Secretary Frank Kane was the first to An incident that happened yes- the di vesterday. He secured warrants for | st of M. Kollman of 848 Kearny et and M. 8. Levy at 415 Kearny street. The warrants were procured on the charge that these men were violating Order No. 282 of the General Orders of the Board of Supervisors. This order prohibits the exhibition of ~indecent pic- | tures, and as Secretary Kane has what he deems is sufficient evidence against the arrested men, he hopes to secure a con- viction. He has, in his personal investi- gation, seen enough to become an im- portant witness as well as an accuser.

It is located in th district over which Captain Wittman e ercises an_ alleged vigilance. Wittman has permitted the place to exist for months in flagrant violation of the law, and even after his attention had been called to it he saw no reason to take ac- tion. Acting under orders from Polica Captain Spillane, Officers Tyrrell and Esola also made a raid, armed with warrants for Peter Bacigalupi, the panderer and chief, and M. Kollman and John Carroll, whose eeding shop is at 724 Market street. These three places are the only ones within the police district governed by Po- lice Captain Spillane. But Kollman and arroll were arrested, but Bacigalupi could rot be found. He was reported to have left the city, but will be arrested as on as he returns. The police are acting In_their arrests upon the authority given in Order 1387, Section 20, of the General Orders of the | Board of Supervisors, This order is simi- lar in intent to No. 225, although Secri tary Kane belleves that convictions m; be more easily obtained under No. 2825 than under No. 1587. The examination of the arrested men will be held this morn- | ing. | " 1s a matter of incidental interest per- haps that Bacigalupi has recently gone | further in his effrontery than ever be- | fore. He sought and almost obtained | the right to make his establishment even | more offensive to the public than it is by displaying a great illuminated sign. Mayor Phelan and the Supervisors, at the | of the board vesterday, celed a permit granted to Bacigalu | the last meeting, to erect an advertising front of his ‘phonograph par- resolutions in a mechanical way, but this | one attracted the attention of his Honor | the Mayor. ‘“Read that again, please,” he sald. When the resolution had been read he said: “I desire to call the atten- tion of the board to this resolution. It | grants one Bacigalupi, proprietor of a right to erect an attractive sign such as the theaters have. “He wants to advertise a lewd picture show. What Is the pleasure of the board | in_this matter?” | Many members objected to the granting of the privilege. A motion made by Su- carried unanimously. The proposed ad- vertisement will not be displayed. It is not by any means the intention of the authorities to stop in the work they have so well begun. While the arrest and conviction of the shopkeepers will do much to cripple the disgusting traf- fle, against which complaint has been | made, something more thorough must be done before the trade In vice ig destroyed. There s not the slightest doubt that the vicious machines, the ‘“artoscopes,” “mutoscopes” and ‘“vitascopes,” may be condemned and confiscated. It is the pur- pose of the authorities to seize these ma- chines and make their owners fight for them. In all of the establishments lewd and ribald songs are ready for the phono- graph and are subject to confiscation. When the authorities commence this cru- sade it will be the beginning of the end of the depraving business. After the attack has been completed upon the source of the evil, raids will be made upon the saloons and resorts among which the vile machines are scattered. Tvery week the subjects are changed in these machines and with each succeeding week the moving pictures become more daringly suggestive. The police intend to drive these machines out of the sight of decent men. Above all other things is it the purpose of the authorities to clear Market street of its vulgar evils { that nightly outrage the senses of citi- zens and shock pedestrians with displays of vice and immorality. A Business-Like Burglar. John Haley, an ex-cénvict, was ar- rested yesterday and booked at the City Prison on a charge of burglary. On January 9 he drove up to a grocery at Sixth and Bryant streets and got the key to a vacant house at 421 Bixth street, as he said he was a plumber and had been sent to re?alr the copper boller. | He stole the bofler and since then the | police had been searching for him. He | made it a practice to drive around with | a horse and wagon and steal anything he could from vacant houses. Some years | ago he was sent to the State prison | for robbing a man at Tenth and Bryant | streets. | ———————————— Sent to Agnews.

