MISCELLANEOUS.
AN OPEN LETTER.
San Francisco, Oct. 24, 1899.
To the Chairman, to the Secretary anc
to the Members or the Citizens Repub-
lican Convention:
Believe me, gentlemen, I thank you sin-
cerely for the recognition and Indorse-
ment I have received at your hands ir
nominating me as a candidate for re-
election to the , .■,,-, of Police Judge o]
the city and county of San Francisco. ]
feel no tnnliiK gratification at the honoi
you have conferred upon me, and I assure
you that 1 feel most grateful to you an £
each and every one of you at the kint
and liberal manner in which I have beer
treated at your hands. One year ago yoi
honored me In the .same manner, and witr
your assistance and co-operation I hat
the honor of being elected Judge of this
great city. At that time, gentlemen, ]
promised you and the people or mis cltj
that if elected I would inaugurate th«
following reforms: First— That I woulc
not permit children to be incarcerated one
nut in the dock with criminals. Second-
That 1 would not suffer working men, me
cnanlcs or reputable citizens to be placet
In tho criminal dock when charged wltl
trivial offt rises, as it is wrong in princi-
pie and wrung in law. Third— '.
would not issue or sustain search war-
rants against merchants, hotel or lodg
ing house keepers, as the Issuance o:
warrants in such eases Is not authorlzec
by law. Fourth— I would protect the
orphan, the poor and the oppressed
Fifth— I would protect all property
rights. Sixth— That no man's nationality
belief or condition In life would inter
fen* with the just and lawful administra
tion of justice in my court.
Now, gentlemen, I feel proud to saj
that since my incumbency in office no boj
or woman has been placed in the doc>
with vagabonds or thieves, or otherwise
and as presiding Judge of the Police
Court, I have ordered that all boys ar
rested for trivial offenses be released a
the request of the mother, father oi
guardian of said children, as the jail 1;
not only damp, unhealthy and dangeroui
to the health of the children, but th<
Burroundings have a tendency to harder
and corrupt the mind of the youth. Ii
no instance have 1 convicted or held i
child to answer before the Superior Court
In the cases where the parents are repu
table and able to care for their childrer
I have pent them home to their parents
and 1 have always contended that th<
father or mother is the best judge of the
case. 1:. cases of orphans— gtrls or boys-
or when girls or boys are truants. wh(
nre leading or apt to lead an lmmora
life, having no parents to control them
I have always sent them to our different
public Institutions, first regarding and re-
ppecting not only the moral but the spirit
ual teachings of the parents of the child
Gentlemen, without further comment, ]
will state that 1 have done all in mj
power to fulfill the promise that I ther
made, and it would be vanity on my pan
to further encroach upon your time by
extolling my own duties and making my-
self the hero of my own statements.
You who have watched my career arf
the best to judge as to whether or not ]
have fulfilled he duties of my office; but
the past is gone, it has been and It is
now time to speak and provide for the
future. Retrenchment and reform are
now become not only expedient for our
prosperity, but necessary to our very ex-
istence.
No man of sense can say that the pres-
ent system of municipal government
Fhould continue; and I assure you that
if re-elected you will have no cause to
regret for having tendered me this nomi-
nation. I will uphold the law. for in my
humhle position I am conscious of the
fact that there is a reward in store for
the man who thinks with Integrity and
aot>» with decision.
Gentlemen, I accept your nomination,
and 1 hereby present myself to the people
of this city as your candidate. They are
the judges, ana in their hands and hon-
est judgment I submit my candidacy.
Gentlemen, receive my most grateful ac-
knowledgment. Yours respectfully,
(Signed.) A. B. TREADWELL..
Judge of the Police Court.

