With this precedent the unplayed Mozarts and Tschaikowsk, of San Francisco may take heart. E necessary that they should become di rectors of the society before their mu- glc Is played by the society’s band, the barrier to being heard is nothing like as_insurmountable as it used to be. Mr. Zech's symphony, No. 4, in major, entitled *“California,” picting in its eral movements “‘Calm Sea at the Cliff House,” “Jollities at the California Mining Camp,” “In the Gardens of California’” and “Cosmopol- itan Life in San Francisco,” will be re- membered more as the breaker of the society’s exclusion rule than as a seri ous contribution to symphonic litera- ture. Mr. Zech is one of the best of our (o local musicians, an indomitable worker | for all that is best in the professicn he so honorably represents, and a cul- tured appreciator of good music; and now that he has heard his symphony played a second time I will wager that he thinks no more of it than I do. As Dumas said about plays, it is so easy not to write a symphony; and as Ste enson said about books, the amount of | manual labor attendant on writing one demands some respect—so if those who hold the highest form of musical com- position in jealous esteem cannot ap- | plaud Mr. Zech's symphony for its in- vention and inspiration, they can at deast applaud the pains that went into “The Barber of Seville.” “THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER.” 1ing to have the prima | | Rosina to | | 'S | PHOENIX REPUBLICAN CLUB. | iphony was played by Mr. Scheel, | iven if it be considered | and de- A THEATERS Triumph in the Com- | the making of it and the good that may come out of the precedent created by its performance.

The overture was the unfamiliar and unimportant one of Marschner's OpE “Hans Heiling,” a piece that | in its opening measures strongly pre- sages the minor them~ of thelastmov: ment in Dvorak's “New World” sym- phony.

TO EXTEND POTRERO AVENUE. A Movement on Foot to Provide a Suburban Driveway to Bur- | lingame. At a meeting of the Mission and Po- trero Improvement Club, over which T. | B. Slevin is chairman, the question of ex- | tending Potrero avenue to Army street and into the San Bruno road was dis- Popper stated that the club action in the matter of hav- g the avenue extended and the whole roadway from Ninth street to the county line sprinkled during the summer months. He stated that the ervisors appro- priate $10,00 annually for the purpose of keeping county roads in proper condlition, and as the San Bruno road was the only county road to be looked after a portion of this money should be used for that purpose. The Supervisors of San Mateo County appropriate $20,00 annually for adway Irom its junction with San 15c0 to Burlingame, a distance of | 1teen miles. This portion of the road wiilk be sprinkled during the summer months. In view of this it would be no more than right that San Francisco should have its portion of the driveway Accepting the views of Mr. Popper on . it_was deemed proper to have the subject brought before the Mis- sion League of Improvement Clubs at | the next meeting. The question of extending Potrero ave- | to Army street seems to be one of | trouble, there 1S some involved which has so far blocked the project. Some few years ago | a commission was appointed on the ex- tension of this avenue and some of the property-owners paid their assessments. This money is now lying in the and the persons who paid it have re- d no rewards or_ benefits, nor can v get their money back. If is the intention of the league of clubs now formed to ald those people, and also to have the street extended. | “The sewe: tem in this whole district needs a thorough overhauling, and with this object in view the club has taken ice of the very bad condition of the rs and swamps lying_between the Harrison and attention of be directed to the sub, sprinkled. | | a; L~ "Th rd of Health will location. he Super advised the eclub to have the accep street scheduled and | ent in to the board before the next con- | ot is let for tk ob, e city streets in the Missio; n may be enumerated | in_the contract. | State Senator Dwyer stated that he had | called on the managers of the San Mateo and San Francisco Railroad with the ob- | | ject of getting that compa the only | | one that has the sympathy of the people | heart, to_extend its line from Guer- | rero - along nty-third street to Po- trero avenue, thus giving the people in | that section an opportunity of reaching the park and also of getting to and from | the cemeteries in San Mateo County. S S e It Passes Stirring and Patriotic Resolutions. The regular meeting of the Phoenix Re- publican Club was held last evening at | Scottish Hall, 105 Larkin street. At the last meeting resolutions were adopted approving the course of the ad- tration, which were sent to the Pres- , and a reply over his signature king the club for confidence was re- ceived. The following resolutions introduced by Senator T. C. Maher were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Spain War between this country and cems to be inevitable, and the American a nation of peace, has been forced in iterests of humanity to cry a halt to h barbarities in the island of Cuba, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Phoenix Republican Club of San Francisco, feeling a just pride in th ion of Willlam McKinley, President of the United States, whom the people irregpective of | party indorsed for his conservative and wise | statesmanship in avolding an immediate con- force the demands | ple’s Representatives in Congress, | action having cemented all parties rth, the South, the East and the West, in one solid phalanx marching in the in- terest of humanity for the freedom of an op- sed people; and be it further Resolved, That this club, with its member- ship comprising veterans and sons of veterans and members of the National Guard, living in all portions of our city, tender our services | for the upholding pf “Old Glory' . nd avenging Spanish treachery that sent the Maline, her | gallant officers and crew to the bottom of the | Barbor of Havana. —_—————— PLAYED FOR CHARITY. | Histrionic Soctety of Trinity School | on the Stage in Behalf of Maria Kip Orphanage. Augustin Daly’s popular comedy, *7-20- 8, or Casting the Boomerang,” was ably | presented last evening in the Bush-street | theater by the Histrionic Society of Trin- ity School for the benefit of the Maria | Kip Orphanage.

