THE SIGNING OF THE BILL GIVES GENERAL SATISFACTION TO ALL THE CRAFT. WHAT LEADERS SAY OF IT. A PuBLIC RATIFICATION MEETING IS To BE HELD NEXT SUNDAY AFTERNOON. The signing of the bill closing barber- shops at noon on Sundays has given gen- eral satisfaction both to proprietors and journeymen. The bill was introduced by Senator McAllister of Marin County and passed both houses of the Legislature with little opposition. Those who took an active part in taking the matter before the Legislature were: W. G. Seppich, president of the Barbers’ Protective Union; J. Heinz, chairman of the committee of three appointed by the w, 6, SEPPICH ., PROMINENT MEN AMONG THE holding the meeting is that a general pub- lic sentiment in favor of the bill may be created. A choice programms of exercises has been prepared, including music and short addresses. Among the speakers will be Charles M. Shortridge, editor and pro- prietor of the CaLL, and William G. Sep- pich and others, Seats will be reserved or ladies and their escorts. - WITH WEW ATTRACTIONS. How ““The GirlI Left Behind Me’’ Comes This Time. > The coming engagement of “The Girl T Left Behind Me,” which opens at the Cali- fornia Theater on Monday evening next, promises to eclipse the former engagement of the play at the Baldwin two years ago. The sale of seats opened yesterday morn- ing, and judging by the great demand the Californja will hold one of the largest au- diences ever assembled within its walls on Monday night. 1t is said that the play is now presented on a scale which has’increased its popu- | larity. The Indian attack on Post Kennion is given with realistic elaboration. It shows a handful of men and a few women in ‘a beleaguered garrison, waiting for several thousand hostile Indians to pourin and massacre them. This time a specially trained quartet will sing the quaint Indian war melodies, and a company of United States regulars will be seen in the pre- duction. e THE OFFICERS TOO LATE.

J BREITWISCH PROGRESSIVE BARBERS OF SAN FRANCISCO. [3r. Seppich is president of the Barbers' Protective Union. Mr. Heinz is chairman of the Committee of Three.] the Barbers’ Association. Mr. Breitwisch is treasurer of barbers to urge such legislation; Hugo Scheunert and J. Young, members of the committee; John Klitsch, president of the Barbers’ Association of San Francisco, and Fred J. Breitwisch, treasurer of the organization. In speaking of the law yesterday W. G. Seppich of Seppich & ‘Kleinhans, Russ | House, said: “There are about 540 barber-shops in this city. All but a few of them keep open on Sunday, but a majority close at noon. A few keelp open until 12:30 o’clock, some until 1 o’clock and about a dozen re- main open until 6 ». . *‘Now all the shops will have to close at noon. The law gives universal satisfaction both to journeymen barbers and shop- keepers. I have heard of but one man who talked of fighting the law, and I understand that he has recently said he would close at noon. “There are about 2700 or 2800 barbers in the city, including proprietors and em- ployes.” Practically the law has the sup- port of all. The bill which has just become a law was drafted by the Barbers’ Protec- tive Union, a beneficiary organization, not a labor society, at the request both of journeymen and shopkeepers. An open meeting was called last January, to which all barbers were invited. The meeting was held in Red Men’s Hall and was at- tended by about 260 barbers. Resolutions were passed in favor of such a law, and the Barbers’ Association of San Francisco was organized to see that the shops were kept closed if the bill became a law. “The Barbers’ Association will meet at Foresters’ Hall at 2:30 p. M. Sunday. All the members of the Protectiye Union will attend and steps will be taken to see that the law is enforced. “I as a shopkeeper 1avor the law. When I complete my work'at noon on Sunday I desire a half-holiday for rest or recreation. If other shops kept open in the afternoon it might force me to do likewise. Thatis why the law is a necessity. It applies everywhere in the State. There are about 5000 working barbers in California, all of whom wiil now enjoy a half holiday. “There is not a town in the State which did not petition for this law. Itseffect will be beneficial.’” i 5 In June, 1890, Mr. Seppich