THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1896 TWD PLAYS BY LOCAL AUTHORS, The Columbia School Gives Its Hand to Native Talent. LAUGHTER AND THRILLS William - Greer Harrisunl’s Half Hour of Concentrated Agony, MISS YATES LIKES LAUGHTER. ! | The Pupils Cover Themselves With Glory in Quite a Variety of Ways. ~Two new plays were produced by the Columbia School of Dramatic Art yester- day afterncon. One was the half-hour of concentrated agony which it is becoming looked Jlike an incipient desire to do some high kicking. It was a very pretty dance, but it was not the minuet de la cour. In the Spanish bolero the modern art of high kicking also obtruded itself, to the | destruction of the real character of the dance. Spanish dancers wear skirts almost to the ankles, and instead of daacing entirely with the feet, their grace comes from the swaying rhythmic movement of the whole body. The dance was pretty, but it was not a bolero. | . Aclever performance was given by little | Juliet, who danced with a mask at the back of her head. Miss May Warring gave a clever ex- hibition of fencing with Professor Emil Tortoni. LILLIAN CROOME DIVORCED. | Judge Troutt Decided That the Dentist Was Extremely Cruel. Judge Troutt yesterday granted a { divorce to Lillian Croome on the ground of extreme cruelty. Mrs. Croome was the wife of Dr. William Croome, the dentist. | The plaintift is a sister of Dr. Decker, | another dentist. The case was heard in chambers by | Judge Troutt, the principal allegation being that Croome beat his wife with a | hairbrush and called ner vile names. | The plaintiff was allowed $40 a month | alimony and $150 counsel fees. Judge Troutt also divorced Domenicco Curcia from Antonia Curcia on the ground | of willful desertion. | | | | The Fire Department, = The Fire Commissioners yesterday afternoon appointed Charles J. Hogan hoseman of en- gine 3 and J. F. McQuade engineer of engine ’ pay for neglect of duty. Secretary reported that the department would | have a surplus or about $13,000 at the end of | the fiscal year. All the extramen will be on | duty from July 3 fo July 6 and two extra chem- | ical engines will be brought into service to | cope with the fires caused by the usual fire- | works celebration. E. F. Welsh, stoker of Engine’l, was fined ! 10 BETTER THE SCHOOL LAWS | Pertinent Recommendations of the Rules Com- mittee. TARDY TEACHERS FINED Janiters in Future Will Have to Weigh All the School Coal. HOISTING THE NATIONAL FLAG Increased Patriotic Observances—New Sanitary Laws, More Holi- days, Etc. The rules and regulations governing the public schools of San Francisco are just now being amended and revised to con- form to the ideas of the School Directors, Scene From William Greer Harrison’s New Curtain-Raiser, “Expiation.” the fashion to serve up to the audience by way of an appetizer before the solid fare of the evening begins, and the other was a sparkling little comedy which described | the attempts at matrimony committed by the three Miss Biddles. Wiiliam Greer Harrison wrote the half- | hour of concentrated agony especially for ! the Columbia School. It described one of those episodes which in plays and novels occur in men’s lives and make their hair go gray prematurely and the shadow of mysterious melancholy settle down on them forever. The play was named “Ex- piation.” It was French, very French— in fact, it was so French that parents and guardians sitting in the theater some- times clntched the elbows of their arme- chairs tightly and held their breath in terrified cuspense for fear what was com- 1ng was—well, was just a little too French for the young people of the school. Their alarm was withort foundation however. William Greer Harrison had skated over thin ice occasionally, but he had done it so skillfully that there we cause for tre g ualm. “Expiation ?-'rench orphan, was beloved by Henri Du Foise, the son ofa Frenchland owner. In- stead of rejoicing at the presence of cupid in bis family, the land owner what Dick- ens in one of his novels describes as “flops” to his son, to abjure him to re- frain. : Henri refuses to refrain, whereupon a village priest, who possesscs the paternal name of Father Pere, reveals the grewsome story. Years before Marie's father had loved Marie’s mother maaly, passionately. selfishly. Matters came to such a pas that 1t was necessary for Henri’s father to kill Marie’s father. The villain had caused | him to be defeated as-a conseriot, which shows that he was very young, but he re- turned from the war alone at night and does the deed. 3 This awiul story moves Henri to de- spair. He hears a drum and fife band without, and bidding a hasty and last fare- well to Marie and his fatner, he rushes off. in evening dress, like the heroes of Water- loo, to die for his country, while Marie falls on her knees and promises to be a danghter to her father’s slaver. The play was cleverly acted by James Keane, who, as the avenger, erred only by too faithiul a reproduction of Henry Iry- ing’s mannerisms, by Thomas Hickey as Heonri, E. Lestrado, who was dignified and convincing as the Father Pere, and by Miss | Minna Terry