Ah Pye Tsung Draws Crowd—*“Deadheads” Rush Doors. When Ejected They Stone Police, Who Use Clubs and Make Arrests. There were lively times in Chinatown last night in and around the Washington- street Theater on account of the first ap- pearance of e distinguished Oriental actor, Ah Pye Tsung. Incidental to the debut In this city of the famous tragediay and all around comedian, there were a few broken heads jand some arrests by the bluecoats of Chief of Police Wittman. Ah Pye Tsung has for some time de- lighted the Mongolians of New York, and when it was announced that he was to | appear in this city there was a rush for | reserved seats at the Washington-street | Theater., The elite of Chinatown—of the alleys and other by-ways—turned out in full force to give eclat to the first night of | Ah Pye Tsung in a thrilling Chiness play that wasdprazrammed to continue nightly for an indefinite period. Every seat in the theater was taken and | | | the belles and matrons of the Mongolian | quarter had as much reason to compiain of the crowded condition of the aisles of | the Washington-street Theater as the | 400" of San Francisco’s society had when ' Manager Grau recently presented grand | ghera with Emma Eames and Mme.

The Chinese who were driven from the aisles demanded their money back and abused the money takers and ushers with afl the force of the language of Confu- clus. Some of the more boisterous Chinese who were compelled to vacate the aisles were ejected from the theater, and their appearance on the street was the signal for trouble from a mob that had collectéd there, unable to secure entrance to the, theater. I Chinatown theatrical managers suffer ' from as many ‘dead-heads” as do the managers of theaters elsewhere and the ‘stuffers” were the cause of last night's trouble. They made a determined rueh past the ticket takers and ushers when the police were e!:ecung some of the Noisy ones who had refused to vacate the alsl‘es. .. The bluecoats again formed into a “fiy~ ing weage” and the aisle of the theater wae cleared. When the ‘“dead-heads” found themsélves out in the cold they re- taliated by picking up rocks and stones rrcfln a convenient heap and pelting the police. Froperty Man Reassures Audience.

Josef Hofmann, the famous pianist, who will be heard here in recital during the week, arrived in town Iste last night. He is staying at the Palace Hotel. It is the i 3 | first visit of the youthful virtuoso to San | Francisco, though he is well known in! the East, where he made his first appear. ance fourteen years ago as a child wonder. Mr. Hofmann says he has long been looking forward to a visit to California, but, unitke the politic majority of visit: ing’ artis! expresses himself dis- appointed. “I knew I should be,” he said, with & deepening of the dimple that adorns his right cheek—that which should be on the | left has dropped into his chin. “Every | one told me that it was warm, warm, | warm, here. But everywhere 1 go, if there are only three cold days in the | year, I get them. They all tell me this s | unusually cold here. I knew itjwould be. Otherwise Mr. Hofmann 1s highly pleasel with his brief Californian experiences so far and is in excellent form. He is amaz- | ingly youthful in appearance, with a | bright, boyish smile and unpretentious manner that are very taking. His youth- ful air is amusingly incongrucus with the mature thought and keen wit that mark | his_conversation, and if he plays as well | as he talks—and it looks that way—there | is a treat In store for those fortunate enough to attend his recitals. Mr. Hof- mann was & pianist of mark when he was but 10 years old. He is 24 now, and, ac- cording to report, each year has brought its wih. The virtuoso expresses no preference for any particular poser, and the programmes to be play this week are notable for their eclectl Beethoven, Liszt and Chopin are equ: , with others of less marked characteristics, and altogether the Ho'rmi:nn r?clu}: bid tlslr t&:ntm in public interest anything since Pad- mv'“lkl recitals. | | cumstantial account of Rakowski's arrl | this coming the life of President Roosevelt, will ar- rive in this city to-day from Vancouver Barracks.

He leased his imagina- tion to the Examiner a few days ago, and as the result the latter published a ci; i val, an interview with the prisoner and a | talk with his guards: one “‘a sergeant who | stands more than ix feet,” and the other rivate of almost equal stature.” i “With such secrecy,” sald the Exam- | iner, “was he (Rakowski).taken to the | military prison that the offictals deny that he is there.” It was learned from the.authorities at Angel Island yesterday that they ad been notified of Rakowski's departure from Vancouver” Barracks, and that he would probably reach San Francisco to- day. ® | | | ———— Republicans Elect Officers, At the annual meeting of the Young | Men’s Republican League, representing ! the Fourth and Fifth Congressional Dis- | tricts, the following officers were electe President, Frank K.

