Gadskis Elsa to hear and a good cast
besides, but the rows upon rows Of empty
seats pathetically testified to the opinion.
One would not have wondered had the
performance suffered therefore, but it was
just the other way about. The subtle
sympathy raining down from those music
loving gallery crowds soon made itself
felt over the footlights, and without Van
Dyck, without Schumann- -Heink, the per-
formance yet held a bigger swing and
spirit than either of the preceding ones
of the season.
Gadski's Elsa is known to us from last
year. and is as lovely to-day as 1t was
then. She excelled herself last night in

into song. 1t is like no other voice in the
company and it is in this human, pa

She has not the dawn-like purity of
Eames in the part, nor the majesty of
Nordica, but it is more humanity lovable

night, Bravo! Gadski! Bravor'

Conductor Swings Wild.

The conductor of car 406 of the Powell
street line will have cause for some time
to remember an encounter he had last
night with a Chinese passenger. AS the
car neared Post street the conductor be-
came incensed at the Chinese and endeav-
ored to put him out with a single blow.
The Chinese ducked and side-stepped in
regular boxer fashion. The conductor S

The unexpected result of the Sena-,
torial convention at Cleveland taken
an connection with like surprising re.
suits in other quarters of the state,
must be anything but comforting to
ahe politicians who have been able to
boast of having the special favor of
Che Administration. DO not these
results, even when considered apart
from the local or personal issues con
Eerned, indicate a breaking down Of
abe control which the Administration
agents have had over the affairs of the
party? The weakening Of this control
will not be likely To diminish as the
