AMONG TILE THEATRES.
Edwin Stevens, the New
Wang. a Scholarly and
Gentlemanly Com
edian.
HIS FIRST APPEARANCE HERE,
Rice's Surprise Party in 1892
Fleming's New Venture
AT koss's.

Wang" that merriest. most gorgeous
and probably most successful of all the
comic operas of recent years, comes to
the Academy of Music next week and
brings with it one of the most estimable
comedians of the American stage In the
person of Edwin Stevens. Mr.. Stevens
attained note some years ago by his work
in comic opera with Francis Wilson at
the New York Casino. Last season he
was the leading comedian with Froh-
mans 'Gloriana"' Company, and there
proved his versatility. attaining equal
success in drama as in opera. Unlike the
majority of comic opera comedians, he
can sing, and, equally unlike that major
ity, he is lot q buffoon.
A San Franciscan by birth, from the
night of his LrSt appearance in New
York, when he created the leading role
in Said Pasha,n the refinement and
legitimate character of his comedy were
recognized.
Stevens is one of the anomalies of
comedy. In the first place, he is a univer-
s1ty graduate, a credential possessed by
few on the stage, and by comedians most
~infrequentIy of any. Mr.. Stevens was
graduated from the University of Cali
fornia in the class of rs. He afterward
took q postgraduate course and became a
mining engineer. Burned u by the
Indians while superintendent of an Ari-
iona mine, he landed in San Francisco
practically without a dollar. No mining
position seemed to be open on the entire
Pacific coast. An opera company needed
a baritone. Stevens's voice was favorably
known in San Francisco, and the position
with a tempting salary was offered him.
He put the matter plainly to his. wife.
I'VE have a certain social position
here" he said. If | go on the stage we
will lose all that"
Very well, Ed" was the reply. ''If
n loses his social standing by earning an
honest living the sooner we find it out the
better"
And that was how Stevens adopted the
stage. He was never stage struck. He
went into it for business purposes and
has ever since conducted it on business
principles This has not prevented an
earnestness seldom shown in his art. Nor
has his adoption of the stage lost him
that part of social standing whichais best
worth keeping. This is due to the fact
that on the stage he remains q gentleman
and a student. He is satisfied with the
roarS OF laughter he causes when facing
the audience He does not feel it neces-
sary that his every remark off the stage
should be funny" Nor has he gained
his hosts of personal friends by the NV
dear boyo business. His quiet good
fellowship and friendship go far deeper.
Jersey City has a genuine treat in pros
pect in the appearance of snch a comedian
in "Wang.n

machinery used is the same as that

In the operation of washing the dirt
it is lifted irto great pan, where by
constant stirring it is worked into a
soft mud. 1t is then passed into
cylinder with a spiral motion and holes
of different Sizes The smallest peb-
bles pass through the first aperture,
the next in size through the second and
so on until all have been dropped into
the sleeves. The stones are then passed
TO a sorter who spreads them out on a
table and looks for the diamonds. The
exhibit is one of great interest, in that
the entire process of getting diamonds
is shown. First, there are shown pic
lures of the mines and the methods of
getting out the ''blue earth" or dia-
mondiferous soil. Then begins the
practical part of the show. The ma
chimes for disintegrating the rock and
dirt, washing it and getting the dirt
away from the stones are shown.
The big machines are run by Zulus, who
are brought from the mines for the pur-
pose of demonstrating the workings.
These savages are dressed in short
trousers only. They refuse to wear
anything else, and under these they
have their native trousers, if such they
can be called.
The method of cleaving the diamonds
to prepare them for cutting is shown by
skilled workmen, and then the dia-
monds are polished after being cut. All
the processes are carried on in full
view of the audience, for whose es-
pecial benefit elevated platforms have
been erected about the machinery.
Thus the production of diamonds from
the mining of the blue earth in which
the native gems lie imbedded to the last
touch given the polished crystal, will be
shown.

ly on guard over the exhibit are in
themselves something wonderful to be-

When Franklin sent his kite aloft and
drew lightning from the clouds and
Morse harnessed it and made it obedient
to the commands of man they doubt
less had no idea of the mischief they
were making for succeeding genera

ton comes in, for had natures greatest
force not been captured by these esti-
nable gentlemen it is doubtful if fric-

nature makes the only genuine light

referred to as fluid, but as 'force."
Manufactures hall and Electricity build

this subtle force is turned out in guam
titles to suit, and in both of these great
buildings it is used for a multiplicity of
purposes. Transmitted from dynamo
to motor it furnishes motive power
to run machinery of all imaginable
kinds, and taken direct from the ma

filaments in the electric light bulbs up
to the incandescent point and makes

The best method, if you wear an ex'

An electrical expert was asked the
other day as to the probable number OF
watches which had been ruined in the
exposition grounds by being brought
into close proximity to active dynamos

one million dollars. The clay that is
to be worked is put up in strong sacks
and is as jealousy guarded as any
other portion of the exhibit.
This is indeed wonderful sight and
one that will draw to the Mining
building great many people who
have read all about the production of
diamonds but have never had an oppor-
tunity of witnessing the operation.

HUNTING FOR DIAMONDS.

it seems strange that so much loose
wealth does not attract more attention
than it does.
In the Montana section of the Mining

paused before the silver statue of JUS

tars on a pedestal of gold worth two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and
after looking it over for few moments
the woman said;

Several of the mining states of the
west have made extensive and elabo-

in some cases the displays of agates
and crystals are extremely beautiful
and artistic. The facade of the Cali

onyx and is exceptionally fine The
stone and marble exhibits of some of
the states are also entitled by their
beauty to more than casual glance.
But the center of attraction just now
is tie diamond exhibit of the Kimberly

JAPAN'S FINE ART.
Oriental Paintings That Were Recently
Opened to the Public.


Opened to the Public.
The opening of the japanese exhibit
in the Palace of Fine Arts few days
ago drew great many people, who
went away delighted as well as aston
ished at what they saw.
The entrance to the exhibit is guarded
on one side by great bronze eagle, on
the other by a bronze cast of protect
ing deity. A bas-relief of dragons in
clouds, done in bronze, stands Just be-
yond, and near by is representation
of the Kasalla pagoda, an exquisite
piece of carving. At the entrance
hangs magnificent tapestry of silken
chrysanthemums, and a painting of
carps by Tukok, greatest of Japanese
artists.
just beyond the sill1en hangings of
the entrance is huge gorilla carved in
cherry wood Cases containing carv-
ings in ivory and wood of favorite
deities and heroes occupy the center of
the room. while the walls are hung
with tapestry and paintings on silk or
paper
The most noticeable pictures are
those of the sacred mountain Fuji-san,
one being of the top yelled in mist, and
the other in cloisonne work of the mist
clearing away.
A magnificent bronze is that of a
stump with a rooster perched upon it,
while on the ground beside it is the old
hen with her brood. The long tail
feathers in bronze are supple enough tc
have been tran sferred from the livins
to the bronze fowl.
The entire exhibition is a revelation
in Japanese art.
