The Steamer Lakme WIIl Replace the Humboldt on the Eureka Route. The Parker Transportation Company’s new steamer Fruitvale has departed for her scene of labors. On Saturday last she had her trial trip, and proved to be a great success. All kinds of sharp turns were made with her in shallow water, and she was found up to all expectations. The new steamer will run between Rio Vista and Sacramento, and the steamers of the California Transportation Com- pany will connect with the new line. The steamers of the latter concern do not go much beyond Rio Vista, and from there passengers have to take a stage coach. The advent of the Fruitvale will do away with the stage coach, and thus add greatly to the pleasure of a trip to Sacramento by steamer. There were q\lité a number of changes on the Stockton steamers last week. Cap- tain Benson took command of the Mary Garratt, and Captain Schuler was trans- ferred to the T. C. Walker. W.C. Wall, the purser, was transferred from the T. C. Walker to the J. D. Peters. The bark Alden Bessie will sail for Port Blakeley next Friday to load lumber for Honolulu. Captain” Potter says he ex- pects to make the smartest run of the sea- son, as his vessel is in fine order and ready to sail a race for a cup. Captain Potter is paying the full rate of wages. "he steamer Homer is still on the dr{- dock. She came into port with her cran! pin broken and it was thought that the re- pairs to the machinery would be all that was necessary. When the vessel came to be floated off it was found that her rudder was split and that a new one would have to be put in. This will cause a delay of several days. The steamer Lakme, which arrived from the Arctic last Tuesday, was chartered yesterday by the owners of the steamer umboldt, and will be put in commission between Eureka and Arcata. As soon as the charter was signed the work of dis- charging the Arctic freight was hurried and the work of remodeling the vessel begun. Cabins will be built on the main deck and the lower deck compartments be thoroughly remodeled. The Lakme will be a good substitute for the Humboldt until the new steamer is bailt. The British ship Galena, which arrived from Swansea yesterday, had a narrow escape while rounding Cape Horn. When in latitude 57 degrees south, longitude 87 degrees 30 minutes west, Captain Reid found that he was next door neighbor to an enormous iceberg. The ship was hove to and placed under topsails until sll dan- er was past. While in the vicinity of the gerg several of the crew were badly frost- bitéen, as the weather turned exceedingly cold. The San Joaquin Valley road is losing RO time in its preparations for putting the construction trains upon the rozd. Over 600 tons of coal will be taken out of the British:ship Lismore, now lying at Green- street wharf, and placed on the barge Hills Ferry next Friday. Once the transfer is made the steamer Leader will take the barge in tow and pull it to Stockton. MIDWEEK THEATER NOTES, Play of “Trilby” Has Proved to Be More Than a Mere Fad. English Opera Holds the Boards at the Tivoli—‘Rosedale” at the Alcazar. There is always a certain amount of un- certainty in San Francisco about the suc- cessof aplay that has been a faa else- where, for the theater-going public here does not take its drama upon hearsay, but judges for itself. The large audiences, however, that continue to attend the Baldwin Theater are a palpable proof of the fact that “Trilby’’ has not had merely a first night’s success, but that its weird interest, added to its shadowy resemblance to Du'Maurier's novel, have proved a highly attractive combination. Lackaye's skillful portrait of Svengali continues to be the main point of interest in the play, after, of course, the gratifica- cation the audience appears to find in recognizing the characters of the novel in flesh and blood. Lackaye dominates the play, as the dramatist intended he should, but it would be dificult to overrate, the skillful manner in which he accomplishes his destiny. The good Taffy and his iriend, the Laird, are apt to become & bit wearisome, but their very heaviness is a splendid foil to the magnetic Svengali. The mercurial, depraved Zou Zou, a splendid bit of character acting in the hands of Ignacio Martinetti, never fails to win him rounds of applause. Miss Crane’s good looks alone have proved sufficient to bring the audience to her feet, though she never once lays them bare to the admiring gaze of ‘““les trois Inglices,” as the real Trilby is supposed to have done. The last week of the Stockwell Company 18 drawing excellent houses at the Columbia Theater, where & good production of the “Magistrate’ keeps every one in high good humor from the rise to the fall of the curtain. Stockwell is in his element in impersonating the misguided Posket, who allows himself to be led aside from the straight and narrow path of decorum bf' his own stepson, and then de- livers moral lectures to one