Friends of Anna Lichter, the popular singer at the Tivoli, will be pleased to know that a change has been made and she will stayin this city for the present. The trouble with Miss Lichter arose over her refusal to attend a late rehearsal of the “Yellow Dwarf.”” She was given the customary two weeks' notice and de- clared she was not a bit sorry.

A SERIES OF BREAKDO'WNS TWO FAST OCEAN VOYAGES OUT OF THIS PORT. The Illawara Went in 48 Days to Sydney and the Cyrus Wake- field in 100 Days to New York. The Southern Pacific ferry boats are playing in hard luck. Over on the Oakland side of the bay they are fixing up the seawall, and Wednesday one of the big stones got too much impetus and rolled into the ferry slip. In consequence there was not enough water for the Berkeley, so she had to land her passengers at the seawall and lay up for a few trips until the stone was removed. 1 In the meantime the steamer El Capi tan was put on in the Berkeley's place, and for a few trips she succeeded in en- tering and leaving the slip all right. In an unlucky moment, however, her paddle wheel came in contact with the rock and as a result her shaft broke and she had to be retired. Half an hour later the rock was removed and the Berkeley re- sumed her trips.

A warrant was sworn out yesterday af- ternoon in Judge Graham's court for the arrest of August Schaffer, the proprietor of candy stores on Market street, near Sixth, and on Sixth. The complaining witness Is Lizzie Murphy, who alleges that she had been employed in Schaffer's store on Market street for the past six weeks. Yesterday morning a counterfeit half-dollar was taken in and Schaffer ac- cused her of doing it. She denied having accepted it and Schaffer discharged her. She asked far a recommendation, but he declined and demanded the key of the store from her. This she refused and Schaffer grabbed her by the throat. She screamed and he allowed her to go. She st it was thought that some of | plates had been damaged, but | returned later and Schaffer agreed to give her a recommendation if she would go with him to his store on Sixth street. They went there and Schaffer again de- manded the key, but was firmly told ‘no recommendation no key.” Schaffer be- came exasperated and threw her out of the store. e CYCLERS WILL MEET. Association to Consider Important Amendments To-Morrow Night. The first regular meeting of the new board of officers of the Associated Cycling Clubs will be held to-morrow evening in the rooms of the Cycle Board of Trade, Parrott building. President Nippert will preside and the following important amendments to the constitution, which were presented at the last meeting, will come up for consideration: Introduced by Scovern—Creating an addi- tional section to article 2 of the constitution to be known as section 1%, as follows: “In all annual events promoted by the association other than club team events, all contestants must be members in good standing on the in- dividual membership list, otherwise they will not be entitled to ride in’ such events.” Introduced by Gaines—That all amateur members of the assoclation may and shall be entitled to compete in all races (whether open or inter-club events) held under the rules and regulations of the C. A, C. C., and further, that all rules and laws in conflict with this por- vision are hereby repealed. Both of these amendments are aimed at the same target, namely, to require all competitors in association’ events to be members of the C. A. C. C., but in the Scovern resolution “other than club team events” means the omission of the relay and twenty-mile events from this pro- vision, There may be a contest. The big race meet at San Jose, which had to be postponed on New Year's day owing to rain, will be held next Sunday, January 8, weather permitting. As the roads are too muddy to assure good rid- ing, most of the contingent from this city will go down on the § a. m. train Sunday morning.

