THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, JUNE 16 3 z38, v1896. 2 #————————M BURGLARS STEAL WEDDING GIFTS Ransack the Residence of the Rev. John Stephens. RICH PLUNDER TAKEN. The Pastor and His Wife Were | at Prayer-Meeting at the Time. A BOLDLY EXECUTED BURGLARY Entrance Was Effected Through a Window and Escape Was Made by the Rear. While the Rev. John Stephens, pastor of Simpson Memorial Church, was advocat- ing the amassing of spiritual wealth at prayer-meeting last Wednesday night divers jimmy-wielders were ransacking the reverend gentleman’s humble cottage at 309 Haight street with a view of laying up s little earthly treasure in the shape of numerous wedding gifts, which the doctor and his wife had received upon their mar- riage day some six months ago. The prayer-meeting concluded about9 o'clock, and as the parsonage is less than five blocks from the church 1t could not have been more than a quarter past 9 when the pastor and his wife reached home. As he opened the aoor the doctor saw one of the gas jets burning brlliantly. The burglars, like the wise virgins in the parable, had heeded the warning to “‘be ready when the bridegroom comes,” for they evidently fled precipitately through theaiready opened back door and gate lead- ing oui into a little street or alley that runs back from Buchanan street, just op- vosite the Protestant Orphan Asylum. Like the wise vir{ins again, their lamps were bright, even if not trimmed, and the | flaming jet certainly ‘‘sent forth a radiant lighe.” { g{'}eeing the light the unsuspecting | preacher, who innocently thought that | nobody would stoop to such depths of folly and wickedness as to rob a poor Methodist | parson, asked his wife why she had left the light burning. She was positive she had put out the light. Then he noticed that the door into the bedroom was un- locked, and when he asked his wife why she had not locked the door she again was | certain she had done so, By thistime | their suspicious were aroused and they be- | gan to examine their belongings. | Mrs. Stephens’ black silk dress was missing, as were the doctor’s overcoat and | a silver watch, which had been presented to him as a “pulpit monitor.” The bureau drawers had been ransacked and all the wedding presents of the couple | were missing. Mrs. Stephens usually kept | the gifts hidden in a secret place in the | house, but on the day before the burglary she had taken them out to show a friend and had pushed them under the bed, in- | stead of replacing them in their hidiug-: lace. When they made these startling discov- | eries Dr. and Mrs. Stephens hastened out ‘ into the street and told the story to some | of their friends who were coming up | Buchauan street from the prayer-meeting. | One of them, C. B. Perkins, quickly noti- | fied the police, who are now actively work- | ing on the case. < | Mrs. Stephens feels very bad over the loss, as the sentimental vaiue of the wed- ding gifts, which had been given by | various friends, was much greater than | their actual vaiue, which, however, was considerable, amounting to a couple of hundred dollars. | The burglary of the house was a particu- larly bold undertaking, for the neighbor- hood is thickly built up and cars were con- stantly passing. Entrance to the house | had been effectea by climbing up on a fence and prying open the side window | with a jimmy, breaking the catch by which the window was locked. The burglars had then evidently opened the back door and gate in order to escape read- ily in case the occupants returned. Dr. Stephens believes that they were | busy ransacking the dining-room when | they heard the noise of his key opening the front door and that they then immed- iately fled with their booty. The empty boxesin which the presents had been packed were left scattered about the bedroom. The silverware, which con- stituted much of the booty, was marked with the owner’s name, but if, as is prob- able, the burglars were Erofessinnnls, this mark of identification has doubtless been obliterated. Although the thieves were evidently somewhat familiar with the house and custom of the occupants to be absent at rayer-meeting on Wednesday evenings, | r. Stephens and his wife have scarcely any suspicions as to who the burgiars were. The only one the doctor can think of is atramp who applied at the house at various times, and whom the doctor gave work in the garden in return for meals and other assistance. However, the doctor has no further reason for sus- pecting him to be the guilty person. Inasmuch as the police were almost im- mediately notified and Detective Dillon was at the house a few moments after the burglary, it is hoped that the thieves may be captured. PAQE, HINRICHS" RETURN He Comes to Conduct a Season of Grand Opera at the Tivoli. His Views on Some Modern Com- posers—Shocked at the Dark Streets. Gustav Hinrichs, the