At Phillips Vaudeville Performance
And he Was Taken in Charge
by the Police.

Otto Dye was in musical mood
last evening and he attended the
vaudeville performance at the New
Phillips. This combination Of cir
cumstances resulted in trouble for
Otto.
Some tnnefnl air caught Otto's ear
and he whistled it in such a loud
key that it disconnected the pianist,
and annoyed the audience until
policeman was summoned and Otto
was taken to the city bastile. He viii

The preliminary work of incorpor-

progressing at a satisfactory rate,
and the men who are behind the

disposed of shortly. Several pro-

When it was first decided to make

The Board Of Associated Charities
has called the attention of the pub
lie to the condition Of the treasury Of
this association. Last October we
sent out 662 circulars to people in our
community, who, i'll the judgment of
the committee, could do something to
aid in carrying on this work. We
have heard, up to the present, from
about go people, some of these re-
gretted that they could not do any,
thing.
To make it easy and convenient to
respond, a stamped return envelope
was enclosed. January %, a re-
minder was sent out to those who had
not responded. We have heard from
some of them. There are still
about 400 from whom we have not
heard. We are anxious to know
whether Richmond wants an associa-
ton of this kind. IF so, it must be
supported by the people. A little
help from each one, will be a great
help to us. We are inclined to be-
lieve that many have merely neglect
ed to attend to this matter, and that
they really want to help.
According to our promise that we
would have some one to call on the
people, we are sending out Rev. E.
Minter. VIII will call on those who
have not responded, and also some
who have not received circular, and
find out what you are willing to do
for this cause. We bespeak for him
kindly reception and liberal re-
spence.

The HaIberd.

The distinctive weapon of the Swiss
was the halberd, which was their prin-
cipal weapon at Morgarten and Lau-
pen. 1t is curious to note how the Teu-
tonic nations, even to this day, prefer
the cut and the Latin nations the point.
We have been told by German officers
that when the German and French
cavalry met in the war Of 1870 the Ger
man sword blades always flashed YER
tically, over their heads, while the
French darted in and out horizontally
in q succession of thrusts. Even the
German dead lay in whole ranks with
their swords at arms length. So the
English at Hastings worked havoc
with their battleaxes. The Ntherland
mercenaries carried a hewing weapon
at Bouvines. The Flemings at Cour-
trai used their godendags fitted alike
both for cut and thrust, and finally the
Swiss made play with their halberds,
an improvement on the godendag.
The halberds had a point for thrust
ing. a hook wherewith to pull men from
the saddle and above all a broad, heavy
blade. ''most terrific weapons" (valde
terribilia), to use the words of John of
Winterthur, "cleaving men asunder
like a wedge and cutting them into
small pieces" One can imagine how
such a blade at the end of an eight
foot shaft must have surprised gallop-
ing young gntlemen who thought them
selves invulnerable in their armor.-

FLOODS MENACE FRISCO.
Earthquake Refugees Suffer Severely
from Storm-Other Coast Towns
in Great Fear.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 2S.-A
heavy rainstorm has swept over the city
and surrounding country, damaging
truck gardens, flooding Easements and
bringing much discomfort and misery to
the quake refugees camped out on low
ground. The fall was the heaviest for
this late season of the year since 1854.
In several parts of the city refugees
camped in low places were driven out
of their tents by the rush of water. Sew
eral stores on fillmore street, which was
impossible between Post and Eddy
streets for a time, were flooded.
The rain storm that has prevailed at
Bakersfield, Cal, for three days has
swollen Kern river to such an extent
that the city is threatened with a food
and merchants began removing goods
from their cellars. The river continues
to rise and desperate efforts are being
made to protect the levees.
Two more victims of the earthquake
and fire have been reported to the police.
