One toast was to the President of the French republic and the other 10 the President of the United States. The *“Old Friends” club gave a clambake at Charles Dexter’s, Sausalito, yesterday. The af- fair was strictly of the “si party” order, but was none the less enjoyable for that. Theodore C. Cockrill, as master of ceremonies, was all that could be desired. The menner in which he looked after the comfort of the several hun- dred guests present reflected great credit on his hospitality, Ex-GovernorJames A. Johnson 1s.president of the ‘‘Old Friends” Club. George A, Friedrich, 8 saloon-keeper at 406 Dupont street, was arrested early Sunday morning by Sergeant Gillen and Officer Cole- man in his saloon and charged at the station with grand larceny.

He Vigorously Answers Epithets by General Warner of the Bi- metallic Party. Alva Udell, the secretary of the State Silver League, bas removed his headquar- ters from Los Angeles to this City and in- tends to wage the most aggressive kind of warfare against the adherents of the gold standard. Incidentally he will endeavor to em- phasize the opposition of the league to General A. J. Warner, the chairman of the executive committee of the American Bi- metallic party. A few days ago a dispatch criticizing TUdell was sent out over the country through the Associated Press from Colfax, ‘Wash., where General Warner is visiting his brother, C. H. Warner, a prominent Democratic politician. It made General Warner call Udell a “crank” and an “an- archist.” Mr. Udell and the leacue have gone on record as protesting against the forcing of Congressman Joseph C. Sibley’s candida- ture upon the bimetallists for President for next year’s campaign. This may explain the reason for the circulation of General ‘Warner’s utterances. The dispatch also states that Udell had threatened to de- nounce General Warner and the Sibley movement generally. In reply, Udell stated yesterday: I made no such threat, I simply told Warner ‘what our probable action woul . Our party organized in December last, and Warner put up & scheme to capture the movement by holding a self-constituted caucus in February, and has declared himself dictator, by what rightave cannot discover. We hold his letter dated the6th of April, asking us to recognize his committee as the head of the movement, and requesting our committee to act as the State executiye committeedor California, We protested against his forcing Mr. Sibley upon us, and forthwith he tried by insane and con- temptible methods to destroy us and build up & movement of his own. By resolutions sprung at a meeting at San Francisco, he asked Governor Budd to disor- nize the Democratic party that honored udd with the Governorship, in a vain effort to get the Governor committed to the Sibley movement., Failing to so gain _his point, he now denounces us as cranks and anarchists, as every gold bug cuckoo and corporation hireling names every person who criticizes dishonest methods. Our report and resolutions speak for themselves, and brand his epithets as & tissue of falschoods. We deal wit! inciples, and not with men. rm We speak well of Mr. Sibley, but Warner is beneath our official notice. When he resorts 1o personal abuse of men whose co-operation he has solicited, he brands himself as a failure in the conduct of the National campaign. No man who follows such a leader. VARLEY WAS VIGOROUS, Some Strong Things Said .by the Re- vivalist at Central Methodist Church. The English revivalist, Rev. Henry Var- ley, said some things at the Central Methodist Episcopal Church, on Mission street, last night that fell like sledge-ham- mer blows upon the big audience that filled all the available space there. Three “religious sinners” he chose to illustrate the evil of the disobedience and that of rejecting the means of grace offered to transgressors. These were Camn, who murdered his brother because Abel’s sacr1- fice of a slain lamb was accepted and his offering of the fruits of the earth was not; Balaam, the venal prophet, who “was will- ing to sell his people, Israel, for gold,” and Korah, the presumptuous demagogue, who considered him: just as as Moses. He alluded to the sin of Afimbedi- in the followi us manner: oo the amount of rime Commiiied in memherfihl{ of the order is about 6000 in this City and 1000 in Oakland. Grand Master Toohey is very enthusiastic in this affair and be‘lile\'el it would be a great benefit to the order. ‘BEFORE THE FODTLIGHTS, The Lilliputians Score a Tri- umph on Their Opening Night. New Attractions at the Different City Theaters for This Week. A giant walked down the aisle of the Baldwin Theater last night. He is 8 feet | 10 inches in height and weighs 412 pounds. His nativity is Minnesota and his age is 21 years. He has a hand the size of a ham, while the weight of his foot is sufficient to crush to death any ordinary policeman falling in his path. And this is the person who stalks across the stage and exchanges compliments with t! Lilliputian’s Humpty Dumpty, who is just about big enough to get lost in a collar-box. This unusual spectacle is only one of the many that come and go in the procession of novelties which the famous band of lit- tle comedians have brought with them to San Francisco after an absence of two years. The house was packed, and a perpetual flow oiéood humor showed how afieenjoyed the performance. The travels of Pantaloon and Humpty Dumpty are full of adventure, novelty and excitement, while the ballets, dancing and tableaux are beautiful and realistic. The costumes are especially effective in point of color and arrangement, while the stage setting, ‘farticularily in the diamond scenes and ballet of precious stones and metals, is an artistic triumph. The ribbon throwing by ballet dancers was a new feature, and was very pretty. “‘Captain Swift,” a nigh-class comedy- drama, will be presented at the Colum bia Theater to-night. In this fh’ H. D. Blakemore will make his first llppear- ance, and Miss Jennie Kenmark will make her debut. A drama never before presented to a San Francisco audience will be the treat for the patrons of Morosco’s Grand Opera-house this evening. It is entitled, “A Man Among Men,” and is from the pen of ‘William Hudson, a prominent dramatist. The principal parts will be sustained by H. Coulter Brinkner, F. J. Butler and Miss Maud Edna Hall. At the Tivoli Opera-house there will be offered the opera entitled *“Dorothy,” in which Raffael first appeared in this house. The opera will be carefully staged. and Miss Tillie Salinger will take the part of Dorothy.

