A BAY PIRATE ARRESTED,

of Burglary and Va

The Police Believe He Has Been Com.

Alfred Smith, who, according to the
waterfront police, is ebay pirate" and
"dope fiend," was detained at the City
Prison yesterday morning by Policemen
]. NJ. Dwyer and George Brown on the
charges of burglary and vagrancy.
The complaining witness in the burglary
charge is James Colville, owner of the
sloop Comfort, and memb ber of the Asso-
ciated Engineers. There is no direct evil
dence against Smith, but the arresting
officers are working on the case.
II came here from the East about two
months ago. said Colville yesterday,

''Not being familiar with the business 1

hearing of my wish called upon me and
offered his services. ! agreed to take him
in as partner and to give him one-third
of the profits. He was with me for five
days and did nothing but lie around and
eat and drink.

Smith is lanky looking fellow, 26 years
of age. In 1887, while employed in Je-
MOTIFS clam market on Clay street, he was
sent in boat with $62 to Pinole to pay
the mems wages. He left the boat, which
was wrecked. He was arrested but escaped
conviction. He was also arrested on sus-
picion of breaking into the room of John
Olsen. owner of the sloop Lizzie, on Val
leio and Davis streets, and stealing his
watch and chain, but Olsen refused to
prosecute him.

remarked that it was funny they didn't
steriliZe the tables and chairs: whereupon
one of the physicians, without the SEM
blance of smile, ushered the party into
another room, where the operating table
was, and gravely pointed out the appara-
tus used to sterilize it. The humorously
inclined person was silent thereafter.
One part OF the building is devoted en-
tirely to baths. There are mud baths. va
por baths, sulphur baths and some sci
entific baths that layman can poorly de-
scribe.
Every bath at the WaIdeck conforms to
the law of sterilization. DR.. Cooper even
went so far as to suggest that the press
representative be sterilized to show one of
the particular processes employed.
The dumbwaiters, the elevator, the venti-
lation and every one of the various mechan-
isms IN the structure are operated by elec-
tricity, large dynamo being situated in
the basement.
All in all, the building in entirety and
in detail, in scientific equipment and in
appliances for ease and comfort is one of
which San Francisco can Justly be proud.
One novel feature is the donating of GER
tain rooms for the use of the press, the
police and INDECENT patients free of charge.

lowing physicians, surgeons, gynecolo-
gists, ocullsts and aurists: Consulting

points Leila Adair at the

A heavy Scotch mist began sweeping
dismally through the park yesterday dur
ing the earlier part of the afternoon.
Crowds of gayly dressed people had
thronged there, but the band had scarcely
begun the second number on the pro-
gramme when the wind and the rain
came and great was the falling off there
upon of the multitude which poured out
in disappointed flood down through the
gates into the City.
Apparently the most disappointed one
of all was Leila Adair, the aeronaut at the
chutes. Her big balloon was nearly in
fiated with hot air and was straining at
the ropes. She held the trapeze in her
hands. Word was given to let go and the
balloon rose few feet in the air,
but only few feet and then showly
sank.
Its busted!" cried little boy on
Haight street, using hole in the fence
for trumpet. The Information, however,
was unnecessary. The expectant crowd
had also seen the big rent in the side, and
so the ascension was postponed until next
Sunday.
The museum at the park was crowded
all day. During the past week over 5000
visitors passed through the gates.

A Divorced and an Unhappy Woman
Shoots Herself in the Head.
At o'clock Sunday morning the report
OF pistol shot attracted the roomers at
51S Geary street. Investigation showed
that woman known as Mae Kline had
sent bullet through her brain.
In her room letter was found from her
friend who signed himself Fred, saying he
would have no more to do with her. This
probably caused her to end her life.
During the afternoon of yesterday
Fred" called at the Morgue and stated
that his name was Fred Bastain and that

Little is known about the woman on this
SIDE OF the bay further than that she was
married to railroad man named Kline,
who died some years ago in Oakland. She
afterward married another railroad hand
named L. l.. Holden. who obtained q
divorce from her in one of the Alameda
County courts.
She and Bastain came to this City from
across the bay few months ago and she
at once started into the half world, which
rom Bastain's letter did not please him,
SO ne notified her that he would desert her.
Ihe suicide of the woman was the result.

Besides the races there was the usual
performance of contortionists and tight
rope walkers. 1t is the intention of
Colonel Robinson to thoroughly equip tie
baths with all the necessary turning
boards and to have correctly measured
courses of all distances from fifty yards
up to five miles, and to institute series
OF champion amateur races, and with the
talent which the Colonel believes avail
able he will undoubtedly break some
world records.
"There is no limit to the wonders in
Flora's domain" remarked head gar
dener Holbrow in the conservatory in
the Park yesterday as he drew attention
to some line ferns that he Keeps under
glass and in the shade. ''Tkis is the film
fern OF the most delicate texture. Its
botanical name is Todea Superba. 1t is
from Australia, and grows under cascades
where the spray may continually reach 1t.
1t will not live without water, and in order
to keep it alive here it has to be sprayed
very frequently during the day. Another
variety of 1t is the Prince of Wales fern,
so named because it grows like the plumes
that are SO familiar with the motto Ich
Diem under them.
I'm this same case there is what is known
as the hog's-ear fern, very rare plant,
which receives its name from its resem-
blance In shape to hogs ear"
One OF the beauties in bloom In the
conservatory at this time is the Asiatic
iily, which from a mass of large green
leaves is sending forth number OF very
pretty white blossoms. In the big pond
may be seen some beautiful water lilies OF
blush and yellow color, while on the edge
OF the pond is a Mexican orchid that is
sending forth flower that is remarkable
for its markings of yellow and brown. 1t
Is known as the Oncendium.
