The Hackmen’s Union members are wrathy over the fact that George Silver- who was arrested a few days ago a charge of robbery, gave his occupa- tion as that of a hackman. The members of the union declare that Silverstein is not a hackman and never has been one in city. The hackmen about town feel the publication of the statement that stein wae a heckman in connection the robbery story may injure their iness with strangers who come to this GRAPE-NUTS. AN “EXPANSIVE” GIRL. Wot Necessarily an Expensive One. A little Kansas girl is called an “expan- sionist” because her clothes require “let- ting out” so often. She lives mostly on Grape-Nuts since recovering from a sick spell caused by too much greasy food. Almost all ailments of children (and grown folks as well) are traceable to the wrong kind of food, and the surest cure is to quit the old sort, the greasy, pasty, undercooked or overdone things, that ruin the stomach and bowels. Put the children and adults on the per- fectly cooked food, Grape-Nuts. It is digested by the weakest stomach.

SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 10.—The St. | Raphael Catholic Church of this city has { been robbed. Burglars entered the sacred | edifice some time Jast night and caused | much damage, besides carrying away the contents of the poorboxes. After finish- ng their work in the church they broke . | into the parish school and did consider- | able damage there. | The burglars gained entrance to the church by forcing open a window. They | ransacked the place completely, even in- cluding the vestry-room, and carried off considerable plunder. The boxes used for donations to the poor were broken open, but the contents amounted to only a few dollars. | The entrance to the schoolhouse was likewise gained through a window. The desks were ransacked and the contents of many of them thrown on the floor, but nothing was found missing this morning. —— e Union Coopers Win. The differences existing between the boss ~coopers and their employes have been settled by the bosses ylelding to the demands of the men. The main demand was for an advance in wages and a nine- hour day. Men formerly receiving $2 75 are to get $3 %, and those receiving $3 25 will get $3 7. The stationary electrical workers have formed a union, to be known as' No, 283. It will be affiliated with the Labor Coun- cil as soon as its charter is passed upon. gl e s i Believe He Is Insane.

LIFE OF PLAIN PULSATES IN THE WILD WEST SHOW Major Burke, Colonel Cody’s Right Hand Man, Leaves To-Day in Advance of Circus, | | * HERE is no sham about Buffalo Bill's wild west, neither is there about its genial general manager, Major John M. Burke. He is an old Indian fighter and has a rec- ord as a plainsman that makes his name of “Arizona John” a household. word in the frontier country. Still more, he is a jolly soul, and wherever the Wild West show has been he numbers his friends by hundreds. Clubmen and frontiersmen aiike love him for his genuineness and his Jollity. His stories are famous, his laugh is cortaglous. He is Colonel Cody’s right hand man, and if he should quit smiling the warwhoop of the Indians would die away and the broncos would refuse to buck. Major Burke will leave San Francisco to-day to- break the news of the Wild West’s coming in other cities of the coast, and he will continue in advance of the show on its long tour, which is to end in England. He is a brave man who rides in the park these days, for the correct riding acad- emy style is no longer popular with the 8 11 boy and he does not hesitate to ex- press his disapro Indeed, the men and women who have seen Buffalo Bill's “‘congress of rough riders of the world” do not care much for hothouse horseman- ship any ‘more, and judging from the crowds that fill the great show place ev- ery afternoon and evening, not many will f— X3 MANAGER OF BUFFALO BILL'S WILD WEST, WHO IS ALWAYS AHEAD OF SCOUT'S SHOW. =i let the Wild West depart without having | seen it. The riding of those bands of daring horsemen gets into the blood of the spec- tator and soon he is swaying and swing- ing and pirouetting with the mad whirl of Cossacks, Arabs, cowboys and cavalry- men. It no longer seems natural to walk, once you have seen those men in the sad- dle, with every motion of horse and rider in perfect accord and every bend and dip of the wonderful performance showing the mastery of the man over the horse he bestriaes. Though Tuesda; holiday crowd fairly overwhelmed the show grounds, yesterday saw little diminution in the attendance. | Both in the