HE ALWAYS CARRIED POISON \l‘he Man Who Committed Suicide in Berkeley Identified. His Father Said Wealthy Physician in Germany, to Be a He Has Been Despondent of Late and Often Threatened to End His Lifa. RKELEY, CaL, Oct. 1L.—An autopsy to-day over the supposed suicice found yesterday morning in th gum-tree #rcve back of North Berceley confirmed the belief that death haa resulted from prussic acid yoisoning. An inquest wilt be held by Deputy Coroner Streightif to-morrow evaning, Kassebaum, who keeps a saloon at Mission stree:, San Francisco, called he branch morgue this afternoon and entified the body as that of a man who Fhad ocousionaliy called at his saloon, giving the name of O.to Mann. He had told several trequenters of the saloon that he lived on Minna street, between Secona and Third, but had newer g.ven the num- ber of the house. He is a brass-worker by trade, and a year aro wa< foreman in the Thomas Dav Gas und Electric Company’s piant on Mission street. Of late he has been despondent and olten remarked, in a nali-jocular way that he could easily end his life. It is even said that at times he would produce a boitle of poison, which he always carried with him, and remark that there was no use in a man’s struggling in the agonies of death “‘when a muuthful of this will vut him peacefully to sleep.” About 4 week ago he made inquiries re- garding the Berkeley hills and has not been seen in the saloon since then. The iocal authorities are not completely satisfied as to the man’s identity, as the initiais 0. T.

The man’s un- usual size attracted their attention, and they are almost positive that he is the man they saw. BENNETT 1S RESTLESS. Wants to Go to San Quentin So That His sentence Can Begin. OAKLAND, CaL., Oct. 1.—C. R. Ben- nett is anxious to get to San Quentin, He cnafes st the delay of the Supreme Court, which may not band down the re- mitittur in his case for thirty days. Ben. nett bas been in jail considera over a year waiting a decision of his appeal, and now that it bas been decided against him he is anxious for his one year's sentence San Quentin to begin. At the County Jai! there is much regret essed that Bennett is to leave. He is among the cldest of the inmates there, and has taken a prominent part in the re- ligious work of thie jail. He has scted as amanuensis and adv.ser for scores of pris- oners and tn are sorry that he has to leave. At San Quentin he will make & request to be permitted to see Benjumin Hill, the wife-murderer, who is now in the con- demned cetl nett was largely instrumenial in hringing about the conversion of Hill, and the two men Lave kept up a corre:pondence since Hill was sent across. Had Benneit not appealed he would have been a free man several months ago, for with the credits which he would un- doubtedly have earned, his sentence will only Le for about nine months. ———— Alameda Notes.

Dr. Hallock, at the Monday meet- ing of the Coagregational Ministers’ Union, discussed tie recent meeting of the State Association, which was held at Santa Cruz last week. He spoke of Pro- fessor Lioyd in the most glowmng terms, but crit.c zed the selection of one so young as Rev. E. D. Hale to act s mocerator, and raised the question of whether it would not have been better 10 have given it to a more elderly man. He also said that ke thought that the work of the busi- ness committee should have been done in the rooms where the association met, Their being outside caused a loss of time | and a great deal of inconvenience.

