I had been the local staff of the
Toledo Morning Telegram but one
short month-February probably
when an incident occurred which ap-
ruptly changed the ideas which L
had of newspaper work, then, ana
proved of benefit to me later on IN
my career. One afternoon Old Hig-
gins came into my room, and, hano-
ing me a programme and two little
red tickets, said:
1.-THE retail clerks give nice en-
tertainment tonight, and l wish you
would feature it. I've several friends
in the organization, you know, and
want to do the nice thing by them. :.
He waited out and left me sore and
disappointed / had counted onthere
being nothing to do that night, for
1 had an engagement with the most
lovable little blonde on EARTH, to
whom I was quite devoted, and
couldn't just exactly see why fate
should interpose in the shape of an
assignment. A few moments of
thought, and I evolved scheme.
I determined to keep the engage
ment with the girl and go to the en-
tertainment afterwards.
Brilliant idea! The more thought
of it the better it seemed, and my
joy returned. Nell wouldn't be dis
appointed after all-neither would 1.

the office as if filed with inspiration
for the work on hand, then ducked
around the corner and went off in the
opposite direction. 1 spent the even
ing with the dear little blonde, and
poured tales of love into her willing
ear by the yard. We were so inter
ested in what was saying, and what
she was not saying, that time passed
us by without so much as a warning
nod.

ton over the most prosaic mind
when that mind is concentrated
upon the presentation of a drama.
Think of the theater-goers whose
lot 1t was to gaze upon a male
Juliet and listen to the lad sigh
forth the lovesick maiden's. Where
fore art thou Romeo?'
Yet these words doubtless sounded
almost as sweet to them as though
they had dropped from the lips of a
young and budding virgin So,
indeed, the crude and meager seen
cry, primitive stage trappings and
absence of all mechanical devices,
constituted no demerit, and no draw
back to the fullest enjoyment of the
performances. Then they knew of
nothing better, and were contented.
1t is unnecessary to dwell upon the
radical changes that have taken
place, and the strides that have been
made in the art of staging dramatic
creations. Attention is merely called
to the contentment of our ancestors
with the simplicity and crudity which
marked the production of plays in
their days, as further proof that

not, justly belittle their worth and

LITTLE TOWN HALL

have resounded the inspiring senti-
ments of the worlds dramatic gen.
fuses. Behind the same oil foot
lamps care-dispelling comedy, "jest
and youthful jollity'' have reigned
and radiated their innocent merri-
ment to many a heart that hungered
for their sunshine. All, how many
of our dignified men and women
used to sit in the old town hall forty
years ago, when they were little
folks, and fix their bright eyes on
the old cheesecloth curtain. as if
they would bore holes through it, and
yet not so either, for that would
spoil everything. No gorgeous cur
tain of our modern theaters ever con-
cealed more mysterious and fasci-
mating secrets, and the children of
today never long for it's rise or re-
gret it's fall more keenIy than their
fathers and mothers did the plain
piece of cloth that served in their
time
Now it seems almost time to tell
something about the first theaters
in st. Paul. The drama was inau-
gurated in st. Paul in the summer
of 1851. The place was nothing but
a country village then, as the popu-
lation, according to the census of
1850, was 1924. In the fall of 1850
Charles D. Elicit, the florist who is
still in active business here, erected
a two-story frame building on the
southeast corner of Third and Ex-
change streets. The building still
stands there. 1t is about rs feet
long and perhaps 80 feet in width.
Mr.. Elicit christened it Mazurka
hail.. In June, 1851, Mr. Elfelt met at
Galena, ILL.,, an actor-manager named
Langrishe, and he at once closed a
contract with Langrishe and At
water, his partner, for three weeks
season in June. Langrishe and At
water at once came here and played
three weeks engagement to good
houses. They confined themselves
Ito comedy and farce. In August of
the same year a portion of the
troupe Of Placide's Varieties, of New
Orleans, which had closed as usual
during the summer season, wandered
to ST. Paul, and seeing an opportun-

opened with such bright prospects for
Druidism.

in the chairman and be announced at q
later date through the press.
J. W. Nelson was made president and
George Roeth secretary of the executive
committee.
1t was decided that the exhibition should
be limited TO Alameda County.
The executive committee was empowered
to make all the necessary arrangements
and plans to conduct the fair.
At last nights meeting of the Federated
Trades the following was unanimously
adopted
Believing that any effort which may be made
TO enhance the interests of Alameda County
should receive the hearty eommendation of
the labOriug element OF the county. and
WHEREAS, Itis the convection OF the Alameda
County Federation OF Trades that the proposed
fair for the exhibition of Alameda County's
products and resources Will be conducive to
the end in view therefore
ResOlued, That the Alameda County Fedora
tion of Trades favors the project OF holding an
industrial fair for the purpose of calling at
tention to and advertising home industries
projected by the ladies CT Ebell Society and the
leading business men of Alameda County.
At present there is some uncertainty as
to what rules will be decided upon for the
government of the exhibit. The general
idea is that the fair will be solely for the
display of articles manufactured or raised
in this county. Such being the case, of
course merchants would be prevented
from making displays Of their wares
Some merchants, however, feel that if they
should be allowed to secure space for an
exhibit they would perhaps cramp the
quarters of the home manufacturer, thus
preventing him from doing justice to the
articles which he puts on the market.

