They will be selected from the long list of applicants and after passing the physiciau’s examination their names will be made public. It will probably take two or nree weeks before all the appoint- ments are made. Captain Gillin will probably have Lieu- tenant Burke with him. The new dis- trict, according to Chief Crowley, will take in from Fifteenth street to Market and Waller streets, and will include all tern- tory south to Ocean View, where there is now a branch station. This takes in the new racetrack. Captain Gillin will have his headquarters at the station at Seven- teenth and Howard streets. He will have five patrol sergeants, who will be ap- pointed by Chiet Crowley in a few days. Captain Gillin was born in 1852, was ap- pointed 1o the force on December 17,1879, and made sergeant on October 1. 1889. For some months he has been in charge of the second division of Company A. Lieutenant Birdsall was born in 1844, appointed to the force on April 25, 1878, and made sergeant on October 1, 1880. Lieutenant Bennett was born in 1349, appointed on the force on August 17, 1878, and made sergeant April 14, 1890. Lien- tenant Burke was born in 1852, appointed on the force September 25, 1878, and made ser- geant September 20, 1890.

They have both done splendid work in that particular line and their pro- motion is richly deserved. WHITE OUT OF JAIL. The King of Round Valley and His Nephew Released by Order of the Court. Geurgg E. White, the Round Valley cattle-king, and his nephew, John S. _Rohrbough, who were ordered imprisoned in the County Jail five days for contempt of court, were released last evening on the order of Judge Hebbard of the Superior Cf)urt. Ashe had only been imprisoned since Sunday, this was considered a strained construction of ‘“five days’" in- carceration. Concerning their release, Judge Heb- };z:rd, who committed them, said last even- g: When Sheriff Johnson brought White and Rohrbough to this City last Sazgrdny evening, he took them to the City Prison, but the oficer in charge of that prison would not receive them; so_ the Sheriff took his prisoners to a hotel, and the term of imprisonment for five days which should have begun on Saturday did ot beein until Sunday. To-day Sheriff Whelan came to me and asked at what time the term of imprisonment should end.

ST DOCTORS RECOMMEND IT. All Go to Show the Wonderful Recuper- ative Power of This Most Justly Cele- brated Medicine, *‘Cupidene.’” It is known throughout the medical profes- sion that, as a rule, medical men are like “fishermen’s wives,” they fall out *scientifi- cally.” They will get angry at each other and cut up one another in a mostscientific manner. | Itis known to the entire medical fraternity that the physiclan who indorsed the use of qui- nine for ai'aying fevers was deemed “a mad- man.” Paris would not speak to members of this phy- sician’s family, who claimed that quinine was the best thing for the allaying of fevers. In | 1830 France was at war, and her best sons were dying in the hospitals at Algiers at the | rate of 5000 per month, for the reason that | the surgeons who treated these persons, suffer- ing from the fever which they contracted in Algiers, “bled them.” Incisions were made in the body and the patient was bled until he was white. These fever-stricken people were at last treated by the other pnysicians, who, in- stead of bleeding them, geve them quinine, and the result was that instead of 5000 dying in Algiers out of the same number of people in | the hospitals only one in & hundred died. By 1860 the world began to use quinine, and now, no matter who the individual may be, whether botanist, homeopatbist, allopathist or electri- cian, each and every one in the different lines of school must use quinine, and the blood- suckers are out. In nlmost every instance where something new has been discovered by a leading physi- | cian it takes a long time to get the others to believe it, and some of the leading physicians of the world are now indorsing the celebrated medicine, ('uridene. Dr. George Jerome Lathrop, one of the fore- most physicians of Los Angeles, writes !erself: “From & careful analysis made of the ingredi- ents which go to make up your wonderful remedy, Cupidene, and from the constant use of this remedy in my private practice, I have no hesitation in saying it is the most remark- able remedy I know for the cure of nervous ex- haustion, prostatis and those peculiarly deli- cate forms of diseases that usuelly baffle the skill of the best physicians. Time and time again I have gone into my laboratory disgusted with the remedies I have prepared for my pa. tients; night after might have I searched through the medical stores for the remedy that \vouldgdo the work which Cupidene is now do- ing, and it is with pleasure that I indorse the remedy, Cupidene, for all nervous troubles.” $1 per bottle, 6 for For sale at Brooks' Pharmacy, 119 Powell street. * — NORTH BEACH SCANDAL.

