REWARD OFFERED.
Chinese Societies Will Assist the
Police,

Murder Is az last abhorred so sincerely ap-
parently in the Chinese quarter that the Six
Companies, benevolent societies and family
interested make an effort 10 bring the murderer
to justice.
This was made evident yesterday morning by
large red posters covered with Chinese char
aciers and pasted at the corners OF Washington
aud Dupont jackson ana Dupont, and Sacra-
mento and Dupont streets, wilsre Chinese look
daily for important announcements, official
theatrical, private ana otherwise. The posters
contained promises OF a reward of S140U for
Information leading to the arrest and conviction
of the murderer of Fung Sing Suey, the Chinese
doctor who was Stabbed 10 death al S351s Du-
poDt street on December z.
The All Fung family. TO which the deceased
belonged, gives $500 the Suey Hing Company
one OF the Chinese SIX Companies S40O and the
Chinese BenevOen Society, which comprises
the Six Companies, 5000. The st.named sub
scriDers guarantee payment of the whole snm
TO whoever informs on the murderer. For con-
viction in the first degree 5000 is guaranteed
IN the second degree S400.
A cousin OF the murdered doctor called az
the Morgue yesterday. He is Jung Jung, a
clsarmaker at111O Stockton street. His story
was heard by DIR. Hughes with considerable in
tereSt.
DIR. Suey, so he said, had trouble with conn.
tryman named Leong Wich Qui some months
ago. They used 10 smoke opium together and
were friends but after this trouble they were
friends no longer. Now, according 10 Jung, the
physician had most wonderful opium pipe
which possessed almost a magic power. Be
cause OF It's extraordinary qualities it was
valued al $1,000.
III you had a pain in your stomach" ex-
planned Jung, rubbing his coat over he seat Of
digestion and assuming an expression of can
dor that dispelled all doubts about the pipes
efficacy, "if you had pain two puffs out of
that pipe would cure you. Pain all gone. No
come back. Two smokes ana it cure sure. IL
was very valuable pipe. ancient aud precious
woUd gold bowl and rim. My cousin covered
Ii win black cloth 10 preserve the outside"
Jung Delleyes that the murder was PROMPTED
by a desire OF some Chinese to get possession
of the wonderful plpe His theory Is favOrabiy
regarded by the detectives, as the pipe was
stolen.
The rewards so far have given no clew 10 the
identity of the murderer.

"Sinbad" Is running TO tremendously
large houses at the Grand. II promises TO
be an immense success all through the
season. The scenery, costumes, music,
incidental comedy and specislties are en-
tirely new. The plot of the extravaganza,
if plot it may be called. does not cling
very closely to the tale told on that far
away Arabian night by the charming
Scheherezade. Mr.. Henderson, manager
of the Chicago Opera-house. is fin de
steele. His methods are up to dete-per-
haps just trfle ahead of date-and while
many Of the adventures of the hero of the
rOmanclng princess are utilized for the
extravaganza Mr.. Henderson's "Sinbad"
is emphatcally creature of the nine
teenth century. EXtravaganza-a style Of
entertainment whose introduction into
this country is due to his foresight and
bold pOlicy-is nothing more nor less than
English pantOmme Americanzed; and its
American progenitor takes the same
liberty with tradition, fable and legend
as do the authors of those gorgeous
but stupid spectacles which have been
associated for fifty years with the historic
English playhouse in Drury lane. But

THE RACE TRACK.
Arrival of Phil Dwyer, the
Turf Magnate.
He Favors the Single Judge System.
The Entries for To.Day's
Events.

Phil Dwyer, the central figure OF Eastern rae
ing circles since the death OF d. D. Wthers. is
in California, not for the first time In his life,
but after an absence OF thirty years. for 1t was
in the sixties that he was I'm the butcher busi-
ness on First street in this city, and it is with
feelings OF honest pride that the wealthy tnrf
magnate looks back upon those days of early
struggles.
MIR. Dwyer Is here to join his son, who, trav-
cling for his health, which has lately been very
poor, is at present In Southern California. The
hoped that Mr.. Dwyer would have been able TO
act with Colonel Chnn. James Rowe and their
associates on the board OF stewards, but
as his stay here Is, so far as now de-
cided, merely temporary, Mr.. Dwyer
scarcely feels justified ia accepting the
position, though he may be induced TO re-
consider his determination on his return here
from Los Angeles, where he will be in the
course of the next few days. His presence on
the board of stewards would naturally lend
additional weight 20 the result OF Its delibera-
tioDs. from his individual prominence in the
racing world, but even II he should remain
among us for any length OF time. MIR. Dwyer
says he must first have some opportunity af-
fordrd him Of becoming acquainted with the
chief factors in the business, on matters IN con-
necrion with which he would be called to rem
der an opinion, before he could consent 10 act
In other words, he wants TO have time TO es.
tmate with fair accuracy the form OF the horses
engaged.
In course of conversation with a representa-
tive OF THE CALL Mr.. Dwyer expressed him
self In favor OF the single judge system in vogue
not only In England and In Australia, but also
on some OF the tracks in the East.
The subject was touched upon In an inquiry
OF him as to whether j. j. Burke was TO be
presiding judge on all tracks under the 1urls-
dctiOn OF the board of control. Mr.. Dwyer, in
answering in the negative, and referring TO the
entire satisfaction that tue present presiding
official, Colonel Slmmonds, had gwen. inciden
tally mentioned Mr.. BurlIes success his
Capacity as unassisted judge for so many sea-
sons al different race meetings at none of

decisions being called into question: tribute

know the gentleman can well appreciate.

