Mrs. Mooney, however, ex- plained significantly that there was noth- ing to prevent her giving the pictures away. The young Englishman’s mother- in-law is apparently a shrewd business woman, and evidently appreciates adver- tising. A SUPPLEMENT OF REMOVALS. An Excellent Plan to Improve the City Directory. Langley’s San Francisco Directory pub- lishers have issued a supplement contain- ing changes, removals, new names, deaths, ete., since the gathering of information for the main volume.

Gracle Plaisted as Interlocutor. Actresses Will Sell Flawers ¢ on the Street. T. Daniel Frawley may wrap the robes of his own dignity around himself at the Columbia, but Edward Hayes will play “Virginius" at Morosco’s next Thursday afternoon for the actors’ benetit. “Can Hayes play it?” was the question put to a Morosco actor yesterday. ‘‘Play it,”” shouted the actor, “why, he’s got the voice and shape for it and can rip the stuffin’ out of it.” Mr. Frawley will not appear at the Grand Opera-house on the occasion of the great benefit, but his friends aver that pro- fessional jealousy of Mr. Hayes had noth- ing to do with his decision in this respect. He simply adheres to a purpose formed before the benefit was mentioned—a pur- pose not to appear again on the same stage with Mr. Hayes. Mr. Friedlander, manager of the Colum- LADY SHOLTO DOUGLAS AND THE FLORAL PIECE THAT WAS PRESENTED TO HER AFTER DOING HER TURN ON THE STAGE.

In the meantime the pretty bri singing at the Auditorium. She “did a turn” at the matinee Sunday afternoon. | She got through as soon as possible, | though, for she knew the photographer was waiting for her and she was anxious to appear to good advantage. An Elite gallery artist had been wait- ing for two hours for her ladyship to appear. She arrived at last attired ina showy red cloth dress with black pas- sementerie trimmings. The low corsage and short sleeves revealed a plump girlish neck and arms, inclined rather to be stocky. And her ‘“make-up” was something to marvel at. An intense glow pervaded her cheeks, while the blackened eyelashes and eyebrows were extremely prominent. Flowers had been sent up to her at the close of the performance. They were in the form of a set piece—something utterly unlike what the “Willieboy” would be likely to send his inamorata. In order that she should know they were for her the donor had marked in the flowers the words: “Lady Sholto Douglas.” It was beside this gaudy example of the florist’s disfiguring art that the young couple were phbotographed. The artist contirued to pose them in various positions and attitudes till he found that the young man was not Lord Sholto Douglas, but the brother of the bride. Then Mr. Addis, as heis called, was dropped from the group and her ladyship ‘was taken alone. ““Oh, yes,”” Mrs. Mooney said, in talking of the matter, “they’ll be married in church, sure. My daughter wanted to wait till after her engagements had been filled, for she has five weeks more of her time contracted for. But Lord Douglas msisted upon being married at once. “‘8till they wanted to keep the affair a secret. So they went to San }}ou and were married legally, but they intended to keep the matter quiet and let no one know till the{vwere married in church. “You know how they succeeded. Now, of course, times are different. I don’t know when they will be married again, but it will be soon. Lord Sholto is still at Bur- lingame, where he has English friends of his own rank. He promised to be back this morning, but Idon’t know when he will get in, although I expect him to-night. ‘““What are their plans‘s Well, I hardly know. You see, Lord Douglas is waiting to hear from his father. He will then be able to map out the future. *‘Of course nothing can be done till our five weeks’ engagements are concluded. ‘We have a week more here, are booked for two weeks at Sacramento and two weeks at Ban Jose, much to Lord Sholto's dis- ust. After that my daughter will retire rom the stage and I suppose she and her husband will go to his home. “I understand from Lord Sholto that there is a castle belonging to his father in Scotland that is at present unoccupied. It is very likely that alter remaining here for six months they will take posses- sion there. The place is out of the way, but my daughter will have her retinue of Mooney, servants and her carriages and the other appurtenances of noble families.’” Mooney thought it probable that her dnufiguar’u engagement at Sacramento might be canceled. In that case, she would put in the time in a San Francisco theater. / Only a few days ago Lord Douglas in- troduced himself at the British consulate for the first time. This was at the advice of his mother-in-law elect, who assured him that it was his duty to show that he could act like 2 man before entering upon matrimony.

