GARFIELD POST, GRAN. ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. g e HE Robert Downing engagement at the Central Theater began last night with “The Gladiator,” Mr. Downing's 300lst presentation of the name role. It is too late in the day te comment upon Mr. Downing's pos- session of the gladiator habit, his per- formance to-day being just what it was ten, five, two years ago, and probably just what it ill be ten years hence. The Central audience, however, accepted the new star with a flattering cordiality, marred only by a slight dissent from his | somewhat strenuous methos signified in the usugl manner by the rude gods of the gallery. Much praise is due Mr. owning for the very effective setting the piece has received, and also for the man- ner in which all the avallable energies of the Central stock company have been utilized. 3 Lorena Atwood is cast as F does a very creditable piec work in the role. Miss Atwood is always reliable, and if she would learn to walk, her pleas- ing personality would be still more effect- ive. Fay Courtney the Neodamia, the gladiator's daughter, and in spite of her tina, and many elocutionary sins, is a charming and pretty figure. 5 Robert Cummings, a new_ “leglti- | mate” engaged to support Mr. Downing, is a graceful and intelligent Flavian, with a matinee heroism hanging over his de- voted head. James M.

It lacks every necessary quality. The mounting of “The Gladiator” is very satisfactory, not to say splendid, and the second scene in Flavia palace, with its little bailet, part well handled. Altogether it is not “thumbs down!” when the performance is to be judged, at the Central prices, and the weelk will probably see the good audiences of last night repeated. “Ingomar” will be presented next week. Alcazar. Scott Marble’s dramatization of “Ten- nessee’s Pardner,” Bret Harte's “pipe dream” of California miners and gamblers, not as they are in life but as sentimental boarding school misses would like them to be, made a sympathetic audi- ence laugh and cry by turns for four acts that were of so much Interest that they did not seem to be long. Miss Convere's Tennessee Kent was artiess in its art and held the sympathy of the house all through. Joseph _Kilgour’s gambler, “legitimate and high-toned,” was played with a quiet dignity charactertistic of gambler gentlemen endowed with the Bret Harte qualification. The trusting husband of the wicked woman, who is too easily converted into the path of recti- tude, was a meritorious “effort in the hands of Howard Scott, while Agnes | Ranken was a trifle listless as the newly- vedded bride. Messrs. Emery and :\'cebsler filled in the background of the character sketch, but Mr. Webster seemed to labor under the hallucination that he was a Roman tragedian instead | of an ordinary American villain. The fun of the play was contributed by the quaint acting of Frank Bacon as Gee- whilliker Hay and Margaret Marshall as the termagant Mrs. Hay. Fun bubbles out of Bacon like petroleum out of oil prospectuses. A “Tennessee's Pardner” was a pro- nourced success and it is sure to have a good week’s run. Orpheum. All tastes in the amusement line are catered to in the excellent bill presented at the Orpheum this week. One would in- deed have to be maliciously critical to ob- ject to a single number in the programme presented. Miss Marie Wainwright, sup- ported clever people, was seen in a sketich, “Napoleon and Josephine.” The Clever actress is as magnetic as ever and her Empire gowns are a revelation. Vaudeville patrons are fortunate in being able to see Miss Wainwright and should t miss the opportunity. ~Fuller, Moller and Burke have a rollicking farce, en- titled “Over the Pike.” Tt is nonsensical but mirth-provoking and introduces many preity ballads. Quick changes of dress and character songs are the features of a number pre- ented by “A Girl of Quality.” 'The abserce of the young lady's name from the programme gives rise to considerable specualtion. She is a_feature of this week’s performance. Hamilton Hill, the popular barytone, returns with a budget of new songs and rouses as much en- thusiasm as ever. The performing dogs of Tschernoff, the sketches of Callahan and Mack, Scott and Wilson and th= new biograph views round out one of the best Orpheum offerings in many months. Tivoli. That pleasing opera, “The Wedding Day,” entered on its third week at the Tivoli last night, and judging by the at- tendance the production has scored a de. cided hit. The music is catchy and the singers do amvle justics to the score. There will be no matinee Saturday on ac- iayliic | — % | count of the preparation for the produc- tion of ““The Idol's Eye,” which will be | presented at the popular theater on Sat- | urday evening. Columbia. E The “Little Minister” began Its second | and lust week at the Columbia last night. There