Alfred Reisenauer gave his second piano recital last night at Lyric Hall and easily roused his audience to en- thusiasm. He Interpreted works of Schumann, Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt and Chopin in masterly manner and so great was his presentation of the “Hungarian Marche,” transcribed by Liszt, that he was given an ovation. Relsenauer will play at a matinee to-day, beginning at 2:30 o'clock.

It is the custom each year for the members of the various Grand Army posts to send delegates to each school where patriotic exercises in honor of the great martyr President are held. The various posts throughout the city have been making arrangements for the cele- bration, and now all is in readiness. For several years past this custom has been in force among the veterans. It was inaugurated here and from the first proved a success. The custom met with favor all over the country, till at the present time it is a national day of rev- erence. An effort was made some time ago to have Lincoln day set aside as a legal holiday, but the measure was not carried, so the Grand Army veterans have made it a sort of fete day. In every public school of the ecity a spe- cial programme will be rendered in honor | of the man who freed the slaves. The | programmes will consist of patriotic exer- | cises, recitations and the like, followed by | short addresses by the Grand Army men | who will visit the various schools. Horace | Wilson, commander of George H.

It is announced by the management that in line with a policy inaugurated at the beginning of this year the San | Francisco Gas and Electric Company will district the city and establish a system of twelve branch offices. Each of these districts will be under the su- perintendency of a district manager, who will have associated with him a com- | petent staff of assistants, thus making |in each of these districts a complete | equipment to render prompter service | to the consumer, to remedy defects in | the system, to Pacilitate the collection of bills and In general to provide | greater convenience of consumers, as | well as to develop new business and to | bring under the notice of the manage- ment the needs of the residents in each | of these districts. This has been found absolutely nec- essary in view of the rapid growth and extenslon of the city in all directions, the central office having found it quite impossible to keep in touch with the requirements, especially of all the new- |1y settled and outlying districts. | “The following offices have already | been secured: 1426-1428 Stockton street; | 500 Haight street, northeast corner of Fillmore; 1149 Polk street, next to cor- ner of Sutter; 12 Ninth avenue, between |5 and I streets; 421 Presidio avenue, | between California and Sacramento | streets; Sixteenth street, near Mission, next to the new Sixteenth-street The- ater. As soon as proper quarters are found in other districts offices will be estab- lished there. Fall Affects Brain. Henry Bowman, a contractor from San Diego, fell down the stairs in a | water front lodging-house yesterday afternoon and for several hours his mind was a blank.

Powder and patches and polonaise! What a picture they conjure up! ‘Wise were the dames of ye olden day, who knew full well the potency of their charm, emphasizing youth, concealing age, intensifying beauty, effacing blemish l:\d lending to every woman a pretty dig- nity. 2 And wise was the charming Mrs. Ynez Shorb White when she essayed to give a bal poudre as the parting salute to the dancing season of "06. Not a prettier sight has graced the white and gold ballroom of the Palace these many moons than that same func- tion, with the Stars and Stripes a fit background. To fill the picture—which was not a far cry from a Gobelin tapestry—palms lent their beauty and their sheltering shade, ‘neath which many a maid hearkened unto a gallant knight. And many a matron, too, if the truth be told—for it is a notorious fact that both here and in Gotham the maid is quite eclipsed by he smart matron unless by the grace of her ladyship she yvields to the maid—which, let it be known, she sometimes does. A chipper lot of service men gave zest to the dance, and those who had the good taste to come in uniform were quite properly worshiped. Among the smartly gowned women present were: Mrs. Gaston Ashe, in & white point d'esprit over pale sreah, with powdered wl. Miss Elizabeth Allen, white crepe de chine gown and wig. Miss Ethel Melrose, black striped jusi cloth over black silk. Miss Roma Paxton wore a white silk zown and had her hair powdered.

Mrs. Krauthoff was very handsome white net robe and powdered wig. Miss Nell Rose Baggett, spangied white net gown, embroldered in pink roses, and wearing a wig.

CHARLES H. TREAT IS AT THE PALACE Treasurer of the United States Is Visiting Califor- nia on Pleasure Trip. Charles Henry Treat, the Treasurer of the United States, arrived at the Pglace Hotel yesterday. His visit here is of an entirely personal nature and has nothing to do in any way with the affairs of the business of the country. In speaking In & general way of the financial conditions existing in -the United States, he said: “The financial resources of this country were never 80 great as they are now. The basis of credit has never been so sound here as it is to-day. The safe return of busi- ness profits is regarded by competent business observers to be certain of realization for the current years.” Mr. Treat is accompanied by two friends, John Leary and L. A, Hamil- ton, who together have business inter- ests in the southern portion of the State. This is Mr. Treat's first visit to the coast. He says he has been trying for many years to get uere and when this opportunity offered he availed him- self of the chance to see what the West looked like. ———— Preacher Must Go to Folsom. The Court of Appeal decided yester- day that J. J. Bmith, an itinerant preacher, must break rock at Folsom for a year. The defendant, after guid- ing the feet of the erring into the straight and narrow path, endeavored to sell his converts some fraudulent mining steck. A San Jose servant girl invested $100 she had saved and when she learned that she had been swindled she had the evangelist arrested. prmshibiens- 2= etbahubti Native Daughters Entertatn. _Souci Parlor, Native Daughters of the Golden West, will give an enter- tainment and dance to its members and a number of guests In Scottish Hall to- night.

