Many Think a Solution Lies In Increasing Frelght Rates to This Point. At the banquet tendered the Manufac- turers and Producers’ Association last Friday night by the Mechanics’ Institute directors, J. Leggett, in response to the toast, ““Reciprocity at Home,” gave utter- ance to a few pertinent suggestions that have eyidently taken deep root in the minds of those directly interested. He argued for more manufactures for San Francisco, but he did more than this, for he suggested a plan by which manufactur- ers could be induced to come to this City. Mr. Leggett carefully revised the manu- facturing enterprises of San Francisco and the causes that have hitherto prevented similar institutions from locating here. He said the only feasible method to attract manufacturers was to exempt from tax- ation the machinery, raw material and finished product of the manufacturer, as well as the capital devoted by him to the carrying on of his business. With a view of finding out just how the manufacturers themselves felt on this subject a CALL representative interviewed several of the most prominent yesterday. Without a single exception they heartily indorse the plan suggested by Mr. Leggett, though many of them entertain ideas which they claim are just as important in their way to the manuiacturer of this City as is the matter of taxation. Forinstance, some claim that Eastern rates into San Francisco are too low and that coal is ‘00 high. These things, they say, must be remedied, along with taxation, before local manufacturers can successfully compete with Eastern concerns. Others hold that the lack of skilled mechanics is a barrier that must be overcome before San Fran- cisco can hope to rank as a manufacturing center. \Mr. Sperry of the Sperry Flour Milling Company 3 The ides of exempting from taxation manu- facturers, as advanced by Mr. Leggett, is cer- tainly a good one, and would unquestionably place local institutionson & footing very nearly equal with I foreign institutions. It would _cer efit the flour busin present time we get very Oregon t , because the cost of ) much greater here than there. As of fact Oregon ships flour right into a and unless something is done we hope to control that which is right- Yes, I am in favor of exempting rers from taxation of any kind, and vo-thirds of the people feel the same wonderfull little of th W Secretary D. B. Moody also favored the proposition, saying that San Francisco is now handicapped by the labor and fuel problem, and unless something was done to offset this local manufacturers would get the worst of it. R. S. Moore, manager of the Risdon Iron Works, said: If local manufacturers were exempt from tax- ation on their plant, capital and products they could compete with the world. Suchalaw as this would be the means of attracting hun- ds of such institutions to our City, and all asses would be greatly benefited in_conse- want to see such an idea take defi- hape, and I am pleased to see THE CALL ing the fight. Mr. Dow of the Dow Machine Works 1 think the idea a good one—excellent, in fact, but I am airaid there are certain features which rerder it impracticable. For instance, would not such exemption come under the head of class legisiation, which is clearly not legal? Again the taxes which would be 10st to the City and County from such a law must of necessity be raised by some other means. Mind I am strongly in favor of any proposition that will help to build up San_Francisco, and am only pointing out what I think the people would regard as class or special legislation. If itcan be shown to the people at large that such & iaw would be beneficial to them, in spite of the increased taxation, I am sure that there would be little or no opposition. As a manuiacturer I would be greatly benefited by such a law, and I think it-would be the means of making San Francisco the greatest manufac- turing center west of St. Louis. It is entitled to this by right of Jocation alone, and I believe it will uitimately-become so. Mr. Pease of the Goodyear Rubber Com- pany said: It is not s0 much exemption from taxation that San Francisco manufacturers need as it is protection from the cheap eastern freight rates and the high price of fuel. Of course, freedom from taxation would be of great as- sistance, and I concur in all that Mr. Leggett has said, but freight rates and coal are the main things to contend with. Freight is shipped into 8an Francisco from New York at an average rate of $1. St. Louis, Kansas City and other Middle Western cities have identi- cally the same rate. Chicago is about 10 cents less. Coalis about three times as expensive here as it is in the East, while labor is better paid in San Francisco than it is in New York. With all these conditions confronting us, 1 am afraid that the mere act of exempting manu- facturers from taxation will not accomplish what we would like. 1 am a member of the Manufacturers’ Associ- ation and willing to do all in my power to bring about the desired result—that is more manufacturers—butIam afraid that it must be done in some other