A TIN-CAN WAR ON HAND. A Chicago Company With Mil- lions Is Ready to Fight. NEW EIVAL IN THE FIELD. A San Francisco Concern, Sus- tained by Ample Capital, Responds. A battle royal is now on between a \u25a0 Chicago firm backed by $5,00u,000 and a San Francisco institution with equal re- sources in cash. The objective point of the | contest is control of the tin-can industry of the Pacific Coast in general and the Cali- fornia market in particular. This State uses annually in the fruit and vegetable packing industry about 42,000,000 tin cans. For many years Norton JJros. of Chicago, through the Pacific Can Company, en- joyed a monopoly of this lucrative branch of manufacturing. The tirst concern to en- ter the field as a competitor was the Eagle Automatic Company oi California. Liti- gation begun by the Chicago parties imme- diately followed the invasion, but after a prolonged contest in the court the rival interests coalesced and formed a combina- I tion, which was described in The Call of j 1 last Sunday. The consolidated institution is sustained by millions ofmoney, and will fight vigorously against all comers to monopolize tiie trade. Facts are now coming to light which ex- plain the consolidation. A new and for- midable rival has appeared on the scene which expects to be able to supply the I California trade with 12,000,000 cans during I the next packing season. The contest has j progressed beyond the limits of early com- promise, and the natural result must be a •• great reduction in the price of cans, and a substantial bemlit to fruit growers and canners throughout the Pacific Coast. Some time a^o a remarkable mechanical invention was perfected in haa Francisco. I It was practically testea and so satisfactory was the result of experiments that Charles \u25a0 Josselyn, E. P. Preston and the inventor, ; Mr. Johnson, proceeded to organize and in- corporate the Great Western Can Com- pany. Briefly described, the newly in- vented machine takes the sheet of tin plate \u25a0 and produces without the touch of the : human hand a tin can, headed at each end, joined, soldered and ready for use. In the commercial world rivalry for 1 business is intense and alert agents keep their principals posted concerning new de- : velopments and new discoveries. It was i not long before the Chicago corporation was informed that a powerful rival was preparing to invade the Held in California. :The Chicago company at once dispatched ; leading attorneys and mechanical experts to San Francisco, and all the information possible was gleaned regarding the merits of the new invention, the money resources of the men controlling it and the probable production under the new process. Meanwhile E. F. Preston, the attorney I of the Great Western Company, secured I patents and called in other leading law- I yers to examine the question of infringe- i inent. When the opinion of the lawyers ; was submitted the Great Western Can :Company was inaugurated and re-enforced with ample capital. The Chicago concern in its preparation for battie lirst effected a consolidation with i the Eagle Automatic Company. When tliis concentration was accomplished Drad- j street's Agency was called in to furnish data concerning the standing and credit of j the men sustaining the California com- ! pany. X_> i 1 i 14 <?*1 1 inquiry was made in nier- , canole circles and at the banks regarding ' the c:>.sh and property resources of the leading men in the home company. The ' promoters of the new institution did not I place any obstacle in the path of inquiry ) and in course of time the Chicago agents I ascertained that their opponents were not j poor mechanics wkh a few impecunious I friends but a company of capitalists who i could command the .support of millions. The Chicago capitalists then elected to fight in the courts, perceiving that they 1 could not crush the rival company by competition in the open field. They have retained as counsel the law firm of Muri- dav, Evarts & Adcock of their t>wn city. The junior member of the firm came to Ban Francisco and a few days ago .enta lrtter to Charles Josselyn notifying him , that tiie machine used by the Great West- ' crn Can Company was an infringement ion a certain patent granted to the Eagle i Automatic Company. The ietter ordered Mr. Josselyn to desist from the manufac- : ture of tin cans at the peril of litigation. The communication was not unexpected. \u25a0 as the promoters of the home company ' knew that Chicago agents had been well I informed as to the new machine, and knew j also that trade involving 42,OOO,(X)O cans I was worth a contest." The communication was placed in the hands of E. F. Preston, attorney of the ! home company, who promptly replied that his clients proposed to transact business in their own way. He announced himself I ready to respond at once in court. The litigation will take place in the j United States Circuit Court, Judge Mc- Kenna, and promises to become one of the keene-t controversies of the year. The Great Western Can Company has just ordered from London $100,000 worth 1 of tin plate, and asserts that it will be able ! to place on the market for the coming j season's business at least 12.000,000 cans. Under the com petition y>rices are sure to come down and the fruit-growers will be the gainers. THEIR POWER DEFINED Montgomery Executors Cannot Sell the Real Property of the Estate. An Order of the Court Required According to a Decision by Judge Sanderson. Judge Sanderson handed down his opinion yesterday in the suit of Trustees W. F. Goad and A. W. Foster against Annie A. and Hazel G. Montgomery and .Mrs. Elizabeth Kodgers relative to the right of the trustees to sell or otherwise dispose of real property belonging to the Alexander Montgomery ?1. 000,000 estate. The trustees claimed th a right to sell. They were represented by Rodgers and J'atcrson and Plait & Bayne, and for the benericiaries the claim was opposed by Attorney Franklin K. Lane. Judge Sanderson declares that the trus- tees have not the power that was formally claimed by them in the suit. He says: The powers of these trustees as to such sales must, without doubt, be found either in the Will (which I think is paramount) or the de- cree of distribution, or the equity decree, and in neither of these Instruments tire such powers conferred on them, anil ifit ennnot be luund there then it does not exist at all. The will left, and intended to leave, a legacy of $1,000,000 inmoney to the trustees of the minors, who were thereby empowered to "manage" roeh legacy fur the minors tillthey reached their majority, and then "pay over' 1 same to them. Hy no process of strained con- struction can the. word "manage" be held to mean "a power to sell." The use of the word "manage" in the willis clear enough. It gives the trustees the same powers that all trustees in such cases possess, and none other. That is to say, the right and power to control and handic the fund and to loan it out at interest oa approved securities, such as bonds, mortgages and the like, and probably to purchase secure interest-bearing bonds, lor instance, therewith ; and undoubt- edly the testator had inmind that the trustees would have inhand a cash fund to "pay over 1 ' to the children at majority. But that expression in the will is oi little moment here. The suit in equity was not brought for the purpose of permitting