Several vears ago, when Chris Buckley was run- ning Demoeratic politics to suit himself, he had for Poundmaster Jake Lindo, and so many complaints were made of the manner in_which he conducted the office that the Republican Board of Supervis- | | ors of eight years ago took the institu- | and gave it over to the care of the society named. | Modern and humane methods of im- pounding stray and homeless animals | were adopted and a sclentific and pain- | | 1 nner of destroying these animal W was effected. The animals' home and its furnishings cost many thousands of dollars. For seven years the Public Pound was conducted in a manner satis- | factory to the people, and never a com- | plaint ‘was made.

The members of the Stanford eleven who were very attentive spectators of the match between the Olympics and Califor- nia on Saturday returned to Palo Alto with mingled emotions of hope and gloom; the blue and gold went back to their na- tive heath none too elated. Perhaps the nardest practice ever known in the history of the game on this | | coa | elevens until they quit and rest on their past efforts for the will mark the work of the college annual encounter. The practice games on the California campus will be of a better order than most match games. To strengthen the “scrub” eleven Cochran, Cadwallader and Plunkett will be enrolled and will play against the big team every night. The graduate players who have been coaching the team this year will also find them- selves in the line fighting the prize eleven for touchdowns. With this opposition the flercest and most grilling work will be forced upon the team which will represent the University of California on the 24th. The game on Saturday did not please Cochran, California’s coach. He antici pated a blue and gold victory and disa, pointment was his store when the Olym- pics scored. For this reason he will keep the team at harder work. It is his inten- tion to have open practice, during which the team will be put lhruugh all the ey lutions to be used In the big game. Se- cret practice will not be a part of the reg- | ular schedule at California. At Palo Alto conditions are the reverse. Toward the end of the week the team will leave for Congress Springs, at which place secret practice will be most rigidly pursued. Not even the students of the university will be allowed on the prac- tice grounds at the springs. For the last two vears the cardinal eleven has Yol- lowed the plan of isolated practice during the last few days before the final strug- gle.

A meeting of the stockholders of the Hale & Norcross Mining Company will be held at 1 o'clock this afternoon to dis- cuss the affairs of the company and the distribution of the money recently re- ceived by judgment of the court, but when all the expenses have been paid there will not be much left for.the stock- holders. The amount paid _to the Union Trust Company by Hayward & Boj to satisfy the judgment was $297,000. Of this amount, ‘when atjorney‘s fees amounting to $75,000 and othér expenses have been deducted, there will only be about $17,000 left, and this divided among 112,000 shareholders will mean a very low value for the shares. | It is expected that there will be a warm time at.the meeting, and an effort will be made to find some means of reducing the expenses. STRANGE STORY TOLD BY A CHINESE SLAVE SHE SAYS THAT HARRY HUFF IS ONE OF HER OWNERS. Huff Is a Favorite Employe of Chief Meredith of the Chinese Bureau. How Yook, a Chinese slave girl who es- caped from a disreputable house last Monday and took refuge in the Methodist Chinese Mission Home on Washington street, has told the matron a strange story to the effect that Harry Huff, who is at times employed by Chief Meredith as interpreter in the Chinese Bureau, was the owner of a Chinatown house of disre- pute and of an Interest in.more than one slave girl. She says that two years ago she was stolen by & gang of men near Canton and shipped to San Francisco. Bhe was in- structed by her captors to swear that she was the daughter of Chan Jook, and that she was a native of SBan Francisco. The highbinders, on her arrival here, furnish- ed the necessary witnesses, and she was landed without any trouble, She was told by Wong Jue, her keeper, that Harry Huft, known by the inmates of the house as Qui Koon, “the Master,” had a half Interest in her and another girl. Just be- fore the rald was made bz’ the Federal officials last September, she says, Huff came to the house and told the inmates of the contemplated raid. He secreted her and another girl in a family house on Commercial street, where they remained until the end of the search. It will be remembered that Huff was employed by Chief Meredith to accom- the ralders as interpreter. is frequently employe by Meredith with the knowledge of the Collector to act as inter- preter. After the escape of Fung Suey Wan' it was a common report in China- town that Harry Huff had dressed her in the clothing of a white woman and, plac- ing her between two white women, put her on board the China bound steamer, It is expected that the speclal agent of the Treasury will investigate the story of the slave girl, the matter being within his domalin, for the reason that Huff is an employe of the Government and s on the rolis as a “laborer.” Huff makes a general charge. CHANGES AT THE GRAND. The Old Theater Will Once Again Be a First-Class Opera House. The management of the Grand Opera House has completed the nlans for the remodeling of that nopular place of amusement and promises that by March 6 it will shine forth in all the beauty of its new clothes. All the old seats which have done duty so many years will be relegated to the rubbish heap, complete new scemery will be introduced and the walls will be newly painted and frescoed. The old-fashioned boxes must also go and will be replaced by new and modern ones and a row of loge boxes will be placed around the first balcony. The house will close in February and the grand opening will be on March 6 with Melba and a company of 160. The denial of the prices will be so arranged as to place the attractions within the reach of all, al- though there will be some high-priced vorce, alleging faflure to provide as a I seats.

