noon with a little Incidental assistance fiqm
their populist allies The populists called
their convention In the foienoon nnd ad
journed until evening In order to give their
democratic friends a chance to take their
portion of tlm honors The democrats met
nt 2 o'clock , nnd except for a recess for con
ference , remained In session until neatly 8
' clock In the evening. By vlituc of the
decision of the conference' committee the
populists were allowed to name one senator ,
thicc representatives and the county com
missioner from the Plftli district The dem
ocrats arrogated the assessors to themselves
and thereby left a sere spat In the anato
mies of some of their populist brethren who
aspired to win a share of those places But
altogether the desired fusion was very satis
factorily accomplished , and there was nc
great amount of wrangling over the rcprc-
Rentatlon which was to be given to the popu
lists
Of the ticket nominated John Jcffcoat for
senator , H M Taylor , John O Yclepr anil
Charles Curtis for representatives and J. M
Konncy for commissioner In the Plfth dis
trict were the populist selections Prank
Hansom for senator , while nominated by thn
democrats , wns n sop thrown to the free sll-
% cr republicans

AMUSEMENTS.
Henderson's Opera company presented
"The Mikado" at Boyd's last night , veiy
creditably on the whole. The humor of
Gilbert's dialogue Is too subtle , nnd the
beauty of Sullivan's music too delicate to
bo fully compassed by any but tbo most
competent artists ; but many light opera
companies have given performances of the
Joint works of these mastcia which have
been In some respects enjoyable , and this
organization has several points of excel
lence. The chorus Is large , and , especially
on the male side , effective. The costumes
and settings are rich , elaborate and In goad
taste , as was to be expected from Mr
Henderson Some of the principals approach
the high standard of adequate Gilbert and
Sullivan work , notably Mr. MeWade , who ,
vocally and dramatically , came near to be
all a Mikado should be Miss Salinger Is a
robust Yum Yum , Miss McKenylo a very
piquant Plttl Sing , and Mr Cashman an
acceptable Pool Bah , although a little more
of the splco called "ginger" would not have
been amiss even In tbo descendant of n pro
toplasmlc globule. Mr Otis Thayer hafa
qualifications not to be despised as n
comedian , but to Interpolate gaps and
bpcclaltlcs and otherw ISP to take Improper
liberties with the Gilbert text is almost as
gicat a crlmo ns to the like with Shakes

enough for most people.
"The Chimes of Normandy" will be sung
this afternoon and "Bohemian Girl" this
evening.

"Heart Bowed Down , " "Fair Land at

SAN FRANCISCO , Sept 18 WIth > this
Identification of the body of an unknown
youth who committed suicide under mys-
toilous circumstances at Marline/ Sun
day last the story of the eventful but brlci
career of .in alleged German baion at Bcl-
mont. In San Matco county , has Just come to ;
light.
About a year ago a tramp was picked up
on the hlghv.ay between Redwood City and
lielmont by a philanthropic icsldent of the
latter place , who took him home and gave
him employment. Aflei working for
almost nine mo'ilhs the youth , who was
known as Hurry Moeilng , confided to the
women of his employer's household that ha
was an Impostor. Inste > ad of be-lng an or
dinary tramp ho was the eldest son of the
noted German btatcKman , Baron Zedwltz.
Among other things ho said ho had been
an officer In the German navy , but bad de
serted bis ship for some Imaginary griev
ance when In South Africa and had worked
his way to this coast. Since his arrival
here ho had been In conespondenco with
bis father , and the latter , who was i pcr-
bonal nnd Intimate friend of the Gorman
emperor , bad exeiclsed his , political "pull , "
and that bo had not only been forgiven for
deserting bis ship , but had been given an
appointment as ( list lieutenant
Ho also Incidentally mentioned that his
mother had died In Germany and on her
deathbed had forgiven him nnd bequeathed
him a sum equal to about $35,000 In Ameri
can mone-y. '
Recent letters , bo albo stated , had been
received by him announcing that an allow
ance would soon bo forwarded to him by his
father , who was anxious for him to return
to Ills fatherland As ho produced letters
to substantiate his story , his romance was
credited by onn member of the family at
least , the youngest daughter of his em
ployer , who astonished her relatives by an
nouncing shortly afterward that she had
plighted her troth to the baron. Pending
Inquiry the distinguished foreigner censed
to work and lived as the honored guest of
his benefactor , but Just before a letter ar
rived from Gfi many denouncing him as an
Impostor ho disappeared.
