FIRST GONGERT S00RES SUGOESS Pleasant Musical Affair Given by Mechanics' Institute. The Trustees Purpose Giving Like Entertainments Monthly. | ———— | | The first of a series of promenade con- | certs under the auspices of the Mechanics’ Institute was given last night at the Me- chanics’ Pavilion. The affair was a com- plete success even beyond the expecta- tions of those under whose immediate di- rection it was given. | Fully six thousand people occupied seats | in the big building and the audience was | indeed an appreclative one. | The band stand was located at the Polk-, street end of the Pavilion and was backed | by a huge sounding board that distributed the strains of the music throughout the | building. It is the intention of the insti- tute to give similar concerts at least once a month, and the success of last night's | affair has given no little encouragement to the trustees regarding the outcome of | those of the future. | The institute declares that the concerts are given solely for social reasons, in fact to bring its members into closer relation- ship. The fact that it owns the Pavilion and in consequence has no rent to pay, and that the concerts are managed by trustees who act without salary, gives the | institute of feeling of certainty that its novel idea will gain popular commenda- tion. Following is last night's pro- gramme: Overture, *“Tannhauser” “La Donna e Mobile” (Verdi), J. F. Veaco: instrumental selections—(a) ““Traumerd' (S8chumann), (b) sextet from ‘‘Lucla™ (Doni- J.

Artist HURRICANES IN SICILY CAUSE BIG LOSS OF LIFE | Died in the Storm Are Await- ing Burial. LONDON, Sept. 2%.—A dispatch from | Rome says the death roll resulting from | the recent hurricanes in Sicily is swell- | ing. The bodies of six hundred persons | are now awaiting burial, and as means for | their prompt interment are lacking, there are grave fears of an epidemic. Another dispatch from Rome says that yesterday's hurricane swept the small | towns of Belisasso and Torre Santa Ma- | the province of Catania, Sicily, and destroyed everything in its wake. Many Passo was destroyed, burying a large | number of worshipers. Several shops were wrecked and the population, becom- ing panic-stricken, fled to the mountains. | ROME, Sept. 20.—King Victor Emman- uel has sent $10,000 for the relief of the families of the victims of the recent | storms in Sicily. . Newspapers here say that 300 bodies have been recovered at Modica and seventy-five at Scicll, Bicily. The storm of Sunday unroofed almost all | the houses at Catania. There was a torrential fall of rain and violent wind at Naples to-day. Immense damage was done and telegraphic and raflroad communication and the shipping | in the harbor were interfered with. | It is estimated that as a result of the disasters in Sicily 10,000 people are home- less. DENMARK IS INTERESTED IN ST. LOUIS EXPOSITION Government Will Be Asked to Make an Appropriation to Provide for | an Exhibit. COPENHAGEN, Sept. 20.—An import- ant meeting of representatives of com- mercial concerns took place here to-day in connection with the St. Louis Exposi- tion. Admiral Richelieu, head of the Dan- ish steamship lines and other enterprises, has taken the initiative in waking up the Beandinavians to the importance of being properly represented. The meeting was attended by United of the manufacturers’ associations, of the banks, of St. the Commissioner Louis and many It was decided to convene a public meeting at which a committee will be appointed to urge on the Danish Government the necessity of making an appropriation to provide for Denmark’s official representation. Wen- nerstrum will be received in audience by Crown Prince Frederick to-morrow. The Crown Prince has already shown himself to be much interested in the exhibition. —_————————— Reduced Rates East.

O’'Brien throughout the fight was too fast for the Chicago man. As soon as the fight began O'Brien resorted to jab- bing with his left, following with his right to the jaw. O'Brien kept this up for five rounds, and during all this time Choynski was unable to land a single telling blow. When they came up for the last round Choynski began roughing it. During one of the exchanges he reached O'Brien with a stiff right. The blow cut a deep gash in O’Brien’s forehead, and made the latter furious. Choynski tried hard to follow up his advantage, but he soon showed weariness from the fast pace and toward the end of the round he got half a dozen blows on the jaw that rendered him almost helpless, O'Brien then made every effort to finish him, but the time was too short, though the final bell found Choynski barely able to stand. e S e ‘Will Improve Congress Springs. SAN JOSE, Sept. 20.—The syndicate that has obtained a franchise for an elec- tric road to Saratoga has bonded the Pa- cific Congress Springs property and as soon as the deal is completed will expend $50,000 in improvements, which include additional buildings, a theater pavilion and electric lighting. The survey for the raflroad has been completed to a point between Saratoga and the springs. Work on the road will soon begin. e New York Fire Chief on Trial. NEW YORK, Sept. 20. —Edward F. Croker, Chief of the New York Fire De- partment, was placed on trial to-day be- fore Fire Commissioner Sturgls, who pre- ferred charges against him. The charges are seven in all, and include accusations of incompetency, sending 1n false reports, violation of the constitution of the Statc of New York, conversion of public prop- erty to private use, conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline, and conduét unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. | Charles A.

