Only One Train Will Run to San Jose Hereafter. The nightly theater trains on the coast division railway between San Jose and Third and Townsend streets will be abolished at the end of this month. At the beginning of the summer season the Soutbern Pacific Company introduced these trains in the nature of an experi- ment for the accommodation of people living in San Mateo County and in and around San Jose. Results, however, have not given satis- faction to the compa rom a financial point of view and Friday instructions were issued by the general passenger agent to withdraw the theater trains on Novem- be ter that date only one train a week— every Saturday night—will run from and to the Santa Clara Valley through San Mateo to accommodate theater-goers from the country ONE MORE Death UNFORTUNATE. Ends the Sufferings Mollie Coe. Mollie Coe, the daughter of a wealthy lumberman of Hood River, Or., died at the Receiving Hospital shortly aiter 6 o’clock last evening and her body was taken to the undertaking establishment of Carew & English. Everything possible was done to save her life, but the fever from which she was suffering proved too much for her en- feebled condition. The hospital authori- ties received another dispatch from her father yesterday afternoon to spare no ex- pense to save her life. Her mother will arrive from Oregon this morning, and it will be a sad blow to her to find that her daughter is dead. The girl baby is in the Mount St. Joseph of DMiss Orphan A m and will probably be claimed by its grandmother. — e e————— Married in Court. . F. B. Keene, an old man, appeared before Judge Low yesterday to answer the charge of betraying Charlotte Johnston, 1443 Harrison t, under the promise of marriage. He agreed to marry her and the Ceremony was per- tormed by Justice Cook. Judge Low thereupon dismissed the charge against him. Judge Campbell had a similar case.

DANCES AND SINGS IN “TRILBY” | THE TALENTED San FRANCISCO GIRL TELLS oF HER PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES. | ‘‘So this is the last day,"” said a friend to Miss Ruth White, the San Francisco girl | who sings “Ben Bolt”’ in the *“Trilby’’ com- | pany. He was referring to the engage- | ment of the company in this City. Miss | White smiled and answered quickly: 1 ‘‘No, it's not the last day. It's the day | before to-morrow. “You see,”” continued Miss White, “I | really begin when we open at Oakland.

The lecturer then traced the bringing of pictures from Ku- rope by the rich only for gratification of pride, and to be exhibited possibly in charity’s name. Only Hill and then Keith, of the local artists, were sought after, and they had been placed on pedestals in hero- worship style. “The public, however, is beginning to understand,” he said, in conclusion, and the sarcasm was not lost on the audience, ““that a hand-painted picture is as good as VETERANS' SONS DINE. A Banquet in Commemoration of the Surrender of the British Army. The Sons of the American Revolution | participated in a banquet at the California Hotel last evening in commemoration of the one hundred and fourteenth anniver- sary of the surrender of the British army, under Earl Cornwallis, October 19, 1781, at Yorktown, to Generals Washingron and De Rochambeau. The following toasts were responded to: “Origin_and Early History of the California Society, Sons of the American Revolution,” Sidney K. Smith; “The 19th of October,” C. B. King; “The French in the Revolution,” C. L P. Marrais; “The Continental Congress and the Congress of 96,” R. L. Gray:&“New Eng- land Minute Men,” W. E.

WALTER O LOCAL AT, THE BOHEMIAN CLUB AND ART ASSOCIATION SEVERELY CRITICIZED. HERO-WORSHIP oF CERTAIN LocaL ARTISTS ALSO SEVERELY RE- FERRED To. Solly Walter, the newspaper artist and critic, delivered a lecture on “Local Art” | at the Mechanics’ [nstitute last night. The audience was composed mainly of art devotees and those interested in the higher branches of culture. Mr. Walter proved himself to be an entertaining talker. His subject was “Art in General.” The lec- turer, among other things, said: I think we ail know well enough what local art is. Success in this line is based on the education of the public, and the better the education of the public the greater the success of the artist, San Franciscois & kind of out- ost of civilized art. We are without hered- tary education—a new town with a new art, and, therefore, we have to treat it tenderly and’leniently. The art of this City has been brought to it _from the outside by people who | thought themselves superior to anything local, their natural egotism causing them to assume arole of superiority. Art in America is appreciated by the masses through the medium of advertising. These advertisements, born of natural business shrewdness, have become a feature in art, while newspaper art in America is_ without an equal in the world. Newspapers, dodgers and posters have naturally become the educators of the masses. Mr. Walter then paid his respects to the Bohemian Cluband Art Association, say- ing that they stood out as the founders of art in this City. He said that the Art As- Miss Lillian O’Connell; “The Press,” E. Burke Holidey; *“The American Soldier,” General S. W.

