Police Stop the Sullivan- Ordway Fight for a Time, The boxers at the Hayes Valley Ath- letic Club last night made a slow start, but this proved only the forerunner of a Garrison finish. The first of the sensational bouts was betwen Dan Sullivan and H. P. Ordway. The sympathies of the spectators were with Ordway. Sullivan early developed a wicked left which Ordway could not block. Sullivan landed repeatedly, but too high on the head to prove effective. Sergeant of Police Bush stopped the bout in the second round to prevent injury to Ordwa, At the solicitation of the club officials he allowed the bout to go on and Ord- way was thoroughly knocked out early in the third round. The fight of the year resulted from the meeting of Teddie Wolfe and J. V. Carter. The latter was scheduled to meet Tom McCreal. McCreal failed to appear and Wolfe took his place at short notice. Carter had the poise and the s professional and seemed about -to anni- | hilate Wolfe in the. first round. The lat- ter barely held his own, but in the sec- ond round “fought clever” and outboxed Carter. The third round was a desperate slugging match throughout. At times fourth round was a continuation of the give-and-take work, being on their feet urging each man on. At the end of the fight the judges dis- agreed. Referee James McDevitt cast his vote in favor of Carter. The spec- tators accepted the decision as a just one. Jack Cardell wore out James Howard a proposition to throw the fight, so all | bets were declared off. Al Ehrbach was given the decision over Willie Edwards. The winner had a good left which he kept in action. Dick Murray knocked out Nat Shdor in one round. Kid Abel quit in the second round with Ed Gallatin. John Craine knocked out Louls Byrnes in the third round of their fight. Al Neill and Young Peter Jackson, who are to fight in Woodward's Pavilion on 2th inst., under the auspices of the es Valley Athletic Club, were intro- duced by Morris Levy.

Ransch, the crack light- weight rider of the Burns & Wa- | terhouse stable, celebrated 0Odd Fellows' day at Agricultural Park this afternoon by sweeping the card as clean as does a tornado obliterate a Kansas town. Unfortunately, though, for Jerry, his mount, Jim Gore I1I, which fin- irhed first in the opening run, was dis- qualified for carrying out Loyal S the last sixteenth and the race was given to the latter horse. Nothing daunted, Ransch went on and in turn landed Lodestar, Midlove, Malaspina and_Dolly Weithoff first past the judges. He has a great string of followers and they Kkept the Lookmakers jumping sideways with the money they dumped into the tin boxes. Badges of the popular fraternal order were everywhere conspicuous at the track and, even if its members were not famil- iar with the intricacies of the dope book, they contributed to making the day one of the most successful of the meet. The harness events were spiritless affairs, such as nearly all of them have been, but the running events supplied some excit- ing sport. Tom Smith, favorite for the consolation trot, managed to save his entrance money, but Harry J, first choice for the pace, came out with flying colors. The Bella Vista stake resulted in a walkover for St. Winifride. TALENT’S “DOPE” IS WRONG. Six scored down in the consolation trot, with'Tom Smith, driven by Van Bokke- ien, for some .inexplicable reason selling a 10 to 6 favorite over the field. The brown horse was never closer up _than fourth in-any one of the three heats trot- ted. Princess, a likely looking bay mare by Engineer, owned by J. B. Iverson of Salinas and driven by Vance, won in straight heats, stepping the second heat in 2:18%. -The contender on each occasion was salind, a daughter of Stam B, who made it decidedly interesting for the win- ner. After the poor showing made by Tom Smith in the first heat the betting switched about, the field fetching 12 against 10 for Smith, It appeared difficult for Auctioneer Al Leach to persuade speculators to pur- chase a $3 pasteboard on the field against 20 for Harry J when business opened up on the 2:21 class pace. Enoch, it was fig- ured, might give the favorite a rub, but although finishing second in all thres heats he fell shy. a couple of seconds. Hi