12 NOW LET THE HATS COME OFF Bad Shows Need them, but Gocd Ones Can Do With out Them. ROTmZI TAKES IT AS PERSONAL. The Supervisor Intends to See to It That the Law Is Obeyed. DREAMS SOMETIMES JIGBTJARES. Sweet Confections That Are Con ducive to Varied Assortments of Profanity. "What's that! H'gh hats worn at tbe theaters again? Wall, I'll just attend to that myself." - Dr. Rottanzi'a bot southern blood boils at the affront. lt is a personal matter with the doctor. It was his brain that brought forth the ordinance and his force that sent it through to passage. If Manager Hayman thinks lie can defy the majesty of the Jaw with impunity he will find that the work of the Supervisor from tha Seventh Ward did not end when the bill became a law. Dr. Rottanzi went to hear and see the Italian opera last night. Fes i by t c might have heard it, but so tar as see ing it is concerned that is another story. There were others there, and some of those others were ladie-. who wore beau tiful rireams and artistic confections on their heads. Because of the dreams and confections the doctor cau Id not see or hear the opera. Not because he was behind a hat, but be cause he went to look or hats. In fact, the irritation caused by tb» affront of flaunting hats raised that in his breast which tne music, even though at times it soothes the savage, could not lull to rest. Consequently, Dr. Rottanz is going to make the high-hat nuisance, which has again become prevalent at thf California and Baldwin theaters, a ters^tiai matter. He intends to see to it that the ordinance shall be enforced or he wiil know the reason why. And there are others. Hats that are dreams when on the streets become night mares when perched on dainty beads be tween tbe stage of a tneater and the man who has expended $1 50 for a seat, expect ing to see a play. It's bad enough to hay- to pay the mil liner's bill for your wife's dream without getting a stiff neck trying to look around somebody else's nightmare. At least lout is the way a married man talked about it yesterday. He had been a victim at the opera, and was still chafing. One theatrical manager, at whose house the law is strictly complied witD, said there wss no trouble about getting the ladies to remove their hats. People went to see the show, and not a millinery ex hibit. Ii it's a good show the managers want it seen. Of course if the show's bad, it's a good thing tor the theater if the la aies wear hats. It gives people someliing to be profane over and takes their attention from the stage. Thus the had play, poor actor**- j and negligent manager get iff light while the hats save the show and make ' vicarious atonement for the sins ot | others. Take, for instance, some of the freak I shows that Frohman has been trying io palm off on Pan Francisco audiences as the genuine article. Those dreams and confections are all that saved them from open violence. It is but natural that the ordinance isn't enforceu in some theaters. They need the side attraction at times to draw off adverse criticisms. BARNES-KANE QUARREL. The General Announces His Withdrawal in a Sting ins: Letter. Secretary Kane Declines to Eeply, but Is Not Yet Done With Prederickson. The Barnes-Kane controversy over the case of Mrs. Louis Frederickson, that had the appearance of assuming alarming proportions, is off. It was expected that the ".lefi" of Sec retary Kane, coupled with the charge that the general did not possess the gilt of humanity, would have brought forth something startling from him In reply. A The reply came yesterday morning and, although it is tinped with gall and sar casm, it is not in keeping with tlie vigor and dash displayed in tlie general's former communication. It is as follows: Frank .1.

Yours truly) W. H. L. Barnes. ' In speaking ofthe letter Secretary Kane said yesterday : "I will not reply to it as it is not worth noticing. J will find that man Frederickson, however, ii 1 can, and arrest him lor la ling to provide for his wife and child. Then the general will have the opportunity of carrying into ef fect his threat to furnish him bail and defend him to the b'-st of his ability." Suit on it Kill.

INDIAN POT PIE FOR SIX Involuntary Cannibalism on the Fart of Several San Diegans. DUCK OF THE mm (JEMS. Trouble Brought About Through tbe Kindness of a Friend. THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD VEJHSOX. Mummified Eedskin Served Up in a fricassee at a feas'.. There are six very much disgusted and angry men in Ban Diego who are cannibals through a moat natural and somewhat laughable mistake. And there is a physi cian at present in Mendocino County who ; has scented trouble frnm afar and will in consequence not return 10 that city until it has blown over. Emile J. Brunmer of San Diego owns a very large and handsome cabinet, in which he has collected a number of rare specimens of Indian pottery and stone work, tins line of curios being bis special hobby. Not long since Dr. Harvey Griffin of New York, a friend ot Mr. Brunmer, came to California and settled in San Diego, subsequently taking a run up into the mountains of Mendocino lor his health. During his wanderings over tue country lie came into possesion of a piece of mummified Indian, and thinking it a de sirable Requisition to the cabinet oi his ' friend, Mr. Brunmer, rolled it un in a piece of newspaper and mailed it to that gen tleman, intending at the same time to write a letier and extol the value of the specimen sent. But taroug.'i some mistake the pnekag:- | went its way and the letter .lid not, a. , least, not until the tiece of Indian had got a day's start. When it readied its destination it was too late to save the specimen. Mi. Brunmer is extremely lond of dried venison. When he received the package ol dark meat fo tied Carefully in a news paper he naturally jumped to the con clusion that Dr. Griffin had kindly re membered that fondness and had sent him a chunk. Now, Mr. Brimmer is a cook of no mean ability, tliereiore heat once set to work to cook up the piece of buck — a piece of buck of the wrong genus how ever — and with commendable generosity invited in five cronies to share the feast with him. The supposed venison was chopped up fine, nutter, salt and pepper were added, ; and in one short hour a smoking dish of human flesh was served up to the six men hungry lor deer. They finished their meal and departed satisfied. But scarcely two hours had i passed wben Mr. Brunmer received a letter • lrom Dr. Griffin, in wnich there was an allusion to "that piece of mummified Indian." The doctor in a letter to a San Fran cisco friend says that he is in receipt of a letter from .Mr. Brunmer, but that there are portions of it that he cannot repeal. Kurtner, that the smell of brimstone is quite noticeable emanating lrom the : epistle. But Dr. Griffin writes that his * friend did not state whether the -'veni son" tasted good or not. . i ===== j New Divorce (Suit*..

