Frank Coffin,s Concert.

The concert given in the Christian
Church. on Twelfth street, under the direc
ton of Frank Coffin last night, proved on
the whole an artistic success.
Mr. Coffin himself sang Tosti's "My
Dreams" with great expression. PrOfes-
sor Adelstein played Forbidden Music
as a mandolin solo, with delicate shading
and great command over his instrument,
and L. Parents bass solo ~as well sung.
The Plymouth male quartet were above
the average of such organiza tiOns, and
Miss Helen Kelleher's recitatons were
good. ii. LarsOn's violin solo was not
artist;cally played, the high notes being
fat.
The contraltO soloist. Miss Maud Bune-
man, had not a powerful voice, hut her
notes were we'll placed, and not marred by
the ventrilOquisms which make so many
sO-called contraltos penance to long
suffering audiences

A STRANGE POTPOURRI.
The Vienna Prater Orchestra Gave
One That Excited the Audience.

1t was a grand pOtpourri and waltz
night yesterday evening at the Vienna
Prater, and Franz Joseph Hall was
packed with an audience eager to hear the
strains of Strauss and Waldteufel
The performances that delighted the
hearers most and excited their unbounded
applause was "The Magic Lantern" by
Ernst Scberz, as curious and Ingenious a
'potpourri' as the most fantastic imag-
ination could dream of. 1t consisted of a
few bars of several dozen well-knOwn airs,
the rapid transitions between which were
remarkably smooth and clever. The ka-
leidOscOpic effect of the whole was almost
sufficient to give The hearers the vertigo,
though they eviden enjoyed the sensa-
ton of trying to keep pace with the
changes.
That's Chopiu's Funeral March,"
But before the words had passed the
speakers lips, the music had changed in to
the Carnival of Venice" "Ah! Santa

rapidly into a modern waltz. And so
through ON through several dozen transi-
tiOns.
1T was fine," the audience exclaimed
one TO another at he end. as they
breathed freely again. just like people
who have been rushing down tobOggan

nerves. which had been strung to the
highest pitch 10 trying TO recognize the
airs, being relaxed, they applaudeQ to have

A number Of waliZes were played de-
lightfnlly during the evening and another
very interesting po pourri was one COM

Los ANGELES. March 20.-S0mething
over 200 OF the unemployed arrived on the

this city by the gathering of the Industrial

The army did no work on the streets
this morning. 1t was waiting for some

Chief of Police Glass having instructed
his subordinates to prevent the organiza-

the time for decisive action had come.
Chief Glass. however. averted a collision
between his men and the unemployed
horde by inducing Division Superintend-
eut Muir of the Southern Pacific to give
the men TRANSPORTATION nortbward.
Chief Glass argued that inasmuch as
the Southern Pacific had brought the
crowd in TO the city it should take them
out again. Consequently the 200 men left
town on freight train bound north.

At 1:15 this morning an alarm was
turned in from box 63 for fire which
broke out In the rear Of the La Pierre
House. corner of Fourth and Perry streets.
The building i S mum bered from AIT to

second and third floors and kept by c.
Pierce.
Nos. All and 419 on the ground floor
was occupied as saioon by Richard
Blaseley. No. 421 was a bakery and res
tauraat.
The flames passed from the lodging
house to the two-story frame building 423
Fourth street, occupied as a moldng fac
tory.
From the molding factory the flames
communicated to 425 Fourth street, oc-
eupied as plumbing establishment by ].

Murphy as a restaurant.
All the buildings belonged to the estate
of the late S. c. Hastings and are said to
be uninsured, as it is the policy of the
estate not to insure any property.
There were twenty-six dodgers sleeping
in the La Pierre House when the fire
broke out. Most of them were aroused by
breathing the suffocating smoke that
rolled in dense volumes through the halls
and into the rooms.
In three cases the police and fremen
rescued hslf-smothered dodgers. 1t was
reported that there was a little child.
named Mabel Shaw. left in room 16 of the
iodging-house, and that young man had
been left In room Is.
With great difficulty the firemeu made
their way to these rooms. only to find that
they were vacant.
A Mrs. MrElroy, also lodger in the l.
Pierre House, crept down the stairs and
was struck hy falling plaster, which pro-
duced slight injuries. She was taken TO
the Receiving HOSPITAL
Mrs. McElroy was aroused by the
smoke, and IN the darkness was unable TO
find her way TO the stairs, so she got d gn
on her hands and knees and felt her way
until she reached the stairs, and it was as
she was descending that the plaster fell
on her.
Fifteen minutes after the first alarm was
sounded a second one was sent in. and nv
the time the additional apparatus arrived
the buildings were enveloped in flame and
smoke.
Windows were smashed right and left.
and in few moments the blazing struc-
lures were flooded with water from many
sire ans.
At half-pe st O'Clock the fire was still
burning, but was under control.
II is impossible owing to the lateness of
the hour and the excited condition of the
occupants to give an accurate account of
the losses sustained. but it is certain that
the loss on buildings will be valued at
$4,000.
The furniture in the La Pierre House
not damaged by fire was damaged by
water and smoke. and the proprietor esti-
mates his loss at $1,000; insured for $500.
The restaurant and the molding factory
were pretty badly damaged.
Shortly before 3 o'clock the fire was un-
der control. An aged Frenchman named
Briant was carried from his room in the
third story, but recovered upon reaching
the open air.
