Purchases an Oriental Wife From Her Parents at a Fabulous Price and Will Take Her to Reside With Him in New York City l e b i Sy eyes and nose being visible. She was seated on a handsome steamer chair, playing with a beautiful fox terrier which she called Skaes. Finding that she was becoming the cynosure of all eyes, she repaired to the dining hall with her husband. Morgan, who is a pleasant, affable man of probably 30 years, said he had lived for about three years in 1he, Orient, where he had met and married his bride. He seemed much annoyed at the attempts to take snapshots, and| said that he was forced to seek the se- | clusion of the cabin on that account. On arrival here the couple immediate- ly went to the Palace, where they (ook‘ dinner in the main dining hall. The | bride was magnificently robed in dark | brown silk, with a white scarf about George D. Morgan and his young Japanese bride were among the pas- the steamship China ar- ! the Orient yesterday. | Morgan is a nephew of J. Pierpont | Morgan, noted New York finan-| | ¢ been three years, and while there eisha girl and just prior to the departure of the China for this port he married her in Kioto. It is reported that before her parents would give sanction to the marriage, Morgan was obliged to pay them 15,000 yen. Mrs. Morgan is a most attractive young woman. She is slightly above the average Japanese woman's height, | eful carriage, pretty face and ul dark luminous eyes. She was attired in Japanese costume even to the | wicker sandals. Her hair is dressed in e fashion, almost after the mode in vogue here. When she came on board the steamship at Yokohama she could hardly speak a word of English, but now she is able to give utterance to practically all the ordinary ks of the day. She has a very soft, musical voice, to which is added a charming and gracious manner. How New York will receive beauty from the Orient is a question to be solved. That she is immensely attractive no one can deny, and it would not be at all surprising if she became a feted pet of society. of g beauw journing in Japan | perately in love with a beauti- | re- | this | | as “The Werner-Amoros Troupe,” EIGHT CLEVER T0UNG WOMEN They Are Orpheum Headliners, and as “The Vassar Girls” They Do Very Refined Work “THE DEVIL'S AUCTION” Twenty-Third Annual Edition of Famous Extravaganza De- lights Big Crowdat California Sl T Eight pretty young women, attired in slate-colored college robes and natty “mortarboards,” have headline distinc- tion this week at the Orpheum, and they sing and play various musical in- struments in a way that entitles them to the honor. They are billed as “The Vassar Girls,” and as long as they wear the seminary costume their work is refined enough to preserve the at- mosphere created by their appearance. After four of them have played wooden wind instruments, six of them blow delicious melody through saxaphones and eight of them—four cornets and four trombones—make brazen music galore. Then they lose their collegiate identity and appear as an ‘electric ballet,” an act which is beautiful, but lacking novelty. The girls, fairly cov- ered with vari-colored incandescent | bulbs, perform a maypole dance. the finale of which has the stage aglare | with brilllance. Another strong act is programmed and | consists of a scene in an artist's | studio, in which three men and two women make a whole lot of fun | through the medium of ingeniously | contrived mechanical effects. One of | the men juggles nine balls and breaks the record for that sort of thing. The | finish of the act might be aptly termed | a “rough house,” for all the furniture of | the studio is wrecked and piled upon the stage. Harry Thomson, announced as.“The ! Mayor of the Bowery,” gives some | clever imitations of familiar character | types, His various dialects are faith- | ful enough to keep the house in a roar. Ziska and King appear in an act with the self-explanatory title of “The | Modesty and refinement are among her greatest charms.