well-known ope- ratic conductor, arrived here yesterday evening to begin the rehearsai for his sea- son of grand opera at the Tivoli. “Jt is ten years since I was in San Fran- cisca professionally. That was with Theo- dore Thomas of the American Opera Com- pany,” said Mr. Hinrichs, when askea about his recent movements. Although he has been s0 prominentiy connected with music in Philaaelphia for the last decade, Gustay Hinrichs has never ceased to look upon Ban Francisco as his home. His family have continued to reside at his hounse in the 2100 block on Pine street, and whenever he has been able to steal a month or two from his Eastern engage- ments, he has come to this city. It was here that he composed his opera “‘Anti- Ora,” for which Mrs. Toland made the libretto, though the work was produced in Philadelphia, where it proved a cem- plete success. Bpeaking of his earlier days in San T Gustav Hinrichs said: ‘It was here that I first conducted at the old | rooms. California Theater, on July 23, 1871, so I shall celebrate my twenty-fifth anniver- sary as a conductor next month,” and in reply to a remark that he did not look like a man who had worked for a quarter of acentury as a chef d’orchestra. he replied laughingly, “I was 20 years old at the time, and in the daylight look my 45 years,” £ For the last ten years Gustav Hinrichs has conducted a season of grand opera every year in Philadelphia. He is very enthusiastic about the season just ended. “Financially ic was not a success; all over the East the season was a disastrous oune, as the failure of Abbey and Grau shows. We had a $50,000 guarantee fund to start with, and were able to engage good artists. I went to Paris and brought five artists from the Grand Opera-house, as well as Mme. Emma Nevada, and sheis a charming singer, a host in herself. : “*Among the operas new to Philadelphia that we gave were Ernest Reyer's ‘Sigurd,” a magnificent work, and the German version of ‘Hansel and Gretel.” The 1atter is very pretty and took splen- didly.” Speaking of new operas and composers, Gustav Hinrichs expressed the most ir- tense admiration for Puccini’s “Manon Lescaut,” a work to which he gave the first American production. ‘‘Compared to Massenet’s ‘Manon’ 1t is like a glass of champagne compared to a glassof soda water. Puccini is the most modern and the most talented of all the young Italian composers, and I consider that he has a great future before him.” That Mr. Hin- richs knows a good deal about modern Italian composers is proved by the fact that he was the musician wbo first intro- duced to America ‘‘Cavaileria Rusticana,” “L’Amico Fritz"” and ‘I Pagliacci.”” The conductor was utterly astonished to find the San Francisco streets in darkness. *Idid not know what to make of it when we got out of the business streets and found no street-lamps,”’ he said. *I re- member we had one experience of the sort | years ago, under Denis Kearney, but in ’96 it is incredible that such a thing should be tolerated. I believe this is the only city on earth that is in such a condition.” A number of the members of the new troupe arrived from the East with Mr. Hinrichs.

OPPOSITION IN THE ELECTION The Younger Members Determined to Stir Up the Society and Make It a Center of Life, The Society of Califorria Pioneers will hold its annual election on the 7th prox., and already there are unmisiakable indi- cations of a lively if brief campaign. The present regime will apply prac- ticaily for re-election, but will be met by an opposition ticket. The latter will bear the names and indorsements of what is known as the “young, progressive ele- ment.” This element has declared itself in a printed circular which will be issued shortly under the auspices of a nominating committee of the opposition stalwarts. The circular reads: SAN FRANCI: 0, June 27, 1896. To the Member: iety of California Pioncers—FELL Our society, 50 munificently endowed, seems to have struck a “dry rot.” The policy of the majority of the present board of directors is re- sponsible for the state of affairs. In- stead, therefore, petuate thes high time the society should elect a board more iu synipathy with their own views, and one that will not ignore their wishes when ex- pressed at the monthiy meetings. We believe that the system of hereditary office-holding under the parentage and patron- age of a board of directors who undertake to decree from year to year who shall be the president and who shall be the other officers ot the society is an insult fo the intelligence of every old pioneer possessed of & modicum of intelligence and self-respect; that it should now be brought to an end by a vote of such emphatic condemnation as will for years to come set the seal of condemnation upon this autocratic mode of procedure. of permitting them to per- ves in office, we believe it is ticularly handsome and complete.