J S{TETTE! I AICH WITH FUN AND TONE Performance ' Needs Better D/ e::ion. CRANE PLAY AT THE ALCAZAR BALDWIN AND COLUMBIA OF- FER THE SAME BILLS. Many New Turns at the Orpheum. Melodrama at the Comedy, California and Mo- rosco’s. By to-night or to-morrow night the Tivoll company will be giving a better performance of Oscar Weil's “‘Suzette” than was given last night. This is not to say that some hits, individual and ensemble, were not made last night, nor that the charm of the plece was ever completely disguised, but the per- formance was not at all representative of the Tivoll company, which with its present personnel is one of the clever- est comic opera organizations in Amer- ica. There were hitches galore last night: mangled lines, long stage waits and cues that never came; and the stage management was loose and scrambling. One didn’t need to see George Lask out in front sitting with the laity to know that he had been away to gay New York and had had no hand in the staging. Mr. Lask has been a good and faithful master at the Tivoli, and no doubt he needed a va- cation as much as the Tivoll needed him to go East and look up the season’s noveltles; but after what he and I and a thousand other good persons saw last night I hope that he will take off his | coat early this morning and call the | company to discipline, because ‘‘Su- zette” is worth the best that can be given it. “guzette” is a comic opera of the good old type, with a book full of trust- ful fun. a heroine that wears male clothing and music that is good enough | to be taken seriously, and is yet so easy and amiable that it fits any mood you may bring to bear on. it. “Suzette” was, I understand. sung here by the Bostonians some nine or ten years ago. My nurse didn’t take me to hear it then, so last night's show was entirely new to me. Any comic opera ten years of age that can be entirely new to you and pleasing and full of fun and color and tinkling with the tonic of spon- taneous melody is worth praising. You would even praise a new plece that of- fered the same qualities. “‘Suzette” was to me a lovely bottle that never before had been uncorked. It was fuil of fizz and bouquet and elation and tran- quillity—although as I hinted before the cork might have been removed with more elegance and certainty. 1 shall not attempt to revise the “ar- gument,” which you will find printed | in your programme and boiled down in | last Sunday's Call. The young woman’s change of raiment is accounted for quite satisfactorily; it is really a relief to know that she did not do it of her| own accord. And you can’t help but applaud the ingenious way in which she works the old tricks so as to get the facetions marquis into her cast-off gown. And when finally she sells him | his own trousers the revenge is comic# and complete. So far as the book goes the first act is a bit scrappy. In it are any number of songs and very little action to ac- | count for them. But the other two are | more in unity, the music pointing the situation with fine effect. ! If Mr. Weil had not written other operatic work and some of the best of our American songs the score of “Su- zette” alone would stamp him a musi- | cian of culture and individual expres- slon. It is clean, lithe and symmetri- cal, polished in every detail, and never banal, and yet so simple and free in melody and treatment that a child might listen and enjoy. I think I could have had a good time with “Su- zette” ten years ago. Howéver, as we didn’t meet in childhood’s happy hour 1 am denied the privilege of comparing the Tivoll and the Bostonian produc- tions. But the Tivoll will hold its own in a night or two, I am sure. It was the movement and the spoken text that went awry last night more than the singing. Miss Lichter was one who both acted and sang Wwith comfort. Mr. Pruette was almost another. She was Suzette and he the Marquis. The rest were not cer- tain enough for Tuesday morning com- pliments. ASHTON STEVENS. Alcazar. It was a goodly house In point of num- bers that looked upon the story of “A Fool of Fortune”; it was a sympathetic ouse that wept at the downfall of that mpossibly honest Wall street firm, Cun- ningham & Lloyd; it was a merry house | that laughed at the love making of the impossible Count de Cluny, and it was a very, very kind house that bore in ra- | tienca the too frequent, but, alas, too nec- essary, sibilant suggestions of the over- | worked prompter. It grieves the critle to say that some of the best scenes in a spléndid play were marred by repeaicd prommlng in the most intense pngsa-;ge:. but that dereliction was amply atoned for by the excellent and well balanced act-| ing of the company. 4 G’Illnce Bhawp as the Elisha Cunning- ham of the piece added new lausels to his | reputation as a careful and painstaking actor.

