THE "NEW PARK" is OPEN
That Is the Title of the Old
Grove-Street Theater
Transformed.
Dan Mccarthy Is Now the S'ar in
the Stirring Play of "CruiS.
keen Lawn"

The old Grove-street Theater has been
reiuvenated under the title of the Park
Theater and comes out in brand new
garb, under the management of William
E. Johns, who has taken a two years
lease.
New steps have been placed in the front,
a foyer has been added and several parti-
tions with glazed doors make the place
more in accordance with modern artistic
ideas.
New scenery is another feature, and the
scenic effect is enhanced by the addition
of colored lights.
The whole building has been thoroughly
renovated and repainted and a drop cur
tain on which is realistically reproduced
one of the natural beauties of the Y Yosemite
is the lessee's special pride.
The theater opened last night with the
Irish comedy, "Cruiskeen Lawn" in
which Dan Mccarthy is the star and Miss
Lou Ripley soubrette.
Other well-known members of the piece
are Charlie Swain, late of Morosco's, and
Miss Cloy Bouton, who was last with the
Warde-James company.
The plays for the following three weeks
will be "a Ram bier from Clare" THE
Pride OF Mayo" and True Irish Hearts"

Files His Annual
Report.
FEW CRIMINAL CASES.
Fourth.Class Postmasters Mainly
Responsible for Wrong
Doing.
INSPECTOR WHEELER's OPINION
The Work of the Fiscal Year Just
Ending Superior to All That Has
Gone Before.

Robert r. Munro, Inspector in charge OF
the San Francisco division of postoffice
inspectors, forwarded his report to the
department at Washington yesterday for
the fiscal year ending June 20. Speaking
of the work undertaken and completed
during the twelve months just ended Mr..
Munro said:
One of the most noticeable and gratifying
features OF our work the past year has been
the small number of criminal cases brought
against persons directly connected with the
postal service. don't know where you will
find more conscientious and honorable lot
OF people, taken as class, than those en-
ployed in the postal service The positions
are by no means sinecures, requiring, as l be-
Heye, more constant application than most
positions under the Government. That this
condition does not apply alone TO the racine
Coast is shown by a statement recently made
by Colonel NJ. d. Wheeler, the CHIEF Postofhce
Inspector at Washington. in which he said:
"1he public i'll general should feel proud of
the United States postal service and It's en-
ployes. say this because of the small num-
Der OF pos tmasters and employees in the differ
ent branches OF the postal service arrested last
month Tor criminal acts. have small tapu-
lation here showing the work OF the inspectors
for April, ana | feel much qualification in
noting that out OF over 10000 postmasters in
the entire United Sta tes only eight were proven
dishonest by their own acts, and but five
assistant postmaSters and four clerks OF the
many hundreds OF thousands OF such employees
in the service were found with diseased
sense af honor.
"The work accomplished by our inspectors
during the month OF April compares favorably
with that OF March, which was one OF the big
gest months we have had since the Inaugural
ton OF the inspector service. the total OF ar
rests being 1866 However, while the mum Der
OF arrests in April does not equal those made
during March by twenty persons, the falling
off does not signify a lack OF vigilance on the
part of the inspectors, but on the other hand
speaks better for the employees OF the postal
service, as there were fewer postmasters and
otner employees OF all classes arrested during
April than in March. This record for AIrll
shows that in addition to the eight postmas-
ters, five assistant postmasters and four clerks
in pos toffices, there three letter carriers,
one railway mail postal clerk and four mail
carriers on star routes arrested by the in
spectors.
"Our inspectors have not relaxed their
vigilence in the war of determination which
declared against p nstoffice burglars TWO
years ago, and each day heralds the arrest of
one or more burglars surely as the day rolls

LYNCH TELLS WHY
SHARKEY MAY WIN,
Saws Sullivan Was EX-
hausted When Put Out
by Corbett.

Before.
$4,000 OF SEATS ARE SOLD.
Sharkey's Manager Is on His Mettle
With His Money and Wants
to Bet $1,000
$4,000 OF SEATS ARE SOLD.

