From 2 o'clock untll 4 o’'clock last Sat- urday afternoon the home of Mrs. May | Gleason on lower Sccond street was the | scene of a delightful pink beer to which the older set exclusively had been invit- ed. Among those present were the Mes- dames Eliza Maguire, Kate Daley and Lizzie Kennedy, and with the hostess they formed a charming vocal quartet— soprano, mezzo, contralto and falsetto. With toast and song everything went mer- | rily as the proverbial wedding bell, and each departing guest assured Mrs. Glea- 5 | | o -+ | son that her violation of the Lenten re- | straint was more than vindicated by*its | unqualified success. Thus, one by ofie, the ladies went to their respective domi- ciles to prepare the vesper meal until only Mrs. Maguire, Mrs. Daley and Mrs. Ken- nedy remained, and their request to be permitted to go was genially, withal firm- ly, vetoed by Mrs. Gleason. just won't hear of you girls leav- ing me until we have had some more music and beer,” she said. So they stayed and sang and sipped | until Mrs. Kennedy wondered how their | united volces would sound if ventilated al | fresco. “Let's go to South Park and sit on a bench and sing something,” she sug- | gested, and the suggestion was imme- | diately adopted. “Seeing Nellie Home,” a favorite song of Mrs. Kennedy’s ere her voice assumed the tremolo that comes with the years, was the opening number of the bench concert, and it brought many adult heads to windows and quickly congregated a | juvenile audience. But for some reason the warbling did not receive the applause which was expected. Indeed, some of the children rewarded it with ribald jeers, and one matron at an open window was plainly overheard remarking to another matron at a near-by doorway that she, the former matron, would like to ‘“empty | dishwater on the old fools,” to which the | second _matron - responded by declaring | that she had “a good mind to send for the police.” When the police—consisting of Patrol- men McEntee and Kruger—did arrive the vocalists had deserted the ‘bench and were linked arm-in-arm and parading the park and singing_“Seeing Nellle Home” in four different keys, nor wotld they desist when commanded to do so by the men in uni- form. So, encouraged by shouts of “Run ‘em 1 “Choke 'em off!” “Lock ‘em up!"” and “Hock 'em quick!” the arrests were made. When arraigned before Pollce Judge Conlan on the’ charge of peace disturb- ance the defendants pleaded guilty, ex- pressed repentance and were remanded for sentence. Mrs. Gleason informed his | Honor that she might not haye given her pink beer during Lent if her birthday were not within the restrictive season, but as she naturafly has only a few more of those anniversaries coming she'thought it would have been just as serious’ a transgression to neglect the opportunity to celebrate as to eschew sackcloth and ashes for one day only. As for. her guests, who had no such excuse to offer, they could speak for themselves. S | Mike McKenna, whose frequent lapses to inebriety convey terror to the Po- trero, was pronounced gullty of peace dis- turbance and battery and will be sen- tenced by Judge Mogan. . s e Tom Jones' plea of not gullty, like the conents of his milk cans, was pro- nounced too thin by a jury in Judge Shertall's court, and he preferred pay- ing a $50 fine to serving fifty days in prison. For stealing a book from the Em- porfum literary department Fred Sea- man was given five months by Judge | Conlan. The volume treated of pisci- | culture and was marked $3.50, and Fred | averred that he simply could not over- | come the temptation to piifer it, so | devotea is he to ~the gentle'art’ ot | angling. . in alcoholism John Graney was stricken with penitence when he saw folk going to Sunday morning religious service, and it was with Intent to take an oath of total abstinence from intoxicants | for one calendar year that he entered | 8t. Mary’'s Paulist Church, at California and Dupont streets, but he fell asleep and created a disturbance when re- quested to leave. Patrolman J. J. Far- rell arrested him and 'he forfeited the $10 bail deposited to secure his ap- pearance before Judge Mogan, and now a bench warrnn= is out for his arrest. . “Go forra’d!” commanded First Mate Thomas Finney of the British ship Kensington, moored to Unijon-: whert. “Go forra’'d!” he repeated, ‘4 donl‘t uya dare t' f:‘l: aft again 'ltll pollutin’ langw! The rasponse of - hmnck-‘mnu Merchant, able seaman, was a coarse epithet. Then the mate grabbed the. saflor and was attempting to enforce. his mandate when the sallor swung one of his fists broke the bridge of that member. ™ “Of simply went hnwff. yer wu‘hup.

