Vigilance Has Made Deer and Pro- bibited Fish Scarce in
 This Market.

Fish and Game Warden Joseph Mo- gan is preparing an exhaustive report to the Board of Supervisors regarding his work during the last three months. Within that period he has visited the fish and poultry markets during the daylight as we'll as the night hours and has at all times found the stalls free from contraband fish and meats.
 Warden Mogan's efforts were direct ed particularly toward venison, reports having reached him that deer were be- ing killed in northern cities out or sea- son and shipped to San Francisco. During the past few weeks he mas Vls- ited a number of Chinese fish camps to ascertain whether the laws regard ing nets were being disregarded
 Mir. Mogan does not expect to De able to make any arrests for violations or the game laws until after March l. when the close season for the majority of game birds begins.

HEBREW HOME FOR POOR.
The Hnnuol Meeting Held at Which the Old Officers Were
 Reelected

The annual meeting of the Hebrew Home for Aged Disabled was held at the society's building at 507 Lombard street yesterday afternoon. There was a good attendance of the patrons of the society. President s. Polack, in rendering an account of the society's work for the past year, read an item ized list of what had been received and distributed by the officers having charge. In consequence of the age and infirmness of the matron, Mrs. Flora Israel, she was permitted to resign and MT. and Mrs. Abraham Scott were placed in charge as superintendent and matron respectively. The thanks of the society were rendered to Dr. E. M. Weiss for the attention given the inmates during the last year. Also to the Eur eka Benevolent Society for favors and financial aid rendered to the society. The sum of $500 was given the home from the estate of the following de-

CHIOUITa q DRAWING-CARD
Thousands Visit the HuDon Atom. Small Crowds Gather at ebe
 Park and Cliff.

Chiouita, said to be the smallest liV- ing adult, was visited by several thou sand people at the Chutes yesterday. The park and Cliff House were prao- tically deserted, perhaps owing to the lowering clouds and the breath of win ter that chilled to the very marrow. In consequence wherever a roof and shel- tering walls could be found to protect those in search of diversion after a week of toll the crowds congregated Over seven thousand people visited the Chutes during the day, and as two performances were given by ''The little one" in the pavilion a majority of the visitors witnessed her performance.
 Chiquita is a very atom of human flesh. She has a chubby face and fig ure, which, accompanied by a person ality as cute as her stature, made her many friends. During the performance she rendered several songs, some in Spanish and others in English. Her voice is in perfect keeping with her size, and called forth time and again the applause of the audience.
 The programme at the park was ar unusually good one, but the chill in the air marred the enjoyment of the lovers of harmony who gathered to- gether near the music-stand. No acci- dents occurred to worry the police and hospital surgeons and they were con- tented.
 A majority of the people who went to the Cliff House enjoyed the dance in the Ocean Beach Pavilion. Walking on the beach was rendered very un- comfortable by the wind and spray that leaped from the crests of the breakers, and owing to this the pleas ure-seekers returned to their homes much earlier than usual.

FINDING OF THE MESSIAH
Rev. Fotber H. Wymon Talks oD the Subject at St. Mory's
 Church

The Reverend H. Wyman, pastor of St. Mary's Church, delivered an elo- quent sermon last evening on the sub 1ect of "The Finding of the Messiah" |"
 It is a significant fact" said the preacher, that the first and rep resentative men among the Gentiles, who were called by the visible sign of a miraculous star, ana an inspiration of the holy ghost to the worship of the true God, are called wise men,
 With this as his initial chapter in the unraveling of the subject of the ad- vent of the Messiah, Father Wyman proceeded to explain the miracle of the star of Bethlehem and the consequent inspiration to the Wise men of the East, their stubborn faith in the new born Christ and their abhorrence of the wicked ruler and chief men of Je- rusalem.
 He concluded with the remark that those who find the Messiah to-day in- stead of being scandalized by His pow erty and self-denial, are led by His ex- ample more fervently to follow him.

BEATING THE SLOT MACHINES OA V AAAA NAAA4fAO .~. Clever Work of a Cana of :, Eastern Crooks Now in
 This City. Cigar and Saloon Men Are Heavy LOsers-A Wire Does the
 Business.

A new scheme to beat the nickel-in- the-lot machines, that has brought woe and financial loss to a large number of saloon men and cigar-dealers, has been called to the attention of the police. The bunko men who have worked it successfully are three in number, and their method is systematic
 One of them visits a cigar-store and plays the machine.
 While he Is dropping the nickels the others come along and begin shaking dice at the other end of the counter from the machine, keeping the pro- prietor or attendants attention there as much as possible. The man at the machine has a wire, with one end twisted into a hook, up his sleeve, and when portion of a royal flush shows up quickly and deftly works the wire into the slot, turns the reel on which the cards are fastened and suddenly calls royal flush.
 It is there sure enough, and the card over the machine indicates that the proprietor is out 100 cigars. Some pay even 150 cigars, and bit" cigars at that.
 It is customary when a customer gets a royal" to offer him $5 to $7 50 for his winning, and the schemers who work the wire. trick generally manage to negotiate their cigars for at least S5.
 In saloons they do not get so much but it has been ascertained that the three men average from $50 to $40 per day. Oakland and Alameda have been worked by the trio, and a large number of cigar and saloon men were losers.
 A well-known cigar man on Market street caught the wire worker at his tricks a few days ago and sent for a policeman, but the trio decamped be. fore the officer arrived. Two of the bunko men are smooth shaven and about feet 8 inches in height, while the third, the man who manipulates the wire, is shorter, and wears a dark closely cropped beard. All are wei dressed and are evidently adopts al crooked work.
 The police believe them to be a gans of Eastern crooks who are making z tour of the coast

With tears streaming down

With tears streaming down her cheeks an old woman named Mrs. Prunty, living at 19 Sumner street, vis- tied police headquarters last night and invoked the aid of Chief Lees in finding her daughter Katie.
 The latter is 34 years of age She left her home yesterday morning to visit the grave of her sister in Calvary cemetery, after promising to return at noon. As she had not returned up to o'clock last night her mother became alarmed and notified the police. She fears that some accident had befallen her daughter.
 Several months ago a younger sister of the missing woman was knocked down by a Mission street car and al- most instantly killed. Her tragic death preyed upon her sister to such an ex- tent that it was feared that she would lose her mind
 After the unfortunate woman's re- mains were buried Katie almost daily visited her grave. and remained foI several hours at a time. On returning home it was noticed that her eyes were red and swollen from weeping. She be- came sullen and morose and scarcely
 
 the cemetery yesterday the unfortunate woman remarked to a friend that life had no charms for her and that she in tended to do away with herself.
 Mrs. Prunty is inclined to believe that her daughter has either met witt an accident or has committed suicide Since her sister was killed" she tearfully remarked, "she has not beer the same woman. Every morning she would visit her grave and remain fol several hours. feared that her minC was becoming unbalanced, and for = bade her to continue her visits to thf cemetery. Despite my opposition she daily went to- her sisters grave anC placed a bunch of flowers on it. Sht would kneel at the foot of the gravt and pray until she became exhausted Before leaving home yesterday morn ing she bought a bouquet of f1owerl and started for the cemetery. I en deavored to dissuade her from going but she would not listen to me. I an convinced that something has hap pened her"
 Last night a police officer was sen to the cemetery in the hope that h, might find the woman. He visited tn, grave of her sister but with the ex ception of a pocket handkerchief which she had dropped, he failed tt get a trace of her.
