A large audlence gathered last night at Shermen & Clay Hall to hear the debut programme of Miss Frances H. Wer- theimer, who has recently returned from a Jong period of study under European masters. Miss Wertheimer’s efforts were very favorably received and she estab- lished herself with the enthusiastic au- dience as among the best planists of the city. Miss Wertheimer was assisted by Oscar Frank, barytone; John R. Lewis, violinist, and Sigismundo Martinez, ac- companist. The concert was given under the direction of Henry Heyman and the following programme was rendered: #s you may’ think best. | ng this step relate both to | November | it known that the re- | hin and without the uni- | »fl—i-H-H'X;H—FH-!-i-I-I-H-H—H"I—H—H%H—l- L] ORTALS SWING | BURCLARS RAID n Manila, and in order to prevent | of Philosophy De- the Reappointment the maintenance of those liberties—espectally in privately endowed institutions—I do not see how either the dignity of the teachers' posi- tion or the leadership and social usefulness of universities in our democratic society can be preserved.

N THE MISSION. ;Industrious Thieves Rob | Four Residences in [ One Night. Mission residents are very much worked | up over the depredations of one or more | burglars who have been operating in that | portion of the city of late. Captain Sey- | mour was a very much surprised man when it was reported to him yesterday | morning that four houses in the Mission | had been entered the previous night and many articles stolen. The first residence visited by the burg- lars was that of Louis Schnetzler, 3744 Twenty-second street. Entrance was ef- fected by a pair of nippers, by which the key was turned. Schnetzler lost 75 cents and a bunch of keys. J. H. Keefe, 3829 | Twenty-first street, was the next man vis- ited by the industrious thieves. Keefe's | clothing was taken into a building in the course qf construction near by and the pockets emptied. Mrs. W. Ordway’s resi- dence, 382 Twenty-first street, was then visited and robbed of a quantity of jew- elry. The last place visited by the enterprising thieves was the residence of H. G. White at 899 Noe street. A number of watches and considerable coin were taken from the Noe-street residence. A rather unusual feature of the burgla- ries was the leaving of the clothing near the places from which it was stolen. Cap- tain Seymour has a squad of detectives detailed on the four cases and has in- structed his men to make speclal efforts 10 capture the daring fellows. ——— ELKS PREPARE FOR BIG EVENT AT THE ALHAMEBRA | Will Give Theatrical Performance in | Which Best of Talent Will | Appear.

DISTINGUISHED CITIZENS OF MEXICO HERE ON THEIR WAY TO EXPOSITION Professor Arthur O. Lovejoy of the Univer-|Ex-Chief Justice Baranda and Jose Domingues Peon, One of the Richest Men in the Southern Republic, Visiting San \ g [ & Francisco-—They State That Their Country Is Prosperous = 2 = e \\x\\\\\\\ 4 & N = = G W PROMINENT CITIZENS OF MEXI- CAN REPUBLIC WHO ARE IN SAN FRANCISCO. %o + £ e — I WO of the most distinguished citi- sands of acres of rich agricultural lands zens of Mexlico arrived here yester- day and are staying at the Palace. One of them, Joaquin Baranda, held the responsible office of Chief Justice of Mexico for eighteen years. He retired recently, however, and is touring the world for his health. Jose Domingues Peon, his companion, is one of the richest men in all Mexico, his fortune running into the millions. Senor Peon owns thou- L e e e e e i i WHAT COMPANY ~ WNG THE ORE? Issue in the Big Grass Valley Gold Mine Cases. The trial of the litigation between the Pennsylvania Consolidated Mining Com- pany and the Grass Valley Exploration Company is dragging its weary and tech- nical way along in the United States Cir- cuit Court before Judge Morrow without a jury. The trial was begun, as already announced in The Call, on April 16, and since that time, except on Sunday and holidays, has been progressing. The suit was begun in the Superior Court of Nevada County on August 6 of year and was transfered to the By stipula- tion the suit of the Pennsylvania Company vs. the Grass Valley Exploration Company for $600,000 and that of the Grass Valley Company against_the Pennsylvania for $100,000 damages for ejection were con- solidated insofar as the ownership of the property is affected. After the ques- tion of ownership has been