afternoon and at night, the crowded cars running toward the old Bay District track formed one of the sights of the city, and the great tent’s capacity was none too large to accommodate the thou- sands. Though the day has been deemed the better time for seelng the Wild West Show, the night furnishes lights and shad- ows that add immensely to the spectacu- lar features. This is particularly true in the case of the camp scene the night be- fore the battle of San Juan Hill. The show’s arena iIs big enough for the camp of a brigade, and the lights are manipu- lated to make the scene most realistic. Night falls and the colored troopers sing ‘“‘America” with inexpressible sweetness. Taps sounds and the last light flickers out. Then day ‘breaks, more bugle calls ring out, and an army is marching before the eyes of the delighted spectators. The at- tack on the block-house at the top of the hill 1s a thrilling spectacle, and the flash of fire from the machine gun and the Krag-Jorgensens is a display that offsets any possible advantage of the day per- formance. Buffalo Bill leads a life during the two daily exhibitions that for strenuosity would delight even President Roosevelt. It is the famous old scout and Indian fight- er’s life, and not all the wealth he has ac- cumulated and the petting he has received can tempt him away from the crack of the rifle and the wild flight of the West- | ern horse, and he is the conquering hero of the Wild West. the embodiment of the courageous, free-hearted, chivalrous life of the American plains. Buffalo Bill and his show have a unique place in the affec- tions of the people. L e e e e, ) BRIBE-GIVER MAY NOT ESCAPE St. Louis Scandal Prom- ises More Big Sen- sations. o ST. LOUIS, Sept. 10.—All but six of the nineteen members of the alleged combine of the House of Delegates who are under indictment on various counts charging bribery and perjury in connection with the passage of measures granting valu- able franchises to public corporations, are or have been under arrest. Those who are still at large are: Delegate Charles F. Kelly and former Delegates Emile Hartman, Louis Decker, John A. Sheridan, all wanted on charges of bri- bery and perjury; former Delegate Ju- lius Lehman, charged with bribery and already under sentence of two years in the penitentiary for perjury, and former Delegate Adolph Madera, charged with bribery and perjury. Madera is supposed to have been located in Colorado, but the authorities will not say where. It is reported that a detective has been sent to bring Madera to St. Louis. It was learned to-day that Sheridan, who lived at the Hurst Hotel, was last seen there Monday. He left hurriedly on the day when the Murrell confession was made public. The whereabouts of the others is unknown to the authorities, who are watching the homes of the miss- ing. Circuit Attorney Folk is. confident he will soon have them all in custody. The friends of Hannigan, Schnettler, Gutke,_ Helms and Schumacher, who were remanded to jail yesterday because of their inability to furnish bail to - the amount of $45,000 each, are making stren- uous efforts to secure their release. At- torneys John A. Gernse and Chester H. Krum have been retained to appear be- fore the Supreme Court and secure writs of habeas corpus, if possible. Delegate Faulkner's proffer to turn State’s evi- dence and make a clean breast of all the operations of the House combine came too late and was declined by Circuit At- torney Folk. Edward E. Murrell, Speaker of the House in the days of the lighting and suburban bills, was released from cus- tody to-day after his bond for $15,000 had been signed bg Emile G. Woertchek, a contractor. nly one charge, that of bribery, it is now stated, rests against Murrell. He has made a confession to Circuit Attorney Folk and will be a State’s witness. “I have made a full statement to Mr. Folk,” sald the former Speaker, as he left the Four Courts building, “but I am not at liberty to say anything for publi- cation.” No session of the Grand Jury was held to-day, but to-morrow when that body FIREBUG’S TORCH IGNITES A BARN San Rafael Incendiary Starts His Sixteenth Blaze. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, Sept. 10.—Again has the notorious San Rafael firebug used his torch and for the sixteenth time in a few months has the fire department been called out to subdue a conflagration of in- cendiary origin. Fire was discovered at 8:30 o’clock to-night by some children in the Geiske barn, just to tne rear of sev- eral fine stores and next to the Lombardi Hotel.

