Hie is the king-pin of the Orpheum bill this weel, and the pregramme has him “Europe’s most dextrous juggler.” | It further says “His rqual Has Never Beein Seen,” which is tiue enough. But | juggling? The gentieman neither grows egks on his heel, nor makes a rabbit- warren of his hat, which no good juggler ever neglects to do. Nor does Mr. Salerno even make the time-honored omelet in time-honored pocket. In fact he Is v new, origiral to recklessness. you think you have him— with the usual hat on the usual foot to tip on the usual head—you haven't. He has you. | For on the top of the usual hat on the usual foot is the unusual cigar, which makes -for the wnusuai lip as the hat| makes for the head. This “juggler”—if | he likes it that way—does not seem at all | particular what he juggles with. He took | everything in sight last night but Mr. | Rosner. For cholce he seemed to prefer playing with the cork that popped out of the champagne boitle, the freezer, the champagne, a table napkin and his assiai- 4nt’s toupee. Then he took the cham- pagne glass in his mouth, rim to lip,| stood on his hands on the table, picked up the champagne bottle with his feet, filled the glass, lald the bottle on his head, put his feet where they belong. handed the bottle with his back hair on to his noble brow, and drank the wine like a a veteran. Mr. Salerno finishes his turn with a pyrotechnic affair in electrio | torches. But “juggling!” I never saw | juggling llke that. | fne bill 1s a capital one almost | throughout, an indifferent turn or two | to contrast with the rest. Charley | Case would say he is a case in polnt.i i almost too funny. | wio monols In a | quite new way. Dixon and Anger do it the other way—that is the one that does the talk. Case has something of | the superb silliness of James J. Mor- | fton. He has something also of the | adorable naivete of that admirable sil- | licist. Otherwise Mr. Case reminds of | no one. His stories are all new and | newly told. | Mr. Case, who talks mostly about his | father, says that his mother could al- | ways tell when that gentleman had been drinking. “The minut she could tel | never could. she went to the door | he recounts. “We boys | But she always could.

Tt is the slickest, swift- est, neatest thing of its kind ever seen | here There is much dancing on the bill The Esmeralda sisters, with their four | assistants, have an extremely pretty turn, prettily dressed and beautifully | danced. The Hengler sisters are the | other danseuses. Now, the Henglers are the vogue in New York. They look | New York, with their dog collars of | pearls, Christy figures and general air | of swell girldom. One felt one should be looking at them through a bediamonded lorgnette—per- | haps it was because I hadn’t mine along | that T felt a little Injured. The turn is a | little too *‘superior,” too ‘“reflned.” It is| | pretty, graceful, dainty, clever, but with overmuch of a ‘“caviare-to-the-general air.

The last is only worth | all the rest—except Salerno. | BLANCHE PARTINGTON. | IS | Grand Opera-House. A big crowd assembled at the Grand Opera-house Aast night to welcome | James Brophy back to the old home. He is just as clever as in those other years, even if his life in distant cities has added to his girth. All of the old friends were there, from Henry Finkler, his brother-in-law, of airship fame, to the gray-haired man who employed him for many vears before he discovered that he was an actor. They gave him royal greeting and his response was highly pleasing and appropriate. The play, “Shadows on the Hearth,” | was splendidly rendered by Brophy and company. The stage set- tings were particularly fine. Some singing specialties, which included “Molly” and “Everybody Works but Father,” brought down the house. Estha Willlams, the leading lady, did | well in the part of a suffering and self- | sacrificing girl. Inez Bayard shone per- | ceptibly with Brophy .and Miss Wil- liams above the others of the company. There is some fun and a great deal of of the pathetic in the piece. By special request Brophy and his’ company will present “At the Old Crossroads” next Sunday afternoon and evening. | his excellent ———————————— ‘Water Front Notes.

The channel as constricted by dams built on both sides is slowly gaining in depth by the action of the current, which has sensibly increased in volume and rapidity. When Mare Tsland was first es- tablished the depth of water in the strait was nowhere less thau forty feet, and in most places sixty feet. That a contin- gency could ever arise of water so shoal ag to prevent any ship the Gevernment could build from approaching the navy ard seemed Impossible, but owing to the vast amount of debris brought down from upper river and deflected into the straits by the currents the channel has gradually shoaled, until for several years vessels exceeding seventeen feet in draught were practically exciuded from the yard. A good deal of Government money has been spent in efforts to main- tain a channel, but heretofore without gucc:s8 D edging was only temporarily effective, the debris 800n uepos.ung back again all that was taken out. A last and final attempt was determined upon by the Government engineers, and the work has been actively conducted for some months. The plan is known as the jetty system, the same principle adopted with success by Eads at the mouth of the Mississippi River, and contemplates constricting the channel of Mare Island Straits on both banks for a distance of 25,000 feet. By this plan a uniform width of 1200 feet will be maintained in the channel. There Is but one permanent obstruction in the straits, known as Constitution Rock, which projects at low water, but leaves on one side a channel 700 feet in width. There is a depth of 100 feet of siit throughout. By the operations of 1898 the shore line of Mare lsland was straight- ened and 275 acres of new land were | gained by means of the works, which | were bullt across the indentations of the | a shore. On the Vallejo side extensive shore | line works have been in progress for a vear. lateral dykes, by which the channel has been straightened by the closing of wide indentations, which it is proposed to fill up as 8oon as the dykes are finished. By means of the narrowing of the chan- nel the current running through the straits will be accelerated to such an ex- tent that a rapid scouring of the debris will be effected. Even before the com- pletion of the dikes recent soundings show a sensible Increase in depth throughout the whole length, more rap- 1dly in some places than in others, giving the greatest encouragement to those who advocated the new plan. Five spur dikes have been completed on the island side, each 450 feet long and 1000 feet apart, thus giving 4000 feet of deep water frontage when the dike Joining the four spurs is completed. The Government will thus gain forty acres of new land suitable for warehouses or magazines. On the Vallejo side there is one car- dinal dvke 20 feet long about com- pleted. It will inclose the widest inden- tation on the land sides. Some of the plles used were 110 feet long. At the en- trance of the straits a spur dyke 900 feet long projectiug southwesterly from the shore i to be buiit, and by its means it is hoped to deflect the silt bearing cur- rent from the upper bay toward the south shore. Just opposite the navy-yard a series of spur dvkes will project from the shore, to be subsequently joined by a longitudi- nal dyke, and the shallows filled up. A | million feet of timber and over 4000 piles | will be required to complete the under- taking, which it is hoped to finish next | year. In addition to the automatie scouring out of the channel by the narrowing of the straits the Government proposes to install a jet scow which {8 belng bullt at the yards and to be of 175 tons dis- placement. This will be equipped with powerful pumpe and engines for its own propulsion. The boflers will be of 100 horsepower and drive a powerful three- step centrifugal at a pressure of 140 pounds, forcing powerful jets through eight, nozzles against the soft deposits on the bottom, by which the silt will be agitated and carried out to deep water by the receding current. ° ‘With an increased depth following the installation of the jetty system, the use- fulness of Mare Island will be largely stimulated.

