A HORRIFTING STREET SPECTACLE.
A Woman Named Parker Nearly
Roasted Alive.
Her Dress Caught Fire, and She Ban
Into the Street With Her Whole
Body Ablaze.

The horrifying spectacle of a poor
woman running about the street envel-
oped in flames from head to foot and
screaming with untold agony, almost
paralyzed the people on Third street.
nearly in front of the RECORD UNION
Office, about half-past 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
The unfortunate victim was woman
named Parker, who occupies q room in
the lodging house of Mrs. VAIL on the
west side of the block. She had just
started to light a coal oil stove when in
some manner her clothing took fire and
she ran screaming down into the street.
1t is thought she dropped some oil on her
gown, and that when she struck the
match it was SO close to her person that
the oil ignited.
AS soon as the Mortified spectators
could recover from the first shock of the
sickening spectacle, scores of men ran
from all directions toward the suffering
creature and tried to extinguish the
flames that were fairly roasting her
alive.
The day was very hot, and the majority
of the men were coatless, but those who
had them pulled Oft their outer garme
and tried to smother the fire. Railroad
Commissioner II. NJ. I.aRue was among
the first TO reach the sufferer, and one of
the most courageous of the many who
sought TO save the woman. His coat was
ruined IN the attempt, as were those of
several other brave men.
There was, however, no concert of ac-
ton owing TO the excitement of the mo-
ment, and while some were trying to
smother the flames, others were endeav-
Oring TO get hold OF some portion OF the
woman's clothing to strip it from her
person.
Finally the poor creature was thrown
TO the pavement, partially enveloped in a
comforter. Still her clothing burned I'M
derneath her. and it had to be cut Oft.
Five hundred people were all shouting at
once and trying 10 do something, but all
intended well, and all was done that
could be done after all. The fire burned
over her abdomen for full four minutes,
and when they took her up, fire was still
beneath the blanket.
1t was most horrible sight, and the
poor woman's screams pierced the hearts
OF the hundreds who had gathered about.
AT last the woman was placed upon a
blanket and carried upstairs 10 her room
and physician summoned. 1t was
found that she was terribly burned from
the neck to the soles of her feet, and her
agony was heartrending. 1t was thought,
however, that she had not inhaled the
flames, and if this should prove true she
may recover, but her body will be ter
ribly disfgured.
When her Iow-out shoes were taken off
the skin came with them, leaving her feet
all raw, and the flesh on her legs was
| fairly cooked.
James McGrath was one of those who
struggled to smother the flames, and
while thus engaged be dropped his pock-
et-book, which contained, among other
things. diamond ring. 1t was picked
up by boy, who sold 1t to another lad,

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Another Victim Of the Unguarded
Y-Street Grade

Another Victim Of the Unguarded
Y-Street Grade.
After several persons had been injured
by accidents on the high and narrow Y
street grade, and the city had been put to
considerable expense in liquidating dam
ages, a fence was erected along portion
of the south side of the street, where the
canal runs, but the north side was left
unprotected.
On Sunday morning as Mrs. Edward
Malone of Highland Park was driving
into town in her phaetOn, she encoun-
tered a ranch wagon between Twenty
third and Twenty-fourth streets. One of
the horses attached to the wagon had an
ugly-loOking hood of some sort over is
head, which so frightened Mrs. Malone's
horse that the latter SHE'D and backed
over the EN- bankment, the phaeton turn

The occupant of the phaeton escaped
being killed by the horse swerving a
little 10 one side, and only a portion OF
the shattered phaeton fell upon her. AS
it was, she was badly injured about the
limbs, and otherwise bruised one OF

AN ELOQUENT QUARREL.

The suddenness with which the Senate
yesterday disposed of the San Joaquin
Valley terminal matter may or may not
have been inspired by the scandalous dis
closures of bribery which have been made
in that dignifed body. Still another
chapter of the story was the exciting
episode at the Golden Eagle Hotel Tues
day evening. That episode is valuable as
showing enthusiastically the source of all the
opposition which has been brought to
bear on the bill. In that affair G. w.
Cross, an attorney and lobbyist for the
Southern Pacific Company, permitted his
zeal to overcome his discretion so far as to
denounce the bill as a "steal." The
effectual manner in which he was taken in
hand and disposed of by Colonel Preston
was fully set out in yesterdays CALL. If
this incident is not sufficient to explain the
earnestness which has been exhibited lately
in efforts to show that the bill was '.un-
constitutional or ain the interest of the

LAW NOT ANARCHY.

In commenting upon our opposition to
the income tax, the Willows Journal says
That usually well-balanced and conservative
paper, the CALL, has recently become thor
oughly anarchist and outlaw in some respects.
1t is engaged in melting opposition to the law
and the powers that be- and if that is not
anarchy-aye, worse, treason-We do not know
the meaning of the words.
Well, the Journal doesn't understand the
meaning of words. Opposition to law
through the medium of the courts is not
anarchy, but resort to means provided
by the constitution for the protection of
the people against the entertainments of
Congress.
What would have been the condition of
this country had there never been any one
to dispute Congressional and legislative
enactments and bring them to the test of
the courts? The liberties of the American
people are largely due to those who at
their private cost and risk fight the battles
of the public and appeal from legislative
injustice to the abiding principles of the
constitution. If the income tax is con-
stitutional we will obey it, but we propose
to test it before we do.

box near the stage when we sang ''Pinafore''

