PARTINGTON.
The TiyoIi.

Kate Condor, whose glorious con-
tralto voice has made her an immense
favorite with San Francisco audiences,
is making the great success of her ca
reer as Dolores in the pretty comic
opera, THE Serenade,'' at the Tivoli
Opera House. Her triumph is the
more marked from the fact that sew
eTal artists of eminence have previous
ly given satisfaction in the role, but
it was not till Miss Condor sang it
that its great possibilities were thor
oughly realized. Her chief opportun-
ity occurs in the second act, when she
sings THE AngeIus'' in manner
which completely obscures the me-
mory of Jessie Bartlett Davis and ex-
cites an enthusiasm rarely witnessed
in theater. In the duets with For
rest Dabney Carr, Il Love Thee, 1
Adore Thee" and Don Jose of Sc
villa" she maintains her high artistic
standard and is liberally rewarded in
the way of applause. Judging from
the immense audiences THE Seren-
ade" is drawing, Miss Condor will sing
Dolores for many nights to come.
The third week of The Serenade"
opened last evening with a large audi
ence and no sign of abatement of pop
uiarity.

LITTLE JOE GATTA'S
NEED OF A WOODEN LEG
Hope BIighted by Arrest OF Boy and
His Father for Violating
STATUTE

Little Joe Gatta, 10 years old and
living in a small dwelling at Gerke
place on the western slope Of TeIe-
graph Hill, was taken charge of yes
terday by NJ. ]. White, secretary of
the Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Children. The boy had an ac-
cident some time ago which deprived
him of one of his limbs. Claiming
that he desired to provide himself
with wooden substitute, he daily
sat on the sidewalk near Zinkand's
cafe, where his condition attracted the
attention Of charitable persons. many
Of whom dropped dimes and nickeIs
into the cup held out by the boyish
hand. Joe's prospect of getting the
wooden leg was blighted by his re-
moval to the Boys and Girls Aid So
ciety, where he will remain until next
Friday, when Judge Murasky will hear
his tale.
In the meantime Secretary White
secured a warrant from Police Judge
Cabaniss yesterday for the arrest OF
Joe Gatta, alias Mazza, the father OF
the boy, for violating the statute pro-
hibiting the forcing Of minor children
to beg. White alleges that the father
has been profting by the boys beg
ging.

Alcazar.

Very 1attering indeed was the OPEN
ing of the last week of the engage
ment of White Whittlesey at the AL
cazar last night-fattering not only in
point of numbers, but in the heart
felt and frequent expressions of ap-
probation.
Mr.. Whittlesey gives some of his
most virile work in Camille, and a
better play could not have been chos-
en- in which to take leave of his
friends before the footlights and to
leave behind him the pleasantest
memories. His work last night showed
that he was improving materially and
had divested himself of certain weak
mannerisnls that marred his acting
Two years ago. He must be congratu-
lated at the same time upon the splen-
dld support he received at the hands
of Eugene That's Lawton, whose Ca
mile surpassed the expectations of
her most sanguine admirers. Her
work was most artistic and entirely
free from sharp corners or staginess.
There were two places especially in
winch she captured the hearts of the
audlence-her scene with Armand's s
father in the third act and the har-
rowing passages between herself and
Armand in the fourth. Marie Howe
as Madame Prudence, George Os-
bourne as Monsieur Duval and Harry
Hilliard as CASTOR Rieux were excel
lent support to the leading Characters.

SARGENT WANTS MORE
GUARDS AGAINST CHINESE
Says They Are Getting In Over the
Border by Circuitous


Frank P. Sargent, United States
Commissioner of immigration, spent
yesterday with Local Immigrant Com
missioner Hart H. North in the Chi
nese Bureau. He will leave this city
tomorrow evening for Portland, Ia
coma, Seattle and Victoria. and will
proceed toward Washington, D. c., by
the Canadian route.
Commissioner Sargent said yester-
day that his visit was merely one Of
routine, ii being his custom to make
an annual inspection of all immigrant
stations in the United States. He
was very we'll pleased, he said, with
the administration of the San Fran
cisco Office under Mr.. North and his
assistants, Captain H. H. Schell,
Charles Mehan and DIR. Gardiner
Referring to the arrest of Lee Toy
and Hippolyttus Lesola Amador Eca
Da Silva on a charge of fraudulently
importing Chinese women into the
United States, Commissioner Sargent
said that the Government was quietly
investigating the matter at st. Louis
with the hope that sufficient evidence
might be obtained to convict all the
parties concerned, including some
not now under arrest.
II shall make several recommenda-
tions on my return to Washington
added Mr.. Sargent, "by which the
efficiency of the service may be i'm
proved, especially along the Mexican
border. 1t is long boundary line
and hard to guard. Many Chinese are
getting in by circuitous routes, and
this will necessitate an increase of
the border force in some localities.
II am on record as being opposed to
the transfer of Chinese crews from
one vessel to another in our har-
bors."

