men, who had come here to stay and to
make the best of the opportunities afforded
them IN new country, situated fer away
from their early homes.
1t is pleasant thing to hear the pioneers
talk of the hardshipS OF those early days,
which, it has been justly said, tried mems
souls" and proved of what metal they were
made. Around the tireSldes OF the older
residents of California the hazardous I'M
dertakings ade necessary by an imperfect
discourse. reverently listened to by the
rising generation and the newcomers to the
coast.
The men who braved the dangers of the
plains and the resultant hardshlps OF the
rough and ready inconvenience OF the
average mining camp are certainly deserv-
ing of the consideration OF the voters in any
city such as San Francisco, which Is prac.
tical monument to their industry. thrift and
energy. which no time or political party can
effectualy efface.
Mr. Charles Greene, the nomiuee of the
Republican party for Superintendent OF
Streets was one Of the men who formed
that fearless band Of prOspectors. who, like
Columbus, knew that there were great
lands yet to be discovered and who was
not afraid to stake his all on the venture of
exploration. There were no steamboats, to
carry him from Kansas to California, so he
took the only available means and started
across the plains behind a six-Voke team OF
oxen which, after nnumerable hardships
he succeeded in landing at Pixies Peak,
Denver. There he disposed Of the useful
oxen and secured six mules, which he
drove to Salt Lake City. In the land OF the
Mormons he tarred while and recuper-
ated his strength. after which he directed
his course to Virginia City. New, where
for six months be endeavored as a miner to
locate the treasure which undoubtedly lay
hidden under the surface of the earth.
During the pilgrimage OF Mr.. Greene and
his party across the desert or plains there
were many thrilling experiences, which
would form plot for authors OF blood and
thunder stories. Often was he aud his
friends surrounded by thousands of Indians
of the Comanche and Arapahoe tribes and
frequently they were compelled to make an
ambuseade of their train wagons, prepared
with pistol and gun to repel the attacks or
the wild red men. The herds OF buffaloes,
which then had certain rights on the plains
by reason of their great numbers also i'm
peded the way OF the travellers, who were
glad ''to let them take the road"
Mr.. Greene has been in business here for
thirty years and stands high in the mer-
camille community, but he recalls the men,
DRY of those early days with an appreeia-
tion Of only one who has participated in a
great work, which has served TO open up
great country which is now the envy of the
rest of the world.

turers of the famous HICKS 81 Lambert

tive member. has never been known 10 re-

The coal train, which had been ordered to
wait at West Falls until the express passed.
The trains came together on a curve with
an awful crash. The smokin gear tel
escoped with the passenger coach fully half
its length. The baggage-car was smashed
to pieces and thrown in heap with the
broken-up engines. 1t caught fire and wac
soon burned UP. The passengers in the
rear coach and the Pullman car, which re-
manned on the track, escaped with a severe
shaking up. The engineer and fireman of
the coal train jumped and escaped with
slight bruises. but the unfortunate men on
the express engine had no time and were
buried in the ruins.

sent in several directions for medical aid,
and IN q short time a staff of physicians

"Der Tolle Wenzel."

The title-role in this faree-comedy played
by Hitzigrath's company of German come
dams on Sunday last is not the leading one.
In fact, the piece Is loosely put together,
and lacks originality A farce-comedy has
only one chance OF success-the principal
roles must be in the hands Of leading artists,
clever enough to carry the auditory with
them, with unquestioning confidence in their
ability.
Carl Witt. in playing the tle-role. which
Is not the commodore's part, proved him
self clever. agreeable bon vivant, but
people expect TO laugh while their favorite
comedian is on the stage. Herr Witt would
have contributed much more largely to the
success of the piece than he did had he
assumed instead the part assigned to Herr
Ad0iph Seelig, who. although promising
young actor. is not strong enough to sustain
an important Characterization.
In playing RegistratOr WenZel he created
a doubt in the minds of the audience by his
uncertain manner as TO whether his purpose
was to present him a young man or an old
one. The RegistratOr demands sharper
ana deeper lines than Herr Seelig appears
to be able to draw. Rudolph Horsky, Carl
Sleek and Benno Hirsch answered the de-
mands of their respective parts fully.
The star of the night was, however. Mar
garette Albrecht in the role Of Erua.
Young, lovely and talented this soubrette
has not had so good an opportunity this
season to display her acting accomplish
ments as in "Der Tolle WenzeI." She
awaited herself Of 1t brilliantly. The scene
with Geheimrath Frosh, where, in the dis
guse of French school-madame, she
succeeds in gaining admission to the home
of her narrow-mlnded and penurious uncle,
was greeted with rounds of applause.
Miss Emma Griebe was handicapped with
a part that did not suit her. and appeared at
disadvantage. More judgment ought TO
be shown by ths manager in casting his
pieces.
Miss Lena Bergen was successful as the
rustic fiower-girI. The piece was staged
nicely, and the auditorium was better filled
than at any previous performance.

ARRIVAL OF THE REWBERN.
The Mexican Steamer Brings Up a Larg,
Amount of Fruit.

II
The steamer Newbern, Captain Won
Helms. arrived last night two days late
from Guaymas. The delay was caused by
the steamer being detained at that port TO
pat on a load of fruit. She brings up over
5000 boxes, which is one of the largest
caTgoes she ever carried. The run up .he
coast was smooth and the weather fine all
the way. At Mazatlan the United States
cruisers Yorktown, Baltimore, Charleston
and Boston were in the harbor preparing
for the Columbus celebration, which was
the cause Of great enthusiasm all along the
Mexican coast.
