for the men Of the Methodist church,
South, at Marion, given at the Stegar
building On Thursday evening, Jan
%, served by the Ladies Aid Society
Of that church.
Over one hundred men Of the
church, including visiting Methodists
and men belonging to other churches
fortunate enough to have Methodist
wives. The menu was worthy OF
the occasion and the manner ia
which it was served demonstrated
beyond doub, that among many
other virtues the Methodist ladies
were most excellent cooks.
After the invocation by Rev. X.

Adams made the welcome address in
his usual happy style. DR.. T. A.

service to the church and . higher
appreciation Of the duties aud re.
possibilities of church members and
IT certainly cannot fail to be produc-
tive OF much good.

PHILIPPINE CHOLERA

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Approxi-
mately $4,000 deaths from cholera in the
Philippines since January 1 of this
year, are announced in a detailed re-
port made to the public health service
by Chief Quarantine Officer McClin-
tick at Manila.
The report says that cases of cholera
continue to be reported in the Philip
pines, but the disease shows little ten
dency to spread.
Five new cases of cholera were re.
ported in Manila for the day ending
this morning, while three new cases
were secured after the first two days oi

twice during each day.
The entire city was covered during
these visits, and the results make the
health officials very hopeful. although
they are inclined to be somewhat sus-
picious of the sharp declines noted in
the spread of the disease, and are I'M
willing to accept them as evidence that
the cholera epidemic has been uprooted.
1t is intended to continue the active
campaign now being carried on at least
two weeks longer.

KERMIT PROVES
POPULAR PUPIL
HARVARD MUCH INTERESTED
IN PRESIDENTS SONS
Prediction Is Younger Lad VIII Take
Up Politics, but That Brother
In Connecticut Will Adopt
Trade
Especial to The Herald. ]


BOSTON, Oct. 11.-Kermit Roose-
welt, the presidents second son, who
has followed his father and elder
brother in turning to Harvard for his
collegiate education and is enrolled as
& freshman in the class of 1872, prom
ises to become as great favorite
among the students and faculty OF
Harvard as was his brother, Theodore
junior, who left college last spring
and recently embarked upon a busi-
ness career as a practical carpetmaker
in a large manufactory in Connecticut.
Kermit already has a great follow
ing at Harvard and is extremely pop
ular He evinces the same strenuous
degree of devotion to his studies and
athletics as did Theodore, Junior; like
wise their father before them. Both
of the young men are ambitious and
strive diligently.
Boston people who enjoyed a per-
sonal acquaintance with Theodore,
junior, are watching his career and
the progress of both brothers with
deep interest. Every bit of informa-
ton received here relative to the fac
tory experiences of Theodore, junior,
is received with relish.
The progress and college career OF
Kermit also are watched with the same
interest. 1t is confidently predicted
that while Kermit may become a
statesman and politician, his brother.
Theodore, will remain devoted to some
more practical profession, if not to a
real trade.

Who Became Demented as Re-
suit of San Francisco
Catastrophe

| m HAT a firebug is at work in the dis
trict bounded by the Chavez Ra-
\ vine road, Beaudry avenue, Adobe
street and Sunset boulevard, hill sec
tion bordering on Elysian park, is amply
shown by the fact that there has been
a daily blaze of incendiary origin re-
ported from there since Tuesday last
At $50 o'clock last night James j.
Donovan, a mining man living at 1886
Ramont street, discovered a fire burn
ing in the summer kitchen at the rear of
the residence of Mrs. Nellie T. Somerby,
924 Ramona street. He turned in a
telephone alarm, and the fire depart
ment arriving promptly, extinguished
the blaze before 1t had done material
harm.
Shortly before the fire was discovered
q man was seen lurking in the vicinity
of the house, and then noticed walking
rapidly across lots in the direction of
College street
When the firemen arrived the little
summer kitchen was blazing freely, the
fire being fed by oiled kindling and rags
which had evidently been lighted first
and tossed in through window.
Derricks Set AbIaze
Saturday night an oil derrick and oil
tanks at College and Figueroa streets
were destroyed by an incendiary fire,
entailing a loss of $500. Friday night
the same derrick was fired, but the
blaze was extinguished before 1t had
got under full headway. Thursday
night a cottage on Ramona street was
damaged by fire, and Wednesday night
building on Adobe street. used as a
storehouse for tools by an oil company,
was burned. Tuesday night vacant
cottage on College street was partly
destroyed.
All these fires were started in the
same manner and at about the same
hour, and the police who are investi-
eating the matter are convinced that
a man who lives within the district and
is supposed to be demented, his mind
having been wrecked by an awful ex-
perience In the San Francisco fire and
earthquake, is responsible for each of
them. They are working on this theory.
Probably as soon as the man can be
found by the detectives he will be ar
rested on suspicion and held pending
an investigation.
Meantime the people residing in that
district are terror-stricke and the eng
/ tire section is being patfoled sdch night
by citizens who have formed COM
mittee on protection and are carefully
scrutinizing the movements of every
suspicious character found in the dis
trict.
