STREET TALK PHOTOGRAPHED.
A Composite Picture OF Saturday
Nights Conversation.

Composite photographs are now often
seen in magazines and elsewhere.
Twenty maiden's faces, photographed
over one another, are said to give the
typical face, the average appearance of
the mass. 1t is SO also in collegiate
pictures of football teams and of
classes. tS
There should be some such law of
versation, or music, for example. The
prevailing characteristic or tone should
mark the music, the talk or the emo
ton of the people.
A Record Union man last night
noted the tone or theme of the multi
tude as he walked along K street. JOS
tied here and there, interrupted by vul-
garity and profanity which prevail
alarmingly in the streets-he was yet
able to catch words from the gay and
laughing throng, just as everybody who
passes along crowded street hears
here and there a word.
From the hotch-potch of words and
the medley of themes-sometimes a
word by an old man, again a girls sill
very Sentence-the composite was gath
cred. Here it is as it came, and its
prevailing tone shows what people We're
discussing in the excited and loud way
of street talk:
Hops are good money now - Fair
will be good this years but - he's in
the city gee, I'll bet there was never
such a crowd in Frisco he's stiE
drunk fine window dispEay-scorch-
ing on his bike you ought to have
seen the boy new dress for sunday
but l like Cages grit - all fought we'll,
but are glad to be back - war costs
half a million a day ought to be ar
rested for driving that way - they've
all gone to Frisco new shoes very
reasonable - I'd like to see the naval
dis-everybody's in the city - do you
blame 'em? - so many fellows with
jags = she's to be married soon = they
deserve the welcome they're getting"
1t is not a composite of complete
sentences, but it shows how peoples
minds are running just the same. And
it doesn't require the prize winner of
puzzle pictures to read the thoughts
mirrOred in such talk.

THE Low WATER.
A Shifting Channel Causes Trouble
to the Steamer Flora.

The steamer Flora came down the
river last evening towing a barge load
Of grain. About o'clock the boat ap-
preached the bridge and the draw was
opened to allow her to pass through.
Before reaching the bridge the boat
(or barge collided with some piles near
the Sacramento side. The boat then
swung around and attempted to send
the barge first through the draw. The
clumsy barge, however, failed to an
swer to the helm, and instead of max
ing the channel bumped against one Of
the piers of the bridge, caving in the
protecting planking.
The force of the collision threw the
barge against a bar on the Yolo side,
where it stuck. AS far as could be
learned neither boat, barge nor bridge
We're seriously damaged.

ADJUSTMENTS.

''The Girl From Chilli drew a good
audience at the Clunie last night. The
performance will be repeated tonight
| for the last time here. If excitement Of
the visibilities the stimulation of
| laughter, are evidences of success in a.
play, the farce is a success. But laugh
ter may be and often is excited where
| judgment condemns. The farce was
announced as following somewhat the
lines of "Charley's Aunt" There is but
single suggestion of resemblance, the
central male character is in female ap-
parel. Otherwise it lacks all merit
| ''Charley's Aunt" has. Continuity of
story, naturalness of situation, spon-
taniety of wit and defense of the RI
diculous try genuineness of humor The
auditors laughed and applauded, but
confessed that for absolute Stiffness
they had never seen the like. The whole
| thing came of a pipe dream; surely
no one in a lucid period strung such
stuff together There are plenty of
! ludicrous situations and startlingly ori-
ginal things, but no human intelligence
would be so absurd as to attribute
them to sanity. The oddity of it all is
that the play is given by very compe-

full to see such a fine comedian and
original genius as Frank Bacon strug-

so competent a leading stock actor as
Mr.. Blunkall to wrestle for two acts in
a bath robe in the endeavor to be fun
ny; to witness the extinguishment of
the pretty capable soubrette, Miss

| Handsome Miss Ellsmere and graceful
| Miss Yost are competent stage people,
but the former could with difficulty re-
strain smiles at the absurdity of her

sang coon lullaby very prettily and
won two encores, and Master Tate, a
clever juvenile low comedian, spoiled a
song for Miss Courtney by inability to
take the key or when he had it to be
even a little bit musical. He did better
in a comic solo. Yet "The Girl From
