A SAVING or THOUSANDS,
Examiners Planning for Cutting Down O,
the Expense of State
AsyiUms.

SACRAMENTO, CAL. Jan. 20 The del
egates from the boards of directors of the
State asylums held joint meeting with
the Board of Examiners this morning for
the purpose of deciding upon route OF
inspection of the State institutions. which
will take place next month, and other
matters of vital interest.
1t was conceded a good plan to advertise
for the staple products needed in all asy-
lums north of Teha ehapi at one time, buy
in lump and distribute pro rata. 1t was
also agreed to formulate q uniform system
of bookkeeping and salaries of employees.
The Governor pointed out the fact that
employees of asylums drew more pay than
the average schcolma'am, who had to
spend years of preparation in ardent study.
1t was agreed to weed out over 800 inmates
who did not belong IN the asylums. and to
make those who were able financially nav
for their relatives care.
Secretary of State Brown said that he
knew of one instance where a man worth
fully $50, 900 had his wife in the ASYLUM
free of charge. Mr.. Gardner thought that
counties should pay at least 80 per cent of
the expense of keeping their patients. but
no decisive action was taken ON this sug-
gestion.
The San Bernardino asylum got another
general overhauling on account of ex pen
ses, and the officials of that institution
may expect to be handled without gloves
when the investigating committee reaches
them IN the general tour.

weeks past Resp Rysky spgagsa in torm1-

the Alhambra. 1t was the social event OF
the season for this locality. A great many
theater parties had been arranged among
the elite families of this district, Menlo
Park, Palo Alto, Woodside, San Carlos,
Belmont and San Mateo. There was also
quite delegation from San francisco OF
wealthy folks who own houses in San Ma
teo County, but who are spending the Win
ter in the City. The result was an audi
ence of representative people that filled
the theater to overfiowing.
The theater was ablaze with electric
lights that showed everything off to adj
vantage. The Columbia Tneater Orches-
ira from San Francisco furnished excel
lent music, and the programme passed off
with dash and spirit. There was a neat
dedication address by Judge Buck, a happy
response by Charles Josselyn Esq, the
owner of the Alhambra property. and a
first-class performance by the Frawley
Company, with twenty people in the cast.
After the performance the hall was
cleared for dancing, and a ball was in
progress until a late hour.
The beautiful Alhambra was constructed
by Charles Josselyn of San Francisco,
whose country home is at Brookside, near
Redwood City. He gave the well-known
architect a. Page Brown, instructions to
prepare plans for a beautiful thcater and
one possessing all the facilities for render
ing tirst-class plays and producing high
class opera The architects design was
tasteful blending of the Moorish and Mis-
sion types of architecture. The cost of the
structure has far exceeded the original
estimate presented to Mr.. Josselyn, but
having embarked in the enterprise he de-
cded to carry it through, even if the
changes proposed required larger outlay
than he anticipated.
Aside from the construction of the thea
ter proper no expense was spared in pro-
viding Illuminating effects and so cleo
tricity was introduced to light the stage,
the auditorium and the stage dressing
rooms, the wings and the orchestra space,
according to the most approved modern
methods.
In the equipment of scenery the highest
artistic talent was invoked, and few thea
ters in the country surpass the Alham bra
in this respect. The drop-curtain, painted
by John Stanton, is a dream OF beauty
and while it was on exhibition in this City
elected the highest compliments from
scene showing the city in the distance
with gondolas as the central figures
The Alhambra has a capacity for COM
fortably seating 1000 people, and in a
crush 100 spectators may find room.
The proceeds of the initial or dedicatorv
performance, after paying the expenses Of
the Columbia Company, are given by MIR.
Josselyn to the fund which is being raised
in Redwood City to purchase clock for
the tower on the High School. The per
centage of the receipts to which Mr.. jesse
lyn is entitled will, when added to the
amount now in the clock fund, provide
sufficient money to buy beautiful time
piece.
Redwood City is justly proud of the
Alham bra and the pride extends through.
out San Mateo County. Leading man
ayers of dramatic and opera companies
are also gratitied, as their circuits demand
good theaters outside of San Francisco.

SPORT At BAKERSFIELD.
Pacific Coast Field Trials Open
With a Derby in the
Mud.
Dogs Work Well Despite the Rain and
the Heavy Nature of the
Cover.

