ALONG THE WATER FRONT
Narrow Escape of the Schooner
Western Home While Enter
ing Port.
STOCKTON STEAMERS DELAYED.
The Steam Schooner Scotia Will Enter
the Portland Rate War This
Week.
The schooner Western Home, which
arrived from Coos Bay last Thursday
nignt, had a very narrow escape as she
was passing in. Toward dusk the wind
fell light and the vessel drifted into the
bight between the Cliff House and Fort
Point. The captain let go one of his
anchors, but it would not hold. When
the schooner drifted into the breakers the
kedge was let go, and luckily it caught in
the rocky bottom. A few minutes later
the tug Reliance showed up and Captain
Silqvich offered to tow the schooner to a
place of safety. The skipper of the Western
Home wanted the job done for $25,"but the
captain of the tug wanted more.
No agreement could be reached, and the
schooner's crew dropped another anchor
and proceeded 10 warp the vessel out. A
slant of wind and the turn of the tide
helped them, ar.d after an hour's hard
work they got the Western Home out of
her dangerous predicament. Captain Silo
vich says he never saw a schooner have
such a narrow escape.
The steam schooner Alice Blanchard,
that has been running in opposition to
the Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany's steamers to Portland, is to have a
dangerous rival. The steam schooner
Scotia is to be put on the route, and she
will sail on the same days as the Alice
I Blanchard. On her way up the coast she
I will call at Humboldtand Coos Bay, and
■ the rates to all points will be cut. No one
i seems to know who the agents of the
I Scotia are, but merchants and shippers
I who claim to be well informed say that
j the rate on freight to Portland will be cut
to 50 cents a ton. Passengers will be car
ried at an equally low rate.
Some time aco it was rumored along the
front that the Southern Pacific was going
to put a steamer on the Portland route.
1 At the time J. C. Stubns, speaking for the
] corporation, said there was no truth in
i the rumor, but now it has been revived
j again with the advent of the Scotia.
Toe schooner Zampa, from Tacoma for
Guayruas, was compelled to put into this
port" yesterday. The patent screw by
which* the rudder is worked broke and dis
abled the vessel. A new one was put in
place and the Zampa proceeded to sea.
The Pacific Coast Steamship Company's
Corona will be laid off for a trip and the
Mexico will take her place on the San
Diego run. The Corona requires some
slight repairs to her new system of forced
draft. The same company's Gipsy, after
fifteen years of continuous" service, is to be
withdrawn after this trip. 'Old perpetual
motion," as she is called, is a3 good and
stanch a steamer as when new, but there is
nothing for her to do until the beet-sugar
factories are purchasing beets again. To
make up for the withdrawal of the Gipsy
the Coos Bay will make two trips a week —
leaving Tuesdays and Fridays.
Work is progressing rapidly on the
steamer Zealandia. When placed on the
drydock grass a foot long was found on her
bottom, but not a barnacle. It was all
spaded off and left the hull without a
jingle pit or mark on it. The sailing date
has been postponed to the 19th inst., and
that of the Aztec to the 20th inst.
All the Stockton river steamers were de
layed eight hours yesterday, and it was
12*30 r. m. before they got "to their docks.
The low state of the river and the heavy
fog was the cause of the delay.
IN THE LAND OF TOYS
Another Department Added to
An Extensive Dry Goods
Business.
Hale Bros. Secure More Store Room
to Accommodate Their Increasing
Patronage.
Christmas is coming. It did not need
sleigh-bells and tolly-berries to apprise
the people of this City of that fact yester
day. If the crowds which thronged the
streets with mysterious bundles and
charitable smiles did not betoken the
holiday season to the dullest observer the
scene about Hale Brothers' toy depart
ment certainly should have done so.
This department is a new departure for
this firm, but they are evidently doing it in
earnest while they are at it, for there are
drums enough in evidence to drive to
distraction all the nervous men in
Christendom ; there are whole colonies of
dolls of every race and nationality;
there are mechanical toys that can do
anything — even talk — and, in fact, every
thing that could possibly claim space on a
Christmas-tree.
