GOLFERS ARE HAPPY.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
SAN RAFAEL, March 2.— The last
skunk has vanished from the San Rafael
Golf Club's links and left no trace behind
him, and while hoot mons and women
are rejoicing over the retreat of the mal
odorous enemy the caddies are planning
a banquet which will make any previous
festivities look like thirty cents.
For weeks skunks and coyotes have
avoided the swats of the pursuing brassies
wielded by the caddies, cheered on by the
hoot mons, and skunk hunts as an amuse
ment threatened to supersede golf. But
now all is changed. For two whole days
no skunk or coyote has shown himself,
and the links once more are beginning to
resound to the mashing sound of the
learner's Vbrassie" as it tears largechunks
out of the ground in a misdirected effort
to make a record drive.

Statement Prom the Officers
of the Hospital Ship
Missouri.
The feeling among the: officers on the
hospital f?hip Missouri, despite statements
to the comrary. is devoid of bitterness or
malice. The friction between Major Ar

tnin Dillon, the navigating captain, has
ttf-en exploited, but it has also been aa
te:ted that there was much 111 feeling
among the medlcaj officers and Junior offi
cers of the ships company. In answer to
tills the officers both of the ship tind the
medical department huve drawn up a
Fta'cuient which they intend to have pub
lished in the army journals. In this they
jedare there is no I}l feeling between
themselves and Major Arthur, and any
report to the contrary i* without foun
dation; that there has been perfect har
mony and ffood feeling : throughout the
trip from New York to Manila and then
to San Francisco, and that they regard
Major Arthur with Ihe : highest esteem
and the warmest friendship. This state
ment, has been Figned by: all the medical
oftiecrs and by ail the officers of the ship's
company. . .

WHY THERE IS A BIG
TREASURY DEFICIT
Besult of the Merchants' Associa
tion's Investigation of the
City's Finances. .
At a recent meeting of the Merchants'
Association a committee was appointed to
look into the deficit in the funds of the
city. Yesterday at a special meeting the
committee presented a long report to the
effect that by the end of the fiscal year
the deficit will amount to $211,661 11. The
report says:
When the present officials of the city gov
ernment took office under the new charter on
January 8, 1900, they were confronted with a
deficiency of $139,281 11. This deficit was main
ly owlns to a deficiency of $18,039 37 for elec
tion purposes. The expenditures for the munic
ipal election on • November 7, 1899, and the two
bond elections on December 27 and 29, 1899,
aggregated $124,533 37, while the appropriation
for elections during the fiscal year was only
$66,500. Furthermore, the appropriation for
the expenses of the Health Department
amounted to $46,960, while the last Board of
Health expended during the six months end
ing. December 31. 1599. $46,572 47. Moreover, the
appropriation for • stenographers : In criminal
cares was $13,200, while the expenditures ¦ for
this purpose during the first six months of. the
present fiscal year amounted to $23,424 95.
There was also appropriated $10,000 for I pur
chasing furniture and making repairs to pub
lic buildings, whereas there was spent for this
purpose during the first six months $11,557.
In the Judgment of the Finance Committee,
the only departments In which reductions
could be enforced were those not mentioned
in section 5. chapter 11. article 111, of the
charter. The^e departments are the Board of
Public Works, • Board of Health ? and street
A possible reduction might also be made In
the salaries of clerks not specifically fixed In

Smarting under the imagination that her
neighbors hated her and believing, that
they were conspiring to railroad her to
an insane asylum, Mrs. Mary McCarthy
came over from San Francisco this after
noon to end her misery on this side of the
bay.
After wandering about Emeryville sev
eral hours she walked over to the wharf
at the rear of the Parafflne Paint Works
and Jumped into the bay. Fortunately
several of the employes at the paint works
witnessed the woman's rash act and res
cued her in the nick of time. ¦ "
She was turned over to Deputy Constable
Ed Kowland, who took her to the County
Jail, but the Jailer refused to receive her
as a prisoner and on his suggestion she
was taken to the insane ; department of
the Receiving Hospital. When , Warden
Page requested the officer to appear as
petitioner to have her . examined for in
sanity, however, Rowland declined and
escorted the woman to the address she
gave as her home. 522^ Grove street, San
Francisco. . . . . , ¦ : . .
"My neighbors see everything I do,"
she explained to the officer, "and. they
hear and say lots of things. They would
like to have me in an asylum and so I
concluded to end my life.
Mrs. McCarthy is about 45 years' old.
She was well dressed and has a husband