Fischer's.

A large audience gathered at Fisch-
er's Theater last night to hear the
new musical burlesque, Down the
Line" The author, Howard E. Jacott,
says in the programme that he de
MES any attempt at coherency in plot
and commits this, his first effort, to the
jury with a plea for mercy" His can
dor is refreshing, and no one will
deny its truthfulness. The piece is de-
void of catchy airs, the only song that
deserves commentator being Fish
ing by Dorothy Morton, which she
so charmingly rendered for the last
two weeks in Miss Mazuma.' It is
given by request. George O'Ramey
makes a hit as the interlocutor in
"Fiseher's Minstrel Maids" and she
is also very funny in her travesty duet
with Ben Dillon and solo, "Jemima
Green, "also by request. Flossie Hope
and Pearl Hickman dance with their
usual vim and grace and the pan
tomime ballet in the last act is well
executed. The jokes are old and the
dialogue far from amusing or inter-
esting.

in the sensational melodrama, Deal

duced for the first time in this city at

fore a crowded house. The scenic eff
fects are realistic to a wonderful de-
gree and embrace many of the promi-
nent features that have noted New

portrayed by Herschel Mayall, comes
to the rescue and at the opportune

COMPANY is FORMED
TO CARRY OUT PLAN
Proposed Route Is to Run
Between Newark and San
MateO With Water COnnec-
tion at DumbartOn Point

A gigantic project, involving an ex-
penditure of over $1,000,000 and prom
ising greatly to facilitate passenger
and freight traffic between San Fran
cisco and Oakland and Alameda, has
been made public by the Southern Pa
cific Company.
A corporation, to be known as the
Central California Railway Company,
filed articles of incorporation yesterday
in this city, with the announced pur-
pose of building a railroad around the
bay shore from Newark in Alameda
County to San Mateo, a distance of
fifteen miles, connecting at the latter
point with the main lines of the South
ern Pacific. From Newark the new
line will extend to a point near Potrero
or Dumbarton Point and thence west
erly across the San Francisco Bay.
The company is incorporated for
S1,0OO,00O, of which amount $4,000 is
subscribed by the following incorpo-
rators, representing the Southern Pa
cific Company; N. T. Smith. $4,000; Will
liam Hood, $4,000; j. E. Foulds, $1,000;

pany, admitted that the great corpora
tion is behind the new company and
suggested the possibility of the Harri-
man line finally absorbing the Central
California. Continuing, he said:
The building of road at Dumbarton Point Is
a project that has been in contemplation by the
Southern Pacific Company for some time, and
this corporation was formed for the purpose of
carrying it out. The right of way has been
secured and all we need is terminal facilities
at the point. 1t is intended to build a broad
gauge road from Newark to the point and from
the point freight will be ferried across that
narrow part of the bay to the San Mateo shore.

abandoned 1t because 1t did not pay. Since
then the franchises have lapsed, but we intend
to renew them.
TO MEET A NECESSITY.
Frank Shay, another incorporation of
the new road, says President E. H.
Hartman of the Southern Pacific Com
pany had been considering the building
of the Newark-San Mateo road for
more than a year, for Director of
Transportation and Operation Julius
Kruttschnitt had thoroughly con-
vinced him Of the necessity of relieving
the heavy traffic over the bay. Said he:
The object of building the road is to obviate
the necessity of increasing the present ferry
service across the bay well TO reach the
interior traffic by a more direct route. The
building of bridge across the bay will
able US to direct TO San Francisco without
change thereby saving a great. deal of time.
The line on this side of the bay will be
built from Dumbarton Point to Newark. where
1t will connect with the South Pacific Coast
Railroad. This latter road is to be converted
into broad gauge, and will connect with the
Southern Pacific system at Niles thus enabling
to divert a large amount of traffic from
the present ferry system by going direct to
San Francisco by way of the bridge
The construction work on the new road will
be begun within thirty days and will be
pushed rapidly possible. We hope to be
gin operations in a very short time. While
the incorporators are all Southern Pacific Off
cials, the new road has at present no official
connection with the Southern Pacific Company,
but it is probable that it will eventually be
taken over by that company.

NO SECRECY PRACrICED.

As rule, the Southern Pacific Com
pany, in undertaking new railroad pro-
Jects, endeavors to conceal as far as
possible its interest in the schemes by
naming as incorporauors men who are
not closely identified with the big cor
poration. In the present instance,
however, no effort has been made to
veil the project with any mystery. On
the contrary, the plans of the company
were fully stated yesterday. One of
the main objects of the new railroad
company is to carry freight into the
city without transhipping it across
the bay from Oakland, thus relieving
the congestion of traffic that now ex-
lists between Oakland and San Fran
cisco by way of the ferry routes. Con-
struction work on the new road will
begin Immediately and be rushed
along as rapidly as material can be OBJ
tanned.