PAUL'S LIFE Cause of His Conversion Told at St. Mary's Church. Paullst Fathers Oelebrate Patronal Feast of That Order. The feast of the conversion of St. Paul was celebrated at old St. Mary’s Church yesterday by the fathers of the congre- gation of St. Paul, with deeply impressive ceremonies. This occasion is one of the great days in the calendar of the order, for as a majority of the Paullsts were of other beliefs before they embraced Ca- tholicy, the life of St. Paul and the les- sons cbtained therefrom’ furnish-the in- spiration of their life work. Gathered within the sanctuary rail were the representatives of the missionary orders of the Catholic church, Jesuits, Franciscans and Marists, while Arch- bishop Riordan, clad in his pontifical robes, occupied a magnificently appoint- | ed throne, and was attended by priests clad in the most magnificent vestments, The altars were resplendent in colored fairy lights whick peeped out among the masseés of flowers that decorated the altar. Father M. P, Smith, rector of old St. Mary’s Church, was the celebrant of the mass, He was assisted by Father Do- ran of Menlo ParR, as.deacon, and Fath- er Hopper, as subdeacon. Father Mulli- gan, S. J., was assistant pries, while Father “Hamet, & .. and Father Onestmus, O. F. M., were the deacons of honor and occupted seats adjacent to the throne of Archbishop Riordan, Among the other priests who occupied seats within the sanctuary were the Very Rev. J. P, Frien, S. J., Father Cot- tle of St, Brigid’s, Father Caraher of 8t, Francis, Father O’Riordan of Berkeley, Father Augustine, O. F. M., of St. Boni- face, and Brothers Erminold of - St, Mary’s College, Oakland, and Xenophon of Sacred Heart College. A large num- ber of acolytes also assisted in the cere- monies, Father Harvey Delivers Sermon. The sermon was preached by Rev. F. M. Harney of St. Patrick's Seminary, Menlo Park. Father Harvey, although young man, is a forceful and logical \gpeaker, and gracefully handled his subject, taking as his text a verse from . John, “This is the oratory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” He sald in part: St. Paul was born in Tarsus, in Silicia, which was the seat of learning fn his time, The great culture in art, Iiterature and phil- osophy and training in the Roman law that were to be had in bis native town were the influences that stamped themselves in his a ter life and enableéd him to do such good work in converting the gentiles. He was deeply versed in the knowledge of the old law, 8o that when this new Christian sect appeared he determined to do everything in his power to stamp it from the earth. He started for Damascus to carry on this fight against the Christlans. A voice from heaven demanded to know -the reason of his | errand. St. Paul asked “who speaks?’ and the voice answered I am Jesus, whom thou persecuteth.’”” St. Paul went to his destina- tion and to the house of the man' whom he ' intended to destroy. ~There he received the spirtt of the Holy Ghost and the new faith, and a mew world was opened to his vision. He went forth imbued with the one idea of gain- ing the world for Christ. The Spirit of Faith. Tpe state of the Roman sworld fair without and foul within, vet owing to this spirit of faith which animated him he trana- formed it into a Christian people. of faith has a practical lesson for all Cath- olic people, priests and laymen, for we are all, as the Scripture tells ue by’ our baptism, kinge and priests. God has charg as he did Paul_to-deliver that meseage ith o our ‘brethréen who are in darkness and the shadow of death. There lies before us an old Roman world to which Paul came down and returned victorious, a world to be Won again to Christ by the ex- ample of our daily lives and by a thorough knowledge and fearless yet gentle defense of our faith. The world t5-day i€ one in which luxury is deifled; in which wealth and amuse- ment are the crowning” prizes which men are commanded to strive f6f' and, if need be, to die for; in which. while good deeds are heid in esteem and almsgiving and all forms of charity respected, faith, the supernatural vir- tue that gives eternal value to good works fs almost entirely lacking. 7 St. Paul made of every convert an apostie to arry the truth to his unenlightened brethren, while we Who are born to the faith are apt to conceal it in & napkin and bury it in the earth. Yet we are kings and priests as the apostie tells us, and each of us owes his death of faith to the world. The music was a special feature of the celebration. Silas’ Grand Mass in C was rendered by the choir, under the direc- tion of Organist Harvey Loy. cipal selections were given by the qua: tet composed of Mrs. Noonan, Mrs. Wi was burn and Messrs. Wood and Hrubanyh, assisted by a large chorus. A motat, written in honor of 8t. Paul by the o1 ganist and entitled “Tu es vas Elec- tiones,” was tendered at the offertory. JEFFRIES-SHARKEY MATCH. Froposed mgm—n Declared Off, Ofi- 1 cially, by Those Interested. The proposed fight in this city between Jeffries and Sharkey has been officlally declared off. This conclusion was reached last night at a conference between Harry Corbett, representing the Yosemite Ath- letic Club, and Billy Delaney, who repre- sented Jeffries. ublic opinfon was against the matching of the men.and they bowed to tHe inevitable. Delaney then reiterated Jeffries’ stand- ing challenge to fight any man in the world, bar none. The c¢hampion is par- ticularly anxfous to fight Fitzsimmons, but the Cornishman is side-stepping the meeting. The ’gusemne Club expects to match the winners of the Root-Gardner and Choyn- ski-“Wild Bill” Hanrahan fights for its February exhibition. ——————— Helpers of Zion Meet.

