Holiday-street Theater in Baltimore The
poem, written by a son of MARYLAND,
within sight of the battle fields won by the
citizen soldiers of Maryland, with the
sound of their victorious cannon still ring
ing in his ears, not only thrilled through
the souls of his brethren but has since
swelled from millions of voices, and its
grand mission is to continue.
That monument must be built, and Cali
fornia, the only State in the Union which
holds public memorial of Francis Scott
Key, is asked to help in its erection.
Doubtless; but for the wise beneficence of
James Lick, to whom our Golden Gate
Park is indebted for its splendid reminder,
the story of the flag itself would not be half
as well known and appreciated as it is by
our ardent, fag-loving, fiag-revering boys
and girls of the public schools. To them
then-the patriots of the future-as we'll as
to the generous adult citizens of San Fran
cisco, does the Key Monument Association
appeal for an appropriation to its monu-
ment fund
Already the school-children of some of
the Eastern States are working with the
zeal and enthusiasm of their Young and
glowing souls, but it is California, "the
land of sunshine, fruit and iowers"-Cali-
fornla, the land so peerlessly hospitable to
demonstrations of pure patriotism and so
generously responsive to any just demand
made upon her-that must not disappoint
this plea A design for the monument is
submitted by young California artist as
an evidence of the loving goodwill, which
is pure patriotism, that stretches across
the continent from the youthful giant
California-to historic old Maryland.

William J. Dean, alias Farrow, the coun-

locked up for passing counterfeit $40 bills,
was yesterday brought over from San

women's quarters upstairs, while Dean oc-
/ cupleS the place known as 1.-The corridor
! the same as a number of other prisoners.
He is shown no favors, but on his arrival
| was allowed for few moments to see his

trial is concluded in the United States
court.

which formerly run on the stretch of track

There is an increased activity among

more meeting of the Good Government
Club before nominations will be made, and
as the club was not in existence two years
ago, each one of its candidates will have
to file a petition and certificates of nomina-
ton thirty days before election, which will
occur on April 8.
The. Harmony Hall convention will not
be called until after the Good Government
Club names its nominees. There will
most likely be action taken at the next
meeting of the Good Government Club to
pledge candidates coming before that body
not TO run should they be defeated for the
nomination. Such a move Will not be
greeted pleasantly by some of the candi-
dates, who have expressed determination
to stand for election whether they are
nominated or not. The club has mem
bership of about 1900, which is about half
the voting strength of the city.

THE BARK HESPER IN PORT.
Arrival of the Not orious Mutiny Vessel
of the South Seas.

of the South Seas.
The bark Hesper, Captain Sodegren,
arrived yesterday afternoon, nineteen days
from Honolulu. This is the notorious
vessel upon which the first mate, Fitzger-
aid, was murdered by the mutinous crew
several years ago in the South Pacific.
The crime was the result of a conspiracy
on the part of the seamen to kill Captain
Sodegren and his wife, as well as the
officers of the bark, and embark on career
of piracy.
Mrs. Sodegren heard the cries of the
mate as one of the murderers cut him
down with hatehet, and she giving the
alarm the work of butchery was stopped
The ringleaders, Sinclair, Sparff, Green
and Hansen, were arrested and sent from
Tahiti on the Tropic BIRD to San Francisco
by the French authorities for trial.
Green turned States evidence, and the
other three were sentenced to be hanged
They are now confined in San Quentin
prison, and their cases are before the
United States Supreme Court.
The Hesper sailed for Sydney, but tales
of trouble between the officers and crew
were told in almost every port she visited.
In Honolulu a few months ago the crew
refused to remain in the vessel and were
confined in prison for insubordination.

The oil steamer Bawnmore arrived from
Talara Bay yesterday with cargo of 2501
tons of liquid bitumen. The vessel was
detained in consequence of having gone
from here to Mollendo with $4,000 railroad

Bay until January and there was another
delay there in getting the oil on board.
The Bawnmore made the trip with oil
Woodside says that it worked to a charm
The consumption was greater than was an

more satisfactory than coal. The fiues
were almost perfectly clean, according to
the captain, and there is no ash. The trip
from Talara Bay occupied twenty -one days.

MORE ROOM FOR EXHIBITS,
Big Dining Hall at HamIine to Be
Filled With Products.

At meeting yesterday the executive
committee Of the board of managers
of the state fair decided to devote the
big dining hall to exhibition purposes.
This action is made necessary from. the
fact that applications for space in the
main exhibition hall are too numerous
to be cared for without the extra space
/ thus provided. The dining hall is so
extensive that it will give splendid ac-
commodations to a large number of
exhibits that could not otherwise be
properly placed.
Secretary Randall, of the state fair,
has received a communication from
the people of Pine county advising him
of the fact that they desire to make an
exhibit at the coming state fair. This
exhibit is to include the products
of the county for the purpose of de-
monstrating what has been done in
Pine county during the past year, since
the great fire swept away all of the
possessions of the people of that
county,
- Inquiries were also made as to the
possibilities of securing camping ac-
comm odationS for a party from Pine
county, who wish to camp at the
grounds during the fair.
The secretary states that he is now
ready to sell the privileges of the
grand stand, dining hall and refresh
ments during the week.

