The statement by Miss Audrey New
man, sister Of the Baroness Won Buren, of
Budapest, that Willie Clack is the father
of her child, that was born in London at
"a public hospital on February 10. 1896, is
stout-y denied by the Clack family of this
city. While ClaCk is down at Manila.
private in Company E of the First Cali
forn.a Volunteers, but his mother, Mrs.
ClacA, states that she heard rumors over
% year ago that Audrey Newman had
claimed that her son was the father Of the
little girl that is now over three years old.
Mrs. Clack states that she Immediately
had a long talk with her son and asked
him If the report were true, and that he
stoutly denied the report
Several young men, friends Of Clack,
were seen yesterday, and they state that
lie was no more attentive TO Miss New
man than the rest OF his companions and
that the young lady was both tickle and
fast. Willie Clack is the son of William
CiaCk, the owner Of the Hayes Valley
Advertiser. who held the position Of chief
deputy in the SheTi6s Office under r. l.
Whelan until the first Of the present year.
Willie helped his father in the newspaper
Office until the war broke out, when he
enlisted in Company E Of the First Cali
fornia Volunteers and went to Manila.
Mrs. Clack made the following statement
~ her residence, 102 Haight street, last
night:
Il have seen in the papers the state
meut Of Miss Audrey Newman that my
While is the father Of her child, but I do
not believe her. She may have a sister
that is Baroness Won Buren,, but that does
not make her any better. The Baroness
herself is a San Francisco girl, and has
very bad reputation, and as for this
Audrey, I have taken particular pains TO
Investigate her charges, and find that my
boy is innocent of wronging her. The
whole family are bad lot, and 1 have
no patience with them. If I thought my
boy had Wronged this Miss Audrey New
man, sister of the Baroness Won Buren,,
and that he was the father of the child,
would not rest until l had sent for the
child and brought her over to this coun-
try and adopted ii into my own family.
But l am sure the whole family are bad
lot. Why, only think, Willie is low just
o. and though he is no saint I am sure he
D.. would never think of doing this girl such
& cruel wrong as she claims he did. A
lad, a frier. Of W 4llie, dropped in to see
me tonight. and he said that he and all
the boys used TO so out with Audrey and
that she was a very wild girl. I am sorry
that this thing should have sprung up,
but now that it is out and my boy is
away fighting for his country, If I do not
denounce these impostors who will?'

fore the mornings services began the sun
shOne brightly and the ladies were par
ticularly happy. What with the clusters
of Easter lilies, llacs, roses, foliage and
palms that decorated the affairs of all the
churches and the spring hats of the fair
worshipers, the austere surroundings of
the sacred edifces were not noticeable
The musical programmes specially ar
ranged for the occasion by the various
choir leaders and the Importance of the
celebration had tendency to crowd all
the churches. AS early as half-past 10
o'clock the congregations were in their

sumed in observing decorations and cos

Father MacCorry proceeded to show how
God cared for the lilies and to draw the
conclusion that If his love so cherished
those flowers, it would also cherish and
guard those made in his image. Continu-
ing, the preacher painted several beauti-
full word pictures of floral associations at
the marriage altar and at the grave. He
said in conclusion:

Christ says to US, Consider the lilies of the
field" Let US measure them from petal to
root let us listen to the message; let US breathe
their fragrance; let US listen to the svery
voices from their white tops. The lilies are
the angels of the grass, the evangels of the
skies When the cataract speaks. it roars;
when the clouds speak. they thunder; when the
whrlwind speaks, it screams; but the lilies
when they speak, speak soft and sweet and
low. Then let us consider the lilies of the
field not for the sake of sentlmentality, but
for the sake of grand and holy and helpful
