The young- sters raided the affable young ladies in charge of the fish pond,” took the “Spanish booth” by storm and ate up ail the panoche, laid slege to the ‘“Home of the Dervishes” and drove the attendant at the merry-go-round to despair because he was unable to gratify the demands of all. The popularity of the carnival has grown to such an extent that in the even- ing there must have been several thou- sand present. The programme was as in- teresting as it was long, which is saying much for it, since the entertainments number almost too many for enumera- tion. The good-natured crowd assembled everywhere throughout the great build- ing, but when the athletic exercises be- gan in the ring there was a rush for the gallery, where a better view of the bouts could be obtained. J. J. Gleasqn of the Olympic Club gen- erously brought with him several boxers, and “Jimmy” Britt came a long distance to referee the boxing bouts. When Cali- fornia’s favorite lightweight champion entered the ring he was greeted with a volley of applause. “Jimmy,” faultlessly attired in evening dress and looking as fit a8 a fiddle, bowed his acknowledgments of the warm and friendly reception ac- corded him, and then Leonard and Danzi- ger shook hands and a spirited exhibition followed. Collins and Cairns came next, both young men putting up a good exhibi- tion of boxing. Spiro and Burgess also put on the gloves and boxed at a merry clip.

McCurdy was arrested on complaint of Willlam P. Harlow, who charges him with having forged his name. to some checks. McCurdy was Harlow's secre- tary and claims that he was authorized to draw checks in his name. Harlow and | McCurdy are former residents of Sacra- mento, where the latter's brother, Justice of the Peace A. H. McCurdy, now resides. It is alleged that McCurdy has. been de- nied a trial and that an effort is on foot to consign him to the penal salt mines of Lower Californfa for the reason, as stated, that he possesses information re- garding mining deals which his prose- cutors desire kept secret.

Fruit Growers Report That Rain Cannot Do Much Damage. ey Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN DIEGO, April 16.—The rain which the Weather Bureau has been prédicting for the past three days arrived this after- noon, and was preceded by about the most severe wind storm that the city has experienced for many years. At two dif- ferent times the wind reached a velocity of twenty-nine miles an hour, and the highest it ever blew here was thirty-nine miles in 1877. THe fall of the afternoon amounted to | .39 of an inch up to 5 v'clock, and it has been raining enough to-night to make suré of more than half an inch for the storm. The normal seasonal fall is but 10.51 inches, and already this year the | fall has reached to within .42 of an inch of that amount. The rain is general throughout the county, beginning about 2 o'clock and continuing until after nightfall. The fall ranged from a little over an inch in the northern part of the county and in the mountains, to a half inch in the bay re- gion. The rain will do much good throughout the county and not much damage, as there was but little hay al- ready cut, and most of that will be saved. All of the reservoirs have received the | benefit and there is more water stored in | the county than there has been for a | good many years. | LOS ANGELES, April 16—Rain has fallen here steadlly since 2 o'clock this morning, and the G rnment record | showed 210 inches at 5 o'clock this aft- ernoon. The precipitation continues at a late hour to-night. The downpour has not been heavy at any time, but is steady. Many streets in the lower part of the city are running rivers and almost impassable. No damage has been reported, exgept in washing newly paved streets in places. Street cars on many lines arg temporarily tied up. The rain is not needed at this time, and will even do some damage to budding fruit trees and growing grain. An un- usual feature of the storm is the accom- paniment of thunder and lightning. Snow the mountains. The total rainfall for the season is 18.40 Inches. Heavy seas are reported at Santa Monica, Long Bea and San Pedro. PASADENA, April 16.—Three inches of rain has fallen here since 4 o'clock this morning, and it is still raining hard. President Jardine of the Orange Growers’ Assoclation says no serfous damage wiil | result to citrus fruit, as most of the | oranges are in warehouses, but picking | will be delayed. Orchardists, however, | report some damage. Grain has been damaged in some sections of the San Ga- briel Valley. There is six inches of snow | on Mount Wilson. SANTA BARBARA, April 16—The | heavy rain which has been falling for | the past twenty-four hours did some dam- age to growing grain. Total precipitation for the last twenty-four hours was more than two inches. MRS. CAMPBELL TRIUMPHS AS AUNT JEANNIE Mrs. Campbell came again to her own | | last night in E. F. Benson's comedy of | “Aunt Jeannie,” that drew ome of the largest houses of the engagement to the Columbla. The Benson play Is new here, and has some novel and interesting features. The | plot is unusual, and though somewha(; crudely worked out, yet possesses an| agreeable freshness. Mr. Benson had more in his hands than he made use of | in the story of “Aunt Jeannie,” yet there | is quite sufficlent left to make a good | evening's entertainment. There is too much talk, of a hit or miss brightness— it hits the mark pretty frequently it may | be said, but the blue pencil would still | be a useful acquaintance. The charac- ters are well built, in the case of Aunt Jeannie herself—backed by Mrs. Camp- | béll's interpretation—with peculiarly ef- | fective illusion. | Aunt Jeannie is a self-sacrificing per- | son, whose niece is in love with an un- worthy man, who, like Nlels Lykke in | “Lady Inger,” has Indeed betrayed the | sister of his second love. This is touched | upon only lightly in the story, and the man in this case has the grace to be ig- norant of his victim's identity. The girl is also ignorant of her sister's fate, and has been brought up with utmost tender- ness by Aunt Jeannie. To save her niece the aunt, who Is a very attractive person, determines to win the love of Lord Lind« field, the man in question, and herein be- gins the complications. The fascinating aunt, a widow, is her- sclf engaged and unable to explain her course to her lover, nearly wrecks her own happiness. Shé earns, of course, a pewildered hatred from her niece and is licrself a little scathed by the flame she succeeds in kindling In the erring lover. Everything comes right in the end, how- ever, in a rather Ingenious fashion. As Aunt Jeannie Mrs. Campbell has an engaging opportunity. The very charm- ing maternal sweetness, tenderness, wom- anliness that was of the best that her Beata had to give—for even the woman's jove for her lover was in large part ma- ternal—was here again in grateful evi- dence. It is not easy to imagine any- thing more tenderly charming than Mrs. Campbell's scene with Miss Lamborn (the nlece), in which the aunt is obliged to tcll the girl something of her erring sis- ter's history. Delicacy, an admirable simplicity, a very genius of truth ruled in the handling of the little scene, In which Mrs. Campbell was prettily second- ed by Miss Lamborn. The siren auntle was just as convine- ingly portrayed. It was a foregone con- clusion that the Lord Lindfield would capitulate to the fascinating person in the flame-colored gown In the second act. All the machinery of allurement was there ip its most seductive form and the oniy wonder was that Lindfield held out so long. After what might be called the virtuoso flirting of Aunt Jeannie, her pro- clalmed horror of herself comes perhaps a little implausibly. The lover, her own, comes off a little unimportantly in the piece, but again furnishes pleasihg oppor- tunity for a pretty scene for the actress. There is truly no one quite like Mrs. Campbell, and she is very much herseif in “Aunt Jeannie.” There goes with it another /distracting repertoire of gowns, by the . ¥ Emmet C. King, in the support, does not fil Lord Lindfleld, his last scene, where he reproaches Aunt Jeannie for her perfidy, being carried off with some aplomb. Amy Lamborn pleases as the niece, and Charles Bryant is gentlemanly and sufficient as Aunt Jeannie's lover.

