S. A., was among the arrivals from Manila yesterday. He registered at the Occidental. The distin- guished officer won fame through his bravery in the Philippines. He was one of the party of five Americans that cap- tured Aguinaldo, mear Palanan. The party was composed -of General on, his ald, Lieutenant Kitchell; Captain Hazzard, Lieutenant Hazzard and Captain Newton. Seventy-eight Macabebes, enemies of the Tagalogs, were also chosen by Funston to form the body the command. The Macabebes were ed out in castgff insurgent uniforms and the Am donned field-worn uni- for of privates.

Willats and a number of other grand officers, matrons, patrons and past officers. The_ scene as the new officers were marshaled into the hall by Minnie G. Stebbins and ranged in })osltlon around the altar to take the ob- igation was a very pretty one. After the obligation, the answering of questions by the worthy matron-elect as to her fealty to the order and the offering of a prayer by J. George Leibold, chaplain, the offi- cers were charged as to thelr specific du- tles in a very impressive manner. The officers who were so charged are: Bertha Wagner Stark, worthy matron; Phineas worthy patron; ssociate matron; Isadora Hor- 3 y; Marguerite Witmer, treasurer Cedelia Harmon, conductress; Jane McLaugh- ln, associate conductor; Julia A. Haste, chap- and a letter commanding the officer of the party to treat the Americans well, but to leave them outside the town. They all marched into the town and presented themselves to Aguinaldo, who came out on the porch of his house to see.them. The spokesman so completely hoodwinked Aguinaldo that he did not suspect the ruse. In the meantime the Macabebes. directed by Funston, maneuvered until they secured favorable points of vantage. At a given signal the entire party emptied their rifles into Aguinaldo’s body- guard. Aguinaldo and his staff retired into the interfor of his house. A native rushed into the house and grabbed Agui- paldo round the waist and he was cap- tured. PULLS GUN AFTER HIM AND IS BADLY WOUNDED E. B. Gould Meets With Painful Ac- cidént in Marshes Near San Rafael. E. R. Gould, a carpenter living at 5§ Myr- tle avenue, and employed by Fred J. Fern- hoff, 430 O'Farrell street, met with a pain- ful accident yesterday afternoon while hunting in the marshes near the brick- yards near San Rafael. In company with “Doc” Lopp, a friend, Gould left home on Friday afternoon for a few days’ hunting. Early yesterday morning they started out in @ boat and when. they were returning the accident occurred. Gould thought he had discharged the shells in his gun, and, grabbing it by the muzzle, pulled it after him. One of the triggers caught In the seat and the load of shot struck Gould in the groin. His friend gave him such attention as he could, placed him on a stretcher and brought him to the city on a late boat. Gould was taken to the Recelving Hospi- tal where Dr. McElroy made an examina- tion. Owing to the nature of the tnjury it was deemed best to remove him to a hos- pital where an operation could be per- formed. His friend accompanied him to the Lane Hospital, where it was said that his injury though painful was not dan- gerous.

Previous to the installation there was a short address of welcome by John Ton- ningsen, the worthy patron, and the chantiAg of the Lord's Prayer by the chapter quartet, composed of Mrs. Raiph Hathorn, Miss Esther Phillips, William Collins and George B.

After the proclamation of installaliorn’ by the marshal and an address by Worthy Grand Matron Mrs. Giberson, the presen- tation was made of the jewel on behaif of the chapter to the retifing matron, Mrs. Lizzie Tonningsen, by Chief George Wal- ter Wittman. The jewel Is in the form of the emblematic sfar of the order, pen- dant from a jeweled cimiter having in the center a three-carat diamond in a Templar cross, and three diamonds in the handle weighing one and ® quarter car- ats. In the center of the star, which 1s of gold with Oriental precious stoues forming the five points in appropriate col ors, there is a two-carat diamond, wh] at each peint of the star there is a large diamond. Within the spaces of the points are five branches, .each bearing a dia- mond, these weighing six carats. The cost of the jewel, which was designed by Theodore Fershtand, a member of the chapter, was $1500. Those Who Received Guests.

Hunter, a commercial travel- er for a New York house, met with a serious accident at the Occidental Hotel last evening. Hunter, after leaving the dining-room, was walking to his apart- ment, when he fell through the light shaf: from the third to the parlor floor. Two ladies were passing from the din- ing-room at the time and the unfortunate man fell close to thelr feet. The ladies screamed for assistance and the injured man was taken to his room. He was later removed to the Emergency Hospltal, where it was found that he had sustained a compound fracture of the right thigl, How the injured man came to fall gyer the railing is a mystery. 'In the history | of the hotel this is the first time that an accident of this kind has ever occurred Hunter arrived from New York on the 4th inst. and made himself very popujap ;hirindx ll-nstgrleé !;fl}" in %he house.

