ROBBED A DRIVER.
Bold Hold-Up on the San
Bruno Road.
Two Men Board a Streetcar and
Capture Small Sum of
roney and a Watch.

A bold robbery was perpetrated on the
San Bruno road last night about.1o o'clock
by two men, who boarded the horsecar Oh
the line running out to the FOur-mile
House and relieved the driver of his valu-
ables.
They then entered the car and took
money from two passengers, after which
they jumped off and made their escape.
The driver, who also acts as conductor.
is Homer Overacker, and has been on the
road for the past ten years. When he re-
turned to the city he notified the police
and several officers set Out in pursuit of
the robbers. Overacker, in relating his ex-
perience, said: Il was on my trip, out
and had reached point within block
and half of the Four-mile House when l
was surprised by two men who jumped on
the front platform, placed pistol 20 my
head and said, Hold up your hands,
stopped the car and they went through
my pockets and took $40 and my watch.
"There were only two passengers on the
car, an old man ana woman. The men
ordered the man TO give up his money.
The woman tainted and the man gave
them some money, but did not see how
much it was. The men then jumped off
the car and disappeared. There are no
lights ont there and it did not take them
long to get out of sight
"rhe money | lost was my own, as the
passengers on the line drop their fare into
box, and | had none of the company's
change in my pOcke is"
Overacker said that the woman came to
in a few minutes and left the Car at the
terminus. He described the men as being
very roughly dressed, and both about 35
years of age. One OF them. he said, wore
side whiskers.
The officers who started in pursuit OF
the robbers had little chance OF catching
them. as they had full hours start.

WITH THE NURSES.
The Helping Hand Society Enter
tajnment a Grand Success.


tainment a Grand Success.
The Helping Hand Society gave another
of it's pleasing entertainments last evening
at Golden Gate Hall. "An Evening With
the Nurses" was the title given this event,
which proved to be a most delightful
affair.
A tableau of the nurses and prologue
opened the programme, in which were
represented the principal characters in
mythology in gorgeous attire. All sus-
tanned their parts in q credita Bile manner,
which evoked much applause.
Mrs. Martin Schultz then sang 81 Love
Thee" in her usual charming style, and
was followed by poetical reading by Miss
Tableaux of "The Cradle of Pearl"
"Along the Old Park" and "The Angel Of
Light" we're hen portrayed by number
of characteristic persOnages, the effect of
which was highly pleasing.
A living bronze statue, arranged by Mr.
Perham W. Nahl. was In itself feature
as original as it was amusing.
The remainder of the programme con-
sisted of music and concluded with char
acter dance by corps of Terpsichorean
devotees.
During the eight years of its existence
the Helping Hand Society has frightened
the lives of many wretched little children
in the poor quarters of San Francisco
Although auxiliary to the Golden Gate
Kindergarten Association, the Helping
Hand receives no pecuniary aid from thai
association. 1t supports three kindergar-
tens at monthly expense of 500. raised
entirely by individual effort among its
members, and has distributed over 1000

Some time ago. Mr.. Tinkham was pros

the consequent arrangement of the system
suffered severely from dizziness, so much

Minister Thurston recalled from Wash
ingtOn for the purpose of taking the Office
Of Minister of the Interior, while ex-Com-
missioner Charles l.. Carter will prOba bly,
get Attorn ey-General Smiths place. 1t is
not known who will be offered Minister
Thurston's present p0sItioD, although it
has been hinted that the legation at
Washington may be left in charge of Sec
retary Hastings for the next three years
and the salary of a Minister saved. 1t is
generally conceded that Minister Thurs
ton has done all that can be done under
the present Democratic administration
and that he desires 10 come home. There
is nc question that President Dole values
his advice and counsel above all others,
especially in the formation OF the new
government.
The newly elected central committee of
the American, Union party held its first
meeting on Tuesday. The only business
done was the adoption Of the following
resolution:
ResolUed, That it is the sense of this meeting
that the Japanese should not be granted the
franchise.
1t Is said the committee intended to arro-
gate TO itself the nomination of candidates
for the convention. and that slate was
already prepared, but an intimation con-
veyed through the columns OF the Star
that the ward clubs would run opposition
caused it 10 call halt in its plans, at
least for the time being.
At a meeting of the Councils yesterday
afternoon a resolution was introduced
stating that it was the sense of the Councils
that the constitution should be submitted
for ratification to the voters who regis
tered for the approaching election. Mr..
Emmeluth's motion to adopt the resou-
ton was not seconded and the matter was
dropped. This acton would look as
though the new constitution is to be cut
and dried affair and as the Government
will have a clear majority in the conven-
tion. However, the American League may
have good deaf to say on the matter be-
fore the convention meets.
In regard to the immigration OF contract
laborers he Government will send an
agent 10 the Azores to engage number OF
Portuguese. This was stated 70 the Coun-
ellis by President Dole yesterday.

man Holzhauer, Vogt and Phil Fredericks.
The numbers for both to-day's and Sum
days concerts were gone through yester-
day, and numerous friends of the perform
ers, who were present, bestowed warm
applause upon each piece. The effect Of
so many resonant voices was indeed mag
nificeat 1t was evident that with all the
German choral societies in the city to
choose from the conductor had not been
hampered by the difficulty of securing
sufficient tenors to c0unterbalance his
basses, so often STUN blng-block in
choral unions. The tenors last night
showed that they could at least hold their
own against the heavier voices in the
chorus.
A very detailed notice of rehearsal
would be naturally out Of place. but it is
safe to predict from last nights perform
ance that the concerts this evening and
Sunday will be very interesting ones. The
"Pllgrims' Chorus" from "Tannhauser"
went magnfcently yesterday. and a
bright waltz for chorus and orchestra was
particularly admired.

VETERANS HOME.
The Annual Inspection-.A MOrgue to
Be Built.

The retiring board of directors of the
Veterans Home Association held their
last regular meeting last night and de-
voted the most of the session to the claims
of contractors who have supplied labor or
material for the new buildings at Yount-
vile. There was marked difference Of
opinion very forcibly expressed in several
instances. but everything was finally SET
tied to the sa tisfaction of the directors.
They will visit the home on the 26th
and inspect the work OF the contractors.
If it is found to have been performed ac-
cording to the specifications the new
buildings will be accepted.
Architect VIII arf. who has criticized the
bills of j. F. Ward. the plumber. informed
the board hat he would have the plumb
ing done by Ward inspected by three ex-
perls. A resolution was passed author
izing the building of morgue at the
home and the purchase Of burial garments
for the dead.

Sunday at Ell Campo.

Despite the fair and many other attrac-
tions last Sunday, great number Of peo-
pie took advantage OF the opening OF the
ferry line TO Ell Campo. for the purpose of
going to the most delightful place in the
country within easy reach of this city.
Tomorrow the commodious ferry-boat
Ukiah will make the usual number Of trips
to the country resort named, and as the
hills are clothed in their spring garb, and
their sides and the wales and meadows are
covered with wild flowers, crowds will fill
the boat, ip order to be taken to where
they can enjoy few hours of quiet and
gather the choice specimens OF the flora of
Marin County. There are many attrac-
tions at this resort that make visit there
one of pleasure.