BALANCE GOES TO CREDITORS | CURRENT FUNDS MUST NOT BE INTERFERED WITH. If Tradesmen Do Not Wish to Aczept the Teachers’ Terms the Fight ‘Will Be Inaugu- rated. The teachers have thrown down the gauntlet and are out making terms them- H selves. They have refused the compromise | submitted by the merchants and have submitted a plan of their own which, it | has been reported, is acceptable to the | other side; should it not prove so0, how- ever, they will fight in court or out of it, on the balance for the past six months or | on the money for the months to come. | The meeting called for yesterday after- noon attracted several hundred teachers, the session being in the auditorium of the iGlrla' High School. It was for the pur- | pose of taking deflnite action on the ques- “ tion of compromise, and the action taken | was definite enough for anybody. A substitute for the plan offered by the merchants was submitted and was adopt- ed in the form of three resolutions. They | were as follows: Resolved, That the committee on litigation be and is hereby directed to dismiss the | litigation so far as the payment of the so- called merchants’ claims ‘are concerned, pro- - That there be no assignment of teachers' cla; That the holders of the merchants’ claims agree not to collect the same out of the moneys { provided for the last six months of the fiscal vear, 3—That if the terms of compromise in ac- cordance with the provisions of this resolu- tion cannot be made, that the committee be and s hereby directed to prosecute the pend- | ing litigation and to take such further legal | steps as may be necessary. These resolutions were not all adopted at the same time. The first two were brought up by themselves and were passed and then the last was considered. | It was suggested that instead of settling | the matter right then and there it would be better to have the committee report back to the teachers and then allow them to decide on further proceedings, but it was finally decided to place the committee |in a position to give the merchants a | definite {dea as to the stand of the teach- | ers in the matter. The meeting opened with an explanation | by F. H. Clark of the Lowell High School a8 to matters which had been investigat- | ed and information which had been ob- | tained since the previous meeting. It was | shown by him and by subsequent speak- ers that’ the letters received from the Auditor, Treasurer and President of the Board of Education were written under a | misapprehension, and communications | from the three officials were read to show the view they had come to take of tha | situation. Auditor Wells wrote to say | that he would support the board in its endeavor to secure to the two coming months their full share of the half of the year's appropriation. The board contended that it was en- titled to one-half of the year's appropria- | tion to run the school department from | January to July. I J. Truman, Treas- | urer, wrote to say that when he 'had ad- | vised that the teachers accept the offer of | the merchants he believed it referred to | the $35,000 balance from the last half of the fiscal vear, instead of the funds for the current half as well. He declared | that under such circumstances the teach- ers should never compromise. President Bergerot wrote that he, too, had misun- derstood the terms of the compromise, and so he would withdraw his recom: | mendation that they accept, in view of | the increased importance which the mat- ter had taken in his eyes, and he would not take the responsibility of advising them. : A resolution was adopted requiring the | 11tigation committee to make a report | upon its finances and also If there is any- | thing due. The resolution at the same time pledged the teachers to pay prompt- Iy _all that may be owing. On motion it was decided to fill the va- cancy on the litigation committee made by the resignation of Professor Lyser, and Mr. Clark was proposed. Under the formation of the committee, however, the only one eligible was a grammar school | teacher, and Mr. Clark was of the High | School.” Mre. L. K. Burke, principal of | the Columbia School, was therefore added to the committee. Loses Her Position. Judge Hunt denied a motion for a new | trial in the case of Elizabeth P. Bradley | against the Board of Education yester- | day. Miss Bradley sought to be rein- stated in the School Department as a special teacher of drawing, but the court Tefused to reinstate her, holding that the School Board had authority to abolish | all speclal classe | PICNICKERS IN COURT. | Aftermath of the &)enmg Day of the Season at Schuetzen. Several participants in the opéning ple- nic of the season at Schuetzen Park Sun- day made their appearance in the Police | Courts yesterday, but the Judges were | lenient with them and they were dis- charged. Richard Eagan and James Murphy, two husky youths, quarreled about the tem- | porary companionship of a young girl at the picnic, but they did not come to blows till they reached Third and Mission streets on their way home. Murphy was getting the worst of the fight when Policeman Menthan happened along and placed both under arrest for disturbing the peace. In Judge Conlan’s court yesterday morning they refused to divulge the name of the voung girl, and as they shook hands and agreed to be friends the Judge dismissed the case. S. Field, a painter from Stockton, wag also at the picnic with Emma Held and Nellle Dohen{'.' It was proved by the two women-that Field had thrown a $10 old plece on the counter at the park for grlnks and the bartender nearly fainted at the sight of so much coin. The Judge thought it was lucky for Field that he got back to the city in safety after recklessly displaying so much weaith. e charge against Field was for steal- ing $24 from Emma Meyer, Bush | strect. He had called upon Miss Meyer Sunday morning and she rushcd the “growler.” After Field departed she al- leges that she missed the $24 and sus- pected him of taking it. When she learned that Field had displayed a $10 gflld plece at the picnic her suspicions were con- | firmed and she had him arrested. Field | declared that the $10 plece was his own E:nperty. and the Judge gave him the nefit of the doubt and dismissed the case. Struck by a Car. James Burns, the driver of a dirt cart, was seriously injured last evening. Burns was driving along Folsom street and when near Sixth his cart was run into by an electric car. Burns was thrown from his seat, sustaining a laceration of the forehead and a deep cut over the left eye. One of his ribs was also fractured. He was taken to the Recelving Hospital, where his injuries were dressed by Po- lice Surgeon Weill. —_—— ‘Will Marry To-Day. Frederick A. Driscoll and Katheryn M. Poulson will be married to-day. Driscoll is a prominent young druggist of this city, but for some reason has endeavored to keep his coming marriage secret. The li- cense was obtained on the 1st inst. and to- day will see the ceremony performed. —————— Combs, tooth, hair and clothes brushes, , at Banbo Vall's, 741 Market street.

