A TEMPERANCE CANTATA.
Acted by the Christian Band of Hope
Union.

temperance cantata, entitled "The
Blacksmith's Children" was given last
night by the Christian Band of Hope Union
at the Mzpah Christian Mission on Second
street, near Bryant
The cantata was excellentiy rendered by
a company of the bands members, all of
whom are also members of the Mizpah Sab
bath-schooi. 1t started with a representa-
ton of a drunkard's home on the day be-
fore Thanksgiving. This scene introduced
the drunken blacksmith's children and his
wife and the former determined 10 save
their father.
The second and third scenes were both
street scenes. very realistic, showing Bob,
the bootblack--a part which was excellently
taken by Andrew Johnston-and several
street boys and a representation of one of
the city's principal streets. On all sides
were seen signs representing The CALLS
popularity with the public and uewsboy
entered selling the paper.
The fourth scene was model Band OF
Hope in session. During that scene the
prizes were awarded to those who had
earned them during the past wear. One
young lady, Miss May Watson, received
four prizes. The fifth was a parlor scene

Louise Harris.
The scene opened with serenade by the
street children and their invitation in to the
parlor by the hostess Louise Harris, who
then sang welcome song In very credit

FACT OR FRAUD.
A Russian Hypnotist in the
City Prison.
ACCUSED Of CRIMINAL LIBEL.
Charles Arnold Pretends to Give the
History of Hypnotic Mystery, but
Objects to Being Advertised.

81 never wore the striped clothes OF a
convict. and l was never hypnotized, and
don't propose to DO advertised as saved
from a felon's cell to help DIR. Grigoro-
wtsche or any other fraud" said Charles
Arnold, young man whom Lawrence KIP,
the well-kn0wn attorney. was trying 10
control as he pranced around the corridors
of the old City Hall yesterday morning.
Attorney Kip was waiting to secure a
warrant for the arrest of the much adVer-
tised Russian hypnotist, DIR. Grlgoro-
witsche, on the ground of criminal libel,
the complaining witness being young Ar
mold.
The basis of the complaint is photo
graph which has appeared in many OF the
store windows on the principal thorough
fares of this city.
The photograph represents young Arnold
dressed in prison garb keeling at the feet Of
the Russian, and the legend below the
picture goes on to tell how GrigOr0wltsche
hypnotized the young man and saved him
from feon's cell. There are two sides to
the story, and at the present writing both
tales are plausible.
Grigoro witsche came to San Francisco
about two years ago, from where no one but
himself knows. He made numerous unsuc-
cessful attempts to gain fame and fortune
by cultivating the Acquaintance OF the mem
beers of the Russian colony, and finally, one
night Just after DR.. Brown of this city had
made some wonderful tests of hypnotic
force, his Russian rival gave private ex
hibiti0n of his powers to select cOterle OIL

Hints About Ventilation.


The proper arrangement of draughts for
the ventilation of sleeping-rooms has per-
picked all. One thing. however, is certain.
1t has been proved by actual experiment
that a layer of air lies against the walls
which is subject to very little movement.
even when there is a strong circulation in
the middle of the room. 1t is therefore i'm
portant that bed should not be placed close
to the wall. If kept there during the day-
time it should be moved at least several
inches out into the room at night. Alcoyes
and curtains should be avoided In an al
cove inclosed on three side a lake of air
forms, VIII ich may be compared to the stag
nant pools often observed along the margins
of rivers. a few yards away a rushing tide
may De moving swiftly along, but these
placid pools are unruffled by The current.
While placing the bed, especially the
head of it, where It will be shielded from
the strongest draught, there should still he
enough motion to the air in that vicinity to
insure fresh supplies constantly Throughout
the night. The prevailing lack of appetite
Tor breakfast, as we'll as many cases Of
an8mia and worse diseases, are due To the
breathing over and over again of the same
air in restricted bedrooms, where beds are
too often placed in alcoves or are Shaded
by curtains, which are too seldom shaken
out in the fresh air.

PURE GOD LIVER OIL
WITH PHoSPHATES.

Cures coughs. colds, asthma, bronchitis and
all scrofulous humors. The great popularity
of "Wilbor" Compound of Cod-Liver Oil
and Phosphates has induced some unpriu-

simple article of their own manufactures:
but any person who is suffering from
coughs, colds or consumption should be
careful where they purchase this article.
The results Of its use are its best recon-
mendations: and the proprietor has ample
evidence on file of its great success in pull
monary complaints. The Phosphates pos

combined with the pure Cod-Liyer Oil by
DIR. Wilbor. 1t is regularly prescribed By

WHO'LL BUY SOAP :?
A Novel Method to Lift a
Debt.
The Callustro Company Induces Its
Stockholders to Buy Its Prod
ucts to Raise Money.