was instru- mental in organizing for the purpose of closing at 8 p. M. In September this early closig movement took effect. J. Heinz of 433 of Pine street, chairman of the committee of three on legislation, was equally strong imhis approval of the law. *It does not difect bathhouses as some seem to fear,” said be. “It only ap- plies to barber-shops in bathhouses so far as the baths are concerned. The barber must close his barber-shop, but the bath- houses are not closed. There is no danger of the law affecting the Sutro baths or ani other baths.. Everybody is pleased wit the law. i “A few desired to close up for the entire day on Sunday, but in order not to affect barber-shops in hotels and not to discom- mode the traveling public it was decided to have the bill so framed that it would only close the shops for half a day. The em- p}oyers' ,are as much pleased as the em- oyes. L 1. Heinz was on the committee which secured the passage of the act of 1880. This act only applied to the city and county of San Francisco. When the g{enem Sunday law was repealed the act affecting barbers went with it. ““The main idea, now that the Governor has signed the bill, is to see that the law is enforced,” said Frea J. Breitwisch journeyman barber at the Palace and ireasurer of the Barbers’ Association of San Francisco. “That is the purpose of our organization. Thelaw isa good one. There will be little if any opposition to it. 1t gives a married man a chance to spend Sunday afternoon with his family. It gives a needed half holiday to a]{ By g‘l;x_ng a little leisure it tends to elevate the iness and the men ¢ngaged in it. Every ]barber in the city is heartily in favor of the aw . 3 “The meeting on Sunday will be an en- thusiastic one. The barbers are greatly Blusegi with the position taken fi; the ALL in this matter and are extremely thankful for its aid.” The Barbers’ Association of San Fran- cisco have in conjunction with the Barbers’ Protective Union of San Francisco, decided to hold a grand meeting on Sunday at 3 o'clock at A. O. F. Hall, 102 O'Farrell street, for the finrpon of giving expression to the satisfaction-they feel in the of the recent law which closes all shops on Sunday at noon.

Over 8000 | blank certificates and all the stamps used 1n the internal revenue office were found. { The latter were ‘‘Steamer,” ““California,’” “0. M. Welburn,” *“Person other than la- borer,” ‘“First”’ and ‘‘Sailing vessel.” These were used to fill in the blanks and thus make them a fac similie of the certifi- cate used by the Internal Revenue Depart- ment. Forgeries of the signatures of Col- lector O. M. Welburn and Thomas P. Cusick of this port and Collector of Inter- nal Revenue Henry Blackmann of Port- land were also found, showing that the plans of the conspirators were deep laid. A man named “Henry’’ was one of Todd’s partners, and he is now in the Northwest, supposedly selling some of the manufactured certificates. —————— Crocker’s Directory Out. The publishers of the above directory are not attempting to gain sympathy or sub- scriptions for their book by making state- ments under erroneous headings in the daiiy papers or by throwing mud. Crocker’s Directory employed the can- vassers who had worked on the old direc- tory for many years, and their experience and capability in that line is a guarantee of the faithful performance of their part of the work, thus making it the most com- plete directory in every respect that has ever been published in San Francisco.

Twenty years ago in Italy melody was to be heard all over the country. The laborer going home to bed through the vines sang his stornello or his rispetto to the sleeping fields. The boi_who drove his yoked oxen or cows in the big square cart beguiled the way with song, joyous or amorous. The suitar and the mandolin were heard at usk at every farmhouse door, and in the streets of the town youths went singing and playing till the moon was high. There was music all over the land, along the hedgerows as in the city lanes, under the poplars and mulberries as beneath the L How many a time at sunset or in the starlight have i listened to the beautiful canzone of the asantry when the sweetness of the vine ower filled the atmosphere or the dropped acacia blossom shed its smell on garden paths.