CUT RATES AT THE GRAND BOSTONIANS HAPPILY REVIVE “THE SERENADE.” ‘Wilder, Kara and Josephine Gassman Score Big Hite in a Splendid Programme at the Orpheum. The Tivoli's after-Easter extrava- ganza, “Beautiful Goldenlocks,” which | E. Lask, with music where and everybody, was given out | last night to a fair-sized audience. The first night of a new piece at the Tivoli is generally subject to halts and | hitches and this one was no exception. | The Tivoli's “Beautiful Goldenlock: will have to be trimmed and brushed down. This can be accomplished in a night or two; and then, by all the signs of previous Eddy-street successes, the production ought to be good for quite | a run. For it is stuffed with just the sort of tunes, pictures and nonsense that the patrons like. Scenically it is perhaps the neatest achievement in the history of the house. The rose-bower scene in the second act | is as gorgeous as the interior of a ten- dollar Easter egg, and the scene of the Prince’s palace is as incandescent as old David Henderson at his best. In the rose scene fifteen giris dance a cozy little ballet, full of pretty flgures, and a soloist foots it daintily over a ski; ping rope. In the same scene Ed Stevens sings another song of many | naticns, while the girls contribute a | complete lightning change of costume to each chorus in full view of the au- dience—an odd and picturesque idea cleverly worked out. By the time the| fourth chorus was reached last night the Tivoladies were down to close tunics and knee-breeches. The crowd | encored wildly, but the raiment re- mained stationary. { In the palace scene in the last act Mr. Stevens gives an exhibition in leg- erdemain. He started out by asking any person in the audience to please | give him a small oblong table thirty- | two inches in height, and a bunch of | canary birds. And would any (‘lerkt)'-‘ man present kindly oblige him with a | pack of cards. And everybody thought | that the Stevens necromancy was go- ing to be merely another of the Stevens jokes. But it turned out quite another thing. The comedian displayed a re; markable fluency in the sleight-of-hand tricks (and they are always the best) | and a fair manipulation of the ma- | gician’s apparatus. These apparatus | tricks will doubtless Improve with a few performances, and the sleight-of- hand will be even better for a more constant flow of side talk. Silence is | the modern magician's worst enemy. All in all, the show Is jolly, fresh and entertaining in the right irresponsible way. What little plot there is is based | on the tales of “Beauty and the Beast.” | and “Cinderella,” with generous inter- | ruptions by dances, songs and special- | ties. Miss Lichter walks and warbles | through the title part; Miss Holmes and Miss Hill are courageously the ugly sisters; Miss Helen Merrill is the good fairy in tropic clothes, s Meyers is the Bowery boy. as only a woman can make him. | :ns is programmed as Mr. All- ce, & modern Mephisto, and the part is elastic enough to give him | plenty of good comic play. Branson is | something better than his usual self | as the father of the girls, and Messrs. Pruette and Schuster are as ever. Mr. | Gerome, the tenor, is the Prince trans- formed into a bear. With the furs on he does not sing much. I enjoy him served that way. ASHTON STEVENS. Columbia. “The Serenade” is a much better comic opera than ‘“Rob Roy.” Tt pretends to | less and accomplishes more, and in it there are at least a half-dozen melodies | that have become the common whistling property of the country. The Bostonians started “The Serenade” for a week in the Columbia last night, and the audience was large and at times enthusiastic. Miss | Bertram is hardly as dashing a singer as Alice Nielsen, but she has a better and more Bostonianly adapted stage manner, and she won considerable success in the | leading part.

