Rosa or Martinez VIII be selected as the
place Of reunion.
Last night a committee composed Of rep
Tesentatiyes from the IS parlors of this city
met il the Pioneer building for the purpose
of determining whether or not local cele-
0ration should be held L. P. DOckery OF
California ParlOT was elected temporary
chairman, and Henry SchaeTtZeT Of Mission
ParlOT secretary.
As soon as Mr.. Dockery took the chair it
WAS moved that no celebration be held this
year in San Francisco by the Native Sons.
Without any OPPOSITION the motion was
carried.
The chairman then stated that when the
Grand Parlor decided at Los Angeles to
hold no general celebration, it was not ad-
verse to local celebrations. he thought that
the San Francisco par0rs could celebrate in
San Jose or any other city, and If the par
I0Ts from The selected city should desire to
Cooperate to make ii success. il wOuld not
conflict with the ruling Of The Grand PaTlOr.
On motion, resolution was adopted call
ing upon all the local parIors to instruct
their representatives on the committee as 10
their wishes concerning the proposed cele-
bratiOn, the place for holding the same to be
selected hereafter.
The chairman then advocated the holding
Of celebration by the order, as 1t was
through its efforts Admission day had been
made legal holiday. He thought that by
falling to observe it the bankers and bust
ness men would doubtless use that fact as
an argument in favor of repeating the law.
A vote was then taken and the committee
were pretty unanimous ia selecting Santa
Rosa or Martinez rs the place of celebra-
tion, for the reason that either place can be
Teaehed without travelling over the South
ern Pacific Railroad, which gouged them to
the utmost limit on their excursion to Los
Angeles.

THE 9HEATERS.
The Merry Monarch Continues to
Amuse a Baldwin Audience.
Power in the "Ivy Leaf" Little Puck"
The Midnight Alarm Proposed
Benefit to Emma Jueh.

The Baldwin management is fortunate in
securing such a thoroughly good attraction
as Francis Wilson and his clever company
have proved to be, at this season Of the year.
There was slight falling eff last evening
of the public interest in the amusing per-
Torrance Of the Merry Monarch, but this
need only be accepted as the usual Monday
drop" The opera sparkles all through
with good music and pretty songs. Ii
Mr.. Wilson cannot sing himself, lie
more than makes up for the deficiency in
other ways. 1t would really be a pity II
the Merry Monarch" was good vocalist,
for by his nightly successes in what he
does In the place OF singing be opens up
new field for clever, funny men without
voices. what man has done man can do,
and no doubt the king with a great big
capital K" will before long have host
of imitators. if his tumbling down.
stairs trick does not come strictly within
the line of legitimate comedy. The
people want amusing, especially in city
like San Francisco, where business is
conducted on such feyerish and speculative
lines that a change such as can be obtained
by visit to the Baldwin Is most refreshing,
for from the time one sets eyes on the
merry Monarch until the final drop OF the
curtain IL is absolutely Impossible 10 mink
of anything or anyone else but the man who
makes all the fun. COQuelin, the famous
French dramatic artist, once said after see
ing Francis Wilson in Chicago: 'Ihe funny
little man has discovered and practices the
art Of conceaing physical effort in his act
ing better than any artist have ever seen,
and seems to get quite as much enjoyment
out Of his labor as his audience feels In
observing the performance"
The Lion Tanner" a great New York
success, will be the attraction next week by
the same company.

The Bush-street.

