The doctor added that though he was a
orator, he had always been declared out of

eve could not lock the doors upon late
corners. We have not the right to do
that, for if people hold tickets they are
entitled to admission. We do possess the
legal right to prevent the tardy, from TAX
ing seats during the progress of an act.
Tickets are bought subject to the rules of
the house whatever they may be.
1.-The tardiness is not confined to any
one class. 1t is an individua! shortcom-
ing. The only persons to whom the regu-
lation might work an injustice are those
who are necessarily detained. For in
stance, owing to an accident on a Powell
street car, thirty people were nearly an
hour late at one of the recent perform
ances. Still, such cases are rare"
Mr.. Bouyier showed some righteous in
dignation over the common practice of
donning wraps and even leaving seats be-
fore the final curtain fall. "It is a piece
of objectionable rudeness," he exclaimed
with vehemence. But" he added, sit is,
unfortunately, beyond our control. We
cannot prevent people from leaving the
house when they choose.
1.-THE Oakland contingent is occasionally
compelled to leave before the close of the
play in order to catch the II o'clock boat,
but when Oakland people leave it is al
ways with half apologetic air that is ex-
planatory. The arrangement for the II :15
boat largely obviates that difficulty"

MERCED'S BANK MIDDLE
Charges Brought by Deposit
OrS Will Be Heard on
the 18th Inst.
Commissioners Kilburn, Fuller and
Magee May Be Crlminally
Prosecuted.

At the instance of Attorney General W.
F. Fitzgerald a complaint was forwarded
to the County Clerk of Merced County
last evening, asking that the Bank of
Merced be declared insolvent. This action
on the part of the Attorney General was
necessary owing to the muddle in which
the bank has been placed through the ar
rest of the Bank Commissioners, Kilburn
Fuller and Magee.
The complaint openly charges the Com
missioners with violating that section OF
the bank act of 1895 the gist of which is,
''That the Bank Commissioners, upon be-
ing notified that bank has become in
solvent, must report the said insolvency to
the Attornev-General." The failure to do
this is a criminal offense, and conse-
quentlv comes under the jurisdiction of
the Prosecuting Attorney of the respective
county in which the bank failed.
Another technicality of considerable i'm
portance comes up in connection with the
citation which was issued by Judge Law
OF Merced yesterday morning recurring
Commissioners Kilburn, Fuller and Ma
gee to appear in the Superior Court on the
18th inst. and answer the charges and
show cause why they should not be de-
prived of their office.

]. ]. Gottlob of the Columbia recognized
the existence of the evil. at isn't nice, of
course" he said smilingly, "but I fear
any plan to check the practice will prove
impracncable. 1t was tried when I was
associated with the California Theater and
we found the talking among those de-
tanned at the rear Of the house was almost
as much an interruption as seating them
would be. l doubt whether any theater
pool would prove a remedy. The parties
to such pool are not likely to keep faith
long. After a week or two some one would
be sure to slide out. Then the late-comers
are the fashionable folk who dine at late
hour, and we can't afford to lose their
patronage"
Mr.. Gottlob thought the newspaper cru
sade against the large hat at the theater
had been successful. "Ladies have come
to see that small hat, or none at ALL is
far more becoming and appropriate than
the Galnsborough, and the newspapers
have made them see it. Let the press in
culcate sentiment against late arrival at
theaters. That's the proper thing"
"Such plan could not be adopted at the
TivoG, said Mrs. Ernestine KEELING. "For
one reason, we commence earlier than most
of the theaters in order to accommodate
the patronage from outside the City.
There are fifty or sixty clubmen and mil
honalres who are in the habit of dropping
in at the Tivoli to sit through one act and
smoke cigar. Next evening they see an
other act and so on. We could not dis
pense with their custom. No. the scheme
IS not within the scope of the Tivoli.''
Harry W. Morosco, the business man.
ager of Morosco's Grand Opera-house,
thought such measure unwise because it
would antagonize the public.
Richard Mansfield, artist that he is,
plays to small houses here and elsewhere
because he had the temerity to censure
audiences for tardiness. The theater
going public does not want to be dictated
to, and if it cannot follow its own wishes at
place of amusement it is likely to stay
away. There is another factor in the
question that must be considered duly, - he
said. 'tSome people like to come late to
show themselves, and they must be al
lowed that privilege"
Mr.. Morosco was also of the opinion that
the press should show the people the
selfishness and rudeness of the practice.

