They are housed in a kerosene can and ow the mess hour as well as the crew. I'he rabbits are what give the most tronble. They breed and multiply tosuch an extent that summary measures had to be taken in their case. In consequence rabbit pie has been u usual dish on the Maciellan a week for two years past. men are mourning the loss of their pet parrott. The day the ship reached port it disappeared, and what has become of it they would like to know. It was the bird that came aboard when the vessel was off the coast of Brazil and at once made it- some.

In the forecastle the men have stored W v at least twenty models of different s Some of them are of a good size and some are only a foot long. Others iave been built piece by piece in brandy botties and whisky flasks, and form an ad- mirable collection. The crew has also a full band aboard. All or nearly all the instruments were made on the ship and they present a unique appearance. The big'drum was made out of a barrel and j snare drum was purchased in San Fran- cisco. The tambourine and banjo had for a basis the ends of a kerosene can, and the flute w made of a bamboo cane. The cornet is a modern instrument, but every- thing else was made aboard. The melody they produce is reminiscent of the canr bai islands, but it is not inharmonious— when you get used to it. “‘The pigeons never leave us,” said Chief | Officer Sim yesterday. ‘“When we are at | sea_they will make’ long excursions on their own account, but they always return. Sometimes they will stay away for a couple of days, and where they go to no one knows, as on many occasions we have been 5000 miles from land when they started.

Several times they have brought other birds back with them, and I suppose the parrot and the other stranger came back with them.

IT CONTAINED TWENTY CAPS. For Over a Year Past the Woman Claims to Have Been the Victim of Persecution. Out in the Chief of Police’s office in the care of the property clerk is an ordinary stick of kindling wood ten inches long and two inches thick, with a hole running into it lengthwise, wherein rest twenty ex- plosive dynamite caps. Over in a little cottage at 1821 Scott street Mrs. Charles Harris lives in fear and trembhng, expect- ing to be blown to atoms at any moment. Back of the innocent-looking stick and back of Mrs, Harris’ fear, according to her own storr, lies a system of persecution of a most fiendish and inhuman nature that would make the torture of the feudal days seem trivial and incomplete. Mrs. Harris claims that three separate attempts have been made to blow up herself and What Mrs. carris Eelieves to Be a Deadly Bomb. family with dynamite. Each time the caps were secreted in a piece of kindling wood with the evident object of having the explosion brought about by the kitchen fire. On the two former occasions the object of the persecutor would have been success- ful if enough of the dynamite caps had been loaded into the wood. As it was_the stove was wrecked each time and Mrs, Harris terrified out of her senses. This time, however, no homeopathic dose was concocted. The police say that if the present bomb of twenty caps had exploded every building on the block would have been demolished and the fatality would have been equally appalling, The bomb was discovered lying in the front d by Mrs. Harris' ten-year-old child. “The little fellow at once took it to | bis mother, calling her attention to its queer appearance. At one end of the stick was what at first glance looked like a knot. The whole surface of the stick was splattered with dobs of tar. Mrs. Harris took the stick from the boy and, for safe keeping, placed it under her pillow. That was over a week ago. Yes- terday she was able to be about, and then it was that Mrs. Harris began an examina- tion of the object. It did not take her long to discover that the knot in one end was an artificial one. She hastily pried it open and out rolled twenty deadly dy- namite caps. An aperture half an inch in diameter and ubout six inches long had been burned in the stick and the caps vlaced in it, the og;nim: being filled up with a cork. Mrs. Harris states that she did not know what the caps were until she had taken them to a locksmith for identi- fication. “I only have one enemy in San Fran- cisco_who would do such a thing,” said Mrs. Harris in telling her troubles, “‘and I do not know to whom else to attribute this. This enemy who I think placed the bombs in my yard, and who has made my life miserable with warious other kinds of persecution. isa man whom I was once forced to testify ogainst in court. Ever since then he has vowed to get even with me. I have been forced to move once in order to get out of his neighborhood, but he has relentlessly followed me to my pres- ent home. *‘On two different occasions the front of my house and the s{eps have been spat- tered with warm tar. Once the outrage occurred while I was away, and the other time I ran out just in time to see 2 man with a slouch hat drawn down over kis face, carrving a_tar bucket in his hanas, bastily rush off in the dark. He resem- bled my old enemy. but I could not follow him, as my feet mired in the soft tar on the steps. T have at iast placed the mat- ter in the hands of the police.” IN RICEMOND DISTRICT. Stopped Up Fire Plugs Caused the Over- flow of Street Crossings During Tuesday’s Storm. . The heavy rainstorm of Tuesday flooded a large number of street crossings and lots in Richmond district. This was caused by the neglect on the part of the Street Su- perintendent’s office to remove the fire plugs, which would have permitted the escape of the rainwater into the sewer. Graders are now filling the low place near the Richmond School. This spot, which receives the drainage of the hill, on which is one of the large cemeteries, caused the closing of the school a few montbs ago. 2 1 “The question of removing the grave- yards 1s still moving in the minds of the people of Richmond,” said Editor Bond ot the Banner. *The Richmond Distriet Im- rovement Association, or as it shouid be known, the Cemetery Association, profess t0 see jobs in our efforts to rid the City of those graveyards that are menacing the health of the people in that vicinity. “Look at those dilapidated and time- worn tombstones and wooden palings on the line of cars running out from this City! Isnot the spectacle enough to scare investors away? The graveyard peovle attempt to make light of the business standing of the members of the Property- owners” Association who are trying to stop further burials inside the City limits. Here are the names of some of the prin- cipal members: Will H. Crocker, manager of all the Crocker estate; Gustav Sutro, Prentiss Smith, cashier of the California Bank; L. P. Drexler of the California Linen Company; J. L. Jordan, Robert Wilson, 8. M. McCartney and Charles H.

