CROCKER'S
SAN FRANCISCO
DIRECTORY.

We intend to publish Directory of this
city, which for accuracy, completeness and
fine appearance has not had its equal in
former years.
For week we have had forty canvassers
at work. canvassing for names, addresses,
subscriptions and advertisements, all of
them experienced men-most of them hav-
ing worked for years on the old directory.
We have engaged Mr.. W. H. i. CoRRAN
as Manager and Compiler, who for fourteen
years held the same position on Langley's
Directory. This book will embrace
thorough and complete canvass of the City;
a new Revised Street Guide, and a carefully
arranged Classified Business Directory,
eliminating errors of years standing; and
many new and valuable features.
1t will be printed from new type entirely,
on the finest paper; the best presswork, and
strongly and handsomely bound. All
advertisements will appear in our usual
artistic style.
regardless of expense, as we wish to issue
it the earliest possible moment, and intend
to be the first out.
This directory will be published from
year to year, no matter how many others
may be started. We hare come to stag.
We trust the public will afford our can
vassers all the aid they can, by giving them
correct information as to names, addresses,
etc. Also that they will be liberal with
subscriptions and advertisements, as on these
to great extent depends the success of
the undertaking.

walked unexpectedly toward the con-
ductor's stand, when suddenly from all
sides he was attacked with volley of
flowers, which his fair performers hurled
at him with yigor.
The conductor did not attempt to pelt
back. He simply bowed, and smiled his
thanks at the delicate attention, while the
orchestra and the audience applauded
vigorously.
With the exception of few vocal num-
bers the programme was composed en-
tirelv of stringed music of an unpreten-
tious character, and it was apparent very
early in the concert that Scheel had
wrought great change in the musical
standard of the Saturday Morning Orches-
ira. The rendering of the different works
was pretty, graceful and at times really
artistic.
No one expected to hear the girl per-
formers play like professionals, but their
work was as much marked by musicianly
feeling as it was by the utter absence of
blatancy.
In former years when the orchestra,
composed of brass and reeds as well as
strings, courageously attacked standard
works, the audience applauded the per-
formers.
Last night the music captured a good
deal of well-deserved praise. The vocalist,
Miss Jeanette Wilson, is an amateur with
a voice of enough power to fill the Audito
rum easily. She received a good deal of
applause as well as numerous floral trib-
utes. Scheel also was presented with
wreaths and flowers.
The programme included works by Volk-
man, Tschaikowski, Svendsen, Reinecke,
Gregh, Bach, Gounod, Thadewaldt, Mas
cagni, ssBoccherini and Scheel A string
quartet also played Won WeinZerPs
have been a number of encores had Scheel
allowed them.
He resisted the applause, however,
though he did yield to the demand to re-
peat the intermezzo from the "Cavalleria
Rusticana, arranged for orchestra with
vocal solo.
The proceeds of the concert were for the
incurable ward of the Children's Hospital

them with the crime, he was strongly i'm
pressed with the belief that Fraser was the
robber who fired the shot at him.
Conductor Crouch's car was stopped on
Hyde street. near Clay, week ago Sunday
night by masked robbers, who relieved him
of SIS and his gold watch. He would not
swear as to the identity of any of them,
but believed they were the guilty ones.
Last night Conductor B. f. Carnan of
the Union-Street car that was held up by
two masked robbers between Franklin
street and Van Ness avenue on the night
of December 6, visited the City Prison.
Although morally certain that Wilson was
the tall robber who presented the revolver
at him, as he closely resembled him in
build and speech he would not positively
swear to it. The robbers were scared off
by the energetic actions of young lady
passenger before they got any money.
While being scrutinized, Wilson, Frazer
and Smith kept all the time Sinking and
smiling as if it was all huge joke. Will
son was particularly brazen in his manner,
and kept talking about getting a square
trial. His wish will be gratitied.
The boy MarSon was not implicated in
any of the burglaries or robberies and he
declares that if he gets out of this scrape
he will go straight home to Los Angeles
and stay with his mother.
There is still another victim to be heard
from. T. H. Wulzen, grocer on Twenty
third and Fair Oaks streets, was held up in
his store by three masked robbers with
guns last Wednesday night. While two
covered him with their guns the third
emptied the till of its contents, about SIS.
There were a tall man and two short men.
He will call at the prison this morning to
see if he can identity Wilson, Smith or
Fraser.
The police are satisfied that these three
were the men who broke into Julius L.
Franklin's house, 1880 California street,
last Friday morning. Owing to the low
condition of Miller, the butler who was so
brutally beaten by the burglars, it will be
some days yet before they can be taken out
to him TO see if he can identify them.
Policemen Ryan and Moriarty are work
ing steadily on the case gathering evidence
against the prisoners, and they may have
some important information to impart to-
day. There is now sufficient evidence to
charge Wilson, Smith and Fraser with
holding up the Jackson street car and
robbing Grocer White of his gold watch.