as Marie. : “WThe Three Miss Biddles” is a work of so much promise that it is saie to augura very bright future as a playwright for chat clever young native daughter, Miss Alice Yates Grant. An eccentricuncle hasdied, leaving untold siiver to any or each of the three Miss Biddles who shall marry a man whose name begins with “R.” Thé amusing complications arising from this situation and the appearance of & Reginald Ronald Ralston on the scene are most amusingly portrayed. The young play- wright has worked up her point splen- didaly; she makes enovgh of her comedy situations, but never works them to death. All the performers in this cast were good ; they were: R. W. Travers, Miss Helen Higby, Miss Florence K. Minot and Miss Nettie Hynes. . “Sunset,” by Jerome K. Jerome, was pleasingly acted by R. ‘W. Travers, Gegrge Godfrey, O. Humpbries, Miss May Cap- well, Miss Gracie Gray and Miss Cecelia Harmon. George Godfrey and Miss Gray especially distinguished themselves, though all the acting was excellent. The dancing was the weakest feature of {he performance, not that the young ople did not show grace, but the char- acter of the dances had not been pre- served. BEvery one avho has read the good old navels of the last century remembers that the Pamelas and the Clarissas of the period were always invited by their beaux to “walk’ a minuet. The idea of ‘pranc- ing with uplifted feet through 1ts stately measures would have shocked their sensi- tive souls. : On the part of the pupils yesterday a light, springy step was adopted, which tells how Marie, a | 'SPYKE MISSED THE «&0" | The Dutch Traveler Who Hadn't Heard of Corbett Fell Asleep. | 1' o | Rises Barly, Posts Himself on All the i Fistic News and Takes in a | Kinetoscope. | H.Y. Spyke, the traveler from Holland | who had never heard of Corbett, did not | see the fight after all, as he fell asleep at the California from the fatigue of his journey, the last day of which necessi- tated a start at 4 o’clock A. M. He was upearly enough yesterday morn- ing, however, and had so far posted him- self on fistic contests and the engagement of the previous night that in the afternoon he was discussing the possibility of Cor- | bett’s appearing in Oakland before start- | ing eastward for the purpose of meeting | Fitzsimmons in England. “Do you think there will be another fight in the next few weeks?” was his first | query. ‘‘If there is one [ will stay for 1t. “After I read the papers this morning 1 went to see in a kinetoscope a fight. Oh, it was very fine. Isaw Corbett hit a man | so fast and then he knocked him down. “J saw some men driving horses all with signs, ‘The Races, Ingleside.” Where is that? 1 want to see that.” | Out came a notebook and on a leu | where he had slready written *“CIiff | House,” “Burlingame,’”’ he jotted down | directions to Ingleside. | “And can you tell me what is this | *Lucky Baldwin, the God of Love?’ 1 want to see that, too. Oh, I thought it was a great piece of statuary, may be, in | your park. « |~ “Iam just now writing to mrv brother in Amsterdam all about what I have seen. 1 tola him that this Golden Gate in the land of gold is no more golden than ‘the Red Sea is red and just some ugly bluff of earth. “The editor of the Telegraph, the big- gest paper in Holland, takes the letters | from my brother and publishes what | things he wishes from them. The papers in my country have not so many pages as yours, nor have they so large circulation, forin Holland there are only 4,500,000 ople, though Amsterdam is larger than g:n Francisco. It has 500,000 people. ‘1 wrote to my brother that the women on this side are very much prettier than on the other side. The women in New York, ugh, they are not beautiful, “In my guidebook to America which I bought in Germany it says: ‘Palo Alto— where there isa great university, but more fine horses than students.” I am going to see every town between San Francisco and Ban Jose. .“When I was reading a_sign the other day where itsaia ‘Our Next President’ and a big crowd was there 8 man took me by the shoulders behind, shook me, hit me on the shoulder and said ‘What’s the matter with McKinley?’ “Idon’t like that any more than the American that came to Holland and could not sleep because the clock chimes rang every half hour in ali the towers of the city.” . ‘Wants His Child. A petition has been filed in the Buperior Court by Melville C. Baker, asking for the cus- tody of his daughter, Grace E. Baker. He al- leges that his former wife, from whom he was diverced in 1888, is cruel to the child. Atthe time of the divorce, the custody of the girl was awarded to Mrs. Baker, Grace is now 14 years of age. D Sued the Ex-Sheriff.; R. C. Jones, assignee of the estate of Louis Lai estate of Louis Landier, for an accounting. | dler, has sued J. J. McDade, receiver of the | each succeeding set of whom is presumed to be wiser than any of its predecessors. Recently the Board of Education, realiz- ing the necessity of asserting its individu- ality of authority, anthorized the appoint- ment by Superintendent Babcock of a committee of principals, consisting of Frank Morton of the Lowell