Imitation of Mrs. Fiske Makes
Thrill for Orpheum Patrons
Bv james Crawford

rF you have seen Mrs. Fiske's por-
1 trayal of Leah Kleschna you may OBJ
| tain a thrill by going to the Orpheum
- and witnessing Idalene Cotton's imi-
tation of it. All that protects you
from perfect delusion is about half an
inch of stature which the imitator ap
parently cannot eliminate by any
means other than heel amputation. else
it would not be permitted to stand be-
tween her and completeness of counter
part In every other detail she is so
close to Mrs. Fiske's impersonation of
the girl thief that only a replica could
be closer. Her voice is the Fiske voice,
even TO the irritating faultiness of die
ton, and her action is exact dupli-
cate Of the Fiske portrayal in that
heart gripping scene where Lena in
forms her father that she is tired of
the life criminal. In my opinion that
brief bit of work by Miss Cotton is the
cleverest thing on the Orpheum's re-
vised bill.
Unfortunately for the topliner, sur
named Semon and advertised as The
Narrow Feller,' he is preceded on the
programme by the Dillon Brothers, by
one of whom he is equaled. if not ex-

FATE OF MAN WHO
WAS BANDAGED
Carried for Three Blocks
on Fender of Car, but
He Won't Be Arrested
NO DAMAGES FOR HIM

The new ordinance of the Supervis-
ors allowing passengers on the United
Railroads rolling stock to ride on only
certain parts of the cars is causing
peculiar complications. One of the
drastic provisions of the ordinance is
that thou shalt not ride on the tenders
of the car. Usually patrons of the
transportation trust do not ride on that
part of the vehicle, but Thornwell Null
lally, assistant to the president of the
road, has met a man who did.
The man limped into Mullally's office
last Saturday with a demand for real
and exemplary damages written all
over him in the way of multitudinous
bandages. One eye had been closed
and he wanted $4,000 as damages for
that; an ankle had been twisted $500
worth; twelve square inches of cuticle
had been scraped from his shoulders
at 500 square; a knee had been sent
into the Coventry of a plaster cast,
and that was expensive-it would cost
the company about $4,000 to make that
all right; suit of clothes was spoiled,
value $500 or something like that
total, $4,000.
Mullally listened to the tale of how
the man was knocked down by car
0013. And then I was picked up on
the fender and carried three blocks"
concluded the victim.
Mutually was horrified. You rode on
the fender?" he cried, aghast.
Yes replied the bandages. meekly.
MY good man." sighed Mutually, Il
will not be harsh with you, but 1
should advise you that this is no place
for you to live Honduras is about
right
'Why?" gasped the man. turning
pale.
You have broken the law of the
land whispered Mullaily, gently. The
Board of Supervisors has passed an act
making it an offense to ride on the
tenders, but If you will say nothing
about this matter 1 will not, even
though I am placing myself in jeop-
ardy by compounding a felony. Har-
DID, he added to the boy who came in,
show this gentleman out by a rear
door, so he can avoid the police. Good

of the corporation set to work to see
what streets were not already torn up
that operations there might commence

POLICE BOXES. ARE
NOT OPERATIVE

Clamor has beenN raised by mer-
chants against the tardiness of the
department of electricity and the Po-
lice Department in not re-establishing
the police signal box system. East
ward of Steiner street there is not a
box at which a policeman may call
for a patrol wagon.
Already there has been a murder re-
sulting from the delay in reconstruct
in the system Policeman Cook was
killed on Seventh street after he had
arrested three crooks and while he
was taking them long distance to a
telephone, that he might call for help.
When an arrest is made downtown
the policeman must take his prisoner
to a store or Office building before he
can telephone for the wagon.
Recently drunken prisoner had to
be taken into downtown bank, to
the disgust of the patrons and the
anger of the bankers, and he was kept
there until the patrol wagon could be
summoned.
All along Fillmore street there are
no boxes. Everywhere in the city the
merchants are aroused against the
neglect of the department of the mu-
nicipality in this matter. The cost of
fitting out the system would amount
to about $500.

