FLEECED TEACHERS HERE.

Among Poor Women in Sacramento.

Mrs. f. p. Burrell of Oakland Working
Among Poor Women in Sacramento.
Dispatches from Sacramento announce
that Mrs E. P. Burrell of Oakland is in
ducing the working women of that city to
buy stock in marvellous mine in Mexico.
She has man known as Professor George
W. Martin as an assistant, and together
they have been telling fabulous tales of
the richness of the mine, which needs only
$4,000 to open properly and will pay
enormous dividends in few months.
Mrs. Burrell worked the same scheme
on the schoolteachers OF this City three
years ago, though her mine then was not
in Mexico. She aroused considerable ex-
element, and several hundred teachers
bought her stocks. Some of them were
induced to invest large sums. Mrs. Aurelia
Griffith of the Golden Gate Primary School
is said to have been taken in to the amount
of quite 5000.
The newspapers, at the time, gave con-
siderable space to Mrs. Burrell and her
scheme. AS a result, the teachers were
saved further payments. None of them
have sought recourse in the courts as yet.

the Frawley Company at the Colum bia
Theater last night. A large audience
listened to the performance with marked
interest, though the applause was never
positively enthusiastic.
The Frawley Company was augmented
by George Osbourne, who, with Macklyn
Arbuckle, pretty well shared the honors
as far as the male roles were concerned.
The all-round cast. however, found thor
oughly satisfactory opponents In the mem
bers of the company. George Osbourne
was suited with role particularly to his
taste in the part VI Israel Cohen president
of the Jeffersonian National Bank Mac
lyn Arbuckle played the part of William
Prescott, the defaulting cashier of the
same bank, both men being in love with
Agnes Rodman. who had given her affec-
tons to the baser man of the two.
George Osbourne PLAYED the part OF the
rejected lover with SO much dignity and
in such a sympathetic manner that he
captured the good will of the audience if
he did not succeed in moving Agnes. Ar
buckle had an exacting role as the erring
cashier who kept his misdeeds to himself
long enough to appear a traitor to his
friend, Edward Seabury, but Arbuckle
made good deal out of his lines, and
never sank to being real stage villain.
frawlev was pleasant, manly Seabury,
the assistant cashier, who is unjustly &C
cused of his chiefs wrongdoing.
Colonel Kip. the ex-member of Congress
who tries through two acts to propose to
the fascinating Mrs. Delafield, was hu-
morously portrayed by S. d. Blachfield.
Miss Blanche Bates was in her element as
the dashing widow, and Miss Jennie Ken
mark acted naturally and looked pretty as
Agnes Rodman. All the other roles were
in good hands.
Men and Women" is elaborateIy
staged, the bric-a-brac being particularly
extensive and artistic. The stained-glass
window which plays SO conspicuous part
in the library scene of the third act, has a
striking resem blarce to an up-to-date
hlgh-art poster.

MRS. SHATTUCK'S TRIAL.
Evidence of Her Daughter Truly, as
Given at the First Trial,
Ordered Read.

The trial of Jane Shattuck, for the muir
der of Harry Poole, commenced before
Judge Belcher yesterday.
Truly Shattuck is still among the miss
ing. She is in Montana, and after Assist
ant District Attorney Hosmer had offered
proof that she had gone at least as far as
Portland, he asked to be allowed to read
her testimony taken at the first trial.
Mr.. Cook objected. but the transcript OF
her evidence, as given at the first trial,
was admitted. 1t related particularly to
the writing and sending of the letter which
lured Harry Poole to her mothers house,
where he was killed. 1t showed that the
letter was written, if not at the dIctation,
at least on the suggestion of Mrs. Shattuck,
the defendant.
The case will go on to-day.

WRITES AoOCT NANSEN
An Interesting Story OF the Explorer Comes
From sheffield.

The hansen" is the title OF a very
clever and able article in the Idler. a
standard magazine published in Shelf
field, England The writer's is Mr.. J.
Arthur Balm, brother OF Mr.. John Balm
of 424 West Elm street. this city. The
article is illustrated Handsomely and
treats Of the trip OF DR.. Nansen, the
famous scientist and explorer, to the
north pole. Mr.. Balm not only has an
intimacy with the interesting career of
DR.. hansen but he thoroughly under
stands the scheme OF his trip. It Is a
very interesting story, pleasantly told.
In an article accompanying the maya
zine, from Sheffield paper, Mr.. Balm
gives a delightful description OF re-
cent journey through Russia. He is
certainly very bright writer and Mrs.
Balm. whom a reporter for The Eagle
met IN her parloT yesterday, is very
proud OF her distin guished brother-in-
law. Mrs. Balm is a Scotch lady and,
by the way, very fine at descriptive
work. She has in her home many fine
pictures OF metropolitan and rural
scenes IN and around Aberdeen, her
native home. She has a nice picture OF
the public park on the banks Of the
Dee which shows the solid arched
bridges peculiar to her native country
She has an oil painting of an ancient
and historic bridge with only one arch
which shows a style OF architecture not
even seen now anywhere in that inter-
esting country. It is LOO years old and
IS one OF the relics OF Scotland that the
people are proud OF.

A large crowd attended the ball game
! Yesterday at Riverside between The
/ CoIwich club and the Rattlers Of Wich-
/ tia They witnessed a good game, but
in the eighth inning dark clouds arose
on the heretofore peaceable skies. and
for time it was predicted that blood
would flow freely. At the time of the
dispute the game stood to in favor
OF the Colwich nine. when the scorer
called Anderson to bat. The Rattiers
had two Andersons. and Brent came
to the bat and sent the bail whizzing
through the grass and before il could be
captured two dusky members Of the
Rattlers had touched the home base
and Brent was cutting dirt up the
home track.
At this time the mistake was discover
ed and a dispute arose. G.. ". Robin
son, who was umpiring the game at
this time, decided that the two counts
made by Anderson striking out of his
turn should not be counted. but the Col
wien nine demanded that Anderson
should be counted out This the Rat

refused to play unless the side should
be decided out. The umpire refused 10
grant this, but was only willing to
put the game back 10 the same position
it was in before the mistake had occur
red The umpire gave the Coiwich nine
five minutes to play ball. and when the
time was UP he gave them notification
that unless they were playing ball with
the game according to the national rule.
The war OF words still went on and
at the expiration of the time the umpire
called the game TO n favor OF the
Wichita nine.

and there was no Hicks passed but il was
a severe war OF words In the evening
both sides came 10 the Eagle office 10

above is the sum and substance of both
sides.

they lost the game yesterday IL was