answered the damage issue will be taken up. The Pennsylvania Consolidated owns the Pennsylvania claim and the Liberty Hill mines and the Grass Valley Exploration Company owns the W Y O D, General Grant, Parr, Sims and Telegraph mines and the J. C. Harry agricultural patent, several blocks and lots in Grass Valley and the Crescent quartz mine, lying south of the townsite. The Pennsylvania claims are completely ghut in by the Grass Val- ley Company’s mines. The Pennsylvania Company contends that the bodies of ore which they have been and are working are being en- croached upon by the underground works of the W Y O D mine and that those veins and ore bodies apex within the surface lines of the Pennsylvania’s claims. They contend also that. the ore bodies lie in bunches connected by stringers, some of these ore bodies overlappifg one another, They are trying to prove that the Grass Valley Exploration Company has stoped these ore bodies from the 900-foot level and has extracted therefrom large quantities of gold. Among the expert witnesses examined as to the continuity of the Pennsylvania Company’s ore bodies are W. F. Engle- bright, Bennett Oble, who worked for many years as foreman and superintend- ent for the plaintiff; C. A. Brockington, superintendent of the Orleans; George C. Starr, manager of the Bmpire mine and Charles E. Uren, m r of the 1o and Bagle-Shawmut. Yesterday John ‘Williams, a miner, was on the stand to corroborate the evidence of the witnesses named as to the ore bodies being worked by the W Y O D apex in the Pennsyl- vania claim. The cross-examination by the attorneys of the Grass Valley Exploration Com- pany displayed an intention to prove that the ore bodies spoken of by the witnesses Wwere encountered after the bodies apex- ing the Pennsylvania had pinched — out and were therefore separate and independ- ent deposits. The Pennsylvania people allege also that Y O D work D out ore of the value of $600,000. e trial will be resumed next Tuesday morning. ‘Why Don’t You Travel by Seaf Call at office of Pacific Coast Steamship Co., 4 New Montgomery st., and inform yourself concerning that company’s im- proved service and low rates to Los An- £ 54 Dised Tonlt B Pt Coast ports, and is an extensive grower of hemp and a manufacturer of twine and rope. The two distinguished visitors cannot speak English, but have with them a gen- tleman who fulfills the duties of private secretary and interpreter. In speaking of Mexico Senor Peon says the report that President Diaz was the victim of a conspiracy and that he was slowly being poisoned is untrue. Diaz, BOARD OF WORKS ANSIVERS WELLS Claims Salaries Do Not Exceed the Cost of Repairs. The Board of Public Works has taken exceptions to the figures returned by the Auditor showing that more money is spent for salaries in the Bureau of Streets than for improvements on streets. The board claims that the Auditor has included the cost of labor in the salarles paid. At the request of Mayor Phelan the board yes- terday submitted the following statement covering the subject: During the six months beginning September, 1900, the total sum pald for salarles in the Bureau of Streets was 815,064 16, The cost of labor, consisting of brickiayers, hodcarriers, rammers, pavers, carpenters, sewer cleaners, etc., but not including inspectors and supei- intendents, who are included in the salarles account, was $39,631 18. The cost of material, consisting of basalt blocks, brick, = cement, shovels, picks and all necessary tools used by labor, was §12,969 05. The repairs to county roads, miscellaneous repairs and repairs In front of city property, amounted to $4430 25. The necessary teaming for hauling the mate- rial to the bricklayers and pavers, placing bar- ricades upon the streets, removing detritus from sewers and placing lanterns on danger- ous streets, cost $15,177 55. The amount ex- pended for bituminous pavement repairs was $7035 76. As labor, materfal and teaming are neces- sary for repairs, it will appear, by adding these various items, that for eix months the amount expended by the Bureau of Streets for repairs was $79,263 82, and for salaries $15,054 16. The total amount of salaries in the Bureau of Streets for the six months for the above amounted to $4650. The charter and ordinances require that cer- tain records be kept In the Bureau of Streets, and it is necessary that employes, whose sal- aries for the ¢ix months amount to 36324 16, Salaries pald to keepers of for the six months, to 42250, 8 rations and of street cleaning amounted £o 31800, making a total of salaries of §15,054 16, For the year 1900-1901 the sum of $36,604 was ect_aside for repaving accepted streets. Up to March 31, 1901, the sum of 327,567 pended on the following new work: Reconstructing Spear-street wharf. Repaving Sixth street from Fols Harrison . Repaving F Harrison . 