The new American drama, Admitted
TO the Bar" by Messrs. Doblen and Klein,
was presented to quite large attendance
at the New California, and great deal OF
interes: was manifested in the perform
auce. 1t may be that the interest thus
shown arose from the fact that the busl-
ness of the play is based on the operation
OF the peculiar laws Of inheritance in this
State, as a number of cases coming IN their
puTviPw have recently engaged the atten-
ton of the courts ana the public. 1t was
noticed that a great many well-m atured
and misunderstanding women were in the
auditorium, aud more particularly in the
boxes, who gava undivided attention to
what was going on before the fOotlights,
and had ne time to listen to the ncon Sc
quential chatter of their escorts. They
were evidently bent On getting points from
Doblen and Klein's work, and, IL they sue
ceeded. must have been sharper than the
average of their sex. As for the play it ia
not at all badly constructed one, consid.
ering the meager material, dramatically.
that the authors have had to draw from.
The text is crisp, and many OF the situa-
tions easy and natural. There have been
many, very many, worse plays written

the American extravaganza is great adj
vance upon its English prototype. Ameri-
can audiences would not accept English
pantomime al any price. They would not
tolerate the slow action aud dull comedy
which are congenial to John Bull. In a
Drury-lane production, for instance, there
is no division into acts-the curtain does
not fall until the end of the exhibition. A
brace of low comedians usually occupy
an hour or more of the time of per-
formance in trivial and pointless patter
about "druDks, pOlice-court fines, sQuab-
bles with the "missus" Or-that corner
stone of English comedy-beating the
landlord out of rent The hero
and the heroine are ordinarily pair of
uninterestlng idiots surrounded by a group
OF idiots only less interesting than them
selves. Everything depends upon legs.
In American extravaganza legs are fac
tor, but heads lead off Brains play the
leading role. The action is lively, the
music is catching. the effect is vivid. The
appeal is made primarily to the mind and
not to the appetite. 1t is Just the differ
ence between a comedy and circus.
English pan tomime is a circus. and not a
specially good one at that. Hhe perform
ers are usually people with the conception
and training Of clowns. 1t would be an
abuse OF language to characterize the
y pAOdt ailsu dS WUIh bl
art But "artistic" is precisely the adjec-
tive for the Hendersonian Extravaganza
The task of mounting and producing such
an extravaganza as "Sinbad" makes
a child's play by comparison of the
preparations for comedy or comic opera.
Eddie Foy, the well-known comedian of
this company, an especial fayorite with
children all over the country, has a very
amusing part in this new version of "Sin-
bad" he plays Fresco. the idle appren-
tice, who gets into all kinds of scrapes and
convuIses everybody by his odd and gro
tesQue antics. There are number of
other characters in the extravaganza
which appeal to the juvenile mind, incud-
ing a bold. bad pirate. an heroic young
adventurer. several pretty maidens, and
the eccentric Old Kan of the Sea, who has
the key to the Valley OF Diamonds.
As matinee production 'Sinbad" must
be unexcelled. The first matinee will be
given next Saturday.

MOVED HIM OUT.
A Durham Mans House Emptied by a
Deputy Sheriff.

LEWISTON, July 14.-The town of Dur
ham is all stirred up over the fact that
on Wednesday, Deputy Sheriff Cum
mings of Lewiston, in performance of
legal duty, went down there and took all
the household effects from mans house
and left them in the street.
The household effects are the property
OF Edmund Miller, who considers that
his farm is one of the finest in Durham.
Mr.. Miller believes that the assessors for
number of years back have taxed him
too much. He has refused to pay the
tax levied by the assessors and there has
been a great deal of trouble about it.
Finally the authorities advertised the
farm and sold it for the taxes, and for
some time the judgment has been in the
possession of Mrs. Cordelia Ewing, who,
being unable to secure the amount of her
claim from Mr.. Miller, decided to take
possession of his farm. Several notices
of this contemplated action have been
served on Mr.. Miller, it is said. but he
paid no attention to them, arguing that
he owed the town nothing, and they had
no right to sell his farm.
Mr.. Miller had been notified and was
present at the house when Deputy Sher-
lift Cummings arrived Wednesday. He
declined to FIX up'' matters, however,
and there was nothing for the deputy to
do but to empty the house of it's furni-
ture. Mr.. Miller stood by and saw this
done. He offered little or no objection,
but told Mr.. Cummings that they must
notify the selectmen in order that they
might take care of his furniture.
Mr.. Miller has wife and children, but
the children fare grown up and gone.
Efforts are being made to have the mat
ter adjusted, which it is claimed can be
done by the payment of about 5000 by
Mr.. Miller.
