Officer James of the fact that there was a
fire of some kind there. Accordingly an
alarm was turned in from box 14S, corner
Sixteenth and Nilsson street.
There was great deal more smoke than
fire, for when the Fire Department broke
into the store it was discovered that an ex-
celsior box mattress was burning, also
some furniture close to 1t. The burning
furniture was dragged out and the little
blaze quickly extinguished. The damage
is about S125.
When the crowd gathered in front of the
place, as is usual in case of fire, an indi-
Vidual named William Culiigan, whose oc-
cnpation is that of gardener. and whose
home is on NatOma street, between Four

CHINESE ELOPERS,
Charley Fong Deserted by
His Wife.
The Runaways Were on the City of
New York, and Are in Hiding
in Chinatown.

Society circles in Chinatown are con-
siderably agitated over an elopement
which would have succeeded but for the
unfortunate wreck Of the steamship City
of New York.
Charley Fong is dentist at S13A Sacra-
mento street, and although comparatively
speaking a young man, has made what
his fellow-countrymen consider band
some fortune by attending to their
molars.
Being rich and prosperous, he took unto
himself a wife, who was acknowledged to
be one of the bellies of Chinatown. She
was young and exceedingly handsome,
and always seemed devotedly attached 10
her husband, who thought himself one Of
the luckest of his race in being blessed
with such charming heipmate.
Their married life was very happy on e
and no cloud obscured the matrimonial
horizon until quite recently. when a men,
Der of one OF the leading firms on Sacra-
mento street called at the dentists rooms
to have a tooth filed with gold.
1t took several days before the merchant
was satisfied that the operation had been
performed TO the best advantage, and after
ward he made frequent visits to the dental
rooms with one excuse and another with
out arHuslng the slightest suspicion in
Charley's mind that his handsome wife
was the magnet that drew him there.
1t was not until Thursday last that Char
ley had reason to think tnat some thing
was wrong His wife went out for an
afternoon call, and, as the hours grew on
and she failed to return. he became uneasy.
About o'clock friend called upon him
with the startling Information that his
wife had been seen on the steamship City
of New York with the merchant who had
been such regular customer recently.
Then it dawned upon his mind that his
wife mad deserted him. and his suspicious
were confirmed when, on making a hasty
examination, he found that $1,000 in gold
and silver, the savings of years. had dis
appeared from a secret drawer only known
to himself and wife.
He was frantic with rage and grief, but
when he learned some hours afterward
that the vessel had been wrecked at Point
Bonita his rage and grief gave place TO
peace and joy The news of the wreck
came to him too la:e TO enable him to IN
tercept the elOping couple before they
reached the shore with the other Chinese
passengers.
Since then he has been making every
effort to trace the location of the guilty
pair, and has at last succeeded, bur he will
not say where or who the gay Lothario is
who has stolen the affections of his wife
from him.
He says. however, that this morning he
will apply for warrants for their arrest,
and if he cannot get back his wife he will
see If he cannot, at least, get back his
$1,000.

The dispatch did not describe the form

The Chief said he did not know OF any

ROsina Vokes to Retire
Temporarily.
SHE is TOO SICK TO ACT
ExertiOn on the Baldwin Stage Was
Followed by Painting Fits Be-
hind the Scenes.

Miss Rosina Vokes, the light-hearted
and sincere actress, left this city at an
early hour yesterday morning, carrying
with her secret unknown before the
footlights and anything but gay disposi-
tion.
For. bright and cheerful as she was on
the stage nightly. when she danced and
acted for the public. Miss Vokes felt how
different everything Is behind the scenes
1t was given out that she was ill-nOthing
more-and people gave the rumOr no
thought, because the charming actress
amused them with her art and appeared
as gay as ever.
Miss Vokes received every applause
with grateful smiles and bowed her ac-
acknowledgements to the audiences. Some
times she danced again to satisfy people
who admired her clever acting and hen
pass from the gIittering stage iD blaze OF
light (calcium). while applause rang
through the tbeater Sometimes the play
went on without her reappearance.
Behind the scenes quite different
drama was acted, not comedy nor melo-
drama, but the grim realism of life, shorn
OF musical or theatrical effects.
For some time past Miss Vokes
has been suffering from the effects of
severe mental and physical strain,
which the duties OF her profession
entail. On coming to San Francisco
1t was only too apparent that she had
failed physically and that instead Of con-
tinuing the STRAIN she should be resting far
away from theaters and cities. She COM
planned of feeling i'll and sought phys-
clans advice and help. The answer given
by the doctor was she should retire from
the stage lem porarlly for rest. Still the
Baldwin Theater had completed all ar
rangemen;s for her visit aud rather than
disappoint her managers or the people
the plucky actress decided to finish her
engagement. In her acting critics might
have noticed O suggestion OF ennui, or
lack luster, to balance which Miss Vokes
struggled hard. although she sang and
danced like her old self.
But the effort was too great in her
weakened condition to pass without its
effect. The hard work on the stage was
often succeeded by depression and ex-
haustion, and night after night Miss
Vokes left the glory and footlights behind
TO fall senseless in the wings.
The fainting spells of the actress
Immediately after her exertlon became
alarming. for they came nightly. and
toward tie end they assumed menacing
turn. And yet the play went on while

nervous prostration, the result OF too
much work and study. She tainted S"

could not live through her engagement"
AT the Palace Hotel, where Miss Vokes
stayed, her severe illness was subject
for occasional conversation. She left
without saying what her destination
would be. but at the hour OF her departure
the Atlantic express went eastward.
