THE WORDS OF A WOMAN
Remarkable Paper Read Before Society Women
In Chicago
CHICAGO. May 114.—Mrs. John Sher
wood of New York read a remarkable
paper before a gathering of society wo
men at the home of Mrs. W. W. Kimball,
on Prairie avenue, on The Phillosophy
of Fashion, incidental? saying things
kind and unkind of Mrs. Paran Stevens
and Ward McAllister, the two last leaders,
and not going out of her way to flatter
New York society in general.
"All American fashion and what we
call position, " said Mrs. Sherwood, "is
the outcome of Influences and institutions
most interesting to the philosophical in
quirer. Why a set or coterie hold sway in
any city from Now York to St. Paul is
an unanswerabie conundrum."
The lecturer said there had been a
steady degeneracy both in dignity and in
the seclusion that should enwrap family
life since the days of Mrs. Belmont, Mrs.
ITish and Mrs. Aotor. and tlie chief suf
ferer from the chronicles of the press had
been Mrs. Paran Stevens. "Many din
ners," she said, "much wine, lute sup
pers, balls, theater purties, operas and
coaching parties; the very free and un
trammeled intercourse of the sexes—nil
these things have been quoted us the 1 ex
planation of a certain social com bustion
und vim. Whence comes this sudden
corruption of domestic infelicity, these
scandals,, this terrible malaise to modern
society? in London they attribute it to
tlie Prince of Wales. In France they call
it rin de seicle. What shall we call it in
New York? The influence of leaders, or
much worse, luxury, coaching ami idle
ness."
STEWART FOR SIBLEY
'Remarkable Declaration Made by the Silver
Senator prom Nevada
NEW YORK, May 24.—1n an interview
Senator Stewart of Nevada, who is in the
city, said: "I want to see ex-Congress
man Joseph C. Sibley of Pennsylvania
the next president of the I'nited States,
and I am advocating him as a candidate.
He is one of the ablest men in tlie coun
try, and I do not know one who is more
honest. He is almost too big a man for
the presidency. His mental calibre is too
large and his instincts too honorable for
the White House."
l'a# senator declined to discuss Senator
Carter's visit to ex-President Hanison.
He said he knew of Mr. Carter's call, but
had no comment to make. When asked
about Senator Cameron as a possible can
didate on a silver ticket. Mr. Mewart said
that Cameron was a good man. but that
personally he was for Air. Sibley.

Associated Press Special Wire

works will conclude tho day's celebra
tion. A touching incident occurred in
the course of the reception given Miss
Davis when Governor Lubbock said to the
daughter of Jefferson Davis:
"It was I who carried you, child, into
prison to see vcur father."
He got no further. Miss Davis threw
her arms about him and they both

