WHERE ARE THE LETTERS?
POSTAL INSPECTORS ARE TRYING
TOSOLVE AN INTERESTING
PROBLEM.
THE MISSING PRESS CLUB INVITA-
TONS ARE Now BEING
TRACED.

The missing Press Club invitations to
the members OF the Bohemian Club are
causing considerable stir in postoffice
circles. Although no formal complaint
was made by the president of the club,
still Postmaster McCoppin thought enough
about the matter to call in the assistance
of the Postoffice Inspectors. The latter
have not quite finished their Iabors, but
nevertheless have learned enough to satisfy
themselves that the missing letters OF in
vitation never reached the Postoffice
There were over 900 of them written out,
enveloped and stamped of this number
only some $50 reached their destination.
Consequently So worth, or over, OF stamps
went astray with the letters.
What became of those letters, therefore,
is the question that is worrying Postmaster
McCoppin, the Postal Inspectors, Secre-
tary Donald of the Press Club, and in fact
all the members of the Press and Bohe-
milan clubs generally.
"The invitations were never mailed in
this Office said Postmaster McCoppin
yesterday. "They were lost or stolen
either before or after leaving the club
rooms. The man to whom they were given
to mail says he delivered them to some
one IN the PoStoffice, and did not put them
IN the regular mailing-box. No such thing
was done, to the knowledge of any one in
the fostoince. Supposlng, for the sake of
argument, all those letters had been
mailed, what chance was there for any one
carrier or sorter to get rid of 400 of them
The idea is absurd on the face of it. Those
invitations were never mailed"
"The invitations were mailed all right"
said Secretary Donald last evening. Mr..
Worrell, gentleman in whom have the
greatest confidence, assisted me in the get
ting out of the invitations. He took them
to the Postoffice when completed and
mailed them himself. l employ Mr.. Wor-
rel only occasionally, but he came to me
with the highest recommendations, and
when he tells me he mailed those letters I
am satisfied that he did So"
The matter, therefore, stands in this
way: The postal authorities are satisfied
that the missing invitations were never
mailed, and Secretary Donald is positive
they were. In the meantime the Postoffice
the case will soon be known

The Southern Pacific May Have Inn
pregnab1e Express Cars.
The frequency with which train rob-
berries have occurred within the past few
years, many of which resulted in the loss
Of large sums of money to the companies
which were the victims, has been source
OF great annoyance to the officials of the
Southern Pacific in common with those of
other roads.
The subject has received much attention
from these gentlemen, and various means
have been suggested from time to time by
which it was believed the efforts of the
thieves might be frustrated. It was pro-
posed to have armed guards accompany
each train upon which treasure was car
ried, but this plan involved great expense,
and as the efforts of all railroad COMPANIES
are now directed toward reducing expendi-
lures instead of increasing them, conse-
quently this plan was abandoned
The method now under consideration is
car especially constructed to successfully
resist any attacks make upon it, 1t has
become quite frequent occurance of late
for outlaws to make a sudden descent on a
train, put the engineer and fireman under
arrest, and while portion of the gang
guards their prisoners, the remainder of
the band deliberately go through the train
and levy on the passengers.
The mail and express cars are however,
the most sought after, and the desperadoes
often make rich hauls, owing to the fact
that the messengers are in such position
as to be almost helpless. If they lock them
selves in the car there is no chance to resist
an onslaught and the robbers being, as a
rule, frst-class marksmen, any exposure
on the part of the employees results in
drawing the effective fire of the thieves.
In device which the Southern Pacific
officials are giving their consideration the
express Or mail car is provided with oppo-
site side openings, into which are fitted
rectangular frames, somewhat like large
shallow sh box, opening inwardly to the car.
These sections rest upon suitable floor
strips and are provided with rack bars and
pinlon gear. They are nominally drawn
inward, SO that the outward face is flush
with the side of the car, and does not pre-

sent any unusual appearance. When the
train is stopped and the robbers parade
along it the messenger turns a crank and
the bullet-proof sections slide out like a
square bay-window. Small loopholes are
provided, and the messenger is thus al
forded a fianking fire the entire length of
the train. The loopholes are protected by
steel plates pivotally attached which can
be turned to cover the orifce until the mes
senger is ready to snuff out another robber.
The sections are also provided with
searchliights, which will illuminate the
entire length OF the train and the sur
rounding land. The device. it is claimed,
will also prevent the robbers from pursuing
plan which has found much favor with
them in the past. 1t has been the custom
of many of these gangs of desperadoes to
use, the engineer or fireman of train at
tackled as shield, while the thieves forced
the door of the express-car with dynamite
or other means. AS the sliding sections
permit the messenger to have full view
of the train he could readily pick off the
thieves from his secure position before
they would be able to attach bomb to
the car door or make any progress in their
efforts to force an entrance.