Although we attended the wedding we
never saw the brides face. The ceremony took
place in the palace and was the sort of scene
one would imagine in the arabian Nights"
Although it was daylight all the light that en-
tered was colored as if it had shone through a
rainbow. The dresses and jewels of the dis
tinguished people present were dazzling. The
rites were very imposing, though they were
in Hindostani, of course, but there were per-
formances by dancing girls, as well as strange
weird music made by tom-toms and other na-
tive Instruments
After leaving India we went to Burmah,
and were in time to see something of the war
indeed, we were only few miles from Manda-
lay when the King capitulated.
l have some very curious relics that were
brought from the palace. One of them is
an embroidered umbrella that the Princesses
had used.
Penang and Hongkong were our next desti-
nations, but the strangest adventure we met
with happened in Japan.
A number OF opera companies had privately
advertised to play "The Mikado" there, but
had always been threatened with imprison-
ment If they persisted in giving the perform
ance, SO the work had never been played.
WE'LL we advertised it as f'Three Little Maids
from School, but of course the European and
American colonies knew quite well what it
was. The English Consul wanted to curry
favor with the Emperor so he represented that
the opera was very disrespectful to the NIikado
and kept sending US letters saying that he
would have US all arrested if we went on with
it. The strangest thing was that the attorney
who wrote the letters quietly told US to go
ahead and play "The Mikado" in spite of the
Consul.
Right up till o'clock of the day advertised
for the performance the Consul kept saying
that he would arrest US. That afternoon a
number of officials came down from the palace
with a long document asking whether there
was anything offensive to the Mikado in the
opera. AS we had changed the word 'Mikado"
to king" and had not used the word "Jap-
anese' In the libretto, my father signed the
document with a clear conscience, but all the
same there were number of officials present
at the performance, who watched every word,
to seeif 1t reflected on the Mikado.
The next morning the papers contained pas
sages something like this: "If her Majesty's
Consul had gone about the city as sandwich
man he could not have given better adver-
tisement for the Salinger Opera Company"
And they must have been right, for we were
able to double the prices all over the theater
and pack the house for two nights, which is an
unheard of thing in Toxic where the white
theater-gofng population is so small.

value relating to these industries.
News from the gold mines of California,
and, in fact, the entire Pacific Coast, will
be found upon the page devoted to that in
terest.
The news of the coast will be found con-
densed under the head OF Coast Review.

be repeated. This act was the one that most
interested the public and that brought Mas.
cagni the triumph of apotheosis. (By the way,
in the hour of triumph the composers wife
was so overcome with emotion that she tainted
and had to be carried out of her box.)
1t was difficult to Judge the fourth act az
Nine. Vidal, who was to have played the nurse,
was i'll, and her part was taken at short notice
by Nine. Rogers, who had not had time to learn
all the long and difficult role. 1t is stated
however. that the part is magnificent. The
fourth act conquered-if one can use the ex.
preston for an audience already conquered
universal favor, with the brilliant gavotte
heard in the distance, to celebrate the we'd
ding of Mary and Douglas. The final duet
between Ratcliff and Mary touc he'd the souls
of the most unfeeling-it is music that makes
one vibrate and shiyer, the sweet and passion
ate concentration of the whole drama OF love
and death. To me it seemed that in the phrase,
Sc Ghetto stat,
ST, negli Occhi ii bacio,
One felt the violins render the music of that
coveted kiss and the infinite delight that the
touch of Mary's adored lips shed in the soul of
the fierce and miserable Ratcliff. The last
act ended amid frantic applause and calls Tor

Was Mascagni's latest work a success? Yes.
not SO colossal as certain Milanese papers
would have US believe. The critics are unani-
nous in stating that ''Ratcllff'' confirms Mas
cagni's title to be considered great composer.
1t is a step, big step, forward-so say the
critics-one of the brightest pages in contem-
poraneous musical history. Above all, Mas
cagni is praised for his artistic taste in the
choice of a nbretto. A poem written with
rhymed seventies and sliding verses would
have offered him easier musical triumphsl
but Mascagni, who is an artist in the
true conception of the word, grasped al
the profound beauty of the tragedy andS
defying its difficulties, vanquished them. The
secret of the composer of fRatcliff's" success is
to feel intensely the poets conception, the
spirit of the characters and the grandeur of the
situations. He shows his feeling in his music
and makes the public feel with him.
The music of "Ratcliff" is picture and q
drama in itself-powerful in its strength and
its suggestiveness. Its success has also been
great, although the splendid execution Of al |

homage for the maestro who has taken another
step toward the luminous summit of musical

when l look back at the first four years

my fathers company toured through India for

most interesting part of our travels was when
we strayed into native states and principal

married he sent for our company to the palace
10 assist in the wedding festivities, which
lasted week.
what a gorgeous place that palace was!
They had SO crowded it with guests that late
corners had to live in tents. The word tent
does not give any idea OF the canvas pavilions
ana palaces that the Gaikwar had caused to be
erected for his guests. They were all padded
ana hung with magnificent tapestries. Our
rect sank into the carpets and cushions that
covered the ground, and every necessity and
luxury, even to beautiful baths, had been pro-
vided.
We were given six elephants to go about on
to the races, bull-fghts and other amusements
that were provided for the guests and large
sum OF money was paid Us for two performances

Our audiences were composed entirely of
wedding guests, and the bride, very young
girl, whose face was heavily yelled, sat in q