This cemetery combine has for its prime object the lifting up of George R. Fleicher, superintendent of the Odd Fel- lows' Cemetery, for Supervisor. What would Richmond do with a silurian Super- visor that set his face against an improve- ment so vitally affecting the health of the City as the removal of the graveyards from | around the homes of the living?" i i STREETS ARE NOW CLEANER. All of the Sweepers Are to Be Dressed : Alike. | The street cleaning under the new con- | tractor is progressing favorably and to the satisfaction of the Merchants’ Association, which inaugurated the system of sweeping the streets by hand labor. When the con- | tractor took hold of the work there wasa | lot of dirt to be removed that had been left by the Street Superintendent’s men. The downtown district, north of Market | street and east of Powell, is now in good order, and the next move will be to organ- | ize the force and clean up south of Market | street. The merchants believe that by the | middle of the month the City will be as | clean as it was when they gave up the work several months ago. | The new contractor has taken back the | force of werkmen who were employed by | the Merchants’ Association, {rom the | foreman down to the humblest sweeper. This stows that the street cleaning is out of politics. In a short time the entire | force will be uniformed in brown caps, | overalls and jumpers. — BUSINESS BLOCK SOLD, i | The Board of Trade Building| Accepted at a Handsome | Figure. Little Remains but to Sign the Deed | and a Check for Over Half a Million. It was stated yesterday by a prominent | real estate man on Montgomery street that | the Board of Trade building and land upon which it stands, at the junction of Market | and Pine streets, had been seld at a very handsome tigure. The price said to have been paid was something between $500,000 and $600,000. The property belonged to the estate of William R. S8herwood, of which his widow | is the executrix. Tt includesnearly all the | triangular block bounded by Pine, Market | and Front streets, and actually has a front- | age on each of those streets. | Beginning at the junction of Pine and Market streets it extends along the latter thoroughfare 179 feet, and 226 feet on | Pine. From its southwesterly corner it runs back 67 feet 6 inches from Market street and then continues inan irregular | line in a westerly direction to Front street, thus formins an L, which gives a line of 50 feet on Front street. It therefore has the whole frontage of the block on Pine street. With tiie exception of an irregular- shaped lot at the corner of Front and Market streets, owned by Alexander Boyd, the block was owned by William R. Sher- wood. The buildings are well known to San Franciscans from the symmetrical five- story ornamental office structure at the gore, familiarly known as the Board of | Trade building to the substantial busi- ness houses on the side street. It was understood that the property was bought by the Luning estate. It was for sale for a long time and had been exam- ined by different capitalists. The greatest secrecy was observed re- garding the transaction, those interested immediately going so far even as to say they knew nothing about it. And yet there remained no room for doubt as to the certainty of the transfer, since it was announced by a man in a position to know positively everything connected with the sale. The secrecy was undoubtedly for business reasons, as has usually been the case in such transactions, until the last hour, when the deeds are sizned. That the sale was not legally made by the sien- ing of deeds may account for the air of mystery surrounding the transaction. Arthur W. Moore, the real estate agent, said to be interested, declared he knew nothing about the matter further than that the property had been in the market for sale. WHITE IN COURT. Change of Venue Is Asked in the Fair- banks and Costigan Mort- gage Cases. Messrs. Dunn and McPike will appear before the Superior Court of Mendocino County, at Ukiah, next fuesday and ask that a change of venue be granted in the cases of H. T. Fairbanks and J. M. Costi- gan against ‘“Cartie King” White of Round Valley to foreclose their respective mortgages. The Fairbanks mortgage amounts .to $6000 and that of Costigan to $2500. The motion is brought on the part of ‘Willson T. Smith, the receiver in the case of George E. White against Frank E. White. Frankie T. White first instituted suit for maintenance in 1884, but had it subse- uently dismissed when White filed suit or divorce. Then it was she interposed her cross-complaint, which led to the divorce and $100,000 alimony being granted 10 her in this City. s In the motion for change of venue it is asserted that Judge McGarvey of the Men- docino Superior Court is disqualified, and also that witnesses would be greatly con- venienced by having the case brought to this City. \ The S¥m Insurance Company in the fore- closure of its mortgage of $70,000 does not like the outlook of affairs legal. Its ad- visers do not think a fair deal is to be had and they ask for concessions that Mrs. White is not prepared to grant. So say Mrs. White's attorneys. % The Sun Insurance Company’s repre- sentatives assert that Mrs. White has secured the aid and active assistance of the newspapers, and they would also like a change of courts. In Honor of Professor Rosewald. The death of Professor J. A.Rosewald has brought great sorrow to the faculty and stu- dents of Mills College. He was a popular man and a successful instructor. His departments embraced violin, harmony and theory of mu- sic and the choral class.

