PITCHER HOFFMAN.
He Signs Contract With the San
Francisco Club.

11O SIsAS q contract HIIn Iu6 Sttu
Francisco Club.
Manager Harris has signed his first
player for the San Francisco team for
1892, remarks last evenings San Fran
cisco Post. Harris has been quietly talk
ing of sensation that he would spring
this week, and the cranks will undoubt-
edly be surprised when they read that
the new Frisco pitcher is Frank Hoff-
man.
The deal between the ex-Sacramento
pitcher and the local manager had been
hanging fire for some time, and the men
were unable to satisfactorily end the ne
gotlat1ons owing to a dispute on salary
matters. Terms were at last agreed upon,
and Hoffman has now signed contract
to pitch for the local club for next season.
That Hoffman is one of the best pitch
ers ln the State was demonstrated in the
closing games of the late California
League season, when he repeatedly shut
out the San Jose club without run.
Hoffman's work in the box has always
been of very steady character, and if
accorded good support he should win
more than half of his games for the home
club.
Hoffman came to California about three
years ago with great reputation that he
had acquired in the South, but he never
distinguished himself until the end of
the recent season. He was considered
good for only one game each week, and
before the series of 1890 began Manager
McCloskey signed Hoffman with some
misgiyings. McCloskey said the pitcher
would be good man to fill in. Hoffman,
however, has shown that he is capable of
pitching splendid ball, and Manager Har-
ris believes with good reason that the
Frisco team has secured prize.

COFFMAN IN TROUBLE.
He Must Support His Children or Go
to the County Jail.
The Sequel Of an Unsuccessful Divorce
Case-Coffman Says He's the
Third Victim.

Franklin II. Coffman was hauled up
before Superior Judge Van Fleet yester-
day on an order to show cause why he
should not be punished for contempt.
Coffman's wife sued him for divorce
some time ago, alleging cruelty and other
infractions of marital rules and regula-
lions. He opposed the divorce with
cross-complaint, and after lengthy trial,
characterized by bitterness on both sides,
Judge Van Fleet declined to separate the
couple. An order was made, however,
giving the custody Of the children to the
wife, and commanding Coffman to pay
over stipulated sum for the support OF
the children.
DID NOT HITCH.
After the litigation Coffman and his wife
were bitter as ever toward each other, and
each refused to live with the other. Coff-
man thought he could further discomfit
his wife by refusing to pay the money
ordered by the court for the maintenance
Of the children. He evidently over
looked the fact that he was "monkeying
with a buZz-saw'' that hit back.
In due time Coffman's neglect was re-
ported to Judge Van Fleet, hence the cita-
lion which caused COffman's appearance
n court yesterday.
The derelict husband took the witness
stand to explain. He said he had no
money, was In debt to his attorneys, and
it would be some time before he could
save enough out of his limited salary to
''GET ON HIS FEET'
Financially. Coffman then devoted some
remarks for the benefit of his wife. He
complained that she was trying to ruin
aim, and that he was the third man she
had prosecuted.
Judge Van Fleet interrupted Coffman,
and said he did not desire to hear any
such talk. He said he was of the opinion
that about all that worried Coffman was
The fear that his wife might be benefited
personally by the money. AS far as that
vent, said the Judge, no particular in
justice would be done even if Mrs. Coff-
man did get some of the money.
In conclusion, the court ordered that
Cohman be confined in the County Jail
until the money due is paid. Later on,
however, the Judge changed his mind
and gave Coffman a five-days' respite in
which to pay up, at the expiration of
which time Of the money is not paid
ne must go to jail.

Proposed Reporters, union.

A number oflocal newspaper reporters
met at Federation Hall last evening for
the purpose of discussing the advisa-
bility oforganizing union. A temporary
organization twas effected, after which J.

graphical Union, addressed the meeting.
He outlined method of procedure, how
application should be made for charter

views on the proposition, all of them
favoring the formation of union. As

Contributions Coming Inc. Tietjeu's
Generous Act.
The appeal on behalf of the poor is
bearing good fruit, the following dona-
lions having been received yesterday by
The Howards: Mrs. Duden, 1923 L street,
clothing; Mrs. Joseph, 112O Eighth street,
clothing; Mrs. Redington, 1926 II street,
various articles; Mrs. L. G. Shepherd,

ing and blankets; unknown lady, bundle
of bedclothing; DR.. Clayton, clothing; F.
L. Forbes, bedstead and mattress; Mr.
Bonte, clothing.
In addition to these contributions many
citizens and families, who do not care to
have their names published, have sent
packages of articles to the HoWards to be
distributed among the poor.
So, also, in the case of the orphans
contributions of money, clothing. toys,
etc, are being sent direct to the asylum
by people who prefer to give their mite
without ostentation or desire for public
credit. Hence there is more real charity
being bestowed than the published state
lnents in the newspapers would indicate.
This is fortunate alike for the poor and
the orphans.
G. Tietjen, an employe of the Buffalo
Brewing Company, has come to the re-
lief of Mrs. Elizabeth Buck, the mother
Of a family of five children, residing at
1902 @ street, who is in destitute circum-
stances and bedridden with cancer of the
breast Mr.. Tietjen is the owner of a
line piano, which he offers at rattle for
$500 for the benefit of Mrs. Buck and her
children, knowing them to be worthy
objects of charity.
The family were deserted by the hus-
bond and father a year ago. This is one
of the cases that appeals to the heart of
every person who has thought above
his own comfort and well-being. The
$500 worth of tickets in the piano rattle
should be applied for eagerly.

Of this troupe, which is composed of such
competent people, humiliate the mem
bers OF the company by requiring the en-
tire party to march across the stage in
front of the curtain between the third and
fourth acts. The actors plainly show
their dislike to this parade. 1t reduces
them to the level of strolling mounte-
banks groyeling for the favor of the pub
lie. That actors and actresses should be
compelled to undergo such humiliation is
disgraceful. Both last night and the
night before the remarks among the peo-
pie in the auditorium were warm in pro-
test against the parade" 1t was first
seen here about year ago, when va
rlety company introduced the feature. 1t
is one that should be honored by non-ob-
servance. When next it is attempted a