"The Midnight Alarm" an exciting melO-
drama of the thrilling order. is the play at
the Bush-street Theater this week, and is
hardly an improvement on those plays of a
similar character that have lately been pro-
Guced for the amusement Of that portion Of
the public who appreciate mechanical melO-
drama. 1t is a curious mixture of the i'm
probable, not 10 say the impossible excepting
in the foOtlight world. There are 10 paIticu-
larry distinguishing characteristics in the
business OF any person engaged in the cast.
1t is simply a dime novel put in action. 1t
is trimmed with thrills" a girl with
handy pistol. and an old lawyer who adds
murder and forgery to his legal practice.
There is applause, too; but those who make
the noise cannot tell why they do it. The
stamping generally follows a positively de-
livered sentence such as, 'Pll blow the top
OF your head off" There is a good deal of
movement but no acting. And Of such is
the modern melodrama.

and retire from business which he found
no longer profitable.
A huge placaTd was placed in the wide
entrance iast evening announcing that the
place was 'clOsed for repairs"
a young but badly wilted man, with hOl-
low cheeks and lustreless eyes, stood in
front of the card and told all who stopped
TO read it that the theater would reopen in
a few weeks. BE was still standing there
att o'clock this morning and repeated his
oft-told stary to a reporter, adding: There's
g good show at the Bella Union"

Tie kind Of people who freQuented that
place did not banker after that kind of
stimulant. There was no money in it for
the b0xWorktrs and beer-Selling women.
They found it hard TO ROB z man who had
filed himself up on soda water.
The public indignation expressed wher-
ever decent people consregate made it alb
soutely impossible to carry on the nefarl0us
trade any longer.
THE Calls crusade, Endorsed as 1t has
been throughout the city and State, has at
last resulted in accomplishing what every
self-respecting citizen must regard as
great public good.

Emma Juch.

We are glad to learn that an effort is to
be made to show that the public of San
Francisco are always alert when called
upon TO honor one to whom honor is due.
This is certainly the case in this instance,
aud it is proposed to organize a grand even
ing concert as a testimonial of the ueo-
pie Of San Francisco to the leading
singer Of America Ii remains for the peo-
pie to respond with true Californian spirit
and show their appreciation of tho fair
prlma donna who is shortly to depart from
this continent for Europe. Miss Juch holds
an unique position in The hearts OF the
American nation, and no prma donna has
ever been called upon to do so much for so
little as Emma Juch, at the same time she
has been the sole means of the public OF
this country being able to enjoy The great
works Of Wagner and other prominent COM
Dosers. A bumper should be in store for
her. NayoS Sanderson, Hon. T. e.. Phelps,
Hon. j. =. Quinn and other prominent citi-
ZenS are interesting themselves In giving
Miss Juch hearty sendOff. Professor H. j.
Stewart has volunteered his services and will
take charge of the pr 0gFamme, and CAPTAIN
w. b. NewSOn has also placed his services
at the disposal of Miss Jueh. and will man
age the concert Hon. j. c. Quinn has
kindly accepted the Office Of treasurer. and
grand programme will be given at an
early date. 1t will facilitate the labors of
the management if friends and admirers of
Miss Juch will kindly signify their willing
ness to assist in making the event a great
financial success by addressing Captain w
i. Newson, care Of Messrs. Sherman &
Clay, city.
The San Francisco Operate Society will
give performance at The BijOu Theater ON
Thursday evening next.

''The Ivy Leaf"

AS was expected Mr.. w. II. Powers CON-
pany drew a crowded house to the Alcazar
Theater last night TO witness the revival Of
the faYOri,e Irish drama The Ivy Leaf"
This piece has always proved q successful
aud safe card to play in San Francisco, aud
at this season Of the year especially tie
interest the public take in performances OF
this nature will be thoroughly tested. 1t is
certainly a relief to get rest from the ex-
travagant melodram.c performances that
have occupied the boards of the theatcr
for some weeks. There are, however,
startling mechanical devices and strong
situations in "The Ivy Lear sufficient to
satisfy the most exacting lover of exciting
drama. Tie eagle will hy off with the
child N0Tine every night during the week
and the child will be a often rescued. The
leap from the tower, after the manner OF
Manuel in The Romance Of a Poor Young
Man" aud the execution scene are all incl
dents in this play. Darby Flynn, a fisher
man Is. Morton Kennedy, is capital rem
derng Of an old fisherman, true to his
brOgue and true to his supeTstitiOus in
stincts; while w. II. Power Jr. sings a
very good Irish song. full Of the pathetic
melody Of the green isle.