way than by freedom from taxation. Asanevidence that what I say is true let me cite one fact. San Francisco, with only one railroad, actually pays a less rate on its Eastern goods than Portland with three or four transcontinental lines. How are we go- ing to compete with Eastern manufacturers with such a condition as this confronting us? B. Wood of the Columbian Woolen Milis said: Mr. Leggett’s idea is & good one and would 1y benefitand build up San Francisco manufactures wonderfully. But there are other things to be considered. For instance there are no mechanics here. That is the greatest drawback of all, and it is due to the luu‘tllmlhome people do not patronize home industries. The manufacturer was and is a slave. His machinery, his merchandise, his ail were morigaged to others, He must keep his ma- chinery going in order to liquidate his just debts. " To do this he must have workmen, but where could he procure them? To this there was but one answer—in the very heart of Chinatown. The reason of this was that our boys ana_girls refused to learn trades which held forth no inducement for the future. They were aware that there was no protection for them, because there was no marketat home. Time and again_have I advertised for white help, and it has been with the utmost difficulty that our factory is finally filled with white labor. I believe, as before stated, that the true solution to the problem of attracting manu- incturers to our City lies in patronizing those already here. te the demand for home- made goods by buying them and manufactories ;}\llrn(m be seen springing up all over San ranc THE FIRST WIFE'S CLAIM, Mrs. Henrietta Heydenfeldt Demands a Community Share of Her Hus- 3 band’s Estate. The legal troubles of the Heydenfeldt family were resumed yesterday, Mrs. Hen- rietta Haydenfeldt filing a complaint in which she claims a commnunity interest in the property that was deeded away by Judge Solomon Heydenfeldt before his death. Mrs. Heydenfeldt declares in this com- plaint that she married the Judge in 1853. Two children that were born died in in- fancy. Soon after that Judge Heydenfeldt formed irregular habits of ife. "His wife, the plaintiff, left him, but s. e declares that no divorce wasever obtained, and that the two alleged wives of later years have no title under the law. : In 1864, continues the complaint, Cathe- rine Collins took the name of Mrs. Hey- denfeldt and was known as the Judge's wife, and in 1874 the Judge transferred his affections to Elizabeth Howard. Each of these became the mother of scveral chil- ren. The plaintiff charges that Catherine Collins, by fraud, induced Judge Heyden- feldt to transfer to her and her children firoperty worth $200,000, and that Elizabeth oward, the third wife, obtained control of $393,000 of property in the same way. The first wife claims a community interest in the whole estate, and she asks that the deeds be annulled. S e EPISCOPAL SCHOOLS. Quarterly Meeting of the Institute in Advent Church Last Evening. The San Francisco Sunday-school Insti- tute of the Episcopal Church held one of its quarterly meetings in the Church of the Advent last evening. There were some very good papers read and discussed, and one of the teachers brought her class to the meeting and gave a practical illustration of her method of teaching the Scriptures to tne children. Rev. E.J. Lion of St. Stephen’s Church presided. He announced that the secre- tary, Rev. Mr. Lacy, had resigned, and an election was immediately held, which placed Rev. M. D. Wilson 'in the vacancy. A paper on “The SBunday-school teacher, what siie should be, and how she should teach,” was the subject of an interesting paper by Mme. Pechin. A discussion up- on the subject followed, and ther Miss Spalding brought out her class. The social element in Sunday-school work was also brought under discussion. ALONG THE WATER FRONT, Death of a Seaman on Board the British Iron Ship Laomene. Captain and Mrs. Woodslide and the Officers of the Bawnmore Have Arrived. The British ship Tasmania came in yes- terday, fifty-nine days from Hongkong. She showed a clean bill of health and was permitted to anchor in the harbor. The British ship Laomene arrived yes- terday, 158 days from Liverpool. On July 10, while working through a furious north- west gale off Cape Horn, she was boarded by a heavy sea, which played havoc around the decks. A seaman named Joseph Perry was knocked down, dashed against the spare spars and killed. He was a native of Wales, aged 60 years. The steamer Arcata, which arrived yes- terday from the north, brought down Cap- tain and Mrs. Woodside, First Officer Caml)bell, Engineers Semple and Mec- Cutchen and Steward Moody of the wrecked steamer Bawnmore. Captain Woodside reports that the iron hull is still hard and fast in the sand, and will remain there in all probability till doomsday. Among the unfortunate passengers were E. E. Edmonson and wife, who were bound for South America. They are poor people, and as they lost everything in the wreck, they feel the disaster keenly. There are nine