The energy that lights Sacramento
propels all of the towns street cars

four miles from the falls Of Sacra-

loss. The only question as to this

ton is, Will it be possible to get the
business that will make the line
profitable? The short road from
Victor to Cripple Creek, over Squaw
Mountain, runs with full cars all the
time, carries from eighty to one hun
dred fares on car and charges 80
cents the round trip Of four and one
half miles. It's paying concern; but
it has an assured, steady patronage,
all that the capacity of the line will
handle. This is the one question as

To the lover of music who is also fond
Of the drama, there can be no more
pleasing remembrance and souvenir of
his favorite play than piece of good
music bearing the same title. The
march we offer you now was written es-
pecially for the great production of Bet
sy Ross" and the catchy march melo-
dies will capture your fancy. 1t dedica-
ted to the members of the "Betsy Ross"
societies throughout the U. S., and is

the maker of the first American flag
THE Lamb That Strayed From The
Fold" by Harry Davis and Sidney Carl
ton, is new ballad by writers in a
new field. Both of these gentleman
are newspaper men and writers of repu-
tation, and their initial effort in the
song line promises to be immensely sue
cessful. The splendid story and beau
tiful melody have caught on in the
theatres, and singers report many en-
cores wherever the song is sung and il
lustrated. The publishers are also in
receipt of strong press notices showing
that it is becoming we'll known every

The author of that most charming
and popular of waltz songs, Grace o.
Moore" has just completed new and
melodious waltz song, entitled Rosa

that ''Rosabelle" will catch the popular
fancy, for it has all the elements OF
catchiness.
At Tony Pastors cosey theatre one
evening recently, Miss Louie Dacre, a
favorite English Music Hall artist who
comes from abroad with a splendid rep

composss all her songs, introduced the
above little comic idea to uproarious
laughter and applause. The opening
strains of the chorus in the "0h! Oh
OH" song caught the house at once and
it is now whistled on the streets now
everywhere. Miss Dacre assures tha'
the melody is an international hit ant
is heard everywhere in London as we'll

not dream that his new march would

it has. In the big Decoration Day an(
