Wendell Easton. Chairman. During the reading of the report Chair man Watt made frequent requests for the convention to ke>-p order and added: 'If there are any visiting Democrats in tun rear of the hall who cannot keep order they will please retire." On motion of Marcus D. Borucd the re port was adopted without debate. John M. Chretien moved that a commit tee to consist of one member from each Assembly District be appointed to recom mend twelve names for nominations for School Directs. General Salomon opposed the motion, claiming that it was out of order because it was in conflict with tha report of the committee on perniaueut organization. The chair ruled him out of order, as he believed the report could be changed by the convention. A delegate from the Thirty-sixth District declared that the motion was a reflection on the Republican party, for the conven tion was competent to elec: its own Board of School Directors. li was simply raising the same question as two years ago, which the delegate hoped would not be brought np to injure the party. Wendell Ea.-ton declared that it was the idea of the committee on permanent or ganization that nominations U3 made in open convention. The motion was an un wise one. Marcus D. Boruck moved to lay the motion on the table, which was carried with but one dissenting vote, that of Chretien. The chairman announced that nomina tions for Mayor were in order. Gaston Ashe gave notice that he will at some future time place in nomination for Mayor the name of L. 11. Ellert. The name was greeted with cheers.

The motion was carried, and the chair an nounced that he would appoint the com mittee, later. Wendell Easton moved that the secre tary be instructed to furnish the delegates with a primed Mat of all names submitted to the convention for nomination. The motion was carried. The chair ruled that candidates for the Senate and the Assembly should be placed before the convention. Alarcus D. Boruck opposed this. Wen de.l Kaston explained that it was not the intention of the com mi tee en permanent organization as outlined in its repnr . The chair then declared 'hat the naming of Sen;.t irial and Assembly candidates would not be necessary. The. convention then adjourned until Friday eveuiog at 8 o'clock. FIREBAUGH FOR SENATOR. Anti-Burns Men in the Twenty . Second Hold a Big Meeting. The anti-Burns Republicans of the Twenty-second Senatorial District held a roasiog convention in Franklin Hall on Fiiluiore street last evening. An indepen dent candidate for Senator wad cut in the field in the person of 11. C. Firebaugh of the Forty-first Assembly District. The convention was a representative Republican gathering in every sense of the word. The conspicuous feature of the assemblage was the absence of the side door. No boss ruled there. Every delegate was free to speak and act, and the way they cried out against th« Czar was something startling. After throwing off the yoke "I political bondage which some of the delegates had worn they spoke out boldly. The number of voters which had gath ered in Franklin Hall to witness the pro ceedings at 8 o'clock, was soem-rmous that standing room was unattainable. Captain Daley said that he was surprised to see such a large crowd out. He thought that the enthusiasm manifested showed .that the Twenty-second Senatorial District was prepared to give Buss Burns the hard est kind oT a fLiht. At 8:30 the convention wa« called to order by Mr. Carlisle of the Fortieth As sembly District. Permanent organization was effected at once by the election of the following officers: . President, (>. Lewis; first vice-president, W. McCarthy; second vice-president, A. Alexander secretary, J. A. McCaun : first assistant, EL 11. McPher son; second assistant, J. S. Daley; can vassing committee— Charles Burden, Alex ander Lyons. William Nixon, Al liauser, J. J. Calisii, Frank Frayne. Mr. Lewis on taking the chair ssid : "I am not hereto-night as a sorehead or a disappointed politician. I am as firm a believer in the national principles of the Republican party as ever. I believe that they are the only true basic principles of a democratic form of govern I ap rear here to-night only as a Republican should when those principles are being trampled upon by party bosses, as is now being done py Dan Burns and his cohorts." Mr. Lewi* eulogized -Mr. Estee and the rest of the Slate ticket. He thought it was a strong one and ought to win, providing Dan Bums would keep his face out of politics until elect! n day. Continuing, Mr. Lewis said: "This con version is nut an uprising of office-seekers. It is an uprising, however, against corrupt politics, against BurnsHm and Buckley ism, and every other ism whicn has a tainted political flavor. 