Amateur Iheatricalx.

There was time not more than five or
six years ago when New York society was
more than fond of private theatricals
Scarcely day passed but the papers con-
tanned an account of the wonderful achieve
ments of this or that leader of fashion on
the stage Every woman of fashion who
wanted to raise money for charity opened
her house to the young people and old who
believed that if their lines had been cast in
professional life Salvini and Bernhardt
would have had 70 hide their diminished
heads, and there was never any trouble In
selling tickets at s. apiece, provided the
players were sufficiently we'll known in so
ciety. There are always plenty Of people
who esteem it an honor TO be asked to buy
tickets at any price il the seller is soma
one high in social life Today amateur
theatricals have disappeared We seldom
bear of anything of the kind among the
people who pretend to lead the social
world.-New York Cor Charleston News

LIGHT ON THE SEA.
The Great Beacon orr Humboldt
Bar Finished.

Sixty-three miles out from Humboldt Bar
a lonely rock in the Pacific Ocean has long
been a source of danger to the mariner, but
will be so no longer. After eight years
warfare with the winds and waves the
workmen of the Government have placed
ON the rock a magnificent structure that
will be known as the ST. Georges light.
Work on the building was finished on
Saturday, and nothing now remains to be
done but to place the lens In its position and
start the machinery. 1t is expected that the
lenses, which were made in France at a cost
of $4,000. will be here early in November,
and the building will then be turned over to
the Inspectors. The lighthouse has cost
the Government $3.50, 0oJ, and is considered
the best on the Coast and one OF the best in
the world.
Martin Feeney, an iron-worker who was
employed in the construction of the house,
came TO his home in this city yesterday.
Speaking of the dangers and difficulties en-
countered by the workmen who aOored with
him, he said that at times the waves dashed
over the rock with tremendous force, and
the work OF hosting the materials used in
the building from the vessels that brought
them was accomplished with great diff
Guilty, on account OF the limited surface of
the rock and the great weight OF the stone
and iron used.
The main building, over which the .ewer
rises, is forty-fve feet high and is built of
hewn stones dOweled together, each OF them
weighing from one and hrlf to two TONS
The tower, also of hewn stone, rises sixty
nine feet above the main building and sup
ports lantern thirty feet high. The main
building contains the machinery for revolv-
ing the light, and the water tanks. The
rooms of the keeper and his assistants are
in the tower through which q spiral stair
way gives access to the light.
The erection of the building was super
Intended by Captain Ballentine. The light
will be of the flash pattern aud there will
be two log horns in the main building.

WAITING A DIVORCE.
Mrs. MaiIlard Tells the Story of
Her Love for Ingram.
1t Ali sprang From the Dropping of Pocket
Handkerchief-She Refuses to Re-
turn to Her Husband

Ever since Mrs. Emily ThOmpkins Hort
Mallard Of San Rafael elOped few months
ago with her husbands hired man, William
A. Ingram, the interest of the romance
loving section of the public has been
strongly fastened on the little log cabin in
the wilds of Humboldt County in which the
erring pair were known to be living, ''the
world forgetting. though not by the world
forgot" Conclusive proof of the latter fact
is afforded by the recent return of the Rev.
J. N. Smith, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church at Grizzly Bluff, Humboldt County,
who has succeeded in effecting a temporary
separation BIZ pointing out TO the pair that
they we're violating the State law against
adultery.
Mrs. Maillard, however, rejected all the
overtures made bv the minister looking to a
return to her husband with the assurance OF
full conformation. 1t was during this inter
view that Mrs. Mailiard confided to the
preacher the story of her love for ingram.
She stated unequivocally that she did not
love her husband and that when she saw In
gram for the first time she experienced a
strong interest in the gOOd-lOOking and
sturdy hired man She began to take walks
which threw her in his way, and although
at first he was unconscious Of the conquest
he had made an accident determined a
crisis in an instant. Mrs Maillard dropped
Il handkerchief; both stopped to pick it up 4;
| once glance sufficed; the next moment she
was folded INCREASINGLY in Ingram's arms.
Ingram urged her to go with him to San
Jose, where his sisters were employed as
school teachers, but Mrs. Maillard insisted
on longer flight
Mrs. Mailard instructed the preacher to
visit her husband aud state that she would
separate from Ingram temporarily on con-
ditOn of receiving $1,000, which she had
given her husband out OF her separate es-
tate.
The pictures of Mrs. Maillard's children
| are hanging in the little cabin. but she de-
clares her resolution never to leave Ingram,
as the only happy days of her life have been
those sDenL nv his side

BOARD OF HEALTH.
The Polytechnic to Have Ward in the
County Hospital.

