The horror and awe of tragedy could not long pervade the tenantless home on Vallejo street. From the delicate vines that form a lacework of green as they cling tremulously to the housewall and modestly aspire to surmount the doorway, to the wealth of fragrant heliotrope which banks the entrance steps—all the sur- roundings and aspects of the place seem breathing something of peace and quiet- ness. The groups of the curious and morbid who had heretofore gathered in front of the residence were not in evidence yester- i day. Yet the place was not deserted. All day friend after friend opened the low gate noiselessly as though in fear of disturbing the sleepers within, and reverently passed into the house. They were paying their last tribute jof love, With a natural reticence it had early been decided by those who were nearest and dearest to the departed, that there should be as little ostentation as possible connected with the burial. With delicate sensitiveness they shrank from the thought of having the features of their |dead friends gazed wupon by those among whom there might possibly be some who were actuated by curiosily or morbidness. For this reason they had de- cided that the bodies should not be viewed. The knowledge of this decision was pai ful to many of the mourning friends— more painful perhaps than thossin charge had appreciated. Scores who had loved and been loved by the dead ladies called to gently remonstrate, The following is a characteristic letter: 824 Valencia street. | 3y Dear Mrs. Hate: Atter Mrs. Swite aud T | left you this afternoon on the sad scene of | your present duties, we talked long and earnestly of our dear deed friend and agreed | to give you the result of our thoughts. WhatI | have to say is only a suggestion and will, I hope, be treatea with tne leniency due an earnest desire to show our respeci—reverence for that silent saint, your friend and ours. Would it not be well, in consideration of Mrs. Cooper’s kindly nature, to give an opportunity 10 some of those people whom sne held in_her tender care, to avail themselves of the painful privilege ot looking upon her beautiful face once more? Thismay at first seem not con- sonant with good taste, but upon reflection I am sure you will think with me that & woman of such wholesome promiuence, of such beneficent influence, should be laid in state where the poorost of her beneficiaries might be able onee-more to gaze @pon the lineaments of that tender face. Think of what it may be to them, and ask if she would not have done for them anything in her power. Were she 10 be laid in her own church—that sacred place to her—ior a period of some 1ew hours, with orderly arrangement for ingress and egress, many a person whose heart may have been touched by her tender ministra- tions, or whose conscience may have been awakened by her justice and moral force— certainly all’ these who loved her—may sigh their adicus. Moreover Mrs. Cooper was a publie woman, with thepublic weal at heart, and the public reverence her; she is entitled to all the honors that would be accorded s men of like strength and usefulness, We think it due to_her—due to her people, due to her public. Wiil you kindly consider the matter from this point of view, and Pnrdnn if 1 seem intrusive? Sincerely and sadly yours, EL1ZABETH H. OULTON. Those who are lovingly performing the work of arranging tlie services felt that the rights of such friends were too strong to be denied. Instead of having the body of Mrs. Cooper lie in state at the church, however, the. caskets were opened yester- day afternoon. The caskets, surrounded by tearful friends, were placed in the cozy little par- lor. A modest arrangement of flowers wasat the head of each. All afternoon the procession of griei-stricken friends passed in and out. There were women rich in worldly goods who had been the patrons of Mrs. Cooper in her charities; there were scores who had been ber b ne- ficiaries. There were tears alike for mother and daughter. The two were in- separable, and the friends of one were the friends of the other. Arrangements