the trustees to make an •\u25a0investment" of the minors' $1,000,000 leg- acy, but solely for the purpose of enabling the trustees to take certain real and personal prop- erty "in lieu and full satisfaction of said leg- acy." Hart the trustees, in tact, received this 81,000,000 legacy in cash they would have bad no power, I apprehend, except at their own peril, to "invest" it in "real property" by buy intr the sume without an order of court to that enect. *** Indeed, it would seem as matter of safety for themselves that the trustees would naturally and gladly turn to a court for support and pro- tection, when in their judgment sales or ex- changes of real or personal property belong- ing to their wards should be made, rather than risK the criiicism that too often falls upon tru-tees who strive intelligently and faithfully to carry out the trust they have assumed. There is risk enough of this character attend- ing such trustees who act within their obvious powers, to say nothing of attempting to exer- cise those which are, at lenst. dubious. VETERANS TAKE ACTION. Opposed to the Practice of Throwing Fruit Refuse on the Sidewalks. Petition for Relief From an Evil Which Caused an Old Sol- dier to Break His Leg. The following letter, relating to the practice of throwing refuse fruit matter on ! j the sidewalks, has been addressed to Mayor Sutro by a committee of George H. Thomas Post of the Grand Army: Haix ok Gr.ORGE H. Thomas Post No. 3,) <i. A. U., Saturday. Oct. 19, 1895. ( To Honorable Artolph, Sutro, Mayor of San I Francisco— Dkap. Sir: The undersigned beg leave to represent that they are a committee appointed by George H. Thomas Post No. H, G. A. X., s-an Francisco, at a regular meeting j held Tuesday evening, October 19, 1895, in- structed to communicate with the proper authorities of San Francisco in regard to t lie watchful care of the sidewalks and street- i crossings of the municipality,in one respect. That t lie formation of the committee arose in this way: It was reported by the chairman of the Reiief Committee that Comrade W. A. St-arles, a member of Gecge H. Thomas Post, had recently stepped and slipped on some grape skins whicn had been thrown on the I sidewalk on Grant avenue, causing the break- ing of one of his legs. Subsequently it ap- peared, in remarks to the post, and in"conver- sations among comrades, that many o.her members of the post ha 1 of late suffered from falls and sprains attributable to a similar cause. Therefore, while not professing to be a "good government" organization in any special local sense— and certainly in no partisan manner or degree— it seemed right and expedient that a committee be named and deputized to invoke the notice of the proper authorities to the com- mon and pernicious habit of throwing the peelings and skins and cores and 866dl or stones of fruitupon the sidewalks of thy City; and to ask that the habit be checked, ifnot en- tiiely done away with, by trie vigilance and the exerci«6 of the arresting power of the Police Department. - It is respectfully submitted that while our citizens are often justly warned and punished on account of failure "to strictly comply with orders which require that they shall not in- trude upon the sidewalks with signs or awn- ings, or that they shall withina brief givn time remove from the walks in front of their premises any rubbish or debris in any manner j accumulating there, it is seldom if ever the case that persons guilty of throwing refuse I inairer on the sidewalks as they pass along— j which causes the slippingand failingand stri- i otisiy injuring of other pedestrians— are appre- I hen ded and prosecuted. In excuse— if need be — and in justification of our appointment and appeal, we beg lesve to say that our society is composed of citizens whose average acre Is over 50 years, ami who have, therefore, far more than the usual lia- bility: (. bo tin- victims of the careless viola- tion of the municipal law referred to. We concluded, in the discharge of the duty assigned to us, to address the honorable Mayor of the City on the subject, believing thathe willat our request admouishingly call to this i •omplolnt the attention of those who hnve j direct police supervision of the sidewalks and street-crossings et Ban Francisco, aud thus i secure the enforcement of the la-.v found in the ! first lines of the tirst paragraph of section 2 of Order No. 1">8*. We submit that if itshall become generally known ami understood that the throwing or dr.'V^ing oi the skins and jieeliugs of fruit and any other such waste matter and debris upon the fidewalksof this City was likelyto be fol- lowed by the immediate arrest and punish- ment of the offender, and esperiflly if the probability of such personal retributive result was indicated by a few actual arrests and lin- ings or imprisonments, the danger from the source named and deplored would be almost wholly removed. Very respectfully, George Hari>castlk, John C. Currier, Committee. • — • — • FOR HOME PRODUCTS. The Manufacturers Discuss Several Im- portant Topics. The directors of the Manufacturers' and Producers' Association of California met Monday evening in tho Mills building. A communication wns received from E. M. Wilson, secretary of the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers of the United States, announcing that the California As- sociation was entitled to representation in the convention to be held next November. A delegate will be appointed in the near future. fAletter was received from the Shipowners' Association requesting the association to appoint a committee to meet witn alike committee from other commercial or- ganizations to devise ways and means for a campaign to remove port charges. The following were named as the com- mittee: G. W. Dickey, R. S. Moore, J. N. Knowles, C. E. Women, Julian Sonntag, Albert E. Castle, Joseph Spear?, Fred Tal- bot, E. C. Williams, C. S. Laumeinter. A communication was read from the Prison Directors calling attention to the fact that they purchase California goods whenever they can do so, and that they only use convicts in the manufacture of jute goods. The communication called at- tention to the great amount of goods man- ufactured in Eastern prisons, and asking the convention to investigate, and ifit found that prison-made goods should be used here such goods should be of home manufacture. The communication was referred to the committee on legislation. C. F. Smurr, in a letter, disclaimed for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company the publication in the Sacramento Record- Union of articles attacking the Manufac- turers' Association. The Union for Practical Progress, by let- ter, asked the indorsement of a plan to have the City own its own water and light. The secretary was instructed to notify the writer that this was a matter beyond the association's province. A committee of three from the associa- tion will be appointed to attend the meet- ing of the Supervisors when the matter of Batro's boiler is discussed. The chairman announced the following names of chairmen of committees: Fi- nance, .7. P. Currier; transportation, water and light, M. J. Keller; promotion, W. P. Bowers; legislation, Julian Sonntag; mu- nicipalities, R. S. Moore; power and fuel, A. McLaughlin; publication, L. K. Mead; new industries, Louis SSaroni; grievance, James Sproule. Messrs.

