10 THE SA THEIR SHOW WAS QUITE & SUCCESS The Unemployed Cleared Nearly Two Hundred Dollars. 0ld Clothing and Old Shoes Badly Needed at Head- quarters. Railroad to Be Asked for Low Rates for Unemployed Leaving for Country Jobs. The unemployed were busy yesterday to the extent of gathering in unsold tick- ets and determining just how much they made from the show in the Auditorium on the night before. At latestaccounts they had cleared about $190, or over $40 in excess of the original esiimate. This cash is sadly needed at the head- quarters, where applications for retief come in daily from women and little children in dire distress and threatened h ejectment from their miserable liv- ing pl What is most needed, and what should be more easy to obtain, is old clothes for the destitute and needy among the unemployed aud those depending on them. 1e relief committee wishes to make a special request to benevolently inclined | individuals for old ciothing of any kind, cially for shoes, for men, women ildren.

Before the meeting of the State Rail- way Commissioners yesterday a letter was read from James Gillis, president of the Union Transportation Company, charging the Valley Railroad with dis- criminating against his company and in favor of the California Navigation Com- pany. Both Mr. Gillis' company and the latter run steamers between San Fran- cisco and Stockton. They are rivals of each other. Mr. Gillis thought that the managers of the new railroad had reduced passenger and freight rates to the California Navi- gation Company, and, as ne said, entered into a conspiracy with it. His own com- pany could not get such rates, nor could the public. It was decided that the matter should be heard in_detail on the 24th inst., when officers of the Valley road will | be present. £ 3 | Girvin and Eyre have been making this | fight for some time, and Gillis, who is also | interested in warehousing in Stockton, in- | tends to press the matter. Both the | Valiey road officials and the managers of | the California Navigation and Improve- | ment Company, who handle the Valley road freight going by water, have claimed all along that it has been far-from their intention to do anything to injure Stockton. A petition was received from Marin County asking for lower rates of fare be- tween San Francisco and San Rafael. J. S. | McCue of Corte Madera, 11 said_county | who appeared to indorse the petition, ar- gued that a single round-trip iare should not cost over 25> cents. He also com- vlained that men were charged $5 for monthly commutation tickets while women were charged but §3. It was de- cided to communicate with the officers of | the two transportat ion lines.