Hogoboom again drove Harry J in his usual polished manner. Unquestionably better at a shorter ting on the seven furlong selling run un- til he finally closed equal choice with King Dellis, each being held at 11 to 10. Gore finished first, but in doing so Ransch almost carried Bozeman, on Loyal 8, into the judges' stand. A claim of foul was ‘allowed and Loyal S placed first at odds of 2 to 1, King Dellis second and Mike Rice third. Some heavy plunging was indulged in on the mile and a sixteenth selling affair, with a field of seven lining up at the bar- rler. Garrigan had the mount on Morinel, and with only ninety-nine pounds to shoulder the little mare ruled a 7 to 5 fa- vorite. Much wise coin was strung along on the chances of Dr. Bernays, which gelding was outfooted from the jump. As the barrier was released Ransch rushed Lodestar away in front, and, making a runaway race of it, breezed in an easy first from the favorite in 1:47%. Cromwell seems to be of no account. MIDLOVE ON THE BIT. Midlove did not have Hercules to lead ler a dog’s life the first part of it in to- day's five and a half furlong scramble and succeeded in delivering the merchan- gise. Closing equal favorite with The Miller, after having once been 11 to 5, Ransch got the fast mare away on_the run and she came home on the bit. In a hard drive Bozeman, astride Young Mo- rello, took the place from The Miller. Play was about equally divided, in the six furlong sprint following, between Malaspina and Prestano. Although the first mare went to the post a 1 to 2 chance, Prestano, with Frawley up, had 2 host of admirers who forced the price down from 3 to 2 to even. Quickest to leave the barrier, Malaspina soon showed clear of the bunch, and, catching the trade winds near the stretch bend, blew In two lengths before Dwight Way, a 15 to 1 shot. Prestano was a tired third. Suooze, a rank outsider, displayed a vorld of speed early in the game, but falled to stay. In a false breakaway Great Mogul ran away with Thompson. Unfortunately for the hackers of Matt Hogan, the 7 to 10 favorite for the final six furlong dash, Dolly Weithoff suddenly regained her best form and made Hogan wish he had delayed his departure from Montana for a fortnight or so. Dolly, with Ransch up, lost no time in bidding her field farewell, and the old mare won galloping from the odds-on choice in 1:13%. John Boggs was a fair third. HOW THEY FINISHED.

L e e e e o o e e e B e e e e e e o 2 2 S Y ) “LA TRAVIATA” FINELY PUT ON AT THE TIVOLI umph of “La Gioconda” Is Fol- lowed by Success Equally as Noteworthy. “La Traviata” last night at the Tivoll gave the second half of a programme that has not been excelled during The triumphs of “La Gioconda” of the evening before were fol- lowed by a spirited and altogether mod- ern rendering of the tuneful opera. It is an experiment of much interest that the Tivoli management has made in dressing the opera in modern garb, and one that is likely to be followed. The production perhaps loses slightly in picturesqueness, but gains largely—the influence even be- ing felt on the musical side—in dramatic realism. The stilt is lost, and one feels the human quality of the emotions the singers are portraying, though ‘“Travi- ata” lends itself not aitogether easily to modern methods. Very handsomely in- deed has the piece been put on by the Tivoli management, the costumes and mountings being of quite exceptional beauty. A chorus in clawhammers and boiled shirts is a distinctly novel sight, and possibly as a consequence of the in- | novation almost the dramatic natural- ness, humanness, of “La Boheme” was | obtained. Not guite, naturally, with the mannered and formally melodie music of “Traviata” as the means of expression, and a more strenuous treatment would lose the present charm of the opera’s sim- | Tina de Spada is cast in the title role, and the clever singer acquitted herself with much capability. Her voice rather grows on one, and lacks only a little in roundness to be entirely pleasing. Her Violetta is distinguished by her usual in- telligence and a more than customary vo- cal charm, some of her pianissimos bei; purely beautiful. ~ ““Ah, fors e lui’ aroused its usual enthusiasm, and the death