Albers’ Fins Work. The French operatic organization at the California Theater combined two entirely different kinds of bills last night. The first part.of the programme consisted of Michael Carres’ and V.ctor Masse’s frothy little operetta, *Les Noces de Jeannette, and the second part of the bill was Mas- cagnie’s musical melodrama, “La Caval- leria Rusticana.” “Les Noces de Jeannette” pleased the aundience better than “Miss Helyett” did on Saturday, probably because there is more singing and consequently less dia- logue. Jeannette is a young peasant girl who is about to marry a man in her own rank of life nam+d Jean. At the eleventh hour Jjean thinks better of his proposed marriage, looks on the wine when it is red, and when he finds that he has been . | tricked into signing the marrirge con- | tract by the wily Jeannette he breaks all the furniture in his very modest little i home. Jeannette is not daunted, however. While Jean is sleeping off the effects of the win~ in the bayloft she has the house refurnished regardless of expense, cooks her recreant lgrd a nice omelet and makes | him so comfortable on hisawakening that he agrees 10 love her and live happy ever afterward. M. Freiche was a clever Jean, and sus- tained the cialogue entirely on hisown shoulders, for Mme. Berthet as Jeannette scarcely raised her speaking voice above | the ordinary conversational tore of a lady talking in a drawing-room, and the con- sequence was that the dialogue had to be gathered aimost entirely irom Freiche’s side of the conversation. | In compensation for this carelessness in | dialogue;Mme. Berthel sang so charm- | ingly that sie may be said to have carried | off'a large share of the honors of the per- | jormance. The aria in which she sang, | with a flute accompanimen?, was exquis- litely renaered. There were a couple of minor roles satisfactorily taken by Grevin and Lelong. After the operetta tha audience had to endure analmost interminable wait before the curtain went up on the “Cavalleria Rusticana.” 1t would be hard to say why the wait was inflicied on the public, for the settings of Mascagni’'s opera were of such a meager description that the stage could have been set in a few minutes. The overture to “La Cavel'eria Rusti- { cana’” was brilliantly played under the | direction of M. Nicosias, and Massart | sang the incidental tenor aria well. All through the opera the orchestra did ex- ceptionally good work, and it goes with- | out saying that the iniermezzo was en- cored, for to encore the intermezzo has become a tradition. Mme. Foedor, the Santuzza, sang well and occasionally grew iragic in her act- ing, but she was rot so impressive as (wo other Santuzzas who have been heard here. Emma Juck was altogether more artistic in her conception of the role and Thea Dorre was more powerfully dramatic. Although Foeuor acred well she did not | seem able to shuke off entirely the tradi- tions of singers never forget the hearers. The re- cital of her wrongs was addressed more to the house than to Mamma Lucia, and some of her pleadings with Turridu were addressed almost as much 10 the specta- tors as to the recreant lover. Foedor sang well, however, and in some parts of her role she acted very artistically. The dramatic music of Turridu’s role suited Massart excellently, but be was not dramatic enough in his acting. Henri Albers, the silver-voiced baryione, made a brilliant success of the thankiess role of Alfio, and Andree Savine was a charm- ingly coquetuish Lola. Fremeau was a sung with a splendid volume of voice.

GRIEVNCES G LABOR Too Many Non-Union Men Work- | ing on the Big Public i Buildings. The Bou'evard Committee Condemned for Underpaying for the Work | on the Roid. The committee appointed by the Build- ing Trades Council to investigate the work being done on public buildings pre- sented its report at iast evening’s meeting, which in substance was as follows:’ William Stiles of the International Bricklayers’ Union, which is not affiliated with the local union, has the- brickwork on the new Hall of Justice on Kearny and Washington streets. He will hire all of his bricklayers and hodcarriers outside of the local unions. A visit was made upon Supervisor Shee- han of the Public Buildings Commaittee. He promised 1o do all in_ his power to have the contractors onjthe Hall of Justice hire union men. Secretary Smith of ‘he Rae Building and Contracting Company at work on the Afliliated Colleges and Mission Hign School, explained that he had no desire to dispose of the union men; in fact, he preferred their services, but circumstances and friends nad compelled him to take on non-union laborers to run wheelbarrows. He desires, however, to have all union men in his employ. The committee saw Chairman Burns of the Buildings and Grounds Committee of the Board of Education in regard to the High School job. He promised todo all in his power to straighten outany diffi- culties between the union and the con- | tractors and to see that the men work only | eight hours a day. The committee, with a member of the Marble-cutters’ and Finishers’ Unio called upon the Supervisors relative io the matter of the marble work in the City Halil tower. The meeting was very unsatisfactory, as the City Hall Commissioners state that they are satisfied with the reports of the superintendent and architect, and advised tihe complainarts to make sworn state- ments as to the work complained of. However, the Commissioners promised to look over the work as soon as the Mayor can meet with the others. A conference will be held between La- bor Commissioner Fiizgerald and Attor- the older school in which the | good Lucia, and the mixed choruses were | ing the eight-hour law on all work on public bnildings. This ended the report. A resolution was passed by the council condemning the boulevard committee for compelling the unemployed to labor for a dollar a day, The reason given was that such an action would reduce the standard of all labor and lower the already too low rate of wages. Several delegates asserted that the boulevard will be of no use to any but the wealthy, who can ride thereon. The work to be done should be performed in the public parks, where the laboring classes would receive the benefit. ————— Ingleside Coursiug.

