Considerable surprise is expressed here | at Schalkburger’s delay in getting in| touch with Dewet, and it is thought that omething unusual must be behind it. | But even if the Orange Free State and Transvaal officials agreed to peace it would be necessary for both re- ics to call a meeting of the com- manders and submit the proposals to the burghers before they could be submitted to Lord Kitchener.

FATHER JACQUET LIKELY TO RECOVER HIS HEALTH NOME, Jan. 17, via Seattle, March 31— h a blizzard blowing in their faces and trudging along almost mechanicall Dr. S. J. Call, Paul Kegstead and Erll Johnson- narrowly escaped drowning 1 the icy waters of Norton Bay while og’] the return trip from Holy Cross Mission, whence they had taken Father Jacquet, the demented Jesuit priest. The trip from Nome to the mission with Father Jacquet was-an arduous one and often taxed the patience of Dr. Call and his companions. Father Jacquet at times was extrefely violent, and had to be . watched night and day. His own exer- | tions weakened him considerably, al- though when Dr. Call left for Nome the | father had improved mentaily. He is be- | ing_well cared for at the mission and | probably will fully recover. The round trip from Nome to Holy Cross and back was made in fifty-one days—excellent time considering the state of the weather. oy Negroes Kill a Contractor.

R s 4 TH Melbourne MacDowell a — F you are looking for thrills the Grand Opera-house is the place to gb this week, with “The Empress Theodora” for the bill and two sure- enough “meat” lions m the cast. In the second scene, first act, after a very long “two-minutes intermission” by the way, the curtain riSes upon Tamyris’ home, under the hippodrome, with the aforesaid monarchs of the forest slenderly- caged to the left of the stage. It is not of the gospel according to Sardou, but exciting, nevertheless, when a black- garbed person rushes on the stage and pokes one of the lions to a perfunctory | roar and a gentle tread that shakes the filigree cage In most picturesque and earthquaky fashion. The black-garbed persan then enters'the cage, apparently apologizes to the lion for his disturbing attentions and walks out, snapping the door in a manner that only half con- vinces the house that the cage is morc than paint and canvas and the kingly bLeast safe for the night. Nero, the other lion, seemed to be having a very goud time and was among the most attentive spectatbrs of the play, He seemed par- ticularly interested in the butterfly figure of Florence Stone and was probably con- jecturing what a good time he could have were t'other dear charmer away. The interest was reciprocal, Miss Stone keep- o il 0% SIDNEY DREW ORmPHEUM - ing her weather eye on Mr. Nerq when- ever the “business” led her near his cage, to the wicked amusement of the large audience. Macdowell's work in the part of An- dreas is well known and it was about tne same as wsual. His clear, forceful ut- terance and graceful presence are ex- hibited to fullest advantage in the role, that is of the best in his repertory. Mlss Stone as Theodora shows a marked ad- vance over her last year's performance She has galned both in emo- tional strength and freedom, and though she has much to learn in the fining of her work, she gives a very creditable and pleasing conception of the Empress’ char- acter. Mr. Mayall as Marcellus appeared to exceptional advantage. He has done nothing so_convincing and effective for months. Gardner Crane’'s Justinian hit the key of the character fairly well, Mar- | garet Terry was useful as Tamyris and Lillian Albertson was also pleasantly in evidence. The plece is very well mounted and should see a good week’s business. Columbia. The rather improbable and dubiously moral play, “The Christian,” opened its second week last night at the Columbia with its regular “Glory Quayle,” Miss Leslie, still on the sick list and repre- sented by her understucy, Helen Wethers- by. It was a distinct disappointment to the audience that expected to see Miss Leslie in the role, and many of them went away with the feeling that they had been “goldbricked” again. San Francisco audi- ences are more than tolerant and are patient ‘and long suffering.. They have in the past borne with equanimity the handing out of a six-bit play to a dollar- | and-a-half audience, as in the case of “Way Down East” and *“‘Arizona,” and | the indisposed nights of Calve. “The Christian,” witii its religious mock he- 1oics, passes for the genuine thing upon the average audience that has paid its $150, but it must not be wondered at that there will be dissatisfaction when the leading lady appears only three nights the first week and when the grammes for the second week announce that Helen Wethersby will continue to be the “Glory” ef the cast. There was a perceptible thinning out of the audience last night, especialiy down stalrs, where there were large gaps filled with unin- spiring chairs. ana unless the public is treated more fairly the auditorium may be expected to yawn with vacant seats. The excellent acting of Mr. Morgan, of Mt. Rowan and Carrie Lee Stoyle, the latter braveiy jumping the ‘difficult hurdles of the Scotch dialect, was ap- preciated. California. The Al G.

Following the minstrels the California will present what may be claimed its star attraction of the season—the famous col- ored comedians, Willlams and Walker, and their own company of sixty.peopis, in *“The Sons of Ham.” "This big organiza- tion jumps here direct from Philadeiphia and will remain at the California for two weeks.” It has just closed long 'runs in New York, Chicago and Philadelphia, and comes out to the coast now for the first time.

