IN THE PRODUCTION OF REV
ENUE BY THE BIG RAIL-
ROAD SYSTEMS.
EARNINGS SHOW INCREASE
SOME OF THE LOCAL ROADS RE-
PORT A DECIDED GAIN
IN RECEIPTS.
THE TABULATED STATEMENT
Made From an Authentic COmpi-
lation-Business Picking Up
Everywhere.

A most remarkable sign of the
times lies in the fact, perhaps not
generally known, that among all of
the railroads of the country those
of the Northwest, and especially
the lines headquartered at st. Paul,
and leading to the immense re-
sources of the Western empire, are
leading all others as producers of
revenue. Nearly every local road
comes to the close Of the first six
months of 1895 with increased earn
ings over 1894. Some show very
large gains indeed.
The Financial Chronicle recently
made an authentic compilation of
the earnings Of the railways of the
United States, which fully bears out
the above statement, Placing the
Northwestern lines into two groups,
they would show up as follows:

The Canadian Pacific, while not
properly in this category of roads,
erksffecting this territory materially,
however, shows up with a decrease
of earnings of s57s, 1893. But it is here
inSended to convey the clear idea
/ that the Northwestern lines of the
United States are centainly in a more
Furnishing condition than for long
time previous. And with the com
| ing season, when the new crop will
be ready to be handled, this bust
ness should improve still more, and
the earnings also still further
swelled by the natural increase of
business of all sorts owing to the
| general revival of all commercial
/ and industrial interests.

FIVE PLAYERS
STRANDED HERE.
THEY SAY THAT MANAGER RIGGS
BROKE HIS PROMISE TO
THEM.
NO PARTS AND NO SALARIES.
Miss ANNIE LEONARD, LEAD OF
THE 1.-TWO ORPHANS" Is ONE
OF THE QUINTET.

Charles Riggs, whose company is play
ing "The Two Orphans" at the Alcazar
this week, has fatty refused to pay his late
leading lady, Miss Anne Leonard, and four
other actors, any part of the amount they
claim as salaries.
"Seeing there was small prospect of re-
covering the back salary" said Miss Leon
ard yesterday, ''and being left out of the
cast for The Two Orphans asked Mr..
Riggs on last Friday evening to at least
do, although by leaving me out of this

demanded by the front of the house.

$50 here l am, far from home, minus my
salary and transportation, which l was
given to understand when we started from
Chicago would be paid whether the bust
ness was good or not, as Riggs said he had
good financial backing. His backing has
come from George n. Sceets, wealthy
brass-founder of Milwaukee, who is the
father of Rose Stillman, one of the ladies
| OF the company.

responsible, as she, as well as Riggs, led us
to believe our pay was secure. do not
see any way now to recover my money, but
when get back to Chicago shall be able
to avenge myself in way by informing
the theatrical people there of the way l
have been served. The whole scheme
seems to have been desire on Riggs part
to get rid of me and another member of
the company, but he lost five of us instead
of two"
A. G. Henderson, the leading man, also
left the company because there is bal
ance of $3.50 salary due him. He says he
got tired of getting his pay on irregular
semi-occasions.
II made demand on him on Saturday."
said Mr.. Henderson, (which he refused

company to my part. 1t seems it wasn't a
safe proposition to ask Riggs for a settle

been filed in San Francisco and who are

of being far away from home without trans

NEW STREETCAR LINES.

Two of Them Will Soon Be opened to
Public Traffic.
The extension of the Kearny- street line
out Kentucky avenue to Sixteenth will be
opened for traffic Saturday.
Workmen are at present engaged in put
ting in a crossing for the Twenty-second
and Twenty-fourth street line at the inter
section with Market, and it is expected
that it will be in operation in about ten
days.
General Manager Vining of the Market
street Company said yesterday that no
radical changes in the present system OF
transfers was contemplated, but that the
opening of the new lines would necessarily
require notifications in some instances OF
existing conditions.
The Broadway and East street electric
line now runs cars at intervals of ten
minutes between Kearny street and the
ferries.
Many new cars are being received by the
Market-street Company for use in the
newly opened electric lines. They are all

cars having been found undesirable in sew

HE Led FOR THE LAST TIME
THE LORING CLUB GAVE ITS FINAL
CONCERT WITH THE OLD
CONDUCTOR.
QUITE AN OVATION ACCORDED TO
THE LEADER BY A LARGE AUDI
ENCE.