5 5 Repaving Grant avenue from O'Farrell street to the north line of Bulhm.‘. o 5370 05 Repaving Main street from Mi i b . T515 15 Howard .. . CITTTP The board has entered into contract, in ad- dition to the above, for the repaving of Sac- ramento, Clay and Washington streets, from Montgomery to Sansome, at a cost of 3678, and for the repaving of Pine street, from San- some to Battery, at a cost of $2650. It has also called for bids for the repaving of Front street, from Washington to Jackson, and also the crossings of Washington and Front streets and Clay Front streets, at an estimated cost of 35715, making a total for repaving ac- cepted streefs of $2,510, this latter sum bef $6206 35 in excess of the amount appropriate for this purpose. TRYING TO INCREASE ROLL. Works Board Would Create New Sala- ried Places. The Board of Public Works before the Supervisors’ Finance Commit+ tee yesterday to urge an increased appro- priation over that recommended by Audi- tor Wells. Commissioner Manson asked that provision be made for a Bureau of Architects, the salary of the head archi- tect to be fixed at $4000 per year, with five assistants, or inspectors, at $100 per onth each and four horses and buggles or their use. Secretary Park stated he says, was very sick but is slowly re- covering. Owing to his {ll health he will be unable to meet President McKinley on his_trip. “Diaz is as popular as ever,” said Senor Peon. ‘“He is idolized by the Mexicans, and as he has another term of four years we expect to #o right ahead. Times are very good in Mexico and everybody is happy. I read the reports of fever being prevalent in Mexico, but there is no truth in them. g ‘‘Americans are becoming more numer- ous in Mexico. They come to settle with us and enter into different branches of mercantile life.” Senor Peon and ex-Justice Baranda will | go direct from here to the Pan-American Exposition. They are very anxious to see the Mexican exhibit, and say that a vast sum of money nas been spent to properly represent their country. s R e ) LAWYER MOWRY S - FAGE 15 IS OWN He Threatens to Eject a Newspaper Artist From Court. Lawyer Lyman 1. Mowry has an intel- lectual head, or, to speak more precisely, an intellectual looking head, but he is modest and does not like to see a likeness of it in the daily newspapers. While de- fending a Chinese woman' named Fong Mey Yook before United States Court Commissioner Heacock yesterday after- noon he noticed Mr. Johnson, a newspaper artist, sitting at the opposite side of the table sketching him. 4 “Stop that!”” thundered the lawyer. “My face {s my property and you have no right to sketch it. If you don’t desist I will have you thrown out of the room.” Artist Johnson calmly proceeded with his sketching and Mr. Mowry appealed to the court, but the court declined to inter- fere. The court remarked that it wasn't aware that Johnson was disturbing the peace and dignity of the abode of justice and the triumphant artist placed the cray- on fac-simile of the intellectual head into e h, M wry e_young woman whom S was defending from the chal‘g; oln‘gedng unlawfully in the country was one of the thirty-five captured in the recent Fed- eral raid in Sullivan alley. She swore that | she was born in this city and that she | was taken back to China at the age of 6 years. On her return to this port she proved to the satisfaction of the Collecior of Customs that she was a native Ameri- can and was allowed to land. uan Quock Suey, one of her witnesses, told the court that he knew the prisoner when she was only a month old and had seen her a hundred times at least before she was taken back to China. The woman had sworn that Quan had seen her only once before she went to China and that was when she was a vear old, although she dld not explain the precocity of her memory for one so young. Judge Heacock took the case under advisement. —————— Civil Service Examination. The