customs officers quaran- tined on board the City of Rio Janeiro who are watching that nothing getsin orout of the vessel. A dispatch yesterday from Port Alegre says that the British bark Glendune, bound from Hamburg to Port Los Angeles, is ashore on the South American coast in 31 deg. south latitude. Sheis broadside on in sixteen feet of water. The Harbor Commissioners recently sent out a letter of inquiry to all heads of de- partments asking as to the number of em- ployes, and judgment asto the advisability of reducing the number. This inquiry went to the superintendents of repairs, of tugs and dredgers, of painting, the chief wharfinger and the chief engineer. In the responses thus far received the keynote of economy seems to receive no, echo. Superintendent Mayo of the paint- ing department says that owing to the ap- proaching rains and the need of painting skylights and roofs he needs all the four men he has. Superintendent Haste of the tugs and dredgers says that so far from doing with fewer than twenty-nine men, he really needs more, and asks for three more men, at least, for the fire tug. Su- perintendent Patterson admits that he can get along with less than thirty-eight men, and suggests that the heads of five be taken off. The mails that came by the Rio will be landed this morning, having been thor- oughly fumigated. The British ship Miltiades arrived yes- terday from Newcastle, N.S. W., with a cargo of 1360 tons of coal, ST. LUKE'S MEDICAL MISSION. Plans to Make It More Prosperous and Beneficial for the Needy, The promoters of St. Luke’s Medical Mission met in the basement of the First Baptist Church last evening to discuss plans to make the institution more pros- perous and beneficial. 1t was suggested that the lady directors of the hospital be appointed by the govern- ing bodies of the churches which they represent, in order to give them more autherity to carry on their work of gather- ing subscriptions. This was about tlie only business of the meeting. The medical mission has been established for about three months. Its plan is to offer to the sick poor the benefits of a re- liable medical service without charge, and to make this work the medium of personal evangelization. - The officers are: Mrs. H. A. Keeler, president; Miss Aaron Stein, treasurer, and Mrs. C. E. Rice, secretary. The physicians upon_the staff so far are: Drs. Albert Wheeler, Hayes, C. French, P. Brett, Morgan and Mrs. Dr. C. L. Guild. The headquarters are at 409 Mason street. e Oeslsre HE LOST HIS TRAIN. Vice-President Stubbs Has an Adventure on the Union Pacific System. Third Vice-President J. C. Stubbs of the Southern Pacific had quite an adventure at Granger, on the Union Pacific, a few days ago. He was on the way East with his wife and family. At Granger he alighted to speak to some friends on the Oregon Short Line train, While doing so his train moved off. Stubbs shouted and ran in pursuit, but the trainhands, all uncon- scious of the dignitary they were leaving behind, made no_effort to stop the train. After a sharp chase Mr. Stubbs caught hold of the rear rail of the last platform, but the train was going too fast and he could not hold on. He fell and was well scratched and shaken up. He returned to Granger, wired the eastbound train at the next station, and then securing a special engine, went after the lost train and caught it. It is understood that his tem- {;er was more disturbed by reason of the ncident than any other part of his an- atomy. The yarn reached the City to-day and caused a lot of amusement among railroad men. A S — AQTING FOR OHARITY. There Is Much Interest in ‘“As You Like It.”” The ladies’ entertainment committee of the Channing Auxiliary has made arrange- ments for a brilliant presentation of “As You Like It”” at Mayor Sutro’s residence at the Heights at 2 o’clock Saturday. The entertainment is entirely for charity and permission will probably be granted by the Board of Education to have tickets sold at half price (50 cents) to the students of the grammar and normal schools. One of the interesting features of the resentation will be the appearance of Miss E‘rench of San Francisco, whoee histrionic abilities have elicited favorable mention by competent critics. Miss Coghlan, Mr. Dixey and Mr. Barry- more say they have long desired the oppor- mniti to tali in the open air of California and ]:‘ ey will throw much spirit into their wor! HONORING THE PRELATE, Thousands Assembled to Greet His Grace the Most Rev. P. W. Riordan. HUNDREDS ARE TURNED AWAY Hon. J. F. Sulllvan Dellvers the Ad~ dress of Welcome—Church and State Defined. The clergy and laity of the archdiocese of San Francisco tendered Archbishop P. W. Riordan a reception at Metropolitan Tem- ple last night. The day selected served a double purpose, as 1t was the twelfth an- niversary of the Archbishop’s connection with this diocese, and also his first public appearance since returning from Europe. A larger assemblage was never seen in Metropolitan Temple than was gathered last night. By 7:30 o’clock every available seat in the