A LETTER FROM MARE ISLAND
A Colonel Who Was So Unfortunate
as to Have TWO Assasslns
on His Staff.

Army officers are usually reticent in the
expression of opinion concerning lack of
discipline in the service, but many of
them have positive opinions on the sub
iect of the Fifteenth Infantry. They as
sert that there is something wrong in the
management of that regiment. An officer
of high rank in this department said in
commenting on the latest sensation from
Fort Sheridan:
"The regiment should be taken in hand
by colonel who cannot be trifled with.
The right kind of man at the head of the
regiment would not have drunken officer
around the garrison. Whisky seems to
have caused most of the trouble in the
Fifteenth, and drunkenness would not be
countenanced or tolerated by command
ing officer of firmness and executive abil-
ity."
Fort Sheridan, Chicago, seems to be the
scene of army scandals. Chicago as a city
should not present special temptations
tending to Gemoralize regiment. Yet
the Fifteenth Infantry has furnished so
many disturbances and inglorious scenes
that the impression is broadcast that regi-
mental decentralization is the cause of most
of the trouble. When an officer was killed
some two years ago and the cowardly Off
Ger who did the killing acquitted it was
thought in army circles that the regiment
would then be reorganized or transferred
to some other locality, but nothing of that
kind was done. In the light of the recent
attempt of Pague to kill Colonel Crofton
the commanding general will be i'm
PEELED by considerations of military ex-
pediency if not of public policy to under
take some regimental reform. 1t has been

the class OF plays that please the New
Workers, for the hits in that city would
hardly pass as second rate in San Fran
cisco.
Mr.. Harrison spent four hours with GEN.
tleman Jim Corbett and watched the pu-
gilist exercise. He said:
For four hours that man did work that would
Kill an ordinary person and he came out as
fresh as when he entered. All this talk about
Corbett dissipating and failing in his powers
Is all bosh. He is in finer condition than ever
and work with him is childs play. He wrestled
with McVeigh, who is giant in strength, and
played with the man, throwing .him whenever
he wished. During the breathing spells jim
boxed with his brother Joe. Then for an hour
he played hGndball and then put the gloves on
with O'Donnell. This man is fine specimen
OF the old-time priZefghter, but he is nowhere
when Corbett gets in front OF him. Corbett is
one and half inches larger around the chest
than he was when he lett San Francisco
eighteen months ago. His condition is simply
perfect and he is in splendid muscle from his
toes to the top of his head He is very regular
in his diet and habits, notwithstanding stories
TO the contrary.
Ny interest in him is not an interest in prize
fighting, but as demonstration OF the superb
ority OF man of agility and brains over one of
brute strength. Corbett has the head of q gen.
eral and can change his plan of attack in au
instant. His condition and performances show
what trained athlete with good head can do.
Mr.. Harrison had nothing to say of Fitz-
simmons nor any surmise as to when the
battle will take place.
Mr.. Harrison, it will be remembered,
telegraphed to The CALL some interesting
reports of the great international yacht
race. He witnessed the unfortunate foul
ing of the Defender by the Valkyrie Ill.
He says that the Defender is unmistak-
ably the better of the two racing machines.
He said that the New York clubmen are
divided in their opinions as to the stand
taken by Lord Dunraven in Withdrawing
from the contest. There were several
errors and blunders committed by all in
terested parties, and all were more or less
to blame for the race not being sailed
without friction. However, his lordship
is we'll received IS gentleman and yachts
man in all of the clubs.
1t was stated that the Valkyrie would be
sent back to England at once, but such is
not the case. Eastern yachtsmen have
prevailed upon Lord Dunraven to leave the
boat in New York and put her in the
series OF races next year. The latter has
consented 10 do so.
In speaking Of athletic sports in general
Mr.. Harrison said that about the first re-
mark made to him upon this subject was
by a gentleman who said: "Mr. Harrison,
assure you that whatever Englishmen
can do well Americans can do better"
The truth of this was proved later by the
yacht race, cricket matches and other
sports of an international character.
Most cordial receptions were extended to
Mr.. Harrison by the clubmen in the East,
and during his stay he had a most enjoy
able time so far as the gentlemen were
able to make it pleasant for him.

FOR THE THEATER-GOERs.
The Attractions to BE Presented In the
PIayhouses This Evening.

