AT THE CITY PLAYHOUSES,
p" The Masked Ball" at the
Baldwin Makes a De-
Cided Hit.
"A WOMAN OF NO IMPORTANCE
A Military Success at the Grand
Observation-Disclosures
Elsewhere.

John Drew and his splendid company of
clever artists opened the third week of the
engagement last night at the Baldwin
Theater with that charming comedy from
the French, 1.-THE Masked Ball." The
large audience that greeted the players
represented society and fashion, and it was
kept in state of jovial excitement from
first to last by the many amusing situa-
tons in which the playwright places the
different characters. The comedy is a bril-
liant one, and the sparkling dialogue,
which is exceedingly enjoyable, gives Mr..
Drew an opportunity to present an ideal
Frenchman in the character of DR..
Paul Blondet. He put more than his
usual vivacity in the character, and
when he was led to believe that his wife
had been flirting with Joseph Poulard, his
partner Harry Harwood), at the masked
ball, he in act and gesture is the perfect
impersonation of the excited and almost
distracted husband, and his words, looks
and action keep the audience in contln-
ued roar of laughter. While Mr.. Drew is
the chief character, the other members of
the company have some very good COM
edy characters. Maud Adams, in the char
acter of Suzanne, who in one scene felgns
tipsiness in order to be revenged on DR..
Blondet, her husband, for having treach-
erously won her from his friend Martinez
(Lewis Baker,, gave splendid and not over
drawn representation of one who INDUCED
too freely in sparkling wine. Virginia Bu-
channan as Nine. Poulard, the jealous
wife, gave splendid portrayal of a wife
who IS determined to be revenged on her
husband for having made her lose faith in
him. Lewis Baker was very natural as
Martinez, while the others were almost
faultless in presenting the parts intrusted
to them. 'The Masked Ball" will be pre-
sented this and tomorrow evening, and It
will be followed by "The Butterflies"
which will hold the stage during the rest
OF the week

GRAPE AND HOP PIOKERS.
Many Harvest Hands Are Being Sent to
the Country.

Last week the Labor Commissioner was
considerably discouraged on account of his
inability to fill orders for grape-pickers for
the vineyards of Fresno. The men were
unable to pay the full fare and the orders
were for less than carload lots of fifty, on
which the railroad company will make re-
auctions in the rate. Yesterday A. D.
Owen, the superintendent of the Butler
ranch, where thirty men are wanted, tele-
graphed to Mn Fitzgerald to send the men
by way of Stockton, so as to take ad-
vantage of the cheap opposition steamboat
rates. In this way the men can reach
Fresno for 81 %, and Mr.. Owen states that
he will pay the quarter. He has now work
ing for him sixty-five men, who were sent
by the State Free Labor Bureau, and he
finds them a sober and industrious crowd.
In fact they are much better than coolies
and the best he has ever had in his vine
yard.
On Wednesday the bureau will send fifty
hop pickers to c. Y. ColwelPs ranch, near
Santa Rosa.
An order was received from A. L. Sayre
of Fresno for fifty grape-pickers, but it is
doubtful if the order can be filled, as the
men are unable to pay their fare.

Grand Opera-House.


An audience that filled every seat in
the first presentation in this City of
"Across the Potomac" one of the best war
plays that has ever been placed on San
Francisco stage. The action of the play
was heightened by the splendid accessories
and the beautiful scenery painted by Sid
ney Chidley. The play is based on incl
dents during the late War of the Rebellion,
and in the dialogue there are many pa
uttered were applauded to the echo, CIV
ing proof that love of flag and country
is not dormant in the hearts of the people.
In the battle scene, when at one time
more than one hundred people occupy the
stage, the audience is worked up to high
pitch of excitement, and when Captain
Baker of the Union army is shot down
men, and the commander of the Con-
federate troops calls upon his men to de-
sist firing, declaring that the captain is too
brave man to die, most magnificent
tableau was shown, and it was
loudly applauded-in fact, this was
kept up so long that the curtain
had to be raised again and again.
II. Coulter Brinker as Captain Ralph
Baker gave a good representation of a
" uAtSu OeotCo dILhy OliIOO1, oIiu do OhC1O
Ephraim" Frank Hatch was an admirable
Southern darkey. Miss Maud Edna Hall
as Madge Hanford presented the character
with that carefuiness of attention to text
and details that has marked this talented
young actress. The other characters were
generally well sustained. The closing
tableau, '"The Outspread Wings of Peace"
painted by. Chidley, is wonderful piece
of scenic effect.
"Across the Potomac" will hold the
boards during the week, and it is sure to
draw crowded houses every night.

pie, the Torbett Concert Company will
give series of concerts. This company
includes Miss Ollie Torbett, of whose tai
ents the papers of New York, Boston, Gin
cinnati. ST. Louis have spoken highly.
Mr.. Lutteman, who was one of the lead
ing masters at the Royal Opera in Stock
to be found at Upsala, and after diligently
training them, started out on his triumphaI
tour, which extended far beyond the Scam
dinavian peninsula, even to San Francisco.
In connection with this musical combina-
ton of celebrities the company includes
Countess Frida de Tersmeder, who just a
few months ago arrived from Europe, and
who has already gained for herself warm
place in the hearts of American audiences.

