S. w. Rowley the well-known
cigar manufacturer OF San Mateo
was in the city Wednesday with a
line of samples. He reports an eX-
cellent trade for his goods in east
coast towns, a section of the state
from which he is just returning.
The San Mateo cigar took everything
in the way of premiums at the two
recent state fairs.
Jesse r. Burtz, city editor of the
Gainesville Sun, and one of the best
known and most popular newspaper
men in the whole state was a visitor
in the city last Friday. During his
temporary absence from his post the
Sun didn't shine with its usual sapo-
Ito brilliancy and Editor McCreary
made as his explanation the fact that
"never-sleeps" was in Palatka on
mission of grave import to its people.
Alderman Thos. o. Livingston has
purchased the retail business of E.
Windisch on Lemon street and will
add greatly to the stock. Mr.. Liv
ingston has not resigned his position
as baggage master at the Union depot
but is away on leave of absence.
Should his new business pan out as
well as his hopes he will resign and
give his entire time to it-otherwise
he will return to his old Job and run
his business by proxy.
Rev. D. J. Cobb, colored "locust"
persuasion, and whose home is at
Pomona, has been held by Judge M.
I. Coke for trial in the circuit court
on the charge of rape. This clerical
beast criminally assaulted the little
seven year old daughter of Jas. L.
Gary, a reputable colored man of Pc.
mona, last Sunday, and the victim is
in critical condition. Sheriff Howell
went to Pomona on Monday and AZ
rested the Reverend" Cobb. 1t
was not until after the arrest that
his crime became generally known
among the negroes of Pomona. Then
they held ii meeting and decided to
lynch him in case he was turned
loose by the court.
The schooner r. T. Rundlet of the
Baltimore and Palatka Packet Line,
arrived here on Tuesday and dis
charged it's cargo of freight at Mer-
ryday's wharf. The cargo was large
but not so large as had been antici-
pated from the fact that another line
secured much of the freight designed
for the Rundlet through the cOnni-
vance of brokers in Baltimore. The
freight thus tricked from the Rund-
let's captain will arrive by way of
Jacksonville, and local dealers who
are expecting it will pay local rates
from there. To avoid this in future
Col. de Montmollin, agent for the
line, will secure the sevices of a
special broker to look after all
freight consignments in Baltimore.
The Rundlet will carry an outgoing
cargo of shingles from Tilghman &
Sons.

PASTOR SPEAKS
FAREWELL WORDS
Before Large Congrega-
tion DR.. Woods Ap-
peals to Youth.
Divine's Next Sermon to Be
Preached in Far Off
New Jersey.

The Rev. DR.. E. A. Woods preached his
farewell sermon before the congregation
of the First Baptist Church last evening.
The sacred ediflce was crowded with wor-
shippers and the prevailing feeling chat the
pastor was to leave his friends Of years
standing made the occasion one of undis-
guised regret DR.. Woods made no allu-
sion to his forthcoming departure in his
sermon. 1t was address principally to
the youth of the fold and was founded on
First Corinthians, 16:13-"Quit you like
men; be strong"
DR.. Woods said those words should ring
in the ears of every young man. true
man, he said, was the real image of God.
Man should be greater than his profession
or business. 1t should not be Mr.. Smith
the lawyer, but Mr.. Smith ''the man." 1t
should not be Mr.. Brown the contractor,
but "Mr. Brown the man" In President
Roosevelt they saw the man in everything
he had accomplished from his boyhood
1t was "the man" that was needed and
the youth the young man of the city,
should heed that fact. He begged the
young men to keep their bodies strong and
pure and clean. In every man, he said,
there were so many FACULTIES and each
had its place. God had given them the
faculties and it was for them in turn to
God he said, designed conscience, and
moral conscience should keep all the fac
ulties in their right station. He denounced
the ambition which made for the accumu-
lation Of wealth alone, and showed how
selfish were those who took happiness
from the misfortunes Of the less fortunate
and condemned the man who enjoyed hap
piness alone. AS for pleasures he denied
that God or religion intended that man
should worship with long face"
God said the pastor, wished that people
should be happy. He had made the birds
happy and the flowers were happy and the
birds song reached the heavens and in
that way man was expected to be joyous.
He would say that nothing paid so badly
as sinful pleasure, for in the event of such
pleasures the soul was marked and
SCARED and the freshness and beauty of
youth were stained. He begged that
young men when finding themselves doing
wrong would stop and turn around to the
right path, and, like Paul, they could say
when their last day came, II have fought
a good fight" In conclusion DR.. Woods
said ''scoffers are forgotten, but the work
done for God dieth not"
This evening there will be farewell re-
ception to DR.. Woods at the church. and
Tomorrow morning he will leave for the
East. Next Sunday the Rev. DR.. Woods
will preach his first sermon at Somerville,

LOSS Of MONEY
CAUSES SUICIDE
Young Woman Found
Dead in Bed With the
Gas Turned On.
Miss Seraphina Teahtanien
Invests Her Saving I'm
proftably.

