The Monowai will not have as many passengers as the Australia, but she will take away 2000 tons of 60 barrels of quantity of for Ban Francisco.

The account of the Senator’s trip was ubiished in Tue CaLL on November 10 ast, and judging from it the Iron Duke had very little chance. On August 26 the Senator was on her bcam ends, some of her spars carried away and everything movable went overboard. About that time the Iron Duke passed herand Captain Lewis says she was making heavy weather of it and appeared to be heavily loaded. ov salmon and an canned goods. The agents of the Occidental and Orien- tal Steamship Company laugh at the idea of anything havi happened to the big tramp steamer Evandale running in their line.

The first game of the winter polo tour- nament of the Burlingame Club was played on last Saturday. The teams were: Reds—W. 8. Hobart, Harold Wheeler, R. M. Tobin. Blues—C. A. Baldwin, Perry E. Eyre, R. H. Simpkins. The “‘reds” played carefully and covered the field much more effectively than their opponents, finally winning by three goals to one and a quarter. The winning team will play the remaining team on Sunday J. 8. Tobin, Malcolm Thomas and A. Fane-Waine- wright. The teams are evenly matched and a fine game may be expected, if the weather be good upon that aay. This match was to have been played on Satur- day, but was postponed so astogive an opportunity to the partrons of the horse show to see this game, which is expected to be exciting and interestin WAS A TEMPORARY TRAMIP Morrison J. Swift’s Method of Studying Labor Con- ditions. A Plea for Pity and Consideration for the Man Who Lives on the Road. “The day of the poor is at hand. It needs no Daniel to interpret the weird ‘Mene! Mene! Tekel, Upharsin!’ written on the wali of the modern Babylon.” The words were perhaps the more im- pressive because uttered by Morrison J. Swift in his usual Jow conversational tone. The large audience at Union Hall on Sun- day afternoon, wherein all grades of society were represented, listened with keenest interest and something like appre- hension. 3 Mr. ift has nothing of the woolly anarchist about him. He talksto a large audience in an auditorium as he would to a chosen companion beside a fireplace. The listener feels that the language is addressed directly to him and it has a “‘quickening” influence, as the preachers say.

He described them yesterday, showing how the laborer, tired of filling the coffers of the rich, resolves to work only enough to keep body and soul together, and so often turns tramp. He described the dilemma of the poor rancher who needed help, but could not afford to pay for it, and 'so obtained it by fraudulent appro- priation of the tramp’s efforts, with the re- sult that the wanderer vcrballfi consigns ades and all its accompanying torments.”’ The pictures drawn wege half pathetic, half humorous and wholly interesting, and the audience showed no signs of weariness during the lecture, which lasted nearly two hours. “The tramp,” he said, ‘‘is no longer con- sidered a human being. When people come from church and see him stagger with the faintness of hunger they will not feed him, though they have been praying for him.” Describin speech of a said “TIt is said there is not enough of nobility of spirit left in humanity to prompt one noble deed.

He finally got Williams’ address, and, after waiting for_him a few hours, he captured his man. Williams had a pair of Larsen's trousers on when he was arrested. The sailors have a grievance against the Ship-owners’ Association. They say that the boarding masters are allowed the use of a room through which they have to pass in order to sign on or off, and that in con- scquence they are coerced into doing things they had no intention of doing. In this room there was quite a fracas yester- day. The ship Glory of the Seas was be- ing paid off, aud among the crew was Charles Nelson. Before leaving San Fran- cisco he had boarded with John Curtin, ing every kind of an allowance, and according to the reports of the roads themselves, their aggregate net surplus for the year ending June 30, 1894, was $2,813,195 57. The defense in the Howell counterfeit case, on trial before Judge Morrow, has had de- tectives employed to learn from Government witnesses what they would testify to, and yes- ay the court put a stop to such measures swearing the witnesses and ndmomshlnf them not to talk about the case or their evi- dence.

Do not be too hard on each other. You may e n tramp soon yourself, when you go out 10 seek the means of keepitg that land. Don’t tear each other's heir! You may have a reunion on the banks of a stream some time. The old claim that laborers could effect no permanent coalition because they were ot g0 many nationalities and could not understand each other he considered no longer wéll timed. As far as my travel and reading goes, I bhave been led to the conclusion that they are coming to understand each other very well.

