Dir. kinross is the musical instructor
and stage manager of the Tivoii theater
OF San Francisco and is probably the most
thorough and experienced man in his
line on the coast. He gave the chorus a
three-hour drill last night and expressed
his entire satisfaction at the proficiency
they had already acquired, and says II is
as good chorus as he ever played with.
The san Francisco papers say that Miss
Cassidy has the purest and sweetest
voice ever heard in that city for years.
The costumes for the play are furnished
by Goldstein & Co. of San Francisco, and
are the best that house can make. II is
no doubt but what this is going 10 be
the rage Of the city. Imagine going to
see an opera on a real man-of-war, with
her guns all pointed at the crowd. as X
they would blow up the whole park. The
boat is equipped with fifty thirty-two
candle-power lights and the electrical ef-
fects Will be beautiful.
The first performance Will commence
Sunday at $50 with a band concert, and
at 3 30 the opera starts with roaring of
cannon and beating of drums. Perform
ances will be given every night during
the week commencing at $50 with band
concert. Opera starts at O'Clock and
will close with the firing OF the guns and
fireworks

ing salesman and she Is frequently
alone in her house at night. For sew
eral days she had observed suspicious
looking man lettering about the place.
The other night as she was about clos
ing her store, two strange men entered
and engaged her in conversation. When
they left she started upstairs, taking
six-shooter with her to explore the
rooms before retiring. AS she entered
her bedroom she saw man disappear
ing under the bed. She fired at him.
There was a yell Of pain and the fellow
darted out. He tried to grapple her,
but she fred again, and as he dashed
down the stairs she sent third and
fourth bullet after him. Then she
rushed out on the street and screamed
for the police. She recognized the
thief as the man who had been hanging
about the place. He escaped, but car
ried a couple of bullets with him, as
shown by the trail Of blood he left be-
hind. He had picked up Mrs. Taylor's
jewelry and other valuables and was
about to leave when detected.

themselves in the old building. These
men rent their rooms separately from
the owners Of the property. Some club
together to pay this rent, three or four
living in one room, while others who
are more prosperous occupy and pay
for a room for themselves. The men
are all employed in various occupations
in the vicinity Of the building where
they reside and the majority of them
earn good wages. If one man happens
to get out Of work, If popular with the
rest, he is usually assisted by the crowd
to pay his board until he can secure
work again, when he is expected to
reimburse those who have helped him.
AS rule the cooking for the crowd Is
done by one man, who is delegated by
lot or some such arrangement to cook
for the household for week. The men
all buy their own food which Is pre-
pared for them to their liking. Among
the appointments Of the house is a
chapel where service is held every
Sunday, colored preacher being
brought out from the city for the pur-
pose. There is barber shop also in
the house and an oyster saloon, WHERE
the men, when particularly flush, can
regale themselves on a stew made of
the choicest bivalves.

Her Happy Hour

A touching instance, which reveals
the only source Of real happiness In life,
was once related by a well-known evan
gelist as follows:
A gentleman who had been educated
among fashionable people and had be-
come minister, was recently at dinner
where he met one of his former ac-
quaintances, lady whom he had not
seen in years She spoke to him Jest
ingly of his having become a minister
of the gospel, and said: 81 should
think you would find 1t exceedingly
stupid; | do not see how you can bear
to lead such llfe." He turned to her
and said: II should think you would
be the one who would find life stupid,
and / should think you would find your
existence almost intolerable." He said
that even at the table her face flushed,
and he saw tears gathering in her eyes,
For some time she did not make any
reply. A little later, however, she
sought him in another room and said:
"You were right in what you thought
about my life; 1t Is almost intolerable,
and would be wholly so except for the
visits that l pay the Children's Hos
pital once week. dress myself in
my brightest gown and take some Of
my most valuable jewels, and without
telling anyone where am going, l
drive to the Children's Hospital and
there try to amuse the suffering little
ones for an hour. This" she said, lis
the one thing that makes my life worth
living"
1t is q sure balm for the healing OF
all unrest and discomfort, that one
should give himself to the alienation
Of the woes of others.

Story of borrower.

