The ‘“Fencing ster’” has not made much more than a success of esteem in San Francisco. People went at first to see another opera by the composet of “Robin Hood,” but finding that De Koven and Smith had not lived up to the reputation of that pastoral operetta, their in- terest fell off. The fact is that in “Robin Hood” the authors had & definite idea and car- ried it out.

The direct result of this warfare has been | ate an urprecedented .current of both to the -north and to this eity, as these rates hold good in either direction. The Farallon is taxed to.her utmost ca- ty on each trip, as are_also the vessels of .the other line. The Farallon people, however, refuse to sell tickets to more passengers than can be ac(‘nmmodated! with berths, while the rival company re- fuses no application for passage, allowing the late comers to find sleeping accommo- da s where best they can. The resulting =~ reduced freights have greatly stimulated trade between this city and the sound, more particularly in lines of goods that it did not pay to.ship under the old rates. Among other things coal is | \n'in-i: brought here for $1 less per ton than | usual. A connection has also been formed by | the West Coast Steam Navigation Com- pany with the Alaska Steamship Com- {mn;.- vhich operates the steamer Willapa etweenn Port Townsend .and Alaska, whereby they have forced a reduction in the passenger rates to Alaskan points from $70to $401n the cabin and from $17 50 to $10 in the steerage. The great rush that is now being made for the Alaska gold fields is, no doubt, in great part-induced by these low fares. On next Saturday a new combatant will enter the field, the third participant being the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com- pany, which operates a line of steamers be- tween this port and Portland. On the day mentioned this company will- adopt a re- | duced scheduie for fares, making cabin | passage $12 instead of $16, and steerage ?: | in place of $8. They were unwillingly | forced into the fight, as many people were ! taking advantage of the cheap fares to sound points to go to Portland, via Seattle and Tacoma, thereby affecting a saving on | the rate charged direct to Portland. If the combat i2 maintained much longer even the Southern Pacific may be drawn into it, on the ground of self-protection, | against the reduced rates of the Oregon Railway and -Navigation. On and after Saturday ‘intending passengers for Port- land wiil have the chance of traveling to that city at a cost of $20, exclusive of berth and meals, on the Southern Pacific's trains, or for $12, including both berth and meals, by steamer, the latter being a virtual re- duction of more than one-half.

Although “Our Flat” is in the middle of its second week at the California Theater, its bustle and animation continue to make it draw well.

HEe BeLieves THEY WouLp Have TAKEN PROPERTY FROM THE OFFICE. The answer of Frank T. Shea, architect of the City Hall, to the suit of Smith O'Brien, and also to that of Theodore F. Laist, has been filed. O'Brien and Laist were both employed in 8hea’s office in the City Hall. O’'Brien sues for $10,000, be- cause an article appeared in the Evening Post, which gave Shea as authority for the statement that he had taken some valua- bie blueprints from Shea's office. Laist was also included in the statement, and he 100 sued Shea. In his answer Shea says that Laist caused to be published a statement reflecting on the City Hall Commissioners, and they were told they might leave the office. They did not do €0 at that time, however, but when, some days later, S8hea discovered that some blue prints of the plansef the tower had been sent east for publication in an -Eastern journal of architecture, he ~fixed” both men summarily, for they ad- mitted they were responsible. In seaking of the two plaintiffs, Shea says they were very surly and unmannerly in the o ce, and frequently caused much dissatisfac- tion among visitors because of their dis- courtesy. He also salleges that certain things have been taken from the office, and further that from his knowledge of the character of the two men, he would not be | surprised to find that they had taken them. —————.