Chief Lees notes the able way in which the police bore themselves during the onslaught of the Christian Endeavor- ers, and points with pride to the fact that during the stay of these people the town was not sacked. He thinks the pres- ence of the soldiers has very ably been prevented from resulting disastrously, overlooking the fact that this presence resulted in a cracked pate for one of his officious patrolmen who came in contact with a sentry’s musket, and that the purpose of the soldiers in being here Is not to loot the municipality. chine, and his report is not marred by citation of instances in which the machine has slipped a cog.

The Home Sewing Company Will Be Organized To-Morrow Evening. The first steps toward organizing the Woman’'s Home Sewing Company will be taken to-morrow evening in Pythian Cas- tle, 99 Market street. The object of this association is to furnish deserving women with sewing at rates of wages at which they can make a living. It was started by those who think that they should have some of the Government work of making garments for the soldiers, work which the contractors are now giving to the Chi- nese. Quite a number of wives and wid- ows of the old and young soldiers made known their wishes to W. W. Allen Sr., a veteran of the Grand Army of the Re- public, who af once started this plan so as to give these women the work to which they are entitled. The meeting to-morrow evening will be to perfect the organization. It will be ad- dressed by Mr. Allen and a number of the ladies who are expected to look after the welfare of the company after it is incorporated. Mr. Allen is attend- ing to the legal end of the matter, but the meeting was called by Mrs. L. E. Squires. As soon as the company is on a solid footing its directors will bid for contracts for Government work, which will be given out to the women at prices far above what they are now get- ting. Those who desire will have the op- portunity of doing the work in a factory. EXPECTORATION A NEW WRINKLE THE THIEF IS CAUGHT AND ‘WATCHES RECOVERED. Novel Ruse of William Gridley to Make a Profitable Haul in a Third-Street Jewelry Store. It took Willam Gridley, aged 59, just three days to make up his mind to walk out of Glindemann & Schweitzer’s jewelry store, 5 Third street, with two gold watches nestling tenderly in the paims of his hands, and now he is reventant and aweary of this world, for his name is written on the big book of the police sta- tion and he is charged with grand lar- ceny. Gridley pleads the desire for bread the reason for his criminality. Gridley, with the air and manner of some prosperous farmer, walked leisurely into the jewelry establishment on Third street Saturday morning .and asked to be shown some watches. He was very critical and fastidious in his selection and finally narrowed down his choice to one of two handsome chronometers. His de- liberate consideration was punctured by apologies for expectorations of tobacco juice. He would leave the counter every few minutes, go to the entrance and then color the contiguous sidewalk a deep ripe brown. - This over the watches would again absorb his attention. The same thing happened Saturday afternoon and vet no selection was made. It was a difficult matter for Mr. Gridiey to satisfy his mh’\ddfls to the watch which his fancy referred. pThe expectorations went on with unde- viating regularity during this second visit as before. On Monday morning there was a second repetition of both the close ex- emination of the watches and the inter- mittent expectorations. The climax came last evening. Schweit- zer was patiently waiting on Gridley when the latter, weighing the pair of those much-looked-at watches, one in each hand, suddenly remembered that the time for an expectoration had arrived. He for- got that he had the watches In his hands and started to run out of the store. C. M. Daiss, a clerk, rushed out after the thief and caught him on Third street. Gridley was turned over to Detective Tom Ryan, who took him to the Central Police Station. Going up on the patrol wagon a criminal named Bryant called Gridley by the name of Tom and told him not to give his name to the police, and that he would bring him some tobacco. The police think Gndfey is an old one at the busi- ness. One watch was recovered on Third street by Special Officer Con Kelly. The other was found on the thief's person. Two suspicious looking characters were in the store when uridley made his crit- jcal examination of the timepieces. —_————————— RICHARD T. SPRAGUE. His Funeral Was Attended by a Large Number of Sorrowing Friends. The funeral of Richard T. Sprague took place yesterday at 2 o'clock from the Sprague residence, 2014 Webster street.