Many Attractive Features Will Be Provided for the Visitors. HAYWARDS, Sept. 10.—With success as their object, the Native Sons and the Na- tive Daughters of this town are working like bees at the task of harmonizing the details for the carnival and street fair that is to be held on September 17, 18, 19 and 20. Eden Parlor of the Native Sons and Haywards Parlor of the Native Daughters are allied in this effort. ‘With the proceeds of the carnival the Natives purpose to pay off the $1000 in- debtedness that has been hanging over their hall for a long time. The fair will be conducted much after the manner of the recent Elks’ fair in Oakland, which | was such a financlal success. Originally it was planned to hold the fair in the plaza, which the Town Trus- tees agreed to set apart for the purpose. This plan was abandoned; however, when a better site was picked out in the neigh- borhood of the Native Sons’ Hall. It :s proposed to utilize the, hall and the sireets adjacent to it for the exhibition. The Natives have built their fair inclo- sure, Dr. F. W. Browning directing. Within the grounds there will be many things to amuse and instruct. Altogether | there will be twenty-five concessions, all of them first-class shows. Some of the Lest ones from the Elks’ fair will bc there. One of the unique features will be a political booth, where visitors wiil cast votes for the most popular candidate at the coming election. This rendezvous | for politicians and their friends will be presided over by Miss Lillie Walpert, one of the prominent workers, The Native Sons will run a co-operative store, where ‘“‘everything under the sun” will be sold at 10 cents an article. Pret- ty Native Daughters will be employed as salesladies. Some of those who have ac- cepted employment are Mrs. K. L. Cas- sity, Mrs, S. D. Smalley, Mrs. A. J. Pow- ell, Mrs. M. B. Templeton, Miss Alice Garretson, Miss Lena Harder and Miss Ella Horn. A county jail will be built on the grounds for the reception of all offenders agairst the rules. Native Son policemen will hustle the fellows who step on the grass off to the bastile, where they will be convicted and fined. FORMAL OPENING. The fair will be formally opened Wed- nesday evening at 6 o’clock. That will be Workmen_ day, to be participated in by all the lodges of the A. O. U. . in Alameda County. Speech-making will ac- company the opening of the gates. Dr. George C. Pardee, the Republican candi- date for Governor, and a Master Work- man, has been invited to make the open- ing address. P. J. Crosby and other prom- inent citizens and visitors will also speak. In the evening the A. O. U. W. will pa- 1ade and entertain in Native Sons’ Hall. The conferring of the ‘“Degree of Mephis- tugheles“ will provide fun for the multi- vde. The second day, Thursday, will be For- esters’ day. The local lodge of Foresters has extended invitations to other lodges in the county and a big gathering is ex- pected. Grand Chief Ranger E. 1. Wolfe will deliver an address and an entertain- ment will be given for the entertainment of the friends of the order. The Woodmen will have charge of af- fairs on Friday afternoon and evening. State Organizer Temple will be present to make an address. Exhibition drills will be given by the drill teams of the Woodmen camps from San Jose, Oak- land and San Francisco. Saturday will be Natives’ and Elks’ day. The Natives and Elks have promised to come in troops from everywhere and an interesting programme will be given. During the afterncon the Boys’' Band from the Masonic Home at Decoto will render selections. Children will be ad- mitted on that day for 5 cents and adults for 10 cents. The transportation committee has se- cured a 2-cent round trip rate from the Oakland Transit for the four evenings of the fair after 6 o’clock. The Southern Pacific Company is expected to give a 50- cent excursion rate from San Francisco. DAUGHTERS’ COMMITTEES.