"The addition of a toy department,"
said Marshall Hale to a Call reporter yes
terday, "was made possible by the acquisi
tion of new storeroom. The space occu-
pied by this department was previously
occupied by the Palm restaurant. The
failure of that concern made it possible
for us to enlarge our quarters, which were
greatly inadequate. Our counters have
daily been lined with customers. Many
have been obliged to leave the store be
cause there was no room for them at the
counters and this state of affairs has been
rapidly growing worse. Our business here
has increased wonderfully during the three
years of its business and it has been a
great problem with us how to manage it
within the conlined limits."
Mr. Hale then escorted the reporter
about the store. Every available inch was
utilized. Even the front part of the base
ment, where a good light was obtainable,
if utilized. Here there are dolls by the
hundreds. The books and much of the
fancy poods are kept here. In the rear of
the basement is the reseTve stock. Tne
amount of this is truly enormous. The
entire space is filled to the ceiling with
poods packed in the most compact form
possible. Everywhere in the space not
actually necessary for passage room are
cases of goods.
"The ucquisition of this new space," con
tinued Mr. Hale, "gives us a frontage of 90
feet with v depth of 165 fet;t, and our
numbers will now be 937-041-945 Market
street, the last number representing the
addition. We have connected the new
room with the main store by cutting
through arches.
"The toy department is merely to last
durinp the holidays. About January 1
we will stock this room with a new line of
dry goods. We may also handle cloaks,
although thia has not yet been decided
Upon. With our increasing facilities we
expect to be able to attend to the wishes of
ali customers."
The enterprise displayed by this firm
durinc an existence of a little over three
years in this Oitv is truly something re
markable. The focal branch is the latest
of the Hale Bros.' five great stores, yet al
ready it is recognized as one of the leading
houses of the City. It is the expressed in
teution of the firm to make still further

THE WHIST CONTEST.
The Oakland Club Wins the lteautiful
and Valuable Trophy Presented
by V. I». Ritleout.
A keen interest was manifested yester
day and last evening in the outcome of the
Pacific Coast Whist Association's tourna
ment at 326 Post street. In the after
noon 100 ladies and gentlemen sat around
the tables and in the evening 140 players
passed the hours In a sociable card rivalry.
There was a tie of 171 in the afternoon be
tween the teams of two of the San Fran
cisco clubs and the Petaluma club. The
San Francisco Club was represented by J.
Curtis and A. Moore and the Petaluma
Club by Mr. Faulkner and Mr. Towne.
Mrs." Guptill and Mrs. Moore of the
Eschscholtzia Club made lt>3 and with a
handicap allowance of 3 made them 171.
The highest team was composed of Mrs.
Henry Krt-bs and Mrs. A. C. Taylor of the
Trist Whist Club of San Francisco, who
made 170, which broke the record.
The four clubs for the semi-finals were
the Kan Francisco (gentlemen's) Club,
Oakland Whist Club, Saturday Night Club
and the Tamalpais Club. Tl:e Oakland
and Saturday Night clubs defeated the
other two and the final contest took place
in the morning at the Trist clubrooms on
Sutter and Mason streets.
While the final was being contested the
other wbist players, both local and visit
ors, assembled at 32tf Post street to the
number of 140, and played straight whist
for prizes until a late hour. Every half
hour the progress of the final game was
conveyed to the players by messenrers.ard
great enthusiasm was manifest whenever
a gain was made by one or die other side.
Over at the Trist clubrooms were about
a dozen people deeply absorbed in every
card that fell to the table. The personnel
of tlie Oakland Whist Club was E- F.
Palmer, J. D. Eby, A. F. Coffin and H. C.
Richards. That" of the Saturday Night

WILL FIGHT NO DUEL.
Carlo* Moutealegre Says That He Has
Sent No Challenge, M Reported
in an Evening Paper.
Carlos Monteale^re was reported in an
evening paper yesterday to have sent a
challenge to fight a duel to J. J. Jacobi of
the firm of Lachman & Jacobi, on account
of a dispute over the sale of a lot of wine
by the California Wine-Makers' Corpora
tion to Mr. Jacobi's firm.
It was said that after a hot pas?age of
words between the two getlemen when
they met for a settlement of the business,
Mr. Montealegre brooded over the matter
for a while and then sent a challenge to
Mi. Jacobi, asking him to name a p^ace,
time and weapons for wiping out the in
jury which the writer declared had been
done him.
