SOME NOVELTIES.
Given at the Auditorium
Symphony Concert.
Interesting Compositions That Were
New to San FraDcisco-Omphale's
Spinning Wheel.

Several interesting compositions, new
to San Francisco, were performed at the
sixth symphony COD cert in the Auditorium
yesterday evening. Considerable applause
greeted most of the numbers, and in sew
eral Instances encores were insisted upon
Heinrich Hoffmsn's "Frithjof." SYM
phony. which is based on Scandinavian
myth, showed in the orchestration and the
treatment OF the themes great admir- alton
for Wagner. The work was always inter-
esting. though it was of the kind that
would be more so on a second hearing.
"Ingeborg's Lament" was an effective and
besutiful part of the symphony. At the
con clusion of the almost military music of
''FriIhjof's Return" there was a demand
for an encore, which, however. was not
given.
In addition to the Hoffman work the
first part of the programme consisted of
the overture to Schuberts "ROsamunde." 4"
Charles Dierke. the soioist in a Weber
LisZt OiauOforte concerto. has been with
Scheel ever since the Vienna Prater or
chestra came here, and was heard several
times last season at Metropolitan TEN ple
as an accompanist. Last night was his
San Francisco debut as a sooist. however.
and he scored marked success. Indeed,
il was only after repeated recalls that he
succeeded in convincing the audience that
he intended 10 resist giving an encore.
A couple of numbers from a suite for
strings by Professor r. FL. Lucchesi caught
on Immediately with the hearers. The
"Elegia" was charming little theme,
very daintily elaborated, and the mo
mento musicale" which was an odd,
characteristic number. was warmly en-
cored.
Camille Saint-Saens' lie Rouet dom
phale," which was produced last night,
will no doubt soon become as popular a
the auditorium a. is his "Danse Macabee."
The spinning wheel of the fascinating
Omphale is heard through most of the
composition, with occasionally the louder
struggles of Hercules trying TO resist the
charm of the fair spinstress. The motive
of the symphonic poem was simple
enough, but, like most OF Saint-SaeDs' or
chestral work, lie Rouet d'Omphae" was
highly effective.
On Monday grand charity concert will
be given under the auspices of the French
National League for the benefit of the
French Library. The occasion will be
made French composers night.

The concern is of comparatively recent

career. Its working capital was never
very great, but it had a good board of
directors. and for its president owned that

ALL ABOUT FRUIT.
The State Horticultural
Society Meets.
The Old Board of Officers Is Re.
Elected for the Ensuing
Year.

The regular monthly meeting OF the
California State Horticultural Society was
held at its rooms on Suttsr street yesrer-
day afternoon.
The first business transacted by the
society was the election of officers. 1t ap-
peared that the old board had served the
organization to the satisfaction OF all the
members and they we're all reelected
with the exec ceptiou of the board of ,direc-
tors. The officers are now as follows:
Professor Z. ". Hilgard, honorary rresi-
dent; B. NJ. Lelong. president; Leonard
Coates of Napa, vice-president; A. L.
Perkins of Alameda, treasurer; E. j.
Wickson of Berkeley. secretary; direc-
tors-Messrs. Allen, Stabbler. Overa,
Mash and Coates.
The rest of the time was consumed in
the discussion of "How to extend the con-
sumption of California fruit"
G. Ii. Allen had his eye on the Eastern
markets. He said that there was plenty
of room there for California fruit, pr0vld-
ing that it was made known that the
coast was producing it. He thought it an
State fairs in the Eastern States samples
of the best varieties. When he was a the
Worlds Fair with display Mr.. Allen
stated that he was interviewed bv hun
dreds of people as to how they could get
California fruit. I'VE have got TO show
our goods,' said the speaker, "if we ex-
pect people to buy them, and the quicker
we do it the better it will be for US.
Leonard Coates read communication
from friend in Engl and stating that there
was q ready market for dried fruit in Lon
don. The writer stated that prunes and
apricots had already footnold in the mar
ket.
Mr.. Rowley said that some assert that
the low prices were due to the dull times,
but he thought that this statement was
fallacious. He claimed that the fault W as
in miserable packing by the growers. He
remarked that some of the fruit alreedy
sent East could not be sold at any price on
account of its poor condition. One way
of flisposing of fruit which he thought
was a very feasible one was the establish
ment of fruit headquarters in Chicago
and other great Eastern cities. He said
| that this was the method that was used to
dispose of fruit in London.
| Mr.. Ramsay declared that prunes should
| be boxed. 1t was a mistake that sacked
| fruits sell better.
| Mr.. Bancroft thought that more adyer-
| tislug should be done by the growers.
There are many WAYS to accom- plish this,
/ be declared. He mentioned a cookbook.
entitled 'How to Cook California Fruit. "
and in this pamphlet he thought there
| ought TO be large advertisement inser ed.
| stating where dried fruits could be had.
| Mr.. Rowley declared that it was useless
to attempt to ship green fruit to the old
! countries, but that dried fruit could De

Yesterday some more evidences was
taken in the matter OF the Fell-street

indictments will be found, the jury will
treat largely in its report of the defects
In the Law which prevented their so doing.
In face of the detailed statement and
opinion by Mr.. Barnes, recentv published,
and TIE fact that there are no penalties at
tached to the street laws. the jury fiuds it
unwise to iudict. but will point out the de-

Emma Brewer, aged II, wayward and
attractive to certain habitues of Howard
and Third streets. was arrested by Officer
Wells last night and taken to lhe new City
Hall Prison. She was booked for some
public Institution and will probably be
sent to the Magdalen Asylum.
Emma has been called in out Of the cold
world by police officers on several previous
occasions, and each time she has been set
at liberty on promise of better and more
decorous behavior. But her pledges have
proved more brittle than those Of the
average candidate. and therefore it is now
proposed by those interested in her future
welfare to place her beyond the reach of
the wiles of wicked men.
