Clean Plays Of Histrionic Ability
Will Tend to Elevate
the Mind.
Keen Discrimination Is Necessary AS
in All Other Things Affecting
Human Morals.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
90S Broadway, Feb. 2.

oOO 11Od0Nay Gu }
Rev. Philip Graft spoke on 1.-THE Thea
ter'' tonight at the First Baptist Church.
He said:
Do the prudential ethics of Christianity
taboo the playhouse altogether, or is there a
safe, WISE golden mean of discrimination :?
Mere anstere Puritanism is nc sign of strength,
nor Is contempt or narrow restrietiveness an
answer to fair logic.
OF course, ii the drama is inherently bad
the sooner its obscene lips are Silenced and its
transparently yelled nudities are decently
draped the better, but if il is constitutionally
grounded in human nature the quicker we
give our aid to refine and elevate its art and
literature the more valuable viii it become as
q moral Yehlcle for the culture OF humanity.
No doubt the trashy, fiesh-unted stuff that
mas too often glittered and pirouetted and
bawled across The stage, along with certain
green-room scandals and other Iloisome things
nave made large body OF the Christian pub
llc look askance at the theatre and fight shy of
Its seducuons and its fg-leaf tendencies of
wardrobe. Rightly used, the playhouse might
De made handmade OF religion, and instead
OF hotbed OF vice or Illicit sensation, might
be converted into something of a porch of
ethical philosophy or q school OF virtue.
II OF ola Christian truth was often dramati-
cally represented by a series of passion plays
IN the churches, why should histrionic genius
II USED tor lofty purposes be frowned upon or
stlgmatiZed? Really our law of action should
be TO conserve the good and spew out the evil
or, IN other word, TO transform the smirched
ana Ieper-spotted into a healthy ministry of
pure, unalIoyed happiness and progress. Even
Christ himself did not disdaih TO create his
parallels, which in many respects were mas
terly and exquisite little pocket dramas Illus
trating heavenly principles by all the fascina-
tlon and spell OF earthly incident and adyen-
ture
IL is not figuring at haphazard to say that
tne worlds greatest seven masterpieces of the
drama are deep studies of conscience and duty
and make strict obedience to the oracles OF the
skies their holy dominant note.
But sun this broad recognition of the essen
ual dramatic element in nature and life does
not blur the moralist's keen-eyed vision as 10
the hurts and harms OF indiscriminate theater-
going.
Though recreation is at times an iron neces-
slty II is questionable whether the average
iootiight flashes OF the day afford our youth a
safe or wholesome form OF entertainment. In
moral discipline 1t is better to be q little too
strict than to be trifie too flabbily lax. In
snort, whatever tends 10 purify motive, stimu-
late noble impulses or exalt manhood or glorify
humanity, promote. and champion that but
Whatever tres unholy passions, lowers the
moral tone or devitalizes piety, that either alb
nor ana shun, or, better still, by Gods grace
try to convert from demon of sin and error
into an angel of light and goodness.

Choynski to pose, uniform and all, and
the portrait bust which has resulted from
the sittings has filed Rupert Schmid with
enthusiasm
sit is so much better to have a young,
live subject he said yesterday as he con-
tenn plated the manly head of Choynski,
wrought in clay. With malice afore-
thought the sculptor had placed his new
work beside the head of an antique million
alre, who waited till he had lost his teeth
and had acquired q triple chin before
making up his mind to go down to
posterity in plastic clay.
He had lost everything that constitutes
good looks, and should be in the cellar,
where 1 put most of the old chromos,'
said the sculptor. "He serves as foil to
Choynski, though. The face of the colonel
IS perfect, the shape of the nose, the length
OF the chin and of the foreheadl They are
all on .Ireek lines, and il one only models
MN Just as he is one has a perfect
specimen of faultless face and head"
Rupert Schmid never tires of extoliing
the specimen of manly beauty he has been
so fortunate as to capture in It's prime. He
says he hopes Colonel Choynski's bust
will teach people not TO wait till they are
dead to be modelled. "He is a very bril-
liant man, and if he ever becomes Cover
nor OF the State or President of the repub-
lie L shall become famous through this
bust" said Rupert Schmid. "Look at a
man like Grover Cleveland, - he continued.
There is no great qualification in model
Ing him now; his face has run to flesh.
But if Grover had had the good sense to
foresee that he would become famous and
had been modelled while he was yet young,
the sculptor who did the work would have
shone with reflected glory"

THE SUNDAY BALLOONS.
One Ascent Was Not Made, the Other
Followed by an Accident.