1 believe this con vention will heartily agree with me when 1 say that it is time to call a halt, and to see what colors we are marching under." At the close of Air. Lewis' stirring ad dress Captain Daley moved that the con vention proceed to nominate a candidate for State Senator. The motion was car ried. Mr. Lewis called the gallant captain to the chair, while he Place! in nomination 11. C. Firebaueh. Captain Dalev re marked as he took the seat of honor that if h« had marched a few days longer un der Bums' flag he believed that his feet wouldn't have permitted him to ascend the platform. Mr. L«wis, in placing Mr. Firebaugh in nomination, said: "I am going to nomi nate a man lor State Senator who lias always been a lifelong Republican. O c who has stood by the Republican paity for over twenty-five years. A man who has voted the ticket straight when at times ! it was most difficult. I nominate for such an office H. C. Firebaueh." The nomina tion was seconded by Air. Carlisle of the Fortieth District in glowing term?. As there were no other candidates in the field Mr. Firebaugh's nomination was made unanimous. The successful nominee was brought before the convention amid great ' applause. Mr. Firebaugh thanked the convention for the honor and pledged himself to fkht bos-ism to the bitter end. The word "fight" immensely pleased Captain Daley, and he rose and called for three cheers for "our next Senator," which were given. The delegates from the Forty-first Dis- j trict nominated L. W. Coe for the Assembly, j The Fortieth District will not place a can- ' didate in the field until next Friday even ing, when they meet in the wigwam on the corner of Steiner and Sacramento streets for that purpose. The convention then adjourned subject to the call of the chair. THE NON-PARTISANS. Sub - Committees on Nominations Are Appointed. Three of the Non-Purtisan committees hclJ meetings yesterday. At those of the committees on registration and education iittle beyoud the routine of organization was attempted. Chairman Thomas Alagee called the meeting together on municipal nomina tions at his office yesterday sifternoon. It was agreed to submit three names for three of the offices to the full committee at the meeting to-night. Tnese names were withheld by the committee, but it is un derstood that County Clerk Haley was oue of them. Threo sub-committees of four members eacn wore appointed.

"The meeting of our committee was fully attended," said Mr. Magee. "Chair in;in Menzies was present. lam not at liberty to give out the details of our pro ceeding?, but I will say that the pioceed ings were marked by p. fleet unanimity and that we were all acrem! as to the policy to be pursued. Tbree names will be recom mended to the conveu ion for nomination, i;ut I cannot make them public at this time. I will say. however, that the may oraitv was not one of the offices upon which action was taken.

WALKER'S CAMPAIGN SONG Colonel Collier Opened the Rally by Saying That Mr. Sutro Is Too Big for Mayor. Populists by the thousands assembled in Metropolitan Temple to-night It was a rally and mass-meet nc of the Populists of Sun Francisco. Bonfires and bands em phasized the fact. ttThree speakers had been regularly billed to address the meeting, namely: Adolph Botrn, J. T. Rogers aud B. H. Collier. EL W. Mathews presided over the meeting. When Air. Sutro stepped upon the plat form there came a storm of applause. Chairman Matthews of the People's party County Committee called the meet ing to order with a speech that was not too long. "This meeting, " he said, "is the first of a seties of grand rallies which are to be held from now until the end of the cam paign." He then introduced B. K. Collier, Populist nominee lor Congress in the Fourth District, who said: "1 expected to find the Republican can didate who is my opponeut at tuis meet ing. Also the Democratic nominee origin to be uere in order that he naigbt learn sal vation. Auy man who can stand on the Cl^v^land platform is, iv my opinion, very much in need of saving. "In all the history of nation 1 * there never bas been one that stood, or could stand, the same, to the end of time, because in na tions as in individuals there are the germs of disease and death. Decay is certain to come. The nations of ancient Greece and Rome decsyed and died because a few men had secured control of all tha useful and necessary resources and utilities." The soeaker then eulogized the Populist candidate for Governor, J. V. Webster, and referred to his humble beginning in life as a rail-jplitter and shin?le-maker. Adolph Satro was referred to as the only man io California who had ever fought a corporation successfully. The names of both of these gentlemen were loudly cheered. Mr. Collier said: '"To find a jiiau of wealth and power at the "head ot the laboriug man's cause is something heretofore unheard of in the world's history. And yet, Adojli is such a man. While we have nominated him for Mayor of this city 1 tell y«<> that he is too big for it. lie ought to be Presi dent of tbe L~Di;ed States." "Tell us wlui you are g>log to do when you go 10 Washington?" cmd a voice. "What's that?" asked Mr. Collier. "I was not aware tiiat 1 came Hero far that purpose. 