About § o'clock yesterday morning three men entered their room and one pointed a revolver at them and | | commanded them to keep their heads un- | der the bed ciothes on pain of being shot. The burglars searched the pockets of their clothes and then the man with the revolver asked Meyers for the key of a trunk that was in the room. Meyers told him the trunk did not belong to eitner of them. “You're a liar,” retorted the rob- ber, and he struck Meyers twice over the head with the butt -end of the revolver. Meyers begged him not to murder him as he was teiling him the truth and he de- sisted. The trio then left, taking. with them a ! suit of clotnes, coat and vest and $ in coin. The matter was reported to Police- man Lake, but neither McClair nor Mey- ers could give an accurate description of the three men. Dentist Made to Disgorge. | Charles Morgan, a sailor, was found in| an unconscious condition at Battery and | Jackson streets shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday night and was taken to the Re- Hospital. He was roused suffi- to say that he had been robbead of | he last thing he remembered was $30. being in a saloon at California and Du- pont streets, where it is supposed he had been drugged. His trousers pockets had been cut out and his purse, which he kept in his stocking, was found to be empty. Captain Seymour has detailed De- tectives McMahon and Riordan on the case. Frank Miller, a sallor, who resides at the White House, 414 Jackson street, was | brutally beaten Ey footpads on Battery street, between Pacific and Jackson, | shortly after 2 o’clock vesterday morniag. | At the time Miller was going to his lodg- | ings in an intoxicated condition. The rob- | bers secured $2 from him. Dr. McPike, a dentist at 2525 California street, reported to the police yesterday that he was held up by afootpad in the park at Plerce and Post streets shortly after ¥ o'clock Saturday night. He was with Miss Annie Warren of 2503 Clay street at the time. Robbed in Daytime. The young lady had taken a seat on a 2 bench in the park for a moment as something in her shoe was hurting her | foot and the footpad came up to Dr. Mec- | | Pike with a revolver in his hand and de- manded his money.

The two footpads crossed the street, knocked him senseless and then robbed him of $420. The act was witnessed by Clarence Carett and Willlam Cummings, who, after helping the injured man to his feet, followed the robbers. They saw them enter the restaurant and Carett went to look for a policeman, while Cummings remained on watch. When Carett got back with Officer Fiynn the men were gone. but a search along Davis street resulted in the arrest of a young fellow who gave the name of Jesse Smith. He was charged at the Harbor prison with robbery, he being identified by Carett and Cummings. | The other man escaped. STEAMERS WILL AID | THE CARIBOO MINERS Arrangements Being Made for Ma- chinery in Extensive Operations in the North. VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 17.—Senator Campbell, intimately connected with ex- | tensive mining .operations in the Cariboo country, left last night for San Francisco to consult with his company and place orders for a hoist to handle 10,000 pounds and two water skits with a capacity of 1000 gallons each to handle water in case of an emersency in the Miocene Com- pany’s three compartment shafts at Har- pers Camp, Horsefly. It is for the deep- est shaft ever sunk in Cariboo. In addition to carrying on the regular mining work of the company, Senator Campbell has arranged to put on Horsefly | Lake steamers, the plans of which were finished a week ago.

