ALL FINE CHORUS SINGERS
The Mormon Tabernacle Choir
Gives an Excellent
Concert.
FIRST TIME IN THIS CITY.
In Technique and Ba1ance the Body
of Sweet Singers Created a
FIRST TIME IN THIS CITY

An artistic success was scored by the
Mormon Tabernacle choir in Metropolis
tan Temple last night. The public
heartily applauded the visitors from Utah
and in several instances induced them to
break through their commendable reserve
in the matter OF encores.
The organization brings a number OF
soloists, but its real strength lies IN the
choir itself. The large body OF singers
shows the effects of long and regular
choral practice. which is an absolute requi-
site to success in choral singing. The
parts are evenly balanced and the voices
pleasant in timbre, with good round
volume of tone in the forte passages.
The shading was very satisfactory,
though the listeners would not have had
to strain their ears even if the piano pas
sages had been a little softer.
AS for the attack, it was excellent. par
ticularly in the opera work. In the Nor
mon hymns there was slight tendency to
sIur, but this was evidently done ad-
visedly, in order to enhance the ecclesias-
tical character of the music. The final
chorus in the "Traviata," which was the
gem of the whole concert, was sung with
splendid attack, as well as with crispness
and dramatic expression, while the volume
of sound was full penetrating and sweet.
In this number Miss Lizzie Thomas Ed.
ward did excellent solo work.
Judging from last night the Mormon
choir possesses remarkable versatility, for
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-16

principally due to the fact that there is no po.
lice officer on duty at night in that portion OF
the district to give an alarm, and
that the keys to the fre-alarm boxes are
hard to obtain, as at that time causing
delay of nearly half an hour before an alarm
was given or before assistance arrived, be 1t
Resolved, That we petition the Board OF Su-
peryisors to provide an engine for the outer
portion of the district and also for more fire
alarm boxes, and that keys be furnished to
three or four property-owners living near each
box; and also that mounted police officer be
detailed for night duty in the district west OF
Twelfth avenue.
ResolUed, That we extend to the bereaved pa
rents OF the innocent victim OF that unfortu-
nate occurrence our earnest sympathy, and
th at we also appeal to all Richmond residents
10 aid and assist us in making our homes ana
families secure by day or night, and make i'm
possible in this district the repetition of the
unfortunate affairs of April II.
Resolved, That we believe that the Board OF
Supervisors, Fire and Police Commissioners will
grant our request when our needs are stated;
be ii
Resolued, That copy CT these resolutions be
forwarded to each body.
Quite an animated discussion took place
over the fire facilities of the district and
the difficulties of getting engines over the
badly paved streets, especially during night
alarms.
j. II. Dever, who is foreman of Engine
70, said that it was dangerous to drive at
rapid rate through unlighted and unlm
proved streets. 1t was the sense of the
meeting that the district must have more
alarm-boxe and a general improvement
OF the fire system throughout the locality.
Months ago the Fire Commissioners had
been asked Tor such simple things as more
boxes and keys and no heed had been paid
to their request. They also wanted better
police protection, but so far had not been
able to obtain it.
After all the questions had been dis
cussed at length the meeting adjourned.
The San Francisco call., 1896-04-16

We simply want to hear the Supreme Court
tell us whether the Railroad Commission
can regulate streetcar fares or not. Then
We will learn all about the business of the
Santa Rosa, Marysville and San Bernar-
dino streetcars, if we care to do so. How
ever, we are not settling the fares of any
OF the transportation companies except
the Market-street.
This going to the ATTORNEY General for
advice ana to the streeI-car companies for
reports appears to be giving tie Market
street Railway the benefit of the doubt.
For heavens sake. give the people the
benefit of doubt sometime! Let us con-
clude just this once that the people deserve
some rights, and act on that assumption.
The Market-street Railway Company is
more merciless in its methods than its
ster-cuttletsh, the Southern Pacific. 1t
has gobbled up whole streets, paying not
one cent for the privilege. 1t has snatched
all the entrances to Golden Gate Park, and
if a resident of San Francisco wishes a
little fresh air in that great recreation
ground he must pay tribute first to that
tyrannous corporation. 1t has grabbed all
the competing lines, except the Sutro,
Sutter and Preside, and practically owns
all the passenger transportation business
OF the City. Should it gobble up the Sut-
ter where would Sutro be?
"Now suppose the fare was cut to 8 or
2% cents, you would see three persons
riding where only one does at present.
Suppose the railroad company sold tickets
ten for 25 cents wouldn't everybody be
riding in the cars? Let the company
knock out the transfers if the public can
get two rides for the nickel or for the
cents.
"Since the action of the commission last
Tuesday the Ashbury Heights people are
more determined than ever that the obli-
cations due from the railroad company to
the public shall be kept. They realize
that the Market-street Company is simply
a branch of the Southern Pacific Company,
and that the two have everything in com
mon. The Railroad Commission seems to
be In doubt on the streetraIlroad question.

