No enterprise afoot is to-day attracting more attention than the manner of the the Valley road to Oskland ncisco.

Californla and Nevada Rallroad Owners Want the Valiey Road to Have It. OAKLAND, Car., March 29.—The peri- odical story regarding the purchase of the California and Nevada Railroad by the Valley road is now going around. A | thorough invesugation of the facts, how- ever, shows that although the California end Nevada Railroad Company would like to sell or do anvthing that would take'the line off its hands, tue Valley road has not as yet msade any arrangements or even entered into any negotiations that might end in purchasing the little narrow- gauge route. The situation to-day is this: The con- troversy between F. M. Emezy and C. H. Smith has been tempo- | rarily adjusted. By the arrangement made F. M. Smiti and Emery have yielded to Charles H. Smith of Denver the | ower to dispose of the road, F. M. Smith and Emery want to have the road turned over to the Realty Syndi- Smith, J. S.| times it has been published that the road had been bonded by nearly everv com- pany that comes within a thousand miles of California. Of course, now that the Valley road has decided to come to Point Richmond, ad- ditional interest is given to the little road that comps down from a point not far from Point Richmond right into Oakland. and connects_with the pier built three vears ago by F. M. Smith at Emeryville, and which has never yet been used except by promenaders and fishermen. The un. erstanding between the Smiths is not very recent, having been made some time ago, but since the aefinite loca- tion of the Valley Railroad Compauy’s | freight terminus at Point Kicnmond, at- | tention has naturally been turned toward the two streaks of rust that for along time have marked the route of the Cali- fornia anu Nevada. As the road isin such a condition that it would be an_absolute impossibility for the Valley road to run a single car over it until it was entirely rebuilt, it is not con- sidered probable by those who know most about such undertakings that the Valley road would give a single dollar for the franchise. There is at present pending a_confer- ence between prominent men of Oakland and President Spreckels of the Valley road, at which the advent of that road in- to Oakland is to_be discussed. Itis con- sidered absolutely certain that the Valley | road will demand at least a free right of way should i: come to this city. Itisnow in a better position 1o demand this than ever, for the California and’ Nevada road cannot be of service to any other road but | the Valley road, and as the -syndicate has declared its anxiety tnat the Valley road shall come through its property, it is not likely tiat they will want to see.the ap- preciation of value of that property de- | laved any longer than is absolutely neces- sary. | Taking all these circumstances into con- | sideration, it is seen that the Valley road bas not yet taken any action in the mat- ter; that the owners of the California and Nevada and the Realty Syndicate are very | anxious for the Vailey people to come into Oukland, and that 1t js bardiy likely that the Valley Railroad, knowing tae value that is set upon its coming to this | city, will feel inclined to purchase any right of way, especially as the most promi- | nent merchiants and officials of Oakland have alreadv expressed their desire to make a substantial offer should the road < RBICHMOND o RS0 § \\i RANCHO EL sosranTE Map Showing California and Nevada Railroad and the Probable Oakland Terminus of the Valley Road’s Competing Ferry Line. that city, and establish another and com- | peting ferry service between Oakland and Ban Francisco. With this idea in view the conflicting interests of the California and Nevada | Railroad have within the past week set- tled all their differences and have piaced their property in shape, to be readily dis- | posed of without danger of future annoy- | ing ntigation. The property is now | in the hands of Charles H. Smith of Den- | ver, and there 15 a movement on foot | Jooking to the Oskland people 10 provide | for the purchase of the property in ques- | tion for the purpose of offering itasa bonus to the Valley road in order to in- duce the latter to come to that city at the | earliest possible day. - | e California and Nevada Railroad ex- tends from Emeryville, just within the | arter line of the city of Oskland, in a | 100p to the north, to Bryant station, | Contra Costa County, a disiance of about twenty miles. Itisa narrow-gauge line, and has notzbeen operated for some time. | Atone point it passes within iour miles | of Point Richmond. As the property now | exists it will have little value to the Val- Jey road, except as to its right of way, | and thisis so tortuous and_of so undesir- | ablea grade in places that it will have to be in large part changed should it come into the possession of the Soutnern Pa- cific’s great competitor. Rails and ties will have to come up and be replaced, snd even the mile of pier built inio the bay at Emeryville