Tevendale and Willlam McDonald supplied the music to which Miss Sibyl Campbell performed the sword dance; Miss Maggie Boyd the Chean Trues; James Baxter the Sailor's Hornpipe, and Duncan McIntosh McKen- zie the Highland Fling. This quartet then danced the Scotch reel. The most interesting number on_the programme was the dancing of Miss Claire 1. White, aged 6, and Miss Blanche Trelease. Little Miss White, who is the daughter- of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. White, | is pronounced the best Irish step dancer | in all the West, notwithstanding her few | years. Both she and her companion were loudly applauded for their graceful work. The Exposition Band, under the direc- | tlon of Leader George Bennett, did yeo- | man duty during the evening. In addi- | tion to ‘the concert programme, they played marches for the Governor's party and for the Scots, in addition to dance music for the children.

WHAT THEY ARE. Composition éf the‘ 7Famous New Food. A widespread interest has been cre- d among good livers as to the com- position of Grape-Nuts, the new food that has co: into popular use of late. It has long been known to physicians, chemists and food experts that the starchy portion of entire wheat flour and_barley is transformed into a true and very choice sugar bv the act of intestinal digestion in the human body. al with, and is v, and it is in con- transformation Ary structure n ‘which the delicate nerve centers bullt up. A’foed expert of the Postum Cereal Co., Lim., Battle Creek, Mich., followed a’lige of experiments until he produced he_food called Grape-Nuts, of which pe-sugar forms the principal part, d it is produced by following out na- e’s processes in a mechanical, way. That- is, heat, moisture and time are the methods employed and directed by scientific facts gained in research. > Grape-Nuts are probably entitled to the claim to be the most perfectly adapted food for human needs now ex- ‘tant.

The shrill notes of the Bcotch pipes awoke the echoes in Mechanics' Pavilion st night, while Highland lads and lassies mingled with the throng of people, adding plcturesqueness to the scene and later en- | livening the proceedings with their na- tional dances. It was Scotch night at the great Irish exposition and It was, in ad- dition, Governor's, night. Governor Budd, in severe evening attire, was attended by his entire staff in full | uniform. The party included: Adjutant | General Barrett, Colonel Fred I Burgin, | Lieutenant Colonel J. R. Howell, Lieu- | tenant Colonel A. Andrews, Lieutenant Colonel George H. Pippy, Licutenant Col- onel Beck, Lieutenant Colonel Young, | and Lieutenant Colonel J. C. Kirkpatrick. They were escorted upon their arrival to the directors’ room. Here they were pre- | sented to & bevy of the prettiest girls in the fair, and the task of visiting the vari- ous booths was commenced. Each of the gallant Guardsmen did escort duty for one or more of the ladies.. The Governor, with Miss Clara Gleason on his arm, led the way. Under escort of . P. Doolan and JnnoPh M. Cu@ming they made a complete circuit of the Pa- | villon. The Governor partook of sweet- meats, drank tea in the Japanese booth, sampled coffee and had his fortune told. He was in the best of spirits, although his right “mitt” was encased in a heavy love, owing to an attack of rheumatism. §/htle in the booth, where the Irish soll i$ on exhibition he asked to be shown that from the County Galway. Later he stood on that from County Antrim, whence the family of Willlam McKinley came. The varfous Bcotch societies were strongly represented. ~Members were present from the Thistle Club, Caledo- hian Club, St. Andrews’ Society, Clan Fraser, Clan McDonald and St. Andrews’ Society of Oakland. The committee rep- resemlngvthem was composed of Hu’i!: Fraser, W. R. King, J. C. Moftatt, T. T. the rofessignal stand- | Joaquin Valley Rallway was formed the stock subscribed was placed in escrow in the hands of trustees, who are as follows: A. B. Spreckels, O. D. Baldwin, C. de Guigne, F. W. Van Bicklen, Danfel Meyer, James Cross and Thomas Brown. The stock could not be disposed &f for seven years, which was to insur# for the subscriber the integrity of the corpoption and prevent any disposition of the road. The major part of those seven years is still unrun and nothing can be done until the full expiration of that time if the officials even wished to allow an ab- sorption into another and bigger rail- way system. At a recent meeting of the officials of the Valley Rallway it was definitely de- cided that a company should be or- ganized for the building of a road southward over the mountains, Some of those on the inside then saw the ad- vantages to be derived from a pur- chase of the small blocks of