Lizzie Thomas was Buried from Dunbsrs
Undertaking Establishment.

All that is mortal of Lizzie Thomas
was laid to rest yesterday.
Some of the good people IN this city
VINO read the story or the drowning
OF Lizzie Thomas were touched by her
pathetic history and they determined
to give her a christian burial
4 nice ash casket was secured, Mr.
Dunbar furnishing il at less than cost.
When the casket was set out in the
parIor of the Dunbar esta olshrnent
yesterday some of the women Who at
tended the funeral brought flowers and
laid them on the casket.
There were fifty or sixty women in
the parlor. and on the sidewalk outside
was large number OF men wnen the
time for the funeral arrived.
The funeral sermon was preached by
Rev. Watson Of the Emporia Avenue
church. He said that when a woman
called on him yesterday morning 10 get
him TO preach the funeral that he
would not have agreed 10 do so il the
deceased had been one died among her
friends.
The minister said that he had other
work 10 do and this was outside his
territory, but that he was touched by
the story which he had read in the pa
pers. and he determined 10 come.
Rev. Watson preached very effec-
tive sermon and told his hearers TO
remember the poor and friendless.
Humanity" he said, rs weak We
speak of strong men but the strongest
may break down and become despond-
emit People can DO very little good in
what is termed society, but when we
comfort the depressed or aid the poor
We are doing the work OF the Master.
From what / have learned OF this
case l believe If some kind friend had
met Lizzie Thomas on the bridge that
morning, and had taken her by the
hand and said: Lizzie, l want you TO
come 10 my home today; / want TO see
you" she would have been alive today.
Eve do not. sometimes. know these
things until il is too late. l am glad
10 see so many people here, but We
must remember the living who are
homeless and friendless.
Il shall never forget when a young
man came to me in Cincinnati. He had
comethere TO attend school, and he
said TO me: oh. / am 50 lonesome and
Respondent. ! would give all 1 possess
10 meet somebody whom l know and
have them speak TO me
This young man said he would go
out on the street and see the throng of
people, but none of them spoke to him,
and they only made him feel more lone
some.
There is no doubt that Lizzie Thorn
as broded over her lonely condition I'M
til her mind became affected and she
took her own life.
''She had no kinsfolks near her. Her
father and mother were dead, and she
had half sister and one brother and
nephew living in Ohio, but she thought
no one here cared for her."
After the funeral service the minister
asked some one TO sing verse. Good.
old Mother Plummer said we viii sing
the song that Lizzie used TO sing, and
she sang, Cast Thy Bread Upon The
Waters
Then the hearse with the black
horses and black plumes drove up, the
caSket was put into it, and number Of
good people followed ii 10 the ceme-
terry, where the remains OF poor Lizzie
Thomas were consigned to their last
resting place.

An Editors Widow Speaks.

Mrs. J. r. Stoutemyer would like
through the columns of the Eagle TO in
form the pastor of one of the prominent
churches of the city that the next time
he proposes 10 stigmatiZe newspaper
editors. as such, if he will acquaint her
with his purpose she will see that the
widow and children of one man of that
honorab bic profession do not embarrass
him with their presence.
The lady would also beg leave TO re-
mind the minister that some years ago
when he was comparatively new to the
Kansas pastOrate she heard him say in
public that ITO make assertions from
the pulpit that are not challenged from
the pews only because the occupants Of
the pews have more reverence for the
time and place than has preacher, is 70
say the least. not manly" And Mrs
Stoutemyer would like to know wheth-
er the reverned gentleman has or does
he now stand convicted under his own
ruling.

This is melodrama from the pens of t wo
clever Eastern playwrights, Mitchell and
Vincent. 1t has never been seen west of
the continental divide, but, according to
the New York reviews of it, no modern
melodrama surpasses it in literary or
dramatic merit. The lines are said to be
clever, the situations are forcible and nat
uraily evolved and the comedy is excellent.

