AFTER WHISKY SMUGGLERS
Party of Miners Bound for
the Yukon.

The revenue cutter Corwin, which left
here several weeks ago to patrol Boring
Sea in quest of seal-poachers and to Incl
dentally look after whisky smugglers, has
been heard from in Southeastern Alaska.
At Sitka she took on board Collector of
Customs Moore and then sailed for Dyea
Inlet, where party of miners had been
landed en- route to the Yukon. Informa-
ton had been received that the miners had
with them stock of whisky with which
they intended to do some trading with the
natives.
Captain Munger landed detachment of
marines, but the miners had learned of
their coming and had struck camp and
started for the interior. The marines gave
chase and pursued the party for day.
finally overtaking them. If the miners
took any whisky with them they got rid OF
it before the revenue men caught up with
them, and the marines returned to the
Corwin empty handed.

THE AVERY COLLECTION
Early Art Work in California In Place
at the Hopkins Insti-
tute.

Secretary Martin is busy at the Hopkins
Art Institute putting in place and arrang-
ing the Avery collection of paintings which
Mrs. B. Avery has donated to the institute,
and which was formally accepted with
thanks by the board of directors at their
last meeting.
This collection, which was the property
of the late Ben amin P. Avery, consists of
thirty -four oil paintings, and are represen-
tative of the early art in California. Some
of the paintings, made years ago, were
done by men since acknowledged as among
the best artists in the country. One or
two of the collection are by foreign artists,
but not more.
A portrait of B. P. Avery by Toby Rosen-
thai will hold the center position in the
room which has been set apart especially
for this collection. There are several early
pictures by Keith, Hill, Bloomer, Key,
Beach, MARBLE and Brookes. Between the
work done now by such men as Keith and
Hill and these pictures painted years ago
the difference is most striking.
Ali of the pictures have been cleaned
and newly framed, and when in place the
avery ROOM" as it will be called, prom
ises, as an evidence of the early art work
of the State, to be one of the most inter-
esting rooms in the institute.

crisis and offers Mrs. Ebbsmith Bible:
She promptly pitches it into the stove, and
thrill of horror runs through the audi
ence as they see in Imagination the whole
Christian church tottering before their
eyes Suddenly with wild scream she
plunges her hand into the glowing stove
and pulls out the Bible again. The church
is saved, and the curtain descends amid
thunders of applause.
A less sensible and less courageous stage
effect it would be hard to witness. Ii
Pinero had created woman whose life
had been made miserable by the gloomy
terrorism which some vulgar, fanatlcal
parents extract from the Bible; If that
were their fetish-such picture, for in
stance, as Dickens gave in the Clennam
household in Little Dorrit" he
might have made the woman thrust the
Bible into the stove and leave it there.
But to introduce woman who has been
educated as secularist, and whose one
nisfortune-her unhappy marriage-can
hardly, by any stretch of casuistry, be laid
to the charge of st. Paups teachings; to
make this woman senselessly say all her
misfortunes are due to the Bible; to make
her throw it into the stove and then injure
herself horribly in pulling it out again
this is piece of claptrap so gross that 1T
absolves one from all obligation to treat
Pinero's art as anything higher than the
barest art of theatrical sensation. AS IN
'tThe Profiigate." as in "The Second Mrs.
Tanqueray," he has had no idea beyond
that of doing something daring and bring
ing down the house, by running away
from the consequences

FOR A WORTHY CAUSE.
An Entertainment Given Mt the ''Nur.
sery for Homeless Children"

