A HOME FOR GRAND OPERA
Local Capitalists to Recon
struct the Old Panorama
Building.
Walter Damrosch's Wagnerian Com
pany to Give the Initial
Performances.

San Francisco is to have theater suit
able for the production of grand opera By
the last of next week the old panorama
building, in which the water circus was
recently built, will be under course of re-
construction, and will be completed in
time to open with season of grand opera
in the last of December with Walter Dam
rosch's great company.
"The lease of the property has already
been arranged" said Architect William F.
Smith last night. at will be long one
for ten years at least. The only thing that
remains to be done is to decide upon the
apportioning of the shares OF stock among
the six or eight wealthy men who are in
terested in the scheme. Till that is de-
cided upon nothing definite can be given
out, and ! think it would be better to wait
till then"
els there, then, any doubt about the
new opera-house being built?' was asked.
"None in the least. The only thing is
the capitalists who are furthering the idea e,
want to decide upon certain minor details
before they become known. The new
opera-house will be built as money
making scheme and to encourage high art.
1.-THE matter has been considered care
fully. We have looked over the field and
find that there are Leading attractions
enough to keep the stage busy during six
mont OF the coming year.
1--WE will open with the Damrosch Com
pany in December; then will follow Irving,
Bernhardt and other great stars. But we
hope TO make money out of the leading
consultations in the lesser theatrical
world. Take the Bostonians. At 81 so a
seat in a small theater that company
would lose money. We could play. them
at 81 seat and make great profit, for we
have 5000 seats.'
Mr.. Smith was enthusiastic over the pos
sibilities of the new opera-house. He de-
clares that with the 100000 to be expended
in reftting the Panorama building he will
be able to accomplish more in the way OF
decorations than with 100000 in new
building.
THE rear wall of the building will be
torn down." he said, in telling of the new
theater. There is enough land back OF it

matter he said he did not want to express
any opinion one way or the other. As to
the appointments, he thought they were
very satisfactory and wonld cause no pro-
tests from their respective parties.
State Senator John Fay was enthusiastic
in his comments on the Mayors action: :.
HE hit the nail on the head. remarked
the Senator, sin not catering, as he says,
to the millionaires. He picked them from
the middle and the working classes. 1t is
right to give the latter the chance which
he has. They are deserving of it.. The
new Commissioners are good men and they
want a good secretary, and he, think,
will be Registrar Hinton"
While the Democratic side of the COM
mission are so jubilant over Hinton little
is said by the Republican members. Not
that they have anything against him, but
both Mr.. Foster and Mr.. Castle are
inclined to be n.committal until they
have consulted together and with their
party associates. 1t is possible that they
will fall into line and choose Mr.. Hinton.
In fact, with an evenly divided board this
NAV be taken as the best plan for har-
mony's sake. At best, it is argued, in
case of deadlock over Hinton there would
have to be compromise man selected. To
avoid this and enjoy the services of 81
capable man will be the probable reason
for choosing Hinton.

THE DE CARDONA: CASE.
Little Story About Laborer and His
Warrant-The Hearing Post
pOned.

Leo de Cardona, charged with raising
warrants of the Street Department, was
before Judge Campbell yesterday morning
for preliminary examination, but the hear
ing was postponed until July 9.
The thorough examination and COM
parison of the books of the Street Depart
ment with those of the Treasurer and
Auditor discovers no new or great dis
crepancies. 1t appears that the entire run
of these nimble transactions netted the
forger or forgers-for it is still believed
there are others interested in the crooked
work-only about $40.
John Mcdonald, whose warrant was one
of those raised from IS to S5S, tells story
that will stand for evidence against Car
dona. He sold his So ''tag," representing
the amount owed him by the City, to a
broker for 81 so. The broker went to the
Street Department for the warrant, but
De Cardona refused to give it to him.
Mcdonald then called for it and De Car
dona gave him So in silver
McDonald's warrant afterward turned
up calling for'$5S.

dummy warrant. is the name of brother
in-law of Larry Welsh, chief deputy in the

he die. The monthly dues are not suffi-
cient to meet the sick benefits and the Off
GERS of the association have therefore been
compelled to get up q picnic to raise
funds.
At meeting held last month the follow
ing committee of arrangements was ap-
pointed: R. M. Roche (chairman), George
F. Folsom, P. ]. Whelan, B. Frank Ames,
I. G. Gross. j. A. Spiller. Carl FINN, R. D.

