ANGRY MUSICIANS.
An Article to Which They
Object.
II Was Printed in the Chronicle After
They Had Signally Favored
Its Proprietor.

About month age the local branch OF
the Musicians Mutual Protective Union
was the recipient OF a note from Mrs NJ III.
de Young, a member of the Lady Patron
esses of the Polytechnic Association. asking
for the free services of an orchestra at the
approaching performance Of the opera his
Majesty"
The musicians were only too glad to COM
ply with the request. and forthwith re-
turned a courteous answer to Mrs. de
Youngs letter, offering the free services of
full orchestra for the occasion.
Last Sunday the Chronicle appeared with
a long burlesque on the musicians. their
club life, and incidentally their morals and
manners.
The article was illustrated by cuts, which.
to the union members, are considered highly
Objectionable.
Now when the objects of this ridicule
happened to be the very men who had but a
short time before put themselves out TO a
considerable extent IN order to crafty the
wish Of the lady whose husband controls
the paper referred to, and who is supposed
to be responsible for everything that goes
into It. there seemed 70 be either case OF
mOnstrous ingratitude or else very big

Card playing for money is doubtless con-
sidered by some moralists to be an I'M
moral game, but If the Musicians Union is
the only club in the city where that prsc-
tice is INDUCED in by the members it Is not
generally known as such.
The musicians are very much exercised
over the Chronicle article. and the fore
going information on the subject Is from

PugiIist Peter Jackson in the Role @
Uncle Tom.

Uncle Tom.
Peter Jackson made his second public
appearance as Uncle Tom at the Macdon-
ough Theater, Oakland, last night, where
he will play bis part the remainder Of the
week. making his bow to San Francisco
audience at Stockwell's Theater on Monday.
The colored pugilist has made what may
be called a ten-strike in the dramatic art.
Nick Long has so carefully coached him
that the hardened critic finds it very diff
cult to pick any flaws in Peter Jackson's
makeup, stage action, gesture. voice. read
ing or Interpretation Of the character
created by Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe.
The simple truth is that Peter Is an ideal
Uncle Tom. His massive frame helps the
Illusion. He needs but little makeup. The
addition Of frost-btten eyebrows and snowy
Pierpont whskers impaTt an evangelical
look to his black face which accounts salts
factOrily for Eya's sentimental regard for
the old slave.
The audience last night applauded Pete
in a sincere spirit. He deserved il. for he
never for one moment exhibited any con-
sciousness of their existence. One thing in
his favor was that he had strong support.
Such veterans as l.. l.. Stockwell, Grorge

land were wonderful help. Then pretty
little George Cooper, with her sweet voice
and winsome ways, had much to do with
his success. The play as produced is not on
the broad lines of buffoonery which have
marked its revival of late years. There is
a return to its original simple pathos. sea-
soned with sufficient bCrlesque and planta-
ton song and dance to sustain the interest
in the plot.
Pete jackson was interviewed behind The
scenes. He had a rake in his hand at the
time. The pugiist-actor com planned that
the rake was too long, and he asked the
property man to cut 1t down foot or two
so as to enable him to hobble with it more
artistically from the cotton field Pete said
be had not suffered in any degree from stage
fright. He already felt perfectly at home
before the footlights His dramatic engage
meut was only for four months. He would
make no arrangements In his theatrical
business which would interfere with his
meeting with Corbett whenever the cham
plon was ready to encounter him in the
ring. As between the stage and the prize
ring Pete said he had no particular choice.
It was all a matter of business. He had to
make living and Ole way was as good as

s''''' ''''''''''''''''''''' and was listened to
with interest by the mIningmen present.
Curtis testified that he had been the
agent of Brown and Fox in representing
Steele at Virginia City; that Brown was
man of great wealth. a prominent broker
In San Francisco. and that Fox was an in
dustrious man with limited capital and
knew the ms and outs of making stock
deals; that he Curtis believed these rep
reservations, and that he induced Steele to
enter into the contract OF transfer in good
faith. He further testified that he had
been the superintendent OF the C0nsOlI-
dated Virginia at the time of the develop
ment OF the bonanza mines. and that from
his study Of the ground he believed that
there would be found in 1t bodies OF valu-
able ore; that owing 10 the contiguity of
the location to the bOnanZas IL there should
be found ledge west Of the west wall Of
the Comstock the property would be worth
many millions of dollars, and would justify
extended excavation.
After Brown and Fox got their contract
the witness said working capital was sold,
and explorations were commenced under
Curtis superintendency, he being partner
In the venture. From the work done in
sinking the shaft he became convinced that
the property of the West Consolidated
Virginia was of immense value, and IN
formed Brown and Fox and Steele. and all
other shareholders of the fact.
In his judgment. and from study Of the
mine, there was a ledge west OF the So
called ComstOck ledge, and it would be
found TO contain valuable ore for subse-
Quent developments made in running the
drift through the ground at point $50 feet
deep from the surface demonstrated the
correctness of his opinion. At this depth
samples of ore had been found and shown
him by Fox. Subsequently the witness had
been 10 the drift and had seen the wonder
full ledge and its formation.
Curtis next testified that Fox and Brown
had made the same representations to him
that they had made TO Steele. and induced
him TO transfer his stock to get the great fnan-
cial aid which was to develop the mine. Fox
