THE SOCIAL GOSSIP
OF SAN FRANCISCO

San Francisco and Honolulu are so
near to each other since the cable has
come to be a matter of course, that it
is quite an every day affair to go to a
luncheon, or dinner, and hear the ques-
! ton of a summers outing planned for
Honolulu almost as unconcernedly as
| for Monterey.
| The San Francisco debutantes all
want to go to the Islands, for Lily
Spreckels has brought back glowing de-
scriptions of good times that has made
San Francisco gaiety appear dull and
monotonous by contrast The San
Francisco girl of today is disconnected.
Judging by the society columns, she is
enjoying a bellies glorious whirl of ex-
element. but the reporter is paid by the
line, and adjectiVes mean money. The
unvarnished truth is that the San Fran
cisco society man isn't an incentive. He
is very young; about ten years younger
than the bud-in everything but years.
If he is older and society has the power
to drag him from his club he ignores
the bud, and pays attention solely to
the buds mama, who is brighter and
less blase than her daughter, besides
being still young and pretty-since no
American woman of today grows old
The San Francisco society man is Just
that; and he is naught else; he is a
type. The Honolulu man may be a,
society man ana every other kind of a
man besides. For social life in Homo
lulu is accepted by every one from the
sober business head TO the frivolous
devotee of the waltz. The Honolulu So
ciety man is not yet a type, and so the
San Francisco girls want to go and meet
him, before it is too late. Before the
cable spoils the romance of Hawaii nei.

DEATH OF AN INFANT
CAUSES FIRE ALARM
Screams of Mother Misunderstood-FIre-
men Angry Until Facts Are Learned.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-The screams Of
a mother, frantic with grief because of the
death Of her baby boy, called out the fire
department yesterday afternoon, neigh
bors mistaling the purport Of the cries
and turning in an alarm.
AS the engines changed into the street
in front Of the house from which the
cries came, the mother with the dead
child in her arms, dashed from the
house, through the crowd to the nearest
physician. When she learned that the
child was dead she swooned On being
revived she picked up the ifeless body
her house just as the fremen, angry at
having made useless run, were investi
eating the cause of the false. alarm.
Mrs. Charles Wasserman, of No. 1872
Chrystie street, was in her room yester-
day afternoon nursing her baby, when
the child was seized with commissions.
Try as she might, the mother could
afford the tiny sufferer no relief. Her
anguish found vent in screams so shrill
that the neighbors thought the house
was on fire, and one turned in an alarm
When the firemen ascertained the
facts their anger changed to pity. The
gongs were silent as the engines were
driven away, and the horses were refined
to a walk until the house was out Of
sight.
Last night Mrs. Wasserman was not
to be consoled. Clasping the tiny body
close to her bosom she refued to part

SAMMY, boy OF nine,
HIS FAMILY'S STAY
Mother Raving With Hungerand
Two aIf-Starved Children
at Home.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-Sammy sold
papers at the Grand street ferry. Nine
years old he is, with shrewd eyes, gen.
orally on the alert, but yesterday an
agent Of the Gerry society caught him.
Newsboys are obliged to have licenses.
Sammy had none.
My father left US last March, my
mother is SICK" said the boy. Il had
to sell papers to help her and the kids.
Mrs. Fingerhut is my mother. Go and
see her"
Agent Brugger, of the society, had
heard that story before. He went to
No. 709 East Eleventh street and enter
ed the fiat on the third floor.
Sammy's mother was sitting on the
floor in a corner, woman half crazed
with hunger. Her eyes blazed deep
in their sockets. She waved her hands
madly.
Give the children something to eat,
take care Of them" she cried. II can
not, I've sewed and I can't sew any
more. Sammy will come and take care
of them" She repeated the words over
and over again in her delirium.
Two children drew timidly near the
agent. They were Mary, ten years old,

lily had lived on bread and coffee

ing for Sammy now" she said. Hes
late, but he always comes back with
something for us to eat"
The children were thin and the girl
was feverish from lack Of food and
warmth.
"The boy says his mother spoke Of
killing herself and her children" said
the agent, afterward. 81 believe if I
hadn't arrested him, the woman would
have done it,
Brugger made amends for stopping
the breadwinner's business by calling a
Bellevue hospital ambulance. Mrs.
Fingerhut, when she arrived at the
hospital, begged the doctors TO take
care Of her little ones and spoke of a
nurse, as the kind rich lady" who had
come to relieve her poverty.
The three children were fed at the
hospital. Then they were taken to the
Children's society rooms. Mrs. Finger
hut came to her senses at the moment
of parting.
s'Take care Of them, Sammy. You're
as good as man." she cried as she was
led away weeping.

STAGE THUNDER WAS

Peter Lynch an usher, thought differ

His search carried him to the second box
of the second tier ON the right hand side,
which was empty. Then he heard the
wall again, and in the darkness he saw
something white lying under an uphol-
stored chair.