FIGHTING FOR A LIFE, Attorney Colwell Trying to Save Murderer Collins From the Gallows. Raises a Technicallty as to the Date of Warden Hale’s War- rant. District Attorney Barnes has been in- formed that George E. Colwell, attorney for Patrick Collins, convicted of murder- ing his wife and sentenced to he hanged next Friday, is straining every nerve to prevent the execution of his client on that day. The attorney’s latest move is to warn Warden Hale that the execution warrant is informal. Following is his let- ter to the Warden: SAN FRANCISCO, June 8, 1895. Hon. W. E. Hale, Warden of the San' Quentin State Prison, San_Quentin Prison, Marin County Cal.—DEAR SIR: You hold a warrant of execu- tion in the case of the people vs. Patrick J. Collins wherein you are directed to execute him on the 3d day ot May, 1895, that I believe 1s your only authority to excute him. Prior to the 3d day of May Governor Budd, as he had a right to under section 1417 of the Penal Code, granted him a reprieve until the 7th day of June, 1895. 1 hereby notify you that you have not the right under the law to execute Collins on that day. The warrant and the only authority that you hold, as I believe,was issued under section 1217 of the Penal Code, and its authority has ceased by reason of the Governor's reprieve. I call your attention to section 1227 of the Penal Code, which is as follows: “If for any reason a judgment of death has not been executed and it remains in force, the court in which the conviction was had, on the application of the District Attorney, must order the defendant to be brought before it. * * * Upon the defend. ant being brought before the court it must i quire into the facts, and, if no legal reasons it against the judgment, must make an order, s e Bl Sl SR e vs. Dick, .,102; People vs. Sing Lum, b1 Cal., 538-540. v Under the circumstances, as I view the law, 1f you execute Collins on the said 7th day of June, 1895, you do so without authority, and would, therefore, commit murder, and I hereby notify you that in such event Coliin’ relatives ‘would pro against you for so doing. I informed the District Attorney this morn- ing that I proposed ulllng your attention to my view of the law. Iwill bein my office on ‘Wednesday if you desire to communicate with regard to this matter. Yours uulg, GEo. E. COLWELL. This is_practically the same objection successfully urged lt? Carroll Cook ‘in the case of Murderer McNulty. Mr. Colwell admits that it is a technicality, but hopes by means of it to secure sufficient delay to enable him to carry the case up to the United States Supreme Court. Governor Budd has ltively refused to grant another reprieve in Collins’ case. ————— THERE is an article on this market seldom equaled and never exceiled—Jesse Moore Whis- ky. Moore, Hunt & Co. guarantee its purity, * No one so well knows the value | | | last evening the letter-press copy, dated May 28, 1895, of a communication to the Actors’ Association, wherein the manager requested the association to call upon theater for any service it could render in behalf of the benefit. The manager was asked: “Had Mr. Frawley signified his intention not to ap- I)ear with Mr. Hayes before you wrote this etter? ‘‘He had,” was the reply. ‘“When the benefit was first mentioned he declared that he would not, for reasons of profes- sional propriety, associate himself on the stage with Mr. Hayes.”’ “Did he reach this decision before the cast of the character of Virginius was discussed 2"’ “I am sure that he did,” replied Mr. Friedlander. “Heisgoverned in all things pertaining to his profession by a very nice—I may say an almost extreme—sense of professional propriety. His personal character is clean and above reproach, and he expects from the people of his company a due regard for professional ethics. He will not even allow members of the com- pany to stand in _front of the theater for the passing crowd to see. He is an actor, highly respected in the profession, whose word is as good as his bond. As I under- stand, his only reason for refusing to ap- pear at the benefit performance is his understanding that Mr. Hayes cast a covert insinuation on a married lady whose char- acter is umblemished.” “Do you not think, Mr. Friealander. that the lady herself should feel aggrieved at both Mr. Frawley and Mr. Hayes—one for making an insinuation and the other for resenting it in a manner to invite the widest public attention 2" The manager replied: ‘‘Miss Bates is exceedingly bright and intellectual, and the people of the company know her to be a lady of the highest character. She lives with "her aunt in the Western Addition and Mr. Frawley lives at the Palace Hotel. Ido not know how she feels about the controversy. Sheis capable and indepen- dent, and [ should say fully able to take care of herself. If the cudgel was taken up in her behalf it was because every one in the company respects her so hiE ly. She is a married lady, the wife of Lieutenant Davis of the United States Army. At least I do not know that she is divorced.” At the clubs and other Places frequented by Mr. Frawley he is well spoken of, and commended as a gentleman of good ad- dress and polite associations. e is an American of Irish descent, and made his first hit in California while here with Crane in the “Senator’’ company. Edmund Hayes, the leading man of Morosco’s Theater, is not without friends. He has a legion of admirers, and is - ticularly adored by the very young ies of play-going inclinations. "Nething de- lights them more than the heroic attitudes olgHayes. A An ‘actor who is well uainted with the coming personator of Virginius, said ¥esterday: “‘Hayes isan American from llinois.