Not long ago, Queen Victoria
wished to make up a marriage be-
tween lady and gentleman of her
court. The former proved rebel to
the royal advice, quoting St Paul's
famous words: "He who marrIes
doeth well; but he who does not
marry doeth still better" 'My

in doing we'll; let those who can do
better"

for To-Day.


for To-Day.
There was an enthusiastic attendance at
StockwelPs Theater on Powell street last
night to witness the opening performance
OF 1.-The Great Strike by professionals for
the benefit of the Ladies' Auxiliary of the
American Railway Union.
Great curiosity had been expressed as to
how the subject would be treated. and an
ticipation was well satisfied. The stirring
stically brought out by a strong cast. and
interest never tagged from start to finish.
The audience followed the progress of the
struggle between labor and capital with
close attention and frequently interrupted
with applause.
To-day the performance will be repeated
at matinee at P. NJ. and in the evening.
The play has been arranged with great
care in order TO assist many destitute fam
lilies in this city. Out of about 900 men
who were engaged 10 the recent
strike only about 100 got back TO
work. According to the recent pro-
nunciamento of railroad official
the remainder have very poor chance Of
returning to work for the company. In
the meantime their families are practically
destitute, and many kind-hearted people
are rallying TO their assistance.
This charitable purpose can be pleas
antly effected by attending the perform
ance Of "The Great Strike" to-day lat the
matinee or evening performance) and
during the week at StOckwelnS Theater.
A capital performance is guaranteed by
the promoters, while patrons and PATRON
esses are assured that the proceeds will be
directly applied TO relieve innocent desti-

BERRY is BORED.

He Has Only Thirteen to Give and
They Are Promis Walter K.
Smith Gets the First.

When the cool days of September come
Campbell P. Berry, Assistant United
States Treasurer, will take out his official
ak and lop off the heads of the men that
Colonel Jackson left behind. Mr.. Berry
would not wait until September TO decapi-
tate his Republican assistants, for he is an
energetic man who loves to do his party's
bidding. but under the circumstances he
can't help himself.
United States Treasurer Morgan apd his
assistants are still counting the money in
the vaults on Commercial street, and will
not be through with the job until the end
of August. Mr.. Berry does not believe in
swapping horses while crossing a stream,
or in swapping clerks while counting the
cash of which he is the custodian.
Mr.. Berry has given away one office,
clerkship that was vacant when he took
charge. Walter K. Smith of Alameda,
but formerly of this city. received the
berth, which is worth S1400 a year. Smith
was at one time employed in the County
Clerks office. Thirteen places remain.
Il have 500 applications for positions in
this Office" said the assistant treasurer
yesterday. GOOD, bad and Indifferent
men. Some are old acQuaintances and
some are political hacks. l will make no
appointments until September. and l
think | know who will get the Offices"
Mr.. Berry wants new building instead
of the dismal structure on Commercial
street that stands where the Mint stood in
the days Of gold. He needs more room,
and will be grateful to any and every
member Of Congress who tries to obtain
it for him. There are twenty-five million
dollars in that cellar on Commercial street,
and they leave little room in the vault for
gold and paper. Mr., Berry thinks the
buildings should be extended TO Mont
gomery street and he would then have all
the space he requires.
Soon after the examiners depart Mr..
Berry will send 100000 in greenbacks 10
Washington. He wants the space it occu-
pies, and no one here wants the green
backs. The silver certificate is also re-
jected with contempt In many instances
where the paper certificate has been paid
cut the receiver has taken IL to the change
desk and obtained gold Or silver in its
place. The certificates on hand will travel
