HE presentation of the “Bohe- mian Girl” and the singing of the old plantation melodies by St. Dominic’s Juvenile Minstrels on the night of April 1 bids fair to pack the Alhambra Theater to its fullest cepgeity. The sale of seats is already progressing favorably. Boxes have been secured by Mayor Schmitz, Mrs. William Mills and Mrs. Eleanor Martin and many other friends of the Dominican Fathers. From socigl, musical and financial standpoints the entertainment promises to be a memorable succes The gifted little singers who are to take part in the entertainment are being care- fully trained by Rev. Fathers J. S. Jcnes and J. R. Newell. The sweet, clear voices have frequently been heard in their own parish, but this will be the first occasion on which they secured a ‘arge theater for the display of their.wonder- ful talents. Reports of their achleye- ments, however, have been spread broad- cast and there is a universal desire to hear them. One of the special features of the oc- Ea — CLEVER LITTLE FOLK WHO WILL APPEAR IN THE “BO- HEMIAN GIRL.” - — casion will be the singing of the old plantation tunes of the Somta by a pleked — iroupe of seventeen boys, ranging from 12 to 15 years of age. The little. girls Lave already won an enviable reputation in the presentation of the ‘“‘Bohemian Girl,” but this will be the first histrionic effort on the part of the boys. The little vocalists are determined to surpass their young lady friends. They have entered with spirit into the practice of the lively melodies and have acquired much pro- ficiency. The boys are all good singers and have been carefully instructed by Father Newell. The proceeds of the entertainment are to be used in decorating St. Dominic’s beautiful church, and the patrons of that well-known institution in all parts of the city are manifesting great interest in the event, The little girls who will take part in the opera are: Albertina Meyerhoffer: Margaret Olsen, In the role of Count Arnheim; Kathryn Barry, Theddeus; Kathleen Roche, Florenstein; Miss Dolly Roche, Devilshoof; Frances Crowe, cap- tain of the guard:; Birdie McKeon, officer of the guard; Edna Walsh, Arline, and May Bird, queen of the Gyvsies, The little boys who will render the Alhambra Theater | | and he also referred to MAKES A PLEA FOR ZIONISTS Jewish Ladies Listen to Address by Otto Irv- ing Wise. Tells of Society Formed to Help Persecuted Israelites. An able address on ‘“Zionism,” delivered by Attorney Otto-Irving Wise, brother of Rabbi Wise of Portland, Or., was the fea- ture of the monthly meeting of the San | Francisco branch of the National Coun- cil of Jewish Women, held yesterday afterngon in the lecture hall of Temple Emanu-El There was a large gathering ‘of ladies prominent in Jewish circles and the ad- dress of Attorney Wise was listened to closely, many of the ladles asking the lec- turer questions at the unish of his re- marks. The persecution of the Jews in many portions of Europe formed the basis of the pica of Atorney Wise for support to the Z1on Society. He vividly described the | awful conditions under which millions of Jews were forced to live in Europe and that the hope of their salvation was to return them to Palestine. The speaker claimed that there was indifference shown by the Jews in America and England to the needs of their brothers and sisters in the ghettos of Eurcpe. The sum of $5,000,- 1000 15 now fn a London bank, subscribed for the purchase of iand in Palestine. He described the success of thirty-four colonies of Jews founded in estine in the past twenty years and pointed out that at the present time 23,000 Jews were | living in contentment and happiness in the Palestine colonies. The work of the Zionist Congress Basle, Switzerland, and the Dreyfus affair in France were told of by Attorney Wise the fact that England had wiped out the Boer republic where the Jews had not received -civil rights at the hands of those who clalmed “to be fighting for liberty and justice. A heartv vote of thanks was given to the .speaker by . the-ladies who had lis- tened to his address. Among those present at “the meeting | were Mrs. M. C. Sloss, who presided; Mrs Andrew Davis, Mr: Mar! Mrs. Phillp Aaronson, A. Esberg, Mrs. J. Peixotto, Mrs. and Mrs. P. Lilient J. Brandenstein, Miss l;ldlwell.

DEGLARES WOM -HELPS DEFENGE ‘Attorney Accuses Mrs. Addie Richardson in Noted Trial REAEAT I SAVANNAH, Mo., March 20.—Mrs. Ad- die Richardson, widow of Frank W. Rich- ardson, for whose murder Stewart Fife is being tried, was accused of assisting the detense by Attorney K. P. Cross In his argument to-day for the State. Mrs. Richardson had, Attorney Cross said, since the opening of the trial per- sisted in remaining in the room, notwith- standing Judge Burns had instructed that witnesses should not come into court un- til called to testify. She had also, he eald, repeatediy passed notes to Fife's attorneys, presumably suggesting some- thing of benefit to the defendant, and the relatives of Mrs. Richardson had assisted the defense in ev 'y way possible. Frank Knickerbocker, Mayor of Savan- | nah, argued for the defense, and in_the ccurse of his remarks mentioned the Dur- rant case in California, telling the jury that an innocent man had been hanged after being prosecuted by the actual mur- derer. He talked at considerable length in defense of Mrs. Richardson, who had already been tried and acquitted of the murder of her husband. Attorney Mayor Knickerbocker is in error. The man who murdered Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams was hanged at San Quentin. \f!ngue‘s Ravages in the Antipodes. —The VANCOUVER, B.