The Attractions to BE Presented In the
PIayhouses This Evening.
At the Baldwin this evening "Trilby"
will be offered. This play, that has hyp-
notism for its base, proved during the past
week most extraordinary attraction, and
in view of the amount of talk it has caused
it will surely ill the house this evening
and every evening during the week.
The performance at the Columbia to-
night will be for the benefit of the COM
bined German schools and it will consi ist
of an excellent programme, including an
instrumental and vocal concert and gym
nastlc exhibition, in which a number of
the German societies of this City will take
part.
Milton Mobiles will commence the third
week of his engagement in Morosco's
Grand Opera-house this evening and is to
present Bertha. the Sewing machine
GIRL" He will appear as Jack Ryder, a
character in which he has achieved great
reputation, and will be supported by the
full strength of the company.
"My Son-in-Law," a popular comedy
that takes rank with some of the most
mirth-provoking pieces that have of late
years been put upon the stage, will be
offered to the patrons of the Alcazar to-
night. In this comedy Leonard Grover Sr.
will make his temperance behind the
footlights.
ola Traviata" is on the bill of the Tiv-
oil Opera-house for this evening, and with
the principal singers, together with the
well-trained chorus, it will be an attractive
presentation. Ida Valerga will assume the
role of the unfortunate Violetta, and dur
ing the week Laura Millard will alternate
in this role.
There will be great bill at the Orpheum
this evening, one that will interest those
who nightly crowd the house. Murphy
and Mack, sketch artists recently arrived
from Australia, the renowned Schrode
Brothers, acrobats, and others will appear
IN specialties that are pleasing, and many
OF them very amusing.
There will be an attraction this evening
at the corner of Seventh and Mission
streets. 1t will be a pony and dog show
given by Professor Gentry, who has about
one hundred well trained animals. These
he will introduce to his audience, and
show how well they have been educated.
At Macdonough's Theater in Oakland
this evening the L. r. Stockwell Company
will open with 1.-THE Magistrate" giving
the people of the Athens of the Pacific who
have not yet seen this play an opportunity
to do so, and at the same time enjoy a
pleasant evening.

rical Discrimination and
Pugilism.
Corbett, as a Representative of
Trained Brain and Muscle,
Ought to Win.

William Greer Harrison has returned to
this City after an absence of seven weeks.
Most of the time was spent in New York
Although his absence from the Golden
West was short Mr.. Harrison met many
prominent people and witnessed many
interesting events, consequently when he
shook hands with his friends in the clubs
yesterday he was well primed with large
stock of information and gossip of other
people and incidents.
He spoke of Jim Corbett, of pugilistic
fame; of the great yacht race and the
trouble on the waters that caused Lord
Dunraven to furl his sails and have the
Valkyrie III towed back to port. Then
Mr.. Harrison spoke of his play, "Runny-
mede," that received chilly reception,
even during the heat of New York sum-
mer. The production of his play. Mr..
Harrison stated, was three weeks before
the opening of the season.
The whole affair was unfortunate. On the
first night it was as hot as pitch and raining in
torrents. Moreover Fred Warde had been sick
and those taking part in, in the play had not half
ceived the production with enthusiasm, sew
eral OF the newspaper critics assailed the play
with drawn swords and cut II TO pieces. Their
attacks were principally upon interpolated
lines the actors put In, in lieu of the lines they
failed to remember.
The attack of certain New York paper was
the outgrowth of an old grudge between the
dramatic editor and Fred Warde, growing out
Of a controversy between Warde and Harry Guy
Carleton, in which Ward stated that he would
not bribe the critic for favorable mention.
Mr. Harrison is very angry over the
treatment his play received in New York
and he pluckily exclaimed: ''Ill make a
play that New York will accept, for all that
no man from the West has ghost of a
show in New York. I'll have 'Runnv-
mede' on the road within two years. II
will yet be a success and New York will
acknowledge its success
Mr.. Harrison was greatly surnrised al

BISHOP WILSON PREACHED.
A Sermon by One of the Heads of the
Southern Methodist Denomina-
tion.


Yesterdays services at the Centenary
Methodist Church South were conducted
by Bishop A. w. Wilson of Baltimore,
who is in California to organize the con-
ference to be held in the southern part of
the State. TIE services were of special
significance in view of the fact that yester-
day was the end of the ecclesiastic year.
Bishop Wilson preached upon the rea-
tions between Christ and his disciples and
the attitude of the people toward him. He
took his text from the words of the Savior
when he questioned his apostles as to what
they and the world thought of him, and
from that point. when the Lord first re-
vealed something of his inner nature and
OF his destiny to his servants, the preacher
explained the significance of the Scriptures
in their account of the sufferings of Christ.
The prejudice and opposition which
Chrlsts teachings met with and the un-
fairness with which he was judged were
commented upon, and a parallel was
drawn between the sentiment among the
people then and that which obtains in this
day. The demands made by science upon
religion and the impossibility of explain
ing by mere reasoning power matters of in
spiration and revelation were also
spoken of.
The preacher closed with an appeal for
better understanding of the Lord and
more willingness to accept his teachings
without prejudice or skepticism.
Just before the benediction the pastor,
Rev. DIR. Briggs, asked the congregation to
clear away debts amounting to about $50,
so as to be able to show to the conference a
statement which bore no record of indebt-
ness. A collection yielded golden returns
and more than enough was easily secured.

