PR A Orpheum and Republic Give Excellent New Bills to Patrons. There is a truly rural drama at the Cal- | ifornla this week that looks very much lke a popular success, to wit, Denman Thompson and George W. Ryers’ “Our | New Minister.” Last night's audience— | that wae largely among those standing— | so ordalned it, and the end of the week | wili probably see the orchestra under the | stage. “Our New Minister” is a play of | the Arcadian, untheological order, con-| cerning itself with the advent of an up- | to-date young minister in an “auld licht” community. The new minister—like Mis. | Campbell last week—belleves in the “joys of living,” and his debut in Hardscrabble | is consequently comparable to that of the cccentric firecracker known as “the devil among the tailors.” There is a simple, not to say meager, plot, woven about the min- ster's coming, but there is a deal of| homely philosophy, humor, truth and a | flavor of pathos that drew blood—tears, I | should say. ‘“There’s nothing dumber than death” and “When a man talks to mself he's vapping to a fool” are not | bad, and “When the fox preaches take care of the lambs” might have been made | These are culled at random | from a stack of the same to be found In ew Minister,” and are by no means »est. But the chief strength of the lies in its character drawing. On | this its claims will principaily rest and with reasonable confidence. The minister himself is attractively pic- | tured, as a manly, sensible, sincerely Christian person, with only a little Brum- | magim theology to weaken the portrait. There is a village Dogberry that much | might be made of, and a taking village | nfidel that is excellently handled, with a | postmaster who could not be bettered. | There are also an imported New York | routh with an enviable repertoire of siang, a pharasaic deacon, and a “Sister | Tattleby,” who is acidly delightful. A re- formed convict 18 also importantly among | the dramatis personae, and a village vil- | 1 With these the play goes along very | pieasantly, though suffering from a too | strong first act and from a considerably | tmprobable third. There are two or three of the old Den- its | vlay man Thompson peopie in the cast of “Our | . | rem f Chinatown | was served to her it was so | 1ug the conversation in reply to an in- | faflure of the new drink that we | beerved that my friend looked rather | most delicicus cup of coffee, | for the package in or- | | week at the Tivoll.

Henry R. Scott's old postmaster is another por-| trait absolutely satisfying and convincing. These, with John P. Brawn's * —the raciest of Billy Baxter New York, | are the best of the good things done in the play, with a rattling character sketch by Clara Rainford as Dorcas Tattleby as a good second. John Terriss is manly and pleasing as the new minister and Louis Fierce, as the snarling Pharisee, and Charles SBtedman’s convict are also to be wbered. The rest fill in—the women weakly, but It is an unusuaily adequate | cast and a play that leaves a laugh on the lips and a clean, wholesome satisfaction. | BLANCHE PARTINGTON. | . . ‘ The Orpheum presents some excellent | attractions this week. Four new Easter s are given and all have caught on. The eccentric juggling of W. C. Fields is the best of its kind seen {n this theater In many years. Fields s an artist in his work and deserves all the applause he receives. Bruno and Russell do an in- | teresting song and dance act. Lizzie Wil- son is & German comedienne and vocal- ist of rare excellence. Her dialect storles | are very good and create a gPeat deal of merriment. Frank Aumann doé® some athletic stunts with the punching bag. His turn is a novel one and scores heav- ly. Probably the best act on the pro- ! gramme is that presented by the Mason- Keeler company. It is entitled, “Hooked by Crook,” and ls from the short story written by Gillett Burgess, the local au- thor. It is extremely funny and holds the interest of the audience from the time the curtain rises until it descends. The | “burglar” is a clever plano player and he glves some Imitations while robbing a | fat that would make Paderewski and | other artists look to their laurels. Mc- Cue and Cahill sing a number of new songs. They have excellent voices, which harmonize sweetly. La Fleur deserves to | be called “great,” as he is the most sen- | sational acrobat seen at the Orpheum in vears. He does some marvelous hand balancing and jumping. The Colby fam- iy give a novel musical entertainment The singing of little Byrle, a child not more than 6 years of age, is remarkable. | The tot has a voice that is as clear as a | bell. Master Frank gives some funny | imitations of Sousa and Creatore and the parents sing and play on musical instru- ments. The biograph closes a splendid Easter show. b, The Republic put on an entire change ot bill yesterday. which, given with the en- tire etrength of its splendid minstrel com- pany and merry burlesquers, went with a dash that brought storms of applause from the big audience at both the | matinee and the night performance. Richard Jose and the other sweet sing- | ers in the troupe, together with the com- | edians, appeared in the pretty first part, “On the Deck of the Battleship Oregon,” and the encores were many. | The new burlesque, “The Siege of Goat | 1siand,” was overfiowing with fun and | catchy music and took .well with the crowas. This fine bill goes for the rest of the week. Mrs. Patrick Campbell presents to-night, to-morrow evening and at the Wednes- day matinee at the Columbla, ‘“The Sec- ond Mrs. Tanqueray”; ‘“Magda”on Wed- nesday and Saturday nights and at the Thursday matinee; “Aunt Jeannie” on Thursday evening and Saturday after- | moon, and “The Joy of Living” on Friday ! night.

