21it last when she lett leuMDg her baggage a valise be hind On March 22d she returned for her valise but left no address hile in the ituss House she was apparently in good health and the hotel people sav she con ducted herself with tha utmost pro pnetj during hcr stay in the hotel Jrom the Euss House Ida Shaddock went to the residence of Dr bamuel Hall HI Seventeenth street corner ot Guerrero Farther than this McCarviile could not trace her but he believed as does her father that the girt had stayed with Dr Hall famil under going treatment fursorue lemale complaint of a trivial nature until she started home Her father sent her money by registered letter to Dr Hall a residence and sup posed that his daughter was under that pbvstcian a care Dr Hail said a Chbohiclx reporter to the phjsician in the latter parlor about 10 clock last night do you know this picture Accompanying the question the doctor was luinded a cabinet photograph of Ida Shaddock McCamlle was seated near the doctor and as the latter took the photograph he pot up ana wen toward mm nu nsis clinched nis brows contracted and his face as pale as death Dr Hall took the picture looked at it closely held it up to the gaslight and tbeiu turning slowly toward the reporter Old Yes 1 know ft Whose picture is it It is the picture ot a young woman whom I knew In her lifetime ai Ida Soad dock answered Dr Hall The silence that followed the answer was broken only by the deep levy breathing of the man who stood with clinched nsu by tbe mantel glowering down upon the physician I brst met this girl continued the doctor again critically examining tbe picture and speaking in slow measured tones as if thinking twice before uttering a word I firt met thia girl on Saturday March 21st or Monday March 23d I wont be certain which hut 1 think tbe latter date at my office 426 Kearny street She called on me and told me she was to become a mother before long A groan interrupted the doctors remarks and poor McCarviHe standing by the mantel dropped his head upon his arm She asked my advice resumed Dr Hall in his smooth low monotone and I told her to await the natural outcome of such a condition She then told me one was a stranger in this citv and without lnend and didn know where to go She said Do vou know where I can go until my bary born Again tbe groan from the hearbroken man with his face bidden in his arm at the mantel interrupted the physician story Dr Hall glanced up and then went on I told her yes 1 knew or thought I knew where she could tay until he was all right again but that she would have to wait until the next day until I could con salt my wife fehe went away and came back tbe next day and I sent her out here to my house She staved one dar and night and then suddenlv left Where she went 1 don know 1 ve never seen her since Did Mis Shaddock receive any letters while at your house doctor inquired the reporter Registered letters hoarsely added the man at the mantel without raising his head Ye es replied Dr Hall she did 8be received two registered letters whrle she was here I believe 1 am certain she did A minute later and tbe reporter and Mc Carville were bowed out of the house Once on the sidewalk the latter turned and grippine the arm of the newspaper man with sucn a grip as only a man half mad can give McCarviHe fairly hissed Did you hear him sav it He said she was only at his houe one day tha hed only known her two das and jet she cot two registered mind you reg istered letf at his house Do vou know that an ordinary letter can come from ltes to San Francisco even if tele graphed for in that time It a true J4e sides her father onlv ent her one regis tered letter A few dajs before she died she wrote him to send her some money quick or they would take her gold watch a watch I gave her on last Christmas He had given her 60 when she started down here and sent her some monev afterward He not a rich farmer He a blacksmith and only well to ao But he sen her the money she aked for ho sent the other reg stered letter That is now tbe question Who sent the second registered letter that Ida Shad dock received and where did she go from Dr Hall hoae Physicians have two theories about Ida Shaddock murder One is that it was committed in tins citv The other is that it Was committed elewhere and he came here to die At any rate the police have now a clew which can be llowed up and tbe man who put Ida Ohaddock on the train to die should be found and he should be able to tell wbo murdered her INDIGNANT CITIZENS THEY WANT THE PESTHOLSE TO BE REMOVED Incendiary Suggestions That Were Made lesterday by Angry Property Owners The only way you will ever get rid of the Pesthouse is ther to burn it down or blow it up That was one of the enti nient whicn met th the heartiest appro at an indignation mass meeting of the I orero lmDroement Club he vesterday afternoon at the corner of Twenty fourth nreet and Potrero avenue The assembly was called or ier at 3 clock by the presidert 3 Ho an He briefly stated tne ooject of the meeting to be to aroaie ubh sentiment in a matter of vital in frest to the 1 callh and well Peine of the enti community The Penthouse has for jeurs been a dangerous menace to the locality in which it is situated and in directly lo the whole citv I atrick Harnng on declared that it was not only a serious derment to surround nig property bv its deat dealing con tagion but that its loathsome diseases wercpread broadcast throughout the city in an mal fo and particularly in milk tainted almost irrperceptiblt but none the lesi surel contact with the gloomy i lace We lne waited for twenty years to ave tbe I esthone remoed wilLae wait twenty ers longer We have akd the officials of the cit to aid us and hare recened no reply We routed the Board ol Supervisors and tbe Bo vrJ of Health to a tend the meeting to day and not a member ot cith body is here We mast suggest some locality in which to put the nuisance 8hag Rock must be paid for and 15 000 more will put it in condition A better plan would oe to secure a shij he citv does not own the property upon which the Pesthouse is located Why can we not condemn it and have the municital officials arrested for maintaining a nuisance It has been done beloe During his remarks Mr Harrington urged us a solution either to Durn down or ow up the Pesthouse Charles Kraegs was also of the opinion that the Supervisors would gie no aid and Ihe best wa out of the difficulty and the mot effectual waj in which to get tht Pesthouse out of the neighborhood was to burn it Mr Bartlett felt that the obnox lous object was a black spot in the neigh borhood but that the Supervisors would heed a petition for its removal Daniel bullivan was of the same opinion as were a number ot others in the assembly It was finally decided to instruct the officers and executive committee of the club to wait upon the Board of Supervisors tonight and urge upon it the necessity of immediate relief 31