An Entertainment Given at the ''Nur-
sery for Homeless Children"
An interesting entertainment was given
yesterday at the Nursery for Homeless
Children" $40 Howard street. As this in
stitution is noted as being one of the most
homelike institutions on this coast, there
were number of aristocratic visitors pres
ent to note the way in which the institu-
ton was managed and how the education
and advancement of the little ones was &C.
complished.
The meager appropriation allowed by the
State for the maintenance of this necessary
home for the children was used up some
time ago, the expense being considerably
greater IN the past two years than before,
there being sixty-five children at the pres
ent time.
The appropriation allowed by the last
Legislature will be inaccessible until next
August, consequently the expense of the
institution will have to be borne by charit-
ably disposed societies and individuals.
After making the rounds of the building
and grounds the visitors retired to the kin
dergarten schoolroom, where an interest
ing programme was rendered in which the
following ladies participated: Misses Tag
CART, Nelson, Mitchell, Grove, Pierce,
Brogie and Carolyn Boyan.
The Little Vesper Club" which is COM
posed of Misses Ethel Wagner, president:
Ella Mitchell, Edna Booth, Julia Wright
and Grace Mccormick, were present, assist
ing in the entertainment and in the serving
of refreshments

Easter Week.

Two Society Sketch Performers Coming for
Easter Week.
The programme presented at the Orphe-
UNI attracted large audiences all last week.
The electric quartet and John and Harry
Dillon especially won their way into popu-
lar favor among the new people. Bruet
and Riviere, the Nawns and John A. Cole
man continued their successes of the pre-
vious week.
Manager Walter has more new attrac-
tons for the current week, chief among
them being "Stuart," the widely known
female impersonator. and Binns and
Binns, musical comedians. "Stuart" has
long list of successes in his repertoire,
which he will present in his catchy, cafe
chantant style. He announces in adj
vance, as an important feature of his
appearance, the magnificence and stylish
ness of his gowns, which he is modest
enough to compare with the elaborate
outfit of an international prima donna.
Redding and Stanton, the favorite
sketch performers, open at the Orpheum
on April 10. They will present their
original pIaylets, "a Happy Pair and
GA Pair of Lunatics." In Boston and
New York these performers were quite the
fashionable fad for drawing-room enter
tainments, at society teas and receptions.
Their pieces are full of incident, as we'll as
being refined and graceful little sketches.
Other attractions are promised for the
same date.

The San Francisco Debut of Emmett,
Junior,
Fritz in a Madhouse," which J. K.
Emmett presents at Stockwell's Theater
on Monday evening, April 15, is said to
afford that well-known actor greater op-
portunities than any of the other versions
of Fritz" in which he has yet appeared.
1t presents him as the same lovable Ger
man boy, whose humor wins smiles and
whose sorrows draw tears; but he is more
polished than the Fritz who has hitherto
helped to establish J. K. Emmett's repu-
tation.
In Fritz in Madhouse" there are sew
eral new songs, the actors own compost
tions, which are said to be as good as those
which have already become popular. The
children will be as noticeable feature as
in former versions of Fritz" "Cute"

which made her reputation. The author
of the article adds that Loie Fuller was not
content with studying cathedral windows; ;
she also passed whole days at the National
Library in Paris looking over antique
prints, to discover forgotten draperies and

THE HASTINGS ESTATE.
A Tendency Exhibited on the Part of
the Executors to Delay the
Settlement.

The case of Jennie s. Catherwood,
Charles G. III. Catherwood (by his guar
dian, Clara l.. Catherwood), Louise c. La
Montague and Ernest La Montague VS..
William Giselman and William Giselman
and r. B. Wallace, as executors of the last
will of S. Clinton Hastings, came up again
before Judge SeawelI yesterday. Samuel
NJ. Shortridge appeared for the children
and E. S. Pillsbury for the executors.
Judge Hastings died in 1893 and ever
since the heirs have been trying to secure a
settlement of the estate. The latter con-
sists chiefly of property on which there is
mortgage of SIS, 900, secured by note in
the Wells-Fargo Bank. There seems to be
no difference of opinion as to Judge
Hastings intentions regarding the prop
erty.
Mrs. Clara Catherwood, daughter of the
deceased Judge, testified yesterday that
she had spoken to her father about taking
up the note referred to and that he had
declined to do so, on the score that his
daughter would simply put another plas-
ter" on the property which it secured. But
witness said that he promised to leave the
property Gin such shape that the chill
dren would be benefited thereby"
Samuel M. Shortridge testified to similar
conversations with the deceased, and then
it seemed that there was nothing more to
be done. But the attorney for the execu-
tors wanted more time to file briefs, and in
spite of all representations of an imme-
date ruling from the bench or of brief
oral argument, the usual ''ten and ten
days were gained. The court, while depre-
eating any delay in settlement of the case,
could not but decide that the privilege of
filing briefs was within the rights of the
executors under the law.

