It was customary to keep the family records in a wardrobe in the hall, the keys to which wers possessed by herself and Mrs. Pleasant. Some days ago she de- clared this wardrobe had been ransacked and when pressed to the point she said she young Bell was the guiity | party. wus plain Attorney Schooler was not of this opinion by the peculiar questions he asked concerning Mrs. Pleas. ant’s connection with these books. Mrs, | Bell said that since her husband’s death she bad no idea of how much money she | had received irom the estate, but thought | that it mieht be somewhere hetween $30,000 and $40,000. Miss Marie Bell was next called to throw some light on the missing books, | but she was a poor witness. She knew | nothing of the missing records, although slie was Mammy Pleasant’s assistant in | making up the household aecounis. At- torney Schooler then asked for a search varrant and Judge Coffey promised to is- sue it this morning as soon as the proper | affidavit had been presented. Fred Bell in the early hours of the ses- sion related over again the history of his ranching enterprise in Soncma County. He sail that the stock and outfit had been furnished him by Mrs. Pleasant without his mother's knowledge. On his nineteenth birthday the negro woman bh:d made him a present of a thousand- dollar diamond ring, which she told him | she had taken from his mother’s jewels. | **Don’t wear it around in front of Mrs. | Bell, becanse she might recogniza it,'" was the admonition of the negress. “I'il tell her that a friend of yours made you a present of the ring, if ihe worst comes to | the worst.” The ring subsequently found its way into the possession of a *‘friend” for a loan and is there still. Bell, continuing, declared that his mother had nothing to | do with the management of the house- | hold or her children; in fact, they had little respect for her atail. They would | call her “‘mother’ to her face and refer to | ner as Mrs. Bell or “the old fool” among themselves. 4 Tnoe case goes on this afternoon. i | | | ing newspaper. HE HAS SHED A5 WINKERS The Missing Kasson Pulled Out Offending Eye- lashes, They Were White and Made . His Identification Easy, Once Befor: They Blighted His Pros- pects and He Is Taking No Chances. Sheriff Whelan’s corps of deputies con- tinued their search all day yesterday for the elusive Kasson -who unkindly ad- journed his session at the County Jail sine die, but the wily journalist's ways lay not in the paths of the pursuersand the walls of the county keep knew him not. Kasson is no novice at the art of evasion and the expensive lessons of the vast have taught him tricks which the Sheriff's officers will have to trump before they can do all the desperate things which they | have decided upon as Kasson’s lot when be is captured. One of these tricks was to get rid of an inconvenient physical defect which once caused the capture of this man, who aspires to eat bread and an oc- casionai cut of pie in the sweat ot other people’s brows. The wisdom of that move will appear. Kasson, chic and debonair after the manner of his kind, appeared in San Jose during the campaign of '92 with an in- definite amount of capital and a perfectly apparent equipment of gall and an- nounced his intention of starting 8 morn- The political situation of the city at that time resembled a crazy patchwork, and the smooth man from the Eust had no difficalty in finding a faction which needed an organ. The paper, known as the Argus, was duly launched with a long-felt want salutatory and other essential adjuncts. Other journals in the already overworked field took not kindly to the interloper, and one of them, in a facetious local, reterred to the man who had come to town with a small-sized sack, a silk hat and a choice assortment of variegated eyelashes. It was the reference to the eyelashes to which Kasson took exception, for in the generally black fringe of one optic was a tuft of snow-white hair, wnich gave him an uncanny appearance and made him strikingly noticeuble. Kasson’s prolonged indignation at the reference to his freak blinkers struck his | employes as peculiar, but they had not long to wait tor an expianation. On the eighth day of the Argus’ adventinte San Jose’s journalistic fields the local police received a messaze from Id#ho offici arrest W. F. Kasson for forgerv. When the Idabo officers arrived a few days later they explained that they had seen the ac- count o the Ban Jose editor with the white eyelashes, and it was by that mark they recognized their man. During the whilom journalist’s incar- ceration at the County the attend- ants noticed that bis eyelashes were strik- ingly sparse. The lids of cne eye were slightly inflamed about the edges. But there were no telitale white bairs. Kas- son may make some bad break that will betray his whereabouts to his pursuers, but it is not likely he will again miss lib- erty by an eyelash.