ADVERTISEMENTS.
Many a woman has periodic crying
•pells. She meets her husband with
eyes red and swollen and he cries out :
" What has happened ? " " Nothing" his
wife replies. " T don't know what is the
matter with me, but I just had to have
a good cry." Men don't have crying
spells. It would seem therefore that an
affection confined to women must have
its cause in the womanly nature. There
is no doubt that a diseased condition of
the delicate womanly organs, is in gen-
eral responsible for feminine nervous-
ness and hysteria.
The use of Dr. Pierces Favorite Pre-
scription makes women happy by mak-
ing them healthy. There are no more
crying spells. "Favorite Prescription"
cures inflammation, ulceration and fe-
male weakness. It makes weak women
strong, sick women well.
There is no medicine "just as good."
Accept no substitute.
" For three years," writes Mrs. Mary A. Sasser,
of High, Lamar Co., Texas, " I suffered with fall-
ing of the womb, also ulceration of the womb.
: After using three bottles of your ' Favorite Pre-
scription,' four of 'Golden Medical Discovery'
and two vials of ' Pleasant Pellets.' I found re-
lief. lam able to do my work with ease. I rec-
ommend your wonderful medidne to all my
friends, for I truly believe it saved my life." .

Baago deeded all his property over to his
wife and the couple separated. Baago
secured employment as a cabinet-maker
In San Francisco and his wife returned to
Sheep Island with the little girl. Tuesday
Hans Hansen, an aged dairyman resid
ing on the island, ate dinner with them.
Mrs. Baago expressed herself to him as
satisfied with the condition of affairs, but
Hansen thought she seemed down
hearted. In order to divert her mind
from her troubles Hansen suggested a
boat ride or a walk about the Island, and
Mrs. Baago consented to take a walk
and promised to meet him at the quarry,
some distance from the house. At about
3 o'clock, Mrs. Baago having failed to
appear, Hansen feeling worried, went to
the house to ascertain the cause of her
non-appearance. As he entered the
house he called for Mrs. Baago, and get
ting no response, he opened the door of
her bedroom. The sight that met his
gaze paralyzed him for the moment.
There upon the floor of the small bed
room lay the body Qf the little child liter

of the body were almost against the door,
while the head was lying in the corner

From all indications the mother had
called the child Into the room and with
out warning grabbed her by the
hair and with one strong stroke drew the
knife across the little glrl'B throat, com

OBJECT TO AFTrLIATTON WITH
ANTI-SAXOON ÜBAGUE.
The second day's sessions of the Con
gregational California State Association
j churches convened at 8 o'clock yesterday
! morning in the First Church, Mason and
! Post streets, with the moderator, Rev. W.
W. Scudder of Alameda. in the chair.
The morning session was largely devoted
Ito the business of the association. After
! devotional exercises Rev. W. W. Cross of
I Saratoga was called to the chair and the
! moderator proceeded to read the report
I of the National Council committee relat
ing to the federation of missionary socie
ties. The report of the committee, which
i favored the Copperi plan, was approved.
The report of the committee on tem
perance was presented by Rev. J. R.
| Knodell, who declared that the work al
i ready done had but aroused the enemy,
I and he urged the necessity of continuing
j the struggle with renewed energy. With
this end In view, he presented the follow
| Ing resolution prepared by the commlt-
I te»», which he asked the association to
j adopt:
I That the preachers in all the churches make
; thiß a special theme for work; thai the edlt.r
! of The Pacific continue to take his present high
! stand upon this question; that we rt-cognixe In
i the W. C. T. U. a worthy helper In temperance
reform and give it our hearty Indorsement:
' that we will elect four delegates to the annual
I meeting of the Anti-Saloon league, which Is
to be held in Oakland In November; that we
reafllrni onr confidence in the Anti-Salonn
League and recommend the incorporation of
, ; Its work in the churches by the organization
i of local leagues; and that we call upon the
: churches all over the State to elect such men
i to the Legislature of 1900 na will stand by the
temperance legislation now in foree — namely,
j the county government law. the law restrain-
I ing Baloons In cities and towns and the sanitary
district law.
Rev. C. R. Brown of Oakland opposed
the proposition to organize leagues In the
churches as proposed by the resolutions.
i He declared that the Anti-Saloon League
j was a political body, and as such had no
' place in the church. Dr. Knodell made an
| address touching upon the work of the
i Anti-Saloon League and then a motion
to refer the report of the committee on
temperance was lost, the matter being
made a special order for 9 o'clock this
morning.
The narrative of the churches, prepared
by Rev. E. S. Williams, was read by Rev.
George B. Hatch of Berkeley.
The following recommendations were
made by the committee on nominations,
the report being read by Rev. J. K. Hani
son chairman: Committee on Rev. B. F.
Sargent's report— Rev. Philip Coombe,
Rev. B. J. Singer, Rev. H. F. Burgess.
Committee on church taxation— Rev. J.
I K. McLean, Rev. George C. Adams, Rev.
j Thomas Addison.
Rev. Dr. A. Drachms, chaplain at San
Quentin, concluded the morning session
i with an interesting paper on "Arbltra
l tion," in which he advocated the estab
! llshment of a permanent International
j court to arbitrate the differences arising
! between nations.
In the afternoon Rev. R. H. Sink of
1 Stockton, assistant moderator, presided.
j Rev. Dr. S. H. "W'illey of this city read
j a paper on "The Paclflc," In which he
strongly urged the members of the asso
| elation to give more generous support to
I the organ of the church on this coast.

