OUR NEWEST HERO.

SOAS 10 uAC Suit
and glory Of battle,
Silent the Mauser
and the lannon's roar;
No longer do we hear
the musket rattle
We cheer our heroes
from the war no more.
But from a mighty Nation
there emerges
A person, bruised and battered,
grim and great,
And round him, with yell,
his country surges-
The football mans
the hero up to date.
He's padded, leather capped
and dressed for slaughter,
He wears no Uniform
nor coat Of blue,
Nor shining buttons,
but each modern daughter
Likes him much better
than the men who do.
Crowned with our blossoms
violet red and yellow
He stands with naughty mien
to meet Our gaze
He's not beautiful,
but he's the fellow
At whom jest now
we're throwing our boquets.
He is our newest hero
nicer, later
Than gallant boys in blue
who spiked the guns,
The man who fights is great,
but there's a greater:
The lightning-legged
football chap who runs:
What do we care
for recent history's cackles
BY military anecdote
we're bored;
We want a rush, a touchdown
or a tackle
The pisskin no v Is mightier
than the sword.
We've most forgotten
cen our greatest hero,
He's shelved securely
in the Hall of Tame;
War jest at present
really rates at zero;
Footballs a vastly
interesting game.
The Stars and Stripes
we are coolly shaking
For pennants crimson,
bloc, and blaek-and. tan
Say, can you see them by
the dawn's first breakings
The eagles screaming
for the football man!

belief that the people OF San Francisco
Will respond literally for the benefit Of
those who have never failed to be fore
most in aiding every charity.
Aside from this sentimental feature Of
the benefit the absolute merit of the per-
forrnance is something that would appeal

heart ought TO be. The programme Of

local theaters. Not only will the man that

ROBBED OF HIS
VALUABLES BY A
CONFIDENCE MAN
A Victim of Misplaced
Trust.

Until yesterday morning Frederick
Denges, 1850 Folsom street. had implicit
trust in the honesty OF his fellow-men.
but now he has good and sufficient cause
to change his mind, and he declares that
IL will be long time before he is played
on Tuesday night he was wandering
around the 'tenderloin' in search OF
amusement. and at Taylor and Ellis
asked to be directed 10 Kearny street.
They started a conversation, and the
stranger told Denges that he had only
arrived In the city from the north that
morning and was temporarily in financial
difficulties. He talked so glibly that
Denges became deeply interested in him
and invited him 10 have drink. They
had several drinks. and the stranger sug-
gested they should call in two Of the fair
sex TO join In their hilarity. The sugges-
ton was acted upon and they had more
drinks.
After they parted from the girls Denges
invited the stranger to accompany him
TO his home. and the stranger appeared TO
hesitate; but Denges was insistent and
they made their way to 1850 Folsom street.
They slept in the Same room, and before
retiring Denges took purse out of his
pocket and placed II on shelf in the
closet. 1t contained slO2 in coin and three
diamond rings valued at about $500.
When Denges awoke yesterday morning
his friend had gone, and when he looked
in the closet the purse and its contents
had also disappeared. He had a faint
recollection that his new-found friend had
said that his name was Wicker. but he
could not recollect his christian name.
Denges hurried 10 police headquarters and
told of his loss. He was instructed TO
procure a warrant for the thief's arrest on
the charge of grand larceny, so he ex-
planned his trouble TO Judge Mogan, and
the Judge signed the warrant and the
detectives are now securing the city for

give a good description OF him they ex-

AN APPEAL WILL BE TAKEN

Thomas A. Kelly's conviction for having
knowingly and feloniously. accepted a

ing negro has fallen like a bomb among
the crooked element that haunts the City
Hall for the purpose of perpetrating SINH
lar scandals on the people. They are fly
ing TO cover in punches and in the mean
time Kelly is speculating as To whether
or not he Will be given a new trial by the
Supreme Court or whether or not Judge
Lawlor Will make an example OF him and
give him the full limit allowed by law
TOR his crime.
and Kelly himself are confident that re-
versible error exists in the record of the
case and that the accused will ultimately
be acquitted. An appeal will be taken
Immediately to the Supreme Court On
the other hand the prosecution is conf
dent that the conviction will stand and
that the punishment of Kelly will stand
Although a great deal of credit belongs
to Captain Seymour for his labor in col
lecting evidence against the straw
bondsman. more belongs to Judge Lawlor.
Some time ago an attempt was made to
quash the case on the ground that Reilly.
whose name appeared on the band and
who was an important witness, could not
be found. Judge Lawlor, however. spur
red the police and District Attorney on to
renewed action and the result was that
Reilly was found and Kelly convicted.
The conviction OF Kelly has resulted in a

TO rule in the same unbiased and fearless
manner, n the event OF the arrest OF an
other crook OF the same stamp. that in a
great measure resulted In the triumph of

After the arrest a crowd of newsboys
gathered, chased Horn into the Emporium
and then out again into the street. Several
thousand people gathered, shouting de-
risively at Horn as a Southern Pacific
"spotter." Mayor Phelan appeared on the
scene and was cheered by the crowd when
he expressed words of sympathy for the
