12 ROBBED A BOBTAIL OF (TS CASH Bold Thieves Loot an Ancient Car of Its Nickels. Daring Raid of Two Men With Hope of Little Plunder. Took Great Risk of Long Im- prisonment for a Few Small Coins. TOOK THE CASHBOX, TOO. An Antiquated Tram of the Sixth and Sansome Streets Line Loses a Few Nickels. Two beardless and bold young men robbed a car of the Sixth, Market and Sansome streets line early last night and escaped with the cashbox, cash and all. The amount of their plunder was small and they did not obtain much more than 50 cents for the risks | they took of spending the greater part of their future life in this world in the State’s prison. Their plan was a bold on though it did not require much and it was successfully carried out. The cars of the line are ancient one-horse affairs that rattle over the Joose and disjointed rails of the anti- quated track and they have few pat- rons. The drivers of the horses sleep half the time and when they are not asleep they act as conductors as well as cluckle to the broken-down nags, they spend their lives behind, in an effort to encourage some speed out of them Early last night two young men with | their hats pulled down over their eyes | and their coat collars turned up— | something after the sleuth disguise worn by the average detective of the pr t city force—boarded a down- town car on Sixth street, near Folsom. They walked to the front of the car and sat with their backs toward the dri One of them reached up and pped two nickels in the slot of the | in front of the car in payment for their fare. Driver and Conductor Ep- right, who was in charge of the car, turned the two nickels down into the little locked receptacle in the bottom of the box after seeing that the fare was all right, then went on dream- ing and clucking to his horse. The car | turned down Market street and went | to Sansome street without picking up | a passenger. Sansome street, through the wholesale district, was as de- serted as a graveyard after nightfall. The car turned down into the dimly lighted street, and by the time Cali- | fornia street was reached Driver and | Conductor Epright was almost asleep nd the poor nag was plodding along the rickety old car after him his nose almost grazing the by a strange racket going on car, and he regained his senses in th in time to see his two passengers crowding out of the rear door and one of them carrying the cashbox. Epright tried to open the front door to run them and recover the property of employers, but the door was fast- ened. By the time he got the car stopped the robbers had disappeared down California street. The driver raised an alarm, but it was some min- utes before assistance arrived, and by that time the thieves were well out of the wa Epright is an extra man on the line. He could not give a good description of his passengers who robbed the car. They were, he said, both young men, possibly between 20 and 25 years of age, and both of them were beardless. They both wore overcoats and had their coat collars turned up and their | hats pulled down over their faces. The | conductor paid little attention to them after they had deposited their fares in | the box. The boxes of the cars of the line are arranged to be transferred from one end of the car to the other, so that they can always be at the front end of the car and under the eyes of the driver. It is an easy matter to lift them out and the robbers had planned to prevent interference from the driver by fasten- ing the front door of the car on the in- side. The box had been emptied of its nickels about two hours before it was stolen, so that there could not have been more than half a dollar in it, in- cluding the two nickels the robbers put into it for their fare. GENEROUS GIVERS. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Merrill Endow the Children’s Hospital—Mrs. Hearst’s Gift. Mr. and Mrs. John F. Merrill of this city have generously sent to the board of managers of the Children’s Hospital $5000. The money is to be devoted to the establishment of a perpetual free bed for surgical cases at the Children’s Hospital, the bed to bear the name of Henry C. Merriil, eldest son of the | donors, a member of the senior class | of the State University 1897, who was fatally injured by an accident | in Berkeley two years ago. The Ladies’ Seamen’s Friends So- ciety in charge of the Sailors’ Home, corner of Main and Harrison streets, San Francisco, has been made happy by the timely and generous donation of $100 from Mrs. Phebe Hearst. —_—— Christmas in the Jall. Chief Jailer Sattler treated his guests in the Broadway establishment yesterday to a luxury in the shape of roast pork and apple sauce at the 2 o’clock dinner. A large number of Salvation Army sol- diers, and other evangelists, visited the prisoners in the afternoon and brought flowers, tracts and spiritual consolation and encouragement. Sl e O Wanted in Colfax. Thomas Neighbor, a young man 22 years of age, was arrested by Detectives Dillon and €rockett yesterday afternoon on algispalch from Sheriff Sims of Col- fax, Placer County, that he was wanted there for a criminal operation.

