FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN
A Dainty Bazaar Presided Over
by Seven Diminutive
Misses.
Successful Consummation of Gener.
Gus Idea Whereby Charity Will
Reap Benefit.

Seven little maidens heard of the hun
dreds of motherless children for whom
charitable people are trying to make a
home and of the scores who cannot be
cared for because of an absence of that
very elusive commodity called money, and
their hearts went out to the homeless
waifs They decided that there must be
some way in which little girls could nelp,
so they put their heads together and
planned and planned. The result of their
deliberations was one OF the prettiest little
bazaars imaginable.
When the idea of having fair to help
the homeless orphans was broached by. the
little ladies to their mammas OF fcourse there
was but one thing to do, and that was to
give ready assent and plenty OF encour-
agement. Mrs. Adolph Son donated the
basement of her commodious residence at
2i24 Broadway, and yesterday afternoon
was the time determined upon for the fair.
Yesterday morning the little ladies were
as busy as butterflies. Mrs. Son and Miss
Son assisted with advice in the decora-
tons. and as a result of taste, energy and
an artistic arrangement OF colored paper
the rooms were transformed into verl-
table fairy bower This effect was height
ened by the fitting about in the subdued
light of the dainty little misses.
There was a small admission fee charged,
but 1t was to the booths mainly that the
little ladies looked for proceeds. And in
this they were not disappointed. The
first booth to the left on entering the main
room was occupied by Gertrude Joliffe,
who dispensed lemonade from behind a
gaily decorated counter.
Mabel Hoge and Florence Cole sold
fancy-work from a dainty-little bower
draped with red. The candy booth was
decorated in yellow and gold, and here
Helen Son and Vesta Shortridge dealt in
sweetmeats, to the edifcation of their
young patrons, and the substantial BEN
ett of charity. Blanche Son and Rosebud
Hecht had charge of the tov booth, which
was covered with a pink canopy.
The patrons of the bazaar commenced to
arrive shortly after 1 O'Clock and the
rooms were well crowded until about 4.
Most of the visitors were little ones. who
patronized the booths right literally, but
there were many older people who dropped
in during the afternoon to gaze on the
pretty scene and sample the wares on sale:
As result OF the fair quite substantial
sum was realized which will be donated
TO the Nursery for Homeless Children.

broken dishes is all that remains to tell
of the midnight visitor.
WOULD SHELL THE CITY
An Intoxicated English Nobleman who
Lost Money on an Actress Makes
Dire Threats.

Dire Threats.
San Francisco's stock of foreign nobility
has been strengthened in the person OF a
son of an English marquis.
The name of this foreign nobleman, as
far as could be ascertaned last night
trusting to a police-station docket as
authority. was N. Feldman, but that he
was an Englishman there could be no
doubt from the accent which enveloped
his sp eech.
Feldman arrived in this City from
New Orleans last Thursday and after
days rest started out to see the town,
finally winding up IN Kearny-street re-
sort. He made the acquaintance OF Miss
Eva Starr, variety actress, and spent
money lavishly upon her.
In the course OF few hours Feldman
had spent about $50 and was laboring
under a severe attack of alcoholism, so he
took wise view of things and went to
bed. But when he woke up yesterday
morning he disc overed that he was minus
gold watch, valued at 5000, and purse
which he alleges contained about 500 in
coin and few trinkets.
A warrant was Immediately sworn out
by the noblemac, and the young actress
with whom he had been in company was
placed under arrest and lodged IN the CALI
fornia-street station.
In making his departure from the sta
tion Feldman turned haughtily to the po-
lice sergeant at the desk.
IF you bloomin' boobies don't give me
satisfaction out of this case / will report
it to the captain of British man-of-war.
which will soon arrive in this harbor,"
said he. "And when he finds out that
am telling the truth he will shell this ere
bloomin' City and blow it off the bloody
EARTH"
He was Immediately informed that if he
did not make a hasty exit he would be
placed in the cell next to his lady friend
on a charge of drunk"
He took the advice and made his depart
ure without waiting to take surveys of San
Francisco for a shelling.

PARRISH RESIDENCE ENTERED.
Daring Attempt to Plunder a House
on Pierce Street in the Early
Morning.

The residence of Ellis II. Parrish of the
Goodyear Rubber Company was entered
yesterday morning by burglar, who man
aged to make his ESCAPE through the pam
try window. Mr.. Parrish and wife occupy
the lower fiat at 7o3 Pierce street, near Nc
Allister. The upper fiat is occupied by NJ.
ID. Stein. the superintendent Of the Mar
ket-street Railroad Company.
About o'clock yesterday morning Mr..
Stein was awakened by vigorous pound
ing on the rear door of his home. On
opening the door he was confronted by the
servant, CIR. employed by the Parishes.
She was in o highly excited state and
trembling with fear. After some difficulty,
she told Mr.. Stein that burglar was rob-
bing the house below, and that she had
fed upstairs to get away from him.
Mr.. Stein Immediately went downstairs,
where he met Mr.. and Mrs. Parrish, who
had been awakened by the noise and con-
fusion. On inspection it was found that
the man had gained an entrance throug h
the pantry window by cutting away the
wire screen. After carefully doing this the
man reached inside and took each dish
down separately and laid it upon the walk.
crawled inside, and, opening the door lead
ing into the kitchen, CROPPED his way in the
darkness. He had apparently put his
hand into some sticky substance, for the
walls showed his dirty fngermarks in a
great many places as if he was feeling his
way around.
Coming to a door he opened it and went
inside, closing it after him. 1t proved to
be the servants room, and she was awak-
ened by him.
She Immediately commenced screaming,
and the man. finding that he was dis
covere d, turned about and started to make
his escape. He dashed out of the room
and back into the pantry, locking the
door behind him and crawling through
the window by which he had entered and
made good his escape. The girl kept up
her screaming and ran to the door leading
into the hall. Finding it locked she
rushed out the back way and up the stairs
to the fat occupied by Mr. Stein.
Mr.. Parrish, having been awakened by
the noise, came rushing out and heard the
man as he ratified the dishes in his hasty
flight through the pantry window.
After lighting the electric lights and go
ing over the house to see If the burglar
had taken anything he went out on the
front porch. A policeman noticing the
commotion came up and questioned the
girl, who said that she was positive that
She could identify the man if she ever set
eyes on him again. He wore slouch hat
and shabby dark suit. and held dark
lantern in his hand. The policeman said
that he had noticed man answering that
description hanging about the streets in
that vicinity.
Mr.. Parrish made a thorough inspec-
ton Of the house, but could see that the