Bragg used to call Joseph Wheeler his
Pony Colonel" Referring to the battle
of Shiloh Colonel George c. Garner,
Prentiss and Wallace's division were
pressing upon and driving back Chalmer's s
brigade, Bragg, Hardee and Beauregard
were on an elevation and saw the advance
OF the Federal line. They thought it was
desperate attempt of the Federal army
to pierce our center and when they saw
Chalmers yielding to this large force were
necessarily much alarmed, but when they
saw Wheeler meet and check the advance
their anxiety was turned to Joy and Gen

lutte jurisdiction. One of these is the
regulation OF charges in the Pullman cars
and the Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express. We
intend to bring these matters to the atteu-
ton of the commission. They are GER

the Railroad Commission has never taken

.FL|NT'S NEW MAILCARS,
Railway Postal Clerks to Be
Housed in Pullman-Like
Coaches.
Designed by the Division Superintend.
e1t and H S AssiStant-Ready
for Service.

One OF the finest mailcars in the United
States left Oakland pier last evening and
is speeding toward Ogden over the Centra,
Pacific.
1t is a pity that so handsome a piece oil
rolling stock should have only the numer-
lcal title 4068 inscribed on its side. 1t would
seem that the beauty and luxury merited
more poetic title. However Uncle Sans
mail service officials lay no claim to poetic
1ancy' no matter how many effusions of
that nature are handled under their diree-
ton daily, SO 4068 was the gilded inscrip-
ton on the, glossy side eof the car that is
making its first trip.
1t arrived with five duplicates from Dav-
ton, Ohio, three days ago and stood in the
yards until yesterday
The new cars were designed chiefly by

nc Coast division of the mail service, and
ID. Lewis, the assistant superintendent.
While the United States Postoffice DEPART
ment prescribes the plan of the frame
work of its cars, it leaves to the division
superintendent and his aides the designs
OF the interior and the adaptation of the
structure and size to the needs of the road
The specimen of the half dozen addi-
tions to the train service, which is on
the road to-day, is 68 feet in length from
platform to platform, and 9 feet in width.
1t is ga feet inches in length from the
front TO the rear vestibule and its weight
80, 800 POUNDS. 1t has the same running
gear used IN Pullmans and has the same
metallic framework, backed by rubber
about the doors. 1t is twice as heavy as
| the mailcars formerly used on this line
and offers the same resistance as a Pull
man.
The advantage of this as a precaution
against loss OF lite in disaster is obvious,
since the mailcar is always next the en-
CINE and receives the brunt of the force in
q collision.
The new cars are lighted by means of
three Pintsch gaslight tanks, each having
a capacity of 81 cubic feet. The ten lights
thus furnished make it possible to de-
cipher the faintest lines in slovenly
superscription. The wood employed in
the interior furnishings OF the car is cherry
and the effect is neat and pleasing.
From the heavy floor of seasoned oak,
with iron above and below, to the appli-
ances for cooking the hasty meal of the
clerks the car is complete in its provisions
for safety ana facility, and is simply de-
signed to carry its share of the 10000
pounds of mail that crosses the desert
every day.
The letter-boxes have wire bottoms,
hus enabling the distributor to see at a
glance whether in the long rows Of boxes
one letter may remain Further facility
is obtained by larger boxes for the accom-
mediation OF the larger envelopes, and
boxes ranged along the floor for the re-
ception of packages of letters.
No feature of the new car is more ac-
ceptable to the employees than Dewitts
cinder-guard, which is attached to the
opening through which the mail is
thrown, and affords complete protection
for the eyes of the clerk
Halls lock safe occupies a convenient
nook, and is safe receptacle for registered

mass meeting under the auspices oil
the Point Lobos Improvement Club was
held in Richmond district last evening,
for the purpose of advocating cheaper and
better streetcar service and more fire pro-
lection. The meeting was called to order
by Chairman George r. Fletcher, who
stated the object of the gathering.
''In the matter of car fares,' he said,
'the club will advocate the 21l cents reduc-
ton, and as Richmond is never backward
where there is any work in improvement
TO be done, the Point Lobos Club will be
found going ahead.
1.-The question is, Can we better afford to
pay ~ cents for two rides and take our
time or the cents and be limited as to
when and where we take the rides? Now.
in regard to the fare and the two trans
ters there are comparatively few who use
so many transfers. In fact there are not
more than 20 per cent of the patrons of the
streetcars who use transfers at all. MANY
object TO the Scent proposition, as that
would bring copper coins into circulation,
and we haven't got down to the single
cent basis vet
The transfers sooner or later will dis
appear anyhow, as the railroad ompanies
are not obliged to give them, and those
corporations are not in the habit of giving
things away to any great extent. Some of
them have been stopped already. heard
car employe say that the Market-stree
Company was in favor of a reduction.
Then, | say, in heavens name give us the
reduction, for that is what we are yearning
for.
~ have heard that the wages of the car
employees will go down with the fares.
How the corporations love to appeal to
the worklngmen when they are driven
into corner. There VIII be no such cut
in wages, as there is an old law which saws
they cannot be put lower than 81 cents a
trip, believe. There will be more pas
sengers to carry at 212 cents a fare, and
more cars to accommodate them"
5. n. Darbee, president of the Richmond
District improvement Association, said
that the club was in favor of ~ cents, but
not cents.
