KNIGHTS TEMP[AR MECCA.
The Local Members Already
Preparing for the Trip to
Boston.
Three Special Trains VIII Be Fitted
Out for as Many Com
manderieS.

Although still more than a month away,
the twenty-sixth triennial conclave of
Knights Templar, which is to open in Bos-
ton on August 81 and continue for three or
four days. is attracting considerable atten-
ton among the local communicates of the
fraternity.
Plans have already been made for the
pilgrimage OF two of the communicates of
this City and one of Oakland. San Fran
cisco will be represented by California
Commandery No. 1 and Golden Gate No.
16, and Oakland by Oakland Commandery
No. II. The respective strength of these
communicates is 311, 266 and 148.
Each will 60 as a separate body in q
special train consisting of five or six Pull
mans, baggage, dining and commissary
car, which will go through without change.
California will leave on the 18th of August
and the other communicates will follow a
day or two later. 1t is expected that each
commandery will send about fifty men,
bers, who will be accompanied by their
families.
local communicates will set special day
for receiving guests, on which occasion
California fruits and wines will be literally
dispensed.
One of the great public features of the
conclave is the parade, which precedes the
formal opening of the session. The three
California communicates will participate,
and California Commandery will be
mounted in their usual picturesque style
on coal black chargers. 1t is expected that
$1,000 Knights will march in the process
sion. There will also be grand competi-
tive drill, and it is possible that California,
Golden Gate and Oakland may all enter.
Among the interesting matters that will
come before the encampment will be the
selection of the seat of the next conclave,
to be held in 1898.
Two cities are already in the feld-Pitts-
burg and Louisville. The Pittsburg Knights
Templar have already secured subscrip-
tions amounting to more than $50 900 to
entertain the visitors should their city be
chosen.
On the day of the parade the city of Bos-
ton will be draped in black and white, re-
lieved by the scarlet Maltese cross.

POSTOFFICE CHANGES.
Four Men Lost Their Positions and Two
Others Have Been Appointed by
Postmaster McCoppin.

There were number of changes in the
postoffce yesterday and four heads fell into
the basket. Postmaster McCoppin is de-
termined to have an efficient staff and the
chances are that two more heads will fall
before the end of the week.
E. w. Hutchings was appointed as q
clerk some time ago, but was not con-
firmed, pending his examination by the
Civil Service Board. He failed to secure
the necessary percentage, so he was forced
to retire and make room for some one who
did. W. j. Harris, carrier, was dis
missed for the non-delivery of certain
mail matter from Station E. He returned
to the main Office half an hour ahead of
time and left the undeiivered letters on
his desk. Fred Reich has been appointed
to Harris place.
Patrick Dey, a substitute carrier, was
dismissed for general decentralization, !"
and Fred H. Merrill for absence from duty
and refusing to take the Civil Service ex-
animation. Merrill was distributor and
his place has been taken by E. M. Kelly.
Postmaster McCoppin is allowed $186, ,396
8 year on which to run the Postoffice. Last
year he spent $500 less than his allowance

venience of Visitors and Particularly
the Juvenile Patrons.
Librarian Clark is about to make many
improvements in the Free Public Library
which will be of great accommodation to
patrons. On the main floor space will
be reserved for ladies. This will not only
be more convenient than the present
quarters, but better lighted. The present
apartments for ladies in the upper corri-
dors will be turned into juvenile depart
ment. HereI about 5000 volumes of juvenile
literature will be shelved, and they will be
placed in charge of some assistants who
take special interest in directing the read
ing of the young. Free access will be given
to the shelves Under the supervision of
the assistants, and thus more intelligent
selection of books can be made. A check

Columbia Thester.