bave about been com- pleted for the funeral services to-day. The pallbearers as namea at present— though changes may be necessary—are: John F. Merrill, Professor Earl Barnes, J. Foster, Dr. Jonathan T. McDonald, Major Hooper, C. J. Lathrop, Horace Davis, Lovell White, Edwin Sweeny and John Taylor. Walter Bartnett will act as master of geremonies. There w)ll be a benediction at the house by Rev. J. K. McLean, after which the bedies will be borne to the First Congre- gational Church, where the principat services will be held at noon. These will consist of a requiem by the choir, under the direction ot Samuel D. Mayer, as the caskets are being borne to the al . McLean will read a scriptural lesson, after which the congregation, led by the choir, will «ing a hymn which was al of Mrs. Cooper's fav ritesy Dr. Adams will then deliver a brief address, followed by a eulogy by Dr. McLean., I¢ had been an expressed wish of Mrs. Cooper that Dr. McLean would perform this office for her in cate he survived her. Aftera hymn Dr. Adams will offer a prayer and the services in the church will close with an anthem by the choir. At Laurel Hill Dr. Adams will conduct the services. It is expected that there will be a wealth of floral tributes, and in order that the church may be properly decorated the following ladies have been asked to direct the work: Mrs. Story, Mrs. Jonathan T. McDonald, Mrs, Louis Sloss, Mrs. E, B, Cu ler, Mrs, Sperry, Miss Childs and Miss Mary Bates. Many touching letters of cordolence have been receivea by Mrs. Gaden and Mrs. Hale from persons who are them- selves mourning Mrs. Cooper's death. Among these is the following from the pastor of the Piymouth Congregational Church: PLYMOUTH CONGREGATIONAL (:mmcn.i 1719 Pust sireet. Dear Mrs. Gade My heart is too heavy to write at length; I am so sad! Our friends peacefully sank into the outstreiched arms of our Heavenly Fatber. Earth is poorer to-day; heaven is richer. May God comfort the mourners, and they are not s few. IfI can add any solace or serv- ice please command me. Sorrowfully yours, WiLLIANM D. WILLTAMS. The friends of Mre. Coglper have viewed the remarks of Rev. J. T. Blanchard of Chicago, Dr. C. O. Brown’s iriend, with pained surprise. They declare that the story of her enmity to Dr. Brown on ac- count of a controversy which the latter had had with her cousin, Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, is preposterous on its face, and particularly so to those who had any knowiedge of Mrs. Cooper's character. They deem Dr. Blanchard’s remarks at such & time not only in bad taste, but un- charitable and unchfistian. AN SR Scene of the Exciting International Tug-of-War Commenced at Sutroville Yesterday, and Which Will Be Continued Daily With Two Matinees Throughout the Week. THEY ALL TUGGED ON THE BIG ROPE The International Tug-of- War Started at the Sutro Baths. America and Ireland Proved the Favorites in the First Day’s Contest. One Pull of Thirty Minutes, Qurinz Which Neither Team Was the Winner. The interest in tugs-of-war does not seem to have diminished in San Francisco, judging from the immense crowd that as- sembled in the Sutro Baths yesterday to witness the opening of the great inter- national contest for superiority of strength -—pure hard pulling for merit, The vast amphitheater was black with spectators, many of them being ladies; the seats on the eas: side, which were re- served, were well filled and the prom- enades were thronged with people. Shortly before 3 o’clock triangular signs bearing the names of the first of the com- peting teams were hung over the oneé hun- dred and twenty-four foot cleated plat- form, which had been erected over the smaller of the bathing tanks, “Denmark’’ was hung over the southern half of the platform and ‘‘Norway’' over the northern end,and as the band played the national air of Denmark, the Danish team wearing uniform blue shirts wilh the Ietter D in white on the Losom, marched up to the platform, and then to a Norweigan air the sons of Norway took their positions. The teams werc, Denmark—N. Larsen, captain; M. 