Both he and his daughter were “A Hot Time in the Old Town,” telis an interesting story concerning the born in San Francisco. Between ac s at the Orpheum last night, he said: “Iwrote the song especially for my daughter Ola, the contra-tenor, thinking it would suit her voice admirably. I composed the words and music in Chicago and Maine nearly two years ago. I did not 1magine I was doing anything that would go beyond the ordinary, bat it seems1 have written for the first time in American history a song commemorative of a good time in general. “The spirt of the song strikes everybody like ‘Home, Sweet Home.’ Wh en Boston won the pennant I heard more than 60,000 peovle singing my song, and the Heraid devored its first page to the song and a few illustrations of the carnival of happiness that followed 1he victory. ever. The song has reached a sale of more than a million and is stili going faster than This is very unusual, for such melodies usually subside in about three months, and are soon forgotten.” Miss Ola Hayden, the charming songsiress, was born in San Francisco, but has sung a]l over the country, “My greatest hits have been msde with the song in tne Eas:,” she scid, “for there I have been called out eight and ten times. It seems to me the San Franci:co audiences are a little cold, though 1l am told I am as popular as anybody. 1 have been calied out three and four times here every night, but I thought my native city oughtto beat the record.” BURGLARS PLY THEIR TRADE win Entered by Two Bold Thieves, They Were Surprised at Their Work and Made a Run for Freedom.

SAUSALITO WILL SURRENDER. Cases Brought /gainst the Poolroom Players to Be Uismissed by the Authorities.

Creed under a town ordinance forbidding that form of gamblers within the limits of the picturecque burgh. The reason assigned for the abandonment of the cases is that the prosecution of the gamblers woald bankrup: the town, and further, though this isonly balf admitted, no jury could be tound to bring in a ver- diet of guilty, so divided is the sentiment for and against the gamblers, It is estimated t atalready the experses incidental to the arrests have summed up into the hundreds, and if the cases are pressed, and there are over thirty in all, the expense would be enormous, and per- haps greater tian the town could bear. Thus far the juries bave disugreed, and when finally discharged by the court, have stood a majority in favor of ac- quittal. The town authorities say that the law is vlain, but when it goes to the jury that is the last of it and by the ver- dict one woula hardly recognize that Sausalito had any laws at all, | Residence of William Ir-| burgl r was driven | | J Etliot, Spokane to | M ran to a fence in the rear of | ¥ | G Coblens, They walked upstairs and were about to | 4 K W C Vozt, ~an Diego HOTEL ARRIVALS. ° Exinonie GRAND HOIFL J Martella & w,Pr Reyes Miss Jartells, Pt Reyes C - dams, Oiema F P Litt efield, clty Sacto G A Hoft cto r, Chicago Miss M Buexn, Chicago s L Miss buozb, Chicago C - uen, Suno J Alessandro.

The New Hope Consolidated was started and owned largely by San Francisco peo- ple, among whom were George W. Beaver, Colonel Kye and George H. Wheaton, now ot this city. The corporaiion has | long azo been forgotten, though it was never formally avandoned or disincor- porated, Speaking of the properties of the com- pany Mr. Wheaton lateiy said : “We have veen approached by a/l sorts of peoble in | search of t.e properiy.

To the Editor of The Call—DEAR St The in- terview in lasvWednesday’s issue of THE CALL, | purporting to have been held with Mr. Sex- | wright and a member of the ¢x-footbill team of the Young Men’s Christian Association, contains statements which do an injustice to Dr. Dieiz, our physical director. lu view of this will you piease aillow me a few words of explanation? ie whele trouble arose over the fagt that Mr. Seawright was notaccep:able to the Young Men’s Christian Association as manager of our football team. Official statements regarcing him were received by us from Stanford Uni- versily, where he was formerly a studeut, which led us to believe he was not a proper person to have charge of our young men. Immediately on receipt of this information { Isought interview with Mr. Seawright, telling him of my information and its source, and that I hoped he would be able to vindi- cate himself, as I iad riot the slightest dfspo- sition to make it unpleasant for him in any way. This be failed to do, and I then insisted that he withdraw from our football team as manuger, for under no circumstances would the team be aliowed to play under our auspices oreolors as long as _he had anyshing to do with it; and if the team persisted in continu- ing Wim as manager then it must withdraw {rom the association a8 & team. Being influ- enced by Mr.Seawright, it has witndrawn, The young men made a splendia record, and we are sorTy for the unpleasant circumsan ces which necessitated the severing of their com- nection with the assoeiation. 1 regret boing obliged to give this matter publicity, but as the parties concerned huve given the wrung impression 1o the public it 1s quite necessn!? it should be corrected: Yours truly, .

At AE WANTS MG FOR NOTHING The Percentage Burean Man Isin Town Solic- iting Patronage. It Is Hardly Likely, However, That He Will Become Wealthy in This City. Merchants Here Are Profiting by the Experience of New York Business Men, He of the Percentage Bureau is in the city. Solicitations for patronage have been inaugurated, and the busy merchant is being held by the arm while in his ub- willing ear is poured a gilded story as to how the bureau wili augment his business irom two to four figures in dollars each month; it derends on the<extentof the income of the business prior to the inter- vention of the bureau in its behalf. The merchants, however, are not join- ing hands with the bureau men with the alacrity expected, and he of the bureau is disappointed. Merchants and business men are prafiting by the experlence of the merchants in New York, who unwittingly turned an ear te the promoters of a scheme eimilar that lately introduced in this city. The idea of the association is a novel one. A suave, well-m:nnered, well- groomed young man approaches the bus ness man and exp:ains that the crganiza- tion is in a position to throw a cerwain vatronage not at present enjoyed by him his way. The representative of the bureau then explains a system of tags or stamps by which bhe is enavled to identify his purchaser from the multitude. The busi- ness man marks the profit aceruing from the purchase of the patron with the stamp and at the end of the mouth the bureau draws its percentage. tinally, however, the merchant finds that many of his old-iime customers pre- sent the stamp, and in the explanadion following he learns that the patron has been approached and hes accepted the tag under the imiression that he is dealing with the representative of some firm with whom he has been used to deal and by accepting the tag will be entitled to a spe- cial rate. This, however, is a mistake, and be 1s cbarged the same for his pur- chase as thouch he had never bicome ac- quainted with the representative of the bureau. Atth: end of a few months the mer- chant finds that a great percentage ot his business is being dope under the stamp of the bureaun and he is forced to pay a large percenta.e of profits into the hands of the bureau promotors. No remedy by which the evil can be stopped can be found and t e merchant nods that his business bas not increased, but at the end ot euch montb he is the creditor of people from’ whom ke has purchased nothing and with whowm Le Has transacied but Jii- tie business. T..e marchants in this city are not anx- ious to increase tlieir business, however, in the lines indicated by the bureau, and in all probability 1t will not prosper in the land of the setting sun.

Where were those placards announcing that any one wagering two bits with a friend on the result of a game would be peremptorily bounced from Central Park ? Wasit the announcement made in the yel- low journal that such pldcards would be conspicuously displaved about ths grounds that deterred ‘‘sure-thing men” from at- tending and ‘“‘wagering large sums of money on the game?’ Or wes it because of the znnouncement in the yellow jour- nal that gambling was going on at Central Park that deterred bail enthusiasts from witnessing the game between the Will & Fincks and California Markets yesterday afternoon? ‘Wiere was thecrowd? ‘“‘Gone glimmer- ing like a schoolboy's tale of woe.” Less than 200 paid admissions.