was an excellent house and the | play went smoothly. Next week Blanche | Walsh will be seen “More Than Queen. in Fischer’s Concert House. Valentine Huber, an artist without arms, succeeded in painting a wonder- ful work in oil with his teeth at Fischer's Concert-house last night. Mabel Martin, a soprano, received five recalls, and Wil- liam McDonald, the basso profundo, re- peated his success of last week. The Kelcey sisters, singers and dancers, were clever; Tom Mack, barytone, sang sev- eral new songs and the Malvern family of acrobats gave an exciting exhibition. De Camp and Murdock presented a “Mytho- logical Comediettz Chutes. Barnes' big dog and pony show con- tinues to be the feature at this popular place, a new -ddition being the wonder- ful horse Ror ‘0. Swor and Hathaway appear in a « ever song and dance act. Al and Mamie Anderson present anothex of their laughable sketches. Arthur Rosell and Pearl Clough, the clever juve- niles, sing new songs. ~George Austin Moore has been re-engaged. Olympia. There is a good bill at the Olympia this week. Roscoe and Sims are musical ar- tists whose equals have rarely been seen in San Trancisco. They made a hit last | night. Clinton Montgomery and his illus- trated songs are popular, and the Kobers' aeriel act continues to be well received. Garfield Post Entertainment. James A. Garfield Post, Grand Army of the Republic, and its auxiliary organiza- tion, the Woman's Relief Corps, will give |a camp fire to-night in their post room: Alcazar building, to which all comrad and their families are invited.

Nugent delivered a very entertaining lecture on the Passion Play before a large and ap- preciative audience at St. Brendan's Church last night. Father Nugent has recently per- sovally witnessed the play abroad, and his description of it was most entertaining. The lecture was fllustrated with stereopticon views. WILL LECTURE ON PEKING.—The history | of the fall of Peking will be told by General A. S Daggeit of the United States army in a lccture to-night at the Young Men's Christian Association auditorium, Mason and Ellis streets. General Daggeft was in command of | the Fourteenth Infantry when it entered Pe- | king. Admission to the lecture is free. ————— Philbrook’s Case on Trial. . The action instituted by Horace W. Phil- brook against ex-Supreme Court Justice Van R. Paterson to recover $100,000 for alleged slander was called for hearing in Judge Murasky’s court yesterday. Eleven talesmen, yet liable to peremptory chal- lenges, occupied the box at the end of the sitting. Owing to the fact that the®box | was exhaused special summons to tardy | jurors was issued and the case was con- | tinued until this morning. e OB R i Takes Child From Father. | The 3-year-old child of Otto Xobp. who lives at 9 Ritch s'reet, was takea from the father vesterday by Officer Mc- { Murry of the Society for the Preventioa of Cruelty to Children and placed in the Maria Kip Orphanage. The father was in | the habit of leaving ihe little one in the house by itself from i o'clock in (i evening until after midnight. The child's crying attracted the attention of neigh- 2055 and the Humane Society was not!- ed. —_—— The purest Chinese is spoken at Nan- ERAFTERS BARRED FROM PRESIDIO Soldiers to Be Discharged Are Protected by Men Under Arms, ! e Camp of Twenty-Seventh Infantry | Surrounded by Mounted Patrol ‘While Troops Are Being Paid Off. e The mustering out of the Twenty-sev- enth Infantry at the Presidio yesterday was conducted under conditions that af- | forded the soldiers an opportunity to “get | even” with certain storekeepers in the neighborhood of the military reservation and others of the human vampire specle:. Barly in the morning the grafters began to gather and their number kept increas- ing until at 12 o’clock there were so many of those bipeds, who make an easy living off the unsophisticated soldiers, congre- gated around the entrance to the Pre sidio that it became necessary to adopt drastic. measures to protect the soldiers. Colonel Cummins of the Twenty-seventl | was informed of the condition of affairs | and immediately had the camp of the Twenty-seventh surrounded by a mounted | guard, which was ordered to keep all per- | sons out of the camp who could give na valid reason for their presence. The gua:d obeyed the order to the letter with the result that fully 10 men, who have beea ng around the camps for some time past, were driven from the reservation, The guard was under the command of Provost Sergeant Davis, who has been stationed at the Presidio for a number ot months and is thoroughly acquainted with the men who have been in the habit of tieecing the soldiers. Under his direction numerous - individuals, who have been under the impression that a soldier is easy game, were ordered out. At the cn- trance to the Presidio the grafters