Nor was the audience of the kind that is predisposed to flat- ter. Scclally speaking, it was a hetero- geneous assemblage. While the boxes contained costly raiment and jewels, the remainder of the house was largely | filled by folk who were not there for sartorial display, but to watch the per- formance and judge it on its merits. Applause from these folk means much. “In the Palace of the King,” built upon the lines of Marion Crawford's historical tale of the same title, was the bill and all the prominent people in the cast were nmew to San Francisco.

SAN JOSE, Sept. 3.—A snake hunt, resulting in the capture of a seven- foot bull snake, was enjoyed by the employes of the Santa Clara Valley Mill and Lumber Company to-day, at Fourth and Santa Clara streets. A few weeks ago a snake trainer named Kelley resided at a lodging-house near the mill. He had a large number of snakes and while he was in a hospital recovering from the bite of a copper- head three of his reptiles escaped. They were known to be in the lumber yards and the men since then have been al- most afraid to handle the lumber. Be- sides the bull snake, a rattlesnake and copperhead escaped. A few days ago | the rattlesnake was killed. Tracks of | the bull snake were found to-day and | the men hunted him down. | tile was found between some lumber The rep- and one of the more daring of the men threw a noose over its head. Then, by means of sticks, the snake was put into a box. It was more than seven feet long and three inches in diameter at the thickest place. The copperhead is still at large. . ——————— Boy Accidentally Kills Himself. MADERA, Sept 3.—Melvin Matteson, the 15-year-old son of A.

POLICE TRACE - THE FUGITIVE Oregon Man Who Is Ac- cused of Murder Is Found Working in Fish Cannery FOG PREVENTS HER CAPTURE eamer Tartar Has Close Call on Her Last Run to Yokohama From Vietoria PORTLAND, Or., Sept, 3.—Bert Oakman, for whom the police and detectives of this section of Oregon have been searching for a week past, was captured to-day at a fish cannery at Warrensville, about thirty miles east of this city. Oakman had been working in the cannery since last Monday, commencing work there two days after he killed Frank Dennett at Hillsboro. Dennett had aroused Oakman's dis- pleasure because he had betrayed the secret of Oakman's clandestine mar- riage, VICTORIA, B. C., Sept. 3.—Officers of the Canadian Pacific Railway Com- pany’s steamship Tartar, which ar- rived to-day from Japan and China, report a narrow escape from capture by* the Vladivostok squadron when near Yokohama outward bound from Victoria last trip.. A fog™ made the Tartar approach Yokohama under slow bell and when the haze cleared several Russian warships were seen at sea a few miles astern, where the Tartar had just passed. The officers consider themselves very fortunate to have escaped a fate similar to that of the Knight Com- mander, as the ship had on board a good deal of flour and other food- stuffs. g B S — Opening of Terrace Garden. Thousands of brilliant electric lights flluminated the happy countenances of well satisfled gourmands who bestowed their patronage upon Terrace Garden at its opening last evening. Every one praised the excellent service, the splendid cuisine, the pure atmosphere, the lack of a basement, the respectability of the place, the courtesy of managers and walters, the beautiful melodies played by the neatly uniformed Jaulus Hungarian Hussar Orchestra. and, in fact, the com- lete comfort prevalent everywhere. The %rst time in the history of San Francis- 0 has there been established a cafe which resembles in appearance as well as service the famous European resorts of this nature. Handsome flowers are arranged tastefully in hanging baskets and beautiful palm trees grouped pictur- esquely about the place give the scene a most cheerful aspect. A hat and cloak room is provided for visitors and the management holds itself personally re- spensible for every checked article. An ideal checking system for the walters makes overcharge impossible. —_——————— Electricity Cause of Fall. Fred F. Dunne, an employe of the city in repairing the wires of the fire and police alarm system, yesterday sued the San isco Gas and Electric Company for $50,000 damages for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained by him on March 2 ‘while in the performance of his duty. ‘He climbed a pole at the corner of Union and Powell streets and his hand ‘was badly burned by contact with one of the defendant’s ated wires. He fell twenty-two feet and his hip was broken. 4 —_—————————— GLOVE MAKER'S SON IS QUICKLY DIVORCED Emil Blumenthal Must Pay Deserted Wife $3000—Other Matrimonial Penalties. ) At noon yesterday in Judge Heb- bard’s court Nettie Blumenthal was granted a divorce from Emil Blumen- thal on the ground of desertion. The sult had been filed less than twenty- four hours before and while the young husband was represented in court by Henry Ach and Myer Jacobs they of- fered no opposition to the proceed- ings.