A great many people wonder by what
process of reasoning Thomas Sharkey, the
sailor lad with comparatively little ex-
perience, pretends to presume that he can
stand up before James J. Corbett, the
champion pugilist OF the world, for four
rounds.
Dan Lynch. the manager of Sharkey,
UNEXPECTEDLY furnished an answer to this
question Yesterday afternoon. In addi'
tion to this he talked boldly and backed
his assertions with his money, that
Sharkey would be in the fight with the
cham pion and in it at the finish.
At the Acme Athletic Club in Oakland
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. lynch stood in a
group of spectators who were watching
Sharkey smite the bag, skip the rope, pull
the weights and DO other things peculiar
TO the pugiIist when he is working up
wind, muscle and perspiration. A young
man stated that he did not think Sharkey
would stay two rounds before the cham
pion.
At that very moment the man who is
Going up against Corbett was giving an
active exhib ton of sparring with men,
Der OF the club in the hand ball court, and
his splendid physique was in evidence.
Dan Lynch overheard the remark. he
spoke up quickly, saying:
u have $1,000 and / viii put up any part
of it, two TO one, that that boy stays two
rounds. Let US see the color of your
money or stop talking"
The young man did not seem to have
noticed that Lynch was in ear-shot. He
replied that that was simply his opinion.
lynch, being somewhat stirred up, con-
tinued in the following strain:
Opinions among sporting men do not
amount to a crushed strawberry unless
they are backed with money. L will bet
YOU or anybody else in Oakland or San
Francisco $1,000 to $500 or any part of it,
from s. up, that Sharkey stays the four
rounds l am looking for that kind of
money"
Lynch paused long enough for anybody
10 produce coin, but nobody showed any
indications of backing his opinion with
money if he had an opinion TO the con-
trary. Then the manager OF the sailor lad

round. These statistics show that during
March we captured forty four, and in April we
placed forty postoffice burglars behind the
bars. This class OF criminals is by far the
most dangerous of all kinds that our men have
to deal with. and their vigorous efforts and
success are very gratifying
''The public also comes in for share of at
tentlon by postoff1ce inspectors, and it was
necessary for our men to arrest eighty-one
patrons for misusing the mails This class of
ofenoers includes those guilty OF forwarding
obscene matter, promoters of the 'green-goods'
sw1ndle and other fraud schemes, lottery COM
panles, agents, ETC."
There are people who are OF the opinion that
they can use the mails in conducting schemes
to defraud, but as a class they are decreasing
san francisco Jew years ago was a perfect
nest of sharpers-people who insisted on living
Dy their wits. Unfortunately for them, how
ever their schemes contemplated the use of
the mails. and that's where they came to grief.
Several OF them have been lodged at the ex-
pense OF the Government at San Quentin and
other similar institutions, and it has come to
be pretty generally known that fraudulent
schemes cannot be worked through the mails.
The division IN charge of Inspector
Munro comprises the States of California.
Nevada, Oregon, Washington and the
Alaskan Territory. For the fiscal wear
1888 postoffices within the territory named.
Forty-seven new offices have been added
within the last twelve months, and of the
1880 offices i'll existence June 20 only 1863

remaining Bill being fourth-class offices
and appointed by the Fourth Assistant
Postmaster-General.
In the four States and one Territory
comprising the Pacific Coast Division
there are only nine first-class offices, The
salary list and rating is as follows: San

Sacramento, $3.50; Tacoma, 5000; San

only six field inspectors. They are indi-
vidually and collectively expected to be
ready at any and all times to jump from
Los Angeles or San Francisco to Sitka or
some other equally remote Alaskan town.
There are only twenty postotfices in
Alaska, but they require as much atten-
tion and far more time as three times the
number in more civilized district.
The greatest evil the postal authorities
have had to combat within the past twelve
months has been the festive stage and
postoffice robber Up to January l of the
present year these knights of the dark
lantern made things decidedly lively in
Washington and upper California, but
numerous captures and convictions have
rather tended to dampen the ardor of
those escaping arrest, and who professedly
indulge in such pastimeS merely for the
pleasure there is in 1t.