SUPPLIES ARE NEARLY GONE. Dr. Titus Recelved a Small Supply of Medicines, but Food Is Growing Scarce. Dr. Titus, Superintendent of the City and County Hospital, has not appealed to the public in vain. Yesterday he received $10 worth of drugs in response to an appeal made by him through the press. The drugs received were just enough to last through the day. They were given by Root & Co., 64 Howard sireet, and were assorted with skill. But medicines and materials for banda- ges are not the only things that Dr. Titus needs for the care of his many patients. After next Wednesday, if the Supreme Court does not decide the question of tax n accordance with the needs of the there will be a very light diet in the and County Hospital. have made provision for meat until next Wednesday,” said Dr. Titus yester- day, “but what can happen after that is something beyond my ability to say. I made arrangements to-day with ~the butcher who provides us with mutton to bring in his usual semi-weekly sugply. This will run us fairly well until Wednes- day night. If the Supreme Court does not act favorably in our case before that time we will have no meat for Thursday.” “In what condition is your other stores?’’ was asked. 5 “They are in a very precarious condi- tion,” ‘was the reply. “We have flour enough to last until the end of this month, but in the other lines of groceries we have not enough to last this week. As I have already stated, if the Supreme Court does rot give us relief we will be in a state of famine unless the public comes forward and belps us out in a substantial manner. It does no good to recieve odds and ends of merchandise unless there is séme system aboutit. I have been informed to-day by certain dealers in drugs and surgical sup- plies that I can call on them for certain 00ds in that line, but medicines and gandnges do not fill all the waunts of a hospital. The patients must be fed aswell as medically treated and I don’t see how it is going to be done if all our supplies are cut off, as they certainly will be within a few days. i *‘If the public of this City knew the true state of affairs there would be no danger of any patient in this hospital suffering for the necessaries of life. I am sure that donations of cash woulG come in abun- dantly. And ready cash is the only prac- tical way of tiding over this difficulty. There are so many things needed—not in great quantities, but in variety—that one contractor cannot sup&)ly the demand even if he were so disposed. I would suggest that the CALL business office be made a sort of repository for cash donations, and that the BALL acknowledge receipts from day to day. In that way the donors and the public would know exactly what was done for the City’s sick and poor.” N GOLDEN GHTE P Many Listen to Popular Music in the People’s Pleasure Ground. Yy T Herr Scheel Did Not Wield the Baton—Advice to the Long- Haired Bicyclist. Notwithstanding the fact that the wind was high yesterday and there were great clouds of dust many people went out to Golden Gate Park, and those who went were not sorry for the people’s pleasure ground was protected from the heavy blow outside its limits. The conservatory was crowded, the mu- seum had its share of visitors, but the largest number assembled around the band shell. The programmes announced that Fritz Scheel would direct the musicians as usual, but the audience was®surprised to note his absence and to see A. Spadini wield the baton. What they missed in the absence of Herr Scheel was made up in the programme of popular selections pre- sented. Herr Scheel had made up his mind to go to Los Angeles before the selection of numbers had been decided upon, so it fell to Mr. Spadini to select them. The manner in which every num- ber was received and the loud calls for an encore after each testified to the wisdom in selecting music understood and appre- ciated by the throngs who on Sunday visit the park. The entire Hawaiian band was for a time in the audience and gave vent to its approval of several numbers by loud clap- ing of hands. A solo from the* Bohemian irl,” by Walter Colverd, on the euphon- ium, was applauded again and again, While it cannot be denied that Herr Scheel ?resenfled some exquisite music that was aultlessly performed, the comments heard on’ all sides yesterday established the fact that the programme presented was better calculated to please those of simple tastes who go to listen to the music. The yonnglmsn who wears long hair, rides a bicycle and who was some time since mistaken for a girl in male attire on a bike, entertained a great crowd of peo- ple by trick bicycle riding. He displayed eat skill and was watched with interest. fie seemed to enjoy the attention he was attracting until someone in the crowd called out, ‘‘Johnny, get your hair cut.” Then a scowl came across his somewhat feminine features and assuming the ordi- nary poeition on his wheel he rode away. The grand court remains very much fn the same condition that it wasin when the Midwinter Fair buildings surrounded it. Nothing will be done by the Commission- ers until after it is ascertained how much money will be approflrmted