The California Retail Grocers’' and Mer- chants’ Association is now in its third vear. It found its inception in the fact that the local Retail Grocers' Association learned a few years ago that it could get no recognition alone from the Legisla- ture. The grocers of this city thereupon instituted a campaign of education to help the retail grocers of the varlous cit- ies of the State get together, and now there are nearly forty communitles or- of these associations has e etio hiean 'gnd & “blacklist” of deadbeats and as all are working together through their State association it has SONE REWHITS " AT THE ORPHELM Florence Rcberts Will Appear This Week as Sapho.

Various trade abuses will also be con- sidered. The trade of hotels and restau- rants has been taken largely from the retail grocers. This they propose to remedy, as also the fact that jobbers and manufacturers often sell directly to con- sumers. In order to guarantee a united front in this matter there are to be dele- gates present from Oregon and Wash- irgton to help plan an afiillation among the grocers of all the Pacific Coast States. The president of the California Retail Grocers’ and Merchants’ Association is Joseph A, Stulz of - this city. It was | Anglin engagement. Henry Miller's work in the role of Sydney Carton is unex- celled by any previous effort of this ac- complished player and stands out as onc oi the finest stage portraits of the <day. Mr. Miller is admirably supported. The cast includes the names of most of the members cof the distinguished company recklessly squandered ow the smallest parts. but delightful little figure, and with all her admirable art brought to bear on its tiniest opportunity. Then William Court- leigh, in this play given an excellent chance as Defarge, does some really splendid work in the part. Miss Elliston is all her dainty self as Lucie Manette, Mr. Walcot is the perfection of Mr. Stryver, Charles Gotthold is a manly and very pleasing Darnay, Miss Hornick sur- prises with a strong and melodramatic sketch of “the vengeance,” Arthur Elliott is effective as Dr. Manette and Mr. Thorne as Mr. Lorry and the remainder of the cast fills in to full advantage. The staging is excellent and the big mob scene z thrilling picture. ““‘Camille” goes next week. S5 m . The Frawley company will to-night pro- duce for the first time here at the Grand Opera-house a_dramatization of “Lorna Doone,” the popular novel by R. D. Blackmore. The adaptation is by Alger- non Tassin and is now enjoying a suc- cessful run in London. The vogue of the novel will doubtless contribute largely to the success of the drama in any case, but Mr. Tassin’s is said to be a compact and well built presentation of the story. The drama will be strongly cast. The part of the honest giant, John Ridd, falls to the lot of Wilton Lackaye, who will doubtless do it ample justice. Theodore Roberts is to be Carver Doone, a part that should be powerfully handled by this excellent actor. Alice Johnson will be the Lorna Doone, and H. 8. Duffleld, Gardner Crane, Phosa McAllister and Eva Denni- son will also be of the cast. The next and final week of the Frawley engagement will be given over to ‘Secret Service,” in which Mary Van Buren will make her only appearance this season. PHTR L This week is the last of the Frederick ‘Warde engagement at the California The- ater. The bill, in compliment to the visit of the Pythian Knights, will be ‘“Damon and Pythias,” than which nothing more gracefully appropriate could have been selected. The rama is of the classic school, in which Mr. Warde finds his best opportunity, and tells the familiar story of the heroic friendship of Damon and Pythias, upon which the famous order is founded. r. Warde and Mr. Herman will have the leading roles. On Tuesday evening a special performance of “The Mountebank” will be given for army and navy night. Next week James Neill and his company will begin_the second half of their season at the California Theater with a revival of the popular “Barbara Frietchie.” G y “Carmen” at the Tivoll has filled the | popular house to overflowing the last week and will this week be continued as Miss Anglin plays Mimi, a small { -had learned. L largely through his devotion to his fel- low tradesmen that the organization was made possible. Mr. Stulz was sent to Detroit in 1900 to represent the grocers of California at the annual convention of the Natiomal Retail Grocers’ Association. It was there he was made to realize fully the pessibilities that lay in organization and on his return he gave to the grocers of California the full benefit of what he Mr. Stulz was president of the San Francisco Grocers' Association for many years and has been president of the State Grocers’ Association since its. inception. Its secretary, Ludwig Warnke, is a prominent grocer of Ala- meda. Its treasurer is Daniel T. Keefe. a grocer of this city, who was sent to Milwaukee in January of this year to rep- resent California at the National Grocers’ convention. Under the spell of Mr. Keefe's eloquence the National Grocers’ ociation voted to ccnvene at San Francisco in January, 1904. Arrangements are to be made at the convention to-day to have a strong delegation to go to the next national con- vention, which meets at Kansas City in Junuary, 1903, to see that the convention is not won away by some other city. At the session this morning addresses will be delivered by President Joseph A. Stulz, Aaron H. Powers, State organizer and editor of the Retail Grocers’ Advo- cate; D. F. Keefe, John A. Goodrich of Pasadena and others. The afternoon will Dbe spentjin discussion of important trade problem: In the evening the guests will be banqueted by the Oakland grocers, who ‘have engaged service for 240 guests. AON-WORKER BADLY BEATEN David N. Jones Is Beset in Park and Kicked in Faca. David N. Jones, an iron worker, residing at 2641 Harrison street, was badly beaten at Golden Gate Park yesterday afternoon. Jones was watehing the boys play ball at the public grounds, when some one called him “scab.” Immediately he was set upon by a dozen men and clubbed and kicked on the face and body. Leaving Jones unconscious his assail- ants escaped before the police arrived. Officer Mangan conducted Jones to the Park Emergency Hospital, where it was found that besides several contusions of the head he had suffered internal injuries. Jones says that his assailants were men from the Union Iron Works and that he can point them out as soon as he is able to leave his bed. @ ciiiriviiriiini il @ alternate bill with “Norma.” Collamarini is in excellent form and her support, in- cluding Signor Russo as Don Jose, Tina de Spada as Micaela and Emilio d'Albore as the toreador, Zani, Cortesi de Paoli, Anna Wilson and Gertrude Hopkins, are all effective in their various roles.