Dr. Moreland Lectures at the Turk-Street iemple, A large audience was present at the Turk-street Temple last evening to hear Rev. Dr. W. H. Moreland, rector of St. Luke's, lecture on the “Socialism of Christ.”” The interest manifested through- out was intense, and the speaker was fre- quently interrupted by applause, J. Lar- sen acted as cbairman. “Iam present,” said the speaker, “as s disciple of Christ and a priest of the church to remove any wrong impression with regard to the attitude of the church toward socialism. The kingdom of Christ is the kingdom of humanity and social equality and justice. “‘When you are trying to spread the reign of justice and equality on earth you are disseminating the doctrine of Jesus Christ.” Competition Dr. Moreland regarded as the cause of poverty, and thought mer- chants on that account were uaable to make a living by observing the golden rule. Neither did he believe that an act of Congress or any legisiative enactment could change human character. Rev. J. E. Scott, P. Ross Martin, Leo Gusser, Theodore Lynch, William Edlin, Henry Warnecke, Dr. J. D. Brock and George Barnaby followed in short, five- minute speeches. In general their senti- ments were in agreement with that of the lecturer, except Barnaby, who believed the little book entitled ‘“Merry England” contained more socialism_in ten pages than the whole of the Bibie. Brock’s views coincided in_the main, but he did not believe that Christianity could work any decided change. —————— Lecture on *The Daid of Orleans.”” Professor Albin Putzker of the University of Celifornia will lecture this evening on “Woman’s Patriotism Idealized in Schiller’s Mald of Orleans.” This is the fifth lecture in & course on “Schiller’s Works,” given by Pro- fessor Putzker at the German Y. M. C. A. Hall, corner Ellis and Mason streets. The interest in thess literary evenings has increased from ‘Wweek to week. —————— A Jewelry Fraud. Mrs. Helen de Estelle, 187 Hyde street, #wore to s complaint in Judge Joschimsen's | incorporate a company pro- | to work on the | Aylward of Livermore. Aylward alleges that the defendants are acting illegally by levying a heavy assessment on his block of stock, which it was agreed should not be assessable. It is then alleged that it was agreed be- tween the plaintiff and the defendants, | Dingee and Stanley, that the latter should to control the property and sell water to Livermore and surrounding towns. There were to be 2000 shares of the value of $100 each, and it is alleged that Dingee was to receive 133314 shares and Aylward 6662 aud that the plaintiff's stock was to be transferred to Stanley to be held in trust. 1t is further stated that Dingee agreed that the stock was not to be assessable, and tbat he further agreed to raise $23,000, of which Aylward was to get $2000 and $6000 was to De paid to Elizabeth Rodgers and the balance to be used for improving the plant, so that an income of $700 per month should be prodvced. It was also agreed that the plant should be mortgaged if necessary and later bonded for $25,000, the surplus profits to be shared by Dingee and Aylward. The complaint then states that the com- peny was formed and the promised stock was turned over to Stanley to be held in trast for plaintiff. According to Aylward, Stanley was given 200 shares, and the rest of the stock wa$ portioned among the other defendants, who it is alleged were employes of Dingee, and who did not part with any valuable consideration for the stock. Ttis then alleged that Dingee failed to raise the $25,000, that ail the defendants bave not ended over $6000 for improve- ments, and that the promised $2000 has not been paid and that the Rodgers mort- gage has not been satisfied as was promised. The plaintiff sought an injunction re- straicing the defendants from selling a block of stock in which he 1s interested,and | which has been advertised for sale on March 11. Judge Hall granted the tem- porary order. An officer of the company said to-night that the proceeding was perfectly regular, and that the sale of delinquent stock was legitimate. _— OLEVER BOXING, Savage Gets the Decision Over Dixon Before the S. F. A. C. The San Francisco Athletic Club held one of its regnlar monthly exhibitions at their clubrooms at 431}4 Sixth street last night. Some clever boxing bouts were given by “Messrs. Irwin and Bates, McNesby and Jimmy Anthony and Goff and Kennedy. Messrs. Kelly, Marlow and Webber en- tertained the crowd with songs. The event of the evening was a four- round go between Charles Dixon, 122 pounds, and “Yank” Savage, 134 pounds. The referee awarded the fight 10 Savage. Dixon made & good showing against his more weighty and experienced opponent, but showed & lack of condition. The Sen Francisco Athletic Club will bold an athletic exhibition and ball on the 20th of this month at Teutonia Hall. ————— JOHN HOPKINS OF OHIOAGO. The Well-Known Sporting Manager Arrived Last Evening. John Hopkins, a well-known Eastern manager of theatrical shows, and a man who has handled Creedon and Tracey, the | pugilists, in some of their fistic contests, arrived last evening from Chicago. He says that Creedon is matched to fight Bob Strong on the 24th inst. Of the big fight | Mr. Hopkins says that the New York sporting men figure that Corbett should defeat Fitz<immons, as he is superior in most particulars to the Cornishman. The betting in Chicago is $10 to $6, with Cor- bett on the long end. Mr. Hopkins will remain a few weeks on this coast and will journey to Carson on Monday evening with Al Smit, the stakeholder, for the purposs of seeing the big fight. — . Boy Bicyclist Injured. Eddie Egeberg, 15 years of age, a messenger boy in the employmentof the Pope Bicycle Company on Post street, was riding his bicy- cie on Eighteenth street vesterday afternoon when he was knocked down by acoal cart. One of the wheels of the cart passed over his right shoulder fracturing the ciavicle. His right leg was also bruised and there was a wound on his forencad. He was taken to the City and County Hospital for treatment. —_——————— ADVANCES made on furniture anda pianos, with BRAVOS FOR THE FRENCH OPERA Scciety Attends in Force at the California Theater. The Season Opened With Meyer- beer’s Opera “L’Afri- Massart and the Henry Albers Laurels of the Evening, Win “Il Trovatore’” had been billed as the medium for introducing the French Opera Company to a San Francisco audience, but in the middle of the week it was an- nounced that ‘‘L’Africaine” would be substituted for the early Verdi work. The change did not cause much disappoint- ment, for “I’ Africaine,’ old as it is, has some of the charms of novelty in this City when it has not been heard much of late years, whereas the dear old hand- organ airs of “Il Trovatore,” sweet as they are to the ears of people who love to bum the melodies in the foyer between the acts, have come to be associated with amateur performances, and consequently” “Ti Trovatore” has lost some ot its pres- tige for opening a much-advertised grand opera season. Considering the difficulty of marshaling stagehands in a foreign language, the per- formance was laudably punctual in be- ginning. The first scene, representing the council chamber of the King of Portugal, was modestly set. It was not stage up- holstery that the audience had assembled toenjoy, however, but grand opera singing, | and consequently the accent of lnes re- ceived much more attention than the red benches of the council chamber. Mme. Marthe Berthet took the partand her sing- ing of “‘Addio Mio Sol Natal” was received with enthusiasm, weich might be looked upon as something of & triumph for the first aria in an opera. Mme. Berthet has a ringing soprano leggero voice, although it is not free from a certain hardness which detracts from its | sympathetic quality. She sings with con- siderable freedom of execution, and alto- gether she carried off the honors on the feminine side of the cast. The real honors of the evening, how- | ever, were all swept away by Vasco di Gama and Nelusko; they won nearly all the “‘bravos,” and it was & toss up which of them had won most. The moment | Vasco di Gama was summoned into the | council chamber and M. Massart, in a | tight-fitting costume of red and gold, | responded, one knew he was the primo | tenore of the organization by the very way he struted on to the stage. Vasco did not deign to notice, so much us by a glance, the angust grandees, the cardinals, bishops and inquisitors assem- bled in council; he strutted right down to | the footlights and aadressed himself at once to the audience, with a frank disre- gard of anyone but himself which is | sacred to tenors beloved of the multi- tude, Massart had not sung a dozen notes of his opening aria, “Io vidi,” before every one saw that he was justified in assuming the airs and graces ol a primo tenore as- soluto. His beautiful voice, which gives evidences of high training, is full and dramatic in quality, and he pro- duces exceptionally high notes in a chest quality of voice, or at least in such a skillful blending 'of the chest and head qualities that the dramatic_effect of | very bad Don Pedro.

