and daring of the leader the officers have
been extremely vigilant. No visitors have
been permitted TO see any of them during
cir two months residence at the County
Jail.
But yet under the flooring covered by
Pat Kelly's mattress these same vigilant
guards found two caseknives, long metal
handle Of a big stewpot and a curiously
improvised opium pipe, redolent with the
fumes that indicated recent use of the for
hidden drug. One of the iron-handled
caseknives had been used as a thin
bIaded saw and was cut into irregular
teeth, probably by the blade of the other
knife.
The opium pipe is certainly novelty.
The bowl is made of bit of broom handle
or piece OF the leg of chair, a little
basin being scooped out for the "dope"
and a channel cut through leading to the
pin-like opening in the middle of the
opium receptacle. But the stem is the
most unique part of this bit of everyday
handiwork by criminal supposed to be
deprived of all tools and the opportunity
to use them. It is made of a piece of
wrapping paper rolled into the shape of a
small tube. Where it is attached to the
wood the Joint is carefully made smoke
tight with plasterings of soap, while the
mouth end is protected from moisture by
a wrapping OF tinfoil.
In cell 80, with Pat Kelly, was John
Kelly. charged with burglary, but uncon-
nected with the arch-criminal trio, though
probably, the jaier thinks, willing or a
compulsory accomplice to the attempted
break.
This Pat Kelly and his partners, Corbett
and Gallagher, all of whom have aliases,
are to come up for trial tomorrow for
burglary and assault to murder. The
three are young men, their ages ranging
between about 81 and 80 years. Kelly is
the youngest, as he is the ta!lest of the lot
The jailer expressed the opinion yester-
day thai Kelly and Corbett are none other
than the notorious and mysterious "tall
man and short man" that stood up SO
many persons in this City several years
ago. He SAYS that both are good sailors,
and probably turned their seamaDship to
account by shipping from this port every
time the town got too hot for them.

voice of superhuman beauty, and to be
superlatively fair to the eye with regardto
her own personal charms.
This hysterical style of putting generally
begets skepticism, and it would scarcely be
an exaggeration to say that the greater
part OF the audience which nearly filled
the Baldwin Theater last night had assem-
bled more out of curiosity than in the ex-
pectation of really having an artistic treat.
They were agreeably disappointed, how
ever, for though it would be absurd to pre-
tend that Miss Yaw is all her press
agents fancy painted her she is never
theless remarkable singer, who startles
by her tours de force as much as she charms
by the grace of her vocalization.
In the lower and middle notes of her
voice, and up, indeed, to about the fifth
line in the treble cleft Miss Yaw, when
she uses her notes at their normal power,
has absolutely nothing remarkable about
her voice; 1t sounds an average organ of
the light soprano quality, rather sweet,
but showing the defect of faulty placing
in it's thrOatiness.
When, however, Miss Yaw begins to
sing mezza voce the quality of her voice
changes as if by magic, every note be-
comes clear, crystalline and exquisitely
sweet, and her execution is thing of
beauty, for it is as clear-cut and finished
as some minute cameo wrought by a mas
ter hand, every detail of which is perfect.
Her pianos and her pianissimos have
the same grace and sweetness that m axis
the mezza voce, and the notes above the
compass of the average singer were also
sweet, true and delicious in quality. Miss
Yaw did not sing to the full limit of her
advertised com pass. but she gave some
nh pn oil Ivy i0h nd hor
pleasant to listen to.
Miss Yaw is graceful young won an,
who has the gift of considerable naivete,
as well as of vivacity, and she showed her
good nature last night by giving num-
Der of encores. "VillanelIe,' by DELI
Acqua. was her opening number, and it
showed the graces of her voice admirably.
Her first encore was Laughing Song,
by Auber, which was more difficult than
it appeared from the ease with which the
vocalist rendered it. Coming Through
the Rye" the second encore, was sung
with good deal OF pretty expression, and
Miss Yaw made it vehicle for displaying
the graces of her voice, by introducing
some difficult cadenzas.
Miss Yaw's second aria was a theme
and variations, by Prach. The singing of
the simple theme showed no remarkable
talent, but the variations again showed
the singers striking execution.
A Swiss Echo Song" arranged espe-
cially for Miss Yaw, gave her an owor-
tunity of displaying the beautiful tone
colors of which her voice is capable. The
other encores she gave were "Old Ken
lucky Home and "Protestations," with
violin obligato. After every number Miss
Yaw was received with warm applause.
Macmillan Dick. the violinist of the
Yaw Concert Company, played with re-
markable sweetness OF tone and delicacy
and finish. He played "Ballade" and
"Polonaise' by Vieuxtemps; "Ronde des
Lutins" by Bazzini and a Caprice de
Concert by Musin, as well as several en-
cores, all OF which were enthusiastically

At the Orpheum.