— SICK AND DISOOURAGED. Henry Gibson Shoots Himself in the Head and May Die. Henry T. Gibson of 418} Powell street shot himself through the head about 12 o’clock last night and the result will prob- ably be fatal. About seven years ago Gibsoh came to this city from Oregon, where he had been arancher. He engagéd in the teaming business, but was obliged to give it up owing to ill health. ~After that he ran an elevator in the Palace Hotel until about a year ago. Latterly he has been suffering from consumption " and_has been despon- dent in consequence, He has a wife and five children. He was taken to the Receiving Hospital and the surgeons say he will probably die. Chinese Scale of Rewards. We see from the columns of the North China Herald that the Shmy{hai Taotai has issued a proclamation offering a re- ward of 100, tls. to any one who suc- | ceeds in defeating the enemy, causing a | loss to them of several thousand men, and | a similar sum whenever a Japanese iron- {clad is destroyed or eaptured, the re- | ward for vessels of smailer size being cut down to one-half. The troops holding an important position who succeed in beating off the enemy will be rewarded with 30,000 tls., and a similar sum will be given in the event ot a Japan- ese converted cruiser being destroyed, | while the reward for the destruction of a | torpedo boat will be 20,000 tls. The destruc- | tion of a ship’s boat belonging to the en- | emy, and the killing of ten or more of the crew, will be rewarded with 1000 tls., and any one presenting the heads of Japanese bandits will be given 50 tls. apiece. Gen- erals and colonels of battalions who have succeeded in defeating the enemy will not onlf( be rewarded according to the above scale, but their names will also be submit- to the throne for extraordinary pro- motion. —————— Darwin’s Literary Taste. Leslie Stephen delivered at Toynbee Hall recently an address to a erowded audience on “The Choice of Books.” He said that Darwin had confessed that Shakespeare had no charm for him and that he always liked a novel that had a retty woman in it and ended happily. 'his was not'a peculiarity of Darwin alone. Every person had his own fancies as re- garded books, and it was a true saying that “‘all books were good for some one.”’— London Standgrd. ————— Langley’s Directory has 2594 more names than the opposition.

A deliberate attempt to destroy the tin and sheetiron works of C. P. Littell & Co., 215 Mission street, is being investigated by Fire Marshal Towe and the police. The building is a two-story brick, and is owned by Bird & Haughy, proprietors of the California Saw Works, It is num- bered 213 and 215, Bird & Haughy occu- pying the former and Littell G Co. the lat- ter. Littell & Co. close up their premises every afternoon at 5:30 o'clock, and did so on Tuesday, March 19. About fifteen minutes later Mr, Bird, who was alone in his office next door, was startled by a loud explosion, which shook the building. He jumped from his seat and made a hurried examination of his premises, but found no evidence of an explosion. He went to the rear and got into Littell & Co.’s place. He found it filled with smoke and there was an overpowering smell of powder and charcoal. After the smoke had partiaily cleared away he saw pieces of live charcoal scat- l(-reg around which had ignited a quantity of excelsior. He quickly extinguished the flames and made a careful search for the cause of the explosion. In the center of the store there was a barrel about half full of live charcoal, which is used in the works for soldering purposes. The barrel had been burst asun- der, and on looking around he saw a pow- der-flask_which had been burst open, and on touching it he found that it was hot. The mystery was explained. Bome one with a sinister motive in view had shortly before the works were closed for the. day slipped the powder-flask into the barrel and Aenly covered it over with the live charcoal. As soon as the heat melted the solder round the bottom of the flask the powder exploded and scattered the live charcoal over the place, setting fire to the excelsior, the evident intention be- ing to burn down the building. The flask would contain one pound of “We have not yet been able to discover | the miscreant,”” said the Fire Marshal last The Exploded Powder-Flask. [Sketched by a “Call” artist.] night, “but hope to do so soon. Whoever did it must have been actuated by a feeling of revenge and that is the clew we have been working upon, “If Mr, Bird had not fortunately been detained in his office later than usual the fire would have got considerable headway before being discovered as few people are in that lecality after half-past 5 o’clock. “The barrel stood about fifteen feet from the front door and it was easy for the man 10 watch his opportunity and slip the flask into it without being seen.” THE HIGHEST AIR-LEVEL. A Scientific Balloon Voyage Into the Extreme Upper Regions. The last and most important aeronautic voyage made by Dr. A. Berson in the bal- loon Pheenix, on the 4th of December of last year, is described by that gentleman in the Journal of Aeronautics and Atmos- pheric Physics, > On the evening of the 3d of December there was a stormy east wind, which made the possibility of the journey doubtful, but it fell during the night, and at 5 o’clock the next morning Lieutenants Gross and Marker proceeded, by the light of an elec- tric lamp, to fill the Phmnix with 2000 cubic meters of hydrogen gas. Dr. Berson somewhat