Ibsen's "Peer Gynt," In English, was
presented for the first time on any
stage by Richard Mansfield at the
Grand Opera House, Chicago, a few
nights ago.

Scenically Peer Gynt'' is the most
impressive and elaborate production

cupied and unprotected, its former
trade ceased. its lots fell to a small
part of their value, it's two weekly
newspapers were suspended, and the
town, deserted by the bulk Of its in
habitants, was at one time without a
single officer clothed with civil author
ity.'
After the first rush to the gold dig
gings the town began to regain its lost
ground, and ere long the influx of gold
seekers gave quite an impetus to its
growth The town was incorporated
in April, 1850, and the first common
council elected proceeded with diligence
to plumber the city treasury. The
same year. the state was admitted to
the Union, and when the steamer Ore
gon brought the news-there was no
telegraphic communication In those
days business was entirely suspended
and the entire population rushed to the
wharfs to welcome the harbinger. The
town had about 10000 inhabitants at
that time, and when the people were
informed that the signal flags of the
Oregon indicated that California was a
sovereign state of the United States of
| America "a universal shout arose from
10000 voices on the wharfs, in the
streets, upon the hills, housetops and

in the right direction. 1t was also dis

criminals who profited by the confu

For many years the municipal au-
tlIorities refused to permit tall build

earthquakes. several of which had al
ready been experienced. Finally the
Introduction was removed, however,
and number OF skyscrapers resulted.
Prior to 1890 there was hardly
building in excess of FIVE stories and
only a few of that height. Today there
is one eighteen stories high and quite
q number from twelve to fourteen
stories.
In the spring of 1898. about 10 o'clock
one night. the city had Il seismic shock
that put to test its high structures. 1t
was the worst earthquake since 1868
when for eight or nine blocks on the
main street (Alarkeo the ground was
cracked open several inches.
In the upheaval of 1898 the tall build
ings were given fearful shaking, anc
some of their occupants were made
dizzy and sick. The structures wer'

cottages, cabins and sheds, amid dali
ties and gardens, with a branch path
TO the Marine hospital, on Filbert
Btreet, and another to the North Beach
anchorage, where spectators were
planning wharf to attract settlement.
After the vigilance committee dis
banded the criminal element became
holder, and In 1856 the crime and cor
ruption in the city had become intol-
cradle to those who wished to live
decent and orderly life. When Editor
King of the Bulletin, who had de-
nounced the thugs, was murdered by
James p. Casey, a new vigilance or
| ganization. was created, and in few
days Casey and another murderer
named Cora were executed in front or
the committees headquarters. Many
lawbreakers were later put to death,
and the regime of the California bad
\ man. came to an end.
| 1t has been asserted that San Fran
cisco is the most cosmopolitan city In
/ the world, and by cosmopolitan Is
meant a population from all parts OF
the world. Not long ago the records
indicated, that 43 per cent of the peo-
pie of the. city were born In foreign
lands, not in two or three different
countries, but in practically every land
under the sun. According to the ma
tional census reports for 1890, San
Francisco had total population OF
29S.997. OF these 172,1S6 were native
born and 126S11 were born outside OF
the United States. Fully half the
grown persons in the community re
moved to California from alien lands
while large percentage of the othel
half and OF the general body of chill
dren were of foreign parentage. In
1900 San Francisco had population
of 49, a2. of which BAL per cent wal
foreign born.

to be very solidly constructed, being
built substantially of brick, with the
walls covered by cement. The interior
of the dome was decorated with ex-
pensive marbles taken from the Ia
cific coast mountains.

bed. Men and women rushed wildly
forth in their night robes and fed IN
panic through the streets. Many were
caught by the falling roofs and walls,
and In the poorer districts the tene-
ments collapsed like eggshells, crush
ing and suffocating their inmates be-
fore they had time to escape. In many
cases fire finished the work Of death,
catching the victims as they were
pinned still alive under the debris.
To arrest the spread of the fire along
Market street many buildings were
dynamited.
The track of one railroad was de-
pressed four feet or more for dis-
| lance Of three miles. At one point In
the city the earth cracked open for a
distance of six feet, leaving yaWnlng
chasm Of fathomless depth.
The destruction Of all telegraph wires,
except one belonging to the Postai
union, made it almost impossible TOT
I the stricken city to communicate WIN
the outside world. The severe injury
to the Western Union and Postal Of
fees, also the Associated Press, greatly
added to the difficulty.
The practical destruction of six or
eight blocks, coupled with the immense
loss of life and damage to property
throughout San Francisco and the en-
tire coast region. makes this the worst
earthquake disaster in American MS
tory. exceeding even the historic
Charleston earthquake Of few years
ago.
San Francisco has suffered IRON
many slight seismic shocks, one o.
them occurring about year ago. A
that time a long article appeared IL
one of the papers, signed by pro
lessor In one of the observatorles nea
by. stating that there was no paruc
ular danger from these tremors OF Tn
earth's surface. The coast region, &C
cording to this writer, was newer tnal
parts of the country farther east ant
was therefore settling. He said pee
Die should feel no alarm. as nothin
serious was liable to happen.
Evidently the earth's crust in tn
Golden Gate region has been dom

The most severe eaftnquahe ID
Francisco has known prior to the pre-
emit one was in 1868. Quite lit
damage resulted, though nothing r
motley comparable to this. 1t was Il
1868 shakeup that was made famo'
by Mark Twain. The most surprisiI
thing the genial Mark saw at that tin
was the opening up Of the ceiling
