appearance of a military headquarters this
week. The Veteran Guard OF California,
G. A. R., the only organization of its kind
in the world and a self-sustaining and
independent body of war veterans, is
temporarily in the show business, although
the soldiers themselves are not the chief
actors.
The you and l" company, composed of
Eastern talent, among which Harry Con-
ners, the inimitable Irish comedian, is a
prominent figure, has almost completed a
weeks successful engagement, that will
end Sunday night with the rollicking
comedy Fun on the Bristol" to be first
presented at the matinee performance

a young and pretty San Francisco girl, will

in the character of Nora O'Brien, the
daughter by second marriage.
One of the characteristic features OF the
evening performances, introduced as a
curtaln-raiser, IS war camp scene tableau
presented by the veterans, who, grouped
carelessly about campfire, are first seen
singing "Tenting on the Old Camp
Ground" and then going through the
movements required by guard mount and
those necessitated by sudden flank attack.

A SELECT READING.


j. j. Ayers Entertained an Audience in
Pioneer Hall Last Night.
]. J. Ayers read mum ber of selections
from his Biographical Historical Sketches
of California; to small though attentive
audience in Pioneer H Hall last evening.
Mr.. Ayers besides being one of the pio-
neer journalists of the State is versatile
writer and pleasing speaker. His read
ing was listened to with marked interest.
He began with a picturesque descrip-
ton of his entrance through the Golden
Gate in 1649, and by a number of careful
and appropriate selections led his hearers
up to the dawning of San Francisco's per-
manent prosperity, touching entertain
ingly on phases of the City's earlier history
most replete in romantic incidents of
stirring character.
Among his personal "reminiscences which
gave his hearers much amusement was an
account of his short experience as a MEM
ber of a barn storming theatrical troupe.
1t was in the early days, and with the
usual receptions accorded by mlning-camp
audiences fighting way out of town and
swimming ice-cold streams in the noun
tains, the experiment was enough 20 last
the writer and reader lifetime.
In that part of the reading referring to
the water-side epoch in San Francisco's
history, when the tapping tide wavelets
tum bled over one another where the
heavy trucks now rumble along the whole
sale thoroughfares below Sansome street,
there were many interesting statistics.

occasionally, but this affair has been going
on for some time, and there has always

make it up.

confession, but it bears out what l have

ADe's confession was complete, and tai
lies SO thoroughly with the facts obtained
by the detectives that Chief Lloyd says ne
believes it to be true.
Abe says that Mrs. Willmore prompted
the boys in their nightly burglarles, ana
that she took the money and helped them
10 hide 1t in the various places where IL
was found by Captain Wilson and the de-
tectlves. Chief Lloyd has always main
tanned that the woman was guilty party,
ana when The CALL published the ex-
elusive information two weeks ago that
Mrs. Wlllmore would be arrested the
statement was on reliable Information. the
source OF which could not be divulged at
the time. Mrs. Willmore used to return
from prayer-meetings and then, according
to Abe's confession, lay the plans with
the boys for their burglaries. She has
been the most active figure IN the proceed
lngs, and has by her manner successfully
prevented any suspicion from being di-
rected toward her house. She it was, sc
the boy says, who proposed that the pro-
ceeds of the Girard robbery should be
placed behind the picture, and the subter'
fuge of the pillows being put to bed tc
give the appearance of the boys being in
their room was also an idea of hers. This
was done SO that Ina would be deceived
and would not be too curious about the
boys.
