People have raved over tha gounger ones, in particular little Daphne and Madge. They both have made many conquests in the city, and the chances are that the company would go away with- out them if they were a few years older. The show throughout goes with remark- able smoothness, leaving the ages of the children out of the question, and -there is no doubt that the Pollards have caught on. Matinee Saturday and Sunday. Next week “A Galety Girl.” | “For Fair Virginia’” is pleasing Alcazar patrons, and the drama has a cast that has not often been equaled in Alcazar annals. Miss Marion Convere as Virginla Esmond is winning laurels for herself, and Margaret Wycherly makes a most attractive Nell. Edward Esmond is well taken by M. I. Alsop, and the rest of the cast is all adequately cared for. Next week ‘“We-uns of Tennessee” will be put on, and will be the occasion of the reap- pearance of Miss Juliet Crosby, the fa- vorite actress. LT “The Lights o' London,” George R. Sims’ thrilling melodrama, is being very well given at the Central Theater this week. The management has put its best into the mounting, and some of the scenes are really excellently done. The cast con- tains thé Central’s principal stars, among them Hallett Thompson, the new leading man; Willard Blackmore, Ernest Howell, Annette Marshall, Oza Waldrop and Ma- bel Pennock. Next week “The King of the Opium Ring,” an enormously suc- cessful melodramatic piece, will be given. - T . ——s —~ This week's programme at the Orpheum is full of good things. “The Girl With the Auburn Hair” is creating a legitimate sensation, the Fraser troupe presents some excellent Scotch and Irish dancing and Fred Niblo, the ‘‘American mono- loguist,” tells new stories, Adelman, the xylophone virtuoso, also | produces’ sweet music. Lillian Burk- hart's new playlet, “The Eighth Year,” has made an immediate hit and she and her capable company get several curtain calls at every performance. The Onllaw trio, sensational aerialists; Burton’s com- edy acrobatic dogs; the Lockos, scientific bag-punchers, and the biograph complete an excellent bill. mann family of six bicyclists will make their first American_appearance, coming direct from the London Hippodrome.

WARNS CITIZENS AGAINGT APATH Congressman Loud Says Seattle Is Getting Our Trade. Favors Policy of Selfishness as City’s Hope for. Prosperity. —_— Congressman Eugene F. Loud, in an address delivered last evening before the Richmond Improvement Club, declared that the inauguration of transcontinental railroad communication in 1869 marked the commencement of San Francisco's retrogression, and that -Seattle, unless prevented by the strenuous efforts of San Francisco’s friends, will soon control the frade of the Orient as well as that of Alaska. 3 It was the regular meeting of the club, ‘which Is one of the most active organiza- tions of its kind in the city. Congress- man Loud has been a good friend to the Richmond district, and his presence at the meeting last night was made the oc- casion to extend to him the district’s thanks for past favors. The Congressman was Introduced by Chairman O. K. Cushing and spoke in part as follows; . When I addressed this club a year ago I told you that all I could speak to You about was What 1 didn’t know about improvement clubs. It is embarrassing, you know, to & man who talks only politics to talk about improvements. Improvement clubs, I see, have been establish- ed all over the city. They have been establish- ed for the benefit of the respective communi- ties. City’s Retrogression. With-the coming of the transcontinental rail- road in 1369 San Francisco’s retrograde move- ment_began. It continued until 153. Up to 1869 San Francisco controlled the trade of the It was the distributing point for the entire West. The .incoming of the transcontinental line and subsequent rail- road development caused the establishment of distributing points all over this territory. This all came from San Francisco's championing the cause of outside places. San Francisco took the lead in the protest which led to the establish- ment of all these terminal points. We began with Reno. This was followed with others, and gradually the railroads took away from San Francisco all the increased trade. From 1869 and until 189, when the Spanish- American War began, San Francisco has lived on the trade of the central and northern parts of the State. The outbreak of the war brought San Francisco to the front as the city in the center of the universe. Men of means began to look to this port as the place from where the trade of the Pacific would ultimately be con- trolled. But we can’t sit down and just let all this happen. We must fight for our posi- tion. Let San Francisco become one grand im- provement club. Seattle is now running us a sharp race. She has secured the Alaska trade and now blds falr to get the best of the trade with the Orient. Seattle works for Seattle. Let us remember that selfishness is the controlling factor .of success. Humanitarianism is beauti- ful only theoretically. If you bave anything you don’t want, let the other fellow have that. We can compete with the rest of the world only when we put ourselves on the same plane as the rest of the world. I hope to see men of all classes in this city working together for the best interests of San Francisco. Seattle and other places will take care of themselves. Elected an Honorary Member. In response to some questions regard- ing the postoffice in the Richmond dis- trict Mr. Loud said the fact that there was no foreign money order department there was the result of oversight on the part of the local authorities. He said the American gustal system. was the greatest in the world. The club adopted resolutions thanking Mr. Loud for his past interest in the Richmond district and asking his services in the securing of more letter carriers for that end of town. The club also elected the Congressman an honorary member, O. K_Cushing, George R. Fletcher and H. U. Joudin were appointed to represent vention on November 22. J. M. Wilkins addressed the meeting and told how a few words spoken to Congressman Loud some years ago had resulted in the es- House. “I know f{t.” he said, “for I'm Post- master and I get $100 a year from the Government for my services.” —_— Beat Horse With Gaspipe. Frederick Carter, a teamster for the Overland Freight and Transfer Company, was arrested yesterday afternoon on a warrant by Officers McCurrie and Hooper of the Soclety for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He is accused on the com- plaint of W. Smith, coal dealer. of beating his horse on Grant avenue Tues- | day with a piece of gaspipe about three | inches long. When Carter was arrested ge claimed he accidentally struck the orse, ADVERTISEMENTS.