When David Loring raised his baton
yesterday evening to lead the club he
founded nineteen years ago for the last
time there was not vacant seat in Odd
Fellows Hall.
The enthusiasm, which began when the
singers and their conductor appeared on
the platform, continued all through the
concert, and when the last words of the
final number, Now Fare Thee Well, Good
Night" had been sung, the majority of
the audience showed their disinclination
to say farewell by staying and applauding,
evidently in the expectation that Mr.. Lor-
ing would make speech. They were dis
appointed, however, for the conductor only
responded by bowling and finally sought
safety by retiring with the rest of the per-
formers from the platform.
The concert was just as good as if the
rehearsals had not been hurried on a
month to give the last performance of the
season before Mr.. Loring's departure for
Japan. Indeed in the large number of
active mem bers present and in the happy
nature of the selections, it was a better
concert than usual. The volume of voices
was quite majestic in some of the numbers
particularly in the Mendelssohn "Bacchus
Chorus" 1t made one regret that San
francisco does not possess an equally good
organization of female voices, which might
com bine occasionally with the Loring Club
to give the public the treat of hearing ora
torio. From the way the chorus sang the
Mendelssohn number last night it ought
not to have much trepidation about at
tempting the ''St. PauI' or the Elijah"
One Of the most cleverly rendered selec-
tons was Genee's italian Salad 1t
consists OF string of Italian musical
terms, and words that occur frequently in
opera. Being translated they ran some
thing like "soft, sweet, suave and lovely |
Loud, tremble, with passion" etc., and
as each word was given with its proper
expression, and the music was pretty, the
audience was ddite charmed with the re-
suit. Barring a disposition to waver and
culver on his notes. Frank Coffin sang the
tenor solo of the italian Salad" very ac-
ceptably. Some of the other numbers were
a "Rhine Wine Song" by Mendelssohn, a
waltz by Vogel and a "Hymn to Music
by Lachner.
Mrs. Carroll-Nicholson, the vocal soloist,
was more a mezzo-soprano than a con-
tralto, as announced in the programme.
The unsteadiness in her voice was evil
IDENTIFY caused by nervousness, for it became
less noticeable the more she sang Mrs.
Nicholson's voice was pleasing and even,
though not very round nor powerful. 1t
was free from the sepulchral tones that
mar SO many self-styled contraltos, how
ever, and as the selections, by Massenet,
Cantor and Dudley Buck were ali iu,
dicious, Mrs. Nicholson succeeded in max
ing a very good impression on her au-
dience.
On the 1st of April the Loring Club gives
farewell banquet to David Loring, after
which the rehearsals will go on as usual
under the leadership of q. G. Stadtfeld,
the conductor pro TEN. NJ. E.

No More Singing.

Twenty years ago in Italy melody was to
be heard all over the country. The Iaborer
going home to bed through the vines sang
his stornello or his rispetto to the sleeping
fields. The boy who drove his yoked oxen
or cows in the big square cart beguiled the
way with song, joyous or amorous. The
guitar and the mandolin were heard at
dusk at every farmhouse door, and in the
streets of the town youths went singing
and playing till the moon was high.
There was music all over the land, along
the hedgerows. as in the city lanes, under
the poplars and mulberries as beneath the
walls Of citadel and baptistry. How many
time at sunset or in the starlight have I
listened to the beautiful canzone of the
peasantry when the sweetness of the vine
flower filled the atmosphere or the dropped
acacia blossom shed its smell on garden
paths. Now rarely are these wood notes
wild ever heard to tighten and spiritualize
toil.-Ouida, in the Nineteenth Century.

SHANTIES WILL DISAPPEAR
THE MACDONOUGH ESTATE ABOUT
TO BUILD ON GRANT
AVENUE.
A SIGNIFICANT, TRANSFER OF Real
ESTATE NEAR REDWOOD
CITY.

The Marlborough estate has decided to
erect handsome building at the northeast
corner of Suffer street and Grant avenue
on lot fronting 60 feet on Suffer street
and 100 feet on the avenue.
Baldwin & Hammond, agents for the es-
tate, notified tenants on the property yes
terday to leave the premises, and as soon
as these people move out work will be COM
menced for erection of the building. The
disgraceful old shanties will be torn down
and Improvements in keeping with these
times of development take their place.
The new building is designed with Span
Saskatchewan feeling in type of the
Moresque that is picturesque, although
well adapted to modern requirements.
Only two stories will be built above the
ground but the walls will be so constructed
that three additional stories may be added
whenever the demand justifies such en-
largement. The material to be used is
stone, brick and iron combined in a frame
work on most modern principles
The structure will cost about $4,000. At
present it is doubtful if the plan will be
changed as tenant has been found who
will rent the entire building, while another
offers to take the stores, leaving the upper
floors to second party.
Baldwin IL Hammond closed the sale of
a large tract In San Mateo County yester-
day. They sold $50 acres of land at Red
wood City, belonging to Mrs. Caroline III.
Robinson. Part of the land is in the town
of Redwood, about fifty acres being divided
into town lots and 600 acres in ranch land
1t is located about a quarter of a mile from
the railroad station. G. A. Hooper, the
lumberman, bought it as an investment,
no doubt in consideration of the valley
road coming through San Mateo and the
nay,f aHu in, rpol or IA vol ryac
that county. The ranch is part of tract
formerly known as the Horace Halves
land, which was bequeathed for an educa-
tional establishment, but was subsequently
secured by heirs of the Hawes estate. The
price paid is 100000.

WITH NEW ATTRACTIONS.
How "The Girl Left Behind Me" Comes
This Time.

The coming engagement of "The Girl l
Left Behind Me-" which opens at the Cali
fornia Theater ON Monday evening next,
promises to eclipse the former engagement
of the play at the Baldwin two years ago.
The sale of seats opened yesterday morn
ing, and judging by the great demand the
California will hold one of the largest au-
diences ever assembled within its walls on
Monday night.
1t is said that the play is now presented
on a scale which has increased its popu-
larity. The Indian attack on Post Kennion
is given with realistic elaboration. 1t
shows handful of men and few women
in a beleaguered garrison, waiting for
several thousand hostile Indians to pour in
and massacre them. This time specially
trained quartet will sing the quaint Indian
war melodies, and company of United
States regulars will be seen in the pro-
duction.