The Tivoli Opera-House.

While the other places of amusement
were crowded last evening, the Tivoli
Opera-house was filled to OVERLOOKING by
those anxious to be present at the reap
pearance of Ida Valerga, who appeared in
the character of Marguerite in Gounod s
Faust" Her welcome was hearty one,
ent of many handsome flowers and set
pieces. William Walshe, the new tenor,
who assumed the character of Faust
has good voice, but he is not quite at
home in stage action. The opera was
admirably set and the costumes we're ele-
CANT. Tonight Louis Willard will appea-
as Marguerite and Martin Pache will takr
the part of Faust. The opera will be cone
tinued during the week.

The Orpheum,

The new programme and the new people
at the Orpheum last night were well re-
ceived by very large audience. There
was slight disappointment that III. j.
Emmett, a noted ventriloquist, did not
appear, but this is explained by the
fact that the train on which he is coming
to this City was unavoidably delayed. He
will, however, appear tonight. Moreland,
Thompson and Bush, in song and dance,
made themselves favorites at once. The
Fabinus troupe of Russian singers and
dancers proved an acceptable addition to
the artists of this house. and Wright and
O'Brien were so happy in their comedy
and song that the audience was 10th to let
them retire. Ceballos astonished all by
his extraordinary performance on the high
xyiro

minutes and said that the work was not quite
ready yet; that he would take the mans name
and address, and if he should in the future
want him he would let him know.
This, you will readily understand, is the
usual way of telling man that he is not
wanted.
For the work now being done at Siebe q
Glanville's the wages are from 10 to 10 per
cent less than the wages we received for doing
the same work.
In the meantime we are idle, and most OF US

SHOT IN THE CHEST.
While John Hagerty Was Examining
His Revolver It Exploded.


His Revolver 1t Exploded.
John Hagerty, bartender in his brothers
saloon at the Cliff House, was taken to the
Receiving Hospital early yesterday morn
ing with bullet wound in his chest. DR..
Fitzgibbon found that the bullet had passed
between the lungs, and had lodged in a
cavity near there. The chances are that he
will recover. He was afterward taken to
his home by some friends.
Hagerty said that after closing the saloon
he was examining his revolver, when it ac-
cidentally exploded. The shot was heard
by member of the Life-saving Station,
who found Hagerty lying on the floor of
the barroom.
1t was in this saloon that Robert Hagerty,
the proprietor, was robbed and shot by two
footpads, supposed to be the same two men
who killed Cornelius Stage. Four months
later it was again visited by two footpads,
who held up and robbed John Hagerty
and three men who were drinking at the
har.

THE G.. A. r. PARADE.
Thirty thousand Veterans In Line al Louis
ville-The Demonstration Viewed by
100000 People.

The terrible accident which cost
the lives of four members of the Louis
vile legion on the nth, cast a gloom
over the Grand Army Of the Republic
parade that day, but nevertheless the
turnout Of the veterans was memoir
able sight and aoo,o people cheer
ed them as they marched along.
1t was gigantic and sincere tribute
to the sentiment which was at the
head Of the procession and which was
worn on badges innumerable, "one
flag, one country" The line of march
was limited to two and one-half miles
and the change was wise one, for the
heat was intense and the sun beat
down upon the unshaded roadways
with remorseless fury.
The members of the various citl.
zens' committees on horseback acted
as escorts to carriages containing
Governor Brown and staff and Mayor
Tyler and city officials, who headed
the procession. The line consisted of
ten divisions and rough estimate
placed the number of men in line at
over 10000. The cheering along the
line was incessant from start to finish.
The Pennsylvania departments and
posts were in the first division with
Illinois and Wisconsin. The New
York, Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania
and Illinois veterans got the major
share of the hurrahs./ At the court
house the line was reviewed by the
commander-in chief city officials and
5000 special guests.
Ambulances accompanied each di-
vision, and ice water was provided al
each street intersection and all posi-
BILE precautions were taken for the
relief of those who might be overcome
by the heat or compelled by fatigue to
fall out of the line. There was, how.
ever, but little call on the medical
department, and with an exception
here and there the divisions remained
intact from start to finish. The
column moved slowly and occupied
over four hours in passing the review
ing stand.