DECENT GARB FOR BURIAL. Improvements Introduced at the City and County Hospital. Dr. F. H. Stahle Has Already Shown Ability in His New Role. Dr. F. H. Stahle, the new superintend- ent of the City and County Hospital, has already made some alterations in the in- stitution. The big tanks that lay underneath the building unused for many years until they were forgotten by the hospital attaches have been utilized for garbage, which was formerly dumped at the rear of the build- ing and was a constant menace to the health of all within its walls. These tank s wore discovered by the doctor. He will add one or more to the number, thus in- suring that refuse shall no longer bo per- mitted to exist as a hotbed of disease. The doctor will recommend that the Board of Health add hve nurses to the corps now engaged at the hospital. The need of this measure will be seen from the fact that wiiile the nurses at the City and County Hospital have an average of fif- teen patients under their charge, those en- gaged in many similar institutions in this City and elsewhere arc intrusted with two to three. Thus far tiiere has been no de- crease nor addition in the force employed at the hospital, but there has been some shifting of workers for the improvement of the various departments. While a Call reporter was awaiting an audience with Dr. Stalile in the Superin- tendent's office a representative of one of the undertaker's firms that holds a con- tract with the City presented himself. "Tell your employer," said the Superin- tendent, "that no body shall be removed until itis covered. I have been informed that there has been no such rule in the past. I may have been misinformed, but I want it understood that such a rule is in force from this moment. The bodies must be decently wrapped before being re- moved." "There are but two hospitals in the United States whose expenses are less than this institution's," said Dr. StahJe. "They are the City Hospital at St. Louis, where the yearly expense is $65 for each inmate, and that of New Orleans, which is tan at an expense of $60." Dr. Stahle said the lieure should be raised to $92 an inmate, in order to enable the management to introduce needed re- forms and to accommodate the number that will be sure to apply for care during the winter months. That number he be- lieved will reach at least 400. At times it amounted to 475. At this estimate the appropriation, which is now $80,000 per annum, would have to be increased to $128,000. ANOTHER SUNSET FLYER. The Trip to New Orleans to Be Made In Seventy-Eight Hours. In the train service department of the Southern Pacific Company active prepara- tions are now bein^r made for the inaugu- tion of the Sunset limited trains which are to be put on on the Ist of the month. They will make the run between this City and New Orleans in seventy-eight hours. The trains will run twice a week, proba- bly until the end of March, 189<>, and pos- sibly a once a week service wili be con- tinued iater. The first train will leave San Francisco Saturday, November 2, and on each Saturday and Tuesday during the pe- riod mentioned, ana the first train will leave New Orleans Thursday, October 31, and subsequently on each' Thursday and Monday. These trains will consist of a composite smoking and baggage car, with barber shoo and bathroom ; compartment ladies' parlor car: double drawing-room sleeping cars and dining car, with service a la carte. A lady's maid will accompany each train for the accommodation of passengers, more particularly for those traveling with- out escort. Owing to the derailment caused by the washing of sand upon the Southern Pacific Kailroad track by the rain of Sunday the westbound train, due here at 10:45 a. m. yesterday, was eight and a half hours late in arriving in this City. The accident oc- curred a little south of Bakerstield about 9 o'clock Sunday night, and though no seri- ous damage was done to engines or cars, it required considerable hard work on the part of the wrecking train to clear the track. The eastbound overland on this route was also delayed by the accident. Next Sunday will see the last excursion train for the season to Monterey on the Coast division, and also the last to Santa Cruz on the narrow-gauge. DISTRICT NURSES' BENEFIT. "Jack and His lay" at the California To-llorrow Evening. To-morrow evening and on Saturday afternoon benefit performances of "Jack and his Fay" will be given at the Califor- nia Theater to assist in raising funds to carry on the work of the free district nurses of the International Nurses' Asso- ciation. The music of the piece is catchy and the cast will be strong, over 200 children as- sisting in the performance, the main parts of whieb will be taken by adults. The special object is to provide funds where- with to house some special cases reeding closer attention and that no other charity in town covers. A large number of prominent people of this City have expressed themselves in sympathy with the work of the association and tbe advance sale of seats has assured a big nouse. MR. AIKEN RECALLED. The Supervising Architect of the Treas- ur.v Department Departs. As a result of the recent unpleasantness between Supervising Architect Aiken of the Treasury Department and Collector of the Port Wise the former has been re- called to Washington, where it is expected he will be disciplined for discourtesy to the Collector and neglect to obey the or- ders of the Secretary. The telegram re- calling him came several days ago, but he was then in the Yosemite Valley and did not know of the matter until the message was handed him at Sacramento by Mr. Wise, when he at once boarded an east- bound train. No charges have been tiled against him, but itis said that his conduct has been generally unsatisfactory to the department. AN UNSATISFACTORY TEST Three Streetcar Fenders Tried by the Board of Super- visors. no decision yet reached. Mayor Sutro Considers the Trial a Failure—His Views on Fenpers. Another test of streetcar fenders was made yesterday forenoon on west Mission street. Three fenders, the Baltimore, the Markley and the Colman-Gauder were tried, but without results entirely satisfac- tory to the Supervisors present. Mayor Sttfro attended with the Super- visors. The streetcar company was rep- resented by Manager Vining and ex-Man- ager Stein of the Market-street system. The Baltimore fender was attached to an electriccar and a dummy placed standing on the track. The car was run at a speed of ten miles an hour, and the dummy was thrown clear from the track when struck by the fender. The test was then made with the dummy laid across the rails, with the result that sometimes it would be picked up and carried until the car stopped and sometimes the dummy would be rolled underneath the fendfr. The Markley fender broke down when tried, and could not be given a fair test and the Colman-Gauder invention gave similar results to those of the trial of the Baltimore. After giving the fenders a thorough trial tiie Supervisors proceeded to Thirtieth ami (iuerrero streets to observe the work- ing of the fender used by the San Mateo line. The dummies were employed with re- sults not materially different from those obtained in the ca«es of the other fenders. Sometimes the imitation body would be thrown from the rails or picked up, and at others it would be mangled by being run under. None of the fenders gave sufficient satisfaction to warrant the Supervisors present making a recommendation in favor of any particular one, and it was for that reason decided to have another test before making a decision. From the trial given the Markley fender it seemed to be the opinion that had it been built more substantially it would have given the best results of any that had been tried. Yesterday's was the first test Mayor Sutro has attended. He pronounced the tiiala failure and said he would oppose the adoption of any of the fenders. According to E. P. Vining, general man- ager of the Market-street Railway Com- pany, the Baltimore fender proved the mosf. satisfactory. "I am of thp opinion, and have been for some time past, that the Baltimore fender is the best by far that baa been tested here, and also the best in the East," he said. "The Supervisors, however, have the selection, and whichever they decide upon we must put on all our cars within thirty days after they officially announce their choice." AN ELECTRIC CAB. FITTED WITH THE BALTIMOBE FJSNjjER. THE DEMON JEALOUSY. John Rush and His Wife After Twenty- Four Years of Married Life Get Into Trouble. John Rush, a carpenter living at 120 Tenth street, appeared in Judge Low's court yesterday to answer the chargß of as- sault with a deadly weapon upon Charles Spofford, a gripman. Rush and his wife have been married twenty-four