This morning at 19 o’clock they will depart for New York. Morgan seems devoted to his bride, and when he left the dining hall last night he fondly led her out by the hand, HOPE TO REGAIN THEIR JEWELRY Sporting Men Who Were Rob-| bed at the Colonial Club Give | Case to Private Detectives | | | The victims have eliminated the reg- ular police as possible factors in the | apprehension of the five criminals who robbed the players and spectators in the Colonial Club early Saturday morn- | ing. Yesterday the sleuths of a local | private detective agency were put on the case by the men who suffered the loss of =0 much money and jewelry in the robbery. It is stated on good authority that the Pinkerton Agency has the case in hand and is working for a quiet settlement between the robbers and the robbed. Yesterday the Pinkerton ‘“‘sherlocks’ had two race track men, “King” Had- ley, and a tout known in the tender- loin as “Doc Blue Mass,” in the sweat box. “King” and “Doc,” whose repu- taticns are not of the best around the city, are supposed to know the identity | of the crooks. Just what the detect- | ives learned from the two men is not known, but it is alleged that the latter gave the sleuths a sufficient clew to the perpetrators of the robbery to result in the arrest of the gang. HEATH IS QUESTIONED. “King” Hadley is the bookmaker who was ruled from the Oakland track two months ago for alleged complicity with the bookmakers and jockeys concerned in the recent scandal, by which fre- quenters of the races were robbed on their bets. Last night C. Heath, the one man | who was in the Colonial Club at the time of the robbery who was not di- vested of his wealth, was conveyed to the sweat box and retained under a | fire of questions for more than two hours. It has always been alleged that Heath was well acquainted with the robbers, and that when they recog- nized him Friday night, they passed him for a “dead onme.” The placing of the case in the hands of a private detective agency again shows the desire of the sporting men to hush the matter and regain their money and jewelry without giving pub- licity to the case. { POLICE FIND NO CLEW. { The local police never found a single clew, and received practically no assist- ance from the men who were robbed. | The keepers of the club know the cul- prits and claimed to have given the po lice the clew, while in reality it was | given to a private detective concern. | The private detectives and the club | men hope to have the matter all hushed | and squared in a few days. None of the robbers have left town, and all of the suspicious characters of the turf | are under surveillance. The local po- | lice :llege that the deed was done by ! men who were habitues of the place | and familiar with the whereabouts of the bank roll. They say that the men | BOTKIN MURDER TRIAL IS FIXED FOR TO-DAY | District Attorney Is Not Ready and ! | Judge Cook Has Threatened to | Dismiss Case. | The case of Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, | charged with the murder of Mrs. Eliza- | beth P. Dunning by sending her a box of poisoned candy to Dover, Del., will| be called in Judge Cook's court this | morning for trial by a jury. | District Attorney Byington has not { yet recelved definite information from Delaware as to the coming of the wit- neses from that State owing to the de- mand of Professor Wolff and Dr. | Downes for $1000 compensation each, | besides their traveling expenses, and he will be compelled to ask for a con- tinuance. Juwdge Cook has, intimated that he will not grant a continuance, and that unless the District Attorney is ready to proceed with the trial to-day he will dismiss the case. There is keen expec- | tation as to what will happen when the case is called this morning. —e—— . EXPLOSION OF TORPEDO ON TRACK CAUSES EXCITEMENT Railroad Stop Signal Startles Many Residents of Valencia and Twenty- Fifth Streets, Considerable excitement was caused yesterday afternoon at the junction of Valencia and Twenty-fifth streets by the explosion of a signal torpedo placed on the Southern Pacific track for the purpose of calling the 4 o'clock freight to a halt. As the residents of Valencia street | are not accustomed to hearing trains signaled in this manner it was thought at first that an attempt was being made to wreck the train, and it was not long before a large crowd was at- tracted to the scene. ‘When the necessary orders had been given and the cars had once more start-) ed rolling on the way southward the crowd finally realized that no serious damage had been done, and with the exception of a few small boys dis- persed, leaving the neighborhood in its usual peaceful appearance. PRl e T Woman Drinks Carbolic Acid. Mrs. Jennie Daly, a young woman re- siding with her husband and three chil- dren at 1119% Sixth street, took a dose of carbolic acid with suicidal intent yesterday. She was removed to the Emergency Hospital in time to save her life. She stated that she had be- | come despondent and wanted to die. ——————— Trapper's Oll cures rheumatism and neuralgla.