A somewhat unusual act for this City has
been introduced by the Orpheum this week in
the Shape of Joseph Photos pantomime co M
pany Last night the performance was at the
END of the bill and, consequently, was marred
by the noise of departing audience, but, in
spite of the haste of some spectators to get
out the pantomime evoked a good deal of
laughter and induced a large portion of the
audience to remain until the curtain dropped.
The Photo act tells how Mephisto falls in love
with an innkeeper's daughter and on being
rejected makes things very uncom Portable for
the guests at the inn. Pierrot suffers most the
plates being whisked Off his table ard the
clothes off his bed. Mephisto's lively sprite is
murdered by the innkeeper and Pierrot, but
when they put the fragments together the
image suddenly comes to life and does more
mischief than ever. Finally a good fairy
forces Mephisto and his following to with
draw.
Joseph Photo, who played Pierrof, and Mar
tina Photo, who was Mephisto, are accom-
plished mimists and acted heir parts so that
no programme was necessary. Paul Barrett was
good as the innkeeper ana Hugo Steinback
was an excellent sprite. The rest of the cas-
was satisfactory. 'Mephisto to- is refined as

big hats had been removed, for in pantomime
acts the first requisite is to see, and vast ma
jority of the audience only obtained feeting
glimpses of the mimists through forests of
flowers and feathers which waved about on
ladies' heads.

team of Cushman and Holcombe, showed her.

Grand Opera-House.

"The Police Patrol" was presented to a large
audience in the Grand Opera-house last night.
The play, which has the merit OF a strong and
ineligible plot like all melodramas, abounds
in many sensations and number of striking
tableaux. There is the murder of rich uncle
by scheming nephew, who perpetrates this
crime to conceal forgery, aud then there is
constant effort on the part of the nephew to
keep out of the clutches of the police and a
determined effort on the part of the police to
fix the murder on the nephew.
There is a good deal OF comedy in the play,
which il rendered to the delight of the upper
gallery by E. J. Heron and Lottie Williams.
The police patrol scene, with a quick hitch
up, proved q great hit and was well enacted.
Miss May Capwell made her first appearance,
taking the part of housekeeper, and showed
good knowledge of stage business. Those in
the card deserving special ention are How
ard Kyle as Captain Hardy OF the police,
Walter Fessler as the nephew. Leslie Morosco
as Artful Joe, Frank Hatch as q colored uncle.
Victory Bateman as the dangerous witness
against the nephew and Julia Blanc as q
woman of the world.

HAS LAID HIS PEN ASIDE
Henry S Dalliba, a Pioneer
Journalist, Passes
Away.
Kindness and Absolute Fidelity Were
Characteristics by Which He Will
Be Remembered

II. G. Dalliba, worthy pioneer news
paper man of San Francisco, died at his
home, 1922 Laguna street, shortly after
o'clock yesterday morning. His death was
so painless that he seemed to pass away
in slumber.
Mr. Dalliba was born in Boston Novem-
Der IL. 1885, and came to California in 1850,
arriving here April of that year. Mining
engaged his attention fer two or three
wears and then he turned his thoughts to
journalism. He wrote for the Times and
Mirror first and later became one of the
proprietors of the Democratic Press. When
the Examiner was established in 1865 Mr..
Dalliba became it's business manager. In
1868 he joined the editorial staff of the
San Francisco Times and wrote for that
paper until it was purchased by the owners
of the Alta California.
In April, 1870, Mr.. Dalliba's services as
writer were secured by the Evening Bulle-
tin. His connection with that journal
continued without a break from the date
of his engagement in 1870 until early in
January, 1896. Much of his work was
done in the higher courts OF the law. AS
a court reporter he possessed special
qualifications. He was on terms of cor
Judges and lawyers Of his time. In
handling law papers he was gifted with
second sight, so to speak.
OF him it can be truthfully said that
"none knew him but to love him." There
was so much in him that was genuine
and sturdy and kindly that he had the
confidence of all with whom he came in
contact. Judges contided to him secrets
of decisions before they were made pub
lic He was the soul of sincerity and
frankness. Generous 10 fault and loyal
to his family. he accumulated very little
money.
Those who knew him intimately during
the last few years of his life saw the enac.
ton of a tragedy of which his lips uttered
no hint. He lost his wife and that broke
his true heart. The Bulletin changed
owners, and it soon became apparent to
him that he "lagged superfuous on the
STAGE" He lost his position on the Bull
letin, and then came many months in
which he vainly sought situations in other
lines of employment.
This supplemented old man never
thought evil because he never intended
evil. His opinion OF men whom he had
we'll known was favorable. When they
made excuses to him, his naturally proud
spirit was stung as with whips. Finally
poor health came and his days OF useful
ness he sadly found to be over. His children
sustained him with their labor and with
their consderate affection. There is not
q newspaper man in San Francisco who
knew Mr. Dalliba well who will not in
stinctively think of him to-day as .sDall, -
and many will say Poor Dali, lament
ing the flight of brave, sincere and chiv-
alrous spirit.
Five daughters and son survive him.
The funeral services will take place to-
morrow at $3.50 A. NJ. from 1922 Laguna
street, and a requiem mass Will be ceie-
brated at 10 A. NJ. at st. Mary's Cathedral,
on Van Ness avenue. The internent will
be at Holy Gross Cemetery.