DID any young gallant see fit to capture
and to kiss one of the dainty maids in the
costume of the fatherland he was hurried
at once to the parson, and while the bell
changed loudly he was married to her, and
she was given a marriage certificate for
which he paid. The bell pealed most of
the evening, and the girls carried stacks of
certificates to attest the gallantry of the
young swains IN knickerbockers.
During it all there was but little inter
mission in the dancing, and from o'clock
in the afternoon until II at night the ball
was througed. The fest committee was
composed of A. Schohan, president of the
vereln, Z: hamburg, F. Dobner, r. Riff
niger, J. Kump and R. Thoma.

G.. PANIZZL.

Gus, but the MUSIC is scarcely less difficult
to sing than grand opera. Most of the
performers in the new company are we'll
known in the Italian colony and have be-
fore been heard in LA Traviata, 1.-The
Barber" ETC., though few of them, such
as Miss Rose Adler, the soprano, and G.
Bertini the tenor, were debutahts on the
operate stage.
81 Falsi Monitari" belongs so much to
the old school that it was a complete
novelty to most of the audience last night,
but its pretty animated music and
clever Ebretto won it many admir-
ers before the end of the perform
ance. After q pleasing overture, which
Signor Martinez conducted, a band of
counterfeiters were discovered in the Gel
lars of a palace, out of which they had
succeeded in terrifying the inhabitants by
giving the impression that the place was
haunted.
The counterfeiters who formed a small
but effective chorus were led by the bari
tone lsidoro, who told in song of his love
for Annetta, a maiden who anon was led
on prisoner, but who spurnsd her captors
love and defed him to the extent of knock
ing his hat off his head, to all of which in
dignities the villain bowed meekly. The
second act showed the exterior of the
palace, which the tenor, who owned the
mansion, had offered to let "rent free" A
poverty-stricken poet and his wife saw the
announcement and gladly offered TO face
the. spooks in return for roof to cover
their heads. The finale shows how the
counterfeiters, after terrifying thepoet out
OF his seven senses in the small hours of
the mourning, were seized by the military.
u. Almagia made.an excellent leader of
counterfeiters, his appearance was most
romantic and brigand-like and his singing
was very effective, particularly in the mar
ket scene, where he warned the poet of the
terrors that awaited him in the palace.
Miss Rose Adler sang prettily and acted
with great spirit as Annetta. If she would
cultivate what textbooks speak of as
"diaphragmatic'' breathing she would
overcome her present tendency to raise her
shoulders with every respiration, an action
that grows monotonous to the behoIders
and will, if INDUCED in, weaken her really
sweet and flexible voice. The tenor, G..
Bertini, had not the good fortune to please
his hearers, as his lady-love, Annetta, did
His voice was not lacking in power, but it
was unsympathetic and was apt to wander
far off the key.
That bravo artista," G. Panizza, was
in his element as the despairing poet. His
singing belongs as much to the old Italian
school as II Falsi Monetari" ITSELF and
though his voice has lost some of it's pris-
tine freshness, it has lost none of its art
His acting was as finished and easy as his
singing, and the hearty applause he
aroused was well deserved. SigDora Ber-
nardi also sang and acted excelently as
| the poets wife. Their scene in the market
place, where the sight of the viands for
sale aroused them to despairing hunger
was an especially clever bit of comic act
were well filed by A. Grella, F. Bianchi
and q Ghenfra

He HAD LARSEN'S KNIFE.

The Police Discover a CIew to a Recent
Robbery.
A. l.. Conlan was charged at the Central
Police station last night with drunken
ness.
An open knife was found in Conlan' s
pocket.
On one side of the knife was the inscrip-
tion, H. J. Larsen, Belvedere, Cali
ftornla," while on the reverse side was a
baby's picture at one end and a double
team with driver at the other.
Nearly two months ago a man by the
name of Larsen was robbed of $15 and q
knife, and the police now think that
Conan may have had something TO do
with that affair.
