The Mozart Symphony Club, the
last OF the numbers On the lecture
course program, did not materialize
here last Saturday night. The CON-
pany was delayed in making train
connections, and did not arrive in
Ashland until after six O'Clock on
the evening advertised for their en-
tertainment. They did not attempt
to reach this city after getting as
far as Ashland, and the sudience
which was gathered at the Opera
House had to be dismissed. The
members of the Club came to Wash
burn that night on the late train
and stayed here until the following
afternoon.
The dance at the Opera House one
night last week differed materially
from what was expected. A largo
tournout had been announced as
probable to be IN attendance from
Ashland, but they failed to material
ize.. and the affair was pulled off
entirely by the Washburn dancing
enthusiasts. Years ago there used
to be some very red hot old times at
the Opera House when Ashland
sent over their gangs" to the public
dances, but these are things that
are past, and al evidence that peo-
PIE are getting better was shown in
the aITemSt to pull off one of the
'1o4d old times" which WAS an
absolute failure.

Jake Segal is getting along finely
at his home in this city. His acct
dent at Evelith was a most painful
one, and from all accounts it was
most fortunate for Mr.. Segal that
be escaped with his life. But for
the timely action of the man in
charge of the car which was being
used In descending to the bottom of
the mine Mr.. Segal would surely
have been killed, but the attendant
noticed the beam before it struck
Mr. Segal and grabbed the latter by
the head pulling him over before the
serious accident occurred, the result
being a dislocated hip and other
serious injuries instead of the fatal
tragedy which would likely have
occurred had not the attendant dis
covered the approaching danger just
as he did.

FRIARS WILL BE PAID

Treasurer of Philippine Government
Instructed to Draw Warrants
PAYABLE at British Capital.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-Ar-
rangements have been made whereby
the Augustinian friars in the Philip
pines can secure the money in pay
ment for their lands in London, as
they desire, instead of in Manila. To
this end the insular bureau of the War
Department has decided that the en-
tire transaction shall be conducted
through the Guarantee Trust Com
pany of New York and London and
recourse will not be had to the Bank
of England, as originally contem-
plated.
The Treasurer of the Philippine
Government has been instructed to
draw forty warrants covering the
100000 involved in this payment
and hand them to the friars' repre-
sentative, who may cash them in Lon
don at their pleasure upon presenta-
ton to the Guarantee Trust Company
there.

Mary Valanzerinio, Tilted
in Love, Puts Matches in
Water and Drinks Potion
MOB DEFIES THE POLICE
Officer and Hospital Attend
ants Are Held at Bay by
Frenzied Father With Club

Pretty Mary Valanzerinio of 215 Val
lejo street made a desperate attempt to
commit suicide at her home last night
by swallowing a large glassful of
water impregnated with phosphorus.
The young woman was Tilted in love
and decided that death was sWeeter
than an unrequited affection.
Mary, who is employed in Stockton
street millinery store, was engaged to
a young Italian fisherman, who was
working in Alaska. A week ago he
returned and found her in the COM
pany of another Her explanations
were of no avail, and he told her to
go and have nothing more to do with
him. The girl, who is but Is years
of age, brooded over the loss of her
swain. Last night she went to the
corner grocery and purchased five
cents worth of block matches. She
took them to her room, cut all the
heads off, placed them in a glass of
water, and when the phosphorus had
dissolved, drank the fatal potion.
She was found by her father with
ing on the floor of her little room. The
rest of the family were summoned and
the excitement they created alarmed
the neighborhood. When Policeman
Robert Silver attempted to enter the
room he was warned back by the fren-
zied father, who threateningly bran
dished Il huge club at the patrolman's
head. Silver saw that the girl was
near dead and finding it useless to
reocOp with tho ma renf rau~ in for fhe
Harbor Hospital ambulance. When
that vehicle arrived at the house and
the doctor and steward carried in the
stretcher the crowd of Italians, by this
time attracted to the domicile, refused
to allow the young woman to be re-
moved. The policeman and hospital
attaches tried in vain to explain that
their course was for the girls good,
but the foreigners refused to under
stand. The father fell frantically on
the unconscious form OF his daughter
and cried aloud that she would never
be taken from him.
Finally, after much wild talk and
gesticulating, the Italians acceded to
the policeman summoning a doctor.
The physician came anG after working
over the girl for two hours got her out
of danger The ambulance was COM
PEELED to return empty, the Italians
seeming to fear that the officials were
going to harm the young woman.
Taking the phosphorus from matches
is said to be a common method of sui
eide in Italy, but this case is one Of
the first ever recorded in San Fran
cisco

Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, SPIT. 24.-Plans for the
erection of the First Church of Christ,
Scientist have just been completed
The structure will cost fully S25, 900
and when finished will be the hand
soonest in the city and an architectural
ornament of the first rank. The site
is a prominent one, being near the
Santa Clara Club and facing st. James
Park. The style of architecture is
pure Greek, after the temple of Ilys-
sus, which is regarded by Psychologists
as a must perfect specimen of Greek
architecture.
The new edifice is to be built in the
form of a Greek cross with arms sixty
five feet long and sixty-five feet wide.
The walls will be surrounded by a
dome sixty-one feet high. The fronts
consist of an Ionic portico, supported
by four columns, between which the
congregation will pass into a spacious
lobby fourteen by sixteen feet in size.
a stylobate sixteen feet in height
will surround the entire church and
on this will rest twenty-five windows
which are to be filled temporarily with
cathedral glass. Above these will be
ifty-eight pilasters and higher up
entablatures, upon which the dome
will rest. The &alls are to be of
plaster. The exterior is to be of
cement plaster. There will be an
organ gallery and readers platform
in California woods, richly carved.
1t is hoped that the congregation
will occupy the church soon after New
Years. The design is by Wright &
Clark of this city.

MIsGNINGS IN EVIDENCE.

Misgivings over the stability of the
price level Of stocks have been more
or less in evidence all the week. This
has prompted some profit-taking by
doubtful spectators and has encour-
aged the formation Of a bear party,
which makes occasional attacks on the
market and is watchful for opportuni-
ties TO put out short lines to advantage
IL is stil evident that an aggressive
BUN party is operating which effects
rcVerses to the bears and caused an
irregular tone in the market when the
bears retreat and cover their shorts
The prevailing tendency of prices,
however, has been downward, and the
activity Of trading also marks a de-
cline in speculative interest. A doubt
exists on the question whether the rise
