in bad condition and rotting.
They had every evidence of being
cooked. Next day new car ar
rived in poor condition although
salable. Next day seven cars ar
rived that had been ventilated, all
in fine condition. All cars after
ward were received in fine condi-
ton, showing conclusively that
during the hot days our canta-
loupes were ruined for want of
ventilation. j remained in st.

the week. The piece is well known to
all local theatre-goerS, and the Incl
dents of-the human bridge" and light
house scenes are well remembered. The
bridge made big sensation when
originally done at the Theatre. The
lighthouse scene shows the lighthouse,
with an angry sea dashing all around,
and enveloped in a heavy mist. The
fog-horn of a steamer can be heard in
the distance, gradually getting louder
and louder The hero, who has been
wounded by the william, RECEIVERS suf-
ficiently to realize the danger of the
slowly-approaching vessel. The oil for
lamps has given out, not drop being
in the place; but a boat from the shore
is expected with help, and through the
darkness the headlights of an enor-
nous steamer are seen approaching.
There is nothing to be done but to ring
the fog bell, so the hero, with one arm
useless, climbs up the outside of the
lighthouse, reaches the beam and rings
the bell Just as the small boat from
the shore arrives, bringing help, and
the huge ocean liner is seen dashing
; towards the rocks, with portfolios
aglow with light The beacon light of
the Coffin Rocks breaks forth, and as
the curtain descends one can see the
enormous steamer backing away from

Adams 1t is a volume of The Little
Minister" Barrie's famous novel, and
the edition is in the fullest extent a
strictly de luxe. 1t is handsomely

art form, and the book numbers 375
pages. 1t is labelled in gold letters, THE
Little Minister, by j. NJ. Barrie, the
Maude Adams edition. and throughout
the illustrations are photographers,
Babies face in all the pictures being
that of Maude Adams; indeed, all the
pictures are taken from scenes of the
play as rendered by Miss Adams COM
pany, while several changes the au-
thor made in fitting the novel to the
stage are illustrated by loose leaflets
inserted in the book. No star that we
know of ever had the distinction OF
having so expensive a souvenir put
out in her honor, and Mr.. Frohman's
liberality illustrates well, not only
what gold mine he has found in the
little Utah actress, but how well ht
appreciates her genius.

among player folk that the San Fran
cisco public is the most difficult to
please in America. Bearing in mind
these facts, the coming visit of the
Frawley company is a matter of more
than usual interest, for it has, in the
past four years, firmly established it
self, not only in San Francisco, but
elsewhere on the coast, as the standard
high-class dramatic organization of
the Pacific slope. 1t occupies the same
position in that territory that the Daily
and the Frohman home companies do
in New York. Indeed, it presents only
plays that have been great successes
with those companies. The mere fact
that Mr.. Daily and Messrs. Frohman
entrust their plays to Mr.. Frawley's
presentation, is sufficient evidence that
they are we'll done, for these gentlemen
would not risk their reputation in the
hands of an incompetent manager and
producer.

1t seems a pity that no form of in
surance has been devised against the
incursions of James Crow dramatic
troupes. Had there been, Mr.. Mulvey
would surely have taken out a liberal
policy. The past week has again seen
him made the prey of one of the most
virulent of the type, and a neat ribbon
of Grape viii adorn the box office this
morning in consequence. Mr.. Alden
Benedict came heralded with many a
flourish of trumpets from papers like
the Kankakee Bugle and the Chicka-
saw Clarion. In an evil moment Mr..
Muivey listened, and fell a prey to the
Wiles Of the advance man. The conse-
quence was that "Fabio Romani' has
played to rapidly diminishing business
all the week, and it will take a good
part Of the big receipts expected for

Mr.. Collier made a decided triumph
with his Man from Mexico" Last
night there was another big and hys-
/terical audience in attendance, the
y players Of the FraWley company being
scattered through the audience, and
Mr.: Frawley and Miss Bates occupying
front seats. The matinee was but
poorly attended, except in the cheap
portions of the house. Some day, per-
haps, when managers have paid out a
few independent fortunes for matinee
expenses, they Will learn that Salt

his very clever players are bound for
the coast, where they are sure Of an
overpowering welcome.

Three gods are in the household of
Willie Collier. They are Irving, Gillette
and Augustin DAILY. This trinity OF
great play-goers is held in special rev.
erence by Mr.. Collier for what it has
accomplished in the way of making
stage art something more than an
empty name. He said during a chat
yesterday: You cannot belittle what
these gentlemen are doing for the
stage. The actor who serves under
DAILY, is in the best dramatic school
this country affords; Mr.. Gillette is
the master hand at play-consructing
and Henry Irving the best stage man
ager that ever walked a plank. They
can say what they please about Irving,
and give credit to some of the men he
employs, but you can rest assured that
whatever is done on Irving's stage
comes from his brain, and no others
! have the greatest respect for the
three men l have named. They are
doing wonders for the stage, and I be-
lieve every actor ought to respect them
accordingly"

Herne has left his "Shore Acres COM
pany, and is now devoting his whole
attention to rehearsing his new play,
REV. Griffith Davenport, Circuit
Preacher which is first to see light in
New York in February. The cast will
include 200 persons. 1t is a story of
the southland. and Mr.. Herne win Gre
ate the title role, as he has done in all
his plays. The action of the piece
takes place during the civil war; and
Rev. Grif'' performs a favor for
President Lincoln in the way of find
ing out things about the movements of
the enemy, for which he is duly re-
warded. There is woven into the story
the usual sermon on the slave question.
In fact one of the causes for
! the preacher travelling to Wash
ington is the fact that his
/ views on this subject are so dia-
metrically opposite to those of his
neighbors that he considers it a diplo-
matte move to get out. OF the 200 in
the cast, it is stated that seventy viii
have speaking parts. In addition, there
will be horses, dogs, pigs and other ami
