For the first time, the Berkeley “co-ed” will take part in a public performance on the ge, but it will only be done be- it will be for the interests of the sty caus, unive; When “‘university week” was decided upon and a production of R. W. Tuily's famous junior farce selected as one of the events there was a decided ques- tion as to whether the young ladies of the cast would take part in the public production. It was one thing to walk SUMMING UP OF HOLMES' CONCERTS | | Mr. Jack resigned as cashier, that place HE symphony season is at an end. he final concert of the series took place yesterday afternoon at the Grand Opera-house, and Mr. Henry Holmes laid down his baton with- out, it mi be said, having wielded it in any case with the magic of the master. I know nothing of the internecine war- fare that raged in the camp of our sym- phony .cult at the beginning of the present season, and from w Mr. Holmes sprang as a full-fledged and accredited leader of symphony. In my ignorance of the causes that gave rise to undignified display of petly jealousies and recrimina- tion I am ready to suspect that Mr. Holmes was forced Into a usurpation of the post of conductor by some over-zeal- ous and undiscriminating hero-worshipers and equally ready to doubt that he him- self sought a position he was o little cap- able of 1illing. In offering an estimate of the work per- formed during the seas comparison as a measure of merit, yet the standard by which we judge must be in the/ mind if it be not pronounced. The contrasting of Mr. Holmes and Mr. Scheel has been, of course, inevitable and there can be but one conclusion drawn. We h had one musician, who, as a leader of orchestra, was dowered with a de which the in- or is almost_pitiful. that man. He was ot granted the pecuniary support that stood in good stead of the present )n_and he did not have at his dis- p the admirable array of instrume talists that has worked with Mr. Holme: sheer force of his enormous genius (a strong term, I admit, but a just one) he gave a value to whatever he touched well nigh unsurpassable. A review of the son would be but a catalogue of inel 'nt interpretations. | Tschaikowsky, Schubert, Schumann, Be thoven and Mendelssohn have been suc- cessively butchered, and all of merit that there has been in the concerts is due to Mr. Marquart, a not too ented musi- cian, and the worthy workers of the rank nd flle. 1 believe Mr. Holmes to have attainments of no ordinary character; he is equipped with a superior technical knowledge, but the essential attributes of the maestro are not the formalism and perverted from which he is Inseparable, e is' a want of spirit, passion, tem- his grasp of the bigger things In muslec so variously inef- fective. He is wanting also in rhythm- | sense and the judicious direction of tempo | and he has ai times conducted numbers with which he was evidently ignorant of | the construction, much less the purpose and possibilities. Yesterday's concert began with Schu- mann’'s “‘Manfred,” which was very well executed by the band, particularly in the finale. The symphony was Mendelssohn’s “Scotch,” wherein the orchestra again ac- quitted 'itself commendably. The ada- gio, thanks to Mr. Holmes, was posi- tively racy and in the last movement, al- legro guerriero, the secure workmanship of the musiclans hardly avalled agalnst the utter fosence of vitality and spirit essential to its proper rendering. Not only did Mr. Holmes faii to give force and color to the movement, but he conducted it with a more than usual Jooseness. He indicated his accents in the most_haphazard fashion and frequently lost the pace and place altogether. The Tschaikowsky ‘““Scherzo,” which is quite beyond his ken, was interesting in itself and the band played it acceptably if with- out sensational effect. The ““William Tell” overture followed, and thus ended the inglorious symphony season of 1900. PORTER GARNETT. —_——————— TWO BOLD BURGLARS. Entered Several Buildings in High- land, but Took Only Coin. Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN BERNARDINO, March 15.—Two burglars worked Highland, five miles from here, this morning early, going through two packing houses, a black- smith shop and a general store. They were seen at the latter place by Mrs. True, wife of a drugglst across the road, who ‘called her husband and Henry Lin- ville, and all three watched one burglar bore out a place In the door, enter the store, ransack it for an hour and come out, another burglar keeping guard with a Winchester. They secured 325 in cash, but took no goods. As they departed Linville opened fire with a revoiver, but the five shots failed to either increase their speed or stop them. Before robbln? the store the men searched two packing houses for cash, breaking open drawers in the search, but got nothing for their pains. In one house they opened every drawer but one and, muklnf up their minds there was nothing there. left. The drawer con- tained $150 in gold. There is no clew to the robbers. —_— Bank Reorganized.