will have to be re- viaced with a new structure, extending at Jeast three miles from shore to secure a | sufficient depth of water for ferry steam- ers. This alone, it is estimated, would in- volve sn expenditure of three-quarters of & million dollars. As the bay terminus of the California and Nevada at Emeryville is just on the northern boundary of the charter line of Oskland, provision in the shape of street- car lines'would have to be made for tae distributior. of p2ssengers on the other side of the bay. At present the only streetcar line that reaches Emeryville is the San Pablo avenue cars. Emeryville, Berketey and all the country thereabouts would undoubledly be greatly benefited shouid the Valiey road_be in-{ duced to operate a ferry line from Emer: ville to San Francisco. It is understood that should the new road engage in the undertaking there would be nothing half way about the enterprise—the service would be first-class in every particular. It 1s reported that the Oskland com- mittee which has veen appointed to treat | with the Valley road is already st work seeking to secure rossession of the Cali- fornis and Nevida Railroad, with- the cate, which bas for two years past been bonding &l the property contiguous to the road at Emeryville. Charles 8mith, who has a large interest in the road, 13 opposed o its peing absorbed by the syn- dicate, and consequently they Lave tem- vorarily turned it over 10 him for the pur- pose of letting him try and sell it. In the event of his not being able to doso he will probabiy let it go to the syn- dicate. In the face of all the circumstances it is not at all unlikely that the Valley road, if_itshall come to Oakland, will be pre- sented with tue franchise of tha little narrow-gauge road. Sucn un event is not at all improbable, for the presence of the road would give to ihe thousands of acres bonded by the syndicate a value such as they will never have until a through road is built. F. M. Smith, the president of the syndi- cale, was seen at his home in East Oak- land to-day and said that he was not in a position to talk about the matter, but re- ierred to Frank C. Havens, the manager for the borax dealer. Mr. Havens staed that the Valley road | will naturally want to come to Oakland, and that tne syndicate wanted il to come over the California and Nevada tracks. “We have succeeded in getting this prop- erty,” said Mr. Havens, ‘because we needed it. S. Emery’s land at Emeryville and we need a railroad to make that land valua- ble, and we wanc that road operated. Things are now in such shape that I do not see how the Valley road can come into Oakland any other way, and we in- tend to do everything in our power to make it 10 tha advantage of that road to come over our iine,” Robert Watt, vice-president of the Val- ley road, who lives iu this City, is anthor- ity for the statement that no arranxe- ments have yet been made with the Cali- fornia ana Nevada road. “We have not arranged for ary ferry system,” said Vice- President Watt, ““nor for the purchase of the little road. We need first an en- trance into 8an Francisco for freight, end then we will turn our attention to Oak- land passengers.” For over two years the Realty Syndicate consisting of F. M. Smith, \V.’L Dingee, F. C. Havens, E. A. Heron and others has been quietly bonding every available lot of land along the route of the little nar- row-gauge road. For a long time it has been no secret that thev were doing this for the purpose of trying to_seil the road to some other company. and ai different A few days ago we acquired J. | | see fit to extend 1ts lines from Point Rich- mond into this city. HAVE GREAT POWERS. An Important Decision Relative to the Board of Dental Examiners. The Supreme Court has rendered a de- | cision of no little 1mportance r-lative to the power of the Board of Dental Exam- iners oi the State of Californis. John D. Van Vieck holds a diploma of graduation from the American College of Dental Surgery of Chicago, issued on April 2, 1894. A month later he came to | 8an Francisco ana presenting his diploma to the State boara asked fora certificate nd license to practice the profession of ais choice. The board refused to do so and Van Vleck apolied to the Superior Court for a writ of mandate to compel the State board to doas requested. In the Superior ‘Court Van Vieck was successful and the board demurred, which demurrer was overruled. From this juigment the State board appealed to the Supreme Court. This tribunal held that the matter of issuing aminations on certificates or diplomas irom colleges or schools is purely discre- tionary, and that the standing of . colleges who issue diplomas and the rights of holders to their possession are.aiso for the examiners to determine, and that such | decisions are necessarily conclusive and final. ‘In the conciuding sentence the court says: “There is no ground for a mandamus, and the order of the lower court must be reversea and the same re- manded with direciions to sustain the de- murrer.” ———————— Merchants’ Association Review.

