Roofers Will Make a Fight to Keep the Fire Ordinance as It Now Is. The amendment to the fire ordinance proposed by Supervisor Britt and to be the Fire Department Committee will meet with sturdy opposition when it comes up before the board on Monday for nassage to print. The asphaltum roofers of this City claim that the proposed changes will work a great hardship to them and have prepared a petition, signed by many of the lar.est firms ana corporations of the City, ior preseniation 10 the board. The petition recites that asphalt com- position roofs have proved durable and acceprable 1o the signers, that they have not b unacceptable to the insurance companies, and that to place them under the restrictions proposed will be detri- mental 1o the public interest. The petitioners protest acainst the pro- posed change, and the asphaltum men will appear before the board on Monday and makea ficht for their interests. -~ DIFFERENCE IUURGLAEY‘ Judge Cook Makes a Distinction Tatters of Punishment. Judge Carroll Cook some time ago an- nounced that he made a distinction be- tween burglary cases; thst he was not disposed to be so severe on persons con- victed of entering stores or other unoccu- were committed by entering private resi- dences where familes were living, thus jeopardizing human life. Following this tieory he yesterday sen- tenced Joseph Mahi to serve six months in the State Prison at Folsom for burglar- izing the warehouse of the Pacific Mail Sadie Mayhew, Elsie Kenealy, Edith Ken'- | ficld, Lizzie Fromm, Tillie Chandler, Nannie Cora Bailey, Katie Weil, rence | ephine Wilson, Addie Bartlett, ton, Edith McCrosson, Captain G. in | SHE MADE THEM ~ PERFORM PENANCE | Lillian Ashley’s Audience Suffers From Ennui They Listen for Nearly Three Hours to “a Host of Volunteers.” | S m: Livirg Pictures of What Was and What May Yet Be in the Near Future. The bandful of people—principally men—who went to the Auditorium last night to see Emma Ashley’s sensational tableaus paid dearly for the privilege. It was not in coin of the realm that they paid so much as in three dreary hours of waiting for the fair Emma’s living pic- | tures, during which Carrie Ciarke Ward and a company described on the bills as “A nost of volunteers” waded through | the four acts of *‘Kittie 0’Connor.” When people act as ‘“‘volunteers” it is | usual to treat their efforts tenderly—"1lift | them with care,” so to speak—as if they were fragile glass or china, so on that ac. count 1t is better to draw a veil over the efforts of the *‘volunteers.” They meant well, and some of them knew their lives. Miss Kate McCarthy danced prettily, and her patpable youth made her seem like an | oasis in a desert. Carrie Clarke Ward’s impersonation of Kittie O'Connor is fairly known to the older generation of California and little Cne of the Fifty Capital-Prize Tickets in the Original Little Beneficencia Publica Company Declared to Be a Counterfeit and on Which Payment Was Refused Yesterday. T molested by the police, will be oblized to | resort to honest labor, or to live on the | interest of the money which they have | plucked from their gullible victims. Early yesterday morning, as soon as the >ffice was opened, a man entered the lot- | tery shop of Henry S. Cabn & Co., room | 317 of the Safe Deposit and Trust Com- | pany’s building at 328 Montgomery street, | and presented ticket No. 12613 of the| Original Little Beneficencia Publica Com- | pany of San Francisco, which number was advertised as having won $3750. The drawing took place in the City of Mexico last Thursday in the Beneficencia Publica Lotter The Little Lottery of | San Francisco prints 1ts own tickets and advertises to pay prizes on the result of the drawings in the Mexican lottery. | The “lucky” holder of the ticket, who | bad sat up all night speculating with his wife as to what they were going to do with the §3750 when they got if, took the *“'pre- | cious” ticket carefully out of his pocket and laid it on the counter. The affable | cashier of the lottery company remarked : ““That’s counterfeit.” The next moment he stamped across | the back of the ticket with a red rubber stamp the word, “Counterfeit.” | The poor fellow. who seemed to be a | hard-working mechanic and who had | bought the ticket in good faith, ventured toask why was it counterfeit, and the af- | fable cashier explained that the paper | wasn't good enough; the ink wasn’t black | enough; the private number in the lert- | hand end was uot correct_and thetthe | watermark was missing. While he was | speaking two more men came up, each with a ticket bearing the same winning | number, ana these were also stamped “‘counterfeit.” A CaLrreporter asked the cashier why was that so many winning tickets were tioat, all of them having been purchased 25 cents each by the unsuspecting vic- ms. The cashier replied that already fifty “counterfeit” lottery tickets bearing the number 12,613 nad een presented, and he Jiad no doubt that many more would be brought in during the day. But the fact that so many “‘counterfeit’ tickets were afloat did not seem to di tress him a bit. On the contrary, he seemned to take pleasure in_ relating that ziter the drawing of May 8 of this year | the lottery firm of Metzger & Franklin were presented with 500 Little Louisiana lottery tickets, each bearing the number