A HUSBANDS Mad PRANK.
Why Bigereau ElOped With Miss Ida
Anderson.
His Friends Declare the Woman Hyp'
Noticed Him and Held Him in
Complete Control.

The publication of the facts with refer
ence to the elopement of Alexander Bige-
reau, Palace Hotel waiter, and Ida An
derson, with whom he was intimate for
several years, developed additional infor-
nation concerning the couple yesterday.
"Bigereau was prominent member OF
several secret societies." said one of his
friends yesterday. "Since his residence
here he was variously known as Bigereau
and Bowman. He went by the former
name among those who knew his wife, and
as Bowman among those who regarded him
as a single man betrothed to Miss Ander-
son. There is abundant evidence that he
treated his wife cruelty, neglecting her so
that she was compelled to. go into service
in order to support her child. Bigereau
kept up his secret connection with the
Anderson woman without his wife's sus-
pecting it until the final catastrophe came"
Bigereau was very fond of sending notes
to his wife explaining why he could not be
at home such and such night. There was,
he explained, a banquet at the Palace,
where his services were required, or he was
needed to give eclat to the force of walters
at some club or other, all of which events
kept him employed into the wee sma
hours of the morning. He would then
seek Miss Anderson and pass his time IN
her company.
81 never suspected that there was mys-
terry about this couple until a few days
age" remarked Mrs. Mclaughlin, keeper
of the lodging-house at 101 Minna street,
where Miss Anderson lived "Bigereau
passed under the name of Bowman here,
and represented to me that he was en-
gagged to Miss Anderson. She was most
extravagant in her expressions of love for
him. and her demonstrations frequently
excited remarks among the dodgers. 1t
was remarkable how completely she ruled
him, and when | compare her with Mrs.
Bigereau l am at loss to explain what he
could see in her to admire. | think she
must have hypnotized him."
Miss Anderson is described by those
who know her as TALL slender woman of
Swedish extraction, who sought to render
plain features beautiful by the practice of
all those little devices familiar to woman
kind. She knew that Bigereau possessed
money and property, and it is the opin-
ion of those who knew her that her aim
was to get possession of that.
The police of Salt Lake City have been
notified of the affair, and a search for the
couple is being made there. If they are
found they will be arrested and returned
to this city. In the meantime Secretary
McComb of the Humane Society is pre-
pairing to take charge of Mrs. Bigereau's
sons, whose support she is at present un-
able to undertake.

A NEW SAVINGS BANK ACT.
It Will Enhance the Powers Of the
Commissioners.
Will Also Strengthen the Banks and
Give the Public More
Security.

The Bank Commissioners want their
hands strengthened, in order to have more
power to deal with the savings banks. In
order to do this Commissioner Magee has
prepared a bill to be presented to the Legis-
lature which amends the Board of Bank
Commissioners act in many important
particulars. When it goes into effect it
will have a tendency to siren CITIZEN all
banks, and will make the managers do GER
tain things that will tend to give the pub
lie greater confidence in these institutions.
AS things are at present, any one can
start savings bank if he can only get
the requisite number of people to subscribe
the capital 1t is not necessary to have the
capital paid up, SO that an institution of
that kind could be started with only 500 IN
the treasury and the remainder to be called
for when wanted.
The new bill changes all that. Accord
ing to its provisions no corporation shall
use the name or transact the business OF
savings bank without license. No bank
shall be incorporated in a town OF 5000 IN
habitants without a capital stock OF 250OOi
in town of 10000 inhabitants the capital
stock must be $4,000; in one OF q, 600 IN
habitants, 100000, and over 25,0O0 in
habitants, 100000. Further, it must be
proved to the satisfaction OF the Bank
Commissioners that all the capital has
been subscribed and that at least 80 per
cent of it has been paid up before license
will be issued.
Before the declaration of dividend one
tenth of the net profits must be carried to a
surplus or reserve fund, and in this way 1t
is hoped to lay up surplus for rainy
day.
The use of the word .bank" by any per-
son or corporation without certificate is
made misdemeanor. Any one who uses
the word on signs, in advertisements, letter
heads, circulars, etc., shall forfeit for. each
day the offense is continued the sum OF
$100. This clause is aimed at the numer-
Gus collateral banks and pawnshops who
use the word ''bank" in their signs and bill
heads. When the bill becomes law the
Commissioners will first warn all these
places, and if the warning is not needed the
offenders will be prosecufed

Mrs. Martin having to some extent col
laborated. She has studied her emotional
role till she feels perfect in it, and the
other preparations are progressing rapidly.
In all probability the heroine of the ''Mar-
tin VIII Case" will make her debut as an
actress early in March.
All the characters are drawn from life,
and most of them are still in the flesh and
will be able to go and look at themselves
upon the stage if they want to. The man
who plays the wicked mans part will bear
such resemblance to a well-known citizen
of San Francisco that no one will have any
difficulty in recognizing him; neither will
the audience have to do any guessing as to
who sat for the portraits of the triumphant
hero, the comic characters, the judges and
the jury.
81 really did not wish to say anything
about it till the posters were out, said
Mrs. Martin when questioned on the SUBJ
ject yesterday. However if Mr.. O'Connell
consents to my giving an outline of the
plot 1 am willing to do so.

speech will not be very long, for that
would weary people, but Mr.. O'Connell
has made it very telling, and 1 shall have

scene. Don't you think this would be a

drew herself into dramatic attitude, with
her right hand stretched out command

A visit to the hill proves how well adapted
that old landmark is for a natural resort,
and what small effort could make it a
grand lookout station for the city.
From its summit one can see the CLEAN
of the ocean through the open Golden Gate
and the broad level of the bay below. The
green hills of seven counties sweep
around the horizon from point to
point, view grand and unsurpassed.
The observatory building, with its tur-
rets and mural ornamentation, while show
ing evidences of decay on its exterior, has
been cared for, and even the colored win
dows are in good repair. Down under the
sidewalk in front of the ediice is the fur
mace and engine that ran the cable which
hauled the two cars to the top of the hill,
when Telegraph Hill was crowded with
visitors. The two cars have lain quiet in
the Howard-street roundhouse for many
years. The stone and cement wall that
was erected around the parapet of the hill
has fallen in many places and great masses
of masonry are in danger of rolling down
on the buildings at the foot of the slope.
1t is not known what will be the full ex-
tent of the improvements which the own
ers will make in the building, but they are
well aware that no great outlay Will put the
place in perfect repair, and give to the city
a unique place of observation.
