How They Robbed an Old
Man of $40.
w. ii. Murray Is of the Opinion
That San Francisco Is Worse in
Some Things Than Chicago.

w. II. Murray is firmly of the opinion
that in one respect at least San Francisco
is far ahead of Chicago. He is a respect
able old gentleman and recently came here
from the Windy City.
Yesterday he appeared ia Judge Joach-
imsen's court and swore out warrants for
the arrest of Jane Doe" and MARY
Roe" on the charge Of grand larceny.
He lives al 523 Jones street, and on the
evening of October IS be was Cd his way
to the ferries TO cross over to Oakland.
While passing the corner of Post and
Mason streets two stylshly dressed young
women accOsted hun.
One of them said, 81 beg your pardon,
sir, for addressing You. but we would like
TO ask you to do US a favor. We have the
the keys of house that is to let, and as 1t
is getting dark we feel timid at going into
il without an escort. Would you kindly
oblige US by escorting us through the
house 2?
The old gentleman explained that he
was on his way to the ferries, but that he
would not mind missing a boat il he could
be of any service To the young ladies. The
ladies were profuse in their thanks and
they took him 20 $40 Mason street, which
was vacant.
After looking through some of the rooms
one OF tie young women suddenly left
room where the three had been standing
ana closed the door behind her. She had
no sooner done so than her companion
threw her arms around the old mans neck
and told him he was such "a dear, good
old gentleman, so like her own papa"
Mr.. Murray was staggered at this unex-
pected display of affection and protested
that he had done nothing to warrant il.
But the young woman Rugged him all the
closer till finally through sheer force he
dragged himself from her embrace. He
felt angry. and told her that he did not
wish to have anything more to say to her
and hurriedly left the room and the house.
When he got to the ferry he found, to
his surprise and indignation, that his
purse, con tanning two SO bills, was miss
ing, but he had still So in silver in an
other pocket. He imm ediately suspected
that the young woman who said he was
so like her dear papa" had distracted his
purse while embracing him. He pondered
over it TIL yesterday when lie made up his
m ind TO have the two women arrested.
"Why, sir" he said to Prosecuting At
tOrney Cabaniss, II have lived in Chicago
for years, and although it gets the name
of n wicked city [ have walked its streets
day and night and never met with such Al
experience as this. Chicago with all its
faults, il not to be compared TO this city.

ness just to rob me. 1t is outrageous"

A CHAMBER MUSICALE
Given Last Night by the Beethoven
String Quartet,

A pleasant recital of chamber music was
given yesterday evening by the Beethoven
String Quartet at 922 O'Farrell street.
The performers were A. A. Solomon.

Savannah, viola. and II. Strelitz, 'celloist
The quartet was assisted by Miss Lottie
Segel, soprano soloist, and A. SuDd-
land. who presided at the pian0forte.
A string trio by Beethoven, opus
in E fiat, opened the concert. A sonata
by Handel in A ajor was nicely played by
A. A. Solomon aud A. Sundland. In
the violin and cello duet by Beethoven, the
former instrument did the bes. work, the
'celloist beng a little lacking in precision
of attack. Taking S. Savannah's extre me
youth into consideration, however, his
work was very creditable His intona-
ton was good and his tone agreeable.
10 the string quartet in G major, by
Haydn, the four young performers who
constitute the Beethoven quartet worked
very well together, which Is good deal to
say of a quartet. Mr.. Solomon led them
valianty, though be was shade off the
key once or twice. slip which was Occa-
Sionally noticeable also in the two inner
instruments. The quartet however,
played with precision and good attack,
and their shading was very finished.
Miss Siegel was good deal applauded
for both her songs, which she sang with a
good deal of expression and taste. She
| was encored DOtu for Rubnstein's "Thou
Art Like Unto Flower" and Grieg' S

SCOTTISH TRAITS.
A Lecture by the Rev. Dr..
Mackenzie.
Why the Cannie Scott Does Not
Remain in His Native
Land.

The platform of the auditorium at the
Young Mems Christian Association had
been gayly and appropriately decorated
last night for Rev DR.. Mackenzie's lee
ture on Scottish Traits" which was
given for the benefit of the Doctors
Daughters. A bunch of real Scotch
heather was one of the most conspicuous
decorations. This was sllhouetted against
a banner emplazoned with a British lion
rampant, A number of huge California
thistles represented the emblem of Scot
land. The most learned ScOtchman pres
ent. however, would probably have heen
hard put 10 it to say what clan the gay
sllken plaids that adorned the stage be-
longed to. They were modern plalds OF
variety unknown to the claDsDaD, but
they had the advantage of looking Scotch.
1t has often been said that Scotchman
Jokes VII dificultee. DR.. Mackenzie dis
proved this libel, for he joked with ease
and raised many laugh during his lee
ture. GU cannot judge The size OF Scot
land by the map" he said, because IL was
not made by Scotchmen. One OF tnese
days a Scotchman will rise IN his wrath
and will make map big enough. South
of it he will put 4 little narrow neck OF
land like the Isthmus of Panama.
''Scotchmen were born in Scotland, not
because they intended to stay there. they
have more sense than that, but they want
to say they come from a good place. In
the Arctic you fiud Scotchmen. in Austria