RIVERSIDE, Sept. 10.—Samuel Cary Evans, who for more than a quarter of a century has been Riverside’'s. wealth- jest citizen and who more than any other man has been instrumental in the devel- opment of Riverside's resources, died this afternoon at the age of 78 years.: Mr. Evans came to Riverside from Fort ‘Wayne, Ind., in 1875, shortly after the settlement was started. He purchased a tract of land comprising several thou- sand acres, where now the choicest or- ange groves are located, and built a canal costing more than $100,000 to convey water to it. He organized the Riverside Land and Irrigating Company and the River- side Canal Company and acquired by purchase the Southern California Colony Association and its holdings of orange lands. In 1892 Mr. Evans established the Riverside National Bank and a savings bank, building a splendid home for them. He has for years been a director in local corporations. He lald out the famous Magnolia- avenue, which for years has been an attractive feature of the city, and gave to the town its.public park. His estate is worth $1,000,000. It is under- stood the bulk of the property has been conveyed by deed to his two sons, 5. C. Evans Jr. and P. T. Evans. The funeral will take place on Friday and will be conducted by the Odd Fel- ‘lows, of which the deceased was one of the oldest members in the State. ¥ ————— Sage Suffers Sudden Illness. : NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—Russell Sage be- came {1l at his office to-day and went to his town house, where his physician at- tended him.

De Padova’s Iago at the Tivoli in the week's “Otello” is being commented upon a great deal by the theater-goers. Much interest was aroused in the interpretation through the fact of its coming into com- petition with Salassa’s memorable con- ception, perhaps the finest bit of acting ever seen at the Tivoli. That De Padova manages to please so thoroughly in the role is very high testimony to his equip- ment, and the lavish “‘braves” that greet him in the performance witness the warmth of esteem that he-has won for himseif. Vocally, of ‘course, De Padova is more richly endowed than the great old artist who won our first love in the part, though neither in his singing nor his acting 1s there the same consummate art exhibited. But there is more fire, more force and a delightful sense of se- curity in his vocal climaxes, as well as ample humor and subtlety in the concep- tion. Again, De Padova’'s dramatic wit is ready and pliant, and perhaps only the long experlence of the Maestro Sa- lagsa is needed to give him the repose and exquisite finish that distinguished our | first dear old lago. In one thing only De Padova can never satisfy us as deep- ly as Salassa—in the exceptional truth of intonation that usually characterized his work, There is a constant tendency to sharp on De Padova's part, but—where so much is worthy one geed not cavil at the rest. Anyway, De Padova's lago is worth going to hear, even if Venerandi were not really touching his top notch as Otello. Montaneri does the Desde- mona_only fairly well, and Anna Wilson is_a pleasing Emilia, The alternating bill of the week has been changed to “La Favorita,” in con- sequence of the illness of Tina de Spada —the little soprano is cutting a wisdom tooth. Agostinj is heard to much advan- tage in the opera, Dado’s fike basso rings out nobly and Pozzi fills the title role. Next week the fine Ponchielli opera “La Gioconda” will be put on, with “La Tra- viata” as the alternating bill. LS Good news for the many is the an- nouncement that Denis O’Sullivan’s en- gagement at the Grand Opera-house in the Boucicault dramas will be extended for one week more with a repertoire of the dramas in which he has been seen. Mr. O’Sullivan’s success has been phe- nomenal and will probably result in a popular revival of the Irish drama. His play this week is “The Colleen Bawn, in which the actor is appearing with marked success. Monday, Tuesday and ‘Wednesday evenings of next week will be devoted to “Arrah Na Pogue”; on Thurs- day the only performance of “The Col- leen Bawn” will be given, and on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings, with Sat- urday and Sunday matinees, “The Shaughraun” will hold the stage. e Mk “The County Fair” at the Columbia Theater seems to be as big a favorite as ever. The present production is excep- tionally inviting. Neil Burgess, as usual, has the role of Abigail Prue, and brings a strong company. The scenic embellish- ments, effects and general stage work show to great advantage and the race pictures displayed give a splendid idea 6f a visit to a county fair. “The County Fair’ will remain the attraction at the Columbia Theater all of this and mnext week, including Sunday nights. Follow- ing this performance will appear the fa- vorite old actor, J. H. Stoddard, in a mag- gmc;m. production of “The Bonnie Briar ush.” e e “Miss Pendragon,” Charlotte Thomp- son’s new play at the Alcazar Theater, is a succes de curiosite and is filling the house nightly with crowds interested in its eccentricities and always Interested in anything Miss Roberts does. Next week the popular actress will be seen in her greatest success, “Zaza,” which, after a six weeks’ run at the opening of the sea- son, has been largely redemanded. Miss Roberts is in the final weeks of her en- gagement. sk & The last “bargain matinee” of the Neill season will be given this afternoon at the California, with “The Red Knight” as the bill. The comedy will also be presented to-night and at the Neills’ farewell per- formance to-morrow night.