The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, SYRUF oF F168, manufactured by the CavirorNiA Fie Syrup Co., illustrate the value of obtaining the liquid laxa- tive principles of plants known to be medicinally laxative and presenting them in the form most refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system. Tt is the one perfect strengthening laxa- tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per- maneutly. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub- stance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakenin, or irritating them, make it the ide: laxative.

At to-night's performance Miss Bileanor Guisti will sing Nina, and Daisie Thorne Rosetta. Mira fielammla‘ the other tenor, will sing the title part. Orpheum. Josephine Gassman, a San Francisco girl, aided and abetted by a brace of wee pickaninnies as black as Miss Gassman makes up, divides the honors at the Or- pheum this week with Kara, who plays toss-up with a table, a hatrack and an able-bodied man simultaneously and does other wonderful feats in the juggling line. Two years ago Miss Gassman began her professional career as a soubrette at a local theater. Now she is doing the clev- erest ‘‘coon” turn yet seen here. Her two minlature assistants are a clever at- traction in themselves. Kara is billed as the *‘world's greatest juggler,” and there doesn't seem to be anybody in these parts who cares to dis- gute his claim. 'he Hengler sisters are ewitching dancers, but were they to for- get to vocalize nobody in the audience would call their attention to the over- sight. Marshall P. Wilder is artistically enter- taining to the last degree, while Polk (?) and Kollins, banjoists. the last of the new faces, play everything from ragtime | to classics. Of the holdovers, the Pantzer brothers continue to delight and astonish the pat- rons with thelr finished act, while the Matweef troupe are as finpumr as they were last week. James H. Manning and ‘Willle Weston repeat thefr musical turn, “The Irish Pawnbroker,” while the Or- pheum _orchestra continues to grind out the old familiar marches and two-steps between acts that everybody has ample opportunity to becorhe thoroughly famil- far with. Alhambra. Agnes Herndon commenced the third week of her engagement at the Alhambra last night in an English drama called “Married, Not Mated.” The play is by far the best the present management has presented. It served to interest the audi- ence and was well acted, Miss Herndon gave a clever performance of Lady Vid: Jarrington, and a really artistic portra ture of Susan Scroope was given by | Laura Alberta, who scored an unmistaka- ble hit. Alcazar. The presentation of Belasco and De Mille’s “Charity Ball’” filled the cozy au- ditorium of the Alcazar last night with an audience that laughed and cried by turns. It is a play that affords opportu- nity for every member of a large com- pany to do artistic work, and the excel- lent company at the Alcazar embraced it—and one another.

The sale of seats for Ian Maclaren's lectures is now open at the box office of the California Theater. Under the diree tion of S. H.

The subjects are: “The Annals of Drum- tochty,” *‘Certain Traits of Scottish Na. ture’ nd “The Place of the Minister in Scotch Life.” The Chutes. Joe Storms Jr., orang-outang, Sally, chimpanzee, and Congo, gorillaman, are the latest additions to the vaudeville rank#. As a “triumvirate” they made their appearance at the Chutes Free Theater last evening and stood the blaze of the calclum fairly well. Joe donned his whiskers, tipped his hat on the side and began to smoke his pipe when, band played *St. Patrick's Day.” Then he became embarrassed. “Sally in Our Alley” was substituted and the - chim- panzee suffered from stage fright. Congo made no complaint against “Who's Dat Sald Chicken?” and the accompanying lecture on the Darwinian theory was greatly enjoyed by a large audience. Olympia. The four Miltons made quite a hit at the Olympia last night. They excel as musical artists and rendered some very | pleasing numbers. Querita Vincent is stiil the feature of the bill. Last night she had a number of new songs and was re- called time and time agaln. She is the best artist in the coon song and dance line that the Olympia has ever had. Kipling’s Good Luck.