In fact, the | St. George Club aspires, and with good | ground, to be the Manhattan Athletic Club of San Francisco. The building will be two stories in | height, facing on Mason street, and will | contain many commodious rooms besides | the large hall for athletic exhibitions. | This hall will contain every instrument for athletic recreation and education that | the mind of a muscie-making, sport-loving man could conceive ordey s the pro- posed additions will cost a large amount | of money the members appeal to all Brit- | ishers to assist them in establishing the recognized British headquarters of the State. The completed list of officers of the club | reads now as follows: | William Greer Harrison, honorary president; Percy Beamish, William Doxey, F. D. Brandon, W. J. Field, Colonel A. Andrews, Lyons, vice-presidents; N. W. Bolton, honor- ary chaplain; Edward Oliver, secretary; Frank Winterburn, treasurer; W. G. Pope, sergeant-at- arms; executive committe . H. Rae-Brown, B mp, A.

The fencing-master has not yet been de- cided upon, but will probably be Captain Martin, late fencing-master of the Olym- pic Club. The St. George Club has grown out of the old organization, the Sons of St. George. -This drew the lines of member- ship strictly to “Englisbmen, sons of Englishmen or grandsons of Englishmen, wherever born,” but the present club has taken down this barrier and considers eligible to membership any gentlemen, whether he be British or American.

A parsimonious policy seems to prevaii in the present board, and they fear to make Dproper investments of the funds of the society looking toward placing it in the front rank of the leading clubs, associations or societies of our City. White not aavocating extravagant expendi- tures, we submit to you that it is & sound business policy to place our society upon such | &n advanced basis that it will lead our mem- bers to gather oftener and in greater numbers than they now do at our hall. We submit that a reasonable percentage of the magnificent endowment made to this so- ciety by James Lick should be so apportionea and expended that old pioneers shall receive. substantial benefit from it while living, in en- larged comforts, attractions, social opportuni- tiesand entertainment in the Pioneer build- ing, than the gloomy, forbidding and unat- tractive conditions which now prevail. Willing as we are that the young men who are to succeed us shall be =0 well endowed as to make them proud of and grateful for their inheritauce, we consider at the same time the welfare, happiness and pleasure of the old men, now far down toward the foot of the hill of life, an object paramount to this and in keeping with the wishes and intentions of | James Lick, to whose beneficence we in fact owe our existence as an association. The present dreary loneliness reminds us that there is but little that interests our large society sufficiently to bring them to its own apartments, _We therefore submit the ticket which we shall hereafter inclose to members and ask you to see that it is elected at _the poll on the com- ing 7th of July, pledging our candidates to tne following advanced platiorm: The club now has on the roll more than [* First—A sound ilnlncln\'})ollcy that, whiie 300 members.