L J m{WJ o FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1897. Santa Claus Assumed the Protean Aspect of Hundreds of Street Peddlers Yesterday Who Lined Market Santa Claus of the curbstone reaped a rare harvest yesterday. As if the regular stores had been sur- charged to bursting or had been de- pleted by the muititude of Christmas buyers, the very earth—or cnbb stones—along the line of Market street sprang forth into living purveyors of novelties. Eastern visitors, with whom the great metropolis of the West teems at this season of the year, stood and gasped—then gazed and bought! The day was an ideal California Christmas day. It was weather for standing, in the warm sunshine, without fur boa or astrakhan overcoat. It was we: for gasping, for the air was pure, ex- hilarating as a draught of champagne. Above all, it was a season for buying, for was not McKinley President and had he not brought an era of pros- Street and Did a perity and a promise of turns? So the chapmen along the sidewalk saw their opportunity, yelled the merits of their wares and carefully stowed away their profit ch one was convinced that he or she had the only Christmas bargain in to golden re- the plaintive street singer, wit ories of happier circum: ce forced to admit that a California Christmas was a godsend when it came right. And the Salvation Army las collecting dimes for a big holiday « ner, allowed pretty smiles each other across their sober faces as they jingled the largesse of a happy, liberal public. There was the man with the mechan- ical walking policeman, who was loud- ly advertised as capable of escorting any lady across the most dangerous thoroughfare; there was the boy with the climbing monkey and the country- to chase Roaring Trade. man with piles of Christmas trees and forests of holly and its scarlet berries. Then there were the flower girls of- fering great dewy California violets— as big as pansies—big bunches of helio- trope, tea roses in bloom and shyly budding; pink carnations for .dude button-holes, big baskets of giant santhemums and barrowfuls of mixed flowerets daintily veiled with maidenhdir fern. Flora is green in California and she proposed to let the world know it at the yuletide when her Eastern realm is frozen or snow- covered. Then there were rows of shallow carts laden with “French” candy, English walnuts, Riverside oranges, dates, figs, chocolate creams, bananas, apples from Oregon, ice-cream, chewing-gum et hoc genus omne. All packages were in readiness for the nimble nickel, and all were suitably wrapped for pre- sentation to the object of the buyers’ taste. Never were nickels so plentiful nor hucksters so merry. The very Rosi- nantes harnessed to the ‘coster” wagons scented a good feed when night fell, and looked happier than their wont. Cheap jewelry absorbed unusual at- tention. “Pure gold” rings were lav- ishly offered at a nickel a piece, each circlet being fitted in the presence of an admiring crowd. A revolving tray of pins, sleeve-links, brooches and em- blems attracted a large circle, which was invited to “pick their choice for a dime a pick.” Many a youthful swain was induced to part with his dimes for two glittering “diamonds” and fanciful trifles. It was Paris in spring or Florence at cernival time on Market street. It seemed as if everything that the heart of approbative or susceptible man or woman could desire was obtainable on the streets of San Francisco yesterday for a modest nickel or dime. A WHITECAP RAID IN IOWA. “‘Strangest experience I ever had,” said the man who used to do a whole- sale business in live stock, “wag out | in Towa, and not very many years ago either. I had put up at a little coun- try tavern in a sparsely settled coun- try where it looked as though the in- habitants were having a pretty hard struggle to keep the wolf from the door. About midnight there was a great hub-bub about the place, and there came an imperative demand for me to show myself. I found a dozen masked men and my first impression was that they were after my money. But they declared that they were whitecaps, that they were going to make a raid and that they wanted a witness. It was no use to protest, and after they had put me in one of their ugly disguises I rode with them some eight or ten miles, when they routed out a poor old couple who lived in the meanest kind of a cabin. “‘You owe $40 on this piace and haven't paid it,’ said the leader sternly. “‘I couldn’t,’ was the old man's tremulous answer. ‘Me and Beckie has saved and scrimped and done the best we could.’ “ “You let one of your cows get killed and that was another $25 lost.” “‘‘She was struck by lightnin’, sir. Are you goin’ to punish us fur that?' This was from Beckie. “‘You're lettin’ this shanty go to pieces. It needs patchin’ and a new roof. This is no way to live, and we won’t have it.” “The old man only groaned, while Beckie's eyes flashed and she wished their son Jim had lived. **‘Forty, twenty-five, we'll call it a hundred,” said the captain, and I made up my mind to fight rather than see the cruelty of 100 lashes inflicted upon this good old couple. ‘There it is,” and the captain handed over $100. 1 promptly added $50 and we left the happiest pair you ever saw. *‘That’s the kind of whitecaps we are,’ laughed the captain as we rode homeward. ‘We never let people like that suffer, though we do sometimes bring bad citizens up with a short turn.’ "—Detroit Free Press. ——————— AMERICA’S FIRST TROTTER. Washington Star. ‘‘One reason,” remarked the colonel to a campany of interested listeners, “that we raise better horses in Ken- tucky than are raised anywhere else on earth is that we not only have the water that makes bone because of the lime that is in it, and the finest grass in the world, but we have all over the Blue Grass region, where the great horses come from, an elevation of a thousand feet and more above the sea, which gives just the right kind of air for a horse to breathe to become the right kind of a horse. Did you ever | hear of a really great horse bred and born at sea level? “And speaking of horses,” continued the colonel. “how many of vou know when the first trotting horses—that's the kind I take to market—made their appearance in this country, or in any country for that matter? Of course, there have always beentrottinghorses, for that is the animal's natural gait, but I mean trained trotting horses, ‘Well, the father of trotting horses in the United States, and generally, for the trotting horse may be said to have originated in the United States, was Messenger, a thoroughbred, imported from England in 1788 at the age of § years, and for twenty years thereafter at the stud in the neighborhood of Philadelphia and New York. “He was a gray horse with a long pedigree, which included some of the best English strains, as well as Arabian, from which he probably took his color. He had a numerous progeny by thoroughbreds and coldbloods, and almost invariably these latter produced horses which showed the same trot- ting quality. Tt took some time, how- ever, for the trotter to get off the road and divide turf attraction with the thoroughbred, but it was bound to | come, and in the year 1818, ten years | after Messenger’'s death, the first pub- lic trotting race of which there is any record in the United States, tookplace, when the gray gelding, Boston Blue, was matched to trot a mile in three minutes, a feat deemed at that time to be impossible. All the same, the gelding went the mile in less than three, though what the figures were nobody knows, as records were not kept then as they are now.” THE SEV GODS OF ART. On the front of the new National Academy of Design seven great tablets have been reserved for those names which hold a supreme place in the world’s history of art. According to the published accounts of the accepted design—that of Messrs. Carbere and Hastings, the architects who have been successful likewise in the compe on for New York's great library building—the seven names have already been selected: Phidias, Giottg, Raphael, Michael Angelo, Titian, Durer and Veiasquez. The making of such a list for so noble a purpose is always a fascinating sub- ject for the exercise of thought. Such questions appeal strongly to the public imagination. Even a call in the Sun fgr opinions as to the ten best novels, or the ten best short poems, or the ten greatest Americans, or the twelve most distinguished women of the century, is sure to inspire much intellectual activity and to develop wide differ- ences of opinion. That will be the case with the sug- gestion of Messrs. Carrere and Hast- ings as to the consummate artists of all time. Can the list be improved? Is every ome of the seven names worthy to stand with the other Does the name of Phidias represent a legendary and conventional ideal rather than a known achievement entitling him to head the list? Should Giotto be replaced, and by whom? Ought Rembrandt to supplant Durer or Velasquez? There is no absolute standard or ultimate tribunai, but these and many other questions are sure to be discussed. There are two other tablets or panels to be filled with the names of the demigods of art, and the scheme pre- sented by the architects is this: North panel—Velasquez, Turner, Ghirlandajo, Durer, Franz H; Reynolds, Lorraine, Meissonier, Sar- gent, Stuart, Inne South Panel—Botticelli, Guido Reni, Tintoretto, Rubens, Lawrence, Gains- borough, Corot, Chavannes, Whistler, Rembrandt, Dia: Here the principle of selection is less obvious and the room for controversy much ampler. Why should Velasquez and Durer, already inscribed among the supreme seven, have places also in the company of the demigods? Why should Guido Reni be included while Andrea del Sarto is excluded? Where is poor old Carlo Dolci, anyway, if the decadence of Italian art must be rep- resented? Why Diaz and not Rous- seau? And why Puvis de Chavannes and Meissonier? About the American names let others talk. We assume that James Abbott McNeil Whistler is included as an American, and perhaps from motives of prudence. —_————— OUR PART IN THE PARIS SHOW. Chicago Tribune. The President recommends the appro- priation of a large sum to enable the United States to cut a figure at the Paris exhibition. This sum is over $900,000, and it must be remembered that this is to be supplemented by pri- vate contributions and expenses of business men. But if the output is large it must be borne in mind that the returns are likely to be large. There is no way of finding out just the reia- tion of exports to world fairs, but it is sure that these enterprises, which sei- dom pay their stockholders, do pay the nations that hold them. Philadelphia gave an impetus to the art of this na- tion and to that of other nations in its | centennial exhibition. Chicago’s fair is of too recent date to enable one to say in exactly what respect its influ- ence will be largest, but aside from its directly educational value with the masses it is likely to make a lasting impress on our architecture and the decorations and appointments of our buildings. Minor fairs, like those of Atlanta, Nashville, New Orleans and San Francisco as well as that in Omaha that is promised for the coming year, are refining in their influence on local populations and are stimulants to in- dustries. With the esthetic results of these great