Mrs. Susan Martin shot and fatally wounded ber husband, John F. Martin, a deputy County Clerk, yesterday morning | to have ber fol discounted his warrant last Saturday and immediately started out on a debauch. He failed to go home, and on Sunday night he was conspicuous in a drunken state in the saloons about the City Hall. His unfortunate wife, who is in a deli- cate condition, started out early yesterday morning hoping to find him and take | him bome. She carried an English buli- | dog pistol, which she secured some weeks | ago, and was determined if her search was | unsuccessful to put an end to her own life. She had already many times before said she found her life unbearable and would end it in suicide. Taking her station on MecAllister street, | near Larkin, she saw her husband step off the car. “Jack!” she exclaimed, running toward him. ‘“Jack, won’t you please come home to me; my heart is just bregking.” A number of people heard the woman’s words and saw her sobbing. 3 Martin barely looked at his wife and in a low, husky voice grunted something un- intelligible and passed up the stairs into the nall. Mrs.” Martin followed bim closely, ap- pealing to him to stop and listen: to her as they proceeded along the corridor. He finally stopped when he reached the enirance to Chief Crowley’s office, and, turning to his wife, began abusing her in an undertone, saying he did not propose ing him around where- ever he went. Finally he called ber a vile name and, turning on his heels, he started away. At this moment the woman drew her pistol and almost point blank she pointed 1t at his back. The bullet entered near the middle of his back and took a downward course, making its exit through his abdomen. Martin fell to the floor and screamed with pam. Mrs. Martin, half crazed, puiled the trigger once more, but the bullet went wide of its mark.

Two years ago she married the man she shot yesterday. At that time she and her | sister were playing at the Bella Union | Theater, where he was working as a bar- tender for Ned Foster, the proprietor. Subsequently Foster, who married one of | the girls, presented Martin with the down- stairs barroom, that he might do better for bimself and Susie, whom he had asked | in marriage. Martin proved to be a model husband for the first year. Then he had a severe spell of sickness and was Jaid up for many weeks. His wife watched and | nursed him night and day until Dr. C. W. | | Card, who was in charge, had to compel | her retirement. From 167 pounds she had fallen away to a mere skeleton and she soon required the physician’s attention herself. It was at that time that her husband’s | bad traits came to the surface. Having recovered his health he deserted his wife and home and began a series of misdeeds that culminated in driving the woman to attempt his life. He drank very heavily and especially after the first of the month | when he wonld receive his wages for | driving the California police patrol wagon | he would go on sprees which woula in- | variably leave him a penniless and broken- down man. | Mrs. Martin and a 10-year-old son of her | husband by a former marriage frequently | had to call'upon Ned Foster and his wife for the necessaries of life. Martin never took any money home, and quite re- centiy the landlord of their home at545 | California street threatened to eject them | unless the long overdue rent was forth-} coming. | A short time ago Mrs. Martin was | O'Keefe’s home to be cared for.

Deputy County Clerk Piper, a close friend of Martin, asked him who did the shooting. To this Martin gzave the same answer he gave to all other inquiries made later on. 5 “Idon’t know who did it. from behind.” When first taken to the prison Mrs. Martin had a brief explanation to make, but after she was put to bed she refused absolutely to converse excepting with her sister, Mrs. Ned Foster, who was sum- moned to her side. “I did not intend killing Jack,” she said. “He just drove me toit. For the past year he has driven me almost insane. Night atter night he has remained away from me, breaking my heart. I have pleaded with him repeatedly to come home and quit drinking, but he would not listen to me. He spurned me and called me such vile names I could not stand it any longer. When I drew the pistol I had no idea of using it excepting upon myself. I don’t know how it occurred—I shot him instead of myself.” I was shot Stole Cigars and Whisky.

