TRIP TO THE
 TENDERLOIN Hoyt's Stranger" Is the Thirstiest Play Ever
 Written. Tho Strange Adventures of MT. Pascoe at the
 AlcaZar.
Another Morosco MelOdrarna-C Con- tinuances at the Other Play
 houses.

This time our genial friend, Charles Hoyt has forsaken the small suburban settlement with it's modest delights and dissipations and has hied him to New York and written a farce about the great metropolitan tenderloin. And sad to tell-he has written not in satire but in glorification. Hoyt, our one hope, our comic antidote for nations sins, has evolved piece with the largest capacity for cocktails, wine and "wow!" that is yet on record. I have seen Ten Nights in Barroom," Drink" New York Casino reviews" and many plays that could hold their own in the consumption of strong fluids-but this piece, "A Stran- ger in New York; is the limit. It is a dramatic tank. It drinks from the rise of the first curtain until the drop of the last; it swims, splashes, soaks in it, until your brain grows dizzy and your chair reels. I prefer MT. Hoyt in a more temperate mood, when he shouts less and says more. The fun of this piece depends wholly on it's rat tie and glitter and thirst; there is lit- tie observation in it and none of the good natured satire that is usually the best part of Hoyt play-in fact, the author seems frankly enamored of the tenderloin, and for three acts he paints it an inflammatory red.
 Such plot as comes to the surface is this: The stranger" after picking up letter of introduction, delivering it to the person addressed, and being wei comed with all sorts of brotherly love y,1 hot lad nTf to ha ball, the host under the impression that he is entertaining the man in whose be- half the letter was written. The man who has lost the letter becomes the victim of a practical joke of his own which sends him to a pesthouse. He escapes and comes to the ball, where he is compelled to assume spurious name, while the stranger" enjoys the wire. the glory and the girls. There is a bit of side plot in the victims wife, who employs a detective to discover her husband at the ball-but it Is only incidental and very trivial.
 The action and interest are centered in the phenomenal thirsts and capaci- ties of the stranger and his compan- ions. The ball scene, or rather room in the Madison Square Garden on the night of a ball, takes up the last two of the three acts, exploiting specialties CCNNCCAi LII iAiiho. oOoCpAi wy h SCUiA6 man of great lengths and limbernesses, extravagantly mobile countenance and considerable magnetism, plays the stranger" with finished tenderloin as- surance, and sings several songs with entertaining humor. Charles Dungan does all that any one could do for the host"
 This Is not the original New York cast, but it includes Anna Boyd, Ca mille Cleveland, Minnie Bridges, Harry Rogers, Sam Marion and John Dudley, who certainly do not make the play out to be any less than it really is. In fact both Mr. Hoyt and the company do the tenderloin to its very rarest.

San LeandrO's Cannery Is Not to Be Built
 This Year.
LivermOre's Creamery Closed Because of Scarcity
 of Feed.
Fruit Spoiled in Few Places and the Yield Will Be
 Small.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call

SS Broadway, April II,
 The crop and fruit conditions and pros poets in Alameda County are now caus- ing grave anxiety. The excessive warmth of to-day, it Is expected, will bs followed by a light rain tomorrow or next day and in many districts this will entirely ruin apricots and cherries. Some of the farmers report that it will now be impossible to get even moderate crops. as the young cereals are so stunted and backward that they cannot possibly pro- duce anything but poor fodder.
 The fruit crop. being so lacking in prom ise. has been the means of delaying the building of the cannery of San Leandro for which generous public subscription was raised. It will not be opened this season. but the committee has accepted an agreement that insures the opening of the cannery next year. The propo- sition that has been agreed upon Is that of the King-MOrse Cannery Company Of San Francisco.
 The principal conditions of the contract are as follows: That the association deeds a block of land and pays over to the company the balance in cash which will aggregate the sum of five thousand dollars and which is to be collected by July l. 1898; while the company agrees to break ground by November l of this year and begin with the erection of buildings by January l. 1899. The cannery to have capacity of 50 0U0 eases per canning sea son The last condition was proposed by the association, but q private inter. view with MT Morse, the president of the company, elicited the fact that the calculations are for capacity Of 1OO,- GOO cases per canning season.
 A report received at The Call office from Haywards to-day says the hot spell has materially diminished the chances of good apricot and almond crops, but that there will be fair yields of other fruits unless something more destructive in the me neurological line visits the county.
 The lack of feed for stock in the val ley and foOthill lands is having a de- cidedly bad effect upon the LiVermore creamery.
 The local institution was closed down on Wednesday morning. and the new
 The AltamOnt skimming station which has been operated in connection with the creamery has not been put in use this season. Thirty-fiVe thousand pounds of milk was the daily average of the skim ming station for April of last year. Farm over in the Corral Hollow country, where the feed, though not in abundance. far surpasseS the ranges in the AltamOnt hills.
 Three weeks ago the creamery had eighteen patrons who furnished a daily average of 2500 pounds of milk. Since then the number of patrons mas increased to twenty-twO and the average daily amount of milk has decreased to about 100 pounds
 IL can be readily seen that the cream cry could not long survive this condition crease of feed for the stock takes place within the next two or three weeks. Liv- ermOre Valleys creamery will remain closed for the season of '9S.

