IT COMES SUDDENLY.
A Note Of Warning to Careful Mind ed
People.

Note Of Warning to Careful Mind ed
People.
Scarcely day passes that one does not hear
OF men and women who were in perfect health
being suddenly stricken down by that terrible
disease, pneumonia.
At no time of the year is this dangerous COM
plant SO extremely prevalent as during the
present season. There are constant changes;
one day is as mild as summer, the next is bit
terly cold. The very air is filed with disease,
and the slightest exposure often results in
pneumonia. 1t is disease that comes sud
denly, and it is all the more dangerous because
it comes unannounced. A tickling in the
throat, tightness in the chest. difficulty in
breathing and feeling of weakness, all may
mean the beginning of pneumonia. tits above
all things disease that requires prompt treat
ment, for ii reaction is brought about the
danger may soon be over; if not, the end may
be near. Any physician who is called In case
of pneumonia prescribes stimulant stantly !;
but it is always some reliable stimulart such
as pure whiskey-all else is useless.
1t is precisely for this reason that SO many
physicians prescribe that standard and reliable
whiskey known as Duffy's pure malt. It.has
saved the lives of thousands who were on the
high road to pneumonia in its worst FORM and
it has both prevented and cured the most dam
gerous forms of pulmonary complaints. AS a
great Strengthening, yitaliZing remedy it has
never been equaled. Be sure that you get
Duffys pure malt, no matter how much you
may be urged to try something cheaper.

The Grand Qnera.House.

Good acting and fine scenic effects combine
to render 1.-The Red Poeket-boOk'' play OF
rare interest. The large audiences at the
opers-house are obliged to keep their nerves
under control IN order to avoid being fright
ened out OF their wits by the succession of
storms, explosions, wrecks, fires and other dis
asters with which the piece abounds, and
which give opportunity for some magnificent
displays of stage mechanism.
According TO the plot NJ. Durome, banker.
is robbed of q red portemonnaie, containing
80 900 livres, by NJ. de Folbert, who murders
his victim after robbing him. The crime is
bruno, who suffers all manner OF trlbula-
tions In consequence. His name is at
length cleared, the villain is led of
to the g'Iillotine, and the hero marries the girl
he loves in the proper, orthodox fashion. Oar

in virtuous roles, Eugene Moore seeming to
have a monopoly of the villainy. Minna Ferry,

FRED G|BSON'S FORTUNE,
His Brother James of Sacra-
mento Arrested for Grand
Larceny.
The Complaining Witness in the Case
Is Mrs. Leila Gibson, His
Sister.in.LaW.

James A. Gibson was arrested last night
by Detectives Anthony and Crockett on a
warrant charging him with grand larceny.
The complaining witness is Mrs. Leila
Gibson, wife of his brother, Fred Gibson,
OF Our House saloon, on Market street,
near Sixth.
Fred Gibson and his wife, while living
in Sacramento three wears ago, agreed to
separate, and he divided the community
property with her. He then had saloon
there, and part of her share was the saloon.
Gibson went to Arizona with his brother
James. where they remained ten months
After returning to Sacramento Gibson and
w. Cook, who is now his partner in the
saloon on Market street, went to South
Africa and stayed there about a year.
They returned to this City and purchased
the Our House saloon.
On February Gibson went to the Ger
man Hospital to have an operation per-
formed. He wrote to his brother James,
giving him instructions as to where his
body was to be buried in the event of the
opera ton not being successful and as to
other matters. He was removed from the
hospital about three weeks ago. and his
mother came from Sacramento to nurse
him.
On March 16 James was telepboned for
and arrived here the following day. Glib
son had told his partner. Cook. to go the
Safe Deposit vaults and give his mother
all the money, about $4,000, on deposit
there, as he believed he was dying. Cook
drew the money and gave it to Gibson's
mother, In presence of her dying son.
James suggested that she should permit
him to take it with him to Sacramento, as
it would be safer there, and she consented.
Mrs. Leila Gibson came to the City from
Sacramento Sunday and called to see her
husband for the first time since his illness.
She learded that James had taken the
600 to Sacramento. and yesterday
swore out warrant before Judge Low for
his arrest. After the Judge had been ap-
prised of the facts last night he released
James on his own recognizance. His
brother Fred is expected to die at any
moment.

Try-Outs for tho May Boxing Exhibi-
tion OF the Club.
Alta call from Superintendent Kennedy
OF the Olympic Club the boxers of the San

to contest in the try-outs that took place
last evening at the Olympic.
The object of giving those impromptu
material from the army of amateur boxers
OF the various clubs for the May exhibition
OF special match contests which will be
held at the Mechanics Pavilion.
"A iage gathering of young men, who are

nedy and they were accorded an oppor-
tunlty OF proving to the 500 spectators
who witnessed the trials of their
fessor George Green, the clever exponent
OF boxing, tried out O'Brien, 145 pounds,
and Lynch, 145 POUNDS, both of the San
Francisco Athletic Club. Lynch proved
to be a first-class man and will certainly
take place among the ones who will be
chosen to appear at the exhibition when
the "try outs are completed.
Mcmahon OF the Olympic Club "tried
OUT Cuneo, 115 pounds, of the Manhattan
Club and Carey, 13O pounds, of the San
Francisco Athletic Club.
Tom Carroll, another clever OLYMPIC
Club boxer, tried out King, 100 pounds, of
the Manhattan Club and Ford, las pounds,
of the Manhattan Club. The final bout
was between Lawlor of the San Francisco
Club and Riley OF the Manhattan at 115
pounds. Lawlor is a game little fellow,
but he was not as shrewd as his opponent.
Tho bouts were cleverly contested and
attracted much attention. The next try
outs will take place next week.

At the Auditorium,


Somehow the minstrels attract people. It
may lie that their jokes are coarse and stale,
their voices poor and their elocution noticeable
only by its lack; yet even poor minstrel show
can draw crowd. But there are minstrels
and minstrelS Those now at the Auditorium
while funny enough to keep the audience con-
vused, display so much real artistic merit in
their methods that critics who go to scoff re-
main to praise and enjoy. These minstrels are
no lampblack or burnt cork affairs, but the
genuine Georgia article, and their perform
ance throughout while displaying careful
preparation and study, is marked by natural
ness positively charming.
The African Or chestra is specially deserving
of mention on account of Its fine rendering of
classic and popular compositions; nor are
bones, tam mbourines and the joyial middleman
lacking. The first part of the programme

self up into the most alarming knots: Messrs
Moore and Kemp give some clever impersona-
tions of old men, and "the only Jaloon" goes
through some interesting feats of paror
magic. Mr.. Hillman's song and dance "La
Pasamala," some fine singing by the Crescent
City Quartet and neat comedy work by Will
liam Kersands are also features of this part of
the programme.
"Lucy's Lawn Party" farce in two scenes,
by Neil Moore, is the last number and has
thus far teen greeted with every mark OF ap-
probation. The acting is excellent there be-
ing not the slightest approach to anything
forced or overdrawn. 1t looks as though the
Georgia MinstreIs had "tcok."
