HE DROP FELL AT ELEVEN.
Never Even Faltered at the Last
Moment.
HE CURSED THE TIGHT MOOSE,
Murdered His Wife Because She Had
Ruined Him and Then Cast
Him Off.

1t was an ideal spring day at San Quen-
tin yesterday, and great patches of blue
bells made queer effects on the brown
rolling hillsdes. The birds twittered and
chirped cheerfully, and the waters of the
bay, hardly stirred by the reluctant
breezeS, glistsned brightly in the hot sun
and reflected the white and blue Of the sky
above. The calm peacefulness of the
country hung over the place. and it was
hard TO realize that legal tragedy was to
take place in the midst of so much Of the
happiness of natures springtime. Yet one
short hour before the sun had reached It's
meridian Patrick Joseph Sullivan. the
wife-murderer, answered for his crime.
II died on the scaffold as he had lived,
displaying a brute courage that compelled
a certain admiration. He showed no re-
morse for his crime. and met his death
with despsiring calmness and curse of
Impotence on his lips.
Sullivan's last night was passed much as
were the preceding ones of the last week.
He went to sleep about 1 O'Clock. telling

FAREWELL TO BEETHOVEN.
Last Performance of the Masters
Work by the Prater Orchestra.

STANDING room only" was announced
at the entrance of Metropolitan Temple
yesterday evening, before the beginning
of the last symphony and popular concert
of the Vienna Prater orchestra. but this
fact did not deter people from f1ockng into
the overcrowded building and blocking the
aisles and galleries.
The last OF the Beethoven cycle Of SYM
phonies was a treat not to be missed by
the music-lovers of San Francisco, and the
excellence of the concert fully justified the
anxiety of the public to hear it. The
famous choral symphony was given only
by the orchestra. it is true, but all The
movements were excellently performed
The "M0lto Vivace." in particular, was
taken at brilliant tempo and was played
with great precision and hnlsh.
The overture by Lassen, "Zwei Thuringi-
sche Volkslieder," awoke almost as much
enthusiasm as The symphony itself. The
themes particularly the last one, "Ah!
Cruel Parting" are familiar all tie world
over a. songs, and although developed out
OF their original simplicity they still re-
tanned their meOdic charm, which was
heightened by the orchestral setting. Two
enthusiastic encores testified to the salts
faction they gave.
Grieg's beautiful music has too much
originality and is not high-sounding
enough to appeal TO audiences who nave
lot learned yet to thoroughly appreciate
its charm. The 'Zwei elegscne Melodien"
last night were well iayed, but did not
awaken the enthusiasm they merted,
though the second. ''Fruhling." was con-
siderably applauded. Bilse's martial
waltz, "Die Furstensl elmer, Tongemaelde,"
was dramatically played and received
persistent encore. The concert concluded
with the Muller-Berghaus setting of

most inimitabe mann er.
This evening there will be grand con-
cert, "Soloists' Night" at the Festival
Hall recreation grounds. An entirely new
programme. including the appearance oil
the soloists of this great organization, will
be rendered.

cere Munich school was ridiculed by its
neighbor over the Rhine. "Bitumen' was
the only criticism. Bitumen, as painters
know, is peculiar brown color, and was
used perhans too freely for shadows.
Now the French paint brilliant blue
shadows. purple skies or water and blue
atmospneres-all blue. Why such ex-
tremes should exist is question of dis
cussion, and it may be heard to-day at the
spring exhibition. Even In the academy
artists are divided. and so there Is more or
less discord.
II will be noticed that Arthur Matthews,
Keith. felland. Kunath, Raschen, Hill and
the other men on top never look at nature
through blue glasses. Stanton is not long
home from France. and yet he subdues his
blses and puppies so perfectly that his
pictures In favorable light and with
proper distance appear as refined interpre-
tations OF nature. and those bues are

say, their work is not all on 'the llne."

somehow, are outside the charmed circle.
Evidences of honest and sincere effort at

meritorious results, having much to ad-

one of these true artists, but we have the
satisfaction of seeing many OF the best
men paint without making everything blue

And this remark must remind visitor to
the exhibition that there is a startling
prep0nderance Of washing blue color
among the pictures. Color runs riot on
more than one canvas, aud all the sooth-
ing and equa'izng effects of others are
needed to subdue the blush flash that
meets one'seyes on entering. Art has its
fads, however, sometimes comm rcal per-
haps. as in trade new styles relegate the
old and quicken mercantile life, and this
blue craze will no doubt sell pictures in
places where the decorative is mis- AIKEN