Pretty Ballets at the Tivoli in “Don Juan, ad Lib”—N w Elood at the Alcezar Theater. Love-making and the selfish intrigues of Charles II's court are the themes of *His Grace de Grammont,” the romantic comedy by Clyde Fitch, with which Otis Skinner opened his engagement at the Baldwin Theater last night. The linked | sweetness, long drawn out, of the love- making and counter love-making is scarcely a strong enough motive to fill four acts. But there are some telling sit- uations in “‘His Grace de Grammont,” and the picturesque costumes and settings of the restoration period, which were faithfully reproduced in every detail, made the play a series of charming pic- tures. ‘“The Merrie Monarch,” as chroniclers who condone Charles II's high-rolling pro- clivities love'to style him, is presented in anything but an enviable light in “His Grace de Grammont.” Clyde Fitch has not minced the siate of morals, or rather the utter absence of morals, which pre- vailed at his court, and the ‘‘goings on’ of the wittiest and wickedest of the Stuart kings are enough to make any American thank the Lord that royalty has never had | a chance to disport itselt in the land of | the free. In fact, the glimpses of restora- t1on morals are calculated 10 jar the sensi- bilities of the descendants of ‘the Pilgrim Fathers, The plot of the play centers round the | attempt of the fickje Charles to win the | affections of fair Mistress Hamilton, who | in the first act falls in love withi tue Count | de Grammont, an exile from Louis X1V’s court. Grammont from all accounts has' been as great a high-roller as the Merrie Monarch before he feil under the spell of Hamiiton’s charms, but true love makes him reform, and thencefor:h he discards his former flirtations and soars above court intrigue. Two ladies with whose affections Gram- mont has dallied are not 5o easily shaken | off, however, and they manage to pat | several spokes in the Chevalier’s wheel. Twice is Grammontgoaded by his enemies | into speaking about Charies before his | face in a way which almost made th Merrie Monarch cry “off with his head. The last time the Chevalier was already on his way to the Tower for high treason, with a prospect of decapitation 10 follow, but in the end Charles was induced to be generous and not only pardon the cheva- lier but bless his banns with Mlsuess“ Hamiiton. * Ouis Skinner was excellent in all the phases of the Chevalier’s role, both as the impassioned iover and the indignant sub- ject. His picturesque restoration cos- tume suited him well, and there was nothing that one_cou:d have. wished al- tered, except to have wished him more voice for his song. It is 1mpossibie to spesk in too high praise of Maud Durbio’s Mistress Hamil- ton. Her appearance was extremely pic- turesque and youthful and she acted with a winsomeness and giilish abandon that won her the house. Frederick Mosiey's make-up as Charles 11 was strictly on_historical lines. Any one familiar with pictures of the Merrie | Monarch could not fail to be struck_with the Iaithiul reproduction of the King. Mosley acted his part almost as well as he looked it. Rose Shuman and Eds Aberle were satinfactory as the two ex- flames of Grammont, though he showed questionable taste in admiring two ladics who looked like caricatures of the “‘new | woman.” Sarah Trua acted well, and | looked picturesque as Lady Castlemain, and the Test of the cast was satislaclory. At the Columbla. It 1s & touching picture of the home life during the Civil War tiat Russ Whytal has portrayed in his charming arama “For Fair Virginia.” Bronson Howard and Gillette went to the front for the stirring scenes in tneir war dran Whytal. with keen insight, stirs bis audiences with the strength and loyalty of the | women who sufferea and prayed, counting the | heartbeats 1o the muffled accompuniment of the cannon’s roar. There is nothing startling, nothing abso- lutely new in this war drama. It is simply n charming story of Jove and devotion charm- ingly toid. Each succ-eding act strengthens the slowly untolding piot, and the last act finds