All kinds of | | 800d people were there, and the audience | { was ‘of almost all natiéns under the sun. | | A more heartfelt and comdial benefit wes | never given in San Francisco to actor or singer. When Mr. Steindorff made his appear- ance to lead the orchestra in the over- ture to ‘‘Martha,” there was a veritable storm of hand-clapping and ‘‘bravos!"

The bill was a splendid one—a veritable musical treat, Act two of “Martha’ open- ed the performance with Tina de Spada, Collamarini, Dado and Russo in the cast. | The fadeless “Last Rosé of Summer, sung tenderly by De Spada, was not al- lowed to melt away without a thunderous encore. The third act of “I' Pagliacei” followed, with Russo as Canio, De Padova as Tonio, De Spada as Nedda .and D'Al- bore as Silvio. Russo threw himself into the play with his whole soul and never in his life acted better. Dado and the well-trained chorus in the Jordan scene from Verdi's “Nabucco” came in as a delightful musical sandwich before the third act of “Andre Chenier,” the scene of which is laid In" the court- room of the revolutionary tribunal in Paris.. This brought forth Agostini, De Padova, Montanari, Collamarini, Dado, Wilson, Jacques and the full chorus. There must have been a beneficent mag- netism in the air, for the company never sang better within the memory of first timers. California. “The Irish Pawnbrokers’ proved enough of a drawing card to fill the California | to the doors last night. Pretty much everything on the programmeé was en- cored again and again. The production is called a comedy, but consists of little else than specialties in the way of sing- ing, dancing and humorous dialogue. William Kenny\Mack and Joe J. Sulli- van made most of the fun. The latter has a face which is a continuous joke all by itself. “There is a bevy of good looking girls, who present something new in the way of songs and dencing. They g0 through a military drill also in an ex- ceptionally clever manner. Mayme Tay- lor has a splendid voice, which she uses | to great advantage. Last night's audi- | ence did not want to let her stop singing at all. There is absolutely no plot nor reason in the production, but it appears to be greatly appreciated by the major- | ity of those who go to see it. From pres- | ent indications it should have the most successful run of many months at the California. Grand Opera-House. rather difficult to explain the vogue It is of Sast Lynne,” with its impossible characters, impossible situations: but that it has not worn itself away was amply evidenced last night by the good house that greeted the play at the Grand Opera-house. This is the last week of Miss Marie Wainwright's engagement, and that the clever actress chooses to present the play is warrant for a certain vogue. The double part of Lady Isabel and Madame Vine offers a certain at- tractive chance of contrast to Miss Wain- wright, and she makes the most of its opportunities. The weepy thrill is still there, and the house is quite ready with its handkerchief at the proper moment. A pleasing discovery was of the actress’ very pretty singing voice, her rendering of “When Other Lips” giving much pleasure, and arousing a hearty encore. CHief in Miss Wainwright's support is Herschel Mayall as Archibald Carlyle. The actor is as usual gentlemanly, tact- ful and effective, and makes quite prob- able the not very realistic figure. Bar- bara Hare was attractively presented by Miss Blanche Stoddard, whose pretty face and figure lend themselves very grace- fully to the picture. Miss Albertson, who got a band all to herself on her first appearance, was clever as Joyce. The famous Miss Corney was done in a New England, comic valentiny way by Anna MacGregor, and little Willile was played by little Gladys WeHer. The rest of the cast, Fred J. Butler, Hardee Kirk- land and Glenn Byers, did their best for the piece. The mountings are on the Grand Opera-house’s usual careful plan, and the plece will doubtless draw . its perennial good houses. Republic.

Robert Ritchie, Lorig a Leader in the Activities of the Episcopal Faith, Passes Away at His Home in Oak- land, Succumbing to an Attack of Pleuro-Pneumonia + AKLAND, Nov. 18.—The Rev. Robert Ritchie, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church and a leader in the activities of the, Episcopal faith, passed away at his home, 692 Mariposa avenue, at ten minutes after midnight last night. Dr. Ritchie was stricken fifteen days ago and the reports ‘from the bedside encouraged his friends with- the hope that he would survive, but his condition altered for the worse last night and ren- dered recovery impossible. Unconscious- ness then came suddeniy upon him, fol- lowed by a gradual sinking. The physi- clans in attendance left the patient's bed- side early last evening, saying that dis- solution must come soon. The Rev. Mr. Ritchie's ailment was pleuro-pneumonia, which was further complicated by cerebral meningitis mani- festing itself during the latter period of his illness. Sickness overtook him short- ly after his return on October 26 from his annual hunting trip in Oregon, where he caught cold in a rainstorm. Being of a naturally robust constitu- tion, the clergyman thought nothing of his cold, but it was aggravated by fur- ther exposure and on November 1 he was forced to seek his bed. The symptoms of pneumonia developed and he underwent treatnent, but his health continued to de- Cl!x"‘rfé Rev. Robert Ritchie was born on February 14, 1851, in Chicago.

