HELLO SPRING OPENING.
The Thirty.Seventh Exhibition
of the San Francisco Art
Association.
An Excellent C'ncert Given at the
Mark Hopkins Institute of Art
Last N ght.

The annual spring exhibition of the San
Francisco Art Association took place last
evening at the Mark Hopkins Institute of
Art The attendance was not particularly
large, in fact it was just comfortable, and
the pictures and music were far more en-
ioyabIe than ii there had been huge
crowd to iostle and otherwise weary the
critics.
The music, under the direction OF
Henry Heyman, was of unusual excel
lence. The organ prelude, "Preciosa," by
Won Weber, was very well done by
Emilio Crueils. The be st thing on the pro-
me, however, was trio, Miss Ma bel
Johnson, Miss Annette Johnson and Pro-
lessor LON bardero, on mandolins and
bandurrias. Their first mum Der was the
overture NV lillian Tell" by Rossini, and
in reply to re pea.ed demands they gave
Sancho's "Sueno Tropical" For their
last number they gave trio OF Professor
LON bardero's own COMPOSITIONS. the
Raymond Waltz" "Melancholia" and
the f'Grand Spanish Carnival March,"
R. Fletcher Tilton. sang "The Holy City,
bv Adams. and "Calm as the Night, BY
BONN, Miss Eva Shorey sang "My
Mother Bids Me Bind My Hair. by Hay
den. and Vanninis "Mein Giebchen."
For an encore she gave Confession" by
Kathern Rod gers. Later on in the even
IN . she sang Tosti's donna Vorrei Morir, -
and WITHOUT Thee" by d'Hardelot. An
organ March Religieuse" by Meyerbeer,
played by Mr.. Creulls com pleted most
excellent pro .ramme.
The next concert will take place on
Thursday evening. May 10.

Court had upheld him by declaring Shee-
hans appointment null and void.
The attempt of Hebbard and his politi-
cal "heelers" TO break into the meeting OF
bank depositors he'd at the Bush-stseet
Theater was again referred to.
Arthur II. Williams, who acted as as
sistant doorkeeper at the meeting, was
the first witness. Judge Hebbard, as far
as could he learned, had no right in the
theater, as admission was limited to &C
tual depositors III the bank. But such q
tritlng scrupe this was easily over
come. AS soon as Hebbard put in an APP
pearance he invoked the aid of Police
Sergeant Cook, who was present to pre-
serve order, and that official cleared the
way for him into the hail, despite the pro-
tests and circumstances of the doorkeep-
ers. Some OF Hebbard's friends also
gained admlttance at the same time, I'M
der the patronizing wing of the police
officer, and when Attorney Shortridge
asked the witness for their names there
was the usual protest from Attorney
Kahn.
I'VE simply wish to show" said Attor-
ney Shortrldge, repeating the question,
that there was a concerted movement of
rockrollers and political buns 10 break up
that meeting in the interests OF Judge
Hebbard"
Mr.. Williams could not recall the iden-
THY OF the Others who forced their way
into the hall IN company with Hebbard.
John F. Sheehan and Sam K. Thornton
put in an appearance few minutes later
but were refused a0mittance. The same
tate befe!i Harry Clarke, an instructor in
swim ming at the Olympic Club. Williams
did not know Harrison Jones' He bbard s
stenographer, and his court clerk. Robert
ID. Fitzgerald. He knew that Milk In
spector Dockery was in the hall shouting
for Hebbard, but could not recall that he
went through the front door.
ATTORNEY Shortridge asked whether Will
liams knew that Dockery and Fitzgerald
pioied a mob of Hebbard's sympathlzers
through a rear entrance into the meeting,
but this was beyond his knowledge.
| On cross examination Williams told
Assistant District Attorney Hinkle that
He bbard had showed no bank book when
he forced his way into the theater.
Didn't you put your hands on Judge
Hebbard's shoulders and didn't he say.
Take your hands off. l have bank book
in nv pocket?"
He did not" was the reply, and Hin
kl dropped the inquiry.
Edwin +. KendaIi, one of the members
OF the depositors' committee, after an
swering few preliminary questions, was
excused, the State and Hebbard admitting
that he would corroborate the testimony
OF the other committeeman relative to
Sheehan'S acts as receiver
James W. Coffroth, the secretary of the
Superior Court Judges, was present at the
Bush-street Theater meeting by virtue OF
his being depositor in the bank. Attor
ney Shortridge was curious to know the
amount of his deposit and the date of his
bank book, but the He bbard faction seemed
to dread this piece of information and
protested to the court success sfuly.
Robert H. Fitzgerald, Judge Hebbard S

one might be justified in saying that
Judge Hebbard was morally responsible
for losses resulting to the stockholders
through the actions of his servant or Off
Ger. I maintain that Judge is morally
responsible who. when warned. shuts his
eyes and permits an illegal thing to be
done"
Judge Daingerfeld minated that Judge
He bbard's attention may not have been
called to any individual illegal sums
drawn by the receiver.
Attorney Shortridge, in reply, again
recalled that ATTORNEY BARNETT had pro-
tested against Sheehan's account at the
time Hebbard discharged him. 1t was for
the jury, then, to decide if Editor Marriott
was justified under the circumstances in
declaring that Hebbard was morally re-
sponsible for the losses 10 the depositors
through Sbeehan's mismanagement.
Hebbard's attorney fought vigorously
against the production OF the bank records,
and in the end the court decided not to al
low them until Attorney Shortrldge pro.
duced further proof that Hebbard was
aware that Sheehan had been drawing and
paving money Illegally.
The case will go on Monday next.