8. Madsen, anchor man; O, Johnson, C. Swan, M. F. Clausen, C. Lar- sen, N. Anderson, G. Jensen. Norway was captained by J. C. Johnson, and the mem- bersof the team were Berge Nelsom, an- chor man; Ole Johnson, Fred Ulsen, N. Wilson, H. Helroon, J. Hudson and Louis Larsen. ‘When C. W. Freese, acting as refereeand timekeeper, fired the signai shot, the men on each side buckled down to work and for a few minutes it was an even tug, the indicator remaining as stationary as if it had been nailed to the platform. Sud- denly it moved, going to Dgnmark, but be- fore it had moved one cleat it was haule® back. Then the captain of the Denmarks gave asignal and his men gave one strong pull and Norway went south twoleats. Then followed a 1est and th?1 another tug hard and strong. Denmark gained the advantage and held it, the men sliding backward until the top of the. indicator knocked the distance bar off its pins. Thetug was an exciting one and a loud cheer greeted the winners. Time—12 minutes. Next came the United States and ltaly. The teams were: United States—Peter Buckley, capt#in; Tom Nolan, anchor- man;.A. McCaffel, 8. Pinkerton, Frank Schade, Billy Morgan, James Manning and Geor:e Brickedell. Italian team— Joseph Merani, captain; J. Gabarino, an- chorman; G. Gasper, F. Christo, G. Tor- lero, G, Andrea, F. Parodi and Vig Vacar. The teamns were not evenly matched, for the sons of sunny Italy were much lighter than theose who represented the United States. Still they went to work witn a will, and for a time it was doubtful if the stronger team was going to have a walk- over. But there came a moment when the Americans gained a point and kept it, and at the end of 7} minutes they had pulled their opponents over the winning line. Then came Ireland and Slavonia. The Irish team was captained by James Herd- nedy and James Cameron was the anchor man. The cther members of the team were: John J. Cameron, Walter Bently, John Rogers, James Smith, Jerry O'Dowd and Arthur McMahon. The members of { the Slavonian team: A. Sandon, captain; T. Edminster, anchorman; Joseph Karn- cocy, J. W. Huserick, O. M. Edminster, Z. W. Bastalta, L. Berry and Steve Powell. The Irish team had alfy¢he heaviest men to the front and it was no¥ long before the effect of this arrangement was made ap- parent. After a few minutes of heavy tugging on botn sides the Irish team started their opponents off their feet and in 6 minutes and 10 seconds won the tug. The next was between Canada and Portugal. Thke Canadiuns were captained vy George Duplissea, Robert Smith was anchor-manand the members of the team : F. A. Martin, Dan McPherson, James Jordan, Gus Hoffman, Joe Gibsor ana H. M. McDonald. A. Bourguin waséaptain of the Portuguese. A. Silva, anchor-man; Tony Enos, D. Jackson, Pete Silver, V. Furio, G. Angelo, J. Chilico were the workers. This was an interesting tugand the men seemed equally matched as to strength, but Canzaa proved to be the stronger in 8 minutes and 35 seconds. Then came the last tug of the afternoon, Germany and Bweden. The captain of the German team was C. Weller; J. Kruger, anchorman; F. Gunter, A. Winter, 8. Grosman, W. Barth, J. Wagner and Gus Miller. The team from Sweden, all men who work ut the rolling mills, had for cap- tain A. M. Planck, Kda Anderson, an- chorman; G, Lund, H. Bioom, E. Nielson, Ed Bloom, E. Forsell and Peter Anderson. This was one oi the finest displays of bhard pulling. The indicator went from one side to the other in the center, and what one Jost the other regained. Then the men from the rolling mills pulied with a will and soon got the mastery. Germany ;11; forced to give up and Sweden won in Tie betting was Denmark 10 and Nor- way 5, America 10 and Italy 5, Ireland 10 and Siavonia 4, Canada 10 and Portugal 2, Bweden 10 and Germany 2. > The first tug of the evening was be- tween Canada and Denmark and was one of the best contested ones of the first day and n'ght. The men worked for all there was in it and at the end of the time limit, thirty minutes, neither had been able to dra# the other over the line. The anchor men of the