Lewis, whose voice is so well known in many drawing-rooms and who became a favorite last season during the musicales given by the Woman's Indus- wrial and_Educational Union, will sing “Love's Proving.” Her deep soprano voice has been well cultivated and will add greatly to the entertainment. J. A, Fogarty has given his services and will “sing the barytone solo, “The Turn- key’s Song” from ‘Rob Roy.” Mrs. Flora Whitney-Evans, though a stranger to the patrons of music in San Francisco, has a sopranovoice which Pro- fessor McKenzie has tested and pronounced one of the clearest on the Pacific coast. Mrs. Evans is well known throughout Wyoming, Colorado and Georgia. In Denver her services were in constant d mand by her many society friends. 8 months ago she took the leading part in the opera, erry Milkmaids,” for the benefit of the churches in Denver. This, her de- but in operatic music, was so well received that offers were tendered her by theatrical managers.

SOME ILLUSTRATED PERFGRM- ANCES OF THE AMERICAN CONCERT BAND. circles and s pronounced How SHERIDAN’s RIDE Was SEEN AND HEARD—A WESTERN Sousa. In the excitement of the French Hospi- tal Fete people were too much occupied with buying and selling to give their en- tire attention to the American Concert band, directed by Alfred Roncovieri. Last night, however, the music and the scenic | effects d to illustrate it formed the chief attractions, and both won a good deal of applause. Alfred Roncovieri, who bears such a striking resemblance to Sousa, directed his band of 100 musicians with taste and skill The appearance of the large body of musi- cians in their handsome uniforms and white caps was very effective, particularly when the liths in the gayly decorated hall | were turned down, and the large platform portion of the building that was illumi- nated. Then, out of the semi-darkness, picture after picture was flashed upon the screen, adding wonderfully to the realistic effect of the descriptive music. One of the pieces that excited the audi- ence most was ‘“Sheridan’s Ride at Win- The pictures were so vivid, and followed one another in such rapid suc- cession, that pdople seemed to be actually witnessing the camp-life of the rebellion’; the soldiers seeing the vision of home in the smoke of the fire, then the sudden arousing and the rush into the battle with a ringing cheer, which wasalmost drowned by the clatter of hoofs and the firing of musketry, Sheridan’s final charge at Winchester was blurred by the smok from the rifles, and the music grew fainter and fainter as Washingfon, Lincoln and Grant were flashed successively on the canvas. Finally the American flag pictured, while the band ended the de- scriptive fantasia by playing “The Star- spangled Banner.” Another illustrated piece that won ap- plause was “The Night Alarm,” picturing the details of a fire at night. The **Negro Dance” an amusing piece of a comic description, in-which the pictures made the meaning of the music much more clear than a descriptive programme could have done. Some of the unillustrated numbers | were a fantasia introducing airs from Verdi’s *‘Aida,” a Mexican dance by Aviles, and works by Von Suppe and Waldteufel. A large part of the Mechanics’ Pavilion was reserved for promenading and for booths. Within a few days a 1§cu!er and other attractions will be opened in machin- ery hall. At the Paris Exbosition of 1900 Dr. Price’s Baking Powder will compete, And it will take the first prize. SWIFT 00AL CARRIERS. Fast Passages Made to and From the Sound. . The American ship Llewellyn J. Morse arrived from Departure Bay yesterday with a cargo of coal for J. Rosenfeld’s Sons, making the round trip under twenty-five days and winning a suit of clothes for her captain. The vessel was towed in by the tug Active and as she was bowling up the bay at full beat was boarded by the quarantine ! officer. Captain McFarland executed one of the prettiest maneuvers ever witnessed on the bay in putting the quarantine launch alongside ‘the swiftly moving ship. He crossed the Active’s bow, giving ship and tufawide berth; then steered down to the lee side of the vessel, going straight at her head until within a few feet of her head, when the launch came around and just scraped the shig‘s side and got her painter on board®the Morse. The Morse is not _the only vessel which made a quick round trip to the sound. The Cyrus Waketield left for Nanaimo on February 8 and_returned with a cargo of coal Sunday. The Spartan left San Fran- cisco on the 3d ult. and arrived here yes- terday. The America, which left here two days after the Spartan, returned yester- day. The Dashing Wave beat the fleet. She sailed on February 10 and returned yesteraay. The Wachusett left here on February 8 for Nanaimo and has not been heard of sincs e e . REORGANIZERS AT WORK. Still Amending the Republican Com- mittee Constitution. The executive committee having in charge the duty of preparing in suitable form the conmstitution and by-laws of the committee appointed to reorganize the local Republican party upon a new and citizen-like basis, are still engaged in their labors. Since the constitution and by- laws were first submitted there have been several amendments. notably at the meet- ing last Friday night, and there will be several more, according to a member of the council. ““We are making every effort,” said this same member, “‘to place the party in the city upon a basis where it will win the re- spect of the honest voters of the Republi- can party, who are tired of the machina- tions of bosses and ward politicians, We will hold another meeting in a few days.” uick Rise in Wheat.