A dispatch has been sent to McAuliffe and the club is awaiting a reply. be St. George Ciub is affiliated with clubs of like name in England, Africa, Australia and in all the different States of the Union. Anti-Suffrage Club. Ten ladies and two geptlemen were present at the anti-suffrage meeting, held undaer the auspices of Mrs, Carrie Murray, yesterday afternoon .n the Mills building. Mrs. Murray made an opening address, saying that to give women the ballot would make them equal to men ard de- stroy the home. T. Case said he thought it was the proper thing to recognize woman’a right to labor, but he did not be- lieve in giving her the batlot. . In intellect woman was man’s equal, but physically she was not strong enough to stump the State. Approbation was expressed for this speech by several of the ladies present, tEongh strange to say, it was afterward resolved to appoint two lady orators to stump the State, in order to found anti- suffrage clubs. The selection of these speakers was left to the president, and the meeting adjourned, to assemble again at her call. ——————— Cocoanuts. Tropic Bird just in with cargo of cocoanuts, for Pioneer Brand shredded and desiccated cocoanat. L. G. Sresovich & Co. it does not propose to belittie by the niggardly plan so characteristic of the. present board of directors, does not on the other hand propose to spend our funds extravagantly, but Ey mak- ing our rooms attractive and offering a pleas- ant place for meeting for our members, old and young, will actually increase our revenue and make us an ‘“‘up-to-date’” institution. Second—A liberal policy to be pursued relative to the relief offered our members. We pledge ourselves to do what we can to help those of our members who really need it, ana to do this 1n such a manner that no old pioneer shall feel a sense of shame and humili- ation when he comes (othe relief committee for needed aid in his closing days; but sather that he asks, as he has a perfect right to ssk, substantial aid from the common inheritance that was left and exists for the good of us all; that isnotto pe doled out by the unsympa- thetic and unpitying hand of rich’ men to whom fortune has been so kind that it has placed them beyond the conception of what real want is, and beyond the pale of consider- ation for those who feel the relentless sting of its torture. The time has come when worthy old pioneers mast not be compelled to go hat in hand, “to the powers that be,” to beg in humble supplication for relief, but on making known their need shall be graciously and kindly made to share a portion of the common wealth of the association, and be made also to feel no sense of moral or social degradation in doing so. Too often in the past favoritism has charac- terized our benefactions, and not a few have had their last moments saddened by cold dis- regard on the part of those who should have relieved end comforted them. We are assured that 1t is thealmost unani- mous sentiment of our junior members_ that they have no desire to accept the magnificent bequest this society will leave to James Lick’s generosity at the expense of denying while 1iv- ing a reasonable amount of help to & senior member or & decent buriai at death. We by no means mean to convey the idea toat we intend to waste our resources; but it must be patent to many that some improve- ment is possible in the system of relief which now prevails and has caused so much dissatis- faction among our members, and that improve- Ment we proj now to accomplish. Third—We believe that there is a8 much for the pioneer to do in 1896 as hali a century ago, and that we have still vigor and enterprise left to continue to take the lead as then. We believe in progress now as much as in the days of 1849. We therefore confidently eppeal to you to discriminate in favor of the ticket we shall hereafter present to you. Two of the present board are upon it as_well as two others who have been directors heretofore. These mem- bers are femillar enough with the affairs of the wcietir to properly inform the new members, and if you elect them we predict for our society & new ere of prosperity unparalleled in any previous time in our hisiory. This society should stand unequaled by any other. Itremains for your vote whether we shall have progress or continued *‘Dry Rot.” A quick, earnest, active and efficient c.mpflin of a week among your friends will settle the question in favor of all we pledge. Our head- quarters will be made known in due season and ample opportunity offered to all who desire to do so to participate in this movement. MONEY IN THIS LAND. SUff Prices Paid for Small Ranches in the Murphy Tract, at Moun- tain View. Yesterday morning the special excur- sion train leaving Fourth and Townsend streets for the purpose of conveying the excursionists to the public offering of the Martin Murphy estate at Mountain View consisted of seven coaches, with about 475 people, and this train met the excursion train from San Jose on the property at noon. There were about 1200 people on the ground. The sale was commenced promptly at 1 o’clock, and all the property was disposed of, except five lots, with a total sale of $44,825. The average price of the unim- proved land ranged from $120 to $200 an acre, and the improved land in one and two year old orchards of apricots, prunes and peaches, from $155 to $240 an acre.