EAOWERS FENR 1055 OF MONEY Fruit Association’s Dis- soluticiq Presents Problems. Packing House at Santa Clara Will Cause Controversy. Special Disatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Jan. 25.—The big packing- house recently built and equipped at San- ta Clara by the California Cured Fruit Association at a cost of about, $30,000 ‘will be a bone of contention in' the dissolution of the association, which {s to take place in the next few months. After the last dfs. tribution of dividends, when'it 1s said up- wards of $500,000 will be disburséd, this packing-house will remain: Under a forced sale ft will not bring near what it ! cost, and many of the growers fear that i their money has gene to equip art up-to- 1 date packing-house which will fall into the hands of some of the packers and which will be a factor, after they have no organization, of forcing prunes down close to the one cent a pound figure, Another assertion by the growers is that some of the officers of the company in tend to buy the building in for a mere sOong, organize a private company under the name of the present assoctation, pre- pare the same brand of goods and reap the benefit of the many thousands of dol- lars of their money that was spent in ad- vertising throughout the East a year ago. The annual meeting shortly to be held {to wind up the affairs of the assoclation Sramluea to be an interesting one, The ividend just declared by the assoclation on the basis of 114 cents per pound on the | basis of the four sizes, in which some $60,000- will be distributed, shows that less than 10 per cent of the 3700 members of the association delivered thefr fruit to the association this year. The directors of the association are dis- couraged and realize that it will be use- less to try and eontinue the association after the Ist of June, when the contracts Wwith =~ the growers expire. Santa Clara County growers are accused of being the ones who disrupted the assoclation, as they comprise the majority of the asso- clation. . Charles Forman of Los Angeles, a director of the Cured Fruit Association, in writing to President Woods expresses himself ag follows: LOS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 1 F. N. Woods, San Jose, Cal considerable thought recently to of what is best to be doné about winding up the affaits of the association, and T have come to the conclusion that a meéting of the memn- bers should be called at an early day and « report of what has becn done since the last meeting be submitted to them and ask them to decide as soon as possible what they wish | done with the assoctation. 1902. 1 have given the question grown -in Santa Clara County, and as the growers of that county have caused all the trouble with the association, it fs now up 1o them to assume all the responsibility if the assoclation fs forced to go out of business and the price of prunes go back to 1 cent per pound. 2 Combines are the order of the day. All pro- ducers combine except the farmers and frult- srowers. I think the meeting should be calie. | @ early as possible so that it may be definitely scttled whether the assoclation should cease to exist or not, without waiting for the annual mieeting. If anything is to be done looking to continuing the ‘association it should be done long before the st of June. Personally I think nothitg can be dons toward combining until the growers of Santa Clara. County have another dose of prunes ot 1 cont per pound for two or three vears, 1 do not belleve the assoctution could suctesd even if the growers, would all deliver their Princs to the association under a moral ob- Jigation to do_so, for you cannot secure the | confidence of Eastern dealers in your abflity to maintain prices unless you have a contract that is enforceable by law. Jf the prune growers of Santa Clara County Tét the assoctation dic, let all the hard wo that has been done in its behalf, and let a the experience that has be¢n gained by the assoclation during thé past two vears go for naught, I think it will be a very long time batore ‘they will be able again to secure the co-operation of the balance of the State.