MILITARY HIT AT MOROSCO'S. “OLIVETTE,” “BLACK CROOKS” AND VARIETY BILLS AT OTHER THEATERS. The reappearance of one of our choicest favorites, Marie Burroughs, and the first production in this city of one of the best of the modern .school of drama, Pinero’s “Profligate,”” drew a large and fashionable audience to the Baldwin last night. The story of the play is simple. Dun- stan Renshaw (Mr. Kellerd) has led astray Janet (Miss Perry) prior to his marriage to Leslie Brudenell (Miss Burroughs), and in the midst of a life of dissipation. The latter, “half a schoolgirl and half a woman,” as she describes herself, whose only hope to be good enough for her husband, of whose delinquencies she knows nothing, finally discovers this and casts him off, but afterward, moved by his grief at his loss of her, forgets the past and they start life anew together. There is no complication of plot, no counterplot, really no other occasion for other characters than those named and that of Hugh Murray, who has known the truth but is powerless to intercede. There are two creeds: Murray’s, that Renshaw’s vices will not be buried, but will always Lord Dangar’s, that ‘“marriage is the tomb of the past as far as a man’s early life is concerned.”” There is, too, another theme upon which the play is built—that stated by one of his characters, “The world has a short memory for a man’s disgrace; it is only for women that it lays down the laws of scandal.” In earlier days, and days not so far distant, the dramatist would have made virtue tri- umph and would have punished Renshaw for his turpitude. But his redemption is his love for his wife—love that was, without question, pure and holy—and his attempted suicide in the Jast act is stopped by her in much the same way as was shown in the earlier play, “The Dancing Girl.” i The “Profligate” is within its lines, and on the theory of the fin de siecle play, undoubt- | ediy artistic; it is unconventional in treatmen and has few situations thatamount toa climax; | but it is strong, and the story is well told with little drag. The drama of Sudermann, Mat- teriink and Ibsen has been softened in parts and toned down so as to remove the glare of some of its m vivid colors; but the primal rudiments, the raison d'etre so to speak, are as prominent in Pinero as they e in his foreign masters and the general trend of modern drama is | marked by the ‘“Profligate” asone of its strong- estexamples. When the reaction will come, as it is surely destined to come, and es it of the play and the artistic ability of the author are deserving of much commendation. As the heroine Miss Burroughs achieved & great suc She was so tenderly sweet, s trusting, so confiding that pity became akin to | love. of the characteristics of her former success as Letty, in “Saints and i s k Jast night rose far above the othér parts and showed her great improve- ment in later years. There were no stage out- her performance; it was all su- premely natural. The rendition of the part makes Miss Burroughs prominent among American_actresses, and the manifest evi: dences of her great talent show her as destined for & very prominent place on our stage. Mr. erd as Dunstan Renshaw, the profii gate, proved an excellent stage companion for ftisy Burrougns, The part was one which the majority of actors would have overacted, but Mr. Kellerd’s art carried him through the play work with a great den] of success, and he justly shared in the applause which greeted the per- formance. Mr. Louis Massen, another old favorite here, was the Hugh Murrey of the cast and played the part excellently, with the utmost apprecia- tion of the muthor’s idea and the greatest fidelity in carrying that idea out. Mr. Brown as Wilferd and Mr. Saint Maur as Lord Dangars were aléo quite successful in their r\wprcll\cgnrl:‘, and the other roles were generally in good hands. The next and last week of the engagement will be occupied with Jones’ “Judah,” in which Miss Burroughs has