BAND CONCERT.
It's NOVEL PERFORMANCE AT THE
PAVILION BECOMING VERY
POPULAR.
GOOD Music AND PICTURES ART
APPRECIATED.

That the people of this city are lovers of
music was shown by the large attendance
at the Mechanics Pavilion last night
The audience, one of the largest that has
assembled to hear the delightful strains,
was frequently moved to give vent to its
appreciation of the musicians efforts by
loud applause.
The novel idea OF illustrating the num-
bers on the programme by means of magic
lantern slides thrown upon large screen
was favorably commented upon by every
one, and as picture having patriotic
subject was shown it was received with
marks OF approval from all parts of the
pavilion. Alfred Roncovieri. musical d.
rector of the concert band, who thought
out the combination of picture and music,
has hit upon kind of entertainment til at
is growing in popularity every day.
The production of the grand illustrated
piece Napoleon" depicting the French
troops troops . Under the Emperor entering
trations showing the massacre of st.
bartholomew and Huguenots escaping the
morning after the massacre, were well re-
ceived.
The grand storm scene from the third
act of "Rigoletto" was most effective one
and the thunder and lightning aceompani-
ment quite realistic. Between listening to
the music and watching the awe-inspirine
picture the audience was held spellbound,
but when the echo of the music ceased to
be heard it showed its appreciation in
lond clapping of hands. ''Listen to NY
Tale OF Woe" was comic piece of music
that called for an encore, as did other num-
bers

very good bills had been introduced in
Congress for that purpose, but as yet failed
to receive favorable recognition from both
houses. The navy, he thought, had been
more fortunate in the matter of legislation
than the army.
1t is the generals idea that the enlisted
forces of the United States shall consist Of
at least 1000 men to each State. 81 believe
such an increase IS for the best interests of
the country" said he, land that it is
especially desirable that the President shall
have sufficient force at his command to
enforce the law when the civil authorities
find themselves unable 10 cope with such
an emergency such as has been witnessed
IN this country several times OF late.
THE regular troops are in reality merely
the United States police, and there should
be no rivalry between them and the civil
forces. The two bodies work splendidly
together and there should be only a cordial
feeling between them"
The general was asked if he believed the
inducements for enlistment at present
were sufficient to attract desirable class
OF men into the army, and he replied that
he had but recently made that inquiry
himself at Vancouver.
Il was informed there that there we're
more applications for enlistment than 1t
was possible receive, and that the standard
of character of the men was high. Our EN-
lasted men compare favorably with those
of any other country. 1 found them good
when l was in the service, and believe
that their condition is being improved.
The opportunities for advancement from
the ranks are sufficient to attract many
men. There are plenty of instances in
which the sons OF officers have enlisted as
privates and gradually worked their way
up. General Morrow-than whom a better
soldier was not in the service-had two
sons who followed this course, and are to-
day in good positions.
"a good many officers have gone through
the same experience and have succeeded
not because they were favored in any way,
but because they were diligent in their
studies. Most men do not care about pro-
motion, or, at least, do not care sufficiently
to make the necessary effort to secure it.
1t takes a considerable knowledge of
science now to pass an examination. Our
large guns require a degree of knowledge
on the part of sergeant now that was
only expected of lieutenant in former
years"

THE GANG BROKEN UP.
Young Men Who Have Been Robbing
Houses in the Western Addition.

Young Men Who Have Been Robbing
Houses in the Western Addition.
The gang of daylight burglars, who
have been successfully operating for
months in the Western Addition under
the guise of potato peddlers, has been
broken up through the efforts of Policeman
Harry Reynolds, specially detailed for the
purpose.
A few days ago John O'Donnell, one of
the gang, was sent to the lone School for
five years. George Lee and William Will
son will be sentenced on Saturday on a
charge of vagrancy, and Ed Kearny is
awaiting trial on more serious charge.
On Tuesday Reynolds arrested George
Wilson, alias lynch, brother of William
Wilson; Thomas Lee and John Kearny,
boy and brother of Ed Kearny They at
tempted to enter house at 10Y Oak
street. but were frightened off by lady
next door. Then they went to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Hamilton, 141S Clayton
street, but were again frightened off.
Nothing daunted, they went to the resi-
dence of Mrs. Bugbee, corner of Page and
Clayton streets. The boy Kearny rang the
doorbell, while Wilson and Lee waited in
an alley leading to the rear, ready to break
into the house if no one answered the bell.
Reynolds had been watching them and
secured the assistance of two laborers in
the park. They reached the Bugbee resi-
dence Just as the three burglars were in the
act of breaking into it. Reynolds caught
Wilson and Kearny and the two laborers
chased and captured Lee. They are being
held pending an investigation into the

