On all the islands of the sea and at all the shore spots to which sea birds resort the work of slaughter is being carried on quite relentlessly.

ORPHEUM ROAD SHOW CLITTERY R Five of Turns Presented by Traveling Aggregation Are | Among Best of Their Class SUPERIOR VAUDEVILLE Many First-Class Attractions for Patrons of the Popu- lar Home o LA The Orpheum Road Show opened ye! terday afternoon with much “a-claw, as Teddy Webb says. It glitters hard | where it does glitter, and Edgar Bixley | does the rest. Five turns the best of their class, two fair to middling and one, for. k, the worst, make up this de luxe And Perhaps the Kloes sisters still do most of the glittering, as they still furnish the thrills of the bill. And they do it with one hand behind them, except when ck-haired Kloes reaches out both and the other two use them, or the arms, for horizontal bars. She ing from the chandelier by one foot at the time, which doubtless makes it easter. Then, the sisters cannot welgh more than 130 pounds aplece.

It Hennele, enacted with much spirit by Miss Fido, is almost human in her de- pravity, and Seppl, her lover, essayed with marked distinction by Herr Fillax, is a regular Don Juan. band, The injured hus- Pratzenbauer, is played as before Bobby, and the policeman by Mr. They didn’t miss a cue, these and it is just as comical as before to see the giant Merian come into the baby city when the act is over. He is “behind” be- fore, where all good stage managers | should be. The Colonial Septette again is entirely new, and as seasonably pretty as it is new. The act is a musical one, but given with picture and an engaging dramatic flavor. The flavor is colonial, and the seven clever folk of the septette give it full point. They have the prettiest of the scenery the Road Show runs to this yvear, with the road through a Virginia forest—with the tenor gentleman pretty busy therein, and the drawing-room of a colonial mansion. It is when they reach the drawing-room that the patched and curled ladies three, and the male quar- tette begin to play. They play anything, mostly long-distance trumpets, horns, strings, cornets and all takingly. They end up with a very fetching edition of the Floradora sextette. Not colonial? But it should have been Campbell and Johnson begin the bill They cycle about as well as it can be done, on large wheels, small wheels, one wheel and the grindstone. But Campbell and Johnson call themselves “comedy” acrobats, and they are just that. Even Mr. Campbell—or Johnson?—turned a somer- sault over his head right into the audi- | ence. He says, though, that he is going | to wear an apple to-night. The Ford brothers and sisters are also new. In detachments they have been here before—the two sisters last year. The brothers were of the chief lights of the Dockstadter Minstrels. The Fords dance, none better. They are ‘“clog” artists, and Saurets at the heel and toe. Then there are Jules and Ella Garrison, with a turn In “An Anclent Roman” that is =0 good that it ought to be better.

A Cook’s tourist gets lost in one of the pyramids and meets the shade of Marc Antony on the still hunt for new Marc presently summons his ar- ny, and the super comes to his own. The act needs cutting and smartening, but it is full of good stuff. Winona Winter, the “Alabama Blossom,” sings. She looks prettier. But for anvthing but a road show this pretty lass is good vaudeville, and her ventriloguial act is distinetly novel and clever. As it is Christmas, I'll make Mr. Edgar Bixley a present of my silence.

The Poles are more numerous than ever before and their increase is rapid. Furthermore there now exists among all classes of Poles—nobles, clergy, bourgeoisie and peasants—a sympathy and sense of unity unprecedented in the Pol- ish history. Bven with the Polish social- ists the first aim is to secure Polish inde- pendence. All three empires among which | Poland was divided have mistrusted one another because of their common gullt. | Bach lives in fear of encroachment. Es- pecially are Austria and Russia suspi- cious of Germany because of the well- | known German ambition for the Drang- nach Osten. From all these considerations the Poles reason that Austria will take the first step toward the restoration of Polish in- dependence, for the sake of having a buffer state to serve as a safeguard against encroachment. It is expected that | Austria will first propose the move to Russia and that the two will then bring | diplomatic influence to bear on Germany, with the result that each power will re- | store its share of Poland, to reduce the | Sumber of its domestic and frontier prob lems How soon the Poles expect this hope to be realized depends on the extent of the disasters to Russia in the Far East, on the Polish political influence in Austria | and on the continued isolation of Ger- many. Even a Balkan crisis involving | two or more of the great powers would be to Poland's advantage. In the mean- | while the Poles are making every effort | to avail themselves of their approaching | opportunities. They are consclous as a people that they are fitted for self-gov- ernment and independence as they never were before, because they have learnea the lessons of modern civilzation. —_———— Power of Advertising.