vast auditorium was occupied, and before the exercises commenced hundreds were grouped in the aisles and along the walls. It wasan occasion to be remembered, and Archbishop Riordan felt deeply the honor that was being done him and the evident love and esteem in which he is held by laity and clergy alike. The evening’s programme began with a march of welcome splendidly rendered by the League of the Crass orchestra, followed by a few introductory remarks from Chair- man John M. Burnett. Then came the event of the evening in the address of wel- come, delivered by the Hon. J. F. Sullivan. The speaker referred at length to the his- tory of the Catholic church in America, and the recent attacks of so-called lovers fr liberty. His addressin part is as fol- ows: As a wanderer returned from foreign lands we, representing the clergy and laity under your charge as the Archbishop of San Fran- ¢isco, bid you weicome home. During your absence we have observed your movements and hage been proud to note that on the occasion of the centenary cebebration of the great Catholic Seminary of Maynooth you were called upon to represent the Ameri- can hierarchy. And again’ we note with pleasure the fact that on the occasion of the jubilee of that patriot and priest, the Archbishop of Cashel and Emly, you were present to represent so worthily the race from which you sprung, the church of which you are so distinguished a Tepresentative and the country of which you areso true a citizen. This day has been selected for our neetinf, because it is an anniversary ever memorab to you, because it consecrated you to the higher priesthood of your church; and memo- rable to us because it consecrated the best efforts of your life to the development of the Catholic church in California and to the intel- lectual and moral development of the Ameri- can Catholic citizens abiding in the archdio- cese of San Francis Twelve years ago this day vou were selected to become the coadjutor of the sainted Arch- bishop Alemany—a man beloved and respected by all who knew him and his works. early twelve years have now elapsed since you first assumed exclusive charge of this arch- diocese. During your administration you have atall times manifested that tireless, progres- sive spirit that betokens your growth and de- velopment in that city by the great lake which stands to-day fully representative of the heart and conscience and progress of the Nation. Since you have been with us we have seen the unsightly sandhill of Van Ness avenue give way to the grand metropolitan Cathedral of St. Mary’s erected under your supervision as & worthy temple to the ever-living God. The Franciscan friar, who more than a hun- dred years ago stood beside the Spanish soldier in view of our Golden Gate, claiming this peninsula for civilization and Christianity, long an exile from our City, has been by you welcomed back to this City of St. Francis and setto work in the vineyard of the Lord, to labor among our American Catholics of Ger- man origin, We have seen from year to year church ater church erected in our City, atiest- ing alike your zeal and energy and the growth ot our church in this City. In refutation of the slanderous charge so often made that the Catholic church delights in illiteracy, we have seen from year to year, in the very shadow of our churches, one s¢hool after another erected in order that the intel- lectual might keep pace with the moral de- velopment of our youth., We have seen you lay the foundations of a great seminary for the education of a native priesthood, who, in vears to come, will speak the ever-living truths of the Catholie church. In tendering to you some expression of our sentiments and of our respect and loyalty we stand here as Americans and as Catholics; we stand here as children of that church, the citizens of every clime, the friend of every color, the child of every race, the church which walks abroad in the ubiquity of her benevolence. We stand here as children of a church which exists throughout all the world notwithstanding the varieties of government and the vicissitudes of country, a church hav- ing no object but the absolute happiness of man, and knowing no bounds but the extremi- ties of creation. The American Catholic is sometimes re- garded by his fellow-citizens as especially re- gardful of the duties of his religion, and, on that account, as being unmindful of the duties that he owes the state. Itis, indeed, true that American Catholics are singularly loyal in their adherence to tbe teachings and practice ot their faith, but it l’nli‘l likewise be sald, with truth, that in 8o far as they observe strictly the teachings of their church they become better qualified for the responsible duties of American citizenship and more worthy of iheir enjoy- ment. As Americans, we believe in the underlying principles of our Government: we hope for the maintenance and perpetuation of her institu- tion®in all their integrity. We feel that there is no antagonism between the teachings of the Catholic church and those sacred principles