TOMLINS' MUSICAL SCHEME. A Five Weeks' Course In Singing. Principalship of Franklin Grammar. The Board of Education, Dr. Clinton presiding, met as a committee of the whole last night to consider the changes in the rules as proposed by the Committee on Rules, and which have already been published in TaE Carr. Incidentally there was an animated discussion on the subject of music, during which considerable SCENE IN TILLMANN & BENDEL'S WAREHOUSE AFTER THE FIRE. fined the flames, a disastrous conflagration might have resulted. The “‘water tower” and “gallery” stream working together did most effective work. The former poured a steady stream into the third story of the building and the latter was worked on the lower floors. Tillmann & Bendel will not be heavy losers by the fire. Their stock was valued at about $45,000 and the insurance was $39,500. A considerable quantity of the coffee and beans stored in the warehouse were saved, and although damaged by wa- ter and smoke they can be dried and used again as an inferior article. The building, owned by Maison Bros., was ruined, and the loss on it will be about $10,000. The adgoining building, owned by George Robbins, and occupied Dg Lee Wo & Co. as a shoe factory and Lee Soon as a cigar factory, was slightly burned and the contents damaged by water. The building on the ether side, owned and occupied by E. T. Anthony, was also slightly dam- aged. There were two alarms turned in from box 31, the first at 6:45 and the second at 6:51 A. M. When Chief Sullivan arrived on the scene he at once saw there was no ho of saving the merchandise, so he got the water tower in position and flooded the building. The contents were composed al- most entirely of coffee, spices, beans and teas, while in the basement were oils and liquors, which added greatly to the fierce- ness of the flames when once they started burning. 3 The tire is supposed to haye started in the rear of Tililmann & Bendel’s. A new coffee-roaster was put in about a month ago and a defect in its construction is blamed for the loss. Close to the roaster there was an elevator shaft, and once the flames reached it _they went roaring up to the top floor. No doubt the fire smold- dered all night and suddenly broke out in the morning. The walls of the structure are cracked in a dozen places and the build- ing will probably be condemned. The watchman on the beat noticed a peculiar smell of something burning enrlfl in the morning, but did not pay very muc attention to it. H. Meyer of the New Man- hattan saloon, on the corner of Commer- cial and Battery, came to the conclusion at 6:30 that there was a fire in Tillmann & Bendel’s, but his key would not open the alarm box, and he also paid no more atten- tion to the matter. Two other fires kept the department busy during the day and early morning. At 2:21 A. M. a_ building on Tennessee street, owned by Christian Reis and occu- pied by George Recorni, was burned to the ground. He lived in the upper flat, and used the lower one asa fruitstore. The fire spread to the stable, and two horses and a wagon were burned up. E. Luke had in the same stable three horses and a buggy, and 0. Koblock had one horse. All perished in the flames, The buildings were valued at $500 and the horses and wagons at §1000. The alarm at 12:38 r. M. from box 512 was for a fire in the Pacific Box Factory, on the corner of Fourth and Kentucky streets. H. Stevenson, the fireman, was at work, and a few minutes previously had fed the furnace. Through some unexplainable means a considerable quantity of gas was generated, and in an instant there was an explosfcn, the furnace doors were burst open, and along jet of flame rushed out enveloping the fireman and setting fire to the bin in which the sawdust used as fuel was stored. Stevenson’s clothes were al- most burned off his body, his hair, whis- kers and eyebrows were all gone, and alto- gether he presented a pitiable spectacle when rescued. He was anointed with oil, a physician was called in, and under his advice Stevenson was removed to his home. His injuries are not thought to be dangerous. AN ATTORNEY'S ORIME. ‘W. H. Allen Held to Answer for Swin- dling Mrs. Lucy M. Keeley. The preliminary examination of W, H. Allen, an attorney, on the charge of ob- taining money and goods by false pre- tenses, was held before Judge Low yester- day afrernoon, and Allen was held to ;nsger before the Superior Court 1n $2000 onds. The complaining witness was Mrs, Luc; M, Keeley. Bhe traded five horses an wants an assurance that support will be