teams were go stiff from the half-hour's exertion they were unabie to rise without assistance. The referee an- nounced that the bets on the tug would not be decided until the final pull. After this Sweden and Italy went at it again. This also was a good show of en- durance and for several minutes neither side won a cleat, but then Sweden got in its work and carried the indicator over the line. The next was between America and Nor- way, and it was a walkover'for America. There appeared a strong determination on the part of Norway to hold fast, but two minutes after the signal America gave a strong pull and the men from Norway were hauled over without an opportunity to catch a cleat to save themselves. Then came a tug between Ireland and Portugal, with bets 3 to 1 on the men from the Green lsle. The effort showed that their opponents were not in it—not a little bit—for they were following the indicator from the firsi, and in thirty-five seconds the Irish team was the winner. This, the shortest tug, was loudly applauded, and the band played “Wearing of the Green’ ‘with unusual vigor. The last pull of the night was between Germany and Slavonia, This pull was also short but well contested. The Ger- mans proved the victors in two minutes and ten seconds. To-night the tournament will be re- sumed at 8 o’clock, and after a day’s rest the various contestants will be fresh for the fray. During the afternoon Tom Sharkey and Danny Needham ¢ave an exhibition match. Sharkey was asked if if he shounld be announced as the champion heavy- weight. Hereplied with that remarkable modesty that has matked his course ail alon “Naw; I'm the champion of the world; didn't the referee say so?”’ And ke was so announced. Sharkey moved around with the agility of a cat and didn’t appear like a man who had been seriously affected by a toul blow. Needham, who is rather a light- weight compared to the sailor, proved himself, in the several rounds, the more graceful and scientific boxer. MONDAY NIGHT SHOWS. The Several Entertainments That Are Offered to Those Who Wish to Go to the 1heater To-Night. To-night Miss Ellen Beach Yaw will make her appearance before a San Francisco audience in the Baldwin Theater. This is the young lady witlrthe reputation of being pos- sessed of an extraordinary voice, one 50 high that it has gained for her the title of the “Eiffel Tower” voice.” “The Cotton King,"” the play that has proved 50 great an attraction at the Columbia Theater during the past week, is to be presented again this evening and will be kept on the boaras for the balance of the week, It is a greatall- melodramatic success. “The Police Patrol,” a most exciting and fascinating melodrama, is to be offered at Moroseo’s Grand Opera-house this evening, with all the wonderful mechanical effects for which this house is noted. One of the scenes will be a representation of Haymarket square, Chicago. “Alabama” will be on at the Alcazar Theater this evening. This production, which was put on last week with a good company and beauti- ful accessories, is the greatest hit that the present management has put before the public. It takes well. The charming musical production which never grows old,The Bohemian Girl,” is what the mauagement of the Tivoli Opera-house has on its bill for to-night. Miss Belle Thorne has been specially engaged to appear in the char- acter of Arline. The Orpheum’s management is to offer a great variety of specialties this evening, in- cluding the Joseph Phoite’s Pantomime Com- pany irom Europe, Cleremont’s trained ani- mais, the monkey comedians and Cushman ana Hélcomb in their special acts.

The skating-rink will also be open for those who wish to cirele around without ex- eriencing the unpleasant coldness of natural ce. The tug-of-war will be on at the Sutro Baths to-night, and as it is an indoor attraction there will be no unpleasant feeling on account of the rain, shouid there be any showers. The display oi power by men of various nations is fascinating and excitin; gl s R OAKLAND RACING TO-DAY. The Produce Exchange Stake the Feat- ure of the Card.