RN L SANTA BARBARA, April 18.—Captain Dixie W. Thompson, a pioneer resident of the Pacific Coast and known In every part of California, dled to-night at his home in this city. Captain Thompson was 77 years of age and had been ill for several weeks. Captain Dixle Thompson was one of the most picturesque characters of California. He was born in Topsham, Me., and began life as.a cabin boy on an Atlantic sall- ing vessel. Later he became a sallor and finally master of a salling ship. He came te California in 1849 by way of the Isth- mus of Darien, landing at the port of San Franeisco and shortly after joined in the gold rush for the Marysville flelds. Meet- ing with il luek, Captain Thompson re- turned to San Francisco and became in- terested in shifping in that harbor. Several years ago Captain Thompson moved to Santa Barbara and Invested in a large ranch, as well as city real estate. He owned at the time of his death the largest limma bean ranch in the world, lo- cated in this county. Wherever street pageants have been kheld on the Pacific Coast Captain Thomp- | sen was the most picturesque feature of the show. Mounted upon his beautiful | ¢hestnut horse, which he trained to per- | form for the pleasure of the thousands of | epectators, and sitting astride the famous seddle trimmed with Mexican silver dol- kirs, he became a familiar figure to Cal- tfornians. | ' 4 +* S0LDIER ROBBED OF MUCH WEALTH Warrior Loses Money When Visiting the Tenderloin. Several-discharged soldiers, who carried | a small fortune in coin, bills and checks, required the attention of the police in the tenderloin districts last evening. One of the former warriors came to grief and lost $500 on Stockton street. He reported the matter immediately to the Hall of Justice and detectives were detailed to try to recover his wealth. Another was ordered into custody by Lieutenant Glea- | son of the Central station, that $425 which | he had in his possession might be spared for him until he recovered from a spree. | John Watson, a soldier of the First Cavalry, reported to the police that he | had started out early last evening with $800, cash, checks and bills in his pockets. | He had several companions, all of whom had a large amount of money recently re- cefved from the Government, but as the evening progressed the party broke up and Watson found himself alone on Ma- son street. He had no difficulty, how- ever, in finding new friends and particu- larly after he announced that he had money to burn. Drinks were ordered in rapid succession and the soldier at length began to suffer from the effects of liquor. He was partially stupefied when one of | the fairer sex took him in tow and visited | a resort on Stockton street, the exact lo- cation of which Watson does not know. The object of the woman's kindness be- came known when the soldier awoke In a chair and found that his wealth and his fair companion had disappeared. Later F. A. Woods, also a former sol- dler in the same cavalry troop, was brought to the Central station In a stupe- fled condition by two civilians. He had over $#00 in his possession and to pre- vent a robbery Lieutenant Gleason had him locked up on & charge of drunken- | ness. | | HUMBOLDT CATTLE-OWNERS | DESIRE AN INVESTIGATION Quarantine on Calves Is Declared to Be Unnecessary and Working | Injury.

A few days ago the cattle-owners of Humboldt County called a convention, at | which the situation was discussed. It was pointed out that the quarantine is | working a serlous injury to the cattle industry, and that there is no longer | need of the enforcement of the quaran- | tine regulations, A resolution was adopt- | ed directing the secretary of the conven- tion to write to Governor Pardee explain- | ing the situation and requesting that thq | executive send Dr. Blemer to investigate, | with a view to raising the quarantine. | It is sald the Governor will send Dr. | Blemer as requested. et FRIENDS MEET AT BIER OF A FORMER Amn'rzi SOUTH VALLEJO, April 16,—Followed | by a large crowd of mourners, J.
