The attendance was quite satisfactory to the faculty of the club, and the applause which greeted the participants in the pro- | gramme was not stinted at any time. The appearance of the Metropolitan Or- chestra for the first time in public was passed upon critically. Their first effort received sufficient applause to give the young people courage, but the audience “Iam the onilly woman ever appointed | United States Marshal.” and other | | evidently desired more music before ren- dering final judgment. They received it later in the programme, and from the pro- longea appizuse and number of flowers sent hurriedly to the stage it was evident thata reputation for giving good music | had been established by the young folks. | The programme, as outlined in yester- day’s CaLr, was carried out with the ex- | ception of the solo by Miss Calsing, who | was 100 ill to appear. Claudia Hazen - Barto's rendition of ““Cleopatra” held the audience in a state of | suppressed excitement, which broke forth in wild applause when her lines had been given.

Her Jove song, “Dreams,” was sung in faultless notes an captivated the audience. She responded to the lg-plnnsc with “Hi-Spy,” a new song by Charles Blakeman ofpfioston. It was a catchy airand given in a way that will create ‘'a demand for the seryices of Mrs. Evans. As soon as the orchestra had rendered the music which established their future reputation Mrs. Clara Foltz, dean of the club, arrayed in_ Portia robe, appeared upon the stage and' introduced M?ss Pheebe Couzens as ‘‘the distinguished lady lawyer | the Princess, whose shapely face was not voice and a rapid flow of language, said in art : “‘Shakespeare’s Portia is a fact anda suggestive truth. A fact because in Ve- nice, where the scenes are laid, there was born in the year 1465 a female infant des- tined to fulfill all the wonderful attributes of Portia and more. Ere she reached the nge of 21 she received the degree of doctor of laws, and was renowned for her remark- able erudition, resplendent genius and personal accomplishments. ; ‘“Her name was Cassancra Fedele, and the accomplished scholar Politian was wont to calipher the Pheenix, and said that she was so skilled in philosophy and dia- lectics as to untie the Gordian knot when all other hands had failed. ‘‘She was conversant with all the known languages of the globe and was celebrated for her eioquence and Latin orations, which she delivered in public on numerous occasions. “‘There must come a time when all man’s boasted wisdom and strength, cunning of hand and brain fails,and the Gordian knot must be unloosed by other powers than his own. A feminine Daniel always comes to the judgment seat, with heart—a flame of love—and spirit filled with gentlest pity, to teach the solvent of the golden rule, where mercy seasons justice.”’ The speaker then referred to the fact that it was only a few years ago that the Washington University of St. Louis first opened its doors to women, and that its first woman graduate was Belva Lock- wood. The great trouble at the present time.was the fact that men always refer to the dusty past for ‘‘precedent’” and pass judgment upon the result of the brains of some men who knew nothing of present conditions. Women can clear all ‘these cobwebs awa; “T have visited your courts right here in San Francisco and have seen women as- sembled there as defendants, plaintiffs and witnesses. Woman is summoned to your courts and must respond. When some poor unfortunate falls she is tried by men. I maintain that you should try every woman by her peers. “You had an illustration of the musty process right here in San Francisco a few days ago. One of your learned Judges said, upon authority of a man who had a sim- ilar case ten yea g0, that your Governor could appoint, but he could not remove. That is an idiotic decision, based upon another case.” The lecturer gave a length%' acceunt of work done by women and called upon la- dies to study the laws, not for the purpose of entering the profession, but in order that they may by their knowledge better the community in which they live. BATS OFF AT THEATERS. A Number of Ladies in Attendance Removed Their Head Gear. ““There seems to be a desire on the part of anumberof the lady patrons of this theater,” said Louis Morgenstern of the Baldwin Theater last night, “to make it as pleasant as possible for those who occupy seats behind them, and this they do by re- moving their hats during the performance. Lots of them have taken to this idea.” Last night at the theater there were no- ticed several ladies in the audience who were hatless, and while