ANOTHER A NEW FRANCHISE. ArLr oF THEM WiILL HavE TO WaAIT UNTIL THE STREET COMMITTEE THINKS ABouT IT. Street railway matters almost entirely monopolized the time of the Street Com- mittee all day yesterday. Supervisor Hughes presided during the morning ses- sion and Chairman Spreckels during the afternoon. The Presidio and Ferries Railway was up for a hearing on' their petition for the right to use electricity asa motor on Wash- ington and Jackson streets to the relief of the horses at present employed. The Sutro Railway Company was present. in the person of Colonel Little, asking for an extension of time in which to complete the road. The San Francisco and San Mateo Rail- way was present through its attorney and secretary in behalf of its petition for a very considerable extension in itsfranchise. None of these requests were granted. In the discussion of two of them there was uite a spicy colloquy between members of the board and the representatives of the roads. Superintendent of Streets Ash- worth, who sits through the meetings of the Street Committee as a matter of con- venient reference and by way of gathering important information for "use in his offi- cial business, served as an embarrassing obstacle to the San Francisco and San Mateo. | Supervisor Hugfles asked the ‘attorney for a statement as to the status of the road as operated now, and the attorney called upon the secretary to answer. Mr. Hughes said that it had been found almost impos- sible to get the company to do any repair- ing on tie streets along its line. Mr. Ash- worth cited a number of instances where the company had been notified to make re- pairs, but had not only wholly neglected to comply but had been rather curt in the language used in reg‘lyiug thereto—that is, the superintendent had. The superintendent was present and called for a bill of particulars and it was given, and the %cmioners began to look very uncomfortable. -The secretary, how- ever, said that the road being in the hands of a receiver, was virtually being operated under the eye of the court. It had been very unfortupate and was now poor, but that was no feason why it should be always unfortunate and always poor. It was the people to be benefited by the extension that were asking foritrather than the com- pany or the receiver. Upon motion of Mr. Hughes, the petition was held over for two weeks, in which time the question of whether the road should not first be improved in its present limits rather than extended beyond them will be considered. The petition on the part of the Sutro road, which was heard in the morning, was also taken under advisement. There were several protests against granting the extension of time. One of them, signed by Ralph Wetherbee, was very abusive of the Mayor, charging him with insincerity, his grounds for opposition being ‘the en- croachment of the Sutro road upon the Knights of Pythias’ burying - ground in the City Cemetery. Another protest, signed by William McDermott, complaine that the material used in the building of the road was not purchased in California. Colonel Little said that the objection probably grew out of the fact that 60- pound rails were being used and these could not be rolled in this State. . Supervisor Benfamin declared that the Market-street Railway Company was using 70-pound rails, and they were rolled here. olonel Little replied that 60-pound T rails'could not be rolled here. Supervisor Hughes said this was true; that T rails of above 44 pounds could not be rolled here, ‘“but,” he added, “the T rail is out of date and they should not be used.” Supervisor Morgenstern said that a law should be enacted forbidding the use of the T rail. He said it had been objected to repeatedly. Supervisor Benjamin wanted to know if the dynamos were to be bought in this city. % Colonel” Little said it had not been de- termined where they would be purchased but he said estimates had been receive from the East. Supervisor Hughes sug- gested that this maiter, together with the invasion of the cemetery, be investigated, and that, therefore, no decision be given as yet. Colonel Little said that investiga- tion was invited, as they had nothing to conceal. George A. Newhall was the advocate of the Presidio and Ferries Railroad in their petition for the right to use electricity as a motive power. 1t was the desire of the road to'dispense with horses on Washing- ton and_ Jackson streets, connecting with the cable track at Montgomery avenue. Mr. Newhall explained that the "company intended to adopt electricity for the entire line when the methods made it possible to climb the hills by its means. This matter also was held over for one week. The matter of paving with bituminous rock Market street, between Valencia and Castro, was referred to the Superintendent of Streets.

