ADJUSTMENTS.

This evening Francis Wilson and his
comic opera company will begin their
engagement in the Grand opera house,
and the indications all point to a very
cordial reception to that famous organi-
zation. The company will remain one
week, and in that time they will pro-
duce two of their elaborate operas. On
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday they
will present The Merry Monarch, in
which they appeared in the Broadway
theater for twenty-three weeks, and on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday they
will play their latest success, The Lion
Tanner. Both of these operas will be
staged In the most complete manner,
and all the original scenery will be
used. The Merry Monarch is based on
incidents happening in India. King Anso
WITH is the title of Mr.. Wilson's part, and
his success as the eastern potentate
whose superstitious belief in astrology
leads him into all sorts of troublesome
and highly humorous situations. The first
act of the opera shows beautiful east
er.p scene in public square facing the
pals, ,se; the second act takes place in tine
throne, room, and it is promised that
this setting will be found one of the most
novel and brilliant ever shown here. 1t
represents huge hall, known as the
aEs,, of the Statues" in which gigantic
statues OF nsutcb dancerElsupport the
ceiling. The last st represents the
"Hall of the Elephants" a ps,Yate audi
ence chamber in the palace. The COS
TUNES are said to be exceptionally pic.
tureeque and beautiful.
The Lion Tanner, MIR. Wilson's second
production, is totally difficult in char
acter. 1t tells the story of circus life "a
France. The opera was first produced
in Paris about twelve years ago and ran
for many weeks there. The version
used by Mr.. Wilson, however, differs
very widely from the original and was
made by Cheever Goodwin, the libret-
tist of The Merry Monarch, while the
music was specially composed for
Mr.. Wilson by Richard Stahl.
The scenes and effects are all said to
be of most original kind and the
many circus incidents give the perform
ance novel and most interesting char
acter. AS Mr.. Wilson does not give per-
formances in any other city in California
the managers have arranged Drum thea
ter trains from other places during this
engagement. The company conclud, ID

TIKI San Diego Uuion urges the cham
ber of commerce in that city to open
correspondence with a view of making
arrangements with the Upton line of
steamships to open trade between San
Diego and the Orient. Those good peo-
pie ought to look after some solvent and
well-established line, if they want
steamships to call at the San Diego
wharves. The Upton line is hopelessly
bankrupt, and poor Upton has about
gone crazy. His credit is gone. His
best ship, the zambesi, is attached and
he csnnot get credit for coal enough to
carry steamer from Hong Kong or
Shanghai to Yokohama. 1t is not any
source Of congratulation for any seaport
to have the Upton line of steamers run
ming there. If they could get some re-
sponsible company, like the Messageries
Maritimes or the Peninsular and ORR
entail, that would be something worth
having.

THE Examiner comes out with sem
sational story to the effect that James
P. Kerr, editor of the Breeder and
Sportsman, was poisoned at Denver,
where he died about ten days ago. As
Mr.. Kerr's body was only recently in
tered in San Francisco, it can easily be
examined for traces of poison in the
stomach. Strange indeed it is that his
own paper makes no charge of the kind.
Yet there is another singular thing
about the matter, that Kerr should leave
one-third Of his property to Thompson,
the foot-racer, and disinherit his own
sister altogether. Frederick W. Kelly,
who has been Kerr's confidential clerk
for the past three years, is named as a
legatee under the will and declines to
accept the bequest. Soft is evident that
Kerr was not of sound mind when the
will was drawn and there is likely to be
some litigation over that document.

PACIFIC GOSPEL UNION.