ponies and packed with dogs. It was a circus pa

Norris & Howe own a diminutive circus, and all their para

that put the band out of noise business at the drop of the flag.
Every variety of the species canine was in. the procession. They~
divided honors with the ponies, whose breastplates bespeak
their foreign origin.
A zebra and an Infant elephant were the features of the anl
maldlsplay. The baby with the tusks was in sore straits, for
the small boy was on deck to make his tail ache. Crowding
around the thick-skinned but sensitive creature a mob of yo.uth
ful animal teasers played a star . engagement behind the ele
phant along the line. The elephant's name is Fargo, and. he
served notice after the procession last night that he would re
fuse to appear hereafter In shows of the like . kind. At the
Mechanics' Pavilion the drivers and the driven and the band
, went to roost.

PETALUMA, March 2.— A sharp shock

morning shortly after 12 o'clock. The vi

Old Bouth. Tho character to neither an
exaggeration nor a caricature. There is
not an undue obtrusion of pride and
honor, the traditional "props" of the stage
Southerner, and Jeff ry Williams acts the
role with admirable art. His General
Gwynne is a reflex of B. M. Holland's
Colonel Moberly in "Alabama" in voic«»
and manner, but the counterfeit of such a
perfect model Is so good that it is worthy
of all praise. •• ...
Miss Mary Hampton and Ernest Hast

their lines, which Is a condition of too
frequent occurrence. Haetjngs* fondness
for the prompt side of the stage is be
coming notorious. In their • scenes to
gether they exhibits a constraint
which might be born of a mutual
compassion. They acted as if they were
mourners at a funeral, who did not know
what to say io ore another.
Miss May Blayney did a sort of sleep

There is comedy in every turn at the
Orpheum this week, even the acrobatic
features with which the programme be
gins and ends being of that character. The
Dancing Passparts are among the new
comers, and it is the comic element in
their act that saves it from being quite
ordinary. The female Passpart is agile
but graceless, and after her whirl at
legitimate dancing, in which she is a dead
failure, she takes to the grotesque with
huge success.
Trovollo is a super-average ventrilo
quist, and Pauline Moran an infraordinary
shriller of coon Bongs. Her pickaninnies
are email but great and give her act a
laughable interest.
Kathryn Osterman presents her second
sketch and proves herself pleasing. There
is an idea in the skit that is decidedly
original and fairly well handled until the
time comes for untangling the complica
tions that give it its reason to be. Here
the author fails. He ties his characters
up with some skill, but In getting them
out of their difficulties he has apparently
resorted to the first expedient that came
to hand. . ,
"To-Morrow at Twelve." as the sketch
is called, has to do with two art students,
who ply their craft in the same studio.
The inartistic methods they pursue are so
false that they deserve comment and need

SMITH DIVORCE
INVOLVES A BIG
CHURCH SCANDAL
Accused Wife Arrives From
Nebraska to Defend Her
Good Name.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.
1118 Broadway, March 2.
¦ Mrs. Laura Smith, who is being sued
for a divorce by Rev. Guy.W.* Smith,
pastor of the First Christian Church, on
the ostensible ground of desertion, has
arrived from her Kebraskan home and
threatens to fight the suit. She is at
present sojourning 1 at the home of her
husband's father at Pacific Grove, and if
the suit comes to trial it will prove most
sensational, involving a Xebraskan church
scandal.
It was published some time ago that the
alleged ground of desertion was but a
ruse, that the main cause was that -the
parties had discovered they were blood
relatlpns— that they were cousins. These
facts were vouched for by Rev. Mr. Smith
and. the public was compelled to-be con
tent with the statements.
