IN THE THEATRES
POLI'S

Make Gt a point to see the fine bill either this evening, or at one of the lent show which has been amply enter taining big audiences all this week long. You won't find a much better program If you travel the country over, and certainly not for. the small price charged If you don't believe one of the thousands who have at tended the theatre this week, and abide by their decision
 And when you have seen this bill. you will surely want to see that for the coming week. which will be even more enjoyable, if such could be the case. The headliner for next week will be the wonedrful Palace Girls a beaut- iful singing and dancing number. in which will be seen eight of the pretti- est girls on the stage, together with Arthur Clemens. a quaint and clever dancer, who will fill in the time be- tween the numerous and extensive changes of magnificent costumes which the girls are required to make. This is what is called an English Pony act, and will be the equal of anything ever shown in this city in conjunction with the musical comedy. Mrs eCiem- which will be sure to call forth the approval of the audiences, and the act is sure to go in great shape.
 Another great act which is sure to
  the unrivalled Gasch Sisters. an aero batic pair which has created a tre- mendous sensation all over the coun- try, as well as in Europe, where the girls belong. They will give one of the most refined exhibitions of hand balancing ever shown. and their suc- cess in conjunction with the remainder cf the excellent bill is absolutely cer- tain
 A special added feature for the com ing week will be Violet Black and her company. presenting Edgar Allen wollf's latest comedy sketch. "In the Subway" This little playlet will ela- borateiy staged. and in it Miss Black has achieved complete and most sat- isfying success favorably known, will be heard in one of the classiest selections of popular songs, which will afford everyone ann pie opportunity to judge of and en- joy their excellent singing. This quar- tette has become one of the most well exceptionally good work. and their coming next week. will be a source of pleasure to everyone who likes to hear good singing.
 Frank Wilson. undoubtedly one of the cleverest single wheel trick riders in vaudeville. will be seen in one of his incomparable exhibitions.
 Jarrow, the humorous trickster." will entertain with the latest sensa- tion in slight of hand. and Thurber & Madison will present a novel singing and talking act, which will be found very pleasing.
 As a whole. there could not be a better or stronger bill presented. and it is anticipated that the seating ca- pacity of the theatre will be sorely taxed all during the week. both after moons and evenings.

Unusual Question
 Up to Judge NObbs

Judge Nobbs took under considera- ton an unusual question brought up in the Probate court at a hearing late yesterday on the estate of the late Patrick Hickey. who died seven months ago leaving property in this city and in Bristol valued at upwards of s5.oO0. Edward Hickey. a brother of the deceased sought a conveyance of part of the estate consisting of real estate in Bristol. which he said he had deeded to his brother 37 years ago for use during the latter's life. Attorney J. H. O'Rourke raised the claim that inasmuch as the question was one of title to the real estate it is not prop erly within the Jurisdiction of the pro- bate court. Judge W. H. Comley ap- peared for the widow. and Attorney J. J. Cullinan for the brother.

A Cork Fuller

In common slang parlance this arrangement would hesa "corker,'' but literally and practically it is the best un- corker ever invented. Itzis not a screw and it works as quickly and easily as magic. Corks that are driven in and cut off even with the neck of the bottle come out with out coaxing, no matter how large or small, and they are not broken or injured.

st. Ignatius college has joined the
Catholic Schools athletic league. The
Jesuit college had been contemplating
the move for some time, but the fac
uIty athletic managers were slow to
take the final steps toward amalgamat-
ing with the organization, which in
cludes practically every school and col
lege in the bay cities.
A report to the effect that St lgna-
titus college had Joined the league,
which appeared in a local newspaper
some two weeks ago, proved to be

OF the college was not taken until last
Saturday when the entry blank bear

of the Catholic athletic forces of the

experiment had proved itself to be
more than mere experiment.. But
the league has emphatically made good,
and now includes among it's affiliated
schools every Catholic educational in
stitution in the bay cities whose sup
port is worth having.
Now that st. Ignatius college is en-
rolled in the league. the prospects of
the organization are brighter than ever.
The big meet of October 10 is already
an assured success, owing to the in
terest and energy displayed by the
local parochial schools. With that par
ticular athletic carnival the Catholic
colleges like st. Mary's and St Igna-
thus have but little to do, but a pro-
posed meet to be held in November for
academic or high school pupils only
will bring out the best material among
the junior students of st. Mary's Santa
Clara St. 1gnatius, Sacred Heart and
ST. Joseph's academy.
It is very likely that ST. Ignatius
college will be represented in the big
parade of athletes with which the paro-
chial school meet of October Is will
begin. Representatives of Sacred Heart
college and st. Marys will be in line.
Santa Clara college may not be repre-
sented owing to the distance of the
college from San Francisco.
ST. 1gnatius college is now entitled
to two representatives on the board of
directors of the Catholic Schools ath-
letic league and will, accordingly, take
part in framing the details to govern

WEIGHING CONCERN
GIVEN HARD BLOW
Federal Court Rules Against
Commercial Union Company

The Commercial union assurance
company of London, England, one of
the "welching" insurance companies
following the disaster, received an
other hard blow yesterday when the
United States circuit court of appeals
denied a rehearing in the case brought
against it by the Richmond coal COM
pany.
In this case the coal company asked
for the insurance on a large quantity
of coal piled at Howard and Spear
streets and which was burned in the
fire of April, 1906. The insurance COM
pany claimed to be exempt on the
ground that its policy contained an
earthquake clause which left 1t i'm
mune from such disasters. The coal
company maintained that the fire was
not caused by the earthquake, but by
fires from adjacent buildings. The ease
was tried first before Judge Van Fleet,
who instructed the jury to the effect
that the proximate cause was the
earthquake, against which the policy
had ample provision. The jury re-
turned a verdict against the coal COM
pany on these instructions.
The case was appealed and Judges
Ross and Morrow of the United States
circuit court of appeals held against
Judge Van Fleet in his instructions
to the jury, stating that when prop
erty was destroyed by fire the invest-
cation ceased at it's immediate cause
and the court had no right to trace it
back to its original inception. The in
surance company applied for rehear-
ing and this was denied it.
