THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1896. AT THEATER AND OPERA-HCUSE Success of Hartman’s Ex- travaganza at the Tivoli. The Comedian’s Work Contains Bright Music and New Jokes. AN OLD PLAY AT THE GRAND Beatrice Lieb and Her Lily Langtry Fall at the Alcazar Last \ Evening. Ferris Hartman’s friends packed the Tivoli Opera-house last night to welcome bim in his new capacity as a composer of musical extravaganza, and flowers, ap- plause and encores were rained upon the fortunate comedian with reckless pro- fusion. “The Babes in the Wood” is Hartman’s first attempt in the line of composition, and in the inevitable speech for which he was called he described it asa “very silly, silly little thing.” Indeed, he has never spoken of it save with apologies for its shortcomings. which shows the wisdom of not unduly raising people’s hopes before- hand, for **The Babes in the Wooa’ scored an emphatic success last night. The new musical comedy is almost innocent of plot, but that is a peculiarity of most works of its kind, and on the other hand the music is bright, sparkling and almost all new to San Francisco hearers; the “turns’’ of which the comedy largely consists are clever and diversified, the jokes are new and up to date, and the management has contributed its share toward the success of “The Bavesin the Wood” by providing a good company and pretty and approprate costumes. 2 i I : that the_music consists chiefly ongs from New York and London. so, a number of very attractive songs be in vegue now, and itis no exag- geration to say that Hartman has shown greal taste and skitl in gdapung them to his own purposes. Among the mostap- plauded pieces were the preity duet, ~] Wonder Why"'; the song and chorus, “Ha, Ha.' which Raffael sings with his tollowers as Sir Rowland Macassar; the graceful ballaa “In Dreamland,” sung by Khys Thomas; the song which Mau- rice Darc ng so well, “Sne Has No Popper Now'’; the “Spider and Fiy’”’ duet between the babes, and—but to enumerate the preity melodies would be to name them nearly atl. As to the jokes, most of them. were either political or local. Here are a few oi them: Says Weary Willie—16 to 1 is not haif so good as 12 to 1. Dusty Rhodes —How’s .that? Weary Willie—12 to 1— free lunch. Two conspirators are ta'king, and Dr. Deadstone asks of Lady Macassar, ‘‘Has all been kept secret?’ “Yes,”” replies iy Macassar; ‘““we adveruised the fact in all the Oakland papers, 30 now no one can hear about it.” Ferris_Hartman played the part of Weary Willie, and W. H. West was Rhbodes, his companion in abduct- The two worthies quarrel u the forest, as their predecessors in the fairy tale did, but, unlike those gentle- n, they fight it out in a burlesque prize- tight, which was one of the most amusing turns in the extravaganza. Miss Liily Post, the prima donna, who made her reappearance _iast nignt, was good voice, and sang sweetly as C. Raven, the fascinating schkool- teacher. Eivira Urox Seabrooke threw her- el th plenty of spirit into the role of the female babe, and Maurice Darcy sang and acted cleverly as her brotner. Miss Bernice Hclmes was good as the “‘new woman,” and her band of bicycle girls won a good deal of applause in the cos- tumes of local clubs. John J. Raffael and William H. Tooker also did good work. Last night a number of encores were de- manded and given, and, as the second act was long in itself, the clocks had just struck 10:30 before the curtain went down on the second act, and it was well toward midnight before the audience reached their homes. It is stated that to-night the extravaganza will be pruned down, so that people can be sent on their way rejoicing by 10:30. The Baldwin. The drawing qualities of the “Prioner of Zends” were illustrated by the presence of an ually large sudience on the opening of cond week of the production. The de- cree of the management in regard to high ar was widely observed by the fair con- cy of the Baldwin. rge sudience manifested the deepest 1 the romantic story of Anthony n, and expressed the aamirsa- nce in three times recaliing interest Ho c tion jor exc Mr, Hackett and Isabei Irving.