1 Ciim-) to speak of the People's party. The Populist- are simply opiosed to Democrats aud Republicans alike. The I'opul sts do ti'it wani any nn ro bond) or bondage. They want liberty for iheui seives, their wives aud thair children." In referring to the Republican State ticket, Mr. Collier said it was a Dan Burns and a Chris Buckley ticket, pure and sim ple. "Whatever Burns wauted Boekley would iirant it, and whatavt r Buckley wanted Burns would give freely. Burns nominated the ticker because Buckley sai<l thus and so and S'.owe said so aud the Southern Pacific ot Kentucky also said thua and so." The next speaker was Adolph Sutro, criMiidate for Mayor, who saiu: Five wveks from now the people of San Fr.in- Cisco will be called upon Io decide whether we si. all heieafter be slave* or fieemeii. wiietiiei we shall elect a set ot official! who wear the coiiai 01 me octopus 01 snen men a« are taiiiotic citizens wbo have the welfare of the comuiouweaiih at h»-art. Btraoite does It seem tbat there should be auy doubt .'bout It. Ou the one hand we see nrraved all the peo ple; 011 the otlu r a si-l of lii^hw.iyintii and lobbers, who defy ihe people to defeat tne It caMluiaiei. Theie must be something radically wrong wlieu suoh a qoeettoa at all anse< \\ li.it is it .' If there weie Uit two parties in t lie held ;ind but oue issue the battle would be woo. befjie the election. Nine-tenths of ttie people would be found airayeo ou one fide wlnle the other side would make Mich a misei abie showing that tne* would become the laughiug-stock of ihe public Jiow iheu. I say. is It possible that there should be any doubt about the result of the election? A grave doubt exlits, however, fur the maii.iL!'-!- of the octopus, the bosses, have so auauged as tooivide the people, while tacjr retreseui a solid phalanx under oue generai. with perfect nuliv of acnou. In battle, wh-u two ai nnes meet face to face, it has always been consider-ii good Raneraltnlp to make a ffiut aitack In ironi and I ben attack in force iv the leai ot the eoemy's center, thus breaking his ranks in twain.

Why should the people allow themselves to be thus defeated ? As matters stand Hie Sou h em raclllc of Kentucky will carry me day, ex cept you, the people, will give up allegiance to the old parties and all unite upon one set of caudidates opposed to the octopus lirsi, last and all 1 lie tune. Tl.e bosses control both the Dt-111 --ocralc aud Kepublican parties. On election you will Hud that they will desert one party and couceutrale all their efforts oo the oilier, and trial will be the Republican party. he Demo crats will be sold out to Insure victory for the octopus. It all opposlDg elements could be concen trated ou one ticket victory would be Insured. but, uufoituuaiely, the Noa- Partisans divide the people's strength with thu I'opulKtg. Let a last eflort be in.de to favor a nislou of the two parties aua present but one ticket so far as the municipal election Is concerned. That would unite the people against the common en emy ana .1 Rood, honest, upright local govern ment would iv all probability be secured. Dion petty jealousies and rivalries- Let your patriot ism 1 is-- above private lnteiests aud the good to the country will be the remit. Many people say they and their fathers nave always voted the Democratic or Republican tickets, and thry ara jrolng to vote It this time, Such men do not reflect. 15oth tiir-o parties are simply used Dv the common enemy as stool pigeons ti> carry tneir ends. Nat have the national principles to do with our local Government? The question to be de cided Is, Are we to be slaves or fire men? Are we to bo robbed or have a good honest Government? Those, aie the questions which affect our welfare and our very existence. It we carry this election II will so a lone ways town id defeating the funding bill next Winter. ' C. I. liutitiuiUon is said to b- haid at work during the recess to convince the members of Confess that it is light to vote lor 1 lit- funding bill; the election will be over and members of Congress need not fear popular wrath; that $lu,ooo or 520,000 apiece for th 11 votes will help them to pay for their defeat at the late election", and In that way heexpecis to capture euough voles to pass the bill. California should not fall 10 elect members of Congress who ate known to be honest men. opposed to the fund ing bill. If we tail to do that it will be an In dorsement of its demands. As to tlie roimllst party, I predict again that Webster will be lie next (ioveimn; that sev eral rojiulist Congressmen will be elecied, ;nd Hi, 1 1 even tlie niuuicipal ilckel may be fleeted it mecli. niics and woi kinjjiijLii will stand in to uetlier in relieving us fioni ilie bosses; In tact, our great common ent-niy, ibn ocioius. wliicu 1 say au.iiu and auuln must be destroyed.