i "The Early Days of Congregationalism In
■ Southern California," and Mrs. E. J.
Singpr read a paper on "The Gatf»s Ajar."

I ciety and the California Home Missionary
! Society had charge of the evening session.
The programme ' for to-day contains a
i number of interesting papers in addition

GUARDING AMERICAN
INTERESTS IN SAMOA
WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.— Until further
Informed of the attitude of Great Britain
on the German proposition to partition
the Samoan Islands among the three
powers signatory to the Berlin treaty,
it is probable that Secretary Hay will not
make a categorical reply. Final action
certainly will not be taken by this Gov
ernmc-nt until the President and Secre
tary of State understands the views of
influential Senators with reference to the
proposed disposition of the islands.
In the meantime there Is no Intention
on the part of the administration to be
pushed into hasty action by rumors of
trouble in Samoa and the report emanat
ing from German sources that for the
surrender of her rights In the islands of
Tutulla and Savaii Germany should be
given possession of Upolu and additional
compensation.
It was significantly stated to-day that
the President proposrd to oarf fully" guard
every Interest of the United States in
Tutuila in view of American possession
of the harbor of Pago Pago on that Isl
and by this Government, and to require
adequate compensation for the surrender
of American claims to the islands of
Upolu and Savaii.
The authorities have determined that
there shall be no additional commission
appointed to settle the Samoan question,
but the matter will be ended by direct
negotiations between the three Govern
ments. It is apparent that these negotia
tions will consume several months, and
as a preliminary to them it may be de
cided to pnt into force some of the rec
ommendations of the Joint High Commis
sion, which some months ago Investi
gated the conditions prevailing In the
Islands.