cone of Our Girls" with Helen Dauvray as
the sgirl," was success at the Columbia
Theater last night. The first act was little
doubtful. Miss Dauvray did not scintillate SO
brilliantly as she had been expected to do, and
the audience felt little out of its element in
the French atmosphere; but the second act,
with its international hiss, sealed the success
OF zone of Our Girls" and the third act ter
minated with an enthusiastic curtain-call.
Bronson Howards play is full of sparkling
lines snd bright repartee, with one situation
that becomes tragic. Miss Dauvray entered
thoroughly into the spirit of fun that made the
American girl tease the solemn French aristo-
Gratis. An aristocrat as depicted by George w.
Leslie would provoke saint to tease, if
not to revile him. Frawley was good
as the English captain who cap
tured Miss Dauvrays heart, although it
was matter for regret that he should have
assumed the English accent used by omnibus
drivers and other eockneys of the humber
class.
In the tragedy that eliminates the third act
Helen Dauvray rose we'll to the occasion in a
clever rather than strong manner. George
Osbourne fully shared the honors OF the even

the jolliest manner possible. Miss Ida Skid

The piece bids fair to run as well as any that
Hoyt has brought here.

MISPLACED KINDNESS.
j. w. Brown, alias Ma1oy, Robbed a
Man Who Befriended Him.

j. w. Brown, alias MalOy, Robbed a
Man Who Befriended Him.
J. N. Brown, alias Patrick Maloy, was
yesterday held to answer before the Su-
perior Court by Judge Conlan on the
charge of burglary in $1,000 bonds.
On June 15 Brown met John III. Horgan,
the driver of a milk wagon for Peter An
zenhofer, rancher on the Mission road
near the Six-mile House. He pleaded pew
erty to Horgan, saying he had no money
to pay for bed. Horgan took pity upon
him and drove him to the ranch. He fit
ted up bed for him in a room adjoining
his own. Next morning when Horgan left
on his rounds Brown was asleep and when
he returned he found that Brown had
gone. He had broken into Horgan's room
and taken with him all of his clothing. He
pawned some of it, and when arrested was
wearing coat, hat and pair of trousers be-
longing to Horgan.

Hoyt's New Comedy.

Hoyt's latest musical comedy, "a Black
Sheep" appeared for the first time in San Fran
cisco last evening at the California Theater.
AS plot it is not SO good as some of Hoyt's
comedies but the company is an excellent one,
and Otis Harlan is enough by himself to make
fun out of any piece. Nearly every one in the
company can do something in the line and
do it well, and in ga Black Sheep" there is
plenty of chance for each.
The erratic career of Goodrich Mudd, other
wise known as Hot Stuff, is the point of the
story. He is left fortune provided he marries
his cousin If she consent within year of 365
days; but 1t happens to be leap year, and
but for the timely remembering of that fact
the fortune would have gone elsewhere. As it
is, his cousin refuses him and he marries the
"queen of burlesque" from comic opera
troupe.
Otis Harlan is excellent. From the time he
takes his first drink in a manner new and cap
tiYating until the end of the last act he is

The Orpheum opened with several new at
fractions last evening, but the list was smaller
than was expected or intended. The Garnells,
grotesque acrobats, tarried too long in
Denver, as did also Maud Harris,

The engagement of the Martinettis has been

Angeles and two in Denver. Kennedy and

The wife of Ernest Cedero, $50 Vallejo street,
was taken to the Receiving Hospital last night
suffering from carbolic-acid poisoning. She
was attended by DR.. Deane and will recover.
Cedero is employed at the Life Saving Station
and when he got home last night he )had a

THE VALLEY ROAD.
Bids for Trestle Iron, Switches and
Frogs-The Rails Landed.


At the office of the San Francisco and
San Joaquin Valley Railroad Compa the
officials yesterday opened bids for trestle
iron, switches and frogs, all from San
Francisco firms. These will be submitted
to the board of directors at the weekly
meeting to be held this afternoon, and tits
probable that they will be acted upon In
order to facilitate the work of track-laying
from Stockton out.
The surveying party that for some time
past had been just west of Tulare, having
run its preliminary lines, has returned to
Reedly, from which point new lines will
be run.
The last of the first cargo of rails for the
new road was placed on barge yesterday
afternoon, and now the company is await
ing the several vessels now on the way
with cargoes of railroad iron.
The work of construction is to be pushed
ahead as rapidly as possible, consistent
with good workmanship.

