MET ROUND THE Mor THE SAN FRANCI ADVERTISEMENTS. “Now Dont Get the Blues.” s When a cheerful, brave and light-hearted woman is sud- § denly plunged into that perfection of misery, the blues, it is a sad picture. It is usunally this way : She has been feeling ovt of sorts for seme time, encing severe headache afid backache; and is exceedingly nervous. Sometimes she is nearly overcome by faintness, dizzi- ness, and palpitation of the heart; then that bearing-down feeling is dreadfully wearing. Her husband says, “Now, don’t get the blues! You will be all right after you have taken the doctor’s medicine.” But she does not get all right. She grows worse day by day, uniil all at once she realizes that a distressing female complaint is established. Her doctor has made a mistake. She loses faith ; hope vanishes ; then comes the morbid, melancholy, everlasting blues. She should have been told just what the trouble was, but probably she withheld some information from the doctor, who, therefore, is unable to accurately locate her particular illness. __Mrs. Pinkham has relieved thousands of women from just this kind of trouble, and now retains their grateful letters in her library as proof of the great assistance she has rendered them. is same assistance awaits every sick woman in the land. experi- sleeps very poorly Mrs. Winifred Allender’s Letter. “DEAR M=s.

One of the most musically beautiful works of the modern school of Italian opera is certainly “La Gloconda™ of Pon- chielli, which is being given at the Tivoll Opera-house this week as an alternating Lill with “Carmen.” The opera is per- haps somewhat overlong, the plot too in- volved and complicated to lend {tself gracefully to operatic handling, but the luxuriance of the musical imagination of the Italian maestro, his original and beau- tiful orchestration, the wealth of melody lavished upon “La Gloconda’—enough to furnish a round half-dozen of the average operas with the commodity—leave a rarely setisfactory impression upon the ear. The scenes, too, and situations are no- tably effective. The staging of the second act, ‘with a real, live moon climbing ““with slow and stately step the heavenly hills”; the old Venetlan courtyard in the first scene, with its gay carnival crowd of pretty Punchinellos, Columbines, monks and maskers; the ballroom picture, too, with its tragic intermezzo of monks pray- ing with lit tapers over the dead Laura— | 1t's all very picturesque.

Alhambra. It was not an audience, but a multitude, that jammed through the doors of the Al- hambra last evening to laugh until the buflding seemed to chuckle at the “howl- ing” sftuations in “Brown's in Town.” Though the Monday nighters were out in force many were forced to take a back seat, for the entire corps of employes of the Emporium enjoyed their annual rec- reation at the expense of the Emporfum management at the theater.

It was his boast that he could paint 2 nude human figure in any position without the use of a model, so thorough was his knowledge of anatomy as that term is used by painters. But there was no demand for figure- paintings of the classic school outside of a few occasional orders for crucifixion and station work from the Roman Cath- olic churches and the artist waxed poorer and poorer every day. In his prime he had a fine tenor, robosto voice, was an ex- cellent musician and knew the tenor roles he given up palnting and taken to sing- ing he would have made a very comfort- abie living. Harrington spent several years in the Transvaal in South Africa in the employ- ment of an English civil and mlnlng en- gineering company and contracted a fever that returned in his luter years to assist tion. Several of his Transvaal sketches were published in The Call on the out- break of the present war between Eng- land and the Boers. The artist had a warm Irish heart and was two generous and sympathetic for his own good. He despised conventionalities and clung to the Bohemian mode of life until the end. He was a native of County Cork, Ireland, 59 years old. Gregory Har- rington of this city is his brother. FATHER YORKE TO TALK ON PRIEST IN POLITICS Lecture for Benefit of St. Peter’s Par- ish Promises to Be a Great Success. A meeting ofs the parishioners of St. Peter's was held last evening at St. Peter's Hail to complete arrangements for the lecture to be delivered by the Rev. P. C. Yorke, Thursday night, at Metropoli- ten Temple,. for the benefit of the im- provement fund of St. Peter's parish. The title of the lecture is “The Priest in Politics.” The demand for reserved seats has been so large that the whole ground floor of the Temple has been set aside for such tickets. Public Interest in the lecture is evidenily great, and for many reasons. The subject is one which is rarely di: cussed in public or from the platform, ;unlcular examples of it form much conversation, especial- Iy at this season.

George Ebner's specialties inter- spersed through the play round out the little vacuums in this altogether enter- taining, laughable farce, Orpheum. This is a crackerjack week at the Or- pheum, and the programme is full of good things in the musical and comic line. Blanche Ring, the descriptive vocalist, has a sweet volce, a captivating manner and a spontaneous and natural way of singing. Her hits at Stockton are hugely enjoyed by the audi- ence, just as the Los Angelenos will en- joy her hits at San Francisco. George Evans needs no write up to make him famous. He has only to be seen and heard. George is more than ordinarily clever and his best business is done with- out effort. Merritt and Murdock, socie sketch artists, do a bit of airy nonsen in the farce line that amused the audi- ence. John W. World and Beatrice Hastings | in their original singing and dancing act, “Keeping an Engagement,” show that their quality is fully up to 'the Orpheum standard, Mr. World's imitations being excellent. Les Frasetties are the best couple in the musical line that have been seen in this place of amusement for many years, the lady producing a soft, sweet tone 'of the violin in the selection *II Balen- from ‘“Trovatore.” Von Suppe's immortal *“Poet and Peasant” overture, played as a duet on the xylophone, is ren- dered all-the more effective by the artistic and discreet accompaniment of Rosner’s orchestra. The hold-overs, Lizzie B. Ray- mond, Rauchle, Edgar_Atchison-Ely, the | twin sisters Hale and Everhart, the hoop juggler, are as popular as ever, Alta. ““The Blue and thé Gray,” a war drama, was produced last evening at the Alta Theater in the presence of a large and appreciative audience by the E. J. stock company. The piece is well staged, the camp scene in the third act eliciting much applause from the spectators. Miss Maud Miller as Ruth Peyton, the daughter of the Confederate colonel, put considera- ble force in her actln% an with her lover, Mark Stanley Clifford Dempsey, won the sympathy of all. E. J. Holden as the rebel spy did some clever acting in his sanctimonious enacted by affectations, and the comedy element was | well carried out by Harry Rattenbury as the Irish corporal and George Nichols as the old colored servant. Fischer’s Concert House.