years, but about a year ago they agreed to a separation, as they could not live happily together. They continued to live in the same house but occupied separate apartments. Recently Mrs. Rush commenced proceedings for divorce. Spofford ia a friend of Mrs. Rush and used to visit her frequently, which roused the demon of jealousy in Rush's heart. He U3ed to shadow them and see them kiss each other good-by. Last Sunday night Spofford and Mrs. Rush went to church, and after their return were sitting in Mrs. Rush's apartments, when Rush opened the door and in forcible language ordered Spofford to leave the house. Spofford ob- jected, and Mrs. Rush tried to d>*ag her husband away. A scuffle followed, and Rush struck Spofford over the head with his cane. The boarders in the house inter- fered and stopped further trouble. Rush was arrested, and Spofford had his wound dressed at the Receiving Hospital. Several witnesses gave Rush a bad repu- tation for not keeping the peace toward his Wife, and the Judge decided to hold him to answer before the Superior Court in $500 bonds. '•Now," said Attorney Bull, who ap- peared as special prosecutor, "I want to announce to the defendant in open court that he niu.st keep away from 120 ami 122 Tenth street pending the divorce proceed- ings." "He will do nothing of the kind," re- torted Attorney Nagle, who defended Rush. "Well, then," said the Judge, "I will hold him in $5000 bonds, as in his present state of mind he might kill somebody." Later, on the promise of Attorney Nagle that he would see that his client kept away from Mrs. Rush, the Judge reserved his decision till to-day. DOCKERY'S MILK CRUSADE Over Forty Arrests Made in Considerably Less Than Thirty Days. THE INSPECTOR A DEFENDANT. A Restaurant-Keeper Charges Him With Dumping Pure Milk. MilkInspector Dockerv has been in office considerably less than thirty days, yet he has brought about snch a revolution in the milk business of San Francisco as was hardly areamed of. What is better still it gives every promise of being lasting in its effects. During the twenty-three days of Mr. Dockery's reign he has made 114 inspec- tions, resulting in over forty arrests. In addition to this Bacteriologist Spencer has some ten or twelve samples yet to analyze which it is thought probable will result in several more arrests. This is certainly a magnificent showing and Mr. Dockery not only has cause for self-congratulation but is deserving the thanks of every believer in pure food in San Francisco. As the result of Mr. Dockery's Tuesday morning raid warrants were yesterday is- sued for the arrest of the following: P. Paliasson, F. Mozzetti, James Kenny, A. de Sante, Carl Savanello, Antone Simon, Fred Simon, Kussis & Reeli, Fred Ban- roan, John Bauman. Jacob Heim, Alex Simon, P. Gioldi, J. Christain. Justice Kerrigan's courtroom was crowded yesterday morning with milkmen. wljo had come up from San Mateo County to testify in the suit instituted by C. G. Lar- sen of 33 Eddy street against In- spector Dockery. The Milbrae dairy is interested in the suit, because it supplied the milk to Larsen. Early in the cam- paign for pure milk, .Dockery visited Lar- sen s place, and after testing the milk on hand, decided that it was not up to stand- ard. There were thirty-six gallons of the milk, valued at $0, and in spite of the pro- test of Mr. Larsen the entire lot was dumped into the street. Larsen then tiled suit for the value of the milk, with damages and costs added. Larsen's attorney stated that he was prepared to show that the milk was pure, and asked that the cause be heard at once. Dociery looked around him and saw some forty milkmen present as witnesses. Then it was that he jrave evidence of being some- what of a diplomat. He demanded a jury trial, and so the case was set down for No- vember 5. Dennis Spencer will represent Mr. Dockery. J. Ncwmeyer. Adolph Manthe and Georce Schuniph, three milk-dealers who pleaded not guilty in Judge Conlan's court on Saturday to the charge of selling adul- terated miik, changed their plea when ihe cases were called yesterday, and the Judge fined them $10 "each. L. J. Ewell's case will be tried before a jury on Tuesday, November 6, and the case of E. F. Grabo, who wanted a jury, was continued till after Ewell's case is disposed of. The inspector says that in all cases he will in future ask the Judges to impose the fullest penalty, as there is now no excuse for the dealers of a first offense, that period having passed. John Tscheinen of the Swiss dairy, San Bruno road, states that hia milk was'found up to the siandard by Inspector Dockery, and that it was not dumped as stated. That, he says, was the fate of the com- modity sold by a concern of almost identi- cal name. MIDWEEK THEATER NOTES. The Varieties in "The Passing Show " Entertain at the Baldwin. V A Good Performance of ''Caval- leria Rusticana" at the Tivoli. "The Passing Show" is the sort of per- formance that a seasoned theater-goer would be likely to see if he partook of plum pudding and Welsh rarebit for supper and retired to rest to let then* fight it out. In that sleep dreams would come and a phantasmagoria like "The Passing Show" would be a very appropriate sort of a vision under the circumstances. This performance which is entertaining Baldwin audiences is a sort of continuous burlesque on most of the recent perform- ances, "The Amazons," "Sowing the Wind," etc., etc. When one has seen the play that is being produced, it is easy to admire the caricatures. When one has not seen the original, one has to subsist, dramatically speaking, upon the dancing, the costume 3 and sometimes the singing. "The Passing Show" is really a superior sort of variety entertainment, where the specialties follow thick and fast on one another ana keep the audience on the gui vive to know what unexpected turn will come next. Offenbach's "Marriage by Lantern" is used to fill up the bill, but the real attrac- tion at the Tivoli this week is the "Caval- leria Rusticana," in which Ida Valerga and Martin Pache carry off all the honors. Valerga is histrionically and vocally a good Santuzza. She acts and sings with passion and intensity, and Pache's declamatory methods make him especially suited to in- terpreting the passionate, brutal role of Tarridu. These two* artists carry all before them with a dramatic intensity that exactly fits in with the fierce Sicilian story. Poor Raffael is left behind in the race. Alh'o is always a thankless part, but Raffael sings his postillion s song in a way that is pos- itively tame. When his jealousy is aroused he grows a little more intense, but not enough so. The Tivoli chorus is rather hampered by Mascagni's music, but "Let us sing" is well given. Taken altogether "Cavalleria Rusticana" is well worth seeing. "Prince Ananias" is drawing as it de- serves to do at the Columbia Theater. The bright, pretty music is well sung, and Barnabee's jokes prove hugely entertain- ing. The Bostonians' new work, "A War- time Wedding," is said to be a serious opera. If successful it will take its place in their repertoire. "Pink Dominoes" is doing good business at Grover's Alcazar. It is a capital farce- comedy, and is well played; in fact, the play is a case of the survival of the fitcest. It describes adventures at Creraorne. a place of entertainment in London that has long become a thing of the past, while "Pink Dominoes" is still flourishing. Gracie Plaisted's part suits her especially well, and Miss Kennark plays the confid- ing, deceived and forgiving wife naturally and well. In "ADark Secret" at Morosco's, the plot works naturally and easily up to tho climax, and the parts are well sustained. Henley Regatta is most realistically pre- sented, nothing being forgotten, even to Punch and Judy and the nigger minstrels. Miss Thrupp's songs and' dances are splendid, and Robert McArthur rightly receives an ovation. At the Orpheum the new attractions vie with one another in popular favor. Ella Znila ar.d Lulu, the tight wire performers, are not only very dextrous and daring, but their performance is abo graceful and pretty to look at. Charles \V. lvnex, the California barytone, has made quire a hit, and the Trilby dunce- hare proved orna- mental as well as effective features of the entertainment. Fialkowaki, Kennedy and all the other performers of last week are winning their usual applause. James M. Ward is concluding a sec- ond successful week at the tenple's Thea- ter. Miss Reid, the leading lady, has a rather weak part. Mrs. Buckley, aa Mrs. Carrigan, tin old Irish apple-woman, is able to do «onif very effective work, though. Little Baby Lewis is as cute a little tough boy aa was ever seen on the local stage. Dixey will give an "afternoon" at the Baldwin next Sunday with added special- ties.