James W. Kirk Says This City Is a Year Behind the Styles of the East. James Waldere Kirk of New York, the knight of the gripsack, known since Berry the Dudes,” is at the Palace. Mr. Kirk has attained much fame over the United States by reason of the fact that he carries fifteen suits of clothes with him on his travels. He introduced the on Market street crowds followed him. Mr. Kirk has had a siege of it for some time. First he broke his arm while.riding a refractory bicycle in Asbury Park. Then he took the typnoid fever, and it held so firm a grasp on him that he came near dying. However, he got well enough again to start on his travels, and he is now here, though looking a little pale.

He carries a pair of shoes for every day in the week, and his haberdashery and hose include some of the most unigue exhibits between the two oceans. Mr. Kirk also has many jewels. He wore a huge pearl, thickly surrounded with dia- monds, as a tiepin, yesterday, while on his fingers were several very handsome rings. Mr. Kirk says the styles for all kinds of clothing have changed greatly of late, and the clothes he exhibitea certainly showed there had been remarkable changes. He says San Francisco is away behind the times, and that it takes a year for a style to work its way across the continent from New York. He lays this to the San Fran- cisco tailors, who, he thinks, are badly steeped in silurianism. £ Instead of the Willy-boy overcoat, which provoked such mirth in some quarters and rage in others on its introduction, Mr. Kirk showed the present latest thingin the line of that garment. It wasa beautiful manilla-colored coat, single-breasted, en- tirely plain and withoat a single pocket, It buttoned almost snug to the chin, and was so short that it did not reach within three inches of his knees. The king, who has become known as such a connoisseur in all articles of dress, spread his treasures out for inspection, explaining meanwhile the many recent changes in wearing apparel. “‘Sack coats,” said he, ‘‘are now double- breasted, very much shorter than last sea- son’s and conforming very much to your waist. 3 “‘Vest, single-breasted, cut very high, no collar; fly front in fancy vests, is also much worn; trousers much smaller. Sack coats arein_lighter checks, and should only be worn in the morning or while traveling. ““‘Cutaway coats are now decidedly short, and the long waisted, with flapsand patch- top pockets, are much in favor. Plaid and also black goods are used for this style. “‘Prince Alberts are not so much in favor now, but as yet they are very correct for afternoons, especially in attending half outdoor meetings, such as horse shows. “Although cutaways were the rage with us this season, for evening events full dress must be made very plain, and it is still quite correct to use ribbons for the cuffs, but it is now bad taste to display much jewelry in evening dress. No_diamonds shomd then be worn. Small Roman-fin- ished gold ball studs are the correct thing, and if you don’t care to use ribbons for your cuffs'small gold ball buttons are very roper in overcoats. The proper length in ight goods is about three inches above the knees; dark goods, not below the knee; the back is very straight, and the coat loose and roomy’; ‘no pockets on the out- side. “Ifa man wants to be considered well dressed he must always bave his suits of the same goods throughout, not trousers of one color, vest of another and coat of another. “In hats, derbys, brown or black, are now all the rage. 5 “The helght is much lower since Novem- er 1. “In collars the high ‘lay down’ is called in. It is out of date and the straight lundlns collar is correct. It is rather high and meats all the way in front. In ties, puffs are the rage. _Theg are very small, made with satin finish, black body, interwoven in small bright figures or with red stripes. For evening solid black or white are the best.

