Federal Officers Are Looking for a New Opium Ring Now at Work. There were rumors on the water front and in Federal circles yesterday to the effect that A. W. McPherson is suspected of being the leader of a new opium ring. An old Federal inspector, who has had his eye on the movements of McPherson and his followers for some weeks, said yesterday: “It is hard to say just hrvwhtho new ang is operating, but it may bg safely f:"d“”,..,“ t‘;n\‘vrnr’r!lrnt officers are EJn thefr trail and that it will be impossible for the | ring to make any great progress without | detection.

The Bartender Was in Front of the | Place When the Robbery | Took Place. | Sneak thieves succeeded in robbing the cash register in the store of George Buz- zini, a liquor merchant at Eighth and Minna streets, a few days ago. While Bartender J. G. Marks was en- | gaged in conversation with a customer in front of the store, the thieves quietly | entered at the side door, and while one kept a lookout, the other ransacked the cash register. Marks did not discover that the place was robbed until he went to the register to make change. Not a cent greeted his eves and he could not ac- count for its disappearance. Further search showed that two revolvers and a pocket knife that usually reposed in the drawer were missing. Marks said that the reason why he did not hear the bell of the register when it was opened was due to the noise of heavy tratfic passing the store. ————— A MAPLE ROOM PARTY. Friends of the Bay City Wheelmen | Meet and Dance the Night Away. The Bay City Wheelmen held their | thirteenth annual reception in the maple | room of the Palace last evening. | About 200 friends of the knights of the | bike attended and showed their disregard of the fatal number by dancing the even- ing away and having a “perfectly splen- did” time.

Then he married one of his nieces. That marriage was not a happy one for the uncle and husband. After a few years of life with his sec- ond wife domestic trouble commenced and a divorce was secured by Mrs. ‘White. The cattle king was ordered to pay alimony by the court, but he re- fused to pay it and a suit was the re- sult. Judgment was secured against him, but he would not recognize it and he was thrown into jail for contempt That was nearly three years ago. He, however, settled the griev- ance against him, and ever since he has been looking for another wife. to suit him. He consulted the spirits on his matrimonial aspirations, and they told him to watch the col- umns of a marriage paper published in this city, and in that way he was made acquainted with the young lady he made his third wife. White is a believer in spiritualism. He consults mediums for advice on every venture he undertakes. All his | business affairs are carried on under the counsel of the spirits. The medium who conjures up for him the wraiths | of the vasty spaces apparently under- business affairs, for the ghosts have no difficulty in giving rea- sonable advice. As White has the means to pay if anything goes wrong he stands his losses with reasonable grace and praises the ghosts when things come his way. The spirits advised him to make his third matrimonial venture, and the wedding of yesterday was the result. The bride was Miss Louise Bogan, a pretty young lady living at 310 Tehama street. She had known her aged suitor but a short time when the weddingwas arranged. He was an ardent lover and an energetic man for his years. His beard was kept a shining black with a liberal use of dye, and in the fire of his love he strutted about with all the vigor of a youth. His blazing diamonds and frequent and costly presents cap- tivated the young lady. When a wed- ding trousseau was suggested the aged lover looked to it, and the bride stood beside him before the minister in a rustling white silk gown which showed off her pretty figure to an ad- vantage the happy groom admiringly appreciated. Rev. Dr. Cryor, the pas- tor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, performed the ceremony. Miss Anna Hannon was the bridesmaid and the maid of honor was Miss Kate El- phinston. John P. Bogan, a brother of the bride, supported the groom. Only a few of the friends of the bride were present at the ceremony. There was a breakfast after the marriage had been performed, and then the newly married couple took the train for Los Angeles. They will remain there for a short time, then take a trip through the southern part of the State and prob- ably go to Mexico. He | made love to many, but he could find | | none Isiven as 55 and the bride as 22. The bride’s age is correct, but the friends of White say the groom’s age is 72. e DEATH OF N. C. PARRISH. The Ex-super;isor and Pioneer In- surance Agent Succumbs to a Stroke of P_nralysil. Ex-Supervisor Nathan C. Parrish diedat an early hour yesterday morning after an iliness that has confined him to his bed for several months. About six years ago Mr. Parrish gradually lost control of his legs, and notwithstanding the most skillful medical treatment his malady de- veloped into locomotor ataxia, and two gears ago he was compelled to give up all usiness. Sunday nlggt Mr. Parrish was