Silverware, Jewelry, Wearing Apparel and Other Articles Stolen. Three Young Men Who Drove Up to the House in a Wegon Suspected of Being the Burglars, Burglars seem to be doing a wholesale business in the Western Addition, as they drive around with a horse and wagon to move easily and expeditiously their plun- der to a place of safety. Between 8 and 9 o’clock Saturday night a horse and wagon stopped in front of the residence of Mrs. Michaels, 1436 O’Farrell street, and three young men jumped out. One of them rang the front-door bell, but there was no response, as Mrs. Michaels and her family were visiting at the resi- dence of Sergeant Lindheimer, 1117 Geary street, who is Mrs. Michael’s father. Two of the young men, after waiting for a minuate or two, disappeared into the house by using, it is supposed, a skeleton key and the third remained outside as a lookout. In afew minutes the other two came out of the house, each carrying a large bundle, which they placed in the wagon, and then the three drove off. Mrs. Michaels and her family returned home between 10 and 11 o’clock and they were amazed to find everything in dis- order. All the bedrooms had been vis- ited and the bureau drawers and closets ransacked. Her son, Joseph’s, dress suit; his goid wauch and chain, and other ar- ticles belonging to him were stolen. Silk waists, hats, and otber articies of wea: ing apparel, belonging to herself and daughters, were also stolen, and a trunk in which was contained her silverware, most of which was her wedding presents, had been broken open and the silverware carried away. The interior of the house was practically looted, almost every article of jewelry going along with the others. Detectives were detailed on the cese yesierday, but with little chance of dis- covering the burglars. Scme of the neigh- bors saw the three young men drive up to the house in the wagon and two of them enter, but they did not suspect that Mrs. Michaels was not at home and paid littte attention to the burglars, so that a de- scription of them cannot be obtained. On the previous Saturday night the resi- dence of Mrs. N. J. Franklin, 1410 O'Far- rell street, two doors from Mrs. Michaels’ house, was entered by burglars and looted, and it is believed that both bur- glaries have been committed by the same men. Two winters ago numerous burglaries were committed im the Western Addition by a lone burglar, and although nearly the whole police force blockaded the streets for weeks they were unable to catch him, There have n several bur- NEW TO-DAY!

Another burglary was reported to the police yesterday morninz. It was at the residence of C. B. Rode, 45 Zoe street, on on Saturday night. Mr. Rode and his family went downtown and on their re- turn they discovered that the place had been entered by burglars, who took $350 in coin and a diamond shirt stud. A skele- ton key had been used to open the front door. Detective Harry Reynolds was de- tailea on the case. but so far he has been unable to find aclew to the burglars. THE BOXERS TC-NIGHT. Hiram Cook Asked to Referee the Con- tests at Woodwards. To-night the quartet of feather-weights— Anthony, Ward, Rochette and Gans—wiil glove their ambitious fists and interview each other in their pugilistic way for ten rounds at Woodward’s Pavilion. They are all lively little fellows and their re- spective records in the ring show up well. It will probably be give and take hard and quick in hoth contests. Adthony and Ward will fight at 115 pounds apiece and Rochette and Gaus at 130. At Corbett's last evening Anthony and Gans were the favorites over their respective opponents at 10 to 8, with plenty of money for Rochette and Ward. The Occidental Club has asked Hiram Cook to referee the contests. Manager John Mitchell does not want any Earp work or a decision from which every lover of tport and fair play will dissent. ‘Without doubt the gentleman so unani- mously chosen will consent to act, and the public may rest assured of a square deci- sion. e Man, ad The Pill.

The hall of the Socialist Labor party at 909 Market street was crowded last night by an audience eager to hear what Gree Majors had to say on the subject of *The Private Ownership of Public Utili- es.” The lecturer delivered a short but pithy address, 1n which he gave some interest- ing facts and figures. The system of pri- vate ownership of pubtic utilities in volved, he contended, an enormous cost upon the public, amounting to something like $82 per capita per annum. This ex- pense is attributed chiefly to the private operation of railways, telegraphs, tele- phones, etc.. and to usury. The average worker produces about §1818 a year, of which he receives $347, the balance being absorbed by the capitalist. In other words, the laborer produces $6 a day and gets$1. The only hope of amelioration, in the !ecturer’s opinion, lay in a ceaseless propaganda which must appeal to seif- interest and avoid metaphysical the- orizing. Branches of the Sociahst Labor party have recently been organized in Santa Barbara and Hollister. —— NEW TO-DAY. Maybe you 've forgotten how good tea can be.