outlying stock, as the extension of the line would send the shares upward at once. They displayed an inclination to gather in these shares, and the brokers were set to work. From a low figure the stock rose rapidly to 60, and even went as high as 65. It was then that the di- rectors of the road took a hand in or- der to protect the small holders who from embarrassment or impatience had determined to sell. They were coun- seled not to dispose of their stock. An arrangement was made by which the stock might be deposited with the Union Trust Company who would give the small holders an option of selling their stock at the first of the year for par value or of continuing to hold it as they saw fit. Not many shares were transferred, but the brokers were hard at work, be-~ ing commissioned bv those who knew of the intentlon of the Valley Road offi- cers to reach outward for other con- nections. The number of shares act- ually transferred according to good au- thority does not exceed 150, Reappointment of Dr. Stephens. Rev. John Stephens. who has been the pastor of Simpson Memorial Methodist | Episcopal Church of this elty for the past | three years, has been unanimously invited to return for another year. At a meeting of the fourth quarterly conference held | on Friday evening a resolution was unani- mously adopted reciting the faithful la- bors of Dr. Stephens and uklnfi Bishop Hurst _to reappoint him for another year. The California Conference will meet at Pacific Grove on the 14th inst., when the work of all the Methodist Episcopal cler- ‘men will lpa.su in review, and while some changes will be made.alnrie number will be returned to their former flelds %t labor.

MANY WERE TURNED AWAY A GOOD AND VARIED BILL PRESENTED. Del Puente, Corinne, Edith Hall, Sid- ney and Mrs. Drew, the Rossis and Others as Entertainers. The opening performance of the Al- harhbra Theater was given last’ night under very auspicious circumstances. The bright, beautiful playhouse not- withstanding its seating capacity of ‘2300 was packed to the doors with an audience representative of the best ele- ments of the city and was a striking proof of the fact that vaudeville has gained a great following in this city. The crush to obtain admittance was something unequaled here for several years and hundreds who went expect- ing to procure tickets found to their chagrin that none were to be had. Ow- ing to the size of the crowd and the fact that every one wanted to get in t the same time there was considerable ticket holders. However, there were no complaints, and the occasion passed pleasantly. Af- ter a short speech’ of explanation and programme began with the Toreador song from ‘‘Carmen’ Puente, which won an emphatic encore. | He has a deep, rich voice under perfect | control, and did better than could have been expected under the circumstances. The f{llusionist, Mons. de Villiers, is very clever at legerdemain, but could greatly improve his act by curtailing his discourse and putting more snap into his turn. This he will doubtless do during the remainder of his engage- ment. Corinne was given a cordial recep- tion. It is evident that the young lady has fared well in her absence, for she has added perceptibly to her physical | charms. She sang in her old, pleasing manner, first in conventional costume, and on a recall appeared without the skirts, displaying a figure calculated for the first row in the grand ballet. Her performance on the mandolin was wealth of flowers. Powers and Hyde, song and dance and cake-walk artists, gave a very clever act and were recalled several times. Dainty little Edith Hall was given a good old-fashioned, rousing reception, and charmingly entertained her au- ditors with singing and dancing. On her account, also, the florists are pos- sessed of much more wealth. The Rossi brothers are expert con- | tortionists and very amusing. The gem of the evening was a real screaming farce played by Sidney and Mrs. Drew, entitled “When Two Hearts | | Are Won.” It is sharp and effervescent |as ginger pop and was piayed to per- fection. It kept the house in a roar from start to finish, and is alone worth the price of admission. John Byrne, the monologue man, is an odd feature and had a deal of fun with the audience before making his retiring bow. The Harpers, colored comedy artists, did an gntertaining turn, and the bill was foncluded by the | singing of “The Star-Spangled Banner” | by Del Puente in magnificent style, the audience joining in the chorus. The Alhambra management are de- serving of great credit for the manner in which their initlal presentation was made, and the new home of vaudeville begins its career under most encourag- ing condition POLICE CAPTURE DESPERATE CRIMINALS A BLOOD-STAINED BLACK-JACK