Haverly's Minstrels opened before a crowded house at the California Theater last night and the show presented by thes black faced artists was deserving of every bit-of the hearty applause which greeted each number. Being a minstrel | performance, the audience looked for, nothing new, and consequently were not disappointed when it saw the same old | first. part with its galaxy of tambos and bones. It is a combination of clever people. They all sing well and the old George Wilson tells lis stories in his us- ual inimitable manner and sings as well as ever. George Morgan, the Tmale so- | prano, possesses a wonderful voice, and | Mozier and Conley, the singing and talk- ing comedians, do a turn that is laugha- | ble in the extreme. Marion and Pearl do 4 very funny turn in a clever manner, iheir tumbung being especiaily good, and Gall;d[esn and Somers are great musical arusts. Never before in this city has there been such & troupe of cycle r:aers as the Kauf- manns, who made their first appearance at the Orpheum yesterday. There are six in the family—a girl ihree boys, a man and a woman—aud they ride around the stage, which séems -lecidedly small, by the way, In pairs anda trios, and finally the hali-dozen are whieling about in soud formation. Cross-legged, siae saddie and ey all work the same iricks at once, a do them well. “L'nen the stage is given over to one of the boys. The youngster has absolute com- nand of his wheel, and a triple piroutte s performed without loss of balance. He strips the front of his frame while riding the rear wheel, and rcsumes the same be- fore striking the stagc, and he rides three high on one wheel and keeps on riding uuntil he gets ready to come down. There is no perceptible lack of steadiness when he is carrying the ‘wo on his b both in single riding and team work the troupe are wonders. A somersault over a table is an extraorcinary feat, and the finish is when the six ride on one ma- chine at the same time. Bicknell, a modeler of comic and his- | torical heads in clay, kept the house in | laughter for twenty minutes. He has | been heralded as ‘‘tne most successful | mud-slinger on earth,” and he lives up to his title. Buffalo Bill, an American In- dian, a German, an irishman and his mother-in-law were fushioned in short order, and while the iast named was be- ing slapped together Lae orchestra played “Because I Love You' and when Bick- nell fired additional clay at her, saying, “That's what I'm going to give her Christmas,” the musical accompaniment ‘;as . You'll Get All That Is Coming to ou. Ward and Curran present a humorous hodge-podge entitled ‘“‘Familiar Charac- ters,” during which Mr. Curran sings sev- eral ballads and impersonates an Italiin arrested for maltreating his wife and a stuttering cab_driver. Mr. Ward enacts the role of a San Francisco Police Judge and an_eccentric old maid. Lillian Burk- hart, the indefatigable worker, presented for the fourth week of her successful en- gagement Edmund Day’s clever playlet “A Deal on Change,” 1n which she scored such a hit last year. The present pro- duction is better than the former one, and Miss_Burkhart {s ably supported by Os- car Norfleet. Fred Niblo, the American monologist, had a complete new routine of storfes, in which he was happier, if possible, than last week. “The Girl With the Auburn Hair” changed her songs, Introducing ‘The Holy City,” and was well received. The Fraser family of dancers, Joseph Adel- man, the xyiophone virtuoso and chime organist, and new pictures on the bio- graph completed an uausually strong pro- gramme. . “A Galety Girl” be the bill at the Tivoll this week. The Pollard Lillipu- tians have ‘“‘caught on,” and there has been nothing cleverer in their line ever seen here. “A Galety Girl” is a bright and fetching opera and is excellently cast. Its comedy inferests will be amply cared for by the Pollard juveniles, and their well-known vocal attainments promise everything necessary so far as the music is concerned. During this engagement there is a Sunday matinee in addition to the usual Saturday afternoon perform- ance to supply the extra demand for seats. BT The Alcazar Theater presents this week the London and New York comedy suc- “Self and Lady" for the first time in The Alcazar stock company is st just now with the recent addi- tions to its forces that have.been made. Miss Marion Convere, Miss Margaret Wycherley and M. I Alsop are among those who have founud strong favor with Alcazar patrons. Next week, Thanksgiv- ing week, “We 'Uns of Tennessee” will be put on. The “King of the Opium Ring” Is at the Central this week, beginning to-night. The big melodrama created