IN THE SENATE.
The Ertortion Bin Killed by a Good
Majority.

1uuJOTIy.
SACRAMENTO, March 4-Senator Toner'S
bill to open up avenues of extortion in the
government of the city and county of San
Francisco came up on second reading in
the Senate late this afternoon.
The Committee on Judiciary recon-
mended an amendment to the bill, and
this was first voted upon. The bill is en-
titled, IAN act to repeal an act entitled
AN act to provide and regulate the manner
OF receiving and paying fees, commissions,
percentages and other, compensation for
official services in cities and cities and
counties having population of over 1OO,-
oooinhabitants, and prescribing the duties
of officers with reference thereto ap-
proved March IL, 1882
It's purpose is to repeal the act which
secured passage two years ago through the
efforts of Senator Fay. If the bill should
pass it would allow the Sheriff of San Fran
cisco and other officials to extort fees as was
the custom two years ago and back of that
date, and would make the revenues of the
Sheriff IS office exceed $4,000 year. 1t is
a bad bill, but there is little likelihood of
its passage now.
Senator McAllister declared that the
easiest way to kill the bill was to defeat
the amendment of the Judiciary Commit
tee, because without that amendment the
bill contained fatal defect which would
kill the bill OF itself.
According to Senator Langford that is
vulgar way off killing bill, sometimes
practiced by the Assembly but never in
the Senate" said Senator Ford, referring

SLASHED HIS BROTHER.
John human, Army Street, Arrested for
Assault to Murder.


Assault to Murder.
There was a row IN the family of Patrick
Nunan, 1908 Army street, about II o'clock
last night. One of the sons, Thomas, a
teamster, had retired to bed when his
younger brother, John, came home and
began to quarrel with him. The father re-
monstrated with John and he turned his
wrath upon him and struck him in the
mouth. Thomas sprang out of bed to
assist his father and John slashed at him
with q razor. He inflicted a long, deep
cash over his heart and laid open his left
cheek.
John then ran out of the house and the
father notified the police. Thomas was
taken to the City and County Hospital in
the patrol wagon, where his wounds were
stitched and dressed. Neither is danger
ously injured.
John was captured by Policeman Heaphy
and was booked at the Seventeenth-street
station on the charge of assault to murder.

qualities which are demanded for the
proper support of the nervous system.
Hundreds of women who once suffered
from nervousness, write that they have
taken Hoods Sarsaparilla and nervousness
has disappeared. This was because Hoods

Strong Nerves

Depend upon pure, rich, red, nourishing,
strengthening blood. The nerves derive
their sustenance from the blood and when
they are weak it is because they do not re-
ceive the nourishment needed. The true
cure for nervousness will not be found in
opiate or sedative compounds. These only
allay the symptoms.

THE STAGE AND PLAYERS

Fitzgerald Murphy, sthe author of the
focal Blue Book. and dramatis of some
note, left here last autumn as the advance
agent for Sadie Martinez. He managed
to reach New York, and, profiting by this
experience, then undertook to conduct an
Actors Insurance company, not life, but
against counting ties. For moderate
premium he agreed to furnish any
stranded historian money enough to get
to his home. 1t was good plan, but
Fitzie, like many another man of INTEL
lect, lacked capital. and the light failed.
This turned his ideas to the m oney
question and not being burdened with
gold, he bethought him self OF silver, and
wrote play entitled Silver Lining. Sem
ators Jones and Stewart, it is said, read
It and were so pleased that they pre-
sented Fitzie with a whole fcartwheel
dollar suitably engraved.
Fitzgerald is bright, pushing, amiable
young fellow, but like most OF us Bohem-
ians has had so little to do with money
that he knows all about it.

The war drama, the north and south
play, continues to be in vogue. 4 neH
one was produced last week in New Y atk
called Fair Virginia. built on almost the
same lines Of Held by the Enemy, Shen-
andoah and Alabama, and it has met
with unqualified success, though written
by an unknown author and played by
actors nearly all new to the stage. The
popularity of these plays is as strong an
indication of the peace on earth good
will towards men spirit that prevails from
the Rio Grande to the lakes. as the re-
cent unveiling of the Confederate monu-
ment at Oh icago, and further bespeaks
the prudence of the broad, hearty Ameri-
can spirit that is one of the healthiest in
dications of the times when SO many
sickly social symptoms are to be noted.

Orpheum-Levy. the great cornetist,
is to make his first appearance in Los
Angeles at the Orpheum tomorrow night.
There is no artist who has so long held
the position at the very head and front
OF his art as has Jules Levy. For years
he has been the one cornetist. Levy's
playing is beyond criticism, because
there is no other standard save his own
BY which cornet playing can be judged.
His aim is to please the masses. He
runs and sky-rocket effects that are un.
derstood by those who possess technical
muical knowledge. but plays the simplest
ballads that are familiar to every ear, with
cOnsummate art .
There could be no stronger evidence OF
the thorough refinement and elevation of
the vaudeville stage than the appear
ance of Levy at the Orpheum. He is a
man whose position in the world of art
is undisputed. Another claim made by
the Orpheum management that only
theater with patronage such as the
Orpheum enjoys could engage such an at
traction in addition to big vaudeville COM
pany such as will occupy the boards next
week. Levy's salary is $1,000 for the
seven nights and two matinees at which
he will appear next week and the manage
ment defrays all his travelling expenses
The manager states. however, that
there will be no increase of prices.
Prof. Martens performing dogs will be
seen tomorrow night or the first time in
an exhibition which has been pronounced
most remarkable. A feature Of their per-
torrance is a boxing match between two
of the CANNES, who are called Fitzsim-
mons and Corbett.
Richmond and Glenroy the comedy
sketch team, .will introduce a fresh
batch of their inimitable quips and Jokes
Maude Raymond, the bright and winning
soubrette, is on the bill for some new
character songs and representations. The
Rogers Brothers one of the best German
comedy teams ever seen here are among
the cards OF the week and Meyer Cohn
the baritone has been re.engaged and will
present new selection of songs. One of

series of striking battle pictures. with the
accompaniment Of musektry. Mr.. Cohen