Hungry Bodies and Hungry Souls Arc
Given Needed Food.
The usual Sunday morning breakfast
given by the ladies of that committee of
the Pacific Gospel union yesterday
morning was successful. One hundred
and six people of various ages and sex
had their hungry bodies filed. after
which the Rev. o. r. Reed filed their
hungry souls with scriptural words.
The subject of his discourse was: How
Long Halt Ye Between Two Opinions
The speaker was very impressive, and
after he had finished several hands were
raiaed for prayer, and number entered
the inquiry rooms to further wrestle
with what WIS, but is no longer to them.
the knotty question. The reverend
gentleman preached again in the even
ingto very large audience, and he
also conducted the three usual meetings
from the gospel wagon.
His text was John, iii, z: eye must
be born again." Several accepted the
message and stepped out boldly to apply
for the new birth.
The prayer meeting in the afternoon
was conducted by Mr.. Stevens, and the
usual evening service at Branch No.
by Miss Josephine Cowgirl and A. M.
Armour. Both meetings were highly
instructive and successful.

The latest development in the Home
stead affair is the ordering out of the
state troops by Governor Pattison. He
refrained from this course until it be-
came apparent that the civil authorities
had exhausted all their resources in
the effort to restore order. But, as if
not to mince matters, now that the pres
ence OF troops is deemed necessary,
the governor has ordered the entire
force of the state eight thousand men
to the scene of hostility. The strikers,
however, evince disposition not to
resist the militia, go it ia probable no
bloodshed will result from the presence
Of the citizen soldiers.

THE STANFORD UNIVERSITY.

The great educational institute which
the sturdy old war-governor of this
state, founded in the name of his we'll
beloved son, has now been in operation
q trifle over nine months and has scored
q palpable hit on every occasion. The
senator, as most of our readers are
aware, was once nominated as regent
of the state university but when his
name came up for confirmation by the
senate, he was rejected. Had the Office
been one of compensation or patronage,
the case would have been different, but
as it is trust rather than an Office and as
it is a standing expense to any man that
accepts it, the old gentleman justly felt
hostile over his treatment. Shortly
after that his only son died and the
senator took his own method of revenge,
by founding new educational institu-
ton with bequest 80 enormous that
the bequest OF Stephen Girard looks like
camp-meeting collection alongside
of it.
A very practical man himself. the
senator has fought against everything
superficial in the systems of education
pursued at Palo Alto. IF you want to
abolieh poverty in America" said he
one day to the writer of this article,
"there is but one way to reach such a
result and that is by educating boys
practically and teaching them how to
make money. The graduates of eastern
colleges whom we have taken into the
railroad employ have, almost invari-
ably, proven themselves the slowest and
least reliable clerks we have had. The
cause oi this is that modern collegiate
education is, for the most part, wholly
superficial. I will have none of that
down at Palo Alto. Boys shall be
taught clear bread and meat, if / have
anything to say about the matter"
The lectures delivered by the faculty
Of the Stanford University. during the
period Of its actual operations, have
been of character to inspire youth
with an ambition for the practical rather
than the theoretical. Professor Jordan's
discourses upon the 1pod fishes of the
Pacific coast were worded go as to show
that he had studied the commercial
principles of the matter quite as much
as the scientific; and as for the entomo-
logical lectures of Professor Smith, they
have been of more service to the fruit
growers and orchardiets of California
than all the lectures upon the same sub-
ject that have emsnated from the state
university during the whole twenty Eve
years of its existence.
1t will be three years before any stu
dents begin to graduate from the great
college at Palo Alto, but it is evident
that its alumni will be generally men of
good business ability. Many of them
will go into mechanical pursuit, while
others may turn their steps towards
commerce and manufactures. But we
are confident that the teachings at Palo
Alto will be the animsting spirits OF
their lives and contribute largely to
.Seir future success. The Stanford uni
vers;tv Ia today the most American Of
all American Cd t4leges and California has
good cause to be prouH" OF it.

the affections of the people OF the obedi-
ence OF the army as was accorded to his
father or his grandfather. 1t is to Bis
marck, rather than to any other twenty
men, living or dead, that the present
German empire owes it's existence and
its unification. But for him, the crazy
son of "Unser Fritz" would be the king
of Prussia only; and even that title is
not likely to last him very long if he
does not "take tumble to himself"
and turn over new leaf.

OUR WORLDS COLUMBIAN FAIR ILLUS
TRATED EDITION.