ATIN-CAN WAR ON HAND.A Chicago Company With Mil-
lions Is Ready toFight.
NEW EIVAL IN THE FIELD.
A San Francisco Concern, Sus-tained by AmpleCapital,
Responds.
A battle royal is now on between a \u25a0
Chicago firm backed by $5,00u,000 and aSan Francisco institution with equal re-sources in cash. The objective point of the |contest is control of the tin-can industry ofthe Pacific Coast in general and the Cali-fornia market in particular. This Stateuses annually in the fruit and vegetablepacking industry about 42,000,000 tin cans.
For many years Norton JJros. of Chicago,
through the Pacific Can Company, en-joyed a monopoly of this lucrative branchof manufacturing. The tirst concern to en-ter the field as a competitor was the EagleAutomatic Company oi California. Liti-gation begun by the Chicago parties imme-diately followed the invasion, but after aprolonged contest in the court the rivalinterests coalesced and formed a combina-Ition, which was described in The Callof j1 last Sunday. The consolidated institutionis sustained by millions ofmoney, and willfight vigorously against all comers tomonopolize tiie trade.
Facts are now coming to light which ex-plain the consolidation. A new and for-midable rival has appeared on the scenewhich expects to be able to supply the
ICalifornia trade with12,000,000 cans duringIthe next packing season. The contest hasjprogressed beyond the limits of early com-promise, and the natural result must be a••great reduction in the price of cans, and asubstantial bemlit to fruit growers andcanners throughout the Pacific Coast.
Some time a^o a remarkable mechanicalinvention was perfected in haa Francisco.
IItwas practically testea and so satisfactorywas the result of experiments that Charles
\u25a0 Josselyn, E. P. Preston and the inventor,;Mr.Johnson, proceeded to organize and in-
corporate the Great Western Can Com-pany. Briefly described, the newly in-vented machine takes the sheet of tin plate
\u25a0 and produces without the touch of the: human hand a tin can, headed at each end,
joined, soldered and ready for use.In the commercial world rivalry for
1 business is intense and alert agents keeptheir principals posted concerning new de-
:velopments and new discoveries. It wasinot long before the Chicago corporation
was informed that a powerful rival waspreparing to invade the Held in California.
:The Chicago company at once dispatched;leading attorneys and mechanical experts
to San Francisco, and all the informationpossible was gleaned regarding the meritsof the new invention, the money resourcesof the men controlling it and the probableproduction under the new process.
Meanwhile E. F. Preston, the attorneyIof the Great Western Company, securedIpatents and called in other leading law-Iyers to examine the question of infringe-iinent. When the opinion of the lawyers;was submitted the Great Western Can:Company was inaugurated and re-enforced
with ample capital.The Chicago concern in its preparation
for battie lirst effected a consolidation withi the Eagle Automatic Company. Whentliis concentration was accomplished Drad-
j street's Agency was called in to furnishdata concerning the standing and credit of
j the men sustaining the California com-!pany. X_>i1i14 <?*1 1 inquiry was made in nier-, canole circles and at the banks regarding'
the c:>.sh and property resources of theleading men in the home company. The'promoters of the new institution did not
Iplace any obstacle in the path of inquiry) and incourse of time the Chicago agents
Iascertained that their opponents were notj poor mechanics wkh a few impecuniousIfriends but a company of capitalists whoicould command the .support of millions.
The Chicago capitalists then elected tofight in the courts, perceiving that they
1 could not crush the rivalcompany bycompetition in the open field. They haveretained as counsel the law firm of Muri-dav, Evarts & Adcock of their t>wn city.The junior member of the firm came toBan Francisco and a few days ago .entalrtter to Charles Josselyn notifying him, that tiie machine used by the Great West-'crn Can Company was an infringement
ion a certain patent granted to the Eaglei Automatic Company. The ietter orderedMr. Josselyn to desist from the manufac-
:ture of tin cans at the peril of litigation.The communication was not unexpected.
\u25a0 as the promoters of the home company'knew that Chicago agents had been wellIinformed as to the new machine, and knewj also that trade involving 42,OOO,(X)O cansI was worth a contest."
The communication was placed in thehands of E. F. Preston, attorney of the
!home company, who promptly replied thathis clients proposed to transact business intheir own way. He announced himself
Iready to respond at once in court.The litigation will take place in the
j United States Circuit Court, Judge Mc-Kenna, and promises to become one ofthe keene-t controversies of the year.
The Great Western Can Company hasjust ordered from London $100,000 worth
1 of tin plate, and asserts that it willbe able! to place on the market for the comingj season's business at least 12.000,000 cans.
Under the com petition y>rices are sure tocome down and the fruit-growers will bethe gainers.
THEIR POWER DEFINEDMontgomery Executors Cannot
Sell the Real Property
of the Estate.
AnOrder of the Court RequiredAccording to a Decision by
Judge Sanderson.
Judge Sanderson handed down hisopinion yesterday in the suit of TrusteesW. F. Goad and A. W. Foster againstAnnie A. and Hazel G. Montgomery and.Mrs. Elizabeth Kodgers relative to theright of the trustees to sell or otherwisedispose of real property belonging to theAlexander Montgomery ?1.000,000 estate.
The trustees claimed tha right to sell.They were represented by Rodgers andJ'atcrson and Plait & Bayne, and for thebenericiaries the claim was opposed byAttorney Franklin K. Lane.
Judge Sanderson declares that the trus-tees have not the power that was formallyclaimed by them in the suit. He says:
The powers of these trustees as to such salesmust, without doubt, be found either in theWill (which Ithink is paramount) or the de-cree of distribution, or the equity decree, andin neither of these Instruments tire suchpowers conferred on them, anil ifit ennnot beluund there then itdoes not exist at all.
The willleft, and intended to leave, a legacyof $1,000,000 inmoney to the trustees of theminors, who were thereby empowered to"manage" roeh legacy fur the minors tilltheyreached their majority, and then "pay over' 1
same to them. Hy no process of strained con-struction can the. word "manage" be held tomean "a power to sell."