of his companions in misdoing, because he himself has not been found out. Stockwell scems to fairly revel in the unctiouspess of his hypocrisy. Dixey makes & finished study of the Shropshire fusilier, and Richman has an opportunity of I;'pwmg his versatility as the fiery Bengal officer. The highly romantic scenes in “Rosedale’ continue to be done full justice by the com- peny at Grover's Alcazar, and in addition to the acting the pln’rY is_well mounted and the scenery realistic. The interest centers princi- pally round Hereward Hflile, who plays Elliot Gray splendidly. Little Mildred, the ¢hild he rescies from the gypsy camp, a1so acts charm- ingly. All the parts, however, are satisfac- torliy acted, and the play arouses considerable applause, The sccond week of the Milton Nobles season &t the Grand Opera-house shows no diminution in the interest which the opening perform- ances Created. The Staging at Morosco’s is always excellent, butin “From Eire to Son” special attention has been paid to realistic and striking eficcis. The play itself s in many re- spectsa thrilling one, and it_is cleverly and conscientiously acted, Milton Nobles especialiy distinguishing himself as Alfred Armitage. Edna Hall in her dual role is good,and the other members of the large castare all in ex- cellent hands.

Actor Stockwell Having a Vexatious Time in the Justices’ Court. _Actor Stockwell's creditors are coming down upon him from all directions. It has just dawned upon them that he will leave the City in a few days, and that in order to get anything they must do some very lively work. - 5 When Stockwell first came. here, some seven weeks ago, he made them all very fair ‘promises that he was going to work, like the late lamented Tom Bishop, in a “fat” part to pay them off. They have been waiting ever since with increasing J ol 0P gy =L oA CONVENT#ON AT THE OCERISTIAN the machinery in position and arrange the details necessary to place the road in operation. The line will in all probability be in working order inside -of two weeks. THe citizens of Richmond purpose call- ing a public meeting soon to take steps to- ward properly celebrating thisevent. In speaking of this matter yesterday T. G. Parker said: *'The event of opening the Sutro electric line will mark the most im- portant event of the year to the citizens of this part of San Francisco. The tide of travel to the Cliff House being thus turned in this direction will show the pub- lic_the advantages of this point as a residence portion of the City. This will be, I anticipate, of the first value to this sec- tion. The citizens all along the line of road will, I think. gladly join in contrib- uting liberally to make the celebration one long to be remembered. The fireworks on that occasion will be of the first order and ample to make the Heights one blaze of lory.” & It’is expected that Warren & Malley, who have the contract for grading the lot of land lying between Eighth and Four- teenth avenues, A street and Golden Gate Park, will soon begin that work. PADEREWRKI COMING. The Great Pianist at Last Booked to Appear Before a San Francisco Audience. Paderewski is to play in San Francisco. For three years negotiations have been pending, but heretofore have been with- out result. In1892 0dd Fellows' Hall was hired for a series of eleven concerts. Then Ignace Jan Paderewski, the Polish Pianist. [From a recent photograph.) the great pianist became afflicted with rheumatism, and went home without coming West. Last winter his manager, John C. Fryer, again entered into correspondence with a local firm, seeking to make a satisfactory agreement. Mr. Fryer wanted the Grand Opera-house, which bad just been rented by Walter Morosco, and was not to be had. Hve considered the seating capacity of the Metropolitan Temple too small to insure a aufl{;fliently large house. His sine qua non was that the house should be so large that the gross receipts might exceed $4000. This would insure the great Polish artist an addition- of at least $2500 to_his bank account for each concert. While the advisability of the Metropolitan Temple was being discussed, Paderewski decided that he wanted to go home, and_he sailed for Kurope on very short notice, aisap- pointing the San Francisco managers a second time. : This time there 18 said to be no possi- bility of a slip. The concerts are to be iven at the California Theater after the olidays, Thomas Keane giving up the stage to the' ““maestro.” aderewski is now in Germany. He opens in New York shortly before the %;Hdnys, and will complete his tour in the ‘est. Paderewski is to be under the manage- ment of the Al Hayman Company. They have also booked two other notables, Mans- field and Modjeska, who will appear at the Baldwin Theater later. e Asiatic'cholera is the most rapidly fatal disease known to medical science. 142 ballots, Mrs. Greene 7, Mrs. Sanford 1, Mrs. Everts 1; for recording secretary Mrs. Doreas J.

