Nothing could have been more delight- fully unostentatious than the song recital of Mr. and Mrs. Georg Henschel at the Cahfornia Theater last night. It issome- | times a pleasure to be entertainsd by per- sons who are not ponderously great, { and the Henschels, I should imagine, have largely acquired and had thrust npou them the rext best thing to greatness by the very modesty of theirart. They are artists in miniature,artists who have developed boudoir musical talents | to a point of delicacy and distinction that | is simply pbenomenal. They rob the con- | | cert staze of that pompous gloom, which, | perbaps more than anyt ing else, stands between it anl a popuiarity such asis given to the tneater. The most laic Iistener in the California last night could not but have taksn comfort from the fra- grant atmosphere that surrounded these | artists in their work. Neither Mr. Henschel nor Mrs. Hen- schel is gifted with a voice that can con- | quer by mere tone; in fact, there is notn- ing big nor enthrailing in their best notes, But they use their voices, singly and in ensemble, as precious instruments; they | sing with chasiened facility, and they do | not crowd nature’s limiis. One has the tranquil security of never thinking about where the Henschel limits lie, so discreet- Iy are they avoided, The p-ogramm> by itself was a con- Nearly every number was clas s.cally eminent without being c'a hackneyed. The old *“Pollie Wil Dr. Arne, Crocantino's song from “Claudine vou Viilabella,” the harem- keeper's song from “ll Seraglio,” the couplets de Vulcain of Gouncd’s *‘Philo- mon'’ and a duet by the all-but-forzot- | ten Paisiello—1h were bpractically | novelties for the local concert-goer. and | Henschel's own duet, “Gondoliera,” and his tender little “Malgra I'Eclat” were absolute novelties, so far as my experi- ence covers, and not unworthy of piace on the programme had the composer him- self not been present to make the inter- pretation doubly interesting. wiil spare the monotony of going down the musical bill piece by piece and | attempting to tell bow each was given. | To me there seemed to be an even excel- | lence in the sinzing. Perhap , if I had been thinking of voices, I should have pre- ferred Mrs. Hensche!'s to Mr. Heuschel's for in 1onal quality his is less sympa- | thetic aud speilbinding than hers, though | neitber is an especial carnival of ¢« lor. | Butit was the sheer music, faultlessly | accompanied, intoned, enuncinted and purased, that counted last night. There | was no superfluous glorification of pet | notes nor dispiay of shifty one<. It was impossible not to notice that Mrs. Hen- | sche’s middle register nas less easy than | the extremes of her voice, and that Mr | Hensciel’s admirable method was now | {and then taxed to polish a tone of wiry edze. | But on the whole, and there depends the fortune of a concert, it was a night of rare mu-ical entertainment. The composer got hisdue. I wish that actors might all i be as kind 1o the dramatist. | If any one thing is 10 be prai<ed above another let it be Mr. Henschel's accompa- niments. He piays an accompaniment on the pianoforie with refinement, tonal en. terprise and co-operstive plasticity such | as I have mever heard i ihe fi'ers of | any other man.

OaxLANE OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CAvr, 908 Broadway, O-t 26 !’ A delicate litile woman, Mrs. Dora Nel- son, called at tbe police office yesterday morning and swore to two charges of battery against a member of the notorious Bporting Life gang, Fred Kouler. Mrs. Nelson is the mother of a young child. She was returning to her home vrsterday when she met Fred Kohler and Frank Nolan. Nolan s known as the king of the zang. As they were passing the little woman Kohler addressed some were arrested, declined to swear agains them. She could not positively identify the men, and when the sentence of drunkenne-s is finished they will therefore be released. “This gang bas so intimidated West Oaxkland that many of the people are afraid to testify against them,” said Cap- tain of Police Wilson. *“They have been working for about six years und area gang of cowards. Tuney never do any- thing singly, but go »round together, and no on: knows how much crime they have committed. Mre. Nelson is unfortunately not possessed of strong sight, and could not positively swear to the men tails morning in the dock. Somehow or oth itdoes seem impossible to secure convi tions except in minor charges.” TOR ALASKA'S TRADE. Merchants to Compete Those of the North. The merchants of this city are making their frst move teward securing some of the Alas trade and ‘ravel that the peo- ple of the north have been reaching out for so persisently. In teattle, for in- stance, over $50,000 was raisec for the pur- pose of advertising that city as the best starting point for those who are : oing to Alaska and the Yukon gold fie ds next year. Other northern cities and the rail- roads and steamship lines are making similar bids for this trade and travel. A few days ago the merchants of San Francisco began to wake up to the fact that if thev do not take some progressive steps in the « me direction this city wiil lose thousands of dollars that wou!d, with a little enteryrise.come tnis way of its own accord. The Merenants’ Assocation sturted the ball in motion by authorizing the president to appoint a commitiee