MISTRESS AND MAID.
The ServaL'. Trouble is Largely Due to
the Inefficiency of the Housewife.

I ;haVe always believed thoroughly
that the bottom of much Of the serv-
ant trouble lies in the inefficiency Of
the average housewife" writes Helen
WattersOn Moody in the April Ladies'
Home Journal. How is it possible that
an ignorant servant, though willing,
should become capable, except through
such training as a skilled mistress can
give her, or how can most efficient
maid live up to her own ideals under
mistress who, having no training and
therefore no standards of her own,
must be lacking in unders landing and
appreciation Of the work of others?
And yet if you ask almost any house
keeper 10 define a good servant she
Will tell you it is one who relieves her
from care and responsibility. What
would be thought of the head of a
banking house who estimated his en-
ployees solely according to their abili-
ity to relieve him Of the dlasies that
properly belong to himself? The

often follows the hot bath, which
proves how dangerous it is. If chill

Much depends upon the circulation,

MOrphY Turned Over 10 the
r1exiCan Officials.
Story of His Life and His Crime
Played the Races, LOST Forged
Check for $1,000 and FLED TO
the United States.

Kansas City, April 14.-United
States Commissioner Nuckolls decided
this afternoon that Santiago Morphy,
charged with embeznling $77 900 from
the National Bank of the City OF
Mexico. should he turned over 20 the
Mexican officials who came after him.
Santiago Morphy, alias Mexican
Murphy. alias George JoGrdan, is a
young Mexican who came from a
wealthy and distinguished family in
Mexico. He received an excellent edu-
cation in a good college, and was
given a good position in the Mexican
National bank Of Mexico City. There
his polished manners and his quick and
ready mind, as well as his family
name, brought him into the good
graces of his employers. He was ad-
vanced gradually to a position OF re
sponsibIity where he had the oppor-
tunity OF studying the details q the
banks business.
Morphy had inherited fortune; he
spent his money freely and soon got
into trouble in New Orleans and New
York, where he owned horses ana did
q great deal of betting His ventures
got him into financial difficulties and
forced l1.I to become an en5ezzleG.
This young Mexican was a good pen
man and one day in APPEL, 1898, wich
the help CI a friend, he forged a bank
deposisor's name to a check for $4,000
and had it cashed a short time before
the bank closed its doors for the day.
The following day was a holiday and
the bank did not Open. It was not IN
til the third day that the forgery was
discovered. By that time Santiago
Morphy had escaped to the United
States and was in hiding.
The young embezzler followed the
races all over the United States, be
ginning in New York city. In Neg
Orleans the police harmed of the you2E
plunger's identity and determined %
arrest him, but Morphy escaped then
and went to San Francisco. He was II
the Baldwin hotel the night il burned
and lost a large part of his money IN
The flames.
After the fire Morphy returned to
New Orleans, where Chiti Gas-er OF
the police department had him arrest
ed. Morphy's friends among the turf
men came to his relief and hired al
torneys to fight his extraditioa. After
a fight that lasted about three weeks
the United States courts decided Nor
ply must return to Mexico. Two Mex
lean oficers-a detective and jaiiaE-
took Morphy IN charge and started to
the train with him. But as the three
neared- the station a crowd of turfmen
surrounded the officers and assaulted
them SO vigorously they were Gorced to
let Morphy go. The little Mexican
tainted with fright, but his friends
carried him to a cab and drove off with
him. The sensational rescue excited
New Orleans for several days. Morphy
was not heard from until his capture in
Kansas City !ast week.

AT THE THEATERS.

The Wrong Mr.. Wright" is all right.
1t is one of the earlier Broadhurst farce
comedies, following the first. The Specu-
lator" ana preceding What Happened to
Jones' and why Smith Left Home,
and il was originally intended for mu-
steal comedy; but as it stands now in
presentation by Roland Reed, it is a thor
oughly good-natured and amusing piece.
The plot is thin and easy. A San Fran
cisco millionaire who has been robbed by
his cashier Of $4,000 offers a reward of
$1,000 and then assumes the name of
Wright and visits an Eastern watering
place in search of the fOrger. For the
millionaire is clCse-fsted and would earn
his own reward. The fugitive, too, it
seems, has assumed the name Of Wright;
and when the millionaire meets with
dashng young female detective who is
engaged in the case, she thinks that she
has her man beyond a doubt and sets
about capturing him in ways that are
additionally feminine Under the spell of
an attractive woman the misery million
aire develops into prodigious spender,
quite wins her heart while she still thinks
him to be the fugitive. and finally be-
comes her prisoner for life
Subsidiary characters who help along
the complication are a niece and a neph-
ew, the former a millionairess who for the
victim 5 sake exchanges positions with her
maid; an English lord who falls in love
with the disguised maid; and an American
officer who does as much for the mistress.
There are also a serious old gentleman of
comic intention and his spinster sister
Rather conventional most of these fig
ures, but Mr.. Broadhurst contrives to give
them an original twist now and then, and
his dialogue, as ever. is marked by
quick, clean humor that is incontestably
American.
In fact, the dialogue is the backbone Of
the piece. Some of the situations are en-
terprsing, but others, especially those
that climax the several acts, are not In
themselves notably effective. But the
lines are fresh and alert and sufficiently
surprising to keep the audience in happy
temper.
Mr. Reed Ike many of our best Ameri-
can comedians, does his best work in
middle-aged parts of unurban character,
and this time he finds good vent for his
positive personality and somewhat ora
torical mode of delivery in the role Of
the millionaire. Miss Isadore Rush, a
daringly slim young woman with typi-
cal farce-comedy voice and yellow
taste in clothes, gives a very poster-like
irnpersonation of the up-to-date detec-
tive. The others are, in the main, equal
to their obligations.
"Lost-diamonds" stories are nowadays
rejected even by the press agents But
here is one that / can youch for. Miss
Rush appeared without her Jewels in the
Columbia Theater last night. Early in
the day she deposited them in the safe at
her hotel When she called for them in
the evening it was to learn that the
cashier had gone 10 his Alameda home
taking with him the combination. But
even in the absence of these personal ef-
fects and accessories Miss Rush was still
spectacular. ASHTON STEVENS.