Makes Way With the Infant Porker by Trick Over Telephone. Fllled with indignation and appetits, half a dozen firemen growled and gri- maned around the house of Engine 2, on | Bush street, yesterday. As hunger | gnawed away at their vitals they cursed | thetr luck and filled the arr with vituper- | ative references to the mysterious joker who was responsible for their.discomfort. | No cheer came to the men of No. 2 on | Easter Sunday. A mean trick had de- | prived them of a contemplated feast and | they longed to avenge themselves on the | man who had dared to perpetrate it. Several days ago Edward Lennan, one | of the members of the engine crew, re-| ceived a telegram from a brother fireman in Stockton, announcing that a relative ot Lennan had been found in the Slough | City and that means had been furnished him to reach San Franclsco. Somewhat puzzied by the message Lennan tele- | phoned to several members of his family, | who, however, could throw no light on the identity of the expected arrival, but| having learned that he really had a num- | ber of relatives in the Western country | the fireman prepared to welcome the one | from Stockton. RELATIVE ARRIVES. Friday morning there was delivered at | the engine house, addressed to Lennan, a which pore the inseription on a eard *ied | around hiz neck: with regards from the boys in Stockton. Of course the laugh was on Lennan, but the fun soon took a sertous turn wher | the new owner of the infant porker sug- gested to his assoclates that the chuboy squealer would furnish a tasteful dish for ster day. Within five minutes plans (or a feast at Lennan’s house had been fu arranged, Mrs. Lennan nad been consu ed and consented, and a few minutes later | saw thc young pig bundied into an ex- v town for slaughter. That night Lennan arranged with a Third-street restaurant keeper to cook the pig in time for delivery at his home on Sunday, and then, with his enthusiastic wife, went the vegetadle route in search for trimmings for the pis | on Easter day. aturday the invitations to the midday ner were issued and included, besidc ). 2 house, a few of Mrs. Lennan’s friends. Lieutenant Dougherty of No. 2, Lennan's most intimate friend, was of course among those invited and for twenty-four hours preceding the dir: ner the corpulent firefighter was pleas antly anticipating the coming repast by | moderate fasting and carefully calculat- | ing the amount of roast pig he would be | | a the firemen at able to get away with. DOUGHERTY ON HAND. | Yesterday Dougherty was the first to | feport at Lennan's house, looking some- what cadaverous, but nevertheless feeling quite strong and hopeful. ‘The other guests were also early on the sceme and were warmly welcomed by host and hostess. The hour for the dinner bell | t> ring was fast approaching when Mrs. Lennan quietly approached her husband and informed him that she was ready to serve her own choice dishes, but that | the restaurant man had yet to deliver the roasted pig upon which the guests were counting to gratify their epicurean tastes. Lennan said he would go after it, and he did. Five minutes later he rushed madly into the parlor of his house, ut- tered some Incoherent words and fell in a faint at the fest of his startled guests. A turmoil followed and in the midst of it the coming feast was forgotten. When he finally revived the fireman explained ! his strange actions with the that statement gone to the restaurant for but had been informed by the | that a person had called for it half an hour before and that it was gone. 1t is needless to state there was but a | very meager meal at the Lennan house yesterday. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon there was a conference of Lennan's guests at the Bush-street engine-house. | It was followed by an investigation, | which was by no means as satisfactory | as the disappointed Dougherty hoped, but it developed this fact—that late Saturday evening the Third-street restaurant man's bell rang and a volce at the he had i telephone other end sald: “This is Lennan, the fireman. I will send aftcr the pig to- morrow morning and will pay you Mon- day when I go by your place.” STRANGER APPEARS. Sunday morning a man called at the restaurant and sald he had been sent by Lennan. He got the plg and that is as far as Lennan has been able to trace it. The stranger Is described as a tall man with a blond mustache, but there are thousands answering that description in the city and Lennan and Dougherty are fearful that the guilty one may not be found, at least until it 1s too late to re- cover the pig. And so the matter stands. Lennan is madder than the maddest man in town, Mrs. Lennan is in a similar mood and as for Dougherty, he is viclous enough to lick a hundred tall men with blond mustaches if they will only admit their implication in the theft of the Len- nan pig. And so the matter stands. Suspicion points to several friends of Lennan, who were advised of his receipt of the pig, but failed to get invitations to the feast, but they are so indirect that Lennan and his fighting companion, Dougherty, dare not throw the gauntlet at their feet.

