and rope and old shoes and stockingless,
and who used to be one of the best dressed
and handsomest women in the county
but that was years ago.
Mrs. krieger is the wife of prosperous,
hard working rancher. His farm consists
of about 200 acres, and the horses are
strong and the cows are sleek. The ranch
houses are oil typical of a successful
farmer and the farming implements are
modern and in good order. Krieger is a
very pleasant old man, and everything
indicates happiness and contentment till
Mrs. krieger appears.
The lady does not seem to have any
right to be on the place. She is very
shrewd and economical and works as hard
as her husband, but she is no longer q
belle.
Many years ago Mrs. Krieger was fond
OF dress, and when told by her husband
that such tastes were not proper, she at
once went to the other extreme, and has
not again changed her mind. Although
her check for $4,000 would be honored,
her entire costume would not be worth 10
cents. She is now sixty years OF age, and
believes she is too poor to buy anything
except the plainest of food. In the house
are some beautiful silk dresses, remnants
of form fashionable wardrobes, but only
one day in the year does Mrs. Krieger ever
indulge in the vanity of wearing one.
Only once in each year does Mrs.
Krieger leave the ranch, and that Is the
occasion OF her annual business trip TO San
Francisco. At this time she puts on her
silk dress and fine shoes. AS soon as she
reaches Pinole station on the return trip
she takes off her shoes and lifts her silk
dress over her shoulders and plods home
for two miles barefooted.
Recently she went to a neighbor to bor-
row some spoons for tho use of the help.
Her outfit consisted OF two old sacks, and
when working around the farm one of
these is often discarded. She frequently
goes to the beach to dig CLAIMS. and nobody
ever wades out further than she. Her
neig gh bors call ner the "Old Indian" but
she is a German and is very intelligent
but for the peculiar notion that she has no
money to spend for dress.
For thirty years the Kriegers have lived
on their ranch, and their only daughter is
married to San Francisco druggist.

Carmen, Saturday afternoon, was not

played, as it was first produced, as opera
comique, but, Trough aided by spoken
dialogue, Nine. Savine was neither able
10 sing nor act the title role, and the only
redeeming features were the acting and
singing OF Albers as Escamillo the Mich
aela of Nine. Berthet and the acting OF
Dec as Don Jose.

prices last night ss a supplementary per-

CAME TO SAY FAREWELL,
Mile. Aimee Pascal Sings Only
Once at the California
Theater.
End of the Season With Ovations for
the Artists-Last Nights
Farewell.

The handsome Aimee Pascal who has
been held in reserve during the whole opera
season, was allowed Saturday night at
the final performance of the regular
season. to make her first and, for the pres
ent at least, her last bow to San Frau
cisco audience.
1t was very little chance that the
beauty of the troupe was given. She
played Seiika in the second act OF L'Afri-
caine,' role in which the now pop ular
Mime. Foedor won absolutely no applause
on the opening night of the season. The
beauty had to disguise her good looks be-
meath the dusky skin and hldeous cos
tune of the African, but even hampered
thus people compared her to Maxi ne
Elliott on account of her fine, command
ing figure, her handsome profile and fash
ing eyes and teeth.
Selika's music in the second act OF
IL Africaine" is of a weird and barbaric
description which appeals little to the
popular ear, though it has charms of its
own. Hampered both by makeup and
score, Pascal succeeded in making a very
favorable impression. She has a full.
round, dramatic soprano voice of even
quality. A slight tendency to faulty in
tonatlon was probably the result of ner-
vousness.
At the conclusion of the second act OF

TO HELP POOR STUDENTS.
Professor Rising's Plan to Help Thos
in Need.

in Need.
BERKELEY, CAL. April 11.-Professor
Willard B. Rising, president of the
Students Aid Society, wants to see q
dormitory system established at the Stale
University for the benefit of the needy
collegians who are now cooking their own
meals and making their own beds.
He has called meeting of the society
for tomorrow evening, at which he will
present plan for long building, to be
converted into boarding house or com :
mons for the seventy young men who are
now doing their own housework.
He believes that ii they all clubbed to-
gether and employed two or three cooks
they could live almost as cheaply as at
present and would not have to suffer the
hardship of existing on two unwhoIesome
meals day, as many of them at present
are doing.
There is some talk of securing several OF
the university cottages which were pri-
marily intended for student use, but
which have of late years been rented to
members of the university corps and
others.
According to the statistical report re-
Gently issued by the Aid Society large
mum Der of young men are living on from
So to $12 month. The sixty eight schol-
arships which have recently been en-
dowed wilt yield SIPS year each, or $12 sc
a month for the college year. 1t is be-
lieved that this amount, added to the
present income of the self : sustaining
students, will do much toward alleviating :
their straitened circumstances.

AL BAKER Is DEAD.
He Was a Familiar Figure of the City's
Early Days

Early Days
After an illness of three months, during
which time he was confined to st. Luke's
Hospital, Alfred W. Baker died there yes
terday morning.
The deceased was a pioneer of the City,
and came here from Illinois about 1851.
He was a son of Colonel E. D. Baker, who
was killed in the Civil War.
He was widely known here in early
days, and made hosts OF friends by his
genial manners and jovial WAYS. He was
a fast friend OF Thomas Mcguire, the the
atrical man, and the two were frequently
seen together.
Al Baker, as he was familiarIy known,
was an eccentric bachelor. He was a
little over 90 years of age when no died,
but his friends say that up to his break
down last fall he was so energetic and so
full of life and gayety they considered
him as young as most men of So.
He was for thirty years a clerk in the
United States Custom house.
Persistent dyspepsia caused the first
breakdown of his health and spirits, and
he gradually became unwilling to take
sufficient nourishment to sustain his
strength.
His sister. Mrs. Caroline Baker Stephens
OF Seattle, has been telegraphed for, and
no funeral arrangements will be made till
her arrival.
He has one other sister, Mrs Lucy Hop
kins, who is supposed 10 be in Seattle.
He left an estate in cash, and his affairs
are in charge of his friend T. w. Scott of
the Custom house
