At the Orpneum.

Three new teams made their bow at the
Orpheum last night They were Van Auken,
McPhee and Hill, trio of gymnasts. who did
some exceptionally clever tricks on the triple
horizontal bar; Lillian Leslie and Don NJ
Carr, operatlc and descriptive singers, and
the kaffas, equilibrsts. Lillian Leslie's pretty
little "coon" song was well received. and Miss
Cam gave pretty rendering of "Sweet Alice,
Ben Bolt" Together they sang some OF the
usual descriptive songs about organ sere-
nades aud pretty best girls.
Barton and Askley appear on the bill as a
new team, but turn out 10 be the same couple
that did THE Tramp and the Brakeman"
act asst week. The lady of the team is possessed
of an unpleasantly loud voice, and her singing
might easily be dispensed with without
injuring the act much.
Little Leola Mitchell is rapidly creeping
into the hearts of the pu bile, and she does not
ave to ask the boys to whistle now. They
don't wait TO be asked.
the Hungarian Boys Military Band is still
delighting the audiences. Last night its Sc
lections were hardly well chosen. The little
fellows do SO well with some of the pretty soft
pieces they pay that it seems a shame to de-
vote one whole evening to brass and not give
the reed instruments a chance.
Stanly Whiting and Smith and Campbell
conclude the bill.

BEAT A HORSE TO DEATH.
Gross Brutality of Paul Friedh ofer, a
Burly Blacksmith.

Gross Brutality Of Paul Friedh ofer, a
Burly BIacksmith.
The attention of Secretary Holbrook of
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals is drawn to a case of gross bru-
tality that occurred in the Mission last
evening.
Paul Freebooter is q blacksmith at 351
Third street and lives at 1904 Howard
street. He is powerful man.
While driving with friend last evening,
near Twen tieth stree, and Treat avenue,
the horse he was driving baked. Fried
hofer becoming enraged got piece of
scanLling. 6 feet long and 2x4 thick. and
struck the horse with all his strength with
the cantling-raining blow after blow till
the horse sank upon the ground.
The fiend then got piece OF gaspipe and
belabored the dying animal. Fried
hofer, after satisfying himself that the
poor brute was dead, jumped upon its
head with his feet and in brutal frenzy
continued the exercise for several minutes.
Officer Keardon has the names of abo ut
dozen witnesses, who expressed their
Willingness to appear in court and testify
against Friedhofer.

Tiyoll Opera-House.

There was a big house last night to greet the
two successful little operas, La Cavalleria
Rusticana," and "1 Pagliacci," and applause
was well in evidence all evening.
Both operas were well cast. In the "Cayal-
leria" Thomas surprised even his friends by
the force and warmth of his singing Turridu,
the fh1 thiess tenor.
Nine. Selma Kronold, the Ssntuzza, took
what might he called rather more vixenish
conception OF the part than has yet been seen
here. The plot is based on a police court
story, however, and in these days of reais m

guished precedent i'll playing peasants part

supporters to have him reinstated failed in
the Board of Regents.

"The Twelve emptations," an awful exam
pie of the wondrous endurance of the ever
lasting chorus girl, "hit the boards" at the
Columbia last evening.
The man who perpetrated the dozen tempta'
tions has hid himself under buShel OF lime
light, ancient transformation scenes and the
exhilarating fun to be derived from seeing one
man kick another when he is down. With
wonderful tact he has concealed the plot OF
his extravaganza-the mptations-unless
they be the Lydia Thompson mem bers OF the
ballet.
The intentions of the management, however.
have been good. In the Arctic scenes iclcles
are plentiful; in the golden grotto the Kion-
d1ke's glitter is surpassed, and as for fairy and
mortal they have been treated with COM
mendaple justice and given the same scaaly

Los Angeles Tied the Score, but Were
Unable to Keep Up Their
Good Work.

Los Angeles lost TO the Alerts yesterday
owing to their inability to bat. The
southern players put up their usually fine
fielding game. but when it came to stick
work they were sadly deficient.
Moskimon pitched a steady game for
the Alerts. holding the visitors down
to SIX hits.
In the first inning O'Kane led off for the
Alerts and was given a base on balls
Mangerni held the ball until the batter
was anchored on first, and when he laid
off he sent the sphere to first with great
speed, catching O'Kane and retiring him.

game.