S0 he was given six months for baitery. . e Mrs. Pa(rlck Smith of 207 Eighth street had her husband arrested for having- battered her while he was drunk and then urged Judge Cabaniss to deal leniently with him. “He is a good man every day in the week except Saturday,” she said, “and then he gets drunk and feels ugly and if I speak to-him at all he takes a punch at me.” _ “I could send him to jail for a long period and thus break him of his weekly habit of drinking to excess and beating you,” said the Judge, “but to do 80 would be to deprive you and the children of maintenance, so I suppose I must let him go.” . James Coyne, who confessed that he is an opium slave of fifteen vears’ stand- ing," whiningly requested that he be given a chance to leave town, “BEvery time I'm pinched,” he said to Judge Shortall, “I'm sent up for three or six months, and I never get a chance to get out of town.” “Why don't you -get -out.of -town when you get ‘out of jail?” ‘his Honor inquired, and ‘Mr. Coyne was per- plexedly wrestling with the problem when he was sentenced to.twenty-four hours. Then he gave it up as too in- tricate for immedfate solution. * DR . Jane Montgomery and May O'Connell were peddling lottery tickets in the nave of the ferry building, when a policeman arrested them, and thelr plea that the alleged offense was committed on State ground, and therefore not within the jurisdiction of a municipal court, dld not deter Judge Conlan from pronouncing them guilty and postponing sentelicé until to-day. e o George A. Fox, alias Abu Hamed, as- sistant manager of the .Great Arabian Herp and Medicine Company, was seat- ed in his office at No. 7 Grant avenue when some unseen - person violently smote his hedd with some unseen-wea- pon, probably & bludgeon, and when he leaped to his fect .and looked around in search of his assailant the only other human being in the apartment was Charles M. Atkin, president of the aforementioned corporation, whose de- meanor indicated that he®t was who had dealt the blow. So, without further ado, Mr. Fox sprang at Mr. Atkin and they were clinched and exchanging short-arm jolts. when Patrolman Brady rushed into ti herbarium and placed them under arrest for peace disturb- ance. . Mr. Fox, whose Arabilan name did not appear on the calendar, dofted his fez and told Judge Mogan that he was pos- itive the man who struck him from be- hind was Mr. Atkin, although that gen- tleman had received no known provoca- tion for the act.. Therefore, it was but just that in addition to the original charge a complaint of malicious mis- chief should be filed against Mr. Atkin. “Allah is great,” quoth his Honor, “and so is the law of this land, so both you gentlemen are hereby pronounced gullty as charged.” *'Tis kismet,” sighed Mr. Fox. “'Tis toug! murmured Mr. Atkin. The medical profession may be inter- ested by the information that Dr. Mar- connay, billed as “physician surgeon" of the great Arabian Herb and Medicine Company, which announces ‘“roots, herbs, barks and berries for all diseases —no minerals,” was not personally in- volyed in the altercation bétween the president and the assistant manager. P Among those who attended the Wood- men’s ball last Saturday night at Ein- tracht Hall was Charles H. Dippey, and he imbibed at the bar until he became disorderly, when = Policeman Furman undertook to eject him and had his offi- cial helmet {rréparably smashed in the resultant scuffie.” “I went to the ball to see a lady friend of ‘mine,” sald Mr. Dippey to Judge Cabaniss, “and I couldn’t find her, so 1 suppose I felt ugly.” Sentence this morning. ~ ———i————— COUSTOM-HOUSE LABORERS PLACED IN CLASSK LIST ‘Way Is Opened Whereby They May Be Assigned orNPromoted to Better Pald Positions.

Hoggatt Newly Ap- ‘pointed Governor, Enthusi- astic Over Future of North g INTERIOR OPE NG . UP Two Railway Lines.to Sea- board Will Develop Rich Copper and Gold- Region —_— ‘ “Alaska is as yet barely. within her formative state, in spite of the millions of dollars she has exported within the last few years. Her resources remain un- developed—they have been barely touched. With the bullding of new railroads and the tremendous development of the vast Interior. country which will follow close on the heels of the construction workmen, I look for Alaska to give the world a far greater surprise than any yet furnisHed by her.” ‘W. B. Hoggatt, the newly appolnted Governor of Alaska. who is in this city for a few days on his way to Los An- geles, spoke enthusiastically of the fu- ture of the peninsula last evening. He was recently appointed by President Roosevelt to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Governor Brady, and, although his name has not yet been sent to the Senate for confirmation, there is no doubt that the President’s choice will find approval. Hoggatt is a young man, barely 40. He gradugted at 18 from the Naval Academy, served eighteen years, reached the rank of lieutenant and.then retired to enter the mining business in Alaska.' He is one of the most popular mining men in the north- and his candi- dacy for.the Governcrship was vigorous- 1y backed by a host of influential friends, both there and in the States. When his appointment is confirmed he will journey to Washington to confer with President Roosevelt and the Secretary of the Inte- rior over Alaskan affairs and will then return at once to begin his dutles at Sit- ka. Governor Hoggatt continued: The two new raflways now under course of construction will tap this great interior region and open it for the development of the settiers who will pour in. The Alaska Central is. build- ing up from the town of rd, on Resurrec- tion Bay, directly north tnrough the Shushitna Valley, a new fleld. COAL MINES ABOVE SEWARD, There are’great coal ‘beds In this district which have been discovered, but never worked to a great extent. 