A STAR PLAY WITHOUT A STAR = HERE 1s no objection to a star play when there Is a star. But the Alcazar possesses a stock company. The whole success of “Innocent as a Lamb" depends on Toblas Pilkington. Now, this same Tobias was a right mirth- | provoking man when he left the play- wright's hands, and It is a pity that he should be weakened through Mr. Or- monde's treatment. On the other hand, Eugene Ormonde 13 the man for a straight part—the man of reserve, of fine ich—and it s a pity that he should be pened by Mr. Pilkington. There is a a1 difference between them that they attle. r people hold together brave- o for a merry w y as one man against ¢ pick one of them out and order him to do his fighting alone—it isn’t fair. The com- pany lacks star talent, although it has a strong leading man. Of course, people smile or chuckle or giggle or squeal as the case may be. Jap- anese screen and speaking-tube misunder- andings will always accomplish that. But it's a star play with the star left out. e — WORKMEN’S ANNIVERSARY. The Ancient Order Will Celebrate on the Last Friday of This Month. There was a meeti last night of the Grand Lodge officers and representatives from all the local lodges of the Ancient Order of United Workmen to make ar- rangements to publicly celebrate the an- niversary of the order on the 27th inst. Grand Foreman Snook presided and Grand Recorder Poland kept notes of the pro- ceedings. It was decided that there should be a meeting in 0dd Feliows' Hall, ad- dressed by Past Grand Master Barnes and Past Grand Recorder Hirshberg, with a musical and literary programme and | dancing. The following committees were | selected to take charge of the affalr: En- | tertainment—Grand Master J. Collins, | Deputy Grand Master Danforth, Grand ¥oreman Snook, W. Malloy, J. H.

BESCUED TEKOA SAILORS ARRIVE O THE GIFFORD Picked Up in a Boat Off Cape Horn. The British ship Gifford arrived from rdiff vesterday @ noon with five of crew of the British steamer Tekoa | ard. The men were greatly relieved | | to hear that the steamer, passengers and w were all right, as ever since August :y have been under the impression were the only ones saved from | 1 wreck. Tekoa left Wellington, N. Z., on July or London with a number of passer s and a cargo of frozen mutton. While passing through ti aits of struck an own object and began to fill. The water poured into | the fore peak and fore hold, but luckily the collision bulkheads kept the water out of the rest of the ship. Over X c es of sheep were jettisoned and the steamer lightened up so that on Aug 10 she was able to reach Port Stanley. There she was patched up and sent to Montevideo, where she Is now being over- hauled. When the steamer Tekoa struck there was a great deal of excitement aboard | and everybody thought the ship was go- ing down. There was a general rush for the boats, but the captain and officers | anybody from getting into thew. The second mate and the four sallors took the stations assigned to them in one of tne boats, however, and by some means or another got adrift. They lost sight of the Tekoa and tried to head for thinking the steamer had gone IJ')“Q with all hanWs. They were none | too warmly clad and suffered terribly from the cold. They labored at the oars | in order to keep the blood in circulation, but all were frost-bitten and re y glve up the struggle when the Gifford, bound for San Francisco, hove in sight | and pick=d them up. In the meantime the Tekoa had arrived at Port ley and the captain was feel- | ing worse over the loss of the second mate and the four men than he did over the accldent to the ship. He chartered a small schooner and sent her out to look for the missing boat, but no trace of her could be tound, as the Gifford had been there beforehand. The transports Zealandia, City of Para and Valencia got away for Manila last night. Seven companies and the head- quarters and staff of the Twenty-ninta | Regiment went out on the Zealand the remaining companies on th Para. The Valencia took away cruits for the regiments now in tha| Philippines. There were very few peopie down to see the boys away, and the men | made no attempts to get outside the en closure. Jn consequence there was very | little excitement over the departure of | the transports. Six boys tried to stow themselves away on the Zealandia and | City of Para, but were discovered and put | ashore. Some of the lads had followed the regiment here and were very much disappointed because they could not get | to Manila with their frien, | The log raft was towed into port by | the tugs Rescue and Monarch yesterda As soon as it was sighted the tugs Reliel Alert and Redmond went to the as- sistance of the Rescue and Monarch, and the five hoats safely anchored the huge pile of lumber in Mission Bay. Captaln Thompson of the Rescue picked the dere- lict up off Lompoc at 7 a. m., September 2i. After some trouble the Rescue made fast, and at the rate of one mile an hour | towed her into Port Harford. When the Monarch reached Port Harford the two tugs started for San Francisco with iho derelict. Off Point Sur a heavy head sea was met and a number of the piles | washed out. Quite a big piece of the raft | is gone, but there is enough left to more than pay expenses. The hull of that City of New York, that was wrecked on Point Bonita a number of vears ago, is to be broken up.\ After several .unsuccessful attempts had been made to ralse the vessel the engines, boll- ers, masts and gear were removed and the hull abandoned. The price of iron has advanced of late and it is now worth while to recover the plates in the hull of the New York. T. P. H. Whitelaw has fitted the wrecking schooner Catalina out with new hoists and engines and to-day she will be anchored off Point Bonita and | neither captain can ever remember expe- | home at 120 Howard |up ana retatd. ) e e "/04 Mo "GoN ST, Ty \ PEOPLE Hav B \ DECIDED 5 il TOTHE MAN WHO NEVER PAYS HIS BILLS . — "Give ~~ MY MONEY " D(CGNED e SN & MADAM , YOUR.