of human liberty upon which our country's greatness has been builded up. * * * No! Catholics wish no union of church and state upon Americen soil. Thei' desire no blending of functions] essentially distinct. They desire the perpetuation of the principles recognized in the first amendment to the Con- stitution of the United States, which provides that “Congress thall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or mhibhlng the free exercise thereof,” and embodiea likewise in the declaration of rights found in the con- stitution of our own State of California, which holds that: “The free exercise and enjoyment of religious profession and worship without discrimination or preference shall forever be guaranteed in this State.” Catholics seek merely that which is the due of every citizen—equal treatment and protec- tion in consideration of equal loyalty and sup- ort—such treatment as they were ‘pmmlud by him who stood *““first in war, first in peece and first in the hearts of his countrymen”—the im- mortal Washington. 29 The history of every State in the American Union will bear witness to the fact that the Catholic population respects the sentiment of equal religious liberty to all and of undivided Joyalty of citizens of all classes of faith to the common government of all. At times, during the excitement of political campaigns, inter- ested persons, working for the spoils of office rather than the good of the country, have sought to combine politics and religion, to the serious detriment of both, This charge cannot be justly made against Catholics. Their priests have not participated in political conventions. They have not pros- tituted their pulpits or their “sacred offices to partisan political purposes. They have not sought public stations. They have not pro- truded themselves ostentatiously at the polls 10 exercise their purely civil rights, Notwithstanding the facts of our history and the tolerant character of the Catholic popula- tion of this country, we find that in recent years an attempt has been made to revive the rancor, the religious and race prejudices of idea has been an early day, and the p"v’ip““ed from pulpit and rostrum, and more especially from the rostrum, that there is a deep - laid conspiracy among the Catholics of this country to make the great American Rugmbllo a derendency of the Pope of Rome. But this claim and the calumny and vituperation that attend it can- not make any permanent impression upon the fair-minded people of this Republic. Our peo- ple believe too much in mvemgmnfi the facts and passing fair and impartial judgment in the light of facts. * * * ‘What has been the conduct of the Catholic citizens upon American soil ? How have they conducted themselves during the growth of this, the greatest and best Republic in the world ? Have they done their full proportion of the work in laying the foundation of the Government and rearing the superstructure of her greatness ? Have they shown & due appre- ciation of the blessings of civil and religious liberty ? Were they royalists or traitors in the mighty struggle that the colonists waged for human freedom ? In the council chamber where the Declara- tion of Independence was formulated they were to be found. The Catholic Carroll of Car- rollton was there and he 1t was who jeopard- ized the greatest fortune that was involved in the signing of the paper when he set his name to that second Magna Charta which declared that the American Colonies were, and of right ought to be, free and independent States. * * * 'he essential distinction between the eivil and ecclesiastical jurisdictions recognized by the founders of the Republic, and so well un- derstood by Catholics, is, at times, misappre- hended, and the assertion is made that Catho- lics render civil allegiance to a_foreign Prince, the Roman Pontiff. “As Catholics we recognize his jurisdiction in purely ecclesiastical matters, but” the acknowledgment of that jurisdiction is in no way inconsistent with our civil al- legiance to our country,our social duties as citizens, or our rights as men. One land only claims our allegiance as citizens, and that is the land of our hearts, hope and home. * * * To-night, then, we are gathered here as Cath- olics, 28 Americans. We stand here as loyal citizéns of the republic. We greet you and bid vou welcome to your home and to our midst because we recognize in you a worthy type of the higher priesthood of our chureh; because we recognize in you a fit laborer with that true American, Cardinal Gibbons, with the venerable Aschbishop Wil- liams of Boston, with the distinguished Dr. Keane of the Catholic University of Wash- ington, with_the illustrious Archbishop Ryan of Philadelphia, with John Ireland of St. Paul, the consecrated blizzard of the Northwest. We greet you as worthy minister of the Catholic church. We greet you as a distinguished type and exemplar of an American citizen, one, who, at all times and in all presence, deems it alike his duty and his pleasure to proclaim his loyalty to this country and to her institutions. Several