glowing account OF the way seats have been
bought and the enthusiasm generally with
which the festival idea has been received.

the affair was even started fund was

ford Welpton, oontraito; Marc Lagen

people are all very we'll known and their

@nNE effect OF the calamity that has
N overtaken San Francisco Is that
the theatrical arrangements for
Efk the west will be disarranged very
NaaA@ materially. All the theaters OF
the city were wiped out by the FIRE,
and this is the end to plans laid for
the summer. only one company is posi-
lively known to have planned TO spend
the summer there. the Dillingham; COM
pany that is playing Man and Super
man.. This organization is booked to
appear in Omaha in May. Manager Bur-
CESS Is OF the opinion that the date will
be hlled, and that the company will
change Its summer season at San Fran
cisco for season at Los Angeles, Port
land and Seattle. It will be well into
the winter, more than likely, before an
other theatrical season can be opened in
San Francisco, and even then the thea
ters will be but temporary structures.
The Orpheum theater company is proba-
bly, in better shape than any Of the others,
for II had planned on building a new
theater during the summer, and was pre-
pairing to abandon its home preparatory
10 the construction Of the new building.
Being thus ready for the emergency, It
is likely the new Orpheum will be the
first Of San Francisco's theaters to re-
sumo business. In the meantime the
circuit will be completed with Los An
geles on the west. The destruction Of
the theaters in San Francisco is not the
smallest part of the calamity, for with
them went much Of the history of the
coast metropolis In an artistic sense The
San Francisco theaters were rich in
"Reminiscences and tradition, and contained
many reminders of famous stars now
gone. All this has been destroyed with
the general ruin. Many actors lost heav-
lily in the fire. the Metropolitan opera
company losing its entire wardrobe and
scenic equipment.
The week in Omaha was essentially
dull, the appearance Of the Hackett COM
pany in THE Little Gray Lady" at the
Boyd theater being the only bright spot.
Nat Wills did a fair business with his
musical farce at the Krug, and the Wood
ward Stock company was reasonably well
patronized, Offering one of the old-time
melodramas for the week The Orpheum
did its customary business with an ordi.
nary bill.

A GOOD RECORD

Lieut.-Gen. John C. Bates, who was
retired recently, is very different
type of officer from most of the gen.
erals he leaves behind him on the
active list. A junior officer during
the civil war, with unusual exper-
fence as aide to Woodworking gen.
eral like Meade, he was essentially
a product of the old school, in which
men were SO old.fashioned as not
to have realized the advantages of
political pulls and specially attached
war correspondents. So, Gen. Bates,
instead of being jumped from captain
to general, worked his way up through
every grade, with the unqualified
respect and liking OF his brother Of
ficers, who look upon his career as
model one. Wherever employed.
whether in the civil war or on riot or
Indian duty in the west; whether as
commander of brigade at Santiago,
governor of a province in Cuba, or
chief of staff of the army, he did his
work quietly, modestly, and we'll, with
no blowing of trumpets His retire
ment leaves only sixtyone civil war
veterans on the active list of the
army, and other retirements will
further reduce that number to fifty
four by the end of the year-an ex-
traordinary reduction from the five or
six hundred who were carried on the
rolls of 1898. But of those who have
preceded Gen. Bates into retirement
since that date, none have left be-
hind them a finer example for the
new generation of officers to whom
