in the United States an irresistible senu-
ment in favor of annexation.
Admiral Dewey, when his reinforce
ments arrive, will be superior in force to
the German squadron. Although the
marked successes of the insurgents will
render so large a military force unneces-
sary for the capture of Manila, the present
circumstances require that the United
States should be strongly represented both
atioat and ashore in the Philippines. The
possibility of interference on the part of
the neutral powers is evidently cherished
at Madrid and provides encourage ment for
continuing an unequal contest"
In conclusion the article expresses the
opinion that Admiral Camara's object is
to land forces and stores at the Canaries
and then to return to Spain.
