] > ! < > } ril 3Irn.
For a few tntniU > a Monday afternoon , at
the committee of the whole meeting of the
city council , It looked M If another Investi
gation of a public official were to be sprang.
The Individual who WM regarded a the
pomlble victim was Police Judge Gordon.
The danger was averted for the time being ,
but tlll remains In the air.
The matter arose over the resolutions
Bent to the council by the Bcnrd of Fire
nnd Police Commissioners , In which Judge
Gordon was charged with InCorapetency ,
and a recommendation was made that the
council take atpps to remove him. City
Attorney Council at once suggested that the
committee oa flre , water end police Investi
gate tbo matter.
"It's about time that something Is done , '
nald the city attorney. "You talk about
the Board of Education getting $20,000 this
year from police court flne-i. In January the
fines amounted to only $45 and to $51 In
February. There's something wrong there
and It should be. Investigated. "
In answer to queries City Attorney Con-
Dell eald that the police board resolution
was not in the shape of charges , but the
council had ft right to Investigate the situa
tion and. If the accusations are found well
grounded , proper steps can be tnken to re
move the police Judge. The council should
summon witnesses and keep a record of
tbo proceedings. In view of this expense
Pres'Went Blngham wanted a written opin
ion of the council's powers from the city
attorney. The matter was therefore re
ferred to tbat official , despite a suggestion
from Stuht that the whole police board be
abolished and a new one be appointed from
the members of the city council.
Unemployed Auk for Work.
Rev. John Williams , Dean Fair , Secretary
Laughland of the Associated Charities and
Mr. Beebe of Trinity cathedral composed a
committee present that urged upon the
council the necessity of furnishing work for
the city's unemployed In order to relieve
their distress. A petition from the unem
ployed , asking for euch work , was received
by the council at the last meeting and was
urged then by Father Williams.
Father Williams said that it is essential
In the Interests of economy to provide work
for the unemployed , because If they apply
for alms to the county this year they will
find it much easier to do so next winter.
He asoerted , too , that the necwsary work
can be found for the men on the streets
and particularly on the alleys of the city ,
the latter of which he said usually "reek
with fllth" until summer time.
Mr. Laughland said that many men who
have never applied -for charity before are
asking for aid this winter , although they
want work and not charity
Dean Fair spoke in the same strain , sayIng -
Ing that many self-respecting people have
had to be helped , although their cry Is foi
work. He made a suggestion that he vrll !
advance a couple of thousands of dollars ant !
even more for street work If the city Is
out of funds , the money to be taken out ol
the "Cask K" fund.
"Catk K has given a very large sum this
j'ear , " said Dean Fair. "I cannot say how
much it is , because the unknown donor has
tsked that the amount be not named. How
ever. I can advance $2,000 and even more
out of this fund and I have no doubt thai
Cask K , whoever he is , will approve of sucl
a scheme. "
President Blngham said that the councl
is willing to do anything It can , but ii
\iew of the great effort made by taxpayer !
generally to keep the levy down , only a ver ;
small sum will be available for street worl
and that thle must be strung out during thi
entire year. He stated , too , that no stree
work can be done advantageously to th
city during such cold weather as is now on
He recommended that the committee vlsi
the Board of Public Works , which has thi
power of hiring street men. and said tha
the council will carry out the board's recom
tnendation to any extent possible.

the piece. It is only the background ani
not the dominant note of the picture , bu
love , ever the favorite theme of dramatis
and novelist. Is here , like la "Quo Vadis , '
which It strongly resembles , the questloi
at issue. It deals with the stormy perkx
of history which witnessed the decllnlnj
power of paganism and the rapid growtl
of the Christian faith. The Incident aroum
i which the story is written Is the love o
I Marcus Superbus , prefect of Rome , to
1 Marcla , a lowly Christian maiden. The no
i ble pagan meets In the streets of Uonv
1 a beautiful girl , who Is defending an oh
man against an attack of the rabble. Inter
, fering , he sends the girl to her home unde
i the protection of one of his guards. Whei
, he finds that she Is suspected of belonglni
I to the despised set , which he has been or
i dere l by Nero to exterminate , he goes t
' her , disguised as a boatman , in order to wan
I her of her danger. Xews Is brought to th
girl that Stephanus , a young Christian boy
has been arrested. He Is tortured on th
| rack in order towring from him Informs
lion regarding the meeting place of th
1 Christians. Marcus arrives just as the
' are about to repeat the torture la order t
I learn the names of the leaders and fror
i the boy hears that Marcia. will be at th
I meeting. With his guards Marcus hurrie
to the grove where the Christians are en
I gaged in worship , and , Js Just In time t