a furor of melo- dramatic sort when it was first seen here last winter, and has had enormous suc- cesses wherever it has been seen. It is a hilarious absurdity, and any one who wants a good time 'and to get rid of the blues would do well to' go up to the Cen- tral this week. The piece will be elab- orately staged. L0 At Fischer's Concert-house a bill of un- usual excellence has been prepared for this week. Among the entertainers are the Lenton trio of comedians, acrobats and hat throwers; Marion George, violin soloist; Gertrude Wase, balladist; Karl and Befley. triple horizontal bar experts; Edna Hamlin, lyric soprano; the Blaine brothers. herculean acrobats, and Elea- nora Jenkins, the popuiar opératic vocal- ist. Hinrichs' orchestra will offer an en- tire change of programme. e o The new bill which opens at the Chutes to-day includes Francis TLe Page, the famous jumper and paie vaulter; the Les- lies, comedy musical artists: Hattle Rav- age, in popular songs: the Paloma Ladfes’ Quartet; the Kramers. in a new sketch, and Arnold Grazer ana Rlanche Trelease, in their mystic mirror dances. A series of new moving pictures will also be shown. . s . ‘Willlam Collier in a new comedy Lv Agustus Thomas, entitled ““On the Quiet.” opened Jast night at the Columbia. The scene of the comedy is laid around the college life of a young American. and the author skillfully utilized his material for the creation of inrnocent mirth. CARRIES THE BULLET THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS Aged Soldier Surprised by Develop- ments in a Surgical Operation in Spokane. SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. I17.—Thirty- seven years ago at the battle of Columbia, Tenn., Henry Sprague, now of Spokane, was shot with an old Springfield rifle, the ball entering on the right side of the nose. Sprague never knew the bullet was im- bedded in the bone until this week. A pain caused him to seek a physician, who inquired the cause of the scar. A little examination and the bullet was located. When extracted it weighed exactly one ounce. The wound is healing rapidly and Sprague will return to his family in a few days. He says he had never experienced pain from the wound since it healed up after the rude surgery in the fleld. Sprague is 60 years old and lives on a ranch near Spokane. —_———— Light Sentence for Safe-Robbers.

There have been ten robberies in Iowa since November 1. FORSAKES SOCIETY LIF 18, 1901 . FOR THEATRICAL CAREER Miss Eleanor C. Hab& the Latest Californienne to Seek Honors Amid Stageland Glitter. ; &a IS8 ELEANOR C. HABER is the latest society girl of San Francisco to determine upon a stage career. Miss Haber has decided talent to which the at- tention of managers in the East has been called. The result is that Miss Haber will leave for the East shortly, where she will complete her dramatic studies prior to her professional debut on the Gotham stage. Miss Haber is a daughter of the late well known auctioneer, H. I. Haber of the firm of Davis, Haber & Co. She is young, charming and a fine reader. On the even- ing of the 20th inst. she will appear as Jufilet in_the farce “Petticoat Perfidy” at Native Sons Hall on Mason street. This will be her first appearance in public, although the affair is strictly invitational. Prior to her departure for the East, Miss Haber will give a dramatic recital, which will be in the nature of a farewell to her friends. Miss Haber is popular in L e e o e e e ) MEADE DEPART FOR THE ORIENT Trouble of the Engineers Settled to Suit Those on Board. The United States transport Meade salled yesterday morning at 6 o'clock, the trouble in the engineer's department hav- ing been adjusted to the satisfaction of the engine room crew. The adjustment enabled the vessel to get away and means peace for the present voyage, but the Marine Engineers’ Assoclation will prob- ably take a hand in effecting a permanent understanding in the case of other trans- ports. ) The action of those of the Meade's en- gineers who resigned their positions rath- er than proceed on the voyage short handed is heartily indorsed by members of the association, and while the organ- ization has so far declined to take any official cognizance of the trouble there is a strong feeling of disapproval at the action of the men who replaced the re- ng officers. !"El’..ruhe8 transport service is pudc-flluly hard on the engineers’ department,” said one member of the association yesterday, “and cutting down the engine room crew is not only unfair to the engineer officers, but is inviting unnecessary danger and imperiling the safety of valuable Govern- ment property. It is necessary to