provided for herself and children, and com- plains that her husband is festively in- clined. Yet in some inexplicable way, she alleges, her father-in-law, who lives with them, is to blame for his son’s moral vaga- ries. AT THE CITY THEATERS, A Real Trilby Dance to Be Introduced Into “A Black Sheep.” New Singersatthe Grand—Orpheum Audlences Now Warble in Chorus. Baldwin audiences have taken very kind- 1y to the bright humor of “The Amazons.” The play is based upon a somewhat im- possible proposition, as no sane nineteeth century mother in these days of women’s rights would be likely to insist upon her daughters going through life travestied a8 sons. However, the very impossibility of “The Amazons’ adds to its humor, and the girls look so charming in their manly costumes and act so well that every one is too much occupied in enjoying the performance to question the feasibility of the plot as ap- plied to real life. California Theater. “A Black Sheep” is still pursuing the joyous tenor of his way at the California Theater to the no small amusement of the audiences thereof. Next week a noveity to San Francisco is to be introduced in the shape of a ‘*“T'rilby” dance, which includes the utter discarding of shoes and stockings. ‘“Captain Herne, U. 8. A.,” stirs all the patriotism in the house at Morosco’s. The cast is an unusually large one and the stage accessories are perfect. A diva is a novelty at the Grand, and a welcome one, for Miss Myra Davis, who appears in that capacity, is a sweet singer, as well as being a natural and pleasing ac- tress. Music is further represented in' the persons of the quartet of singers in the union camp, the church scene, etc. These vocalists have to respond to many en- cores nightly. . Columbia Theater. Dion Boucicault’s sporting comedy, “The Jilt,"” is scoring the success that gen- erally attends the proauctions of the Frawley Company at the Columbia Thea- ter. Frawley is in_his element as the quick-witted young Irishman and all the other characters are in capable hands. Tivoli Opera-House, “Satanella’ is running smoothly at the Tivoli. Louise Royce is a distinct im- provement on Alice Neilson in the title role, and William H. West gives satisfac- tion as Arimanes. Their duet in the fourth act is especially applaaded. The Orpheum. The Orpheum is bringing out the vocal abilities of its audiences this week and to judge from the hearty way in which people join in the chorus to Johnnie Carroll’s singing of “Paradise Alley” people evi- dently enjoy warbling in company. John- nie Carroll has become a very popular war- bler on nis own account during his three days at the Orpheum. The Bland sisters, two graceful dancers and singers, are also much applauded. : On the whole this week’s biliis a strong one, The Aloas: Gracie Plaisted’s bright comedy acting is winning her considerable applause at the Alcazar. She is weil supported by the Dailey Company. Marie Fremon in Good Hands. Mrs. Rose Freemon, who tried to smother her only child, Marie Fremon, has been adjudged insane znd sent to the asylum at Ukiah, Judge Black allowed Mrs. Mary Ann Brown, living at 334 Golden Gate avenue, to take the child . ) knowledge of the art was developed by the directors. .The way it came about was by the introduction of a resolution by Director Murdock, authorizing William 8. Tomlins of Chicago to visit tlie granimar and high schools to test the voices of the pupils in one or more classrooms, and that the pupils be allowed to attend rehearsals of choruses to be arranged by him, no fee to be charged for theinstruction. The second part of the resolution read as follows: Resolved, That the faculty of the Girls’ High School be authorized to give two concerts un- der the direction of Mr. Willlam 8. Tomlins, in aid of a plano fund, the admission to be not more than 50 cents. Mr. Murdock explained that Mr. Tom- lins’ method was the greatest in the United States and that he had books to sell illus- trating that method, which the pupils could purchase at cost price. It would not be obligatory en the pupils to attend the instructions, which would be given down- town, Mr. Tomlins will give a course of five weeks and for his remuneration he asks for 75 per cent of the net receipis of the concerts, the other 25 per cent to go to the piano fund. Director Stone thought that the scheme Wwas a very §ood one—for Mr. Tomlins. “I was obliged to sit for forty minutes under Mr. Tomlins,”” said he, “and I was not very much impressed with him. What is his method, anyhow ?” Mr. Murdock could not teil