THE CALIFORNIAN WARSHIPS.

ID Y reason of the brilliancy of the feats accom- h plished by the incompatible Oregon there has A/ been danger that she would attract public at tenton in the East to the exclusion of everything else of merit this coast It is therefore gratifying to note that the Eastern press has not wholly over looked other records made by California since the war broke out but the contrary has been dis criminating and comprehensive as well as generous in it's praise
 The Chicago Times-H Herald, for example, recently directed the attention of readers to the fact that not only did the Oregon eclipse all sea-going per ormances of battleships but that the.montors Mon terey and Monadnock have in their seven thousand mile trip to reinforce Dewey at Manila broken all records in their class The Times Herald very justly says, "The Oregons performance in its way no more surprising than the latter feat Of sending heavy monitors from California to the Philippines
 Another phase of the subject of these record breaking performances IS noted by the Cincinnati Commercial in making clear to. the public the credit due to the engineers of the vessels. In commenting upon the successful accomplishment Of the long voy age of the Oregon around the Horn, and the tre- mendous rush of speed by which she passed the other ships of the fleet that ahead of her when Ger tried to escape from Santiago and made her way to the forefront of the battle, the Commercial main tainS that the credit for the glory of the Oregon be- longs mainly to the engineers. It says
 1t was the at the engines in this case and not the men at the guns The chief engineer was the He knew his machinery knows his child and he knew the capabilities of the magnif- cent engines We suspect that he had head o steam on that risky, and maybe the safety valves had an extra weight but in this case he was going to catch the Colon or lose his vessel in the attempt And he didn't lose his vessel either, but the exper- ment was If the hull of the Oregon had been clean she would have run around the Colon All this praise from Eastern contemporaries is gratifying We forgive their bygone slurs upon our State in consideration of the generous spirit shown in recognizing the work achieved by California for the nation in 1t goes without saying that there will be less ignorant criticism of Pacific Coast workmanship hereafter, Tn. East has learned les son. and when hold our Pacific Coast exposition celebrate the ftieth anniversary of our American civilization shall give prominent place to the models of the warships that not only did much to crush Spain but helped to open the eyes of our own cOuntrymen

Not since the days of Dockstader or Ezra Kendall has the Orpheum had such a monologuist as James Thornton. He Is the champion song writer, and he might enter the race for the laurels as an entertainer. His songs are peculiar" to Thornton in that they have an even cadence and swing to them that: makes them catchy. My Sweetheart Is the Man In the Moon" and Tt Don't Seem Like the Same Old Smile" are samples Of his style of work. His turn at the Or and in either role MT. Thornton is enter evidently graduated from the operatic stage to vaudeville for their work all savers of the Italian opera style. They are artists and on their merits were de- serving a much more demonstrative re- ception. They will no doubt grow in favor.
 Gilbert and Goldie have a new act, quite as funny in it's way as their turn of last week Joseph Hart and Carrie de Mar are still favorites. Valmore is the novelty feature. He has some new limitations that are alone worth hearing The Macarte sisters on the high wire are pleasing feature. The Angela sis ters have a new repertoire and score a hit, particularly in their war song, but in this line w. H. Windom and his Black stone quartet have the call. '-'.<:. .;

But the large audience was more than. pleased. with his rendition of the part, and after the famous Course of Rone,"- which brings the fourth act to a close. he was compelled to. respond to the demands for Julie.