Mr. ‘Ha-Ha Du Souchet—on the play- bills it reads merely “*Mr. H. A. Du Sou- chet,” but the audience at the Baldwin last night found no trouble in spelling it out in full—has written a very ha-ba little farce, which is called My Friend From In ” 1 am forced to confess that this little farce, which was pre- sented by a snug little band of experts, has but one redeeming feature— it makes you laugh. There is nothing else to be said inits favor, and none but persons who are willing to give uptwo bours and a half of precious after-dinner time to ha-haing over three acts of incon- sequential absurdity should assist in fill- ing the Baldwin Tbeater as it was filled last nignt. If I myself had not laughed at all this— at the funny situations, at the good jokes, at the bal ones—I should be in ritter hunior now for a cold-blooded considera- tion of Mr. Du Souchet's right to assail the great institution of comic play writ- ing. Mr. Du Souchet, when he is work- ing, is_a telegraph operator for the New York Tribune and it is a grave point if telegraph operators shouid be granted a privilege that is denied the makers and breakers of the drama, the critics. Ican imagine the feelings of William Winter, the soutiu! critic of the Tribune, wuen he awakened and found | Du Souchet famous. Mr. Winter knows everything about playwriting except the Morse system. Mr. du Souchet’s farce 1s simplicity it- self. instead of building it around a funeral or a pesthouse, as Mr. Hoyt has builded, oraround a betrayed husbana, as Mr. Thomas has done, he has taken one of the fundamental personages of the American gag—the barber—and made Lim the central butt of three acts of good- natured scrambie and misidentity. This barber, very properly, is not seen in the practice of his crafi. Waking up one morning the barber finds himselt in the household of a family of the name of Underhoit—good Kansas people bent on forcing an entrance into New York so- ciety —and, at the instigation of the dissipated soun, assumes to be a Theosophist from India. Theosophy, it nferred, is a thriving fad in meiro- politan society, and in the barber the Undernolts think they find their open sesame. The barber James Tweeale, who turns up to claim it of course. By the same good old logic which reasons that two pigs under a gate will mase more noise ihan one, Mr. du Souchet discovers that three Revs. James Tweedles will make more fun than one; he masquerades young Underholt and his chum in Tweedles' garb and confronts them with the original. Meanwhile the barber has got himself up in imitation of the leading female comedy person and there is fun to spare. This last is truly the suprame instant of the piece. Bebind a mirrorless mirror frame stands the theosophic barber in feminine clohes, before it comes the | woman. They are dressed alike to the last hatpin. He follows her every move- ment and the iliusion is tremendous. The company tits the pisce. John F. Ward especially is convulsing in the part of the barber, and Frederick Bond infuses large geniality into Underholt pere, Miss Helen Reimer 1s the felicitous victim of the mirror ruse. There are several good- looking young women who wear wonder- | ful gowns and voice their | nes steamfuilv, ASHTON STEVENS. Columbia Theater. “Sue,”” by Bret Harte and T. Edgar Pember- ton, was presented for the first time in this city last night by the Frawley Company at the Columbia to a large audience. It isan en- taining rustic drama, and Blanche Bates won the andience with her charming impersona- tion of the titie role. Frank Worthing as Ira Beasley did his cus- tomary good work and Harry Corson Clarke as Judge Lynch kept the audienee constantly amused. Francis Carlyle made a most acceptable vil- lain. The rest of the company was as usual upto the mark of good acting and earned much merited applause. The orchestra introduced a medley waltz written by Harry Corson Clarke. The piece introduced all of the popular airs of the day. This play will continue on the boards until next Friday evening, whea the *“Railrdad of Love” will be presen ted. Grand Opera-House. James O'Neil’s old standby, *“Monte Cristo,” served to introduce William H. Pascoe, Mo- rosco’s new leading man, to the patrons of the popular south-side theater. As Edmond Dantes, Mr. Pascve appeared 10 good advant- | age, and, although he seemed to have some trouble in remembering bis lines at first, toward the end he gave a better and smoother performance. Mort.mer Snow #s Nortier was given one of the very few opportunities he has 10 show that hecan rise above the common- lace lackadnisical lover and act. Maud Eana Hall reappeared as Mercedes alter her recent iilness and was given a warm reception by her mauy friends. Julia Blanc as the hag Caderouse added another clever bit of character roles to her already long iist of excellent im personations. Tivoll Opera-House. “Rigoletto” was sung at the Tivoll last night | for the first time this season and was warmly | received. Like all the operas at the Tivoli | it was splendidly mounted and given a careful interpretation by the company. Mertensap- | peare {as the unfortunate jesterand Michelena | &« the Duke of Muntua Both were in e cellent voice, and with the rest of the com- pany gave an entirely satisfactory rendering of Verdi’s tuneful opera. To-night “Il Trova- tore’”” will be given with Michelens, Eftie Stewart, Katherine Fleming Hinrichs aud Signor Viviani in the cast. At the Orpheum. This week there are two new turns that are really new at the Orpheum and sensationally successful. O'Brien & Hurel are one of the treats of the year in their little act, “‘The Newsboy's Courtship,” and the Adolphi Trio Two of tne Adoiphis make of themseives | human irapezes, w the other whirls and | turns between them. Frank Lawion does a tramp specialty entirely different from his work of lus week, and the little red band plays on. At the Chutes, Adgie and ner trained lions are more of a sensation at the Chutes’ Free Theater than on her last engagement. She has added several sensational features to her act. M; Mazett, the ‘‘tramp and the brakeman”; Mile, Lira, a stereopticon daucer; Miss May 1uni- son, soprano, and the Chuteoscope are some of the atiractions at the Hai:ht-street grounds. Matinees are given every day. —————— Fire in a Dwelling.

Rector Moreland’s sermon, the sub- stance of which was published in THE CaLL yesterday, has set the town to talk- | ing, and naturally it has aroused more or less criticism. On the other hand, there | are many who uphold the rector in his | views and not a few of these are clergy- men, but they do not care to make public | avowals to that effect. The clergymen who were interviewed yesterday admitted that Rector Moreland had spoken the truth plainly, but they did not care to di: cuss the matter without first giving it most careful consideration. “It is a very delicate subject,” said one winister, *and vefore I can give my views Jokokodd ok {for publication I must collect my ( thoughts.

I sought to point out the evils that menace the families of our land—evils which have their origin in the laws of society. These laws are at open defiance with nature’s laws, and naturally there 1s danger in the conflict. In society, constructed as it is at present, marriage has become a 1ere barter, and motherhood a sort of mockery. Marriage with many is no longer asacred covenant, but a temporary rela- tionship of the sexes which may be dis- solved at will in a divorce court.

A few drops of alcohol on a hot stove was the start of a fire scare in the curio store of Nathan Josephs & Co. at 641 Clay street last evening, and for a minute it looked as 1f one of the most remarkable collections of freaks in the city would be destroyed. The flames from the explod- ing alcohol caught a pile of newspapers, and almost immediately the room was filled with a denge smoke. Those who were in the store succeeded in smothering the fire before any damage was done, but the dense volumes of smoke which poureu out of the door attracied such a crowd that police protection was hecessary to prevent, the abstraction of some of the numerous curios with which the room is packed.
