Miss Atwood raised her eyes and stared at Humphreys, her look expressive of in- comprehension. “AWw,” he says, “ain’t yer wise? Trow ver chest out and strut around just llke r owned the Palace Hotel. Dis is der scene wot makes the gallery whistle the loudest.” Miss Atwood meekly obeyed his request and the rehearsal continued. Never had Mason Mitchell, the well-known actor and stage manager of the Central, seen one to equal it. Mr. Mitchell is a gentleman of the old school, and laughs inwardly. Not so the younger members of the stock company. Their laughter at times was unrestrained, but Humphreys, who caued |1t all by his suggestions, delivered in choice Bowery slang, seemed unmindful of the furor he was creating. His soul McGovern, Champion Feather-Weight, Will Be the Star. mn . phreys excitedly said: ‘Hully fiee! ais is a funny coinsky. Why, der dame wot played dis part in New York was named Courtney.” During one of the acts Mr. Humphreys wanted two of the actors to pose and make a pretty stage picture. He yelled to them: ‘“You two guys frame yerself.”” His advice to the man who im- personates Charley White, the famous referee, was as follows: “You does der refereeing. You gets in and makes a sneak under der ropes and goes into der ring and sizes up the two culls, and den yer have a adlib talkbefore the audgence. Den yer gives der timekeeper der hand and he sounds der gong.” Miss Courtney asked one of her fellow actors to repeat a line so she could get her cue to come on. Humphreys told her ‘“to cut dat out’ and to “take her tip when der guy was trew chinnin’.” Terry's strongest line is sprung on the audience in the third act. He enters the highbinders' headquarters and finds a bot- tle of drugged whisky on the table. The gallery gods hold their breath .for fear that he will be knocked out, and when he picks the bottle up, smells it and says: “Whisky, hey? Dat's der stuff dat's killed many a good one, every one breathes more freely and there is boisterous ap- plause. 3 S I DAy | ,Z?’ CoumTNEY 1AS NELL S/, HERE S \HERE ] CcLIMB DE LADDER AND ESCUE DE LOIDY "SaD %E%C H‘GO\IEg’N .

If the play comes up to the rehearsal it will score a hit. Terry McGovern is the bright particular star, and he shines with @it EIGHT H & brilliance that surpasses the iridescent glimmer shed by his diamonds. Terry is feather-weight champlon of the world, but, Jike Corbett, Jeffries and that honest old blacksmith red-haired Bob Fitzsimmons, he has hopes of making a name in the histrionic_world. Marvelous Ducking of Bougquets. Terry is modest on the stage. He knows when to sidestep from the center when a brother actor has the stage, and he does not blink or fret when opera-glasses are leveled at him. He gesticulates with as much grace as he displays in the ring. Even in rehearsal he warms up and leads with either hand. His ducking of the bouquets shied at him in the course of the play is marvelous. But Joe Humphreys is the “goods,” as he would put it. Owing to the poor man- uscript it was necessary for some one to teach the actors the business. Sam Har- ris delegated this important task to the announcer, and Humphreys accepted it with pleasure. The first, rehearsal he attended won him fame in the eves of the entire com- pany. Humphreys, after “’sizing up” the aggregation, made his little bow and ex- patiated at length on the fine points of the drama. Growing eloquent, he said: “Say, when Terry rescues der goil in der fort act der guys out in front go nutty. Dat ladder scene is der limit. Yer see, Terry’s goil is in a lLop joint, and he rubbers around and gets wise dat the villyun is goin’ to moider her.

TO CONSIDER THE STRIKE SITUATION The results of vesterday's proceedings jeft the general aspect of the strike situ- | ation unchanged. Meetings c{ both em- | ployers and employes were held and each | seemed confident of victory. The poss! bility of a general strike is now exceed- remote and the labor leaders are positive that they can accomplish their ends by other methods. The Cooks’ and Waiters' Alliance held a very enthusiastic meeting at 300 O'Far- | rell street last night and was addressed by delegates from sister unions. All promised the heartiest support, both fin- ancially and otherwise. Representatives from the Butchers’ Union stated that they would give all possible assistance | and even walk out if it should be deemed | expedeint. ‘Several smaller restaurants | have requested union cards and union em- | ployes from the alliance, although none | of the larger establishments have as yet | About 80 cooks met at the ’] Temple' last night and considered meas WMEMORIAL PLANS OF GARFIELD" POST Ceremonies to Be Held at Grand Army Plat in 0dd Fellows’ Cemetery. 1 The veterans of James A.

