san JOSE, Sept. 8.-Some
months ago San Jose extended
an invitation to the Sons and
Daughters of the Golden West to
come down and help themselves
to the city. The invitstion was
accepted, and tonight they came
and helped themselves. What
they did not want may be found
floating somewhere out in the
bay, but it is not worth looking
for.
This is young California's
night, and young California is
not letting anybody in Santa
Clara County forget it to any ap-
preciable extent. He and she are
all here; it can't be possible that
one is missing, and one has only
to fight ones way for a block
along First street to readily be-
lieve that two or three envious
sister States have sent large, ro-
bust delegations of their hope
and pride to swell the throng.
Judging from the crowds on
the streets at midnight there
ought to be not less than 5,ooo,-
900 votes cast in the State at the
November election, even though
the girls have not been granted
the right of suffrage.
And what noise! Everybody
is trying his or her level best to
drown the uproar of all the
others, unmindful of the fact that
glittering success does not seem
to crown their efforts. But they
do manage to increase the din.
Brass bands tramp down the
street, every mothers son jam
ming wind into his instrument
like mad; at least his cheeks
bulge like toy balloon, but not
a sound of melody reaches the
sidewalk. Standing close beside
them one might hear something
resembling the feeble piping OF
tin whistles, that is all.
San Jose has been lavish OF
electricity, and all the principal
streets are ablaze with light
every man and most of the
women are armed with Roman
candles, while the skies are faifly
aglow with countless rockets

The conditions all seem propftious

an admiration. This sentiment is

Recently &c was given out by the d.
rectors OF the German FIRE Insurance
Company that the close OF the theatre
cal season OF lSs7-ss would also mark
the close OF the career OF the Opera
House as a theatre. the Intention being
to convert 1t into large and modern
Office building.
Since then there has been consider,
able talk OF erecting q theatre on an
other site. and 1t wus presumed there
would be overtures to the German for
the purchase OF the Opera House prop
erty. Along neither line has anything
been accomplished. The projectors OF
the scheme for a new theatre have not
been able to make satisfactory arrange
ments for n suitable site, and there has
not seemed to be o desire on the part OF
anyone to acquire the Opera House
property for continuing 1t as q theatre.
This state Of affairs has been the
moving cause for the late action Of the
directors Of the German company In de-
Gliding to postpone for one year at least
the changing OF the its property into an
office building. 1t Is now given out that
the company will conduct Its amuse-
ment business at the old stand for an
other season. Consequently nothing
will be done toward changing the char
acter OF the Opera House property until
the spring OF 1899. and IN the meantime
the Wheeling theatrical public Is as
sured OF having two theatres instead OF
one-a state OF affairs that would not
be satisfactory at ALL ri

A SMALL BLAZE
AT the Riverside Tube Works Yester-
~ daS-Wheeling Department Ont

4 ..HgI.
About 4a5 o'clock yesterday morning
the Riverside tube works was visited
by small blaze. The Eighth ward and
Niagara engine houses responded to the
call for aid, and were occupied for over
two hours. The fire occurred on the
threading floor, and is supposed TO have
originated from an upturned can Of
oil.
The flames spread over the floor for
some distance and blazed up to the
ratters overhead. and damaged the ma
chinery TO some extent. The firemen
were handicapped from getting at the
fire, owing to the location Of the blaze.
but they confined 4 great part Of their
efforts to keeping the flames away from
the engine which was In close proxim-
ity. 1t was $50 o'clock before the fire
was extinguished The extent OF the
damage could not be ascertained, but
1t was said repairs would be mads in
time for start to-day.

empress of Austria was assassinated at
the Hotel Beau Rivage, this evening by
an anarchist who was arrested. He
stabbed her majesty with stiletto.

and stabbed her to the heart. She tell and
was carried to the Hotel Beau Riyage,
where she expired. The empress OF Aus
tria had been stopping. at the Hotel Beau
Rivage for several days. 1t was at first
thought her wound was not serious, but
she died in few minutes.
| Another account of the assassination
of the empress says that after having
been stabbed from behind the empress
rose and walked on board the steamer,
when she fell fainting.
The captain did not want to put from
the quay, but did SO at the request Of
the empress and her suite, there being nc
apprehension that she was seriously hurt
The steamer was put back before leaving
for the open lake. and the empress, un
conscious, was carried to the hotel III

Found her, and wooed her, and won her

She knows-she only. how slow and sweet
My love grew up from the palms of her

From low at her foot to high on her brow.

Beauty of earth, or bright spirit above;
But only the angels and Fannie know
Why. living and dying, love her SO.