MARTIN. / Z, AR RN NN SHE SINGS IN DARKNESS, A Young Italian Prima Donna, Who Is Touring the World Alone. CONCERTIZED IN SIBERIA. Blindness Compelled Miss Belinfante to Give Up a Brilliant Operatic Career. “I am alone and blind, but people have been so kind that I have never felt forlorn or helpless.” The girl who said these words yesterday, in her room at the Grand Hotel, was sur- rounded by outward and visible proofs of the fact that people had not neglected her on account of the total darkness which is slowly but surely settling down upon her beautiful dark eyes. She isa singer who has just arrived here from the Orient, and her room is full of the trophies which ad- miring audiences gave her on her travels. Lacquered and silver ware, gorgeous em- breideries, and, above all, endless ribbons and sashes, whicn the people of Japan pre- sented with floral tributes. Miss Belin- fante is not quite blind yet; she can dis- tinguish objects when they are held close to her eyes in certain lights, but slowly, day by day, the shadows are gathering deeper round her, and before many months are past the doom of total adark ness will be upon her. Even now she does not dare to venture out alone, though she is making the tour of the world by herself and is her own impresario. s The young girl’s history is a singularly pathetic one, though it shows what can be achieved by talent ana pluck. Estrella Belinfante, whose father was Spanish and her mother Italian, was leit an orphan when a few years old. A Scoteh family in Loundon adopted her and gave her every possible educational advantage. Aithough rather frail in physique she was found to have a phenomenal voice, and in order that it might have the best musical cul- ture she was taken when quite young to Naples and placed as a student in the con- servatory. After seven years’ study Estrella Belin- fante made a debut which created quite a sensation, even in musical Italy. Her voice, a magnificent mezzo soprano con- tralto. attracted the attention of Sonzog- no, who engaged ber for ‘Carmen’” and other operas, of which he possesses the Italian rights. The composer, Pietro Mas- | cagni, was also greatly delighted with the | young girl’s singing. ~At that time he was | at work on “L’Amico Fritz,”” and at once | secured her to create the role of Beppo. when the work should be produced. Meanwhile Miss Belinfante continued to appear in Milan and Naples with success. One day, in the latter city, when she was singing the role of Zingara, in *La Forza | del Destino,” she noticed thatin the rat- | njplan, where the burden of leading all the | choristers falls on tLe mezzo soprano’s | shoulders, the conductor’s baton suddenly grew blurred and faded. She went on! with her rol:, however, and before the rat- | aplan was ended, by straining her eyes, she could see the baton azain. A few days | after, the experience of ioss of vision was repeated, and then Miss Belinfante con- sulted an oculist. The oculist’s verdict was too grave to be realized or believed, at first. The nerve which connect the eyes with the brain was said to be affected on the Miss Belinfante set out toward the Orient, via the Suez canal. On board the singer who was slowly going blind was made much of by the pas- sengers, and when she arrived in China her friends insisted on her giving a con- cert. An accompanist was hunted up, some local talent was engaged, and Miss Belinfante’s singing proved such a succes- that she was emboldened to give several more concerts in Yokohama and Shangs hai. At this point the chaperone became smitten with malaria and homesickness and had to return to Italy, but Miss Belin- tante was resolved to continue her tour. She visited Sibera, and even went a_little way along the new trans-Asiatic line to give a concert, always meeting with suc- cess. It was after those concerts that I felt I had found.a vocation again,” she said yes* terday. I shall lose my sight entirely very soon, but before that'happens I want to make a place on the concert stage. As for the kindness of the peovle in Siberia and Japan I cannot find words to describe it. At Vladivosteck 1 was treated like a little queen by the officers of the fleet and the Governor and his family. The hotels there are simply atrocious, but the ad- miral said: ‘Weare not allowed to have a lady on board after dark, though by day the fleet is yours.’ In Japan, too, the peopl: were charming.” Miss Belinfante has a number of letters of introduction to residents of San Fran- cisco, and she asked almost with the eage1- ness of a child what was the character of | the Californians. ‘“Are they kina? Will | they come and take me for a walk sume- | times, these people wno are friends of my friends? This is my first visit to America, and though I cannot see the town, I'can feel the air and hear the bustle of the streets. Itis lonely to sit in one’s room all day, but in San” Francisco I mean to inaugurate my fresh hold on life by en- gaging an accompanist and studying all my old operas—this time for concerts only though, for 1 shall never tread the stage again.” DOCKERY MACES MRRESTS Managers of Prominent Hotels Will Be Taken Into Cus- tody To-Day. The Recently Enacted Milk Ordi- nance Will Go Into Effect at Once. Milk Inspector Dockery will swear out warrants to-day for the arrest of J. C. Kirkpatrick, manager of the Palace Hotel; Major Hooper, manager of the Occidental Hotel; General R. H. Warfield, manager of the California Hotel; James Hagerty, grocer, 241 Fourth street; E. Hahn, 230 Fourth street; R. Tardelli, fruit-dealer, 113 Sixth street; Meads, coffee-parlors, 205 Sixth street; F. C. Kaufman, grocer, Fourth and Tehama streets; and Paul Christianson, restaurant-keeper, 111 Mar- ket street. All will be charged with violating the new milk ordinance, which says that all | hotel, restaurant or boarding-house kecep- ers, as well as dealers in milk, must obtain permits from the Board of Health to carry on the busiue: The ordinance went into effect some time ago, and the Board of Health de- cided to give those who came under the measure ample time to take out their permits. Recently notices were sent out to all those who were delinquent in the matter, warning them to call at the office of the board and go through the necessary form, but those mentioned, as well as many others, have failed to comply, and their arrest will be followed by many more. The botel-keepers are said to have deter- mined tocombat the ordinance, and will Estrella Belinfante, the Blind Singer Who Is Touring the World Alome. [Drawn from a photograph.] left side, and all the medical skill in the world, said the physician, could do noth- ing to save the sight of that eye. *“You must leave the stage entirely, unless you wish to lose the sight of your rizht eye also,”” said the oculist. Sonzogno, who refused to lose such a vocal treasure as Miss Belinfante, made light of the verdict, and persuaded the singer to consult another eminent oculist. His diagnosis was if anything more dras- tic, and when the great impresario, Son-| z0gno, realized that the ¢onductor’s baton would soon be invisible to the girl he called the ‘‘coming contralto,”” he ex- claimed: *‘Give up singing entirely; a woman with your voice must be a great celebrity or nothing,”’ Mascagni also ex- pressed bitterness that “L'Amico Fritz” was to lose its Beppo. But the greatest bitterness was felt by the singer herself. She was young and impetuons, and in her agony of mind at having to_lose the fame that seemed al- most within her grasp, she tried to com- mit suicide by throwing herself from the top story of a house in Naples. She was taken up alive, but with shattered bones, and for months lay between life and aeath. /At last she recovered, and though she had lost the sight of her left eye, she found that the long rest and nursing had oroved so beneficial that the doom of the right eye which the oculists had pronounced seemed to have been averted, for she could see well enough to follow the con- ductor’s baton, / Estrella Belinfante went back to the stage and sane with renewed success in some of the leading cities of Italy. But the doom was only averted, not gone. Last Februug.{n-t as she was to have sung at San Carlo, Naples, darkness bezan to settle upon her right eye.