she Is taken to the palace of Marcus an
there , while a drunken revel Is In progres
in the next room , he attempts to wla he
for his own evil end. Tearing herself fro :
his embrace she rushes to the door , enl
1 to find It locked. Just as Marcus is agal
about to clasp 'her ' In his arms a Hash c
vivid lightning , followed by a terrific erase
o ! thunde ? , blinds and deafens him. Hold
Ing the cross above her head the girl ex
claims : "It Is the sign , the Master he
spoken , you cannot harm me now. " Mar
cue crouches at her feet , filled with super
i stitious fear , and the curtain falls. In th
next act , urged on by a jealous woman , wh
loves the prefect , Poppea , Induces Nero t

steadfast to the end , he tells her that hi
lingering doubts are fled ; that he , too , I
a Christian , and will die with her. Han
in hand they go out to the arena to bi
slain by hungry beasts just as the curtal
falls.
The part of Marcus is played by Charlc
Dalton , who looks a prefect and noble Ro
man. every Inch. He Is an actor of grea
power and effectiveness and hU portrays
of the part is very satisfactory. Iren
Rooke makes a sweet , innocent Chrlstli
girl and brings out the purity , slrnplicit
and honesty of the character with strikln
clearness. As Nero. W. E. Bonney presente
i a clever make-up as well as headllng th

I gets about as much out of the part as i
possible. As Berenis. the jealous lover c
Marcus. Miss Agnes Scott Is very effectlv
and In her actions and manner of deliver
one sees visions of Julia Marlowe. V.'hll
there are some people in > the company tha
are bad. as a whole it is a very evenly bal
anced one.
The play Is elevating In Its tone and 1
one that ivlll appeal to not only regula
theater-goers , but many of those also wh
rarelv visit the play house. There were
num'Jcr of ministers In the audience las
evening , among them being Revs. S. Wrlgt