Si- mon, Grace Gardner and company pre- sent a very clever skit, *“I'ne New Coach- man.” The work of Grace Gardner is par- ticular., good. She has an appearance that is very pleasing and puts into the part of rs. Devonshire, the bride, enough of her own personality to greatly enhance the value of the piece. Gorman and Kcppler are very clever people and the Melani trio are as clever musicians as have appeared here in some time. Pa- pinta, the wonderful, is still dancing with the same skill and grace and Frank Lin- coln, though suffering from a heavy cold, is still amusing. The Drews are as pop- ular as ever, and the biograph, which closes the show, has some very fine views. Alcazar. The comedy, “Brother John'' with 1ts exquisite blending of humor and pathos, | was presented at the Alcazar Theater last night to a crowded house. The last some years ago by Maclyn Arbuckle and | his company and the success it achieved | then wiil undoubtedly follow it now. is full of genuine human interest and ap- | peals to the purest and best in one’s na- ture. The presentation by the stock co pany last night would be hard to excel. This bright comedy will shine as one .f the best productions of the season. George Osbourne, as the honest, lovable | hatter, John Hackett, gave a conscientious and admirable portrayal of the part. Not a point was missed and he certainly | scored a marked success. M. L. Alsop gave a realistic representation of the gambler, Henry de' Ruyter. and earned the unstinted applavse of the audiénco. Henry Shumer was excellent as Edward Kidd, and the same can be said of Royal Dana Tracy as Bobby Hackett. Howard Scott, Zellah Covington and_ Walter Be- lasco had congenial parts. Marion Con- vere was charming as Hetty ..0lan, Hackett's forewoman, who wins his love, and Agnes Ranken as Maggie Rolan and Oza Waldrop as Sophie Hackett did full ustice " to the parts. Lilllan Elliott as leck Hackett was clever and convincing. Margaret Wycherly was Helen Van Bprlfiue. in love with De Ruyter, and had another opportunity of showing that in emotional parts she js capable. Juliet Crosby as Maria, Hackett's servant, helped greatly in the success of the comedy, while Baggo Conklin was effect- ive as Mrs. Van Sprague. The play is well staged and should have a successful run. Central, A melodrama of unusual strength en- titled “The Sleeping City” was presented at Belasco & Thall's Central Theater last evening and no better comedy drama has been seen at that popular playhouse for some time. There was any amount of 290d comedy to offset the many thrilling ard sensational incidents of ‘the f"y' City!” is of the .good old type of melodramas, with its traditional villair, 'hero and heroine. One of the scenes is extremely sensational, showing the daring escape of one of the characters from 8ing Sing by leaping from the prison wall to the top of a passing express train, After his escape he rescues his brother from a burning building, the sit- uation calling for a very realistic and complete fire scene. ' Annette Marshall was a charming Ethel Baintree. and George P. Webster a manly Jack Morton. Willard Blackmore won favor as the brother, Lo ey Ross is always conscientious heavy and he carries out le character with much earnest- ness.. James Corrigan and George Nich- | “The Slee»lngr | for New York in quest of new plays and | olls' furnished much of the comedy, as did Kitty Belmoure, who was an excel- lent Maggie Riley. Georgie Cooper, Ruby Miguel -and -Ernest. Howell .comoleted. a strong cast. The production scenically was evidently an extra effort, the first scene being especially beautiful. The show is well worth seeing. ‘“The Land of the Living’ follows. % Tivoli. - “The Serenade”” began the sixth and last week of its phenomenal run at the Tivoll last night with the usual large and very appreciative audience. Ferris Hart- man, apparently, can never give hi€ hear- ers enough of his inimitable fun-making. Edward Webb, in his clever little charac- ter sketch, is ‘also a great favorite.. An- na Lichter, Harold Gordan, Francis Gra- ham, Annie Meyers, Arthur Cunningham and Willlam Schuster are all appearing to the fbest advantage in this production and lose none of their weil-deserved pépu- larity as the season progresses. The Bos- tonians scored a hit with ‘“The Serenade,” but the Tivoli Company has outdone them by far, in the way of patronage, at least. The management at first made arrange- ments for only a short run, but week after week the attendance has been so great as to demand repeated continuances. “The Fortune Teller,” which it is ex- pected will be met with a great deal of popular approval,” will supplant, “The Serenade” next Monday night. Fischer’s. “Little Christopher” drew a good audi- ence to Fischer’s Theater last night. The bright and funny songs and the effer- vescent merriment of the burlesque elicit- ed plenty of laughter. The performers indulge heartily in the comicalities of the burlesque and consequently it .rattles along at a merry pace. The march of the pretty girls and their fencing in the last act were features much applauded and well deserved a flattering encore. The management is preparing for the production next week of ‘“Fiddle-Dee- Dee,” a mirthful burlesque fhat has met | with success in New York and other | cities. This is heralded as one of the finest shows in America. GOING EAST TO SECURE PLAYS AND NEW TALENT Frederick Belasco, Manager of Alca- zar and Central Theaters, Wants Best of Both. Frederick Belasco, manager of the Cen-~ tral and Alcazar theaters, leaves to-night He expects to be gone four and has made arrangements to hold meetings with leading theatrical managers. Mr. Belasco hints that he will bring out a play of great importance for production at one of the theaters under nis management. He will join Sam Thall in New York and decide’on the people who will play at the Alcazar at the close of the Florence Roberts season. Mr. Bel- asco also intends to get some players for the Central Theater and a number of new melodramas. Knowing the impossibility ‘of securing seats for his brother's great play, ‘‘Mme. du Barry,” Mr. Belasco telegraphed to him to hold two seats for him for next Monday night. In an interview last evening Mr. Belasco stated that it was the intention of the management of both the Alcazar and Central theaters to give the local play- goars an opportunity to see the latest and est plays. He says his trip East means a great deal, as he will secure the rights for. producing the latest' New York suc- cesses. During the absence of Mr. Belasco both theaters will be looked after by M. E. Meyer. OLD BOARD TO SERVE LESS THAN A MONTH Baltimore Syndicate Is Now Salecting New Directors for Street Car Systems.
