The theatrical business seemed to suit him and he be- came the proprietor of the famous old | Bella Union Theater on Kearny street. He was in his realm there. Times were good, moaey plentiful, and Foster made share of profits. As an entertainer Ned could go into a bunch of drunken sailors, then to some boys around town or to a party of swell gentlemen who were there | on the quiet to see the spicy shows which made the Union the talk of the town, and keep them interested in funny stories to the extent that they would part with their money willingly for round after round of drinks and leave the place s; ter_is a good fellow and kno: make o feel at home." Quiet wine parties, too, added consider- able to the prodts of the Bella Union.

Her arrest in this city created a scan- | dal which involved many of our _well- known citizens. The papers devoted con- siderable space to the episode and much spicy reading resulted. Bertha was held | under heavy bonds. Foster saw his chance to turn a good trick and he grabbed It. He took Jack Hallinan in with him, rustled up the necessary bonds and got Bertha out of jail. The woman of great proportion was taken to a lodging-house and held under a heavy guard. Foster | 1 the meantime had hired Woodward's Gardens and given a heavy advertising order to his printer.