This is the second time that this vessel | has been in this port within thirty days under. similar circumstances. This is due to the fact that terrific storms, strong winds and high seas have been sweeping along that part of the coast recently. The vessel's anchorage is at a point known as Blunt's Reef, where she gets full benefit of all the fury of the ele- ments. When she is there, she is held in position by an immense mushroom an- chor, the largest of its kfhd on this coast. Attached to this are two heavy chains which keep the vessel well in place in any usual rough weather, but when a storm of unusual violence comes up, ghe parts her moorings and has to put to sea. She will remain in port until the chains can be picked up from the anchor, and will then return to her post. She has gone over to Oakland to tle up until she starts back to the reef. oty i ot Gives Acrobatic Performance. The Scottish cook of the British ship Higin- shire gave an informal exhibition of prowess, strength and acrobatic feats on’ Mission-street wharf vesterday morning much to the amuse- ment of a blg crowd of water front strollers. The giver of the entertainment had besn up town celebrating the advent of Christmas tide in proper shape. He arrived back to his ship “ripe and rosy.” As he was about to board the vessel he suddenly changed hie mind just No amount of persuasion by the satlors on the ship could in- duce him to come on board. was then attempted, but the cook was: too much for the whole bunch and when they laid hands op him he sent them fiying in all direc tions, When he found he was master of ti situation he pulled off his coat and shirt, le ing him stripped to the walst. He then kicked off his shoes and began going through all sorts of batic feats and Sandow performances. Whenever any attempt was made to put & stop to his proceedings he threatened to ‘“‘do up’”’ the whole of the police force and if neo- essary the entire British contingent of citizens living here. In the meantime a great crowd had collected who were thoroughly enjoying his antics and_applauding his expertness as an ‘When the fun was at its height Po- liceman Cooper hove in sight and the mixer of lum duff scampered up the gangplank and id himself in the ship galle] Frrssd Walks Into Bay to Save Dog.

The dog swam and played pranks and tricks in the water for W \hiie. and fnally swam up against a lot of riftwood. His owner, who had been enjoying Christmas cheer,” became imbued with the fact that the dog was & '‘goner,” and withou; hesitation stepped off from the pontoon an | attempted to walk to the assistance of the ca- | nine. In enother minute McLeughlin was floundeying around and yelling for help. Two or thret lusty longshoremen ran to his rescue and hauled him on to the dock, where he Jooked Ifke a'‘“‘drowned rat.”” The dog In the meantime landed of his own accord, and mas- ter and beast went dripping up the street to the Harbor Bmergency Hospital. There Dr. Reuben Hill applied restoratives to McLaugh- lin and then put him to bed. As McLaughlin came back to his senses he sald: ‘‘T've saved my dog and I feel as good as though I had saved a Christian.” Leif Makes Fast Time. The new launch Leif, buflt for Super- intendent Halsey of the Alaske Packers' As- sociation, made a highly successful trial trip yesterday, much to the satisfaction of her owners. She made 18 miles with ease. She is to be used in_ the bay, making trips between the vessels of the asscciation lying here in the bay and in Oakland creek. Sme is 28 feet long and 0% feet beam. She is the first type of @ motor boat bullt here, similar to those now popular in the East.

