known to San Francisco theater- goers. in
whose minds it is connected with former
performances by Joseph Murphy. All the
special features were well attended to last
night and the supporting company did
satisfactory work. The forge scene. where
one OF the racehorses is shod, was rea-
listic, and the trained pigeons did pretty
work IN the scene where they futter in
one after another, bringing bulletins from
the racetrack, where the heats are being
run on which depend the fortunes OF the
Drew family.
Joseph Murphy, who acts and makes up
much more youthfully than John Murphy,
was, OF course, the star of the perform
ance. John Daley in his little part of
Major Gruff raised many laugh. w. T.
Sheehan's performance of O'Drive. if
little overdrawn, was amusing. The work
done by the rest OF the cast calls for no
particular comment except that Miss
Emma Italia did a clever little turn" as
the jockey, with song ard dance.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Jan.
1.-For months past tie debaters entered
in the preliminary contest have been ran
sacking the book-shelves in the university
library collecting unanswerable argu-
ments. A larger number of students are
striving for place on the intercollegiate
debating team than during any previous
year. This is probably due to the fact
that Berkeley has carried off the debatiHg
honors the past two years and Stanford is
anxious to call halt In 1S93-94 Stanford
showed her superiority on the rostrum by
winning in both events. Then she lost
two contests aud the universities were
even. 1t now remains to be seen which
will carry off the odd point this year.

At the Orpheum.

The chief new feature of the Orpheum this
week is the Royal Hungarian Court orchestra,
which is likely 10 prove strong attraction TO
music lovers. The band, which consists of
strings and reeds, only contains nine musi-
clans all told. According TO the Hungarian
style they improYise their own orchestration,
and do it so effectively that they make the
effect of a much fuller orchestra than nine
men could be expected to produce. There is
all the vim, the light and shade and peculiar
catchy phrasing OF national Hungarian or
chestras in their work and every one knows,
who has heard Hungarian orchestra several
times, thai the charm or Its music grows on
the nearer with each successive performance.
On Sunday, its opening night, the Magyar
orchestra was we'll received. 1t opened in the
familiar overture to ''William 1elI,'' whicn
was PLAYED in a catchy manner. A concert
rhythmic swing, and the Hungarian Fan
TASTE" BY Berkes was characteristic piece o.
Magyar music, interpreted with the warmth
ard intensity that nothing out a native or
chestra could give il. Henry Macy, the first
VIOLIN did some attractive work in this
numb ber.
This type of music has been made very
familiar TO theater-goers here by the piece
which is played behind the scenes in the
foyer scene in s.Trilby," but the band which
tiecko was supposed 10 conduct die not play

TivoIi Opera House.

The second edition OF "Jack and the Bean
stalk" was presented at the Tiyoli last night
and several of the new features made quite g
hit. Miss Anna Suits singing OF an air that

Ferris Hartman and F. Vests duet, "All Over

popular lyric features G. the new edition.
: The real hit, however Swas Ferris Hartman's S
burlesque on The aerial ballet. The programme
invited the audience 10 keep as quiet as possi-
Bile during the performance of the grand
aerial ballet, as the artist might from any dis
turba1ce get OF the trolley; spectators were
also invited 10 try 10 discover the invisible
wire.
The wire which supported the fair Ferris,
who was arrayed in a costume OF q premiere,
was heavy seven-inch rope. Waited through
the air by this substantial support he per-
foimed the gyrations familiar TO admirers of
the aeriel ballet. AS an encore Hartman went
even further than the ladies who do the fl living
ballet act for he performed positive contor-
tlons and stood on mis- head in the air.

At the AIcazar.

"Chispa" was given q very good production
by the stock company, the scenic effects being
very good.
George Osbourne undoubtedly made the best
of the performance. It is almost impossible
to say any thing of this clever man that has
not been said before. His realistic portrayal
of the Digger Indian is well known. He re-
ceived curtain call and his every exit was
followed by storm OF applause
Another clever character study was given by
John Armstrong as DR.. Jones' the oracle OF
the camp. His impersonation of the rugged
old coward made quite q hit with the audi
ence. Hugo Toland, though suffering from
slight huskiness, played the part of Zeke
Stevens we'll.

Gordon Foster had little to do, but did it

MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION
WILL MEET FRIDAY TO SELECT AN
ORATOR.
Fallen Heroes of the Lost Cause to
Be Fittingly HOnOred April
26th.

The ladies of the Memorial Associa-
tiOn have called a meeting for half
past three O'Clock sharp Friday after
noon, in the Sunday school room of the
Methodist church, for 1.-The purpose of
selecting an orator for memorial day
and taking steps towards perfect
ing permanent organization having
for its object the protection and beau
tlfylng of our cemetery. 1t is move
along right lines, and THE News hopes
that the ladies will respond to this call
and organize for the work. Then it
will be done.
The work of the Memorial Associa-
tiOn has heretofore devolved upon a
few, who, enlisting all their energies
in the cause, have kept it alive. But
it is to be hoped that now, with this
double purpose in view, all ladies of
the city will respond and honor them
selves and the town by helping to hon
or those who gave their lives, in de-
tense of their homes and princlple
they believed to be right.
Then, too, Dawson's cemetery needs
attention. In places it is grown up in
weeds, the graves have fallen in and,
covered over with briars, are the abode
of the toad and the lizard, loathsome
to the sight and disgusting to the
thought. This is a splendid oppor-
tunity for our people to show the hui
manity in them, and it is earnestly
hoped by the Memorial Association
that they will respond and reclaim
the cemetery from its present dilapi-
dated condition. 1t is true the coun-
Gil are charged with the care of the
cemetery, but when they have done
their duty as the law directs much is
left to be done land this, if left to men
will never be done. The ladies do not
know what failure is, and if they take
this matter in hand, as they now pro-
pose to do, Dawson will, In a short time
have the prettiest and best kept GENE
terry in Georgia.
Let all respond to the call of the la
dies, and remember the time and place

O'Clock in the Sunday school room OF
the Methodist church.
