* GREAT RESULTS PREDICTED FOR THE BIG FAIR California Money Could Not Be Expended to Better Advan- tage at This Time. Will Fix San Francisco in the Eyes of the World as the Metropolis of the United States on the Paci- fic Coast. Sentiment in favor of the proposed Pacific Ocean Exposition to be held in San Francisco in 1901 grows with each succeeding day.. -Every stage in the preliminary work brings out more promi- ntly its desirability and feasibility. It is now being generally conceded by the men most interested in the commercial and gen- eral material prosperity of California that an equal amount of money could not be more advantageously expended than in the establishment and maintenance of a big fair. o000 00 es Beresford, the d,flm-\' of an ial agent of Great Brit- | cl ect his- unqu -8 v after his Chamber of enormous commerce and a lzation. dom of this prediction, and in carry- | be_an jmportant factor. people .toget ntion to as would impress upon everybody the per- | manent place of this city as the United States’ metropolis for that vast expected commerce, and that alone would redound | to the cify’s advantage in | amount expendea. “It has from .a commercial has taken p! | read or for the beautifyin, of the city.

White, president of the Southern California University, who has been in Sacramento during the past few days in the interest of the amendment to the con- stitution introduced by Cobb of San Fran- cisco, exempting schools and colleges from taxation. Dr. White, in an address, stated that > bill had been reported back to both louses without recommendation by the Senate and Assembly Judiciary Commit- tees, and that he had used his utmost | endeavors to effect its passage. He asked the assistance of the Ministers’ Union, and that organization signified its inten- tion of alding the well from the southern portion of the State. Dr. E. R. Dille, Dr. J. A. B.

Pavement of Valencia Street With Bitumen Under Consideration. The nucleus of a business men’s associa- tlon was partially perfected at a meeting of the board of directors held last night at Natlve Sons’ Hall, on Seventeenth street. The directors, who were elected at a mass meeting a few evenings since by the merchants and other business men of the Mission district, selected the fol- Suc; first vice-president, H. F. Wynne; second vice-president, E. McCoy; Secre- tary, E. S. Harrison, and treasurer, L. J. Goldman. The appointment of members of the association on the various commit- tees was continued until the next meet- as upon the personnel of these com- ees much of the progress of the im- provment association will depend. of the assoclation, as stated by several of those present at the meeting last night, are the paving of Va- lencia street with bitumen, the repavinj of Sixteenth and other important bus ness streets in the Mission, -and the se- curing of additional lights. When the bond question comes before the people fi)ro\'lsinns will be required making an allowance for the purchase of cemetery lots for park purposes. The old shanties which stand- on the ‘‘flat-iron” section of West Mission street,-the as- soclation says, should be torn down and the grounds converted into a park, as the property by right belongs to the city. It is the intention of the ?mmoters of the association to keep out all small jeal- ousies and work in hnrmun{ to further the improvements of the business portion of the district. The following new mem- bers joined the association at the meet- ing last night: Fred P. Schuster, 427 Va- lencia; J. . Heiss, 500 Valencia; Charles H. Mayer, 3038 Sixteenth; H. C.

