IN A HAZE OF SMOKE,
First Concert Given by the San
Francisco Symphony
Society.
Excitement Caus by the Accidental
Burning of Some Paper at the
Columbia Theater.

Despite the weather the first concert
OF the San Francisco Symphony Society
was well attended, and excitement was
not wanting.
During the first number, Zine Faust
Overture" by Wagner, the attention of
the audience was suddenly distracted by
the atmosphere becoming heavy with
smoke, and the beauty of the music was
for moment forgotten. At the close OF
the number the smoke became almost I'M
bearaoie, and as the audience was getting
restless it was explained that some paper
had been thrown on the furnace fire and
the smoke came in through the f1ues. The
musicians played in decided haze the
rest of the afternoon
Dvorak's symphony in D ior followed
and was beautifully interpreted by Mr.. Hin
richs' musicians and was enthusiastically
applauded. Mrs. Katherine Fleming
Hinrichs made her initial bow to the San
Francisco public and sang an air from
Gounod's Queen of Sheba" in such a
manner as TO win for her an encore.
Tschaikowsky' "Marche Slave" finished
the programme.

HOW The DUTCH
TOOK HOLLAND"
DR.. Wendte Told the Story
in a Lecture Last
Night.
The History of a Brave People
Who Initiated Free In
Stitutions.
Declared to Have Ben at One Time
Pre.eminent in AL the Wa ks
of Human Life.

Rev. DR.. c. w. Wendte of Oakland deIiv
cred lecture at Golden Gate Hall last
night entitled How the Dutch Took Hol
land" splendid series of stereopticon
views adding greatly to the inherent in
terest of his subject, which was dealt with
in manner both historically instructive
and entertaining.
DR.. Wendte in his Introductory remarks
related how when happy boy in his ma
tive city of Boston the only grief he
knew was occasioned by his playmates,
who, on the strength of his foreign
patronymic, called him Dutchman.
They were unaware" said DR.. Wendte,
''of any distinction between the two
branches of the great Teutonic family,
but included them all under the generic
and mildly contemptuous term Dutch,
whom our school biographies were want
to describe as brutes wholly given over to
gross and sensual pleasures.
Later in life, the lecturer said, when he
had removed to San Francisco, and in the
Mercantile Library OF this City first pc
rused the glowing pages of John l.. Mot
ley's Dutch Republic" he felt penitent
that even as boy he should have been
ashamed to bear their name.
With this preliminary DR.. Wendte pro-
ceeded to coDdense into an address of
something more than an hour the expert
ences and impressions derived in the
course of ten days tour in the Neither
lands. He described the characteristic
physical aspect of the country, with its
marvellous system of dikes, which has
redeemed it from the inroads of the ocean
and has involved an expenditure of some
thing like 81, 500, COO, 000
He reviewed the history of its most
notable cities and seats OF learning and
the associations which have made them
famous, and described the habits of the
people and the aspects Of social life. In
conclusion he told of the heroic struggle
maintained for centuries against the hos
tile forces of nature and war with the
Spaniards, struggle which eliminated
during the supremacy of William of
Orange and his equally illustrious son
Maurice.
From the Hollanders, the lecturer in
sisted, the Pilgrim Fathers first obtained
their knowledge of free institutions. which
they i'll turn conveyed to this continent,
ported them into their own country.
1t was strange circumstance that a
people so essentially practical as the
Dutch have always been should have pro-
duced one OF the most remarkab BILE schools
of painting the world has ever seen, and
that music, the most ethereal of human
studies, should at one time have in
cluded among its greatest exponents men
OF the same nationality.
Two witty aud significant sayings hit off
very happily the history of the Dutch
people. The one is proverbial and runs !:
God made the sea, but we made the
land" The other emanated from the fer
tile brain of Butler, the author of ''Hudl-
bras, and1s TO the following effect: "A

Superintendent and Archi-
tect on the Same
Footing.
One More Tangle in the Mission
High School Excess
Contracts.
Auditor Brodsrick Thinks He Will
Return the Warrants Without
His Approval.