Having determined to enter the minis- try, the young man became a student in the General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church in New York City. He studied there three years, graduating with the class of 1878. His first charge was in Baraboo, Wis., where, in 1878, he married Miss Hannah Thomas. After a year's pastorate in Baraboo he accepted a call to Christ Episcopal Church, in Quin- cy, 11, concluding a two years' pastorate by accepting a call to St. Paul's Episco- pal Church in Peoria, Ill., where he filled the pulpit for nine years. In 1859 the Rev. Mr. Ritchie.came to California, having been called to St. Mark’s Episcopal Churen at Red Bluff. He occupied that pulpit for two .years, until offered the rectorship of St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Oakland, which he has filled since his acceptance in 1891. The family consists of the clergyman's wife, Mrs. Hannah Thomas Ritchie, and five children—Robert Wells, Thomas New- comb, Margaret, Helene and Mary Lyle Ritchie. There are two sisters, one of whom, Sarah Ritchie, is mother superior in a convent in Madrid, and the other, long after Robert's birth they settled in Mrs. Anna’ Newcombe, is a resident of Beloit, Wisconsin.

With but few exceptions the people are all new here, although most of them have well established reputations throughout the East. Helen MacGregor, the new leading woman, was leading woman with Sothern last season. Orpheum, A juggler, famed from one end of the world to the other, appears at the Or- pheum and handles with marvelous dex- terity a large rubber ball. He is greeted with cheers because he allows the big ball to alight on his nose and bounce therefrom to the floor and from the floor back to his nose. He is a wonder in the eyes of the spectators, so try to imagine that a seal can do the same thing and you will have a faint idea of the sort of show that is being presented at (he Orpheum this week. There are seals there this week that do almost everything that the best of jugglers can do and they do it without a ‘“‘second try.” There is lit- tle left in the way of wonders unper- formed. Johnny Ray and his wife, the Dillon Brothers, Charles Kenna, Mme.. Herrmann, widow of Herrmann the great, and the other numbers are all above the excellent mark. Alcazar. The farce comedy, ““A Stranger in a Strange Land,” commenced its second week at the Alcazar Theater last night to a crowded house. It is about the funniest play that has ever been present- ed at this popular resort and the audi- ence is kept in almost continuous laughter from the rise to the fall of the curtain. It goes with a snap all through and all the members of the company seem to vie with each other in keeping the fun go- ing. George Osbourne, in his original character of the Indian chief, cannot be surpassed, his walk, even, being a study in f{tself. Charles J. Stine has made a hit as the uncle who is the cause of all the complications. Charles A. Millward and Miss Suzanne Santje are egcellent as Jack Thorndyke and Alice Welling- ton, the American girl, and Willilam Lamp and Albert Morrison as the imitation In- dians do clever work. The other char- acters are admirably sustained by Miss Juliet Crosby, Miss Marle Howe, Miss Oza Waldrop, Clifford | Dempsey and Frank Bacon. iy Central. “Coon Hollow,” a drama dealing witin the life of the Tennessee mountaineers, was produced last night at the Central to a crowded house ahd was accorded an erthusiastic reception. The play was beautifully mounted, and among the chief incidents was a cotton press in full op- ‘eration, in which a man is accidentally crushed to death, a negro cakewalk, buck and wing dancing and a number of plan- tation songs and dances. The scene rep- resenting Coon Hollow by moonlight was particularly good, the chief effect being a real waterfall. Eugenie Thals Lawton scored a great hit as Georgia, and Agnes Ranken was picturesque, handsome and clever as the mountain girl, Clyde Har- tod. Landers Stevens maintained his great popularity by the artistic manner in which he played the rugged moun- taineer, Lem Stockwell. Margaret Mar- shall, Thomas Keirns, George Nicholls and the remainder of the company did viell in their respective roles. Friday night there will be a cakewalk open to all colored competitors, and the winning couple will each be presented with a valuable gold watch. Next week ‘‘Across the Pacific,’ a drama founded on the war in the Philip- pine-islands, will be elaborately produced. Wilczek and Schluter. Franz Wilezek, the Bohemian violin vir- tuoso, and Max Schluter, the Danish vio- lin virtuoso, will give their first concert to-night at the Alhambra Theater, when the following delightful programme will be rendered: Sonata, D minor, Op. 21, for violin and piano (Gade), adaglo, allegro di molto, lar- gLetto, allegro moderato, Otto Bendix and Max Schluter; violin, (a) Romanze (Max Bruch), (b) Zapateado (Sarasate), Franz Wilczek: vio lin duets, (a) Midnight, (b) Serenade (Godard), Max Schiuter and Franz Wilczek; songs, (a) “Der Tod und das Madchen (Schubert), (b) ‘‘Standchen” (Brahms), (c) ‘“‘Memnon,’” (d) ‘0O Swallow” (Foote), Miss Cornelia M.