Telephone South 420, * ¥ ANOTHER TERN 15 ACCEPTABLE the Line Are Classed as Aspirants for Re-election LIFE IN WASHINGTON California’s - Representatives in Congress Are Said to Be Asking for Renomination st The State office holders, Republican all along the line, seem to be willing to stay Just where they are for another term of four years. This is said to apply to Gov- ernor Pardee, Lieutenant Governor An- derson, Controller Colgan, Secretary of State Curry, Attorney General Webb, Treasurer Reeves, Superintendent of Schools Kirk, Surveyor General Woods and State Printer Shannon. There may be an exception in the case of Frank Jordan, Clerk of the Supreme Court. Some months ago he made the announcement that he would not be a candidate for renomination. It is the common impression that the eight representatives in Congress from California will welcome renomination. Rumors come from the north that Con- gressman Gillett is entertaining the no- tion of becoming a candidate for Gov- ernor, but the men who are closest to Gillett say that the gubernatorial b was started to shorten his Congressional career in the interest of another Hum- boldt statesman who would be pleased to represent the First District in Washing- ton. The indications are that Gillett will be renominated and re-elected to Con- gress. Another big battle in the Second Dis- trict would not create surprise in political circles. It is still an open question wheth- er Theodore Bell will enter the race as the Democratic nominee. He is devoting his time and energles to the practice of the law and thé promotion of important railway enterprises in the Napa Valley. It is said by many of his political sup- porters that he will not sacrifice his busi- ness interests to engage in another polit- fcal campaign. There is gossip that State Senator J. B. Sanford of Mendocino Coun- ty will get the Democratic indorsement for Congress in the Second District. It s common talk that Duncan McKinlay of the Second, Joseph Knowland of the Third, Julius Kahn of the Fourth, E. A Hayes of the Fifth, J. C. Needham of the Sixth, James McLachlai of the Seventh and 8. C. Smith of the Eighth expect to be renominated. Should E. A. Hayes be renominated for Congress and J. O. Hayes be nominated for Governor, Justice Lorigan as a candl- date to succeed himself on the Supreme Court bench might encounter objection to his candidacy on the ground that Santa Clara County was amply recog- nized by the honors bestowed on the Hayes brothers. On February 22, Washington’s birthday, there will be something doing in what may be termed ‘‘opposition” politics. Democrats of the Iroquols tribe will hold a State council In San Francisco and adopt plans for seizing the Democratic State organization. On the same day in- itial steps will be taken at a mass meet- ing in Fresno to organize the Public Ownership party in this State. The op- portunity to join a new party and get in on the ground floor will here be presented to several local statesmen who have be- longed to all the existing political organi- zations. Francis J. Heney's estimate of Superior Judges, very frankly made in an after dinner speech at the Family Club on Post street, is a topic of discussion among law- yers and laymen. It is said in Heney's defense that a man should not be held to strict accountability for his utterances after a deluge of wine at a private dinner. The story s told of the Democratic speech made by General W. H. L. Barnes at the banquet to celebrate Eugene Cas- serly’s election to the United States Sen- ate from California, Frank M. Pixley was one of the critics who lambasted Barnes furfously, which castigation in- duced Barnes in self-justification to re- ply: “I am no more responsible for ‘what I say when I am drunk than Pixley is for what he says wheq he is sober.” ——————— RESIDENTS OF OCEAN VIEW WANT DISTRICT IMPROVED Will Present Petition to the Board of Supervisors to Make a Much-Necded Appropriation. At the last meeting of the Ocean View Improvement Club the officers and exerutive committee for the ensuing term were elected. It was also decid- ed to make an earnest plea to the Board of Supervisors for needed im- provements in this section of the city. An effort will be made to have money appropriated from the bond issue for bullding sewers, improving school- houses and bettering accommodations for the residents of Ocean View: also to have Sadowa, Broad and Farallones streets opened to Mission street by the way of Sherman, Farragut and Worden avenues. The residents also want an outlet to the Nineteenth-avenue boulevard by way, of Sadowa and Stanley streets. or Farallones and Randolph streets. More electric lights and several other im- provements are urged. - ADVERTISEMENTS. Straight.
