''Leap-Year March," dedicated to the
Young Ladies Saturday Morning Or
chestra, by Mabel Crabtree, talented
young violinist of Oakland, member OF
the Saturday Morning Orchestra of San
Francisco and also of the Congregational
Orchestra of Oakland.
Rudolph Aronson, during his recent
trip abroad, composed a military march
entitled "For Love or War" dedicated to
the Seventh Regiment, n. 6. S. n. Y.
Also characteristic piece entitled "Plck-
anlnny Serenade," and song for May
Irwin entitled Honey, Meet Ne, Do. "
"For Love or War" was performed by the
military bands at the Berlin exposition.
One of the latest local candidates for
public favor in the dramatic line and one
who gives promise is Miss Retena Helen
Owens. She has just finished a course OF
study in school of practical acting. Miss
Owens has been engaged for number OF
readings, the first one being before the
Vermonters' Association at Odd Fellows
Hall, August IA. Miss Owens has excep-
tional dramatic talent which has met local
recognition. Very likely she will be San
Francisco's next contribution to the stage.
At the Baldwin Theafer Monday,
August II, will be seen 1.-THE Gay Pari-
sians," which for 200 nights crowded
Hoyt's Theater in New York, and for two
months filled the Boston Museum, and
was declared the greatest comedy success
Charles Frohman has yet given to the
public. This comedy is an adaptation of
the French farce 81 Hotel du Libre Ex-
change" which is now in its second
season in Paris. Though in the adaptation
none of the spice has been eliminated,
there is said to be nothing which would
prove offensive to polite ears. The
original company, headed by w. ]. Fergu-
son, will be seen here. W. ]. Ferguson,
James o. Barrows, Charles B. Wells, w.
R. Shirley, Amy Busby, Mrs. E. ]. Phil
lips, Margaret Gordon and others will
come with tho Gay Parisians" company.

formation artist and his talent as a come
dian. The adventures of ''gay old boy"
are set forth and the scene is laid in
restaurant, where the gay old man is hav-
ing lots of fun. until discovered by his
wife, who at once proceeds to make life
interesting to all. As usual, Boudi plays
all the parts himse changing from one
character to another with wonderful ra-
pidity. Lydia Yeamans Titus has new
songs to Introduce. Her clever comedy
work is a feature. Herr Techow's per-
forming cats are star attraction, and
are as interesting to old folks as to the
little men and women who attend the
matinees. Ross Snow has new song
which he wants to try on the people of
this City, and he will do it this week.
The bill is altogether one of the strongest
vet offered. Matinees Wednesday, Satur-
day and Sunday.

The Chutes have been literally patron
lied during the pleasant weather and the
popularity of tn place is on the increase
every day. Tue performances given every
afternoon in the Casino draw large audi
ences. ana Joe Storms,' the educated
orang-outang, has made thousands of
friends during his weeks sojourn in the
City. He will be on exhibition for another
week.
The new tunnel on the 3600-foot scenic
rail way is completed and the ride is much
m ore exciting and interesting than for
merly.
AS an additional attraction this after
noon at 4:30 O'Clock there will be balloon

which is transformed later into parlor

quite famous as a songstress both abroad
and at home, will appear in operate and
simple songs as well. She should prove
an attractive feature to all lovers OF pleas

Grand Opera-House.

This afternoon and evening the final
performances of ''Mr. Barnes of New
York" with the popular "California Boy, 4"
James NJ. Brophy, in the title role, will be
given at this house. 1t is to be followed
tomorrow by another very celebrated
drama, Mckee Rankin s 1.-The Danites." !"
1t is some years since this excellent piece
has been produced in San Francisco, and
its presentation on Morosco's great stage
with an actor like Brophy in the leading
role of Alexander Mckee, ls likely to
prove an event. The other strong part in
the story, the dual one of "Billy Pipers'
and Nancy Williamss' will be played by
May Nannary, who has been specially en-
gagged for the production.
There are some very effective character
parts in the cast which will be taken by
Frank Hatch, Fred Butler and Leslie
Morosco. The latter plays a Cinnamon,
"W ashee Washee," and is likely to make
a great hit in it. Some new specialties
will be introduced by Gilbert and Goldie,
and little Nina Cook will sing a song
written expressly for her entitled "The
Sun Shines On My Honey" Elaborate
new scenery has been prepared for this
production, which, all things considered,
is likely to create quite sensation.

Columbia Theater.

Wilton Lackaye will make his first ap-
pearance at the Columbia Theater to-
morrow evening with the Fraw ley
Company as Sias K. Wolcott in "a Gold
Mine," and Louise Thorndyke Boucicault
will also appear. She will take the role of
Honorable Mrs. Meredith. The attraction
will be strong. The sGold Nine" which
was written by Brander Matthews and
George A. Jessop, has pretty story, which
is told as follows:
Sila5 Wolcott. a Californian, has five
months OF successful dickering in London
with Sir Everard Foxwood, an English
capitalist, as to the price of goi0 mine
which he wishes to sell him. In the course
of his stay he falls in love with Mrs.
Meredith, the baronet's widowed sister
Through natural good-heartedness and
love for Mrs. Meredith he parts with his
mine for 10000 to meet the debts of
George Foxwood, a nephew of his inamo-
rata. This self-sacri6ce, which amounts
almost to heroism, as it takes his last
penny. causes Mrs. Meredith to return his
affections and the scheme of Sir Everard
Foxwood to turn the purchase of the
mine to his own peculiar advantage at the
expense of his associates is checkmated by
clever move on the part of Mrs. Mere
dlth An incidental love story is also in
troduced, in which the baronet's daughter
and an Irish member of Parliament are
the principals. The cast complete is as

The California.

At the California tomorrow evening
Chauncey Olcott will appear in "Mavour-
neen." OF this play it IS said that it con-
'tains bright melodies, lovely story well
tod and lots of fun. OF "Mavourneen"
the New York Times says: Chauncey Oh
colt, who plays the part of Terrence
Dwyer, created by the demented Scanlan,
is an actor who has surprised even his
most intimate acquaintance in this, his
latest attempt. His broeue is delightful
and all in all Manager Pitou would have
had much trouble in procuring a come
dian who could portray the character bet
ter than Olcott, who combines the grace
of Dixey with the sympathetic force of
Scanlan in his prime. His songs were en-
cored again and again, the sweet tenor
voice being listened to with rapt attention.
The cast is an excellent one.

Orpheum this week will be troupe of
female acrobats who were discovered in

decided hit in New York. They are the
Nelson sisters. They claim to perform all
the feats essayed by male teams. To set

THE DYNAMITE Alarm

II the exceedingly sensational so.caled
dynamite plot which the enterprising off :
Gals of Scotland Yard, London, profess to
declare is true, has not frightened the Gear
of Russia awfully and given Queen Victoria
aud the other members of the royal family
of England Mysteries, then our knowledge
OF human nature is this time at fault Surely
the Gar must still be trembling in his boots,
and Queen Victoria's life has probably been
shortened by her excessive agitation. How
ever, their niajesties ought to be accustomed
to dynamite plots and explosives by this
time.
The enterprise of police officials causes
people to revel in such so-called "disclos
ures," and as the statement given by the
Scotland Yard officials is merely "a COM
munication of semi-official character" it
would be wise to wait for further partcu
lars, as the present reports sound grossly ex.
aggerated and do not have the ring of truth
about them.
We are told that the "diabolical plot" was
Matched in America by gang of despera.
does composed Of Irishmen, Russians, &c.
The cablegrams from London declare that
Fenians in the United States inspired the
movement But these are mere assertions
although the London cablegrams persist
that the plot was Matched in this country,