Lost and the Police Called In A fear of conequeneet now haunts those who have thrown all their worldly wealth into the Commonwealth of Jesus The commonweilth is a co operative Con cerrrfScorporated under the laws of thft State It runs a corporation boarding house on Page street We have a large sized right on hand said Secretary Everett Stone Tester day There is a deadlock in the board of directors and although am working to overthrow it I can tell what the result will be What is all tbe trouble about was asked ell in the first place certain mem bers wanted us all to bow down and worship Arthur Dowe as the head of tbe commonwealth I wouldnt bow That made them mad I wanted to keep the corporation alive but some of the others wanted to disincorporate hat did the want to do that forr Why tl ey said they were dead men dead in Christ and that they had no need to be organized under the laws I hare tned to combat this remarkable statement but that is the onl way they can see it Mr Stone went on to say that Den nmg Smith the vice president of the commonwealth was his foremost an tagonist standing out strongly for dism corporation He has tried to drive me out of the commonwealth but I will not be driven said Mr Stone There have been stormy meetings of the board of directors of the society organized under the name of tne lowlv Naiarene One dav recently Mr Stone says bmith who is an Englishman of some means tipped over a table in his wrath over Stone declarations aeainst disincorpora tion One half of the directors favored letting tbe incorporation stand the other half Stones antagonists wanted to shiver it into little bits The deadlock IS still on will break it before long de dared Mr Stone and my tide will win Our co operative store will then be started It will be one of the biggest grocery stores in the cUy Mr Stone eyes twinkled with delight as he viewed the beautiful prospect Their antagonism against me has gone to far that I have had to call in the police Tb particular reason for calling in the minions of tha la was explained as being ail over a lost stockbook Somebody tole the book out of my room in the co operative boarding house said Stone Was it of any value was asked alne I should say so It had in it many snares of stock of the Common wealth When I found it was gone from my bureau I looked all around but could not find it When they saw me go for the police to search the house they restored the book The policeman found it under the mattress of my bed Thenall the anti tone commonwealth ers laughed at the secretary and pointed the nnger ot scorn at mm hat did you tell them asked the reporter i aian say anyming onty assed it it were likely that 1 would hide the book mv own bed if I wanted to make out that some of them stole it The commonweal thers Stone insisted will come out all right He said that thev would get rid of some obnoxious mem bers and then it would run along smooth They think wound tip Stone that being a spiritual organisation thf do i have to run on a busmen basis fi it the Commonwealth has got to be practical don you see or we will neer ret that big co operation grocery store snarled Mr Dowe having Withdrawn from tbe legaiinstitulion is no longer president ot the commonwealth of Jesu a corpora tion doing business under the laws of the State of California Mr Stone thinks he holds the key to the situation but he i discreet eneugh not to tell what the key ooks like THE SILENT PARK THE SlttDAY CROWDS SMALLER THAN USUAL General Disappointment Over the Absence of the Afternoon Concert There was a large void In the pleasures afforded by the park yesterday fot the first Sunday in a long while the great wooden seasbell reflected outward to the ears of thousands no harmonies by great composers Tbe absence of the usual music was commented on and regretted by very visitor The spacious carriage stand usually crowded with splendid equipages on a nice Sunday afternoon re mained as vacant as at midnight Peope sunned themselves as usual on the grassy slopes about the music stand but the rows of benches were unoccupied and children climbed aoout the deserted sea shell at their own sweet wilL The afternoon was a beautiful one out there where the breezes seem tempered and steal through the groves pure and fresh from the sea and ot course a great many people were out to enjoy a rest and the pure air sun and flowers but it was the unanimous opinion of the guardian of the park that the attendance was much smaller than usual and that this was due to the absence of the music Those who did go found the cars much less crowded than usual and many did not forget Why tbe delightful concerts had ceased However there was left one of the most charming resorts in the world for those who could enjoy a simple rest amid beauty and magnificence Carriages sped over tbe avenues as usual the little ones found their usual delights at the Childrens playground and hundreds luxuriated in the sun on the grassy commons strolled through the conservator and thronged about the fence of the deer paddocK in tensely interested watenmg or petting the deer inside The usual number foun a pleasure at the Cliff House where tbe clear air afforded magnificent news and the hard sands alonz the tedge of tbe sort enticed a crowd ot pleasure seekers that stretched down the beach for three miles A TVS OF

grounds one of them James Eliroy found an old coal scuttle Imbedded in the sand He raked it out and found in it a large tut filled ith a substance which the boys immediately aad correctly decided was iant powder After some consultation It was decided that their proper course was to get the stuff to a police station but the next question was how to do it They finaMlyifter a good deal of thought put a long stick through the handle of the scuttle and by changing hands on the pole they carried it to the Seventeenth street police station and received tbe thanks of the authorities It is thought the powder was stolen irom some contractor and the matter vnlX be investigated OAKLAND SEWS i The Itcw Council to Rectify IU Irregu nlar Proceedings The City Council will meet this evening and will
