The board of directors of the Slavonian- Austrian Catholic Church of this city an- nounce that they have purchased a lot of 55x120 feet on Fell street, near Fillmore, where the new church will be erected. The members of the church have been planning the new structure for a long time and have worked faithfully tb raise | the necessary funds for its erection. | Work will be commenced on the new | house of worship very shortly. Plans have | been drawn up by an architect and have | been submitted to the board of directors [for their approval. The plans have been passed upon by the board and work will | be commenced on the church as soon as the necessary funds have been raised. The board of directors has decided to give an entertalnment on April 19 at Na- tive Sons’ Hall for the purpose of raising funds for the new church. Some of the cleverest amateur and professional talent in the city hes volunteered its services for the occasion and the affair will probabiy be a big financial success.

THEATERS OFFER PLEASING BILLS “Devil's Auction” Is Well Received at the California. | Colored Vocalists Delight | | Audience at the Orpheum. There is much to please both old and young In the spectacular production *“The | Devil's Auction” at the California this | week. It is the twenty-first edition of the | plece, and judging from the applause and laughter with which it was greeted lastl | night “‘age cannot wither nor custom | stale its infinite variety.” The plece is | | rich in mechgnical and electrical effects ! | and serves as a vehicle for a number of | clever specialty artists to exhibit thelr | varied talents. Prominent among these is | Louis Martinetti of the famous acrobatic | and dancing family, whose antics are de- J. L. Guflmette and Henri Rarle are well cast as Mongolians, and Miss Alice Stoddard and Jeanne Ri- vare are pleasing immortals.

She is suffering with a slight hoarseness, but it will not interfere with ker singing to-morrow night. Anna Held and her bevy of beauties also arrived and registered at the same hotel. = i The programme for this week at the| Orpheum is replete with many interesting | specialties. A number of the most popu- lar entertainers of last week have been | held over, and these with the new num- | | bers comprise an exceptionally good bill. | ond Johnson, two real colored entertainers or the good old | cotton plantation type, sing and play | ragtime melody in a manner that cer- | tainly delighted their audience last night. | The Martinetti troupe of acrobats, three | men and graceful little lady, do some | interesting and difficult gymnastic stunts. | llivan, Margaret Atherton and | t a very laughable apta Huntington."” The *“Cay is a very bashful young man, who is confronted with the very per- | plexing proposition of proposing to a | g lady. His display of bashfulness, his awkwardness and his stammering while in the presence of the object fo his affection is very amusing. The Dumonds, the clever musiclans, proved even more popular last night than they did the first week of their engagement. They were | forced to respond 2gain and again to re-| peated app! The Maxwell Company, with its clever singers, the Nelsons, with their very ludicrous contortions and acro- | | batic feats, Hill and Silvainy, with their | exciting stunts on the wheel, and Lottie Giison continue tb retain the popularity vhich they won last week. The blograph | views are as interesting as usual. BT e It is difficult to determine whether Ralph Stuart or “Prince Otto” scored the r hit last night at the Theater Re- “Prince Otto” is from the novel same name by the late Robert Stevenson and Otis Skinner is re-, sponsible for its adaptation to dramatic use. Skinner, of course, played the Prince; indeed, Skinner chose “Prince Ot- to” because he saw in the character the bilities for good stage business, ex- g incidents and a personage that would fit Otis Skinner and the same time | exactly satisfy a public's craving for the nal-costume play.

Thursday aft- | ernoon she will give a special matinee, when she will produce Ibsen’s “Lady In- | gre of Ostrat.” o n | At the Tivoll the famous Gflbert ana Sullivan opera ‘“‘Patience,” a very laugh- able satire on the esthetic craze, will be presented to-night. The new opera | abounds with sparkling dlalogue and | lively music. The scenery is beautiful | and the costuming is very elaborate. B g ing “The Christlan” will give way this even- | ing at the Alcazar to “‘Chispa,” an enter- taining play of the melodramatic charac- | ter. This play, the interesting plot of which is laid in a mining camp, has been produced before at the Alcazar and never falled to please. Alice Treat Hunt will have the part of Chispa and Ernest Hast- ings will appear as Stevens, while George Osbourne will sustain the character of the Indian. Y s * Melodrama will again be the attraction at the Central to-night, when “Through the Breakers” will be produced. One of the features of the play will be the mag- nificent scenery. The play {tself contains many thrilling scenes. . . A number of interesting specialties have | been secured for the Chutes this week. | Among the features of the programme | are Pompejl and Faye, Marshall and Er- vin, May Kennedy, Derenda and Breen, Stellita and Henrico, Garbardon, the W sons and the new moving plctures, There are now over 50 street rallway corporations in Pennsylvania, where eighty years ago there were only about 60. e e Erluu a lot of fool lappen. ‘Worry often com; things that never Irene Latour exhib- |, | first inspiration in New York, where such | known people | and Mr. and Mrs. { on the point of telling you his name, but deliberately turned on the MINIATURES ARE POPULAR AMONG THE SWELLEST SET Miss Rose Hooper, Fresh From Europe, Sets a Fashion Pleasing Centuries Ago for Pictures Painted and Set in Jewels —— —— —— l | SENTHD PHoTe P N, CLEVER MINIATURE PAINTER OF THIS CITY WHO HAS DONE A NUMBER OF PORTRAITS OF WELL-KNOWN SOCIETY WOMEN, WHICH HAVE WON MUCH PRAISE. bargain.

International Union of Steam Engineers, No. 64, of San Francisco and the Interna- tional Unfon of Holsting Engineers, No. 59, are up in arms over the adoption of | Senate bill No. 62 and a strenuous effort will be made to defeat the proposed leg- islation. The bill is scheduled to come up to-day In the Senate. As originally in- troduced It was an act to regulate the practice of steam engineering, the regis- teering and licensing of persons to carry on such practice and to insure the better education and promote competency and skill among steam engineers in the State. The chief objection to the bill as it stands at present seems to be the fact that in the hands of the committee to whom it has been referred it has been so cut up and amended that it fails to fulfill the mission for which it was originally intended and the hoisting engineers do not come under its provisions. J. P. Magee, chairman of the commit- ee representing the two unions, when een last evening, said: to the passage of the bill is the fact that it cuts out the hoisting engineers alto- gether and deprives them of what they are enptitled to. It will be contrary to the city ordinance relative to licensing en- gineers, and the present municipal ordi- nance has more good features than the bill'at Sacramento. introduced was satisfactory to the unions with but one exception. Since its intro- duction it has been cut all to piedes and 8o amended as to mean absolutely noth- ing to the engineers in this city. It has been stated through the press that the unions which we represent are In favor of the bill, but we wish to state that there is absolutely no truth in the statement and it is our intention to work against its passage.’ | | { Artists Please Note that we have purchased the entire artist material stock of the Bass-Hueter Paint KAST’ SHOE \Removal Sale Make haste or you will lose this unusual opportunity to get shoes.
