The San Francisco call., 1905-05-24

the magistrates presages an early tri-
umph of the crusade. Nothing could

blackguard-who is usually coward
to boot-from aindulging his penchant
than to see his ilk punished as severely
as the ordinance permits.
No less famous a parsonage than
Ysaye, the violinist, was the unoffend-
ing object of insulting oral attack from
a filthy-souled hoodlum at l o'clock
yesterday morning on Powell street, be-
tween Eddy and Ellis. The virtuoso
was sauntering past a saloon and at
tending strictly to his own business
when fellow, who was standing at the
door, leeringly exclaimed, with an OBJ
scene epithet by way of prefix, Why
don't you get your hair cut?" Patrol
man D. Murphy happened to overhear

ly arrested its author, while Ysaye,
after one contemptuous glance at the
prisoner, resumed his walk. The black
guard was booked as Daniel ONeill,

Judge Cabaniss he failed to appear, so
his $40 bail was ordered forfeited. His
Honor expressed regret that he was not

of sickness. Then another one-fourth
sought excuse on L. ground that their
business would go to the bowwows If

Mr.. Brady averred that Mrs Valentine
