4 SOLDIERS WIFE
 PASSES AWAY
Mrs. Brigadier-General Shafter Died Yesterday at
 Fort Mason.
Stricken With Paralysis a Few Days Aqo While Attending a Gen.
 tury Club Meeting.

Mrs. W. R. Shafter. wife of Brigadier- General Shafter, commander of the De- partment of California, died yesterday at her home at Fort Mason. The cause of death was paralysis. The deceased was taken i'll on Wednesday on leaving a meeting of the Century Club, of which she was a member, and she gradually sank until death came.
 About two years ago Mrs. Shafter was taken ill with the same disease and for a time her life was despaired of, but she slowly recovered, and it was thought all danger from the dread disease had passed. She enjoyed the best of health for months afterward and the second at tack came on suddenly and unexpectedly. She fell to the sidewalk a moment after she left the meeting of the club and did not regain consciousness. Mrs. Shafter was the mother of Mrs. w. II. McKit- trick of Bakersfield.
 The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The services will be conducted by the Rev. Horatio Steb- bins, D.D., and Chaplain Macondray of Angel Island. The interment will be in the National Cemetery at the Presidio.

hurled him back on the bed and pre- vented him from shouting, while the others went through his clothes and relieved him of his property The rob- bers then made their escape.
 Subsequently Price and Clayton were arrested for the crime, and as the case against them was strong, Price, rather than stand trial, pleaded guilty to a charge of grand larceny. He was later sentenced to ten years in prison. Clay ton, however, refused to plead guilty, and went to trial. On his arraignment Clayton admitted a prior conviction on a charge of petty larceny, which was a very rash step, as this assured him life imprisonment in event of his con- yiction on the charge of robbery against him, and then he realized the seriousness of his mistake in admitting a prior conviction. When he appeared for sentence yesterday morning his at torney asked the court to allow the prisoner to withdraw his admission of a prior offense. Judge Wallace denied the request. Then the trembling pris- oner, in hopes the court would recon sider his request, stated that no wea- pon was used in the commission of the robbery.
 ''I cannot help how the crime was committed" said the court "The crime is one of robbery, and as there is a

KEEPING UP THE PACE.
Fred s. AdoDs Jr. of Oakland Wanted for Defrouding an
 lDnkeeper.

Robert D. Hagerty of the Golden Gate Villa, Ocean Beach, swore to a complaint in Judge Conlan's court yesterday for the arrest of Frederick s. Adams Jr. of Oak land on a charge of defrauding an inn keeper.
 Hagerty declares that Adams stopped ht his resort for several weeks, during which he ran up bill amounting to $470. It in- cluded wine for his lady visitors and him. self, borrowed money and the feed and care for his horses. Adams gave Hagerty some diamonds as collateral security and on December 6, when he left the resort he got back his diamonds and gave flag erty instead a check for $470 on the Tal- iant Bank. The cneck was presented at the bank, but was dishonored, as Adams had no account there, and since then Hagerty has been trying to get Adams to pay him the amount.
 Hagerty stated that he will swear to another complaint to-day charging Adams with passing a fictitious check.
 Adams about two years ago came into a fortune of $50 600, on the death of his father, and since then he has been going the pace. He married, was divorced and had to pay the divorcee $5000.

Thanks! Once man; twice child You're a child. It's a pity you could not have given judgment of death How would like to hit that old r" These words, uttered with vicious en- phasis by William Clayton, convicted robber, and directed to Judge Wallace, who was seated on the bench in his courtroom, followed a minute later by desperate attempt on the part of the prisoner to hurl pair of heavy steel handcuffs at the venerable head of the jurist, caused several minutes of wild excitement yesterday morning. Clay ton was up before Judge Wallace for sentence. and the court had just con- cluded his words which will place the robber in Folsom prison for life, when he dramatically hurled a slur at the gray hairs of the Judge and attempted to follow it with the handcuffs.
 The prisoner was arrested in August of last year for having, in company with William Price, robbed L. J. Knight, who resides at TOT Mission street, of watch and chain. It was at 9:30 in the morning when the robbery took place. Knight was in his bed asleep when he was awakened by loud rapping on his door, He asked who was there, but before he could rise and open the door it was broken open and three men rushed in. One of them

prior conviction against you have no alternative but to order that you be imprisoned in the State Prison at Fol som for the term of your natural life. D
 The convict lowered his brovs and grasped the rail of the dock. for an in- stant unnerved. Then with delibera- tion, his voice ringing in anger, he said:
 ''Thanksi Once a man; twice a child. You're child It's a pity you could not have given judgment of death. How I would like to hit that old - -'s headi"
 Judge Wallace made no answer. and Bailiff Curtis ordered the prisoner within the dock. Clayton turned and saw the handcuffs. Quick as a flash he grasped them. but before he could hurl them at the object of his hatred he was seized by Curtis and disarmed
 You can't do that here" said the bailiff, as he forcibly placed the ha nd cuffs on the wrists of the prisoner.
 As he was led from the room tha criminal turned to Curtis and said 1. If it hadn't been for you I'd have laid him out sure.''
 This closed the exciting episode and the courtroom frequenters who haunt the criminal departments in morbid curiosity felt that they had been re- warded for the time expended within the walls of the criminal courtroom.