Main 508 * - MAKES CHARGES OF DECEPTION Rev. William Rader Describes Russia’s Scheming to Defeat Ameriea on Vital Occasions —— i “Four Reasong Why America Should | Sympathize With Japan” was one of ! the subjects treated.by the Rev. Wil- | liam Rader at the Third Congregation- | al Church, Fifteenth and Mission' streets, last night. The church was crowded and the remarks of the Rev. Mr. Rader were listened to with in-| tense interest. The speaker said in| part: i There are four reasons why America should, in my opinion, sympathize with Japan. First, because of our religious, commercial and edu- cational investments in Japan. In 1852 Com- | modore Perry awoke -Japan by .ringing her | door bells - with a cannon: ball, since which time we have exchanged investments. Second, because of Japan's rights in Manchuria and | Korea. America agrees with Japan that the | door of Manchuria should- be open and we | should not permit the Czar to put the key in his pocket. Nine-tenths of the Korean pos- seselons belong to Japan and Russia is not in a position to say what she may or may not do. Japan is fighting for her existence, while the Russian bear is licking his hungry chops for Manchuria, Korea, China and Japan. The third reason for our sympathy is that Japan stands for better civilization than Rus- sia, which has always opposed democracy and | practiced conquest and absorption. Fourth, Russia Ras not been a friend of the | United States. 1t must not be forgotten that Catherine 1I in 1776 offered Great Britain an army of Cossacks to shoot the men of America | Who rang the independence bell. In 1808 Ruesia showed her sympathy for Spain, with which she was in secret negotia- tions 'to fight against the United States. The facts of tifis secret compact are to this day to be found in the Spanish Red Book and is therefore a fact of history. d_Salisbury, knowing Rusela’s attitude against the United States at the very time the Czar was calling for an International peace conference, had English battleships ready, and in reply to a_question why England had made that move Lord Salisbury said that if any of the European powers should act against the United States every battleship under the union jack would be at the service of the American people.

While it is a production old {to the theater-goers of this city, it was, nevertheless, received by a large audience and afforded satisfaction. Each act of the piece has been re- arranged and invested with méw scenic productions since it was here last, and the specialties that comprise a major portion of the show are for the most nart new. The inferno e in the first act was worked out by excellent electrical effects, as were scenes that followed, the fantastic fog, the realms of Me- phisto, the lake of the lost souls and the frozen path. In the second act Miss Madelyn Marshal, as a country girl, scored a hit and George Herman. as Chaos, an imp of darkness, proved to be one of the best contortionists seen here for some time. The golden garden, a Chinese scene, followed, and the acrobatic work on the part of the four Salamonskys ~entertained for about ten minutes. The dances of the fair attendants of the grand mandarin were spectacular and well executed. The fiv amily Orni, well known in vaudeville circles, posed in “The Interrupted Supper” in the last act and were loudly applauded in their juggling stunts. This act closed with several gorgeous scenes. Among the leading in the cast are W. H. Lorelle and James B. Mackie, who are good comedians. Carlos, a noor shepherd, is done by Miss Mai_ Estelle, and Madeline is impersonated by Miss Amy Mortiner. Henry P. Thomas, as Mephisto, and Miss Alice Stoddard, as Crystalline, are strong in the cast. | Miss Lillian Herndon plays Count| Fortune. — e——————— ADAMS' Irish Moss Cough Balsam, the safe. sure, guaranteed cure. 25c, 50c.

The first| news the young man received of his father’s death was when the steamer | passed out of quarantine and the press | representatives climbed abqard. He was greatly shocked by the infor- mation conveyed to him, and sadly read the telegraphic story of his father's; tragic end as published in yesterday's Call, a copy of which was handed him. | Immediately after registering at the| | Palace young Lemp engaged the ser- vices of Jules Clerfayt to secure his| transportation overland, and he will leave for St. Louis on this morning’s| train. | He left for the Orient several months | ago, intending to meet a young friend | in Japan, with whom he purposed to! travel around the world. His intended companion, however, failed to meet him there, and Lemp concluded to abandon ! his trip and he started home on the China, little dreaming that his long ocean voyage would end in bereavement here. —_———————— CHOIR ASSOCIATION SINGS AT INAUGURAL RECITAL An Imposing Sacred Musical Pro- gramme Is Rendered at the Church of the Advent.
