AS A MUSICIAN
Miss Des RoChers'
Success.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
ans RrnadWav Aug. l3.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
90S Broadway, Aug. 13.
Nine years ago, with the ink yet wet
on her High School diploma, Miss Maude
des Rochers left Oakland and her scores
Of friends for New York, bent on com
pleting a musical education that was
already well advanced. This week, with
New York honors thick upon her, and
skilled through long months and years OF
hard study on the piano, she has returned
TO her old home.
During her long absence Miss Des
Rochers has enjoyed a thorough course
Of study and met with degree of sue
cess that would have turned the head Of
almost any other girl. But modesty IS
yet one of Miss Des Rochers' chief char
acteristics. She can pride herself upon
being considered one Of this country 3
most gifted pianistes, and one who IS
admitted within the limits of New York
sOCiety's sacred circle, where many a
young woman more persistent and less
modest has failed utterly to enter. She
seems, however, while not Indifferent to
her achievement, almost unaware Of its
great significance.
! Within the last year Miss Des Rochers
! gave a, series Of concerts in Carnegie
! Hall. They were strictly invitational and
were attended by the best people Of lne
Eastern metropolis. Among those pres
ent and presumably interested in the en-
| tetainments were the John p Rookie
fellers, the DR.. Keyes and other proml-
nent families Of musical inclination.
Miss Des Roc ers was assisted at these
concerts by Erickson Bushnell, the
great barytone and by Judson Bushnell
his brother, together with other fine
artists She won praise for her dainty
programme and the most generous
plaudits for her playing, her tone, express
sion, power and finish being of the high
est quality.
The Rockefellers We're so charmed with
the talented Californian girl that they
engaged her to play at drawing room
Next season also Miss Des Rochers will
be heard at the Rockefellers, where the
most artistic and talented people of New
York gather.
Miss Des Rochers will remain in Oak
land until October. She is now the guest
of Mrs. John l.. Howard on Vernon
Heights. She says Oakland is the Boston
of the West, and declares that it has
musical talent of a high order in in abun-
dance In New York, Oakland is spoken
of as a city of musical artists.

FOUL WORD NEARLY
COST HIM HIS LIFE

OAKLAND, Aug. 1S.-The utterance of
vile epithet by Felix Jacoby of Pied
mont, addressed to c. H. McKinnon,
nearly cost the former his life this morn
ing. Jacoby is a gardener, aged 40 years,
and McKinnon by occupation is a tailor.
The two men met in a saloon this morn
ing and afterward quarreled in front of
the Galindo Hotel on Eighth street. One
word led to another, and finally Jacoby
called McKinnon vile name. McKinnon
resented it by striking the gardener a
blow between the eyes with his fist,
which knocked him down. AS he fell his
head struck upon the concrete curb, rem
dering him unconscious. McKfnnon was
arrested and charged with battery.
Jacoby was treated at the Receiving
HOSPITAL for badly lacerated scalp. He
was unconscious for several hours; and
though his injury will not prove fatal
from present indications, II is feared that
his brain has been affected. He imagines
that an Eighth-street car struck him.
and in his delirium he declares he will
sue the Oakland Transit Company for
damages

Vallejo, where a stop of an hour was
made Martinez was next visited and
il was intended TO touch at BeniCia,
but the New Workers declared they
had already seen more than they could
assimilate and the Prov of the vessel
was turned homeward. After lunch,
which was served in the saloon, the
real fun of the trip commenced and
eliminated in a cakewalk in which
DR.. Magnus carried off the hOnOrs.
That cakewaIk of the doctors was
something unique and wonderful, and
left an ineffa aceable impress on the
memory of all who witnessed it. 1t
had been announced that a grand
prize would be given the Arion who
could drink beer most gracefully from
a glass, but the judges refused to
decide in favor of any one, as all were
the personification of grace in ex-
ecuting this seemingly simple but re-
ally exceedingly difficult maneuver.
While DR.. Magnus' cakewalk was
generally voted the strangest and most
extraordinary feature Of the days out
ing, there were many who were in
clined TO give the palm to the horn
solo by Rudolph Mohr. The quality of
music produced by Rudolph could not
be duplicated anywhere, and the owner
of the instrument was 80 crestfallen

dered his resignation on the spot to
Bandmaster Bennett, and could not
be induced to resume his place in the
band until his courage had been in a
measure restored by liberal doses of
beer administered through a funnel.
1t was nearly o'clock when the
Piedmont re-entered her slip and the
excursionists crowded ashore, tired but
happy. Not an unpleasant incident
marred the trip, and the visiting
Arions were enthusiastic over the
views along the shores of the bay, as
we'll as this further evidence of Cali

of Z. A. Otto, came aboard, armed
with an enormous trident and a fierce

Of a long residence among barnacles
