The attendance was immense last night at
amusement. By the time the performance
comm enced money could not purchase seat
and standing room was literally at q pre-
MUM.
The great attraction of the company with
the imposing name of the Hopkins Trans
Oceanic Star Speciality Company consists OF
the Rossand brothers, who are already known
familiarly in this City as the midgets. They
are wonderful pair of mannikins, scarcely
higher than an average-Sized mans knee.
Their manager stretches his arms out and
one STANDS on each hand. The little fellows.
who perform on G raised platform, go through
all the tricks of trained acrobats. besides going
through really scientific three-round sparring
match in a ring with the American flag at one
corner and the British at the other. This is to
intimate tnat they represent Corbett and
Mitchell. The midgets talk f1uently in French,
German and English.
Among the other "turns" Apollo proved to
be graceful performer on the wire Clayton
and company introduced the trained donkey
Jasper. Edward and Josie Evans gave little
entertainment as two children, in which Josie
proved herself a new woman by making Ed
ward sing small. The Namedo brothers were
very clever pan tomimists. One of them took
the part of dummy lady, to which the other
two made love, and every one thought he was
dummy from the way they tossed him about.

Ford and Francis proved to be a very good

.REPAVE MARKET STREET..
Wheelmen Of This City to Garry
the Petition on Their
Bikes.
The Cycle Board of Trade Adopt a
Blacklist" for Dishonest Pur.
chaSerS.

"Repave Market street" will be the '96
cry and prayer of the wheelmen of San
Francisco, and to keep the request con.
stantly before the public they will carry a
card with those printed words on their
machines.
This was the idea of Edwin Mohrig at
meeting of the directors OF the Cycle Board
of Trade at the Varney Cyclorama, corner
Market and Tenth streets, last evening.
He also incorporated in his motion to
have a great number of small ''stickers"
with those words printed on them.
"My proposition" said he, sis to paste
these little bills on every thing that will
hold them. Get all the bicycle riders IN
this City to bill every square foot of the
whole blessed town until we get a btu
minous pavement on Market street."
The motion was carried unanimously by
the board of directors, and it was ordered
that all bicycle-dealers and others be re-
quested to use those magic words on their
printed matter; also to have cuts made of
the same for the newspapers, and endeavor
to have advertisers use them in their
space.
Under the subject of uninishedIbusiness
before the board was the report of a COM
| mittee which had been appointed to in
quire into the best means of protecting
dealers from dishonest and irresponsible
installment buyers.
The committee recommended that a
| blacklist be made out by the secretary of
the Cycle Board of Trade and the names
! furnished to all dealers and proprietors of
| cycleries as is being done in the East. 1t
was incorporated in the recommendation
to add to this the names of those
who abused the privilege of the guarantee
| and tempted by the leverage OF influence
in the clubs to obtain free concessions
from dealers. It was explained in this re-
lation that often buyers would come back
after months of use of a wheel and de-
mand changes upon threats OF blacklisting
J that make at their respective clubs or
| among their friends.
! 1t was resolved by the board that the
wheelmen of this city work in unity for
three objects, VIZ: % Repave Market
street; (2) light the park; (3) advocate
| the adoption of the new city charter. The
| secretary was ordered 10 notify ali cycle
organizations of this proposition and in
vite their cooperation.
| 1t was also ordered that all advertising
be confined to the daily papers and cycle
! publications, and that no space would be
| taken in circulars, programmes or in any
| of the advertising schemes constantly
| being suggested to bicycle dealers.
| Neither would wheels be donated
| for gate or other prizes to picnics or
like functions. 1t was suggested that the
| Chief of Police be requested to detail an
| officer to visit pawnbroker-shops d ally and
ascertain the make and number of wheels
| left there as pledges and notify the deal
| ers of the same.
| Upon motion E. T. Allen e. Co. and
Huestin & Merton were appointed as men,
bers of the board and the meeting ad-
iourned to next Monday evening.