The Philosophy of Panics.

Senator Hill made an interesting
address at the Agricultural Fair in
Elmira, N. Y, September S. Among
other things he said:
/ know that there are those who as
sumo to be able to account for every
period of industrial, financial or agri.
cultural depression, and to trace its
cause to some political change in the
Government, to some great revenue
measure, to adherence to some hnan-
cial heresy, or the violation of some
essential principle of public policy.
They may possibly be entirely right,
but the interesting and significant fact
is recalled that, Notwithstanding all
their fine spun or plausible theories,
there have been occasional periods Of
national distress ever since our Govern
ment was formed.
The nation is not unlike an indivi-
dual. The body polite may appro-
priately be compared with the physi
cal body. A most careful observance
of the rules of health will not prevent
sickness, and neither will a strict com,
pliance with the laws of business pre-,
vent commercial difficulties. Sick
ness is incident to humanity, and
commercial panics are incident to
trade.
1t may be laid down as a safe and
general rule that the less the Govern
ment, State or national, interferes with
private business, occupation and af'
fairs of men, the better it will be fol
the classes and for all the people
What the farmers want is what al
others profess to desre-good Govern
ment, honestly and economically ad
ministered, fair play and an oper
field in the race of life. All els,
must be left to Providence and t.
themselves.

A queer state OF affairs has arisen IN
Gallitzin, which vas recently the scat
of so much trouble between the Sisters
of s St. Joseph and the American Ami
Mechanics. After the Garb Bill pass
ed, the School Directors insisted upon
employing the Sisters to teach in the e,
public school building regardless OF
consequences, but the Nuns refused,
saying that since the Garb Bill was a
law they would obey it, however un-
lust. The Directors have since made
arrangements to teach in the ola
church building at that place. All the
Catholic citizens Of the town agreed
to send their children to the Sisters
and not to the public schools. AS
the population OF Gallitzin is almost
entirely Catholic the handsome new
school building there is practically
deserted.

Mr.. A. B. Farquhar, large and
successful manufacturer of York, in
an address to the workingmen Of
York, on Labor day, in that place
among other things said:
1t is not a question whether the
workingman is getting more than he
formerly did, but whether he is get
ting his share. Every workman
should have a proprietary interest in
the wealth of the country. There
should be the widest diffusion of
capital, especially in land. But the
only way to acquire capital is to save
it. The Government cannot give it
to you without first robbing some one
to get it. Co operation is the only
true method, and every honest effort
of workmen to put it in practice
should be encouraged and / for one
one thank God for every success
scored, since it opens the way for
thousands to pass from dependence
and penury to freedom and comfort
The vice of depending upon the ma
tion or upon some one else instead oi
ones self is too common. The ma
ton has nothing whatever to do with
the affairs of its citizens further than
to protect them from foreign inter
ference, to preserve order and preven,
one man from invading the rights ol
another. Private enterprise built up
this country, felled its forest, drained
its swamps, erected its towns, dug it:
roads and invented the Vulnerable
labor saving machines that have
enabled the poorest workman to live
in more comfort to-day than the
wealthy classes did few hundred
years ago."

Keep Out Of The Mud,
JUDGES OF COURTS SHOULD STAY
AWAY FROM POLITICAL CoNvEN-
TIONS.

Judges of the common pleas and
superior courts of Pennsylvania, hav-
ing taken part in the late Republican
state convention, it is now in order
for the chief justice Of the supreme
court of Pennsylvania to become the
permanent chairman of the next state
convention. We might carry it
farther and have the president of the
United States or the chief justice OF
the supreme court Of the United
States presiding at a national conven-
tion of the party to which he belongs.
1t would be just as appropriate as
Governor Hastings and judges Of our
courts taking part in the late Harris.
burg convention. Judge Miller, of
Mercer, may say that when off the
bench he has right to take part in
politics just as any other citi zen, but
the people do not think so.
Suppose, for example, two appli-
cants for hotel license appeared in
the court of Judge who had been an
active partisan in the late Republican
fight either for Mr. Quay or Governor
Hastings. Suppose each applicant
was just as we'll qualified as the other
but had been a warm partisan of Mr.
Quay and the other of Governor
Hastings. Who would stand the
better chance1 The partisan on the
same side with the judge or the one
who sided with the other partyp There
would be the feeling that the judge
could not act impartially and the judg-
ment Of the court would not be above
suspicion. No judge and no execu
tive officer ought to take part in a
political convention.
