California were the queens Of the earth.
And in, this he did not except his own
countrywomen. "It is their style, their
verve, their naturalness, and they are so
healthy and buoyant." This delineation
fits the fair young debutante admirably,

met at the home of Mrs. w. H. Mills on
Jackson street on Monday afternoon.
While not counting any public comment
upon their progressiveness, 1t is neverthe-
less a fact worthy. of note that no girl is
eligible unless she is doing something in
the world of art, letters or music. Thus
is the coterie limited to twenty-five,
composed of girls who seek mental pabu-
lum beyond that found at teas and hops
and balls. This gathering of a few
kindred spirits bound together by
ties of intellectual magnetism is
what gave rise to the salons of
Paris in the long ago. What a glorious
thing it would be for San Francisco,
which is rapidly taking its place as a
city of culture, to have such centers OF
intellectual and social life as gave Paris
its mystical charm in the days of the
empire. Who knows but. the clever girls
of the Splnners' Club may outgrow their
present limitations and on becoming
matrons may establish nucleus for this
form of social life?
The tea that Mrs Bowman Fl. McCalla

the anniversary of Mexico's birth. The
young couple left for a short wedding
trip after the nuptiaI breakfast was
served and will latterly go to Mexico,
where Mr.. Nahl is extensively interested.
That Mrs. Nahl, who possesses a fond

a mine of material in the historic old

The dinner that Miss Maye COlburn
gave last Sunday night, complimentary to
Mr.. and Mrs. George Boardman, while
comparativeIy informal, was distinctive in
its arrangement and decoration. Some
how Miss Colburn possesses the faculty
of infusing into her functions a spirit that
makes things go. Perhaps it is her tenn
perament-perhaps it is her tact; but
whatever the source. she is a charming
hostess Though amid seasons she is go

On Wednesday evening Mrs. Carter Pit

ALBERT wISEMAN IN THE INSANE
CELL AT POLICE STATION.
Taken Into Custody After Attempting
to XIII His Family-On All FOurs
Like an Animal.

One of the most deplorable cases of in
sanity ever brought to the attention of the
police department is that of Albert B. Wise
man. of 1925 East Seventeenth street. Wise
man was arrested yesterday morning by
Bicyclemen Hull and Griffin and placed in
the insane cell at the police station, where
he became so violent it was feared he would
kill himself by striking his head on the
iron bars. When arrested Wiseman was
attempting to kill his entire family, and
chased his wife out of the house with a
knife.
At the police station he tore all the
clothes from his body and crawled around
on the cell floor like beast of the field,
at times grunting like a pig and again
barking like dog. He imagined that every
speck of dust he saw on the floor was a
diamond, and that the bolts of the iron cell
were nuggets of gold, and broke his finger
nails in his wild attempts to tear them
loose. He kept up his rawlings until early
this morning. when he fell asleep from
sheer exhaustion Hard drinking is said to
have been his undoing. An insanity COM
mission will act on his case to-day.

DETECTIVES HOPE TO HAVE HER
NAME AND ADDRESS TO-DAY.
Through Her, 1t Is Believed, Light
Will Be Thrown on the Mysterious
Death of Merle Wright.

The murderer of Merls Wright, who was
found in dying condition in the bushes at
Riverside Park last Sunday night, is still
at large. and Detectives Lancaster and
Kurtz who are conducting the investigation,
feel confident that they have clew which
will ultimately result in the arrest of the
guilty party. Detective Kurtz said last
night that there is no doubt there was
woman connected with the case. They will
have her name and address to-day, and
from her they hope to secure the entire
story of the affair.
Deputy Coroner Gels, who has been max
ing a chemical analysis of the stomach of
the murdered man, said last night that the
theory that the young man had committed
suicide by taking tincture of opium was
wholly wrong. The analysis showed that
there was no opium in the stomach, and the
test for morphine will be completed some
time to-day. In speaking of the analysis
DIR. Gels said: II find that the stomach
contains no opium or laudnam, but whether
morphine or other poisons are present will
be unable to state until l complete the ex-
animation tomorrow"
The fact that the stomach contains no
drug will explode entirely the suicide the
ory, and will show positively that the case
of murder.

that the case was one of murder, and not
suicide, and since that time has been work.

Superintendent Taffe said yesterday that
he believed the detectives were on the trail
of the proper parties at the present time,
and expressed a hope that within a day or
so several arrests would be made in con-
nection with the mysterious affair

ROOM WAS WELL STOCKED
FRUITFUL VISIT TO THE APART
MENT OF HOMER LAKE.
Colored Burglar Arrested I'm Louis
VILE Tells How He First Became
Thief-Jail Visitors.

Homer Lake who confessed to burglariz-
ing many residences in this city during the
last year or so, who was recently returned
to Indianapolis by Detective Manning, said
at the county Jail yesterday that he would
tell the authorities about every crooked
piece of business he had engaged in while
he was here.
He said that most Of his thefts were COM
mitted by reaching through windows and
securing articles of value without entering
the house. but many times he was COM
PEELED to enter the apartments of some
sleeping person on account of their negli-
gence in not placing their valuables near
the window.
Detectives Asch and Manning went to the
home of the negro, at No. s4OS East Tenth
street, yesterday and secured many stolen
articles in the shape of pocketbooks, chate-
laine purses, travelling toilet outfits small
articles of tewelry, ladys gold watch and
a number of lesser trinkets, and the re-
covered property will be held at the police
station for Identification.
Lake was confronted with one of his vic
tins at the jail yesterday in the person or
Philip Morgan, a travelling man, who
through the negro lost his gold watch and
considerable money while he was rooming
in the Manhattan flats year ago. Lake
admitted the theft and told Mr.. Morgan
how he did Ii.
He said that he entered the room, secured
the trousers OF the slumberer and took
them to the outside of the building, where
he emptied the pockets of their contents,
after which he folded the trousers up care
fully and placed them back inside the win
dow so as not to inconvenience Mr.. Morgan
in the way of something to wear when he
swoke. Mr.. Morgan thanked Lake for his
consideration and asked what was done
with his watch. He was told that it was
probably gone where 1t would never be re-
covered.
Lake said that up to two year ago he had
led an honest life, but fell in with bad
company and was one day tempted TO steal
a watch which he saw lying within easy
reach Just inside window, and after the
first experience he stole without compunc-
ton. He said that he worked at his trade,
that of lather, whenever he had any work
to do, and committed robberies early i'm the
mornings and late at night, when his work
was short. All day yesterday people flocked
10 the Jail 10 look at the imprisoned colored
man, thinking that possibly they might be
able TO identify him one who had en-
tered their homes at some time or other,
and in many cases positive identiications
were made.
Lake said that he never realized what he
was doing until a short time ago, and then
decided TO cease his operations and lead an
honest life. For that reason, he said. he
went TO Louisville, where he had secured
work and was doing we'll when placed I'M
