SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. %, 1898.
The crowds who thronged the theater
at which Irving and Terry played for sew
eral weeks was but well-merited re-
ward for the years that theee two ia
NOUS stars have devoted to the stage,
but the vast throngs they faced were no
larger than than those that thronged
to see the new star who has risen upon
the theatrical horizon within the past
few weeks.
Last Monday evening the vicinity Of
Eddy and Jones streets was packed with
yelling, surging mass of humanity,
making their way as best they could un-
der the circumstances to the entrance of
the National theater, located at thia
place. The rich and the poor, the old
and the young struggled to the point of
entrance as il their lives depended upon
their getting there, and the object of one
and all was to see little 6year-old
girl take the leading role in highly
sensational so-cslled drama. 1t is no
exaggeration to say that thousands were
turned away long after the the theater
had been packed. HH
ovation than did the little country girl
Eva Evans, as she appeared before the
footlights, and in justice to the girl it is
but mete to say that she was remarka-
bly, cool and collected during the entire
time she was upon the stage, and her
acting was all that could possibly be ex-
pected from one go new to the profess
sion. Ii Miss Eva continues to be the
attraction that she has been during the
week her outlaw father will not need
for funds in the defense of his liberty.

The popular and witty Colonel Walter
S. Moore, who is known in every part of
the state as an able politician and bril-
liant after-dinner speaker, was in the
city few days since, and the familiar
way the Colonel was addressed by so
many people would lead stranger to
believe this was the home of the Re-
publican leader of Los Angeles.
While the colonel met all his friends
cordially it was noticeable that he was
very dignifed and sedate, and though
he received numerous invitations to
join his old.tme friends in their Bohe-
rnian gatherings he gracefully declined.
and when he left the city he was accom-
panied to the Oakland mole by a few
staunch friends who tried in vain to
fathom this change in the colonePs man
ner. Since he has left, his friends of
old say with sigh, swell, guees
Walter has quit u.s.

r. P. Troy, secretary of the Demo-
cratic state central committee, received
an appointment to a minor position in
the upper house of congress some time
since, and left for Washington in COM
pany with the congressional delegation.
What Mr.. Troy thinks of himself would
fill many a large volume, but this opin-
ion is shared by no one else. A gentle-
man who has lately returned from the
national capital gave me the following
illustration of Troy's corceit. When
the delegation arrived in Washington
they at ouce repaired to the Ebbit
house and registered their names, giving
their residences as California, but not go
with the senate attache who accom-
panied them. In large letters he wrote
upon the register, "R. P. Troy, United
States senate"

Martin w. Brady, while on his re-
cent eastern trip, was more modest, ar
riving at one of the swellest hotels of
Chicago, he scanned the register before
afixing his name, etc., and IN looking
down the page he saw the names of
many notablss, the last being that of a
foreign count, who wrote land valet"
after his name. When the Californian
had finished registering, the following
adorned the book IN. W. Brady and
valise, San Francisco"

Harry johnson of the Southern Pa
cific law department is sustaining his
reputation as q popular fellow up here.
He returned home few days since, and
Col. Walter S. Moore, who was passen-
gen on the same train, recognizing Har-
ry's ability as custodian, entrusted
him the care of the thoroughbred inn
ported fox-terrier, Barney F., which he
had received as a gift from foreign
diplomat. now at the Palace, on his way
to Washington.