There is over a thousand tons of iron in the hull of the New York, and Whitelaw expects to recover it at the rate of 100 | tons a day. One of the crew of the schooner Nort Bend went cr: ay and jumped overboard. He was fished out of the water and sent ashore on the tug Alert. It took six policemen to get him into the patrol wagon and out to the City Hall, where he was placed in a padded cell. He is a mulatto and is subject to fits of temporary insanity. Joseph Lester, an A. B. on the British ship Falirport, attempted to kill John Cameron, the carpenter, with a hatch bar yesterday. There has been considerable 11l feeling between the men ever since the vessel left Australia. Lester was put in irons and the police called in. When Of- ficer Lyle Shaw went to arrest Lester he | found the saflors lowering him to the wharf from the forecastle head. Shaw secured his man and charged him at the Harbor police station with an assault | with a deadly weapon. | The bark Harvester and ship George Skolfield had a reminder of the upheaval in Alaska while on their way here from the cannerfes.

The vessel's de- | parture was delaved for some hours owing to the fire in the Sierra Nevada snowsheds that held Southern Pacific trains and Eastern mail at Truckee until nearly one mile of track could be taken The Mariposa's destina- tion is Sydney, and she sails via Hono- lulu and Auckland. On board was a large passenger list for way ports as well as Australia.

The name of the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Ass'n, its makers, guarantees its merit Again Denounced the “Voice.” The Bullding Trades’ Council at its meeting last evening reaffirmed its decis- jon regarding the Voice of Labor. At a previous meeting the council denounced the paper as one not worthy to be the representative of laboring men, and re- quested all bodles connected with the council to withdraw their patronage from it and to cease 0 recognize it in any form. The actlon of last night was brought about by an attempt of Unfon 22 to have the council reopen the case for the introduction of new evidence. The grievance of the council {s that the man- agement of the paper is inimical to or- ganized labor. | Commissioners, RETIREMENTS OF POLICEMEN SAID 10 BE ILLEGAL Majority of the Board Not Present. There was considerable talk in police circles yesterday concerning the retire- ment of Sergeant Avan and Policemen Hall, Libby and Hayden on Wednesday night by the Police Pension Board, and also the retirement Monday of Policeman Wilson. The legality of the action of the board is seriously questioned from the fact that only one member was present (Comm sioner Alvord), the other two Comm: sioners being out of the city. It is d tinetly laid down in the act creating the pension board that ‘“‘a majority of all the | members of said board herein provided for shall constitute a quorum and have power to transact business.” be nothing plainer than that, and as it requires two to make a majority of the three Commissioners, the proceedings as | to the retirement of the men in question | are lllegal. The Chief of Police was present besides | Commissioner Alvord, but he is only the secretary of the board and not a member, although he wrongly contends that he is a member both of the Police and Pen- ston boards. The act says: “They shall organize as such board by choosing one of their number as chairman and by ap- pointing a secreta President Tobin occupies the one p: fon and the Chiel of Police for the time being the other. ‘When the Board of Police Commissioners was created by the McCoppin act it was | specified that it would consist of three together with the then Chief of Police elected by the people; but | a subsequent clause distinctly states that | afterward the board will consist of the three Commissioners, who shall have | power to appoint a Chief of Police. At | the time of the passing of the act Chief | | Kilpatrick was in office by election, and | he was the only Chief who was a Com- | missioner. After the appointment of Chief | Crowley he was asked to attend the meet- | ings of the board, not as a member but as | Chief, to advise with the board on the | business before it. But it is pointed out | that, assuming Chief Lees’ contention is | right that he is a member of the board, | two cannot be called a majority of four, | and the proceedings of the board would still be illegal. It was hinted that some of the officers retired will test the ques- tion. A NORTH BEACH FRACAS. Cousin of Colonel Breckinridge Occu- pies a Drunk Cell. A rather mixed up family row happened on Mason street, near Filbert, last even- ing and ended in the arrest of W. J. Ereckinridge, a cousin of ex-Congress- man Breckinridge of Kentucks’. on a charge of drunk. Mrs. Breckinridge had been badly beaten by a Mrs. Hansen, who resides in the Breckinridge home, at 716 Bay street, and sought refuge in the house of Mrs. Mary Ward. Breckinridge followed her there, and is said to have raised & disturbance. The cries of Mrs. Ward attracted the attention of Officer Kelly and he placed the man under arrest. Both the wife and Mrs. Ward talked of more serious charges, which they threaten to place against the prisoner this morn- inc.