The Bell case was reopened in Judge Coffey’s court yesterday afternoon, the time being spent in inquiries regarding the real value of the assats of the estate and tbe poss:b.lities of its ever being set- tled. George Staacke, one cof the executors of the estate, took the stand, and for t' ree hours waded through a most appalling array of tigures. The first to be brought up was the Bellevue Agricultural and De- velopment Company. The which the late Mr. Bell ow by p ed 5%0, and shares had also come iuto the possession of the owned by Mr. Maxwel Bell estate, althouzh they have never been transferred oun the books of the com- pany. What is the present stock,”” asked Mr. Schooler. ““Well, that wouid be very hard to de- termine.” said Mr. Staacke, *‘as the value of mining property fluctvates so much. At present, however, I think it would be almost impossible 1o get rid of itat any price. In fact we have been unable to se- cure purchasers for this proverty. The next item t:ken nnder considera- tion was the Standard Quicksilver Com- pany, in which the estate holds shares lued at $141,610. This stock also Mr. value of this ime, although he claimed it was the iull amount when the state- present worth t ment was made out in September, 1805, Mr. Schooler continued down list of figures, which etate has apparently dapreciated about $300,000, while the interest against it amounts to $150 per day. *Isn’t the estate really in a worse con- dition to-day than when you took hold of it three years ago?"’ asked Mr. ooler. *No; onlthe contrary, I think it nas al- most doubled in value.”’ This Mr. Schooler attempted to disprove by running over the names of a number of companies in which the estate was h2avi interestel, the majority of which, Mr, | Staacke admitied, were almost worthless just at present, but this mainly to the financial depression of the past few years, When asked why he had not attempted to settle the estate, Mr. Staacke replied that it would have been impossible 10 do so without sacrificing a great portion of i1, and ihis he did not think he would be justified in doing. 1f tne assetsnad been salable the estate would bave been settled long ago, but at present it would be iia- possibl- to raise §100,000 within sixty days without making a great sacrifice. It wa« also brought oul in the case that of the §1500 per month allowea Mrs. Bell for houseunold expenses, $1000 per month nhad been ased to pay up the premiums on certain claims waich she was anxious to keep. The case will be resumed at 2 o’clock to- day. MR, TOOHEY AND TEA, He Tried to Recall a Report That He Had Made to the Collector, a long showed that the His Judgment Reversed in Several COases by the General Board of Appraisers. The Treasury Department vesterday noiified Collector of the Port Jackson that the United States Board of General Ap- praisers in New York bad overruled the decision of Temporary Tea Inspector Too- hey that certain shipments of teas were velow the Government standard. The board found that the teas were up to the standard and that they should be allowed to be landed. The shippers of those teas were J. A. | Folger & Co., A. Schilling & Co. and Tili- mann & Bendel. A large quantity of teas imported by Chinese merchants was re- jected also by Mr. Toohey and his rejec- tion was sustained by the Board of Ap- praisers. There has been some talk concerning the peculiar action of Mr. Tooney with reference to teas 1mported by Echilling & Co. Mr. Toobey, after the usuai examina- tion of this lot of tea, made a report to the Collector that it was below the standard. He shortly afterward met Mr. Scniiling, and that gentieman convinced him that the t-as were ali right and that Mr. Too- hey bad made a mistake when he reportea adversely to the Collector. Then Mr. ‘Toohey went 10 the Collector and asked permission to withdraw his report and make a new one, but Mr. Jerome informed him that a report once filed could not be withdrawn. As the only way of correct- ing the blunaer of the tea examiner Mr. Schilling filed his protest with the General Board or Examiners in New York, and they decided that the tea was up to the standard and that Toohey was wrong. —————— The southwest wind is the most preva- lent in England.

Press Eldridge at the Orpheum All But Another Dock- stadter. Tivoli's “Bohemian Girl,” Alcazar's “Pink Dominoes” and Morosco's New Melodrama. Augustus Thomas has gone back to his own people in “The Hoosier Doctor,” to the people who live in “‘atmosphere’’ and speak in ‘dialect,” and subdue their melodramatic cravings for limelight and high climexes, and live liv:s that are eminently fit and respectable for any stage. This play renews admiration for n Mizzours,” pives us souvenirs «f “'Shore Acres” and quaint tokens of that type of comedy which Sol Smith Russell | loves 1o see nimself play. I am not fond of “Shore Acres,” with its tremendous kitchen realisr:, nor of the Sol Smith Russell type of play, which is of old clothes; but I confess to unflinching ad- miration tfor *‘In Mizzoura,” a play of i tegrity, humor and power. So at the Columoia last night whenever Hoosier Doctor” reminded me of “ln | Mizzoura” I was happy, when it reminded | me of other plays I wasless happy, and when it reminded me of nothing at all— which it occasionally did—I was bored. The play—which any moment I expect to hear a press agent proclaim as an *“idy! of Indiana’'—is one of manners and conversation rather than of emo- tions; the plot is fragile and flexible and the action suggested rather than exe- cuted. This last is an old art with Thomas and one in which he knows few superiors. The Doctor nfter whom the piecs is named I can describe no better that asa blend of Bol Smith Russell and Pudd’nhead Wilson—the humble, middle-aged hero of a hundred snubs and a thousand sacri- fices. He has the humor that saves situa- tions. When the melodrama begins to readen he jests dryly, and everything be- comes serene. When the father is becom- ing mandlin he turns it away with a smile. When nothing is doing he fills in the gap with genial remarks. He is the safety-vaive of the piece. Digby Bell, a reformed comic orera comedian, piays the star part of Dr. Wil- low. He is neither s Nat Goedwin nor a Frank Mayo, but when he is not over- emphasiz.ng the points of the play he re- minds you mildly of those artists. Miss Laura Joyce played the doctor's mother-in-law—a really new and hair-rais- ing version of this oid bogie of the drama— with deliberate conviction, renunciating the last semblance of whatever personal charm <he may possess in private lifa. Herman Hirscuberg, in the role of a subordinate suitor, was conspicuous for a dozzling exposure of teeth and a normal and Miss Mabel Strickiand played the Indiana ingenue in what I | should say was the real gumdrop spirit of hoosier drama. The others were more in- dustrious than bnlliant, *‘The Hoo-ler Doctor” is not Augustus Thomas at his besi, but it has humor of the guiet kind and may assist you to for zet that the author of “In Mizzoura” was recently the author of a very pink prob- lem play. ASHTON STEVENS. The Orpneum. Press Eldridge, officially known as the com- mander-in-chief of the army of fun, isinduc- ing jaughter at the Orpheum ‘such as has not been heard since the memorable engagemen of Lew Dockstader. Eldridge does not court comparison with Docks'ader by imitation; thair methods are entirely apart,and any analogy lies in the fact that voth are black- faced monologuists and both notably clever. dridge is strenuously comic. He jokes with a vitality that 1s overwhelming; he sings with & voice that might have done bigger things in the dark days when vocalism popu- | larly ranked above vaudeville, and he has mo- ments of semi-Wagnerian pause wherein he talks confidentially of the secr-ts of his oraft in satire that is delightful. Very few of his {.okes and but one of bis songs have preceded im. Everything else is up to the minute, and the audience last night demanded something overa half hour of the commander’s time, A good equilibristand & 1ot so good song- and-dance man are the other additions to | what is retained of last week’s bill. The A czzar. “Pink Dominces” was the comedy at the Alcazar las: night, but weil done as it was, the production paled beside a clever little turn done oy & clever little chap named Jimmie Horne. Made up asjLew Dockstadsr, he sings one of that comedian’s best coon songs, “It Aln’t No Lie.”” The jolly minstrel yould have enjoyed {t hugely could he have been there. Indeed, the imitation was so good 88 1o suggest coaching by Dockstader himself. Another clever little one who is styled on the programme “Baby Ruth’’ sang a pretty 11t tle diity ebout & “‘yaller” coon baby, and did some very pretty and graceful dancing, Wright Huntington appeared as Charles Greytnorne, a light comedy part which fitted him like a glove. Frank Clayton aroused him- self and gavs a very good impersonation of the husband who acted as his own father confe: sor.