altered his preparations to suit the special circumstances and aims of his aerial m‘r. He left the heavy anchor be- hind, and stretched out the long Schlepp- 5nrt grappling-strap on the ground in ?Ke irection of the wind before commencing his tour. The various instruments and baskets of utensils were hung up in such a manner as to facilitate the government of the balloon and the conscientious recording of scientific observations, even during the exhaustion Fraduced in the human body when at a high altitude. At 10:28 the command to **let loose” was given. In a quarter of an hour the balloon had already arrived ata height of 2000 meters. Btassfurt, the place where it was filled, was sailed over in a northwesterly direction. The whole of the beautiful Harz Mountains lay on the hori- zon below the voyager. The air in general was foggy and thick flocks of small clouds hid the earth now and then. At first the temperature rose. At a height of 1500 meters it was_more than 5 deg. centigrade above zero. Dr. Berson made double notes of the nndings of the instruments, cast a glance at the balloon and its ropes, looked down at the earth and threw out two sacks of ballast. An hour after the start he had risen higher than 5000 meters and the temperature sank to 18 deg. below zero and the air became very dry. The sun’s rays were weak. When 4200 meters’ height was reached, the aero- naut felt the first slight increase of his heart’s action after lifting the heavy sand- bags. At 11:45 A. M. he reached the height of 6000 meters and the temperature sank to 25,5 deg. below zero. He felt a little palpi- tation of the heart and slight general d‘i‘sf comfort, but was otherwise well. At 12 o’clock, one hour and a half after the start, he began, at a height of 6750 meters and a temperature of deg. below zero, to breathe artificial oxygen from the bl%uehe had with him, and "with excellent effect. At 12:25 the bold aeronaut had outpassed 8000 meters, at a temperature of 30 deg. be- low zero. HHe was now higher than he had been in the preceding May, when his high- est point had been 7930 meters, and this time he felt much better than then. He now never dared to cease breath- ing the bags of oxygen except for a few seconds at a "time and during those brief pauses he felt dizzy and danger- ously weak. But while continuing the owder. 1t bears the label of the Hazard | owder Company. It is in possession of | the Fire Marshal. artificial breathing he constantly and with relative ease fulfilled all necessary work, Only once did his eyes close in spite of himself, but the next moment he roused himself, scolding at his own negligence; his voice in the rarefied air sounded strangely muffled. When at the height of 7700 meters he had already risen higher than Glaisher, when the latter aeronaut took his last note of the temperature. At the height of 8200 meters Dr. Berson thought of the two French scientists who had died at that height. At about 8500 meters Berson reached the greatest height arrived at by Glaisher on September 5, 1&2, when the latter fainted away, only to awake alter his companions had stopped the bal- loon from rising any higher. But Dr. Berson, after momentary exam- ination of his own strength and his provision of ballast, ventured to rise higher. The temperature had al- ready sunk to 42 degrees below zéro (centi- rade). At the height of 9000 meters his gallonn passed through and above the thin stratum _of high eirrus elouds, which he had noticed high in the sky at his start. The veil-like stratum consisted not of i ce crystals, but of well-formed small snow- flakes. At 12:45 A. M., two and a half hours after the start, the barometer indicated 1 millimeters, which corresponds wit cight of 5600 meters, and a true height of 9150 meters. The ther- mometer stood at 47.9 degrees below zero. Even the quicksilver in the barometer had cooled to 29 degrees, and the ray ther- mometer, in full sunshine, indicated only 23.8 degrees. The balloon now stopped. There were only six large and one small sacks of ballast left, which were necessary for descendmgand landing. The balloon “stood above the thin snow clouds in a clear sky, which stretched faintly blue above. Dr. Berson felt so well that he could certainly have risen another 1000 meters, but he could not have done so without risking the whole of his successful journey. At this immense height, 9150 meters, he felt much better than a short time before. Dr. Berson opened the gas valve now and then and the Phoenix grad- ually descended, till at the height of 7500 meters it stopped and again begah to rise. Another pull at the valve caused it to redescend. At the height of 8500 meters it sailed over a river with mighty curves; it was the Eibe, at the part, as was after- ward found, near Domity. But now the terrible cold(}began to have effect. Dr. Berson, clothed