The lady is a connoisseur of antiques.
At one of her teas a debutante rich

strained with her sense Of her own
novelty, was handed a cup Of tea: the
cup was beautifully blue and wonder

THREE NEAR DEATH
IN AUTO WRECK
Trolley Smashes Motor Car
and Man and Two Women
Are Hurled Into the Mud
Is THROWN 20 FEET

With crash that was heard for sew
eral blocks, a Haight-street car collided
with an automobile at Beale and Mar
ket streets late Saturday night. the oc-
cupants of the motor car, E. Lilienthal
and two women, being hurled headlong
into the mud. The auto was thrown
twenty feet by the impact. No one was
injured.
The car was travelling rapidly and
Lilienthal attempted to cross the track.
He was too late, however. the car strik-
ing the auto on the side, tearing off one
OIL the wheels and wrecking the body
of the machine. Lilienthal and the
women escaped without broken bones
owing to the fact that they fell into
about a foot of mud, which made a
highly disagreeable yet safe place to
strike.
The streetcar, which was No. 141S.
was driven by Motorman r. M. Early
The front steps of the car were de-
molished and several windows shat
tered by the crash. Lilienthal had a
policeman summon carriage and then
he and the women were taken to their
homes.

MRS. BOOTH VISITS
SAN QUENTIN
spEcIAL DISPATCH TO TIE CALL.

SAN QUENTIN, Jan. 27.-Mrs. Maud
Ballington Booth, head of the Volun-
teers of America, held two interesting
meetings in the prison this morning.
The convicts were divided into two
parties, one section attending the first
meeting, and the second section the
last. Her original plan for two meet
ings. one in the forenoon and one in
the afternoon, was changed because
she had to leave for the East this af-
ternoon She had to hurry through, as
the time was limited and she did not
have much time for individual talks.
The prisoners were pleased to see
this tireless woman, whose mission is
TO rescue unfortunates and assist them
in upbuilding their lives. She is no
stranger to many of them, as she has
been visiting the prison for many
years.
She was introduced by Convict o.
Runyon, who briefly stated her mission.
In her remarks she said the future
of the convicts depended principally
upon themselves. They should not think
the world is against them, because it
is not BY following the right path
through life and determining to do
better their future would be good
one.

to pull out into the bay and capture
the quacker. At that time a dozen
fishermen were Loitering about the