[ETER MONEY [LLEGALLY IEELD Gas Company Admits That It Has No Right to Deposits. A Victory for the People Comes From the Suit of Henry James. The Corporation Plainly Shows Thay It Had No Claim to the Money. The case of Henry James against the San Francisco Gas and Electric Com- pany was on trial before Justice of the Peace _ arry yesterday, and while the Justice reserved his decision, it resulted in a victory for the plaintiff personally | and the public in geperal, in that the company admitted that it had no right to demand a deposit from gas-user In making this admission, Attorney Rix, for the company, made the rather startling statement that the company never “demanded” a deposit, but that ' customers usually made a voluntary contribution in order to protect the company from loss, Mr. James, who was represented in a legal way by Frank McGowan, was placed on the stand and gave the his- tory of his dealings with the company, beginning about five years ago, when | he ordered a meter for his house and was compelled to make a deposit of $5 before his order could be filled. When he afterward found that the demand was illegal he determined to recover his money, but his applications for its return were refused, and then he brought suit for the amount, claiming that it was illegally held. In the cross-examination Attorney Rix tried to bring out the point that the deposit was a voluntary contribu- tion to the capital of the corporation, but only succeeded in showing the money was given under duress. It was also shown that Mr James was not in- debted to the company and that he had no other animus in the matter than- desire to be the custodian of his own | cash. Cashier Barrett of the Gas and Elec- tric Company was placed on the stand by the defendant and swore that the deposits were not for meters, but were purely voluntary contributions request- ed as a matter of business. A copy of a letter was produced which had been sent to Mr. James offering to refund the $5, and it was developed that this offer was not made until after the writ- ten demand for the money had been re- fused and suit filed. Then, as Mr. Bar- rett naively remarked, the company thought it best to pay back the money | for the sake of peace. He said the re- lation of the $5 to the company was in the nature of a part of the contract be- tween tae company and the consumer, but Justice Barry posed the cashier when he asked what consideration was given for the $5. Justice Barry reserved the decision until next Monday morning at 10 o'clock. —_—— Embezzlement Charged. B. O'Brien, a salesman for the Chicago Clock Companv on Market street, was arrested yesterday afternoon on a charge of felony embezzlement. He is accused of selling thirteen pieces of dress goods valued at and appropriating the money to his own uses and purposes. O'Brien declares that the articles were stolen from his wagon.

