The never-failing attraction, ‘“Uncle Tom's Cabin,” .ranked as one of the American stage classics, was put on at the California Theater last evening for a run of nine nights. That the drawing qualities of this dramatic chestnut—which and has So often come to the rescue of the box office—have not in the least been diminished by age was attested by a full house. The play was presented by a coi and ' well-batanced company, m mostly of well-known professfonals. The character of St. Clair, however, Was _por- trayed by an amateur, Dr. Frank B. Rob- inson, and the audience manifested great interést in his performance of the role.

An alarm was turned in from box 73 at 8:20 last evening for a fire in the two-story dwelling of F. O'Neil at 5 Lang- ton street. The damage was $150, and the blaze was caused by an overturned coal- oil lamp. Box 63 was turned in at 9 o'clock for a blaze in the three-story frame dwelling of D. Garrison at 510 Stevenson street.

Committeemen Discuss Their Griev- ances and Speak Harshly of Those Who Did Not Help the Cause. The funds of the Red Cross Soclety were increased yesterday by a liberal contribu- tion from the Retall Liquor Dealers’ As- sociation of this city. The amount is not so large as the gen- tlemen who collected the money desired and had reason to believe would be forth- this city, and the promoters of the move- ment estimated that the average would be considerably over $1 for each dealer. They expected to secure fully $15,000. After three weeks of the most energetic canvass throughout the city, the volun- teer committee secured $1168 75, This was secured only by the expenditure of much time and of practically doilar for dollar of the amount collected. The committes of which the members labored so zealous- ly in the humanitarian cause was made up of nine of the best-known dealers in the city. The roli of honor reads: Henry Adler, president. Jesse Marks, vice vresident T. M. Ferguson, treasurer. . E. Krumb, reta William_koeder. Joseph Parker. E. W. Osborn. Charles Green. Rudy Fishbeck. Now that the incident is closed and the labors of the committee nded, the members are discussing their experiénces in their unselfish labers. What they have to say is not complimentary to some men whose prosperity, it was supposed, would prompt_them to do something for the men who are at the front fighting for their c 2 “Pop” Suilivan, of the Hoffman Cafe, is one of the men who was handled with- out gloves at the last meeting of the com- mittee. A subscription blank was left with him for three weeks. At the end of that time a well-known member of the com- mittee called for it. He was struck dumb when he found that there was not an entry on it. Mr. Sullivan, who is credited with a yearly profit of some $25,000, had not subscribed a cent! The committeeman turned away more in sorrow than in wrath, his feelings in the frame of mind in which he found himself. Down at Frank Garcia's, on Montgom- ery street, opposite the Occidental Hotel, the Red Cross cause received the same chilling_reception. Matt Storn, the widely known horseman, was at the bar when ‘the committeeman called. He was about to drink a social glass, but the reception accorded the Red Cross representative stayed his hand, The refusul to aid the cause was couched in such strong language that Storn and his friends would not taste the liquor. They paid for their drinks, left them standing on the bar and vowed openly, that théy would never again seek enter- tainment. there. The representatives of the committee received a similar reception at Obermey- er’s, opposite the Palace Hotel, and were Ysrau(lcally ordered out of Mangels | !ron‘]ers' store, Franklin and Hayes | streets. | J. Bogan of the Louvre, with his army | of employes, could only collect $5, while the Baldwin Grotto contributed just $150. Among the liberal contributors, in addi- tion to the splendid workers of the com- | mittee, were M. E. Hornlein of the Cafe Royal, J. P. Dunne and Charles Ascher of the Baldwin Hotel. The movement was Inaugurated in an unostentatious manner by Harry Adler, proprietor of Frank's Billiard Parlor. With big-hearted T. M. Ferguson, he, in common with the remaining members, spent their time and their money in the cause. With the support they had reason to expect from the men who did not con- tribute, they would have made a showing in keeping with thelr expectations. BURGLARS FIRED UPON. Three of Them Meet With a Warm Reception From Charles A. Carr, Gunsmith. Three men broke into the store of Charles A. Carr, gunsmith, 330% Third street, shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday morning by forcing open the front door. (Carr sleeps in the store and was awak- ened by the noise. He walited till they en- tered, and seizing his revolver fired at one of the burglars as he struck a match. The three promptly fled from the store and | Carr fired another shot at their retreating figures. He does not know whether either of the shots took effect, but all yesterday the police in the southern district were on the lookout for a2 wounded burgiar. The burglars were seen by Carr to run along Harrison street toward Fourth, and that was the last seen of them. Carr no- tified policeman J. J. Reilly, who at once communicated with the Southern station office. The attaches at the Receiving Hos- pital were instructed to hold any man taken in for treatment for a gunshot wound, but no such man appedred. An ex- aminution showed that nothing had been taken from the store. ———— Played With a Fire Alarm. Henry Krey was arrested by Officer Flinn last evening for turning in a false alarm for fire. Krey asserts that he had no intention of calling out the fire depart- ment, but wished to secure the services of a policeman. He was coming along Kear- ny street about 6 o'clock and saw a drunken man lylng in the gutter at the corner of Clay.” The fire box on the coi ner he took for a police telephone and pro- curing the key from a neighboring drug store turned in an alarm from box 21. To his great surprise the fire department re- sfionded instead of the police patrol, but the latter soon made its appearance, and in company with his drunken protege Mr. Kret' was taken to the California street station. e Wanted for Pilfering Onions. Two men, believed to be BE. C. Ander- son and Andrew Jackson, and said to be employed on a morning paper, are being sought by the police. Early yesterday morning they were observed near the City Hall with their arms full of young onlons, which they claimed they had “found.” The police say the men are old offenders and had evidently taken the vegetables from in front of some dealer's store, where they had been left by a market gardener. e Patriotic Policemen. A hundred yards of red. white and blue bunting tastefully draped in front of the Californla-street station attest the pa- triotism of the police officers on the down- town beats. Over the door is a picture of Commodore Schley, and on each side good lithographs of Admirals Sampson and Dewey. These decorations, set off by the large flag recently purchased by the officers, give the station quite a Fourth ot July appearance. Nearly Asphyxiated. Mrs. Beaby. residing at 5 Birch avenue, narrowly escaped death by asphyxiation by gas last evening. She was found lying on the floor of her room in an unconscious condition by her sister, Mrs. Johns, and Was taken to the Receiving Hospital, where Dr. Wetmore soon had her out of danger. —_—_—— THE CRYSTAL SWIMMING BATHS. fearing to voice | ADVERTISEMENTS.