Colonel A. B FReENCH EXPERTS CERTIFY THAT THERE Is No DoUBT OF Its GENUINENESS. A throne that originally belonged to Napoleon ITI, one of seven ownedgby that potentate, is in this country. This in- formation is given on the authority cf the New York Herald, with the further news that it was brought to America by M. H. de Young, proprietor of the S8an Francisco Napoleon Sat in This Chair. Chronicle. Itisdestined to fill a place in the park museum, and was acquired by Mr. de Young whiie on his recent trip through Europe. It is stated that this is the self-same throne which graced the Chateau de Saint Cloud. During the excitement of the war the chair was hidden by a patriotic French- man, who stored it away in a cellar, where it remained, forgotten, until after his death. It was later sold to a dealer in antiguities. A description of the throne is as follows: It stands about three and a half feet high, the framework being of carved oak, with heav; gilding, after the fashion of the day. The bacl shows n circular wreath of oak leaves in the wood, being about two feet in diameter. The center is upholstered in rich crimson velvet, handsomely embroidered with heavy gol thread, witha big N i - bty S & big N standing out in promi. The seat is of the same crimson velvet, with £old thread embroidery, and on each side, on top of the arm posts, is a_heavy globe of satin wood, on which probably Napoleon often resied his hands while listening to the artful flattery of his courtiers. On the wood of the seat, at the back of the chair, is_engraved the name of the maker, which is taken as a strong Proof of the chair’s'genuineness. Mr. de Young was careful to bave ex- perts pass upon the genuineness oi the curio before finally purchasing it for the Park Museum. ————— PRATT’S ABOLITION O11, the people’s remedy, cures rheumatism, neuralgia, lame back and all lameness, aches and pains. [ REJOICIG IN THE JUNTA, THE OPPONENTS OF BUCKLEY IN- DULGE IN THE JOYS OF VICTORY. MAKING SPORT OF THE LAMBS. MorTo FOR BUCKLEY'S CLUB: “WiHO EnTERs HERE LEAVES HoPE BEHIND.” In the minds of the Junta Chris Buckley is dead. So sure are these Junta men of his final and complete political defeat that at a meeting held in the Flood building Friday evening they made provision for the selection of a large number of his po- litical opponents whose duty it will be to see that the screws in his political coffin are turned to the last thread and firmly set. While they felt sure he was dead, yet they resolved themselves into a committee of the whole, with the self-imposed duty of carefully watching his corpse, lest by some mystic and occult ruse his spirit should seek reincarnation. As a precau- tionary measure they took the newly ac- quired “machine,” and after annointing its many rusty points and bearings with the oil of flattery and seli-commendation, they carefully piaced it in charge of a heavy and trusted body of guardsmen, who were instructed to watch over it, night and day, and stand ever ready to produce it at “the call of the chair,” It is understood that Colonel W. P. Sul- livan, who in this case is the “chair,” will not call the Junta tocether fora month vet, unless something resembling Buck’s hand, holding a *‘royal flush,” should ap- pear to mar the serenity of the Junta's sky. In the meantime the command has been issued that the mighty men of the Junta shall assail the enemy’s works whereso- ever they may be found. Daggett, with his minions, Welburn and his host of follow- ers, McNab and all those that are with him, Lanigan and all bis fiery followers, Braunhbardt and his men who watch ships that pass in the night—these and all those who may be persuaded t0 join them are to go forth™ in the several Assembly districts of the City and run the machine. Thus, it is expected that the enemy, vhich now opposes the powerful Junta, 1 come to naught. Even now great re- joicing is heard in the camp of the Junta, loud shoutings of jo{ and much tossing of hats, for it has just been announced that a mighty addition has been made to the ranks. A factor of the Democracy, even Jonhn H. Wise, has noted the indications of the political barometer and come into the house of the Junta, lest he get wet. He is being greeted with many smiles. At a season of rejoicing held by the Junta yesterday much sport was had at the expense of their opponents. 