THE JUCH COMPANY.
Exciting Experiences at Sacramento Wher,
the Orchestra Struck Remarkably

Exciting Experiences at Sacramento Where
the Orchestra Struck Repeatedly.
SACRAMENTO. April 11.-There was more
music in the Metropolitan Theater here to-
night than Wagner ever dreamed could be
crowded between the lines of Tannhauser.
The Juch Opera Company arrived here this
evening one day behind. All the seats had
been sold for Saturday night, but only about
half were filled tonight when the curtain
went up. The performance was delayed
an hour because of strike by the orchestra.
Finally the local manager. by pleading and
swearing, got things started. but regularly
between acts the orchestra struck. There
were hotelmen, theatrical managers, print
ers, lawyers and others here on the COM
pany's trail from Los Angeles. and every
thing in the box-office was plastered foot
deep with attachments. Locke came up on
the late train and at once became the center
Of an excited group of clamoring creditors.
The performance went on by spells and
was not concluded till long after midnight
Que of the orchestra strikes occurred just
when Nine. Juch was clinging TO the cross
In the last act. The whole thing was full
Of sensations.

FRANCIS MURPHYS TALK.
The Temperance EvangelIsps Entertai
ing Address Last Night.

The Temperance EvangelIst's Entertain
ing Address Last Night.
1t is hard to say whether Ii was sermon,
lecture, an address or just ordinary plain
talk that dubbed from the lips of Francis
Murphy, the temperance evangelist. last
night. when he faced an immense audience
in tile Simpson Memorial Methodist Episco-
pal Church.
Few public speakers have the magnetism
of Mr.. Murphy. and the erratic manner in
which he rapidly plunges from pathos into
humor, from the sublime to the ridiculous,
and from laughter into tears is particularly
fascinating.
He started out to say that it is now 13
years since he was last in San Francisco,
and after paying complimentary tribute
to the climate. etc.. and calling California
the nearest place to heaven, he spoke OF his
early youth in Ireland.
Love, home-life and motherly care were
depicted in touching manner by the
speaker, and then he came to the time when
the trees ne had planted as boy had grown
tall and he had become man.
The cottage In which he lived looked out
upon the Atlantic ocean, and lie often
caught himself wishing he could cross that
big sheet OF water and come to America.
Defending the children and blaming tn Q
parents for much Of the wrong the former
are doing, the speaker again became remin-
iscent and spoke Of his boyhood DAYS
when he wore trousers that came up to
bis shoulders and had pockets way belo W
the knees" as he comicafiy described the
homemade garments his mother provided
for him in those days.
Then he went little into the fashionable
world Of to-day and its vanitIes, only to
suddenly carry his audience back into the
religious field and to appeal to the men To
lock more to the welfare of their own
homes than to the doings in the houses Of
legislation.
OF course, the liquor question and It's
many dark sides came 10 for a considerable
share OF attention. Stories were told by
