The fifth chamber music concert of the Holmes Quartet occurred at Century Hall Monday night. The programme was rath- er a tedious one in the beginning, consist- ing of the Haydn string quartet in F, Op. 77, and the Brahms sonata in G, Op. 78, fop plano and violin. Mrs. Ernestine Goldman played the piano part of the sonata with delicacy of execution, and Henry Holmes showed himself once more the master of the violin which he undoubtedly is. The brilliant plece of the evening Was the Schumann string quartet jn A minor No. 1, Op. 41. Especially piquant was the presto movement, which at times con- tained that quiet humor which Schumann understands so well how to obtain, and sgain this merry “fun” gave place to sad sentiments and rvrr-snod sorrow. It is an emotional composition of the most refined character and was worth while to stay for, The last concert of this series will take place next Tuesday afternoon. —_————— A Noted Woman Here.

St. Paulus Evangelical Lutheran Congregation Celebrated Com- pletion of Pastor’s Residence. A housewarming took place last evening at the newly completed pastoral residence of the St. Paulus Evangelical Lutheran Church, at Gough and Eddy streets. The pastor, the Rev, J. M. Buehler, welcomed the congregation and trustees and all friends of the congregation, who, in large numbers, thronged the house during the entire evening. After the older members had been received the young people were given a reception. The event was really in the nature of a celebration, but very informal. The house is largely due to the energy and perseverance of the La- dies’ Society connected with the church. There was a vacant lot adjoining the church structure, which was the property | of the church. There was nothing to pre- vent the building of the pastoral residence there excepting the lack of funds. The Ladies’ Soclety took the matter up and raised enough money so that when the building was completed it was free from bt. Therefore, the praise of the ladies the theme of conversation last even- on the part of the guests. There was no set programme of exercises. The people gathered around the tables and ened to impromptu speeches, and mu- was also a part of the entertainment. | The pastoral residence is two stories high and is quite handsome and commodious. | —_—————————— | FILIPINO THEATRICAL 3 STARS SUFFER ECLIPSE A DREAM OF LUXURY DISSI- PATED BY LACK OF FUNDS. Troubles of Manager Stone in At- tempting to. Obtain Gratuitious Accommodation. Manager “Colonel” Walter Everett | Stone and his constellation of Filipino stars are having a literal run for their money—or, rather, for their promises. They have not yet been in the city a good half-week and have been run out of the Palace Hotel and Russ House, and are now running about the streets looking for some other place to go rest their heads. | Stone, or, as he styles himself, ** | onel,” drifted across the local firmament | last Sunday evening for the first time. | when he wandered into the Palace Hotel and casually informed the clerk that he wanted accommodation for himself, fam- ily and some thirty Filipino friends, irre- spective of what it cost or who was hurt. The management of the hotel was some- what dubjous. Mr. Kirkpatrick did not care what it cost, but he 1gost certainly did care who was hurt, and was at first disinclined to take any chances of being the injured party. Stone, however, waved his hands two or three times in front of Kirkpatrick’s whiskers, snapped his fin- ers in his ears, told him that he was ooking at a millionaire manager of the only aggregation of Filipino comets that had ever flashed across the California horizon and that he should give the all- star troupe, who were so soon to delight the crowned heads of Europe at the Paris Exposition, the best he had on the first floor of his hostelry. Manager Kirkpatrick went into a trance and obeyed. The little brown men were quartered in the best apartments that the house had to offer, they were given the choicest cuts and the most expensive dishes that the hostel's chef couid pro- duce and Austin was told to tout them onto a few good things at Tanforan, so that they would not wear themselves out carrying too large a roll around in their clothes. The Filipinos liked it. The{ had struck nothing half so good in all their lives before; not even when, as untutored chil- dren of the wilderness, they plundered packtrains and murdered the casual Spa: ish soldier in the holy cause of liberty. Stone swelled himself like a toad, strutted about telling of the wonderful things he was going to accomplish and of the favor he was conferring on the Palace Hotel by his patronage, which was soon to in- creased by a further addition of ten Fill- pinos who had not yet arrived. This dream of Stone and his following lasted but for a brief space. Last Thurs- day some one put a flea in the ear of Mr. KArk;mmg, and that gentieman at once informed Stone that a $1000 deposit would make his credit better at the caravansery. “'A thousand,” said Stone; “that's easy. You shall have it at hoon. Noon came, but no money. The Filipinos started on their regular march for the grill, but never got there. As soon as they ap- peared out of thelr rooms Manager Kirk- patrick marshaled his forces and the war- riors from Luzon were dumred, bag and age, out on the sidewalk. of fours they marched to the Russ House, where the same gold brick was presented and accepted. They were given rooms and one meal, and then Manager Young ot wise. He called Stone to one side and nformed that gentleman that while he was willing to accept the white man's burden he was not in the business for his health, and that the burden must be paid for or he would dump it. Stone promised to get the money by the middle of the afternoon, but, as in the former case, he failed to keep his promise. Colonel Young thereupon followed the example of Mr. Kirkpatrick and placed the Antipodeans on the cold, cruel pave, where they now are and where they will probably remain unless Stone, who has not shown up, appears and finds some way to relieve them from their embar- rassment. —_—— Park Lodge Social Park Lodge, Ancient Order United ‘Workmen, had a pleasant social in Devis- adero-street Hall last night.