United States Civil Service Com- mission announces that on May 14, in all cities having postal free delivery, an ex- amination will be held for the position of copperplate map engraver in the Geo- logical Survey at the salary of $150 per diem. Persons who desire to compete should apply at once to the commission at Washington, D. C.. for application form 1083, which should be properly exe- cuted and promptly forwarded to the commission with specimens of work. B N e o ) if the salaries of janitors were raised to $2 50 gcr day $5000 additional would be re- quired. A discussion took place over the advisability of placing the fund for repairs to’ school under the control of the Board of Works, instead of the Board of Educa- tion. Manson said in that event a central repair uh%p would be established at Thir- teenth and Hermann streets, where all the mechanies could be concentrated with a saving in expense. e sum of $4500 was asked for a new tank at the Almshotse and $5000 for scavenger work. Park Commissioner Lloyd asked the committee to levy a tax of 7 cents for the improvement of Golden Gate Park and smaller squares. This would raise $250,- 000 on an assessed valuation of $400,000,000. Mr. Lloyd also uested that an unex- pended ace of 000 remain to the credit of the park fund. It is intended to establish an aquarium, a library of in- formation on trees.and flowers and other improvement Valuable Specimens sented to the City T a meeting of the Park Commis- sloners at the Park Lodge last evening it was announced that San Francisco will shortly have for her very own three fine exam- ples of the work of Corot, Daubigny and Millet, that are to hang on the walls of the Park Museum. y These priceless pictures are the prop- erty of Miss Sarah Spooner, one of the most prominent benefactors of the mu- seum, and are now adorning the walls of the Metrovolitan Museum of Art in New York. Their generous owner will leave San Francisco to-day for the East, and CLAIMS HALF OF ESTATE OF CALVIN FENTON FARGO Alleged Widow of the Deceased Files Demand for Share of Commu- nity Property. A legal fight for one-half the fortune i of the late Calvin Fenton Fargo was in- stituted yesterday by Jenny Dutrit-Fargo, who alleges that she is the surviving | widow of the deceased. In her complaint, which was drawn by her attorneys, E. B. Davis and ex-Judge A. A. Sanderson, the ! plaintiff does not state when or where she | married the deceased, simply alleging that at the time of his death and for many years prior thereto she was his lawful wife. of the death of Calvin F. Fargo he was possessed of property worth $370,000, of ‘which $240,000 still remains in the hands of the executors of his will, the sum of $130,- 000 having been_distributed to the pre- ferrgd legatees, Mary Fargo Stewart and Edward Fargo. Of decedent’s estate the claimant alleges | the sum of $275000 was community prop- erty, one-half of which she claims under the law. - The community property, she says, consists of $7000.ip_bank, bonds and stocks of the Southern Pacific Company, Eastern Dynamite Company, Hotel Rose Company, Empire Mill and Mining Com- { pany, Santa Ana Water Company and the | Ventura Land and Power Company, and real estate in *his city and county and in Contra Costa, San Mateo and Ventura counties. In conclusion the claimant alleges that the executors of the will refuse to recog- nize her claim and refuse to admit that any of decedent’s property Is subject to the community interest of a surviving widow. Hence she prays that the court determine that she is the surviving widow of the deceased and allow her one-half of the property found on investigation to be | subject to her community interest. Though Calvin F. Fargo’s most intimate friends and relatives disclaim any knowl- edge of his alleged marriage, the attor- neys who represent the claimant say they confidently expect to establish her claim. — INFORMATION BUREAU DOES EXCELLENT WORK More Earnest Public Support, How- ever, Indispensable for Rush of Visitors. Since the California Colony Association | first opened its offices at the Academy of Sclences building last March the increas- ing efficacy and scope of its work has ‘been encouraging to those interested. l'l'l"le aim of the association is to give | clear and trustworthy information free | of charge to all 'who may be interested | in_seeking a home in_this