Mrs. Peet began her fourth year as presi- dent of the California branch of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. Altogether she has devoted twenty-two years of her life to the cause of temper- ance. There were no caucuses, nor pooling of issues, nor trading on the candidates. Each voter stood squarely for her own “woman,” and won or went down with the result. The question of finances was opened by Mrs. Kimball, who mentioned the urgent need of money in the coffers of the organ- ization. large number of unions throughout the State pledged various sums of money to be collected during the year. Dr. C. B. Bentley of Trinity Church and his wife entered thie hall as the balloting | for officers was going on. Being immedi- | ately called upon for an address, he took the opportunity to state that he wanted no office, and advised the convention not to vote for Mrs. Bentley either. He spoke of his school life with Miss Frances G. Wil- lard, and of her noble fight against intem- perance at the head of the union. A number of papers were read upon the need of more earnest effort in the work, and an entire consecration to the objects of the order. Nor was the topic of female suffrage forgotten. Several speakers, led by Miss Severance, floored and ver‘m]ly walked over the masculine opponents of the suffrage amendments till they were figuratively trampled out of recognition. rs. J. L. Everts, during her remarks upon spiritual progress, quoted the Prophet Ezekiel where he writes up the “pillow sleeves of certain ladies to whom he had taken a violent dislike.” Mrs. Everts said during her remarks: “The body is the temnle of God and when we defile it we sin, Sin is a barrier between us and God. Therefore we cannot make spiritual progress. We can be sinful in dressas well as in eating and drinking. Ezekiel says in chapter 13, verse 18, that there is a woe pronounced upon women who sew pillows to their armholes. Iam makers or the ones wearing the dresses will soon come under this woe, for we can hardly pass through a common door with- out turning sidewise. 5 “When we have our hearts stayed on God it makes little difference to us whether we are in the latest fashion ornot. We can afford to be called cranks—peculiar people.” ¥ The address of the evening, “The Sober Mind,” by Daniel Starr Jordan of Stanford University, pointed out tihe necessity of looking at things calmly and sensibly, and demt with the temperance question in an interesting and scientific way. *‘We find it sometimes difficult in our daily life,” said - the speaker, ‘“to distin- guish between things that are and shings that are not. To be able to separate the real from the unreal is an evidence of sanity. 2 “Of the three roots which bear up the dominion of man—knowledge, will and obedience, the most important is obedi- ence. ‘‘In nations the failure to do the right thing at the right time is followed b death. This applies to men as well. If disobedience to a rule of nature is pro- longed through several generations the fennlty is the final extinction of that line. Formerly every man had to make his own experience. Now, with the increase of civilization we find our experience already made. All truth that comes to us is trans- ferable to action. The tendency every- where is for truth to zo through the circuit of knowledge. Will obedience, sanity and safety go together? We mlf look “upon ourselves as the guardians of life—we are links in the long chain of heredity. All our ancestors had truth, otherwise we would not have been created. A de- gclency of truth begins a decline and eath. “The effect of stimulants on the brain is to weaken its power Qf acquiring truth and very much afraid that either the dress-| anxiety to receive something on account.

