YSAYE AS AN
 ACCOMPANIST.
COMPLIMENTS GERARDY BY
 APPEARING.
The Audience Listens With Delight to the Rendition of Bach's Aria by the Noted
 Artists.

Ysaye, the renowned virtuoso who has enraptured large audiences at the Bald win during the past week by his masterly lowing created a furor at the popular playhouse last evening by artistically ac- companying Gerardy on the piano in the latters rendering of Bachs aria.
 It Is impossible to say who was the most surprised-Gerardy or the music-lovers who sat before the footlights. The sud- denness of Ysaye's appearance on the stage, following as he did Gerardy, who had returned to respond to the enthusias- tic appreciation of his playing of one ot Locatellis beautiful sonatas. simply held the audience spellbound.
 Their eyes followed his dignified march across the stage, and when he took his seat at the piano they awaited develop ments It soon came. Gerardy's graceful bow was drawn across the bridge of his noble and soul-stirring violoncelo, and the strains of the beautiful composition filled the theater. Softly following could be heard the warm tones of the piano, in perfect harmony with the stringed in strument touched by a masterly hand until the edifice was suffused with mel ody. At the conclusion of the playing, the ladies almost split their gloves, so earn est was their applause while the men did their share in showing appreciation for the unlocked for treat.
 Both musicians were repeatedly re- called, and Gerardy responded with an- other composition.
 When Gerardy was released by the kindly but selfish gathering he hurried to Ysaye and poured forth his thanks for the compliment paid him. Ysaye's only explanation for the act was that whim struck him and he followed it's bent.
 During the past few months Gerardy has been wont to play the aria without accompaniment, and when Ysaye unex- pectedly took his position at the piano it disconcerted him for moment, but ap preciating the high honor being paid him, he played as he never did before. All the fire and magnetism that he possesses was poured into the priceless instrument, and when he had concluded bright flush of pleasure covered his countenance.
 Lachaume, the clever young artist who accompanies Ysaye and Gerardy in all their selections, gazed in wonderment at the former and listened with enwrapped interest to the violinist's interpretation of the composition.
 1t is said that Ysaye's appearance at the piano in public last evening was his first and might have been his last but for the fact that admirers want to see him repeat it. Tonight he will accompany Gerardy again. Ysaye may have another surprise in store for his listeners Some one whispered that he imbued with patriotic ardor. and he may indulge 1t in patriotic selections as fitting finale to successful engagement.

 Auditor Frederick, accepting the deci- sion of the people last Thursday for q reduction of salaries by adopting the charter, moved that the clerks in the Registrars office be paid $lO0 a month in future instead of $125. as has been the custom heretofore. Mayor Phelan and Registrar Biggy did not favor the motion. but, nevertheless. it was carried
 One of those little pleasantries that will become more manlIest by and by between the Auditor and the Registrar cropped out at the meeting when Biggy notified the Commissioners that he wanted clerks Frederick wished to know the number. but Biggy declined to say adding that he would only employ what were neces- sary. Broderick reminded him that the the Registrar, for the management of the office Mayor Phelan seemed disposed to yield to the Registrars views. but the Auditor stood firm.

"GUS" FREEZER THE VICTIM
ROBBED OF HIS WATCH WITHIN
 A FEW FEET OF HIS HOME.

The police are looking for two daring thieves. who have been operating in the Western Addition.
 Several days ago they snatched purse from a woman, who was walking along Van Ness avenue, and notwithstanding that they were pursued by several citi- zens, who witnessed the act. they man aged to escape.
 Last Thursday night August Freyer, a saloonkeeper, who lives on Devisadero street near Hilbert. was on his way home, when he was accosted by two roughly clad men, who asked him the time. Freyer took out his watch and he opened it, one of the men grabbed the timepiece and ran away, followed by the astonished saloonkeeper.
 After running a short distance Freyer, realizing he could not overtake them, gave up the chase. Last night he visited police headquarters and reported the rob- bery. From his description of the thieves the police are convinced that they are the men who snatched the purse from the woman on Van Ness avenue.
 Henry Heidron, who lives at 973 Harrf- son street, mourns the loss of purse containing $171 and a gold ring, which was stolen from him last Wednesday while he was en route to the butchers picnic.
 After reaching the Oakland mole Hei- dron, who was in the midst of the crowd, As he turned around to see who admin istered the blow he felt a hand inserted in his pocket. Before he could seize the hand it was quickly drawn from his pocket, together with his purse and its valuable contents. Last night Heidron reported the robbery to Captain Spllane. He is convinced that the thief struck him in the side so as to divert his attention while he abstracted his pocket-book.