1t was related that at the Buckley meet- ing,held in the basement of Metropolitan Temple Thursday evening, kindergar- ten methods were used to swell the numbers at the rolicall of the lambs. Here | is a specimen_of the rollcall, as alleged: “Gavin McNab!” called the secretary. “Here!” answered the “‘Banjo-eyed Kid.” “Mayor Pond!”’ : ‘iII?rc!” was heard the voice of “Chicken | Bill.’ { “James Denman !"’ “‘Here!” “Fat Jack’’ Kiley replied. “I hear that ‘Feet’ Maloney feels that he | should have a new name,” said a leader of | Tines to Hanford, Lemoore andgvisalia, pass through the property. The property is all iencezf and cmgs—iencea with about thirty miles of fencing, with a perpetual water right and eighty cubic feet of water a second passin, through the place. It has about forty miles of branch ditches now constructed. ‘here are now about 1200 acres in alialfa, and the acreage will be increased from time to time as occasion warrants. It is now capable of feeding about 2000 head of cattle and can be largely increased. There is about to be established on this place one of the largest and best equipped creameries ever erected on this coast. JERRY DRISCOLL RETURNS. Out of Politics and Will Only Help Buckley a Little. Jerry Driscoll has returned from Chicago and it is supposed that he will take his old place on the Buckley forces with the rank of a lientenant. He is too modest, though, to admit nnythini except that he is at home again, and he says little about his intentions in the line of reorganization or reform. “I am not going into politics any more,” he said last night, “but I will just heip the old man out a little.” MRS, MAUD BOOTH'S TALK THE SALVATION ARMY FILLS METROPOLITAN TEMPLE TO THE DOORS. THE New WomaNn anND HER SPHERE OF WORK AND Usk- FULNESS DEFINED. Metropolitan Temple was crowded to the doors last night by the Salvation Army and its friends, the occasion being an address by Mrs. Maud B. Booth, sup- ported by Staff Captain Edith Marshall of New York. The hall was profusely decorated for the occasion with red bunting and a generous display of American flags, while it was rendered fairly lurid with the red jackets of the male soldiers and the red ribbons which decorated the poke bonnets of the women warriors. Mrs. Booth was introduced after several songs had been sung, and she at once launched into her subject, which might be termed *The New Woman.” In treating thesubject of the Salvation Army work she followed ciosely the line of woman’s work in what she termed God’s great commission to woman, to go forth and do her part_in saving the fallen of the world. She sa “That the world is in need of woman’s work, to raise the fallen, to bring joy to sorrowing hearts, to help the weary and comfort the distressed, and to bring the wandering soul into the sunhght of God’s love and saving truth, is this not answer enough to every honest heart as to why woman should take up this work? “The new woman is the true woman, with her heart aflame with God’s love for the human race. The new woman is God’s woman, sincere, honest, active and effi- cient in doing his will, asking not if man shall approve of her work, but rather say- ing, ‘Here, Lord, am I, send me.’ The woman warrior in the cause of Christ is the new woman, and we know she is right because of the way God is blessing her work all over the world to-day as she marches on under the banner of Jesus, fighting evil wherever it is to be found. “Woman’s work in any and all positions is a work of love. Where, may I ask, may she work more appropriately than in the cause of him who died that we might live? Who gave his only begotten Son that | whosoever believeth on him shall not die, but shall have everlasting life. ““Who asks the question as to the pro- MRS. BALLINGTON BOOT: H AND HER CHILDREN. tue Junta, “because he has had a buggy recently in which to travel about over the City to ‘round up’ the lambs.” “And I understand,” said another, ‘““that Geockin furnishes the horse and buggy on the strength of a promise from Buckley that he will again receive a nomination for Supervisor.”” “The charge for that buggy will be added to Geockin’s ‘political experience account,’ T'll warrant,” said another. “I hear Buckley wants to change the name of the Occidental Club to that of the ‘Business Men’s Club,’ ” said Lanigan. “He thinks it would give his followers more prestige.”’ “Truth isa powerful factor in politics, and I would suggest,” chimed in Braun- hardt, “that he call it the ‘Has Beens.’ " “Jim Fiynn would make a fitting presi- dent for his club,” said one of the mem- bers of the Junta, “if he should call it the ‘Political Accident Club,’’” at which sally there was much merriment. “How would the ‘Ancient Order of Sore- heads’ do?”’ sugegested Max Popper, at which there was a chorus of approval. “Now that Buckley has lost all hopes of regaining political power he might, as a reward to his followers, give each of them a letter of recommendation to Commis- sioner Fitzgerald of the State Labor Bu- reau,” suggested a member of the party. On hearing this timely jest the faithtul followers of the leaders of the Junta fairly howled with delight. ; “‘Over the entrance to_his club Buckley should inscribe, in flaming letters, ‘Who enters here ieaves hope behind,’”” sad another. ) In the meantime Buckley goesrightahead with his usual work of saying nothing and sawing wood. His opponents are more worried than they are willing to ac- knowledge. It is the old story of whistlin when going through the graveyard. Buckley’s adherents declare “that the strengti of the Blind Boss is being aug- mented every day, and that the forces of the Junta are becoming gradually dis- organized by internecine wrangles over the distribution of phantom municipal ositions that they faintly hope they may Ee able to secure for their followers'in the dim by and by. An Immense Dairy. David Bush of the firm of O'Farrell & Co. has just closed an important transaction that will mark & new era in the prosperity of Tulare County, and an incentive for other portions of the San Joaquin Velley to go and do likewise. Dr. €. F, Buckley is the owner of about 6000 acres of land adjoining the town limits of Goshen, Tulare County. The Southern Pacific priety of woman entering upon the life of a warrior in the Salvation Army ? *In most cases it is the woman who nds much of her time in the frivolities of the day. She dances, entertains after the manner of her class, and spends her time, strength and money in many ways which are mnot calculated to ele- vate the human race; and she, I fear, would scorn to do the work of aiding the poor and sick, the wretched, the drunken and the lost, which is the work of the Salvation Army woman. Of all such may we not ask: ‘Is the work of saving a lost soul not the highest and best and noblest work to which any human life may be devoted?” This is God’s work and can we be more honored than in becomin, humble instruments in the hands of Gog to do his work? ‘‘I believe that a Salvation Army woman can become a better wife, mother or sister, in dui‘lflg the work given her to do, than she could possibly become should she shun this du(K. *‘The heart grows with its work. Itex- pands, is strengthened and intensified by the experiences of this work. The hospi- tai, the jail, the slums, all appeal most touchingly to the better elements of woman’s nature and render her more com- petent for the Master’s work.”" At the conclusion of Mrs. Booth’s ad- dress Edith Marshall, National secretary of the Auxiliary League, took the plai- form and in a very few minutes thirty- three members, at $5 a piece, had joined the Auxiliary League of San Francisco. Mrs. Booth will speak in Dr. Hemphill’s church at 10:30 o’clock this morning, and at Dr. Brown’s church at 7:30 o’clock this evening. ———————— Notable Removal.