where they were rooming, and it is sup
posed his real name is Cornelius Church.
The gold watch forcibly taken from J.
H. White, the grocer, on Franklin and Bush
streets, on Friday night was recovered by
Detective Dan Coffey in the pawnshop, II
Fourth street, yesterday. The description
of the person who pawned it on Saturday
answered that of Wilson, but the pawn
broker will call at the prison this morning
to have a look at him. 1t will be remem-
bered that Wilson offered to sell the watch
in McNaIly & Rodgers saloon, I'll Howard
street, late on Friday night, but he was
unable to find purchaser. He got SIS on
it from the pawnbroker, but it is worth $40
About noon yesterday Gripman Dowd and
Conductor Whitton OF the Jackson-street
cable-car that was held up on Saturday
night Witte, the grocer, and Benjamin
Jackman, who saw the three robbers in
Witte s store, visited the prison to have a
look at the four youths. They were brought
from their cells and lined up before their
victims.
Witte was the first to speak. He put his
hand on Fraser's shoulder and said,

MRS. Helm GOES OUT.
One Widoro of a Confederate Not HonOred
by the Democracy.

One Widoro of a Confederate Not Honored
by the Democracy.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-Franklin w. Jop-
lin was appointed Postmaster to-day at
Elizabethtown, KY, vice Mrs. Benjamin
Helm. The circumstances surrounding
the case make it one of unusual interest.
General Ben Hardin Helm, the husband of
Mrs. Helm, was one of the most gallant
soldiers in the Confederate army. He was
the commander of the famous Orphans
Brigade and was killed at the battle of
Chickamauga. Mrs. Helm, the. Postmistress
who was removed to-day, was younger
sister of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln, who was
Tod. Colonel Bob Lincoln was her
nephew, and when he was appointed Sec
rotary of War by President Garfield he Sc
cured his aunt's appointment as Post
mistress at Elizabethtown. That position
she has held through three administra-
tions-Arthur' CleYeland's and Harri-
sons.
Although an effort was made to have
Mrs. Helm removed during Mr. Cleve-
lands first term, it was not urgently
pressed and was unsuccessful. The APP
pointment of Franklin W. Joplin to-day
was made on the recommendation OF Rep
resentative Montgomery.

was the object of discussion by the Senate
Committee on Finance to-day, notwith-
standing that it has not yet been intro
duced in the Senate or the preparation of
it even completed. 1t is understood that
the Republican members of the committee
manifest a somewhat stronger interest in
the question of reorganization of the
finances, and this interest was displayed,
among others, by Senator Sherman, who
made certain suggestions for the improve
ment of the bill, bearing especially upon a
portion providing for a bond issue and
looking to the maintenance of the parity
of the Governments various kinds of cur
rency. The Democratic members were en-
couraged to some extent by the interest
displayed by their political opponents.

The will of James Wheeland, late mem
Der of the firm of Wheeland & Collins, was

The Auditorium never looked so at

concert of the Saturday Morning Orchestra
took place. The platform was mass of
tall, graceful palms, and the pale blue shell,
cleaning with electric lights, formed a
very effective background ior the girl
performers.
When the young lady performers en-
tered and took their places each carried a
bouquet of violets. Scheel followed, and

titled Wilson as one of the two other rob-
bers. Jackman pointed out Smith as the
robber who was standing outside the store
and showed a revolver in his face when
White yelled to him to come and help him.
son as the tall robber who jumped on his
car. He had good look at him, as the
handkerchief which covered his face
dropped down when he made the
jump on the car, and he forgot to pull it
up again till he stepped off the dummy.
Conductor Whitton was not so positive
about Fraser and Smith, who relieved him
of 81 50, as their faces were covered with
the handkerchief, but their hats and gem
eral appearance were the same.

on the evening Of November 10, M. A..
Jewett, United States Consul at Sivas,

disturbances which had taken place at
Sivas, eight hundred Armenians and
ten Turks had been killed, and that ac-
cording to official reports large body Of
Turks we're then approaching the town
Jewett gave no details OF the disorders,

Convicted Of Pension Fraud.

Mrs. Mary Henderson, Of Tallapoosa
county, Ala, aged about 20 years, was
convicted OF pension fraud in the fod-
cral court at montgomery, Ala, Satur'
day. Her first husband was a Mexi-
can veteran, and she has been drawing
a pension since his death, years ago.
Two years since she married again, but
continued to draw the pension, hence
the conviction. She was fined 81 900,
which means to her imprisonment for
many years. The venerable grand
mother, with her wrinkled face buried
in a cotton hand &c chief as white as
her hair, was q pitiful spectacle in the
courtroom.