the plucky Yanice in the arms of a van- quished but huppy “Jounny” and the South- ern heroine safe in_the shelter of her loving husband’s arms. The villain, ob course, is vroperly vanquished, as he should be in sny selfrespecting pliy. A number of delicious love scenes run through the drama,and the cigareite-rolling episode is at once deligntiul and novel. Mr. Whytal, who, by the way, is an actor as well a8 & playwright, has surrounded himself with _an excellent company for the interpre tation of his piay. With a praiseworthy un- selfishness he abandons the noble lines of the hero to Frank Doane, who made a manly Southern soldier, quite worthy the love of dainty Nell Denbar. The author-actor took care of the villain's lines, and fairness demunds that it be said he is & better dramatist than an actor. rs. Whytal wes the fetching Yankee girl and immediately found favor with her audi- -ence. Heraction is spontaneous by nature and her graceful presence lent muen to the many proity scenes in which she was the con- tral figure. Miss Maoel Bert looked the typical true Southern aristocrat. Heracting has improved considerably since her last appearan = here, and she was indeed 8 “Fair Virginia.” Miss Lottie Briscol vlayed Julia Esmond,ome of the most natural child’s parts ever created, in 4 most pleasing manner. 1f shecouid bo in- duced to suppress her “popper” and “mom- mer” she would do much to add to her all- round excellent performance.

Grand Opera-House. “The Dago,” which received its first San Francisco performance at the Grand last night, is an cffective melodrama which contains s number of sensational scones, purticularly the fire scene, where Baby Lewis, the persecuted Deiress, if the means of rescuing her facher from the flames. John F. Pierson, the villain of the stock com- pauy, has a congenial role as the “Dugo,” who for the sake oi filthy lucre steals an infant heiress. Mortimer Snow is quite at home as Gerald Morton, tne banker, sud Leslie Morosco livens up maiters as Huppy Days, the bar- keeper. Among the other members of the long. cast who ingratiated themselves with the public were Harry Leweliyn, an Irishman, with 3ongs anda dauces, and Nat W. Wills, who added to | his list of tramp characters. Irma Fitch repeated her success of last week as the maid with songs; Baby Lewis was excell.nt as the infant heiress, and the other Daris were satifaciorily filled. At the Alcazar. Augustus Thomas' four-act comedy, “New Blood,” was presented at the Aicazar last night with the full strength of the stock com- pany. As usual the play was well mounted, and the costumes worn by the ladles were well worthy of mention. As & matier of course, George Osbourne carried off the honors of the periormance by s well-sustained character of Cortland Crandali. J. Harry Benrimo made his reap- pearance, after & long spell of illness, as Thomas Kerwin, & master mechauic. Charles Wyngate, Gordon Foster and Kugo foland did some very gdod work in their several roles. Adele Beigarde and Gertrude Tidball wear some stunning gowns.

The Three VilonwSistersare quite as we.l pleased with themselves as they were tweck. Johcny and Emma Ray are still laughing successes. The rest of the pro- gramme evidently pleases, for each act ‘‘goes.” Camilla Urso Concert. A very good audience greeted the colebrated violiniste, Camilla Urso, and her concert com- pany at Golden Gate Hall last night. The ap- pearance of Mme. Urso was greeted with many_rounds of applause and she was pre- sented with a number of floral tributes. Mme. Urso’s opening number was Ernest Guiraud’s “Grand Caprice de Concert,” and loug before sne had completed the ‘“ailegro aprassinato” it was evident that she hand- led her instrument in as masteriy a way as ever. She executed the most difficu(t passages with consummateease and spirit, and charmed her hearers into enthusiasticepplauseiand s determined demand for an encore. Mme. Urso’s other s0los were a “Reverie” b Vieuxtemps and Paganint’s “Witches’ Dance.’ The [atter, which bristies with technical diffi- cuities, was magnificently played. G. H.
