EDSON —— . —— IS AT STOCKTON. Confers With Citizens on the Railroad’s Unjust Dis- crimination. STOCKTON, May 10.—Railroad Com- | missioner gathering Edson spent the day information here concerning the operations of the Southern Pacific grain | schedule against this city. He met with several prominent citizens, and at the conference they laid before him facts and figures showing the unjust diserimination against Stockton. When seen after the conference the Commis- sioner said: “I am informing myself. This is too fine country to be discriminated against.” “Do vou think the other Commis- sioners will act as fairly?"” ““Well, I cannot speak for the other members,” replied the Commissioner. NEWS AND GOSSIP OF LOCAL THEATRICALS The theaters offer nothing of a serious nature this week, but quite an assortment of more or less comic attractions. At the Columbia Mr. Frohman's production of “On and ON” Is remarkable for an ex cellent company and a smooth, well bal- anced performance. The farce itself will not set the bay a-burning, but played as it is by this polishad company it is a more than acceptable bill. At the Alcazar it is the piece rather than the acting that attracts attention. Not that “His Japanese Wife” is a first rate farce in its present shape, bul in spite of some crudities and cenvention- alities it presents several original and amusing ideas. The immorality of Mr. Greene's new work need not be insisted upon, even for the purpose of advertising. The matinee girl may take her mamma to see it with perfect prudence. a The Southwell company is giving an elaborate and creditable performance of “The Little Tycoon,” a comic opera that has not been heard here in something like a decade. Still the jolly “Geisha' at the Tivoli! Next Sunday evening marks the one hun- dredth and final performance.
