FATE OF HaE PUDDNG

~ remember one Christmas when l was
in the company headed by Miss Rosina
Vokcs. and had left my wife on the other
side. she wanted to send me n Christmas
pudding. She started it u couple Of weeks
before Christmas, and that pudding, after
following us all over this part of the coun-
try, finally overlook us New Years week
in Canada. When it did reach us the
charges on ii were about tweit 8 times the
original value of the pudding, but we all
sailed into 1T, and had a merry time over our
bclatcd Christmas dinner.
THE first Christmas my wife and I spent
together in this country, we were ON the
Bowcry, at the Windsor Theater. In an old
English piece called Good Old Times The
hotel at which we stopped was not very
magnificent affair. but at the close Of the
evening performance / thought We could
safely take a few members of the company
there, and indulge i'll a little Christmas
spread. The hotel wasn't expecting any
such a crash Of trade, though. and the sup
plies were very nearly exhausted. so we
had to wake up the cook and send out for
stuff before we could get anything. We
hung on, though, aud Were finally rewarded
by a very good dinner and merry time"

NEW GERMAN THEATER.

hans teroni Inaugurates a Series of
Sunday Evening Entertainments.
The opening of what promises to be a
very successful season of German theatri-
Gals took place at 252 Turk street last even
ing. This series of entertainments is due
to the enterprise of Hans Veroni, who is
sole proprietor and director of the new
Deutsches Folkstheater. Herr Veroni is
the society editor of the Abend Post, and
IS thus signally qualified to cater to the
Ger man-speaking residents for amuse-
ment. He saw in the recent strandng of
a number OF professional German actors in
this city an opportunity to crafty this de-
sire and the Deutsches Volkstheater or
German Peoples Theater was the result.
At the opening last evening two pieces
were presented. The first was farce
comedy entitled 1.-THE Porcupine," and a
musical comedy called "The Tyroeans."
The performers in the first play were A.
FISCHER, Josie Lafontaine, G. H. Swickard
ana Miss G. Busse. In the second num-
Der the characters were sustained by
Joseph Greben, A. Fischer, K. Hahn, G.
A SWlckard, Miss Josie Lafontaine, Master
q. Wiener. Miss c. Busse, Miss Anita J.
Walter, A. Geiselmann.
Dancing followed the performance.
Inc entertainment will be given each
Sunday evening.

at Honolulu. but there is no coaling sta
ton at the islands. Pay Inspector Bellows
occasionally buys cargo of coal for de-
livery at Honolulu. American ships also
nave supply of coal at port in the Gulf
OF california. In time of war American
cruisers would be permitted to coal in any
friendly port, but would take the chances
of encountering the enemy outside of the
coaling harbor
The detail for the naval court-martial to
try Lieutenant P. J. Werlich for drunken
ness consists of Captain H. G. Cochrane,
U: 5. M. c.; Lieutenant-Commander E.
w. watson, Lieutenant T. S. Phelps, c. E..
Fox, +. A. Wilmer of the Philadelphia,
Captain I. f. Kane, J. B. Milton, w. r.
Rooney and Albion Wadhams of the
Monterey and Lieutenant f. E. Green of
the Ranger.
The court-martial may be held aboard
the Philadelphia. Officers of the navy
speak well of Lieutenant Werlich, and the
impression certainly exists that he has
some enemies aboard the cruiser. 1t is re-
garded as serious matter for an officer in
charge OF division of ship to get drunk,
because his responsibility for the safety of
the vessel Is very great. 1t is said not to
be such an astounding offense for the pay
master, surgeon or chaplain to get "half-
seas over"
From all accounts the officers of the
Philadelphia attended many social func-
tlons on the sound, and SO much hospital
lty was bestowed at Seattle, Tacoma and
other ports that it may be said attentions
were lavlshed on them. According to all
accounts Mr.. Werlich reported for duty
one morning before sleep had removed the
effects OF dinner the night before.
Ihe handsome new residence of G. D.
McCauley, at the corner of Carolina and
Branceiorte streets, Vallejo, was appropri-
ately warmed last Saturday evening by q
large throng of distln guished guests,
among whom were many representatives
of the navy.

of rest, win the 24-dog stake at
Ocean View coursing park yesterday after
grueling run with Senator, for merly
called v hite Chief.
The drawing was unusually even, and
this circumstance made the betting of the
liveliest kind, some of the events carrying
several hundred dollars in wagers. The
hares were fine lot that gave the dogs no
end of wor k to catch them.
The talent evened up matters from the
previous Sunday by making favorites of
dogs that demonstrated their superiority
when slipped, and few short-enders got the
flag.
Ocean View park seems destined to be-
come very popular resort, for the consol-
idation has drawn the best element of the
coursing men to its meetings, and he
crowds are larger on each Sunday.