High School, Joseph O’Connor of the Horace Mann Grammar, Emma E tier Primnary and Miss P. H. Nolan of the Washington Evening, to make such sug- gestions as were deemed desirable to the better government of the schools. After mature deliberation the Rules Committee, consisting of T. R. Knox (chairman), A. Comte Jr. and H. C. Hen- derson, has agreed upon a number of changes which will be finally decided in a | committee of the whole. The dates of the opening and the closing of the school terms have been changed, tardy teachers are held to a stricter ac- countability, patriotic observances are ex- tended and emphasized, and janitors are required to keep check on the coal con- tractors. The new rules comprise the fol- lowing provisions: ‘The first term of the public schools shall be- gin on the first Monday of August, and end on the Friday next preceding Christmas. The second term shall begin on the Monday follow- ing the first day of January, and end on the third Friday of June. State Labor day is added to the list of school holidays. If a teacher shall fail to be at his or her post of duty at the appointed hour three times in any one calendar month the principul sball re- port such tardiness to the committee on rules, and if thereafter the same teacher is similarl; tardy, he or she shall forfeit hali a day’s sai- ary. ‘Teachers are strictly forbidden to require their plipils to periorm any menial service or to send them on private or personal errands during school hours. The power to transfer Inplll irom one school to another, when good reasons exist for so doing, is taken from the Classification Com- mittee and vested in the Superintendents. Any High School student may so arrange his or her studies, under the direction of the prin- cipal, as to compiete the regular course in four or more years. Physiclans’ certificates of vaccination, etc., Hgiven to pupils, must be countersigned By the lealth Officer before they can be received in the schools. Janitors shall weigh all coal received at the schools and shall report thereon to the princi- pals. Certificates of these weights shall be signed by the principals and sent by them to the Secretary of the Board of Education, who shall make & record of the same and then send them to the committee on supplies. Janitors shall raise the American flag on school-houses on the first and last school day of the school year and on the last school day before and the first school day after each vaca- tion; during pubilc exercises, on Washing- ton’s birthday, Bunker Hill day, the Fourtn of July, Admission day, Patriotic day and on such other deys as may be ordered by the Board of Education, the President or the Superintendent. The flag must be at half- mast on Memorial day, on the death of a teacher or pupil and on such other days as may be ordered by the board, the President or the Superintendent. Garnisheed Rocrette’s Money. Jacob Rauer yesterday filed in the Sheriff's effice an attachment against Charles Rochette’s money for boxing at the Pavilion on the pre- vious night. The story goes that Rochette got in debt $60 when training for a previousfight, and his creditors sprung the garnishee on the night of the fight at the Paviiion. An answer was filed that the claim had been transferred. ‘Wants Sutro’s Wood. E. A. Reddy, superintendent of the Alms- house, asks permission of the Board of Super- visors tocontract with AdolphSutro for 100 cordsof wood at $5 per cord, The superin- tendent sets forth that the wood is accessible, well sulted for the bakery, that the price is low and the cost of hauling much less than it would cost to haul it from the City. Rescued & Chinese Girl. Miss Susie Williams has asked to be ap- pointed guardian of Ah Sui, a little Chinese rl, who was rescued from a house of iil- yme by ‘the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. “General McComb was her guardian, and at his death the parents of the child made an effort 1o get possession of ber.

Joseph Brady Jumps Into the Bay, but Is Rescued. Joseph Brady, an old man without a home, jumped into the bay from Clay- street wharf yesterday afternoon. Hewas rescued and taken to the Receiving Hos- pital. ’ “I was despondent,” said Brady, “and I | want to end my life, as 1 have nothing to live for. I was once foreman of the Pio- neer Woolen Miils, but for some years I g?ve been trying to earn a living by ped- ing. “My two_boys died eight yearsago on the same day from diphtheriaand I am always dreaming about them. I heard them calling to me from the bay, but when I jumlped into the water they were not there. Iwantto get to them and what is the use of always dragging me out of | the water.” About two months ago Brady tried to drown himself in the bay. He says the next time he will do it when no one is around. —_———— A CHINESE BURGLAR. Tom Yee, Alias American Jim, Sent to the County Jail. Tom Yee, aiias American Jim, was sent to the County Jail for six months by Judge Conlan yesterday on the charge of keeping an opium resort on Sacramento street. American Jim is the oldest and best- known Chinese burglar on the Pacific Coast. For the past thirty-six years he | has been sent to the penitentiary seven ! times for burglary. He is now over 60 years of age and a Ehysicnl wreck. After he has been in the Jounty Jail for & short time efforts will be made to have him deported. 