"I have $4,000 worth of real estate"
said borrower to the shark behind the
desk Of a mortgage loan office, ION
which should like to borrow $3.50 to
pay servant hire that is due to-day,
Can you accommodate me with the
amount?"
The shark drummed listlessly with
the tips Of his fingers on the desk and
said nothing. Presently the borrower,
clearing his throat, repeated little
louder: 81 have $4,000 worth Of real
estate ON which should like to borrow
$3.50 to pay servant hire that is due to-
day. Can you accommodate me with
the amount?"
Still the shark looked dreamily
through the visitor and at the people
passing along the street, continued the
tattoo with his finger ends and replied
not word.
Turning to the office boy the Dor
rover asked: "What Is the matter with
your employer? Does he mean to re-
fuse me the money!"
"You have not paid the 81 member
ship fee to this loan association" re-
piled the boy.
The borrower put down 50 and re-
newed his request. Then the shark
registered the victims name and adj
dress in a journal and said. suavely:
"Three dollars bookage, please"
"Bookage? What bookage?"
"None of your business; SO quick"
The borrower paid 1t without a muir
muir,
ITO inspect your property and titles
will cost you So additional" continued
the shark, with stern smile.
The So was handed over. Nov do
get the loan of $3.5O?" pleaded the bor-
rover.
"Come in one year from to-day and
our report will be ready"
"But the bill is due to-day, man."
"Let 1t wait"
ut won't wait; the servant will leave
tomorrow If she is not paid"
ooh, she'll wait; just show her this
certificate Of application to us and ex-
plain to her that you have to wait"
The borrower left the office with
many misgivirgs. He returned in one
year by the almanac and the clock.
81 am very sorry" said the shark,
"but we cannot let you have anything
on those chattels or lands Of yours"
The victim dropped his head sadly on
his breast and started to the door. The
broker called him back.
How did 1t end? The shark charged
the borrower slips storage on the pa
pers in the case.

"Alas" sighed MonoculUs, "this chiv-
alrous but cruel amusement has sadly
fallen off and degen0rated since the
days OF the Abencerrages. The picadors
then were gentlemen, who displayed
their courage and dextrous riding, not
for hire, but to win smiles from their
ladies, who sat looking on. The mere
death-thrust was then q secondary
thing, and instead of those carrion
knacker's horses, they wheeled and cir
cled on fiery Arabs, each worth king
dom, and at whose death queens might
have wept, Those turbaned men fought
with simple javelins four feet long, and
slew the bull unaided with their own
hands. The bulls Of Geryon, that Her
cules stole, are still certainly strong
and fierce; but they are, after all, lean
and small, and not to be compared with
the bulls Of England for power and
muscle"
But though no longer the amusement
of high-born men, bull-fghting is more
popular today in Spain than ever. The
Spanish ladies attend the bull-fghts
with as much pleasure as the American
fair attend the opera. To the respect
able mlddle-class it is the chief recre-
alton. They bring their children, and
the little things clap their hands with
delight at tho goring of some broken
down horse.

is that which we enjoy; that which be-
comes part Of our life, by charging
our capabilities; lifting us to higher
planes; extending our vision; giving us
wings; adding length to our arms, and
helping us to become larger, better and
wiser, and whatever does not do this
cannot enrich us. On the other hand, IL
makes us poorer by enslaving us with
cares on its own account. Blessed are
the meek, for they can have rest where
others would be weary; they can be
contented where others would have
nothing but fret and worry. They can
be rich without money; strong without
strength, and the real owners of every
thing in sight, without having to keep
up repairs and pay taxes. Blessed are
the meek.

once going through Texas he met an old
Texan who described at length the peo-

said he. "There the speakinest people

gan kicking the door. She seized a
revolver, opened the door, and was con-
fronted by two masked men. Before
she could fire, one of them fired at her,
the ball entering the left arm at the
elbow. She fired several shots as she fol-
lowed the retreating figures. Then she
returned to the Office and notified the
chief train dispatcher at San Francis

is now IN the hospital, but her injury

To be meek is to be strong at all
points. Well armed and equipped
throughout. To live in an impregna-
BILE castle in which are living springs,
and secret outlets which cannot be dis
covered by the enemy. To be meek in
spirit, is to be like Christ, and to have
a hold on God that the world, the flesh
and the devil cannot break. To be meek
in spirit is not only to inherit the earth,
but to own real estate in heaven. To in
herit means to have by lawful right. By
undisputable title. To possess by the
strongest of all claims. ITO Inherit the

MenOmlneo Woman Missing.

Mrs. ]. S. Jewett, a society woman,
and formerly connected with a Neenah
CWis.) newspaper, as society editor,
is missing from her home at Menom-
inee, Mich. She left letter addressed
to her husband, in which she said that
she was tired of life and would kill her
self. She also gave minute directions
as to the disposition of her jewelry and
other effects, and also told to whose
care she would like to have her only
child, girl, years Of age, left. For
some time past she had been in i'll
health, and at times was subject to fits
of melancholy. The bay near where
she resided is being dragged, as it is
believed she threw herself into the
water.