Re- served seats for all parts of the house are on sale at Sherman, Clay & Co.’s music store. Chutes. Ed R. Lang, styled ‘“the poetical tramp,” kept 4 large audience thoroughly amused for twenty minutes at the Chutes last night. He is a clever monologist and is thoroughly up to date. Ethel Gordon, a dainty little toe and Spanish dancer, made her San Francisco debut, scoring a hit; Fay and Morton, comedy jugglers, proved amusing; Rome and Ferguson gave an entertaining sketch full of spe- cialties, and the Marco brothers did some wonderful feats of contortion. The ani- matoscope showed new moving pictures, and the babies in the incubators attract- ed the usual amount of attention. Sev- eral novelties are promised for Thursday, amateur night. JOSEPH MAGNER WELCOMED BY FELLOW HAY DEALERS Popular Business Mdn Tendered a Reception on His Return From { Europe. Joseph Magner of the firm of Scott & Magner was tendered a reception yester- day morning at the offices of the firm which was a pleasant surprise to him, as well as furnishing considerable enjoyment to those who were present.

When a slight cold fastens on you in early winter you are apt to regard it merely as an annoyance—not a thing worth seriotis consideration You usually feel like taking something syrupy, with per haps a touch of spirits in it. to warm you up and stop the cough. PBut there is a better way. The cough, the red eyes and uncomfortable head are ; not the cold. They are only ! the symptoms. They are like Judge Frank J. Murasky spoke’first of the ideals in justice, which he found ever present in the insistent yearning of hu- ! man hearts for the right. | Professor Elmer C. Brown of the Uni- versity of California then delivered a scholarly address on the ideals of edfica- n. He incorporated much of the prac- | | tical, too, in his recommendation that the present grammar school system should be made less antiquated and the need of | | encouraging good teachers. It takes ex- | {cellence to .discover excellence, he said, and if the good qualities of a pupil are to* be uncovered they must first be possessed by the teacher. Measures should there- fore be adopted, he added, to make the field attractive to such teachers. Better { salaries should be pald and greater rec- ognition, both public and social, should be accorded them. only can the true ideals of education be attained. GIVES THEOLOGY A RAP. The Rev. George Stone followed with a powerful sermon on the ideals of re- liglon, which created something of a sen- sation. Mr. Stone Is a staid, plain-fea- tured man, who looks more like a broker than a clergyman, while his delivery has all the force and conviction of a eampaign orator. He was once a successful bank- er, but is now an ordained minister and Unitarian Association. Mr. Stone start- ed in by destroying many of the accepted ideals of religion, which he condemned as the hybrid offspring of form, super- stition and man-made dogmas. “True religion,” he said, ‘“‘should be a simple creed of philanthropy and clean morals guided solely by the Spirit and our conscious relation to God. Like musie end art, it should have no boundaries. Whatever limits the freedom of the mind and the imagination makes impossible the ideal religion. Theology and creeds and all the forms and ceremonies of denom- inational churches are founded upon the superstitions of ignorant men long before enlightgned science had given the world its new astronomy, its chemistry, its electricity and its knowledge that the earth is round and not the flat hub of the universe. Yet these men claimed di- vine inspiration. and forbid all investiga- tion irto the truth of their creedssas a vrofanation. THE IDEAL RELIGION. “Religlon is a life, not a doctrine, and should be lifted above dogma. It Is the scul of love and should not be darkened ond made hideoys by fear and supersti- tion. Sclence has been declared the en- In science newly discovered facts are al- lowed to govern, while in theology all facts are ignored. We should seek to imi- tate Jesus, not to adore him. He who leves his fellow man and truly serves him belongs to the universal church and the ideal religion. Judaism was perhaps the greatest of all the old religions, for it wae a religion of the Spirit: Jesus was its last and greatest'prophet and rescued it_from the encroaching peril of form.” Franklin K. Lane closed the proceedings with a humorous and informal talk about the ideal in polities. e — WESTERN UNION WINS AN IMPORTANT LAWSUIT Telegraph Company "Need Not Pay Damages for Incorrect Trans- mission of Message. cision yesterday upholding the Superfor Court of Los Angeles in denying judg- ment for damages against the Western Union Telegraph Company for losses sus- a message. ruary, 1887, and has been in the courts ever since that time.

The surest way to get rid of them and prevent their sprouting again is to pull up the root. You sometimes say, “This cold is all over me.” Every | cold you have is, to a certain degree, all over you. It is evidence of a slight general weakness.

At the best its action is merely local and gives only tempo- rary relief. Scott’s Emulsion does this and more. _ A small quantity of the emulsion taken regularly for a few days will supply the lack of proper nourishment | in" ordinary food. It isrich in the substances of which healthy blood is composed, | and makes itself quickly felt in the throat and bronchial | tubes.
