FREEMAN'S FUN MAKERS
Refuse to Stand by the Contracts of Their Ad- vance Agent and Are Catching 1t
 From Various Quarters.

The advance advertising agent of Free mans fun makers, it is said, perpe- trated fraud on a number of business men this week. The merchants claim that the agent requested permission to post display bills in the windows and offered complimentary tickets to the perform ance as an exchange of courtesy. When asked for the tickets. it is said that the agent informed the storekeepers that the tickets would be furnished them on ap- plication at the box office when the com pany reached She city. Yesterday after noon some of the merchants applied for the tickets, according to the agreement, but the tickets were refused.
 A State Herald reporter called at the opera house and asked an explanation or the report from representative Of the company and from Manager Thiess of the opera house. The former denied knowledge of the affair and repudiated the action. He told the reporter that the posters were sent here and exhibited by the local men of the opera house.
 Manager Thiess, however, emphatically denied that the display bills were dis tributed with the merchants by anyone connected with the opera house, but in- sisted that the transaction was that of the lithographer of the company. Said he: "The opera house had nothing what ever to do with it, and when the propo- sition was first preached to me I protest ed against 1t then Just as earnestly as 1 now deny any connection or responsibil- ity for the affair on behalf of myself and those who are associated with me. I thought that settled the matter and didn't know that the lithographer had made the trade until the parties applied for their tickets at the box office. We are no more responsible for this than we would be for the sharp dealing of any stranger coming to the city"

 Key West Fla, Dec. 6.-The revenue cutter Winona, Captain Abbey, left here Tuesday afternoon last under orders of the collector of customs to visit Cape Sable. it having been reported that a large party of Cubans were camped there waiting an opportunity to go over to Cuba. She returned this afternoon about 1 o'clock. having captured several thous- and rounds of ammunition, several hun dred rifles and mechates. large quan- tity of dynamite. fuses and other sup plies of a military character. At the camp were three unknown men and a young man by the name of Domingo Fernandez, who was badly crippled his feet being terribly lacerated and swollen. They were brought to the city on the Winona. The others of the party had evidently taken to the woods on the ap- proach of the cutter, as the camp looked as if 1t had just been vacated. The Gu bans in this city are much excited over the affair and some groups of men are to he seen on all corners discussing the matter.

numbers. The arrangement of the studies
is based upon the theory of actual anthem
ITCHY. Upon this Jouliin naturally prides
himself and the working out of the theory
prevents putting Turkish fez on an Irish
man or an Arabian. burn Gus around an
Indian squaw.
Besides this, so far as is possible, the
nationality of the model fits the costume.
The model now posing is burly Algerian
negro. In figure he is powerful and SPLEEN
didly developed, while his costume is
accurate in every detail. II he does not
feel at home in it it is because he has sue
cumbed to the eonyentionalities of Chris
tian civilization and not because he is not
clothed in his native garb
This scheme is followed out with all the
models. If Turkish study is required a
Turk is found to pose and the plan con-
tinued to the extent of possibilities.
Four times a week the costume class
meets, and between times they may or
may not continue work on their studies.
The correct and artistic representation of
drapery, it's folds, lights, color and quality,
is the aim of the class, and, according to
Joullin, the end of the term will show that
the pupils have done good work and are,
so far as artistic correctness goes, as strong
as any class in the school.
The three studies reproduced were Sc
lected as representative of the work being
done, ana as showing 1alrly the apprOprl-
ateness and correctness of the costumes
their selection does not mean that other
workers in the class are not doing equally
good work.
Miss Maren M. Froelich's Buddhist
Student" is representative of that young
ladys work in oil and is especially good.
Miss E. F. Van Wrinkles Turkish Study"
is also strong and well handled, as is Miss
A. B. Johnson's Armenian Study" Miss
Shoemaker and Miss M. J. r. MeElroy
also promise to show strongly at the end
of the term.
Taken altogether the costume class is
doing strong work, and there is little
doubt that if they follow out the promise
of the work being done now Mr.. Joullin
will at the end of the term have good
cause to be proud of his pupils.

Olympic Club Boys Will Not Have a
Chance of Seeing New York.
The boxers of the Olympic Club are very
much put out, because their chances of
visiting New York are now of the poorest
Herman Oelrichs, the gentleman who had
tried so hard to bring about a meeting of
the boxers representing the New York
Athletic Club and the Olympic Club of this
city, said yesterday that he had just re-
ceived letter from particular friend in
New York conveying the information that
boxing of any kind was now prohibited in
New York, and that any person detected
even in the act of arranging boxing matches
would be punished.
Therefore New York is out of question,
but an effort will be made to bring the
New Workers and the Olympic boxers to-
gether in Boston, and correspondence
with that end in view is now going on.

GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP.
To-Day Will Be the Close of the
Events Which Are to Be
Shot Off.

WILLARD PARK, PATERSON, n. j.,
April 4.-Seldom ever before has a live
bird otsbrought together so many de-
voices of Nimrod as did the grand Ameri-
can handicap on these grounds to-day.
In the interstate affairs and Dealers Asso-
citation Horace White of Syracuse, N. Y,
j. B. Ellison and Ed Nolan of Sehita
failed to come to their marks when called
at the end of the second round this morn
ing and were declared out of the race.
These scratches left fifty-eight men in
the field when Referee Jake Pentz called
the event at 1915 A. NJ. The weather was
everything that could be wished for. There
were about 1900 spectators present. The
birds were nearly all blue rocks. Many of
them proved to be very tricky and, as the
score will show, not a few of them man
aged to eyade both barrels of many a crack
in the first round, and the veteran anna
teur, Captain Money, missed his first two,
which were rapid right-quarterers.
Ten rounds were shot off when time was
called and eleven men standing with
straight scores. These were Clark, Brewer,
Edgerly, Thomas, WINS, Messner, Glass,
Apgar, Henry, Elliott and Kelsey.
Three misses debarred shooter from
taking any further part in the handicap,
and at the close of the days sport there
were Just fifteen unlucky ones who had to
stand down.
Those who are now out of the grand
handicap are: A. S. White, T. s. Duston,
w. L. Ingersoll, George Work, T. s..
Edam, John w. Hoffman, J. A. Jones, F.
G. Moore, Phil DAILY Jr., E. L. Post, f. E.
Bennett, F. D. Schwartz, Charles Lennon,
J. II. Outwater and II. S. Young.
The handicap shoot will be resumed to-
morrow morning, and it may be possibly
finished in the afternoon.
When the sport was adjourned last even
ing the sportsmen's handicap was left I'M
finished.
There were forty -four entries and when
the seventh round was completed twenty
men had tied for first place with seven
straight kills to their credit. They then
began to shoot off "miss and out" and
when there were only seven left they
agreed to divide the cash, which amounted
to 1920.
The Highlands stakes was then begun,
but at the call of time this evening six
rounds had been shot and the stakes will
be finished tomorrow. There were forty
two entries for this event.

THE GREAT RELAY RACE,
Seven Clubs Entered in the
Annual Event of the
CyClers.
Positions Of the Riders of Relays.
Fast Time Will Be
Made.

The third annual 1oo-mile relay race run
by the wheelmen of this coast is the great
event to which all cyclists hereabouts are
looking forward for next Sunday. There
are seven clubs entered this year, three
from this city, two from Oakland and two
from San Jose.
Yesterday was the last day when entries
would be received, and all questions as to
who the riders for the different clubs would
be and their positions on the teams are
answered by the following entries, which
are final and cannot be changed except in
case of severe illness:
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-04-05

The colors by which the different clubs
can De distinguished will be as follows:
Bay City Wheelmen, old gold and crimson;
Garden City Cyclers, gold and black; Acme
Club Mheelmen, red and black; Olympic
Club Mheelmen, red and white; Reliance
Club Wheelmen, maroon and white star;
California cycling Club, olive green and
orange; San Jose Road Club, green.
1t will be apparent to those Acquainted
with the personnel of these teams that the
race lies between the Acme Club Wheel
men, the Garden City Cyclers and the Bay
City Wheelmen. While the other four
clubs all have excellent men entered, the
best talent is represented in the clubs
named. The olympics were handicapped
at the last moment by two of their best
men meeting with accident, so that two
others had to be substituted. The San
Jose Road Clubs team will surprise many
by the speed they will show, particularly
at the finish with Champion Otto Ziegler
fighting it out for them.
The race starts in this city Sunday morn
ing promptly at 9 clock, and the finish
will be in East Oakland about five hours
later.

A definite critical edition of Dante has

A definite critical edition of Dante has
been undertaken by the Societa Dantesca
d'Ttalia, the first based on the collection of
all accessible manuscripts. As nearly 600
manuscripts of the divine comedy are
known to exist, the labor will be enormous.
In its publication, the Giornale Dantesco,
the society assumes as settled certain ques-
tons: 1.-THE historical reality of Beatrice,
now admitted almost generally; the date
long to the first years of the last decade of
the thirteenth century; the supposition
that some part of the sConvito' was written
before Dante's exile, now shown to be
without foundation; the composition of
the DE Monarchia, now generally held to
be later than that of the other minor
works.