3 FREUD AND THE LADIES, The Secretary of the Merchants’ Asscciation Defends the Charter. Points Out Some Erroneous Impres- sions of the American Woman's Liberal League. Secretary Freud of the Merchants’ Asso- ciation is not disposed to permit any at- tack on the proposed new charter to go unchallenged. This is his reply to the op- position to the instrument manifested by the American Woman’s Liberal League: To the Editor of the Call—DEAR SIR: In your issue of this morning appeared certain resolu- tions passed by the American Woman’s Liberal League in opposition to the charter. Without intending to discourage these ladies in their commendable enthusiasm in the public wel- fare, justice to the charter and its framers makes it proper and necessary to correct them in their erroneous conclusions. Reterring to the clause in the charter re- quiring teachers in the primary and grammar | classes ot our public schools to be educated in the school system of the State, the ladies seem to lose sight of the fact that this clause can refer only to teachers to be engaged hereafter, not to those who are now in the department: and if the application of this principle of atronizing as it were home production is not ound a desirable feature of the charter it can, of course, be amended Accordinfly. These ladies are also greatly surprised not to find' anything in the charter governing the election of the Mayor and certain other offi- cials as well as amendment of the charter. If they will kindly turn to the constitution of California and the general laws of the State bearing upon cities and counties they will find ample provision for these very matters. It would be idle and superfluous for the charter to repeat provisions aiready clearly declared in the constitution and general laws of the State. The resolutions also state that there are no provisions in the charter *‘along_the lines laid down by modern sociology.” Not being en- tirely certzin as to the exact meaning of this declaration, I must forego the privilege of making any attempt at the solution of the conundrum, In conclusion, it certainly must occur to the average citizen that the charter is an excel- lent document when it js cousidered that the objections so far raised against it are so weak and baseless. The friendsof the charter only | ask the citizens of San Francisco toread and consider its provisions. While it is by no perior to the present laws governiug the City. Respecttully yours, J. RICHD FREUD. DISCUSSED THE FUNDS, Executive Committee for the Fourth Says How Much to Spend. The Competitive Patriotic Poetical Productions Now Range in the Eundreds. | The executive committee for the Fourth of July met last night to discuss funds. The auditing committee submitted a re- port for the limit of expenditures which was, with a few alterations, approved. Af- ter much discussion it was resolved to ap- propriate for the different items about as | follows: Parade committee—General Warfield, $780; rizes, §75; Veteran Firemen, $50; police, Bi&" Hoat, $300; incidenta's, telegrams, etc., $09° hacks, $125; music, $1000; regalia, $200. Total, $2600. Literary cammiuee»keul,gfr music, §85; tableaux, $78; prize poems, $50; chairs, $15; decorations, $100; chorus, $50. Total, $466. ' | Invitation and reception committee—Merry- go-round $50, flags $64, refreshments $50, help $40—$204. Fireworks $1000, office expenses, station- ery, stamps, etc., $1500. Decoration streets $800. Total, $6570. It was resolved that another transporta- tion committee be appointed, consisting of A. J. Raisch, Captain Kearney and Cap- tain MeDonald. Mr. Hallidie thought that the display of fireworks should be concentrated on Washington, Union, Jefferson and the other large squares of the City. It was stated that the Native Daughters will turn out in larger number than ever before. The ten parlors will participate in the parade. Grand Marshal Umbsen moved that an appropriation not to exceed $300 be made for two floats—one for the Goddess of Liberty and the other for the personage representing the State of California. This was passed. The litera bad struggle committee reported that it through 120 poetical selec- tions sent in as competitive productions for whe one patriotic poem. Of these the committee selected a number of the best for critical examination. It was decided to invite a minister to deliver the opening prayer at the exercises in the Pavilion and to invoke the benedic- tion. The parade committee submitted the following resolution: WHEREAS, The ex-Union Veterans have, through their organization, accepted an invi- {)-u‘::n to parade on July Fourth; therefore, e Resolved, By the ex-Union Veterans on the parsae commitiee that the grand marshal issue an invitation through the press asking all ex-Union veterans not attached to any or- anization, and all ex-Confederate veterans to fom in the parade. nsu“;:d‘: o n"'roAti Cw‘m‘uxsmig, Captain L. £ y J.