AT THE CITY THEATERS, Hard Blows in “A Fool for Luck "—De Wolf Hopper in “Dr. Syntax.” Little Gertie Carlisle Sings at the Grand—* The Mikado” at the Tivoli. A large part of the fun in “A Fool for Luck,” which was produced at the Colum- bia Theater last night, consists in the giv- ing and taking of resounding whacks and in the performance of acrobatic stage falls. In the first act particularly the actors tumbled about like ninepins, and the dull thuds with which they struck the ground, without apparent bodily injury, gave rise to ripples of laughter and delight, particu- larly from the gallery. The play in which Joe Cawthorn has re- appeared before his San Francisco friends is a Iarce seasoned with variety perform- ances. One expects very little plot under these circumstances, and ‘“A Fool for Luck” does not disappoint these expecta- tions. A German clerk in a New York grocery-store is left a fortune of $7,000,000 by an uncle in_ Denver, who, with remarkable foresight, left a clause in his will forbidding the young man to give the money away. Snitz Geyser is in love witha young woman who absolutely refuses to snare his newly acquired wealth, and in order to become poor and happy again ne plunges into reckless speculations, with the assistance of a land agent, & theatri- cal manager and a visionary sea captain. This reckless combination for gelllng rid of his money only succeeds in adding to it, and the wreiched ex-clerk finds that his millions in- cremse and multiply. . BiThe pert of Snitz Geyser afforded Cawthorn opportunities of singing, dancing, playing and Féfl“‘hlg his command over English “made in Germany.” In addition to his dialect, he as- sumed & lisp which was laughed at and a plauded, though it grew a little wearisome in the long Tun. Cawthorn sluyed his part sym- pathetically, however, and, with the assistance of Annie Buckley, held up the performance. His concertina playing of the intermezzo from the “Cavalleria,’ and of other selections, as well as his ielling of anecdotes, brought him strings of encores. i Annie Buckley, as the girl who scorned wealth, aaded vitality to the rlay. She is & sympathetic litcle actress, even if her methods do savor of the music-hall. Her sinfiin%of “Paradise Alley” was repeatedly encored. The Clayton sisters gave sougs and dances; Tom Peasley was duly intense as the theatrical manager; Miss Annie Wood was good as the landlady of the “Cranks’ Paradise,” and the rest of the cast performed their partsof sat- ilites round Cawthorn and Annie Buckley. At the Baldwin, De Wolff Hopper and his company won their usual amount of applause last nightin “Dr. Syntax.” “Casey at the Bat” was demanded the audience and was obligingly given b; ?ge c:medlnn. “Wang” will %)e revgved ln¥ the end of the week. On Monday next Rice’s Surprise Party will appear at the Baldwin in 1492.” California Theater. Hermann’s performance of magic and mys- ! | tery continues to attract large audiences to the California Theeter. Next Monday Robert Downing, supported by Eugenie Blaire will open there in “The Gladiator.” Grand Opera-House. “The Burglar,” which opened last night at the Grgnd, has a smaller cast than usual at that house, but all the parts were well filled. The play itself is melodrama of the intensest kind. Inits dominant idea it has some resem- lance to “A Social Highwayman,” which has ust had such a remarkable success in New York. A young man, leader of a desperate gang of burglars, succeeds in hiding his call- ng, even from his wife, and lives in the greatest outward repectability until his calling is found out. Eugene Moor, who has won distinction in the role in the East, has been engagea especlally to play the buf lar. He act the role of the criminal who, with all his shortcomings, is devoted to his wife and child, in a highly dramatic manner. Coulter Brinker seemed overwhelmed by the dignity of being an editor, arrayed in an immaculate evening suit and possessed of the power to keep the burglar’s shortcomings out of the papers. Miss Hall gave a spirited rendering to the part of the determined wife, who believed in her husband in spite of ap- pearances, Miss Julia Blanc's energy as the servant-maid was quite abnormal. Miss Bertha Foltz gave a charming interpretation 1o the par: of Mamie, The great hit of the evening was the singing of little Gertie Carlisle. She first gave ‘“‘Ben Bolt,” and as an encore, “I Don't Want to Play in Your Yard.” At the Tivoli. “Mikado,” at the Tivoli, was welcomed by an audience more appreciative than extensive. It was prettily staged, but not as brilliantly sung, perhaps, as it has been in times past. Ferris Hartman made a very funny Ko Ko, but hardly an artistic one. Mr. Broderick’s large vocal powers and naturally stately mien stood him in good stead for Pooh Bah. John J. Raf- fael played the Mikado, Martin Pache the love- sick Nanki Poo and William H. West Pish Tush. Laura Millard, Emelie Melville and Jennie Stockmeyer sang Yum Yum, Pitti Sing and Peep Bo, respectively, whilé Mabella Baker sang Katisha. The choruses were rendered with spirit—better sung, in fact, than some of the parts. The Tivoli company is not at its best in “Mikaao.” At the Orpheum. The Orpheum has a good bill this week. The Phoite-Pinaud troupe from the Casino-de-Paris in the “Merry Masqueraders or a Carnival in Paris” are particularly good and compare with most of the best productions in the East. Their “Troubles in a Barber Shop and Fantastic Acrobatic Pantomime’ is way above the av- erage The Andersen Sisters, in their feet jugglings and acts of equilibrium, seem to overcome ail the laws of gravity. They are a great success. The Bogard Brothers, with their trained grizzlies, would make an old trapper leave the mountains by the way they handle the fero- cious beasts. ~ All the other numbers are worth seeing again.
