They estimated that the gravel deposit was probably fifteen to_twenty feet in depth and that the ground was fairly rich.

Nothing new was revealed at the quest held by Coroner Hill yesterday morning upon the body of Marcine Bur- dick, who was found asphyxiated in a room in the Commercial Hotel last Thurs- morning. D. McLaughlin, ~night porter of the hotél; Louis Witney, a waiter out of work, and Dr. Zabala were the only witnesses examined. Coroner Hill announced that Chemist in- | bright star and Charles A. Ellis the proud and happy impresario, has I arrived. San Francisce is on the “qui vive” of anticipation. The in- terim between now and to-morrow evening will drag slowly, and the long whetted appetites of the music-loving public will be but the keener for wait and discussion of the treat in store. The first production is to be “Faust’—with a Melba Interpretation—under the direction of Seppilli. Every seat has been sold. 10 o'clock yesterday morning when the long special train with the famous artists aboard rolled onto the Oakland mole. It was composed of including the Campania, aboard Including the stars, male and fe- the It w eight coaches and two baggage cars which was Mme. Melba and her part male, and the chorus, there were 180 people aboard the train. They ap- peared fresh and happy, and for the most part were well groomed. They gathered in congenial circles and discussed the forbidding fog that hung over the bay and city in six different languages. Madame Melba chatted pleasantly about her last visit here, and it 1s needless to say she used pure, simple Anglo-Saxon speech. Prominent, rushing here and there herding together his living musical boxes, was Wil- liam Parry, the veteran stage manager who has to his credit twenty-five vears of arduous service under Mapleson, and who fills a similar capacity with the Ellis Opera Company. “We had a delightful trip,” said Mr. Parry in answer to the inquiry as to how the company stood the journey from Denver. “Everybody slept well and has had a good breakfast.” “Don’t they look clean and happy and the stage manager motioned to the company, which he was quietly driving into the ferry-boat. “You see, the train is a traveling hotel. We have had sleepers and din- ing cars all the way through—in fact, every convenience of home. An hour after their arrival the galaxy of stars were snugly at home at the Palace. There were no signs about the hotel that the artists had ar- rived—that is, no immediate signs—but a glance at the patchwork chirog- raphy that graced the pages of the hotel register told a different story. The combination of tongue-twisting cognomens made the pages of the register look like score-sheets from some grand opera. There was Melba, Gadski, De Lussan, Olitzka, Mattfeld, Chalia, Van Cauteren, Bonnard, Pandolfini, Bensaude, Boudouresque, Seppilli, De Vries, Stehmann, Van Hoose, Del Sol, Cass, Rains, Fried, Rosa and Viviani. The press cards that were sent up to brought forth a various assortment of replies. Mme. Melba could not possi- biy be visible to the naked eye of the reporter until late in the afternoon; Mile. de Lussan was too fatigued to even consider an interview under twenty- four hours’ rest, while Mme. Gadski, like the genial and sturdy German that she is, sent word that ‘“there is no time like the present. Come up and I will say my little say.” Frau Johanna Gadski possesses an appearance that impresses one. Her physique indicates her wonderful vocal strength. Her throat is large and beautifully developed, while her bust shows clearly whence comes the power that makes her volce so rare. She converses pleasantly, and with a de- licious German accent. Her husband and child are with her. Mme. Gadski is happy to visit California, of which she has read much and heard more. She hopes to make many friends during her stay here, and regrets that she will not sing in the German. However, the Italian and French roles she is sure will give her abundant opportunity. As an artist Mme. Gadski, who has long been the most gifted of all Ger- man lyric sopranos, is well known. Her career with Damrosch made her an idol of the Americans, and in her class she is without a rival. All of the artists are anxious to make a favorable impression here. Bon- nard, the French tenor, and Pandolfini, the Italian; Rosa Olitzka, the con- tralto; Mme. Rosa Chalia, soprano; Marie Mattfeld, one of the rising younger mezzo sopranos, and in fact all of the artists express themselves as anxious to know the public of San Francisco. At 3 o'clock, when word came down from Mme. Melba's apartments to the effect that she could be seen, Charlie Ellis piloted up the representatives of the press. It Is on the third floor, facing on New Montgomery street, that the great prima donna is temporarily at home. ' A knock at her door inter- rupted a soft accompaniment on the plano and caused a cessation of that di- vine melody that has charmed the world. “Come in and be seated. You hav caught me rehearsing a new song. Tt is by Tosti and entitled ‘Invano.’ I am going to sing it for the first tim~ in public when I appear in the ‘Barber of Seville.’ ” It was the same genial, hap- py Melba that San Franciscans know." Her parlor was a garden of roses and violets, and she looked the ¢ueen flower of them all as she stood in the center of the room, clad in some dreamy veivet creation. “Are you all seated?” and Madame Melba gazed inquiringly around. Weil, I am glad to see you again and happy to be back in San Francisco, of which I carried away such pleasant memories last year. Look at the flow- ers that have been sent. Isn't it a royal welcome to receive from one's friends? I love flowers like I do my art.” Then Madame Melba burled her face in a huge bunch of violets. When she emerged again she picked up the conversation and showered smiles right and left. “It must be nice to be a newspaper man, but I should not like to be a critic. 1 hope you people are not critics.” There was a chorus of instant de- nials. “‘Oh, then, truly, I am delighted to see you, just as much so as I am to get back to your lovely climate.” So on for a half hour Madame Melba chatted, without a single reference to her art. Suddenly she remembered Charlie Ellis had promised to take her over to the opera house, and she graciously begged to be excused, and as the party left she stood in her doorway and waved a good-by. “Come and hear me Monday night,” were her last words, and the reporters smiled back and mentally calculated that if they did they would have to do without car fare for the next year.