exactly, but he knew it was a very good one, because it had been strongly recommended. Assistant Superintendent Babcock did not think that very much instruction could be instilled into children in five weeks, and Mr. Stone said that the scheme would be a pretty good one for Mr. Tom- lins to sell his books. Mr. Murdock called attention to the fact that there was no ob- ligation on the part of the pupils to attend the lectures; the board only permitted them to do so. On this explanation the resolution was adoptea. The Judiciary and Rules committees were authorized to act in the case of Fannie 8. Soule. Miss Soule was deposed by the old board, and took the case into court. She got a judgment, and it is said that she hasexpressed a willingness to resign if her back salary is paid. : Of the rules agreed upon, the following, relating to the qualifications of teachers, was considered the most important: Section 165. When the substitute class falls below thirty in number, & competitive examin- ation may be held at the Hiscretion of ihe Board of Education by the City Board of E. amination ot such as may apply, provided that all applicants must be graduates of some normal school or other institution of learning ;7( equel rank, with & regular diploma tiere- rom. The examination shall include such written and oral questions as ml¥ be necessary to thor- oughly test general intelligence and scholar- ship, and give an fmpression of health, dispo- sition and character. Those having the highest standing in the examination, but not to exceed twenty-four in number, shall be afforded an actusl test of ability to teach and of skill in handling a class, and for the 'purpwe of ascer- taining this the City Board of Examination is authorized to select any school or schools for the necessary experimental work; and princi- pals are instructed to ald and co-operate with them, as requested by the Superintendent. Of those taking the teaching test, the six who, in the judgment of the City Board of Examina- tion, are the best qualified shall be recom- mended for appointment, and xhtu be deemed to be entitled to be appointed to the substitute class in the order of their recommendation. Chairman Clinton introduced a resolu- tion on behalf of the minority of the board asking for the appointment of Pat- rick McGee to the position of general jobber, created by the resolution, at $2 50 er day. 1t was represented that McGee End been employed twice in the gardener’s department and twice discharged for no reason, The board refused to reinstate him. Anogher resolution which was voted down was that relating to the remuner- ating of the Misses Callaban. The two teachers were unable to attend to their du- uence of having been quar- ties in_con! antined in their homes. Mr. Murdock thought that to pay the ladies would establish a bad practice, and so did the ms‘jgri:y of the board. 5 The question of appointing a principal for the Franklin Grammar School, made vacant by the promotion of J. G. Kenned{ to the principalship of the Normal School, Normal School to the Franklin, and make Mr. Kennedy principal of both schools at a Sood round “salary. This will probably be one by the board at its next meeting, on ‘Wednesday afternoon, July 31. SANITARY DISTRICTS. Attorney-General Fitzgerald Has Given an Important Opinion. Attorney-General Fitzgerald has rendered an important decision upon the formation of sanitary districts under the act of 1891. Under the law when twenty-five free- holders desire_the formation of such dis- trict they petition the Supervisors and set forth the proposed boundaries. The mat- ter is then submitted to the people, who vote for or against the formation of the district, and if defeated the matter cannot be taken up again sooner than twelve months. The Bupervisors at San Jose wished an opinion as to whether or not the defeat of this formation of & proposed district prevented the formation of another district embracing the whole or a part of the territory in the first proposed district, and through District Attorney B. A. Her- rington addressed the Attorney-General. The latter’s reply is as follows: Your letter of the 16th inst. asking my con- struction of section4 of an act entitied “An act to provide for the formation, government, control and dissolution of sanitary districts,” ete., apgro\'ed March 31, 1891 (stats 1891, 223), to hand. It Ismdy opinion that if upon an election the proposed sanitary district should be defeated, as grovided in section 4, another district with different boundaries may be