Flores got Into a difficulty with his wife tnd tried to stab her. Schneea interfered and told him to put his knife away. In respo Flores told Schneea it was none of his business, and after a brief altercation, made a dash at him, knife in hand, and chased him out of doors. Seeing that he must defend himself, Schneea drew his knife and stabbed Fiores under the lett shoulder, inflicting a fatal wound. be daylight and Deputy Coroner Toney Sweer brought the remains to this plac An autopsy held this afternoon disclosed the fact that the brachial artery had been severed, If a doctor had been summoned promptly Flores’ life might have been saved, but while he lay on the floor of the cabin bleeding to death the orgie con- tinued and he expired.

Father Charles A. Ramm Preaches at the Annual November Open Ses- sion at St. Mary’s Cathdral. The annual November open meeting of the Calvarian Society was held ,vester- dny at St. Mary's Cathedral. The cathe- dral was filled by the members, who par- ticipated in the beautiful and impressive services of the “Way of the Cross.” Dur- ing the stations the choir sang the *‘Sta- bat Mater.” At the conclusion of this service they sang “Jesu Dei Vive,” by | Verdi, and after the sermon, the “Ave Maria,” of Loretz. Rev. Father Charles A. Ramm preached the sermon. He spoke on the communion of saints and gave practical applications, both personal and with reference to the soctety. He dwelt on the fundamental fact that prayer is the essence of all re- ligion; that it forms a bond of union. for, in the Bible, Christians are directed to ray for one another. His address term- | nated with g4n admonition to the mem- bers of the society on the duty of prayer. During the benediction, the choir sang “O Balutaris,” by Rossini, and the “Tan- tum Ergo.” The music was by the reg- . [ = - - Street Car Held Up.

Mr. Bagley had been In dellcate health for some time and about ten days ago was removed to the Lare Hospital at Webster and Clay streets, where his complaint Adeveloped into appendicitis. His condition became so critical that it was decided to operate. and on Friday afternoon this was done. Owing 10 his weak state at the time the patlent failed to rally under the operation and gradually sank until at 1:30 p. m. yesterday, he breathed h's last. Willlam H. Bagley was a native of Oregon, where he resided up to s'x rears ago, when he came to San Fran- cisco ond engaged in the insurance business. At the time of his last 11- ness he was general agent of the North British Mercantile Insurance Company, and was regarded py his confrerag as one of the most progres- sive men In the Ingurance business. An incident full of pathos connected with his death was his recent engage- ment to Miss Grace Currler, one of Denver's most prominent soclety wo- men. Mr. Bagiey and Miss Currier were to have been married very soon. A message has been sent to his rela- tives to find out their wishes in regard to the funeral. | W. H.

A Republican Registrar has determined that the voters shall be given every opportunity to express their preferences and that every possible safe- guard shall be placed around the ballot box. The red rubber stamp scheme of the friends of Phelan will not be tolerated. Any man who attempts to carry It into | execution will be arrested and prosecuted. Deputy Registrar Rickard sounded the | warning yesterday afternoon at the meet- ing of Républican election officers held at B'nai B'rith Hall. He intimated that the Registrar's office was fully cognizant of the scheme exposed a few days ago in the | columns of The Call, and he cautioned the | o officers present to be on the alert for any | one who attempted to circumvent the election law with a rubber stamp other at provided in the booths. ou will have to do ald Mr. Rick- ard, “is to turn the offender over to an officer. We will do tne rest.” In this connection the following official notice issued by the Registrar is impor- tant: All ballots must be marked with the stamp (X) provided by the Registrar of Voters, or the ballot will not be counted. Any stamp (X) used, except the single rub- ber stamp with a cross (X) on each end fur- nlshed by the Reglstrar will make the ballot illegal. Persons using any other stamp (X) will be | arrested_and prosecuted according to law. J. STEPPACHER, Registrar of Voters. LET THE M-RCHANTS TALK IT ALL OVER Republican merchants who have not ful- ly made up their minds to vote for Horace Davis should to-day carefully and fair] review the political situation and take into account Democratic party would derive by the election of Phelan. The issue now at hand is between political parties. Mayor Phe- jan in addressing the people at Metropoli- tan Temple on the evening of August 4 uttered these words: *““We all have to be party men now. have to carry out reforms within the par- ty. We all have to be party politicians; we can’t be independents ahd go befora | the people and say we will do tnus and so, We have to get behind the party, and make it the instrument and the agency of our work.” The Cail stands reauy to prove by the sworn testimony of an expert stenograph. er that Mr. Phean did utter these word He was addressin~ a Democrauc audience a few days before the primary eleotion and did not suspect that The Call had a stenographer posted to take down his ex- act language.

The male element was predominant at the opening o Alham heater last evening, when moiselle Fifi” made her debut in San Francisco. For those who are able to read between the lines this preliminary remark will be suffic | to guess at the character of the pla fact it is not exactly our male theater-goers | that a “Mademo! > able to A performances are their patronag The stage is intended to illustrate the varfous situations in our social system as true to life as pc ble in a manner ele- | vating in purpose. Therefore the good in life should be made attractive, while the bad should be presented as repulsive. “Mademoiselle Fifi, therefore, cannot | claim the title of a work of art, for it | does not only intend to make the licentious mode of living permissible, but it actually makes it a means by which to obtain a supposedly honest end. In other words, accor this latest off- spring of French dramatic art, a man n order to get a sort of sham divorce from his wife for the purpose of obtaining ce tain sums of money, is allowed to accept and return the attentions of a woman of the demi-monde, and afterward live again happily with his wife, whom he remar- ries, notwithstanding that the latter is | aware of his flirtation This play me very much of a sugared pill s the pill—a very bitter one—around which a sugar coating of an exceedingly clever plot is laid. In the first act you begin to sip the sugar, for here is really dash and vim. The sec- { ond act becomes bitter and the entrance of Mlle Fifi, followed by a vulgar love cene, is the bitterest part of it all. In act, this music hall singer, who appears : state—decollete, I mean— :ced for the purpose of cre- ating a situation, which is best termed “‘double m ing,” and means of which those whose minds are s eptible to this class of e attracted. As stated be- fore, the plot is excellent. Certain con- fusing situations arise from a plan to gain a wife’s money which cannot be se- complimentary to when it is obvious and a “Turtle” , while more re- unable to gain cured unless the wife becomes single. An excuse for a divorce Is invented to de- ceive an objecting mother-in-law ,and this divorce is the axis around which the en- | tire plot revolves. It is cleverly thought out and the gradual development of the | play artistic. If there was only another character for Fifi and not quite as sug- gestive a love scene the play might be pronounced a clever comedy, somewhat “Frenchy,’ perhaps, but clever, neverthe- less. Nance O'Nell reappeared last evening at the California Theater in her farewell en- gagement. She played Nancy Sykes in “Oliver Twist.” The fierce temperament of this character makes it particularly adapted to Miss O'Nefl's dramatic talent, and in consequence her audiences are de- lighted. It is a pleasure to find in this dramatic desert an oasis where one can refresh oneself at the spring of genius, and the theater-going public of San Fran- cisco should be grateful to Miss O'Neil for giving it some legitimate plays legitimate- Iy acted. This evening will be an event of much importance at the California, as Professor Lindau’s new dramatic venture, ““The Shadow,” will receive its maiden production. o “The Sad Sea Waves” began their last breakers yesterday. The specialties are very much enjoyed, especially so the mu. sical selections, which are much to the credit of Gustave Luders, the musical di- Next week the successful farce Why_ Smith Left Home,” will appear at the Columbia and will no doubt attract all those who enjoy a real hearty laugh.
