Grand Opera House.

One of the best plays that has ever been presented in this city was seen at the Grand opera house last night by a large and enthusiastic audience. It was "The Girl I Left Behind Me-" which will be presented this afternoon and evening, and there Is already large advance sale. Its scenes are the surroundings of the military posts in the northwest. There is an uprising of the villain. rival lieutenants, into full play. The third act represents the post Kennion stockade at daybreak. The post is surrounded by Indians, whose tom-tom and weird chant are heard in the distance, and who will attack the little garrison at sunrise. Scenes of the most intense and exciting kind are evolved in this connection.
 The presenting company includes Harry Geoynette, Frank Richardson, Duncan Preston, George B. Miller, Miss Adele Block, Jean Williams, Leslie Haskell and Alberta Lee.
  come the last three days of this week, have the following specialties as only some of the good things to be introduce ed between the comedies and operas: T Love You Better Than AL" duet by the King sisters; "On the Boule- vard," by Frank Mallory and Mamie Emerson; ''Hot Tamale Alley" by Tom Brown; selections by Camille Caselle; Isham's Octoroon quartet, directed by May Brooks; Cripple Creek Gang, ," by George A. Hammond; -Four Little Tea Vendors from China," highly amusing quartet and "The Hottest Nigger in Town,'' by Bob Kelly, which is hilariously funny. Besides these, there are various other advertisements, all of which conclude with Thirty Minutes Around the Operas" Matinee on Saturday.

CLAN M4CLdBEN,o

His Early Career-A Pure Scot-Desire of His Father That He Should be a Minister One of the Foremost of British Preach ers-Writes But Never Reads His Ser mons.
 Dr. Robertson Nicoll, in an interest ing account of Rev. Dr. Watson, which appears in The Bookman, says that he is a pure Scot, although at the time of his birth the family were living in Eng land, his father, who held a high posi- tion in the Excise, being then stationed at Manningtree Essex Much of his childhood, however, was spent at Perth and Stirling. He was an only child and his father and mother were both remarkable personalities-the father strongly religious, profoundly interest," ed in religion, and a devoted elder of the Free church of Scotland His moth CT was of Highland birth. Though also firm in her religious convictions she was not, like her husband, an Eyangel- ical, but leaned rather to the highest type of Modernism. In due time young Watson went to Edinburgh university. He was a diligent student, with spec ial interest in the classics and in phi losophical studies. It was the strong wish of his father that he should be minister of the Free church, and he was willing, although he never felt the call to the ministry as some say they have felt 1t whose usefulness has certainly not been greater than his. He passed through the curriculum of the New Col lege, Edinburgh. After serving for a short time in Edinburgh as assistant to Rev. Dr. J. H. Wilson, he became mif- ister Of the Free church in Logical mond, in Perthshire, now so well known as Drumtochty, where an uncle of his had been minister before the Disrup- tion of 1S43. The congregation was very small but the work was pleasant, and the young minister made a close study of his people. It is noteworthy that while at Logiealmond he had lit erary plans very much in the line of those which were carried out twenty years later, but self-distrust held him back. A brilliant, popular preacher, he naturally soon received invitations to leave his quiet parish, and he ultimate ly accepted one from St. Matthews, in Glasgow, to be colleague of Dr. Samuel
  Miller. Three years later he became minister of a new Presbyterian church in Sefton Park, Liverpool, whose build ing is now crowded by one of the larg- est and most influential congregations in the city.
 Among British preachers of the younger generation MT. Watson holds foremost, if not the first place. AL though he writes his sermons, he does not read them, and he is a. speaker of extraordinary force and clearness. Touches of pathos are not infrequent in his sermons. but, as a rule, he avoids humor. It is two years since, on the suggestion os a friend, he commenced writing the sketches which have given him a worldwide fame. His devotion, however. is still to the pulpit, and his literary work he looks upon as quite secondary.

KNIGHTS OF HONOR.
To Discuss a Proposition for Separate
 Jurisdiction.

