Rev. Cooke Addresses Large Audience on tn.
Great Poet

Great Poet
Pasadena, March 2.-The evening with
Longfellow at the Baptist Church Friday
evening was success. Rev. N. H. G.
Fife, in humorous introduction, very
pleasantly opened the entertainment.
Rev. Henry A. Cooke OF Boston re-
sponded in an equally happy vein. Then
he said that the evening was in CON-
memoration OF Longfellow's birthday and
mentioned that thirteen years ago the last
OF this month he died. When he was
last in England the English classed him
with Shakespeare. The Queen sent for
him, and she found that not only the rich
Of her household but all her servants
new Longfellow and his poems. She said
that the man whom the poor bless shall
be blessed. The beautiful poem, Foot
steps of Angels, was written upon the
death of his young wife. Mr.. Cooke told
of the poets love for children and of their
love tor him. He held the close attention
OF his large audience through all the
anecdotes and Rotations. Miss Stouten-
burg and Mrs. Bloss repeated the beauti-
Mrs. Alice Vail playing piano solo and
accompanying Mrs. Bloss. They were
heartily received by the audience. Miss
York read some of Longfellow's tender
poems about children, and was also
heartily received.

Taylor Chautauqua salute was given
the performers, not forgetting Mr.. P. A.
Collins, who SO kindly loaned the Need

the most tickets. J /. W. Camper proved
to be the boy, he having sold sixty-one
tickets. The evening closed with the

TO ASSIST THE POOR
A Review Of the Work Of the
Associated Charities
J. A. Buchanan Addresses Pasadena Club.
LongfeIIow Evening--Church
Notices for Today

Pasadena, March "A most earn
est meeting took place last night
at the Universalist Church, under
the auspices of the Friday Evening Club.
J. A. Buchanan acted as leader and gave
a very good talk on the Associated Chart
ties, an organization of which he has been
president for several years.
The idea of organizing such an associa-
ton, where all charity societies could meet
and work in unison and cooperation, SAID
the speaker, originated in England some
tenty-tive years ago, and while it met with
the hearty support of a large army OF in
dividuals it was, much to the surprise OF its
founders, vigorously opposed by the differ
ent organized Christian denominations,
rs they seemed to look with suspicion upon
any work not under the special guardian
ship of their own particular creed. The
i association, however, lived and grew; and
time has softened the spirit OF opposition,
50 that now in almost every city this or
gsnization is found to be strong and doing
( its good work of assisting the unfortunate
q and needy; help the deserving by helping
. them to help themselves, rather than
making them objects of charity, yet al
ways lending the necessary assistance.
The society here is in a fiourishing condi-
ton.
Yet with all the study and observation
and practical application, the public
stands today and asks, What shall we do
with this great and ever increasing army
I, OF needy human beings? Where is the
right solution? viii some Moses appear
and lead the way?
5 s'One-fifth of the world knows what
bitter hunger is, continued the speaker.
Society wears different appearance
from that of twenty years ago when was
q boy, and l believe it is different. A
man starting out then to earn a living
) did not have to deal with the great trusts
which eat up all the small companies.
There vera no trades unions to say to
him ''you cannot learn this trade Then
new machine was not invented every
uday which enabled the owners to say
Now, nine OF you fellows walk out; we
q only need one to do the work ten of you
have been doing. Things are changed.
We have new social condition to solve,
and believe the way will appear and
that the nineteenth century will throw
light upon the path OF the poor such as
= never shone there in the centuries that
0have gone" s~eo.
Following the address a general dis.
cussion was held remarks being made by
Reverend Florence Kolock, DR.. Kate
Black, Mrs. H. l.. Johnson, DR.. Gaylord
and j. G. Cahill.