The attractions were many, a new play, new players, and not least, the presence of the head of the American army, Lieutenant Gen- eral Miles, and his party. A couple of boxes, handsomely decorated with patri- otic greenery and the stars and stripes, were reserved for the distinguished guests, and added much to the generally festive air. The ‘‘Star-Spangled Banner’ from the band announced the arrival of the party, immediately after the rise of the curtain, and Mrs. Craigie's first scene was delayed several minutes to allow the | audience to express its enthuslasm. The | house rose to its feet as the patriotio song was sung, General Miles bowing a stately acknowledgment of the ringing welcome from his upper stage box. It is to be wondered if in his Washing- ton experience General Miles has hap- pened upon a diplomatist of the quality of Mrs. Craigie’'s hero in “The Ambas- sador.” On the whole, Lord 8t. Orbyn seems a very innocent sort of sentimen- talist to send to Madrid or otherwheres upon the diplomatic service; a most con- fiding person, in fact, a target almost too easy for the political bunko gentleman if he were the same in politics as in love. the new leading ness, acts the part like a gentleman, al- though he fafls to convince in Mrs. Craigie's nalve scene at the first act's close, where the hardened diplomat of seasoned years seizes the arm of a former | lame five minutes after the ingenue has plerced him with her fatal eye and hisses; “My first love—and my last!” Lord St. Orbyn's former flame, the Princess Ven- dramini, with her ready-made plots to suit all customers, is also dragged bodily from “The Servant Girl's Own,” but St. Orbyn himself in places 18 quite belleva- ble and there are several characters in the large list that cast their shadows. There is an itch for epigram and too much talk, but some of the dialogue is quite bright, some of the situations strik- ing and not far from the credible, and altogether the play will be enjoyed by a large majority of play-goers. There is a strong situation in the third act, though not by any means new, where the ambassador discovers the ingenue in the rooms of a disreputable gambler, where she has gone to. save her fiance's brother from trouble. This is very well handled by Mr. Millavard and Miss Santje, and also George Osborne as the | gambler, and the fourth act keeps up the interest unusually well. Miss Suzanne Santje, the new leading lady, has the ingenue role of Juliet Gains- borough, and was very pleasing and con- vincing in the part. There are many de- sirable possibilities about Miss Santje. She is refreshingly natural and girlish, and strikes an occasional deeper emo- tional note very happily. Miss Santje joins a piquant personal beauty to her undoubted talent, and is a valuable ad- dition to the Alcazar forces. The leading juvenile is also new. He is William Lamp, a coming matinee hero, and a ca- pable actor, and did the minor part of Vivian Beauvedere with considerable skill. Miss Belgarde showed herself very effi- clent as Lady Beauvedere, a pleasant character in the play, and Howard Scott has the part of his life as her son, the gallant bore, Sir William Beauvedere. The play is staged very effectively throughout. Tivoll. “Norma”” was presented at the Tivoll Theater last night, and duplicated the great success it scored on its first rendi- tion at the Tivoll this season. The house was, as usual, crowded, and the reception given the company was most flattering. Many of the delightful and ever-welcome voices in the opera were re-demanded. “Norma” will be repeated to-morrow and Saturday evenings, “Cavyalleria Rustl- cana” and “I Pagliacei” being the operas which will take up the rest of the week. California. The W. H. West Minstrels played to a full house at the California- Theater last night and everything on the programme seemed to be thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed by the audience. Billy Van is as funny as ever and he caused no end of laughter in his monologue with his inim- itable and catching change of voice. The songs of George Jones, Harry Sylvester and Clement Stewart, — iast named, with his sweet, clear, ring- ing volce, are rendered with exquisite feeling and expression and they all had to submit to the inevitable encore. Frank McMahon and John King are very amus- ing in their sketch and the Ford brothers are exceedingly clever In their exposition of clog dancing. The Zarrow trio do some clever stunts with bicycles and other wheels, and Dan Swift and Fred Huber are clever as musical entertain- ers. Columbia. “The Bonnie Brier Bush” began its sec- ond week at the Columbia last night with an audience whose size and applause were ample testimony of the popularity of this dramatization of Ian MacLaren's charm- ing picture of rural Scottish life and of J. H. Stoddart, the veteran actor. In- terest in the play never flags from the moment the curtain rises on the first act. To those who have read the story the adaptation is especially pleasing. The sweet Scotch melodies, which are ren- dered at appropriate intervals, are also a splendid feature of the production. The humor of Posty is always very prominent, but never ill-timed and is the source of continual amusement on the part of the audience. Every member of the cast seems sulited to his or her part to a nicety and there is never a hitch from start to finish. *“The Bonnie Brier Bush” will be followed on Monday night next by Leder- er's “The Strollers,” in which Miss Mar- guerita Sylva is to star. g Orpheum. The Frederick Brothers and Jessie Burns do a musical stunt at the Orpheum this week that is decidedly clever, Besides being very clever musicians they are comedians of no mean merit. The five midget comedians and acrobats amuse and please by their singing and acrobatic work and Avery Strakosch sings popular songs in a charming manner. Fulgora changes his clothes with remarkable dex- terity and celerity, and O. T. Fiske and Nellle McDonough win much hearty ap- plause by their presentation of “Binxy's Romance.” The exceedingly funny skit, “The Two Jullets,” by Lena Merville, Sid- ney Booth and Marion Elmore afford great opportunity for laughter, and the trick violin playing of John Geiger is a clever plece of work. The blograph pic- tures are also good. Central, “The Police Inspector,” a sensational drama of New York life, by Will R. Wil- son, dealing fully with the workings of the police department of that city, drew a large audience to the Central last night. It was magnificently mounted and strong- ly cast and the audience was loud in its manifestations of approval, the principal people being called out at the conclusion of each act. As Inspector Byrnes Harry Shumer, who is a great favorite at this theater, made the greatest hit of his ca- reer. He acted with spirit, manliness and dash, and the wisdom of his selection of the character was unmistakably appar- ent. Next Monday evening ‘“Where Is Cobb?” one of the funniest farce comedies ever written, will be elaborately produced with new and original songs and dances. Grand Opera House. As Major Wellington de Boots in the militia, Wilfred Clarke opened the week at the Grand Opera-house last night with the laughter provoking character in J. Stirling Coyne’s comedy “A Widow Hunt.”” To see him walk as the little red- headed major is to laugh, one doesn’t know why and one doesn’t care to stop to reason it out. But the laugh comes, and that's what the comedy, or rather farce, was written for. The humor Is rather broad and of the" old juvenile school, the men being llke overgrown boys and cutting up capers that would make a primary class giggle with de- light. Mr. Clarke’s support is of the best, Herschel Mayall's Frank Icebrook and Hardee Kirkland's Felix Featherly being particularly the | all that could be desiréd.