It was stated that Mr. Jacobi sent a re
sponse in which he said tnat he would ac
cept the challenge providing the imple
ments were confined to bottles of wine,
Mr. Montealegre to drink his wine, and he
to drink Mr. Montealegre's.
Mr. Montealegre says that he was as
much surprised at the report as any one,
and that he had never sent any challenge
or thought of sending one. He could only
surmise that some of his friends were hav
ing a joke at his expense.

MISS JARVIE WEAKENS
Frank Meagher Regains the Cus
tody of Precious Family
Jewels.
A RESULT PLEASING TO ALL.
Young Briggs Positively Says They
Will Be Married When Feb
ruary Comes.
The Jarvie-Bripgs-Meagher controversy,
which was aired in Judge Angclotti's court
at San Rafael Friday morning, terminated
as such cases generally do— happily for all
parties concerned. After hurling defiance
at the court Miss Jarvie beat a precipitous
retreat, and before leaving San Kafael
turned over to the irate guardian of young
BriggS all the jewelry demanded.
Miss Jarvie and her fiance, young Briggs,
immediately returned to San Francisco.
So lightly did they treat the exciting
events of the day that they attended the
Tivoli Theater at night, where it was er
roneously reported that the defiant young
woman was engaged as a chorus girl. It
seems, according to the young lady's state
ment, that she never appeared at the Tiv
oli in any capacity whatever, except as a
spectator. She has, however, taken part
in such spectacular plays as the "Black
Crook."
Two years ago the young people met for
the first time at Gilroy Hot Springs.
Briggs immediately formed a violent at
tachment for Miss Jarvie, which was, in a
measure, reciprocated. A marriage could
'not take place, however, unless Frank
Meagher, the guardian of Briggs, pave his
consent. This he has positively refused
to do, and has endeavored to keep them
as much apart as possible. Brigtrs, as an
evidence of his sincerity for the youm
lady, opened a family treasure-box, then
in the custody of his guardian, an ,i taking
therefrom a watch valued at $400, and a
diamond ring worth nearly as much, pre
sented them to the object of his affection.
Meagher no sooner discovered this than
he made a formal demand on the young
I lady for the return of the jewelry. Miss
Jarvie wonld not listen to such a proposi
tion, and as she lived in San Francisco there
was nothing for Meagher to do but return
to San Rafael. Then a happy thought oc-
I currrd to the guardian. He would sue out
a writ requiring Miss Jarvie to show cause
why the should not return the property.
The result of his determination was seen
in Judge Angelotti's court Friday morn
ing when Miss Jarvie, attired in a neat
iitting gown and looking aa prim and as
! pretty as a picture, first hurled defiance at
! the court and then shed tear 3of vain anger.
i She told all sorts of stories about the jew
j eirv and innocently enough perjured ncr
; self a dozen times or more. The upshot of
jit all was that Miss Jarvie concluded it
j wiser to give up the jeweiry than to risk
the chance of imprisonment.
The little tilt between Guardian Meagher
and Miss Jarvie has only tended to
Guardian Frank P. Mcaghcr.
[From a photograph.]
strengthen the tie between the latter and
young Briggs. That young gentleman an
nounces as a positive fact that they will be
married as soon as he becomes of ace,
which will be in February next. Miss
Jarvie does not deny this, so the affair
may be considered as settled. The father
of the young woman said all this noto
riety would have been avoided if his ad
vice had been followed. He begged his
daughter to return the jewelry, but she
obstinately refused to follow hie wishes.
He supposed the young people would
marry some day, but until Briggs was of
age there was no occasion to engage in
speculation.
Kalnh Briggs is now a 6tudont at the
Cooper Medical Collect and said that
while at times he had been rather wild
had determined to quit all that and be
come an honor to his chosen profession.
He has two year 3 more at the college,
though he will not allow this to interfere
with his marriage in February next.
MISSION PARLOR SOCIAL.
The "One Time Entertainment Club"
and Native Daughters Hold a

The "One Time Entertainment Club" of
the Mission gave a literary and musical

beautiful silk flag to Mission Parlor.
Tlae ladies of the Native Daughters'
order gave a high jinks in the banquet
room, where refreshments were served to

dance.
