land Give Evidence of the Sea
Lines Success.

The rate war between San Francisco ana
Portland was at its height yesterday.
There was no change in the situation. how
ever. only it was fight in earnest, with the
rival lines watching each other and a
steamer and train out in opposition.
The steamer Columbia sailed for Port
land in the morning with 1875 passengers.
most of whom were in the cabin. She had
also 1000 tons of freight aboard, which
more than paid running expenses. Freight
on those steamers will form the backbone
of the Oregon Railway and Navigation
Company's fight, since it will keep the
vessels running almost Independently of
receipts from passenger travel. Two agents
of the Southern Pacific Company were at
the dock to count the passengers going
aboard and to take other notes.
This the steamship men regarded AS
"small business" adding that none of
them would go over to Oakland to count
Southern Pacific passengers leaving on TIE

California left Portland yesterday with 297
passengers aboard.
Assistant General Passenger Agent Ju-
dab of the Southern Pacific states that a
train of seventeen cars had started south
from Portland in opposition to this steamer.
A train of fourteen cars, he said, would
leave Oakland mole with over 200 passen-
gers.

NAsH'S CONTRACT.
The Ex-Stage Manager of the Tivoli APP
pears in Court in His Suit Against
Mrs. KreIing.

The fonduess of John E. Nash. late stage
manager of the Tivoli, for horse-racing
was the subject of testimony in Judge
Hunts court yesterday, the occasion being
Nash's suit against Mrs. Ernestine kreling
for the amount he claimed was still due on
a contract of employment.
Nash had been hired at a salary of $50 a
week for the first year and $100 for the Sec
ond year. He was discharged before the
expiration of the two years, however, and
the question arose whether or not he had a.
contract. Mrs. Kreling said he had not,
and refused to pay him more than his
money to date. Nash said he had, and he
sued for the amount he would have earned
if he had continued on until the two years
were up.
Nash's claim that there was contract
between them was based on letters which
went back and forth between Mrs. Kreling
in San Francisco and Nash in New York,
while the defense submitted testimony to
show that Mrs. Kreling had suggested the
day after he came out here to assume his

HERE EN- RSON WAS KING
The Old Bijou Theater Has Been
Sold at Auction for
100000.
The Homeless Poor Slumbered There
After the Minstrel's Gags
Were Forgotten.

The old Bijou Theater, opened first in
1888 by one William Emerson, the "king
of black-face w.t." was sold yesterday at
auction by A. J. Rich 81 Co. to Daniel
Rogers, capitalist residing in this City.
1t was a part of the Cynthia Hoff Schilla-
Der estate, and brought the sum of $166 900.
The property is situated between Third
and Fourth streets, running from Market
to Stevenson, and is at present occupied
by hardware-store, tailoring establish
ment and costumer. These institutions
surround and are over the old Bijou Thea
ter, which has served for many purposes.
When Emerson opened it with his cork
show, minstrelsy was in its prime and the
invincible BILLY" was at the top of the
ladder. He ratified the bones and thumped
his banjo with the finest of them all, and
society was delighted to listen to his songs
and witness his clever dancing. Nightly
the box-office looked like young National
surplus, and the money came in so thick
and fast that William thought it would be
a good thing to lay off occasionally and
give his understudies chance.
That settled it. The Bijou went to the
wall and William went with it.
After that Lewis Morrison took hold of
it with indifferent success and ran it for

ing has paid there. In 1893 the Christian
Union Mission-all are invited-took pos
session of it and the theater was converted
into free-for-all lodging house. 1t was
only under this management that it be-
gan to draw again, and every night about
the time the fog settled over the City
there would be pilgrimage of the lame,
the halt and the blind from every quarter
of the town. They came in singles, twos
and threes and occasionally in 'blocks OF
FIVE" wendell their weary way up the long
stairs and scattered all over the house
from the pit to the gallery of the gods.