PINERO'S NEW PLAY SCORED.
he Uses the Bible to Produce a Dramatic
ERent

hu6Obs
Pinero's new play 1.-THE Notorious Mrs,
Ebbsmith' has been severely scored by the
London critics As in THE Prohigate"
and "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray," it is
an attempt to reproduce peculiar stage
effect of intellectual drama and social
problem.
In the two earlier plays Pinero was care
full to support the stage effect with a SUBJ
stantial basis of ordinary dramatic mate
rial, but in ''The Notorious Mrs. Ebbsmith, !"
says the Saturday Review, s'the play is bad,
and the air of philosophy can only add to
its insufferableness."
Mrs. Ebbsmith is what is called "a plat
form. woman" She is the daughter of
secularist agitator, and after eight years of
married life she has emerged into widow
hood, and an active career as an agitator,
speaking from the platforms formerly
occupied by her father. Although
educated, well conducted, beautiful and
sufficiently powerful speaker to produce
great effect in Trafalgar square, she loses
her voice through starvation, and has to
fall back on nursing--a piece of fiction
which shows Pinero does not know any,
thing about the business of political agita-
ton in England.
However, the mistakes into which he
has been led by his want of practical &C.
qualntance with pontlcal agltators are
not of dramatic moment. But he has
made the deeper mistake of supposing
that the woman who speaks in public and
takes an interest in wider concerns than
those of her own household is special
variety of the human species, and that
there is something dramatic in the dis
covery that she has the common passions
of humanity.

Mrs. Gabrielle Fairfield of S15 Mission

AN EXCEPTION MADE.
Pictures of the Nude May Be Exhibited
in Studios or Halls OF
Art.

A revised draft of the proposed ordinance
prohibiting the dissemination of indecent
literature and displays OF pictures or prints
injurious to public morals will be presented
to the Board of Supervisors next Monday
by the Society for the Suppression of Vice.
The society accepted the criticisms from
artists upon It's first ordinance and will
now endeavor to correct its oversight by
the addition of fourth section, amending
the original order.
In the interest of art the human form
may still be painted, and irrespective of
dress its representation may be hung in
studios or rooms of an artist, or in halls of
art leagues or associations. If displayed
for an 'innocent and lawful purpose pic
lures of the nude cannot be molested But
the question may arise to puzzle lawyers,
what is innocent and lawful in this con-
nection.
The new section which amends the ordi-
nance is as follows:
Section a. Any person or persons who shall
put up in any public place any indecent, lewd
or obscene picture or character, representing
the human form in nude or semi-nude condi-
ton, excepting pictures on exhibition or in the
halls studios or rooms of an artist, art leagues
or art associations in the interest of art in all
its branches and for an innocent and lawful
purpose, or shall advertise by circulars or
posters any indecent, leWd or immoral snow,
play or representation, shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof
shall be fined not less than $25 nor more than
$500, or be confined in the County Jail not ex-
ceeding six months, or be punished by potn
fine and imprisonment.
Secretary Kane of the Society for the
Suppression of Vice stated yesterday that
his board of directors did not wish to ap-
pear as opposed to artists in their views on
the nude in art, but in drafting the ordi-
nance an omission was made, which has
been supplied in the section quoted.