His ballad, “Adamastor, Monarch of the Deep,’’ made the hit of the third act. Apart from Massart and Albers, the company did not give any remarkable proofs of talent. Mme. Foedor, the Selika, was not received with any enthusiasm. Her voice proved to bs dramatic and powerful in the upper notes, but it is un- even, and she does not use it with any particalar art. Her appearance would no doubt be tak- ing and piquant with anoter make-up, but the darkened skin of Selika was very trying to her. M.

Massart’s aria was received with fervid appiause, and he remained the hero of the footlights till Nelusko (Henri Albers) ap- peared and tien honors were divided. Nelusko, the noble but delnsive savage, bas not very much to do in the council chamber scene, when he is brought in as Vasco di Gama's slave, but the full, vibrant qualities of his voice and his fine musical and dramatic rendering of his score quickly revealed the artist. Nelusko has a chance of showing his quality in the second act, wiere Vasco di Gama is thrown into prison with his slaves for daring to declare that he can reach India by rounding the Cape of Storms. Henri Albers took full advantage of the opportunity offered, and his aris, _“Danghter of Kings,” brought down a storm of “bravos” and ‘“bis,” particularly from the part of the house where a large con- ingent of opera lovers from North Beach was seated. All through the rest of the opera Al- bers’ success continued. He acted as well assang with ease and abandon, and in or withoutremoval.

This was only momentary, however, for on the whole good precision was observed. The wait« between the acts were not long and the scenery, though simple, was appropriate. TIn the fourth tableau there was agrand Indian march, executed by Mesdem:iselles Rossi, De Brassi, Boggio and the corps de ballet. * The audience was prodigal with ap- plause and it is many a long day since 8 San Francisco theater has rung with so many ‘‘bravos.” = e A “SOCIETY” HOUSE. It Was Dressy, Chatted Freinch and *“Visited.” Itis proven; no matter how great the lyric artist, if he or she appearsonly in concert San Francisco will have none of it. That is, she will not don her finest clothes and longest plumes to extend greetings to a concert programme. Nor- dica and her famous company taught us that melancholy fact. Opera is what San | Francisco wants—opera with artists whose | fame has preceded them. Opera mounted | grandly and gorgeously, such as the Cali- fornia management offered their patrons last nizht, Compared to the Nordica audience— latest and most brilliant in our memory —the assemblage that filled the California last evening was as a brilliant meteor to a tiny twinkling star. Everybody was there. Everybody dressed in their very best, with added splendor in the shape of rare and costly iaces and priceless jewels. The opera seasou summoned in evi- dence the people, the hoi polloi. They stood three deep in front of the theater en- trance and held their breath or gave vent | to joyfulexclamation as carriage after car- riage unloaded its quota of fair occupants. Another fact proved is that woman, no matter how fair or lovely, never looks so handsome as in the gorgeous costuming which opera not only permits but de- | mands. Society answered nobly fashion’s imperative decree, and the result was one of the “prettiest houses,” according to managerial vernacular, the California Theater has ever held. The California is not a theater that is easily “‘dressed.” For some reason or other costumes must be more than gor- geous, jewels more than brilliant to make a good showing at this house. But the theater last evening was a dream of love- liness. Fair necks gleamed, diamonds outshone themselves, silks rustled and satins shimmered in a way to please even the most exacting oY tastes. Hats were | not in evidence, that is, there was not a | Gainsborough in the house, and the few | head coverings that were worn were so tiny that they looked more ke a ribbon or a feather or a bit of lace fastened daintily in the coiffure. The dressing was not confined to the lower floor. In the balcony there were rare laces to be seen, ladies without hats and gentlemen in the evening dress operatic performances de- mand. Probably the fact that the comvany hails from New Orleans may account for the charming custom introduced last evening of ‘‘visiting” between acts. The lobby formed a charming retreat, and not a few ladies mingled with the gentlemen and exchanged greeiings and opinions. Of course French was heard all over. Good French, poor French and most in- different French. It seemed to be the thing. Those who could not formulate sentences to express the enthusiasm they felt gave vent to their joy and lingual attainments in loud and oft-repeated “Bravos.” Among those in the audience were: Mr. and Mrs. Henry J.

