The man to the right of one said, “All the man to the left said, “All ; the man in front said, “All right”; but the man behind said, “Kolb and Dill would come in handy here”’—at “In Central Park” last night at the Grand Opera House. He might have _mentioned Bernard while he was it, and Wiifred Blake, and a note or two from Maude Amber’s vocal machinery. Given these, “In Central Park” would count one of the best of its sort. There wasn't a seat left in the house to deny it. Grand opera according to Grau drew no larger crowds and the applause was busy and long. As in “In Washington,” the frocks and frills, the girls and gowns, drew a gen- erous quota of the noise. They deserved it.

Calvin Mateer Tells About Mission- ary Effort. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, June 28. The Rev. Calvin W. Mateer, D. D., founder of the first Christian school in China forty years ago, occupled the pul- pit this morning at the First Presbyter- ian Church, where he delivered a dis- course on the missionary work in China. Dr. Mateer departed from the time-hon- | orea practice of preaching direct to the heathen when he went out to the Orfent nearly half a century ago. He opened a scheol with six Chinese boys as students. In the native tongue text books on arith- metle, algebra, geometry, physics, chem- istry, astronomy and music were pre- pared, because there were none existing that presented the learning of the West- ern sciences. From this humble beginning when it became a college. The ploneer missionary teacher is on | furlough, and will return to China at the | expiration of his leave of absence. So high | does the eminent instructor stard with his denomination that he was accorded the compliment of a large honorary vote for moderator at the general assembly in Los Angeles. Special services were held this morning at the First Presbyterian Church Sunday achool, under the direction of Superin- tendent Earl 8. Bingham. Miss Winnie | Bruce led the music. A map talk was | given by Miss Emma P. Bingham. The | Rev. Calvin W. Mateer gave an address on the Sunday school work in China, and | W. H. Phelps gave a paper on the life of Paul. The Rev. Robert Mackenzie, former pas’ tor of the First Presbiyterlan Church of San Francisco and founder of the San Francisco Theological Seminary at San Anselmo, will occupy the pulpit July 5 and 12, and on July 19 and 26. The Rev. Henry C. Minton, former pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley and moderator of the general assembly for two years, will conduct the worship, —_———————— Singing for the Phonograph. “Once in a while,” sald the manager of a public phonograph concem, ‘“‘we can persuade a man or woman who has made a song popular to come to our warehouse and sing for a record, but in nine cases out of ten the game is not worth the candle. We can get better results for the same song from performers trained to phonographic work, but who could scarcely earn thelr salt in a music hall. Professional singers do not seem to get the low and even pitch that makes a song for the phonograph a success. Not one man in fifty who applies for work in this line is fit for it./ If a man insists we give him a trial, and then let him listen to his own volce. With the women we have more trouble still. That is why so many songs sung by women in the comic operas are trolled out by men over the phono- graph. One fellow who gets along well enough in the music halls listened to his own voice here last week. ‘Say,’ he exclaimed In disgust, ‘it I thought T screeched like that it would be the fisk cart for mine!

The march before men- tioned was an admirable background for her song, that is the hit of the perform- | ance. Of the rest, Raymond and Caverley’s efforts are more successful than in the former show; Harold Crane is graceful in | a sentimental, amusing in a comic song, | and Budd Ross and Anna Wilks both gain new admirers. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. R R The show at the Orpheum this week can only be compared with the one last week in point of excellence. One feature, however, is better and may be said to be one of the best things ever seen on a vaudeville programme. Jullan Rose, who is on the bills as “Our Hebrew Friend,” is certainly an entertainer. He had the | house from start to finish and his act produced one long laugh. All of his jokes were new and sparkling and his parodies were well worded. He might run six weeks and crowded houses would greet him every night. Barney Fagan and Henrietta Byron, | old-time favorites, appeared for the first time during the season. The clever couple presented a song and dance skit, “The | Rehearsal,” and received an abundance of applause. The feature of the | was a closing song, in which Miss Byron | changes costumes six times and at the | last change appears in a startling elec- | trical dress. The Wang Doodle Four, in a sketch, “The Darky Daneing Master,” | was among the best numbers. The act, | which was the last on the programme, was spoiled by some people in the au- the curtain went down, notwithstanding the fact that they had been requested by the management not to do so. Evans and | 8t. John did a sparkling little act, intro- | ducing bright and catchy songs and witty dialogue afld deserved the warm welcome they received. - Lydia Yeamans Titus, assisted by Frederick J. Titus, continues her mu- sical sketch, “The Wrong Organ.” Hayes and Healy are just as funny in 'The Ringmaster and the Circus Master,”” and the World's Trio repeat their act of nov- elties and surprises. Vernon, the ventril- oquist, and Drawee and his dog in a jug- gling turn, complete the fine bill. SRt Nance O'Neil and her company played “La Tosca" for the last time at the Cal- ifornia [Theater last night. Miss O'Neil ‘was at ‘her best in the emotional role and she received numerous, curtain calls from the audience.