The use of the word "manage" in the willisclear enough. Itgives the trustees the samepowers that all trustees insuch cases possess,and none other. That is to say, the right andpower to control and handic the fund and toloan it out at interest oa approved securities,
such as bonds, mortgages and the like, andprobably to purchase secure interest-bearingbonds, lor instance, therewith ; and undoubt-edly the testator had inmind that the trusteeswould have inhand a cash fund to "pay over 1
'to
the children at majority. But that expressionin the will is oi little moment here.
The suit in equity was not brought for thepurpose of permitting the trustees to make an•\u25a0investment" of the minors' $1,000,000 leg-acy, but solely for the purpose of enabling thetrustees to take certain real and personal prop-erty "in lieu and fullsatisfaction of said leg-acy." Hart the trustees, in tact, received this81,000,000 legacy in cash they would havebad no power, Iapprehend, except at theirown peril, to "invest" itin"real property" bybuy intr the sume without an order of court tothat enect.
* * *Indeed, it would seem as matter of safety for
themselves that the trustees would naturallyand gladly turn to a court for support and pro-tection, when in their judgment sales or ex-changes of real or personal property belong-ing to their wards should be made, rather thanrisK the criiicism that too often falls upontru-tees who strive intelligentlyand faithfullyto carry out the trust they have assumed.There is risk enough of this character attend-ing such trustees who act within their obviouspowers, to say nothing of attempting to exer-cise those which are, at lenst. dubious.
VETERANS TAKE ACTION.Opposed to the Practice of
Throwing Fruit Refuse onthe Sidewalks.
Petition forRelief From an EvilWhich Caused an Old Sol-
dier to Break His Leg.
The following letter, relating to thepractice of throwing refuse fruit matter on!
j the sidewalks, has been addressed to MayorSutro by a committee of George H.ThomasPost of the Grand Army:
Haix ok Gr.ORGE H.Thomas Post No. 3,)<i.A. U., Saturday. Oct. 19, 1895. (
To Honorable Artolph, Sutro, Mayor of SanIFrancisco— Dkap. Sir: The undersigned beg
leave to represent that they are a committeeappointed by George H. Thomas Post No. H,G. A. X.,s-an Francisco, at a regular meeting
j held Tuesday evening, October 19, 1895, in-structed to communicate with the properauthorities of San Francisco in regard to tliewatchful care of the sidewalks and street-
icrossings of the municipality,inone respect.That tlie formation of the committee arose
in this way: Itwas reported by the chairmanof the Reiief Committee that Comrade W. A.St-arles, a member of Gecge H. Thomas Post,had recently stepped and slipped on somegrape skins whicn had been thrown on the
Isidewalk on Grant avenue, causing the break-ing of one of his legs. Subsequently it ap-peared, in remarks to the post, and in"conver-sations among comrades, that many o.hermembers of the post ha 1 of late suffered fromfalls and sprains attributable to a similarcause.
Therefore, while not professing to be a "goodgovernment" organization in any special localsense— and certainly in no partisan manner ordegree— itseemed right and expedient that acommittee be named and deputized to invokethe notice of the proper authorities to the com-mon and pernicious habit of throwing thepeelings and skins and cores and 866dl orstones of fruitupon the sidewalks of thy City;and to ask that the habit be checked, ifnot en-tiiely done away with,by trie vigilance andthe exerci«6 of the arresting power of thePolice Department.
-It is respectfully submitted that while our
citizens are often justly warned and punishedon account of failure "to strictly comply withorders which require that they shall not in-trude upon the sidewalks with signs or awn-ings, or that they shall withina brief givntime remove from the walks in front of theirpremises any rubbish or debris in any manner
j accumulating there, it is seldom if ever thecase that persons guilty of throwing refuse
Iinairer on the sidewalks as they pass along—j which causes the slippingand failingand stri-iotisiy injuringof other pedestrians— are appre-Ihen ded and prosecuted.
In excuse— if need be—
and in justificationof our appointment and appeal, we beg lesveto say that our society is composed of citizenswhose average acre Is over 50 years, ami whohave, therefore, far more than the usual lia-bility:(. bo tin- victims of the careless viola-tion of the municipal law referred to.
We concluded, in the discharge of the dutyassigned to us, to address the honorable Mayorof the City on the subject, believing thathewillat our request admouishingly call to this
i•omplolnt the attention of those who hnvej direct police supervision of the sidewalks andstreet-crossings et Ban Francisco, aud thus
isecure the enforcement of the la-.v found in the! first lines of the tirst paragraph of section 2of
Order No. 1">8*.We submit that if itshall become generally
known ami understood that the throwing ordr.'V^ing oi the skins and jieeliugs of fruit andany other such waste matter and debris uponthe fidewalksof this City was likelyto be fol-lowed by the immediate arrest and punish-ment of the offender, and esperiflly if theprobability of such personal retributive resultwas indicated by a few actual arrests and lin-ings or imprisonments, the danger from thesource named and deplored would be almostwhollyremoved. Very respectfully,

The Manufacturers Discuss Several Im-portant Topics.
The directors of the Manufacturers' andProducers' Association of California metMonday evening in tho Mills building.

DECENT GARB FOR BURIAL.Improvements Introduced at
the City and CountyHospital.
Dr. F. H. Stahle Has Already
Shown Abilityin HisNew Role.
Dr. F. H. Stahle, the new superintend-ent of the City and County Hospital, hasalready made some alterations in the in-stitution.
The bigtanks that lay underneath thebuilding unused for many years until theywere forgotten by the hospital attacheshave been utilized for garbage, which wasformerly dumped at the rear of the build-ing and was a constant menace to thehealth of all within its walls. These tank swore discovered by the doctor. He willadd one or more to the number, thus in-suring that refuse shall no longer bo per-mitted to exist as a hotbed of disease.
The doctor will recommend that theBoard of Health add hve nurses to thecorps now engaged at the hospital. Theneed of this measure willbe seen from thefact that wiiile the nurses at the City andCounty Hospital have an average of fif-teen patients under their charge, those en-gaged inmany similar institutions in thisCity and elsewhere arc intrusted with twoto three. Thus far tiiere has been no de-crease nor addition in the force employedat the hospital, but there has been someshifting of workers for the improvementof the various departments.
While a Call reporter was awaiting anaudience withDr. Stalile in the Superin-tendent's office a representative of one ofthe undertaker's firms that holds a con-tract with the City presented himself.
"Tell your employer," said the Superin-tendent, "that no body shall be removeduntilitis covered. Ihave been informedthat there has been no such rule in thepast. Imay have been misinformed, butIwant itunderstood that such a rule is inforce from this moment. The bodies mustbe decently wrapped before being re-moved."
"There are but two hospitals in theUnited States whose expenses are lessthan this institution's," said Dr. StahJe."They are the City Hospital at St. Louis,where the yearly expense is $65 for eachinmate, and that of New Orleans, which istan at an expense of$60."