The school teachers astonished them- selves yesterday by drawing their June salary. Heretofore the June salaries were generally hung up until the following Oc- tober, but this year, much to their aston- jshment, they were notified to step up to the captain’s office and draw down thelr mite. It is needless to add they did. DANCING MEN ARE AGITATED They Are Compelled to Pay License. MR. O’BRIEN’S PULL IS GONEE HIS SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES HAVE NO INFLUENCE NOW. Professors of the Divine Art Accuse Collector Bonnet of Discrimi- nating in Favor of Girls. The dancing teachers are cutting pigeon wings on a hot griddle. Before License Collector Bonnet took his office they were not required to pay any license for the privilege and the pleasure of teaching the divine art. Mr. Bonnet's demand that they part with | some of the gold earned by the exercise of | their beloved art has imbued the frater- itself, they say that the Collector has fa- v}?red the women teachers by exempting them. The indignation of the male members of the profession culminated yesterday with | pegtn practios the filing of a communication with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. It was from the Dancing Teachers’ Association of San Francisco, signed by L. H. Hin- man, William J. O'Brien and T. H. Irvine. The communication set forth that the col- lection of a license tax from teachers of dancing was unconstitutional, and pro- ceeded to extol the “Boston Dip,” “The Racket,” “The Kangaroo” and the “Hula- Hula.” “The capacity to dance gracefully,” sald the Terpsichorean Triplets, “is one of the elements which go to make up a complete education; it is, in fact, of more impor- tance at the present time than many of the other fine arts, which are exempt e tirely from the license tax. San Francis- co is the only city in the United States where teachers of dancing are compelled to pay a license. Furthermore, there ex- ists in the methods used in the collection of the present license tax a deeided dis- crimination between males and females. Male teachers of dancing are obliged to pay this tax, while females who are en- nity with melancholy. Worse than the tax | | | | | DRAMA AND VAUDEVILLE “Liberty Hall” Columbia. at the IS A VERY PRETTY COMEDY THE TIVOLI PRESENTE ¢“THE BELLS OF CORNEVILLE.” “Captain Impudence” a Success at Morosco’s—The Orpheum Dis- plays a Fine Lo. of Stars. At the Chutes. “Liberty Hall,” the charming comedy drama by R. C. Carlton, was given a very cordial reception at the Columbia last night, after an absence of four years. It is a dainty, pleasing mixture of the life of the nobility and the middle class, taken from the great English metropolis, and is exceedingly interesting from beginning to end. The art of the author in depicting the methods by which the false pride of a lovable woman is gradually humbled, until she sees and appreciates life in its true light, is only equaled by the com- mendable manner in which the pretty story was told on the stage last night. The play moves quietly and smoothly from one engaging scene to another, and while the tearful predominates, there is sufficient of the cheerful to give a mel- low effect, the enjoyableness of which was attested by the generous applause accorded it. The plot is simple and con- fined almost entirely to showing the mis- fortunes and good fortunes of two noble young women, and the admirable sides of the struggling poor and the British aristocrat. The scenes in the humble home of Tod- man, the unsuccessful shopkeeper, with their effective illustration of the woes of the pinching nip of poverty and vain ef- forts to hide them, afforded excellent op- portunities for thé Frawley company to display their capabilities in another line and they did not fail to grasp them. The character of Todman, the poor, dif- fident and lovable old shopkeeper, who cares for his aristocratic relatives in their distress, showed us Theodore Roberts in a new and delightful part. It is unneces- sary to say more than that his concep- tion of the character was true to life— one worthy of high praise—and which greatly advanced him in the favor of the patrons of the house. Similar remarks would apply to the ar- tistic_ work of Madeline Bouton as the poor but haughty highborn lady. It was ner first effort here in subdued character- 1zation and the best she has thus far been seen in, earning well-deserved recalls. Edward Bell improves with acquaint- ance and was particularly acceptable as the nobleman making love in the gulse ot a commercial traveler. Miss Fanchon Campbell has an_ingenue part well suited to her talents. Mr. Burke as the coarse but ambitious shopman, Mr. Wiison as the solicitor and Louis Payne, the lisping, callow youth, were quite satisfactory. Eleanor Carey’s ideas