The Easter Ball.

Easter Monday night was the
scene of one of the grandest full
dress balls ever given in Oakland.
1t was an occasion that will long
live in the memories of those who
participated in the truly enjoyable
assembly.
As the great number of ladies and
gentlemen marched into the beauti-
fully decorated ball room of the
famed Glades Hotel, the scene that
met their eyes was an enchanting
one and words are too poor to con-
vey an accurate appearance of the
hall. A profusion of handsomely
festooned bunting, ffciffii cotoraHd
artis ically arranged ferns and ever
green's adorning the walls, all brill
liantly illuminated, carried one
into fairy land ''..s Y .....s
The orchestra strikes up the IAN
ciers and flashing eyes of diamond
beauty guide the tripping feet of
lady and of knight and not until
morning dawned did those engaged
in the dizzy whirl realize the lapse
of time.
When good nights were said, the
guests departed and dreamed of the
good time they had at the Easter
ball of 1899.
Our limited space will not permit
us to give description of the cos
tunes worn by the ladies, but they
were rich and elegant and exhibited
many varieties of style.
Following is list of those in
attendance:
Mrs. p. } Crogan, Mrs. j. M.
Crane, Misses Florence Vickery and

wood, W. Va, contingent of ladies;

SANDBAGGED AND ROBBED.
n belstsd Citizens Experience in tn
Mission Warm Belt.

a beisted Citizens Experience in the
Mission Warm Belt.
The tall man and the short man who be-
came famous through the boldness with
which they garroted benighted wayfarers a
few years ago have resumed their Dick
Turpin operations in the Mission.
At very early hour yesterday morning
man giving the name OF +. Oliver and his
residence as South San Francisco ap-
preached Policeman Brigartes, who was
patrolling his beat on Howard street. and
Informed him that he had been sandb Jagged
and robbed OF his valuables. The officer
accompanied Oliver to the scene Of the rob-
berry, which occurred on Twenty-second
street, near Howard, but found no trace Of
the bighwaymen. All the neigh boring sa-
looms and grocery-stores In the vicinity
were thoroughly searched, but without sue
cess, and The thieves made good their escape
with their booty.
When relating the story OF the robbery
Oliver stated that while walking I'D TWen
ty-secOnd street he noticed that he was be-
Ing followed by some one, while on the
slightly ahead of him. When the corner of
Howard was passed he received a sudden
blow on the back of the head from behind
and fell to the sidewalk badly dazed. The
thieves were evidently old hands at the
business and took the time TO remove q
heavy gold ring from his finger besides
taking his money.
Oliver did not know the exact amount he
had with him at this time III his story is
true the robbery was committed within a
few yards Of Henry Kemme's grocery-store
at the corner of Twenty-second and How
ard streets, which was open at the time.
Kemme stated TO reporter that he heard
no noise whatever, and that the first he
knew of the garroting was when the officer
searched his place for the thieves.
The policemen say that Oliver seemed to
be drunk, although he may have acted so
from the effects Of the blow he received on
The head.

BE was a stranger and Phil Crimmins
took him in. That Is, Phil thought lie took
him in. but now Phillip mourns the loss Of
$46O in gold coin of the realm, and for his
morning exercise goes out and kicks him
self around his own back yard
Being in politics with Mr.. Kelly, etc,

old enough to vote, and with money. Is well
come to I6 Third street. aud PHI sees TO 1t
that the steam beer is drawn sharp and the
free lunch is unhampered for the customer.
In fact Phil is said to be on the lookout
for ''likely" strangers, and even If they
haven't bit he treats them we'll and tells
them to keep away from the colonel"
The other day a well-dressed stranger
drifted info Phil's place and bought lass
of beer. He oafed around awhile and
bought another glass OF beer, and then
Phil got to talking with him. Inc boss
found the stranger to be man oil sense ana
discretion, aud moreover he had various
and numerous twenty dollar pieces in his
pocket. PM liked the fellow. and the fellow
liked Phil. There was more beer, an invi-
tation to call again with hint that maybe
"a bright fellow could be used later on,
and the stranger went away.
He came In night after night and still

Finally. or Saturday night last, the prom
ising stranger dropped into 16 Third street
and found Phil CTmmins idle. They had
one glass Of beer, then two and finally one
more, and then began to shake dice for 81
q side.
Phil had his lucky box and in no time
was 500 ahead OF the game. Then the
stranger proposed bottle OF wine instead
Of everyday. common beer. and Phil
smiled and said certainly"
They drank the first bottle and continued
TO shake between drinks, and suddenly the
stranger suggested g second bottle of the
sparkling beverage.
Then II was that Phil realized that he
was more than $500 loser instead OF $50
winner, but the second bottle was ordered
and the game went on.
When the game closed poor Phil was out
OF pocket S46O and the stranger was still
ready for more wine and moro money.
Suddenly the great boss grasped the Dice
box with which he aud the promising"
stranger had been playing.
One glance, howl. and the boss danced
about the room tearing his hair. The
stranger had substituted smooth box for
PhiPs own pet leather cup and Phil had
never discovered it.
They do say that Crimmins kicked about
losing the money and threatened the fascin-
ating stranger with arrest and all the sub
Eequent evils that a mighty pull could
shower upon him, but the stranger only
smiled, bought another "sharp steam"
drank alone. and drifted out into the fog
and oblivion.

An Old Play Faced Up Well at

School for Scandal" Draws Another Full
House at the stockwell-" The Lost Para
disc" in Its Last Week

The dramstization of Zola's picture Of
Partisan life among the lowly. "L'Assom-
moir," under the English title Drink"
was presented TO large audience at the
Alcazar last evening. 1t Is a temperance
story, but very much more picturesque than
those that have been produced on the stage
of the United States, illustrative OF
the effects of an inordinate ap-
petite for drink among the American
pe0ple-"The Drunkard," for example,
that made aiarge share of Barnum's fortune
at the "lectuIe-room" of his museum in New
York. Z0la, from actual observation, and
Charles Reade as his adaptor, have done
better work than this in dramatic way.
Drink" is a series of sensations consecu-
tive in character from beginning to end,
the finale being the death of COupeau
from delirium tremens, which is hor-
rible enough as Mr.. Redmund rendered
it to be a sufficient lecture to the
Incorporate drinKer to arouse his
will-power of resistance and render the fan
ciful biehloride OF gold cure of Keely un-
necessary. There was much emphatic act
Ing all through the piece. We take it that
Mr.. Leo Cooper filled the first place as Gou-
get, the smith, pledger TO total abstinence
and anxious that his fellow-workmen
should follow his example. His address
to the besOtted victims of L'Ass0mmOir was
splendidly delivered and had, by the man
ner in whc he uttered II. political
as well as social bearing. Cooper seemed
to think, and properly, too, that the stage
on this occasion was pulpit, from which
he was called upon TO preach q sermon
suited 10 the times. and he acquitted himself
nObly. COupeau. as played by Mr.. Red
mund. was marked AMI distinctive all
through. Good hearted. but weak in brain,
he paid the forfeit of being unbalanced.
BE was remarkably effective in rendering
all the conditions of his role. For