gave orders TO the guards not to disturb
any of the cells but to stand watch and
permit the scheme to develop far enough
for the men to be unquestionably impli-
Gated.
Up to midnight nothing had occurred to
arouse the suspicious of the alert patrol
men. Then they were relieved by the
''Iate watch which goes on duty at that
hour.
Presently, apart from the indistinct
snoring and heavy breathing from scores
OF securely fastened cell doors opening
upon the corridor, a slight, muff1ed, graf
ing sound was distinguished by one of the
guards. The noise continued. 1t seemed
e to come from the first cell on the left and
nearest to the front of the building. There
was no mistaking Tue sound; it was the
peculiar grit of stone being dug into by
Some harder instrument.
1t was IN cell 30, next to which is re-
cerStion-room. In that room one OF the
armed guards posted himself. Another
'on patrol outside the western wall took up
his position Immediately opposite that
: particular, heavy, screen barred, narrow
slit that serves as high ventilating win
. dow for the cell whence issued the sus-
nicious sound. 1t was not likely that the
occupants could complete their work that
night but if they should break through
the masonry there were armed men ready
to receive them.
The guard outside, so near and yet I'M
sobseryed because of the height of the
small. screened opening and the thickness
of the wall. could distinguish the sound
Of cautious digging. Then, shortly before
dawn, the work ceased and the cell be-
came silent. On
49, Soft There were the
two occupants as usual. There upon the
sAoor in each of the back corners were the
two mattresses with their scanty covering
of bedding. On one wall was a small
shelf. Through the high slit streamed
narrow band of daylight in Upon the
was out of order. The boards OF the floor
appeared as usual, dark closely Joined
and solid.
The m mattresses were then drawn aside
and more careful examination was made
of the flooring A fine line across several
of the boards, all of which run length
wise of the little cell, showed where they
had been cut by some delicate instru-
ment: but so skillfuIly had the joints
been rubbed over and filled with soap
that they were not discernible except 10
close scrutiny.
The flooring was Immediately pried up
from the crossbeams upon which IL rests
only few inches above the earth, down
into which the partition and outer walls
of the prison are sunk to considerable
depth. .4
Then the whole sche mebecame evident
at a glance. and then the cool and calcu-
Iating Pat Kelly acknowledged the at
tempted iailbreak though he had before
denied all knowledge of 1t.
Several small chunks of the stone OF the
outer wall had been removed, while space
for them had been made by excavating
earth and throwing 1t well back under
other parts of the floor. The work had
not yet progressed very far, though the

Hay BARN BURNED.
Smith Bros Warehouse on Brannan
Street, With Five Hundred Tons
of Fodder, Destroyed.

Street. With Five Hundred Tons
of Fodder, Destroyed.
Smith Bros hay warehouse on Bran
nan street, between Seventh and Eighth,
with its contents, consisting of about 500
tons of paled hay, was destroyed by fire
last night.
When the department arrived on the
scene, in response to th alarm from box
152. turned in about 1925 O'Clock, the
whole structure was ablaze, and fearing a
spread of the flames to the neighboring
grain and hay warehouse of j. L.. Verm ell
81 Co., on the northwest corner of Seventh
and Brannan streets, second alarm was
turned in shortly after Chief Sullivan
came on the scene.
The hoorman of engine 30, located at
Eleventh and Bryant streets, saw the
blaze before the alarm sounded, and that
engine was playing stream on the blaz-
ing pile when the remainder of the de-
partment appeared.
The battery" into which five ordi-
nary streams were concentrated, poured a
food into the seething mass from Brannan
street, while the single streams were sta
toned on the other three sides.
There was danger at first that Vermeips
place would succumb, but by energetic
fined to the Smith Bros. property and a
barn belon ing to Vermeil & Co. From
the latter, however, all the horses and
harnesses were removed to place Of
safety.
The total loss is estimated at about
$4,000, which is fully covered by insurance.
The cause Of the fire is not known.
Owing to the peculiar character Of the
fire a number of streams were kept play
ing on the EN- bers all night. At midnight
the Chief ordered the battery to move for
ward to closer range. The engines were
shut off temporarily while this change Of
position was made.