NELLIE MCHENRY
 IN 4 NEW ROLE
Sings in the Streets of New Or leans, Cleveland and
 Denver.
Stopped the Cotton Market and GOl Ten Dollars From
 Hanna.

Nellie McHenry the popular burlesque and farce comedienne, has new role in her already extensive repertoire. She has tried 1t in New Orleans, Cleveland and Denver with unusual success, and hopes to again play 1t in any city, town or hamlet that may need her assistance.
 It is an original and novel role, and although the work of no famous play wright, it has attracted immense audi ences. Miss McHenry has not only cre- ated but is responsible for the existence Of the new character. The part requires no elaborate mise-en-scenes, just a street-a real, live street-a sympathetic gathering, hat and the actress herself, singing merry, jolly songs as only she can sing them, and a deserving charity to relieve her of the proceeds.
 Miss McHenry first tried her new role in the Cotton Exchange at New Orleans. She sang Isabella" with such chic that the brokers neglected the business in hand, the market was stopped ana the In Cleveland Miss McHenry repeated the role with equal success and scored the greatest triumph by gathering in her ample hat a crisp S10 from the great Hanna On New Years eve Miss Me Henry repeated the successful undertak- ing in Denver and reaped harvest of nearly s400.
 Of ali the roles she has played. Miss McHenry declares she has come to like this one the best.
 Tt was a novel and altogether delight have profited by it. So have l. I have learned new ways to conduct such show, and hope the next time l give the part to gain more than the largest receipts any house has ever held"
 Miss McHenry's limited engagement in this city has prevented her appearing in the fetching role here and coaXing the dollars from the pockets Of the rich for the benefit of the poor. But it Is propa- ble that she will find opportunities for a production in some other California city.

The boom of heavy guns will herald the rising of the Jubilee sun. From every fort and battery around the bay of San Francisco the roar and smoke of cannon will greet the opening of the great day. Orders have been issued that a national salute of twenty-one guns must come from every military post about the harbOr, and the red beams cutting the sky over the Oak land hills will be welcomed with such a medley of fire, smoke and thunder as has not been heard on the peaceful wa ters of the bay for many years. The salute has been ordered for sunrise, and right marttally will it usher in the fes- tai day.
 It was and still is the intention to have an exhibition of heavy artillery practice, but it will depend on the amount of money on hand, and at pres ent the prospects for such an event are not brilliant. It is twenty-one years since public exhibition of what the harbor defense guns are capable of do- ing was given, and the plan to put the big batteries in play will not be drop ped unless under compulsion. The nec- eSSary permission from the War De- partment has been obtained, and the lack of funds is the only difficulty.
 The day will close with a grand bali SANNAA GS AliC 4Ndiihe SOilS Ol Parlor iii Native Sons Hall. The grand march will be ordered for a quarter to o'clock, and when it will end is a question only to be solved by those who have to leave. All the grand off, cers of the order will be present, and the whole affair will be one of the most brilliant events of the Jubilee week
 The Governor, too, has given notice that this morning the proclamation de- clarlng January A a legal holiday will De issued, and with that assured the success of the day is made certain.
 For the first time in the history of the State The regulars and the mili- tia men will meet in friendly rivalry, not on the parade ground, but on the athletic field. There has been a grow ing interest taken in the athletic con- tests at the Presidio. and for an event of the week of festivities it has been decided to bring the amateur and the professional soldier together for honor and glory and incidentally some prizes of considerable value. The events in which the citizen soldiery will take part will include football and baseball matches and a tug-of-war. Teams for these are already in active practice: they will also enter the runs and sprints, the military events whenever possible and the militia troopers may even enter against their hardened ad- versaries of the yellow stripes and plumes and risk life and limb in their endeavor to demonstrate their own pro- ffciency.
 The flower show. too, is now almost assured. Yesterday afternoon the ! ladies in whose charge the affair had been left appeared before the State Floral Society and asked for the SUD- port of the individual members. It was freely granted and before the meeting adjourned the flower society was near ly as enthusiastic over the project as the California Club.
 The ladies stated that the hardest part of the undertaking had been ac- complished inasmuch as they had se- cured the permission of the Supervi- sors to use Union Square and Mayor
