GRAND ENTERTAINMENT.
The Berkeley College Quartette Club
Takes the Town By storm-Fine
Music, Singing and Recitations.

The large audience at the Vogt last
night were thoroughly delighted with the
program rendered by the Berkeley boys.
The quartet was fine, while their instru-
mental music and solos were hard to
beat.
The Rhine Song by the quartet, was
the curtain raiser, and was SO well rem
dered that the audience was impatient
until they answered the hearty encore
Cyrus B. Newton appeared next and
by his singing and recitation of the
Farmers Soliloquy, won the entire au-
dience. He is clever delineator, and.
in fact is nothing less than genius.
The next mum ber was an Instrumental
quartet, ''Chileoot March," This was
exceptionally well gwen. and well mer-
tied the hearty encore received.
Mr.. Morse's singing of by the Foun-
tain" was sweet and full of feeling and
won loud and we'll merited applause. In
response to the encore he Gang the beau
tiful selection, ''The Lass From the
County Mayo" and by his singing won
the hearts of his audience.
@. E. PARCELS thoroughly delighted
the audience with his violin and like the
other numbers his was heartily encored.
The dialect speech of Brick Morse
capped the climax. Numerous times
during his speech he was intercepted by
the cheers and laughter of everyone.
'The Darkies' Dream" by the instru-
mental quartet, was like the other num-
berF, exceptionally 6ne, and the audi
dience were persistent in having them
appear a second time.
The next two numbers were 'sI Won
der" by I. A. Smith, and, Come Unto
Me-" 10y G. L. Morse, rendered py the
quartet. Their singing of these and the
response to an encore was extremely
beautiful.
Cyrus B. New tor, the inimItable char
acter dtliniator tairiv took the house
by his humorous recitations; especially
that of "Aunt Stutisnaker." He is GER

Mr.. Hough, of the Hebron Drug
Company engaged the visitors in con-
versation. They had read in the Ad-
vertiser and had heard from friends
of what was going on in anticipation
of the visit of troops of the United
States to Honolulu. The Chinese
were surprised to learn that they would
get their money back if the soldiers
were not entertained. All of the Chi
nese subscribers agreed with Ahin,
Ahlo and Wong Kwai in expressing
the hope that the American soldiers
would come" 1t was explained that
the Chinese subscribers, while in
company socially, had talked OF the
enterprise Of the citizens and had come
to the conclusion that the Chinese col
ony should not remain in the back
ground in the matter.
Subscriptions to the fund have come
in without stint and there has been
no canvass. There are sixty-one names
on the list and the total amount pledg-
ed is $6,82O5O Much more will be
given today. 1t might again be stated
that the finance committee will leave
the list at Hobron's till after the ar
rival of the Mariposa.

Etiquette at Nice.

One feature Of life on the Riviera that
particularly strikes the sojourner from
this side of the Atlantic is the utter alb
sence Of the piazza life that is such an
institution at American summer and
winter resorts. A recent visitor at Nice
writes to the New York Times: "A
man may show himself here on the
Promenade des Anglais, either on foot
or in coach, within certain well defined
hours and with well understood restric-
tons as to his costume, but be must
under no circumstances be seen sitting
in front Of his own dwelling, be it villa
or hotel. The front Of the premises
must be clean and well kept, with as
many plants and flowers as you like,
but there must be no array of comforta.
bic chairs and little tables, as we have
them, or any other outward sign, in
fact, that some one lives within and
some one who knows how to take life
comfortably. To sit il front of a hotel

Revival of an Ancient Jest.

The ancient jest regarding the ditto
sign was revived in Cleveland not long
ago, and it loses little of its sparkle be
cause of its age.
Into the Office of local manufactur

customer from out of town recently
stalked.

once got q rather curious confession
from a professional begsar, which if
true, and believe it was, opened my
eyes to the reckless ways in which
American beggars are made. II had

home by the Mission street cars found
that my pocket had been picked. 1t was
too far to walk, so ! decided to borrow
nickel. The first man to whom i told
my story gave me a quarter without
hesitation. All the way home thought
it over. a quarter was as much as i
made clear at my stand many Gay. 1t
all ended By my selling out and going
to begging, always telling my first
story. l have done pretty well since
then and like the business. .
One day met hin in Union square.
"How's business?" / asked. He was
leaning against tree. Geeply intent on
some figures in book. Ee slipped the
book into his pocket and began to whine.

He passed through the fog to the ether
side Of the street and touched his hat
to an elderly acquaintance of mine who
was coming down the broad steps Of
the Pacific Union club. In moment he
returned with bright new quarter in
his hand.

that she prayed for him night and day.

SPARK FROM A PIPE.
Sends Six Men to Eternity and
Destroys Powder Made for

FnHR OTHERS SERIOUSLY INJURED,
Some of the Latter Viii Probably Die
Explosion Thought 20 Have Been the Re
suit of Some Man Smoking While at
Work Dead Men Terribly Mansled-
Succession of Explosions Lays the Whole
Plant in a Pile of Debris.

Easton, Pa, April 29.-The town of
Dover, Morris county, n. J., and the
country within radius of twenty miles,
was startled yesterday by a series OF
terrific explosions, the first of which oc-
Cured at 2:10 O'Clock. The explosions
occurred in the Atlantic Powder COM
pany's works, and the plant is now a
mass of ruins. Six worknen were
killed and four others seriously injured,
some probably fatally. Their remains
have not yet been recovered. The dead
are: Alfred Rarick, William Stumpf.
Casper Ray, David Scheer. William
Haycock and Elias Abers. All the
killed We're married and leave families.
The works were situated in an isolated
spot seven miles out in a rough country
from Dover. There were ten buildings
in the group, and all have been de-
stroyed.
One Blow-Up Follows Another.
The first explosion occurred in one of
the packing houses, caused. it is
thought, by a spark from the pipe of a
careless smoker. The conclusion set off
the explosives in another packing house
near by. Debris and burning timbers
Of the wrecked buildings were carried
high into the air and fell in a shower
over the remaining buildings, setting
fire to the main factory and the other
five packing houses and the two Shell
houses. In a brief time the explosives
in these building were set off and left
death ard destruction in their wake.
The works have been running night I'd
day turning out rush orders for ne
United States government and a l.-ge
amount of ammunition ready for snip
ment was stored in the packing houses.
This with ali other explosives was COM
pletely destroyed
Terrible Scene Was Presented.
The scene presented at the place was
terrible. People who felt the shocks
and saw the flames of the burning
structures flocked to the place from
miles around, but could render no aid
to the injured. The people were terri
fled ard held back in constant fear of
other explosions. A few men who were
in the buildings managed to escape and
they ran about the country bewildered.
When the wives and relatives of the
employees of the factory approached the
burning buildings the scene was heart
rending. The bodies of the dead were
horribly mangled. The head was miss
ing from some, while here and there lay
legless and armless trunks. Many of
the injured were cut and manned so
badly that several of them cannot
recover