of what constitute a_holy terror in the person of a servant of all work was everything that could be desired. Mr. FraWley part as an earnest and, despite his difii- culties, successful swain. Mr. Clarence Livingston made an spicious first ap- pearance as the hopel v lovelorn shop- boy, and should be w atisfled with his reception. In fact, every part was well done, and with its bright lines, clever settings d id changes from ghter to te; Liberty Hall” give a good account at the box office at the close of the week. Orpheum. The Orpheum was crowded to its fullest acity again last night, and by their jearty rounds of applause the audience emphasized the fact that they thought ‘well of the new bill. Some disappointment was manifest in the non-appearance of ‘Wilton and Stack. After a trip of 7000 miles from London and across the Atlan- tic and its perils, and no accident by land or water, they get into San Francisco and Almost the first turn Mr. Stack made over the horizontal bar proved his undoing. He slipped and in- jured his ankle so that he could not ap- {;eur at the Orpheum last night. He will, owever, be in form by the middie of the week, and he and his partner, M. Wilton, will appear next Sunday. f the three new turns Valmore is the novelty. After hearing him one cannot but ask what sort of a throat has the fellow. Without the ald of any artifices he imitates all sorts of musical instruments. the 'cello and a violin are exceptionauy clever. He catches the peculiar intona- tions of the instrument he is imitating with a wonderful degree of accuracy. Gil- bert and Goldie got one of the most hearty welcomes ever accorded an artist at the Orpheum. They were prime favor- ites from the start. They have an entire- 1y new line of work. Mr. Gilbert's imper- . sonation of the Hebrew who was intense- gaged in the same businessare not obliged | to pay it. If the tax is legal and consti- tutional the Collector has no right to make any discrimination in collecting it.” License Collector Bonnet flushed like a girl after a French dinner when he read the communication. He was indignant that he should be accused, even by im- plication, of making discriminations in discharging the duties of his office, and he made public the history of his connection with the matter. “This man O'Brien,” he sald, “had not pald any license for years, and as soon as I took charge of my office I made him pay. He has a big dancing class, and when he was notified that he would have to pay his license Hinman sald that T could not collect from O’'Brien. ‘The Sheriff’s office will fix O'Brien’s license,’ he added. I told Hinman that it wouldn't go, for I was going to collect it. Sure enough, two deputies from the Sheriff’s office came to me to fix it, but they could do nothing with me, and I obliged O'Brien to pay.” Hinman asked Bonnet whether he would prosecute dancing teachers who were paying no license, and he said that he would, and Hinman presented him with a list of young girls who were giv- ing dancing lessons to help support their brothers and sisters and parents. Bonnet found one of the cases to be a girl 17 vears old who was obliged to teach danc- ing in order to support her family. He re- fused to arrest these poor women, but notified them that they would have to pay the license. Mr. Bonnet expressed the opinion that the tax on teachers of dancing is uncon- stitutional. School teachers, music teach- ers, the professions and laborers cannot be taxed, and there was no valid reason that he could see why an exception should have been made in the case of dancing teachers. ————————— FRIENDS OF ANIMALS. Annual Meeting of the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty. The San Francisco Soclety for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals held its an- nual meeting yesterday afternoon in its office at 2514 Sixteenth street. The follow- ing trustees for the ensuing year were elected: N. P, Coles. Jfih?*& Jackson, H. E. Holmes, James S. Hutchinson, Lu; Wadham, C. S. Criftenden, Magm e vens, Theodore G. Gruenhagen, Frank A. Vail, Frederick A. Hyde, Robert C. Bol- ton, Hugh Tevis, Montague and Charles A. Clinton, the last four being | new members. A resolution was adopted to the effect that ‘“it is the earnest wish of the members of this soclety that the board of trustees, re-elécted at this meeting, shall continue unceasingly in all honorable efforts to secure the re- storation to the soclety of the control of the public pound. —_———————— THE CRYSTAL SWIMMING BATHS. Physiclans recommend the Crystal warm sea water tub and swimming baths, North Eeach. ly stupid on all matters except the money question was a clever piece of character work, while Mr. Goldie was not one whit behind him in presentment of the over- smart young man. Lorenze and Allen