 "Trilby" will be presented on Tuesday and Wednesday, May 2S, 20, by A. M Palmer's unrlvalled company. Du Maurier's novel has been dramatised by Paul M. Potter. The sale of seats opens Tuesday, May 21.
 The first act opens in the studio of the three musketeers of the brush in the Latin quarter. Trilby, svengali and Gecko are introduced, as well as Taffy, the Laird Little Billee and Mime. Vinard. Here the first intimation of the hypnotic powers of Svengali are shown. The act closes with the declaration of love between Little Billee and Trilby. Many incidents are crowded into this act; the rare music of Svengai and Gecko; the love of the three painters the awakening of Trilby to her position as a model-all congruously and con- nectedly developed. The second act shows the wedding banquet; the ar rival of Billee's mother and her appeal to Trilby not to marry her son. Then comes the dance, a proposed elopement, and right here is the first marked change from the story. Trflby consents to run away to Belgium, but is left alone for a while, during which time svengali enters, throws her in a hyp- notic trance. and, while thus influ- enced, she writes to Taffy, and is led away by Svengali and Gecko.
 The third act, which Is by far the strongest from a dramatic standpoint, again dlstorts the story, necessary by the adaptation to the stage, The death of Svengali and the musical fiasco of Trilby are made to take place in Paris instead of London Trflby sings the first song, "Au Claire de Lune," the voice being heard in the distance. Then follows the encounter between Svengali and Taffy and the death of Svengali,
 The last act is the death scene. in which the hypnotic effect of the photo graph is utilized As already stated, MT. Potter has performed his work marvellously well.

the three pedeStals upon which this great
monument of industry rests.
1t is only within the past few years that
gas has been applied as a substitute for
coal, but the rapidi,y with which its facili-
ties have been increased has led to a new
era. VIII eh comes as manifold blessing to
the housewife.
The time is not far back when the users
of wood laughed at those who undertook
to burn hard coal. telling them that it was
a useless attempt to burr paviDg-stones as
fuel. Our ancestors, TO whom are ac-
credited this pee uliar sarcasm, were slow
in recognizing the value of an innovation
which departed from the colonial modes Of
life, but the progressive people of to-day
see at glance the benefit to be derived
from new inventions and useful applica-
tons OF old ones. So il is with tie modern
gas-stove, with its many accessories, and
to-day wood and coal. hand in hand, are
making their farewell bow from the homes
where they have long dwelt to make room
for the newcomer.
The prices charged for gas have fallen
rapidly during The past few years, and the
improvements constantly being introduced
IN It's manufacture have rendered its use
even more economic than that of any
other fuel.
The San Francisco Gas Light Company.
which occupies the building and store at
226 Post street, has grown with the new

in this city are largely due TO the progress