s 13, which won the capital prize of 3750, The most extraordinary thing about these aamissions 1s tha many counter- feit tickets of the winning number should have been printed. The cashier said that the counterfeiter was in the habitof print- ing 3 large quantity of tickets with the same number on each in order to save trouble and expense in the printing. If this statement be true the chances for the counterfeit tickets to fit the winning num- ber of the capital prize are 1mmeasurably small. Yet within the space of nineteen days the counterfeiter has succeeded in guessing the number of the capital prizes in two drawings. There appears to be | more of method than madness in this ex- | traordinary run of luck in a range of so few numbers as are indicated by the state- ment of the cashier, who do+s not seem to | be breaking his heart over the existence of | the counterfei:ers. 1 He said that the genuine 12813 was sold | to an agent in San Diego, and that when | it shall arrive here ihe difference between it and the ‘“‘counterfeit’” will be apparent | to the most verdant sucker. | e | BRIGADE ANNIVERSARY, | | The Young People of Howard-Street Church Give an Entertainment. The fifth anniversary of Company F, | Filth Regiment of the Boys’ Brizade of California, connected with the Howard. | street M. E. Church, was observed Friday | night at the church in a very fitting way. The edifice was tastily decorated with | American flags and banners and lit with | transparencies. There was music in | abundance, addresses, fancy drill, dumb. | bell and other entertainment. The pro- | gramme was as foliows: | Prayer, Rev. W. W.

MRTISTS ARE AT WORK Good Portraits Recently Painted by Messrs. Yates and Strong. Monterecy Twilight Eff cts Trans- ferred to Cinvas by Charles Ro'lo Petrrs. Charles Rollo Peters came up from Monterey yesterdav and will loiter in San Francisco several days. Daring the past year he has painted beach scenes at Mon- terey and twilight effects. He sent sev- eral pictures to London, where purchasers | were found. Joseph D. Strong has just finished portraits of Mr. and Mrs. Clift of Oakland. 1t is remarked among ariists that Strong is doing excellent work. A portrait of Robert Louis Stevenson painted for the Bohemian Club is highly praised as a work of exceptional merit. There is on exhibition at Vickery’s a pastel by Strong. The subject is Miss D. Cool, daughter of Dr. Cool. The picture is greatly admired. Fred Yates' portrait ot C. E. Hunting- ton is at Vickery’'s. The picture of the firm and rugged railroad man 1s true to life. Yates did some meritorius work in painting General L. H. Foote, William Greer iarrison, Irving M. Scoit, Henry Marshall and General Barnes, but the Huntington picture represents his best | work in this country. | Lizzie Strong recently went from Mon- terey to Fresno and is dving some work in painting animals and making landscape sketches, Henry Raschen is painting fishes for the United States Government and look- ing after the interests of the art depart- ment of the next Mechanics' Institute fair.

Philharmonic Society to Give “Travi- ata’ To-Night. The Italian Philharmonic Society will produce at the Baldwin Theater this evening Verdi's opera of “Traviata.” This organization has scored many suc- cesses in the past, but this may well be classed its most ambitious effort. The opera will be cast with Ida Valerga, F. Valerza, G. Zapelli, D. Valerza, C. Viti- lini, Adele Boldocchi, T. Valerga and E. Merani in the leading roles. F. Valerga will on this occasion make his first appearance in this City. Ie has won most favorable criticism abroad and is said 10 be especially happy in his inter- pretaation of the t2nor role of Alfredo in | “Traviata.” Violetta will be taken by Ida Valerga, whose dramatic and vocal ability promise much.. The opera will be well staged, for not one detail has peen neglected to make a brilliant ensemble. The large orchestra will be under the direcrion of A. Spadina. There has been a large sale of seats. - Over 400 diamonds are known to have been recoverea irom the ruins of Baby: lon. Many aie uncut, but most are pol- drill by fourteen members of Company iF, ished on one or two sides. [ more need be said of it, except that last | night was “too latea day” for her to play | such a part. Emma Ashley appeared in “ Kittie 0’Connor” as the haughty Dorothy Kava- nagh. Miss Ashley veiled her identity, however, under the nom de guerre of “Miss Lucilie Ulmer Thorndike,” and & great many people did not know that the star performer of the eveningz was before them when the massive Miss Ashley sailed in with a baughty degage walk, which was meant to express pride and loftiness of spirit. If Miss Ashley ever strikes out a new path to fame for her- self on the stage it will be with that walk—it is as original and surprise-inspir- fng as Cissy’s wink, but it not so likely to | appeal to the chappies. Emma Ashley was letter perfect, though | bevond the haughty walk and the con- !sumplion of six cups of tea she had not a very arduous roie to perform. After the first act Dorothy Kavanagh drops out | of the play, and in dull, patient resigna- | tion the anaience settled down to endure ;xhe rest, cheered by the prospect of the | living pictures to come. | About 11 o'clock ‘“Kitgie O’Connor” ’clme to an end, the band played severai | choice selections and then a portion of | the drop at the back of the stage became transparent and tableau No. 1, “Devo- tion,” was revealed. It represented “Lucky'’ Baldwin, somewhat younger and fairer than in rea! life, kneeling in an at- titude of polite devotion at the feet of Emma Ashley, who coyly extended a lily- white hand, which “Lucky” pbent forward to kiss. There was nothing Don Juan like about this picture; it rather suggested an animated woodcut from that pleasing little manual, **The Complete Etiquetce o: Couriship.”’ The next picture, entitled “Not One Cent,” showed “Lucky,” a little more life- like than in number 1, sternly repulsing the child aod Emma Ashley, both ol whom - knelt pitifally to him, clothed in rags. In the third tableau, ‘‘She Shall | Inherit My Millions,” “Lucky” had un- dergone a chanee of heart; he was holding out money to the child and Miss Asbley, who were both resplendent in smiles and fine apparel. This picture was frantically applauded. The last scene of all, which ends this | strange, eventiul history was called “The | Stage.”” “I am only Iza Clemenceau | now.” Miss Ashley appeared in a cos- | tume somewhat resembling that of the | Venus de Milo, but truth compels one to add that the resemblance ended there. BOGOS BRANDY. | Wine-Makers’ | Itself on the Subject. | The following resolution was unani- | mously_ passed by the board of diretors | of the California Wine-makers’ Corpora- tion at their meeting held on Friday, May 28 last: Corporation Expresses | WaEREAs, A large quantity of bogus brandy | was recently shipped from this City to Lon- | don which was originaliy marked “California | Pure Grape Brandy,” but in reality contained | only about 10 per cont of California grape brandy, the balance being composed of corn spirits from Nebraska, water, glucose and other compounds; and, WHEREAS, 1f such bogus compounds are per- mitted to be sent throughout the world and s0ld as California brandy, it is certain to ruin not oniy our brandy industry, but the wine and other industries of Calitornia alike; there- fore be it Jesolved, That we unqualifiedly condemn the adulteration and sophistication of brandy or wine in this State.

It Will Not Have to Pay Any Propor- tion of Tulare’s Bonded Debt. A case of some im portance, bearing npon the relations sustained by the parts of a divided county to each other, was decided by the Supreme Court yesterday. It in- volved the controversy between Tulare and Kings counties, and the decision of the lower court was affirmed. The action was one brought by Tulare County against Kings to enforce a claim fora proportion of the bondea debt of plaintiff. By an act ot the Legislatare of 1893 Kings County was created out of Tu- lare. At that time there wasan indebted- ness of $22,000 in courthouse bonds and $5000 in road bonds. Tulare presented a claim for $5049 61, as the proportionate share of Kingsin these bonds, * The Supervisors of the latter re- fused to audit the demands, whereupon suit was broughr, resulting in favor of the aew county, The Supreme Court affirms this judgment, remarking that while sec- tion 3 of article XI of the constituti provides thata new county shall pay its proportionate share of the bonded indebt- edness of the old county, it does not pro- v.de the machinery for the collection of that assessment. The act of 1893 creating Kings County aid not provide a way to collect the same, nor is the intention of the Legislature shown to be that there should be any col- lection levied on Rings Lounty. The court remarks that the courthouse for which the bonds were issued remains in Tulare County, and there is no evidence to show that any money of the road bonds was ever spent in Kings County. — - —————— YESTERDAY'S INSOLVENCIES. Bankrupts Who Have Confessed Their Financial Difficulties. ‘Three business men filed their confes- sions of failure in the County Clerk’s oflice yesterday. Frank H. Fowler and Guilford H. Lewis, merchant tailors, say they are unable to pay their debts. They owe $780 59 and have assets nominally worth $1503 15. These are composed of §143 65 bills col- lectible and a note by Dr. C. H. Walker for $1354 50. Fowler has individual aebts amounuag to $116 50. P Whltiam T. Cottier, a dealer in ventila- tors, is also bankrupt. His liabilities ex- tend over a large area, the princival cred- itor being his divorced wife, Emily M. Cottier, who holds a claim o1 $1550 against bim for unpaid alimony. Dr. H. 8. Orme of Los Angeles trusted him $150 for medical services; Mrs. M. A. McKennéy, Central City, iowa, $250 for nursing and borrowed money; William Cronan and 8. E. Coffman, $100 each for money advanced in divorce litigation. Cottier has no available assets. e Determined to Die. Early this morning one of the clerks of the Ahlborn House detected the odor ot gas on the third floor, and found that the suffocating flnid came from the room of A. Rauer, a blacksmith. The door was forced open anda Rauer was discovered hanging by the neck and uncon- scious. He was cut down and sent to the Re- ceiving Hospital. The rash man had made a desperate at- tempt at suicide. He had cut his throat, siashed his wrists, turned on the gas and nanged himself with a small piece of rope. He was not expected to live at \ast accounts. .- Jordan and the Socialists.