The members of the First Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church gathered at the corner of Harrison and Essex streets ices connected with the laying of the cor- nerstone of what will soon be their mag- nificent new church. The ceremonies were impreseive and were performed in three different lan- guages—Finnish, Swedish and English. | On the highest point of the uncompleted structure floated the American flag, un- der which was the blue and white flag of Finland. Rev. A. Renvall, pastor of the church, took - an active part In the services throughout the afternoon and carried the programme to a successful end. He ad- dressed the congregation in the Finnish | language, and impressed those present with the need of the church for which they have been working ever since they were first organized Rev. Mr. Tarkkanen, who was sent ou from Finland~o conduct the work. . Philip Andreen, Ph. D., pastor of | the 8wedish Ebenezer Church, Fifteenth 1and Dolores streel tory, in English, of the Finnizh people since Christianity was first established in | their land. Many great changes, he as- serts, took place immediately after the | establishment of the Protestant Lutheran Church fn their country. Literature was first spread throughout the country in the form of prayer books and Bibles. This was really the first step in learning. Several other addresses were given in different languages by prominent minis- | ters of the different Lutheran churches | about the city, after which the corner- | stone was laid In the presence of a large crowd. In the box were placed several pleces of Finnish money coined in 1880, | several American coins, together with a | history of the church from the time it | was first organized in this city to the | present date, and the latest American and | Finnish papers that could be secured. Tn 1890 the Rev. Mr. Tarkkanen, who | was sent out by the Finnish Seamen’s So- clety of Finland, established the first and | only Finnish Lutheran Church on the | Paclfic Coast. The church had a rapid growth from the start, and in 1899 the present pastor had it incorporated with a view to building their place of worship. They succeeded in raising enough money to purchase the lot, with a considerable margin for the bullding. At the present | time there are about 3000 Finns in this | city, most of whom are members of this | ehureh. | During the afternoon the following pro- | gramme was rendered: cech in Finnish language, Rev. A. Ren- | vaits sone . ehote: -mh‘tm Swedish lan- guage, Rev. K. E. Lindstrom; speech in Eng- i lish language, Rev. Philip Andreen, Ph. D.; i song by choir; laying of cornerstone; song by the choir. SIS SPECIL TO0K THELOOT {John H. Otf Declares That | Policeman of Albuquer- que Has the Stolen Coin —_———— The police believe that John D. Ott, who was brought back from Albuquerque yes- | terday by Detective Freel, has cached the greater portion of the $1100 he stole | from Frank Johnson in the city where he | was captured. 3 | On the return trip he hinted to Freel | that Speclal Policeman Jordan, who cap- | tured him_helped to conceal the money. Otto told Freel that he had burled the money in Jordan's stable. He was per- mitted by his captor to go into the sta- ble, and while there, he claimed, he “planted” the loot. The local police are confident that he had the money with him when he was caught In Albuquerque. | Freel had great difficulty in getting the | prisoner. Jordan at first positively re- fused to "surrender him until the reward of $25 was pald. After much bickering Freel finally wired to Chlef Dinan for the money. The peculiar fact that Ott had only $180 when arrested roused Freel's suspicions. He remarked upon it to Jor- dan. The special finally let Freel take the prisoner without paying the reward. Ott contradicted himself several times | after reaching this city. Chief Dinan is somewhat in doubt as to whether his accusation against Jordan is true. He will wire Albuquerque and have the mat- | ter sifted to the bottom. Ott, who Is a bricklayer, robbed Frank Johnson, a brother in the craft, of $1100 in this city several weeks ago. o The Chief of Police recelved a letter from his wife In the East last Friday asking him to locate her husband. She is ignorant of his plight. Most of the money taken by Ott was in bills. —_————————— | PHOTOGRAPHS SENT . BY TELEGRAPH Munich Inventor Announces the Success of His Experiments. | Specia!