for the park this year. The band shell will be removed to the grand court, but _how it will be ar- ranged, said Suj mgmmfént McLaren, has not yet been determined. “There are hundreds and hundreds of bicycles in the park nowadays,” said Cap- tain Thomson, *‘but ve few teams, and they seem to be growing less every Sunday, To-day the course in front of the music- stand was not half filled. I tell you that the wheels are hurting the horse and buggy business.” Travel to the ocean beach and Sutro Heights was light, but few caring to face the sharp ocean breeze. DURBANT'S SABBATH. Greatly Interested by a Visit of Salva- tion Army Soldiers. Theodore Durrant, who is accused of murdering two young girls, passed a quiet Sabbath in his cell in the County Jail. He was visited by his parents, with whom he chatted as pleasantly as though the|: shadow of the inllowuhld not fallen across his path. In the afternoon the soldiers of the Salvation Army made their usual Sun- day visit to the prisoners. Durrant list- ened to the songs and short addresses of the Christians with apparent interest. The lassies did not pass his cell without notic- ing him, They sopped and talkea with | Almighty Doliar (Gigwr) 1 the accused and offered such words of con- solation and spiritual _advice as they deemed appropriate. Before departing they gave him a handful of tracts and re- ligious papers which he spent the re- mainder of the day in perusing. ———————— A BAND ON HIS BILL. The Big Pelican at the Park Was the Only Performer, Yet the Crowd Was Pleased. Several hundred people were intensely amused yesterday afternoon at the queer antics of the usually dignified pelican who swims around in Stow Lake at Golden Gate Park. Of course, & small boy was at the bottom of it and the bird is undoubtedly still wondering how it all hagpened‘ The pelican's enormous bill with_its membraneous sack has made the bird an object of more than ordinary interest to visitors. So much bread was thrown to it for the sake of seeing the big bill open and close that the pelican grew quite tame and esterday it swam up to take a piece of bmad from the hand of a small boy on the ank. The youngster had a rubber band in his hand. This he slipped over the big bird’s bill. The pelican at once felt something decidedly unusual had happened. He tried to shake the band off. The band didn’t move; then the bird opened its bill, but asit gave its head an impatient shake the muscles reiaxed. “Snap,’”’ the rubber band got in its work and the mandibles came together with a noise like the slapl)‘)ing of slats. The big bird looked surprised. Itsround eyes were focused on 1ts bill, which it again essayed to open. But the rubber band, being near the end, had too great a leverage and the mandibles could get sep- arated four or five inches only to audibly snap together. A most amusing struggle ensned. The bird’s bill opened oniy to snap shut. Each timethe pelican was more surprised than before. Tt tried to rub the pand off on its back. Then it stuck its bill under water and in the mud. Still the band stuck. Then the unhappy fowl made for the land. As it walketf‘xt lifted its big, broad feet unnaturally high, and after going a short distance brought its right foot down on its left. Then it couldn’t pick the left foot up. The ungainly bird, with its big bill stuck heavenwards, teetered for a while and then lost its balance and fell over. This re- leased the footand the pelican started for the water, where it continued to struggle with the tenacious band while the crowd fairly shrieked its applause. CHARMED THE AUDIENCE: The Hawaiian' Band Plays to a Crowded House With Success. Senor Libornlo Has Something In- teresting to Say About Hawalian Music. Sweeter music than that rendered by the Hawaiian National Band at Metropolitan Temple last night is not often heard in San Francisco. The auditorium was crowded and the audience evidenced their appreciation in a manner that was inspiring, even if it did tax the lung capacity of the accommo- dating foreigners. The most delightful part of the pro- gramme, however, was to be found in the native songs. Alti:ough unintelligible, so far as words go, the music was plainly there, and that was all the audience cared for. Their weird chants generally open up with a solo, accompanied by the flute, the piccoloand the violin, the chorus gradually ‘W. Aylett, Treasurer of the Hawaiian Band. [From a photograph.) joining in until the whole is swelling into a grand musical finale. ivery song was heartily encored, the sin; good humoredly -~ responding to each call. The first number on th&grogmmme last nignt was Codina’s march, “Lacatecas,” followed by a composition by Rossini, and Bellini’s “The Pirate.” Senon Libornio gaye a saxophone solo entitled-“Liliuo- kalani,” which was so well played he had to respond to a second and a third call. Later in the evening Libornio favorea the audience with another saxophone solo called ‘‘Keoni Ko,” that was also well received. Of the native songs, smhably the best was “Lei Lehna” (The Blossom of Hilo). This piece was so well rendered that the singers were forced to repeat it twice. e evening’s