Most attractive and entertaining was the performance presented by the Co lumbian Lady Minstrels at Odd Fellows, Hall in behalf of the Native Sons Of Vermont at their regular monthly gaher- ing last night. The hall was filled +o ra- pletion and the curtain rose on a first part which was at once novel and nio- turesque.

Supervisors Refuse Per- nlits for January and
 February.
Sharkey and Jeffries Will Not Meet and George Green
 Is MatchleSS.
Chinese May Bury Their Dead in the City Cemetery Until the First
 of April

The Health and Police Committee of the Board of Supervisors had a lively time yesterday with boxing and burial permits. Several clubs that have ar ranged fights for the near future were applicants for permission, but all were refused to hold their entertainments during the present month and the next
 The National Club had arranged for a match between Sharkey, the pride of the navy, and Jeffries. the Los An geles giant, for a date during this month, and had representative at the meeting of the committee.
 It was decided, however, to shut off all permits for January, and conse- quently the two knights of the fstic art will not meet in the roped arena.
 The Occidental Club was also an ap- pHcant for permit, having arranged to give George Green a match between FebruarX 70 and 25, but the prohibi- ton of the committee extended even to next month, and the club was refused the privilege of holding an exhibition.
 Unless the committee relents boxing will soon be back number among the sports in vogue in San Francisco. and the small clubs that are hOurishing in interior towns will benefit by the change.
 He CnlneSe, who have been unable so far to secure a burial ground out side the city limits, induced the com mittee yesterday to extend the prohi bition against burials in the City Gem etery until April 1.
 It was represented to the committee that 1t would be unjust to compel the chinese companies to secure a burial ground at short notice, and that if they were allowed time they would be willing to forego any further burials within the city limits.
 The committee took the ground that IL would be unwise and unjust to force the matter arbitrarily, and it was finally decided to grant the request of extension.
 It is expected that a vigorous pro- test will be filed by the Richmond res ldents when the matter comes before the full board, and that Mayor Phelan Will veto the measure if it comes with in his province to do so.

 They intended to invite all the florists to take part No rent will be charged for the space and no commission asked; all the florists will have to do is to bring their flowers and sell them and any money realized in this manner will go to the florists themselves.

 The Native Daughters met in the headouarters last night and discussed nIans for the Native Daughters ban nuet which will be held on Native Daughters Day. It was decided that the tables would be spread in the ban ouet room of the Native Sons Hall and the reception would be held in the main hall.

A Promising Commonwealth.

<N I OAiAAolAAS3 GdlIIl.
 Rabbi Voorsanger. in his lecture last night, referred to the Jubilee and to one of the causes which has made it possible. The city and State, he said, is approaching a season of celebration of which 1t may well be proud. and then, in analyzing the growth of the city and State to it's present position where such celebration may be plan ned and executed he cited as the pri- mary factor the tide of immigration which had swept westward to the shores of the Pacific.
 Immigration, he said, is governed first by the law of necessity. and then by the search for gain, and then with this as his theme he described the mi grationS of the tribes of Asia in the Biblical ages, and of the nations of En- rope and Northern Africa. describing the effect on civilization of each and telling the causes which drove them to wander.
 The great tide of immigration to this country began in 1S4S, he said. and from then to the present the march of civilization here had been as great as that of Europe had been in centuries The search for new fields was one req son for this, he continued, and the dis covery of gold was another. These had brought to these shores a tide of popp- lation which had made this "one of the most promising commOnwealths if has pleased God to call into existence"

Burglars Enter the Residence of
George 4c0regor.
WAS UNDER THE MATTRESS
1bs Cash Extracted While the Family
We Asleep : No knowledge Of h
Theft Until the Money Was
Missed Yesterday Morning.

The most daring robbery that has
ever been reported to the police in m
conda came to notice yesterday when
George McGregor notified the officers
that his residence had been entered and
that 800 had been stolen from under
the mattress upon which his wife. child
n himself were asleep.
The burglary occurred sometime be-
tween ~ and 6 o'clock Friday morning.
Just what the hou was is not known,
a. the robbery was not discovered until
yesterday morning, when Mr.. McGregor
awoke and found h money missing.
The residence of McGregor lis situated
on West Park avenue. and during the
afternoon OF Thursday people living In
the neighborhood had noticed three
tough looking characters prowling
about. One of the trio was a colored
q n the other two were white men.
1t Is believed that these three fellows
are the men who robbed the McGregor
residence.
Mr.. and Mrs. McGregor and their
child sleep in a room which has a win
dow looking out upon the yard. When
h family retired on Thursday night
they forgot to lower the curtain of the
window, and IL is the supposition that
h robbers took advantage of this fact
and watched the room until all were
asleep. Before retiring Mrs. McGregor
placed beneath the mattress of the bed
$50 in cash and a check for $25, which
fact was also doubtless noted by the
robbers.
All the doors of the house were locked,
but a 10 the f~astenings consisted of only
ordinary. locks, 1T would be an easy
matter for any one to open any of them
with a piece OF wire or other ,instru-
ment. 1t is the supposition that the
robber or robbers entered the house by
means of the rear door. stole quietly
through the Intervening rooms n en-
tered the apartment where the Nc
Gregor family was asleep. Once in
the room they reached stealthily under
the mattress where Mrs. McGregor had
been seer to put the money and then
quietly sneaked out again. That all
these movements did nor awaken either
or his wife show that the
burglars were men who were accurate
at their work, and they went through
the whole performance, without any
noise or disturbance whatever.
The money taken amounted to $50
in cash and a check for s25 upon Clark
Bros bank of Butte. The police were
notified of, the burglary early yesterday
morning, as soon as 1t was discovered
that the money was gone, but so far no
clue has been found that promises to
lead to the identity of the robbers.