R. well in his famous pact of Marks, the lawyer. The performance was greeted by an immense audience, which enjoyed the funny side of the play more than the sentimental, ot where Eva was in the scene. Hatch as Pbineas Flctcher, the ed a round of applause every stood on his toes and said, “Yea, ve Harry Benrimo as George Hurris, thé runaway slave, looked the fine, hanasome mulaito to perfection, but he was too haudy with his pistol for a man wishing to escape observation. Miss Julia Blanc had a congenial part 1n Miss Ophelia, and Miss Williams played the part of Topsy in a spirited and clever msnner. The star of the evening was little Mildred, as Eva. She looked quite ethereal, and her sweet little sympathetic voice was Very touching. Many people were observed surreptitiously wiping their eyes in the sceme with her father and at the death scene. rank At the Alcazar. Beatrice Lieb, in ‘‘The Wife's Peril” last evening at the Alcazar, gave the audience the Langtry fall and roll off the sofa to perfection. Theater-goers will remember how the Jersey Lily took her emotional tumble in this play when she first bloomed to the public on tnis side of the pond—a swoon, & drop on to the hen down to the carpet. “The Wife's is one of the best pieces given by the Alcazar Company, and John T, Sullivan as Mr. Winthrop and J. B. Polk s Dr. Blair were ex- ceptionally good in their roles. "here was, however, too. much of Francis Powers' suffering, so much of it that he made one wonder why he did not take to his bed st e. Carl Smith, as Major Doolittle, and rs. Bates, as Mrs. Prendergast, were perfect ' and did much toward making host wretched. There was hardly enough of Fry Clayton, as Theodore Doolittle, and pretty May Buckley, s Amy Winihrop. The piece wiil be piayed all this week. At the Orpheum. Several new turns are given at the Orpheum this week, and hold-cvers appear, for the most part, in new acts. The two Lucifers do some clever athletic work, which they diversify with comic dislogue. The male Lucifer has an almost Sandow development of muscle, and throws & stalwart young stage hand about as if he were a plaything. He also accomplishes some remarkably high kicking. I#Ando, Omne and Alright are a trioof ac- complished Japanese jugglers, who were here some two years ago. Little Alright’s contor- tions have evidently agreed with him, for the child who was puny-lookiug st that time has 1 de\'emged in_bone and muscle. Omne does some clever juggling with the flags of all na- tions, and Ando does excellent balancing tricks. The Hengler sisters, direct from the Alhambra, London, scarcely lived last night up to the European reputation which pre- ceded them. They are two rather pretty but excessive.y thin young women, who dress strikingly, kick high and chirp duets in twit- tering voices, like little SpATTOWS. Pitrot has added a number or local celebri- ties to his delineations. He is also giving imi- }mona of noted composers. !\g:lbg;ie;n’s:c:é Leon is appearing in new m 3 Gertie Cflc‘l’l‘?fin, lhre memory child, has added some new statistics to her already large store of knowledge. Unthan, the Carpo brothers and Riley and Hughes repeat their perform- ances of last week, and the Hawaiian band continues to please the hearers with selec- tions, though they are seldom those placed on the programme. Columbia Theater. “Trilby” continues to fill the Columbia Theater. There was scarcely a vacant seat in the house last night and the play was greeted with more applause than on the opening night. Hinrichs-Beel Concert. The first Hinrichs-Beel concert will take place at the Baldwin Theater on Friday after- noon next. ELECTION OFFICERS.