shows it will be contended that our Governments have nothing to do; but if markets can be opened for our pictures, statuary, porcelain, wall paper, embroideries, building plans and other such matters, they become not merely things of art, but commo- dities, and those who create them have the same right to protection and consideration as if they carried hods or made tin plate. Our coarser indus- tries, too, always have showing in the exhibitions,and asit isintended tomake the coming fair in Paris the largest if not the best of all, except Chicago’s, it is for our material benefit that a full line of plows, harvesters, hardware, type, cloth, lumber, metals, fireworks, sugar, in fact all such matters that are manufactured in this country, should be sent to that city and exhibited in competition with similar products from other countries. If we can prove bet- ter qualities or better prices than the competitors, be sure we shall gain the benefit in trade. We also want at least as good a showing from our Govern- ment museums and departments as we had in Nashville, in order that the Eu- ropeans may better understand our greatness and importance. Ignorance of America and Americans still pre- vails among the masses of the contin- ent, and they will think it less safe to disparage and insult our people abroad when they know what we are and how well we are going to be provided to re sist indignities. Let us make a brave showing in Paris. e APPOINTED RY MISTAKE. S City Times. The Washington career of James H. Eckels, Comptroller of the Currency, reads almost like a romance. He was really appointed to his office through a mistake made by Mr. Cleve- land. The late President intended to appoint Eckels to be Comptroller of the Treasury Department, which is quite a different office from Comp- troller of the Currency. The former has to do with warrants drawn upon the treasury. It is the duty of the ymptroller to see that they are in ac- cordance with law and that there is authority for their payment. While it an important office, now and then g called upon to make decisions which mean a good deal to the Gov- ernment and to individuals, it does not compare with the comtrollership of the currency. The incumbent of this office has under his direct charge the great national banking system of the coun- try, with its almost infinitely impor- tant relations to the prosperity of the people. When by a slip of the pen Mr. Cleve- land nominated Mr. Eckels for the lat- ter office when he intended to name him for the former, he decided, in Mr. Cleveland's characteristic fashion, to let it stand. Eckels was then a young lawyer of Lasalle, Ill. He and his part- ner had helped - Willlam C. Whitney swing the Illinois delegation in line for Cleveland at the Chicago convention of 1802, He was a pretty good lawyer and might have made a good law offi- cer of the Treasury Department, but he knew nothing about finance. So, when the President decided to let him stay in the office in which a mistake put him the young man was put upon his metal. His success there shows what a voung American of brains and deter- nination can do. He studied finance from morning till night. He familiar- ized himself with the financial and banking systems of this and other countries. No man ever worked harder than Mr. Eckels did during those first few months of his incum- bency of the office. The result was that when the panic came on and banks began to fail and troubles to accumulate the young comptroller knew his business. He handled it, too, with celerity and confidence. He won the confidence and admiration of the financial and business world. He han- dled a greater number of bank fail- ures, with larger liabilities and assets, than any former comptroller had ever done and larger than any similar Gov- ernment official had ever in the history of the world. The responsibility was great, but he met it admirably. e A YANKEE SKIPPER'S TRICKS. A good anecdote is told illustrating | the superior enterprise of the Yankee skippers years ago. The whalers left port for many a long voy- age, sometimes to the far north, at other times to the far south. These intrepid followers of the sea sought and pursued the whale in the ice-clad | latitudes about the poles with a natu- | ral fearlessness. A squadron sent out by Russia to explore the south seas, and reach the pole, if possible, had at- tained a degree of latitude which the commodore proudly told himself had | never been reached by white man or | ‘While he re- | other human beings. flected upon the fame that wouldsure- ly embellish his name, his sailors cried | Off to the south he des- | “Land ho!” cried a long low-lying bit of land, and hastened to shape his course to reach it, there to plant the Russian stand- ard on its highest point, claiming it in the name of his Majesty. ‘What was his disgust and astonish- ment when, as his vessel approached the shore, he observed, over a bit of headland, a flag fluttering from a masthead. In a few minutes a little schooner poked her nose around the point and came sailing smartly over the waves toward his vessel. The lean "Yankee captain, who was stand- ing in the rigging as the schooner came up in the wind, yelled: “‘Ahoy, there! What ship i “‘His Majesty's ship the — “Well, this is the Nantucket from Rhode Island. We're doing a little pi- loting in these latitudes, and if you want to run in the cove yonder, why, we’ll pilot you in for a small charge.” The admiral's disgust caused him to square his sails around and shape his course for Russia.—Harper's Round Table. that?” NEW TO-DAY. $100 TO ANY MAN WILL PAY $100 FOR ANY CASE 0F Weakness in Men They Treat and Fail to Cure.