I ;
"Poor Antonio Ezfta' " philosophized
Henry Hooblns of Oakland , Cal , who was
In the rity yesterday for a few bours on
his -way to Chicago. "His case demon
strates how easily the mighty fall , par
ticularly If they have been mighty in any
of the little Central American republics.
He and his brother , Don Carlos Ejeta ,
former president of San Salvador , have
been completely relegated to obljvlon. yet
a few years ago they were the 'whole ' thins
among the Snlvadorenos. Antonio , who
was vice president , finally settled down
into a quiet Oakland resident. The Ezetas
had a wild time of It fcr a while. They
were once called 'the two lions. ' but after
their complete routing by Gutierrez , An
tonio found himself nicknamed "Flo Conejo , '
which means 'Uncle Rabbit , ' which was n
big comedown from 'El Leon de la Fron-
tera , " the lion of the frontier.
"Gutierrez proved himself a man of - wonderful
derful resources. He was fighting against
great odds when he undertook a revolution
against the Ezetas. They had all the
money and almost all the army. The story
of his victory over them reads like an in
credible Joke. Their army was In two bis
divisions and Gutierrez had only a handful
ot half-starved men. Seeing his opportunity
he despatched messengers to each ot the
Ezeta divisions , each faithful messenger
pretending to have been sent from one di
vision to the other , with a timely warning
of alarm. Both had the same message.
'Fly ! lly for your lives ! ' said the messen
ger to Don Carlos , 'the Illustrious general ,
Don Antonio , your brother , hastens me tc
Inform you that the rebel , Gutierrez , has
an army of 20,000 men and Is carrying
everything before him. Don Antonio's army
is already in flight. ' 'Fly ! fly for your
lives , ' was the message to Don Antonio ,
'the illustrious general , the president , Don
Carlos , your brother , hastens me to warn
you that to tarry a moment longer is at
your peril. The president's army is now
Hying before the rebel , Gutierrez , who Is
pursuing with an army of 10,000 soldiers. '
Of course they flew , one division runninfi
in one direction and the other In the oppo
site , leaving Gutierrez absolutely master ol
the situation. The mortification of the
thing only dawned upon them when It was
too late. Don Carlos fled to Paris with
JSOO.OOO of the funds of the government
and Antonio took the San Francisso route.
"You remember an effort was made by the
San Salvador government to have Antonlc
extradited after he had landed from at
American man-of-war. The present charge
d'affaires cf the Cuban Junta , Gonzalo dt
Quesada , who visited the exposition lasi
summer with the presidential party , de
fended him and he was never sent home
For this Antonio promised to go and take
up his sword for Cuban independence , bul
hewas careful to remain -where his hod ?
was safe. He once afterward made a Dor
Quixote effort , along with Manuel Casln
a contractor who had been enabled to mak (
millions under the Ezeta regime , to lnvad <
San Salvador. For this purpose a dlmlnu.
live steamer was chartered at San Fran.
Cisco , but the Mexican government gobblec
up the whole outfit and Antonio did not se
farther south than Acapulco. After this ht
settled down Into obscure peacefulners a
j Oakland a more comfortable fate than hi
I would have had If the Mexicans had al
lowed him to land on Salvadorean soil. "
Dr. A. A. Willits of Spring Lake. N. J.
a popular pulpit orator , was at the Mlllan
last evening on his way to Iowa. He lecture *
In Seward , this state , and goes now to Ode-
bolt , Lemars and other towns along thf
Illinois Central. For thirty years he wa !
a pastor of Philadelphia churches , thirteer
years of that time occupying the pulpit o
the Wect Arch Street Presbyterian churcl
there , from which congregation he succeedee
In lifting a debt cf some JGO.OOO. "Sun

perament is of the sunny order. "I fine

was that she considered hertelf a Yankee :
that the United States had been better than

that It was. besides , the greatest country
In the world. Ot American audiences
Mmc. Carreno says : 'They arc the quickest

they decide the matter for themselves. It
appears a thing of natural Instinct ; they
eem to feel whether a performer I up to

properly gauged. As for myself. I can
only say that before I went abroad and
made a name for myfelf ithe people of the
United States loved me ; they did not need

They believed in mo by their own standards
and I love them. "

FATE OFTHE LEVY ORDINANCE
IJt eryllilntr Di'iienil" I poii the Vole
thnt AVII1 HP TttUi-iilii Council
ToiilKht.
There seem to be many probabilities that
after tonight's council meeting the tax levy
for 1S93 will be but 25 rains , whether Mayor
Moorcs vetoes'or approves the levy ordi
nance that is now In his hands.
If the mayor sends in the ordinance with
his approval. It will pass without a doubt ;
if the measure is vetoed , the chances are
that the necessary six \otes will be recorded
to override the veto.
Just what Mayor Moores will do with the
ordinance Is not positively known. He says
he has not finally decided , but owing to the
care with which he has been investigating
into the needs of the various departments
and the Intimations he has given that he
considers some of the appropriations too
trmall , the opinion general/ prevails about
the city hall tbat the levy will be vetoed.
Six votes out of the nine are required to
override a veto. Five votes passed the levy
ordinance a first and second t.me at the
oouncli meeting a week ago Burkley , Lo-
beck , Stuht , Mercer and Mount. Therefore ,
but one more vote of the remaining three
Burmester. Blngham and Karr for Bechel
has not -attended late meetings on account
of Illness need be secured. If these Dve
stand fast.
At least two of thefe fast three named
councllmen are wavering whether or not to
vote agaicst a possible veto. It is said that
one of them certainly will In case the fate
cf the levy depends upon his vote. Therefore
It is only neetassry for the five eouncllraen
who manipulated the levy a week ago to
stand pat and the necessary additional vote
will be secured that will transform the ordi
nance into a taw.
