NOW FOR THE AUDITORIUM
A Meeting of the Association Will be
Called This Week.

A call for a meeting of the Auditor
ium association will be issued by Major
7. J. Anderson this week. Major An
derson will consult with Mr.. W. H.
Davis, vice president, and Mr.. c. H.
Nettels, secretary, today, and decide
on the date of the meeting.
It is possible that Major Anderson
will withdraw his resignation as presi-
dent of the Auditorium association,
which was rendered several months ago
but was never acted upon. Major An
dersOn resigned principally because he
had not time to devote to the work
and the Fall Festival work too. There
is but little doubt if the association re-
quests him to withdraw his resignation
as it undoubtedly will, he will do so.
Major Anderson is an excellent man
for the position

HATPIN WINS A FIGHT.
A Woman Rescues a Cable Con-
ductOr From Two Robbers.

Chicago, Jan. 10.-Two men, who last
night tried to rob Conductor Warren
Symington of the Blue Island avenue
cable train, were foiled by woman
passenger named Miss Sadie Williams
Besides Miss Williams there were
three other passengers wom-
an and two men, and the gripman.
Neither the male passengers nor the
gripman came to the help of the con-
ductOr, who was having a desperate
fight with the ro3eers inside of the
car.
Just as the robbers were getting the
best of the fight, she concluded to take
a hand.
Grabbing her long hat pin. that fas-
tened her hat to her hair, she made a
plunge with the pin on the robber near
est her.
All her strength was lent to the
thrust, and the man screamed with
pain. He released his hold on the con
ductOr and turned on Miss Williams.
She stuck him again, and he quit the
fight. Miss Williams went for the next
man, and she made a thrust for his
eyes. The point of the pin struck his
cheek
Take her off, cried the robber. He
turned to look for his companion, who,
by that time was on the platform
making ready to jump. He was asked
to come back, but he did not. Mean
time the young woman was striking for
more vital parts than the face. She
reached with her pin for his stomach.
His thick clothing saved his life. The
conductor was then bleeding and in a
half dazed condition. When he came
to his senses, there were but two per
sons on the car.
The other persons, whose names
could not be learned, had gone. So had
the robbers
When the excitement was over and
the robbers had disappeared behind
some buildings, Miss Williams replaced

for Two Weeks.

Z San Francisco, CAL, Sept. 20. Mrs.
Cordelia Botkin yesterday made her
third appearance in court in response
to habeas corpus proceedings, which
were instituted in her behalf some
weeks ago.
Mrs, Botkin's attorneys had appeared
and asked for continuance until
October Sd, but Mrs. Botlsin had not
been informed Of the intention of her
attorneys as to the continuance and
some minutes after the case had been
put over she put in an appearance,
accompanied by Captain of Police Sey-
mour and her sister, Dora Brown.
Capt. Seymour had to force passage
for her through the crowd in the court
| room.
When she had passed beyond the
| throng she was informed that her pres
ence was not necessary. She did p6t
delay a moment on learning of the dis
| position of the proceedings, but turned.
and with the aid of her sister and
Capt. Seymour, pushed her way out OF
the court room. The crowd, in which
there were many women, followed her
into the corridor and downstairs to
the city prison.