Auditor Broderick said yesterday that
be had nearly decided to return, without
approval, the warrant for the payment of
Architect Havens of the Mission High
School. He also said that if the archi-
tect's warrant cannot be paid neither
can the recently elected superintendent OF
construction draw salary, for they stand,
legally, on the same footing under the
existing conditions.
That Mr.. Broderick questioned the
legality of Mr.. Havens' claim as the archi-
tect of the Mission High School has been
published in this paper earlier, but it will
come as news to the board that the COM
pensation of the newly elected superin-
tendent of construction may also be dis
puted by the Auditor. For the last few
days the Auditor has busily engaged him
self in the consultation of authorities and
the decisions of courts accumulating the
law books in his private office until a
small sized law library was there.
Yesterday he said that while his mind
was about made up he still wanted TO get
another opinion. There Is no dispute
that the plans have been prepared by Mr..
Havens. The trouble is that the con-
tracts already awarded exceed the esti-
mate ma de by Mr.. Havens in an advisory
capacity for the use OF the board. Mr.
Havens figured the cost of the building at
$l37 600. The contracts already awarded
amount to $l40, 13S, or $313S in excess
Mr.. Havens has figured mis- commission
on the basis of the cost OF $l40, 900 instead
OF $137, 900.
Auditor Broderick thinks that the
board, having accepted $l37,000 as the
architects statement OF the cost, is bound
by that. Moreover, he thinks that the
architect is bound 10 see that the structure
is built for that amount of money. How
the same general proposition has been re-
Gently viewed, in another case, is in
sianced by the Affiliated Colleges. The
contracts for the construction of the
Affiliated Colleges buildings having ex-
ceeded the appropriation. the architect
could not get his lees out OF the appropria-
ton. Whether he will get the fees by q
special appropriation by the Legislature
or by what plan he Will be paid the Audi
tor does not know, but the Auditor holds
that under the general law, there is no
way TO pay the architect of tho Mission
High School, and be thinks that the gen.
eral law controls him. II there is no
money to pay the architect, there is no
money 10 pay the superin ntendent OF con-

Thomas G. Newman, editor of the Phil
osophical Journal, was publicly received
at Oriental Hail Wednesday evening by
the California State Spiritualists' Associa-
ton, OF which Mr.. Newman is president.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. S. Lille of Boston were
also welcomed and Mrs. Maude L. Frei-

The Teachers Object.

At a meeting of public school teachers held
on Wednesday it was decided to appoint
committee of teachers on legislation to go to
Sacramento, especially in reference to the
certificate bill The rain kept many teachers
away. The discussion was informal. In addi-
ton TO the certificate matter, the changes pro-
posed in the pension law we're also considered.
The objection to- the certificate changes is
based on the provision that teachers may
hereafter, when applying for renewal of
certificates, be examined upon branches upon
which they were not originally examined.

good condition, and was working Just
under the roof where the shaft of the
counterbalance meets The rafters
Tropp was Tightening some bolts. and,
knowing that he was working in the ele-
vator shaft, the man in charge of the
machine called to him to ask if everything
was clear. "All right-go ahead u shouted
Tropp, and the cage was started.
Tropp's head was partially inside the
runway of the counterbalance, and he
must have miscalculated the time he had
IN which TO withdraw it, for the huge
weights caught him and almost tore his
head from his body.
G. NJ. Barrows. an employe of the firm,
said that something was wrong, and yelled
to the elevator man TO stop, but it was too
late, and when the cage ceased to move
Tropp's Iifeless body fell TO the second
story.
Death must have been instantaneous,
for the cage was moving rapidly and the
counterbalance, which weighs several
hundred pounds, landed square on the
back OF his head.
Tropp's body was removed to the
Morgue, where his employer Charles
Kromburg, called later to make arrange
ments for the funeral. He stated that
Tropp alone was to blame, as he had given
the word to start the elevator and should
have at once withdrawn his head from its
dangerous position. He also stated that
Tropp had no relatives in this City, his
wife having died six or seven years ago.
Deceased was 60 years of age and lived
at 33 Twenty-fourth street The elevator
that caused the accide,t was the one mead
to carry the patrons of Smiths Cash
Store to the upper floors of the establish
ment
The man in charge of the elevator was
William Moore. He was 80 frightened
that he could give no lucid account of the
terrible affair except that the carpenter
told him to go ahead, and he had sup
posed that the shaft was clear.

State Warden has been very successful in breaking
up unlawful game shipments out of the State, and
that alone is the ruin of the professional poacher.
Let the good work marked out by Warden Bowers