BOB KERN'S RICHELIEU
One OF the Finest and Cosiest Resorts
in the City
has Been Redecorated and Relighted
and Is Now a Model OF
Attractiveness

Everybody who is anybody among the
boys and business men who reside in Los
Angeles or visit the city knows where
Bob Kern's place Is, at Second and Spring
streets. Just Bob, not Robert says
the proprietor as he welcomes the guest
into his pretty place, which is named
the Richelieu.
Well, Bob was very well fixed before the
boom came in cafes and saloons, but he
saw some of the other fellows putting
on varnish, and so he concluded he would
remain where he was, at the head Of the
procession, and he called council OF
war. Miller & McGrath, the painters;
the Los Angeles Furniture Company, and
Meyberg Bros, the electricians, were
called in council and then Bob said: NOW
| want to fix up. You gentlemen take
charge and do your best No halfway
measures. This is to inish.'
The artisans turned the place over to
Kern yesterday, and it is beauty The
bar, club room and reading room are
paneled in rich green, with stiles in
snow white. The ceiling is in delicate
pink, richly frescoed. On the floors are
Wilton and velvet carpets in tints match
ing the walls, and everywhere about the
place are incandescent lights in cut glass
globes, in clusters, groups. and singles,
that flood the place with the brilliant
light that electricity alone gives. The,
furniture is comfortable and useful, and
we'll adapted TO the purposes it serves.
In the corner, handsome cigar stand, fit
ted with Catalina marble and opening on
both streets, has been built and viii be
conducted by Fred Barman & Bro.
All in all, prettier place than Bob
Kern's would be hard to lind. 1t pleases
the eye, is tasty but not gaudy, and fully

Bob is always at home and wants all his
friends to take q look at his rooms. For
the past six years he has catered to the

It Is portraiture of home life in the Austrian Tyrol. The play is superbly mounted with due difference to exact reproductions of the scenes and the picturesque dresses of the country.

THINGS DRAMATIC.

Alexander Salvini played Hamlet" to a large and fashionable audience at O'Brien's opera house last night. It was the first time this talented actor had been seen in tragedy here, and there were not a few who feared he would not come up to expectations, as the unfortunate Dane. They had seen him in the "Three Guards men," and recognized in him the very best d dArtagnan on the stage at the pres ent day, but as Hamlet they had their misgiVings.
 Mr. Salvini may not be the ideal Ham, let, as pictured by some, yet in that diff cult role his wonderful talent and versa tility show to good advantage. There are scenes in which he rises far above the average actor who essays that char acter, while there are others In which he falls below what might reasonably be expected of an artist of MT. Salvini'S known ability.
 In the sword contest he surpaSses any thing seen here this season, and perhaps in several seasons. He is capital fencer, and his exhibition of that art is splendid.
 All in all, MT. Salvini's conception and interpretation of Shakespeares great play compare favorably with that of any other person playing the part, and he will no doubt gratify his ambition in the tragedy line.
 His company is composed of good ma terial, and they gave him splendid sup port.
 Tonight Mr. Salvini and his company will present the "Three Guardsmen" at OBrien's.
 DArtagnan is considered MT. Salvini's strongest character, and on his appear ance here last season as such he gave perfect satisfaction.

Minnie Maddern Fisk.

There are without doubt many theater patrons in this city who remember with lively interest the work of Minnie Mad dern Fiske as an actress before she re- tired temporarily from the stage some five years ago. She was then regarded as a genius, although she had never been seen in a play worthy of her unique per sonalty Her reappearance this season, with her art developed and her dramatic ability so pronounced as to lead to her designation as the most moving emo tional actress in America, is matter for congratulation. Mrs. Fiske has a new play, by Alphonse Daudet and Leon Hennique. adapted by Harrison Grey Fiske, which offers her the greatest dra- matic opportunity, and she will be seen in this, as we'll as in Ibsen's "A Dolls House." in which she Is said to be great as Nora, during her engagement in this city. Mrs. Fiske went upon the stage at the age of years. Before her fourteenth year she had acted the round of juvenile parts with the prominent players or the period. Long before she wore long dresses off the stage she assumed them in the theater. When but 12 years Of age she played Francois in "Richelieu' and Louise in "The Two Orphans" When 13 she assumed the part of the Widow Mel note with astonishing success Mrs Fiske's occasional appearances for charity in New York since her retirement in plays that had tested great genius In others, illustrated her marvellous artlStlc expansion, and her return to the stage in plays that fit her unique talents per fectly is an event that all of those in this city who admired her before will be quick to appreciate. Mrs Fiske was born in New Orleans. Her father was the we'll known southern manager. Thomas Davey, and her mother was Lizzie Mad dern, of the noted Maddern family of musicians. Monday and Tuesday even ings, December 30 and 31, are the dates Mrs. Fiske will appear in this city at O'Briens opera house.