M..Higginson, assistant to President Ripley of the Santa Fe road, arrived in town yesterday afternoon with his wife and took apartments at the Palace.. Mr. Higginson is ‘accompanied by his private secretary, W. aumling, and is the third prominent official of the company who has. arrived here during the last ten days. .The other two are George T. Nicholson, passenger trafic manager, and John Player, superintendent of machin- ery. W. A, Bissell, the new Pacific Coast manager for the line, is due to reach hers in a few days and with him will come Paul Morton, vice president of the road. ‘When' they arrive a general conference will be held and it is expected that af- fairs will_shortly commence to liven up in railroad circles. All the gentlemen are extremely reti- cent as to the real purport of their visit and will only say that’they are here for the transaction of business in connec- tion with, the absorption of the Valley road and for the acquiring of proper terminal facilities. It is said that when Vice - President Morton appears on the scene something definite * will occur. In the meanwhile the officials arg look- ing over the ground here and will thor- oughly familiarize themselves with all the details of the Santa Fe's new acquisi- tion. As one of them puts it, “Things will become very warm here in the course of filve months,” but whether this applies to the weather or to railroad affairs has not been made clear. —————————— FILIPINOS DEPART. Will Go to Montreal to Join Their Self-Exiled Associates. The two Filipinos, General Riego de Dios and M. Rivera, who arrived last week from Manila intending te join their asgsociates in Washington, have decided to go to Montreal, and will leave on this evening's train for that place. Mr. vera expresses himself as perfectly as- tounded at the kind treatment he has in- variably received in this city, and deeply appreciates it. When the news of their countrymen's outbreak against the Amer- ican_ soldiers was made known to them on their arrival they felt a little dubious as to the result of “their visit, but their fears in that regard have proven ground- less, and they will leave with a deep sense of the kindness accorded to them. Last night they entertained a half dozen friends at an elaborate dinner at the Occidental. In conversation Rivera said that it was their intention to confer in Montreal with their self-exiled com- panjons and Agoncillo and endeavor to revail upon them to return to Wash- ngton for the purpose of carrying out the mission for which they were origi- nally sent. They are quite positive that after calm reasoning the others will see the wisaom . of the suggested course and in the eveht of their acquiescence they. will make a strong plea with the Wash- ington officials for peace, the consumma- tion of which they say is their devout wish: ——————— A Victim From Oregon. : Mrs. L.