1 believe that the output of these mines aione will pay for the, con- struction of this line. Alonz the Shushitna Valley, large placer and quartz mines will be developed. It will ba Sibls to et supplies up there Winter and sumt: mer ani so make the country a habitable and profitable place for a_white man to remain and make his fortune. There have been no means of transportation’ into this regiom before and consequently it has mot recelved Its share of development. The Alaska -Centrad will build 240 miles of track at the present®ime. But'the Valdez and Copper River Rallroad will mean as much, if not more, to Alaska at the present time than will the Alaska Central. The Valdez and Copper River road is buflding from the seaport of Valdez directly to the in- terlor town of Fairbanks, about 450 miles. Fairbanks has grown rapldly in the Jast two years with the pinched . transportation factli- tles afforded It and it will now boom. The object of this line fs the development of the great copper flelds that lie along the river and up the valley. I would mot be surprised at all to see Alaska the greatest copper producing country In the world within the next few g years. The evidences of enormous copper de- posita, arg plain to the naked eve. Tests have prova IS Tien. The Brov ot taines- 140 miles ‘above Valdow show the greatest possibilities of all the mines so far discovered. * OFEN CONTINUOUS SERVICE. These two rail lines will give this great intarior country a continuous service the year around: This is a tremendous advantage and will haften the growth of population. They will also glve these regions a direct and. quick route to a seaport town. It has been the cus- tom to take supplies into these districts by water and team during the. summer months, and those who remained during the long win- ter had to provide themseives in advance with sufficlent food to last them. Once the rivers froze up they had no chance of securing more. The rallways will solve the difficulty. They will have a hard time to. keep open on the west side of the mountains, but on the east side the difficulties will be light. It 1s almost impossible for an putsider to realize the wonderful results that the building of these two lines will bring. Thelr construe- tion will mean much to San Francisco. The building of these lines will shorten the . dis- tance from San-Francisco to the interfor fully two days and poesibly more. The provisions for this country are generally purchased in Seattle and sent on the boats to St. Michaels and then up the Yukon and Tanana rivers to the interlor. This is a long journey, very slow and involving a change or two to boats of smaller draft. The rallways will compete for this seaboard traffic and they will have tha advantage of being able to run summer and ‘winter. A line of steamers direet from Sdn Fraacisco to the seaboard would: be to compete with the northern steamers and the San Franclsco merchants would then salngs great irade. Governor Hoggatt spoke ardently of tic} chances for young men in the north. He found his fortune'there .in the famous Jullan mine. He expects Congress to create another judicial district in Ataska and to give her the privilege of sending a delegate to Congress under the same conditions as a Territory. —_———————— EMPLOYERS AND UNION MEN FINALLY COMES TO TEIM!

Eastern Firm of !ID.-‘ & MiRer, The long existing trouble between Bloom & Miller, Eastern manufacturers of hats and caps, and the local labor unfon has been amicably settled. A boycott had been placed against the firm many months ggo, but it has been raised and many workers have gone back to their old employment. Organized labor is making a bitter fight against the Golden West Res- taurant, 9 Stockton street. - Difficulty with the Waiters’ Unfon is the cause af a boycott being levied against the staurant and the members of the oks' Union have joined arms with their fellow unionists in the fight. The International Cigarmakers’ Union claims to "be .at the head of all labor organizations, to have a member- ship of 41,536, and to have expended since the date of its organization in 1879 the sum of $6,416,520.78.

CAS' EXPLOSION CAUSES PANIC Workman in \e-u'ch of Leak | Finds It With a Flame and Loud Report Follows Much excitement was caused early yesterday afternoon In the.vicinity of | Bush street and Grant avenue by an explosion of gas under a stalrway of a | building at 505 Bush street. Pedes- trians on the sfdewalk “were terrified | at the sudden report and ran helter- skelter for safety. The explosion was cauled by a work- man who was repairing gas pipes of | the company. He had a lighted candle in his hand searching for a defect in the pipe. Though he was some distance from the leak the cloud of gas was ig- nited and instantly there was a terrific explosion. A hole several feet in diameter was blown through the sidewalk, and dirt and rocks were.shot high in the air. It was a miracle that pedestrians es- caped being struck by falling mate- rials. The stairs of the house at 505 Bush street were wrecked. The lower por- tion of the bullding is occupied by a Japanese restaurant, while upper sto- ries are the apartments of a colored men’s club. Inside of _the bullding there was a panic for a few minutes. Japanese and negroes fought. to get into the ‘street, and great excitement prevailed in the neighborhood. A member of the club turned in a fire alarm and the department responded, adding to the hubbub.. The workman who was searching for the leak quickly left the scene without any ome ascer- talning his identity. ‘A number of windows in' the build- ing were shattered.
