Mary Wilson Falls Asleep In a Vault and
Is Locked Up.
Mary Wi lson, who has encountered MANY
cross roads during the 80 lurid years of her
existence, had startling experience yester-
day afternoon. She was webbing along
Sansome street at 4 O'clock with a tired
feeling in her lower limbs, an enthusiastic
desire for alcoholic beverages in her bosom,
and an empty tin can in her red right hand.
At No. no she found an open door that
led to the wine and liquor cellar of Berges
81 DOmeDic0ni In the dim twilight of the
place she dscerned long avenues Of barrels
aud casks. Casting ceremony to the winds,
she wendell her way within and flung her
whlsky-woTn frame down behind row of
barrels.
The proprietOrs, who had not seen Mary
enter, closed and locked the iron doors of
the cellar and went home. Maryfslept for
an hour and awoke to find herself In a realm
OF darkness aud an atmosphere impregnated
with alcoholic fumes. The tin can was by
II beneath the splgot of a barrel that con-
tanned whisky valued at S12 a gallon. she
filled the vessel, and with il clutched firmly
Ia her hand mounted TO the top OF the bar
rel and there drank deep, soul-soothng
draughts of the exhilaratng contents.
How long Mary sat upon the barrel. or
how much of the delicious liquor passed
into her department Of the interior size does
not know, but She finally became frightened
and let loose an uuearthly scream that
tingled the ears Of Officer Rourke as he was
passing along the street. He procured a
key from lOcksmith on Washington street
and entered the cellar, where he found
Mary sitting, can in hand on the barrel of
choice whisky, He speedily transferred
her from the cellar TO cell in the City
Prison, where. notwithstanding her remark

and shyness Of the yellow man their efforts
are we'll nigh useless.
"Bnt we caught them on the hip last

you see what troubles Us most is the ma
ture Of the evidence we must have before
we can convict them. Any one can go to
the fishing camps all around the bay aud
there see tons OF small fish drying on the
beach. But the courts have decided tuat
under the law we must prove that these fsh
were caught in this State before there can
be conviction.
Judge Murphy has so decided and the
police courts are ruled by his precedent
Now, it is very rare that the evidence re-
CURED can be procured.
The same is true with reference to the
sale of these small dried fish. Several
times we have arrested Chinese who offered
these goods for sale in Chinatown, but in
each instance failed to convict because we
could not prove what every one knew was
the truth that the fish were caught In this

STOCKWELL'S THEATER.
The Pretty Thespian Temple to Be Dedi
Gated Next Week.

Inc HrettY Inespian Temple to BE nedt-
Gated Next Week.
What was known a couple of years ago,
during brief and ll-starred theatrical sea-
son, as the POweli-street Theater will be re-
opened next week by i. r. Stockwell, the
popular actor and manager. who has re-
named the establishment after himself.
Upon assuming the responsibilities Of
lessee of the building several months ago.
Mr., StOckwell not content with merely re-
christening ii, resolved upon making 1t one
of the most attractive and comfortable
houses OF amusement In the city as we'll as
the most central, and with that end in view
he put an army OF artists and artisans to
work in rearranging the interior.
The work of reconstruction was COM
pleted last week, and now the finishing
touches are being put upon the work by the
uphOlsterers and frescOers.
Last night the handsome auditorium was
lighted up for press inspection, and even
in It's incompleted state gave such evidence
OF comfort and nice arrangement as 10 win
general approval.
Entering from the street through broad
and well-lighted vestibule, one leaves the
b0x-Ofice on the right aud passes into de-
lightiul little foyer, where a cosy CRATE and
mantel tlIl one corner, full-length p0r-
trait OF Ada Rehan another, and a valuable
collection Of statuary aud bric-S- brac, which
commands instant attention, is displayed on
all sides.
Two broad alsles lead from here to the
stage, turning ones back to which one gets
the first glimpse of an ideal auditorium.
The main floor is broken by s row Of lOge
boxes. which forms the dividing line of the
orchestra and dress circle. Above the latter
is the balcony, and a story higher the gallery
Of the gods. There are six prOscenium
boxes on either side Of the stage. but there
ara no meZZauiUe boxes.
The theater is Illuminated with $50 incan-
descent lights, which gem the proscenium-
arch and ceiling, and glow in the ratings
Of the balcony and gallery, their brilliancy
being reflected by the ivory and gold OF the
mural decorations For emergencies a large
gasaer is provided In the center OF the
house, with electric attachments, so that in
case OF accident to the batteries the place
can be lighted in an instant with gas.
1heateT-goers will rejoice over one great
Improvement introduced by Mr.. StOckwell,
who in providing rO0my chairs aud plenty
Of SPACE between the rows has certainly
shown unusual consideration for the COM
fort of his patrons. The balcony and even
The gallery are similarly provided for in this
respect. Wide and numerous exits are
arranged from all parts OF the house. which
Is now one Of the safest, best lighted, most
comfortable and best arranged theateTs in
the country.