Mission Defense Union Elects Delegates to the Campaign Convention. The Mission Defense Union held its reg- ular meeting last nightat the corner of Twentieth and Guerrero streets and dis- cussed the new charter. The union is strongly in its favor, and a number of the members spoke advocating its adoption. They did not hold that the proposed charter was perfect, but was an improve- ment on the old, and it would not do to reject it. udge A. W. Thompson and Alfred Wal- com were elected delegates to the conven- tion of improvement clubs, which will work in the interests of the charter. Judge Thompson was requested to ad- dress the union at the meeting next Satur- day evening. ——————— Popular Route and Popular Rates. The San Francisco and North Pacific Raile way is always to the front with popular rates. It realizes that it traverses asection of country which is unrivaled for beauty of scenery and unexcelled for climate. It belleves in a busi- ness policy of making people acquainted with the country through which it runs, and ac- cords very low rates in order that they may do so. This year they will sell from July 1 to 3, in- clusive, round-trip tickets to Ukish, its terminus, with return limit July 6, at only $5 for the round trip. This gives an idea of the low basis of rates established for the Fourth of July holidays to all other points of its line. On July 4 and 5 you can buy tickets to all points above San Raiael at one single fare for the round trip, good to rafurn on either of those days and alsoon July There are some people who can get away only at this time to visit the resorts of Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake ecounties, and in order that all may embrace the optormnily greatly. reduced rates are offered. The tickets will be on sale for the resorts from July 1to4, in- clusive, with return limit July 13. A great many of our people who take their two weeks' vacation about the 4th of July | now have an np_FoHllm!y to make the trip and save money. This line has thrown the coun- try through which it passes wide open to the public, and we bave no doubt many will take advantage of this opportunity to have & pleas- ant time and renew their health. > | The German Emperor has 350 carriages | in his stables in Berlin.

Collided With a Wooden Stool on the Market-Street Railway. NOW A CLAIM FOR DAMAGES. Railroad Company Sued—Experts May Be Called on the Horse’s Men- tal Conditicn. Dominick Roberts had a horse, a large horse, 8 good horse. One day while Rob- erts was driving along Ninth street, com- ing into Market, the horse collided with a wooden stool. The horse did not see the wooden stool, but as proof that human in- telligence far surpasses brute instinct, it may be said that the street-railroad man stationed by the railway company for du'._vl at that point never loses sight of the stool. Anyhow, Roberts’ horse stu mbled over the stool, and falling hit his head hard. Roberts, in_a suit which he has broughnt in the Justices’ Court to recover damages from the Market street Railway Company, avers that the horse has lost his mindJin consequence of the accident and is no longer of any value or use. Therefore, he wants the company to pay the value of the horse—that is to say, the value when the horse was rational and sound minaed. This suit is one that cannot be decided in an off-hand manner. It will be the duty of the court, perhaps, to call for ex- pert testimony on the subject of equine sanity. It is just possible that a horse, like a human being, may be sane on a mul- tiplicity of topics and hopelessly “off”” on some single subject. At the St. Lawrence stable the horse people aamit that the trial must present some new and profoundly interesting ques- tions on “equine jurisprudence,’’ or at least when that language was used to the boss stableman he did not dissent. Another horseman present said he knew that horses went crazy from eating rattle- weed, and that during one year five horses killed themselves by jumping overa preci- pice near Livermore. It was supposed by the men at the St. Lawrence that both sides would call veterinary surgeons on the questions of the horse’s mental condi- tion before and after the fall. Barry Coleman of the United Carriage Company was of the opinion that, if the expert testimouy should prove that the horse was crazy, then it would be proved that the horse had a mind, and havinga mind it would follow in the natural order of existeuce that the horse had a soul. Dr, Chismure was sure that a horse had a mind, something superior to instinct, and cited as proof the intelligence of trained horses. oped by training, but mental powers were. Mr. Coleman cited many ‘instances of horses getting ‘“rattled”’ irem eating rat- tleweed, and remarked that he never heard of that weed in Kentucky and Mis- souri. He thought 1t possible that a horse’s brain could be injured so that the animal would be worthless for general work. One of the carriage company’s horses broke away once and ran his head against a spike in a telegraph pole. The horse lived a year, but Mr. Coleman did not sue the Western Union Telegraph Company for damages. The case will surely call many expert horsemen to the court, for it is admitted by all of them that the question presented is new. Petty Larceny Thief.