Miss Seraphina Teahtanien, known
as Seraphina Star to her friends.
is the latest victim of carbon
monoxide. She was found dead in
her room in the lodging house Of D. E.
Gleason. 561 Harrison street, yesterday
morning, with the gas turned on full. 1t
was clearly a case of suicide. as she had
been very respondent of late and had
been wishing that she were dead.
About o'clock yesterday morning Miss
Esther Dudy, another roomer in the
house, smelled the odor of gas and no
uhed Gleason, who forced open Miss
Teahtaniens door and found her in bed
unconscious. He ran to a drug store on
the corner Of First and Folsom streets
and telephoned to DIR. Connolly, who hur-
rled to the house and pronounced life eX-
tlnct The body was removed to the
Morgue.
Miss Teahtanien was 2S years Of age, a
native of Finland and came to this city
about two years ago, getting employment
as a domestic. She saved $500, which she
invested in a lodging-hou at 81 Stanley
place with a friend, Miss Matilda Melani
cut they could not get along together aud
the venture did not prove a success.
Since then she has been very respondent
and frequently told Mrs. Olga PilIman
AS Harrison street, who came to this
country with her from Finland seven
years ago. that she was tired of life.
Both Detective Mulcahy and Deputy
Coroner Brown, who investigated the mat
ter, came to the conclusion that it was
evidently a case of suicide. A bottle
nlled with carbolic acid was found in her
room and 1t is thought she had purchased
1t with the intention of swallowing it. but
preferred death by gas.

MRS. DANERI IS ACCUSED
UNJUsTLY OF DRUNKENNESS
Similarity in Appearance to Another
Woman Causes Mistakes by
the Police.

An article appeared in The Call yes
terady morning which did injustice to
Mrs. Gene Daneri, the woman whose tes-
timony caused the removal from the po-
Ice force of Patrick Sullivan.
Technically Sullivan was dismissed for
being asleep while on duty but he was
also found guilty on the charges preferred
by Mrs. Daneri.
The article stated that Mrs. Daneri was
arrested for being drunk, which was not
soJ The mistake arose from great sim
ilarity in appearance between Mrs. Dan
eri and a woman named Nora Walsh, who
was taken into custody on the charge
mentioned.
Mrs. Daneri says she does not use
liquor. At present she is employed as
clerk in a store.

California Welcomes Roosevelt.

Redlands. Cal, May president
Roosevelt and his party today had
their first taste of the hospitality of
California. Governor Pardee and the
California congressional delegation
met the president here in the beautiful
San Bernardino valley, at 9 o'clock
this morning and welcomed him to the
state. 1t was here that the president
got his first idea of the wonderful
treat that awaited him. Through an
avenue lined with palms and Venetian
masts he drove over beds of roses, be-
meath triumphial arch of flowers
and fruit to the Casa Iona hotel, on
the balcony of which the exercises
took place. A short drive through the
orange groves and parks followed. All
along the route of the drive women
showered the president and his party
with flowers and through the streets
they bombarded him from windows un-
til the air was a perfect maze of col
or. After three pleasant hours spent
here the president special, accompan-
led by the California party, resumed
the journey 20 Los Angeles. Brief
stops are scheduled en- route at San
Bernardino and Riverside.

San Francisco Prepares.

San Francisco, May 7.-San Francis
co is making the most elaborate ar
rangements for the reception and en-
tertainment of President Roosevelt
next week. The program in some re-
spects will resemble that carried out
at the time of the late President Nc
hinley's visit. The latter, however.
came to attend the launching of the
battleship Ohio, and this event was
necessarily the chief feature Of the
program. With the visit of President
Roosevelt the case is different, and
the entire time of his stay in the city
will be given over to features of en-
tertainment From preparations now
in progress 1t is safe to assert that the
city will be illuminated as never be-
fore. Great arches of artistic design
will span the chief thoroughfares of
the business district and the streets
everywhere will be strung with vari-
colored electric bulbs.
There will be a military parade on a
gigantic scale and a big reception so
that all may see the president On
Wednesday the speech to the people of
California will be given and the occa-
sion will be marked by a. magnificent
display of fireworks. The Grand Army
Will hold their annual encampment
here during the week This will bring
many visitors to the city from various
parts OF California and Nevada. Pas
senger officials Of the railroads fore
cast sne of the largest crowds ever
entertained in San Francisco.

DISTRICT COURT.
Several important Cases Disposed Of
by the Court.
ONE DIVORCE GRANTED.

The district court was again in ses-
sion this morning and some little
work was ground out.
Judgment for 1878 was rendered
against the defendant in the case OF
nIeld & Co. VS.. Nicholas Zamora
upon a promissory note.
The case of r. del Vale against his
wife was tried. He wanted a divorce
and possession of their four-year-old
boy. The ground set up was aban-
donment. The plaintiff said he had
provided for his wife as a dutiful
husband should, and that he was q
proper person to have the possession
of the boy. His wife denied that he
was a fit person to have possession
of the boy. There was not much
contention on the question of divorce
the main fight between the parties was
for the possession of the boy. r. del
Vale said his wife treated the boy
cruelty, whipping him until he was
black and blue; that she had no love
for him and that she had no means
to support him. To establish his
ability to support the child he gave in
evidence the fact that he had three
children by a former marriage re-
siding in the City of Mexico. But on
cross examination the fact was brought
out that these three children were
kept in an orphan asylum. The wife
showed by a number of witnesses that
she was a proper person to care for
her child, and that her ability as a
dressmaker was sufficient to take
care and maintain it. Judge Baker
granted the divorce and gave the