Mrs. Lord Explains Why She Paid "VOVEN EGYPTIAN No Particular Attention to Her Daughter’s Be- trothal. There was more joy in the Rodgers- Nagle case yesterday. Judge Mogan lis- tened to a long array of witnesses whose testimony only added to the brilliant rec- ord of Attorney Nagle when in an intox- icated condition. Mrs. Rodgers, the fair milliner, who claims she was the affianced wife of the attorney and then threw him over, ex- plained in her cross-examination that she had never thought much of the ability of her ex-fiance as a lawyer and that she only consulted him in regard to legal affairs in very small matters. Mrs. Lord, the mother of Mrs. Rodgers, added to the many qualifications of the gentleman ' who S have been her son-in-law by testifying that he was in the habit of taking brandy and constant- ly and also was addicted to holding ani- mated conversations with himself. During the trial Nagle sat at his attor- ney’s elbow and prompted him. His re- marks were frequently so emphatic that Judge Mogan was obliged to call the prosecution to order. Some new testimony was brought out in the_cros mination of Mrs. Rod- gers. It was demonstrated to the satis- faction of the court that ring No. 7 was a neat fit for the falr divorcee's finger and that the me lucky number was gle digit with difficulty recalling the church incident M corrected her former testimony red that Nagle was not “hold- ENGLISH GALATEA (32 inches wide)..

And 8o it was that I never went with him_to make public our engage- ment.” Nagle's record as a most im- pulsive lover was established when the lady declared that she had gone to a place of amusement with Mr. Fee and how the next day she received a message from Nagle, who declared that the fact of her being at the theater with another man had kept him awake all night. Mrs. Lord, mother of the defendant, testifled_in detail of the many drunken visits of the attorney and how he had told her that if Mrs. Rodgers did not bind her fate to his he would have her heart's blood and then Kill himself. “Mr. Nagle said to me,’ testified the s m, u3, us, uT, U9, 121 POST STREET. s, “that he was a lawyer and a very prominént man, and would not allow any one to throw him over.” As to the ring that plays so prominent a role i the case.