The union decided to again affiliate with the Building Trades Council. The presi- dent, Patrick Hannon, William O’Donnell and Jerry Holland were appointed as dele- gates to that central body. A report was made that the Rae Build- ing Company, contractors for the con- struction of the Affiliated Colleges, had discharged all the union hod-carriers and that it was announced that hereafter non- union laborers will be employed. It was also asserted that the company had taken the same action with regard to the con- struction of the High School bnilding and the new Hall of Justice on Kearny and Washington streets. The union decided that as the Affiliated Colleges is a State building the work should be done by union men only, and that in order to effect this end the best thing to do is to call the Board of Kegents’ attention to the injustice. A committee will call on the Regents before the next meeting. STOLE AWAY 1O WED, J. A. Wadsworth’s Romantic Marriage to Miss Reeves of Oak'and. They Were Quietiy United in Martinez on January 16—Friends Surprised. News reached this City yesterday of the marriage of J. A. Wadsworth to Miss Cora M. Reeves of Oskland. The affair was a carefully planned elopement, and was carried out at Martinez on the 16th of last January. J. A. Wadsworth is the son of Henry Wadsworth, the capitalist and cashier of Wells-Fargo. The family is well known in social circles on both sides of the bay. ‘The groom is only 22 years of age, and it was not known that he contemplated tak- ing a wife. Miss Reeves is some years younger. When the news of the marriage was re- ceived it wasa big surprise to the many friends of the Wadsworths. Mr. Wadsworth said yesterday that his son had gone to Martinez and been mar- ried without his knowledge or consent. He declined to say anything further, ex- cept that Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Wadsworth have been living for the past few days at the home of the groom's parents across the bay. ————— Haywards Man Bunkoed. W. E.

The White Man Who Bought L quor for Them to Be Arrested. Said to B: Good Indians, but Very Fond of Firewater—Got Thirty Days Each. The noble red man, represented by three Hoopa Valley Indians, has turned informer, and there will be wailing and gnashing of teeth in Humboldt County about North Fork when it is learned that they have told more than was ever before known of the mysteriousagency by which the Hoopa Valley aborigines get the fire- | water that often causes them to put on | warpaint. James Anderson, James Richards andi Milo Ferry are good Indians, according to Captain Dougherty, the retired army ofti- cer who acts as agent at Hoopa Valley, but they, as well ae other inhavitants of the reservation, have a quenchiess thirst for whisky. Moreover on many oc: -nsy..«.,‘ much to the discomfort and astonishmen ¢ of the agent, they were able to obtain t dreaded firewater and become upr ously drunk. | "Aclose watch failed to discover tho | means by which the liquor reached the | reservation until one day when tie three men rode into the valley with a comfort- able ‘“jag.” They were searched and enough whisky found to make a dozen Indians drunk. They refused to tell where the liquor came from and were arrested on a charge of selling liquor to other Indians. After arnving in tbis City in charge of Captain Dougherty the three men con- sidered their chances of going to jail for & long time and then conciuced that to tell where they obtained the liquor would zet them off with a light sentence. In this | idea they were encouraged by the agent | and the United States District Attorney’s | office. | When they were called up_ for trial yes- | terday in the United States District Court, | all pleaded guiity and both Captain Dougherty and Assistant United _States District Attorney Schlesinger asked the court to be lenient with them in view of the fact that they had given valuable in- | formation that would put a stop to the selling of liquor to the Indians on the | Hoopa Vailey reservation. The captain | testified to their ;eneral good character and Judge Morrow sentenced them to thirty days’ imprisonment and to pay a fine 0f $5 each. They were taken to Ala- meda County Jail last evening to begin their terms. Itis understood that the Indians told | the authorities that they hired a man from Rock Creek, which is not far_from | the reservation, to buy the liquor in North Fork, ana that he deliyered the whisky to them at a rendezvous in the mountains. They claim not to know his name, but nave so described him that the author- ities will have no difficulty in making his arrest. Itis belicved that this mau has been” making a regular business of supplying the Indians with vhisky, and that he is responsible for the introduction of large quantities into tke reservation. Hoopa Valley reservation is in Hum- boldt County, about forty-five miles from Arcata, aud” 1s about eight miles square.