BAKERSFIELD, CAL, Jan. 20.-This
was the first day of the Pacific Coast field
trials. The tendance was not so large as
1t would have been had the weather been
less threatening. 1t rained more or less
on Saturday, Sunday, last night and to-
day, which made the roads and fields
muddy and kept all except enthusiasts at
home. Many strangers, however, came on
last nights train and went out to the
Stockdale ranch, where the trials took
place.
1t was decided to have the Derby first,
the entries being: A. B. Truman's Irish
setter Young Dick with E. F. Northams
black pointer Black Beauty; John Schu-
macher's English setter Rowena with ].
W. Keene's English setter San Carlos; R.
K. Gamers English setter Peach blossom
with George Crocker's pointer Jilt and
Joseph Savers English setter Lady SIAM
boul: Owing to the absence of William
Kittle, G. n. Post of Sacramento was given
his place as Judge, the other two being D.
M. Pyle of this place and Andrew Jackson
of Napa.
The first race commenced at 1918
o'clock and closed at 1850, the contestants
being the first two entries. Under the
system of judging adopted by the club it

clusion of the entire match, conseuuently.
as the Derby was not finished to-day, it is
impossible to give the winners names.
The second brace of dogs was put down
at IL 10 o'clock ana taken up at 11:25.
when there was q stop for lunch The
sport was resumed at 10 and this race
closed at AS.
The third brace of dogs was put down
at 1885 and taken up at 3 :03. The scene
was shifted a mile or two, and they were
put down at 4:40, when a heavy rainfall
put an end to the days sport.
Considering the weather the sport was
excellent. Some difficulty, however, was
experienced on account of the heavy
nature of the cover, and 1t is probable the
scene OF operations so-morrow will be
shifted to the McClung ranch. farther
from town, where the cover is more open.
II the weather is fair, tomorrow will close
the Derby, and on Wednesday the all
age stake will come up. This will likely
last into Thursday and possibly even
later.

Charged With Having Hired
Young Langevin to Evade
a Subpoena.
BETRAYED BY A Go-BETwEEN.
The Man Who Handled the Money
TeStifeS to Keep Himself Out
of Prison.

CARSON, New, Jan. 20.-It was gener-
ally understood in Carson Saturday after
noon that the Government was In a posi-
tion to strike another blow in the mint
cases in the arrest of Trenmor Coffin, one
of Heney's attorneys IN the recent trial for
the theft of bullion, on the charge of fur
nishing money to induce the young wit
ness, Langevin, to leave the country 1t
is claimed that he paid the money to D.
Gree to give to Langevin. CiIce claims
that when he received the money he did
not know anything OF the nefarious pur-
pose for which it was intended.
When Coffin realized that the deal was
coming his way he FASTENED to the State
prison to have conversation with his late
client, James Heney. The meeting be-
tween Heney and Coffin was very cool, as
Heney claimed that but for Coffin he
would not have been in jail. What passed
between the two is not known. The prob
able cause of Collins visit was to find out
if Heney would testify that he gave Coffin
the money to get the witnesses out of the
way. The assurance he got from Heney
could not have been very positive, as his
air after his return was anything but
assuring.
Charles Jones, the United States Dis
trict Attorney, filed the affidavit pre-
paratory to Coffin's arrest this after
noon charging Coffin with paying 500 to
get a witness out of the country 1t is
sworn to by D. Gree. The affidavit is
quite lengthy. 1t declares that Trenmor
Coffin knew that Joseph Langevin was an
important and material witness on behalf
of the United States in the trial of the
Heney case, and knew Joseph Langevin
was possessed of material facts bearing
upon the guilt of Heney. Knowing the
facts, Trenmor Coffin on November %,
1895, induced Langevin to avoid the SER
vice of subpoena upon him and to conceal
himself from the officers of the United
States. To that end he paid to William
Langevin, the father of Joseph, 500. The
affiant swears upon information and be-
lief that by reason of the premises Tren-
NOR Coffin was guilty of misbehavior so
near to the court as TO obstruct, and that
he was guilty OF contempt, under the pro-
vision of section 725 of the Revised
Stat utes of the United States.
Gree had taken the money to Langevin,
and had he not made this affidavit the
Government would have proceeded against
him. The United States court meets in
the morning, and Judge HawleY will be
called upon to issue citation.
There is great excitement over the mat
ter in Carson, and it is known that the
Government will push the case against
Coffin to the bitter end. The Government
officers say they propose to present his case
to the United States Grand Jury.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Jan. 20-When a

occupied by Miss Julia Weiss, a recent ar
rival, securely locked. She left and went

detected the fumes of chloroform coming
from the room. She notified the proprie-
tor and the door was unlocked.
When the door swung open the sitting
fumes almost asphyxiated the persons
about to enter. On the bed lay Miss Weiss
in death. On a stand close by Law two

and the body removed to undertaking

1t is not known whether Miss Weiss
took the chloroform with suicidal intent
or not. but the supposition is that she did.
There was enough chloroform in the two
walls to kill a halfdozen people. Miss
Weiss was very reticent and kept closely
to her room. She had with her letters of

1t has been rumored for some time that

office, but we have no definite information
about 1t, as Mr.. Bermingham has not made
any positive statement as 20 his intentions,
But anticipating that he may resign when
he reaches Was 4ington, our association of
marine engineers has recommended for
his place John Bulger of San Francisco,
son OF Martin Bulger. Bulger served an
apprenticeship at Cramps Philadelphia

many years chief engineer for the

that we would rather have him than