Pine Cone Fires.

Few jewellers in the city, even il they
enjoy the soul satisfying luxury of an
open fire, know how to make it yield
them all of the aesthetic pleasure which
it is capable of yielding to those who
have found which of the woodland
treasures make richest fuel for the flames
and the prettiest pictures i'll the Goals.
The pine cones that fall from the trees
in autumn and are now strewing the
ground make very beautiful fire when
laid upon the burning logs of the fire
place or on the anthracite in the CRATE.
They fare up with a bright, steady
fame until burned to glowing red
cinder, each cone preserving its shape
and outline and remaining IA thing of
beauty till it finally falls INTO kaleido-
scopic fragments.
Small branches or twigs of lichen
covered oak or hickory also make de-
lightfuI top fael for tae open fire, the

Decidedly queer, even for Massachu-
setts and even in comparison with the
recent Little Fool" episode, is griev-
ance that is stirring the town of Everett
from circumference to center. Not long
ago the local superintendent of public
schools determined to secure certain in
teresting and possibly valuable statistics
i'll regard to the home life of his pupils.
So he had a long series of questions
printed on blank forms and asked each
child to fill out one of them. The in
formation sought is certainly of a some
what intimate nature, for, besides que
ries as to the number Of members in each
family, there were others as to whether
the father worked, and, if not, why
not; whether the mother earned any
money, whether servant was en-
ployed, whether there were any books
in the house and whether books were
taken from the public library.
1t is easy to imagine the commotion
these questions made among the resi-
dents of Everett and not hard to under
stand that they ordered their children
not to answer even the most innocent Of
them. The superintendent defends his
curiosity on the ground that the knowl-
edge thus acquired would enable him to
tell when excuses for absence were le-
gitimate and when to call in the aid of
the truant officer. There is something
in this, but if the people of Everett sub
NIT to any such impertinent inquisition
the blood of their Puritan ancestors
must have grown thin and cold indeed.

TRIED TO BUY A CHILD.
Romantic Story of a Boy Brought Up by
Indiana.

Indians.
In 1856 Vancouver, Wash, then a
spursely inhabited sett Element, was q IA
vorite place of recreation for the Hudson
Bay company's men. Among the fami-
lies then dwelling there was that of
Philip Heidenfeidt, who had beauti-
fLl, fiaxen haired boy named Willie, at
that time 4years old.
Willie was adored by Hudson Bay
company Scotchman known as Long
John McGregor. Long John was we'll
fixed in money matters, having saved
about $50, 600 during his long service
with the company. All this he promised
to bequeath to Willie if his parents
would allow him to adopt the child.
The Heidenfeldts were poor, but not so
needy as to be forced to part with their
child. They refused s., 900 in gold coin
from McGregor for the privilege of
making Willie his heir and taking him
with him
In April of that year Long John re-
turned to the frozen arctic, where his
business was with the Indians of interior
Alaska. With McGregor's departure the
child disappeared. That the Scotchman
had stolen the child was not doubted by
any one knowing his attachment for the
boy, but no trace of man and boy could
be had.
Long John, it is scarcely necessary to
say, never revisited Vancouver and some
time in the sixties was frozen to death
while returning to Sitka from business
trip to the interior in an open sled. Nc
Gregor made will, and when death
claimed him every dollar of his wealth
went to distant relatives in Scotland.
The greater part Of McGregor's time
in Alaska being spent among the IN
Clans, he PLACED tIe stolen boy in Gus

the same Indians today. He 3uent,y
visits Sitka, bearing an IndieA name,
and speaks English with the broken &C.
cent characteristic of an Indian.
Heidenfcldt's people have heard moth
ing Of him for more than 80 years and
naturally believe him dead. The writer
of the letter was i'll Vancouver when the
boy was stolen and knew him WELL The
boy was peculiarly marked at his BIRTH
He had but one joint on each Of his lit
tie fingers, and one of his eyes was black
and the other dark brown
This optical defect in Heidenfeldt,
when the writer saw him in Sitka last
month, recalled the abduction of 40
years ago Engaging him in converse
ton, he noticed also the other physical
defects marking the child. Heidenfeldt
said that he remembered being taken
from his home by a rough looking man
and placed aboard ship. Beyond that
his childhood recollections are quite
vague. There can be no possible doubt
of this man being William Heidenfeldt.
His aged father and several brothers /
and sisters, now residing in Denver,