made a very successful hit heretofore. “OLIVETTE" AT THE TIVOLL Andran's Pretty Light Opera Captures the Audience. Audran’s successiul “Olivette” bids fair to have a good run at the Tivoli this week. The | fulon the light opera stage, and the cast and general presentation at the Tivoli show its merits to their best advantage. The acting of Mr. Hartman as Coquelicot was the chief feature of last night’s performance. Mr. Hartman was absolutely and idiotically funny, just what the part requires, and he “bobbed up” as serenely hs his sbug: The OIL vetle was charming Gracle Plaisted, whose chic and vivacity always light up any opera in which she is cast. De Merrimac and Valentine were respectively Messrs. Raffael and Bronson, who are uni- formly good and reliable. The Countess was Belle Thorne, who has an excellent voice, and her ducal cousin was well taken by Mr. Olmi, Mr. Wilson adding to the general excellénce of the cast as the Seneschal. The Tivoli has been putting on a series of one-week operas with excellent effect and in an admirable manner, due to the exertions of Stage Manager Nash and Director Hirschbach, and good houses have been the result. “Giro- fle-Girofla,” another old favorite, is announced for next week. “In the Ranks” a Hit, There was a double interest attending the performance of “In the Ranks” at Morosco’s Grand Opera-house last night. Miss Maud Edna Hall, the new leading lady, made her first appearance, and Rev. J. Henry Walker Harris, the Oakland lny-reader, made his de- dutas a thespian. From the amount of ap- plause bestowed on Mr. Harris more interest was centered in him then in Miss Hall. He played the role of the ruthless villain in a man- ner that brought tears to the eyes of the gal- lery gods. He sallied forth to start the win mills of dramaturgy and he succeeded very well. Hr. Harris has some of the necessary qualifications that go to make & good actor—a fine presence, & good voice and an unlimited amount of cotirage, and he displayed all three last night. Miss Hall is about the best leading lady that Mr. Morosco has vet engaged. She 1% & careful, painstaking aciress, with a pretty face and figure, and she speaks her lines wit easiness and feeling. The remainder ot the cast was good, and the piece was admirably staged. At the California, Hoyt’s “A Temperance Town” opened its sec- ond week at the California Theater last night to a crowded house. The comedy is certainly one of the most original that Mr. Hoyt has ever written. It is full of bright lines and interest- ing situations, and it pleases all classes of theater-goers. The Stockwell Show, “The Great Black Crook” at Stockwell’s was strengthened by the appearance of George Dadigo, a clever juggler, last night. Dadigo did some of the most marvelous juggling wi{h qu' tubs, tables, chairs and knives ever seen n thiscity. The $erformance went very woll, and the French Dancers made their usual hit. The Orpheum’s New Bill. Some exceptional novelties were presented at the Orpheum last evening. Les Quatre Diezs, the Parisian vocalists and dancers, made one of the most remarkable hits that ever captured an audience in that theater. They are new and original, and their performance is full of bright things. They received a number of encores lastnight. Adele Ouri, who does the serpentine dance on the revolving Iglobe, was loudly ap- plauded. F.J. Bryant, Pried and Bartelo and the Vernett Brothers were also well received. The Alcazar’s Speotacle. The production of “A Black Crook Up to Date” at the Aleazar pleased another large audience last evening. The spectacle is now in good running order and the ballets and dances, designed by Miss Sallie Cerk, find lenty of appreciation. Thomas Leary and rence Thropp introduced some new business | Inst night and Senorita Matilda danced a new dance.” The piece will run until the end of the week. At the Wigwam. The Marie Rostelle Burlesque Company pre- sented a new burlesque before a crowded house last night. The piece was entertaining, and wasnotaf a loss for new songs and dances. It will please the Wigwam audiences im- mensely. Popular Concert at the Anditorinm, The Metropolitan Musical Society’s orches- tra, under the direction of Fritz Scheel, will give & popular concert to-night at the Audi- torium. The programme will include favorite compositions by Strauss, Moszkowski, Mozart, Liszt, Beethoven, Rubinstein, Milloecker, Men- delssohn, Schulz and Schywerin. 