A. B. Reed, H. NJ. Locke, L. E. Bowen,

Blaemel, Harry Logan and Conrad Trei-
Der.
After months hard work these gentle
men have now everything in first-class
working order and most enjoyable time
is anticipated. There are 206 carriers and
so substitute carriers in the organization
and 100 clerks and % substitute clerks en-
ployed in the Postoffice. They are all
working for the success of the picnic, and
are confident that their efforts will be
crowned with success. There are 300 gate
prizes, so prizes to be contested for on the
racetrack and 10 prizes for shooting, be-
sides cash prizes for bowling.
The letter-carriers' band, under Drum
Major Griffin, will be a feature of the occa-
sion. 1t will leave for the grounds on the
20 A. NJ. boat, and large crowd is sure
to go over on that trip. A special steamer
will leave at / 80 P. NJ, and return at $3.50
Pm. Besides these the boats of the San
Francisco and North Pacific Railroad will
leave on the regular schedule time.
The National Association of Letter
carriers will meet in Philadelphia the
latter part of next month, and Joseph A.
Spiller and Conrad Trieber have been
chosen delegates by the San Francisco
branch. All the letter-carriers from New
York City, Brooklyn, Jersey City, Wash
ington and Baltimore will be there on
September 2 next, and the organization
expects to march 5000 strong in the Labor
day parade.

ACADEMY OF SCIENCES,
1t Protests Against the Dis
miSSal of Professor
Davidson.
AcetyIene Gas as an Illumlnator-A
Lecture on Lower California
Delivered.

At meeting of the California Academy
of Sciences last evening committee con-
sisting of w. s. Chapman, G. P. Rixford
and Dr. Gustav Eisen was appointed TO
draft suitable resolutions to Congress pro-
testing against the removal of Professor
Davidson as director of the Coast and Geo
detic Survey of this coast.
A reading and exhibition on acetylene
gas derived from calcium carbide was
given by E. G. Jones, assistant engineer OF
the Pacific Gas and Improvement Com
pauy.
ut seems as though nature deals out
her treasures to US according to well de.
fined system, dependent on our needs. The
secret of combining calcium and carbon
was divulged by the high temperature OF
the electric arc and was purely accidental,
vet electricity produced an offspring which
may prove menace to it in the field OF az
tifcial lighting" said the lecturer.
s'In 1898 l.. T.eWillson of Spray, North
Carolina, devised process for retaining
metallic aluminium by means OF an cleo
trio furnace, but was debarred from carry
ing on his work by an injunction obtained
by another company having similar pat
ents.
He then turned his attention to the
utilization of his furnace for the purpose
lime with finely divided charcoal.
"He found that at the temperature OF the
electric arc an inter-action took place,
which resulted in the evolution OF carbon
monoxide and light behind fused mass
which solidiied to a very hard seml-crys-
talline body. This mass was thrown into
water to cool it, as it was apparently use
less material, but an instant evolution OF
large quantities of gas attracted attention.
"Mr. Wilson gave an estimate OF the
cost of making carbide, from which the
gas is manufactured, based on his expert
ence, at about SIS per ton. 1t appears,
| however, that Mr.. Wilson had underes-
| timated the cost of the carbide, or else the
dealers are realizing excessive profits, for
an aluminium company III Neuhausen,
Switzerland, is manufacturing calcium
carbide and offering it for sale at about
$110 per ton.
''The cheap production of acetylene opens
new and fascinating field for the student
of chemistry, for acetylene is regarded as
bodies in the synthesis of organic COM
pounds from these elements.
by heating it in sealed tube, it is con-
verted into benzine and styroline and
alcohol. and all of the cyanides may be
synthesized from it, in fact the scope for
research opened by this discovery is so
great that the effect on organic chemistry
will be revolutionary"
Dr. Gustav Essen delivered an interest
ing lecture, illustrated with steropticon
views, on Lower California and Mexico, on
the habits and mode of living of their in
habitants and the scenery and facilities for
travel and transportation in that semi
barbarous and rugged country.

zone great assistance to us in arriving at
an idea of what the scheme would cost was
the presence of Frank Damrosch, the
brother of Walter Damrosch. Mr.. Dam
rosch came out to San Francisco to find if
some place could not be obtained suitable
for the production of grand opera by his
brothers company. We have consulted
with him, and there is now no doubt but
that new theater will open with sea-
son of Wagnerian operas by the Damrosch
company.
''In order to make the engagement a
paying one we have figured that the COM
pany would have to take in $1O0, 600. Ac-
cording to our calculations $4,000 will
have to be taken in-before the first cost of
putting on the first Opera will have been
covered. Then will come the running ex-
penses."
Mr.. Smith says that the names of the
gentlemen interested in the new venture
will be made known by the beginning of

have the order rescinded. They claim
that it is the best-drilled and strongest

is disputed by the other companies, who
characterize it as the smallest in point of
numbers and the poorest drilled.