I. Young, a well-to-do widow, who was found dead yesterday afterngon in her room, 508 Hyde street. There was a strong odor of gas in the room, coming from a small stove, which was lighted. A. 8. Howe, landlord of the house, says the woman was a sufferer from heart trouble and death was due to natural causes. His opinion is shared by Dr. A. | B. McGill who was called in, but the offi- cials at the Coroner’s office, as well &s | the police, are of the opinion that death was due to asphyxiation and an investi- gation is in progress. Mrs. Young's lifeless body was found shortly after 2 o'clock by Howe. The woman announced in the morning that she intended to do some Christmas shop- ping and, not seeing her leave the room, Howe became alarmed and made an in- vestigation. . The door of the room was locked, but, looking through the keyhole, he saw the woman sitting on a chair, fully dressed with the exception of her coat and hat. Howe broke open the door and found the woman was dead. Fe noticed the gas stove lit and also detected a faint odor of gas that was escaping from a small rubber tube. He says very little gas was escaping and this could not have produced death. : Dr. McGill was summoned immediately and, after examining the remains, he too came to the conciusion that death was the result of heart diséase and not car- bon monoxide. The woman had suffered for years with heart trouble and asthma and had lately complained of feeling very bad. The Morgue officlals were notifled and Deputy Brown went for the remains. After a close examination he at once stated the woman had dled as a result of gas polsoning. He declared she had been dead for at least ten hours and scoffed at the idea that an affiiction of the heart was the cause of her sudden demise. The matter was reported to Captain of Detectives Burnett and he detailed De- tective, Armstrong on the case. Arl strong visited the house and made a careful survey of the premises. He ex- amined the gas stove and noted the leakage and he, too, thinks Mrs. Young was poisoned by the deadly fumes. The woman evidently passed away without making even the slightest sort of a struggle. It seems only reasonable that had her death been the result of accidental asphyxiation, she would sure- 1y have made an effort to save her life, for she could have discovered that some- thing was wrong when she smelled the gas. But there was no sign of a struggle, the woman's ppsition indlcating that she had met her death calmly while seated in a chair, apparently ready to leave the house. Mrs. Young came from Reno, Nevada, about two weeks ago. She was a woman of comfortable circumstances and had two sons living In Nevada, both of whom are well to do. They were advided of her death last *night and will take charge of the remains, which have been removed to a private undertaking establishment. PR Injured by a Car. Clarence Greenwood, who lives at 14 Duboce avenue, was knocked down by @ car at Sixteenth and Misslon streets last night and badly bruised. He was taken to the Southern Pacific Hospital. —_————————— LABORER STABBED.—N. Just, a laborer employed by Gray Bros., was set upon and stabbed several times at Kearmny and Pacifio streets last night. He was much under the influence of liquor and could not give a de- scription of his assallants. He is not seriously injured. —_—e————— FALLS OFF DOCK.—Jobn Small, a long- shoreman, fell off the wharf at the foot of Third street last night while Intoxicated. He was fished out and treated at the Potrero Emergency Hospital. He suffered no serious results from his ducking. The South Stde life saving crew renewed search yesterday for the bodies of two fisher- men drowned the day before, but could not find any trace of them. G. Murray, Deputy Sherift of Ban Mateo County, Who Was an eye witness of the accident, recovered the engine of the boat. R e —— LATE SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVED. Sunday, December 24.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Dec. 24.—While a force of police officers and a posse of armed citizens were scouring the eity for a man who had stolen two coats and attempted to burglarize a hardware store, City Marshal Willlam G. John- son arrested him in a dark, lonely spot on the outskirts of the city in a sen- sational manner. The Marshal sepa- rated himself from the posse and after a long search located the man. As the Marshal hailed the fellow and stated his business‘there was a flash of a re- volver and a bullet sped by the officer’s head. With a leap the officer was upon the fellow and after a desperate strug- gle took the man to the County Jail The man refuses to give his name. He is about 31 years of age. Tha police are of the opinion that he is a des- perado. Some time prior to his arrest the thiet entered Humphrey's saloon, and taking the coat and overcoat of Guerro Bolton out of the billiard-room, left the house by the rear door. In the mean- time Bolton, who was playing billlards, missed