as he was in thick furs, began to shake in every limb so violently that he was obliged to hold on to the rim of the basket. In slow waving motion the balloon sank and sank, and during the whole descent only one sack of ballast was thrown out at the height of {3500 meters to moderate the rapidity. Meanwhile a close stratum of heavy clouds had hidden the earth and prevented any ascertaining of the balloon’s position. The slow descent, however, allowed of another set of observations being taken, and now the highest temperature, about six degrees above zero, was found at the height of 1400 meters. Thence down to the earth it sank again five degrees, A whole hour after Herr Berson had been at the reatest height of his trip two of is fingers were frozen, but he brought them to life again by energetic friction. In the enormous cold the barograph had stopped for a while. In the afternoon, at 3 o'clock, the northern sky showed un- mistakable signs of “water,”’ and Dr. Ber- son decided that he must descend more rapidly. After a few more gentle ups and downs he could distinguish the noise and steam whistles of some large town. When 250 meters high there appeared at last below him the gray earth, covered by a cloudy sky. Now, with the drag-strap the balloon passed over a lake, and presently landed, with the help of some countrymen who came up, at 5:45 ». M. on a stubble: field at Schonwohld, in the west of Kiel, on the véry evening when the German Em- peror, the founder of the Phenix, hap- pened to be staying in that city. The ascent of the balloon had taken two hours and twenty minntes; the descent full three hours, The most important re- sults were as follows: 1. The arrival ata eater height than was ever reached be- ore. 2. The ascertaining of an unusually low temperature at that height and a much greater lowering of the temperature between 1500 meters and 9200 meters than was ever before accepted for the winter. 3. A change of temperature mornings and evenings till the height of 1500 meters. 4. Relatively very weak insulation even at the greatest height. 5. Humidity in the highest regions and fine mist in the sky to the enormous height of more than 10,000 meters. 6. Snowflake structure of the cirrus clouds at 9000 metres. 7. Tremend- ous increase of the swiftness of the wind upward, for, with almost perfect calm on the surface of the earth, more than 310 kilometers were made in five hours and seventeen minutes, which gives a medium swiftness of 16)4 meters per second. Lot DOWN IN TENNESSEE. An Overheard Bit of Bargaining That Came to Naught. One bright forenoon last fall, near a de- serted mill in the outskirts of Chattanooga, the following bit of Tennessee bargaining was overheard: An aged negro, driving an old. slowly moving mule hitched to a two-wheel dumpeart, came along. He was bound for a woodyard on the banks of the Tennessee River near by, whera that muddy stream sweeps around the foot of Cameron Hili and befins curving a grace- ful bow to the bold Lookout flumnain, which looms up before it. Justas the outtit had crossed a rickety culvert the negro was accosted with the customary ‘‘Howde?"’ by a lazy-looking native wearing a jeans suit and a broad-brimmed hat. ‘“‘Howde?” grunted the negro, as he stopped his mule with a fierce jerk, which sent the front of the wagon against the beast’s haunches and the shafts higher than its ears. When the cart had come to a standstill the young man took & portly chew of tobacco, slowly adjusting his right foot on the hub of the cartwheel, and, with slow, measured accents, asked : “‘How much be ye sellin’ wood for?"’ “Two bits a load, boss.”’ After mature deliberation and mastic a tion the prospective purchaser drawled out: “Two bits a load ?” “Hit’s little nuff, boss,” replied the colored man. ‘‘Hit leaves me only two shillin’ fer totin’ gin ldpav two shillin’ fer th’ wood at th’ yard—little 'nuff fer totin’.” “Yes, I reckon.” Then the languid young man picked up a stick and began whittling,” and the teamster sat mute in his cart for five min- utes, breaking the silence finally with: “D'ye reckon you'll wanta jag o’ wood 2’ “That’s what I 'lowed I would, but I dunno,” replied the other. There was another silence of ten min- utes, broken only by the slash of the jack- knife through the vellow pine stick. A horseman rode by “totin’*"a bag of meal in front of the saddle. After the usual speculation as to who ‘the stranger ‘“mout be,” the whittling and the blank-staring processes continued for several more min- utes. Finally, when the stick had been all w}gabtled away, the prospective purchaser said ; “‘Wall, I don’t 'spect I'll take any wood to-day.” His foot fell lazily from the hub, the wood-hauler clucked to his mule and the two men slowly went their respective ways,—Chicago Inter Ocean, ——————— Chinese Refinement and Redmondites.