AFTER JOHN BULL.
President Cronin Gives the A. p. A.
Several Hard Raps-Grattan
Council Meets.

Grattan Council, Irish National ALI
ance, held an enthusiastic meeting at its
hall on Mission street last night, Daniel
Cron1n presiding. Several new members
were initiated, and the pledge of honor to
aid in securing the independence of Ire
land was administered with proper
solemnity.
Grattan Council expects to have a mem
bership of 200 when the New Year is ush-
cred in. The members of this particular
branch of the National Alliance are much
interested in the controversy now going
on between the American Government
and England over the Venezuelan bound
airy.
During the evening patriotic speeches
were made by several of the members, in
Guiding ?. j. Sullivan, Edward A. Waters
Thomas Murphy, William Clifford, Can
tain z. f. Robinson, w. J. Roche and
President Daniel Cronin. Several of the
speakers took part in the civil war and
we're also members of the old Fenian
Guard. They knew what war meant. and
referred TO the Venezuelan dispute as a
long wished-for opportunity to meet Eng
lands redcoats face to face. President
Cronln IN the course of his remarks said.
Il hope the day is not far distant when
the brave sons of Northern ireland will
have az opportunity to meet face to face
that hated foe who for centuries has
ground down our fathers. Now is the
time for those of our race In America to
band together as a second Irish brigade.
and be ready at a moments notice to
march beneath the stars and stripes-that
flag for which many of our fathers shed
the last drop OF their blood.
John Bull has sent his emissaries among
us-those Orange A. p. a. firebrands who
pose as defenders of our country and SLAM
der and revile the Irish race. They charge
US with disloyalty to the Republic. We
can point with pride to the gallant heroes
OF our race who fought for Old GLORY at
Stony Point, Brandywine. Germantown.

burg and Bull Run. We will crush the lie

been of high class and exceptionally free
from the tai OF dishonesty and jobbery.
One case OF crookedress was summarily
dealt with by the stewards, which served to
show owners that only good, clean, honest
sport would be tolerated, and the race
going public appreciated this fact by their
liberal patronage. To be sure there have
been reversals of form, but in muddy going
this is to be expected.
One of the most popular innovations in
troduced by the new Jockey Club was the
idea of making Wednesday of each week
Ladies Day, on which occasion the fair
sex are admitted free of the usual admis-
sion charge. AS Christmas falls on that
day TIE present week the club decided to
throw open its gates to the fair sex to-day.
The card is rare good one, comprising
six well-flled events, one of which is a
hurdle race with the largest field of
starters that has faced the flag during the
meeting.
In the opening race Zoole in has shown
returning form, and should come very
close to landing the purse. Little Mid
showed we'll in his race on Saturday, and
should be close up. Julia o looks the
best III the mile and half event, and, as
foremost is bred to go a route, he should
be the runner-in. Libertine was beaten in
the mud, which is not to his liking, on
Saturday, but the track will be dryer to-
day, and the sturdy sprinter is very liable
to atone for his defeat, with Rosebud his
most likely opponent. Lucky Dog locks
the class OF his field. but he is unreliable at
best. In the last event Jack Richelieu is
carrying more weight than in his winning
race on Friday, but the distance Is shorter,
and he should be close up TO the money
The California Jockey Club will run off
the Pommery Sec stake, mile handicap,
on January 1, the date originally set for
the deciding OF the four-mile Thornton
stake. The latter event will be run later
on in the meeting.

One of Charles Frohman's best COM

There are two great military dramas on
the stage now, and The Girl l Left Be-

Frohman attraction that has visited To-
peka this season.
On Friday night "The Span of Life"
which has already been described as
very good scenic melo-drama, will be at
The Grand This is William Calders
company and carries three acrobats and
a lot of scenery. The light house scene
is one of the interesting scenic prodac-

Probably the best entertainment of its
class that will visit Topeka this winter is
John Stetson's "Crust of Society" that
will be at the Grand Saturday night.
This is the company of which Joseph
Murphy spoke SO we'll. Carrie Turner is
the star and the company contains such
people as E. Davenport, who is a brother
of the famous Fannie Davenport. Miss

known parts now before the public.