to t+ke the neces-ary sieps in the matter. Yesterday President Dourmann appointed Local With {the foillowing gentlemen 10 serve as such committee, naming, as he supposed, men who are thoroughly alive to the interest« invoived, and the first meetng of this il FRANK NO | M LAN, King of the Sporting Life Gang. insulting language toward her and after- ward struck ber and her son. Nolan made i1y to interfere when her husband came up to protect her. Officer McCloud met the woman running along with the chiid in ber arms, and shortly afierward he arrested Kohler and Nolan. When being searched a rezor was found on Nolax, and an additional charge of carrying a con- cealed weapon was placed against him. Within the past few months the Sport- ing Life gang nas taken on new life and become more desperate than ever. They voast of some mysierions pull, which cer- tainly exis's, for their recors of over six years shows that they have been able to defeat a mulititude of felonies and misde- meanors Three months ago four of the gang, in- ciuding Nolan, broke into the hou-e of Mrs, Aird and assaulted Mrs. zie James. They were all beld to answer in the Poiice Court on charzes of burszlary and assault, and since that time Nolan has irequently been arrested. His record is the longest of any on the prison docket. This afternoon a search o! the bLooks siowed that Frank Nolan was first arrested in June, 1891, when be was 19 years of age. At 1hattime he was drunk and for- feited his bail. His record since then is as follows: Eattery charges 7, drunkenness 16, | petty larceny 1, criminal assault 2, burglary 1, vulgar lunguage 3, mali- clous mischief 1, disturbing the peace 2, defaulting defendant 1, violating | ordinmace 1, assault with deadly weapon 1, vagraney 1. In the six years during which he has | been on the record, he has averaged one | charge every two menths, With the exception of a sentence imposed by Judge Wood two years agoof §100 or fifty days for habitual drunkenness, Frank No.an | zeems to lead a charmed life so far as con- | victions areconcerned. Thisis due in a kreat measure to the failure of witnesses | to bs on hand atthe proper time. The police claim that they wre intimidated, and this isborne out by the tact that at the present time Mrs, James and Mrs. Aird are detained in the city prison for witnesses in the burglary and assault cases so that they cannot be int:midated until the trials are held. This morning Nolan was sentenced 10 three days’ imprisoument for drunken- ness. Fred Kohler appears first on the record | on Chrisimas aay, 1894, when he wus 2 vears of age. According 10 custom, his | offense being drunkenness, judgment was | suspended. Since then he has been ar- rested on several occasions for battery, drunkenness, carrying concraled weavons, petty larceny, robbery and disturbing the prace. On most of these charges the cases against him have failed of convie- tion. Heis now charged with two cases of battery for his assault on Mrs. Neison and her boy. The gang has i's headquarters in West Oskiand, and its record of crime, includ- log several occasions on which policemen have been beaten almost to death, s tne blagkeu in Oukland’s criminal annals. Under the Daggett administration of the San Franc sco Mint some of its mem- bers, altbough their characters were well known, were given positions, but with the advent of Frank A. Leacu any one with Sporting Lile gang affilintions very quickly discovered that civil service rules aid not give him much protection.

Fatal Termination of a Feud That Grew Out of Police Court Difficulties. A. L. Knott was declared guilty of mur- i der in the first degree by a jury in Judge | Wall-ce's court yesterday for the killing of Joseph Knauer in this city on the 6tn of last July. As the jury omitted to fix the penalty st imprisonment for life the court will sentence the prisoner 10 be hanged by the neck until he is dead. Knott meintained a most stoical de- meanor throughout the trial, but when the vercict of the jury was announced he vroke down comp.etely and fell forward on his face in the dock, moaning and groaning in contemplation of the fate which Le seems to think confronts him. Probably he forgot for the moment that he bhas the usual opportunity of a con- demned murderer to appeal to the United Siates Supreme Court, and that thus he may join Durrant and the other star boarders at San Quentin sanitarium for an indefinite scjourn, For his defen-e Knott tried to establish an alibi, but the jary evidently did not place anv dependeice on his theory. Knott's attorneys contended that there was no motive for the kiliing of Knauer, bat Assistan® Attorney Biack proved tnat | the men had harbored a feud for a long time. It appeared that Knott caused the arrest of Knauer on a charge of sssault ana that Knauer was acquitted. Subse- quently Knauer complained of Knott, securing his conviction on the charge of battery and he was fined §5. There was ome testimony to show that Knott harbored enmity sgainst the dead man and several witnes-es testified po-i- tively that they saw him do the shooting that caused Knausr's death. Boon after the entry of the verdict Knott recovered his composure and was | taken 1o tbe City Prison to await the passing of sentence, which will be a week from next Friday. ———— FIRE IN THE MISSION, Blaze Originates in a Blacksmith-Shop and Causes $2500 Dumages.

