Known Here and in Santa Cruz, and Son-in-Law of Captain Berminrham. ■. . . Frank P. Pray, late of Denver, Colo., but formerly a well-known resident of San Francis.o and of Santa Ctuz, his early Lome, died at noon yesterday at the resi . der.ce of his father-in-law, Captain John . . Bertaingham. 711 Chestnut street, of peri .'■'ton t: _i, resulting from a long, heroic and . critical surgical operation to which he sub . milled on Monday last. Mr. Pray was born in Boston, Mas*., and at the time of his death was a little over '.'■ 4U years of age. "When a mere child be came wu!> his parents io California in the '.r.riy 'OO's and v..n them settled in Santa C'n.z, where his aged mother still resides. For a number of ears he was connected with the B:t:icr_f- Pub i3h!ng Company in • -this c.ty. Liter h» was in 1 lie stationery • _nsin.*-s Here with Z U.

Sub . fcf qitently, lor many years, he was a real- \ estate agent, with ollices at 310 Pine street. tTwo years and a half ago, however, he became afflicted with appendicitis and was operand upon in this city. His recovery • was slow and never complete, He closed out his real estate i usiness and, as soon as be was able, moved to Denver, where. '••for the pa.t wo years, l.c was agent for ih.e California Powder YVorKS. * Several weeks a_o he returned here in the hope of recuperating from the weak . ening effect of a large wound that had i ever healed after it was first made by ihe surgeon's knife.

As it was. the men were brought back to consciousness by an hour's hard work, bin if oxygen had been plentiful the reaction of the poisonous gas would not have been so painful to the victims. In cases of asphyxiation, morphine poi soning or a dangerous condition of pa tients taken to the hospital from the loss of blocd, the attenaiiie physicians are almost entirely left to their own re- Si trees and cannot depend upon mo tern methods of restoring patients. Dr. Weil said last evening: "It is often the ct.se that we are left without oxygen in the hospital. For the past three days the oxygen lank' has been empty, but we had it sent to le filled yesterday. It is often impossible to restore patten..suffer ing irom asphyxiation w thout the aid of oxygen, and had we receive, I a liar, l case during the * as*, few days we would have been ccmp-lied to resort to artificial res piration only. "This form of treatment is not always successful, but it often is. It i- also necessary that we should have an electric battery in good workin order, for it is exceedingly useful in cases of morphine poisoning; but the battery we have on ban i has been out of order for week-. '.'The City Receiving Hospital is not up to date. There are many things which should be provided by the city which have iv ver been provided. Where a patient is wetiK from loss of blood we should have ins'iumenis for pumping sterilized salts into i tie veins to strengthen their anion and attempt to stop the exhausting flo . In fact we are behind the times." There is but one tank for oxygen at the hospital and when ii is emptied i, is neces sary for the attending physicians to wi it until it can be refilled. This lack of a necessary article to a hospital has not yet proved directly fatal, but the time may come when it is absolutely necessary and will be found to b- wanting. BETTER ITALIAN OPERA The Company at the California Theater Improved Last Right. Two New Singers and Some Others Do Creditable Work in the "Masked Ball/ Last ni.ht at the California Theater there was less audience and less wild ap nlau-e than the night previous; also there was an immeasurably belter performance on the stage. If the Italian company can maintain the pace of last night's "Masked Ball" there is no reason why, in time, wo shoul : not forgive and forget the "Giocondu" fiasco. There was not much In the singing of 'The Masked Ball" to re call it. Cioni, who is said to be the crack barytone of the company, \va< again ill, ami Francesconi again essayed his part. There is considerable good singing to be induced from the right man by the music of Rueinhart, to say nothing of the snares for live acting that beset this strong character of the betrayed husband; but I fear Francesconi is not the rieht man. His voice, which sounds as if it ru it-lit have been a decent one before he acquired the art of tremoloing several keys ci one time, is now beyona his control, and his acting, I should say, has yet to mate its first appearance on any stace. He lost us one of the big roles of the opera. Then there was the trio in the first act. sung* b.* Amelia, Clricba and Richard; this slipped the key several times and finally went a.l to pieces. Beyond this the family resemblance between the sec ond and hrst nights of the season was not -iron.'. Beatrice Franco, who enac.ed the woeful contralto mother in 'Gioconda," was much easier and surer in the part of the fortune-teller, and a new singer. Mile. C. Vie m. was not bumptious about it even if she was somewhat inadequate to the songful music of the page. The real surprises ot th" night, bow ever, were supplie". by Montauari. the -oprano, and Colienz, the tenor. Vallini and his orchestra would also have been amazine n we had not found out tbe.r quality Tuesday night n spite of the cast. As it war. they con firmed the fir*-' ver dict, and to say that Vallini is the Kohi nuor of the company is not necessarily a reflection on tne singers, even though a score of Montana is. Colienzes and Ag- j nostinis are conceaWd in their ranks. Mon l a ari and Collenzare to be praised; even better man that— they are worth a moment of serious criticism. The part of Amelia, especial in the second act, is not one of sweet soprano in dolence. It ask 3 industry, fervor, grit and absolute vocal security. The aria that Ame ia singi as she walks tho execution ground which for politic il reasons Verdi's librettist was compelled to locate in the suburDs of colo nial lios on, Mass., in search of the magic herb that will cure be of her illicit pas sion for R. chard the Governor, require the best points of the Italian school of singing. It clamors for theatrical decla mation, perfect cantabile and many of the nuances of expression and facility that lie between. And while there were times when Mon tanari's tone wavcre 1 sightly and com pelled one to think of the mechanical functions of sinking, yet for the most part sue played and sang so as to bring out the happiest values of the song. And in the big duet with Ricnard. which follows, she wa-ines | oten Jy and realized the sig nificance of the scene. Ol.enz's Richard was less dramatic vo cally, but it was stirringly acted. Col lenz's voice is full of good notes. His fortissimo upper tones are legitimate and sympathetic, and he is very facile in bringing out the flashes of humor lhat illuminate the musical character of Rich ard. His mezzo voce is not always beauti ful and definite, but taken alt gather he is io be prize I. Taking the performance altogether, it was (-ratifying enough for us to anticipate with" lighter hearts the four weeks to come. Asiiton Stevens. THE EL CAPITAN. The American ship El Capitnn, from Baltimore for San Francisco, is having very hard luck. On July 26 last she put into Mcn.evideo leaking and had to dis charge part of her cargo for repairs. After an overhauling she sailed again, but has again been compelled 10 put back to Mon tevideo. She was caught in a very he.ivy gale, three ol ihe crew were washed over board and the vessel was considerably damaged. It will be another mouth be fore she is again ab!e to proceed. Captain Funcke of the -ealing schooner Golden Fleece and eight of his men have hud an experience of what life in a Rus sian prison is like. They missed their v-*sel in a fog and after much privation reached Petropaulov.ki. There the Ru - sian authorities accused them of being 1. -hers and put them to work in a quarry. The British cruiser Daphne came along and to her captain the i-ealers ap pealed. On his laving the matter before 1 !i" Russian Governor the men were re leased nnd the Daphne took them to Yokohama.

