She was 54 years old. She lived in a two-room hut with her husband, who is a day laborer. Just before she died she called for a lawyer | and made a will, leaving $40,000 in cash | to her husband. The money, she de- i clared, was on deposit. in a bank in | Oakland, Cal. The woman and her husband have |lived here seventeen years. They al- ways have been in very poor circum- | stances. Mrs. Spears had often spoken to her neighbors about a legacy her | father had left her, held in trust for her by her stepmother in an Oakland bank. It is thought very strange that she did {not claim the money before. She re- fused to give her reasons for not claim- ing the money.

It is one of the events of this bril- liantly eventful season and incompar- able after its fashion. As to the rest, the whole performance went more smoothly than Friday’s, except for| Mr. Kiingsor's castle that balked as it went to the wings. And, by the way, though Bayreuth may know a thing or two about dark changes, the “Mother Goose” folk knew another or| two.

Mr. Burgstaller and Mr. Van Rooy. gave each magnificent performances, so Mr. Goritz, and for me the second “Parsifal” left only a vivid appetite for a third.

BLANCHE PARTINGTON. ?UELE 2 TR RED LETTER NIGHT IN OPERA. “Parsifal” Draws Greatest House Financially Known in City’s History. Every seat in the Grand Opera-house from pit to dome was taken last night. it was the greatest night, from a financial standpoint, known in the his- tory of this theater. Crowds thronged eyes dreaming | Not less uncanny and victorious | the vestibule as early as 5 o'clock trying to buy admissions for the sec- ond part of the performance, which began at 8:45. Not a seat was to be had, and nearly 2000 persons were turned away. The audience was by far the most brillfant of the season. Full dress was the order of the night, and this ex- tended away up into the top floor. The gowns of the women were magnificent and the display of jewels was dazzling. The foyer, during the entire act, was crowded with the representative men of the city, and many of the leading so- clety favorites among the fair sex also mingled in the erowd. Charles W. Strine, the local manager of the San Francisco season of the Conried Metropolitan Opera Company, said last night: “The magnificent audience which at- tended the performance of ‘Parsifal’ this evening represented the greatest house financially in thes history of grand opera in San Francisco, and sets a standard in this particular that will probably never be equaled In this city. “It proves, & nothing else could pos- | sibly prove, a fact that I have stated ever since my first experience with the San Francisco musical public in the Melba engagements of 1898 and 1899, that San Francisco is the greatest musical city of its size in the world. “No other city of its population and environment can even compare with it in musical taste, musical enthusiasm and the splendid manner in which really great musical enterprises welcomed by the public. Such support is a credit to the city, and a great credit to its people.” SRS P P s THE COAST FOR “LA GIOCONDA.” Nordica, Caruso and Other Stars Will Sing To-Night. “La Gloconda” will be sung to- night at the Grand Opera-house, with he following magnificent cast.

Goldberg, United States commissioner at Covelo, Mendocino County, who was accused of using his official position to aid agents in set- tling people upon lands in Round Val- ley, says he has been. unjustly ac- cused. In regard to Van Sweden, who made charges against him, he says he will forfeit $500 if he cannot prove the allegations untrue. Goldberg declares he did not aid Chatfield & Vinzent to settle people upon the lands, as alleged. Further- more, he explains that the lands un- der his jurisdiction are in no way con- nected with the Indian lands. There are thousands of acres of vacant Gov- ernment land in Mendocino, Trinity and Humbildt countles, he says, that have been overlooked. because of their inaccessibility and it is these he has in charge as commisisoner. Goldberg says he has at all times kept within his official duties regard- ing the location of lands and refers to several prominent people in his lo- cality and this city as to his standing. ———————— ' Captain Nelson Dead.

During that period the Japanese had neither food nor water. The weather was rough at the time and great seas ‘were constantly swashing over the up- turned boat. P Fortunately for the fisherman, when the boat was capsized the center board was down, and as the boat was thrown over the gearing of the center board got caught in the sail, which held it in place. To this the poor fisherman clung. When taken on board the Wel- lington he was completely exhausted. He said: My name is Tusko, and T am a Japanese. I left Nanaimo_with my brother to go out fishing in a boat. We ran into rough weather from the start. and our boat was tossed about right and left. Finally we were struck by & ter- rible squall, and the boat went over. At that time my brother was lashed to one of the seats in the boat, and when she went over he must have been instantly drowned. I swam about for a_ while and finally got on_top of the upturned boat. The wind was howling and the seas were raging furiously at the time. As soon s I got on the boat I grabbed hold of the centerboard. The suffering I experi— enced while standing on the upturned boat cannot be described. I was constantly drenched. It was freezing cold. 1 saw ves- sels several times, and shouted and made sig- nals with an oar, but until the Wellington came to my relief no one apparently saw me. It is impossible to tell the terrible experience 1 have been through. The Wellington was eighty-six hours ! from Nanaimo.

Kitk arrived yesterday from Fresno to attend the meeting of the State Board of Education to-day at the Palace Hotel. Relative to the published statement made by J. H. Strine, former secretary of the State Text Book Committee, to the effect that the declaring of that office vacant was caused by improper motives on the part of Mr. Kirk, the latter had this to say: 3 Mr. Strine’s accusation is utterly without | foundation of fact. The ncipal cause that ied to the declaring of bis office vacant was lack of money in the school textbook fund to | pay his salary.