One Ascent Was Not Made, the Other
Followed by an Accident.
The fates have been against Mile. Viola,
the Empress of the air" for the first time
she attempted to make an ascent from the
Halght-street grounds she fell. The Sec
ond time she was announced to rise sky
ward the rain came down in torrents Yes
terday when her balloon was about in
f1ated it caught fire and the ascent had to
be postponed. She was offered another
balloon, but as it was as full of holes as
porous plaster she declined to use it.
Another balloonatic, Otto Burke, volun-
teered to make an ascent, so the bag was
filled and when it was cut loose he rose
about five hundred feet and as he was
crossing the chute lake it commenced to
sink. Burke cut loose, expecting to come
down in the lake, but the parachute did
not open fast enough and he was carried a
little beyond it and in descending struck
against the fence, iniuring his left arm and
leg.
There has been considerable jealousy
among those who go up in the air, and il
was reported on the grounds yesterday
that there had been some jobbery to pre-
vent Miss Viola from making the ascent
and that the burning of the balloon was
not an accident pure and simple.

GLOOM IN THE POOLROOMS.
An Expose That Shows the Keepers of

GLOOM IN THE PooLRO0Ms

Perhaps the downtown poolrooms will
not get the results of the Ingleside races
SO readily as they are at present boasting
that they will do. One of their latest and
most ingenious attempts at beating the
management was yesterday effectually
nipped in the bud.
The keepers OF the downtown poolroom
Joints have been strutting about of late

The various dens about town are now in
the enjoyment of splendid telegraphic
service. A wire leased from the California
Jockey Club that runs to San Jose gives
them the full results of the races at the
Bay District track. 1t will be remem-
bered that during the last racing period
at Ingleside track the Pacific Coast Jockey
Club folks learned that the poolrooms were
getting the results of their races by having
them wired from the interior towns where
poorooms were running.
To obviate this, the Jockey Club leased

DIR. Ollie ON POOLRoOMs
He Utters Strong Words Against the
Proposal to License That Form
of Gambling.

Rev. DR.. e. r. Ollie of the Central Meth
odist Church delivered a scathing sermon
last evening on the "The Latest Infamy,
the Proposal to License Gambling"
The preacher introduced his subject by
saying that the gambling instinct was
almost the strongest in human nature,
that 1t lies dormant in every mans heart,
and that when awakened it entirely en-
slaves and ruins its follower.
When this fire burns in mans heart"
said the speaker, sit leaves nothing beau
tifuI in his nature. Gam bling in its
essence is theft; it is on the same plane as
picking pockets. The community which
tolerates gambling can have no morality
in its social circles and no integrity in its
commercial circles.
81 wish the parents of this CITY would
teach their children that to drop a nickel
in one of these internal nickel-in- -the-slot
machines is gambling, and to put money
IN that fool trap, the Louisiana lottery, is
gambling.
There is one form of gambling that has
become dominant in our City-that is
racetrack gambling. The unclean birds of
heaven and earth gorge themselves at the
racetrack.
"a good starter is paid higher salary
than Judge on the Supreme Bench.
"This species of gambling surpasses as a
crime breeder even the Louisiana lottery.
\ nSIC 10 WnICn uOiQS up SO MANY
inducements to young men to gamble
with their employers money as the pool
rooms.
These gambling institutions have been
driven out of nearly every Eastern city,
and now, following the lines of the least
resistance, they have come to the wild and
woolly West. And now Supervisor has
come forward with resolution to saddle
this baneful evil on our fair City. There
could be no greater outrage than this. 1t
seems to me that San Francisco has suf-
fered enough already without this new
blot on It's escutcheon.
sDoes it follow that we should license
poolselling because it cannot be sup
pressed? Because we cannot suppress the
devil, should we license him and give to
him all the traffic can bear2
"Shall we say that we will stand by and
aid you while you succeed in the ruin of
our sons and bring their mothers to a
grave of sorrow?
"Poolrooms can be suppressed as we'll
as thieVery or opium-smoking. Even if
these be carried on in secret, still they are
not publicly sanctioned and have not such
debauching influence on the young

MANY WOMEN SINGERS.
Flcurishing First Meeting of the New
College Settlement Movement Held
in the Broadway School

