The Public Disappointed.

To the LIGHT:
The public is much disappointed
at the failure Of the city authori-
ties to remove Mr.. Brand, as the
general impression is, that the city
exceeded it's authority, when it
made the contract with him, and
that such contract being illegal,
was null and void from the outset.
The Council ought to take the Opin-
ion Of the city attorney on the le-
gality Of said contract, and tell Mr..
Brand to step off his perch. The
city attorney is far too good a law
yer to hold the contract with
Brand was lawful. A municipal
corporation is tied down by its
charter and can exercise only such
powers as granted to it by its char
ter. By the terms Of the city char
ter, the tax collector is the only
person who can legally collect the
city taxes. II the city can legally
withdraw the collection Of the de-
linquent taxes from the city col
lector and entrust their collection
to another person, then, by parity
of reason, it can do the same thing
with the collection Of al! taxes, and
by indirection, deprive the city col
lector Of his lawful powers and
i rights. LEGAL LIGHT.

Senator @. S. Arms of the Thirty-hrst is
IN the Mint, will do as Daggett says and is
heartily with McNab and his associates.
Tim Donovan of the Thirty second, who
is in the Custom-house, is said to have
been helped there by Pepper. r. Lut-
orders in the Office of Internal Revenue
Collector Welburn, and McNab runs the
politics of that Office through Welburn.
James Butler is from Peppers old dis
trict, the Thirty-ffth, but his present
affiliations are uncertain. Peter Quinn
is groceryman IN the Thirty
sixth and is credited with being
about the only vote Watkins secured from
that district. G.. II. Thompson of the
Thirty-eighth represents Watkins dis
trict, and is close to Watkins and Watkins
friend, Sam Daniels. s. Kohlman of the
Thirty-ninth is in the Tax Collectors s
Office; thanks to Max Pepper largely. M:
G. Hassett of the Fortieth is another friend
of Peppers. Then in succession came the
purists, Ed Lanigan and Eddie Creamy,
who are respectively for Welburn and the
Fire Department. T. J. Pinder of the
Forty-third recalls old associations with
Pepper, and Otto Koepler of the Forty
fourth is an Iroquois man, always asso-
ciated with Pepper and his friends. Clitus
Barbour of GAVIN McNab's district will
never be found across the street from Nc.
Nab politically.
This is but glance at the committee,
but whatever other affiliations and intiu-
ences are there it will be seen that all
around Pepper would be an influence with
it, and Pepper is now cordially working
with McNab and Braunhart.
The Buckley men work hard behind the
curtain, come out once in while to see
with curious interest how McNab's 8
new Democratic party is getting along
with it's birth, and listen to the Junta' s
death warrant with fortitude. They say
that they admire one thing about the
other fellows, and that is their superb
"gall." They smile sardonically and tell
the old story about the three tailors OF
Thrsadneedle street who met and resolved,
"We, the tailors of London, etc."

PEOPLES THEATER.
Opening Performance of Melodrama
and Variety House.

The house on Howard street that was
once Morosco's opened last night as the
Peoples Theater. There was an audience
that packed every corner of the big build
ing and left very little standing room IN
the aisle near the entrance, which serves
as foyer.
The building has been painted outside
and redecorated inside, though the altera-
tions in the interior arrangements are not
entirely completed. The house is now
lighted completely.with electricity.
The style of entertainment that was in
augurated last night is new to San Fran
cisco, though it is not novelty in the
East. 1t consists of q double bill which
offers the theater-goer heavy melodrama
sandwiched with light and airy variety
show. For instance, after seeing the evil
genius of the play villain through whole
act, the audience can forget his deeds of
darkness IN watching the gyrations of the
transformation dancers or the song and
dance act of the Ramonde sisters.
The melodrama last night was Bouci-
cault's "After Dark" James M. Ward
played his original character of Old Tom,
Darrell Vinton was Gordon Chumley and
w. T. Gleason took the part of Dizzy Nor
ris, proprietor of the Elysium Concert
Hall. All these old favorites were much
applauded. Margaret Reid, who played
Eliza, is evidently an actress of some ex-
perience, but Miss Leonore White, the

AN EXECUTION BY FIAT,
Way the Democratic General
Committee Will Prob
ably Die.
AND MAX PoPPER HAS RISEN.
Some Gossip About the Watkins
Committee and Its Individual
Strength.