pletely decapitating her. After throwing
the knife away she threw the head upon
the floor, and., leaving the house, ended
hen own life by Jumping into the bay.
That the woman was insane is a cer
tainty, as she was often heard saying
that she was tired of the kind of life
she w&s living and would make away
with the child and then drown herself,
and the latter is the theory held by the
officers as to her whereabouts.
Word was sent to Coroner Curry at
Martinez about 3 o'clock In the afternoon
and he, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff
Johnson, hastened to the scene of the
murder. The Coroner and deputy sheriff
searched the island thoroughly and no
trace of the missing woman could be
found. She left the following note, writ
ten In Danish:
"Goodby, Hansen. I cannot Btand it
any longer. My husband has been bother
ing me for the last ten years. Hansen
and Anderson can sell the cows and di
vide It, and the house can you sell and
divide in three parts— my sister Jine one
part, my brother Pete one part and my
husband'B sister Sine her part. My best
regards. MARIA BAAGO.
"Now can papa enjoy himself? I take
my girl with me."
The remains of the child were taken to
San Pablo, where they were viewed by
the Coroner's jury, after which they were
taken to Martinez on a late train. The
inquest will be held to-morrow after
noon, In San Pablo. Coroner Curry was
Interviewed and said:
"It is one of the saddest cases It has
been my duty to handle for the past ten
years, during which time I have been
AGUINALDO SENDS
PEACE PROPOSALS
Accredits an Agent to
Washington.
Ppecial IMspatch to The CaJl.
NEW YORK, Oct. 25.— A special to the
World from Washington says: Senor An
tonio Regidor, now In London, will sail
for the United States within three weeks,
! and as a fully accredited representative of
! Aguinaldo, wLll present to President Mc-
Kinley new terms for ending hostilities
| and reconstructing the government of the
| islands. The coming of the representative
Is kept a close secret by the administra
tion, but from a high authority the World
correspondent learns that these are the
exact terms Aguinaldo desires:
1. Absolute free trade betwe«n the United
! States and the Philippine Islands, carrying
I with It the fullest commercial favor between
i the two countries.
2. Perfect religious freedom, as now exists
under the government of Aguinaldo, the same
being a concession made by him to the wishes
of the United States.
3. Coaling stations for the United States
upon all Important Islands of the archipelago,
to be selected by the United States and ceded
outright forever by the Filipinos. This would
Include Manila.
4. Military reservations at Manila, Hollo,
Panay, Mlndora. Negro*, Mashate. Samar,
Mindanao and such other islands as may be de
termined upon by both Governments.
5. The employment of United States officials
In th« customs and all other lntprnal branches
of the Government, to be selected by the
I I -lltod States and paid by the Filipino Gov
ernment.
8. The introduction of the American police
system.
7. The establishment of a Judiciary as now
I exists <">n the Island nt Cuba.
S. The reconstruction of the entire Filipino
Government upon lines as nearly consistent
as possible with those prescribed by the con
stitution of the United States and adanted to
the requirements of the natives.
9. Recognition of the Filipino Government
aa an independent republic under a protec
torate of the United States.
Senor Regidor will have plenipotentiary
powers to treat with the United States
Government upon all of these points in
order to reach an agreement by which
hostilities may cease.
Sennr Regidor will be the most im
portant political emissary ever sent to the
Tnited States by the Filipinos. He will
have more power than Agonclllo, who was
summarily driven out of Washington
after presenting a memorial to Congress,
which was notable alone for Its indiscreet
attack upon the United States. Senor
Regidor will represent Aguinaldo himself.
Regidor is said to be a man of great
ability and learning, having had long ex
| perlence in European diplomatic circles.
The Filipino Government has had no
representation here since the banishment
of Agonoillo. But the administration has
been fully informed of the demands of
Aguinaldo and his advisers through the
dispatches of General Otis and the secret
| service maintained by this Government
in Europe.