point in connection with the recent public
debate between Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper and
the rabbi, it is printed in full, as follows:
TO the Editor of the San Francisco CaIl.-SIR:
The Rabbi Voorsanger, in his debate with Mrs.
Cooper and Miss Anthony stated that: ssWe
know what took place in ancient Rome when
women stood at the head of politics and let
ters''
fear the rabbi is as far off in his Roman his
tory as he was in that of Isabella of CASTLE. 1t
may be remembered that he described Isabella
as "clasping crucifix to her cnfldless breast'
Isabella, to whom it was well known, we chiefly
owe the discovery OF America, was the distin-
guished mother of such Well-knoWn daugh-
ter as Katherine of Aragon, not to speak of
her other children.
Who were the Roman women that once stood
high in letters The Roman women were
and there is not a pen from one to defend her
sex against the vile ISLANDERS of the corrup
writers of that corrupt age.
The Roman woman held her very life at the
will of father or husband. Her consent was
never asked in marriage. She walked from
the bondage of her father to the bondage of
her husband. There was no law to defend any
woman that went out on the streets unat-
tended. This was the origin of the custom in
all Latin countries where respecta BILE girls and
women never walk on the streets even in
broad daylight alone.
The Roman women were in complete sub
ordination. If they developed the art of de-
ceit treachery and intrigue, as some did these
s.avement. Never ertheless we know that when
their tyrants sought to fasten on them the uu-
just edict that no daughter could inherit any
part of her fathers wealth, they combined,
and headed by Cato s wife stormed the Sena tie
until the obnoxious law was repealed.

stage. The piece is not new one, being
already in its eleventh season, but it seems to
take amazingly, and Mr.. Kendall seems to
have sense enough not to tinker it up by sand
wiching in any new features. AS it Is, the
piece is perfect in its way, being mixture of
comedy, vaudeville, pantomime and farce,
oharmingly combined in delightful and by
no means inartistic ensemble. Plot there is
none but amusing situations abound. The
stage settings are fresh and appropriate, and

Mr. Kendall as Jiles Button does wonders

leanings toward football, is quite revelation.

scenic effects are very realistic, the moonlight

TRIED TO END HER LIFE.
Mrs. Josephine Oman Throws Hers elf
In Front of a Cable Car.

III CaDle-Car.
Mrs. Josephine Oman, widow living
on South avenue and street, South San
Francisco, has been driven insane through,
it is claimed, the persistent ANNOYANCE and
persecution of her neighbors.
Yesterday morning she threw herself in
front OF cable-car at the ferry and was
dragged off the track in time to save her
from being crushed under the wheels. She
was taken TO the Harbor police station
and from there to the Receiving Hospital.
She was placed in padded cell.
Mrs. Oman's immediate neighbors are
Mrs. Mary Glashen and Mrs. ThoraI. A
week ago last Monday Mrs. Oman and
Mrs. Glashen had some trouble about a
ditch and next morning Mrs. Glashen
swore out warrant in Judge Lows court
for Mrs. Omaa's arrest on the charge of
battery. The case was heard by Jud ge
Low on Thursday and was dismissed.
Mrs. Oman has two grown-up daughters
who work in the City. Yesterday after
noon one of them, accompanied by a lady
friend, called at the hospital to see her
was very affecting.
MY mother has been driven insane by
the persecution of her neighbors - said
the daughter. "As my sister and I work
in the City, she is left alone at home. and
they constantly annoy her. When she
was arrested last Tuesday she was nearly
out OF her mind, and it has so preyed upon
her that she is now, suppose. insane.
"She lett home this morning with the
intention of going to Oakland to see some
friends, as We thought the change might
do her good, and l suppose that was when
she threw herself in front of the car.

for driving my poor mother out OF her

At the California.

Roland Reed. the popular comedian, opened
his season at the California last evening in his
new comedy, 'The Politician" Needless to
say it is an American play. The title alone
must convey that information.
"The Politician" sparkles with wit, happy
repartee and gay badinage. The characters
stand out in bold relief and with marked con-
trast. General Josiah Timber has his Peter
Wooley, and Cleopatra tSturgiss her Anna
Woolley. A fetching song and striking
dances are neatly dovetailed in the second act,
and, taken altogether, the satirical comedy
has much to recommend 1t.
The cast is worthy the play. Reed has sur
rounded himself with a splendid company, a
rare treat for play that boasts star. Isadore
Rush, as the new woman, is captivating and
fetching. Were all "new" women as charming
as she and did all wear such stunning newt