scene was marked by a delicate sympathy of handling. Agostino is the Alfredo, an®®triking and convincing in the part. He is in fine singing form, and achieved a vocal triumph. D’'Albore had the Germont role, and with an excet vibrato and unre- strained enthusias pretty lively failure of Cortesi, ways useful and effective, was the Gas- ton; Zani was a handsome Marquis Dench filled in. There was some very good chorus work done in the third act. “La Gioconda™ goes to-night. s e e An interesting concert and dramatic en- tertainment was given last night at Stein- way Hall by the many friends of Madame Fabbri-Mueller, on the occasion of the thirtieth anniversary of the veteran sing- er’s first appearance here in 1872. The first part of the programme consisted of a farce, “An American Harem,” that was well played by the following people: Frank Glynn and Alice Glynn, a newly mar- ried couple, Mr. Phil Leff and Miss Estella Dreyfuss; Mrs. Glynn, Frank’s mother; Stella Glynn, his sister, Miss Gertrude Joseph; Ger- tie, Alice’s cousin, Miss A. Althauser; Norah, a servant girl, Miss Germain; [Ed Asbury, Frank's college chum, Mr. William G. Sass. The second part of the programme was taken up by the performance of “Ah fors e lul,” by Master Angelo Fabbri, a youthful pupil of Madame Mueller. The boy, who is 12 years old, has a very sweet and high voice, and shows much promise. A German farce, *Die Alte Schachtel,” given by the following peo- ple, ended the interesting programme: Karl Eisenhard, Fritz Rembach; Gustchen, selne frau, Rita ai Rovey; Hans, ihr bruder, Ernst_Deterbeck; Comelia, seine frau, Franz- iska Rudolph; Lotte, Emma Mefer; Ort der Handlung, Eine Mitfelstadt. —_—— Dress Him Well ‘With Lelbold’s custom-made harness.

After “reaffirming allegiance to the fundamental principles of Democracy” the declaration says: . “In the place of the Republican policy fostering and protecting great monopolies by legisiation at the expense of the peo- ple, we demand protection for the people against the abuses and exactions of mo- nopoly. We make nq warfare upon any legitimate corporate business which is willing to sustain itself without govern- mental favor and to submit to reasonable Government supervision and regulation; but the supremacy of the State over its corporate creatures must be asserted and maintained and they must conduct their business with due régard to the vast pub- lic_interests in thelr charge. “Exorbitant tariff duties are producing a surplus which is to-day locking up in the treasury money which qur business needs urgently requires; these should be reduced to a reasonable revenue basis. “Free raw material is the only sound foundation for the manufacturing suprem- acy which this country is seeking; we again demand that the duties upon such material, so Injurious and unfair to the industrial develocpment of this common- wealth shall be wholly removed. We de- mand particularly free coal, free iron ore, free wool and free hides, and we condemn the Republican policy of sacrificing great New England interests to its political ex- igencies. “We favor an honest policy of reci- procity with other nations, and we par- ticularly demand the passage of a liberal measure of reciprocity with Cuba. ‘“The present tariff is protecting great trusts in making exorbitant profits on the necessities of our people, while selling their products to foreign markets at much lower prices than the prices exacted here. ‘We demand the repeal of all tariff duties upon articles whose production is con- trolled by the trusts. This is the one simple, practical and immediate remedy which will at least limit the exactions of monopoly. It can be applied while fur- ther legislation is being formulated and discussed. The Federal Government can at least allow the people to purchase their coal and their meat, which have been rising toward prohibitive prices, without paying tribute to the coal and the meat ‘trust.” FIGHTING A BIG FIRE IN BELGIUM’S CAPITAL How the Pompier Corps Acts While Millions of Dollars’ Worth of Property Burns. ‘Writing from Antwerp to his uncle in New York, a fourteen-year-old boy tells very wittily of the way in which the corps of Pompler works when a fire breaks out