stricken with partial paralysis, and from that time unt{l his death he lay in a comatose state. Mr. Parrish was born in the State of New York on July 4, 1828. Soon after reachins his majority, he removed to Harvard, IIl., where, in 1852, he married Miss Julla Diggins, sister of J. C. and Byron Diggins of this city. Mr. and Mrs, Parrish, accompanied by the for- mer’s family, made a honeymoon _trip across the plains to California, arriving in San Francisco late in that year. Mr. Par- rish spent several years in mining, but for the past quarter of a century he has been connected with the Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company. In_ 1882 he was elected a member of the Board of Super- visors from the Eleventh Ward, which position he filled with honor to himself and his constituents. Since his retirement from public office Mr. Parrish has de- Vott(-‘d his attention to his private inter- ests. Besides his widow Mr. Parrish leaves two sons, H. A. and E. H. Parrish. The funeral will take place from his late resi- dence, 738 Capp street, at 2 o’clock this afternoon. The interment will be in the family plot in Laurel Hill Cemetery. —————— PRISON DIRECTORS MEET. Warden Hale Authorized to Sell One Million Convict-Made Grain Sacks. A special meeting of the Board of Pris- on Directors was held yesterday, and, af- ter a lengthy discussion, it was decided to authorize Warden Hale of San Quentin Prison to advertise the sale of 1,000,000 grain sacks. Warden Hale appeared before the com- mission and stated that he had about two million and a half sacks on hand and that he belfeved it advisable to dispose of a part of them. Under the law regulating the sale of grain bags manufactured at the peni- tentiary, no purchaser can obtain more that 5000 sacks unless by consent of the Prison Directors. In view of the fact that the output has far exceded the demand, the commission decided to place one mil- lion sacks in the field, the limitation as to number bought being for the present withdrawn. The price of the sacks was set at a previous meeting at $530 per hundred. The directors also authorized an ex- penditure of $17 to build a corrugated iron bullding at San Quentin, where the “‘waste corder” will be placed. The “cor- der” is at present in the jute mills, and catches fire on an average of three times a week. Fortunately for the State, the fires have always been discovered in time and quickly distinguished. Should a fire occur in the jute mill much valuable ma- chinery would be ruined, so the directors thought it better to have the “waste cor- der” isolated. —_— e QUARANTINE LAWS. State Officer Chalmers Gains a Tem- porary Victory. Judge Conlan yesterday rendered his decision in the case of Captain Finch of the steamer Gaelic and Pilot Johnson, charged with violating the quarantine laws by refusing to permit State Quaran- tine Officer Chalmers to board the vessel on her arrival last September. It has been brought up as a test case in regard to the much-vexed question as towhether the Federal or State Quarantine Officer has the power to quarantine vessels. Judge Conlan, in giving his decision, said he could not overlook the fact that there was a State law authorizing the appointment of a quarantine officer, and he would therefore find the defendants guilty, but would impose a nominal fine of $10 on each. with no alternative. Notice of appeal was promptly given to the Su- perior Cour BABIES T0 BE ALY EXIBITED The Mining Fair Management Will Give Them All a Chance. A Unique Communication on the Subject—Miss Davies’ Klon- dike Kitchen. There is going to be another baby show at the Mining Fair, and all the mothers with young hopefuls between the ages of 2 to 4 will have a chance of showing them next Monday afternoon. There were a large number of babies whose mothers did not get a chance to exhibit them at the last competition, and in order to give all a chance the management has decided to reopen the list. This determination was brought about by the following letter re- cefved yesterday: MOUNTAIN VIEW, Santa Clara County, Cal. To the Secretary of Mining Fair—Sir: I | write this to see if there would be anything | In it for my triplet girls if T were to take them to the Mining Fair any certain day. They are two and one-half years old, were born July 6, 1895, are bright and very healthy, and have a great many visitors, and we have been ad- vised by a great many to place them on exhi- bitlon, but it has not been in our power to do 80. We did not see your offer to triplets until Thursday noon, and then it was too late to take them, or we ghould certainly have gone. We are people that are renting land and struggling to get along, having to depend on a day's work to support a large family. I thought if there would be any money in it for the little girls by taking them to the fair for a day I would like to know, as I am anxious to get a little home for the girls. I do not want to appeal to the charitable at all, but would llke to know if there would any money in it by taking them to your fair. Ho‘v- ing there is no harm done by writing this, Yours respectfully, yMRS. HARVEY SMITH, Mountain View, Santa Clara, Cal. Varenne, the one-legged dancer, amused those present at the fair yesterday after- noon. Miss Edna Davies, the official lecturer on Klondike foods, spent a busy after- noon yesterday cooking banana fritters, broiling lamb chops and beauguard eggs. She has published a book called the “Klondike Cook Book,” and many of the receipts have pleased the housewives that have read it. To-day she will cook French rolls, deviled crab and banana snow. There will be a soap-wrapp!n% contest to-night, and an_endeavor will be made to beat the world’s record again. There will be eleven contestants. 