NO FISH AT HARBoR VIEW.

The Chinese Cleaned Them All Out sew
ersI Years Ago.
Once Harbor View was the favOrite
spawning ground for shTimTs and many
varieties of fish. Now the waters there are
barren Of all fish.
The Chinese with their stationary nets
and reckless fishing methods have COM
pletely devastated one of the best spawning
grounds in the bay.
Once the Italian, Greek and Spanish fish
ermen operated at HarbOr View They de-
pended on muscle for their catch. They
lowered their nets and pulled by main force
against the tide, their nets rot remaining in
the water longer than 10 or 10 minutes at a
time.
In those days the shrImps were caught by
Caucasian fishermen, and woe betide them
should they not return TO the water alive all
the small fish that chance drove into their
seine
Their own comrades were their stric'est
censors, and in those days Caucasian fisher
men who cast their nets for sbTlmps caught
shTimDS and shrimpS alone.
The succuent little moTsel sold for
cents pound then, as they do now, and
great many white men made good lIvlngS
aud supported their families in comfort, If
not In luxury, from the proceeds OF the
shrimp industry.

In those days the market was well sup
piled with shTmps. and though none were
shipped eli % HOng-kong that fact did not
trouble the average San Franciscan.
Then came the Chinese. with their nom
desCTpt Juuks and stationary traps. In less
than year after they began operations at
HaTbOr View there was not q shrimp left
within 10 miles Of Fort Point, and one Of
the best breeding grounds for smelts was
completely devastated.
The yellow men drove long poles into the
mud, and between two poles stretched nets
which remained in the water perpetually.
Instead Of muscle they employed rope and
pulley 60 draw n their traps, and each trap
remained IN the water for stretch OF SIX
hours at a time.
They caugh. shrimnS and everything else
that swan with tie tide, and did more dam
age 10 the fishing industry Of this city IN a
single month than tie seals AZ the CHh
House have done since tie beginning OF
time.
The Chinese flooded the market with
shrimps until they became as plentiful On
the hshstalls as flies in swimmer time.
They lowered the price Of shImps 10 2
cents a pound, and this drove even the
thrifty Italian fishermen from The busl-
ness.
The Chinese kept On catching shrimps by

whole business 10 themselves and the eau
casan shrimp-fishers gave up in disgust,
many Of them in DIRE want for the uecessi-
ties Of life.
When the white man had been driven from
the field completely, the Chinese companies
formed a trust and put the price OF shrimps
back to tue old rate OF cents and cents a
pound.
So IN the end the consumer was not bene-
fted by the Chinese AMI many worthy
white men were driven to want and misery
But the Chinese are not satisfied with
catching shrmps alone. They snare every

1t Has Sold Its Furniture and Arranged

The directors Of the California Club met
last night and perfected satisfactory ar
rangements with the representatives of Nc
Aullffe and Goddard. In case of a cliuch it
was decided that the man with the free use
Of his hards can puneh at his opponent "if
held by the enemy" and in breaking away
each man must look out for his own inter-
est. In case of a kn0ckdown the man who
is on his feet must retire a few PAGES to
give his opponent a favorable opportunity
to regain his pins.
McAuliffe will have as his seconds Alex
ander Greggains, Martin Murphy and Frank
McAuiffe. Goddard will be esquiTed by
Herbert Goddard, Henry Gallagher and j.
l.. Lafferty. The club Will appoint a referee
on the evening OF the contest. McAuliffe
will position himself In the northeast corner
of the ring and his bury opponent will be
seated Immediately opposite.
The clubs furniture OF the old rooms on
New Montgomery street was sold yesterday
and brought about $1,000. The principal
purchasers were the Reliance and Acme
athletic clubs Of Oakland.
1t was decided at the meeting that no re-
turn checks will be given tomorrow night
to members and the coupons will not be
accepted by the dOorkeeper, consequently
it will be to the members interest to remain
within the building until the contest is
fin isled
