The Mission Defense Reorganized for Improvement Purposes. | The Mission Defense Club that was in existence when the homes of the resi- dents of the sunny belt were threatened with wholesale ejectment suits was re- vived last night and was organized into a Mission improvement union, with the following officers, all of whom were | elected at the meeting: James D.

NEAT WORK IN BREAK-| ING A WINDOW, The Thieves Selected a Time When the Proprietor Was at Lunch, {0 ONE SAW THE RASCALS WHILE THERE. The Crime Was Committ.d During One of the Busiest Hours of th: Day. One of the most daring daylight bur- glaries that has taken place in this City for years was committed on Thurs- street, between The show window of 1 window and the disarranged condition of the goods showed that a bold burglary had been committed. | Thestrange part of it was that no one could be fonnd who had seen the thieves | or heard the crash of glass. The police were called and expressed the opinion | that a heavy cloth, like the skirt of a | coat, had Leen placed over that part of the window before the rlass was shattered by the blow. A crowd quickly gathered from the neighboring stores and places of busi- | ness, but none could throw any light on the matter. A little later Mr. Noble arrived and made an_inventory of his lo<s, and found that the thieves had stolen only unset cat diamonds and diamonds in rings and shirtstuds. Thers were watches, piain rings, lockets, chains and other vainabled in large numbers, but none of these were disturbed, except to be tossed about by the hands of the thieves while in quest of the pracious stones. In speaking of the burglary Mr. Noble | stated that it was no doubt committed by | persons who were familiar with his habits. He believes that the fellows must have watched his place from the doorways of several of the saloons near by for days, waiting until such time as Mr. Rethy, the shoemaker, should go away at the same bour. It would have been ‘almost impos- sible for the thieves to have broken the window while the shoeman was in his store, as Mr. Rethy would certainly have seen any one stepping off the street into the entrace of both stores. Their patient waiting was at last re- warded by both storekeepers leaving their places of business at the same time. Several detectives are at work on the case looking for the thieves and to recover the s:olen jewels, but so far without sue- | cess, as the burglars have not, =0 far as known, put the plunder in any pawnshop, | either in pawn or for sale. | —_— A BODY IN THE HILLS | | | Two Boys Discover It, but the Police | Fail to Find It. James Cameron, 11 years of age, living at 2017 Twenty-second street, and Roth v S The Show-Window at 222 O'Farrell Street, Through Which the Diamonds Were Stolen. 0. Nolte, manufacturing jeweler, at 222 O'Farrell street, was broken open, a quan- tity of diamonds ana diamond jewelry stolen, and the thieves escaped undetected. Mr. Nolte's place of business is not large and his front door opens at an angle. Opposite is the shoeshop of George Rethey, the door of which opens at an opposite angle. The entire front of the little jewelry-store is taken up as a show- window, in which are displayed the goods for sale. The window extends across the entire front and around to the door, just off the sidewaik. It was this side window that was broken. It is Mr. Nolte’s custom to leave the store at noon and go home fo his dinner. He always locks the front door and has felt no uneasiness, as Mr. Rethey never leaves the shoestore as he lives in the rear of his place of business. On Thursday, bowever, the shoeman locked his door and went out to makea purchase during the absence of the jew- eler, and when he went back he found broken glass scattered all over the en- trance. A glance showed him where it had come from. A hole the size of a man’s hav had been broken in Nolie's side Haskell, 10 years of age, living at 3326 Arm street, ¥ere enjoying themselvcs on | the hills near the Almshouse yesterday | afternoon, when they discovered the body of a man, with a hole in the head and blood all round it. The boys got scared and ran home, tell- ing their parents of what they had seen. The Seventeenth-street station was noti- fied and Policeman Connolly was sent with the boys to find the body. Tney searched for several hours, but tbe boys seemed to be unable to find the exact locality ard further search was atandoned till this morning, when another attempt will be made to find the body.

So great was the desire to hear the Nordica-Scalchi combination at the Bald- | win Theater yesterday afternocon that even the fortunate possessors of seats had almost to fight their way to them, so great was the crowd of music-lovers, who con- sidered it no hardship to stand in order to hear the singers. | One reason for the great rush was, no | doubt, the general desire to hLear th “Awakening of Brunhilda,” from “‘Sieg- fried,” which was performed with the a: sistance of an augmented orciestra. Reports have come here from time to | time of Nordica’s success in Wagner | music-drama, but it would be safe to say | that even her most ardent San Francisco | admirer was unprepared for her magniti- | cent rendering ot the *Siegfried” music. | “The Awakening of Brunhilda” closed the programme and it was well it did, for | the audience was so wrought up over the music and Nordica’s singing that to have sat sull and listened to a m:scel!lanecus programme afterward would have been like dropping from the sublime to| the commonplace. In the “Awakening | of Brunhilda,” the warrior goddess 1s lying in the long sleep into which sne was | put by Wotan, when Siegfried approaches | and wakes her with a kiss. Then follows the duet which makes the finale of *‘Sieg- ! iried.” | From the moment of her awakening | until the curtain went down on Brunhilda in Siezfried’s arms, Nordica fairiy elec- | trified her hearers by her singing and acting. | Barron Berthald, as Siegiried, did not | stand at all upon Nordica's plane. The faults in the production of his really fine voice were more apparent when he was singing with the heavy orchestral scoring. | In iact, be had to do a zood deal of good Wagnerian shouting to make any showing | at all in the duet. | In the dramatic interpretation of Sieg- fried he was more at home than he was as | Faust, or Munrico. Isidore Luckstone conducted his orchestra very inteliizently 1n the “‘Siegiried” excerpt and prevented itfrom in any way overpowering the vocal score. Even in the miscellaneous portion of the programme Noraica was in excellent voice yesterday, as if the :dea of her com- ing Waguer number exhilarated her. She opened with a pretty little song *‘Ecstasy,” | by Mrs. Beach, followed by the charmin, lullaby that Isidore Luckstone cumpose§ for her. | The composeras well as Mme. Nor- dica received an ovation for this son The “*Spring Song’’ by Weil, which con- cluded her c.uster of songs, called forth such an ovation that Mme. Nordica re- | sponded with Se le’s “D» Basek,” and as | that only whetied the taste for more, she gave “When Love is Kind.” Barron Berthald’s contribution to the miszelianeous part of the programme was Clay’s “I'll Sing Thee Songs of Araby,” and as an encore, “Love's Sorrow.” In the former number he managed the | A more carefully tban on Thursday night | and succeeded in producing the effect of | a mixed tone instead of a pure falsetto. If his phrasing had been betier he would | really have sung the “‘Araby’’ song very well, but he breathad too often 1o phrase effectively. His singing of “Love’s Sor- row’ was marked by a good deal of feeling. Scalchi was out of voice yesterday, par- ticularly in her first song, **Ab, rende’ " She seemed to recover herself later, however, and gave a fine interpretation of | Seebel’s second aria from Gounod’s | “Faust,” “Quando a te lieta,” which is too often omitted in theopers.