The tno*t inn oi taut ilium to be done is to defeat tlie Mo;u~rii infamims luudioc bill, and the octopus must and shall bo destroyed. Now, this bill will dop up ■gain uext winter. lam sure It will. But Mr. Hunt lugou don't know as much about Concrssa as I do. Durlog the next session there will be ni.inv appropriation bills to pass, which t*ke up time, and ilieiefore a few men wbo at* not owned by the railroad company can fllibusi-r and prevent tlie passage of the bill, at least for a session. Now, as long as I am a candidate f will say *umethiiic about myself, i have lived in Cali foruia -forty-four years and Lave employed thousands of men. but I have never yet em ployed a Chinaman. 1 consider the Chinese an interior race. I dou't care what a man's reli gion is. I like to nee every one go 10 heaven In ins own way. Hut there is something wioug in a country wheiemeu and women are forced to go nuDgiy, and lor this we must find a remedy. As an interlude Mrs. M. E. Walker sang a song entitled "Ban?! Bang! Bang!" to the air "TraniD. Tramp, Tramp, the Boys Are Marching." interlining local nits ben and ther«. J. T. Rogers, People's party candidate for Congress from the Fifth District, was then introduced. He began by reviewing the birth of the child of liberty in the United States more than a century ago, ana 9aid that now, iv these days, the People's party is called upon to revive and protect tiiat life of liber y, which has wil nigh been strangled. He made a spirited address, based on the established Populisl principles and plntform, and reviewed the political evils that have bean exploited from time to time ever since Populism began. His argument whs strongly of a socialistic order, including reasons for free access to land, water, air and sunlight. "Out of the land comes bread, and 1 would <lh soon have a man own my head as to own my bread. "Populism proposes to destroy alien ownership of land, and also to wrest the broad acres Irom eigantlc robber corpora tions, such as railroads. It also means national ownership of railroads and tele grapb lines." 'Ine speaker then read a list of the coun trieg in the world where the railroads are under government ownership, to show that ibe plan is nolon^T an experiment. "And they are operated for the benefit of all citizens and subjects alike, «nd no man can appropriate all the benefLs and profits to himself. Mr. Loud said that he is unalterably opposed to Government ownership of railways. Well, I will meet his challenge by stating tbat 1 am unalter ably opposed to private ownership of riil roads. And I stand ready to debate the question with him at any time." Mr. Rogers approached ttie close of his speech by aaying tiia f th* t ritl' question does not cut much of a figure one way or another with the Populists, ihe money question and the sta'us of silver as a circu lating medium is more poten' for goou or ill, for sood times or hard times, than any tariff bill or free-trad* law. He wound up by scoring his Democratic and Republican opponents for not meeting him in debate on the stump. A DOZEN DROPPED. Would-Be Voters Who Can't Be Found- Bids Opened.