STOCK MARKET 15 SHAKEN UP Net Losses at New York Range From Two to Ten Per Cent. e s Disquieting Reports About the President and Coal Strike Among Causes. NEW YORK, Sept. 29.—With call money up to thirty-five per cent and a number of other adverse circumstances, to-day’s stock market received a very severe shaking up, net losses in many active issues ranging from two to ten per cent. | The greatest loss was sustained by Louis- ville and Nashville. Disappointment re- garding the probable disposition of the road as much as anything else is sup- posed to have caused the break. Other features were disquieting reports concerning the President, the prolonga- tion of the coal strike and the indubl- table fact that London and the Conti- nent are unloading ‘‘Americans” In large blocks. Practically all the money loaned on call to-day came from trust companies and out-of-town corporations and private individuals. The banks of the Clearing- house Association stcod at one hand, de- siring no loans for speculative purposes. Moreover, the so-called substantial terests offered no support to the market, which, with few exceptions, including Atchison and St. Paul, closed at the lowest level. The offices of J. P. Morgan & Co. and other leading banking-houses were ac- tive during the day. Morgan and his assoclates conferred with some of the more prominent financiers, including President Stillman of the National City Bank, President Baker of the First Na- tional, and President Henricks of the National Bank of Commerce. Nonme of these gentlemen would discuss the situa- tion, except to say that further liquida- tion of stocks would clarify the financial atmosphere. The market opened weak and lost all laround, London's attitude having a marked effect in that direction. Call money ovened at 15 per cent and went off a point or two, but soon rose to twenty. In the second hour of the after- noon session 25 per cent was the quoted price, and the highest figure of the year, 35 per cent, was reached In the last half hour. It was in the late trading that prices melted most and the decline was un- checked at the close. Morgan was at his office till late in the afternoon. Asked for his opinfon regard- ing the outlook he sald: ““Things are very much better to-day. ‘We have pald out something like $12,- 000,000 in coupons. I believe the worst s over, but it may take some time for things to settle.” “Do you think the stock market will be stronger to-morrow?” “I am talking about the financial sit- uation, not the stock market.” To one of his callers Morgan Is known to have declared that the control of the Louisville and Nashville would undoubt- edly go to Interests identified with the Atlantic Coast Company, which is the holding company of the Aflantic Coast llne. This disposition of the property will be made, so Morgan is reported to have sald, after consultation with the Gates-Hawley interests in Louisville and Nashville, though it was not to be in- ferred that the deal would be opposed by The price asked for control is 140. Morgan could not or would not give further details, except to say that the Loulsville and Nashville minor- ity interest would be fully protected. Secretary Shaw, whose visit to New | York was regarded as especially signifi- lcnnt, arrived at the sub-treasury late in | the afternoon. While in the finanelial dis- | trict he saw several bankers, including his predecessor, Lyman T. Gage, now president of the United States Trust Com- pany, Vice President Hepburn of the Chase Natlonal Bank and Vice President Vanderlip of the National City Bank. ! Becretary Shaw was in constant com- muniecation with his subordinates at dard is a stunning widow and Lillian Al- bertson is an excellent Mrs. Featherly. | In fact the two ladies do all the acting, while the gentlemen furnish the fun. Chutes. Ola Hayden, the girl with the phenom- | enal barytone voice; Fred Zobedie, the, wonderful equilibrist, and Jack and Jane | Bernard, German comedians, presenting | “The Collegian and the Lady,” all ap-| peared at the Chutes for the first time' yesterday and made hits at both per- formances. Court Edwards continued his daring and difficult performance on his unicycle, the Bach sisters varled their buck and wing dancing and Davis and De Hearde, colored comedians, reappeared in a new act. A new series of living pict- ures will be given by the amateurs Thurs- day night. Fischer’s. Fischer’s Theater is playing its last! week of “Hurly-Burly” and ‘Zaza,” which proved to be a great success. ‘““Whirl-I-Gig,” one of Weber & Fleld's best burlesques, and a travesty on “The Only Way" will be the next productions, and they promise to be a great success. | { Trunks and Valises.

PR o RS Special Dispatch to The Call. LA CENTER, Wash., Sept. 29.—Actu- |ated by a desire for revenge, and prob- ably suffering from temporary insanity, R. 8. Davis, a druggist, 86 years of age, last night set fire to the drug store of Mrs. White here. Then he returned to his own store, set fire to it and was him- | self consumed in the flames. As a re- sult of his mania, five buildings are now |in_ ashes. The fire from Mrs. White's building ig- nited the residence of J. W. Brunnell, | dock agent of the Lewis River Transpor- | tation Company, destroyed it and spread to a shoe store and a small photograph gallery, which stood between the two | drug stores. All were destroyed. The supposition is that, after having de- sticyed the property of his opponent in business, Davis either swallowed the con- tents of a vial of poison or laid down |and permitted himself to be cremated | alive. Davis hated Mrs. White, who kept the opposition drug store about fifty yards | from his own. He imagined that she was unfair in trade and that her efforts were directed toward injury of his business. | Davis had owned and operated a drug | store at intervals since 1873. | s | CRUISER MONTGOMERY GOES TO PORT DE PAIX Navy Department Takes Steps to Pro- tect American Interests at That Port.
