OF the lesser theaters the Orpheum ano
Grand were the only ones to change their bills
with the new week More than hall OF the
Orpheum programme is new, and more than
half OF that half is conspicuously successful,
while the rest is sufficiently good 10 uphold

most nota BILE of the novelties are the four ltal-
ian,singerS who comprise the VeSuylano QUAR-
teL They sing with a marked degree OF fervor
and nan1mlty, exaggeraung the tempt ana
dynamic gradat1onS in much the manner OF
the Spanish Students; their music is new 10
San Fran cisco, and. with the exception OF the
rather smail-toned countertenor, their voices
are warm and copious. They sing with con-
siderable tremolo, but that feature OF their

the singers, and it is only q questions OF days
when the gallery will fiud there is more profit
in listening to than guying the Vesuv1ano
Quartet.
Sato, the juggler-comedia has been at the
Orpheum before, but his act is cleYeTly out OF

AnimatOscope Privilege Sus-
tanned.

Supervisor Smith introduced another
ordinance directed against merchandise
Gift enterprises yesterday. 1t is intended
TO apply chiefly to the operations of an
Eastern syndicate that has formed pool
among a number of local houses. The
scheme is to give coupons on the purchase
of a certain quantity OF goods, the coupons
emitting the holder to a certain amount
of goods from another house. The syndl-
cate receives a commission on the opera
tions of the pool. The order was referred
to the Judiciary Committee.
Supervisor Dodge introduced resolu-
ton that was re eferred to the Street Com
mittee requiring the Market-street Rail
road Company to pave Oak street on each
side of its double track and to remove the
abandoned cable slot.
Supervisor Britt on a question OF per-
sonal privilege, denied the responsibility
OF the proposed plumbing ordinance.
Mayor Phelan's veto of the privilege
granted the California Animatoscope Com
pany to run a public exhibition at 1853

Dupont-Street restaurant last InurSuay
evening.
These placards are very bitter and even
scurrilous in expressions. They are
couched in such language that would
make the writers amenable to the law
could they be located. at the consulate
the matter was laughed at, and the vice.
Consul said that the circulars were the
work OF the highbinder societies, who ma
their occupation gone by the action OF the
legation in stopping the boycott.
According to the Vice-Consul the nigh
Dlnders are trying to have revenge ana
have taken up very trivial matter In
order 10 make capital. The mem bers OF
the legation were invited to banquet
given by the presidents OF several wealthy
merchants societies, and at this banquet
they were entertained by singing girls, as
Is the usual custom at these dinners. This
was taken as the head and front OF the
Offending, and the circulars dwelt upon
the TACT that uchthings were contrary TO
Chinese etiquette, especially among the
offic ais of the kingdom.
The Vice e-Consul stated yesterday even
ing that the presence of singln g-glrls at
banquets was a custom that was to be
found in all circles of the Chinese people,
and while the mem bers OF the legation
would not give banquet In pubic res
taurant and have the girls present, there
was no reason why they should not &C
cept an invitation 10 a banquet given by
others, who were at liberty to entertain
the guests in any way that seemed lit to
the hosts.

Lincoln Ii. Lewars, manager of the COM
pany, attributes Bergmann's downfall to
wine, women and horses, apd what reused
his suspicion that Bergman was living
beyond his means WAS personally seeing
him lavishly spending money.
"At the request of the president of the
company" said Manager Lewars yester-
day, 81 gave Bergman desk in the Of
fee, although his services were not
needed. he got $40 week and "a he is
an expert bookkeeper, when he asked for
an increase it was given him and he got
$15 week. Developments have proved
to Inc that his asking for the increase was
simply a blind, as he was recklessl y
spending the company's money,
Last Friday night l was in a restau-
rant and saw Bergman spend between
So and 81 for supper. l knew he could
not afford 1t out of his salary and il set
me thinking.
Saturday night / remained in the Of
flee for three or four hours working on his
books, thinking he had been fRlsifying
the balances, but l found them correct.
81 was puzzled. and then L took a
scnoolb boys method and began to add the
totals at the bottom of each page of his
cashbook, and the whole thing was eX-
planned to me. The totals were in exc ess
in amounts ranging from so cents to
$500. he admitted being short, when
taxed with it this morning. and as he re-
fused to make the amount good he was
ARE ted.
The tota amount of his EN- bezzl emeni
will reach $4,000, if not more. He has been
assuciating with woman on Eddy street,
and his wife is EN- bittered against him."
Bergmann is 35 years of age. and came
here from Portland, Or, where he was
employed in the Tax Collectors office
and, it is alleged, was dismissed for dis.
honesty.

SHOW THEIR TEETH.
High binders Send Thre ateuing and
Abusive Letters and Circulars to
the Chinese Legation.

All is not well in Chinatown; at least
that is what the hghbinders think. The
work of the new Vice-Consul, who recent
ly arrived here from Washington, in Dring-
ing about truce between the rival associ-
atoms has not pleased those who are pro-
fitting by the boycott between the See
Yups and the Sam Yups.
Ever since the truce has been estab-
lished letters have been received daily at
the Consulate, some threatening. some
denouncing and some ridiculing the men,
bers OF the legation for their work in the
direction of peace. These letters have
been invariably anonymous, consequent
ly no attention has been paid to them.
Finding that their letters have had no
effect the men who are against the good
work have gone step further, and yes
terday morning The walls of Chinatown
were placarded with a scurrilous circular
denouncing the members of the legation
and the presidents of the companies who
participated in banquet hold in

Morosco's Oh ra-House.

The "irst-nighters' turned out in full force
at NJ orosco's Grand Opera-house. 1t was the
initial production of William Haworth's melo-
drama, "On the Mississippi" There was the
regular story OF the deep plotting OF villain
and the final triumph OF right over wrong,
with good display OF deadly weapons to
bring it about. There was a great deal of ap-
plause from the packed galleries when the
smooth villain was killed, and another great
outburst when the wronged heroine fell into
the arms of her lover, with her troubles and
prosecutions at an end. The leaoIng parts OF
the play were taken by W. H. Pascoe, Morti-
mer Snow, F. J. Butler, Landers Stevens, G..
Nicnolls, Bert Morrison, Maud Edua Hall,
Lorena Atwood, Julia Blanc and Mamie

Thousand Dollars, Spent on Wine,