AS FROM A GRAVE. Dr. Tynan Reappears in the Flesh. TWO V EARS ACCOUNTED DEAD He Is Fully Identified by His Wife and Friends. INFLUENCED BY SPSRITUALISTS. Denouement of the Mystery Shroud ing the Fate of a Rich Modesto Physician. The law bad declared him dead, but aftT an absence of almost two years Dr. Thomas E. Tynan has returned to his family aud friends and ane* not ap pear to regard bis recent absence as a matter of serious import. 11 \» return was as unexpected as his departure, and his whereabouts in the city is being kept hidden by the more intimate of his friends. The story of his disappearance, the law suit of his stepdaughters over nis estate, •supposing him to be dead, and the fre quent reports of bis having been seen in the East, are already well known to tbe public. It may be stated, however, that Tynan was a resident of Modesto and left his home for a trip to San Francisco on or about the 15tb of October, 1892. A few days later he informed his wife by tele graph that ha wuuld return snon, but from tbat time until the present his person has not been seen by his family or friends. After a reasonable length of liaae bad elapsed his estate was brought into the courts of Modesto, and during all the pro ceedings he was supposed to be dead. It was a bitter contest and th-' stepdaughters did not agree on the division of the prop erty, but the matter had almost been settled to the satisfaction of all concerned, when Dr. Tynan was reported to be alive and io good health in Reno, Xev. This information was furnished on Mon day last by John Slater, the spiritualistic medium, who claimed that an invisible power had assisted him in locating the doctor, although it must be said that the latter had, aicording to his own story, never tried to conceal his identity in the East. Mr. Slater entered the bank Monday and informed Manager Moutpclier thai Dr. Tynan wa3 alive aud would arrive on the Central Pacific overland train yester day morning, and when the latter reached the Sixteenth-street station quite a large number of Dr. Tynan's old friends were on band tj receive him. He did not cross tha bay, but at au early hour yesterday morning he appeared at the Grangors' Bank, of which he was oue of the directors at the time of his <lisap pearance. lie was accompanied by Henry McCormack, an employe of the bank, wbo had gone to Reno In order to mafce sure tliat the information furnished by Slater was correct. i he identification was complete, and the doctor was immediately recognized by al most every employe of tbe bank. Mr. Moutpelier staled tbat tbe missing ma 1 vns a tririe thinner tban usual, but bis countenance could not be mistaken. It was Dr. Thomas E. Tynan beyond a doubt. It was shortly after 10 o'clock when he entered the Grangers' bank, and, after shakiug hands with Dr. Wilkinson of Mo deato, an old-tune friend, he passed on into t*ie office of the manager. Wr.i c engaged iv conversation with Mr. Moctpelier the door was opened quietly and the wife nl ihe missing ni!»n entered the room. His changed appearance was somewhat of a surprise »o her, but in les? than an instant the reunited pair were clasped in each ot'ier's* embrace. His collar and cuffs were travel-stained and crumpled, and bis general appearance, aside from the silk hit which adorned bis head, was to say the least uninviting, but bis wife clung to him for several minutes and shed tears of joy over his return. Slater, the medium, was 1 resent during the meeting, and «eemed to take such, a lively interest in the scene that tbe on lookers supposed he was an old-time friend of the family. A meeting had been arranged to take place between Dr. Tynan and his wife at the Baldwin Hotel, but after the suapense she bad endured the ovetjoyed woman could not await the appointed hour. "1 couM not wait for you to come to the hotel." said she, "and IdeWmined to visit the bank as early as possible, knowing you would ?top her« first." The meeting was ;iffecting in the ex treme and the principals soon retired to another room where they were soon joined by Slater the medium. Dr. Tynan then made a tour of the bank premises and recognized all those who were employed during his term as director. He h»d a kind word to say to all of them and had no trouble whatever in making his identity kuown. He was nervous at times, but on the wnole he behaved like a man who ha! stuiplr been absent ou a prolonged vacation and was paying nis respects to the clerks serving under him. The most singular feature of