CTIENS AFTER WAIGHT'S SCALP Larkspur Residents on the Warpath. e WATER RATES TOO HIGH o Gee MARIN SUPERVISORS ASKED TO REGULATE PRICES. e A Technicality Causes the Petition to Be Thrown Out, but An- other Will at Once Be Prepared. i Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Dec. 14.—The trouble be- tween C. W. Wright, president of the American Land and Trust Company of Larkspur, and the patrons of that corpo- ration ha most reached a climax. In- stead of adopting a less belligerent atti- tude upon finding that the courts gener- ally favored the people of the town, Wright has pursued the even tenor of his way with the regularity of the ticking of an eight-day clock, and in consequence the residents of Larkspur have appealed to the Supervisors to fix a time for regu- lating and controlling the prices of the water dispensed by Wright, who is really the “corporation.’ This petition, which is signed by thirty- two persons, recites that the American Land and Trust Company is a corporation controlling the water supply of Larks- pur and has been engaged in business for four years; that prior to April 1, 15%, the prices of the corporation were controlled by an agreement entered into witl, its patrons, but that in March, 18, Wright notified the patrons that the company would, after April 1, demand its own pric The petitioners aver their belief that such prices are extortionate and greatly in excess of what would be al- lowed by law, and accordingly ask that the Board of Supervisors regulate the amounts to be paid by residents and householders. The board submitted the petition to Di: trict Attorney Meclsaac for examination. To-day that official handed in an opinion that the petition should be rejected for the reason that fewer than twenty-five of the signers were taxpayers and their nagnes were not on the assessment roll. This defect will probably be remedied im- mediately and a new petition presented If the petition is properly signed the Su- pervisors are required by law to name a day on which the prices of water in va- rious quantities all be fixed so as to allow the company to make only a certain percentage of profit on its investment. TO REVISE CITY ORDINANCES. City Attorney Knocks Out the Aspi- ration of Three Attorneys. The Board of Supervisors recently re- ferred to City Attorney Lane for his ppin- fon a resolution under which it is proposed to employ three members of the bar to revise the ordinances of this city and county to conform to the requirements of the new charter. In his opinion Mr. Lane says: “The work proposed under this resolu- tion would be of mueh value to the city if it were well done. It would be useless and worse if poorly done. Inasmuch as the incoming Board of Supervisors will contain several attorneys, who will no doubt constitute the Judicfary Committee of sald board, it would be in the line of economy for such work as is immediately necessary because of the new charter to be undertaken by such committee. The work of codification and general revision could then wait until the city was better able to pay for it than it is at present.” This knocks out the plications of George_D. Squires, L. G. Carpenter and A. S. Newburgh, who made application before the Health and Police Committee to be appointed special counsel to amend the city ordinances. —_——————— Rev. Dr. Spalding to Retire. The présent condition of Rev. Dr. B43- ward B. Spalding, pastor of St. John's Episcopal Church, on Fifteenth street, is such as to foreshadow his early retire- ment from the ministry. The church and congregation over which Dr. Spalding has charge is of such magnitude tnat an active and energetic minister will be re- uired to conduct the interests and wel- fare of both. While the many friends of Dr. Spalding will be pleased to learn that he has improv: went to San Matec County to recuperate, Vet his age and the wonderful strain which his mind has been subject to in his trying to conduct the school and the cler- jcal responsibilities of his large parish have undermined his general constitution to the extent that his withdrawal from the active duties of both is now an as- sured conelusion. The lay officers of St. John's will in all probability make arrangements, with the consent of the congregation, by which Dr. Spalding will be retired as an emeritus in the near future. The question of who ‘will be honored with the rectorship of this prosperous and growing parish is not at the present time known. It may be that the deacons will re%ufll! Bishop Nichols to appoint a rector direct from the num- ber of his clergy in the diocese. —_———— Rev. P. C. Yorke to Lecture. Rev. P. C. Yorke will open the monthly course of lectures-of the Catholic Truth Society for 1900 in St. Mary's Cathedral on Wednesday evening, January 3.