There the matron, Mrs. Donohue, re-

ably seven days old. 1t was dressed ex-
quisitely in white silks and chiffon, with
many dainty bows of ribbons adjoining its
gown. On its feet were silk shoes. But
the baby clothes gave no clew to the police
to aid then in finding the person who had
abandoned the baby.
The box in which the infant was found
was unoccupied, and the theater people
were of the opinion that the babe had
been left there during the afternoon.

CAT FOUR MONTHS OLD
SWALLOWS HATPIN
Physicians Believe 1t Impossible, but
Investigation Reveals Pin.

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, Nov. ga small
kitten, the property of John M. Yore, TO
First avenue, is dead. That fact itself Is
not startling, but the manner of the kit
tens death is so unusual that it has
aroused much interest on the part of
neighbors, physicians and veterinarians in
this city.
The kitten, in a moment of excessive
playfulness, twelve days ago, swallowed
a hatpin. The animal was only four
months old, and of the usual size for such
an age. The hatpin was seven inches
long. with a stone head. Mr.. Yore no
ment, which came from his daughters
hat. Soon afterwards the pin was miss
ing. Search was futile, and the kitten,
which continued to be as sportive as
ever, gave no symptoms of distress until
a few days ago, when it became ill and
subject to fits
This started a controversy in the house
hold. One side asserted thatzthe kitten
had swallowed the hatpin The other
ridiculed the idea as physically fnpossf-
BILE. Neither would weaken, however, and
finally Mr.. Yore became convinced that
the only means of solution of the mystery
lay in a searching examination of pussy's
ana tony. No X-ray being handy, chloro
form and a knife were used. The result
was the recovery of the hatpfn at the cost
of the cats life. The pin had been swal-
lowed, its white head going down first,
found lodging place in the animals
throat. Before the dissection took place
the case was placed before a physician
and two veterinarians. In their opinion
they declared that the kitten could not
have swallowed a pin of such length.

Cure for insomnia.

Physicians say that nine-tenths of
the most stubborn cases of insomnia
are not due to physical causes, but to
worry. To the victim ridden by this
ogre the couch of down is no more
seductive of slumber than the pallet OF
straw. Since worry for the most part
is perplexity. indecision and fear Of
what may happen, the man who goes
to bed at night with his plans for the
morrow settled can roll himself up In
the blankets and go to sleep.
Affairs Of the heart, competitions,
ambitions and the small jealousies OF
life have a large share In our waking
thoughts and are productive of much
worry. To meet all contingencies one
needs only to be armed with common
sense In the larger view all these
matters so important and ominous now
will appear as trifles later on. Ten
years hence these mountains will ap-
pear like molehills, these tragedies like
comedies.
A good rule for those who continu-
ally look anxiously to the coming days
is Sufficient to the day Is the evil
thereof" to which may be added the
old maxim, Don't cross bridge until
YOU come to it, Anyhow the wisest
forecasters cannot be sure that the flu
ture will fall thus and SO. Things

that he put into his mouth 80 times be-

SO times.) Why he reached the conclusion
that 32-or 38-was the required number
is not recorded; but it is said that he had
to count his maSticatory acts for two
years before it became with him a second
nature to chew his food the stated number

MASTER AND Dog
LIE IN ONE COFFIN
Illinois Man Gave Orders for
Burial Together of Himself
and Pet.

QUINCY, Ill, Nov. 2S.-The last will
Of John L. Moore has been filed for
probate with the county clerk. The
document is a unique one and provides
for the cremation of the testator as
well as Of his pet dog. But it was
given out by Mr.. Moore before his
death that he did not care to have that
part Of his will carried out, and so dog
and master were buried together in one
coffin instead Of being cremated.
The will indicates some of the pecu-
liarities of the man. It reads:
II, John Moore Ill, Of FawIey place,
Ellington, county Of Adams and state
Of Illinois, do will and bequeath unto
my wife, Katherine F. Moore, all my
realty and personal property Of all
sorts and kind that I may be possessed
of at my death. When my realty is
sold-which I desire as soon after my
death as possible want $1,000 given
to Blessing hospital and $1,000 to
Woodland home-both good institu-
tons and we'll worthy of assistance.
My remains are to be cremated. and for
that purpose taken to Davenport, Iowa.
My pet dog. Honey, who loves me, to
be cremated at the same time, that our
ashes may mingle. Put me and pet
into a coffin made of zinc.
81 appoint Charles A. James and
Frank J. Penick, both of the city of
Quincy, to be my executors without
bond, for I believe that they will act
justly B. F. Underwood will officiate
at my funeral, and If he is not living
some other good liberal will act, for
want no reverend gent holding forth
over my remains"
A codicil to the will dated Dec. 1,
1900, is as follows:
CAS- my wife, K. F. Moore, is my sole
heir, and placing implicit confidence
in her that she will see that my will
and wishes are carried out to the let
ter, I can see no use Of James and
Penick, named in my will as my exec
utors, acting for me: so it Is my will
that they withdraw and turn the whole
business over into the hands Of my
wife, the said K. +. Moore. Witness
