The San Francisco call., 1899-02-12

DR.. Green he used his influence with the
young medico's mother to prejudice her
against the girl and persuade her to step
in and break up the match. This story,
coming on the eve of DR.. Sanders we'd
ding to Miss Ruth Gutenberg, has given
the gossips one of the most delectable
morsels they have had to roll on their
tongues for many day.
Miss Roebke was formerly maid In DR..
Sanders establishment. She looked after
the comfort of his lady patients
It was while occupying this position
that the doctor is said to have discovered
a warm spot in his heart for the beautiful
brunette. 1t became public property that
she reciprocated his affections, and all
was ''as merry as a marriage bell until
young Jacob S. Green appeared on the
scene. He had just become possessed of
the idea that he wanted to study medicine
and DR.. Sander undertook to help him
along in his chosen profession by employ
ing him in his laboratory.
That was the mistake of the doctor S
life, If he was really serious in his atten-
tions to Miss Roebke 1t was the begin
ming of the end of whatever bond of af-
fection that might have existed between
maid and the conquest was as easy as
Dewey's victory at Manila. Shortly after,
without any ceremony, DR.. Sander dis
charged both of his employees and his
friends noticed that his subsequent ac-
tions resembled those of a man who had
been crossed in love.
Miss Elsie Roebke says the doctor has
played the dog in the manger part in the
little romance, and that when he failed to
win the love of her sister he vowed she
would never marry the doctor of her
choice. She blames DR.. Sander for Mrs.
Green's opposition to the match, and de-
clares he is Just too mean for anything"
to interfere.
When seen to-day DR.. Sander readily ad-
mitted that both Miss Amanda Roebke
and DR.. Green had been in his employ,
but quite natural with a gentleman on the
eve Of his wedding to another lady he was
10th to admit that his feeling for Miss
Roebke had been other than one of friend
shiR; !lRevbsn sb. wa. first engaged in NV Of
fee" said DR.. Sander, 'she put in most
of her time receiving her young gentle
men friends. She had so many callers
that 1 was forced to tell her that she
would have to entertain her acquaint-
hours. Young Green was among her vis-
itors. l took a fancy to him and gave
him permission to call whenever he felt
so disposed. Later ! gave him a position
covered that he and Miss Roebke were
so obstreperous in their affections that
advised them that If they wished to re-
main In my employ they would have TO
do their billing and cooling after office
hours. I can't say that was ever in love
with the girl or that l felt like commit
ting suicide when young Green won her"
DIR. ]. s. Green recently graduated from
the Cooper Medical, College and has re-
ceived the appointment of surgeon of the
steamer City of Panama. He is now on
his way TO Acapulco to enter upon the
duties of his new position. At his request
Miss Roebke did not announce their en-
gagement until after he had passed be-
yond the Golden Gate on his way south.
The reason given was that the young
fnedico was afraid of the wrath of his
mother, and wanted to be beyond the
reach Of scolding. Mrs. Green denied
that her son was engaged and stated that
the difference in religion was an impene-
trable barrier between the young people.
Miss Roebke has sought to settle the
question by writing to her lover at Aca-
Confirming the truth of their betrothal.
The young lady has been prostrated with
grief over the unpleasant notoriety she
has received