the entire casetis that Dr. Tynan does i.ot state definitely why he left the city so sud denly. He stated that be was down hearted and despondent, but he bad no thouebts of comni.t'.ing suicide. "I have resided in Boston most of tbe time," said he, "and although a great many may think me crazy I am as aane as any sane man in America." When fii.s chl friends flocked about him and his wife in the California Hot 1 be appeared to be happy, but they were soon left alone and he would Ispje into n mel ancholy mood. fclater. the medium, said be, is the first and only one who reccgnized Dr. Ty nan in Denver, and his return to ban Fran cisco may probably be accredited to him. In response to a question why he had decidrd to go away so mysteriously. Dr. Tynan stated that It w:i« his own business and lie did net care to discuss the proposi tion. He said te was discouraged and dis heartened at the time, and he felt that he should go away. Ho laughed at the idea of being insane, and sta ed that he could not possibly have kept out of the way ol the i>))i-e had he been mentally unbal anced. He said be had excellent reasons for goiug away, and these he would not reveal. In regard to the contest over bis prop erty, Dr. Tynan stated tbat he would take steps to have tbe entire estate turned over to bim. after proving tbat he was alive and not dead. Medium Slater says he found the doctor through the aid of sp r ts and first learned Ita was nliva In Chicago. He will receive $3000 and expenses it is said from Mr*. Tynan for his efforts Captain Lees stated last evening tbat he knew of the causes leading up to the dis appearance of Dr. Tynan, but he was not at liberty to divulge them. The captain also sta'ed that Slater had offered to locate the doctor for S3OOO some time ago. They are b< to spiritualists, he says, and the dis appearance of the doctor may some day be accounted for in this connection. AMUSEMENTS. Midweek Notes of Business at the Different Theaters. There can be no question an to the popu larity of "In OM Kentucky" at the New California. Every seat in the auditorium has been occupied at each perfurmance thus far, and th« indications are of a con tinuance of this pleasant state of affairs. The benefit to the Olympic Club Wheel men takes place next Monday evening, when tlie-e young athletes will attend to the number of more than 500. Doubtless the demand for seats nn Monday will ex ceed the supply, and those who desire to attend should, therefore, apply early. A neat bit <>f this blue-grass drama Is M;idse Brierly's (Miss Lulu Tabor) de scription of the great horserace, and the chagrin and utter breaking up of Colonel Sandusky Doolittie because he cannot .it tend owing to a promisegiven bis intended.

Severu9 Shaffer in the great card at the Orphoum at present on account of his wonderful feats of equilibrium. The tal ent is alt fresh on t lie boards this week. The public is exacting and thnieh the frequent chances in high- priced artists are a little binding on the management the system must be maintained. The great circus known under the name of the new great syndicate shows (four in one) and Paris hippodrome will open at Central Park, Market street, to-morrow (Friday). September 28, and last for ten days. By an arrangement with the lead ing shows of America under canvas this will be the only big circus on thp coast this year. Consequently it will be Hobson's choice for those who are fond of *»<juestrianism, the menagerie and the pungent, smelling sawdust— this show or none. The small boy must see a circus once a year, or he will" conclude there is something wrong. He is making uu his mouth to enjoy this one— under William Sell's management— and from what is un derstood in relation to it he will not be disappointed. Splendid bareback riders, eleiliaiits, leopards, carneK zebra?, bears, baby monkeys, pealions and A: wean os triches galore. See ihe torchlight parade on Friday night and judge from that what may follow under the gr^at, canvases. At Morosco's Grand Opera-house Ileillv and his son Robbie, with a good support ing company, are tilling the auditorium. There is a great deal of interest :n the story of "The Broommaker" and much good singing. Besides, there is juvenile business in the earlier scenes that tells with the Indies In the audience. The at tempt to deprive a mother of her infant, with the broninniak«r to the rescue, is a scene that sets ihe audience wild. "Don Juan (ad lib.)" will be continued at tbe Tivoli tili further noiice.