Next week the long-expected “Geisha’ will be given an elaborate production. At the Grand. “The White Squadron,” with its scenic effects and strong patriotic situations, cap- tured the warm appreciation of an overflow- | Ing audience last night. When the third act was reached, with the review of the naval squadrons, the enthusissm frequently found vent in loud applause. Pascoe was tne American commander. Fred Butler was effective as Santos, a slave in the power of the lyrunt. The piece is splendidly staged and the characters all @il cast.

PRISON-MADE GRAIN BAGS. The Blue-Taread Mark May Cause Trouble in England. At the meeting of the Prson Directors last Saturday Warden W. E. Hale recom- mended that hereaiter no distinguishing msrk be put in the grain bags made by the convicts. The reason for this was that the British Parliament recentiy passed a law forbid¢inz the importation | of goods or wares of anv kind made by | convicts. Thislaw was ¢ neidered by the Warden as likely to iuierfere with the trade of this State, for a large quantity ot the grain sent from this State to thatcoun- try is shipped in beags mnade by the con- victs at San Quenun, He thought that by removing the mark—the blue thread— tbat distinguishes the bag made by the convicts from those made by free labor the British authorities wouid not be so likely to make a fuss over the violation of the law. Permission was given him to leave out the telitale thread; but whether this wiil have the aesired effect remains to Le seen, for the Engiish customs authorities are not among the most stupid of officials in the world. If the grain bags made by the convicts of this Stste and filled with Cali- fornia grain are r fused entry in the Eng- lish ports there is likely to be no end of trouble for the shipjers of this coast. Either the grain will be dumped out and tillea into other bags, the convict-made gocd+ being refused entry, or the whole consignment will Le resacked before the sbipments are alloved (o be put ashore, British Consul-General Warburton e | that be has written 10 the Home Office asking if the act will app'y strictly to bags in which grain had been placed before the notice of its passage had been received here, but he has not received an answer as yet. SUIQIDE ENDS PLEASURE. A. Reno Takes His Life After Several Days of Sport. Rano, a farmhand, 23 years of age, who resided in Bakersfield, committed suicide in the Lick House at an early | hour this morning by shooting himse!fin the right temple. Reno arrived from Bakersfield a few days ago and took a room in the hotel where he ended his life. Immediately after his arrival he started out to see the city and got to drinking. Last night he entered a Grant-avenue sa'oon and, walkinz up to two youneg men whom he apparently knew, told them that he had determined to kill himself. He left them and went to the hotel. Shortly after he entered his room the two young men entered the hotel and told the clerk that Reno had threatened sui- cide. The cierk knocked at the suicide's door and he quickly responded. The clerk asked him if he had any thoughts of suicide and as he smilingly answered in the nega.ive he was not dis- turbed. About haif an hour later the sound of a shot rang out through the halls of the building and clerks and por- ters hurried to Reno's rocom. He was found in a pool of blood dead. The Coro- ner’s cffice was notified ana the body was removed to the Morgue. ————— DEATH OF EMIL F. KENORRE. Bartender at tbe Hibernia Brewery Succumbs to Heart Failure. Emil F.