Jurisdiction.
 A prominent member of the Knights of Honor in this city said last night that within few weeks a union meet ing of committees representing the diff ferent Knights of Honor lodges in this state would be held, either in New Ha- ven or Meriden, to discuss the proposi- tion that the Connecticut membership break away from the main order and establish a separate jurisdiction. The various committees, he said, had al- ready been appointed and the meeting would be held as soon as the members of the Meriden committee desired to call it. The meeting will be held prior to the grand lodge meeting the latter part of this month. It is hoped that in this manner the attitude of all the lodges of the state on this question may be learned.
 It is now announced that if Connect icut forms a separate state Jurisdiction, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island are likely to follow. A local member has letter from Massa- chusetts saying they are willing to fol- low the lead of Connecticut.

DEATH OF eEonGE y. FA uLxNER.

Was a Well Known Prominent Man in
 This City Nearly Forty Years Ago-Died
 in Mexico Reoently-Sketch of His Life.
 News has just been received in this city of the death, at Oaxaca, near the City of Mexico, on September 13, of George L. Faulkner, formerly of this city. He was the son of the late Will liam Faulkner, who was manager of the Morning News, a newspaper pub lished in this city about thirty-five years ago, and which flourished for some time. He leaves a brother Will liam Faulkner, who is now living at Norwich, Conn. He was born in Gull ford, Conn.
 s. B. c. in the Norwich Bulletin says of the deceased: MT. F. w. Faulkner of Church street received letter from his niece in San Francisco on Friday announcing the death in the City of Mexico of her father and MT. Faulk- ner's brother, MT. George l.. Faulkner. The latter will be remembered by many of the older residents of Norwich, who will endorse the following fervent trib- ute to his memory, contributed to Town Talk of San Francisco:
 After battling with life with varied success for over sixty-three years, George l.. Faulkner, the printer, pub fisher, type founder and genial com rade of all the old-time professors of the Art Preservative' in California, surrendered to the Unconquerabl in the City of Mexico on the 18th of Sep tember. This announcement will be received with regret and sorrow by everyone identified with the printing interests of this coast, for George was a welcome visitor and on companionable terms with all It was the writer's pleasure, as it has been that of many others, to have known him for a period of nearly twenty-five years, and In so- cial and business relations I have all ways found the same high standard of sterling manhood maintained.
 The deceased was born in Norwich, Conn.,, February 27, 1883, and came to San Francisco in 1S49. He started the first newspaper published on the coast The Pacific News. He subsequently, became associated with his father, Will liam Faulkner, in the first type foundry started on the coast. The latter busi- ness, after a time, having been pur- chased by J. B. Painter, George Faulk- ner became connected with the firm of Miller & Richards, type founders of Scotland. It was while with this firm that he made his first trip to Mexico, and sinca that time, for more than twenty-two years, as a representative, respectively, of Palmer & Key and the American Type Founders company he has had full charge of the Mexican and Central American business. 1t was while on a trip of this nature that he contracted his last and fatal illness. MT. Faulkner was one of the first set tiers of Oakland, where his wife and daughter now reside, and he was life member of the California Pioneer so- ciety.
 Farewell, George! Your memory will be cherished dearly by those of us whom you have left behind and have but little farther to go.
 70 death, all eloquent! You only prove What dust we dote on, when 'tis man
 we love-"

Peck at the university last June, will take the course with him, going through the Brainard Milling company appren- ticeship and thence into the General Electric company. The course is a long and elaborate one, but will fit the young men for the best york in the General Electric company. Messrs. Peck and Underwood were chums at Yale and with them through the whole course at the Sheffield Scientific was fellow student, Leroy s. Lane of Mer- iden, son of Major John s. Lane of that city, but formerly of Hartford. The three students were the most inti- mate companions and spent the four years in New Haven in the closest and most friendly relationships. MT. Lane has engaged in business with his fla ther, and will devote his attention to the construction of good roads in the state. Major Lane has extensive stone works in Meriden and is one of the most widely known contractors in the state for the building of roads. He has recently received an important road contract here.