MAY CO?VICT THEM . Caught With Plunder in Their Pos- session—Believed to Be Old Offenders. The police believe that in Frank Har- rison, allas Oscar Peterson, and John Mechan they have the two footpads who have committed many midnight hold-ups during the past month. They base their belief on the fact that a murderous black-jack stained with blood and covered with the hair of some victim was found in their posses- slon. The men also fit the description given by Lewls Mattsl of 131 Third street, who was held up by a tall and a short man on the evening of August 80 and robbed of a small sum. Mattsi is now in bed suffering from the effects of the blow received on the head from an instrument in the hands of one of his assailants. Peterson and Meehan were captured on Thursday last by Officers Lynch and Conlin. The night before a shoe- store at 959 Howard street was broken into and robbed of eight or nine pairs of shoes. The prisoners- were seen coming from the store, and when they gpied the policemen they dropped their plunder and ran. The next day the men were seen on the street wearing some of their ill- gotten plunder. They were removed to the tanks and an examination of their room at 1046 Folsom street disclosed the hair-covered black-jack and a lot of saws and carpenter tools, the property of W. H. Richardson, 4227 Twenty- fourth street. A skeleton key was also found by Detectives Ryan and O'Dea, who were detailed on the case. Both men were identified by Mrs. Suits, who rented them the room on Monday last. The men are well-known offenders. Peterson was arrested by Detective Ryan on December 8, 1897, for till-tap- ping. He and a “pal” a few days prior to that time entered a bakery at 1120 Folsom street, and after knocking the women in charge down, took $5 out of the till and escaped. Meehan was twice convicted on simi- lar charges and has been imprisoned in San Quentin. Both men were booked for burglary. —_—————— Catholic Ladies to Hold Council.

THREATENS TO BREAK HIM ACCUSED OF GIVING INFORMA.- TION TO THE CALL. The Astute Captain of the Central Station Shows His Temper in a Decided Mauner. “Cold-Feet” Wittman imagines he has a clew. Anxious to pose as a clever sleuth he started out with the fixed determination of finding the man who so basely be- trayed the department as to tell the story of how he had arbitrarily assessed his subordinates to buy swords for him- self and sergeants. After reading the story in The Call he of the cold feet and clammy shake summoned his trusted lleutenants and in. a tearful voice declared that there was a traitor in the camp. “It behooves us to establish his iden- tity,” he remarked. “The time has ar- |rived when the squealer should be | | driven from our midst. I have a clew {and intend to run the scoundrel to | earth.” | *“You're all right, captain,” chorused | the gang. “We'll get him even at the risk of our lives.” This so pleased Wittman that he brought forth.a box of choice cigars and handed it around. “Enjoy yourselves, boys,’” remarked the astute captain placing his cold foot against the warm stove, “smoke up and | then seek the scalp of the enemy, who | | has so basely betrayed us.” “We're dead next,” again piped the crowd of subordinates. “We'll do him or die.” The following day Wittman received sufficient information to convince him | that he was right in his surmise. Ap- | pearing before the watch that evening, | his face wreathed in smiles, he spoke of the proposition to assess the officers 50 | cents each to purchase swords for him- | self and sergeants. “It is a grand idea,” he remarked. “You all should feel proud to walk be- | hind your superior officers with their | glittering swords and natty uniforms. | While T fully realize that the members of the department heartily indorse the | movement, vet there is one man who | T am sorry to say has taken it upon | himself to ridicule the proposition, even to the extent of giving it to a news- paper. “I want to say right here,” continued | Wittman, his face assuming an angry scowl, “ that if the man to whom I refer should tender me the 50 cents, the | amount of the assessment, I would fling | it in his face. I do not intend to make | his identity known just at present, but | In some future day he will hear from me.” ‘Wittman refuses to give the name of the policeman whom he accuses of ‘“‘basely betraying the department.” He, however, admits that he has it In for him simply because he had the temerity to criticise the rather galling proposi- tion to assess the members of the de- | partment to buy swords for himself and | his sergeants. It is not unlikely that the suspected officer will shortly find himself out of a job, a victim of Cap- tain Wittman’s wrath. Express Companies Make a Denial.