also made by him. He either has a patent
or he has not, and he wants to know for
certainty.
According to a decision by Judge Nc.
Kenn of the Circuit Court he has not,
and Judge McKenna's decision has just
been affirmed by the Court of Appeals.
The counsel for Mr. Hammond thinks
decision hence the motion to have the
questions involved sent up to the Supreme
Court.
It will be the first time the august body
of iurists at Washington will have had to
pass upon the distinction between ''me-
chanical device" and a design" Judge
McKenna held substantially that the
Hammond patent was simply an aggre-
cation of designs already patented. Mr..
Miller's opinion is that design patents
stand on a different basis from mechanical
patents, that different rules of law apply
to them, that only minimum amount of
the inventive faculty is necessary in pro-
ducing them. and that they stand very
nearly on the same plane as trademarks
and copyrights" His contention IS,
therefore, that the courts should deal
more lenientlv with design patents,
and not apply the strict rules of law that
Judge McKenna did.
The five questions he is anxious to have
the Supreme Court pass upon are: Is
there any difference in character between
the inventive faculty displayed in produc-
ing mechanical device" and that dis
played in producing design? Should
the same rules apply to the determining of
suit involving design as one involv-
ing s. mechanical Device? What is the
proper test by which to. determine the
presence or absence of the inventive fac
ulty? Did John Hammond display an ex-
ercise of the inventive faculty? Is the
Hammond patent valid or invalid?

Alvord spoke highly of Mrs. French and
said that if the Board of Supervisors gave
her an appointment they would place one
of the most efficient officers in the depart
ment at her disposal which would be better
than having her wear star. They would
go further and give her as many men as
she desired to help her in her laudable
object for the protection of young girls

that they might make the appointments

duties that they go down to her attorney
and draw up a contract, and that he him
self said there was no necessity Tor con-
tract between them.
Testimony on both sides showed that
Nash was a devotee of horse-racing and
that Ferris Hartman aided and abetted
him i'll his financial judgments on horse
flesh. Hartman admitted that he went to
the races almost every day for his amuse-
ment and his profit and loss, he added,
and he met Nash there nearly all the time.
Nash was supposed to be at the theater
during all the rehearsals, and he was sup
posed also to invent new business" for
the operas being put on and to see that
they were properly staged and cast. This
he neglected, witnesses for the defense tes-
titled, and he depended upon the older
actors to tell him what had been done be-
fore, in order that he might copy. His
only original work in the way of "busi-
ness was done in his room with poker
chips for actors and table for the stage.
He would lay out his scenes with reds and
blues, with platoons of whites for his
choruses, and move the chips around until
he had hit upon an idea.
The case will go on again this morning.

A CURE FOR DIPsOMANIA
DIR. Gayigan Claims That 1t Is a
Disease and That 1t Is
Curable

DR.. William J. Gavigan delivered an in
teresting lecture on "Dipsomania" under
the auspices of the San Francisco Society
for the Prevention of Dipsomania and In
ebriety last evening at Golden Gate Hall.
President Lewis of the society, in intro
ducing the lecturer, spoke of his efforts in
behalf of the bill passed by the last Legis-
lature providing for the establishment of
hospitals for the cure of dipsomania. He
said that it was the purpose of the society
to have given other lectures on the subject,
particularly for the purpose of educating
the public up to the fact that dipsomania
was disease and durable.
DR.. Gavigan's lecture was largely de-
voted to the explanation of the causes for
dipsomania and inebriety in their different
forms. He showed that the cause of most
cases could be traced to nervous disorders
or shocks or accidents that had af-
fected the brain, and went on to
prove that the victims suffered from
disease that was in most cases curable by
proper course of treatment. He decried
the use of the present method of Furnishing
by imprisonment as barbarous and useless,
as was the old custom of imprisoning and
Furnishing the insane. He spoke of the
bright prospects for a new era in the treat
ment by combining patients in public hos
pitfalls under system that would be free
from all the objections of the present So
called homes"
The means to be used in these cases. he
said, would be abstinence, ascertaining and
removal OF the predisposing causes and a
restoration of the mental and physical
tone. "a new era is coming" he said.
land it will not be long before people will be
glad to go into these retreats as into hos
pital or asylum. The public will soon rec
ognize that every dipsomaniac is a danger
and menace to society, and that society
has right to insist on his renewal"