Stockwell was up for the second time yesterday on an order of examination be- THE ANGEL IS ATTACHED, A Deputy Sherlff Captures the Figment of Mr. Wells’ Fancy. TROUBLES OF THE STATUE. Collector Kittredge Tells of His Ex- perience In Pursuing the Sculptor. An angel spread 1ts white wings over one of Sheriff Whelan’s deputies last night as that imb of the law slumbered peacefully in the storehouse of Kriemer Brothers at 34 Jessie street. The angel’s plaster of paris smile was strangely out of place in such surroundings, for it was attached with the rest of Sculptor F. Marion Wells’ figure for the City, Hall dome. Mr. Wells’ angel, unlike those of old, was not warranted to go through fiery fur- naces unscathed. Conscious of this fact, the sculptor succumbed to the wiles of an insurance agent, and when he had put his original clay image into plaster form, he had the Patriotic- Assurance Company issue a $2500 policy for the protection of his beloved statue. The premium was $3750. This Mr. Wells neglected to pay as promptly as was expected. The insurance agent had such work finding the sculptor -that he turned the claim over to Collector A. G. Kittredge. Mr. Kittredge had no better lack. So, about three weeks ago, he brought suit | against Mr. 'Wells in the Justices’ Court. Then my fun commenced,” said Mr. Kittredge last night. *“The papers told about the suit, a his warned Wells, so that when my man tried to serve the notice of suit on him Wells wasn’t anywhere to be found. He dodged us for five days. Then I learned that he lived in Berkeley. “My man went across the bay and camped-in front of the sculptor’s house all ht. A little after 6 in the morning ells came downstairs. My man was overjoyed. He thought Wells was going to the City ana would thus enable him to serve the papers. Instead the sculptor went to Oakland. “Tired out and half starved, my man followed him all about that town till 10 o’clock. Then Wells went back to Berke- ley for lunch. Driven. to desperation the poor watcher subsided under a tree to wait longer, He was famished, but he dared not f;o for anything to eat lest Wells should depart in the meanwhile. “Finally his vigil was rewarded. Mr. Wells and his wife came out together and headed for the depot. They took the local train, but their shadow was not free from anxiety till they boarded the ferry. As scon as the sculptor walked off the boat and was well upon the scil of the City and County of San Francisco the bearer of the notice tapped his victim on the shoulder and said: ‘‘‘Here are some papers for you, Mr. Wells.’ **Oh, yes,’ said Wells, after he had looked the notice over, ‘that’s all right;, I'll be up and settle it in a few days. Then he proffered the papers to the man, who kindly advised him to keep them as he might ‘need them in his business.’”’ This was_the beginning of Mr. Wells’ troubles. He had five dfl{l in which to | answer the suit. As he failed to make any | appearance at all ‘Mr. Kittredge was given a judgment by default. But Mr. Kittredge was still at a loss He did not know where to get his judg- ment satisfied. At last he decided to gar- 06\:0’0:0\ /' | AV ‘ \‘\‘:"" A 00‘:\’ \ 7 / % fore Justice of the Peace Groezinger. His creditors were anxious to learn where any of his property is, so that they could at- tach it. Stockwell failed to remember where he had any available assets located. It was thought that Managers J. J. Gott- lob and M. Marx might know something about the Femntlge or salary coming to Stockwell from his work at the Columbia Theater. The managers were certain, though, that Stockwell was getting barely enough out of that venture to feed the flesh on his bones. All the witnesses examined were for Stockwell, so the actor emerged from the inquisition a financial wreck, much to his own satisfaction and the disgust of his creditors. He has promised some of them that he will give them some money after his re- turn from the south, and it looks very much as if they would have to content themselves with that promise.
