And untold grief through all my years is this.

There lies the heart l draw in rapturous bliss
'Gainst my own. the tender cheek kiss,
Wherein a crimson flower is now in bloom.
Each bird would follow in her spirits fight,
AT break of dawn the rose shed tears of woe,
Its trembling lips held upward to the sky:

'Twould be a-marvei to the world below
If she should def my loved one should die.

1t made California free State. 1t was
advanced, liberal, and thoroughly demo-
cratic; founded upon social and political
equality, it was enlightened in its pro-
visions for education and catholic in its
guaranty of religious freedom. All
political power was declared to be inherent
in the people, and all officers of the Gov
eminent were made cleo tive. Although
the achievement of an assembly extremely
and in the main unused to
lawmaking, it embodied the principles of
the best political and jurisprudential
philosophers; anG, contrary to the ex-
pectations of some of its trainers, it en-
dured for thirty years as the fundamental
law of the empire State of the Pacific.

this week.
On the oath inst. the California Theater
is to reopen with 1.-The Old Homestead"
and the Baldwin soon follows suit with the
New York Lyceum Company, which will
appear under the personal direction of
Daniel Frohman. Judging from present
indications the coming season will give
local theater-goers more famous artists and
new plays than was the case during the
past dramatic year. With regard to the
artists at least this is certainly a consum-
nation to be wished for, as it is some
what surprising that of the new actors
and actresses who played in the
East last season new that is to
America-not one of those who had just
gone home to Europe, with their pockets
full of dollars, has come west of Chicago
Ysave certainly charmed California audi
ences, but he is not a dramatic artist, in the
theatrical sense of the word.
The fact that San Francisco has not been
hearing many of the newest plays, is not,
perhaps, great loss. Critics and the pub
lie alike, in the East and Europe, are begin
ming to weary of the eternal problem play,
which never succeeds in solving a single
social problem, and is only written to pan
der to a certain fin de steele craze for sensa-
tionalism. Works like 1.-The Notorious
Mrs. Ebbsmith,' may be cleverly con-
structed to make bid for popular favor.
but even the people who enjoy them most
do not pretend that such plays have merit
enough to live.

consists of the constant struggle for bread
on the part of the poor, and of the greed
for gold among the prosperous and
wealthy.
The scenes are laid in and near London,

bound to become one of the best tobacco
producing States in the Union. Recently
he brought the matter to the attention OF

tobacco to Eastern manufacturers. Some

A contract for 5000, 900 feet of hemlock,
to be used in the manufacture OF paper,
has been let to parties on the Lower 20

superior quality of pulp owing to the
whiteness of the fiber and freedom from
pitch. Hemlock, hitherto considered
worthless on this coast for almost any pur-
pose, will now take rank with cottonwood
or spruce as pulp material.

AT THE ORPHEUM.

Two Californians Who Withstand Strong
Electric Shocks.
The Salambos, brother and sister, who
puzzled Orpheum audiences last week with
their fire and electric acts, are natives of
San Luis Obispo, but have spent most of
their lives in Australia and Europe, where
they have interested physicians by their
endurance in resisting electric shocks that
would PROSTATE any ordinary man or
woman.
Just before going on the stage the
brother charges himself with quantity of
negative electricity by process which he
keeps secret. His sister is charged with
the positive current, and when they bring
their fingers together, without touching, a
spark is produced. The Salambos will in
troduce new features into their electrical
act this week.
Amann will add the chief executive Off
Ger of the State to his representations to-
morrow. Jules Levy, the veteran cornet-
ist, gives his farewell performance at to-
days matinee, when, by request, he win
play 'Then You'll Remember Me-"
The brothers Martinetti will be the prin-
cipal new attraction this week. They are
acrobats of considerable originality, who
perform remarkable somersaults.

architects of the country.
AS there are not less than so 900 eleva-
tors In operation in the United States, the
commercial Importance of this addition to
the electrical field will be seen. Central
stations are already laying themselves out
for electric elevator business, and one sta
ton in New York is now running some $50
electric elevators of total of 5000 horse
power. Although this system is adapted
for heavy work, especially in tall build
ings and is coming into general use on
account of it's saving in space, ease OF
handling and high efficiency for business
purposes, one of the most important of its
affiliations will be for domestic needs. In
five years time a well-appointed house
will as naturally have an electric elevator
as bathroom. To many delicate and
elderly persons the mounting of steps is a
grievous burden, if not a serious source of
injury, and before long stairs will be looked
upon as barbarism. 1t is now as easy
and cheap to have an electric elevator in a
private house as in large Office building.
The cost of operating it in, say tlve-story
house, making fifty or sixty trips every
day, will not exceed So or $4 per month. IL
is made to work automatically, so that
there is not the slightest danger. An in
valid or child can operate it; it stops only
at each floor and starts only when the ele-
lever is discarded, and all that is necessary
is to press button.
POSSIBILITIES IN TELEGRAPHING WITH
OUT WIREs.-The continued success which
has attended experiments in sending tele-
graphic messages through space promises
to lead to remarkable developments. An
English electrician says it is difficult to
forecast the future of this new telegraphy,
So far, signaling has been carried on by
this means in one direction only, but
there is no reason why messages should
not be duplicated, and even quadrupli-
Gated. Further details are now to hand
of the establishment of communication
between the island of Null and the main
land near Oban, few weeks ago, when
the connecting cable broke down. 1t will
be remembered that an insulated wire
was laid along the shore of the island,
and messages through it were sent to
the mainland across two miles of in
tervening space. The official report
states: An ordinary Morse circuit
could not have given better results. The
chief difficulty was the incessant scream
ing of the wild fowl" W. H. Preece, in
commenting on the achievement finds q
very different explanation of this supposed
screaming of the sea fowl" He says
that strange, weird and mysterious
sounds are frequently heard on long
lines of telegraph in the calm stiffness of
the night, but whether they are due to ter
restrial or to cosmic causes remains to be
discovered. The suns photosphere when
disturbed by spots may be subject to vio-
lent electrical storms, and the vast Jets of
incandescent hydrogen that fame up with

Lillian Russell Alarmed,

For few hours last Thursday night
Lillian Russell was pretty badly fright
ened. Her voice gave out during the
finale of the first act of 1.-THE Tzigane"-
"dried up" as the singers say. The ex-
preston which came upon her face when
this event occurred was not observed by
the general public, but those of Miss
Russell's friends who were watching her
at the moment could read it easily enough.
1t said, as plainly as if the words had
spoken: my voice is gone. Will it ever
come back?" 1t was look of intensest
agony. As soon as the curtain came down
Miss Russell rushed to the dressing-room
where she wept bitterly for a long time
her understndy finishing the performance.
Happily, there turns out to be no
occasion for any alarm. The voice of this
beautiful woman needs a period of rest
that is all. 1t has been overworked for a
very long time, and when Miss Russell
recently caught a severe cold, instead of
endeavoring to Tighten her iabors. she
about doubled them, by rehearsing her
new opera all day long and singing the
music of "La Perichole' at night. The
task would have been severe enough, in
all conscience, had she been in the best of
condition. III as Miss Russell was. il ey-
ceeded her endurance. The physicians
say there is no permanent impairment
put that she must keep quiet for reason