Lively Interest Being Manifested in the Police Captain Contest in \ Armory Hall, The great festival at Armory Hall, Tenth and Market streets, in aid of the homeless boys at the Youtn's Directory, will close at 11 o’clock on Wednesday evening. Promptly at the hour named the voting contest for the most popular police cap- tain will be terminated. Immediateiy thereafter the votes will be counted and the results announced by the judges, ex- Mayor Eileri, A. H. Loughborough and Mr. Raphael. In view of the intense interest that is being manifested in this contest, and re- membering the outburst of enthusiasm and excitement that marked the close of the voting contest for the wost popular voung lady on BSaturday evening, the gentlemen of the committee are waking every precaution against accident or con- fusion whereby the accuracy or fairness of the count might be questioned. The mode of procedure on the occasion will be as follows: From 9:30 until 10:30 o’clock all votes cast will be entered upon the blackboard placed on the frout of the platform, full opportunity being given to the advocates or “spielers” to expound the claims to popularity. of their respective favorites among the policé captains. At 10:30 all advocacy or “spieling” from the platiorm wili cease, and during the following fifteen minutes no announcements or blackbourd recordwill be made of any votes that may be cast. Money carefully wrapped in paper, or | inciosed in envelopes and bearing the | name of the particular captain for whom the votes are intended, may be used in- stead of the printed ballots, as the party voting may desire. At 10:45 o'clock sharp the timekeeper will annoance that the time’ for closing the ballot has arrived, and he Will there- upon commence counting aloud from one to ten. As he utters the word t-e-n, the lid of the ballot receptacle will be instan- taneously closed, and no more ballots or money received. The ballot-box with its contents will be at once taken charge of by the judges, ex- Mayor Ellert and Messrs, Loughborough and Raphael, who will then and there count the bailots and furnish their official certificate of the result, which will be at once announced to all present. The closing of the contest for the certificates of popu- larity to be given to the police captain re- | ceiving the highest number of votes will also terminate the Youth’s Directory Fes- tival of 1896, which its promoters declare to be a grand success. — e e Non-Partisan League.

E CHIEF RANGER %‘}'fifi"z_cn N U.5 AND CANADA WORMY FRUIT TO BE QUARANTINED Action of the State Board of Horticulture of Washington. An Explicit Circular to All Agents of the Southern Pacific. THE VAL EY RCAD ' X_URSICN Three Hundred Business Men of Fresne Will Arrive in . San Francisco To-Day. An excursion party, consisting of 300 citizens of Fresno, left that city yesterday morning on the Valley railroad for Stock- ton. The excursion was organized by the Fresno Business Men’s Club. The excur- sionists will come through to San Fran- cisco, and arrive here early this morning on a steamer from Stockton. California fruit-shippers who have cus- tomers in Seattle, Tacoma or other points in the State of Washington must now take special care to guard against the consign- ment of wormy fruit 1o that region. The following circular from the freight department of the Southern Pacific Com- pany will be issued to-day: FRUIT QUARANTINE IN WASHINGTON. To Agents : The State Board of Horticulture of the State of Washington has announced that it will quarantine against all fruit when iniested with worms. If upon inspection by the agent or repre- sentative of the State Board o1 Horticulture the fruit is found to be wormy it will be de- stroyed or returned to shipper at shipper’s ex- ense. » On shipment of fruitconsigned to Washing- ton charges must be fully prepaid or guaran- teed from point of shipment to destination. Atsame time full explanation of the above should be read to shipper. C. F. SMURR, General Freight Agent. It is not obvious that the State authori- ties of Washin%wu are aiming at Califor- nia shippers. 1t may be that wormy fruit from Oregon has caused the action of the State Board of Horticulture. The shipments this season of deciduous fruits from this State to points east of the Rocky Mountains show a falling off in quaniity as compared with last year’s vaffic. - Up to September 30, 1895, the quantity sent East amounted to 4086 car- Joads. The shipments up to September 30 of this year were 3627 carioads. Each car contains twelve tons, and the failing off, therefore, amounts to 5446 tons. The cost of transportation was not increased, but in some respects slightly diminished. The inquiry into the causes of the recent smash-up on the rail near Mayfield has not been finished, but is still 1n progress. Julins Kruttschnitt, general manager of the Soutnern Pacific Company, and W. G. Curtis, superintendent of maintenance of ways, went as far east as Ogden with the illistrious Russian,. and then went to Portland, Or. They will return to San Francisco in a day or two.