Hf____l FROSTY FOR THE FAVORITES Ladies' Day Always Seemed a " Hoodoo " for the Choices. St, Calatine Defeated Napamax for the San Francisco Stake. / .. ... Piggott, on Joe Terry, Downed Her manita in a Hard Drive— Governor Budd Took the Hurdle Event. If fortune frowns on the weak, it most assuredly smiles on the fair and the brave, for "ladies' day" at Inglesude track yes terday was the ileal one of the meeting. The weather was warm and balmy and the track groomed especially for the occa sion. The fair sex filled the grand stand, and the racing was just uncertain enough to make it exciting. The "old puara" of course stayed wit i the favorites, and as but two of them won and the gallery banked on the outside s, there was more or less cause for frequent outbursts of en thusiasm from tho gallery. Disaster was prophesied for the choices when News Gatherer rolled in at odds of 20 to lin the opening mile dash. Partha max went to the post a 9 to 10 choice, but the Eastern horse to ik the lead at the first turn, and was never headed, lasting long enough to beat tho first choice out a neck in 1:41%. Lost Girl, heavily played, was a good* tuird. Dr. Powell's Satsttma opened an 8 to 5 favorite for the six furlong dash that fol lowed, but a warm tip circulated on Lone Princess forcing her odos from 4 to 2, Caused the chestnut horse's price to recede a point. The Princess showed the way to the stretch, where she cotlapsed. Satsuma then came ou from fourth position and downed Dunboy less than a length in 1:14%. Double Quick finished in the show. JSfKS Tea Rose, the sweet little Midlothian m re, iooled both her trainers ard the public by her showing in the seven-fur long run. Not supposed to be up to very much so soon after a long trip on the cars, she -allied out in front, stepped the first live fur ongs in 1:00 flat and won eased up in 1 :_Bl_. Grady, the second choic., fin ished lour lengths in front of Ostler Joe, the even money favorite. The winner closed at 4 to 1 in tbe belting. J tie Eastern contingent played Captain Pier for a "pipe" in the hurdle event over one and a quarter miles, and it now has the tickets. . The b:ack horse was backed from 8 to 5 down to 9 to 10 and in a drive was downed two lengths by the 8 to 1 chance, Governor Budd, ridden in a perfect manner by Martiuus, probably the best timber-topper in the country. Viking, the second choice, was third. It will dawn on race-goers ere long that Si. Calatine is a rare good filly. She an nexed ihe $1200 San Francisco stake ior two-year-old lilies at six furlongsin fault less fashion, '.tie third stake this year for the daughter of St. Carlo. Napamax was a pronounced even money choice, but away "one too well and slovenly piloted by 0 1) dinell did not get up in time and fini-hed a length behind St. Calatine, which young miss made the running from the jump. The good price of 3to 1 was obtainable against. the winner. The last race over a mile lurnished the most exciting finish of the afternoon. In a furious d rive Joe Piirgott on the 7 to 5 favoriie, Joe Terry, fairly outrode little Clawson astride the second choice, Her nianita, and earned the decision by a nose. McLght, played for a "killing," was third. TRACK ITEMS. The Call's innovation of furnishing the public with -the results of the races as soon as run was tried for the first time yesterday with flattering results.