Two of Them Will Soon Be Opened to Public Traffic. The extension of the Kearny-street line out Kentucky avenue to Sixteenth will be opened for traffic Saturday. ‘Workmen are at present engaged in put- ting in a crossing for the Twenty-second and Twenty-fourth street line at the inter- section with Market, and it is expected that it will be in operation in about ten days. General Manager Vining of the Market- street Company said yesterday that no radical changes in the present system of transfers was contemplated, but that the opening of the new lines would necessarily require modifications in some instances of existing conditions. The Broadway and East street electric line now runs cars at intervals of ten minutes between Kearny street and the ferries. Many new cars are being received by the Market-street Company for use in the newly opened electric lines. They are all inclosed and of the medium size, the large cars having been found undesirable in sev- eral respects. HE LED FOR THE LAST TIME THE LORING CLUB GAVE ITS FINAL CONCERT WITH THE OLD CONDUCTOR. QUITE AN OVATION ACCORDED TO THE LEADER BY A LARGE AUDI- ENCE. ‘When David Loring raised his baton yesterday evening to lead the club he founded nineteen yearsago for the last time there was nota vacant seat in Odd Fellows’ Hall. The enthusiasm, which began when the singers and their conductor appeared on the platform, continued all through the concert, and when the last words of the final number, “Now Fare Thee Well, Good- Night,”” had been sung, the majority of the audience showed their disinclination to say farewell by staying and applauding, evidently in the expectation that Mr. Lor- ing would make a speech. They were dis- appointed, however, for the conductor only responded by bowing and finally sought safety by retiring with the rest of the per- formers from the platform. The concert was just as good as if the rehearsals - had -not been hurried on a month to give the last performance of the season before Mr. Loring’s departure for Japan. Indeed, in the Jarge number of active members present and in the happy nature of the selections, it was a better concert than usual. The volume of voices ‘was guite majestic in some of the numbers, articularly in the Mendelssohn *‘Bacchus Chorus.” It made one regret that San Francisco does not possess an equally good organization of female voices, which might combine occasionally with the Loring Club to give the public the treat of hearing ora- torio. From the way the chorus sang the Mendelssohn number last night it ought not to have much trepidation about at- tempting the ‘‘St. Paul” or the ‘‘Elijah.” One of the most cleverly rendered selec- tions was Genee’s ‘“‘Italian Salad.”” It consists of a string of Italian musical terms, and words that occur frequently in ogera. _Being translated they ran some- thing like “‘soft, sweet, suave and lovely! Loud, I tremble, with passion,” etc., and aseach word was given with its proper expression, and the music was pretty, the audience was dhite charmed with the re- sult. Barring a disposition to waver and quiveron hisnotes, Frank Coffin sang the tenor solo of the “Italian Salad” very ac- ceptably. Some of the other numbers were a “‘Rhine Wine Song,"Hy Mendelssohn, a waltz by Vogel and a “Hymn to Music” by Lachner. Mrs. Carroll-Nicholson, the vocal soloist, Was more a mezzo-soprano than a con- tralto, as announced in the programme. The unsteadiness in her voice was evi- dently caused by nervousness, for it became less noticeable the more she sang. Mrs. Nicholson’s voice was pleasing and even, though not very round nor powerful. It was free from the sepulchral tones that mar so many self-styled contraltos, how- ever, and as the selections, by Massenet, Cantor and Dudley Buck, were all ju- dicious, Mrs. Nicholson succeeded in mak- ing a very good impression on her au- dience. On the 1st of April the Loring Club gives a farewell banquet to David Loring, after which the rehearsals will go on as usual under the leadership of U.C. Stadtfeld, the conductor pro tem. » ME. SHANTIES WILL DISAPPEAR. THE MACDONOUGH ESTATE ABOUT TO BUILD ON GRANT AVENUE. A SIGNIFICANT TRANSFER OF REAL ESTATE NEAR REDWOOD CITY. The Macdonough estate has decided to erect & handsome building at the northeast corner of Sutter street and Grant avenue on a lot fronting 60 feet on Sutter street and 100 feet on the avenue. Baldwin & Hammond, agents for the es- tate, notified tenants on the property yes- terday to leave the premises, and as soon as these people move out work will be com- menced for erection of the building. The disgraceful