~ He is a young man who promises to achieve fame as an actor. There is dan- ger that he may be spoiled by the admira- tion and flattery of women. "They are al- ways loitering around him, and he ma; sometime reg}l:]s.e attentions in a roug] way, Idon’t lieve that he ever cast any insinuation covert or direct on any lady. He is very discreet in what he says.” It transpires now that the Morosco people have contended from the time the benefit was first spoken of that the honor of representing Virginius in the forum scene should go to an actor of the Morosco company. The programme in that respect 'has been formed. Hayeshas been measured up and down and it has been found that the montel of John McCullough will fit him like the paper on the wall. ‘T ursday, June 6, will be' a day long to be remembered in the histrionic calendar of California. On that day Governor Budd will be at the Grand Opera-house. If the weather is fine Colonel F.S.Chadbourne and Colonel Nat James of the Governor’s staff will also be there. George Osbourne wiil tender to the Gov- ernor the scroll of honorin the Actors' Association. Gracie Plaisted will appear on the stage as interlocutor. If some of her interrogatories do not bewilder the audience they will at least amaze the ac- tors to whom they will be addressed. The programme is not only rich but it is racy. Jules Levy will play on his cornet. Roncovieri’s ‘American band of eighty- five pieces will render the overture of “William Tell.” All the local theatrical managers }exceptinz perhaps Mr. Fried- lander) will appear on the stage in the gambling scene of “Camille.” Greatest of all events, the full complement of the Actors’ Association will appear as the mul- titude in the forum to Edmund Hayes’ Virginius. 2 I the ladies of the association will sell flowers in front of the theater. The jun- ior members of the association will act as ushers under the direction of E. J. Holden. The Alabama Company will give one act. Artists Davenport and Swinnerton will sketch in public. Frank Bangs will recite the “Seven Ages.”” The reception com- mittee will consist ofexecutive members of the Actors’ Association. A scene will be set in full view of the au- dience by 300 members of the Theatrical Employers’ Union, but thére will be only one Vuginins, and his name is Edmund Hayes of Illinois. THE PLAVERS' COLUMA, “My Jack,” a Newand Thrilling Melodrama, at Morosco’s Opera-House. “Cinderella” a Success at the Al- cazar—Last Week of the Lill- putians. In “The Arabian Nights,” which was pictured last night, the Frawley Dramatic Company gave the best all-round perform- ance that it has yet presented at the Columbia Thedter. Other plays may have been distinguished by special character work, but the entire cast was well chosen last night. H. D. Blackmore was thoroughly in his ele- ment as Arthur Hummingtop, the gentleman with a superfiuity of relatives, and Miss Phosa MeAllister gave an excellent rendering of his stern mother-in-law. Miss Belle Archer looked charming as the gutta-percha girl, and acted the part with characteristic dash and recklessness, while Miss Blanche Bates gave an interpretation of the ingenue, Daisy, in which she managed to throw off a good deal of the self-consciousness that too often mars bher scting. Daniel Frawley, who replaced Wilson Enos at a couple of hours’ notice, made a pleasant natural Ralph Omerod, but George H. Leslie might with advantage tone down his Joshua Gillibrand. The play wes preceded by & curtain raiser. Baldwin Theater. The Liliputians entered the last week of their engagement at the Baldwin Theater with their usual large and appreciative audience. MOROSC0’S OPERA-HOUSE. Production of “My Jack With Sanford in the Title Role. Thrilling incidents and scenic effects can scarcely go further than in “My Jack,” which was produced last night at Morosco’s Opere- house. The scene in Falmouth lighthouse is one of the most thrilling. ‘The men rush out to save a ship wrecked in | a fearful storm, and in their absence the light- | house is blown up by a bomb previously placed there by the baronet. where Jack and Panitza, having saved the col- ors after a battle with the Zulus, have lost their way and crawl in d{lng from thirst. Charles Swain, who played Pat with much quaint humor, received a great ovation on his reappearance. Waiter Stantord, the “manag- ing-actor-author,” was very favorably received in the role of Jack, and Edward Hayes made & hit as the vagsboud Greek. Miss McHenry Inlyed pleasantly and with spirit, and Miss e e sister, instead of a wife, ac- cording to her wont. TIVOLI OPEEA-HOUSE. Revival of 'S8hip Ahoy” With Two New Prima Donnas. Little change has been made in ‘‘Ship Ahoy” since it was formerly produced at the Tivoli. Itsrevival last night was an excellent performance and served to introduce two new prima donnes. Miss Royce, who made her first successat | the Tivoli and waslast here with the American Extravaganza Company, comed last night. Her acting was especially applanded though her singing also gave satis- faction. Louise Royce made 8 hit,especially in the second act where she sang ‘‘Ah, Tis Love!” very