Oakland Office San Franciscq, Cal, 1118 Broadway, June 28 Religious services at the Countv Jail have been suspended while Victor Walki- | | rez remains as a prisoner there. The ne- gro murderer’s emotions were so seriously stirred last Sunday by the exhortations of a colored prophetéss. that Jailers Clark | |and Murdock decided ‘o taboo the visits | | of the bands of religions workers that have had access to the jail corridors for years. Tre jailers denied admission to-day to the Band of Holiness, headed by George White, and also to the prison detachment | [from the Salvation Armv. It was the | | irst-named organization that was con- ducting services last Sunday morning | when Walkirez was overcome: by the | | dread prophesy of impending death, and i | went into convulsions. “We do not intend that these faithful | workers shall be permanenty barred | from their Sunday visits tc the prisoners,” said Jailer Murdock to-day in explana- tion of the order, “but we fee’ that | | Walkirez is in no condition to stand the | exhortations of these well-meaning call- | {ers. | | “After last Sunday's experience, when six men were more or less injured trying to control Walkirez in his paroxysms, we decided that for the present we should dispense with religious services in the Jaii.

UNIVERSITY EVENTS BERKELEY, June 2% —Alexander Gor- denker, '01, now a teacher at Maria, in the Philippines, has been honored with the appointment of principal of the Nor- mal School of the province of Negros Oriental. Gordenker has been stationed for some time at Marfa, an Island so small that most maps fail to show it. There are six wwns on the island, of about 5000 people each. In every town is an American teacher, the sole represen- tative of the Caucasian race li the whole island. st o The people of Maria are extremely primitive, but entirely unrevolutionary and tractable. Grodenker's school has a daily attendance of §00 students, who are accommodated in two ramshackle build- ings. When he drrived in Maria there were no benches and -the children sat on the floor. He made the blackboards him- self and has provided benches and desks. Recently a beginning was made with siates, readers asd paper. Grodenker's teaching staff consists of six assistants. Four of these are boys and girls whom he picked out of the class. Each receives a salary of five pesos or $2 In gold monthly. Nene of the chil- dren speak Spanish.

A stranger wandering over the islands is frequently surprised to hear from a hill- top the sound of loud whistling, which is quickly repeated on the next hill, and so is carried from summit to summit, until it dies away in the distance. ever until he began to teach them. In spite of these difficulties there are oW 600 children who can say ' “Good morn- ing” at almost any tiine of the day, and return answers to such burning questions as, “What is your name?” “Where do you Uve?” Gordenker’s best energy has heen given to ipducing the Town Presidente to get him carpenters and then showing the carpenters how, where and what he wants done.

In a Scotch country parish, not long ago, there lived a church officer who had | filled"that post and that of grave-digger for the long space of fifty years. Sus- picion had long been entertained that he was in the habit of helping himself out of the collection plate whenever oppor- tunity admitted: It was difficult, of course, to prove this. - At last, however, the.sum of £1 was abstracted from a missionary box which stood in the vestry and.everything combined to point out this man as the culprit: The elders told the minister that.something must really be done. The reverend gentleman saia he would make investigations. ° The following Sabbath, after the morn- ing service, the. minister was taking off his gown and bands, and, being alone in the vestry with the suspected man, he thought the opportunity was too good to be lost, so he said; “Andrew, have you heard of the money that is missing from the box?" “Q’ay.” said Andrew, “I was hearing something aboot it.” . ° “Andrew,” continued -the other, viry gravely, “this matter lies between you and me. We are the only twe who have access to the box. Either you or I must be the thief.” - “'Deed, sir,” rejoined the imperturbabie Andrew, “it is just as you say; we're the only twa that has had access to the-box, and I think .thé best way'll be for you tae pay the half and I pay the tither, and say nae mair aboot it.”—Tit Bits, —_————— Dr. F.