Ata meeting of the faculty of Mills College resolutions of respect and condo- lence were adopted. IDWEEK THEATER HOTES Old Friends Continue to Welcome Back Emilie Mel- ville, The Bostonians Are Giving Their Farewell Perform- ances. The frothy fun of ‘A Contented Woman” is a cheerful form of entertainment that the Baldwin audiences are not taking un- kindly to. Mrs. Hoyt’s acting in the title role has a delicacy and grace that at once commend it. The support afforded her is satisfactory and the introduced songs are on the whole well rendered. Next week De Wolf Hopper and his comic opera company come to the Bald- win. Theiropening production will be the operatic burletta *“Wang.” *‘Madame Favart” is drawing large audi- The public seems anxious to renew its friendship with its old favorite, Emilie Melville. Ferris | Hartman also comes in for his share of vopular favor. All the roles in the pretty comic opera are well filled and the per- formance goes with plenty of spirit. “The Diamond - Breakers,” which is drawing large audiences to the Grand, is a Crama of plots and counter-plots, having for their aim the robbing of a young girl of her property. The diamond-breaker is a machine for crushing coal in a mine, and it is scen in full operation. Another re- alistic piece of stagine is the lunatic asy- lum, where Miss Hall, as- the heroine, is incarcerated and fastened to an instrument of torture. At one time all the patients are let loose in the yard, and to see each one following the pcculiar bent of his or her hallucination caused so much amuse- ment that it received several curtain-calls. “Prince Ananias’ received its last pro- duction during the present visit of the Bostonians at the Columbia Theater last nfght. The pretty, tuneful work was ex- cellently rendered as usual. The demands for encores were numerous. The Haverly Minstrels open their en- gagement at the Columbia next Sunday afternoon. “The Crushed Tragedian” isone of the best performances that has been produced at Grover's Alcazar. In the title role Leonard Grover Jr. does more artistic work than he has yet achieved, and Leon- ard Grover Br. adds considerably to the strength of the cast. This week’s new performers at the Orpheum are adding to the attractiveness of the bill by introducing some novel features. The Lenten Brothers are hu- morous grotesque acrobats, and the Orion Trio, who are engaged especially for one week, are doing some laughable work in their little act, ““A Hot Chase.” The brief engagement of ‘‘Charley’s Aunt” at the California Theater is draw- ing to a close. On Monday the amusing work will be succeeded by Dazey’s new melodrama, “The War oi Wealth.™ —————— The bite of the mosquito has recently been shown to be extremely poisonous.
