Colorado Wyoming, California,
Texas and Louisiana.
Every little $4,000 stock company
which ever thought that it had an oil

 Testify on Stanford White.

Caught in Cohen's Saloon on Court Street, a Stones Throw from Police
 Station.
SHOT AT BY OFFICER CARTON
Veteran of Spanish War. He Declares He Never Would Have Been Caught if He Had Had
 Double-Shooter.

Caught right in the act of burglar izing the saloon of Thomas Cohen on Court street, near Music hall, about o'clock this morning, and with $5 on his person which, 1t is claimed by the police he had obtained from the cash drawer in the saloon, William A. Tryon of 134 Park street, was arrested and is held for court this morning.
 Officer Carton, who has the Court street beat, was passing the saloon on his way to headquarters to report, just before 1 o'clock. and was trying all the doors on his way. When he came to Cohens place he thought he saw a man lying on his back behind the counter and working at the cash drawer.
 Not certain which way the man would go when he found he was discov. cred, Carton telephoned headquarters for aid before attempting the arrest, keeping the man covered in the mean while. Officers Maloney and Lauten- bach were sent right down to help out
  and with these two guarding the front door, Carton made his way to the rear and smashing light of glass in the rear door scraped into the place, tear ing his uniform in SO doing.
 When Tryon found himself cornered he retreated with his back to the wal and attempted to find some way tc escape, The officers chased him into corner, and Carton fired at the mar and narrowly missed hitting him, The man was finally captured without ser ious resistance, realizing that 1t would do no good At tho same time he tolt Carton that he had been a soldier ir the Spanish war and if he had { double shooter with him they would never have caught him, as he would show them which was the best sho there
 Tryon Is a man 36 years of age When taken to police headquarters h, had on his person the 8 taken non the saloon. The proprietor was sum moncd and upon investigation fount 1 the sum missing from his cash drawer | It seems certain Shat If the police hat not arrived as timely as did Cartoi l the man would have added anothe successful night burglary in the cen ter to the list which has been keep ing the police busy of late.
 Maloney was hit in the head with piece of glass in the set-to. He wa not seriously cut. however.

Leads New Years ,Iolllfication in the
 Tombs.

New York. Jan. l.The Tombs prison rule that all prisoners be up at I a. m. was relaxed to-day. Many of the pris- oners succeeded in getting horns. and they saluted the New Year with all the noise they could produce. Those who had no hornl joined in the din by rat ting their tin cups and plates together or beating tin pans.
 In murderers' row Harry Thaw led the jolliiication, footing vigorously on a tin horn. While the celebration was not sanctioned by the commissioner of correction, there was no attempt ia stop it, and the prisoners were allowed to celebrate" to their hearts content.
 Thaw received hundreds of New Year cards to-day. Many were from persons who are straneefs to him, but all wish ed him a Happy New Year" and sue cess in his trial, which begins on Mon day.
 We know you'll be acquitted" wrote some. We hope you'll be set free said others.

SERGEANT EXAM OFF
Indefinite Postponemcnt Announced
 by Civil Service Board.

Announcement is made that the ex- animation which was to be held by the civil service board for eligibles for police sergeants to-day has been post poned without date. The examination was asked for early in November by the board of police commissioners and it had been originally intended to hold it on November 20 prior to the exam ination for captains. The order was changed, and after the examination for captains the date of January 2 was set.
 At the meeting of the police com missioners when Sergeant Dunn was promoted to the captaincy of the de- tective bureau, Owen Marlowe was also appointed a sergeant so that the immediate need of an examination was done away with.
 It is said that the examination may be held later, but it is very indefinite.

OVATION TO MAILER
First Appearance as Conductor at the Metropolitan Sets New Standard.

New York, Jan. 1.-Gastav Mahler, director of the Royal Opera House in Vienna, made his first appearance as conductor in this country tonight in Richard Wagner's music drama Iris tan and Isolde" at the Metropolitan opera house. The ovation accorded Mahler for his masterful direction of the love tragedy by a critical throng that came to listen and to pass judg- ment on the man who has made a standard of opera in Vienna that is unexcelled in the musical world, has never been exceeded at the Metropol- tan. From the moment that the long Ing love motif of the opera began to unfold itself in the prelude until the curtain fell with the "Liebestodt" in the last act, the audience was held spell bound by the genius of Mahler, who not only kept the orchestra under absolute control, but whose spirit dom> mated the singers and the stage direc- tion as we'll Mahler was given curtain call after curtain call and many were the predictions that a new era of Wag- merriam and Mozart opera was dawnine with the new year at the Metropolitan opera house.

Olive Fremstadt made her de but tonight as Isolde and her inter pretation of the role of the Ufurisf princess while not altogether follow ing the accustomed Wagnerian con. ventions, was accredited success Heinrich Knote was the Tristan whicl he sang with a depth of appreciation which has won him commendation il the Munich opera.