AN INTERESTED CROWD OF MILK- MEN ASSEMBLED IN THE CoOURTS. Milk Inspector James P. Dockery is pur- suine his researches into the quality of the milk supply of this City. At an early hour yesterday morning he went down the San Bruno road and over- hauled nine wagons belonging to differeng dairies. The majority held cans of milk up to standard. Not so with that con- tained in the wagon of J. Christian. His milk was watered and adulterated to a great extent, and curiously enough, the first can opened by Mr. Dockery contained piain water. Christian will be dealt with in due course. Near the San Bruno road is a marsh into which filth of all kinds is dumped from Butchertown, the chemical works and the tanneries. Mr. Dockery reports that cows are in these marshes up to their necks. Following are the names of three parties who own the cows: Rossi, Wright and Gianiri. ‘Warrants were sworn out yesterday for: M. Fruger, Frank Marty, J. Roberts and Superyisor J. King, the last keeping the International Hotel. The hotel steward was asked whether the cream was ex- tracted, or whether the milk was other- wise treated. The reply was ‘“No,"” but on exam ination it wasfound to be badly adul- terated. Inspector Dockery intends to prosecute his labors until the quality of the milk sup- ply is improved. He takes with him on his rounds a Babcock tester and apparatus for indicating whether the butter fat has been extracted from the milk, which saves a great deal of time. There wasan interested gathering of m ilk- men in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday morning. Twelve of them had been ar- rested on complaint of Milk Inspector | Dockery for offering for sale watered and adulteratea milk, and their cases were called in court. . The inspector was also present, and watched developments with the keenest nterest. Seven of them pleaded guilty, and the Judge will sentence them to- morrow. Their names are Henry Soss, C C, Tepper, Frank Sembertrank, Henry Adolph, Jo- seph Kennell, Peter Menjan and Pascale Belon. The following pleaded not guilty and de- manded a jury: L. J. Ewell, J. New- meyer, George Schumph. Two, Adolph Manthe and E. F. Grabo, pleaded not guilty, but waived a jury. All these cases were continued till Wednesday next. The inspector swore out additional war- rants yesterday in Judge Joachimsen's court for thearrest of Frank Marty of the Mount Howell dairy, M. Turger of the Cloverdale dairy, and J. Roberts. In Judge Low’s court he swore out a warrant for the arrest of Supervisor Joseph King for “offerng and having unwholesome, adulterated and watered milk for sale.” An Infatuated Suitor. August Pou, teacher of languages, appeared for sentence before Judge Conlan yesterday. He was convicted ot disturbing the peace by persistently annoying M Cspinosa, 2326 Clay street, by his attentions. Pou admitted hat he was infatuated with the lady, but of- fered to give a bond to keep the ce toward her in future. The Judge gave him & severe lecture for his offensive conduct and sentenced him to pay a fine of $100 or be imprisoned for ninety days. SCHEEL'S ADIEU. The Popular Conductor Gives a Suc~ cessful Farewell Concert in the Mechanics’ Pavilion. One of the largest andiences that Fritz Scheel has ever drawn together met in the Mechanics’ Pavilion last night to hear his farewell concert. All parts of the large auditorium contained interested listeners —indeed there was scarcely a vacant seat in the whole building, except during the interval, when promenading tempted many people to take a tour of the hall. It is as the conductor of an orchestra that Fritz Scheel is known in San Fran- cisco. Asa bandmaster he never created any particular furor. During the run of the Vienna Prater the first part of the pro- gramme used to consist of orchestral music and the second of band music, and Scheel’s conducting of the Park band is very famil- iar, but it has never added very greatly to his popularity. Last night the size of the building make strings almost out of the question. Scheel conducted a large band of brass and reeds, and on the whole he did it very well. The first part of the programme consisted en- tirely of Wagner, “Tannhauser’ predomi- nating. The Wagner programme began with the overture to *‘Tannhauser’” and concluded with a grand fantasie on the same opera. There were also the “Tristan and Is Liebestadt” and an excerpt from ,"" as well as “Eine Biblische Scene. Wagner excerpts were s The listened to with respect by every one, and with great pleasure and interest by a select ew. This was evident from the attitude of the andience, for there was none of the frantic applause that used to mark the Wagner nights, when Scheel first intro- duced them with his Prater orchestra. The second part of the programme con- sisted of popular music, which the band layed crisply and with spirit. Rossini, Mascagni, De Koven and Johann Strauss were represented by some of their most familiar selections and encores were most enthusiastically demanded to which Scheel was gracious in responding. The final number was_a “Farewell” march of his own composition. e Musicale at the Occidental. Signor and Mrs. Cipalloni, Mrs. Susan Sroufe Loosley and Dr. Gregory Flesher have con- sented to assist at the musicale for the benefit of the San Francisco Training School for Nurses, which will be given in the Occidental parlors Tuesday evening.

Newman, husband of one of the nieces of the late Wil- liam Walkerley, asking thata receiver be ap- pointed to take charge of the estate of the de- ceased, was n the United States Cireuit Court yesterday by H.C. Firebaugh, attorriey for the executors of the estate. The answer avers that Newman has no right to interfere at this juncture, inasmuch as he accepted the jurisdiction of the Superior Court at the time the case was on trial before that tribunal. - e e Harry Huff Dismissed.
