OPERATIC STARS INSURED
San Francisco Journalist Declares
Ovation Xearly Wrecked Theater.
The tremendous ovation accorded the
Chicago Grand Opera Company on its
opening night In San Francisco is said
to have come near shaking down the
beautiful and substantial new Tlvoll.
If we may believe the naive account of
that memorable occasion given by
Thomas Xunan the following morning
In the San Francisco Examiner. He
says:
"I remember that Manager Dippel
had taken the precaution, before start
ing on his Western tour, to insure
Tetrazzlnl. Garden and his other sing-.
ers against calamity of every sort, the
amount of the insurance being upward
of 81,250,000. Perhaps he had not
dreamed of the dangers of spontaneous
combustion in the riotous enthusiasm
with which the house was to be filled
at the Tetrazzini reception, and It prob
ably had never entered into his mind
that San Francisco would welcome
home Its prima donna Luisa In a way
that would threaten to shake down the
finest new opera-house In America.
Yet, It seemed to me while the ovation
was In progress that these dangers
were not so remote."
Tomorrow will be the last day that
mall orders will be received and filled
by the Steers-Coman office, as the seat
sale opens on Monday at 10 at the Sher
man. Clay & Co. store.

Information Bearing on Commission
Government Sought Alter Address
at Portland Union. '
After addressing an assembly of re
cently-enfranchised voters for more
than an hour at the Portland Women's
Union last night. Gay Lombard, Re-
publican candidate for Mayor, was
bombarded with questions which
showed remarkable Interest on the part
of those present regarding civic affairs.
especially commission government. He
was asked some questions wmcn not
even men of the city have asked of him
before, indicating- that the women
have keen perception and are studying
the question.
"Is there any provision In the com
mission charter for pensions for fire
men?" was a question asked by one
young woman.
"There is not," replied Mr. Lombard,
"but a petition under the Initiative is
being circulated to that end. I signed
it today. I believe the firemen entitled
to such a provision and think their
bill will pass."
Mr. Lombard also explained that the
Legislature provided a pension system
for the police and said he approved of
that.
"Will we get rid of Councllmen If
we adopt commission government?"
was a question which was asked In
such a significant manner that it
seemed apparent that the Interroga
tor Is not fond of Councllmen.
Mr. Lombard replied by explaining
that, under the commission charter, to
be voted on May 3, only a Mayor, four
Commissioners and an Auditor are to
be elected, their election to take place
June 2.
All kinds of questions were burled
at Mr. Lombard, many of the women
taking part. One of the new ones was
as to the pensions for firemen. All of
the queries revealed the fact that those
present had been investigating and
were studying for the elections.
Mrs. J. B. Comstock, president of the
union, who Introduced Mr. Lombard,
asked how many present had regis
tered, and there were but four. The
others were urged to do so without
delay, Mr. Lombard explaining to them
that, having been granted the ballot,
they should, as good citizens, partici
pate in the primaries and in the gen
eral elections. He said he believed
that the influence of women In the
practical politics of the city will raise
the standard of morals and will result
In much good, but he said that, no mat
ter what form of charter prevails, the
results will be left to the officials
who are elected to conduct the city's
affairs.