Japan was attracting considerable in- terest and attention at that time, and with a lady to act as companion and chaperone, make a bitter legal fight to have it declared inyalid. Inspector Dockery arrested A. Betti, fruit-dealer, Eleventh and Mission street: Joseph Lander, baker, 121 Sixth street; George D. Starr, cafe-keeper, 9 Sixth street, and M. Johnson, restaurant-keeper, 28 Montzomery street, yesterday on war- rants char%'ng them with violating the or- dinarce. Each was released on depositing $50 bail. ——— SHEAVES FOR GLEANERS.

NEW TO-DAY. eveland's BAKING POWDER. “The results obtained by the use of Cleveland’s Baking Powder have always been satisfactory.” FANNIE M. FARMER, Principal Boston Cooking School, AD FROM THE FAIRIES: The Children’s Hospital Operetta Is in Preparation at Alameda. AN ORIGINAL MUSICAL WORK. It Is a Bright and Catchy Production, With Libretto by Miss Lies of This City. An original operetta written by Miss Camilla E. Lies, a young lady of this City, is to be produced at Alameda on April 17. The object is to endow a bed in the Chil- dren’s Hospital, the same to be known as the “Alameda Bed.” Mrs. Charles L. Tilden of Alameda is the promoter and manager of the affair. Miss Stella Lies, a sister of the author of the libretto, is drilling the choruses. Miss Isabelle McCurrie is the director of elocu- tion and will act as stage manager. Miss Gamble is driiling the fairy dancers. Miss Clara Fisher will have charge of the stage settings. The operetta is to be presented entirely by children under 14 years of age, but the principal singers have already established local reputations for proficiency. In the story of the “Rival Queens,” that being the name of the operetta, it is told that Prince Leon, becoming separated from his companions while hunting, falls asleep in the fairies’ bower. He is found by Nightshade, who was once an attend- ant of Rose, Queen of the fairies, but being banished for bad conduct fled to the goblins, who made her their Queen. Nightshade determines to add the Prince to her household, and in weaving a magic spell over him, that her goblins may bear bim away, is suddenly interrupted by Telfa, an elf, page to Queen Rose, whose presence destroys the spell. expresses to Telfa a wish to see the Fairy Queen. He is warned of the danger, as the Queen has not as yet been seen Ly mortal eye, but is promised safety if he will resign himself to Tella’s care. At mianight the fairies hold their revels. Of course, on beholding the beauteous | Queen the Prince forgets his promise and rushes forward to declare bis love. This haste displeasing the Queen, the Prince is ordered from the court. At this tairy meeting Queen Rose announces that the day has arrived when, according to fairy rules, every queen must lose her power for a month and wander on earth in the guise of a beggar. The reward of | and seeks to lead him away. | thanked | dearest w | Queens” is as follow: | Nightshadeé, Queen of | Pages to Queen Rose. any one doing her a kindness during her wanderings will be the granting of the ! dearest heart wish of that person. The opening of the second act is at the Palace of Nightshade. The goblins, hold- ing high revels, have captured Queen Rose and drag her to the foot of Nightshade's throne. Telfa’s arrival interests the goblins, distracts theirattention from the captive queen and leads to a proposal for indulgence in goblin wine. Telfa drugs | the wine and the goblins succumb to the | potion as they sing. In act 3 Prince Leon is discovered alone in the fairies’ bower. Nightshade arrives Refusing he is bound by her summoned goblins and released again by Teifa.