One Soldier Who Will Find a Real Holiday on the Twenty-Fifth. Private Thomas Honey of the First Washington Volunteers will enjoy his Christmas at home, for he left the gen- eral hospital last evening and took the train for Spokane. When he came into the hospital several months ago it was not supposed that he would ever get out of it alive. He was paralyzed, the result of fevers contracted in the islands, and it seemed as if he would never regain the use of his limbs. He did recover, though, and so rapidly that he is in a condition to travel home alone. He was driven to the terry in one of the hospital ambulances and two of the hospital corps went across the bay with him and turned him over to the conductor of the train.

BADGESKY ACTE 1S ADVISOR FOR .V, B, HENAIE The Widow Has Filed Suit. —_—— VALUABLE STOCK THE OBJECT —— SAYS HER HUSBAND PRETEND- ED TO TRANSFER IT. —_—— She Claims, However, That He Was Under the Undue Influence of the Man She Names as Defendant. AL Mary A. Henarle, who escaped mention in the will of her late husband, D. V. B. Henarfe, the well-known liquor dealer, has sued Lounis D. Radgesky to recover possession of stock in the Eastern Oregon Land Company valued at 320,000, which she alleges belongs to decedent's estate. In her complaint Mrs. Henarle alleges that when she married her husband on December 24, , he had no property or means of any he acquired property valued at over §1.- 000,000, Mrs. Henarie alleges that on February 9 last, Henarle, without consideration, in- dorsed the shares of stock sued for and | conveyed them to Radgesky as a pretend- ed gift, without the consent of the plaint- iff to her irreparable injury and damage. Hence she prays that the court restram the defendant from transferring the stocl; that he be compelled to account for tae profit of the stock and reconvey it | to the plaintiff. In an m«comPnn)‘lnz affidavit Mrs. Henarie complains that for six or seven years prior to her husband's death he was ‘weak and sick and entirely under the control and dominion of Radgesky,” who “by his machinations and wicked and ille- gal and unlawful acts so unduly influ- enced and controlled the mind of the de- ceased that he had no power or will to do anything in business, except as the de- fendant might direct him. During this period In which Radgesky so exercised this_control the deceased could not and would not accept any soclal recognition from his friends unless he first obtained Radgesky's permission, and consequently the defendant estranged and allenated ail the friends of Henarie. Continuing Mrs. Henarie says that Radgesky, to further carry out the ne- farious scheme to enrich himself at the expense of the community property of the marriage, caused old employes Henarle's in the business to be discharg- ed and would not allow other employes to talk to the deceaséd or be with him under a penalty of dismissal from such employ- ment.” EAGLES AT THE ORPHEUM. Emonds and Emerson Given a Sur- | prise by Local Members of the Order. Two hundred and fifty San Francisco Eagles invaded the Orpheum last even- ing and occupled the front seats, where | they waitad for the cue’ to turn them- selves loose.

At a meeting of the Veterans of the Civil War, held last Wednesday night at | 125 Eddy street, Martin Murray, the pre- siding officer, explained that the meet- ing was called for the purpose of taking action in regard to what he declared was discrimination by heads of departments against veterans who had been nfpolm-d | or are eligible under the United States civil service rules. The meeting was ad- dressed by John Higgins on this subject, and he made charges of discrimination as to veterans by a foreman named Sar- gent, employed in the department of yards and docks at Mare Island. Several others spoke on the subject and resolutions were adopted uesting the abolishment of the civil service rules as now carried out as being detrimental to the interests of the veterans, or that they be so modified as to carry out the bene- fita which Congress decided should ac- crue to those who served in the Civil War. A copy of the resolution will be forwarded to California’s delegation in Congress. _——e———— Worrying the Fishermen.