times during the delivery of the address the audience broke forth in tumultuous applause, that was only equaled when Archbishop Riordan arose to say a few words in reply, “Iam glad to be back in San Francisco,” the Archbishop said. *“Iam out of place elsewhere, and do not feel at home where the stars and stripes do not float. When the ship came in sight of Fire Island I felt like a boy returning from school, whose heart gave one big throb when he came to the street leading to his father's home. The Bishop has little hard work to do. What has been done here has been done by the c]erfy and laity. Ilove San Fran- cisco, and I'love the people of my diocese. “In_spite of the abuse that has been heaped upon the Catholic church it has grown from one Bishop in Baltimore over 100 years ago, and_a few priests scattered along the Atlantic coast, to a powerful body numbering some 10,000,000 or 12,000,- 000 souls. Whatis more, it will continue to grow. I thank you for this evidence of your love and esteem, and I wish it were 50 that I could visit each one personally. My time is not my own, howeyer-—it be- longs to the church.” on. John M. Burnett was president of the evening, the following vice-presi- dents also occupying seats on the stage: Frank J. Sullivan, P.

REGULATING THE TRAINS, One Ogden Overland Less After November 1 Causes Sharp Comment. An Omaha Critic Talks About Star- vatlon Policy—A Chat With a Rallroad Official. After November 1 next there will be only one overland train daily each way between here and Ogden. This decision was reached recently by the Southern Pacific managers in this City after an extended correspondence with its railway connections at Ogden. The Union Pacific managers have objected to this pro- posed cutting down of the service, and during the past two months there hasbeen correspondence on the subject. Eastern critics of the Southern Pacific have claimed that what they call the Huntington Syndicate is starving the TUnion Pacific to death by cutting down the service on the Central Pacific. They charactérize the taking off of one train per day a part of the scheme and call upon Congress_to_ require that the Central Pa- cific and Union Pacific be operated as one continuous road in order that the interests of the latter may be protected. When General Passenger Agent Good- man of the Southern Pacific read this yesterday he smiled wearily. *‘We are keeping up our Central Pacific business simply to keep pace with the de- mands of travel,”” said he. “My under- standing is that one of the trains between here and Ogden—the morning second-class train—is to be taken off, but no orders have yet been given, and they will of course be given by the operating depart- ment. “This talk about hampering the Union Pacific sounds odd when it is remembered that two years ago, and again last year as the winter season approached, the Union Pacific opened up correspondence and asked that one of the through (rains be taken off. At that time our people would not agree to do so, and now when we pro- pose to do as they suggested originally the plan is objected to. “All the northern roads are now running only one through train daily. Weare run- ning only one on the Sunset route, and the present signs are that we can handle all the Central Pacific business with one train. We will run both second and first class coaches on our evening train, taking off the 7 A. M, train. People prefer always to see the Sierras by daylight, and for the Jory of the State I should much prefer eeping on the two trains that leave here at 7 A. M. and Ogden at 2:25 ». M. But the mails have to be accommodated, and for this reason we will in all probability ke up the trains that leave here at 6 p. M. ani Ogden at 1 A. M. “It's true, too, that travelers like an evening train better. For this reason, hriely, we are going to change the time of the through New Orleans train. After October 4 it will leave here at 5:30 . u., in- stead of 9 A. M. as at present, and thelocal train, to Los Angeles only, will leavein the morning. The whole matter is that dur- ing the winter season, when travel over the Central Pacific is llgll’xt and there is more or less delay possible by reason of storms, we will run only one train. It will be a through train as now, sleepers going through to Chicago.” AT THE CITY THEATERS, Pauline Hall’s Bright Acting Wins Applause at the Baldwin. IDA VALERGA IN THE “LUCIA” A Great Scenic Play at Morosco’s. Pearl Andrews’ Baggage. Grover’s Alcazar. There were enough humorous situations, pretty music and sprightly acting in the comedy produced by Pauline Hall and her company last night to win hearty ap- plause from a large audience at the Bald- win Theater. Although one of Miss Hall’s titles is said to be the “queen of comic opera,” her latest work, “Dorcas,” is not really a light opera, but a musical comedy something of the “Mlle. Nitouche” type, where songs, duets, quartets, etc., are interspersed occa- sionally in the dialogue, but where there 13 no comic-opera chorus. “Doreas” is a bright, amusing work, that