there. He writes: I must tell you about the fire we had here vesterday afternoon. At just3p. m. fire broke out in the Entrepot Royale, where all the merchandise is placed be. fore passing through the custom-house. Twenty minutes after, a quick-witted Bel. glan thought of ringing the alarm, and before an hour had passed the fire brigade came dashing up the street at the danger- ous speed of three miles an hour. The fire brigade of Antwerp Is a very practical and orderly one. They are dressed in a very pretty uniform and car- Ty handsome swords, which, of course, are very useful in putting out fires. They are supplied, in limited quantities, of course, with large size garden hose, and, besides a liberal supply of hand pumps, buckets, syringes, etc.; they have one good Amer- ican fire engine. While the first brigade was preparing to go into action, the cap- tain of an English ship which lay in the docks near by offered to bring over his two steam pumps to help them. As he did not have permission from the Water Department to tap the city water, he was, of course, not allowed to do so. In the meantime a bucket line had been formed to the river and the hand pumps were do- ing splendidly. Naturally the firemen could not risk their lives by going near the fire, and as the pumps carried but fifty feet, they only wet the outside wall, The entrepot is about a block and a half long and three stories high. It started burning at the north end. A well-known man of business who had some goods stored In the south end got a gang of men and started to haul his goods out, The police immediately stopped him, as he did not have a signed permit from the head of the entrepot to take out his goods. The fire got the goods. By 10 o'clock the whole entrepot was a blazing ruin. But no one was there to see it. The firemen had gone home to bed. The loss on the fire was about $10,000,000, Vive les Pompiers! DANIEL GRENINGER DIES AFTER A LONG ILLNESS Suffers a Stroke of Paralysis Two Years Ago and Never Fully Regains His Health. Danlel Greninger, a well-known pion- eer of this State, died Monday morning at his home, 117 Buchanan street, Gren- inger suffered a stroke of paralysis about two years ago. It left him an invalld and ultimately caused his death. Greninger was a native of Germany, and ‘while quite young came to this country. He and his wife were passen- gers on the ill-fated steamer Atlanta, which was wrecked at ses, and they were the only survivors. He settled in this city in December, 1850, and opened the first tinning and plumbing shop. He was a member of the Vigilance Committee and took an actlve part in the delibera- tlons of that body. Greninger was prob- ably one of the few men that made three trips across the’continent before the days of the rallroads. The funeral will take place at 2 q'clock to-day from the family residence. Gren- inger was 73 years. of fige, and was a member of the Odd Fellows. —_——— Accused of Robbery. E. L. Eaton, 2606 Sixteenth street, swors to a complaint before Judge Cabaniss yes- terday charging Frank J. Niblet with robbery. Niblet was arrested Saturday night for battery upon Eaton and was released on $20 cash bail. When the case was called Monday in Judge ‘Cabaniss’ court Niblet failed to appear, and Eaton then declared that when he reached home after Niblet attacked him he found $10 was missing from his pockets, and he al- leges that Niblet must have taken it from him during the fight. —_————— Moonlight Excursion on the Bay.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept. 16.— The reports from the University of Wis- consin that the Stanford and Wisconsin athletic managers have been negotiating for a contest between the football elevens of the two colleges on New Year's day ard that Stanford's manager had agreed to guarantee the Mjddle West team their expenses is denled by Treasurer Harry J.

BERKELEY, Sept. 16.—“Ox" Albertson, captain of the University of Call!omial fcotball eleven, has registered with the ccllege of pharmacy in the Afillated Col- leges, and has thus settled beyond ques- tion his title to play on this year's team under the terms of the intecrcollegiate agreement. Albertson was forced to this move because Professor George C.