Dr. Stahle said the lieure should be
raised to $92 an inmate, in order to enablethe management to introduce needed re-forms and to accommodate the numberthat will be sure to apply for care duringthe winter months. That number he be-lieved willreach at least 400. At times itamounted to 475. At this estimate theappropriation, which is now $80,000 perannum, would have to be increased to$128,000.
ANOTHER SUNSET FLYER.The Trip to New Orleans to Be Made In
Seventy-Eight Hours.In the train service department of the
Southern Pacific Company active prepara-tions are now bein^r made for the inaugu-tion of the Sunset limited trains which areto be put on on the Ist of the month. Theywill make the run between this City andNew Orleans in seventy-eight hours.
The trains willrun twice a week, proba-bly until the end of March, 189<>, and pos-sibly a once a week service wili be con-tinued iater. The first train willleave SanFrancisco Saturday, November 2, and oneach Saturday and Tuesday during the pe-riod mentioned, ana the first train willleave New Orleans Thursday, October 31,and subsequently on each' Thursday andMonday.
These trains will consist of a compositesmoking and baggage car, with barbershoo and bathroom ;compartment ladies'parlor car: double drawing-room sleepingcars and dining car, with service a la carte.A lady's maid willaccompany each trainfor the accommodation of passengers,more particularly for those traveling with-out escort.
Owing to the derailment caused by thewashing of sand upon the Southern PacificKailroad track by the rain of Sunday thewestbound train, due here at 10:45 a. m.yesterday, was eight and a half hours latein arriving in this City. The accident oc-curred a little south of Bakerstield about 9o'clock Sunday night, and though no seri-ous damage was done toengines or cars, itrequired considerable hard work on thepart of the wrecking train to clear thetrack. The eastbound overland on thisroute was also delayed by the accident.
Next Sunday willsee the last excursiontrain for the season to Monterey on theCoast division, and also the last to SantaCruz on the narrow-gauge.

MR. AIKEN RECALLED.The Supervising Architect of the Treas-
ur.v Department Departs.
As a result of the recent unpleasantness
between Supervising Architect Aiken ofthe Treasury Department and Collector ofthe Port Wise the former has been re-called to Washington, where it is expectedhe will be disciplined for discourtesy tothe Collector and neglect to obey the or-ders of the Secretary. The telegram re-calling him came several days ago, but hewas then in the Yosemite Valley and didnot know of the matter until the messagewas handed him at Sacramento by Mr.Wise, when he at once boarded an east-bound train.
No charges have been tiled against him,but itis said that his conduct has beengenerally unsatisfactory to the department.
AN UNSATISFACTORY TESTThree Streetcar Fenders Tried
by the Board of Super-
visors.
no decision yet reached.
Mayor Sutro Considers the
Triala Failure—His Viewson Fenpers.
Another test of streetcar fenders wasmade yesterday forenoon on west Missionstreet. Three fenders, the Baltimore, theMarkley and the Colman-Gauder weretried, but without results entirely satisfac-tory to the Supervisors present.
Mayor Sttfro attended with the Super-visors. The streetcar company was rep-resented by Manager Vining and ex-Man-ager Stein of the Market-street system.
The Baltimore fender was attached to anelectriccar and a dummy placed standingon the track. The car was run at a speedof ten miles an hour, and the dummy was
thrown clear from the track when struckby the fender. The test was then madewith the dummy laid across the rails, withthe result that sometimes it would bepicked up and carried until the car stoppedand sometimes the dummy would berolled underneath the fendfr.
The Markley fender broke down whentried, and could not be given a fair testand the Colman-Gauder invention gavesimilar results to those of the trial of theBaltimore.
After giving the fenders a thoroughtrial tiieSupervisors proceeded to Thirtiethami (iuerrero streets to observe the work-ing of the fender used by the San Mateoline.
The dummies were employed with re-sults not materially different from thoseobtained in the ca«es of the other fenders.Sometimes the imitation body would bethrown from the rails or picked up, and atothers itwould be mangled by being rununder. None of the fenders gave sufficientsatisfaction to warrant the Supervisorspresent making a recommendation infavor of any particular one, and itwas forthat reason decided to have another testbefore making a decision. From the trialgiven the Markley fender it seemed to bethe opinion that had it been built moresubstantially it would have given the bestresults of any that had been tried.
Yesterday's was the first test MayorSutro has attended. He pronounced thetiiala failure and said he would opposethe adoption of any of the fenders.
According to E. P. Vining, general man-ager of the Market-street Railway Com-pany, the Baltimore fender proved themosf. satisfactory."Iam of thpopinion, and have been for
some time past, that the Baltimore fenderis the best by far that baa been testedhere, and also the best in the East," hesaid. "The Supervisors, however, havethe selection, and whichever they decideupon we must put on all our cars withinthirty days after they officiallyannouncetheir choice."
AN ELECTRIC CAB. FITTED WITH THE BALTIMOBE FJSNjjER.
THE DEMON JEALOUSY.John Rush and His Wife After Twenty-
Four Years of Married Life GetInto Trouble.
John Rush, a carpenter living at 120Tenth street, appeared in Judge Low'scourt yesterday to answer the chargß of as-sault with a deadly weapon upon CharlesSpofford, a gripman.
Rush and his wife have been marriedtwenty-four years, but about a year agothey agreed to a separation, as they couldnot live happily together. They continuedto live in the same house but occupiedseparate apartments. Recently Mrs. Rushcommenced proceedings for divorce.
Spofford ia a friend of Mrs. Rush andused to visit her frequently, which rousedthe demon of jealousy in Rush's heart.He U3ed to shadow them and see them kisseach other good-by. Last Sunday nightSpofford and Mrs. Rush went to church,and after their return were sitting in Mrs.Rush's apartments, when Rush openedthe door and in forcible language orderedSpofford to leave the house. Spofford ob-jected, and Mrs. Rush tried to d>*ag herhusband away. A scuffle followed, and
Rush struck Spofford over the head withhis cane. The boarders in the house inter-fered and stopped further trouble. Rushwas arrested, and Spofford had his wounddressed at the Receiving Hospital.
Several witnesses gave Rush a bad repu-tation for not keeping the peace toward hisWife, and the Judge decided to hold him toanswer before the Superior Court in$500bonds.
'•Now," said Attorney Bull, who ap-peared as special prosecutor, "Iwant toannounce to the defendant in open courtthat he niu.st keep away from 120 ami 122Tenth street pending the divorce proceed-ings."
"He will do nothing of the kind," re-torted Attorney Nagle, who defendedRush.
"Well, then," said the Judge, "Iwillhold him in $5000 bonds, as in his presentstate of mind he might killsomebody."
Later, on the promise of Attorney Naglethat he would see that his client keptaway from Mrs. Rush, the Judge reservedhis decision till to-day.
