Running an Eating House.

From the Morning Baby" San Diego, CAL
A few days ago (say seven) a gentle
man, Mr.. Emerson, of San Antonio,
came on short visit to our beautiful
little city of San Diego. Upon inquiry,
the gentleman found that our hotel ao-
commodations were insufficient to the
demand OF our visitors and the travel
ing public; so, taking time by the fore
lock, he (the gentleman from Texas)
builds new hotel and calls IL the Emer-
son House. The building Ia now finished
and is located on the corner OF Fourth
and A streets, perhaps the most besuti-
full location In San Diego. Mr.. Emerson
Is one of our Texas energetic men, and
an honor TO the city, county and state
he lives In. San Diego wants all such
men to call and remain. The new hotel

Theatre Last Night.

Last night a delightful comedy was
given at the Theatre by Salsbury's
Troubadours to very fine and fashion
able audience.
1t is four years or more since the
Troubadours were in Richmond before,
and the welcome they received showed
that their former appearance was moi
forgotten.
Their new musical comedy, the
Humming Bird" is full OF fun from
beginning to end, and deserves the praise
that has been given wherever it has ap-
peared.
Miss Nellie McHenry. for the vivacity
and the earnestness with which she sus.
tains her character of "Sally Styles,
quite took the audience by storm. She
is genuine comedienne, and with hei
graceful and sometimes grotesque daH'
cling kept her audience thoroughly
amused. In her singing she is equally
good. and each song received triple
encore.
Mr. John Webster as Honeymoon
was her chief support, and he is very
clever and amusing actor. Mr.. Franz
Blair as "Joseph Brass and the Other
members of the company all did well
and the singing Of Miss Ethele Corlettt
was captivating, she receiving for each
song an encore.
The play will be repeated tonight and
tomorrow, and richly deserves every
support, and all attending will thorough
ly enjoy the performance.
