Ths new gas company will incorporate with a capital stock of $5,000,- 000, and the enterprise will be rapidly completed.

Miss Darling ap pears in the role of the heroine, and as a climax to one of the, thrilling situations, | thwarts the villlan's deep laid plot by pre- | venting an alarm from being sounded. To | accomplish this she clutches the clapper of a bell and with it swings across the | stage several times. | The feat is dangerous, as the actress is obliged to remain suspended for several | moments many feet above the stage floor | with only a grasp on the clapper to hold | her. Her hands are usually covered with | rosin to prevent them from slipping, but on the night mentioned the property man had fafled to place the rosin in its accus- |tomed place and Miss Darling was | obliged to attempt the act without it. Her ! hands were moist with perspiration and hardly had she swung clear of the plat- | form when they commenced to slip. She shouted to stop ringing the bell, but the roar and din on the stage prevented her from being heard. As she was thrown forward for a third time her shouis in- | creased and one of her hands had already | lost its grip. She realized that she coull not hold on a moment longer and the | sight of the stage floor far below her, to which she would be thrown with consid- erable force on account of the swift mo- tion of the clapper, terrified her. Then it was that James Cannon, a stage @i e il | MICHAEL DONAHUE THE [ VICTIM OF ACCIDENT | Found Asphyxiated on the Floor of | His Room After a Protracted { Spree.

Dr. Voorsanger Com- pares Time to Veteran | on Field Review. [ | ———— | Rev. Dr. Jacob Voorsanger at the Tem- | ple Emanu-El !ast evening spoke of the | passing century and of the advent of the new. He urged his hearers to strive in a | spiritual way {o emulate the example of Napoleon's illustrious grenadier whose | name, heard at roll call, was always fol- | lowed by the words, “Fallen on the fleld | of glory.” Using a similar metaphor, he | depicted the parsing ans of the war of entury as the veter- | between Holland | | an@ Belgium, who were entitled to appear | since that time b at muster every year. So the old century, straightening up once more before him who sees all centuries in review, might | offer the last salute. | The present century had been great In achievement. The great men who were in the world when the century began | would be astounded if they could realize | the mental advancement of the present. Each succeeding century inherited from the preceding centuries something. The | Niie had deposited debris until the land | at its mouth had been raised forty feet. Every man should try in the coming cen- | tury to lay down something for the benefit | of the future, just as the Nile has done. The greatest inheritance of the centuries was the knowledge of the living God that it had from Judea. rich as were the lega- | cles of law from Rome, plastic art from | Greece, commerce from Phoenicia and other gifts from other nations and lands. As the old century passes men should romise to go on, not only as for battle, ut for the honor of the living God, who | shall be after earth shall be no more. Rev. Dr. Nieto at the Sherith Israel Synagogue delivered a sermon in which he ignored the calendar. The duty of man was always ursent and pressing, he said. | If he would gu out to benefit his feliow man he must take the message of love. But the lips that spoke of love must not speak the doctrine of eternal punishment. Neither must be go speaking as the rep- resentative of any church or any creed. Carrying the message of God's love, he would benefit and advance the time to come. SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Dead May Not Be Interred Within | the City Limits—Italian Society Loses. The action of the Board of Supervisors in passing an ordinance prohibiting the | burial of the dead within the city limits is upheld by the Supreme Court. The lat- ter body handed down a decision yester- day in the case of the Societe Italiana di Mutua Beneficenza against the city and county of San Francisco, affirming the ent of the lower court, which was in favor of the municipality. In 1897 the Supervisors passed an ordl- nance which prohibited the burial of the dead in the City Cemetery, which was also known as the Golden Gate Cemetery. The Italian soclety had been given, many ears previous to the bringing of the suit, ots in the cemetery and they were op- posed to giving up their burial place. Suit was brought against the city and county and the defendants filed ‘a demurrer, which was sustained. An appeal was tak- en by the soclety and the Supreme Court in afirming the action of the Superior Judge held that the Board of Supervisors did not have a right to grant land to pri- vate corporations, as the land had been turned over to them by an act of Con- gress. The court also held that the Su- pervisors possessed the right to pass any ordinance which was for the good of the communit; ————— RAILROAD RUNS SHORT OF REFRIGERATOR CARS The Sonthnm__reifl.c Unable to| Handle Big Crop of Citrus Fruit. Despite the precautions taken early in the season. the Southern Pacific finds itself unable to handle the big consign- ments of citrus fruit to the East. Refrig- erator cars are at present as scarce as hen’s teeth, and the company is wonder- ing how it'is going to accommodate the southern fruit growers, who have many carloads of g eady for shipment. The scarcity of cars is almost alarming. The total number sent out thus far this season is about . These cars are ex- ceedingly slow in getting back. For some reason or other they are being held in the East, much to the annoyance of the com- ny. v’rhe citrus fruit crop this season is esti- mated at 25000 carloads. It will therefore ' be seen that only a very small percentage of the crop has been shipped thus far. The | largest shipments are generally made in January and February. —————— The Challenge Is Out. { ‘Wednesday, Janvary the 2d, the great challenge will take place in this city, * LAD OF FIFTEEN SEEKING DEATH Louis Bohm Attempts Shoot Himself, but the Bullet Goes Wild. —_— Louis Bohm, a 15 mother resides at 109 A of Polk, while suffering from me attempted to commil sule ! with the aid of a self-cocking pistol.
