ADJUSTMENTS.

The "Chimmie Fadden" Company
had crowded house at the Metropol-
itan Theater last night. 1t is strange
how any scenes from low life in a great
city presented in dramatic form
draw" There is an unaccountable at
traction for the people in all plays OF
that order We think, however, that
"Chimmie Fadden" must have been
rather disappointing to those who ex-
pected it TO move upon the lower levels
wholly. The truth is that while the
play has very little, if any, literary
merit, it is strong in its contrasts. and
very tender. and altogether original in
It's sentiment. Really. 1t is the very
simple story of a Bowery boy who was
better than his environment. and hav-
ing luckily fallen in with people who
befriended him proved a hero of loyalty
to his benefactors who moved in a So
cial atmosphere far above his sur
roundings. After the second act the
piece drops out of the Bowery at
a mansion of refinement, where CHM
mie. the Eowery boy, manages. bung-
ingly but very humorously. a love
match foT the young woman to whom
he was deeply indebted, and proves that
there is good mettle in his composition
by the stalwart refusal to bring shame
upon those he loved, even to save him.
self from the complication of circum-
stances that pointed TO him as the per-
petrator Of a crime. Mr.. Hopper, as
Chimmie. is a clever character actor
and pleasant ballad singer. But far
and away the best character acting in
this play is that Of Mrs. Marie Bates,
as Mrs Murphy. the topper, and by Mr..
Nash as Paul, the young man disap-
pointed In love who finds solace for all
woes in small bottle"

NOW AND THEN"
Mrs. Clara Hoffman's Lecture on the
Work of the w. G. T. u.

Mrs Clara G.. Hoffman of Missouri
Is no pessimiSt on the future of TINS
country, in any particular, and is en-
phatic in her declaration that the tenn
perance cause is advancing.
She gave a very interesting lecture
last night in the Ninth street Baptist
Church. Now and Then" in which
she spoke of the success that had been
achieved by the work of the ". {, l.
L., since its organization.
Mrs. Hoffman referred to the fact
that when railways We're first started
in this country, it was not unusual TO
gee an engineer helped into the cab of
his locomotive and start on his run in
ar almost helpless state of intoXica-
tion, with hundreds of lives at stake,
whereas now the man who reports for
Cuty with any visible sign of intoxica-
tion would be at once discharged.
On some railroads the rule was still
more stringent ana the trainman who
even visited a saloon was at once fired,
and had no chance of further employ
ment. 1t was no uncommon thing in
Missouri a few years ago, for the dea-
cons of the churches to sell liquor, and
nothing wrong was thought of it; but
are excluded from church offices. Many
other instances of advance in the cause
OF temperance were cited, and then the
lady let loose on the tobacco habit.
She remembered the time when, in
every church in her native State, the
tobacco habit was so prevalent that
the pews would be pools, lakes, seas
and oceans of filth, that exuded from
the mouths of the so-called worshipers.
Now a clean tablecloth could be laid
down in the pews, and they would
come out without a tobacco stain upon
them. This was the result of only
thirteen years earnest work, on the
part of the W. c. T. Z. The Union
was banded together to work reforms
in the social system that We're needed,
and they had worked earnestly and
persistently together with that concert
that ensured success.
Among their other ACHIEVEMENTS had
been the prohibition of tobacco in any
form in the military academy at West
Point, and the naval academy at An
napoliS.
Their latest success had been one,
she had never seen announced in any
PAPER, the prohibition of the use of to-
lacco by any of the instructors dur
ing their lecture hours in these insti-
tutions. Many other facts were given
by Mrs. Hoffman during her very inter
esting lecture. and she kept her aud
ience spell-bound from start to finish.

CHESAPEAKE OYSTERS.
Weather Director Barwick Is Having
Big Feast.

Several months ago William Heyser,
an oyster packer of Baltimore, Md,
wrote Director Barwick for climatic
data of this State, as he desired to quit
the packing business and come to Cal
ifornia to live.
and the fact that Director Barwick is
a Marylander by birth, and an expert
on oysters, that Heyser concluded to
feast our weather man on the dainty
bivalves from the Chesapeake, and
Director Earwick yesterday received a
pailful of oysters from Heyser, all in

JACK FROST
Held His Court at the Y. M. G. A.
Rooms Last Night.

Cold was the night outdoors last
evening and flashes of rain came dash
ing into the faces of those who had to
be on the streets.
1t was uncomfortable undoubtedly,
but not uncomfortable and those who
suffered from it did so realizing that
it could not last long and that sooner
or later the sun would shine warm and
bright, making nature rejoice. They
were not aware, though that Jack Frost
had come to town and was at that very
moment snugly ensconced at the Y. NJ.
c. A. rooms in all his glory.
But so it was, The reception room
was clothed in ivy green, while the
ralm leaves on the walls were SEEM
!ngly covered with snow and frost,
which lay heavy and white on them
and the ivy. In one corner the Ice
King held his court under a canopy of
snow, while his throne was an iceberg,
covered with the skin of the polar
bear, and everything around betokened
the rigors of winter.
Everything, that is, except the
warmth of the welcome extended by
him to the mortals who came to pay
their court to him. his genial smiles
seeming almost to thaW out the frigld
surroundings.
In the gymnasium, where the aud
fence gathered to listen to the fine
programme that had been arranged,
the same chilly appearance prevailed,
the floor glistening with frost, blocks
CT snow and snow plants being distrib-
Ited around.
At the entrance door one of Jack
Frosts pages was stationed, to whom
the visitors paid tribute.
The Monday Night Orchestra opened
the programme with fine instrument
tai selection. A very pleasing vocal
solo by Mrs. Elliott followed, Mrs.
Coppersmith came next in a fine vocal
solo. which was we'll rendered, and was
followed by reading of Snow
Bound by Mrs. Lawrence, that was
excellent. Miss Evelyn Reeves then
sang a beautiful soprano solo, which
showed that her voice has undergone a
marked Improvement within the last
few months and she was forced to re-
spond to persistent encore. Mrs.
Moeller was accompanist. Mr.. Hunt
rendered tenor solo in fine style and
vas also encored.
1HeH came an interruption 10 lne
programme. The pages of the Frost
King had climbed up behind a mimic
snow bank and prepared a large num-
ber of snowballs of some light, fluffy
substance, soft as the flakes of the
genuine article, with which they pelted
the audience Soon the latter began
to retaliate and then to pay their COM
Iliments to each other, and in a few
minutes all were engaged in a lively
SNOWFALL fight. while the Winter King
laughed in glee to see how readily the
sons and daughters of the sunny cline
took to the sports Of his realm
The Ladies Auxiliary, which had
planned and carried out the entertain
ment so successfully, here interposed
an invitation to partake of the refresh
n,ents that they had prepared and a
truce was declared between the oppos-
ing forces, while they cooled their ar
dor with ice cream and cake. After
due attention to the pleasures of the
table, the guests passed a season in
social intercourse and parted with the
expression Of d hope that the monarch
CT the north pole would soon pay an
other visit to Sacramento.