MRS, VAN c0TT IN TOWN.
A Famous Methodist EvangeI-
ist Who DisapproVes
of BIoomerS.
Before Women Clamored
for the Ballot.

Mrs. Maggie Van Cott, the noted Meth
odist evangelist, who has just arrived in
this City, is remarkabl woman in many
respects. She has been public speaker
for over thirty years, yet she does not
banker to WELD the ballot, she thinks
bloomers are unladylike and has absolute
ly no sympathy for the new woman.
In appearance Mrs. Van Cott looks as if
she had stepped out of the frame of picture
of some old-time Puritan dame tall and
stately. Her severely picturesque gown is
relieved by little bands of white at the neck
and throat, and on her curls is crisp
white cap. Her one ornament is the little
gold cross that glitters on her breast. AS
for her manner, 1t is as quaint and old
world as her dress, and it seemed natural
to hear her, reply simply in answer to q
question about her journey:
81 came from New York and am going
to heaven. Where are you going?"
Mrs. Van Cott will stay in San Francisco
several weeks, holding meetings at the
Howard-street NJ. E. Church, where she
will make her first appearance next Sun
day morning. 1t Is seventeen years since
she was here before, and she remembers
the city with a good deal of affection.
When questioned about the progress made
| by women during that time she said:
81 thought then and | think still that
there is no place more glorious for woman
| than her home, no calling more beautiful
| than shaping the charac cter of her children.
| God intended that woman should rule the
world-you will laugh at me, no doubt
| but do not think it was to be by the bal
| lot box, but in her home.
II was the first woman to be made a
| local preacher in the M. E. church, ana
that was in '6S: but. though I heartily ap-
| prove of more preaching and praying, /
| do not think women should be in church
conferences; there is nothing to be gained
| by their being there. This land was better
years ago than itjs to-day, and yet here
| the women have been talking and rantlng
and raving over this ballot-box question
all the time; gadding about and attending
| to everything but their own children"
| 1t is strange that with all her old-time
| views respecting women Mrs. Van Cott
| took the reins of her husbands business
| when she was little over 20 years of age,
| and during his lingering illness of thirteen
years she was the breadwinner for the
| family, and earned the bread by doing a
| mans work in hel husbands office.
| After she became a widow she took to
evangelical work and was made a local
preacher, but in all the years that she has
been going through the land she has never
been led to indorse the ballot, the bloomer
or the new woman.
"Bloomcrs Ugh! consider them un-
| ladylike," she said yesterday. "a child
or a young girl might wear them, but a
woman of my years, for instance, never
pity and feel sorrow for manly woman
| / feel disgust for womanish man, and
! the woman who wears bloomers is losing
some of the gentle dignity of her SEX"

AS regards the constitutionalitY of the

dent Carnot it was the same, but the mis-
fortune is that this time Albora's bill
makes good excuse. He justifies himself
by saying that late on Saturday afternoon
he saw the decorations in Washington
Square were insufficient and he ordered
others, because there was not time to con-
suit with the committee.

CLEAR LAKE POWER.
Another Scheme for Transmitting E1es
tricity to San Francisco.

Another Scheme for Transmitting EIec-
tricity to San Francisco
o. E. Moore of Lakeport, Lake County.
has sent report to the Manufacturers
and Producers Association relative to
utilizing the waters of Clear Lake for cleo
trical purposes. After describing the lake
and the possibilities of obtaining enough
water to operate an electric plant for the
transmission of electric energy to San
Francisco, Oakland and the towns along
the line, Moore tells of corporation of
Lake County property owners that pro-
poses to use the waters of the lake for the
purpose stated. The organization is called
the Clear Lake Electric Power Company.
He says that the trustees have filed water
rights on Cache Creek, the outlet of the
lake, and are now at work securing the
right of way for transmission through
Napa, Vallejo, Benicia Berkeley, Oakland
and San Francisco. He says that the cor
poration has no money to construct the
works, but that the trustees desire to pro-
tect the lake in its present status and to
negotiate for capital on terms satisfactory
to the people of Lake County.
In conclusion Moore says that power in
almost unlimited quantity can be trans
mitted to San Francisco at one third the
cost OF steam power at the present price
of coal.