YOUNG MEN'S LYCEUM.
The Members Debate on the Necessity of
Profit as an Incentive to luriustry.
The Young Men's Christian Association
Lyceum last evening debated the question:
"Resolved, That it is practicable for the ef
forts of the producer to be directed solely
toward supplying the demands of the con
sumer regardless of personal profit." A.
H. Sanborn led the argument for the af
firmative and J. F. Leicester championed
the negative side of the question. A vote
of the members was taken on the merits of
the debate, and victory was awarded to
the affirmative. After the decision a gen
eral discussion of the question was had.
FOR HOMELESS CHILDREN
A Dainty Bazaar Presided Over
by Seven Diminutive
Misses.
Successful Consummation of a Gener
ous Idea Whereby Charity Will
Reap a Benefit.
Seven little maidens heard of the hun
dreds of motherless children for whom
charitable people are trying to make a
home and of the scores who cannot be
cared for because of an absence of that
very elusive commodity called money, and
their hearts went out to the homeless
waifs. They decided that there must be
some way in which little girls could help,
so they put their heads together and
planned and planned. The result of their
deliberations was one of the prettiest little
bazaars imaginable.
When the idea of having a fair to help
the homeless orphans was broached by the
little ladies to their mammas of course there
was but one thing to do, and that was to
give a ready assent and plenty of encour
agement. Mrs. Adolph Son donated the
basement of her commodious residence at
2124 Broadway, and yesterday afternoon i
was the time determined upon for the fair. ;
Yesterday morning the little ladies were
as busy as butterflies. Mrs. Son and Miss
Son assisted with advice in the decora
tions, and as a result of taste, energy and j
an artistic arrangement of colored paper i
the rooms were transformed into a veri
table fairy bower. This effect was height
ened by the Hitting about in the subdued
light of the dainty little misses.
There was a snialladmission fee charged, j
but it was to tbe booths mainly that the j
little Indies looked for proceeds. And in j
this they were not disappointed. The j
first booth to the left on entering the main ;
room was occupied by Gertrude Joliffe,
who dispensed lemonade from behind a
gaily decorated counter.
Mabel Hoge and Florence Cole sold
fancy-work from a dainty-little bower j
draped with red. The candy booth was
decorated in yellow and gold, and here
Helen Son and* Vesta Shortridgfl dealt in
sweetmeat", to the edification of their
young patrons, and tne substantial ben
efit of charity. Blanche Son and Rosebud
Hecht had charge of the toy booth, which
was covered with a pink canopy.
The patrons of the bazaar commenced to
arrive shortly after 1 o'clock and the
rooms were well crowded until about 4.
Most of the visitors were little ones, who
patronized tlie booths right liberally, but
there were many older people who dropped
in during t!;e afternoon to gaze on the j
pretty scene and sample the wares on sale.

A BURGLAR AND A GIRL
Scared by Her Screams He Es
capes Through a Pantry
Window.
PARRISH RESIDENCE ENTERED.
Daring Attempt to Plunder a House
on Pierce Street in the Early
Morning.
The residence of Ellis 11. Parrish of the
Goodyear Rubber Company was entered
yesterday morning by a burglar, who man
i aged to make his escace through the pan- |
try window. Mr. Parrish and wife occupy !
the lower ilat at 703 Pierce street, near Mc-
Allister. The upper flat is occupied by M. ;
I). Stein, tbe superintendent of the Mar- j
ket-street Railroad Com puny.
Ahout 4 o'clock yesterday morning Mr.
Stein was awakened by a vigorous pound- j
ing on the rear door of his home. On
j opening the door- he was confronted by the j
| servant. girl employed by the Parrisnes. j
She was in a highly excited state and i
trembling with fear. After some difficulty, j
she told Mr. Stein that a burglar was rob- j
bing the house below, and that she had
fled upstairs to get away from him.
Mr. Stein immediately went downstairs,
where he met Mr. and Mrs. Parrish, who
had been awakened by the noise and con- ■
fusion. On inspection it was found that I
the man had gained an entrance through i
the pantry window by cutting away the
win screen. After carefully doing this the \
man reached inside and took each dish ;
down separately and laid it upon the walk.