State. Secretary W. Weil says that the plan so far has proved successful be- yond the hopes of its originators. The | interior towns and cities have responded | to requests for information valuable to prospective settlers with great enthu- slasm. As a result many sales have al- ready been accomplished. Every person who enters the State is presented with literature of the association, and all ho- tels and raflway stations are liberally supplied. More than 60,000 strangers are expected in the State during the next few weeks and as many may be induced to locate here permanently the support of the pub- lic is earnestly requested by the officers of the association, that facts may be prelsemed in as favorable a light as pos- sible. —_———————— “CAMP CONCERT” GIVEN BY AMERICAN-BRITISH RIFLES Dembers of New Military Organiza- tion Spend Enjoyable Evening ‘With Music and Song. The ‘“camp concert’” given last evening by the American-British Rifle Corps drew a large audience in the annex of the Me- chanics’ Pavilion, and an enjoyable pro- gramme was presented. The concert was in aid of the regimental fund and was arranged by Al Bentley. Dr. D'Evelyn acted as chairman and also figured as one of the talent, giving a lurid descrip- | tion of the *‘capture of Talana Hill,” in the war in South Africa. Among those who helped lo entertain were Professor Schlott, Dr. A. Sykes, | George Jeffrey, P. W. Jones, Bandmaster | Higginson, Al Bentley, R. Eward and Horace Hanna. Refreshments were served during, the evening, and the first | “camp concert” of the new rifle corps was voted a complete success. The corps is now uniformed, and the “khaki” dress is very picturesque. The muster roll is rapidly filling up, and it | is hoped that the organization will scon reach the 500 mark. The staff board is now making arrangements for the corps to take part in the military parade to be witnessed by President McKinley during his stay in this city. — re———— St. Andrew’s Society Picnic.

That the affairs of the Union Trust Company are in a most prosperous condi- tion is evidenced by the fact that the di- réctors have decided to increase the al- | ready exceptionally large amount of paid- | up_ capital from $750.000 to $1,000,000. President I. W. Hellman says that the | business is in a very prosperous condition i and that the outlook promises still greater things.

There is a cure for dyspepsia. Sufferers who have tried noxious nostrums will probably be skeptical, but skepticism van- ishes when Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are tried. Whether the trouble is dyspepsia. of long standing, or merely a simple case of indigestion, relief is prompt and pro- nounced. The less the trouble the fewer tablets need be taken. Heaviness after eating, sour stomach, as indicated by belching, fatigue with slight exertion, or with no exertion at all, disturbed sleep, nervousness, constipation, depression, “blues,” these things can com- monly be set down as symptoms of dys- pepsfa. And dyspepsia is merely Indiges- tion in an agsravated form. By promoting perfect digestion, Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets produce strong nerves, restful, refreshing sleep, pure blood and good sound healthy flesh. They make the skin clear, the eyes bright, the mind cheerful. Stuart’'s Dyspepsia Tablets are a medi- cine and more than a medicine. They di- gest the food and make It easy of assimi- lation, and they relieve the inflamed, di eased condition of the membranous Hn- ings and the glands of the stomach and bowels. They help the digestive organs over the hard places, and put them into a healthy, active condition. They effect a quick and permanent cure. You don't have to continue taking them forever, still it is well to have a box handy and take one at the first return of the trouble. Perfectly well people are made sick by eating too much, or unwholesome food, but not if they take a tablet after eating. Treatment with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab- lets does mot recessitate dieting or any change of habits. They digest the proper food and act upon the other kind in such a way as to make it pass off quickly and harmlessly. You may eat and drink what you like, when you like, and as much as you like if you take a tablet afterward. Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by all druggists at 50 cents for full size pack- age.