Theater Folk, Scenes and Incidents at the Oceanic j Dock When the Alameda . • ! Sailed Away. Active men of affairs, dames of dignity and self-possession, dandy girls and willie boys were massed on the wharf of the Oceanic Steamship Company at 2 o'clock yesterday of.ernoon to salute th* voy- | agers aboad the ship Alameda, then cast- j ing away for a trip to Hawaii and Aus- j tralia. Manager Frawley's stars of the Columbia constellation and Uncle George | Bromley, the mascot of the combination, j were the principal figures of attraction. The leave-taking was animated and pic uresque. When tue small trunks, ! hand-baggage and th-> great aggregation of chrysanthemum bouquets were depos- ; ited safely aboard the good ship the fair j passengers, displaying in ample profusion the flowery compliments from lriends on ; shore, ranged themselves along the rail j and exchanged good-bys. Uncle George Bromley received a great "send-off" from his friends of the Bohe- i mian Club. He was detained long at the gang plank to shake hands with the ladies j Uncle George Bromley and the Frawley Company Leaving fcr Hono!u u. who had been aboard and missed him. Manager Frawley and Miss Blanche Bates likewise received many salutations from the stage fraternity and others. When the steamer slowly swung away from her mooring two thousand people on the dock signaled good wishes to those on board. One belated passenger afforded much amusement for the throng, but there was nothing in the incident to promote- his per-onal comlort.- He reached the wharf after the ship's gangplank had teen hauled away and saw. but a slender chance of getting aboard. Frank Worthing threw bim a small line, but the tardy passenger did not grasp it - Hi wanted a surer thing, and while he was meditating some one shoved his. -handbag through' the nearest porthole. Then the passenger de cided to stay with the -ship and nis bag gage, and co with the help of those on shore he was propelled through the port hole himself. * Willing hands aboard tie ship helped to pull him through. As he was a man of considerable girth, there was doubt whether lie could be squeezed through the operture, but a vigorous kicking anu active motion of his own legs assist J and he went through safely. His success was hailed by cheeis from the passengers on the ship at.d tie throng ashore. 888998 Tlie Columbia Theater Company never appeared before a lnreer assemblage, and the fine steamship Alameda never sailed from any port on a fairer day and under more cheering .auspices. "Won't Uncle George have a lovely time with the bright girls of the Frawley Company?" was a remark of one of the Columb a messen gers as the ship sailed away. DEATH RATHER THAN ADVERSITY Dr. F. de Kiedizycki Takes Poison in the Vienna Cafe. He Was Hurried to the Receiv ing Hospital and His Life Was Saved, Financial Embarrassment Believed to Have Caused the Attempt at Self-Destruction. Dr. F. de Kiedizycki, a physician who is believed to have lately hailed from Cuba, attempted to end his life in the Vienna Cafe, 205 Kearny street, last evening. He entered the cafe and called for a glass of hot milk, It was given him, and a lew minutes later he fell to the lloor in con vulsions. It was immediately seen that he had taken poison, and the patrol wagon was summoned. He was removed to the Receiving Hospital and an antidote was administered. He soon recovered suflicienty to sneak and said that he had taken twenty grains of strychnine and ten grains of morphine. The physicians at the hospital did not ac cept his story as correct, however, as the amount of poison alleged to have been taken was sufficient to have killed a dozen men. That the physician look noisnn, however, there was no doubt, but It must have been in an insufficient quan tity to produce death. The would be suicide Is a young and well-dressed man. Just who he is and what are his connections remain a mys tery. The cause that prompted him to attempt nis l.fe is also unknown. He wili make no statement other than admitting that he took the poison, and -Alien spoken to turns away anil retains his silence. It 1- believed that shortly after vis ar rival in this city ne beoame financially embarrassed, and being unable to recoup a probable lost fortune became despond ent and decided 10 die. Not having thr moral courage to die alone, be sought a pub ie place, ordered the milk, placed Within it the poison and swallowed the draught of death. Cuprum's Physical Condition. In Judge Coffey's court yesterday Mrs. Hat tic M. Kearney, one of the leading witnesses in the John S. Capron will contest, was called on to give an account of her family connec tions in Utah. She said that while visiting Salt Lake she often met her relatives there and knew that nono of them were polygam ists. Capron's mental peculiarities were de scribed nt length.

Well-Known Medicos May Be Ar raigned for Sinning Against iht Ethics of the Profess. on. Dr. d'Evelyn may rejoice to know that the committee on ethics of the San Fran cisco County Medical Society did consider his case, but judging from an article which appeared inthe editorial depart ment of the November number of the Pacific Medical Journal Dr. d'Evelyn is t not the only sinner in the medical pro- j fession of this town. As a matter of observation it may be mentioned that an editorial expression of I the Journal should carry weight, for be it i known that the medical paper has an j editor and proprietor, a. managing editor, i an associate editor and twenty-six collabo rators.

They have long flaunted ; t cir usages and their virtues in the face of the public, and feit secure in a mo- i nopoly which no. member of the regu.ar profession would dare infringe upon. But ' Herod has been outdone." Alter deplor ing the conduct ot doctors wno had been regarded as the Nestors of the medical j profession, the leader pronounces an ulti- ; malum in. this masterful style: "Either j these oxytuberculin and equisine methods j must be -stopped, or the medical prole - sionof California stands disgraced in the eyes of the medical world."