Baldwin Theater,

Mr.. John Drew and company will pro.
duce for the first time in this City "That
Imprudent Young Couple" at the Baldwin
Theater tomorrow night. 1t is by Henry
Guy Carleton, author of 1.-THE Butterflies, -
and is the play selected by Mr.. Frohman
as the opening comedy at the Empire
Theater, New York, when the John Drew
season begins in October It is light
comedy, and tells of the romance of sea-
side engagement and also of another en-
gagement which the young man was i'm
prudent enough to forget. 1t also shows
the moral of keeping letters in your pocket
that had been given one to post, and of the
trouble which is the natural sequence of
such negligence. The first act takes place
at fashionable Tuxedo, and very amusing
act is laid in cheap little cottage in Pat
erson, which the hero and heroine had
furnished on the installment plan. The
hero's income for time being is very
meager, and they have barely enough food
in the house at times to make a respecta-
Bile meal. AT these times it invariably fol-
lows that all of the young mans club
friends drop in to see him and incidentally
to stay to dinner. 1t is the getting out OF
such scrapes as this that causes consider
able merriment. 1t is all the funnier to
those familiar with Mr.. Drew's plays, be-
cause his characters are usually those of
young men who have plenty of Zine and
money. Briefly, the story of the play be-
gins when John Annesley marries Marion
Dunbar, after short acquaintance. Marion
gagged herself, to Langdon Endicott, and
Annesley had summer engagement with
Bar Harbor damsel named Katherine
Kingsland. Just before this hasty mar

q slight falling off Thursday evening,
caused no doubt by the Loring Club con-
cert.
The American play, IAN Imprudent
Young Couple" written by H. Guy Garlic
ton, presents some salient points of society
in the United States as represented by fash
ionable circles in New York. If the picture
be true to life the worship of wealth in
America will be interpreted as infinitely
more odious than the alteration of social
rank in England. The play will be pre-
sented tomorrow evening and continued
throughout the week.
John Drew has his constituents in San
Francisco. He represents their ideas of
what an actor should do on the stage.
He has been coming to the town from time
to time since he played with Days Com
pany in Platt's Hall twenty years ago. when
Fanny Davenport was slender and Emma
Rigl beautiful. In strength and finish as
an actor he has gained steadily, and surely
the lesson which DAILY taught as to the
value of a company strong and disciplined
throughout has not been lost on Mr.. Drew.

sweetness and touches OF exquisite delicacy
are so beautiful to talk about in society
and look SO proper in print that one is not
surprised that SO many young ladies aspire
to be sweet and delicately fashioned on the
stage, but when life is portrayed and the
old, rejecting sheen held up the idea of
strength is revealed. 1t is refreshing once
in while to see character e1emplifed.
The actors of the highly finished modern

siasm to the auditor.

Places of amusement keep money In cir
culation. The playgoer regards the times as
unusually dull when he cannot spare dol
lar for the play. If good audiences at the
leading theaters and other places of recrea-
ton represent the prosperity of the COM
munity, San Francisco should be classed
as prosperous city. The circus may take
in two or three thousand admissions every
night, the Mechanics Institute Fair may
register as many more patrons, yet the
leading theaters are filed night after night.
Does this signify that all classes of the
local population have money to spend, or
does it lead to the thought that the people
of San Francisco seek all their amusements
and intellectual pleasures outside of the
home circle, and beyond the lotteries of
society in which they move? Perhaps the
correct solution is that society in the early
period of the citv's life found its greatest
pleasure at the theater, and so the custom
OF play-going as the chief form of local
amusement has descended from one gen.
Grafton to another. Whatever may be the
odaSRF the presence of high-class entertain
ment at the playhouse is the result.
John Drew's superb company at the
bdlQMln 1DedIeT ldSG WICK gave
sensations of English politics as under
stood by the writer of the "Bauble Shop"
The majority in Parliament vanished, the
Ministry trembled and a political revolu-
ton followed, because the leader in the
House many times visited a warehouse
girl, whose social rank was below that OF
the visitor. John Drew himself was the
central figure, the leader, the lover, the
aristocrat, and every one in the audience
who knew him and so justly admired him
as the agreeable comedian did wish that he
would get out of politics. Nothing could
be more tender and pleasing than Maude
Adams as the factory girl. The critics,
voicing the desire of her friends, asked her
in chorus after the first night to speak a
little louder, forgetting that a modest
English girl in her station should not
speak loud.
Mr.. Harwood played Stoach so well that
the audience detested the character.