The HERALD will issue worlds Co
lumbian fair edition of the ILLUSTRATED
HERALD. Arrangements have .been
made with the most finished artists in
America toinsure the greatest perfection
Of detail to the illustrations. A quarter
OF million copies of this matchless
publication will be issued. 1t will be
printed on heavy book paper, and will
be distributed by uniformed boys during
the progress of the exposition, and the
distribution viii be under the direction
of an intelligent superintendent, who
will see that each copy shall 60 where it
will do the most good. 1t will be de-
voted to Southern California, every por-
tion OF which will be treated impair
TALLY. In few days accredited agents
Of the HERALD will start out on the
work of canvassing the people in the
interest OF this mammoth enterprise.
Those who can contribute advertising
patronage are expected to do so, while
almost anybody can subscribe for copies
to be either mailed east by themselves, or
distributed at the worlds fair through
the HERALD's agency. There is no rea-
son why the greatest boom ever known in
the history of Southern California should
not follow in the wake OF the Columbian
worlds fair. It is the mission of the
HERALD to see that this shall be the
case. The high standard OF previous
editions OF the HERALD il a guarantee
that this supreme effort will be of excep-
tional merit. The aim will be to make
It nonpafeil. 1t will be noted that In
this ambitious edition all the counties
Of Southern California are to be in
cluded. We bespeak for this enterprise
the generous patronage which will un-
dodbtedly be accorded to it, and which
In reality will only be bread cast upon
the waters, which will return before the
lapse OF msny days, This Is the mis-
eionary era in Southern California. We
need people, and the HERAiD proposes
to see that they shall get here, in great
numbers and of the right kind.

WEAVER AND HIS CHANCES.

There are, in this world OF ours, RoL We
men 80 easily reached by fattery that
they regard nomination for Office in
the light of compliment, even with
the certainty of defeat staring them full
in the face. They remind one OF the
man who was listening to his friend ex-
patiating upon the evils Of lottery
gambling. The friend said that the
man had only about one chance in ten
thousand to win prize. Eyes," re-
piled the other, "but did you ever hear
OF man winning a prize that hadn't
got ticket?'' That is the way with the
ambitious class of politicians we now
have in contemplation. They do not
see how man can get elected unless he
first gets a nomination; and, for the
sake of getting a nomination, they will
go up before almost any kind Of con.
vention. .es
General Weaver, the present candi-
date of the Peoples party, is oneof this
very class of politicians and has boxed
the compass OF partisan politics more
thoroughly than any other public man
in America. He was not really the
choice of the Republican soreheads that
comprise the chief element in the
so-called Peoples party, not by good
deal. They wanted Gresham, who was
always strong man, but the judge is
holding federal Office by gift of Re-
publican president. Hence he felt it a
point of honor to decline. Then the
convention fell back on General Weaver
as their candidate, and did go with a
very bad grace. Now let's see what sre
his chances for an election. Rather
infniteaaima..., perhaps. but we will look
item over, all the came.
General Weaver ran for president on
the greenback ticket in 1880, when Mr..
Garfield represented the Republican
Candidacy and General Hancock the
Democracy. Weaver polled in Michi
gan the largest vote he got, 34.S95. He
got 32,227 in Iowa, 26,200 in Texas
2B,O5S in Illinois, 20.668 in Pennsyl
vania, 1888 in Kansas and 13, 1868 in
Indiana. His total vote was 306, ,219
and yet he did not get a single electora
vote in the entire United States W.
! do not look for him to get single cleo
toral vote this year, bnt whatever hs
does get he will acquire from States tba
have hitherto been accredited to thu
Republicans.

They Were Burned Yesterday at San
Pedro.
San Pedro was visited by fire yes
terday. While Father Paraquery,
known all over as "the artist priest, !"
was conducting services, his residence,
right opposite the church, caught fire.
The department responded and man
aged to save the house, but the studio
of Father Paraquery was entirely de-
stroyed. Paintings to the value of $1,000
were destroyed. 1t will be remembered
that the paintings which adorn the old
Plaza church were made by Father Par
aquery. The house and studio were
only finished on Saturday. The fire
was caused by an oil stove. The entire
loss will probably foot up about $500.