The union voted unanimously to abide by whatever decision the executive committee might make. About $100 was collected in ald of The plan which was ap- proved was that adopted by the leaders of the Labor Council. This plan is to is to call out a number of men from those branches of trade which supply restau- rants and thus cripple the service of all. Means will be adopted, however, that the union places shall not suffer. It is con- sidered that this worrying process will better advance the cause of labor than plated and urged by many previous to vesterday. The Bakers' Union makes the statement that the employes of six large bakeries will be called out to-day. This will in- volve nearly 100 men. The complaint is that the bakeries on which the strike is made have been supplying non-union houses, contrary to agreement. The attitude of the Labor Council is PETITION FOR AID TO IMPROVE MISSION ROAD Property-Owners Ask Board of Super- visors to Make Appropria- tion. The property owners on the southern section of the Mission road have forward- ed to the Board of Supervisors a petition for the improving of that thoroughfare from Silver to Onondago avenue. For this contemplated work they ask the Super- visors for an appropriation of $16,000. The wording of the petition makes the propo- sition clear. It is as follows: The Mission road is the main outlet from the city, the only practicable route to the the natural and most fre- oute for all traffic southward from condition during quented the city. TIts months is deplorable, caused by the excessive and heavy traffic thereon. The property- owners have already expended on the road about $8 per front foot for grading, macadam- izing, sewering and wlidening, and are still ready to contribute toward its maintenance; but in view of the character and volume of the travel it is impracticable to keep portions of the road in good repair with macadam and the property-owners consider it unfair to com- pel them, at their cost, to put down a perma- nent pavement to accommodate the through travel to and from the city. The cost of a permanent pavemerit between Silver and Onondago avenues will be about §32,000. This outlay would place the worst por- tion of the road permanently in good condltion. The property-owners propose to raise by sub- scription about $6500, and feel assured that they can raise from patrons of the road about $3500, and think that the city should appropriate $16,000, considering the importance of the road and the public character of the travel thereon. —_———————————— Caledonian Club Games.

Following our usual custom during this month, we will close out a lot of odd framed pictures at exactly one-half price, Sanborn, Vail & Co., 741 Market street. * set forth in the following communication to the public: Nothing of special importance has developed within the last twenty-four hours. The en- deavors of the Labor Council continue as be- fore along the lines of peaceful adjustment. The favorable signs, however, now apparent might shortly result in the speedy adjustment of the cooks' and waiters' dispute—unless the sinister influences at work for some time past step in and prostrate the work being done. Stronger and stronger is the expression of support to the Labor Council in its conserva- tive course and that leads the men in charge to believe that the next twenty-four hours will materially contribute toward the final re- sult. That result seems favorable to peace. Let every one wich a desire for fairness act. The Labor Council still stands ready as fore to confer with the other side; it still stands ready to insist on ‘*hands oft.” But every move of the other side will meet with a counter move.and then the fates only can tell where it will end. The executive com- mittee of the Labor Council has matters in charge. To-morrow morning at 10:30 o'clock the adjourned meeting of the Labor Council will be held at 117 Turk street. More definite action will then no doubt be taken. W. H. GOFF, President. ED ROSENBERG, Secretary. RED MEN HONOR THE MEMORY OF TAMMANY Large Crowd of People Entertained by Music and Ora- tory.

Which Tetry| 0L PRODUGERS READY T0 WET Petroleum Association’s Annual Meeting Is Called. Various Localities Giving Evi- dence of Faith in the Future. TR N The directors of the California Petro- leum Miners’ Association have decided to tcall the annual meeting of the associa- tion for June 11. There are sixty com- panies belonging to the assoclation and there are individual members also. A new board of directors will be elected at the annual meeting, and there are several in- teresting matters to come up for consid- eration. The association has been in ex- istence a vear. The Pacific Oil Reporter figures that the ten more tanks that the Standard Oil Company is reported to have ordered for use in the Kern River district will, with what tankage it has already there, give it a capacity for storing 555,000 barrels of oil in that district. ‘L'nere are now five 3i,0-barrel tanks erected in the field be- longing to the Standard Uil Company and the muterial for others is on the ground. ‘W. S. Miller, the Pacific Coast manager of the Standard, says he does not belicve the vresent price for oil will continue much longer and that it is too low. This statement will not in ail probability pre- vent the oil producers from going on with their organization on the principle that the first duty of a man in business is to heip himseif and not depend upon some eone else to do his work for him. Mr. Miller has something of interest to say concerning the East, where there is no fuel oil, ail the product being needed for illuminating purposes. If Texas, he says, can produce a great amount of fuel oil there is no doubt that it will come into | immediate competition with coal in the great manufacturing States along the Atlantic coast, but it will never come into competition with California oil as fuel. The Texas oil will probably be sent to tide water through a pipe line and then be transported in tank steamers to dif- ferent cities in the East. It would cost $2 per barrel to transport oil from Texas to California. The California product is superior to that of Texas for fuel. Facts of the Field. A co-operative ofl company is being formed at Grayson, Stanislaus County. The capital stock is $24,000, divided into 300 shares at a par value of $%0 per share. No one is to be permitted to subscribe for more than five shares, The shares are to be paid for at the rate of $10 per share per month, and the first payment is due on May 10 next to J. R. McDonald of Gray- son, who will be the agent until the cor- poration is formed. The total amount is to be paid in monthly installments before any work is to be done. With the work- ing capital the incorporators are to pur- chase land that is favorable for the pro- duction of oil in paying quantities. If after 200 shares have been sold it is deemed not advisable to sell the re- mainder of the shares the 100 shares are to be placed in the treasury for the bene- flt!ot‘ thg s‘gf}a};qdeml The agreement is not to be binding unless ?usbsgrlbud. 200 shares are lubsequent to the discov of see near Cooperstown, so :a‘yfiho Mo%uegg Herald, a promoter giving the Crocker- Woolworth Bank as reference arranged to bond tracts 'of land along the seeming oil belt.