Report Current That Four Prelates Will Be Ap- pointed. \ Advices from Washington are to the effect that the Right Rev. George Mont- gomery, Bishop of the See of Monterey, is to recelve the appointment of Arch- bishop of Manila. These reports state that the appoint- ment will be made as a result of the meeting of the Archbishops of “America recently held in Washington. Arch- bishop Riordan was present at this meet- ing, and it is deciared that he made a strong appeal at these executive meet- ings on behalf of Bishop Montgomery. 1t Is also stated from KEastern advices that there will be four Archbishops ap- pointed. Mgr. Bernaréina Nozaleda de Villa, at present Archbishop of Manila, is expected to return to the Philippines for a year to straighten out all of his af- fairs before retiring. Father Fitzgerald, who is at present acting as Archoishop of Manila, has made a splendid record in the Philippines. He went to the isl- ands as chaplam of the Twenty-first In- fantry. To him much credit is due for the harmony that exists between the old Spanish clergy and the American Cath- olic priests that arrived there during the late war. It is conceded that I'ather Fitzgerald will be selected as one of the tour Archbishops appainted from Rome when the names are announced. Should the Right Rev. George Mont- gomery be elevated to an arcnbishopric sreat interest will be aroused in Cali- Iornia as to who will be his successor. It is thought to be more than probable that the Kev. Patrick E. Mulligan, who has held the important office of secretary to Archbishop Riordan for several years, will be the next Bishop of the diocese of Monterey. Father Mulligan has every- thing in his favor, as Archbishop Rior- dan greatly admires his secretary. Father Mulligan is now about 37 years of age and has great executive ability, The selection of a Bishop for the dio- cese of Montercy is made only after care- ful deliberation. The Archbishop of San Francisco, the Bishops of ' Sacramento and Utah meet and select the names of three men whom they think the most capable to fill the exalted position. "The pastors of Los Angeles also meet and they also send to Archbishop Riordan the names of three priests who they think would fill the office with honor. These names are then sent back to Rome for final decision. It is admitted, however, that the Arch- bishop’s selection would be most favored. The old Spanish See of Monterey is. full of traditions .and is-still a very wealthy diocese. It is sup{;flosed that should the rumored changes made bishop .. dan, “would select in Father 111~ gan's place as secretarfh-ssome Priest Tecently ordained ® The o gw'.‘af seeretary is:a most important post, it goes an immense amount of clerical work, besides the necessity of being pres- ent with the Archbishop at high functions, 2 gh church Excursion to Mexico.