Captain P. f. Lane will have to put up
$15,O bail in addition to the $4,000 al

guarantee to answer for the outrageous
offenses he is charged with having COM
mitted.
The testimony, as in the other cases al
ready heard, is of character unit for
publication. The witnesses, who do not

The prosecuting witness was Eva Gui-
nasso, aged II years. She detailed all the
particulars of the offense charged. stating
as part of her testimony that Julia Chris
Hansen, the prosecuting witness in the
case reported Tuesday, in which Captain
Lane was held in 1000 bail, was present
and witnessed all that had been done.

TALLY corroborated the story of Eva GUM

"There was a trunk in Captain Lanes

The agitation for park Improvements

residents on the Park Hill tract. That To-

The park is at present nothing but a
wide expanse of brush without flowers,
proper paths, or anything to make it re-

ESTATE OF G. w. GIBBS.
The Property Will Go to His Widow.
Charities Were Recognized While
He Lived.


The late George w. Gibbs left valuable
estate, and it is the impression of those
who were most familiar with his affairs that
nearly all the property he possessed was
decided many months ago. so that it now
goes to his widow. The will of itself may
not provide for the disbursement of more
than $40, 900.
A year or two ago Mr.. Gibbs gave ex.
preston to his views on the subject of
giving to charities, wherein he took the
position that man desiring to make such
gifts should carry out his intentions during
his lifetime.
1t is known now that Mr.. Gibbs adhered
to this rule himself and that his will which
may be filed within the next two or three
days, does not contain charitable requests.
At the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton yesterday Mr.. Mccoy said he knew
nothing whatever of Mr.. Gibbs will or the
executors of the estate. To the Y NJ. @. A.
building Mr. Gibbs gave $4,000 outright,
and the association does not expect any,
thing more.
Several times Mr.. Gibbs paid the debts
of Grace Church and must have given in the
aggregate a vast sum of money to that
church. He also gave to st. Luke's Hos
pital, the San Mateo Orphan Asylum and
various other institutions.
Does Not Frequent Lunch Counters.

oblivion of the audience to the presence of
q stage made it unnecessary to 'tchange the
programme nightly" In the morning tie
light streaming in through the open win
dows awakened the sleepers and they left
their hard couches to scatter through the
City to exc out miserable existenc e
through the day. When night fell again
the army of weary men came back to the
old playhouse, where, instead of tumultu-
Gus applause and the echo of the orchestra,
only the labored breathing of half-starved
men was heard.
The hacking voice of the boy who sells
peanuts and pictures of the ''entire cast in
one group was hushed. The patter of
the feet OF the 'buck and wing dancer
was but memory, and the grand inter
Jude came only in dreams.
1t was drama of real life, but the actors
were tired of the play.
Finally the tramps and unemployed left
it and the Eden Musee with its waxwork
and marionettes filed in to carry on the
show. 1t became haunt for children and
their nurses, but even that eventually dis
appeared, and since then it has been prac-
tically idle, grewsome and convenient
place for rats and spiders, whose footprints
are still visible in the accumulated dust
The residence property at the corner of
Sixteenth street and Hoff avenue was pur-
chased by Mrs. w. Cook, who bought in
her life interest, while Charles w. Rosen-
baum secured the Hoff-avenue flats, be-
tween Sixteenth and Seventeenth streets,
for $11, $50.
NJ. Ii. de Young purchased two statues
of 'Delilah and SauF' by Storey and a
statue of "The Lost PIeiad'' by Randolph
Rogers for $50 each, subject to the life in
terest, which will bring them up to over
$1,000 EACH. 1t is pretty generally under
stood that they are to be housed in the
museum at the park. Mrs. Cook bought
in the pictures. furniture and cabiuets
which form great part OF the family herr