SUPPLY OF WHEAT AEMARKNBLY LOW BARELY ENOUGH TO CARRY OVER TO THE NEW CROFS. Believed to Have Touched Bottom and Will Show an Upward Ten- dency for Some Time. Owing to the Fourth of July, all wheat and cotton exchanges will be closed from Friday, July 1, at 1:35 p. m., until Tuesday, July 5. The week just closed has seen quite a reversal in the sentiment control- ling wheat prices. Early in the week the market was devoid of support. The very thought that wheat prices had favored prospects ahead met with ridicule. The argument was heralded about that England and France were heavily short on wheat in American markets. This welght alone would keep the market from advancing. People who were so inclined overlooked the fact that foreigners were selling what they could not deliver. They were hedging spot wheat held in foreign elevators. While this sentiment of bear- ishness was accumulating, Armour and other wise operators were quietly buying, Lelter's wheat has been gathered into camp by Armour around §0 cents for spot and 73 cents for July. The condition has improved materially. Wheat has gone from weak into strong hands. The mar- ket is in a congested condition. Outsiders are heavily short. They have followed Dame Fashion, and have to face losses |. at the present time. Conditions do not warrant wheat selling under 70 cents. disappointing threshing returns, Illinois showing the yield at ten bushels, against the Government report of fifteen bushels er acre. Indiana, Ohio, Missouri and {ansas continue to report severe damige to the crops, too much moisture and cold weather being the causes. If reports re- garding the crop are true, and there seems no good grounds to belleve them other- wise, the wheat crop of 1898 will not be more than an average one, and In this connection must come the.’ basls upon which prices must stand this year. Every wheat-growing country on the globe has small reserves to carry into a new crop. The holes to be filled up will require an immense amount from the coming crop. While there is no definite information regarding Russia s crop prospects, yet enough is known to say they are very ‘dis- cuurnghlf, and must exert an influencé of no little Importance in the near future. The receipts of wheat at primary points during the past week have never been 80 small, showing the very small reserves in farmers’ hands. The high prices prevail- Ing during Leiter's period brought out %very available bushel of wheat that could e scratched up from bins. Never in the history of the United States has therse | been 50 little wheat to carry ‘over from an old to & new crop. The liquidation by July longs is over. This pressure aided the bears, who seized the opportuiity and Rresxed their influence. Shorting wheat as become very fashionable. Armour, who is now in full control of the market, is not n]wafls disposed to shape his ac- tions upon the lines of speculative society. The spring wheat factor from.now on wili, play an important role. Conditions are claimed as brilliant. July and the first part of August are trying times for spring Wheat. Should any accident overtake it, fcreigners would not be slow In accepting changed conditions. It was pointed out in last week's review, as well as the previous week. that Sep- tember wheat might sell at or near 66 cents In the Chicago market and around $1 20 for December in th“f local market. The prices reached were % cents in Chi- cago and $1 21% in the local market. Basing calculations upon conditions as they appear at the present time, it looks as If wieat had touched bottom and will continue to show an upward tendency for some time, or at least until farmers’ de- llveries grow into largé proportions, which seems unlikely. They have been educated up to dollar wheat, and will not be anx- fous to sell at what appear unreasonably low prices. Farmers are financially abls to hold their grain for sultable returns. This {tem will show its effect fn a manner not to be mistaken. Barley, while some- what higher, has not the element of strength its friends claim fypr it. Un- doubtedly a drasgging vet active market will characterize the trade for some time. t In Chicago market closed at :79% Physiclans recommend the Crystal warm sea ‘water tub and swimming baths, North Beach. he; cents for September and in local at $1 for December, and bmefin 1 R.