The possibilities of getting the track team East made “university week” necessary, so when this list of demands was presented to the young ladies they decided that they would, in the Interests of the university, make just this appearance before the mis- cellaneous public.

Special Dispatch to The Call. BOISE, Idaho, March 15.—The raflroad construction forces have encountered an unprecedented obstacle on the Northern Pacific extension from Stuart to the mouth of Cottonwood Creek. Directly in the line of location, from which there can be no deviation owing to the canyon walls, are thirteen graves in a row, graves of Indian children whose fathers and mothers live in the Kamath Valley. Just the width of thirteen graves is the land needed by the railroad. The prog- ress of the railroad is not delayed by force of arms, but by the awe Inspired by the universal sentiment of grief for the dead. The cngineers prepared to remove the dead from their resting places. The boxes were brought and unloaded at the graves. Then came a pathetic scene that stopped every spade. From the hearts of mothers burst forth nature's language of grief. It was an appeal that no man from official to shoveler could resist. The boxes that were brought to hold the dead lie there rted as though a curse had fallen on stoner, who has settled so many disputes with the Indians, is appealed to. a new sentiment to combat. No price will influence these disconsolate mothers. No court will condemn a right of way through a city of the dead. he Indians and the whites, however, have faith In Beede, but he says this is the most deli- cate commission ever imposed on him in his thirty years in the Indian service. WIDOW ROBBED. House of Mrs. Longmire at Willows Entered and Money Taken. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. WILLOWS, March 15.—Some person as vet unknown stealthily entered the home of Mrs. Emma Longmire, a widow, early this morning and robbed her of $370. The burglar entered the bullding by cutting a | hole through a screen on the window and crawling over the foot of the bed iIn which Mrs. Longmire was lylng. Having gained access to the room the thief en- tered a closet, which was within two feet of the head of the bed, took a small to{ bank from the shelf within, stepped bacl into the bedroom and proceeded to coollg; remove the contents of the bank, whici amounted to $3%0. He would have escaped without notice had he not dropped a $20 gold plece on the floor. The noise of the dropping coin aroused Mrs. Longmire and she uttered a cry, frightening the robber, who beat a hasty retreat through a back door, tak- ing the remainder of the money, $370. | The officers were quickly notified of the theft and are now working on the case. They have been unable to obtain a clue but are determined to thoroughly investl- gate the affair. Mrs. Longmire has been sick for the past two months and is yet quite nervous, consequently she cannot give an intelll- gent description of the burglar. She is not in very good circumstances and the loss falls heavily upon her. It is thought whoever committed the crime was well acquainted with the house and the place where the money was kept. - VETEBDIABY ASSOCTIATION.

Everything else is immense. The scerery and costuming are elaborate, and the vocal gems and dainty dances with which the meager story is plentifully stuffed is such as would do honor to a production of talented professionals. To single out any of the performers for special mention would be not only unfair, but impossible.

[ Record Unprecedented for the Season of the Year. WASHINGTON, March 15.—About eight inches of snow fell here’to-day and to- night there is a driving hail, with pros- pects of intermittent hail, snow or sleet until gome time to-morrow. Much of the early snow melted as it fell. The record is probably unprecedented for this locality for this season of the year. Reports re- cefved at the Weather Bureau show that the storm has prevailed over a great ex- tent of the territory east of the Mississip- i River, beginning with a light fall in orthern Louislana. Quite a heavy fall of snow occurred in New York. The storm has reached the borders of New England and promises to extend through that re- glon. Colder weather is following the storm and the indications point to the temperature falling near the freezin) int to-night or to-morrow throughout a arge area of the South. —_———— Trouble Over Cars.