Adams of Stockton had been turning over in his mind for quite a time the advisability of pulling up stakes and going to Alaska, but de- layed his departure, because he was interested in watching the progress of the war scare. Along in the early part of March an agent approached him with lottery tickets for sale, and in a lucky moment | Adams transferred a dollar to the agent, taking in exchangg therefor ticket No. 24833 in the lottery of the Seneficencia Publica of the City of Mexico. March 24 that number won the capital prize of $60,000, and Mr. Adams' quarter share netted him $15,- | 000. He therefore considered that home | iInvestments judiciously made will reap | a richer harvest than Klondike ven- tures, and there is also the advantage of not having to endure untold hard- ships. Zrings The Beneficencia Publica is the only | lottery in Mexico, which is guaranteed and protected by the Mexican National Government. The authorities appoint an official, known as the intervenor, who supervises all drawings of the company, and an officer of the Treas- ury Department sees to it that the prizes are paid to the persons who hold the winning numbers. This in- sures to the patrons of the company that the drawings are honestly con. ducted and that the institution is thor- oughly reliable. It is by reason these facts that the Beneficencia Pub- lica is so popular on this coast and that so many of its capital prizes are drawn here. | __Mr. Adams sent through Wells Fargo ixpress to the office of Metzger & Franklin, 35 New Montgomery street. n Francisco, and received the $15,000 without annoyance or delay. —_—————— | ARRESTED AT THE PRESIDIO. A Condensed Milk Inspector of Oak- land Is Found in Fort Point Ex- | amining the Guns. | A man giving his name as McCullen and claiming to be from Oakland was ar- i :d yesterday noon at the Presidio un- | der rather suspicious circumstances and locked up in the guardhouse to wait a | further examination, which will be held | this morning. | It was shortly before noon when one of | the cavalry sentinels saw the man follow one of the Presidio wagons as it drove | into Fort Point, where are the big guns. | The man had on civilian's clothes. This | went into the fort and found McCullen ‘npparemly examining the guns. | once arrested him and took him before | the officer of the day. The man claimed | to live in Oakland on Tenth street, and gave the number of the house. Lieuten- ant Nolan telephoned the police of Oak- land_and found that there was no such number upon Tenth street as McCullen ave, gMcCul]cn said that he was an inspector { of condensed milk, but could give no | reason for being in the Presidio. It is thought that he has not good sense, as he | talks in a rambling and disconnected sort | of way. It was first reported that a Spanish spy _had been arrested. The offi- | cers of the Presidio laugh at the idea of ! the man being a spy. for they consider | him no more than a demented wanderer. | However, at the examination this morn- | ing, the condensed milk inspector will | have to give some good reason as to why | he was prowling around the guns or else serve time inthe guardhouse. —————— RIO DE JANEIRO IN PORT. The Passengers Joyful Over the News That War Is Declared. The Pacific Mail Steamship Company’s steamer Rio de Janeiro reached port last evening too late for the quarantine of- ficers to board her, so she anchored off Alcatraz. The fifty-four cabin and fif- teen steerage passengers were eager for war news, and when informed that war had been declared expressed their ap- proval with cheers. The steamer left Honolulu on the even- ing of the 14th instant. The rumor had been freely circulated there that the United States had decided to annex the islands, and one of the passengers stated that the papers had published the report and it was accepted as a fact by every one. —_————— Dislikes His Attentions, Gertrude Amsel, a singer in the Thalla, swore to a complaint yesterday charging Harry R.

Many Able Speskers Will Be Heard During the Session and Success Seems Assured. The California Conference of the Ep- worth League Convention was formally opened last evening at Metropolitan Tem- ple in the form of a convention chorus. All day long the artists had been at work decorating the interior of the hall with the league colors, white and scarlet, and | by the time the first note issued from 25 | throats in the evening the hall was turned into perfect harmony with the surroundings. For the past few days the members of the league have been arriving in this | eity from all points, and it can easily be | seen that the convention will be a suc- | cess from all standpoints. The stage in | the temple presented a beautiful scene. A chorus of 230 voices wds assisted by Miss Nellie Rogers, mezzo-soprano; Richard Mo barytone; Armand Solomon, solo violinist; H. Bretherick, organist; Mrs. Murdock, pianist. The entire matter had been left in the hands and under the su- | pervision of the concert committee and | musical directors, Messrs. Robert Hus- band, J. J. Morris and W, C. Stadtfeld. { BEarly in the evening the hali was filled to the doors, as every seat had been sold and standing room was at a premium. From now on the exercises will be held | in the Howard-street Church until the last day of the convention, when the clos- ing exercises will be held in Metropolitan Temple, where the convention was opened. The programme which was rendered last evening was particularly well chosen. It was as follows: Organ voluntary.

Stubbs, in Asnland, Ohio. Colonel Stubbs was 79 years of age at the time of his death, and had been a resident of Ashland for many years, though he was a native of Pennsyl- vania. He fought all through the Civil War, being at one time attached to the staff of General Garflield, and later on beirng promoted to the head of the quartermas- ter's department in North Carolina with the brevet of lieutenant-colonel. A At the conclusion of the war Colonel Stu@bs entered the insurance business, white he acquired a fortune and retired to devote the remainder of his life to study and the quiet enjoyments of his home. He was a man of deep learning, being not only a lawyer of considerable erudition but a profound theologian as well. In life he was a man o at charity and kindness of heart, and leaves many friends on both the Atlantic and Mornin, Away Pacific coasts who will mourn his death. The funeral will take place in Ashland to-day. The deceased leaves a widow and five children. ————————— THE COAL CASFS. A Demurrer to the Complaint of A.

Chandler demurred to the complaint on the ground that thé& com- plaint did not state a sufficient cause of action, and that the specific statute al- ltged to have been violated had not been properly set up. Robert Y. Hayne appeared for Chand- ler, and A. L. Black for Saumet. The complainant was given ten days in which to amend the complaint. ———————— A Good Time at Loyola Hall.

The festivities commenced at 9 o'clock, but it was much later than that before the tired merry- makers broke up and left for their homes. W. C. Billington and J. J. Lynch acted as a committee of arrangements, and the way they attended to the duties of thelr office caused many a complimentary criticism to be passed. —_————— Read in next Sunday’s Call what President Patton of Princeton Uni- versity has to say about the Pigmy Poets and second-rate statesmen of the present era. ——————————— CALIFORNIANS IN NEW YORK.