Many office holders are on the anxious seat. That “‘mistakes” were made in the | counting of the ballots has been proved, but to what extent no one at present knows. The fact that ‘‘mistakes” were made was brought to light yesterday dur- ing the count of ballots cast in the Twen- ty-eighth District, the count being in the contested election of Martin F. Fragley on behalf of R. P. Doolan, who met de- feat as a candidate for the office of Su- perintendent of Streets. The matter of the recount was taken up by Judge Hebbard at the opening of the morning session. Fragley’s counsel moved for a dismissal, which Judge Heb- bard denied, and then ordered the re- count to begin. Registrar Biggy produced the ballots of the Twenty-eighth District and work proceeded. Snap tallyists in numbers hovered round the counting ta- bles. Judge Low was present sizing up matter: Dr. C. C. O'Donnell, defeated condidate for Coroner, was represented, as were Supervisor Byington and Judge Wallace. At the close of the day’s count v had gained one. olan_gained four, leaving Fragley votes gain. It was ru- mored among the snap tallyists that May- or Phelan had gained twenty votes in the Third Preceinct of the Twenty-eighth four vote two votes District; that Maher had gained fifteen and District Attorney Murphy had lost fifteen. These rumors could not be veri- fled, however, but the alarmists enjoyed :1)\(‘ occasion. The count will go on to- ay. POISON OR GASTRITIS FROM OVER-EATING THE DEMISE CF PETER JACOB- SON TO BE INVESTIGATED. Autopsy Failed to Show the Cause of Death—The Stomach Will Be Analyzed by the Coroner. Peter Elmer Jacobson, whose parents reside 143 Howard street, died yesterday under -circum- stances which make an inquest necessary. Dr. P. A. Kearney was called in by the boy's parents at 5 o’clock on Wednesday 10-year-old boy, at | afternoon, and found him suffering with an | pains as though from an injury. He learned that the boy had hurt himself V] aying in the yard. At 9 o'clock, when the doctor called again, he found the boy in a dying condi- tion. The boy had eaten some walnuts shortly before he had been taken sick, and it was believed that he was suffering from some form of poisoning, but there were no indications of poison save the pains in the stomach. Dr. Zabala performed an autopsy on the body last evening and was unable to as- certain the cause of death. There was no indication of any injury whatever. ‘lne stomach was reserved for the chemist, who will analyze the contents to-day. Dr. Kearnev was seen last night, and said he thought there was nothing suspl- clous in the case. It is his belief that deatn might have been due to extreme gastritis. The mother says the boy had eaten a number of the walnuts which she admits were not fresh. Dr. Kearney is of the opinion that the boy gorged himself with the moldy nuts and brought about tnflammation of the stomach. —_— e ROBBED HIS BENEFACTRESS. Charles Scott, Wanted for Grand Lar- ceny, Arrested in Los Angeles. Charles Scott, a colored man, was ar- rested in Los Angeles yesterday on a dis- patch from Chief Le Scott is wanted in this city on a charge of grand larceny. Some time ago he was employed by Mrs. Gray, who lives at the corner of Pine and Jones streets, to take care of her son, who is an invalid. He had free access to the house, and on Wednesday during the tem- porary absence of Mrs. Gray he broke into the closet in which she had stored her valuables, taking $500 in greenbacks. After returning home Mrs. Gray discov- ered that the cioset had been opened, and, suspecting Scott, she went in search of him. Failing to find him, she informed the police, with the result that .~ was traced to Los Anficles and arrested. De- tective Silvey will ieave to-day to bring him back. e Will Swim and Dive.

