marvelously beautiful and interpreta-
tive music of a master.
Organist Eaton had nine soloists, In
dependent of his large and efficient
choir, and the manner of the rendering
of the solos and choruses was almost
thrilling in effectiveness. And with the
accompaniment of the great organ,
nothing indeed was lost from the su-
perb religious work.
The persons in the cantata Calvary
are the Apostle John, the Apostle Peter,
Judas Iscariot, Mary. the disciples,
Caiaphas. Philo, Nicodemus, Joseph of
Arimathea. the witnesses, the priests
and the people.
Those among the congregation last
night who have had the rare opportu-
nifty Of hearing ,Spohrs work by the
great choirs of the East or abroad
would with full justice and without
bias place the rendition at Trinity on
equal ground with the best that has
been done vocally or instrumentally for
the composition in other musical CEN
ters.
The soloists were Miss Mlllie Flynn
and Mrs. Max Warshauer, sopranos;
Miss Una Fairweather and Mrs. Nelson
Lawrence, contraltos; Chester Rose
krans and A. G. Davis. tenors; Peter
j. Osken, c. V. Lane and G. S. Wanrell,

and full choir at a special musical serv-
ice at o'clock Wednesday night, when

FIVE JUGGLERS
WIN APPLAUSE
Orpheum Offers Novelties
and Talent Receives Warm
Welcome From Audience
MAGICIAN'S WEIRD ACTS
Anna Eva Fay Entertains a
Big Audience at the Cali
f0rnia With Her Tests

The five Mowats, jugglers, do re-
markable work at the Orpheum this
week. The quintet give an exhibition
that has never been excelled in this
city and in both single handed and
team work offer more than was ex-
pected.
One feature of the show last night
was the appearance of Jimmie Britt in
the audience. The victor of the last
fistic encounter fought in this city
walked UP the center aisle with his
friends and before he reached his seat
received an ovation. Cheers were
heard from every part of the house
and the popularity Of the champion
was apparent. Calls were made for
speech, but Britt refused to make one,
but bowed modestly TO his admirers.
Wesson, Walters and Wesson pre-
sent a farce, Hotel Repose." 1t was
full of action and the plot was good.
Coakley and Mcbride came second on
the programme and gave the audience
new gags and jokes. Their work was
good and they received much applause.
Mazuz and Mazett, in a sketch, The
Brakeman and the Tramp" did clever
acrobatic work and the makeup of the
tramp was original and characteristic.
James H. Cullen, known on the bills
as THE Party From the West" sang
several comic songs including paro-
dies, and retired with honor.
La Belle Guerrero, assisted by Du-
faure Philippe, in pantomine work,
continues in her sketch THE Rose and
the Dagger" Billy Clifford, the
Broadway Chappy," offers bunch of
new jokes and songs and is called be-
fore the curtain several times.
Taffary's dogs are on the list of hold
overs and the little animals perform
with almost human action. Adelina
Roattino and Clara Stevens repeat
their singing and dancing act and are
as popular as they were last week.
Anna Eva Fay, the woman magi-
clan, appeared at the California Thea
ter last night in a series of tests which
she characteriZes as "somnolency." A
packed house greeted Miss Fay and
her wonderful mind reading and mag
ical acts created a deep impression on
her audience. Three gentlemen were
called upon the stage in the first part
of the performance to examine the va
rious equipments. The woman magi-
clan introduced some wonderful feats.
such as playing various musical in
struments and Transforming different
articles while her hands were tied be-
hind her back. She then cut herself
loose with knife borrowed from one
of the spectators.
But the most interesting part Of the
performance was the mind reading
test. the last on the programme. Each
person in the audience was requested
TO write a question on a piece of paper
and then sign his or her name. Miss
Fay was blindfolded and she readily
picked out different persons in the au-
dience and answered their questions.
Some of them were very funny and
created a furor of applause and laugh
ter. The Fitzpatrick family and John
Lemuels. a monologist. who appear
with Miss Fay, were very entertain
ing. A series of moving pictures was
shown between acts.

CITIZENS WILL FIGHT
ROCK CRUSHER MENACE

The residents of the Noe Valley
district are still determined to fight
against the rock crushing menace.
Yesterday afternoon, a mass meeting
of the property owners was held at
Rolando's Hall, Twenty-eighth and
Church streets, for the purpose of
devising ways and means by which
the crusher may be done away with.
Speeches were made by several
prominent citizens. A representative
of the firm of Gray Brothers, owners
of the rock crusher, was present and
in behalf of his firm offered to
sprinkle the streets in the vicinity of
the crusher with oil so the residents
of the district would suffer no further
annoyance from dust and dirt. The
citizens refused to agree to any such
compromise and stated that they are
determined to get rid of the obnox-
ious rock crusher for good and all.

HARTMAN
WINS THE CASE
Preliminary Injunction Restraining
Distribution of Assets Made
Permanent

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller,
TRENTON, N. j.. July 15.-Judge
Bradford. in the states court, handed
down a decision making permanent the
preliminary injunction granted upon
the petition Of Hartman Pierce to re-
strain the Northern Securities from
carrying out its proposed plan to dis
tribute the assets of the company.
Members Of the firm of Morgan & Co.
decline to make any statement upon
the Securities decision but it is learned
that the case will be appealed. Hill
says he has not seen a copy of the
decision hence must decline to say
anything regarding the future plans of
his company.
United States Judge Bradford came
here today from Wilmington and filed
his opinion in the famous Securities
case. The result of the opinion is that
the preliminary injunction granted en-
joining the carrying out of the pro-
posed plan to distribute the stock of
ern has been made permanent.
The judge says that the litigation Is
not ripe for a final hearing and that
the provisional injunction is granted
in order to protect the rights Of the
complaintants because should a final
decision result in favor of the COM
plainants there would be no assets left
for distribution without the prelimin-
airy injunction. The merits of the main
question raised are not passed upon.
The Bradford decision today grants
preliminary injunction as stated dis
cussing its advisability the court said
such a preliminary injunction would
not interfere with the operation Of
either railroad nor be Injurious to tht
public. The decision does not provide
for form Of decree and asks for sub.
mission to the courts of such a form