in- creases in interest as the action progresses. A good deal of the amusement springs from & disguise within a disguise assumed by the heroine. Lady Honoria first masquerades as & peddler, in order to find out the character of the young man she is to marry. In this role she stays at the village inn, and discovering that her dissipated brother, whom she has not seen for years, is Frepanng to lay desperate siege to the heart of “Dorcas,” the innkeeper’s pretty wife, the supposed peddler offers to assume the disguise of a woman and go to the hall to impersonate Dorcas. The innkeeper, who is of a somewhat jealous nature, jumps at the offer and some amusing complications ensue. With the exception of this little intrigue the lot of “Doreas” cannot be called very original. he work recalls “Dorothy” in its scenes of bucolic English life, as well as in its rustic innkeeper with whose domestic_ felicity the “quality” from the hall meddle in the same unwarrantable manner. A good many of the characters are also familiar friends, particu- larly the version of Mrs. Malaprop, who in “Doreas” is maid to the dissivated Earl’s wife, and who makes such remarks as My Lady. yow're too liniment with him.” This role is played in a spirited and accept- able manner by Miss Eva Davenport, aided by a balloon-like crinoline, which greatly en- hances her powers of comedy. The innkeeper is another character who makes fierce assaults upon what may be called the “Queen’s Eng- lish,” since the action is supposed to pass in England. < As for the music of “Dorcas,” most of it is original and all of it is charming. There was scarcely a number that was not encored, and some songs had to be repeated more than ongce. One of the prettiest melodies was the “Chess” duet, sung by the Earl's wife, Miss Jeanette St. Henry, and the tenor, Edgar Tem- le Saylor, as they played a game of chess. Fhe melody was written in minuet time and was_altogether charming. “Let Us Drink to the Lass,” “A Flower Is but a Flower,” “Lady Mine,” etc., were all numbers that received well-deserved encorss. Miss Hall acted her part in & bright and spirited manner, and her singing found con- siderable favor.” The_first act, when she ap- pears as the peddler, does not give her many opportunities, but in the drawing-room scene, where the innkeeper tries to teach her to walk and talk like a woman, she begins to make the real impression of the evening, and from that point she kept her hold on her audience till the end of the comedy. Her song, “I See'l Must Endeavor to Imitate You I I Can,” was capi- tally rendered, as were also her other solos. . Edgar Temple Saylor, the tenor, made a sym- pathetic lover and Hugh Chilvers was good as the dissipated Earl. Miss Jeanette St. Henry, the Earl’s pretty wife, won almost as large a share of public favor as the star. Columbia Theater. The second week of “The District Attorney” opened last night to a house the well-filled condition of which showed that the powerful drama has hit the taste of the San Franciseo public. All the telling hits against political corruption were received with especial ap- plause and the whole performance was a repe- tition of last week’s success. In consequence of the You Like It” pro- duction next Saturday afternoon there will be no matinee on Saturday, but a *‘professional” matinee of ‘“The District Attorney” will be given at the Columbia Theater on Thunudl:‘y afternoon, to which the companies of the Bald- win, Tivoll, Morosco’s Orphenum, and other the- aters will be invited to attend. Tivoli Opera-House, The popularity of grand opera at the Tivoli was shown by the large audience that greeted the production of “Lucia de Lammermoor” last night. Ida Valerga sang the role of the ill-fated heroine, a part in which she has won success both in Europe and America. Her perform- ance last night was a distinct success, particu- larly in the mad scene where she acted ana sang with & fervor and_abandon that brought her four eurtain-calls at the conelusion of the act, John J. Raffael made an excellent Henry Ashton, both his singing and his acting left little to be desired. Martin Pache was ap- plauded as Lord Edgar of Ravenswood and the rest of the cast as well as the chorus and or- chestra were good. Morosco’s Opera-House. The revival at Morosco’s Grand Opera-house of “The Great Metropolis,” the greatest of all American melodramas, and the promise, which was faithfully kept, that there would be pre- sented some splendid scenery, attracted a large number of people to this house last night. The play, which was produced at this place about & year ago, was a great drawing card then, and in view of the added attractions it is sure to draw crowded houses during the time it shall remain on the boards. The play abounds in startling situations and anumber of beautiful tableaux, all of which were received with very demonstrative marks of a] prg\'nl. The most striking scene was the Snllgy ook Life-saving Station, fitted up with such apparatus as is used at the United States stations. In the midst of a jollification, in