After getting the dishes out of the way he
crawled inside, and, opening the door lead- I
ing into tne kitchen, groped his way in the j
; darkness. He had apparently put his j
! hand into seme 6ticny substance, for the ;
; walls showed his dirty fingermarks in a
: great many places as il he was feeling his j
way around.
Coming to a door he opened it and went !
inside, closing it after him. It proved to
! be the servant's room, and she was awak
| ened by him.
She immediately commenced screaming, j
and the man, finding that he was dis- :
j covered, turned about and started to make ,
his escape. He dashed out of the room!
and back into the pantry, locking the
door behind him and crawling through j
; the window by which he had entered and j
! made good bis escape. The girl kept up \
! her screamiug and ran to the door leading j
into the hall. Finding it locked she i
i rushed out the back way and up the stairs !
to the flat occupied by Mr. Stein.
Mr. Parrish, having been awakened by ;
the noise, came rushing out and heard the
man as he rattled the dishes in his hasty
liight through the pantry window.
After lighting the electric lights and go- I
I me over the tyuise to see if the burglar j
had taken anything he went out on the i
front porch. A policeman noticing the ;
commotion came up and questioned the j
girl, who said that she was positive that ■
she could identify the man if she ever set j
- eyes on him again. He wore a slouch hat '
and a shabby dark suit, and held a dark
: lantern in his* hand. The policeman said '■
: that he had noticed a man answering that >
; description hanging about the streets in j
that vicinity.
Mr. Parrish made a thorough inspec
; tion of the house, but could see that the

WOULD SHELL THE CITY.
An Intoxicated English Nobleman Who
Lost Money on an Actress Makes
Dire Threat*.
San Francisco's stock of foreign nobility
has been strengthened in the person of a
son of an English marquis.
The name of this foreign nobleman, as
far as could be ascertained last night,
trusting to a police-station docket as
authority, was N. Feldman, but that he
was an Englishman there could be no
doubt from the accent which enveloped
his speech.
Feldman arrived in this City from
New Orleans last Thursday and after a
day's rest started out to see the town,
finally winding up in a Kearny-street re
sort. He made the acquaintance of Miss
Eva Starr, a variety actress, and spent
money lavishly upon her.
In the course of a few hours Feldraan
had spent about $,50 and was laboring
under a severe attack of alcoholism, so he
took a wise view of things and went to
bed. But when lie woke up yesterday
morning he discsve-red that he was minus
a gold watch, valued at $200, and a purse
winch he alleges contained about $100 in
coin and a few trinkets.
A warrant was immediately sworn out
by the nobleman, and the young actress
| with whom iie had been in company was
j placed under arrest and lodged in theCali
i fornia-street station.
In making his departure from the sta
j tion Feldman turned haughtily to the po
lice sergeant at the desk.
"If you bloomin' boobies don't give me
satisfaction out of this case I will report
it to the captain of a British man-of-war,
which will soon arrive in this harbor,"
; said he. "And when he finds out that I
! am telling the truth he will shell this 'ere
| bloomin 1 City and blow it off the bloody
1 earth."
He was immediately informed that if he
did not make a hasty exit he would be
placed in the cell next to his lady friend
on a ci.arge of "drunk."
He took the advice and made his depart
ure without waiting to take surveys of San
Francisco for a shelling.
REPUBLICANS BANCIUET.
After a Business Session the Forty-
Third District Club Meets Round
the Festal Board.
The meeting of the Forty-third District
republican Club, held last night at the
Parker House, corner of Stockton and
Geary streets, was largely attended. Over
a hundred new members signed the ciub
roll. As advertised at the meeting last
Saturday evening a collation was served in
the Parker House cafe, which lasted until
early this morning.
A number of toasts were proposed and
responded to by many prominent Repub
licans.
The club passed a resolution ordering
a canvass to be made of the district so that
the entire Republican vote should be polled
at the next primary to the end that the
best interests of the party be properly rep
resented^ and none but the best citizens
elected as delegates to the next convention
from this district.
The club is negotiating for perma
nent headquarters to be used during
the ensuing campaign, and it is the
earnest desire of the officers of the club to
have a full meeting next Saturday even
ing at the Parker House, when the ques
tion will be thoroughly debated, "Who is
the best and most available Republican
candidate for President in 1896?"
