"NAAMAN." L"
Concert for the Benefit of the
Building Fund.


Martin Schultz undertook no light task
when he drilled $50 voices and an or
chestra in Sir Michael Costa's oratorio of
"Naaman," which was given last evening
in Odd Fellows Hall for the benefit of the
building fund of the Midwinter Fair.
The work is one Of acknowledged diff

used to working together and to their
conductor. There were moments last
evening when all the efforts of Martin
SchutZ's baton failed to keep the band
some parts of the chorus from getting
ahead of others. But although the per-
formance was an unequal one-some parts
showing distinctly good work and others
being somewhat sbaky-it was, as whole,
extremely creditable to conductor and per-
formers alike. considering the newness of
the organization, and the difficult dramatic

selected as the day for the Italian celebra-
tion. All Italian Americans on the Pacific
Coast will be asked to participate, and iG
is expected that between 10000 and 10000
people will be present on that date. Baron
Fava, Italian ambassador at Washington,
mas also been specially invited to come
hither on June 2, and the auxiliary COM
mittee has reason 10 believe that the in
vitation will be accepted. A design was
adopted for an arch to be placed at the en-

then the displays will be crowded. Re-
greet Is expressed by many that the olg
structures were not made even larger.
When Professor Emory E. Smith was
appointed chief of the department OF agrl-
culture and horticulture. he was told tnat

ing, and all this additional space Will De

The annex will be 200 feet long ana 4O
wide. providing 5000 additional square feet.
There is even talk among the 1rult-
growers OF encroaching upon the lO.OO0
square ieet reserved for the vitlcultural
display. The differences between the
growers and the wine-Geaiers on the Ques-
tion of making a com bined display have
not been arranged. The dealers are pre-
pared TO occupy the entire space win
their bottles and casks. solution OF the
di fficulty has been suggested by which the
growers, backed by the State Vltlcultural
Society with it's $1,000 appropriation,
should occupy the space reserved, and the
dealers construct a cellar outside the
Agricultural building, for cumulative
exhibit of casks and bottles. An original
display could be made on the practical
lines suggested by the Colorado gold
mine.
ALI the counties are in line with de-
mands for space. Two representatives OF
San Luis Obispo County were at head
quarters last night and secured 300 square
feet for a display of natural products:
The exhibit will comprise the beans and
walnuts for which the county Is famous.

culture, his Judgment, his discrimination.
He was at home on any subject, wherever
discussed, and be seized upon any propo-
sition with almost divine inspiration and
passed upon 1t with wonderful correctness
and celerity. No ltigaDt ever had just
cause that he did not find in Judge Hoff-
man his best friend. For forty years as a
Judge no human being had ever assailed
his honesty or his purity.
The peroration of the speaker was a
wonderful burst of eioquence. and as he
told of Judge Hoffman's closing days there
was many strong man whose eyes were
moist with tears.
United States Attorney Garter followed
briefly on behalf of the Government. and
then Judge Morrow, in answer to the mo-
tion made. said: "The record of the dis
tinguished judicial services rendered by
Judge Hoffman during the forty years he
presided In this court has become part of
the history of the country. The high
character of such services justify all that
has been said in their praise by the gen tie
men WHO have just spoken. Judge H0ff-
man was, indeed. in many respects a re-
markable man. He possessed rare judi
cial qualities. for while his perceptions
were quick and clear, the operations of his
mind were so true and logical that be ar
rived at sound and discriminating judg-
ment without apparent labor.
Truth, it has been said, is a fortified
stronghold to be reached by patient and
laborious siege. Judge Hoffman's method
of reaching judicial truth was rather that
of the direct and brilliant assault. If be
tedious detail it was because the result
was equally certain and satisfactory.
His opinions were always couched in
apt and felicitous language, and his in-
structi0ns to juries models of clear and
accurate statement. Lis wit penetrated
and exposed all shallow pretense. and was
undoubtedly an effective quality of his
judicial character. he was honest and
above reproach. and has left name that
VIII be respected as long as judicial wis.,
dom and integrity have place in our his
tory.
''In all the qualities have mentioned
Judge Hoffman built his own monument
ln the reports and records of this court,
but it required the genius of the artist to
preserve for us and for those who shall
come after us the form and expression of
feature that make US know and under
stand something of the living man.
This tribute to the memory of Judge
esteem ourselves fortunate that generous
and loving friend has adopted this method
of testifyiDg his regard for one whose
name will always be honored in this court.
Human effort is always stimulated by the
achievement of conspicuous character.

the genius of an artist have unQuestiona-
bly, made the world better by preserving
the individuality of those who have per-
formed with credit whatever honorable
part they have assumed in the aft airs of
the world. This portrait will therefore be
accepted and retained in accordance with
the wish CT the donor. and the following

The order, stripped of technicaltes. was
that the portrait of the deceased Judge
should hang upon the walls of the court

Much anxiety was felt last year for tho
safety OF pedestrians in front OF the

being placed at each end OF the Grand
Stand making on enclosure into which