The Presidio National C metery Will Be the Scene of Appropriate Ceremoies Decoration day, 1897, will become a his- toric date in the archives of the Pacific Coast garrisons of the Republican Army and Navy Union. On that date the united garrisons will unveil and dedicate a beau- tiful monument to the memory of their departed comrades. The idea of erecting a monument was first started in 1894, when Garrisons Nos. 100, 101 and 114 gave a general military tournament. The parti taking we a conspicuous in this under- G al William M. Grabam and Colonel S. P. M. Young, United States army, and Henry J. Crocker, also Ser- geants B. Follinsby and Young of Light Batiery F and First Serceant E. P. Grimes of Batiery B, Fifth Artillery. s The tonrnament proved a financial suc- cess, as the sum of $1300 was raised, in- cluding $1000 donated by the Hon. H. J. Crocker. About last July a committes of which Yost Commander I. Fitzgerald was chair- man, was appointed for the purpose of raising subscriptions, and through their efforts and the gencrosity of the citizens of the City of San Francisco and by dona- tions of the various garrisons on the Pa- cific Coast, sufficient funds were raised to meet the entire expenses of the beautiful monument. This monument is cast of white bronze, and was built through the agency of James Linforth by the Monumental Bronze Company of Bridgeport, Conn. The design of this beautiful monument is original and cannot be duplicated in the United States. The base of this monu- ment is 7 feet square and it stands 18 feet in heigbt. The dedicatory services will be held at the Presidio National Cemetery to-mor- row. The order of exercises will be as follows: Opening prayer by the Rev. . Macomber, chaplain, United States army.

DURRANT'S CASE NEARS THE END The Colorado Crank Writes Another Letter to Mrs. Martin. Rev. J. George Gibson Wonders_ What Mrs. John Will Say About Him, The Prisoner Is Curtailed of Som: Liberties—The Goyernor Will Decide by To-Morrow. Rev. J. George Gibson and Secretary Lynch passed a quiet day yesterday, issu- ing no bulletins, admitting no cranks and reading no anonymous letters. Their | chief worry was, 80 they said, concerning | the things that may yet be said deroga- tory to Mr. Gibson. | Secretary Lynch had heard reports that Mrs. John Martin intends to lampoon the pastor in straight Anglo-Saxon at ber Metropolitan Temple lecture on Friday night. He said he hoped that the lady's language would be temperate, as he de- sired no trouble, which would certainly occur should the speaker utter slanders. | Mrs. Martin is busy; on her lectare ior Friday night and is hopeful that she will | yet save Durrant’s life. She received an- other letter from W. F. Bryan, the Colo- rado cravk, yesterday. It 1s dated May 25, and runs in part as follows: Dear Madam: Send me a P. 0. money order at ouce and I wiil be in San Francisco in time to treat with you and others in this matter. 1i you've not confidence to do this much, see Miss Hester Hicks or Miss Henrietta Rigsby, for I cannot get to San _Francisco, 1 am suré | the police will not send for me.

THOSE EXPLOSIVE MATOHES, | Miss McQuaide, the Teacher, Gives Her Version of tho Affair. Miss Catherine G. McQuaide, the teacher of the eighth grade in the Washington Grammar Night School, on Mason and Washington streets, and Miss Nolan, the principal, are endeavoring to ascertain who among the pupils placed the bLeads of parlor matches on the classroom floor last Thursday. While the offense of it- self was not and is not regarded as being very serious still it was a decided breach of discipline that it will not do to tolerate. Miss McQuade’s pupils are good-sized youngsters—in fact, almost men—their ages being from 17 to 19. In ber eight years’ experience as a teacher in that night school that was the first annoyance she had ever had. 1In speaking of the oc- currence the lady said: “It was not so very serious. Some of the boys threw or dropped some explosive parlor matches on the floor and wnen the heads were stepped upon the matches made explosions. I had one boy gather up all that could be found, and then I questioned the class, but none wouid ac- knowledge having committed the offense. There are a large number of pupils in the room who I know had nothing to do with the matches, but there ara about fourteen on the susiected list. “I gave these boys until next Tuesday to talk the matter over amoog themselves, and have the culprit come forward so as to exonerate the others who are under suspicion.