Ugo Talbo Makes a Big Sensation BY SAVAGERY AT A CONCERT. Objected to a Young Lady's Critical Smile AND ORDERED HER TO GET OUT. A Weil-Known Local Musician Vents Some Self-Irritation Upon an Innocent Head. This city seems to be becoming famous for new and startling development? on the concert platform. Within the last year its long-suffering public has witnessed a prizefight between two esteemed musiciaus a fiasco on the last occasion a military band gave a concert at the Graud Opera house, and last night at a "soiree musi cale" at the uortheast corner of Gutter street and Van Ness avenue the aston ished audience heard a tenor of some local reputation brutally order a young girl among the spectators to leave thi room "because she was laughing at him." A most fashionable audience bad flocked to Ugo Talbo's "soiree musical?," and the last thing, any one in the well-dressed crowd dreamed of was a scene. It was found impossible to seat the 200 people present in the salon, so they filled up other rooms and a few more chairs were crowded into the salon at the eleventh hour. Amona these were a few seats immediately facing the performer?, and three of them were occupied by a party of pretty, well dressed trirls, the eldest of whom might have been 20 and the youngest 17. . A number of vocalists came on. per lorme.d their parts well, and retired, covered with glory. Uno Talbo seemed to be nervous about getting any glory when he appeared to sing Blumenthnl's "The Message." He hemmed and hawed, glared defiantly round him, and then burst into the words, 'I had a message to send Her," In a voice that was decidedly the worse for huskiness. He did not seem to attach any blame to himself, however, but rather looked at thfi front row of spectators as if asking for an explanation. Then his eye lit on a gauzy fan, which the youngest of the three-girls was gently waving. With out leaving off singing he took a step angrily toward her, and laying riis band on her fan, commanded her by a eesture to desist. To say that his manner of do ing this was lacking in courtesy is putting the case gently. An American girl is not easily cowed, and the one whom Mr. Talbo had .-o un ceremoniously tackled looked un at him from under her widf'-brimmed hat with biz startled eye*, and then gave a couple of defiant waves to her fan. After that site shut it. and with flushed face and tears in her dark eyes— for she was a very young girl— she sat and toyed with the bits of ivory and gauza. Urn Ugo Talbo had his eagle eye on her. While he was shouting the story of how he got an angel to carry the "message" he always kept one oj..tic riveted on the girl with the fan, and he saw her smile cov ertly and rather tremulously at her two companions. Just as the accompanist was striding the closing chords of the sone, the whole audience was transfixed by hearing the t«nor shout fiercely : "Leave the room! I don't know who you are, but you don't know how to be have Yourself, and you shall not stay here!" If ■ thunderbolt liad descended from the cei'iug people could not have been more astonished. Thfi girl herself flushed and then turned pale, while tears rolled down her cheeks, but every one received the re mark in surprised silence. "This voting woman in the front row was looking me straight in the face and laughing at me!" shouted Ugo Talbo, who seemed entirely to bava lost his lieail. "You wera laughing at me. Leave the room !" At this point the audience recovered from its surprise and began t<» hiss in a way which showed the excited tenor very plainly which way its sympathies lav. "What can I do? I d-n't like to get up and go out," sobbed the innocent cause of the trouble to hf»r sister. Rev. George Edward Walk of Trinity Ctiurch, however, who happened to be a few seats away, came forwaid and, with a lew consoling words, offered her his escort. It was gladly accepted, and the three girls left the scene of strife. A number of peonle in the audience fol lowed their example. Indeed, there was an exodus of about half the people pres ent. Those \ who remained endured an awful pause. It was evident that none of the performers wet* Dining to come for ward and distinguish themselves. At last, however, Mile. Touaillon. whose turn came next on the programme, pluckily came in and sang a French song charm inely. Walter C. Campbell followed with "My Liitie Love," which he sang as uncon cernedly as if ho had resigned himself to "scenes" on the local platform and imd de termined to p-ursue the ev*n tenor of his way regardless of them. T'go Talbo was down next for that touching love son?, "Salve Dimora," from Gonuod's "Faust." Under the circumstances it was considered i est, however, to suppress him, so tte concert ended abruptly. The performers who had before the un rehearsed episode very ably taken [ art In the 'programme were: Hugo Mansfeldt, Dr. Arthur Regensburger, George Mr- Bride, Mile. Touaillon, Frank S. Mitchell, Miss Ella Lawrie. Mrs. Cadenasso, Her mann Brandt and Algernon Aspland." PERSONAL NOTES. Judge R. J. Hudson of Lakeuort is at the Grand. State Senator E. G.