Relief at Hand Had He Only Known Where to Look For It. Let us, my good friends, always sufl: our tools to the work to be done. We | do not trim our nails with broadswords | or carve statues with adzes. Now a word is a tool just as a hoe is, or a ra- zor. The figure of Liberty on a quarter of a dollar is impressed there by a ma- chine made for the purpose. By the same token words were invented to im- print thoughts and ideas on the minds of others. And every word or expres- sion has a currency meaning of its own so long as we refrain from using it in a slack or careless way. Just as the Lord Mayor's coach, or one’s own best clothes are not intended for every little trumpery occasion, so great words should be reserved till the time comes when nothing else will do. ‘When a man singes his whiskers by the slovenly handling of a lighted match Now the word “excruciating” is one | of the strongest words in the English |language. It tingles with sharp signifi- !cance as a black cat’s back snaps with | electricity on a frosty night. Only shal- low people will take liberties with this word. In our ordinary talk it does not come properly into play once a year; and rightly so. For it alludes to a kind of mental or physical suffering th: desire to avoid thinking or speaking of. If the root meaning of the word ‘“excruciating” escapes you for a mo- ment look it up in the dictionary. It is | & word with a pedigree, and its ances- !tors have supped with horrors since | men began to make history. | The question then that you and I | have to settle is, whether Mr. Geo. B. Simpson employed this dignified and exclusive word justifiably when he said, “I was troubled twelve years with much pain in the small of my back. So continuous was it that I ceased to take pleasure in work. Indeed I ceased to | take pleasure altogether. With me life | g0t to be a thing to endure, not to en- {Joy. I am speaking within bounds when I say that at times these pains | were excruciating. “With the pains in my back I suf- fered from terrible periodic headaches Eand profound mental depression.

Yet to look at me you would hardly have fancied my true | condition. | at my best and receiving the congratu- lations of my friends on what they were | pleased to call my obvious improve- | ment, I still felt wretched and miser- able. But nobody sympathized with me. I suppose it was because I was not emaciated or run down as persons with dangerous diseases are commonly sup- :posed to be. | “While on this point, I may perhaps { be permitted to say that affections of the kidneys, even Bright's disease itself, often co-exist with a generally healthy external appearance on the part of the patient. The poor fellow may be within a few weeks of his death and yet to the uninstructed eye look well enough to pass for a sound man. “The secretion from my kidneys was we do not rouse up the fire department. | at we | Sometimes when appearing | high colored and offensive, with a con- siderable brick dust deposit. I can- not set forth in writing what I suffered and shall not try. The headaches alone I thought a sufficient punishment for such unconscious offenses in the matter of eating and drinking as had brought this complaint upon me.” [The editor begs to interrupt Mr. Simpson to remind him, and others as well, that in inflicting penalties Nature never stops for a moment to consider whether the offenses were consciously committed or not. Juries and judges are continually moved either b pathy for the prisoner or prejudice against him. Nature is cold as a tomb- stone, yet perfectly fair and impartial. ‘Whether you take a dose of poison ig- norantly or unintentionally, or with the | purpose to commit suicide, the result is | precisely the same. Nature will not | push you over the cliff, neither will she | put out her hand to save you from being dashed to pieces. Think of this | when you are tempted to meddle with | her arrangements.] “The doctors,” continues Mr. Simp- | son, “gave me no relief, although I con- | sulted many and followed their direc- | tions faithfully. I do not blame them, | for they did their best; and I cannot | praise them as their best was no ad- vantage to me. “It was my custom to buy my toilet articles at the Walker-Rintels Drug | Co., 244 Boylston street, and one day I | told Mr. D. Wallace Rintels about my | condition and the failure of the doctors | to help me. He at once suggested the | use of Warner's Safe Cure. to the | virtue of this medicine, although I had heard of it, T was very skeptical. I considered the advertised statements of its merits exaggerated, vet I bought a bottle on the bare chance of its doing me good. After having taken a few | doses my headaches were certainly 1 | frequent and less intense. Greatly de- lighted at this hopeful outcome I kept {on taking the medicine regularly and | improved steadi and before long the | symptoms I have named wholly disap- peared. ‘At the date of this writing I have been well long enough to make sure that my cure is radical and permanent. | In spite of the pain and peril of those | twelve fearful years I have to-day as | good an appetite, as clear a head and as sound a body as any man in Boston, | As an illustration of it I need only say | that the very insurance company which | had previously rejected me on account |of an ‘incurable disease of the kidneys’ | has since written a heavy policy on my |life.

What is popularly called kidney | trauble is shown by modern investiga- | tion to have several forms. It is al- | ways a dangerous and deceptive condi- | tion, sometimes slowly and sometimes rapidly progressive, and liable to term- inate fatally even when the immediate symptoms seem to be least alarming. | Thousands of casualties attributed to | other causes are really due to dis | kidneys. The success for many | of Warner's Safe Cure in relieving and curing this subtle disease has won for it the world-wide reputation it now en- | joys. When kidney symptoms declare | themselves, do not hesitate to use War- ner's Safe Cure. The risk is not in re- | sorting to this remedy, but in neglect- ing it.