main- tamn steam on transports from the time they leave here until their return. This makes it difficult and in some cases al- most impossible to attend to necessary overhauling of the boilers and other parts. ‘With a full complement every precaution necessary for safety can be taken, but short-handed a great deal must be left to luck. o “A Government transport,” he con- tinued, “‘engaged in tropical waters should have an even larger crew in thé engine room than would be necessary. on a steamship engaged on a regular commer- cial run. The Government will soon see the folly of attempting economy in this direction. The matter will be fully ex- plained by the association to the proper authorities, and I do not belleve there will be much more heard of reducing en- gine room crews on United States trans- pqll:!tfe. Marine Engineers A“ssoclatlon‘ is e most conservative organiza- flfi"x}’i‘i‘fl}hund in the worid. It has the respect of the shipping community and is not likely to do anything which will in any way hamper the Government. The assoclation is not through with the Meade affair, however, and before the next transport sails there will be a definite un- derstanding between the Government and the association as to the amount of as- sistance required in transport engine . '°-‘rTm is no blame attached to Captain tthews, the superintending engineer of the transport service at this port. In reducin; the crew of the M%flv‘h he was simply following orders from Washin, He understands the situation as well as any member of the Marine Engineers’ As- sociation, and will probably be an import- ant factor in restoring the old order of affairs. Boy Caught With Plunder. 5 Three boys were seen by Policeman Braig acting in a suspicious manner on Powell street, between Geary and Post, about 4 o'clock yesterday morning. They scattered and Braig succeeded in captur- ing one of them, who gave the name of 1§ Viner and his residence at 251 Ivy nve- nue. When searched fourteen packages of cigarettes and tobacco and a new pipe were found in his pockets. He said he got them from the other boys, whose names } he said were John Johnson and E d Mc- TFarlane. He was locked up injthe ‘‘tanks’ pending an investigation. ———————— Joe Bernstein to Retire.

LOCATE DEBTORS THAOUGH MAILS Scheme Is Worked by Bill Collectors in This City. A shrewd scheme 1s being worked through the United States mails by some of the bill collectors in the city. With the approach of the holiday season it is not unusual for persons to be notified by ex- press companies that prepaild packages are awaiting them at thelr offices and the receivers of the information have visions of presents from old Santa Claus. Hundreds of postal cards are being mailed by an ‘“express company” that exists only in the minds of its promoters. The postal card sent to the last known address tells the reciplent that a prepaid package awaits him at the office and will he “kindly fill out the return half of the postal card giving his correct address.” Uncle Sam delivers the postal to a new address when known. The bait is a tempting one and is swal- lowed. The ‘‘express company” has all replies sent to a post office box at the main postoffice, and the location of the “‘company” is of course’ unknown. Persons who take the bait, instead of recelving a package of ‘‘goodies” are furnishing their correct addresses for bill collectors, who use the above means to secure the desired information. The persistent bill collector will then haunt the abode or office of the debtor, ‘who wonders how his creditors found out his_new address. The postoffice . authorities state that there is no way to stop the use of the mails by the bill collectors in the manner indicated. They have carefully gone over the proposition, but the postal laws are not broad enough to prevent Uncle Sam's postoffice service being utilized for the purpose named. ] LOSES A PROPELLER IN A STORMY SEA Collier Victoria, From This Port, Is Towed Into Esquimalt by the San Mateo. VICTORIA, B. C., Nov. 17.—The collier Victoria; in ballast from San Francisco fc1 Ladysmith, was towed Into Esquimalt to-rdght by the colller San Mateo. The ‘Victoria lost her propeller while 300 miles off Cape Flattery and was drifting in a hclpless condition when her signals of distress were noticed by the San Mateo, which was also bound north. It was at first reported that the disabled steamer was the Northern Pacific liner Olympia, ghlcht left' here last Monday for the rient. The Victoria was in a heavy sea, and her propeHer clearing the water, her tail shaft broke and her propeller dropped off. The machinery was considerably damaged.