The new vocal society known as the
Noman's Singing Class of 1896 met at
the Broadway Grammar School Yesterday
afternoon for its first practice.
An attendance and enrolment OF ninety
SIX persons attest the general and active
interest already awakened in the move
ment that was inaueurated only ten days
ago by Miss Jean Parker, principal of the
Broadway Grammar School, and Mrs. C.
L. Bonestell,
The object of the class is to furnish all
lovers of vocal music an opportunity to
come together for an hour ever Sunday
afternoon and practice upon the compost
tIon OF the masters. 1t is a gratuitous
attempt to foster the love of music, par
hcularly among those who are too much
occupied through the week to devote the
time necessary to continue and improve
the knowledge of singing they may have
acquired earlier. The bylaws require a
payment OF cents at each meeting, the
proceeds being devoted to the preparation
of the sheet music and to the janitress'
fee, which are tie only expenses. Anv
surplus that may accrue will be devoted
to the purchase of wall charts to sing from.

He Once Owned the Site of johannesburg

He Once Owned the Site of Johannesburg
1t is curious commentary upon the in
stability of human affairs that the former
owner of the entire CITY OF Johannesburg
now lies confirmed invalid in the work
house infirmary of the quaint old market
town of Guildford in Surrey. The old man
seems to have had most remarkable
career. He was in the service of the East
India Company, fought in the Crimea,
was seriously wounded at Sebastopol, and
afterward passed through the Indian
mutiny. He then went to South Africa,
where he fought against the Zulus and the
Beers before the Transvaal was made oves
to them. He bought for $3.50, his accumu-
lated savings, over $4,000 acres of land
near the source of the Limpopo, where he
made up his mind to ultimately settle, but
war broke out, he took up arms against
the Beers, and formed one of the party
who held Pretoria against them. In 1880,
when the republic was declared, he refused
service under President Kruger, and the
consequence was that his land, upon
portion of which the Transyaal city of
Johannesburg now stands. was forfeited.
Thus the old man who lies dying without
penny in the world Just escaped being
'.rlch beyond the dreams of avarice. -

CANNERY FOR HAYwARDs.
Big Inducements Are offered BY the
Board of Trade.

Big Inducements Are offered BY the
Board of Trade.
OAKLAND, CAL, Feb. AT a special
meeting of the Haywards Board OF Trade
the question of having a cannery located
at that town was discussed.
Mr.. Johnson of San Francisco said he
had been delegated to represent certain
capitalists of San Francisco who were de-
sirous of locating cannery at Haywards.
He said he was instructed to attend the
meeting and fiud out what inducements
the Board of Trade would guarantee.
The committee appointed for that pur.
pose stated the inducement offered to Mr.
Schammel a canner was to give him the
use of Estudillo Square, They were will
ing to give any other responsible party the
same terms.
Mr.. Begier stated that P. E. Bowles, of
Oakland, was authority for the statement
that Mr.. Hickmoth. the Oakland Gamer,
had orders for 60, 600 cases of fruit which
he could not fill. Most OF the fruit canned
by the Hickmoth Company was grown in
the vicinity of San Leandro. He consid-
cred the inducement offered one of the
very oest. The general opinion was that
it would be well for the parties desirous of
starting cannery to meet the Board of
Trade. and Delegate Johnson undertook
to arrange for such meeting in the nea-
future.

OPIUM Den IN THE HILLS,

Threatened With Death by

9OS Broadway, Feb. 2.
A young man who delivers goods for an
East Oakland grocer had an experience
few days ago that he will not soon forget.
he was taking goods as usual to afhouse
located In the billy region where Thirty
sixth and Commerce streets cross. He
has always been met at the door by one
of the occupants, but on the last occasion
his knock was unheeded and he walked in
and deposited his goods on the floor.
TO his great surprise he found that the
house was an opium joint, fitted up with
hunks. and in nearly every one of them
was an occupant either smoking or asleep.
No sooner had he looked around than one
of the fellows rushed toward him and
pushed him to the door. He told the lad
that if ever he told any one of what he had
seen he would probably be found some
morning dead. He took himself away as
last as possible and has not been near the
place since.
The house is an ordinary looking cabin,
but 1t is frequented by very hard set
Among those who frequented it was
Thomas Lamb. the desperate who was
shot dead by Officer Andrews while trying
to escape from custody couple of weeks
ago. His brother still gees there. and an
other habitue is young fellow well
known to the police named Tye. 1t is
stated that the mother of one of the boys
owns the place. When its locality was
made known to the police it was stated to
be outside their jurisdiction, as it is just
beyond the city limits.
Now that its existence is known, the
opium joint will doubtless be suppressed.
as it is within few blocks of the Baptist
California College.