which the majority of the crew take part,a storm arises, the wind howls, the pattering rain is heard, as is also distant thunder, while occasional flashes of lightning illumine the scene. The lightning is not of the old-fashioned kind, but is produced by electricity, and is more like the genuine article than anything that has ever been put on the stage. While drinking the health of one Jack Holt, one of the crew, a danger-signal is heard, the crew passes out of the station with its apparatus, and then for a moment the stage is darkened. Then in the darkness there is revealed by the flash of the lightning the crew on the shore, & lifeline stretched to a wrecked vessel on the rocks in _the distance, and shipwrecked mari- ners are being rescued by meansof the breeches buoy. The painted scenery by Henry Schlot and the working of the life-saving apparatus by the shore crew produced a most realistic pic- ture, and so much pleased was the audience that the curtain had to be raised three times upon it. H. Coulter Brinker had an excellent character in Jack Holt, and rendered it with the precision that always marks that actor’s interpretation of the drematist’s ideas. He was ably supported by his shipmate, “The Dook” (Alice Condon), who ncted the partof a little sailor in & manner that won much ap- plause for her. Florence Thorppe, the new soubrette, is a valuable addition to the com- pany. She is a clever actress, is very graceful and has a good stage presence. The other characters were well sustained. The Orpheum. There was both delight and disappointment at the Orpheum last night. The delightof the large audience was in witnessing the many artistic numpers presented; the disappoint- ment made itself manifest when the stage manager appeared before the curtain and made a little speech. He said that he was very sorry to announce that Miss Pearl Andrews, the queen of mimics and renowned dialect comedienne, could not appear. “The lady,” said he, “is hiere,” and with that drew the cur- tain back to make way for Miss Andrews to come from the first left entrance. Bhe was attired in street costume of dark material and smiled sweetly as she bowed. “The lady,” continued the manager, “‘cannot appear before you to-night because her bag- gage is not here, not having arrived at the ROYAR Baking Powder Absolutely Pare same time she did. It is not the fault of Direc- tor Walters, nor that of his assistant, Mr. Mor- risey, but of the railroad compnng." ugh J. Emmett, the musical humorist and ventriloquist, entertained and greatly amused the andience’ by his specialties. “The coming woman,” bloomers and all, & new :pccilll{ by Moreland, Thompson and Bush, was well re« ceived, as were the other numbers. Grover’s Alcazar. “Everybody’s Friend” and ‘‘A Ringer,” of- fered at Grover’s Alcazar, and which hasa. ready been noticed at length, drew a large au- dience last evening, and it was a bill that pleased, for the onlookers were in a state of merriment from the rise to the fall of the cur- tain. The management hasstruck the popular taste, and it will certainly receive its share of the patronage of our theater-going people. A BOLD YOUNG ROBBER. He Enters a Man’s Store at Night, Asks to See a Watch and Then Runs Away With It. A very bold robbery of its kind was com- mitted at a late hour last night by a young man just out of his teens. He gave the name of George Puttman when he was locked up at the California-street station, and said he was a clerk. He entered Abraham Cohen’s store at 1202 Stockton street and asked to see & watch, Cohen showed him a silver watch, but that not suiting one of gold was pro- duced. Puttman examined this one for a moment and then dashed out the door with it, being vursued by the aged pro- prietor, whose cries attracted the attention of Policeman Tracey of Sergeant Shea's Chinatown squad. A chase was given him and he was caught in Cum Cook alley and walked off to the station. When he was searched there was found on his person a brick with a Chinese mat wrapped around it—a sort of improvised weapon with which, it is supposed, Putt- man intended to give Cohen a blow on the head if he made any resistance or other trouble. He was booked for robbery. THE LABOR BUREATU. The State Printer Will Furnish All Printed Matter Required. The snbject of printed matter for the State Labor Bureau has at last been set- tled. A month or so ago the State Printer, in a letter to the Labor Commissioner, in- timated that the latter had already drawn upon the printing office for too much mat- ter, and that he had better not put in orders for much more. This would have to a great extent crippled the usefulness of the bureau, and a letter to this effect was sent to the State Printer. Yesterday the latter answered that he had no disposition to cramp the bureau in printed matter. The Commissioner's demand had been much larger than that of his predecessors, The State Printer is willing to print all reports, but advertising matter cannot be handled in the State offict NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS.