pro- posed and organizea under said act,embracing either a partor the whole of the former dis- trict, and that the limitation of one year does not apply to proceedings for the organization of suci other districts. However, the change must be substantial. A mere nominal change wouald not affect the identity of the first pro- posed district. RUMPUS I THE BOARD. Sensational Scene ata Meeting of the People’s Home Bank Directors. S. K. Thornton Lets Loose on Taylor 8. Williams—A New Officer Elected. A scene sensational and verging on the tragic took place at the directors’ meeting of the People’s Home Bank in the Mills| building yesterday. No blood was shed, but high words were used, and threats of personal violence freely made. There has been a deal of hard feeling since Taylor S. Williams gave to the press statements derogatory to Receiver Sheehan’s manage- ment of the bank. At the meeting yesterday Sheehan sub- mitted to the directors vouchers for the purchase of carpets, and was about to pro- ceed with an explanation when Director Williams arose and began to say that he had not been correctly reported in the papers. Sheenan replied: “I have nothing to say to you. The case, so far as you are con- cerned, is in the hands of Judge Carpen- ter, my attorney, who holds the evidence against you.” The interruption by Williams annoyed Director 8. K. Thornton, who shouted to Williams: “8it down! You are no gentleman!"’ A thousand black dashes, each with an exclamation point, would represent with some degree of accuracy the intensity of the rest of Director Thoruton’s address. The speech censured Williams, and was so inflammatory in denunciation that it excited Lawyer Watt, whose office is on the same floor, and Director Stone was obliged to hold the lawyer outside to keep him from going in aiter Williams. Tt is reported that several of the directors were arwed and were ready at one time to bring their weapons into use. When Thornton’s anger subsided Di- rector Davidson laid before the meeting ART INSTITUTE CHANGES Henceforth the School Will Have Three Regular Models Daily. PHOTOS OF CLASSIC WORKS, A Collection in Which All the Great Masters Are Repre- sented. The Art Institute has shown a progres- sive spirit lately which promises to place it on a par with the better-known organi- zations in the East. Yesterday some im- portant changes were consummated which are decidedly a step in this direction. A meeting was held on Tuesday last at which these changes were discussed. Emile Pissis, the head and front of the advance movement, H. Bush, Mrs, Chit- tenden and Mrs. David Bixler were pres- ent. They did not constitute a quorum, but yesterday the president, Edward Bosqui, was called into consultation over the changes, and as he signified his hearty appreciation, steps are now being taken for carrying them into effect. When the school reopens in August there will be two life classes every day, each having a model. The modeling class under the direction of Douglas Tilden will also have a life model every day. This means that the institute will give con- stant employment to three models. It will be a considerable added expense, as one has been the average hitherto, but it is expected that the benefit to the pupils will more than compensate for the cost. Arthur Mathews and Amedee Joullin will be the two life-class instructors. Each of these instructors will also have a painting class and an antique class. Added facili- ties are also to_be given to students who desire to study pastel and water-color painting. : For the last two months, sixteen boys who are studying in architects’ oflices in town have been in the habit of meeting at the Art Institute on Monday and Friday eveni..gs to study under the direction of Professor Maybec of Berkeley University. 1t is now intended, as far as possible, to make this the nucleus of a school of archi- tecture. The young architects are to be accorded the use of the Art Institute casts and afforded any otner facilities that it is in the power of the association to grant. A number of magnificent photographs have been ordered in Paris for the art As- sociation by one of its members, and the donation is'expected to arrive in the course of the next few days. They are fine carbon photos, averaging 14x18 inches, and in- clude examples of most of the great Euro- pean schools of art. Italy, for instance, will be represented by photographs of masterpieces of Boticelli, Raphael, Michael Angelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Del Sarto, Tintoretto, Paul