3 To-morrow afternoon at 3 o’clock the society will give a public symphony rehearsal. A pro- gramme of rare attractions has been_srranged —Gluck’s overture, “Iphigenia,” with the end- ing by Richard Wagner; MoszKowski's beauti- ful symphonic poem, “Jeanne dArc:” Bizet's site, “Romn® (first fime); and “A Night on Mourt Chauve,” by Modesta Moussorgski. This programme will be repeated Thursday evening for the society’s third symphony con- cert. IN MEMORY OF DOUGLASS. INTERESTING MEMORIAL SERVICE BY THE COLORED PEOPLE IN ZION CHURCH. HEeLD Up As A MODEL FOR PEOPLE TO PATTERN AFTER—SYMPATHY EXPRESSED. The colored popnlation of this city, Oak- land, Alameda and Berkeley assembled last night in the Zion A. M. E. Church on Stockton street, where a memorial service, under the auspices of the Assembly Club, was held in respect to the memory of the late Frederick Douglass. The edifice was crowded to its full capac- ity by an audience that listened with deep interest to the services, which were opened by George W. Dennis Jr., who briefly stated the purpose of the assem- blage, which he declared was to show in a solemn manner the respect of the colored people for the memory of one of the great- est men, if not the greatest, in whose veins negro blood flowed. Sl After a prayer by the Rev. George E. Jackson, pastor of the church, the choir, composed of Mrs. A. Clayton, alto; W. R. Davis, barytone; Professor J. H. William- son, tenor "and organist; George W. Har- McPherson, Mrs. Busan Johnson a E. A. Thomas, rendered ““I Have Set Watchers Upon Thy Wall.” Henry C. Dibble, who had expected to be present, sent a letter expressing his re- gret for his inability to n¥penr. on account of the serious illness of a member of his family. In his letter he wrote: Ihad the honor of Mr. Douglass’ acquaint- ance. He was not only & great man intellectu- ally and morally, but he was also a broad- minded patriot. Am sorry I cannot en to Miss Ida B. Wells. Tell her for me that she has the spirit of a crusader and the courage of & martyr. God will help her and her noble work. ‘W. E. Henderson, announced as the first speaker, said that he felt it an honor to speak of the greatest man of his race the world had known. He described Frederick Douglass as standing with one hand on the North and the other on the South begging or justice and equal rights for those of his race. When the colered race lost J. C. Price, who did so much to blot out the Mason and Dixon line, the mantle removed from him by the hand of death fell upon Fred- erick Douglass, who worked so faithfully in foreign land$ and in this country for those of his race until that noble man, Abraham Lincoln, with one stroke of his ven, freed 4,000,000 of enslaved people. hen, even, Douglass’ work was not done, for, when the Ku-Klux were rampant in the South, he was found working to see that justice was done to the negroes. Not only the colored people have suffered a great loss, but the American people have suffered a great loss in Frederick Douglass. What he did for the race, he said, would never be fully appreciated until the history of the negro race in the United States was written. In conclusion the speaker said: “Frederick Douglass has left footprints on the sands of time which no storm will ever efface.” Miss Lilly Wells gave as a piano solo ““Nearer, My God, to Thee” with a aelicacy of touch that would have done credit to many a professional. The Rev. Mr. Brown of Oakland dwelt upon_ the good works of Douglass, and urged the young