THE CHILDRENS HOSPITAL
MATINEE AT THE 0RPHEUM
SPLENDID PERFORMANCE AND
A PACKED HOUSE.
Receipts Aggregating Nearly Thou
and Dollars Generously DO
mated by the Manage
ment.

The Orpheum has never before been as
crowded as it was yesterday afternoon at
the matinee given by the management for
the benefit of the Childrens Hospital.
After the doors were opened at l o'clock
the house was half filed in an incredibly
short time, and at 1870 standing room only
was procurable.
AS to the artist who took part, the
same motive which brought 1000 people to
the show impeIled the vaudeville folks to
surpass themselves in the exhibition of
their marvellous talents.
Miss Bee Ross appeared in addition to
the regular programme and proved her
self a dainty and clever interpreter of
coon songs.
The receipts amounted to 1877 So. The
programmes and proceeds of advertising
were donated by Horwinsk Brothers and
the flowers by Shannahan, the Powell
street florist.
The flower girls who helped swell the
receipts by their engaging manners were
Papinta, Querita Vincent, Beatrice Lar
kinson, Mabel Bowman. Gertrude Hayes,
Irene de Vol, Mile Rosa, Emma Krause,
Mamie Davis, Hazel Callihan and Miss
Caldwell.

A GROSS INJUSTICE.

7 Under the decision OF the Commissioner of In
| terna Revenue that the war revenue act pro-
- hibits tobacco dealers from selling in broken
packages, small quantities, wrong will be done
to industrious portion of the people which
amounts to a gross injustice-one so gross indeed
that it threatens to deprive many families OF their
means OF subsistence and reduce them to perjury
The circumstances these: In San Francisco
and in every American city of considerable popula-
ton there number of persons who carry on
the industry of cigar-maling in a small way These
workers not able to purchase tobacco in large
quantities for the limited extent of their trade and
their means do not permit it Their industry, there
FORE depends upon their ability to obtain tobacco
small quantities as they require it, and as the new
law, according to the decision of the Commissioner,
forbids the sale in that way, the industry is virtually
suppressed by an act OF Congress.
The evil is all the more offensive because the eco
nonc tendencies of the age already heavily han
dicappng the small producer manufacturer in
competition with the giant corporations and trusts
which control much capital. The large manufac-
of cigars have hundred advantages over the