WORK FOR HARBOR
IMPROVEMENTS

Several delegates from California
will work for the interest of the State
in the National Rivers and Harbors
Convention, to be held in Washington,
D. c., December and z. Not many
people in the East, it is asserted, know
the Importance of the California har-
bors. scattered along coast line for
500 miles.
Through the means of this congress
the delegates will endeavor to gain for
California the proportion of money an
nually appropriated for harbor i'm
provements to which the common
wealth believes itself entitled. This
work will be done by endeavoring to
educate the other delegates in the ex-
tent and Importance of location of the
States many natural harbors. Statis-
tics concerning the coast line and the
commercial possibilities it presents
have been prepared and will be pre-
sented at the congress.

FLAMES ENOANGER.
REFUGEE CAMP
Six Engine Companies Stop
Spread of Fire Among the
Jefferson Square Tents
CANDLE SETS BLAZE

Through an accidental fire in tent
500 in Jefferson Square last night the
entire refugee camp was threatened
with destruction. bit the prompt ac-
tion of six fire engine companies pre-
vented spread of the flames and the
damage was limited TO the burning of
the tent.
The tent was occupied by Mrs. Olive
Tohtg and her daughter. candle was
left burning in the tent while they
visited a neighbor. During their abb
sence the flame of the candle set fire
to the canvas near by.
William Wolf, sign painter of Pa
cific avenue and Webster street, was
the first to discover the flames and he
ripped hole in the tent with his knife
and entered. He threw out many
articles of furniture and was badly
burned about the hands.
Fire alarms were turned in by per-
sons in the camp and the engines re-
sponded quickly. For q time the refu-
gees were in a panic and it was with
diff1culty that quiet was restored.
Mrs. Tohigs daughter was so car
ried away with excitement over the fire
that she became hysterical and was
taken to the Central Emergency Hos
pital. Men campers conveyed her to the
hospital on a blanket as a substitute
Tor stretcher.

SCHOOLS INDICATE
CITYS GROWTH
Daily Attendance Is Only
About 5000 Less Than 1t
Was Previous to the Fire
MORE MONEY NEEDED

School Director L F. Walsh said last
night that the increase in the attend
ance in the public schools has been al
most phenomenal, and that the average
daily attendance has now reached
10000. or within 5000 of what il was
last year. Despite the fact that the
board has been busy all year putting
up new buildings, there is not yet suf-
hcient room to accommodate all the
pupils, and in some localities il is nee
essary to restrict the children to half
day sessions.
The rapid increase in the attendance
in the schools has exceeded all eXpecta-
tions and is considered by the mem
bers Of the board TO be positive proof
that san Francisco will not only soon
be as large as il was previous to the
IRE, but will rapidly exceed in popu-
lstion what il has been at any pre-
Vious time in its history.
In the Mission district and at North
Beach the increase is the most marked.
The Mission Grammar School, in the
burned district on Mission street. be-
tween Fifteenth and Sixteenth, was
provided with six temporary rooms,
and il was believed that no more would
be needed until next season, but now
it is necessary TO double the size of the
building.
A similar experience was had with
the Franklin School, on EiShtn street,
also in the burned district. Its capacity
viii have TO be increased from six
rooms to twelve rooms.
Until more rooms can be provided
the Hancock School at North Beach
viii be able 10 accommodate only half
its pupils at a time. At present one
set Of classes holds a session in the
morning and the remainder take their
turn in the afternoon
The Directors declare that with an
appropriation Of $355,O0O less than last
year il is quite impossible for them
10 make ends meet" and they are
anxiously awaiting the action of the
Board Of Supervisors regarding their
request for S16O. 900 more money, that
they might have that much more
toward paying the teachers salaries.
When asked last night if the teach
ers would get their wages for vaca-
ton If the Supervisors fail to allow
the additional money requested from
them, Mr.. Walsh said:
No it will be quite impossible for
us to pay the teachers their full salaries
If We do not get more money. We
must protect the children first by pro-
viding them with school room. We would
Like TO pay the teachers what they ask.
but without the money we cannot
do it,"
The excuse offered by the board re-
garding a lack of funds is not affect
ing the teachers, however. for they are
continuing to prepare for legal bat
tie for their vacation salary. The re-
quest Of the Board of Education for
100000 more money is now in the
hands Of a committee of the Board Of
Supervisors.

"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

In reply to your letter I write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case of eczema, / resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely OF the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
In July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura Oint-
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weekc his
hands and arms healed up; SO we have
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are q valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.