He has come here to at- tend an important meeting of the order 1o be held to-day and to-morrow in San Jose. Oronhyatekha, for he has but that one name, is a full-blooded Indian, a man of great size, of striking, intellectual appear- ance and commanding and pleasing pres- ence. Considerably over six feet in height and of powerful physique he weighs 240 pounds. In addition to holding the highest office among the Foresters, he isa thirty-third degree Royal Arch Mason, is Most Wor- shipful Grand Master Mason of the Dominion of Royal and Oriental Masonry, for thirty-nine years has been a member of that body known as Good Templars, and a few years ago at a session of its supreme lodge, held at Edinburgh, Scot- land, be was elected to the highest office belonging to the organization. . He was born at the Six Nations Reserva- tion, near Brantford, Ontario, in 184L. His education was begun at home in the in- dustrial school established for the training of young Indians. Later he entered Wes- leyan Academy at Wilbraham, Mass., and atiended daring several school terms be- 1ore going to Kenyon College, Ohio. There he remained two years. Then he spent one year in Toronto University. All this time he had been earning his own way. While be was a student at Kenyon Col- lege the Prince of Wales made his mem- orable visit to Canada. The chiefs of the six nations deputized young Oronhyatekha to deliver their address to the son of the | “Great Mother,"” as they called Queen Vic- toria. So favorable was the impression made upon the Prince and his party by that speech and by its graceful delivery tnat Oronhyatekha was invited to_ con- tinue his studies at Oxford University in England under the care of Bir Henry The Supreme Chief Ranger of the Independent Order of Foresters and High Officers of the High Court of California, Acland. regius professor of medicine. He went to England and subsequently received the degree of doctor of medicine. Returning to Canada he began the prac- tice of medicine in London, Ontario, and met with marked success. He gave up his profession, however, to deyote his whole energies to the Independent Order of Foresters, which, under his management, has been brought up from a member- ship of a few hundred to almost 100,000. Thbe High Court will convene in San Jose this forenoon for its twenty-third session, This order differs from the Ancient or American order in so far as it is known as the “‘insurance order,” with one supreme court, which 1s located at Toronto, Canada, thirty-two high couris-and 2600 subordi- uate courts and a membership of 98,000 scattered over the United States and Great Britain. From the report of the supreme secre- tary it appears that the order has a sur- plus of $1,848,000 on hand, notwithstand- g that $3,800,000 has been paid out in benefits. . The order in California is under_the jurisdiction of G. A, McEliresh, tue State hign chief ranger, who will preside at ses- sions of this convention. He will be as- sisted by Charles 8. Peery, the high coun- selor of tne order, for this State with other High Court officers. Since the organization of the order in New York in 1874 the officers and mem- bers claim that the Independent Koresters haye kept pace with any similar beneficial order in the Uniied States. The session at San Jose will continue rfi; the next two days at the Vendome otel. POPULISTS WILL RATIFY. The Meeting Scheduled for To-Morrow Night at the Populist Tent. A thousand invitations to the ratifica- tion meeting of the municipal ticket of the Populists were struck off yesterday and will be scattered broadcast over the City to-day. The meeting will be held to- morrow evening at the People’s party tent, corner of Market and Larkin streets, and at Scottish Hall, 105 Larkin street. Buckley, it seems, has not been con- sulted in the matter of ratification, for Buckley is not in quite so much favor as he was during the late municipal conven- /tion. He is accused of breaking some of his agreements, cud ere long it is expected that the wily Christopher will be in con- siderable disfavor. —————— At the funeral of an unmarried woman in Brazil scarlet is the mourning hue.

A man said: “When I was s young chap I could use coffee and tobacco with- out their troubling me, but as I get along in years they both distress me. I quit tobacco, but only got a little better; liver, stomach and bowels kept all out of gear, until finally my old doctor told me that coffee haa the same poisonous alkaloids as tobaceo, but not quite so many, and ad- vised me to leave it off and give nature a chance to build up. I didn’t take much stock in the old man’s advice, but found out by trying it that he was just right. Still I missed my hot drink at preakfast and supper—tried chocolate, but that lacks the taste I like, and tea don’t go ex- actly to the spot. Lately I have beea arinking Postum Cereal Coffee and like it better than the old coffee. It has that pungent taste that fits my notion of a hot drink, and it agrees with me well enough that I have put on ten poundsin a month. It is made of grains wholly and brews a deep rich color, like the finest Mocha. Wife buys it at the grocery and says it cosis us about one-third what coffee used to.”’ 1t comes from Battle Creek, Mich. Dr. Henry Venne, 99 Blue Island ave- nue, Chicago, says: “The Postum has been tested and found to be excellent.”” Beware of fraudulent imitations of the original Postum Cereal Grain coffee.
