Ihirty-one Nations Have Already Agreed
to Participate.
A circular issued by the Art Department
has been received al the State Worlds Fair
headquarters, urging every architect in the
country to assist personally in making a
notable exhibit OF Americas capacity in this
line. The circular concludes:
The membership OF the American Institute Of
Architects includes all the well-kuown names, In
different parts Of the country. Of men 10 whom,
the growth OF American architecture as dis-
tiBguished from mere building and construction
Is due. 1t Is by these men THAT tie growth Of fine
architecture during the past thirty years has
0Sen developed In THIS country.
Word has been received from Chicago that
thirty-one nations have formerly accepted
the invitation to participate in the EXPOSE
ton. Holland has as yet made no move
ment toward an acceptance, and some un-
easness was felt in various quarters on ac-
count Of tie art treasures of that country. 1t
IS believed. however, that the victory of the
Holland Liberal party makes more probable
Government recognition of the Worlds
Fair.
The German merchants and manufacture
ers are said to be very enthusiastic, and
eager to redeem the unfavorable opinions
prevailing in regard to the German exhibit
at the Centennial.

of S57S. 773 out of total tax levy of about

Russell, the genial manager of the New

the New California, never quits the theater,
it is said. excepting to take his meals. He
is on the stage night and day. All day

at night standing by the wings to see that
his reIearsals are being carried out.
Every programme shows changes, and
his people, especially the comedians

An Opinion That the Difficulties VIII Be
Easily Settled.
The usual monthly meeting of San Fran
cisco Typothete was held yesterday after
noon at 219 Bush street, though very little
of interest was transacted. The troubles
between that body and the Freshmen S
Union were discussed to some extent. but
no definite action taken. The whole matter
was left in the hands of the Conference
Committee with full! power to act. 1t is
understood that the committees Of the
Typothet@ and Pressmen's Union will
meet in day or two, and there is every
reason to believe, SO the Secretary Of the
former says, that all differences will be
amicably settled.
Secretary Rollins does not think there is
as much occasion for trouble as some OF the
other members. and, having complete con-
fdence in the executive officers Of both
organizations. thinks the matter will be
settled without further friction

Full Attendance "The Charity Ball" al

The Lyceum Theater Company have
made excellent play with the double bill,
The Open Gates" and Nerves" and we
question if any one in the attractive pro-
grammes of the engagement, so far, has
been so thoroughly appreciated. 1t is like
giving two chapters in the experience of hu-
man existence each differing from the other,
but both equally true to nature. One is the
gilt of sentiment on the gingerbread Of life,
and in the other we find the gOld-leaf worn
of by time and the rough hands Of expert
ence and familiarity. Although these con-
ditions are simulated, they seem actual to
those who sit in the auditorium. The play
ers take care of that. This evening The

Albani in London.
Nine. Albani has captured London


Nine. Albani has captured London audi
ences by her performance of Desdemona,
and the English press emphasize the opinion
already expressed by the critics of San
Francisco. We quote the London Times of
July 16.h, when that paper, speaking of the
madame's rendering Of this role, says
One point in which last nights perform
ance far outshone the earlier production
was, OF course, the Desdemona of Nine
Albani, now seen for the first time in En-
gland. though given with immense success
IN America. The great singer has never
done anything more completely artistic than
this assumption, and, whether from the
musical or dramatic point of view, it is
alike admirable. 1t is difficult TO choose
where all Is so good, but possibly the pas
S1ge which will remain most distinctly in
the minds of all who were present is the
delivery Of that passionate Outburst after
the willow song in which Desdemona
clings to Emilia while bidding her farewell.
The willow song itself and the subsequent
scene might almost have been written for
the singer, so perfectly do they suit her; her
Incompatible meZZa voce is used with great
skill in the Ave Maria and the pathetic
dying utterances."