Alcazar Actors in “A Gold Mine.” Juvenile Cakewalkers Score the Hit at the Orpheum. A drop in the attendance at the Colum- bila last night testified to the familiar fact that “Juiius Caesar” is the least pop~ ular of the popular plays of Shakespeare. First of all ‘*“Caesar” lacks in the female interests. Its women are few and subsidiary. It is you might say, a stag play which omits too much that the public love. Leaving the women out of the case sets a relent- less limit to the passicns. Politics, war, man’s love and treachery for his fellow man—these are about all that's left for the womanless playwriter to work on. Even when women were denied the joys of playacting female roles were written and impersonated. That she is able to revenge herself in the present day by gobbling up all the small boy parts in sight is only an evidence of the popularity of the sex. “Julius Caesar" suffers for its over-masculinity. I have read the play often and have seen it on the stage as many times as any fellow of my years, and admire much of it with (I say it in all modesty) something just as good as cant admiration of the classics that is hammered Into us in our schooldays so that we may spout it as a virtue in our after life—but I have vet to see a performance of “Julius Caesar” that fills me with the proper sus- tained excitement. The play s not cumulative in its dra- matic effect. It does not grip you and carry you along in its inevitable fate, as “Othello” does, as “Macbeth,” as “Ham- | let.” Divide the piece where Caesar dies and you will have two fairly different dramas. Cut it oftener and you will get as many more as you want. I can ad- mire the stabbing scene, the orations of Brutus and Antony, the quarrel. scene, -a hundred lines that make famous.quota- tions, and the pictured pomp and stride of old Rome; but for the life of me I can't admire the play as a play.- And in making | this statement I copiously-use the per- sonal pronoun, not so much because it is. a habit of mine to do so as because this is merely an individual note and not the chorus of the whole paper. Those who don’t agree can consider “Jullus Caesar” all ‘over again, and then, still not agree- ing, regard this in the light of a confes- sion: The best individual work in last night's performance was done by Mr. Warde in the part of Marc Antony. It would be & very. hard matter, 1 should say, not to do.weli in Anteny. What there is of the part is all plums.. In the funeral oration it offers one of the best single speeches in the literature of the drama; und since modern ' stage management has . tralned the mob: to supply applause independent of ‘the outside audience, faflure in this oration is the last thing the actor has to ‘worry about. It. becomes simply a question ‘of how well he does the scene. And with all. respect to the late Ned Buckley, - who played such a brilllant An- tony with Booth.and Barrett, I think that Mr. Warde's is as finé an Antony as this generation has witnessed. There is some- thing more in it than firecracker oratory; there is a touch of satire, a noble scorn for the swayable passions of the mob. And the emphasis and the ‘‘husiness” that illumine the reading and give dignity and definiteness to the. most extravagant phrases and the most obvious herofcs—it is in the mastery of such detail ‘as well as fn the breadth of the general concep- tlon that Mr. Warde attains to the su- perlative of himself. So far in the season this is the first chance that I have had to praise Mr. Warde without stint, so I cheerfully make the most of it. Mr. James was the Brutus, a good big strong Brutus that left nothing . undone and overdid little; and Mr. Collin Kem- per was ‘“‘dignified and impressive’’—about all that any actor does in the part of Caesar. The rest of the cast did fairly well—not to mention several interesting pecullarities in the mob—with the unex- pected exception of Barry Johnstone, whose work, usually so sure and easy, was very much to the bad in an over- wrought Cassius. ASHTON STEVENS. California. A year has’ gone by since the Black Pattl and her tuneful companions, and the witty and versatile Ernest Hogan, the prince of black comedians, gave San Francisco a taste of theilr quality, but they were remembered as kindly and wel- comed as warmly last night as though they had not been gone a week. Patti has not changed since her last appearance. She has. the same cheerful voice and the same atroclous style of singing, the first making the hearer glad, the second sad. The show. is brimful of fun, broadenin into farce, but it.1s all good natured nng mirth provoking. There are three pretty girls in the lot, so White of skin as to ex- cite surprige. Hogan, the inimitable, is at his best. His new .song, “If They Only Fought With Razors the War,” captured the house. ‘‘Ann Eliza, ime Girl,” A by Judson Hicks and Mattié Phillips, was sung and danced with spirit. The buck dancing by the girls of the company was a much: applauded feature of the enter- tainment, The best serious number of the even- ing was_“The Armorer's Song,’ from Robin Hood, by James Lightfoot. ~The sextette. from ‘“Lucia di Lammermoor,” sung. by Black' Patti, George Holt and the chorus was deservedly encored. Tivoli. The Tivoll scored another genuine suc- cess last night. ‘“Madeleine, or the Magic Kiss,” is one of the brightest and most catchy comic operas that has been seen here in many moons, and should prove a drawing card for weeks to comie. . The large audience accepted the play from the first number, and recalls were so fre- quent that it was nearly. nfidnight ‘before the. curtain was rung down -for the. last time.. The story of ‘“Madeleine, or the Magic “Kiss,” is based on a legend concerning the | house of ‘De Grimm, which prophesies that any Baron of that line who remains the - age -6f 100 years, ma his: hundredth birthday, - ¢ years ufgen off his age, I providing -hé -is kissed before noon of that day by a maiden who has at- ‘tained her majority g}thout ever having been kissed by man 8 X The Baron de Grimm' has remained a bachelor_and has raised his ward Made- leine under a solemn promise to give her maideén kiss to -him on his hundredth birthday. Many amusing complications Erow'oux of .this state .of ‘affairs.

Miss Anna Lichter was admirably cast as Madeleine, and her ‘singin~'in the en- semble of the second act was so thrilli: that the audience would not.be denled, and the number had to be repeated. Phil Branson as the Baron de Grimm, Arthur Boyce as Francoig, the steward, William Pruette as Auguste Deutch, alias Frederf Ribeau, and Miss Ida Wyatt and Miss Bernice Holmes as Gourmet's daush- ters were well .cast and did exceptionally well. - Add to these facts the perfection of the staging and the splendid work of the orchestra, and it is no wonder: there ‘were 0 many recalls last night. ~ % .. . .