Grand Opera-House

"The Flag of Truce" which was produced
last night, is a pretty and effectively staged
drama of the Civil War, the scene of which is
laid near Providence, r. /.
Sanford and Coulter Brinker represented the
twin sons Of an old man "Dad." The elder
son is drafted, but as he is married and has a
reckless fellow, goes in his place.
Edmund Hayes gives clever impersonation
of the villain, who, as "the friend of the fam
ily," does his best to wreck the happiness OF
every member of it. The scene in the stone
quarry is very exciting one. Hayes locsens a
tremendous stone, hanging from q. derrick,
and lowers it on the hero, whom he has pre-
viously stunned.
All the characters were we'll sustained last
night, especially those of the brothers, Tom
and Tim, and the old Irish nurse, a part played
by Julia Blanc.

THE STAMFORD CASE AGAIN.
1t VIII Be Retired Before the Circuit
Court of Appeals.

The Stanford case is now on its way to
the Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Nc
Kisick, special counsel for the Govern
ment, filed his petition for an appeal with
the clerk of the United States Circuit Court
yesterday. When the court opened at IL
A. M. he appeared before Judge McKenna
and asked that his appeal be granted. His
Honor consented and the citation was
made returnable on August IA next.
1t is the intention to hold special ses-
sion of the Circuit Court of Appeals next
August, and if the Stanford case is then
ready it will be heard. Should the court
decide against the Government, Judge Nc.
Kisick will carry the matter to the United

nSatanellan at the TiYoli.

The tuneful story of "Satanella" once more
trills from the Tivoh stage and its opening
last evening was greeted with house
crowded to its limit. With the new
faces in the company the piece takes
on new interest to Tivoli goers, and
the new people certainly fulfill expectations in
"Satanella.' Louise Royce alternated with
Alice Nielsen as Satanella, and 1t was well the
arrangement was made, for the rhythmic
measures of Satanella's song of love were en-
cored whenever rendered. Miss Royce was
compelled to repeat 1t three times when she
sang it to Rupert, her lover. The part of Ru-
pert, Count of Brockenberg, was taken by
Martin Pache, who sang in this City with
Marie Tavary. He is tenor of considerable
power, with a voice which he handles well,
and which shows the effect of careful training.
AS Rupert he appears to advantage, and in the
duets of the piece he showed that his voice
blends wen with the other principals.
Ferris Hartman was Hortensius, Rupert's
tutor, and he brought to the part his own
peculiar style of comedy. John J. Rafael was
Bracaccio,. the pirate chief, small part and
Laura Millard appeared as Count Rupert's
foster sister. Leila. The piece will run well.

WICKED LIE ABOUT A BIG
BANK.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., May Z, 1S95.-Last
night a rumor was set afoat here that
the Bank of Montreal had suspended
payment owing to the depreciation IN
Canadian Railway securities and the de-
felt in the Canadian revenue. The re-
port spread with uncomfortable rapid1ty
and this morning a run was organized
on all three of the banks in this city
the branches of the Bank of Montreal.
the Bank Of Nova Scotia and the Mer-
chants Bank of Halifax. Hundreds Of
persons gathered around the banks be-
fore the opening hour demanding gold
for the notes in their possession. For
tunately, all the bank have an abund-
ance of gold to meet the demands upon
them and redeem their circulation.
Each Is redeeming notes of the others
and gold is SO plentifully displayed that
confidence is beginning to be restored.
A run was begun on the Government
Savings Bank also. This bank is sup
piled by the Bank of Montreal, which
has plenty of coin to carry both over
the crisis. The business people n the
more Intelligent classes of the city have
not taken part in the run, being con-
fident of the stability of all four institu-
tons. Only the poorer people have been
affected. The canard originated with
some of the anti-C onfederationists in this
city, who are blamed by all classes for
their i~ncendiary writings. The anti
Confederationist press Isl also largely
responsible for the sensation.