sweetl Hartman and Gracie Plaisted introduced a hit on “Trilby,” which was yery amusing, Hartman fainting at the sight of the renowned “Trilby foot. Alcazar. The Alcazar was crowded last night to the doors, the attraction being the beautiful spectacular fairy tale “Cinderella.” The piece was well staged, and reflects great credit on the director, W. J. Elleford. Mr. Elleford also took the part of Pedro, his work being well received. Miss Jessie Norton made a very acceptable Cinderella, the other characters in the play beingalso well cared for. The features of the evening, however, were the song and dance act of john A. Coleman, and the clever playing of the Lynch children, who possess musical talent of no small degree. Mr. Coleman made a at hit in an original song entitled “Flower Girl,” and was also well received in “Mrs. McNally.” In this last somg Mr. Coleman introduces a clever dance, which was so well received that he was compelled to repeat it three times. The Alcazar Ewple have an attractive programme this week, and their house will no doubt be well patronized. Orpheum, The Orpheum had an attractive bill for its patrons last night, and every item on the pro- gramme ‘was heartily applauded. “The two American Macs,” a5 the bill puts them down, proved the feature of the evening, their inimi- table Irish acts drawing round after round of applause irom the immense audience. MclIntyre and Heath, the negro imperson- ators, continue to be well received, while the German comedians, Roger Brothers, in their song and dance act, were also heartily ap- plauded. Amann, the great impersonator, pre- sented some new characters—Lincoln, Blaine and other well-known public men. Levy, the cornetist, bas a new programme this week, and his playing continues to draw hundreds of ad- mi hearers to the Orpheum. Venetian Water Oarnival. The management presented an entire change of programme last night. The floats and tableaux, designed and arranged by George L. Clayton, proved the most attractive feature of the evening’s entertainment. Rosenthal's “Elaine’’ was probfihli the best received of the floats, and was heartily applauded by the im- mense audience. The carnival grows more ‘popular each week, each night showing an in- creased attendance. — St. Peter’s Parish. The Rev. Charles L. Miel of Sausalito has been requested to take charge of the Episcopal arish of St. Peter’s in this City, but has not ecided to do so.

JUDGE McKENNA NOT READY. He Does Not Want to Try the Case. Judge Gilbert or Judge Ross Will. The United States Circuit Court was crowded yesterday morning in anticipa- tion of oratorical efforts to be made dur- ing the hearing of the case of the United States against the Stanford estate. Attor- neys were there by the dozen, and the outside public thronged the remainder of the courtroom. Circuit Judge McKenna ascended the bench promptly at 11 4. x. and the crowd was not kept waiting very long. He apol- ogized to the attorneys for having to post- pone the hearing. “I am engaged in the Circuit Court of Appeals,” said he, “and Judges Ross and Hawley are now awaiting me. I will put the case over till Wednes- day morning at 11 o’clock, and then some Judge will surely hear the case. The court will now stand adjourned.” It has now been definitely settled that Judge McKenna will not adjudicate on Uncle Sam’s claim against the Stanford estate for the $15,000,000 loaned the Central Pacific Railway. Circuit Judges W. B. Gilbert and E. M. Ross are now in San Francisco, and one or the other will pass on the case. The chances are that it will be Judge Ross, but when he was asked the question direct he answered, “I am not sure—the matter is not settled yet.” ‘When it became known around the Appraisers’ building that Judge McKenna was not going to hear the famous case there were expressions of wonder all over the place. When the factsin the matter became known, however, their wonderment ceased. 7 When Senator Stanford died, and his will was placed on file, it was found that Joseph ficKenna, United 8tates Circuit Judge of the Northern District of Califor- nia, was named as one of the trustees. His Honor was a warm personal friend of Sena- tor Stanford. The will, however, was made before McKenna became a Judge. At the time the will was published it was known that the suit to recover the $15,000,- 000 due the United States was to be insti- tuted against Senator Stanford’s estate, and that naturally it would be brought in the Circuit Court. ‘When Judge McKenna was askea what he would doin the circumstances he answered that he would never allow his duties as a trustee to interfere with his oath as a Fed- eral Judge. Shortly afterward he resigned his trusteeship and now the chances are that he will not try the case, because he is afraid that there might be the least bit of bias on his part in favor of the defendant. There can be no doubt but that both plaintiff and defendant will receive equal and exact justice at the hands of either Judge Ross or Judge Gilbert. “fudge McKenna is a little sensitive on this particular matter,” said a prominent attorney yesterday. “He is afraid that should iis decision be in favor of the Stan- ford estate some one might say that his friendship outweighed his judgment. In order to do away with any cause for re- mark either Judge Gilbert or Judge Ross will hear the case.” NEW TO-DAY—AMUSEMENTS. BALDWIN THEATER. AL HAYMAN & CO.
