f'The Blue and the Gray"
The clientele of the Alcazar had an OPP
p0rtunity of witnessing a military drama
last evening, rejoicing in the title of ''The
Blue ana the Gray" founded on incidents
of the late civil war in America. 1t has an
interesting story, in which pathos and humor
are skiIlfully intermingled. Miss Katie En-

a warm-hearted Southern girl, in love
with Captain Mark Stanley, a Union
officer. She got through her task very pleas

SUPERVISORS.
The Board Is Not So Fast With
the Charity Fund.

At last nights meeting of the Board Of
Supervisors the order proposing to reor-
ganize the Fire Department Charity Fund
was referred to the City and County AttOr-
ney to ascertain whether or not the board
has the right TO further interfere with that
matter.
When the order, framed and proposed by
Chairman Ebert of the Finance Committee,
came up for final passage, Jackson said he
was in doubt about the power of the board
to re-create the fund, and SO moved to have
it referred.
DR.. aver was of the opinion that the
board had exhausted its power by cutting
off its contributions to the fund, and now 1t
should take its hands OFF.
Ebert expressed great surprise that fell
low-member of the Finance Committee
(JacksOn) should undertake to delay
measure he was at first so heartily in IA
yOr of.
Taber agreed with Ebert, and wanted to
have the order passed.

THE USE OF GASOLINE,
An amendment was proposed and passed
to print to the ordinance regulating the use
of gasoline. 1t provides that no one shall
such liquid that cannot stand test of 110o
Fahrenheit without the written consent OF
the Chief Of the Fire Department.
Acting Chief Sullivan and the Board of
Fire WardenS had Endorsed the amendment.
The resolution inStTucting the Superiu-
tendent OF Streets and the City and County
Attorney to cease all proceedings at law
against the San Francisco and San Mate0
Electric Railroad Company was finally
passed, Ellert and Hyer voting no.
A resolution was adopted authorizing
Chief of Police Crowley TO use $1,000 of the
money which has accumulated in his hands
for the keeping Of transient prisoners to re-
pay the stolen money and property from the
Property Clerks Office short time ago.
ELLERT's REMINDER
Ebert moved to refer the matter to the
Finance Committee; lost-only himself and
Hyer voting for it.
He then moved to refer 1t to the City and
County Attorney; likewise lost by the same
vote.
After the vote had been announced Ebert
reminded the board that the resolution is
not worth the paper it is written on, be-
cause anything over $500 must first go to
print, then TO final passage and secure the
Mayors approval.

Miss Lillian Lamson in Twelfth Night
A highly creditable performance of
Shakespeare's comedy, Twelfth Night"
was given at the Avon Theater, Stockton,
on Saturday evening last in the presence of
an appreciative audience. Miss Lillian Lam
son, a young and promising actress, essayed
the character of Viola, generally conceded
to be one of Shakespeare'S most thoroughly
feminine and wholly l0Vable herOineS.
Miss LamsOn has well-mOdulated voice,
marked Intelligence and considerable emo
tiOnal power. In her male attire as the
Page CpSario she presented very handsome
appearance. Perhaps her best work was
done in the scene with the Duke, vino thinks
her a boy, while she loves MIN as woman
and reveals the state of her mind when she
says:
A blank my lord. she never told her love,
But let cOnceament Ike a worm / the bud
Feed on her damaS6 cheek
In the delivery of this beautiful passage
Miss LamSOn was thoroughly in harmony
with the situation. a great deal Of her sue
cess was no doubt due to her excellent com
pany, which had been carefully rehearsed
by that clever little actor and stage
manager, Mr.. j. n. Long. Though
only week was taken up IN
the preparation OF the comedy it ran
with great smOothness. Most Of those in the
cast are members OF the AlcaZar Stock Com
pany, at present enjoying short recess.
The leading male character, MalvoiO. was
intruSted TO Mr. James 4. Wilson, and was
handled in that talented actors best
style. He thoroughly graSped the niCeties
of the character, and in the scene where
he. finds the conspirators' letter he dis
played ability Of a high order. Sir Toby
/ Belch in Mr.. Julius kahn's hands was a
prime feature Of the production. This con-
Scientious actor gave a fine presentation of
| this bibulouS hanger-oa to the bounty Of
his cousin. The Sir Andrew AgUeCheek of
Mr.. George Trader was a careful perform
auce. Mr.. !. y. Long undertook the part
of the clown and played it in a light and airy
manner. showing how we'll he could adapt