The Democrat says that a well was drilled to a depth of 162 feet for water and when the water was struck gas came up to the surface. The gas be‘g‘glhllgh‘lgd ?nd burne(} brilliantly. en the incorporation papers of the Los Angeles Oil Producerg' Assoclation were filed with the County Clerk $3310 had been subscribed of the capital stock. The association is capitalized at $20,000, the stock being divided into 2000 shares of the par value of $i0 each. The Los Angeles producers are giving out that they do not fear the Kern River field producers, the reason given being that Kern River can- not sell much oil in Los Angeles. The handling of the association’s oil will be based on an agreement of the producers to deliver the oil as soon as it is brought to the surface and that the manager of the association will market it as instruct- ed by the directors, who have ample ower. The contract will probably run or three years. Once before Los Angeles has faced a price of 45 cents for oil. Then the wells were shut down and the price went up in three days to $I per barrel. At Carriso Creek. A. L. Wollberg, who is a director in oil company that has located a large ":Cr: of land in the Carriso Creek district in San Diego County, says:«‘The next thir- ty days I'feel assured will demonstrate that this is the richest district in the State. We have received many applica- tlons for land, but they have invariably been turned down. If the value of the Kern River land amounts to from $1000 to $5000 an acre, a person owning an acre in the new district will be independently rich. Our company, which is composed of prominent business men of this city, | has secured 27,000 acres of patented lan The company expects to com- | mence operation in the near future. It is composed of the following named busi- ness men: M. M. Ogden, J. V. Coleman, R. R. Grayson, E. H. Michels, J. J. Ler- man, H. M. Gorman, Charles Sonntag, J. W. Raphael, Charles M. Martin, Nat T. Messer, Herman Zadig, A. L. Wollberg, Samuel Wheeland, Alfred Fuhrman, F. L. Owen, J. A. Ferson. J. Strassburger, R, | J. Curr, John W. Gray, W. A. Jacobs and Charles W. Mueller. " M. M. Ogden, who | has been investigating the land, claims that he never has seen Indications so numerous and so promising.” In Humboldt County. David E. Gordon writes that work is proceeding in Humboldt County on the | wells that were drilled last year in the Mattole Valley, and that preparations are making for wells in the Upper Mattolle. Frem Mattole Valley to Briceland the same geological formation is observable, with indications of oil and gas. At Brice- land the well water is unfit for use on account of the taste of oil, while the odor in the sandstone is noticeable in many instances. The flow of gas in the Brice- | land well is stronger than when the well ‘was sunk nine years ago. Operations will soon be resumed at Briceland, where sev- eral thousand acres have been leased by a company. There is an oil company at Fairhaven, ‘Wash., that starts out with the ambitious announcement that it will be prepared to | drill its first well to the depth or\2500 or | 3000 feet, if necessary. It will start work | soon, having, the machinery ready for the | experiment. . | Bakersfield estimates that from 150 to ! 200 barrels of oil will be needed to sprin- | kle one mile of its streets. The price for | oiling will be §1 per barrel, and ten miles will be oiled under the supervision of the Seperintendent of Streets. The Oil City Derrick estimates the num- ber of wells completed in the oil districts of the Eastern States in the month of April, 1901, at 970, and the wells drilling at 944, Of the wells completed in the East- ern fields in the month in question .47 per cent were gdry wells. The Derfick also says of gress in the East: March presented the lowest figures in field operations recorded in many months and April has furnished’ the reaction. There has been a general revival of activity in the Pennsylvania and Trenton rock ofl flelds and all sections show a heavy increase in wells completed and new production. April completed more wells than any month so far the present year, but the new production falls short of the January figures. The new work under way Was greater than that of any month since last November, While the efforts of the wildcatters toward the discovery of mew points proved uniformly as demonstrated by the heavy list tory that was iy regarded as’ certain proved the mainstay of the new production.