are a_ clever pair of dancers, and while they do not bring anything that is partic- ularly new to the Orpheum they do their turn so neatly that they may be excused in the matter of originality. Joseph Hart and Carrie de Mar scored another suc- cess, Mr. Hart I'ns.kinE a great hit with his “Song of Songs.” Coote and Kingsley were as funny as ever. Falke and Se- mons, the musical comedians, were re- tained in the place of Wilton and Stack. They have some new material. Mrs. Alice Shaw and daughters, Fleurette and others completed the bil Grand Opera-House. “Captain Impudence,” Edwin Milton Royle's comedy war drama, was present- ed at the Grand Opera-house last night to a well-pleased and enthusiastic audi- ence. The scene of action is during the Mexican War, and the capture of the Mexican fortifications at Chapultepec by the American forces brought down the house. A charming love story runs throughout the play, intermingled with jealousy, hate and revenge. The princi- pal parts were in capable hands and were admirably sustained. The title role was assumed by James M. Brophy, and he played it with dash and spirit. Fred J. Butler as the bluff, irascible old Major Bugg did justice to the part and gave anotier proof of his high standing in character work. The fact that Landers Stevens met with a severe disapproval of the “gods” was the best evidence that he played the villainous Mexican major to perfection. Max von Mitzel gave a clever interpretation of the devoted slave, Jim, who ruled his young master. Maud Edna Hall as Lucretia Bugg, the daughter of the regiment, again showed that in in- genue parts she is exceedingly clever and charming. Lorena Atwood scored a hit as Jovita Talamanca, with her loye and hate, and Julla Blanc as the dashing ‘Widow Trigg was bewitching. The piece deserves crowded houses for the balance of the week. Tivoli. The pretty little opera, “The Chimes of Normandy,” also called “The Bells of Corneville,” with its many charming se- lections, has again made its appearance at the Tivoli Opera House, after having been off the boards for a long time. The scenery is in keeping with the music, and the cast is as good as usual. Edwin Ste- vens deserves especial gr&!ie for the very able manner in which he enacted the dif- ficult part of Ga!gard, the miser, in the haunted Castle of Corneville. So much were his efforts appreciated that it was necess: to raise the curtain three times before_the audience would be satisfied. John J. Raffael as Henrl, the Marquis, had a fine ogpflrtunlty to show what he could do with his voice, and he did jus- tice to the music. Phil Branson as Jean the Fisherman also made a hit. Miss El- via Crox was in fine voice, but unfortun- ately Miss Helen Merrill has not been well for several days and a sore throat prevented her from doing her best. It was in the grand choruses that the com- mny showed to its full power, and for s feature, if o other, the opera is has a congenial | His imitation of | well worth attending. ‘“The Beggar Stu- dent” will be presented next week. Aicazar. The second week of “Faust” at the Al- cazar opened to a crowded house. Lewis Morrison as Mephisto was at his best and received a curtain call after each act. Frank Denithorne, as Faust, made a good impression, while Miss Roberts Jeft nothing to be desired in her presentation of Marguerite. Next Monday Lewis Mor- rison and the Alcazar stock company will present the old favorite, “East Lynne.” Chu es. One of the strongest acts ever seen in San Francisco is that of the Tokio troupe of Japanese jugglers, which opened at the Chutes Free Theater yesterday. The lit- tle brown men are proverbially clever, but these surpass anything of the kind seen in years when it comes to top-spinning, | acrobatic feats, jugglery and oriental | magic. Last night they held a large audi- ence delighted for over half an hour, and their tricks were applauded to the echo. The rest of the bill was unusually good, and the new vocalists, Dora Mervyn and May Lannon, were warmly received. Colby and Way, the “ventriloquist and the dancing doll Joe Hall, the female impersonator and dancer; and Sam Friea- lander, musical comedian, duplicated their successes of last week. The moving | pictures at the Chutes are among the best | ever shown In the city, and the constant change of views is appreciated by the pa- | trons. Cannon did not lose any of his weight or good humor at the French cele- bration, and continues to be gazed on by admirers of the immense. Olympia. The Olympia Music Hall has a b that attracted a good crowd last night. Gibson and Allen proved clever comedians and Miss Flossie Nash, the singing soubrette, ought to be a favorite. She s in_good voice and her dancing is neat and of good execution. Neat and pretty she ought to be a drawing card.