ROSENTHAL'S STORE THAT [Sketched by a IS THREATENED WITH SEIZURE. “Call” artist.] pointed by Judge Hebbard, and J. Carey, the keeper appointed by Collector of In- ternal Revenue Welborn, both claim the store and its contents. The stock is valued at about $10,000, and Deputy Internal Rev- enue Agent B. M. Thomas, who in com- pany with Deputy Revenue Collectors Lannigan and Chandler made the seizure, is confident that the whole establishment will escheat to the United States Govern- ment. The Superior Court has its receiver in ch arge, however, and as Collector Welborn @i not wish to antagonize the State authorities, he first of all communicated with Judge Hebbard. His Honor has not yet given a decision in the case, but the Federal officials are, nevertheless, going ahead, and United States District Attorney Foote is now preparing the papers in the case. Collector Welborn, as a matter of precaution, has submitted the facts in the case to the authorities in Washington, but he has no doubt whatever but what he will receive instructions to-day to confis- cate the establishment. As Mrs. Rosenthal, however, asserts that during the last month or so she has only been running the store as an assistant to Receiver Riley there are tiable to be some complications before the matter is settled. Mrs. Fanny Rosenthal is well known in San francisco. For years her husband kept a cigar-stand on Montgomery, near Sacramento. A short time ago they moved to 624 Market and fitted up one of the most extensive places on that thorough- fate. The husband and wife did not agree verty well, and the latter finally sued for divorce. She secured the decree and nearly all the community property. In revenge the husband used to go down to the shop and make faces at her through the window. For this she had him arrested, but finall; forgave him and secured his release. A month ago Rosenthal died, and ever since the widow has been trying to settle up the estate. R Revenue Agent Thomas said yesterday: Mrs, Rosenthal has filed the bonds necessary to enable her to run a cigar and tobacco mant- factory, but that does not entitle her to sell the manniactured article without paying the in- ternal revenne duty. On cigars the duty is 30 cents a_hundred, on cigarettes 75 cents a thousand, and on tobacco 8 cents a pound. Mrs. Rosenthal has been selling these goods over the counter to her customers without paying duty, and she has also been_refilling boxes of some well-known brands. She employed a Chinese to help her, and between them they turned out a very 0od article, but then we did not get_the duty. here is no doubt whatever but that we have the right to confiscate the entire establish- ment, but then we have no desire to be dis- courteous, and of course nothing will be done without first consulting Judge Hebbard. Receiver B. A. Riley says he knows nothing aboat the case in dispute. He has kept a close watch over the business of the store, and as far as he coula ascertain everything was legitimate and above- board. Heis not an expert on tobacco, and one cigar or cigarette is practically the game to him as another, Mrs. Rosenthal when seen yesterday laid the blame of the whole trouble on a young man named Ben Jacobs. He tsed ‘to be an assistant in the store, and she dismissed him because he interfered too much in the management of the business. In revenge he told lies, so she says, to the internal revenue officers. She denies positively that she attempted to evade the payment of the revenue duties, but nevertheless Collector Welborn and Revenue Agent Thomas are confident that they have a sure case against her. “The only cigars I ever mnnu%acmred." said Mrs. Rosenthal, in conclusion, “were cheroots for the Bo- hemian Club.” REAL ESTATE TRANSAOTIONS.

A very seasonable present has just been made to the Zoological Society in the shape of a snowy owl. is bird has not been on view at the gardens for a considerable {eriod of time, so that it has a double in- erest. The bird is one of those that have erept or climbed or intruded into the list of British birds by reason of its occasion- ally condescending to visit the more civil- ized regions of this country; but it never breeds_here, preferring the snowy wastes of the North. " It is one of the few Arctic creatures that preserve all the year round the snowy dress which is by so many only assumed at_the commencement of winter. The late' Bishop Stanley said that the snowy owl was so fully alive to the advan- tages of its costume on snow-covered ground that it carefully selected snowy &awhec whereon to settle.—London Daily ews. ———— The engines of a first-class steel man of ‘war cost nearly $700,000. s T A Harper, Stnfrds L Gerlach G wf, Stockton | DRY GOODS.