programme rounded up with a lot of instrumental selections, in which a medley by Brooks called ‘“Boston Bake” was the favorite. Senor Lebornio seeing that the native songs are greatly appreciated has deter- mined to add one more to the regular pro- gramme. To-night there will be four native songs, which, if the singers are as accommodating as usual, will probably be increased to eight before the evening is over. In speeaking of Hawaiian music lmn‘;i night after the concert, Senor Lebornio said: “The Hawaiian melodies are very sim- ilar to the Spanish, being generally of a soft, gentle character, though we have some war songs that are fiery enough. Our airs and songs, I mean those that we are singing here, are all composed by the natives. ia an art or science Hawalians know little or nothing of music. “Everything with us in the musical line comes in the nature of an inspiration in which no set rule or style is followed. We sing asong because we feel it. Music as an art has with us no literal foundation. “Among our native instruments is one called uliuli, which is made from a fruit common in Hawaii. The instrument is hollow and the music_comes/from a little rock placed inside. We it simply as an accompaniment to a‘Song. There is also another peculiar instrument called hokiokio. Itis really a flute, though the natives use the nose instead of the mouth when playing it.”’ 3 Thexl)o lowing programme is announced for to-night. rch, “Volunteer” (Boettger); overture, "P&t and Peasant” (Su] pe;;"‘w-lu, “Danube Waves” (Ivanovici).

She calied with her mother Miss Cora Feder, Who Is to Be Ysaye’s Special Pupil. (From a photograph.] on the great violinist, at his apartments in the Baldwin Hotel, last Friday afternoon. They were courteously received, and at their host’s request Miss Feder played Mendelssohn’s *‘Concerto.” Ysaye became enraptured over the performance and pro- nounced it as fine in execution as he had ever heard from as young a performer. He accompanied Miss Feder on the piano, and when the piece was finished he, with that impetuosity common to genius, insisted that the young lady accompany him back to Brussels and become a cele- brated virtuoso. He characterized her playing as sublime. It bad the fire and soul of genius. Mrs. Feder had long since made plans for having her daughter finish her musical education in Berlin, butsuch an offer from the great Ysaye was not to be overlooked. He-said he would place Miss Feder directly under the chaperonage of his wife, and that she shouhfreceive one lesson a week from him. On learning that N. Landsberger had been Miss Feder’s local instructor, Ysaye immediately called on the former, and the two spent some time in discussing the rare ability of the young pupil. He also pre- sented Mr. Landsberger with a handsome souvenir, somewhat similar to that which Miss Feder received from him. The latter is a pen-and-ink sketch, in a dainty frame, of the first bar of Mendelssohn’s “Con- certo,” with an autograph centence from the writer in French. Miss Feder and her family are honored and delighted by the high compliment | imid her skill as a violinist, as well as by he rare opportunity- offered for the perfec- tion of her musical education under such eminent tutelage. “I will make you a firand performer,” said Ysaye. “You shall be my especial pupil, and in a few years you will astonish the world.” Therefore Miss Feder will study for the stage—that is, not in the accepted sense of | the term, but with motives of a purely artistic nature. She will go to Brussels in- stead of Berlin, and become a_favorite and special pupil of the great master. isses graduate from the medical department of the State University in July, and it is the plan of their parents as modified that they shall accompany Miss Cora to Brussels. They will probably leave for Europe the first of August. Miss Cora Feder is 19 years of age and is at present a pupil of the High School. Besides being a musician of unusual abil- ity she possesses rare talents. She has painted a number of fine pieces, amon, them being one in full length of hemeé with her favorite instrument in her hands, which has been complimented in the highest terms by local artists. Peter and the Keys. Rey. F. L. Higgins delivered a sermon yester- day morning at the Swedenborgian Church on O’Farrell street, near Webster, from a text in Matthew xvi:15-19, which speaks of Peter and the rock on which Christ would build his church, and where the Lord said to Peter, I will give unto thee the keys of thekingdom of heaven, and whatsoever tnou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatso- ever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” It was the eyil in himself, which if Peter bound it on earth would be bound in heaven, and the goud affections, which if loosed on earth should be loosed in heaven, for the earth means the natural degree of man’s mind, while heaven means the spiritual degree. The binding of the evil in the work of rege: eration is in fact the loosing of the spiritual and vice versa. NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. MECHANICS’ PAVILION. LAST 6 NIGHTS! GLEASON’S .