Adam Decker was one of the most

Adam Decker was one of the most
widely known of our German-Ameri-
can citizens. He was born in Bavaria,
Germany, and at the time of his de-
mise was sixty-four years of age. In
1850 he came to America and took up
his home in Ohio. There he remained
but a short time, going to Pittsburg,
where he learned the tinsmith trade.
In 1854 he came to st. Paul, where he
located permanently. For a number
of years he was employed as foreman
in the various tinshops of the city, but
in 1859 he established a business of
his own on Third street. This was de-
stroyed by fire year later and then
he opened on jackson street. In 1868
he erected building which is now oc-
cupied by the general hardware bust
ness of which he has been the sue
cessful head these many years.
Mr.. Decker was one of the organic
ers of the Germania bank and was for
many years its vice president. At the
time of his death he was still a di-
rector of that institution. He leaves
a wife, two sons and four daughters.
The funeral will occur on Wednesday
afternoon from the German Lutheran
church, Eleventh and Minnesota
streets, of which deceased has been a
lifelong member.

the rules of the health department, or
any provisions not meeting with the
approval of the health department
might be stricken out or amended.
The ordinance seems to have origi-
mated with the Northwestern SANTA
ton company, which has recently con-;
structed an artesian well plant on the
west bank of the river, and, if passed,
1t would, it is claimed, come precious
near granting that institution a mon
opoly-certainly a temporary monop-
oly-of the business. 1t provides,
among other things, that there shall
be only two methods of disposing of
the night soil, either by the artesian
well system of driving the night soil
through a sewer pipe into the river
with heavy flow of water or else get
ting rid of it by the cremation process.
The company that would compete
with the Northwestern Sanitation COM
pany, in case this ordinance should be
passed, would be obliged to either dig
an artesian well or construct a Gre
matory.
DR.. Stone is not advocating the
passage of the ordinance, and he so in
formed the attorneys for the compet-
ing companies. He will simply offer it
for the consideration of the board of
aldermen.

FL. NJ. SULLIVAN UNDER ARREST
On Suspicion of Having Stolen
Countess Maurer,s Diamonds
at Il Levee.

John McAllister was discovered
yesterday morning attempting to
burglariZe the residence of c. E. Nc
captured by Officer O'Brien after a
long chase and the explosion of sew
eral police cartridges.
Between 9 and 10 a. M Mrs. G.
r. Morton and daughter, of No. 656
Lincoln, and Mrs. E. J. Bowling, of
No. 655, saw a man enter the back
door of the Mckee house, which has
been closed during the absence of
the family. Suspecting burglary, the
ladies fastened to inform Emil Bull
the druggist on the corner Of Grand
avenue and st. Adams street. Bull
ran up to the scene of the crime.
The burglar had just succeeded in
getting through another inside door
by cutting out panel so as to reach
the catch, when he saw the valorous
druggist preparing to surround him.
The invader then withdrew, trav-
erSed several blocks of adjacent
sidewalk with the alacrity of a
winged Pegasus, and was shortly
within the domains of Officer
O'Brien, a famous ball player and
hence sprinter of renown. Bull
had not lost track Of his burglar,
and was bearing down upon him
from the northeast, half a point off
Catching sight of the officer, he
hastily Whispered in the latter's ear
a prescription to be taken by the
burglar and administered by the pa
trolman. 1t was, Plumb bulls II-R
To be taken while exercising" Then
Emil held his breath with admira-
ton, as he watched the ball player
| remove the slack from his big black
belt and take after the fleeing burg
lar. One, two, three, four blocks up
Sherman street fed
THE OFFICER IN PURSUIT.
He was almost on the point of
abandoning a game in which the
bases were half mile apart, when
he recalled DR.. Bulls remedy. He
drew his revolver and administered
the first dose. But it was greedily
swallowed by a picket fence on the
other side of the street A second
dose was taken with equal avidity
by grateful shade tree. The burglar
would probably have escaped had he
been able to leap 100 feet in the air,
for Sherman street at this point runs
abruptly into a high bluff. Unable
to accomplish this miracle, he threw
up his hands and told the officer in
ejaculaitory style that he felt much
better and had no need for dose
| of DR.. Bulls medicine.
| Mr.. Mckee, whose residence was
entered, is a travelling salesman for
j. H. Allen e. Co., the wholesale
| grocers. He was out on the road
| yesterday, and his wife was visit
| ing in another city. The same house
was entered on a recent occasion,
when several small articles were
taken, and presumably by the same
! invader.
| The supposed burglar gave his
name as John McAllister, and his oc-
cupation as that of cotton oper-
ator." From his appearance the DO
lice are of the opinion that his opera
lions in cotton have long since been
exchanged for the vocation of a
tramp thief. Officer O'Brien feels
that he made a home run in spite
of two wild balls, although he was
not success as a short stop.