the sight wasa little unusual to one who has been accus- tomed to see the skyscrapers worn and which obstructed the view, it wasa pleas- | ing one. The reform will undoubtedly find many who will follow it, and when it becomes general those who in the past have had the stage shut out from their view will bless the fair sex. In one of the boxes sat the oriental visitors Imad Yung, Nawab of Bahadur, and his beautiful wife, incumbered with an obstructive hat. The example she set was followed by ladies in other boxes. At the California there were half a dozen ladies who were considerate enough to remove their hats. At Stockwell’s there were only three who carried out the reforin, and they looked far more at ease than those who wore hats. There were several ladies at the Alcazar | who conformed to the general desire to | have hats off in theaters, particularly high ones, and it was noticeable in the audience that high hats were the,exception and togques and close—fitting bonnets the rule. The audience at Morosco's had four ladies who concluded not to incommode others behind them with obtrusive head- ear. 8 he Orpheum had three ladies who con- formed to the new idea, but at the Tivoli and the Auditorium there were no hatless ladies seen in the audience. COLONEL THORNTON'S WILL HE LEAVES AN ESTATE VALUED AT IN THE DIAMOND FIELDS OF ARRICA. AN INTERESTING LECTURE DELIV- ERED BY PROFESSOR S. B. CHRISTY. HOW THE MINE WAS FOUND. ONE NaTIVE CAME NEAR STEALING A FORTUNE IN A SINGLE STONE. There were a good many gray-haired men in the audience that listened to Pro- fessor S. B. Christy Saturday, when he de- livered a lecture on “The Kimberly Mines” at the Mechanics’ Institute, and many of them had learned mining in the ‘‘golden days” of California, but some of the facts presented by the professor were staggerers to the oldest argonaut present. “The material, or rather a large part of it, in my lecture,” said Professor Christy, ‘“was sent to me by Gardner F. Williams, an old n Franciscan, a graduate of the University of California, and at present the manager of the Kimberly mines, so that of its authenticity there can be no doubt.” Professor Christy took his audience metaphorically 600 miles northeast of Cape Town, in the Orange Free State, and showed them the location of the most Hiro Rocn Plan Showing the Method of Working the De Beers Mine. [Drawn by a “Call” artist from a design.] SARD RéCR powerful mining corporation in the world. “The origin of the Kimberly mines,” said the lecturer, “is as definite as the work- ing. Itwas in 1867 that John O’Reilly, a comparatively unlettered but exceedingly shrewa tracer, saw a group of children playing jackstones with rough pebbles. B/ Hellly took @ look at the pebbles: One of them was a thousand-dollar diamond. It was some time later—in fact not until 1870—that the place was discovered where the diamonds came from, although among the natives the stones were guite com- mon. These beds where the stones are found are practically mud volcanoes, erupted and hardened by the lapse of time. The rock is hard and the strata clearly defined. The ratio of earnings to ore isregular, and on_an average one ton of ore produces one karat in diamonds, gmrth,at present about 30 shillings, or 7 50." By means of the stereopticon various grades and sections of the Kimberly mines were shown, and when Professor Christy told the audience that the output of ore was ‘““a million tons a year, 5000 tons a day, and once reached 320 tons in an hour,” the ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. MosT oF IT WiLL BE CONVERTED INTO CAsH FOR DISTRI- BUTION. The will of Colonel Harry I. Thornton, who died a few days ago at Fresno. was filed for probate yesterday. It isshortand direct, and was written by the hand of the | testator himself. Thornton's estate is valued at nearly $100,000. Most of this is composed of real estate situated in Contra Costa County, and | the remainder is in personal property. The sister of the testator, Mrs. Bessie *Thornton, is left most of the real estate, although otherwise the property is evenly divided among the sisters of the deceased and Harry T. Creswell, his nephew. The testator directs that his ranch on San Pablo Creek, in Contra Costa County, known as Rancho Resaca and containin over 1000 acres, be divided into ten equal shares, eight of which are to front on San Pablo Creek. In one of these pieces front- ing on the creek is to be included the house, orchards and barns, and this, with the piece to the north and the one to the south of it, are to go vo Bessie Thornton. If his sister had died before him