In his anger over So- pena's desire to ma his dapghter to oung Monroy the elder Monroy is said o have dashed acid into the old man's i face, burning him in a terrible manner. s — e 5 ‘Wounds Cause His Death.

You'll not regret it - DRUIDIC ORDER GAINS MEMBERS Monster Initiation Is| Held in Odd Fel- lows’ Hall Two Hundred Strangers Are | Inducted Into the Mysteries. Yesterday was a red-letter day in the history of Druidism in San Francisco, for in Odd Fellows' Hall nearly 200 strangers were Initiated into the mysteries of the | order in the presence of many of the grand officers and nearly 1000 Druids from the various groves of this city and those across the bay. The groves that had the greatest number of candidates initiated were Manzanita, with 78; Perseverance, 36; Hesperian, 17; McKinley, 11; Galileo, 7, and the other groves furnished from two to five each. The main hall had been arranged in the farm of a grove and on either side of the | hall chairs were set out in sections for | the candidates of each grove. The stage was occupleu by Noble Grand Arch Ju- | Hus S. Godeau, Past Supreme Arch L. G. Schord, Past Noble Arches L. F. Dunand and George H. Bahrs, Grand Secretary James F. Martinoni, Grand Treasurer F. J. Horn, Grand Mars| rge Beck, Grand Trustees A. M. Armstrong, Charles | de Leigh and members of the executive | committee. | After a few Introductory remarks by the | chairman of the executive committee, an | English-speaking team from ‘Golden Star | Grove, in appropriate costume and each | member wearing a long white beard, giv-| ing him the appearance of a venerable | Druid of olden time, was presented. This | team, a comparatively new one, did its | work in a very satisfactory manger, giv- Ing the ovate’s degree to all but those who had placed their membership in Per- | severance, the French grove. "The team | did some pretty floorwork, particularly ia | the formation of the initials of the gen- | eral password. The charges were well de- | livered and the members of the team were loudly applauded. | Then foilowed the French team, which in many respects was the equal of the | other, and in dramatic effect it surpassed it. The judges of the competition found | that each team had outclassed the other | in certain parts of the work, and that, | taken as a whole, each had done equally well, so they recommended that each be awarded a prize of equal value. | After the initiation Noble Grand Arch | Godeau delivered an address of welcome | to the newly initlated members. Past No- | ble Grand Arch Bahrs talked to the new | members upon their duty to the order ! they had joined and Past Noble Grand | Arch Dunand gaye their index to enable | them to study the history of Druidism, | 8o they can more fully appreciate the les- | sons taught in the ritualistic work. He | closed with an eloquent address on the | beneficial work, in which the order is en- | nrfed in this State. he chairman, after thanking all who | contributed to the success of the grand initlation, = heard those present sing | ‘“‘America,” after which the meeting was adjourned with three cheers for the noble grand arch. IDENTITY OF SUSPECTED TRAIN-ROBBER IN DOUBT Wyoming Officials Feel Certain That | He Is Butch Cassidy, a Noto- | rious Desperado. CHEYENNE, Wyo., Nov. 17.—Local of- the “Hole in the Wall" and ‘“‘Robbers’ Roost” gangs of outlaws in this State during the past five years, and who are acquainted with every member, say they are almost certain that the man under arrest in St. Louis for attempting to pass bank bills taken by the men who robbed the Great Northern train at Wagner, Mont., in July last is no other than Harry Longbaugh. Old_ residents of the State | who have known Longbaugh since he was | a boy, say the description.of the prisoner | answers that of L~.gbaugh. United States Marshal F. A. Hadsell knows Longbaugh well and feels certain he would be able | to identify him. Ex-Warden McDonald, of the State penitentiary, says he believes the prisoner is Butch Cassidy, the noted train and bank robber who served a num- ber of years in the Wyoming penitentiary. —_————— REASONS FOR RECALL OF PORTUGUESE MINISTER Cables the Death of President McKin- ley Three Days Before It Occurred.