2 —_——— WILL LEAVE THE CITY. George Upaon,-the Counterfeit Lot- tery Ticket Man, Heavily Fined by Judge Joachimsen. George Upson, the notorious counter- feiter of lottery tickets, appeared in Judge Joachimsen’s court yesterday morn- ing to answer to the charge of keeping a lottery place. Upson was arrested about a week ago by Sergeant Domnovan and posse at his house on Clementina street, and the plates, dies, punches and other articles used in the manufacture of tick- ets, besides a large number of tickets, ‘were seized. Upson pleaded guilty to the charge, and promised that if the Judge would be len- lent with him he would leave the city. ‘The Jndge fined him $200, with the alter- native of six months in the County Jail. He has on former occasions been fined $300 and $250. A. C. Campbell, who was arrested at the same time for aiding and a‘betung a lottery, will be tried by Judge Campbell on Friday.

It The Pacific States Baseball League was organized last night in the office of Eugene F. Bert, in the Parrott build- ing. Eight clubs were represented and Bert was elected president. It was de- cided to play at Central Park and use the regular association ball. A schedule committee was appointed and the sea- son will open on March 3. .The clubs represented at the meeting were: Gilt Edge of Sacramento, E. L. Kripp, W. J. Henesey; San Francisco, D. Crow- ley; Oakland, F. H. Bushnell; Santa Cruz, O. L. Tuttle and F. W. Swanton; Olympics of this city, BE. J. Kaplen; San Jose, J. McGuckkin and W. West- in; Stockton, G. H. Campbell, and Re- liance of Oakland, Cal Ewing. It was decided to have a 2 per cent reserve fund, to be collected from all the games to be played, and this is to form a consolation purse to be played for at the end of the season between the three leading clubs, and is to be divided in the ratio of 50, 30 and 20 per cent. Governor Budd has promised that when the season is over that he will give to the winning club a handsome banner, to be known as the champion- ship flag. When the regular season is ended there will be a series of games played here between the champion club of this league and the champion club of some other Coast league to be selected later. It was currently reported that the or- ganization of the Pacific States League was nothing more or less than a re- | vival of the malodorous carnival that was held here last year. Upon this sub- ject T. P. Robinson, the manager of the Recreation Park, at the corner of Eighth and Harrison streets, expressed himself in no uncertain terms. He said: “The California League will run again this season and it will show the Examiner that baseball can be successfully operated here without its support. This new league is being fathered by the Examiner, and it wants to get in and glorify itself some- where you can rest assured on that. T understand that it is offering the clubs less money to go with this league, with the understanding that if they do they will receive the support of the paper. The league cannot hold all of the ciubs that it claims are going with it. As for the Reliance Club, for tnstance, the California League controls the park there and the club will play with our league. Some of the other clubs that are claimed will not be with the new league. “I have cleared my park of all legal hindrances and the opposition, sup- THE DOUBLE OF LILLIAN RUSSELL Miss Barney of Oaland, Who Is Said to Resemble the “Kiry Fairy” One to a Remarkable Degree.

She made her debut Mon- day evening, and immediately scored a hit. £ Miss Barney is an vakland girl and first won recognition as a dramatic reader. the public was made in this city. Bhe played for a short time at Santa Rosa, but her formal bow to Mr. Clarke considers that he has found a treasure in Miss Barney, as she has both talent &nd beauty. ‘The former gift she has proved she possesses since last Friday night in the part she sustains in ‘“What Happened to posing that I had not, took snap judg- ment and organized this new league. I consider the new league to be backed and operated by the Examiner and that it intends to run baseball to suit itself.” It is hardly necessary to say that the meeting of the Pacific States League was secret and that only such data were given out for publication as it was desiged that the press should have. It is apparent that there is to be com- petition and opposition in baseball cir- cles this season. FOOTBALL OVER THE BAY. Association Games Which Will Be Played This Month in Alameda. Association football is experiencing somewhat of a boom in Alameda.