ROCKEFELLER PARTY IS HOMEWARD BOUND | Millionaire and Family Attend Morn- | ing Easter Services Before Tak- ing Their Departuye. John D.

In the forenoon they attended the Easter serv- | ices at the First Baptist Church, they entered without attracting which the | slightest notice, and not until the wealthy layman had left the edifice dld the fact that he had been in attendance become generally known among the disappointed congregation. Arrangements had been made by Dr. Biggar, the Rockefeller physician, for a drive through the park in the afternoon, but about 3 o’clock the order for carriages was countermanded and made for the departure for the East. It was stated yesterday by one of the party of the millionaire that the latter had no particular desire of remalining in San Francisco over night, but a stop was made necessary in order to permit the | rallroad company to transfer his engine | and cars across the bay and have them cleaned and reprovisioned for the return trip. ————— TRAIN IZ DERAILED BY AN OPEN SWITCH ‘Webster-Street Local Runs Off the Track, but No One Is Injured.

Municipal Ownership Hangs Over the Head of Cor- poration. Oakland Office San Francisco Cal', 1118 Broadway, April 12 The reorganization of the Contra Costa \Water Company is the topic that is mos: The annual meeting will be held on Tues- day next at the offices of the company in the Crocker bullding in San Francisco, and upon that meeting wil depend much of the future history of Oakland. This annual meeting always has much interest for the city, but this year it has a vastly added interest because it comes so closely upon an election at which the people de- clared for a municipal water plant in opposition to that of the concern that has furnished water to the people and campaign material to the politiclans of Oakland for so many years. If matters are allowed to drift along in the way in which they have been go- ing for the last few years, which culmi- nated in the election of a municipal ad- ministration pledged to carry ownership ot waterworks, it means the annihilation of the Contra Costa Water Company. It | means that the gigantic competition and stock deals by which William J. Dingee | finally absorbed the old Contra Costa ‘Water Company and then tried to finance | a scheme with a profit of several miilions | to himself, will result in not only the loss of the profits, but the wiping away of the entire company, for should munici- pal ownership be adopted by the city of Oakland the plant of the Contra Costa | Water Company, worth millions as it is, would be absolutely valueless. This fact has been recognized by the stockholders of the company, and for some time there has been a series of con- sultations between various owners to consider what should be done. Most of the stock of the company is now held in San Francisco, the only large blocks held |in Oakland being something less than 2000 shares held by the widow and daugh- er of the late Anthony Chabot, the fou: | | | { der of the company, and a block held by Willlain . the Henshaw-Tubbs Interests. J. Dingee, Alvinza Hayward and A. Rose, the latter the son-in-law of Ha: ward and the brother-in-law of Dingee, hold the largest single amount of stock. The management of the tompany is | harmonious, and it is particularly har- monious upon the point that something | has got to be done to recover its stand- | ing in Oakland. | i | | William G. Henshaw has been asked to take the presidency, and Dingee, Hay- ward and Rose are very anxious to have him assume that position. Mr. Henshaw has said that he could not give it the time, but he will be elected a director at the coming meeting, and probably presi- dent, as the indications are that the de- sires of the other stockholders will over- ccme his objections. The election of Willlam D. English as the local manager with Instructions to make the company popular seems us- sured. This will be no easy work for any one, for public feellng has been aroused to a great pitch by the Judge Hart declsion, the actions of the last City Council and the suits brought by the water company against the city, which are still upon appeal. This reorganization is the first move that will be made to overcome the | threatened municipal ownership, and the | people of Oakland are watching for the developments with great Interest. SLASHED ON THE NECK WITH KNIFE OR RAZOR Result of a Fight Between Joseph i Rigovich and Little Joe, i an Italian. | Joseph Rigovich and an Italian known | as “Little Joe” quarreled on Broadway, near Ohlo street, early yesterday morning | and came to blows.