FIRST-CLASS FRAUD
A Scotchman of riany Aliases A rrested For
Uttering Bogus Checks
A complaint was filed yesterday against
a man who gave the name of L. V. F.
McCullough and claimed to be a relative
of Superintendent M.iir of tho Southern
l'acitic, on the charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses. He passed a
check for 110 made payable at the First
National bank, upon H. F. Lokowitz, a
saloon keeper of 008 East Fifth street on
Thursday, and ootained the money. At
the bank it was ascertained that he had
no funds.
McCullough pretended to have money
on deposit at the First National bank of
Yincennes, Ind., but the bank tele
graphed Chief Class that he was unknown
to them and had no account there. The
fellow was arrested on Thusday by De
tective Steele and locked up in the city
jail.
The same fellow, wiiose other aliases
are Samuel Da fid Fuirchild, McDonald
and It. D. Muir, is a Scotchman and
while in Oakland a short tune ago. tried
to defraud tlie Masonic board of relief by
claiming to be a member of a Glasgow
lodge. His true oharactor was exposed
and he left. His description was sent
on together with a warning that ho was
v tirst-class fraud.
PECULIAR ORDINANCE
A Social Evil Law Which Has Never Been
Repealed
It is interesting to note in view of tlie
piesent agitation in the matter of tho
Alameda street crib nuisance that
at one time in the history of the city
houses of ill-fume were reilly sanctioned
by law, their existence being prohibited
only in. residence districts. The then
city council, on May 21, 1874, passed an
ordinance to prohibit Iho location of such
houses In territory described as follows:
Commencing nt the junction of tlie south
line of First street and the west line of
Fort street (Broadway); thence along the
west line of Fort street (Broadway)
northerly to the north line of Short (Uo
public) street,"thence north to Los Ange
les street, and cast to the south line of
First street. All of flic rest of the city is
exempted from tlie provisions of tnis very
peculiar law. which was approved by J.
I!. Tobeniian as mayor on May 2.">, 1871.
The ordinance, although it has never
been repealed, is of course a dead letter,
being in direct conflict with the state law.
The penalty for the violation of the law
was .1 line of not to exceed $200, or an im
prisonment in the county jail of not to
exceed sixty days or both.
SERIOUSLY INJURED
A Boy Bicyclist Run Over on rialn
Street
Tony Smith, 13-year old boy, wh-lo
riding a bicycle in company with bis sis
ter. Mrs. Orrence. yesterday afternoon,
was run over and seriously injured by
one of tho trucks belonging to the Gor
main Fruit company. Tho accident oc
curred on Main stieet. noith of First.
As tha twj rideri approached the team
tha boy turned to the right and bis sister
to tho left. Another team was passing
at tlie same time, leaving only a narrow
space for the bicyclists. The driver of tho
Wilson, a man named Carr. said that he
saw the two riders, but it was impossi
ble to avoid running over one or the
other of them, so he turned from the
woman and his wagon passed over the
lad. The left arm received a bad break
near the elbow, and it is feared he is in
jured internally. lie was removed to his
mother's home at 1000 North Main street.
WELLS-FARGO'S MAIL SERVICE
This Old Institution Has ISeen Discontinued
at Last
The mail service of Wells, Fargo tt Com
pany lias boon discontinued. Win. Prid
liiuii, the local suy—•intendent, slates that
the company ha ST Ontemplated doing so
for some time past, hut at the earnest
solicitations of some of their old cus
tomers it had not fully decided to do so
until recently. At one time the company
had almost all the mail service of the
western coast, handling over 12.000 letters
daily, and was very popular with busi
ness men, as they found that, a letter
sent, by express was delivered at lea3t two
or three hours earlier than by mail. Mr.
Pridham states the company has made
no money out of this branch of its busi
ness for more than a year past, and that
the falling off in this branch of their
business is due to the fact that tlie gov
ernment bos practically adopted the ex
press company's system of handling
mail.
MRS. SHAW WAS POISONED

Coroner's Jury Charges iladame soutcnlcr
With Her Death -Tne Accused
Threatens Suicide
The sudden death of Mrs. ShftWj which
occurred on Thursday night, at her home.
No. 408 South Walnut street, as a result
of an overdose of colchicum, was investi
gated by tho coroner's jury yesterday
afternoon.
Mrs. Shaw was taken ilia few days ago,
and instead of employing a regular phy
sician she put herself under the care of
Madame Souteuier, a woman who has an
office at 'XiVi South Spring street, where
she conducts an irregular practice* Mad
ame Soutenier gave the patient medicine,
and shortly after the latter grew rapidly
worse, and soon died.
An autopsy was held yesterday after
noon, when it was ascertained that the
deceased Woman came to her death as a
result, of an overdose of colchicum, ad
ministered by Madame Soutenier.
Great indignation is felt among the
friends of Mrs. Shaw In East Los An
geles. Mr. Shaw, her son, is editor of
the Bast Side News. The husband of tlie
deceased is a carpenter in tlie employ of
tho Southern Pacific company.
Mine. Soutenier testified to having pre
scribed colchicum (or Mrs. Shaw, hut
states that the patient took a larger dose
than that prescribed.
In accordance with the verdict of the
jury. Coroner Campbell reported the case
at police bead quarters, charging Mme.
Soutenier with tho death of Mrs. Shaw.
No warrant, was issued lor her arrest; but
as the woman had threatened to commit
suicide, she was locked op In the receiv
ing hospital for the night. Friends of
the deceased woman will probably swear
out a warrant for the arrest of Mme.
Soutenier.