fell | into the hands of the police officers, who | kept them on the move. The result of | this concerted movement on the part of | the police and military was a freedou: from the wily schemers such as has not been enjoyed for some time by the regi-' ments mustered out at the Presidio. The Twenty-seventh was paid off by | Majors Campbell and Belknap. As a re- | sult of the payment of the soldlers and | their release from the army regulations | the police officers were kept very busy. During the day several arrests were made, but the most serious charge was drunkenness. Several soldiers were taken | o the North End police station and coa- { fined until the effects of too frequent in- dulgence in Presidio whisky had worn off. This attention to the soldiers was given in order to prevent the troopers, upo:: whom liguor works like a torch on’a pile of shavings, from gathering in crowds. Lieutenant Knox of Company A, Twen- eventh Infantry was the happlest man in the camp of that regiment yesterday. During the day he was presented with a beautiful silver loving cup from the men of the company he commanded. The cup is a handsome affair and was given to the lieutenant as a token of the esteem in which he is held by his men ‘“on account of his many sterling qualities and efforts on behalf of the men while in camp and in the field.” Palmer Hughes, private Company B, Twenty-second Infantry, died _yesterday | at the General Hospital from dysentery. The many friends of Captain Orrin E. | Wolfe thronged his tent in the Model | Camp yesterday and tendered him the'r | congratulations upon_his_promotion to a captaincy. Captain Wolfe is another of the soldiers who have risen from the ranks by reason of merit. He is a hero of two campaigns, Laving served in CuEa and the Philppines, conducting himself with such bravery in both campaigns a to receive from his superiors mention fo conspicuous gallantry. Captain Wolfe is a Kentuckian and is the son of a brave officer who served with distinction in the army of Uncle Sam. PRI RIIOE RN R MITH REFOSES 10 PROSECUTE Clara McCann Arrested on | the Warrant Issued Last November. | When Clara McCann ‘appeared at the| Hall of Justice yesterday afternoon at 2| o'clock, when the case of \-agrancy[ against her was to be called in Judge | Mogan's court, Policeman’ Sylvester fol- | lowed her into the warrant clerk’'s office and served her with the warrant issued | last November, accusing her of attempt- ing to extort $2500 from Christian W. Smith. She was taken to the City Prison, booked on the charge and promptly re- leased on bail furnished by Walter Gai- lagher, her attorney. Miss McCann went to Judge Mogan's | court, and Attorney Gallagher vehemently attacked the Police Department for what he alleged was persecution. *“‘This wo- man comes into court,” said Gallagher, “to answer the charge of vagrancy against her and she is pounced upon by a policeman and served with a warrant that has been in the hands of the Police Department for over four months. The Police Department has also neglected to serve the subpena upon J. J. Gottlob, al- though he was in the city Saturday and part of Sunday, but has now gone East for some months. He accused this wo- man of being a vagrant and I wanted him here to prove it. It seems as if there was no intention of serving the subpena.”’ Attorney W. S. Barnes was in court and said he represented Christian W. Smith, the complaining witness in the case of attempted extortion. He said Mr. Smith refused to prosecute the case, as the wo- man had not annoyed him since and he wanted it dismissed. The Judge remarked that the case was in Judge Cabaniss’ court and the request could be made to him. Meantime he would continue the vagrancy case till this morning and the prosecu- tion could see whether there was any use in_proceeding. ‘As Judge Cabaniss was busy with a jury trial Barnes decided to wait till this morning before asking that the case be dismissed. TLLNESS OF NETHERSOLE MAY S00N BRING DEATH Actress Is Dying of Cancer in Lon- don, and Stage Caresr Is Prob- ably Ended. LONDON, April 1.—Olga Nethersole's career as an actress is undouptedly ended, according to reports received by her friends. Her collapse in America while playing “Sapho” has been followed here by an illness from which it is not thought she will recover. An eminent physician, who has seen the actress, says that it is only a question of a short time when her fllness will orove fatal. Miss Nethersole is confined to her apart- ments in London. where physicians and nurses are in constant attendance. Her jllness is due to a cancer, and while an operation has been talked of, it has been decided it would not be successful and would hasten her death. ———— CONSIDERING TITLES FOR HEIR APPARENT Proposition to Create the Duke of Cornwall and York Prince of Australia Rejected.