rary injunction and will hear the case.
The undertaking is in the sum of $4,000
and the sureties are G. P. Splivalo and
Joseph Kahn.
The complaint sets forth that in January,
1894, Claus Spreckels and G. A. Spreckels
entered into an agreement by the terms of
which Claus Spreckels was to transfer to
his son certain valuable property in con-
sideration of certain yearly payments to be
made by him, the last one to become due
next January. To secure his yearly pay
ments c. A. Spreckels pledged some secu-
rites said to be far more valuable than the
to tai of the payments so secured.
At that time, so runs the complaint, Ru-
dolph Spreckels owned 5000 shares of
Paauhau Plantation Company stock, which
stood in Claus Spreckels' name. This
stock Rudolph agreed to pledge as addi-
tional security for the payments from G.
A. Spreckels, provided that Claus Spreck-
els would transfer it to his (Rudolph's)
name on the books of the corporation.
This was done, and Rudolph Endorsed the
certificates, it being agreed, so the COM
plant alleges, that the stock should re-
main in Rudolph's name until after the
maturity of the debt. 1t was also agreed
sets forth the plaintiff that upon the pay
ment of the first yearly installment of the
debt $500 shares of the stock should be re-
turned to Rudolph, and that upon the
liquidation of the Indebtedness the re-
naming $500 shares should also be re-
turned.
Claus Speckels transferred his claim
against his son to the Nevada Bank, turn
ing over all the securities Eypothecated in
Guiding Rudolph's 5000 shares of Paauhau
stock.
c. A. Spreckels paid his first yearly in
stallment amounting to 1851, $50, and half
r@o a1- - IL.
The other payment will not become due
till next January, but the Nevada Bank,
so the plaintiff claims, disregarding the
agreement, now threatens to send the
stock to Honolulu and have it
transferred from Rudolphs name not
understanding the alleged fact that it
holds other securities far in excess in value
of the payment still to be made 1t is
charged in the complaint that the banks
action is taken for the purpose of voting
the shares against Rudolph at the next
election and preventing him from protect
ing his interests in the corporation. 1t is
also charged that the proposed action is
meditated solely for the purpose of inlur-
ing the plaintiff in his property and finan-
cial credit.
Incidentally the plaintiff claims that the
transfer and reissue of the stock will i'm
pose a large expenditure upon him, be-
cause the Hawaiian Government leyies a
tax upon such reissues.
The plaintiff claims that if the bank be
permitted to pursue its intended course he
will be injured through the depreciation of
the stock from its present value of $3.50 600,
far beyond any amount of damages he
might be able to recover. Therefore, he
prays that the bank be enjoined from re-
moving the stock from the jurisdiction of
the State of California and from having it
transferred from the plaintiffs name pend
ing the maturity of G. A. Spreckels' in
debtedness.

RELIEF FOR THE POOR.
John NJ. Reynolds and Captain McFes
Will Continue the Work.

John NJ. Reynolds and Captain McFee
Will Continue the Work.
The work begun by the committee of
fifteen, which was organized for the relief
of the worthy unemployed, is not to be
abandoned entirely, even though the COM
mittee adjourned sine die in Mayor Sutro's
Office last Tuesday afternoon.
Captain McFee of the Salvation Army
and John NJ. Reynolds, ex-secretary of the
practically dead relief committee, had a
long consultation yesterday morning and
it was decided that all cases of restitution
which have been found to be genuine and
worthy shall be taken care of by the cap.
tain until definite plans for the future are
perfected.
1t was the opinion of Mr.. Reynolds and
Captain McFee that the sudden desertion
of 1000 men, 1000 of whom have families in
actual distress, would be an encouragement
to crime, and that temporary relief, at least,
was absolutely indispensable.
Concerning the future nothing has been
agreed upon, but it is possible that the
suggestion of ex-Surveyor-Ge General w. S.
Green, that land be obtained through dona-
ton for the establishment of an industrial
colony, will be attempted.
Possibly, also, outside city property may
be offered, upon which the men may work
upon the cooperative plan.
Several offers of country land have been
made to Mr.. Reynolds for the use of the
unemployed
Captain McFee is enthusiastic in the
work, but is compelled by the regulations
of the army to submit all contemplated
action to his superior officers before new

HE WOULD BE A DESPERATE.
Daniel McCarty Stole Pick and Tried
to Brain a Laborer.

to Brain Laborer.
Daniel McCarty is a youth of Is years
with an ambition to shine as desperate
in the region south of Market street. As a
start on his chosen career he had himself
booked for assault with a deadly weapon
and petty larceny at the Southern police
station yesterday afternoon. 1t is probable
that charge of assaulting an officer will
also be placed against him.
McCarty was out on Channel street yes
terday to see what he could devour and
incidentally looked for row. There was
a gang OF laborers at work digging dit CHI,
and some of their implements were lying
around unused at the time. MeCarty
grabbed a pick and started off with it. Two
Of the laborers, Pat Walsh and John Zim-
norman, went in pursuit of the pick
picker. Just as they were about to catch
him McCarty picked up rock and hurled
it at Walsh, striking him on the head and
inficting a painful though not serious
wound. And again McCarty turned and
made away.
At this juncture Officer T. P. Riordan
was hailed, and he. Joined in the pursuit,
and soon overlook the reckless youth. The
officer started with his prisoner for the
Southern police station. When they
reached the corner of Ninth and Brannan
streets the officer stopped to speak to an
acquaintance, and at moment when he
was off his guard McCarty struck him a
terrible blow and knocked him down. But
the officer quickly regained his equilibrium
and very soon had McCarty once more in
the clutches of the law, and locked him up
for further reference insthe Police Court
to-day. McCarty had in his possession, in
addition to the stolen pick, bundle con-
tanning several bars of soap.

P0TTED PLANTS FOR THE MOLE.
A suggestion From the Directors of tn
Merchants Association,


Merchants Association.
The board of directors of the Merchants
Association has indited congratulatory
communication to the Harbor Commits
sioners. The members of the board ex-
press their satisfaction in the improved
appearances of the streets along the water
front, of which the increased cleanliness
makes very pleasant impression on
visitors to the city. The association ap-
proves the proposed planting of trees at
points on the water front where they can
be made to grow
1t is suggested that the station at the
Oakland mole might well be beautified by
potted plants, which could be secured
probably from the park or from public
spirited persons who own large grounds.
Ii such a plan of decoration We're found
feasible it might be extended to the new
union depot on this side OF the bay The
Association considers that it is important
to make favorable first impressions upon
visitors, since those impressions are usually
the most lasting.