Climbs Out of a Room and Makes Her Way Across to Oakland. Oakland Office San Francleco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 12. ‘While suffering from a temporary fit of mental aberration, caused by illness, Miss Mary Hook, 32 years old, residing at Gon- | zales, Monterey County, jumped out of & | window and escaped from a private sani- | tarium conducted by Mrs. Dr. Burns ag | Eddy and Franklin streets, San Fran- | cisco. To make good her flight, the patient was compelled to crawl through a network of bars that guarded the window of her room and to make her way carefully into the street after eluding the nurses and other attendants In the place. All this the runaway patient accom- plished without being apprehended. After departing from the hospital Miss Burns came to Oakland and about midnight nroused Mrs. F. E. Hess at 1121 Thirteenth avenue, with whom the fugitive sick wom- an had some acquaintance. Mrs. Hess was in sore straits, as her husband was very {ll, and she sent for the police, who refused to take Miss Burns into custody as an Insane person. At last Steward Borchert agreed to give the woman care at the Recelving Hosplital detention de- partment until to-day. Charles Hook, a brother of Miss Hook, residing at 560 Howard street, San Fran- cisco, took charge of his sister this after- noon and escorted her across the bay.

April 12.—John Agea, one of the oldest and most distinguished en- gineers in Mexico, Is dead, ALL CANDIDATES CLAIM VIGTORY Leaders of Both Sides Say Town Belongs to Them. Fights for No-Salary Jobs Just as Hard as for Pay Places. Berkeley Office San Francisco Call, 2M8 Center Street, April 12. The municipal election occurs to-mor= row and a talk with the leaders on either side leaves the Impression that both par- ties are going to sweep the town. The bitterest 'fight is between Kerns | and Pape for Marshal; but there are one or two other contests. There's the Treas- urer’s fight, for instance. Philo Mills, the Non-Partisan wants to beat C. R. Lord, the Republican and Incumbent, and he is putting up a stiff fight to do it. Then there's the Assessor's fight with L W. Wells, the Non-Partisan and incumbent, doing all he can to get more votes than C. C. Emslie. the Non-Partisan. Emslie’s followers are saying that Wells' assess- | ments are all wrong and so their at it. The average voter can't see why any one wants to struggle for an unsalaried place, but here are eleven men wrestling each other for places on the Board of Trustees and Bducation, and two of them are independent candidates. J. L. Robi- son, Christian Hoff, the Non-Partisans, are opposing Francis Ferrier and H. W Taylor, the Republicans for the Trustees’ places, and to complicate matters more, A. T. Green is an independent candidate for Trustee in the Fifth Ward against R. C. Staats, who has the Republican and Non-Partisan nominations. The Third Ward School Director fight | 1s between A. J. Mervy, Non-Partisan, and Dr. W. A. L. Knowles, Republican; | the Seventh Ward struggle is a three- | cornered affair between G. A. Gelirrine, Non-Partisan; W. J. Schmidt, Republican, and Charles P. Henry, Independent. All the other candidates have two nom- { inations and no opposition—Clarence 8. Merrill for Clerk, M. L. Hanscom for Auditor, Fred F. Connor for Trustee in the First Ward, W. K. Weir for School Director in the First Ward, and A. T. Sutherland for School Director in the Fifth Ward. | | MORMONS HOLD THEIR | SEMI-ANNUAL MEETING Elders of Latter Day Saints Give Re- ports of Year’s Labors for Church.