Interesting Matches to Decide the Championship in Doubles. ‘Whitney and Chesebrough and ‘Whitney and Bradshaw to Play Finals To-Day. More players entered to contest in the championship doubles in the Cali- fornia Tennis Club tournament yester- day than ever before in the history of that organization. Of the fifteen teams entered there were but two defauits. At one stage of the {ournament every court was occupied, and the large gathering of enthusiats were taken up in appreciating the brilliant work. Play began at 11 o'clock, H. S. Schmidt and Fletcher Hamilton being pitted against Munson and Hillyer Deuprey. The match was a lively one, and the crowd was surprised at the rapid way Schmidt, who is the smallest player in the club, covered the court. Fletcher Hamilton’s work was also clever for a young player, and he and | his partner succeeded in winning the game by a score of 7—5, 7—5, in two straight sets. Nelson Eckert and Sherwood Adams were defeated by Root and Bliven by a score of 6—4, 6—8, 7—5. The losing team were within a point of winning, having five games to their opponents’ two. Root and Bliven then braced up and took the match. In the next match George Whitney and Alfred Chesebrough, the cham- pion of the University of California, were pitted against H. Crowell and William B. Collier Jr. team was too much for their antagon- ists, and they won handily by a score of 6—1, 6—4. H. Tickner and B. Bell defeated J. Corrigan and Bryan Bell. Score 86, tor in lawn tennis, as well as other sports, was shown in the match in which James A. Code and John Blan- ley and Jack McBride. The latter team put up a game contest and gave their opponents a hard rub, but had to sub- mit to defeat due to a lack of train- ing.

It was won by superior team work of the first named team by a score of 6—1, 4—6 and 6—1. The losing team never played tpgether before, Their gaining a set against such clever opponents was considered an excellent showing. S thoe Hgooper and R. J. Davis defeated Landy and Harris by default, as also did the Meyer brothers win from Oliver and Walter on the same ground. In the second round, Dr. C. B. Root and Ralph Bliven defeated Schmidt and Hamilton. Score 6—0, 6—1. The losing team, tired from their exertions in the first game, did not play with v“(r‘:eorge ‘Whitney and Alfred Chese- brough defeated Tickner and Bell by a score of 6—1, 6—4. The match was closer than the score indicates. Bell played particularly strong for his side, but he spoiled the chance of winning by playing too close up to the net. Whitney and Bradshaw, better known as the invincibles, had their hands full in defeating Code and Blanchard. The winners had to exert themselves, as Code and Blanchard several times nearly took the set. The Meyer brothers defaulted to Hooper and Davis at the end of the cond round. seln the semi-finals Whitney and Chesebrough were first to contest against Root and Bliven. This match was waited for by the crowd, as the splendid showing made by the latter team in the second round made it the match of the day. Both teams had played considerably before this and no attempt at brilliant playing was attempted, their efforts being directed to making sure of every play. In an effort to get a short ball Whitney drove into the net, but without injury, The misplay seemed to have a go0j effect, for he played with more dash. Twice did Root and Bliven come with- in. an ace of taking the set, only to succumb to the superior work of their opponents. Whitney andfl Chesebrough won by a score of 10—8, 7—5. The last match of the day was con- tested in by Whitney and Brad_shuw and Hooper and Davis. The rapid net play of the former ;eém'% v;;on3 them the atch by a score of 6—3, 6—3. m?{‘oberty“’hitney and Bradshaw and George Whitney and Alfred Chese- brough will meet to-day to decide the championship. Both teams are made up of the cleverest players in the club and a large crowd is expected to be present to see an exhibition of the finer points of the game. The win- ning team will be presented with a silver match box and a box of cigars. —_— A Drunken Driver.