Machine-Made Statues. 1f you want a bust or statue of your- self you need no longer feel obliged to g0 to a high-priced sculptor and contract for it regardless of expense. You can have the thing done by mechanical process. The machine sculptor will place you on a pedestal which revolves, and will turn you slowly around while he takes a se- ries of photographs of you with a fixed camera. As a result he will have views ol yourself from every standpoint, and then it only remains to convert these pictures into the portrait in marble that is_desired. There is no preliminary model in clay. A plece of marble of the necessary size is provided, and the outlines of the first photograph, with suitable enlargement, are traced -upon the stone, a process be- ing used that makes accuracy certain. Then the stone is revolved a certain dis- tance, so as to correspond mathematically with the view taken in the second photo- graph, and the operation is repeated. This is done with all the photographs suc- BODY OF WOMAN HANGING T0 TREE Murder Excites Resi- dents of Siskiyou County. No Clew to the Idenmtity of Supposed Victim of Foul Play. Special Dispatch to The Call. ASHLAND, Ore., Sept. 16.—The myste. rious murder of an unknown woman whose body was found yesterday after- noon hanging to a tree in a lonely gulch in the mountains west of Hornbrook, kiyou County, Cal., has created a sen tion on both sides of the State bound: The woman was probably 45 years of age. There were indications that she had bee murdered and that her body had bee hung to the tree where it was found. The remains were buried in Hornbrook afternoon. The body was decomposed and there was nothing found by which it could be identified. SOME PECULIAR FACTS ABOUT THE HUMAN BODY According to an Observer All People Are Defectivein Respect to Symmetry. Two sides of a face are never alike. ears are out of line in two cases out five, and one eye is stronger than otker In seven persons out of ten. right ear is also, as a rule, higher t the left. Only one persom in fifteen has pe eyes, the large percentage of defec ness prevalling among fair-haired peor Short sight is more common in town among country folk, and of all the mans have a larger proportion of sh sighted persons. "The crystalline lens of the eye Is one portion of the human bedy w continues to increase in size throughc life, and does not cease with the atta ment of maturity. The smallest interval of sound can bs better distinguished with one ear th with both. The nails of two fingers never grow with the same rapidity, that of t middle finger growing the fastest, whila that of the thumb grows slowest. In fifty-four cases out of a hundred the left leg is stronger than the right. The bornes of an average human male skeleton weigh twenty pounds; those of a woman are six pounds lighter. That unruly mem- ber, the tongue of a woman, Is also smaller than that of a man, given a man and a woman of equal size and weight. It may be appalling to reflect, but it is true, that the muscles of the exert a force of over 0 pounds. The symmetry which is the sole intel- ligible ground for our idea of beauty, the proportion between the upper and lower half of the human body, exists in nearly all males, but is never found in the fe- male. American limbs are more symmet- rical than those of any other people. Tha rocking chair, according to an English sclentist, is responsible for the exercise which increases the beauty of the lower limbs. The push which the toes give to keep the chair in motlon, repeated and repeated, makes the instep high, the ca!f round and full, and it keeps misshapening flesh off the ankle, making it delicate and slender.—S8t.

The systematic examination of more than 40,000 pajrs of human ears in Eng- land and France has resulted in some in- teresting conelusions. T one thing, it 13 ascertained that the ear continues to grow in the later decades of life—in fa it appears never to. stop growing 1 death. If one will take the trouble to look around in any assemblage of peop as at church, he will discover that t old folks have ears considerably la: than those of the middle-aged. A wo who has small, shell-like ears at 20 years of age will be very apt to possess medium. sized ears at 40 years and large ears at 60. Why ears should go on growing ali one’s life any more than noses is a mys- tery. There are a good many other points about them that are instructive, their shapes being markedly persistent through heredity. Any ear will be handed dow so to speak, from father to son for ge eration after generation with compara- tively little modification. Some autho ties on criminology assert that criminals are very apt to possess a pecullar kind of ear, which is recognized by an expert in such matters. There is probably nobody in the world who has a pair of ears perfectly matche in most people the two differ perceptib. not only in shape, but also in size. Fre- quently they are not placed precisely alike on the head. The age of a person may be judged with great accuracy by the ears, which after youth is past as- sume an increasing harshness of contour. A pretty woman whose first youth has departed may not show the fact in other ways, but these telltale features will surely tell the story of the flight of time. Then there is the little wrinkle that comes just in front of each ear during the thirties—a fatal and ineradicable sign. Near the top of each ear, just within the downturned edge and slightly toward the back, will be found, if one feeis for it, a small lump of cartilage.