tom of the trouble. He had been abusing
Holbrook for several days, and the latter
was anxious for revenge. When the mate
and a sailor named Swanson got into an
alteration in which blows were ex-
changed, Holbrook saw his opportunity
and struck the mate with piece of scant-
ling. This all happened in the dusk of the
evening, and Captain Morehouse, seeing
that fight was in progress, ran forward
and, seizing a Delaying pin on his way,
struck the first fighter he met. Holbrook

PIPE THROUGH THE STREETS.
A Winemaker Will Use One of the City's
Observation-Disclosures.

A Winemaker Will Use One of the City's
Thoroughfares.
The Board of Supervisors has been asked
for various kinds of piping privileges,
franchises for steampipes, gaspipes and
water-pipes, but for the first time in the
history of the body petition to lay wine
pipes in The public streets was before the
Street Committee yesterday.
q. Carpy is the owner of two extensive
warehouses, one at the southwest corner
OF Folsom and Second streets and the
other on Brannan street, near Fourth 1t
has heretofore been his custom to have all
vine which it became necessary to convey
from one winery to the other hauled in
wagons, but the proprietor has decided
that it would be cheaper to pipe it, so he
petitioned the Supervisors for the privilege
yesterday, receiving a favorable answer to
his request.
The pipes will be laid along Second and
Brannan streets, and the amount of wine
which under the old methods took day to
transfer can then be carried in couple of
hours.
The work will be done under the super
vision Of the Superintendent of Streets.

possible, and as personal illustration

One OF the most striking things about
Miss McCormick's studio was the long
straight lines. Even the earliest Grecian
schools were not more severe. The drap-
cries of the walls, the mathematicalfy
lineal effect, all bespoke Etruscan sim
plicity, and yet these were the surround
ings of the young lady who admitted that
fashion" still holds sway in feminine
souls.
Miss Mccormick work is sure to attract
attention, if only for the reason that it is
strong and finished. There is little or no
impressionistic sense developed. Neither
is she broadly realistic, but as a clever
woman she is well in the front rank. An
exhibitor at the Salon, the Berlin Acad-
emy the Pennsylvania Academy and the
Columbian Exposition, should certainly
be relied upon to furnish something above
the average for the coming spring exhibi-

MUSIC At THE AUDITORIUM.
AN EXCELLENT RENDERING OF
SOME CLASSIC WORKS.
POPULAR NIGHT.
LOVERS OF Harmony WHO SEEM TO
Be UNDERGOING LENT
PENANCES.

So many good and pious people practice
self-abnegation in Lent, denying them
selves every pleasure, from sugar in their
tea to the luxuFies of music and art. that
one cannot but wonder whether it is owing
to self-imposed penance that the musical
public OF San Francisco is DENYING itself
the pleasure of the excellent concerts that
the Metropolitan Musical Society is giving
at the Auditorium.
Last week symphony that had been
talked of throughout the length and bredth
of America-Anton Dvorak's sFrom the
New World"-was given at the Auditorium
for the first time in San Francisco. 1t was
the first great symphony by a leading COM
poser of the day, written in America
and for Americans, and the musical pub
lie was not to be tempted, even by that
great treat, to break its Lenten fast from
the joys OF good music. Yesterday even
ing MosZkowskIs Jeanne 4 dare" was
played, and the people who used to flock
to applaud Scheel were again conspicuous
by their absence.
VI course there was an audience, but
where the enthusiastic crowds used to come
in hundreds they now come in tens and
fives and yet the orchestra is much nearer
perfectlon than 1T was few months ago.
4uOc1hoN M POEM was Uedu-
tifully played last night. It is peculiarly
attractive work and will well bear hearing
more than once, as the descriptive charac-
ter OF the music grows upon the hearer-
Jeanne's pastoral life and her great mis-
sion revealed In vision, followed by the
harmonies which were chromatic enough
to express any amount of internal discord,

ply of war, and in the fourth to see Jeanne
in prison, led forth to execution, and
finally dying to soft music, which was sue

The .gracefulness and yet the strength of
G!uck's overture ''Iphigenia,n were beau
tifully rendered, and Bizet's suite "Roma,"
was worth going to the concert to hear
alone, for the brio and brilIiancy with
which the charming music was played
could scarcely have been improved.

and on Saturday evening. Sunday even