Ev- ‘erard and Adelalde Fitzallen represents t}u; Hon. - Mrs, Meredith, the Baronet's sister. ¢ Orpheum. Thé most successful of the new turns at the Orpheum: this week is furnished by Carter de Haven and Bonnie Male, juve- nile vaudevillians. They call their act “A Naval Reserve,” and it is quite dull and amateurish in arrangement until to- ward the close, when the young per- formers sing a ‘‘rag” and do a cakewalk. This cakewalk is the hit of the turn. In fact, it is the hit of the entire new bill— full of graceful poise and the real fancy nigger movement. P. C. Shortis, a vete- ran banjo player, does some lively work on that now almost extinct instrument, the fretless banjo, besides giving popular imitations on the violin. It is only justice to Mr. Shortis to say that his banjo ren- dition of “The Georgia Camp Meeting” is quite drowned in the noisy orchestral ac- companiment. He sounds to_much better advantage when accompanied only by the plano. The other new turns are hardly u%to the mark. The Nobles’' new sketch, “Bilgeville Junction,” is not nearly so clever as “Why Walker Reformed.” Con- roy and McDonald do a lamentably old- fashioned Irish act, and Long and Keeler are no nearer the spirit of the present in & turn whose principal characters are a Corbettlike dude and a sentimental tramp. Professor Macart's cultivated dogs and monkeys continue in popular favor. Chutes.

Carreno’s second recital, which was given in:thé Metropolitan Temple last night to a fairly numerous- audience. She per- formed the . Bach-Liszt Fantasle and Fugue in G minor, the first Beethoven so- nata of the 27th opus, a group of Chopins, another_of Rubinsteins and the Schubert- Tausig. Marche Militaire. Also she played the MacDowell Etude de Concert, a wel- come tribute to the American composer, who so seldom gets a hearing in his own country. The recital wds an enthusiastic success,. Carreno was in splendid mettle and_displayed all of those remarkable qualities of temperamient, analysis, tone- color and technique that were discussed in an earlier issue. Three times was she compelled to reappear before the audience at_the close of the concert. Carreno gives her positively farewell re- cital in _the same hall' to-morrow after- noon.

False Reports From Russian River Caught a Number of Gullibles. The recent report from the Russian River that good steelhead flshing awaited the anglers of this city has proven to be a very false rumor. However, & number of enthusiastic anglers rushed to Duncans Mills last Saturday and Sunday anticipat- ing royal sport and also the pleasure of surprising thelr friends with ‘“fresh run fishes'” on their return home. But the gullibles who. ravenously bit at the false reports.that were dispatched last week from Russian River returned, of course, sadder and wiser men. Of the fifteen trollers who fished dili- gently on Saturday and Sunday, not a singlé man hooked a fish or saw a scale; in fact, there was not a fish to be caught, as the large - steelheads ascended the stream during the freshet of a few weeks ago, leaving only a few straggling young- sters of three or four pounds in weight, which are now working up the river in quest of the eggs of the larger fishes. A few spent fishes were taken last week by Messrs. Cross and Wilson, and their cap- ture gave rise to the report that a Iresh run 0? steelheads was on the way, The outlook for steelhead fishing on Russian River this season is, indeed, very poor. - Still, if there should be among the angling fraternity any member who is de- sirous of an outing, ‘the trip to Duncans Mills is assuredly pleasant because of the | many chaniges of beautiful scenery en.| route. The boating on the river is very enjoyable, allowing that a gleasure seeker | {s ‘provided with his own boat, otherwise he must pay handsomely for a hired craft. —————————— Gladys Is Now in Jail. Gladys Matheney, who recently attained notoriety’ by imaking repeated -threats against the life of Victor Demartini and confronting him’ with wicked looking uns, has at last found a resting place or her love-sick soul in the prison house of the city. She was arrested last night by Officer Maloney and lodged in the Cali- fornia street policé station on a charge of vagrancy. Victor will breathe more easily now. — e Death Created an Estate. Joseph Leggett made application yester- day for letters of administration upon the estate of Frank O'Hanlon, who was killed in the Pacific Roliing Mills on April 9, 1897.

This estate, it is set forth, ‘‘consists of a cause of - action | against the Pacific Rolling Mills Company | for causing decedent’s death by wrongful | act and neglect, for which the company is held responsible.” e Bames Wants Damages.
