HARRINGTON MURDER MYSTERY.
Police Do Not Seem to Charge Senator
Buck with the Crime.

SAN FRANCISCO. June 4.-Two days
which have elapsed since the mangled
body of Miss Nellie Harrin gton was found
in her fat have deepened rather than
cleared the mystery connected with her
murder. Some further light has been
thrown upon the business Investments of
the dead woman, which might have
furnished an incentive for the crime, but
the knowledge has aided the police but
little.
The unfortunate accident to ex- Senator
l.. w. Buck has still further complicated
matters. Buck was an intimate friend of
Miss Harrington, whom he had known
for twenty years, and the police hoped
that his knowledge of her affairs might
supply a clew to the murderer. Since the
accident Buck has been unconscious, but
his condition is improved.

Quite a most elaborate venture in
burIesque by Manager David Hen
derson. Of Chicago, will be seen at
the Burtis Opera house Thursday
evening. The American Extrava-
ganza company will present for
the first time in the three cities ..Sin-
bad, or the Maid Of Balsora," in ex-
actly the same style as when seen in
Chicago. where it ran for nearly two
years. In scenery and illusion and
glittering effects '.Sinbad" is i'm
mensely effective. The music and
songs are diverting and the dialogue
is interesting. The dancing is good.
The solo dancing. however, is unus-
ually graceful and beautiful for its
rhythm and poetry of motion. The
costumes exceed any of Mr.. Hender-
sons previous attempts in this line,
which is saying much. There is no
gaudiness of color, no clash of views,
for MIR. Henderson's taste in these
matters is the best. The members
of the caste of "Sinbad" are all well
chosen.