Coroner of Contra Costa County. I was
summoned to-day to come to Sheep Isl
and with all possible haste and accord
ingly went to San Pablo and there secur
ed a rowboat and went to the Island, ac
companied by Deputy Sheriff Fred John-
6on.
"We were met by the farmhand, Han
sen, who conducted us to the house.
There, In a room, upon the floor, lay the
body of a 10-year-old girl, with her head
severed completely from the trunk. I
found a letter left by Mrs. Baago. written
In Danish. We made a thorough search of
the Island for the mlssingwoman, but were
unable to find any trace whatever of her.
It is my opinion that she has committed
suicide by drowning herself. The island
is a dreary place and Is occupied by no
one except the Baago family, Hansen and
a fisherman. It is my impression the
woman brooded over the trouble with her
husband and became temporarily insane.
I brought the remains of the little girl to
San Pablo, where they were viewed by a
jury. I will hold an inquest next Friday
afternoon."
Deputy Sheriff Fred Johnson was seen
to-night, and he has the following to say:
"I was summoned to Sheep Island to-day
from Martinez, and witnessed one of the
saddest cases I have ever seen In my life.
Coroner Curry and I rowed to the island
and upon learning full particulars of the
case from the man Hansen I set about
making a thorough search of the entire
island. I visited every nook and corner
and could find no trace of the missing
woman I am morally certain she has
committed suicide by drowning."
ADJOURNMENT OF
TEMPERANCE UNION
Place of Next Meeting
Not Yet Chosen.
Special r»Bpatch to Tha Call.
SEATTLE, Oct. 25.— The National Wo
man's Christian Temperance Union closed
i Its twenty-sixth annual convention and
silver jubilee In this city to-day and to
morrow will witness the departure of a
larpe number of the delegates for the
East. Some will remain on the Pacific
Coast visiting friends and relatives and
a number will go from here to Southern
California.
The excitement over the denunciatory
resolutions on the national administra
tion's policy in the Philippines and on the
interpellation of the "anti-canteen law,"
passed yesterday, had not died out when
to-day's meeting convened. Many dele
gates insist that the union made a seri
ous mistake in condemning the adminis
tration. A high officer, in an authorized
interview to-day, while refusing to al
low her name to be used, said: "The
union made the mistake of its life in
passing the resolution. In order to further
our temperance work we have much to
ask of the administration and our re
quests will have but little weight when
by our minutes we show that we have no
faith in President McKlnley and the other
official heads of our Government. The
union will live to regret yesterday's
work."
Throughout the session to-day nothing
was said about yesterday's resolutions.
Mrs. Hannah J. Bailey of Maine, superin
tendent of the peace and International
arbitration department, under the aus
pices of which the Philippine war resolu
tion was Introduced, read her report. The
on.y reference made to the criticisms by
her committee was when she said: "We
do not criticisp the soldiers who from a
sense of apprehended duty and so-called
patriotism enlist."
Miss Mary C. Brehn of Illinois, super
intendent of the department of franchises,
read her report.
After a number of local addresses had
been delivered the afternoon meeting ad
journed.
The executive committee, to whom had
been referred the matter of selecting next
year's meeting place, me* to-night, out
made no selection. It will meet again to
morrow and there is every indication that
Indianapolis, Ind., will be named.
IN NEXT STJNDAY'S CALL
The Boers as They Really Are
By Miss Sannie Kruger.
Miss Krnger is a niece of
Oom Paul Krug-er and recently
came to San Francisco to be
educated. In next Sunday's
Call she writes interestingly
of life in her native land.

Grounds Were Cruelty and Too Much
Mother-in-Law.
SAN JOSE, Oct. 25.-Mrs. Mary Grae.be
was to-day granted a divorce from
Charles E. Graebe. the well-known jew
eler, by Judge Hyland. The ground was
cruelty, and Graebe did not appear In

one of the most popular young business
men in the county. Two years ago he met
his wife while she was here on a visit
She returned to her home in Philadelphia'
and a few weeks later he followed her'
They were married and returned here A
pretty cottage was furnished, but 'the
honeymoon was shortlived, and ten days
after their arrival home Mrs Graebe
picked her trunk and teft her husband
Graebe s mother and sister went to live
with him, and the young wife declares he
lost all affection for her and would hard
ly sprak to her. She blames her mother
in-law for this lack of attention Mrs
Graebe is now residing with her brother
in Oakland. A satisfactory settlement of
the property has been made.

sooner or later the principals to the will
would find themselves in deep water. The
will over which so much comment has
been made was In favor of Mrs. Minnie
Houseworth, Dr. J. E. Rodley and John
Garner being the witnesses. This will
was hatched up some time after the
death of Alfred Fuller, who was nevpr
married, and much comment was made
when the same was offered for probate.
The Grand Jury has had the matter un