CO solers. They arrived at O'Clock and
remained with him until the last He
made a request that no one should disturb
his last hours, and was in close communion
with the priests until Warden Hale, about
10 o'clock, visited the cell and read to him
the death warrant Sullivan listened to
1t without comment and returned TO his
conversation with the priests. About a
quarter TO II o'clock all the prisoners were
ordered out of the execution chamber,
while the three officers, whose names are
not known entered the box On the scat
fold where the three strings led which let
the drop fall Not even the officers them
selves knew which one cut the string that
launched Sullivan into the unknown world.
After the officers had been securely
locked in the spectators were again ad-
mitted to the chamber. A few minutes
before the appointed hour, just as burst
of Sunlight followed the shadow of pass
ing cloud, the door leading to the crimi-
NAILS cell opened and the priests clad in
the vestments of the church walked slowly
forth reading the solemn office of the dead.
Alter them with face OF CHASTITY pallor and
unshaven beard came Sullivan, walking
steadily and slowly with something of the
rolling gait of sailor. He looked fur
lively around the chant Der, scanned the
faces Of the people and then look of fear
full despairing agony crept into his eyes as
they fell upon the gallows upon which he
was to die. Still he did not falter. He
surveyed the apparatus with intense earn
estness as if trying to discover whether it
were strong enough to bear the ordeal. As

felt the handrails and the fastenings and
on reaching the platform cast a critical
look on the beam overhead from W hich
hung the newly stretched rope. Some
thing of satisfaction cleaned through his
stolid features as the frmness of the struc-
ture forced itself upon him. Then he walked
to the railing and looked down on the
small crowd below.
Just then the twittering of a sparrow
which perched on the raiter overhead
seemed to strike him with awful force of
contrast. A look of such despair as once
seen is never forgotten rested for a mo-
ment in the fixed eyes. then with an effort
of superhuman strength he collected his
faculties for the last talk he should ever
make. That his actions at that critical
moment partook of bravado seemed not
the result of intention 80 much as the fierce
endeavor TO conceal the terrible mental
suffering within. The effect of this was
visible on the spectators, for every one
grew pale.
"Come inside here, want to see you
ALL" said the doomed man suddenly, max
ing an imperative gesture with his right
hand to the guards who stood without the
doors. The men invoiuntarily obeyed the
command. Then looking around the up
turned faces he said slowly, II don't see

On November II, 1892, he met her coming
out of dive on Pacific street, and, carried
away by his passion, killed her. he
stabbed her nine times, any one Of the
wounds being fatal. He was arraigned
December 16, and found guilty of murder
on May 9. 1893 He was sentenced on
June 9, 1893. Sullivan appealed TO the
supreme Court. the judgment was affirmed
and on February 81, 1894. he was resen-
fenced to be hanged. He has never shown
any particular fear Of death, and always
said if he had not spent his money he
would never have been hanged. He had
been an extensive if not a deep reader,
and was of much more intelligence than his
picture would indicate. The keynote to
his disposition is contained in his remark
that II deserve worse than hanging for
having been fool enough to kill that
woman. She deserved her death for what
she did, but l was an ass TO do the killing"
On the day before his execution Sulli-
van addressed the following letter TO his
attorney:

annual picnic at Englewood yesterday.
Under the care of the principal, Miss
Gamble, seventy of them were conveyed

The return trip was made about O'Clock
in the afternoon. when all returned with
collections of the wild fora of the hills.
Aside from having quit weary, there was

SULLIXAN'S LEE.
Bad Company and Drink Responsible
for His Crime.

iiIS SiIlHC.
The story of Sullivan's life shows the
difficulties which beset naturally brutal
character In trying to rise above its en-
vironment. The murderer's instincts
were brutal, but he had also an intel
lgence far beyond the average of his class.
BY birth he was Irish, having been born in
County TipDerary, Ireland, in August,
1854. He came to this coun ry all in ant
in arms, his parents remaining for some
time in New York. H. had but little
schooling of any kind and was early ap-
prenticed to the Ironmolding trade, event
ually becoming a puddler. He went to

navy fourteen years. during that period
visiting every port in the world except
Australian ports. He was with the Nipsic

Sullivan was sober and saving man.

time but beer. His sailor In stincts led him
