 There will also be John w. Ransome, monOlogue artist and impersonator, Lizzie B. Raymond, with new songs; Hayes and Randy, the dancing mar vels, and BOgert and O'Brien, the ec- centric musical specialists. Kerner's "Visions of Art" will be an attractive feature. and many new subjects will be introduced.
 Headquarters of the society were opened yesterday at the Claus Spreck- els building. The rooms are on the sec ond floor of the building, and they will be open daily from 10 a. m. to D. m. Yesterday the ladies of the executive committee were in attendance nearly all day, and from the time the doors were opened the rooms were crowded with visitors asking for information about the work of the organization and what they could do to assist. Several generous and welcome donations were handed to the treasurer and when the day closed 1t was announced that about $I00 had been received for the fund The managers of the six big daily papers of the city notified the committee that subscription lists would be kept on the counters of their business offices and that they would each aid the purposes of the organization all they could.

The San Francisco call., 1898-05-08

The Red Cross flag will float over the Orpheum Theater on Thursday next. On that day a great matinee perform ance will be given for the benefit of the fund to equip the California volunteers who have been called into active ser vice with the much needed medical and hospital supplies. Gustav Walter, the manager of the amusement house, has been most generous in his offer, saying. Every cent that is taken in at the box office and from the sale of seats will go to the fund. Not one nickel is to be taken from 1t for expenses" The house is at the disposal of the Red Cross for that afternoon and the corps of performers who have made the the ater so popular have gladly supported MT. Walter In his offer Every mem Der of the company promises some spe- cialties that will make the performance one of more than ordinary interest. The members of the orchestra have joined with the manager of the house and the performers and they will gladly give their services for the afternoon, and oftener if required. The Orpheum peo- pie have made a generous offer and many a soldier who goes to the front may have reason, when in a far-off land, to be thankful to the merry mak- CTS in the popular theater for their timely aid.
 The bill for the performance, as far as it is made up, is an excellent one. Isabelle Urquhart, who is we'll known on the legitimate stage as an exceed ingly clever comedienne, will appear in

were enlarged and suggestions given them what lines to pursue. One opin- ion was entertained by them ali. and that was that money was needed. and needed at once. Estimates made by the surgeons of the volunteers placed the sum at about 5000, and If the purpose of the society was to be carried out with the greatest success it was to be raised within the next four days.
 It was announced that the six lead ing daily papers of the city would open subscription lists at once at their offices, and the large stores and other public places would be asked to do the same thing. A vote of thanks was unanimously rendered to the managers of the Orpheum Theater for their gene rous offer.
 Charles L. Harrington. the president of the School Board, announced that the children of the schools would be given an opportunity to aid as much as it was in their power. He said the rules of the School Department would possibly be stretched to allow them to contribute. That action on the part Of the board might be criticized to some extent, but under the circumstances he thought the emergency justified it.
 At the request of the society tele- gram was sent to Colonel Otis Of Los Angeles asking him to take the 1nitia- tive to establish some society in South ern California that would assist the work of the Red Cross.

COLORS FOR THE
 REGIMENTS.
Elegant Presents to Be Made by the Chamber
 of Commerce,

Several members of the Chamber of Commerce have decided to present the First and Seventh Regiments with regi- mental colors. The movement was start ed by a letter from William Macdonald, who wrote the following to Hugh Craig, the president of the chamber:
 Sir: AS the First Regiment of Volunteers enlisted for the war Is composed exclusively or men and officers taken from the First Regi- ment Infantry N. G. C.. the only regiment of the National Guard in this city, 1t has occurred to me that 1t would be patriotic and proper thing for the Chamber of Commerce to present to the regiment Its colors. If it Is necessary to make collection for this purpose and the officers of the Chamber of Commerce will un- dertake It. I shall be pleased to subscribe Yours very respectfully.
 WILLIAM MACDONALD.
 The idea was considered to be excellent. and in very short time Mir. Craig and a number of others had the project well under way. The colors, flags, etc. will be forthcoming in very short order as a token of esteem from the Chamber of Commerce. The date of the presentation has not yet been set, out II IS safe to say that within a few days the bright new colors will be floating at the heads of the San Francisco and Los Angeles regi- mentS.

The Chief of Police and the Chief of the Fire Department will then make a thorough inspection of the seating capacity, and if satisfactory to them the fight can go on. If this is done and there is an accident, we will know who to hold responsible for ac- cfdents."

THE CALLS BEACON.

OAKLAND, May "A bright glare in the sky to the westward of this city to- night caused many to believe a big fire was raging. It was soon learned that the fire was across the bay and a little in- vestigation disclosed the fact that it was the red fire on The Call building that was being burned in honor of Admiral Dewey s great victory. The air was clear on the bay and the brilliant light could easily be seen twenty miles. All around the bay shore to Pinole Point the red fire and its reflection in the sky could be seen high above the ordinary glare of the citys lights. From the foot of Broadway the signal of victory furnished a fine display and sent a distinct pathway of light across the bay that united the two cities with silvery briliancy.

 Suit was instituted yesterday in the Justice Court against the National Ath- letic Club, J. J. Groom and J. D. Gibbs to recover $40. It is alleged that w. r. Fuller, I. F. Littlefeld and George Fuller purchased four tickets to see the Jeffries- -Sharkey mix-up, and that they were refused admission. The suit IS to recover the price of the tickets. An attachment was issued against the de- fendants.
 Corporal Geman last night made the following report to Chief Lees:

My attention was attracted py the breaking of timbers of the raised seats at the west end of the building. 1 saw the whole thing and venture the assertion that not two thirds of the chairs occupied. As soon as the crash came at the easterly row of chairs I glanced in that direction and saw that only a few persons were occupying seats Tn that particular part of the building.
 Sergeant Nash has also made a report of the accident. In it he says:
