A San Francisco audience will be
much more amused by the manner in
which the professor breaks down Mrs.
Brooklyn Bridges ceiling than it will
over the splendid merriment Of Sir Toby
Belch, Sir Andrew Aguecheek and NAL
volio. II is like the French audience,
which is infinitely more amused by wit
thar by humor.
But comedy is not held in great favor
here. The San Franciscans being the
most pleasure loving Of people, prefer
tragedy. A good, old fashioned, blood
spilling tragedy, where every one is
killed in the last act, is highly approved
Of. If Edwin Forrest were alive today,
he would count his most frantic admir-
ers in the city by the Golden Gate.
Tragedy as he must have understood
it-tragedy played with all the force Of
the lungs-tragedy where the murdered
victim and the despairing suicide took
half an hour to die and died acrobat
ically from the footlights to the door at
the back OF the stage-would meet with
the heartiest approval here. The ele-
ment in the theaters which loved and
worshiped Forrest and his energetic
methods is larger in San Francisco than
in most cities of It's size. 1t is not that
the audiences here do not contain in
dividual spectators Of the highest srtis-
tic insight and cultivation, it is that the
majority Of the audience is formed of
spectators whose taste in the drama is
very much on the same lines as the taste
In the drama Of the gods in the gallery.
The spectators Of insignificant education
and uncultivated taste are more numer-
Gus than the spectators of cultured mind
and trained powers of appreciation, and
the majority rules.-San Francisco Ar

The Story Of Baltimore Drummer and an
Innocent Chap.
The Baltimore and Ohio southwestern
train was pulling west from Belpre, on
the Ohio, when the Baltimore drummer
noticed an innocent looking chap in the
next seat just slowing away the frag-
ments of a plentiful lunch in paper bag
ready for the next meal. Nudging his
companion, he started in to have bit of
fun with the greenhorn.
Pretty rough country down this way,
amt it, siry' he asked politely of the
mild eyed lunch taker.
Eyes; West Virginny's got her ups

"WhichY'

where that Mary went tho lamb was
sure to go. That's the way with West
Virginia and her hills. Why, they tell
me that the hills are as steep as the side
of mansard roof"

asscnted the Virginian.

day that you couldn't pasture billy.

Yes, ] guess that's right" was the
unmoved reply.
"And heard last summer that man

and broke his arm. You don't think that

hardly keep his face straight.

One Of the most difficult things in life

Others as they see themselves To have

A Chapter on the Causes Of the Deple-

Owing chiefly to certain unusually

Bulletin. we have been and still are sub

stocks Of gold. Under the circumstance,

when their depositOrs have needed gold
for export, they have awaited themselves
of their lawful discretion to pay such
| checks in government paper rather than
in certificates representing their gold IN
| the Treasury. This sort of discrimina-
tory payment has been adopted in vary
ing degrees by different banks, but Its
result, as 4 whole, has been to bring
about the present depletion of the
Treasury stock of gold. There is no