The local Democratic mess is simply
fermentlng now. Since the meeting of the
Deuprey committee on Thursday night to
begin the interesting work of making a
brand-new anti-Buckley machine and the
whoop-up at the Occidental Club on the
same evening both factions of the party
have been quietly but very busily at work
perfecting plans and strengthening their
positions.
The next formal movement will prob
ably be the meeting of the new committee
of fifty within week. When the Deuprey
committee and the committee of twenty
five appointed by Chairman Watkins thus
get together and coalesce it will adopt
some plan of reorganization, which will by
that time have been decided on by Gavin
McNab, Max Pepper, Sam Braunhart and
one or two others of the present Junta.
Then, it is expected, the present general
committee will be killed and new one
created with neatness and dispatch.
The method by which the McNabers will
gather the entire party to themselves is
yet little hazy, but the promise of it
rises more clearly and definitely. The
committee of fifty, half of which was some
what arbitrarily appointed at the last
municipal convention and whose powers
have recently been arbitrarily decided by
the Junta, and the other half of which is
wholly an arbitrary creation OF Chairman
Watkins, will create new general COM
mittee by direct appointment and by
virtue of the sovereignty it declares to
belong to it.
In creating this new party organization
of 450 three short steps will be expedi-
tiously taken. The fifty will first appoint
themselves members of the new general
committee. Then they will add all mem
bers of the present committee who
voted for A. A. Watkins for chair
man or who will renounce Buck
ley with sufficient evidence of good
faith. Then they will complete the
450 by adding carefully selected anti
Buckley men, and if the other wing of the
party gets so much as cousin of one of
its friends in the new general committee
it will not be throug gh the grace of the Nc
Nabers.
The Junta is playing trumps now.. This
plan of giving seats in the new committee
| to all members of the present one who will
stand in with the Junta is one of them. It

open-Air Mass-Meeting.
The American section of the Socialist
Labor party held an open-air mass-meet-
ing last evening on Seventh and Market
streets, despite the fact that on similar oc-
casions several of their speakers had been
arrested by the police for disturbing the
peace and obstructing the public streets
1t was believed that if the Socialists at

quently there were many in the crowd
whose pockets were we'll filed with money

These precautions were entirely unnec-

COL. ANDREWS TO RETIRE.
He Desires to Take Life Easy and to
Enjoy the Fortune He Has
Earned.

Colonel A. Andrews famous Diamond
Palace is to pass into history with the end
OF the current year. He has determined to
retire from business, having, as he said in
the course of an interview yesterday,
made his fortune and being desirous of
casting off the cares of trade before he be-

fortune OF $500, 900, which he proposes to
invest IN City property. The $34, 900 which
1t cost to fit up his magnificent establish
ment, which is reputed to be the finest in
the world, was borrowed from several local
capitalists, and his $4,000 stock of Jew
elry, diamonds, etc., was given him on
credit.
He has had many celebrities of both
continents as patrons, and many of the
orders given him have run into the tens of
thousands. The most notable transaction
was the sale to the late Senator William
set with 68-carat diamond valued at $685.

REJOICING AT STANFORD.
DR.. Jordan Drawn in a Carriage by
Four Hundred Students.

Four Hundred Students.
PALO ALTO, CAL, Oct. 12.-From the
time President Jordan's telegram an
nouncing the favorable decision was re-
ceived this morning until o'clock this
evening excitement continued to increase
among the students. After procession at
noon enthusiastic speeches were INDUCED
in before the co-eds' dormitory. A COM
mittee was organized to meet DR.. Jordan
at 6 as P. NJ, on his arrival from San Fran
cisco, and thousand students surrounded
the depot with torches, horns and gongs.
When the train pulled in it was greeted
with salvoes of cheers and with fire works.
President Jordan and his wife were
escorted to decorated carriage drawn by
400 students and taken to Roble Hall, one
mile distant, where bonfires had been
lighted. DR.. Jordan said:
II understand this to be celebration
not to me, but because I stand for STAN
ford University. 1 remember having
heard something. last summer to the effect
that the glimmer of the glamour is no
more | don't know that l would recog-
nlze glimmer or glamour were 1 to see
one, but / do know that we seem to be on
the winning side. l remember some five
years ago having seen the President of
the United States in a carriage as l am
now, surrounded by a crowd like this in
some respects, different in others. He
didn't look half as happy as feel and ap-
peared to wish he had something more
tractable on his hands than the United
States. In conclusion, all L can say is
that the glimmer of the glamour will never
be no more, and this university will never
close Its DOORS"
DR.. Jordan's remarks were frequently
drowned in applause. When he finished
he was taken to his home, and all the
students were invited to his residence.
For twenty minutes the crowd passed
through the house, shaking hands with
DIR. Jordan and his wife. The students
did not disband until 8 o'clock this
evening.