A, Knowles Wanted to Square Up a Mortgage That Was Altered. The Supervisor Savs He Has Nothing to Fear From a Trial by a Jury. OAKLAND OFFicE SAN Francisco Canr,] 98 Broadway, Oct. 26. The Grand Jury returned an informa- tion this afternoon charging Supervisor Charies Roeth with wiliiul misconduct in office. The return is the result of an investigation made into the conduct of the road district under the control of Roeth. The investigation has been in progress over a month and the charges have all been jubli-hed. They refer to the al- leged misuse of wood cut down on the couunty roads; to the using of material for filling in lots in which Koesth nas an in- terest; to his method of keeping time and paying salaries, and to maiters incidental to his duties as road overseer. Late this afternoon the Grand Jury notified Judge Ozden that it had a partial report to make, The report consistea of acharge of misconduct, the penalty for which is a fine and removal from office. Disir.ct Attorney Snook will have todraw up a complaint from the information, and ithe case will go through tie ordinary course of irial. Roeth nas been orderea to appear before 1he court two weeks from to-morrow. An indictment has also been issued against W. A. Knowles for alleged alter- ing of a release of mortgage from the Uni. versity ot California. His bail was fixed at $3000. For two weeks Knowles, who is a real te agent, nas not been seen, The Resents wanted to find him to ask an ex- planat on, but as he coula not be found ihe maiter was taken before the Grand Jury. Itis believed Knowles is in San Francisco, Supervisor Roeth say: he can satisfac- torily explain matters before a court, and declares he has nothing to fear. MOSES TALS OF HONEY Gold Has Great Fluency and Flows In and Out as Needed. An Evil Side to High Wages—The Weak Cast Aside and the Strong Exhausted. Professor Moses of the University of California talked of money to an audience in the lecture-room of the Y. M. C. A. last evening. It wasa plain, simple, common- sense talk, wherein the ta'ker did not at- tempt to elucidate any of the profound principles of finance, but sought to make nis meaning ciear on the ordinary propo- sitions o! the subject. Moreover it was not the lecturer’s choice of subjects. He was simply detailed to lecture on that topic. In the beginning be announced two great divisions in the field of thought— one related to things created by nature and the other tothings created by man. He did not dwe!l on the uniimited sub- divisions, but selectel monay as one of them comirg under the heaa of economic science or political economy. He re- marked on the misleadingidea that money was the measure of value, venturinz the suggestion that the term vaiue was not understond. He advancea the notion that money is not different from any other commodity except in one particular thing, that exception being that we agree to nse it for a special purpose ,and the Government has stepped in and declared its quality. Barring such agreement and declaration, chairs or wheat or even oxan might be used. The professor set forth the advantages cf metaliic money, remarkine that gold has the quality of being valuable, also the quality of stability, and is easily sub- divided without loss to the divided sec- ticns. He remarked as another advantage that it was easily recoznizable, yet some people are deceived when it is presented in the form of bricks. One of the essen- tial conditions of money is that it shall be fluent. Gold possessed great It would flow out when not needed at home and flow back when it was wanted. Professor Moses did not go into an ex- tended discussion of siiver. He ooservea that the white metal—the sily:r doila; which was intended by law to be a stund- ard, 13 now a tok He doubted wusther it was wise to use any metal for money. The gold and silver now in use earned no interest, The abrasion by use was great and the cost of minting considerable. If the metallic money now in use were loaned to a for- eign country the interest on the loan woult be $20000,0 0 per annum. Paper money was not commended. It lacked fluency and elasticity. It wouid not go abroad when not needed at home. Tne professor saw an evil side to high rices-—even to the high price of labor, e did not mean that a man should re- ceive less than he earned, but the high standard of wages being establis:ed by the work of the strongest and most active caused the weaker to be cast aside and exnhausted speedily the strength of the strong.
