SCOUTS WILL DRILL FOR
THE McKINNON BENEFIT
Famous Filipino Warriors Volunteer
TO Aid Memory of Departed
Chaplain of the Army.

Tents will be folded at the camp of
the Filipino Scouts next Tuesday.
Their departure was set for an earlier
date, but strenuous efforts on the part
of the McKinnon memorial committee
have availed to keep them here long
enough to participate in the military
and athletic carnival to be held at Me-
chanics' Pavilion next Monday for the
benefit of the fund. 1t is seldom that
the United States military authorities
change any plans but in this case an
exception has been made. The Fill
pinos will be permitted to remain long
enough to participate in the entertain
ment.
Throughout the entire army the
name of the kindly soldier priest is
still held in reverence and affection.
The little brown men themselves are
delighted to hear that they will be able
to remain here to participate in the
benefit. They have been rehearsing
daily to make this exhibition which
will be their only public appearance
here, an emphatic success.
When q Filipino once takes anything
TO heart it requires a long time to
make him forget it and the Scouts
having once been told that they would
be able to help raise funds for the Nc
Kinnon monument would be broken
hearted If the opportunity should be
taken from them. They look forward
with delight to seeing the beautiful
bronze memorial which they will have
helped to erect when they return from
the st. Louis Exposition.
Besides the drill of the Scouts, there
will be the best that the Olympic Club
has in the way of athletics. AS soon
as the FiliDinos leave the floor boxers
and wrestlers will appear everywhere
at the same time, so that the specta-
tors will be almost dazzled with feats
of Drawn and skill Every dollar col
lected will be devoted to the founding
Of a memorial to Father McKinnon,
the departed chaplain of the First Cal
ifornia Regiment. Tickets to the ben
eft can be had at Sherman & Clay's
music store and at the First Regiment

GIVES HEARERS
NEW DELIGHTS

Franz, Handel, more Schumann and
the big aria from Samson ct Dalila"
Of Saint -Saens were among the new de-
lights introduced to us by Schumann-
Heink last night at her second concert.
Further acquaintance only reveals
deeper treasures in this glorious sing
er's gift. She is big as Bauer is big
as | thought and some one else said.
Her art is as nobly sufficient, tonic,
refreshing. One can sit back and
simply enjoy without reserve anything
the woman does, thanking the gods for
whatever critical faculty one possesses
in that it conduces only to further en-
joyment. The vocal dimensions are
enormous, yet suffice only to voice the
greatness of heart and soul of the
singer. She has in truth a Titanic note.
as greatly sweet as it is full, as finely
fine in its Dianissimo as it is sweet.
In Handels "Lascia" Schumann-
Heink found the nobest legato, great
full-breathed phrase, mastery in
its poise. The Samson ct Dalila"
aria-oh, so well accompanied by Miss
Hartman!-was given with utmost
dramatic magnificence The singers
notable capacity for picture making
was notably exhibited in the Schu-
mann Der Arme Peter and the little
Schubert "Wohin.' The latter was re-
peated to thunderous encore. It's rep
etition evoked another. Then Madame
came out to open her humorous mouth
into its biggest smile. The smile
evoked another But we charitably let
her go then As on Tuesday, the Hugo
Wolf "Heimweh," that was wisely re-
peated-let us have it again on Satur-'
day, Madame-was encored Justify. It
is all sorts delicious THE Lord Is

highly attained by the singer was
again given and the altogether delight

GIRL CHOKED
By STRANGER
Margaret Giblin Attacked
by Man Admitted to Flat
Where She Is Employed

Margaret Giblin, a domestic. en-
ployed by Mrs. Agnes j. Connolly,
teacher in the public schools, living
at 1919 Leavenworth street, was as
saulted by an unknown young man on
Wednesday morning in the hallway OF
her employers frst-foor fiat. The
police believe the deed was prompted
by enmity for Mrs. Connolly and that
Miss Giblins assailant mistook her for
her mistress.
Mrs. Connolly owns the fats at
1315-1319 LeavenvOrth street and re-
Gently had trouble with one of her
tenants, Mrs. Alice Andrews, who Oc-
cupied the flat No. 1915. Mrs. An
drews changed her abode several
weeks ago, and, according to Captain
Martin of the detective force, she
vowed at that time to be revenged on
Mrs. Connolly. The police are inves-
tigating the possibility of any cOnnec-
ton existing between this alleged
threat and the attack on Mrs. Con-
nolly's maid.
On Wednesday morning at o'clock
Miss Giblin was summoned to the door
by the ringing of the bell. a stranger
said he had seen a notice on the door
of No. 1915 announcing that the fiat
was to let and directing inquirers to
No. 1919 for the key. The girl went
back into the fiat after admitting the
stranger to the entry, where he closed
the front door and sat down. When
she returned with the key in her hand
he sprang up and grasped her by the
throat saying, II don't want the key,
but 1 am going to kill you"
With one hand over Miss Gfblfn 5
mouth to prevent her from crying out
and the other clasped tightly about
her throat the thug tried to throw her
to the floor, but the young woman
wrested herself from his grip and fed
screaming into the rear rooms Her
assailant escaped into the street and
has not been seen sinc~- Miss Giblins
throat and lips were cut by the mans
nails and the light waist she wore was
torn off her shoulders. The case was
reported at police headquarters by
Mrs. Connolly and Detective Bailey
was detailed on it, but no arrest has
been made.
Miss Gfblin describes her assailant
as being about 25 years old, tall, fair,
smooth-faced, good looking, of slight
build and wearing a black sack suit
and derby hat.
Mrs Andrews was not to be found
last evening at the ST. Louis apart
ments, where she now resides, but her
sister said that both the ladies had
been absent from the city for three
weeks. returning only yesterday morn
ing. THE idea that my sister could
have had any connection with this af-
fair Is absurd" she added.