OPENING OF THE GRAECO-RUSSIAN CHRISTMASTIOE Vesper Servicesin the Cathedral. BISHOP TIKEHON OFFICIATES CZAR'S RELIGIOUS REPRESEN- TATIVE BLESSES HIS FLOCK. Morning and Evening Programme to Commemorate the Anniversary of Christ’s Birth Arranged for To-Day. To-day Is the anniversary of the birth of the Savior, according to the teachings of the Graeco-Russian church,and as such will be commemorated in a fitting manner by the followers of that faith in this city. Special Christmas vesper services were celebrated in the Russian Cathedral on Powell street, near Filbert, last night by Bishop Tikehon, who recently arrived in San Francisco to succeed Bishop Nicholas. The Bishop and attendant priests were arrayed in their full robes of office,thatof the Bishop being purple, and the effect produced when the head of the church in this section of the world appeared from behind the gorgeous screenlike partition at the head of his richly attired assist- ants and marched down the center of the room to the little raised platform, which served as an altar, was very impressive. Arriving at the altar the priests grouped themselves about the Czar's spiritual rep- resentative, chanting a prayer, at the conclusion of which priests and congre- gation knelt while the Bishop blessed them in the name of Christ. This sol- emn proceeding formally inaugurated the services, which were of considerable length. The atmosphere was heavy with burn- ing incense, and the singing of the choir, the solemn chanting of the priests, com- bined with the pictures of martyrs and scriptural quotations which adorned the walls of the cathedral, produced a strange feeling of mingled awe and curiosity to the uninitiated stranger. At the conclusion of the services the Bishop pronounced a benediction and dis- missed the congregation. Special Christmas services will be held at 10 o’clock this morning and at 7 in the evening. The congregation of the Graeco-Rus- sian church in this city includes Russians, Slavonians, Croations and Greeks, a few Roumanians and a scattering of other nationalities or races. THE SECOND ROSENTHAL RECITAL Mozart, Chopin, Brahms and Rosen- thal were the composers represented in Mr. Rosenthal’s recital at the Metropol- itan Temple last night. Not as sensa- tional a programme as that of Tuesday night, but one stocked with valuable literature of the instrument; and, al- most needless to write, amazingly played. Again Mr. Rosenthal vindi- cated the heaps of adulatory adjectives | I 11 was “The Resurrection.” The thought toward which he was driving with all hysical earnestness was that the doc- rine of the resurrection was the very es- sence of the Gospel. The word “essence’ he had_carefully calculated to use in a tremendous epitome of his whole thought. Rising on tiptoe, he shouted: “In a nut- shell, my brethren, the doctrine of the resurrection is the very—is the very’ Alas! his chosen word ‘‘essence” was gone. He paused a second and then strode forward and shouted in thunder tones: “The doctrine of the resurrection is the very—is the very”’— The recalcit- rant was again nowhere in sight. Paus- ing once more, and mustering his physi- cal weapons for a final desperate en- deavor, he lowered his voice, but with intense earnestness, as if angry with poor absent ‘‘essence,” he again let drive: Brethren, the thought have tried to impress upon you is that the doctrine of the resurrection is the very—is the very— is the very soup of the Gospel!”—Homi- letic Review. e CLEVER FRENCH SWINDLERS. An Ingenious Trick That Was Worked for Months Without Discovery. People are talking a good deal to-day about the capture of a gang of clever swindlers, called “la bande des aristos,” as it was composed of indiyiduals of gen- tlemanly appearance, who kept to them- selves, had no dealings with other and less preten tious groups of the same char- acter, and worked on a very ambitious scale,” These men, who treated themselves without stint to titles, and who professed to be very wealthy, took note in their headquarters in this city of estates which were for sale in the provinces, and, after obtaining complete information as to the idiosyncracies of their intended victims, started bold on their campaign. One of them called, as if by the mereest chance, to look at the proverty in question, ex- plaining that he thought that it would Just suit a friend, who might wish to run down there now ‘and then. An appoint- ment was made, and in the course of a few days an accomplice appeared, in com- Pany with the original visitor, and was ntroduced as the likely purchaser. The bargain was discussed over a good dejeuner, and then it was suggested by one of the su'nnsers that so many thousand francs should be put down as a guaran- tee In the event of the buyer eventually changing his mind, a like sum being de- Posited by the seller, who would also for- feit it if he determined after all on re- taining the house and grounds. In not a few cases the proposition was gladly ac- cepted, the money was placed by the ow! er of the estate in a cash box, which, in its turn, was closed in a small portmas teau, which one of the visitors volun- teered to leave with him, and which was specially arranged for the trick. The strangers then bade their host farewell, and with many protestations of friend- ship, but as they were leaving the house the owner of the portmanteau suddenly remembered that he needed some article of clothing which it contained. The key was handed to him by the proprietor, the object mentioned remo\'eé’, and at last they were off for good*and all. ‘When the fortnight, which had been agreed upon as the interval during which the arrangement must be duly ratified, had rolled by, the would-be selier opene the cash box to find, to his horror, that it was full ef worthless paper. It was not his own, but another like it, and he had been deceived by the resemblance. Extraordinary to relate, this ingenious band had worked for months without once being baffled, the money of which it contrived to possess itself being esimated at upward of £80,000. The ringleader, a man about 35 years of age, had provided himself with a rare show of French and foreign aliases, and with a marvelous ar- ray of titles to boot. He is accused of having appropriated through these nefari- fous transactions sums varying from 3000 to over 100,000 francs, and at his aboae divers tools used for the manufacture of the wonderful valises have been discov- ered. Another, who is also charged with enriched himself under similar ons, had a fair amount of capital deposited in two banks. Six members of the gang, and a woman who lived with one of them, are now secure under lock | and key, and the police officials are be- | ing warmly congratulated on their cap- ture, which has been effected after a long and’ patient investigation.—Paris Corre- spondence London Telegraph. s Slavonic Patronymics.

He com- menced with the Mozart sonata in A major, and played it in the true Mo- zart way, delicately, fragrantly, with bouyant appreciation of its melodic charms and without the lugging in of any false dramaisms. Then he played the B flat minor sonata of Chopin with vast sonority; at times the effect was almost orchestral. No one who heard this interpretation will soon forget it. It was less emotional than Paderew- ski's, it had less of the human sob in the major strains of the funeral march and less celebration of the futility of hope in that awful, soul-racking pres- to; it was, indeed, a healthier and less harrowing version that the Pole’s; but it was terribly in earnest, a dignified, virile, masterly conception. The Chopin etude, the one whose specialty is octaves (I forgot the key and number), he gave delightful clarity and freedom, and the A flat major waltz with almost ingenuous fluency. Each of these pieces stormed the audience and was repeated. The Brahms variations on a Paganini theme and Rosenthal’s own *“Vienna Carnival” on themes by Johann Strauss were the technical sensations—the one delivered with fine elucidation of the underlying seriousness, the other whirl- ing, spinning, rushing and twisting in the sheerest bravoura, and both the summit of pianistic technique. A brace of compositions, “Romanze” and ‘‘Pa- pillons,” displayed the simple, melodic and very catchy creative gift of the player. T hope that 1\[;‘ Rosenthal wili include some more of his own work in the concerts to come. Besides to-mor- row's matinee he plays Sunday night and Tuesday afternoon.
