THEY WILL NOT TELL.

The Committee Decides the Phelan
Competition and Keeps 1t Secret.
The fate of the artists who competed in
the Phelan competition for the best his
torical picture is already decided, for the
committee which is to award the prizes
met yesterday afternoon at the Art Insti-
tute, and after celebrating an hour and a
half, arrived at its decision. The men,
bers of the committee then dispersed, with
set faces and locked lips, resolved not to
betray their decision by so much as the
raising of an eyebrow.
Captain Robert Fletcher and +. 5. Sam
uels are the members of the committee ap-
pointed by the board ofdirectors as the clay
men" who had to give non-artist's opin-
ion on the pictures. Miss Alice Chitten-
don and Ernest Peixotto were the two
artists appointed by the competitors, but
as the lady declined to act, Douglas Tilden
was appointed in her stead. The fifth
member, chosen by the four appointees,
was Bruce Porter.
The reason given for guarding the secret
till to-day was that the committee wished
to communicate its decision formally to
the board of directors late this afternoon.
There is great curiosity in art and Bohe-
mian Club circles to know whether Mat
thews, Kieth or Pissis will win first prize,
and the mem bers of the awarding com
mittee made a mutual compact not to
frequent clubs or studios last night for
fear their secret should be surprised and
wrung from them.

THE HOME INDUSTRY FAIR.
Final Arrangements Nearly Perfected
for a Grand Exposition

Final Arrangements Nearly Perfected
for a Grand Exposition
A second conference of the committees
from the Mechanics Institute and the
Manufacturers and Producers Association
was held yesterday relative to holding a
big home industry fair in the fall. The
Institutes committee reported that the
trustees had approved of the recommen-
dations of the committees at the first
meeting. a little change had been made
regarding the articles TO be exhibited-in
this, that all shall be of Pacific Coast States
manufacture excepting such as are not
made on this coast and articles of
curiosity.
1t was decided that space and power
shall be free, and that the fair shall last
from September to October 8. The sub
iect of season tickets for members and for
the public in general, will be discussed
later. There will be thousands admitted
free of charge, such as schoolchildren.
The important matter of how the profits
OF the fair shall be disposed of did not
require so much discussion as was ex
pected. Mr.. Denicke of the institute ex.
planned that the last two expositions net
led SIS, S66 and the last five fairs netted
only $40, COO. The profits on the last fair
were $4,000. The trustees had decided
that as the last-named sum is about the
average of what fairly profitable exposi.

SHE LEADS IN BURGLARY
Daisy Cohen the First Of Her
Sex and Kind to Be
Convicted.
No Other Woman in San Francisco
Has Ever Been Found Guilty
of Similar Charge.

For the first time in the criminal history
of the State woman has been convicted
of burglary. Convictions for grand lar
ceny have not been few and petit lar.
cenists have been as numerous as the days
of a decade, but a woman burglar, pure
and simple, is novelty in the San Fran
cisco courts.
The woman was Daisy Brown, also
known as Daisy Cohen. She was verv
like the ordinary grand larcenist and her
victim was the usual man from the conn
try. He was w. Seikirk, miner from ST.
ezra County, and he had room in honse
on Ellis street. He had $50 in gold whieb
he kept in his room, and foolishly he told
where he kept it. A visit from the defend.
ant was the result. She was on burglary
bent, and she left with the miners $50 n
her pocket. She was caught, arrested
tried before Judge Wallace, was convicte5
and will be sentenced tomorrow.
The difference between burglary in the
first degree, the charge of which the woman
was convicted, and grand larceny ia
sufficient to make the case interesting
grand larcenist is one who, among other
things, takes money or valuables of anv
kind and any value from the person or
pockets of the owner. burglar is one
who takes property from the house of the
owner, and burglary in the first degree ia
where one breaks into a room or house
and takes what can be found. The
woman, while not the first woman SO
charged, is the first one to be convicted of
burglary in the first degree.

the mixture in little strips of tinfoll and
started out with his "patent corn cure.
he worked the sporting resorts, where
people were found whose corns caused
them trouble, and within q week Purvine
mad made $3.50 out of his corn salve.

he sold to his uncle, whom he had never
met, 81 90 worth of the stuff. He did not
md this out for several months, when he
accidentally met and became acquitted
with his relative.
The letter from Purvines father stated
that the old gentleman was about to
hasten to Cripple Creek to look after his
sons claim and see that no one got it
away. Purvine is working hard to get
money to go to Colorado and look after
his valuable mining property. At present

Further Irack-laying will now have to

across the Merced River, which will be
three or four weeks in building. Con-
tracts for the material for continuing
work when the Merced has been crossed

shippers were notified yesterday of their
good fortune. The contract for the trestle
bridges that will be required between the
Merced River and the San Joaquin was

This contract involves about $780, 600. Ihe
iron work for the San Joaquin bridge was

James H. James, sailor, was arrested
Sunday on charge of being drunk. When
searched at the City Prison gold watch

The matter was reported TO Captain

the jewelry. They soon learned that it
was stolen from the residence of Mrs.
Mary Thomas, at Shattuck and Rose ave-
nues, Oakland. last Saturday night.
James had been detained pending the
investigation and yesterday he admitted
that the iewelry belonged to Mrs. Thomas
of Oakland; but he made an original de-

There are very few who know that the