Veron- ese, Luini, etc. The Dutch school in- cludes photographs after Van Dyke, Rem- brandt, Van der Helst, Maes, Franz Holz, Gerard Dow; the Spauish, Velasquez, Murillo, Ribera; the French artists will be represented by reproductions of works by Clouet, Flandrin, Delacroix, David, Des- champs, etc., and the English by Gains- borough, Turner and Constable. Considembly over 100 beautiful photo- graphs have been ordered altegether. They will be hung in the Hopkins mansion, and it is expected that they will give the stu- | dents, us well as the public generally, an admirable idea of the variors styles of the classic masters. Speaking of the photographs yesterday, Emile Pissis said: “They will have an excellent effect in giving people an idea of the various masterpieces. I hope in time S RSNRSEGS et ACTSRUANI N .ers’ Board of Trade. A PICTURE OF CHARLES I, AFTER VAN DYKE, [From a photograph imported by Vickery.] the resignation of Director I.L. Merrill Williams moved to table the resignation, but his motion did not receive a second. The resignation was then accepted by a vote of four to one, Director Coleman b-ing absent. Then by the same vote W. H. Phelps of the Phelps Manufacturing Company, who was recently drawn on the Grand Jury, was elected to fill the vacancy. It is asserted that Sheehan’s friends have now a majority in the board of directors. To Carry Arms Once a Year. The Austrian Military and Benevolent Asso- ciation at its regular semi-monthy meeting last night formulated a request which will be Presenled to Governor Budd asking the privi- ge of carrying arms once a year. The occa- sion to be selected is the annual picnic. The sociation is for benevolent purposes, the mili- ry organization being a eocial adjunct pos- sessing some old-time firearms which the mem- bers use for drilling ‘gnrponl only, as the cap- tain explained it. If the Governor rejects the request they say they are ready to lay down their arms. ——————— The Survival of the Fittest.

His energy has already proved so infectious that the robability is that the institute will have its library before long. *I want to see the Art Association become a home of art, not only for the Pacific Coast, but for the whole of Western America,” he said. “There is no reason why students should not come from as far away as Chicago. Results already prove that it is one of the best organized schools in America.” AGAINST CONVIOT LABOR. A Complaint Made to the Manufactur- ers’ and Producers’ Association. The California Cotton-mills Company has addressed along complaint to the Man- ufactarers’ and Producers’ Association in which it is stated: We learn from reliable sources that the Board of Btate Prison Directors have under considera- tion the procuringof additional new jute plant for the making of other jute goods than grain bage at San Quentin prison jutemill. We be- lieve that such a v’pm):«umou, if carried out, would be 8 gross violation of the spirit of the act passed by the State Legislature for the erec- tion of those works, and mereover would be a great wrong to independent enterprises now engaged in manufacturing the goods they pro- pose to make with the new plant. The board of directors of the association paid a visit Tuesday evening to the Butch- The latter is heartily in accord with the principles of Lhe asso- ciation, and about two dozen members of the Butchers’ Board of Trade made appli- cation for membership in the Manufactur- ers’ and Producers’ Association. SUING FOR INSURANOE. Mrs. Kate Giblin Wants $45,000 for Her Husband’s Death. Mrs. Kate Giblin has begun suit against the Travelers’ Insurance Company to recover $45,000 life insurance on policies held by her husband, Joseph Giblin. The latter died on October 5, 1892, from the ef- fects of a pistol shot. The relatives de- clared that the shot was accidental, but the insurance men declared that Giblin haa committed suicide, and refused to pay the amount of the policies. As a _compromise Mrs, Giblin accepted the $2800 that her husband had paid on his policies, but now she declares that she was defrauded. e 5 Behrend Joost Protests. A communication from Behrend Joost was filed with the clerk of the Supervisors yester- day, protesting against the resolution of inten- tion to pave, curb and sewer Corbett avenue from Douglass street to Clara avenue. Mr. Joost contends that the street is his private property, over which the board has no juris- iction, and he wants no paving or sewering done on it. et e e e e e NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS.