The New Comedy Theater was crowd- ed last night when Lincoln J. Carter's comedy drama, “Under the Dome,” was | presented. The scenery is magnificent | and the scene deplcting the results of the awful hurricane at Apia Harbor, Sa- moa, in 1889, when three Go;u\ and three American battleships were wrecked, aroused the wildest enthusiasm in the au- gence. The company is evenly balanced. | ert Morrison, in the part of the hero, Ned Langmuir, a sailor, did remarkably well, considering the fact that he had only' one rehearsal, and scored a distinet | success. He made his debut in this city about eighteen months ago, and since then has made rapid progress in his ‘fix"&- sidine, the heroine, ‘was charming and showed that she is possessed of stron dramatic force. Harry B. Sutherlan and Madeline Hunt not only played their parts well, but in their specialties won the well merited applause of the audl- ence. The play should have crowded houses during the week. Morose ¥’s. “A Midnight Trust,” a strong piece In the line of melodrama, is on this week at Morosco's. The play is splendidly mounted and ragny sensations are woven in the plot. Marie Winson, the new sou- brette, is a success. _She is pretty, en- gaging and clever. Her song, "My Ho- nolulu’ Queen,” in which two boy vo- calists in the gallery joined in the chorus, was encored several times. James Brophy, as the hero, was the admired of the audience. Lorena Atwood, as Clare Dudley, and Harry Alysham gained approval by their clever "acting, while Landers Stephens, the villain, pfi'\yed bis part well. Little Venie Wells of “First Born” fame distingunshed herself in the dual role of Mare’ and Bertie. The drama was generously interspersed with speciai- ties which were well received. Orpheum. There was almost an entire change of bill at the Orpheum last night—six new turns—all of which was well received. A special hit was scored by Harry Lacy and Miss Van Biclin in a sketch by the sensa- tional title of “‘Bob Racket's Pajamas.” Flo Irwin and Walter Hawley did_ well, too, in “The Gay Miss Con,” and the Flood brothers gave a remarkable exhi- hition of acrobatic skill. Herbert's troude of twenty-two trained dogs is one of the best animal attractions ever offered at the Orpheum. The Baldwin. “Mlstakes Will Happen " will run all week &t the Baldwin, giving way to “‘Se- cret Service,”” an American play of inter- national success. Columbia. Kellar entered his second week last night before an interested and mystified ;uidll‘ence. He exploited several new ricks.

In thousands of such cases the wife might still be alive and well and happy, had the man been not only a good husband, but a wise adviser. Women sbrink from the ordeal of comsulting a physician. They shudder at the thought of ‘submitting to the obnoxious examina- tions insisted upon by most phglicifln!. In the majority of cases they have none of this hesitancy about conmsulting their husbands. A wise mam will understand at soon break down a woman’s general health. He will understand that a specialist of emi- nence and world -wide reputation should be frankly consulted at once. Dr. R. V. Pierce, for thirty years chief consulting physician to the Invfigs’ Hotel and Surgical Insti- tute, at Buffalo, N. Y., is one of the most eminent and widely-known specialists in the world. With the assistance of a staff of able physicians, he has prescribed for many thousands of ailing women. He has discovered a wonderful medicine for wo- men, that may be used in the privacy of their homes. It is known as Dr. Pierce’s Pavorite Prescription. It cures surely, cedily and permanently,all weakness an :!uue of the distinctly feminine organism. It ellays inflammation, heals ulceration, fession.