POLICE APPOINTMENT.
Warrant Out fer the Arrest of NJ. P.
TerriIl for FraudulentIy Obtain
ing Money.

H. Kiley, 1905 Devisadero street, ap-
peared in Judge Campbell's court yester-
day, and swore to warrant for the arrest
of M. P. Terrill on the charge of obtaining
goods and money by false pretenses.
Kiley in his complaint stated that on
May % Terrill called upon him, and repre-
sented that by. reason of his friendship
and influence with John Daley, the milk
man on Valencia street, he could secure an
appointment on the police force, and if
Kiley wanted to have man appointed,
Terrill would obtain the appointment for
any man he might name on payment of
500. which he would hand over to Daley.
kiley gave Terrill the $50, and has since
then been anxiously waiting for the prom
ised appointment. As it did not material
lze, he called upon Daley and ascertalned
to his surprise that Daley was not ac-
quainted with Terrill, and did not know
anything about any appointment on the
police force. He accordingly swore to the
warrant for Terrill's arrest.

COLONEL MENDELL'S IDEA
1t Is an OffenSe to Blockade 6
Navigable Stream or
Slough.
One Hundred Sportsmen VIII Shoot
on the Teal Clubs Preserve
on Tuesday.

A majority of the sportsmen of this City
have satisfied themselves that if the Teal
Shooting Club has blockaded a single
navigable slough on its preserve, it is
amenable to the law.
Colonel G. H. Mendell said Yesterday
that the blockading of navigable slough
orRwaterway was certainly transgression
of the Federal law.
"You can see by this extract from the
river and harbor act. approved ON Sep.
tember 10, $780," said the colonel, othat
severe punishment awaits any person or
persons who construct or cause to be
constructed any obstacle that will impede
or obstruct navigation"
Section 10 of the extract i'll question
reads:
That the creation OF any obstruction not
affirmatively authorized by law to the naviga-
bic capacity OF any waters, in respect of which
the United States has Jurisdiction, is hereby
prohibited. The continuance of any such
obstruction, except bridges, piers, docks and
wharves and similar structures erected for
business purposes, whether heretofore or mere
alter created, shall constitute offense and
each weeks continuance of such obstruction
shall be deemed separate offense Every person
and every corporation which shall be guilty
OF creating or continuing any such unlawful
obstruction in this act me ntioned, or who shall
violate the provisions of the last four pre-
ceuing sections OF this act, shall be deemed
guilty OF mfsdemeanor, and on conviction
Thereon shall be punished by fine not ex-
ceedlng $4,000, or by imprisonment lin the case
OF natural person) not exceeding one year, or
py both such punishments, in the discretion of
lhe court; the creating or continuing of any
unlawful obstruction in this act mentioned
may be prevented and such obstruction may
pc caused to be removed by the injunction
OF any circuit Court exercising jurisdiction
IN any district in which such obstruction
may be threatened or may exist; and proper
proceedings in equity to this end may be in
stltuted under the direction of the Attorney
General OF the United States.

to open unless he was convicted. For one
brief moment Durrant hesitated before re-
pl"lng, and then, with the utmost non.
chalance, said he had not.
This was enough, however, to set aflash
again rumors long dormant because OF
newer sensations and theories advanced

gentleman does not deny, though he is
cautious enough not to say anything which
can De positively construed as an admis-
sion that the prosecution is in possession
OF such important evidence.
II do not care to talk about the matter at
the present time" Mr.. Barnes said last
night. 1.-The question may have been asked
at random or it may have been prearrang-
ed plan. 1t would not be right to talk bout
the matter just now, though l do not mind
saying that If the cross.examination is
continued any further on this line it may
be assumed as true that the prosecution is
standing on fact and not theory"
In consequence of this equivocal state
ment the cross-examination, which con-
tlnues this morning, will be listened to
with absorbing interest.
Just what testimony will be introduced
IN rebuttal is of course not known, though
1t IS generally thought that an attempt
VIII be made to show that Durrant is
possessed of more than ordinary strength
and quite capable of carrying the body of
Blanche Lamont to the tower under the
conditions which are supposed to have ex-
listed at the time of the murder.

way that left no doubt as to his strength

slderably larger than Durrant, was knocked
down by the latter. The only weapons
used BY the young medical student on that
occasioniwere his fists.