cry street ..Sailor 81 was one OF the busiest
engines in the metropolis, and scores: OF
veterans have helped pull and pump the
old fashioned machine. When the San
Francisco department was. turned into
paid ORGANIZATION Sailors was purchased
by the Brooklyn volunteer department..
At that time Brooklyn was. a town lnde-
pendent of Oakland and had lre depart
ment of its own.
AT BROOKLYN the engine did much good
service. but when Oakland organized a
paid. fire department, and Brooklyn be-
came part of this city, old "Sailor'' was
purchased by the Haywards volunteer
fire department. 1t has not. been idle in
the interior town during. the past. few
years, although the demands upon it have
not been nearly SO numerous. as during
that portion of it's life on the San Francisco
water front.

thirty Years ago, when the old engine was
stationed at Brooklyn, Itook hand at
working those levers.

who are not only exempt from fire duty,
but from all other kinds of earthly duty.
When the old Sailor 81. first came TO
Brooklyn James Moffitt was the foreman
of the volunteer company. He, like
many others, made q good record and
passed away since then. Now the Ex-
empts want that engine. as a relic. of the
days when men and boys handled the
ropes and dragged it to a fire. 1t is a
beautiful specimen of the pioneer type of
fire engine and is in splendid working
order. We have a little money, and Il
hope that. enough will be subscribed to
purchase it. Now that it is back in Oak
land it ought to be kept here.

DIFFICULTY TO COLLECT,
The Fruitvale Improvement
Company Is Declared
Insolvent.
The Corporation Owes $1Is,6eS az and
Has Assets Said to Be Worth
$2o5,233 49,.

The Fruitvale Improvement Company
has failed for $1l8,694 AZ. The petition in
insolvency was filed with the County Clerk
Yesterday. -.
The assets of the company are more than
enough to pay all debts. but it is evident
that an inability to collect accounts due is
responsible for the distressed financial con-
dition of the corporation. There are over
$50 accounts due and payable included in
the schedules, some of which have been
running for long time. The assets all
told amount to $205, ,233 40, and the ac-
counts mentioned make up the greater
part OF it.
The company was formed for the pur-
pose of planting and cultivating vineyards
and orchards and of harvesting the crops
from them and disposing of The same.
1t was formed in May, 1892, and since
then has accumulated a large business in
the interior districts. On November II
the stockholders met to consider the con-
dition of affairs which presented itself, and
in pursuance of that meeting the petition
in insolvency was filed. The schedules
seem to show that most of the business of
the concern was done at Fresno, for the
labor accounts due are nearly all entered
there. There is also note due. the Occi
dental Land Investment Company for
$51, 200, and few others running from
$500 to $l1,000. BY far the greater num-
Der of debts due, however, are in small
la bor accounts.
Among the assets of the company are a
note from the Empire Vineyard and Or
chard Company for $33, ,4S3 65 and one from
the Atlas Vineyard and Orchard Company
for $62, 1888 S.. The real estate owned by
the company is valued at $1,000 and this is
incumbered by claims and mortgages
amounting to 1856. The incum mbrances
on the personal property mentioned are

was held in Shattuck Hall last evening
under the auspices of the Good Govern
ment Club for the purpose of obtaining
expressions of public sentiment in the
the "speak-easies" of East Berkeley,
President Kellogg of the State university
presided and in opening the meeting de-
livered a brief address expressing strong
Endorsement of the Marshal's course.
Attorney W. H. Waste was the next
speaker. After a brief history of the
liquor trouble and outlining its present
status, Mr.. Waste read very important
communication from George W. Baker
attorney of the California State Protective
Association.
Mr.. Baker said that the ASSOCIATION
would IN no way aid the East Berkeley
law violators In their fight to defend them
selves in infraction of Berkeley's law.
Professor G.. H. Howison, Mills profes-
sor OF philosophy at the university, made
a speech also in commendation of the ac-
ton of the town officers. Professor Howl
son expressed some doubts as to the wis
dom of the law as it stood, but said that
he regarded it as a duty of every citizen to
aid IN the enforcement of all laws while
they remained such, and he had warm
praise for Marshal Lloyd's action in doing
after election what be promised to do be-
fore.
Marshal Lloyd was received with loud
applause and declared his intention to
continue as he had begun, to enforce all
laws OF the town. Other speakers ef the
evening, all of whom agreed with those
mentioned, were Theodore Wagner, Presi-
dent Boone of the Board of Education,
Professor Z. e. Brown, Judge Haight, II.
Halght ii. d. Irwin, School Director
Robertson, Justice James and S. E.
Moffitt. The latter presented the follow
ing resolution, which was passed by ac-
clamation.
WHEREAS. The renewed agitation against the
vloiators OF the liquor laws OF Berkeley has
called into prominence a vigorous policy on
the part OF our town officers, and there seems
entirely upheld, therefore be 1t
RcS0tUed, By the people of Berkeley, in mass
meeting assembled, that we heartily indorse
the courageous manner in which the Town
MARSHAL, Mr.. LLOYD, has enforced the new

OF trustees, and the able manner in which the
lown Attorney and his assistant have defended