He painted for the Bohemian Club the famous cartoon representing the reception of the Egpytian Princess (the Jerry Lynch mummy) that found Moses l in the bulrushes. Yesterday Secretary Martin of the San | | Francisco Art Association received letters | and documents setting ferth that the Mu- | nicipal Council of Philadelphia had appro- | priated $5000 to be expended as premiums | for the best designs for decorating one of the rooms of the new City Hall at that place. The competition is open to Amer- ican artists without distinction as to age or sex, and it is highly probable that San Francisco artists will be represented in the competition. For the best design $3000 is offered, for the second best $1000, and for | third $750. This offer is not for the execu- tilon of the work, but for the design sim- nly. 'he design will comprise a complete plan of. decoration for the entire room, with the color scheme of the architecture. The panels in the north and south walls are to be decorated with two or more mural paintings on canvas, and to be fixed | to the walls after the completion of the paintings in an approved manner. The paintings will consist of tigure-com- | positions of an allegorical or historical character, or both. The propriety of a historical subject connected with ‘the his- tory of Philadelphia is suggested. _Becretary Martin declares that San Fran- cisco and the State- of California should follow the examnole of Philadelphia and do something] by public appropriation to dec- orate public buildings here. Should the Board of Supervisors offer a premium for the best designs for decorating one of the main rooms of the new City Hall, artists would be encouraged to do work of the highest character. The example recently given by James D. Phelan, in offering a liberal sum for_a fountain design, should be emulated. In the judgment of Mr. Martin it is important that the State and City should do something to recognize art by inviting the best decorative designs that our artists can produce. New York, Boston, Chicago, Pittsburg, Baltimore, Cleveland, Cincinnatiand other leading cities have done what Philadelphia is doing. In this respect San Francisco is not keeping up with the procession, and a ublic sentiment in favor o fdecorating m)"iand State buildings should be awak- ened. % Members of the San Francisco Art As- sociation should bear in mind that forty paitings or sketches, contributed by the artists, will be distributed by the drawing of members at the close of the present ex- hibition. Under the rule every member is_entitled to one chance, buta member failing to register as an attendant of the exhibition will not be entitled to a num- ber. There are some beautiful pictures in the cellection to be given away. Keith has one which is easily worth $100. The Murillos, belonging to C. P. Hun- tington, are greatly admired by visitors. When the association offered to insure the pictures Mr. Huntington said if an in- surance of $20,000 was placed on each pictare that sum would not come any way near the value. If the insurance was large enough to cover the cost of the paintirgs the association would get no profit from the exhibition; hence he would advise against insurance, and accept for himself the risk of losing the things.

Dastardly Attempt to Squelch Out the Harmony Choral Union at the Pavilion. Musical circles in this City are still puzzling over a strange incident which happenca during the recent festival for | the Children’s Hospital. It was nothing less than the sudden and mysterious dis- appearance of part of the music needed for ‘Wednesday’s performance, its retention during a whole afternoon, to the despair of the singers, who could not duplicate their copies, and the sudden and secret re- | turn of the music when Robert Lloyd de- clared that neither king nor kaiser couid | prevent him from announcing from the platform that the scores had been willfully and maliciously stolen. At first it was believed that the mystery surrounding the disappearance and re- turn of the music would soon be cleared up, and that the culprit, if culprit there was, would soon be held up to public scorn and contumely. Buta week has gone by, the most diligent inquiryhas failed to throw any light on the subject. and the belief 1s beginning to gain ground that either a passing Mahatma whisked the music off to Thibet for a few hours’ uninterrupted study of its beauties, or else that there | were several conspiratorsin the plot and | that they hired at least one skilied bur- | gler to assist them. | The story which the eyewitnesses tell is | as follows: On Tuesday the Harmony | Choral Union was called for a rehearsai | with orchestra of *“Now Tramp O’er Moss and Fell.”” Shortly before the neighboring | calliopes and bells announced the hour of ; noon, Conductor Hirschback entered the | Pavilion, bearing the orchestral and vocal | scores of the glee, which he deposited on a table near the condactor’s stand. Care- | fully selecting ‘*“T'he Sailor’s Grave,”’ Robert Lloyd’s solo for that evening, from amang the pile, he put the vocal scorein | his pocket, as he wished to make a few al- terations. It is quite impossible that Mr. Hirsch- back, in one of tlose fits of mental abstrac- tion to which all great men are subject, could have put the whole File of music | into his pocket, for the simple reason that | he had not a pocket large enongh to hold | it. He simply pocketed “The Sailor’s Grave” and went home to lunch with a clear conscience. Just as the clocks were striking the hour of noon Robert Lloyd, the conductor of the Harmony Choral Union, arrived on the | scene and found about forty of his singers | waiting to rehearse ‘‘Now Tramp.” He went to the table to distribute the music; Fthe table was there, but the glees, alas! where were they? No one had been seen to approach the table, but the music had | gone, vanished into_thin airand left not | one copy behind. Robert Lloyd called the boy in charge. He knew nothing, Mrs. | Hunt knew nothing, the singers, who had, some of them, been present half an hour, knew nothing. All the witnesses could testify to was that whereas the music had been there, now it was gone. For two hours they waited and hunted and conjectured, for the singers knew that fresh copies of “Now Tramp’’ couid not be procured and that the loss of their music meant the extinction of themselves, as far | as the festival was concerned. At 2 o’clock Robert Lloyd arose in his wrath and an- nounced that *“Now Tramp” should not be | stamped out of Wednesday’s programme. “It shall stay there,” he said, ‘-and when that number comes aronnd I will take the latform and announce that our music :as been stolen out of spite. I may say now there is not any man big enough to keep me from making that announcement. No! nor any two men.” There was a dark insinuation about the way in which the conductor shouted ** L may say more,” that he has declared since was a bluff. Some of the singers declare now that a man, standing near Lloyd, was observed tc zasp and turn pale at the an- nouncement as if he believed the sugges- tion that Lloyd would a tale unfold if he | chose. For obvious reasons this man’s name is withheld, as he may have been absolutely unconnected with the disap- pearance of the music. As nothing was to be gained by waiting, the singers dispersed, and now comes the strangest part of the story. At 6 o’clock that evening, the music was discovered on the table where it had been originally placea. Not a singie copy was missing, and there were no signs of violence on any of the sccres. How it got there, no one connected with the Pavilion could tell; the music had simply reappeared as mys- teriously as it had disappeared. ‘When questioned on the subject yester- day, Mrs. Hunt, the energetic business manager of the festival, stated that she was quite at a loss to give any explanation. “The music was lost, and then it came back, no one knows ftom where.” “It is no use talking about the thing,” said Robert Lloyd. “If I knew who had walked off with our scores, I would de- nounce him fast enoungh, but you see I have no proof. ‘“Have you any suspicions?’’ was asked. “Not to amount to anything,” was the answer. ‘A man never knows who all his enemies are, though I could name several of mine. It:wasa cowardly sortof a thin, totry tokill our glee out of spite, but have no_doubt _that was the motive. As for suspicions, I don’t let myself indulge in them without proof, though I will say [ would stake almost anything on my assuar- ance that the music was kept hidden durin, the hours it was missing, and that it woul not have been returned 1n time for the per- formance if I had not used threats.” Robert Lloyd has no belief in the Ma- hatma theory, but there are some of his singers who say that nothing but an un- seen power could have removed the music so strangely. The worst of it is that the mystery seems one of those that will never be cleared up. Mark Hopkins Institate of Art. Open daily, including Thanksgiving day and eyening.