SYTITPHONY Pages 33 0 44 A s s ey ] CONCERTS ATTRACT ATTENTION AND THEATERS ALL ANNOUNCE BILLS OF MERIT Lovers of Harmony Lodk Forward to Coming Treat, Their Appetite for Tusic Left Unsatisfied by ' Singers in Grand Opera. T is pleasant to be able to announce that the subscription sale for the three symphony concerts to be given under the auspices of the San Fran- cisco Symphony Society has much_ more than fulfilled the expectations ' of the officers and members of the sociaty. The single seat sale will open next. Tues- day morning at Sherman & Clay’'s music store. It is hoped that the sale will ex- hibit the same encouraging features as that of the subscription seats. The first concert of the series will take place next Friday atfernoon at 3:15 sharp, by the way, and also with the excellent proviso that no one will be seated during the performance of a number. Mr. Steji- dorfl is pleased, and with good reasdn, at the “form” of his men. Rehearsals are going with a continued increase of en- thusiasm. Giulio Minetti has been ap- pointed concertmeister, and in the choice Mr, Steindorff has shown the wisdom and tact that, as much as good musicianship, £0 to make the good leader. Mr. Minetti is thoroughly well equipped for his im- portant post and is a vaiuable acquisi- tion to the strength of the orchestra. Mr. Steindorff will also have under his baton almost all of the best orchestral materlal in San krancisco, and it is not a little to the credit of the city that fifty-five mu- sicians of the caliber of those to be found in the symphony orchestra can be gath- ered together here. It now only remains for the public to do its part as nobly as it has dune during the recent opera sea- son, but with the rurther impulse of help- ing the local musician. No more signifi- cant musfcal movement has been inaug- urated in the city since the Scheel sym- phony concerts and none with a fairer promise of success. It is to be devoutly hoped all round that the series will be successful, no more infallible measure of a community’s musical standard being availa... than that of the standing of its symphLony society. As an educational means it Is unequaled, and as music pure and stmple the sympliony remains uhap- proachcd. There are ail kinds of use- fulness open to a standing orchestra also, The visiting artists who come here can be heard in their finest efforts, in the con- certos and orchestraily accompanied num- bers that have heretofore been denied us. Hofmann comes in the spring, also Nor- dica and Geraray, and there is already gossip concerning a joint concert with singer and orchestra, and the orchestra with the famous pianist and cellist. It all depends on the public that has so far done nobly, but all the ipport possible is essential to a solid s SS. L e e e —_— o CLANS ESTATE DN PROPERTY Lena Eisner, administratrix of the es- tate of her father, the late Oscar Rein- stein, who died September 16, 1900, is suing J. B. Reinstein, her brother, to recover moneys and property in his possession, which she claims is part of her father's estate. She claims. that a life insurance policy policy for 815,000 left by her father was made payable to J. B. Reinstein, the de- fendant, as security for certain sums ad- vanced by the defendant to her father to pay the premium on the policy. The property in question is a one-half interest in a lot on Ellis street, west of vVan Ness avenue, which also stands in the name of the défendant. Mrs. Eisner ciaims that before her fath- er's death he put the property in his son's name to secure him against loss for moneys advanced to pay iaxes and other expenses. he advances made by the defendant, alleges Mrs. Eisner, do not amount to $15,000, and she asks the court to direct her brother to render an accounting and show thereby the exact sums he lvaned nis father. Mrs. Elsner alleges that the property and the money received by Reinstein is part of the estate of Oscar Reiustein, not- withstanding the fact that it stands in the name,of J. B. Reinstein, and that the de- fendant should be compelled to turn it over to her as_administratrix of her father’s estate. Her sult is based on the allegation that the value of the insurance licy and the one-half interest in the llis-street property is greater than the Ewd houses. Clyde Fitch’'s “Barbara rietchie’” was one of the hits of the last Neill season, it will be remembered. “The Cowboy and the Lady” promises to be at least equally interesting. The scenes are laid in Colorado, and a good local color is said to be one of the attractions of the play. It has a plot that cheers, and in its working-out affords the witty Mr. Fitch ' opportunity for much of his characteristically smart dialogue. SRl Jeft de:Angelis In “A Royal Rogue,"at the Columbia Theater this week, prom- 1ses a comic opera relief to ‘the grand opera sublimities of the last month. Jeff de Angelis . is a demi-Californian—toat {s, he was born and ‘“raised” here, but has -not. fllumined his native land for something like twenty years now. It would be offering too serious _reflec- tion on the ages-of the Columbia clientele to say that the singer will be warmly welcomed by a large -circle of admiricg friends to-morrow evening, but accord=- ing-to’ the press agents there are other reasons to welcome De Angelis, He seems to have a good attraction in “A Royal Rogue,” and‘is credited with a consid- "lt.h capacity as a comic operator him- sel Alfred Bouvier and Willlam L.

The Big Oak Flat and Yosemite Stage Company is negotiating with a New York automobile company for the construction of twelve autos constructed to carry 12 passengers each. The auto company guarartees these machines to be specially adapted to handle passengers with ease on mountain roads. Wm. J. White, the general passenger and ticket agent of the stage company, will leave for the East on January 5. Paul Morris, the superin- tendent of the stage company, as well as others thinks that the machines are as yet imperfect for mountain grades. The Stage company will hold its coaches and horses until Mr. White makes his re- port, which will be about February 15, as he will ‘give the autos a fair test. The people in the mountains are very anxious as to the outcome. —_—— Found Starving in a Shack.

The Pavilion site sale was discussed, but was left as it stands at present. P. J. Healy, denominated the “‘obstrep- erous obstructor,” neariy wrecked the meeting. When the nomination of trus- tees came up in regular order he read a list of geveral hundred names for the seven vacancies. Hooted and howled at by the members, he continued his pro- tracted reading of nomineés. The chair told him he was trying to make things ridiculous, but Healy clalmed his consti- tutional privilege and continued. He got his names from the city airectory, accord- ing to the interrupting members, who de- clared that many of those mentioned were dead or out of town. AS it now stands, about half the members of the in- stitution are named for trustees on the next ticket. It was decided to leave the legislation on the offer for sale of the Pavilion site untouched.