old shanties will be torn down and improvements in keeping with these times of development take their place. The new building is designed with Span- ish-Californian feeling in a type of the Moresque . that is picturesque, although well adapted to modern requirements. Only two stories will be built above the ground, but'the walls will be so constructed that three additional stories may bg added _whenever the demand justifies such en- largement. The material to be used is stone, brick and iron combined in a frame- work on most modern principles. The structure will cost about $45,000. At present it is doubtful if the plan will be changed, as a tenant has been found who will rent the entire building, while another offers to take the stores, leaving the upper floors to a second party. Baldwin & Hammond closed the sale of a large tract in San Mateo County yester- day. They sold 650 acres of land at Red- wood City, belonging to Mrs. Caroline H. Robinson. Part of the land is in the town of Redwood, about fifty acres being divided into town lots and 600 acres in ranch land. It is located about a quarter of a mile from the railroad station. C. A. Hooper, the lumberman, bought ‘it as an investment, no doubt in consideration of the valley road coming through San Mated and the consequent adyance in real estate values in that countz. The ranch is part of a tract fomefli nown as the Horace Hawes land, which was bequeathed for an educa- tional establishment, but was subsequently secured by heirs of the Hawes estate.

Charies Riggs, whose company is play- ing “The Two Orphans” at the Alcazar this week, has flatly refused to pay his late leading lady, Miss Anne Leonard, and four other actors, any part of the amount they claim as salaries. “Seeing there was small prospect of re- covering the back salary,” said Miss Leon- ard yesterday, “and being left out of the cast for ‘ The Two Orphans,” I asked Mr. Riggs on last Friday evening to at least secure my hotel bill. This he refused to do, although by leaving me out of this week’s cast he had prncticulli discharged me. My implied dismissal, he said, was demanded b)l' ‘the front of tife house,’ meaning the lessees of the theater. *“So here I am, far from home, minus my salary and transportation, which I was given to understand when we started from Chicago would be paid whether the busi- nees was good or not, as Riggs said_he had | good financial backing. His backing has come from George N. Sceets, a wealthy brass-founder oi%[ilwaukee, who is the father of Rose Stillman, one of the ladies of the company. “I consider Miss Stillman indirectly responsible, as she, as yell as Riglgs, led us to believe our pay was secure. do not see any way now to recover my money, but when I get back to Chicago I shall be able to avenge myself in a way by informin%i the theatrical people there of the way I | have been served. The whole scheme seems to have been a desire on Riggs’ part to get rid of me and another member of the company; but he lost five of us instead of two.”’ A. C. Henderson, the leading man, also left the company because there is a bal- ance of $260 salary due him. He says he got tired of getting his pay on irregular sémi-occasions. “I made a demand on him on Saturday,” said Mr. Henderson, ‘“which he refused and then he cast another member of the company to my part. It seems it wasn’t a safe proposition to ask Riggs for a settle- | ment. e played to fairly good business all along the route, and even if we had not his agreement was put in language which | led meto believe the pay was sure, or 1 would not have left a good position to come West.” Business Manager Fullwood, swhom Riggs assaulted a few days ago, John Full- wood, his brother, and Miss Drosden are the other three members whose places have been filled in San Francisco and who are out some salary besides the inconvenience of being faraway from home without trans- portation. o Charged With Swindling. G. Abrams, a tailor on Market street, swore out warrants in Judge Campbell’s court yester- day for the arrest of Frank J. Kelly, Company H, Second Regiment, National Guard, and Charles A. Dutreaux, Company C, Naval Bat- talion, cn the charge of misdemeanor embez- zlement. He stated that the two guardsmen told him they each had $90 due to them for services rendered during the strike at Sacra- mento, and on the strength of this representa- tion induced him to give each a $40 suit of clothes and $10 cash. When he went with the orders to the quartermaster he found the two guardsmen theipmoney. SOUTHERN TIES Are the most graceful form of low cut shoe.
