told, some 1900 men are employed. The Incl
dent Is q pleasant one IL means better pay and
better living for the men and their families, CON
currently we have no doubt, with greater profits
for the stockholders Of the company and also
pleasanter relations between employers and the
employed The official announcement states that
this action Is taken on account Of the present
business outlook. That, toe, is pleasant. The
outlook" is good. 1t Is one Of rcviving conf
dence and prosperity, due to the overthrow Of
the party that two years ago put both confidence
and prosperity into a state OF suspended ANNA
ton closely bordering upon death.
The most interesting consideration Of the case,
however, pertains to the identity Of the works.
and to the circumstances amid which the increase
OF wages Is effected There Is not In all this

Here. for instance, David i. Hill was hard at
work in this city last year helping collect the in
hcritance tax. and not an inkling Of what he was
doing ever reached the public. He must have
been hard at work. Of course when people sup
posed he was busy in the Senate at Washington,
in running State conventions and in trying To
elect himself Governor. for otherwise he would
never have sent In bill for $1,000 for counsel
fees. which was promptly paid. just what he
did is known only TO the secret council in Con
trocr Fitchs office, bur undoubtedly it was
s. 800 worth After all, Mr. Hills share in the
cost of collecting the tax was modest one, even
when rated in dollars, and some Of those who
know him will wonder how 1t was that he didn't
charge more for his valuable services.

licitous regarding the cost of the Improvement,

The Tribune believes that the Mayor will ap-

for Kiel on Monday to take part In the naval
demonstration In June In connection with the
opening Of the Baltic Canal. No better repre-
sentatives Of American skill in designing and con-

from the Navy. The New-York has no superior OF

all vessels OF the cruiser type In speed, excepting
her sister ship the Minneapolis. Among the scores
of navy vessels OF the several Naval Powers that
will take part In the festivities at Kiel there will

WILL MAKE THEIR DEBUT.
Two Sisters Unknown to
Theatrical Fame Will
Go East.
They Do Soubrette and Leading
Parts and Are Said to Be
Excellent.

San Francisco has produced many act
resses who have become famous through
out the country, and still a few known
only to local fame. Every few weeks some
young miss makes her appearance before
the footlights, and her reception is either
sufficiently strong to make her at once
popular or of such frigid nature as to
forever kill the histrionic germ of her soul.
The debut, therefore, of one member of
family is not in the least novel, but the
advent of two sisters, both still of tender
years, becomes matter of more than or
binary interest.
In few weeks Miss Clara Montague and
her sister, Miss Virginia Montague, will
make their bow to a San Francisco au-
dience in play to be presented by we'll
known amateurs. Already they have had
offers from several Eastern companies and
they expect TO go to New York in time for
the next season. At present they are I'M
der the care of Walter A. BeIasco, the
well-known dramatic instructor, and those
who have seen them in minor parts are
confident that they will be an immediate
success.
The eldest sister, Miss Clara Montague,
takes kindly to soubrette roles, her petite
figure, well-modulated voice and perfect
form suggesting something light and airy
The sister Miss Virginia, has just
reached II, and is of style to suggest
something heavy in the dramatic line.

AN UNFRIENDLY TRICK.
How Hattie Wilson Was SwindIed Out
of Her Money.

Enoch Cameron, travelling salesman,
was booked at the City Prison last night
on a warrant charging him with misde-
meanor embezzlement. The complaining
witness was Hattie Wilson, Metcalfe
place.
She has been working here for some time
and desired to return to her parents, who
live in Washington. She knew Cameron
and met him on the street on Thursday
She told him she was going home, and he
suggested to her to give him the money
and he would purchase her ticket. She
handed him $50.
She saw him next day and he told her he
had forgotten about the ticket, but he
would get it for her and give it to her yes
terday. He did not turn up, and as her
money was all gone she called at police
headquarters and told her story to Corpo-
raj Moffeth, who advised her to swear out
warrant for his arrest.
The warrant was placed in the hands of
two officers, who traced Cameron to Oak
land and arrested him. He had ticket
in his pocket for Los Angeles and SIS.
When taken to the City Prison he offered
Miss Wilson the SIS, but she refused to
take it and will prosecute him.

RED MEMS POWWOW.
Celebration of Tammany Day After Sun
down by Warriors From Local
Tribes.

Warriors, braves and bloods represent
ing the various local tribes of the Improved
Order of Red Men assembled last night
and sat down to big powwow and feast
under certain tepee known to palefaces
as Franks rotisserie." On the Red Mems
sunstick, which serves as an annual cal
endar, certain notches represent historical
events and personages sacred to the abo-
riginal heart. The biggest notch marks
May II and stands for Tammany day. 1t
was the twenty-eighth animal celebration
and as is the Indian custom the feast be-
gan after shutdown the evening previous.
Tammany (spelt also "Tamani'' and
'Tamina'0 was mighty Indian sachem
of the region now embraced in the
geography of the whites as Maryland, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, and it was he
who signed the compact of amity with the
paleface who wore the broad brimmed
hat, William Penn. Therefore he is the
patron saint of the Red Men.
A committee of medicine men, of whom
George Collins WAS the tighee, had pro-
vided several courses of good things to
eat, including the great American eagle
(spring chickenl These were washed
down with mild form of firewater of two
colors, known as California wines.
The "hiyu wah-wah" was of character
istic kind and a number OF war songs and
recitations were contributed by young and
old bloods. H. A. Chase was the powwow
sachem.
When the calumet or pipe of peace was
passed around, A. K. Stevens, the orator
Of the order, stepped forward Onward S and deliv-

BIRDS AS BAROMETERS.
A WeI1-Known Writer Who Holds That
They Arc Not Weather Wise.

In his charming book, Recent Rambles, -
DR.. Charles G.. Abbott gives some little at
tention to the question whether birds can
realize the coming of storm so far in adj
vance of its actual appearance as to serve
obseryant man as a reliable barometer.
Although this has been popularity believed
for centuries DR.. Abbott thinks that it has
no basis in fact and voices his opinion in
these words:
at needs but short ramble in the
woods and fields after a summer shower,
to see how painfully destructive are mod
crate wind and rain when they rush across
the country hand-in-hand. There is no
more touching sight in all nature than the
lowly murmured plant of nest birds as
they contemplate, after a shower, their
ruined home and drowned f1edglings.
"To credit bird with weather-w isdom,
and yet with no power to guard against
probable danger, is to assume that it leads
the terrible life of one in constant fear-a
mental condition the Bird daily life fatty
contradicts. Never does the world look
brighter than a few hours before some
great change. Never are the birds more
merry, mammals more full of play; vet
the impending storm means mischief that
to some extent might be averted had these
happy creatures but an inkling of what
was coming"