The Hale-Gardiner Case Continued to the Next Meeting. A special meeting of the State Board of Prison Directors was held last evening in Director DePue’s office. The petition of Mrs. Martin, who was sent from Oakland to serve fourteen years for defrauding a ‘woman out of $14,000, was considered. She wants to be pardoned because she is very ill and requires the aid of a surgeon. The directors decided not to recommend her pardon, but to allow her to have any phy- sician she may select to assist the prison surgeon. he charge against Warden Hale of having permitted Convict Gardiner to visit Mrs. Gardiner in this city was taken up, but continued to the next meeting. The Chronicle reporter who promised to have present the principal witness to Gardiner’s absénce from the prison failed lo]&roduce the witness as promised. any petitions for the pardon of a man sent from S8an Francisco for fourteen years for arson were read. The man has served eighteen months and is said to be dying of a complication of ills. It was decided to recoramend that hissentence be commuted to two J’ears, which, if granted, will, with the credits for good behavior, let him out in one month.

Dixey in One of Coquelin’s Roles—A Clever Child at Morosco’s. “Dr. Syntax’ continues to be received with favor at the Baldwin Theater. “Casey at the Bat” seems to be continuing a necessary adjunct to the opera, for after De Wolf Hepper has sung his air in the second act, “‘Birdie Was So Fair,” there | are voices from the audience that im- peratively demand ‘‘Casey,” a request to which the comedian always responds. The pretty operetta is one that is sure to com- | mend itself to the coliege boys to-night on | account of its boatrace and its stirling col- | lege cries, which, for this occasion only, | will be localized. The Baldwin, like ali other theaters, will have the usual Thanks- giving matinee. | Herrmann’s performance of magic and | mystery, with its pretty spectacular acces- | sories, is drawing well at the California Theater. Columbia audiences find plenty to laugh atin the adventures of the unfortunate Doubledot, who divorces his wife to dis- embarrass himself of a mother-in-law, and through a second marriage finds that his ex-mother-in-law _has become his grand- mother-in-law. Dixey makes the charac- ter of Doubledot amusing, though he lacks the sincerity and finish as well as the feathery lightness with which Constant Coquelin acted the role when it was plaved here at the Grand Opera-house. Mi ar- | garet Craven makes a charmine “Jo.”” | Next week living pictures will be intro- duced at the Columbia. Marion Nolan | and other local models will pose. The stirring drama “Roger le Honte” is furnishing plenty of excitement for Mo- rosco’s patrons.

Gracie Plaisted is continuing her weil- | earned success 1n ‘‘Cad tne Tomboy” at | Grover’s Alcazar. At the Tivoli “The Lucky Star’’ is at- tracting a good business.
