Harvey Cassidy, Parry's first lieutenant
was busy drilling four raw recruits.
They were colored girls, disguised as
standard bearers to the Caliph.
Stage Manager Parry was busy smoothing
the ruffled feathers Of an Italian ballet
dancer, who excitedly lodged some COM
plant about her dressing-room with him.
All the hooks ana corners were full of
people. talking, laughing and putting finish
ing touches to their toilets.
1t is Willie again who put a stop to all
this trifing and reminded every BODY that
the curtain will be raised in five minutes.
Quietly and without the least confusion
the participants in the first scene took their
places and all the others disappeared in the
wings.

caused his indulgent parents a great deal
Of anxiety.
Several months ago he WAS arrested on a
charge OF stealing two gold rings from a
lady residing at the same house in which
he boarded in Golden Gate avenue.
His relatives came to his assistance and
succeeded In adjusting the case without
publicity.
Mr.. Jessup next purchased hay. grain
aud coal business at 420 McAllister street,
in which he gave his son an interest in the
hope that he would settle down. but was
compelled TO abandon the experiment.
Mr.. JeSSup then concluded to send the
lad East to continue his education and re-
move him from a number OF questionable
associates he had In this city.
He was sent 20 Schenect adv, n. Y, with

after arrested.
When seen at his residence at Baker and
Post streets last night by a CALL reporter
Mr. Jessnp appeared greatly worried at
bis hayward sons actions and the fact that
the matter had gained publicity. He says
he had done his utmost TO induce the lad
TO mend his ways, but with no success. and
looks UPON his present difficulty as DOyish
escapade from which no serious conse-
quences will result.
He intends to have the lad returned to
school.

AT least she told me so on the stage Of the
Grand Opera-house about an hour before
the curtain rose on the new spectacular
"Ali Bahia" show
Twas watching the preparations for the
first production of the extravaganza. and had
lots of fun in doing so.
What queer place the stage of big
theater at such time is to any one who is
not used to being there.
IL seems almost impossible that order
could be brought about where everything is
confusion and the handsome scenes one
sees while sitting In All easy opera-ehair in
front lock anything but attractive viewed In
sections and at close range.
And the girls look decidedly different,
too. without their spanR!es aud snowy cos
tunes.
The Ali Baba girls who entered through
the stage door ana passed me on their way
TO their dressing-rooms were just ordinary.
common. everyday women, not bit differ
eDt from those one sees every hour in the
day On Market street.
They were all young and good looking, to
be sure, but there was nothing snowy about
them, and had l seen them anywhere else
lwould never have thought that they were
stage beauties.
The most important parsonage one finds
on the stage about p. NJ Is Willie. an
authenticated youth, who acts as call boy
and as Mercury.
Eyerybod goes to see Willie first before
doing aDythipg else. because he holds big
bundle OF letters in his hands and distributes
the latest mail among the members Of the
company.
Willie had sore throat last night and
the tender solicitude with which all these
girls inquired OF him how that throat is
getting on was a sure sign to me that this
boy is great favorite.
Nearly every girl carried little bundle or
vaise. II was explained to me that this
was first night and every performer was
bringing personal belongings to be used
during the season.
The auditorium was nearly dark when /
arrived and no curtain divided IL from the
stage, but little later great big plain red
curtain WAS dropped ard l could see
through peephol that the gas men were
busy lighting up.
The people of the company were coming
In quite rapidly and / was quite amused
TO overhear the terse greetings they ex-
changed.
Hello. Bess, how is Friseo?" asked a
plump little blonde. who Willie said was
the butterfly in the play. to a stately bru-

"Ob, it's lovely when II doesn't rain."
Bess answered, and Willie told me that she
was Mss Bessie Lynch, the Abdallah.

They had several bundles which they did
not seem TO want any body to see, but the
officers concluded they would like to have
a look at the contents. They arrested the
men, and at the station it was discovered
that there was over a thousand dollars
worth OF opium in the bundles.
The men were connected in some way
with the steamer Umatilla, which had lust

got the opium. They were booked on a
charge OF having opium in their possession.