MENZIES ESTATE GASH 13 STOLEN Nephew of Late Steve- dore Defaulter in Sum of $20,000. Surviving Daughters of the Decsased Are Victims of Cousin’s Theft. The estate of the late Stewart Menzies | has been looted to the extent of 320,000, | and the loss will fall upon the two sur- | viving daughters of the deceased, Mrs. F. A. Last of Los Angeles, wife of Gen- | eral Last, First Regiment, National | Guard of California, and Miss Sarah Men- | zies of this city. They are the victims of | Graham Menzies, their cousin and until | recently confidential secretary and book- | keeper of the firm of Stewart Menzies & i Co. The two women, who are the legatees, | were willing to stand the loss and ob- jected very much to having the embezzle- ment_made public. To this, however, Al- bert McFadden, principal surviving mem- ber of the company, protested strongly, and asked for an accounting. GONE TO A FOREIGN LAND. Graham Menzies, the embezzler, is now in some foreign land, whither he was shipped by his relatives. Before leaving he promised that he would repdy every cent that he took, and the two daughters of the late stevedore, satisfled to have their scapegoat relative at a distance, said they would not prosecute. The intentions of Mr. McFadden have not yet been announced. Several years ago Graham Menaies, then a young man just starting out in life, was given a position by his uncle with the company of which he was the head. He rose to the ‘Posilion of confi- dential assistant and had complete charge of the books. Neither his uncle nor any of the persons interested in the company ever entertained any suspicions that crooked work was being done, as Gra- ham Menzies had won the complete con- fidence of his employers. A few weeks ago General Last, one of the executors of the will, learned.that the books of the firm showed that large sums of money had been misappropriated. and he hurried to San Francisco, along with Mrs. Last's sister, who was at the time visiting her relatives in Los An- geles. On his arrival here he examined the books hastily and saw at once that the irformation was true. It was not then determined how much had beer® taken, but the experting of the books over a period of four or flve years showed that the sum would reach large proportions. LEAVES WIFE AND CHILDREN. ‘What __probably directed suspicion toward Menzies was the fact that he had been accused a short time before of em- bezzling a large sum of money belonging to a sea captain, which had either been intrusted to him or nad come to him for safe-keeping through a business under- standing of some sort. Alarmed at the possibility of prosecution and well aware that his relatives and the members of his firm knew ol( hl§ tlheltt;i Menzies thought h: fety lay in ! :‘v‘v‘lafe an y(hrea ghl‘.dren, left behind in the care of the defaulter’'s brother, will wait long for him to come back with his promise redee,ned that he would make good the loss. What Menzies did with the money has never been discovered. «His relatives and the business partners of the late Stewart Menzies have tried in vain to find some clew which would lead them to a knowl- edge of the manner in which the cash was disposed of. Menzies was not known to be a gam- bler, that is, in the ordinary sense, and he was not a dissipated man. It {8 expected that the executors will have completed their work within a month, and then the exact amount which the confidential secretary misappropriated will be known. WILLIAM GRAVES.