DOCKERY'S MILKCRUSADEOver Forty Arrests Made in
Considerably Less ThanThirty Days.
THE INSPECTOR A DEFENDANT.
A Restaurant-Keeper Charges
Him With Dumping PureMilk.
MilkInspector Dockerv has been inofficeconsiderably less than thirty days, yet hehas brought about snch a revolution in themilk business of San Francisco as washardly areamed of. What is better still itgives every promise of being lasting in itseffects.
During the twenty-three days of Mr.Dockery's reign he has made 114 inspec-tions, resulting in over forty arrests. Inaddition to this Bacteriologist Spencer hassome ten or twelve samples yet to analyzewhich itis thought probable will result inseveral more arrests. This is certainly amagnificent showing and Mr. Dockery notonly has cause for self-congratulation butis deserving the thanks of every believer inpure food in San Francisco.
As the result of Mr. Dockery's Tuesdaymorning raid warrants were yesterday is-sued for the arrest of the following: P.Paliasson, F. Mozzetti, James Kenny, A.de Sante, Carl Savanello, Antone Simon,Fred Simon, Kussis & Reeli, Fred Ban-roan, John Bauman. Jacob Heim, AlexSimon, P. Gioldi, J. Christain.Justice Kerrigan's courtroom was crowded
yesterday morning with milkmen. wljohad come up from San Mateo County totestify in the suit instituted by C. G. Lar-sen of 33 Eddy street against In-spector Dockery. The Milbrae dairy isinterested in the suit, because it suppliedthe milk to Larsen. Early in the cam-paign for pure milk, .Dockery visited Lar-sen s place, and after testing the milk onhand, decided that it was not up to stand-ard. There were thirty-six gallons of themilk, valued at $0, and in spite of the pro-test of Mr. Larsen the entire lot wasdumped into the street. Larsen thentiled suit for the value of the milk, withdamages and costs added.
Larsen's attorney stated that he wasprepared to show that the milk was pure,and asked that the cause be heard at once.Dociery looked around him and saw someforty milkmen present as witnesses. Thenitwas that he jrave evidence of being some-what of a diplomat. He demanded a jurytrial, and so the case was set down for No-vember 5. Dennis Spencer willrepresentMr. Dockery.
J. Ncwmeyer. Adolph Manthe andGeorce Schuniph, three milk-dealers whopleaded not guilty in Judge Conlan's courton Saturday to the charge of selling adul-terated miik, changed their plea when ihecases were called yesterday, and the Judgefined them $10 "each. L. J. Ewell's casewill be tried before a jury on Tuesday,November 6, and the case of E. F. Grabo,who wanted a jury, was continued tillafter Ewell's case is disposed of.
The inspector says that in all cases hewillin future ask the Judges to impose thefullest penalty, as there is now no excusefor the dealers of a first offense, thatperiod having passed.
John Tscheinen of the Swiss dairy, SanBruno road, states that hia milk was'foundup to the siandard by Inspector Dockery,and that it was not dumped as stated.That, he says, was the fate of the com-modity sold by a concern of almost identi-cal name.
MIDWEEK THEATER NOTES.The Varieties in "The Passing
Show"
Entertain at theBaldwin. V
A Good Performance of ''Caval-leria Rusticana" at
the Tivoli.
"The Passing Show" is the sort of per-formance that a seasoned theater-goerwould be likely to see if he partook ofplum pudding and Welsh rarebit forsupper and retired to rest to let then* fightit out. In that sleep dreams would comeand a phantasmagoria like "The PassingShow" would be a very appropriate sortof a vision under the circumstances.
This performance which is entertainingBaldwin audiences is a sort of continuousburlesque on most of the recent perform-ances, "The Amazons," "Sowing theWind," etc., etc. When one has seen theplay that is being produced, it is easy toadmire the caricatures. When one has notseen the original, one has to subsist,dramatically speaking, upon the dancing,the costume3and sometimes the singing."The Passing Show" is really a superiorsort of variety entertainment, where thespecialties follow thick and fast on oneanother ana keep the audience on thegui vive to know what unexpected turnwillcome next.
Offenbach's "Marriage by Lantern" isused to fillup the bill, but the real attrac-tion at the Tivoli this week is the "Caval-leria Rusticana," in which Ida Valergaand Martin Pache carry off all the honors.Valerga is histrionically and vocally a goodSantuzza. She acts and sings with passionand intensity, and Pache's declamatorymethods make him especially suited to in-terpreting the passionate, brutal roleof Tarridu. These two* artists carryall before them with a dramaticintensity that exactly fits in with thefierce Sicilian story. Poor Raffael is leftbehind in the race. Alh'o is always athankless part, but Raffael sings hispostillion s song in a way that is pos-itively tame. When his jealousy is arousedhe grows a little more intense, but notenough so. The Tivoli chorus is ratherhampered by Mascagni's music, but "Letus sing" is well given. Taken altogether"Cavalleria Rusticana" is well worthseeing.
"Prince Ananias" is drawing as it de-serves to do at the Columbia Theater. Thebright, pretty music is well sung, andBarnabee's jokes prove hugely entertain-ing. The Bostonians' new work, "A War-time Wedding," is said to be a seriousopera. If successful it willtake its placein their repertoire.
"Pink Dominoes" is doing good businessat Grover's Alcazar. Itis a capital farce-comedy, and is well played; in fact, theplay is a case of the survival of the fitcest.It describes adventures at Creraorne. aplace ofentertainment in London that haslong become a thing of the past, while"Pink Dominoes" is still flourishing.Gracie Plaisted's part suits her especiallywell, and Miss Kennark plays the confid-
ing, deceived and forgiving wife naturallyand well.
In"ADark Secret" at Morosco's, theplot works naturally and easily up to thoclimax, and the parts are well sustained.Henley Regatta is most realistically pre-sented, nothing being forgotten, even toPunch and Judy and the nigger minstrels.Miss Thrupp's songs and' dances aresplendid, and Robert McArthur rightlyreceives an ovation.
At the Orpheum the new attractions viewith one another in popular favor. Ella
Znila ar.d Lulu, the tight wire performers,are not only very dextrous and daring, buttheir performance is abo graceful andpretty to look at. Charles \V. lvnex, theCalifornia barytone, has made quire a hit,and the Trilby dunce- hare proved orna-mental as well as effective features of theentertainment.
Fialkowaki, Kennedy and all the otherperformers of last week are winning theirusual applause.
James M. Ward is concluding a sec-ond successful week at the tenple's Thea-ter. Miss Reid, the leading lady, has arather weak part. Mrs. Buckley, aa Mrs.Carrigan, tin old Irish apple-woman, isable to do «onif very effective work,though. Little Baby Lewis is as cute alittle tough boy aa was ever seen on thelocal stage.
Dixey will give an "afternoon" at theBaldwin next Sunday with added special-ties.