GOVERNOR GAGE UNDER
THE RAILROAD YOKE
His Conference With W. T. Herrin
Creates COmmOtiOn at
the Palace.
Friends of the Chief Executive Advised to Instruct
Him in the Duties and Responsibilities Of
His High Office in the State.

TINE flying visit of Governor Gage
to San Francisco has occasioned
widespread comment in this
l. city. Men of affairs were as
founded that the chief executive
of the State would so far forget the
dignity of his Office, and whatever self
respect he may possess, as willingly
and brazenly to submit himself pub
licly to the domination of an influence
that is notorious in its corruption
of public men. When Governor
Gage, hurriedly and secretly. en-
tered the Palace Hotel on Sunday af-
ternoon to meet William F. Herrin of
the Southern Pacific Company it was
impossible to misconstrue the purpose
of the Governors mission.
William F. Herrin occupies no official
station in California. He is not quail
fed either by authority or association
to be an adviser of the chief executive
of California. The chief of the law de-
partment of the Southern Pacific Com
pany is hired by powerful corpora
ton to manipulate public affairs and
influence public men. His advice is
sought by public men in secret and by
stealth, and Governor Gage stands ar
raigned as the first Governor Of Cali
fornia who has flown in the face Of
decent public opinion and Frustrated
himself before the representative and
agent of a corporation whose name is
a synonym for evil.
It is the boast of Governor Gage that
before he was elected Governor of Cali
fornia he never held public office. He
may be ignorant therefore of the policy
of public men He should learn that a
Governor of California does not tran
sact public business as a hunted fugi-
tive He should know that associated
with his high office is a dignity and a
responsibility to the people which his
predecessors have honored and OBJ
served. His friends should inform him
that a Governor of California who has
a reputation to lose does not take a
gambling blackleg for dictator and
railroad employe for a counselor.
Governor Gage should be told that
the Chief Executive of this State does
not welcome as a guard of honor in a
public hotel a horde of gamblers,
thieves, political roustabCuts and ras-
calls. Governors of California have not
been in the habit of having such men
in their train. They do not slip by
stealth into a public place to confer
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1899-04-25

with men whose counsel the people
condemn. They have not acted as if
they feared the law rather than con-
tributed to it's creation When they
have come to this city they have come
clothed with the dignity of their office
They have signed their names upon no
tel registers and have not winked a
clerk into secrecy concerning their
presence.
They have secured, where they stop
ped, local habitation and a name, and
have not sneaked to a secret rendez-
vous for a secret conference upon af-
fairs of public moment. When they ate
they have not swelled themselves with
pompous Importance and conceived the
thought that their digestion was a
secret process of state to be set in
operation through the medium of a
hotel speaking tube.
They have not shamelessly sought
the personal and direct dictation of
men who are known to lll-fame be-
cause they buy public officers. Gov
errors of California have not, when
they contemplated the appointment of
United States Senators, sought the
bOu4IoCI VI IIlC hOOull4Clli L clNlllC COlli-
pany. Nor have Governors of Califor-
MIA who preceded Governor Gage skunk
from a hotel by a secret stairway to
avoid the detection of an act that
merited public condemnation. Gov
ernor Gage has said that his admins
tration will speak for itself. He for
got to say what words would be spok-
en-. They may be an appeal to high
heaven before Governor Gage is rele-
gated to private life.
The Governors visit to the city and
his conference with William F. Herrin
raised a commotion at the Palace Ho-
tel. Governor Gage went to Herrin to
be instructed in reference to the Sena-
tOrial situation. The instructions were
given and Gage received full cOnfirma-
ton of his understanding that the
Southern Pacific Company, through
him, will appoint D. NJ. Burns United
States Senator at the proper time.
Gage has neither made the appoint
ment nor has he said so. The people
of California understand what he will
do when the time comes. He will do as
he did on Sunday, permit himself to be
submitted to the indignity of an asso-
citation that condemns him, dishonors
the high station he occupies and sub
jects the State to the contempt and de-
rision of the nation.
