MADAME GADSkI.

Few singers have succeeded in
impressing the musical public of
San Francisco as Madame Gadski,
says the Frisco Post.
The particular feature of Ma
dame Gadski's programs, continues
the Post, is their exhaustiveness
and their variety. AS a rule, a
great singer who appears in con.
cert surrounds herself with an ag-
gregation of lesser stars, partly,
perhaps, to enhance her own bril-
lrancy and partly to save herself
from overwork There is nothing
of this kind to be noticed in the
Gadski concerts. The great artist
not only presents a program of I'M
usual magnitude, but is very liberal
with her encores. Instead of sur
rounding herself with incompetent
talent, she has with her an accom-

convention at the New Auditorium

today, for the purpose of reorgan-
izing the Democratic party through
out the state. All Democrats, re-
CARELESS of past affiliations, have
been invited to attend the conven-
ton and have a voice in it.
The program of the Progressive
Democracy" will insist on equal
taxation, so that the railroads will
pay the same as individual proper
ty owners; on the election of Unit
ed States senators by the people
direct; on the enforcement of laws
that are now dormant when corpor-

passage of a law making debauch-

SAN FRANCISCO, March 90
What many fear may be the
death blow to prize fighting in Cali
fornia was given when the coroners
jury in the case of Harry Tenny,
who died ss the result of injuries
received in his fight with frankie
Neil held that Neil was directly
and the promoters, referee and Sec
onds were indirectly responsible
for the boys death. That is will
give the game a serious setback
there can be no doubt and that it
will result in a cleaning Of the Au-
gean stables of the fight trust Is
sincerely to be hoped. Too long
have the promoters conducted af-
fairs with an idea solely to fill their
own pockets and with absolute dis
regard of the law. When a man or
band of men descend to such a con-
dition of parsimony that it Is con-
sidered a needless extravaganza to
pay a reputable physicians fee to
examine prospective contestants
as to their physical condition, then
they sould not only not be permit
ted to have further hand in the
game, but they should be made to
feel the butt-end of the law. They
are going the limit when they put
$40 above boys life.
o o o
The death of Tenny already has
resulted in an agitation for radical
changes in the rules and conduct
of prize fights. The most sensible
suggestion made Is that the fights
be taken entirely out Of the hands
of the money-grabbing promoters
and placed under the control Of the
bona fide amateur athletic clubs. all
OF which are to be associated in
one general body. Each club would
make its own matches, fix the
purses and appoint competent and
reliable referees, but would be re-
sponsible to the central organiza-
tion for the conduct of its contests.
A board Of inquiry would be called
to Investigate suspicious fights and
falirs would be placed on the
blacklist, not temporarily. but for
life. A greater number of fights,
cheaper admission, and shorter
contests are parts Of this plan.
1t is also proposed to enforce the
use of larger and softer gloves.
o o o
That the fear of the wrath of the
law has entered the souls of the
promoters is shown by the fact that
they have made no efforts and will
make none to secure permit for q
fight this month. In the sporting
resorts where fighters congregate
the air Is surcharged with an indi.
go gloom. Boxers with the price
are, tteparing to seek other and
moro prolific climes.
All In all, the stinginess, pig
headed arrogance or worse OF
someone has given the game a ter
rife jolt.