it was provided that her share should go to her children, half to her son and one-fourth to each of her daughters. His lawbooks and bookcases, desks, etc., he leaves to his nephew, Harry Thornton Creswell. His other books, his pictures, ornaments, plate, etc., are given to his three sisters in equal shares. His watch and chain pass to the son of his sister Bes- sie. The remainder of his property is to be then sold, and after paying all debts and claims, $1000 is to go to his nephew ‘William, son of his sister Bessie, and $3000 to his nephew Harry Creswell. The residue is to be divided e%ually among his three sisters and Harry Creswell. Creswell was named as executor, but he declined to accept the trust, as he has been ap{vainted attorney for the estate. The will already provided for that, however, by conditionally appointing Bessie Thornton, who will act. - BETH ISRAEL WILL CELEBRATE. A Scriptural Play to Be Performed by Children. Next Sunday evening the Geary-street Temple will hold a celebration at Armory Hall on Ellis street, between Polk and Van Ness avenue. 1t being the Hebrew “Feast of Purim,” a cantata, entitled ‘“Esther,” will be performed by over one hundred children of the Beth }’sruel Sun- day -school. The principal characters of the scriptural play will be as fellows: Ahasuerus, Charles Van Fliet; Esther, Hattie Lanzet; Mordecai, Sidney Herzog: Haman, Levy; Zeresh, Lilly Fulda; Jester, Joe Simmons. The performance will be followed by dancing. An orchestra of fourteen pieces will be in attendance. —_————— .

[Drawn by a “Call” artist from asdesign.] gray-haired men rubbed their foreheads and wondered if they had heard aright. The principal labor utilized is convict labor, because it is easier to watch such men than free miners, and the stealings by convict labor are proven materially lfess than under the free labor system. “This is a model of one of the largest diamonds ever found in the Kimberly mines,”’ said the lecturer, as he held up a piece of plaster of paris about an inch in surface width. “It was found by one of the natives and by him conceaf’ed in his loin cloth. He was searched, but passed through with the diamond in his pos- session. He told a comrade, was betrayed and the stone recovered. It weighed wfien cut 428 karats, and was valued at $67,000.” To the mining men in the audience the illustrations shuwin}: drifts, tunnels and cross-sections were full of interest. The group of Basuto Kaffirs showed the small Basuto Kaffirs. [Drawn by a “Call” artist from a photograph.) chance of the native miner’s secreting any diamonds on his person. The annua) value of the Kimberly output is estimatev{ at $20,000,000, one-third of which is sold in the United States. The present tariff law has reduced the actualvalue of United States purchases more than two million dollars. It was said by Professor Chris? that in order not to weaken the diamond market by over-production the custom of workin over the tailings had been abandoned ang men who had been given concessions fox such work were supported in comparative idleness by the company rather than have the market flooded with small stones. The consolidation of the mines under Cecil Rhodes and the history of their mechanical workings were fully dealt with and illus- trated wherever possible. WITNESSES TERRORIZED. The Jessie-Street Gang of Hoodlums Defy the Law. ‘When the case of Ed M. McGreevy, charged with robbery, was called in Judge Campbell’s court yesterday, Pelicemen Ross and Hennessey, who made the arres informed the court thatthe Jessie-strees gang of hoodlums were terrorizing the wit- nesses subpenaed. They could not get them to come and testify in court as they feared for their lives. One of the wit- nesses was brutally beaten yesterday morn- ing. §IcGreevy is one of the gang that gar- roted and robbed Michael Fitzgerald, a stranger from Merced, last Wednesday night on Jessie street, between First and Second. Fitzgerald gave his testimony and identified McGreevy as one of the robbers. The case was continued till to-day to give the police a chance to fmdi’some of the witnesses and, if possible, the mem- bers of the gang that had threatened to harm them. e WHOSE TITLE IS CLOUDY? An Important Point Raised in the Police Court. The preliminary examination of Mrs. Abbie J. Hunter, president of the Women's Real Estate Investment Company, charged with obtaining money by false pretenses, was commenced before Judge Joachimsen yesterday. Mary O)Donnell, the complaining wit- ness, testified to having purchased a lot from the company, on which she paid the greater portion of the purchase