EULER IS NOT INSANE Her Attorney Says That Oakland Police Are
 Nasty.
Her Ladyship Is Arrested in West Oakland and Booked
 as Deraneed.
Ways of the British Aristocrscy Arc Not Understood by Blunt
 Californians.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,


 Lady Leilah Kirkham YardeBuller at tended Judge Halls court this morning to prosecute the litigation over the Kirk ham estate, and this afternoon she was arrested in West Oakland on a suspicion of insanity.
 For over a year some of her relatives living in this city have been of the belief that her ladyShip was not of sound mind, but no occasion has arisen that would give them a valid reason for having her examined regarding her mental condition
 This afternoon Lady YardeBuller went to Jackson's drug store in West Oakland and asked the clerk to order her carriage to be sent for her. She talked very inco- herently and behaved in such an eXcit- able manner that the proprietor Of the store concluded she was insane. He tried to enter into conversation with her, but she would give him no satisfaction be- yond saying that she was member or the British aristocracy, had wealth in plenty and would be much obliged II he would call up her carriage so that she might go home. Becoming convinced that the lady was not responsible, the hecelV- ing Hospital was requested to take her in charge, and Warden Heating now has her in the insane department.
 After her arrival at the hospital, War den Heating sent for Dr. Wheeler, her brother-in- law, told him of the clrcun-
 
 have done. Dr. Wheeler replied that he had long been of the opinion that her ladyship was not able to take care or her- self and that it would probably be best for her to be examined, and if found ira tional to be taken care of.
 The divorce proceedings of Mrs. Yarde- Butler and the part she took in the liti- gation over the estate of her. father, the late General Kfrkham, have brought the family into much prominence during the past three years. Various stories of the doings of her ladyship nave been circu- lated, but only in the form of rumors, although on some occasions they seem to have had some foundation. About q year ago Lady Butler came from England but did not announce her coming. It was thought that a previous arrangement she had made with the other heirs of the Kirkham estate had been entirely satis- factory and that her ladyship would spend her fortune and pass the remainder of her days in the west end of London. This. however, was not so, and Lady Butler with her two sons, one of them a lieutenant in the British army, arrived at the Hotel Metropole and announced that they were not satisfied with her lady ships portion.
 Another agreement was made and for a time her ladyshp lived with an old nurse in a little cottage on the edge of the marsh in West Oakland. It is not known when her ladyship moved her residence from this city, but 1t is now stated that she has been living for some time in a San Francisco hotel.

 There were only twenty-five visitors at the Free Library yesterday during the three hours that the place was open. The belief is gaining ground that it would be a good idea to have the library closed altogether on Sunday.

KELLER ON WAR ISSUES. If Trouble Must Come Business In- terests Demand Prompt
 Action

OAKLAND, April 11-M. J. Keller re- turned from one of his sem-annual visits to Chicago and New York to-day. He said both cities were considerably excited over the threatened war He thinks the business element is most conservative. He said:
 "These interests think that 1t would be better to find a peaceable way out of the present complications if it can be done with honor. If war must be- they War is better than indefinite suspense. The war agitation naturally retards en- terprises and investment.
 Business, however, throughout the East is better than it has been, and in some sections of the country wholesalers report largely increased orders. That is particularly true from the great wheat belts in Kansas and Iowa and the Da- kOtaS''

Yarde-Buller at once fell in a deep sleep and her relatives and attorneys were notified of her detention To-mor- row morning she will be examined by doctors who will decide whether her in sanity be due to legitimate weakening of the brain or to other causes.
 Some time ago Lieutenant Blair, the elder of Mrs. Buffers two sons, returned to his regiment in England, and the younger one remained with his mother
 E. H. Wakeman, Lady Yarde-B Buffers s attorney, at whose home she has been residing for the past six months, and her son Arthur were at the hospital tonight Mir Wakeman was terribly put out be- cause his client was charged with insan- ity. "Why, she is no more insane than you are" he said. "We were out late last night. and she drank pretty heavily. To-day she got out and was boisterous. The police did not know her, and when she asked them to call for her carriage they thought, of course, she was in- sane. Why didn't they charge her with drunkenness and lock her up until her son or myself could be noti- fed Then we could have taken her home in a carriage Now she must be examined before she can leave this place. She will surprise the examiners in the morning, for she will be all right then. It is a wonder Oakland police don't know a drunk when they see one.'