The Callustro Company is in little diff
fculty financially, and to devise some
means to get or solid footing was the
object of a meeting of the stockholders, who
are all ladies, at he Palace Hotel yesterday
afternoon.
The company has a debt OF S31, 900, but
all that is bothering them at present is a
mortgage of S5000 which is due on the nth
OF the month Not nickel is in the treasury
to meet this emergency. and how to raise
the money is the question.
Mrs. Clara Foltz, the lawyer of the COM
pany, explained that a "man." who was a
capitalist, made them a proposition W hich
she wanted the Indies TO consider. The
man had promised to lend the company the
necessary 5000 in consideration that he
should get ~. 600 of the shares, and that the
company should issue bonds to the extent of
$4,000. which he would be responsible for
the sale OF.
Mrs. Foltz thought that the "man's"
proposition was a good one and she had
secured his agreement in writing, so he
could not back out, but The stockholders
could accept 1t or not at their will.
The lawyer proposed that the ladies them
selves should raise the necessary money in
some way. II it could not be borrowed
from any of the stockholders. the stock
holders could at any rate be induced 10 buy
the soap and other products of the company
until the necessary sum was realized. The
ladies were asked TO buy all they could and
induce their friends TO invest in soap
AT this Juncture a mesSenger-boy arrived
from wholesale house with an order for
FIVE cases of soap, and that was used to in
duce the ladies present to buy. Several of
them paid their money for a case each, and
about half dozen more boxes were sold.
Several OF the ladies who thought they
would be Obliged to lay in supply of soap
which they had no occasion to use or PROB
ably did not require left the room before
they were asked 10 invest.
When it was found that the $4,000 was a
long way off after the ladies had loaded
themselves up with the wonderful cleans
ing agent the mans" proposition was taken
into consideration as the only chance OF sal
walton.
Some of the ladies asked what it meant to
Issue bonds, and thenit was explained by
gentleman who was present that the
$500 bonds would, after all commissions
were paid, realize them about S45, 600, with
which they could wipe off all indie bted-
ness and still have some capital left
10 work on, but they would then be $50. 600
In debt, which the stockholders would be
responsible for when the bonds expired
Some OF the ladies then wanted to know
il when the bonds became due the estate of
the corporation could not meet them would
the ladies, individually, who held stock, be
responsible.
When it was explained that they would
the proposition of the man" did not seem
so good and several of the ladies objected
quickly to any BONDS being issued, and as
there did not seem TO be any clear idea of
what course to pursue the meeting was de-
clared adjourned

had not as numerous an attendance as there
ought to have been last evening, when Mr..
Alfred Wikie gave the first of his second
series of ballad concerts. Those present
were mostly lady residents Of the hotel.
The programme, however ought to have
had larger hearing. as the selections were
good and the rendering 10 nearly every IN
stance quite up to the standard of good
music. Fault may be justly found with
the accompanlst, Mr.. X. Fletcher Tilton,
who, probably from over zeal, plays
too loud. This was noticeable in the ac-
compartment to Miss Anna Miller Woods

NO WHEELS IN TANGIEP.
Not Even a Donkey Cart in the North
African City.

Among the strangest pecularties of Tan
gier, and one that at once forces Itself upon
the attention of the newcomer, is the total
absence of any kind of wheeled vehicle. In
the entire city (Which is an example of all
the others in the empire) there is not even
donkey cart, for the streets are much too

and distance. There are but few streets in
to which a loaded camel could enter. and
not more than three In which he could pass
another loaded camel or horse Some of
the smaller streets are so narrow that even
the panniers of donkey would serape upon
either side, so that in the city itself The
transportation devolves upon donkeys for
the side streets, and upon horses and mules
for the main thnrnnghfares

NO LONGER ANGRY.
Lucky Baldwin Reinstated His Nephew
George as Clerk.


The patrons OF the Baldwin Hotel were
treated to an agreeable surprise yesterday
when they found George Baldwin, the
nephew of E. j. ("Lucky") Baldwin, again
behind the counter in the office as a clerk.
George, it will be remembered, held a
similar position some months ago, when he
offended his uncle by clandestinely marry
ing Anita, his handsome cousin on a
tugboat.
E. j. Baldwin, Anita's father, was very
angry over the occurrence. and the young
peOi lie had to go without his blessing on
their union quite while.
Time, however, seems to have sOftened the
irate parents heart, and he evidently could
not maintain a hostile attitude toward
George and Anita. both of whom always
were his fayorites before their marriage.
Now the Ratchet Is buried, and George
being once more back in his old place in
the hotel is evidence that he also is recon-
cled with his uncle.
The guests around the Baldwin are glad
of this, because they all like George Bald
win very much.