price by installments. Mrs. Hunter then induced her to exchange the lot for one in the Sunnyside Tract. She continued paying the installments till but $75 was owing on the lot. Sheasked for a deed to the lot, but Mrs. Hunter put her off with promises, which were never fulfilled. Her testimony was corroborated by Mary Foy, one of her friends. Rudolph Mohr, secretary of the Sunny- side Land Company, testified that the de- fendant’s company had undertaken to pur- chase a block of land at Sunnyside, but had not kept faith with the Sunnyside com- pany and their claim had lapsed. Attorney Smith for the defendant as- serted that the reason her company had not been able to fulfill the contract with Mary O’Donnell was because the title of the Sunnyside company was faulty and Hevionid ot therefore, give the defend- ant’s company & clear title to the block. A continuance was granted till to-day so that the original title to the land couid be produced to show where the responsi- bility rested for a cloudy title. . AN IMPORTANT TRANSFER. Real Estate on Fremont Street Sold for $60,000. Joseph G. Deming has bought the two- story brick bnilding occupied by the Paci- fic Saw Manufacturing Company on Fre- mont street for $60,000. The building itself | has comgaratively little value in compari- son with structures near it, thongh its| rental is estimated at 6 per cent of the purchase price. The lot has a frontage of 45 feet 10 inches on Fremont street, a depth of 137 feet 6 inches, and is situated 182 feet south of s the first transfer of property in the immediate vicinity of Market and Fre- mont streets that has been made in years. The price is a little over $1300 a front foot. 1f a modern building were erected on the Iot a good income could be realized from rents, and for that reason the price is re- garded as quite reasonable. STOCKWELL AND HIS DEBTS. THE ACTOR TELLS WHY HE WAS OBLIGED TO CLOSE HIS THEATER. He INTENDS To REOPEN AT THE PowELL-STREET HOUSE IN THE SUMMER. “There has been a good deal of talk about my getting into debt and the reason why I left: San Francisco,” said L. R. Stock- well yesterday as he discussed a late break- fast in the. cafe of the California Hotel. “The fact is,” he continued, ‘‘that the ex- planation is a good deal more simple than people think. ‘It was a mistake to say the Stockwell Theater did not pay—it did, but I was in debt when I started it and was badly in need of ready money. It cost somewhere about §60,000 to renovate the auditorium and buy scenery, etc. The owners agreed to pay $35,000 for building the front, and if the bill exceeded that I was to pay half. The front cost nearly $40,000, and that added to my debt. The agreement was that I was to _have a lease of five years, with the privilege of renewing it for an- other five years. “‘Well, the theater opened, and we paid off a good part of the debt. The Daly en- gagement was a very profitable one, but even that did not put us quite on our feet. After the holidays things went worse, and ready money was terribly scarce. On the 7th of July, a year and a half ago, ‘Maine and Georgia’ pulled us out again, and in the following November I made a contract to take that play to New York to the Fourteenth-street Theater. When we got there we had nothing but ill luck. The baggage-car that contained the scener; was a week late in arriving, and the audi- ence, that had come several times and gone away disappointed, had dwindled down so that we opened to $270. “We soon got into debt in New York, and the theater here, under Mr. Elling- house’s management, had dwindled down to nothing. The rent was not paid; they seized the scenery, and that’s how the theater was closed. This summer, though, I am coming back to it a%in for eight weeks, under Gottlob and Friedlander's management. We shall present Daly’slat- est melodrama and Pinero’s ‘Magistrate,’ which has been entirely rewrftten. The company is not made up yet, but we ex- ect to bring about eight peopfe from the East, and shall do our best to make all the groductions as good as anything that has een done here.”” . o 4 The bishop of Chester, England, is still working at his licensing reform scheme. He said recently that the difficulty in the way of temperance reform is that of com- pensation. The bishop is at present at work with the best and highest legal ad- vice drawing up as fair a statement as pos- sible—first, of the case of the trade, and secondly, of the case of the nation. He hopes to show how an equitable balance of consideration can be struck between those two great interests, and many will wish him success in this endeavor.