The Polytechnic to Have a Ward in the
County Hospital.
At last nights meeting of the Board of
Health the use of one ward in the County
Hospital was granted TO The San Francisco
Polyclinic for the treatment Of lis sick poor
who are unable to pay for attention. The
expense incurred Is to be borne by the
Polyclinic 1t is likely that there will be
from twenty to thirty inmates. These are
the victims of disease who have no place to
stay during critical times, that is, while un-
rgoing,surgical operations and treatment
Dr. Healy, Superintendent OF the County
Hospital, stated TO the board by commnn-
cation that the Out-patient department had
grown to very large proportions; IN fact,
tile gratuitlus prescriptions OF 1o9O-9l
amounted to over 5000. He recommended
Tat, inasmuch as the majority of patients
are able TO pay small sums for medicine,
the department be established on a
paying basis and placed in the hands of
number of clinicians, surgical, medical, eye,
ear, throat diseases of children, etc, giving
TO each del a~iment certain number OF
hours per week.
The board thought the matter Of too much
Importance 10 be passed on hastily, SO laid it
over one month.
DR.. lie Tourneux proposed a resolution
that the gathering and removal of garbage
all over the city lie restricted TO the hours
between o'clock in the morning and 6 in
the evening.
The board Seemed to think that q matter
the Supervisors should act upon and refused
to approve it.
A house-to- house inspection Of Chinatown
was proposed by DR.. LIE Tourneux and ap-
proved.
A complaint was made against Hogan &
Burns tannery on Dolores street, between
Twenty ninth and Thlrtieth, which will be
inquired into by the board before the next

DROWNING AT SEA.
TempestuOus Voyage of the Brit
ish Bark Don.

The British bark Don arrived yesterday
after long passage of 40 days from New
castle, England, caused by unusually bad
weather ON both sides of Cape Horn. Sew
eral stiff blows were experienced before
clearing the English coast and while work
ing down to the Horn. Off the River Platte
the bark was caught in heavy gale, and
for seven days the vessel was hove TO under
her lower main-topsail, and the terrible seas
constantly swept her decks.
No serious damage was done, however.
until the vessel was off the pitch of the
Horn. From that time on the Don expert
enced nothing but heavy gales for fully
seven weeks, and during all that time was
forced to lay to. The upper tOpsails were
not set for two months, and most of the
time the crew could only move about the
decks with the greatest difficulty.
The bark's decks were frequently flooded
with water, and both cabins and fore
castle were filed nearly every day until no
one on board had single article of dry
clothing left. For days at time no fire
could be lit in the galley, as the sea would
put it out as soon as lit, and all hands had
to content themselves with hard tack and
water.
The gale that prevailed on July 18th was
almost OF hurricane force and half the time
the bark was on her beam ends. At s
o'clock in the morning a terrific sea broke
over the after part of the vessel, tearing
away the weather rail and several heavy
iron stanchions. smashing the cabin sky
light and filling the cabins with water. The
vast body of water swept over the ship
from one end to the other. and for time
most of the crew thought she would go to
the bottom.
William Miller, the ships carpenter, was
standing near the break of the poop when
the sea struck the vessel, and before he
could secure hold on any of the rigging
he was swept forward to the main rigging
and carried over the vessels side. A cry
could be done to assist him, as no boat
could live for an instant in the fearful sea-
AS quickly as possible life-buOy was
made fast to q long line and veered astern
toward where Miller could be seen battling
for his life In the terrible sea, but no human
being could hold out long in such struggle
and before he could reach the life-buoy he
of Shields and was about 40 years old, and
his sad death cast deep gloom over the
rest of the crew.
The bad weather continued with little
variation, ana it seemed to the storm-tOSSed
crew that the bark would never reach San
Francisco. but after a steady blow for nearly
two months the gale broke, and from there
to the coast of California no very bad
weather was experienced Nearly all the
crew have cuts or bruises to show received
in their long spell of bad weather, and all
hands were very glad when the word was
given to get up the towing hawser.
At that time the vessel was fully fifty
miles outside the FaTallones and she was
taken in tow by the tug Reliance about 9
o'clock on Wednesday morning and reached
her anchorage after tow of about seven
