The new German theatrical company
made fine opening to the San Francisco
publie-especially to the German-speaking
portion OF it-at the Baldwin Theater on
Sunday night in play of A. Won Woe

piece deals very cleverlv with the social
preten sion of family of the Ger
man nobility, living on moderate means.
and the easy. off handed ways of
a young German-Ameriean, who. being a
skilled workman and successful, pays a
visit to the old country. The auditorium
was we'll hlled, the audience animated, and
quite in sympathy with the auditor and the
actors. This was due 10 the fact that the
acting was we'll rounded up and. as a whole,
satisfactory. Director Htzigrath. who rep

found wanting. Mr.. Owen made one

he did not abuse any party. He
brought out figures and facts and
gave Hunt to understand, as he had
come down out of the pulpit, to try
to deceive the good people of this

would have to step back in the pulpit
for his living.

ASHEVILLE QUIET AGAIN.
The Str eet Railway Rumpus has Been
Settled at Last

The Asheville Aldermen tore up
the Asheville electric street car track.
because the street car company would
not pave its track as it agreed to do
in the contract when it got a charter
granted to it. The city was paving
all around the track at the time, and
offered to let the street car company
nave paving material at prime cost.
But the ASheville Electric Street
Railway Corporation had no soul but
very large giZZard and very disorder
ed liver. 1t began to act dispeptical-
ly. 1t told the city of Asheville that
it was running that street car line
itself, and it would do as it pleased.
The Aldermen then decided that a
yermifugical treatment was about
what the street car concern needed
so they tore up its track on Patton
Avenue. This, however, only tended
to make the street car concern more
VermicellaceOuS, to use an elegant
word rather than an ugly, grovelling
one, and it started to put the track
back, but the Chief-of-Police tapped
it on the shoulder as it was about to
put down the first rail, and it thought
bette" of its intention. Although it
couldn't lay any steel track in public,
we have information to the effect that
it had sort of private raillery in its
Office, where it rallied on the Aldermen
to relieve it's feelings.
The case was taken to law by the
company, and the decision was that
the city must allow the company to
replace its track, and the company
must pave between it's rails
This dose has greatly improved the
health of the corporation, and indeed
the entire street railways system is
in good order now

he lay until late in the evening when

He then crawled down and slipped
out without being discovered by the
jailer, who did not find it out until
nine o'clock this morning. He was
at the depot to see another prisoner
off. This prisoner told him Of the es-
cape.
Thomas escape was either the
fault of the jailer or his son. They
should have locked the outside door
