We entered the right-hand section of
tho twin cabin, which proved to DO the
kitchen side. There was not much fur
niture--a table of hcwn logs, a chair of
bent saplings, and rough bench.
However, VIC did not notice such fur

the party. as he stopped over the high
threshold, had his attention instantly at
tractcd by the stove, and q brief rounGe-
lay of CALCULATIONS went along the group.

The stove was Il plain, small cooking

thing about it was it's position. Its alb

SO that tho top was about on u level

We formed in circle about the stove
and stared at it as solemnly as a group
of priests around u sacriticial tripod.
We felt of the posts-they were firm
and solid, showing that tho mysterious
arrangement was permanent, not a
temporary, one. Then VIC all bent our
necks and opened our mouths to look up
at the hole in tho roof, through which
tho stovc-pipe vanished.
Suddenly the stock-broller burst out
into "a laugh.

The condition of young Appel, who
was stabbed in the abdomen by a
drunken Swede named Doll near the
Plaza at l O'Clock yesterday morning,
was very critical last night, although
DR.. j. j. Choate, the attending physi-
clan, expressed himself as confident of
being able to pull his patient through,
if proper care be exercised.
In spite of the fact that the wound in
young Appel's abdomen was five inches
in length and almost three in depth, it
is not believed that any of his intestines
were severed by the knife blade, and
there is probability of his recovery,
provided the wound can be kept from
inflammation.
Joseph Doll, the man who SO nearly
committed murder in a fit of drunken
frenzy, refused to make any statement
yesterday, except that he had been
drinking and knew nothing about his
actions. He will be taken before Justice
Austin today for arraignment upon the
charge of having assaulted Appel with a
deadly weapon.

the heart OF an artist who finds himself
surrounded by friends and well-wishers.
In general way it may be said, that
more complete and satisfactory perform
ances of comic opera have never been
heard in San Francisco. His company
is not only larger than any he has had
before, but it is stronger and better,
and he has always had a superior organ
ization. One of it's chief merits is ow-
ing, perhaps, to the fact that large
majority of the company has grown up
in comic opera with Mr.. Carleton, and
become thoroughly imbued with not
only his vigor and discipline, but also
his fine artistic sense. His costumes
continue to display his exquisite taste
and lavish expenditure in that very es-
sential detail. With these things in
view, The Brigands becomes invested
with an especial interest as he gave it
throughout all of last season. His bold
and direct competition with the New
York Casino, in the production OF this
opera in New York while it was being
played there, and his complete success
in winning the favor OF the public and
the press, is we'll remembered"
The repertoire for the engagement
here will be as follows: Monday, Fri
day and Saturday matinee, The
Brigands; Tuesday, The Queens Lace
Handkerchiefs Wednesday, Nanon;
Thursday, Erminie; Saturday, The
Mikado.
The sale OF seats will begin tomorrow
morning at the box office of the Grand
opera house.
There are many capable young actors
on the stage nowadays, but most of them
are content to shine in society plays,
and of the new crop of players those
capable of delineating acceptably the
grand characters of Shakespeare can be
counted on the fingers of one hand.
T. This is not as t used &c be, for in the
palmy days, every stage struck aspirant
was ambitious of emulating Edwin For
rest or the elder Booth as Lear, Hamlet,
Macbeth or Othello. A generation ago
there were fifty actors on the American
stage who could give a creditable presen-
tation of either of these great roles.
Today, the list of actors who can play
either of these parts we'll can be tailed
by. the fingers of one hand. Prominent
among them is Thomas w. Keene, an
actor who has won words of commenda-
ton for his art from mouths of wisest
censure', both in England and America.
Rejuvenated in health, he has taken the
road this season with the best company
he has ever had, and his success has ev-
erywhere been commensurate with his
merits. He is now playing on the Pa
cifc coast, which he has not visited for
eight years, and will be seen in this city
shortly in one of his best impersona-
tions.

THE NATIONAL GAME.
PRESIDENT SPAULDING THINKS IN
TEREST is DYING OUT.
He Takes Gloomy View of the Situation
and Thinks the Players League Is to
Blame-The Brotherhood Is Satisfied.

CHICAGO, May 6.-Much comment has
been created in baseball circles by a
rather remarkable interview with Presi-
dent Spaulding, of the Chicago national
league team, printed in local paper
this evening. Spaulding speaks of the
apparent lack of interest the people are
showing in the game, as evinced
by the tremendous falling off
in the attendance at the games since
the opening of the season. In talk
at some length, he says the people have
in a large measure lost interest in cities
where the brotherhood has put clubs,
because they cannot take interest in two
national home clubs at once. The
people, he says, have lost that patriotic
feeling which prompts them to applaud
when their team scores a victory. The
brotherhood, Spaulding says, according
to its own predictions, should have
much larger crowds than it is drawing.
He does not deny that the attendance
at the league parks is greatly falling off,
but says if there were not that element
in the fight which kills the real interest
in the game, the attendance on either
side could not be complained OF.
1T is clear to me-" said Spaulding, in
conclusion, "that under the present
regime real interest in baseball will
soon die out. | regret to say it, but
am convinced that this is the case"
Spaulding's hope is that the great
cities will once again have each single
representative team in which to take
pride, and that then baseball will be
redeemed.
Some of the brotherhood magnates in
this city were interviewed tonight, and
refused to take Spaulding's gloomy view
of the situation. President Addison, of
the Chicago club, said; Interest has
died out in the old-style bleaching
boards of the national league, and games
played by sold and hired men. The
brotherhood is well satisfied with the
outlook, and as far as they are con-
cerned the patronage, considering the
weather, has been very gratifying"

by the avowal that Germans industrial
activity will not be affected, therefore

The Dreaded Season.

STOCKTON, May 6.-Late tonight men
were sent here from Union island for
shovels and wheelbarrows to be used in
strengthening the levees. The water is
now within 31s inches of the highest
point ever reached at the island. This
is the dreaded season, when the SHOWS
are melting. The water in Stockton
channel is now within foot of the
highest point reached during the winter.
