MET DEATH IN AN
ELEVATOR SHAFT
JanitOr Jens Nielsen's
Frightful Fall of Some
Ninety Feet.
Indulging in P.easantries q
Few Moments Before the
Acc dent.
Crushed and Bleeding the Sufferer
Was Still Able TO Speak When
Picked Up.

Jens Nielsen, head ianitor in the Pacific
Mutual building at Sacramento and Mont
gomery streets. met with his death yes
terday morning by falling four stories
down the elevator shaft.
Nielsen, who was man about 80 years OF
age, companionable and jolly, was whist
ling and bandying words with the head
janitress. Mrs. Snow, as he opened the
elevator door and began cleaning it.
Mrs. Snow turned from her duties to
address Nielsen, and she observed that
while he was not there his bucket stood
by the opened door,
Believing that the janitor had stepped
downstairs Mrs. Snow continued her
labors, and not until ten minutes later
did she have occasion to Hook down the
elevator shaft, at the bottom of which lay
the bruised body of Nielsen.
At no time had he become uncon scious,
but he was bleeding from his mouth, nose
and ears.
II don't know how I fell" Nielsen said
feeoly when J. McDermott. the elevator
operator, reached him, attracted by the
cries of Mrs. Snow.
The unfortunate man was conveyed to
the Receiving Hospital, where he died
almost Immediately after beng placed on
the operating table. Nielsen was Swede,
30 years old and unmarried. He was six
feet tall and weighed over 200 pounds. He
has no relatives in this country.

THE EX-CHIEF SURPRISED
Handsome Testimonial Presented
to M. Crowley by the
Police Department.
The Work of the Grand OLD Nam
Eulog zsd by Commissioner AL.
vJrl and Chief Lees.

The day after Chief OF Police Crowley S
retirement a movement was started to pre-
sent him with a suitable testimonial from
the mem bers OF the department as mark
of the love and affection in which he was
and is held.
The testimonial took the shape of a
magnificent gold watch and chain with
diamond locket and a beautiful diamond
ring. The watch bears the following in-
scription: Presented by the Police De-
partment OF San Francisco to Patrick
Crowley, Chief of Police, on his retire
ment from office April z, 1897.
The presentation took place last night
in the Board Of Police Com missioners'
rooms. Those present we're: Commits
sloner Aivord, Chief Lees, Captains
Bohen, kitiman. Spillane, Gillen, Dun
levy and Robinson; Clerk Healey, Prop
eIty Clerk Moran, Lieutenants Brdsali,
Hanna, Bennett and ESola and SerGean.s
Motiltt and GleesoE. Ex-Judge Murphy
was also present.
Commissioner Alvord in making the
presentation said: "The mem bers OF the
force look up to you as boys to father,
and they have decided to present these
articles TO you as token of esteem and
affection and their best thanks. l can say
The San Francisco call., 1897-06-03

for myself that for the eighteen or twenty
years / have known you you have been
my personal friend and l have always
found you jealous in your duty"
The revered ex- -Chiet was deeply moved
as be rose to reply amid the applause OF
those present. He thanked the donors
for their beautiful gift, and accepted it in
the same spirit of friendship it had been
given. He would prize it, not for its in-
trinsic value, but for the love and affec-
ton IL showed from the men with whom
he had been associated for many years.
He had always ielt that the public peace
was in good hands and that he had body
of men at his back who would go even
into the jaws of death with him. That
was one of the many reasons why he loved
them. 1t had been his experience with a
hody of men to be not only strict, but lust.
He had severed his connection with them
as their leader but their relations would
not cease, as he would slwaCs feel he was
one of them and he would always have
fond recolleCtions of them. His remarks
were greeted with applause.
Chief Lees made few brief remarks
speaking of the high esteem entertained
for his predecessor as man and public
officer and of the love and affection held
for him by all mem bers OF the department,
who hoped he would live to a ripe old age.

such a trouble it is a charity to afford il
the opportunity of expressing its wishes.
Ii no one is within reach who is able to
communicate directly. then as a last re-
source automatic writing or some other
form of mediumship may be utilized. But
when the disturbing question is settled
further communication of the kind should
be shut off
Let me add finally that, while depre-
eating the development of mediums ship
Tor the above reasons-which would bear
much elaboration-all theosophists glad V
pay tribute to the spirituelsts for the
services they have rendered in the COM
bat against materialism. They faced ridi-
cule and persecution with fortitude and
patience, defending what they knew to be
facts despite storms of opposition of the
most Virulent and often cruel kind, and
the honor is due TO them NJ which should be
yielded to all who dare to sJand by an un-
popular truth and breast the torrent OF
ignorance at its fullest tide.

While Mrs. Annie Besant was in this
City some of her friends asked her to

with their request sne wrote the follow
ing:
Theosophists are continually asked
"What is the relation between theosophv

pends much on the knowledge of the the

norant spiritualists are apt TO wage war

Rinship between their beliefs and utter
the same warnings against indiscrimlnate
communications with the Invisible worlds s.
AS the above question has been addressed
to me in the form, What is your opinion
OF spIritualism?' p [ frankly state my own
view.
l consider that the occurrence of what
are called "spiritualistic phenomena" is
established beyond dispute in the eyes of
in vestigators. The bringing into closed
rooms OF physical objects, the moving of
objects without physical contact, Ievita-
tlon, naturalization, the holding OF red
hot Goals IN the bare hand the speaking
OF intelligent entities through the mouth
OF a meolum, automatic writing, writing
within locked slates-these things and
many others are facts accepted eiike by
intelligent theosoPhists and spirituallsts.

pected, the clever new company is draw

by Francis Powers Chinese drama, "The

CURED space OF time Grattan Donnelly's
play is shorn of the last act, but this is nc
great loss, as the last act of "The Ameri-
can Girl" reeKs with snobbishness, where
as IN the revised version, used at the AL
cazar, the universal Joy at finding that
the heroine has become a real live coun
tess is expressed in few sentences instead
OF being spread out over an entire act.
The great hit of the performance Is made
by little Nenie, whose impersonation o. a