people to study his life and pattern after him, saying in conclusion that he would feel prouder of being the son of Frederick Douglass than to be the owner of $5000. “Calvary,” a vocal solo, was rendered by Robert Thomas, and he was followed by Rev. E. T. Coltman of the Bethel M. E. Chureh, who spoke in a eulogistic strain of the great work accomplished by Douglass in his fight for the rights of the people of his race. The ‘‘Intermezzo’ from the “‘Cavalleria Rusticana” was given by the Estrella Man- dolin Club, after which " Miss Ida B. Wells spoke at some length of Douglass as she knew him, of his works for the benefit of the race, and closed by urging the young people to profit by his worksand what they taught. Cgmelius A. Hughes after a few remarks introduced resolutions prepared by the Assembly Club expressing sympathy for the loss of a great man. These were adopt- ed by a rising vote. The exercises were brought to a close by the singing of the doxology and benedic- tion by the pastor. $ ‘WaAr helps the ambitious housewife? Nothing so much as Dr. Price’s Baking Powder. RUDOLFH DRINKING AGALN. FORTIFYING HIMSELF FOR VEN- GEANCE ON HIS FORMER PATRON. BUckLEY Is STILL RUSTICATING. STATUS OF THE ELIOT CasE. Jake Rudolph’s quarrel with Chris Back- ley and the blind man’s flight to Liver- more to evade his former confidant’s threat- ened vengeance formed the chief topic of conversation among the politicians and men about town yesterday, and further de- tails of the affair are constantly coming to light. Inquiry along the ‘‘cocktail route” revealed the fact that Rudolph is drinking heavily and is rapidly reaching the condi- tion in which he was when he shot Mr. Eliot. He required assistance to reach his room Sunday night. Mr. Buckley is still in the country. The two men Mr. Buckley failed to meet_at the Baldwin Hotel, nocordin%to appointment, are Ed Corrigan and Joe TUhlman, the well-known ming men. Mr. Corrigan, in the lobby of the Baldwin last night, said : “I do not know where the Cary got the story, but the details, so far as they are known to me, were correctly stated. =~ Mr. Buckley was not to meet Mr. Uhiman and myself here one night last week at half past 9 o'clock, but he did not come. I think it was Wednesday night. Anyway, it was the evening before Uhlman went East.” A member of the Jmlice force stationed on Kearny street said last night thatorders were given four or five days ago to stand up Rudolph on sight and search him for weapons. The otficers were informed that Rudolph was ‘‘gunning’’ for some one, but the name of the threatened individual was withheld. At the Occidental Club the matter was discussed in all ts bearings and consider- able surprise was expressed that Buckley, who is on Rudolph's bond in the Kl case, did not surrender him to the authori- ties instead of leaving town himself. The charge of assault to commit murder against Jake Rudolph is still pending in Judge Low’s court. It will be remem- bered that on May 7 last Rudolph went §unmng for the proprietor of the Chronicle. le created a disturbance in the bu S office, and when the cashier, J. B. Eliot, attempted to put him out, he fired at Eliot, the bullet lodging in his groin. Rudolph was arrested and next morning his case was called in Judge Conlan’s court. On May 13 & warrant was issued from Judge Low’s court charging Rudolph with insan- ity, and two days later he was taken before the Insanity Commissioners and adjudged insane. The same day Eliot swore to the complaint charging him with assault to commit murder. The case had meantime been transferred from Judge Conlan’s court to Judge Joa- chimsen’s court.. It was continued from time to time,and on August 16 was again transferred to Judge Low's court. Month after month it has been called in this court and continued. On Thursday last it was again called, and by consent of the Prose- cuting Attorney wnd Attorney Clunie for the defendant” was again continued for thirty days. NEW TO-DAY.