his coats and notified the at- tendant, C. H. Brown. The two went to the back door, where they met the thgif. He was boldly donning the stolen garments. On being asked what he meant by such actions, the burglar replied, “None of your business,” and pointing a revolver at his Interrogators, gracefully retreated in true desperado style. An alarm was raised and a posse of citizens started in pursuit. Within half an hour John Minor discovered the man making an attempt to burglarize the store of C. H Reed & Co. When the robber saw that he was discovered he opened fire upon Minor and ran away. Within a short time, thanks to Marshal Johnson's bravery, he was a prisoner. The greatest excitement prevailed in the city and there was talk of lynching the ma ————— TRANSMITTING THE VOICE BY MAIL THE VERY LATEST New Phono-Postal Card Brings Verbal Message From Distant Friends in Natural Tones. A postal card that talks—this is the latest contribution of science to the comfort of the world. The phono-pos- tal, as it is called, will bring to friends at home the spoken words of the trav- eler. They may actually hear his voice as he tells of the scenes he is visiting, or speaks messages of affection and cheer. Jules Verrfe, whose strange, clairvoy- ant fancy foresaw the submarine boat, the airship and other marvels years be- fore their appearance, likewise pre- dicted the modification of the phono- graph, which i{s now a reality. The Literary Digest gives a transla- tion from La Nature, Paris, describing the invention as follows: “The phono-postal is an apparatus intended to record and afterward re- produce the human voice with the ald of a plece of cardboard of the size and shape of a postal card. “The advantages of the phono-postal ere many. In these days of extended tours there can be nothing more at- tractive than to put in one's automobile or in a corner of one's bag this appa- ratus, which takes up no more room than two or three boxes of letter paper. By adding a few dozen cards prepared for use as records we may, at each stopping place, send to those at home fresh and. as we may say, vibrant news of our journey™ In making.g phono-postal the sender speaks into the phonograph, a piece of prepared cardboard taking the place of the customary wax cylinder. The diaphragm of the instrument has & sapphire point that traces the record in a sensitive layer of what is ealled ‘“sonorine,” spread over the surface of the card. The essence of the invention lies in the composition of this sub- stance, which, although easily spread on a sheet of cardboard, possesses all the advantages of the wax with which the ordinary phonograph cylinders and gramophone disks are covered. In ad- dition, sonorine is so hard that it will safely bear the roughest handling that it i1s lkely to get in passing through the mails. 7 The French writer says: “The sounds are recorded in a spiral beginning at the edge of the card and growing continually smaller until the last circle is barely as large as a 10- centime plece. The groove made is so hard that even the two postmarks are not able to destroy more than a syl- lable or two. ¢ ¢ * “On one card there may easily be in- seribed seventy-five to eighty words, which is sufficient to give ample news. We should not forget that the phono card merely alms at filling the same place as the illustrated postal card. “The phonographic correspondence may be put on the side reserved for the address. and this may be written over the grooves traced by the record- ing diaphragm without the slightest interference with the reproduction of the sounds.” The invention has bee: kg 'n Introduced In —_—— Camera Season Is Open. One of the surest signs that the fall has come to the city {s the presence in the main’ thoroughfares and in the parks on Sundays of a small army of amateur photographers who are clearly from the suburban towns around New York. As a rule these camera flends travel in groups of varying size. Often one of these groups will consist of a er _and mother and one or two 1 children, while now and agaln stroller will see two or three men ther and occasionally.a pair of lovers. | They take pictures of all sorts of | things, but famous buildings of the town are their favorite subjects. Just how many times the City Hall |is “snapped” in the course of the fall months it would be difficult to ascer- tain. Next to that structure the fa- vorite is the Flatiron building, of which there must be many weird pho- phs in suburban albums. The Metropolitan Opera-house comes next in favor, and after that the tall tower of the Times building is a winner. Of course the parks come In for their share of this invasion. But since the rural photographer lives among the trees and flelds most of the time, he prefers, when he comes to town, _io preserve on his plates or films some record of what really belongs to the city.—New York Press. —_—————— A barber isn't necessarily an artist be- cause he illustrates his stories with cuts.