They show that at the time Cadet Booz was a member of the academy hazing was prevalent there to a daplorable ex- tent; that the present officers of the acad- emy have shown commendable energy, zeal and efficiency in detecting and pun- ishing offenses of this character, and that they greatly decreased the practice and improved the public sentiment among the cadets upon the subject. ““The testimony and findings of the court were placed in the hands of the commit- tee of Congress charged at about the same time with_ the investigation of the sub- ject and the very efficient and beneficial action of that committee, followed by the Tegislation ypon the subject contained in the act of March 2, 1901, renders further action by the department unnecessary.” BOER GENERALS TO JOIN THIRTEEN THOUSAND MEN Botha and Dewet Said to Be Plan- ning Operations Against French in the Transvaal.

Morgan, accompanied by James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Railway, and C. F.

McGLADE'S TRIAL GOES ON SLOWLY Evidence Presented Show- ing Guilty Knowledge of Defendant. Proof Adduced That Accused Man Admitted Cashing Salary De- mands Knowing That They Were Forged. Direct evidence of his crime was brought home to Peter McGlade at the proceedings in his trial yesterday on a charge of fors- ing salary warrants on the city treasury in 1808, The second week of the fourth trial of McGlade seems destined to pass without a verdict being reached. judging by the rogress of the case yesterday. The hear- ng was dull in comparison with the pre- vious week, for Judge Melvin has put a stop to the bickerings between counsel and the “badgering’” of witnesses by At- torney Lennon for the defense, as_ de- fined by District Attorney Byington. Len- non made but one break of decorum yes- terday, when he sneeringly told Witness Regensburger that he was “too ready to give evidence.” Judge Melvin reproved Lennon, and for the rest of the day the attorney was on his good behavior. Proof of McGlade’s Guilt. Charles True, a clerk for Regensburger, who had cashed the forged salary war- rants, testified that McGlade had teld him on October 4, 1898, that he (McGlade) had collected the money on various salary warrants, including the ‘“John Sullivan™ warrant, on which the indictment in the case is founded. This statement was made by McGlade when Clerk True had gone to the office of thc Street Superintendent to secure from McGlade the salary warrants on which Regensburger had advanced money. Ex-Treasurer Reis testified to having paid a number of salary warrants intro- duced in evid D Bookkeeper Cathcart testified that entries, as called for by the warrants introduced, appeared on the books of the Superintendent of Streets. Ex-Supervisor Haskins recognized his sig- nature on the various warrants. placed on them for the purpose of auditing. Johm Ryan, assistant clerk to the Supervisors, gave similar testimony. Memory of Ambrose Is Faulty. The memory of ex-Superintendent of Streets Ambrose was as faulty yesterday as when he previously testified in case. Ambrose told how McGlade disap- peared from the office in November, 1868, but the witnéss could not remember if he tried to search for the missing man. He remembered meeting McGlade on Market street some time afterward, but did not know the date. Ambrose stated that he had never sought an explanation from McGlade as to his disappearance. H. Regensburger, money broker, testi- fied to having known «McGlade for some years and having had business dealings with him. The witness swore positively to McGlade's signature as it appeared on the forged warrants. Detective Gibson testified that he searched for McGlade in November and December, 1898, but could not locate him. The witness stated that he arrested Mc- Glade on December 7, 1888, at Oakland mole, receiving him from the custody of Deputy Sheriff Phillips of Deming, N. M. The evidence that McGlade was passing under an assumed name at the time was stricken out of the record. 2 F. J. Ehrmann, late of Deming, N. M., testified that he had seen McGlade in the cusgody of the deputy sheriff in Deming. Theodore Kytka was also on the witness stand for a brief period, and stated that the signatures Peter W. McGlade™” on the alleged forged sala warrants were in the handwriting of the defendant. The hearing of the case will be resumed this morning at 10 o’clock NEW WHATCOM COURTS METE SPEEDY JUSTICE Culprit Sent to Penitentiary a Few Hours After the Commission of His Crime.