One of the most vicious cases of cruelty toanimals, if true as char:ed, ever pre- sented to the attention of the local society for the prevention of such acts resulteld vesterday in the arrest of Patrick Fur- long, proprietor of the “Irish Tavern,” on | I street, between Ninth and Tenth ave- nues, south of the park. The arrest was | made by Officers Hooper and MtCurrie of | the society, on tbe sworn complaint of R. A. Tuttle, a commercial traveler, who lives 1n that vicinity. 1n his complaint Tuttle alleges that last Sunday Furlong took a bulldog that came from a contractor’s camp near by and was in the habit of hanging round bis place, tied it to a fence across the way and pro- ceeded to empty his revolver into the poor brute. ‘While doing so, Tuttle alleges, he would give veat to such expressions as “Now, watch me hit him in the head,” ‘*See a piece fly from his ear,” “Wonder if I can’t break a hind lez?" Each sho: that took-effect caused the | poor beast to jump and tug frantically at the rope, moaning and howlinz pitifully the while. So horrible was the spectacle that Tuttle’s wife, w o happened to see it, was overcome by the shocfl and fainted. After emptying his revoiver and failing to kill the dog, though he inflicted several wounds, the complaint alleges that Fur- long left itin agony and went into s saloon. Shortly afierward a number of men from the contractor's camp came along with clubs and literally beat the | tormented doe to deatn, Furlong admitted the act of cruelty to the arresting officers, but claimed that the dog was vicious and better off out of the way. QUEER SIGNBOARDS, Strangze- Des'gns Painted for British Landlords in Years Long Past. In the days of the Commonwealth we can imagine Praise-God Barebones and his cronies quaffing their daily tankards of ale at the inn piously named **God En- compasseth Us” or at the sign of the “‘Alpha Beta.” Yet it was not long ere both of these had fallen from their high estate, the one being known far and wide as “The Goat and the Compasses,” with a | prancing beast and mathematical instru- ment conscientiously depicted on the signboard, and the other as the *Alpha. bet,”” with all the letters from A to Z | printed above ihe door. An exceedingly popular hostelry at a point from which several mail coaches formerly started was originally named Boulogne Moutn in honor of a British victory gained at the mouih of Boulozne harbor in the reign of Henry VIII, but the waterscape or battle scene having after awhile become effaced by time and weatber from the signboard some stupid boniface thought he was doing the proper thing when he bad painted an enormous mouth with a jocose lirtle bull beneath. From that day on che place figured as the Bull’s Mouth. The time was when artists of note dcorned not to trv their 'prentice hand at the painting of sirns, and many a Royul Academician gave the public a Hon or a unicorn, a magpie or a cockatrice, the last fabulous animal, supposed to have been hatchea from a cock’s egg by a toad, being for some unknown reason quite a favorite, and reoresented as a serpent with rooster’s head. Among these painters were Charles Calton, one of -the original Royal Academiciany; Samuel Wade, who delighted in figures of Falstaff and other Shakesperrian characters; Hogarth and Richard Wilson; while the vintner's inn at Hayes, Kent, boasted a grape-border d “'St. George and the Dragon,” executed by Millais.—Agnes Carr Sage, in February Lippincott’s. —————— HUMAN NATURE . Several Phases Illustrated by an Inci- dent In an lowa Town. From Council Bluffs, Iowa, comes a storv that illustrates severali phases of human nature. In that city, the other day, 8 man who is very poor and who is likely to remain so, owing to the fact that an accident has deprived him of both his arms, found a large roll of greenbacks. The money lay in a gutter and the finder could almost hear it beg him to pick it up. This, on account of his misfortune, he could not do,so he quietly kicked the treasure into the shadow of a building and tried to think out a safe method of trans- ferring it to his lamentably empty pocket. Possibly a deduction as to Western views regarding property rights might be drawn by a cynic from the circumstance | that the man does not sesm to have thought of returning the money to its owner, through the police or otherwise, while he declared alterward that he did not ask the assistance of any one of sev- eral persons who passea by for fear lest the stranger should rescue the money for himself and not for the helpless discov- erer. At lasta small bootblack sauntered by, and the m: concluded 1o take chances. With a fine pretense of having just dropped the b.lls, the man gruffly or- dered the youngster 10 assist him., The boy comprehended the situation at a glance, seized the little fortune, took to his heels, and, easily distancing hi« angry vanished permanently from the w York Times. ———— Tranks Moved 25 Cents.

The tiree naves are painted in imita tion of carved stucco work, an-ornamenta- tion of graceful forms painted so as to ap- vear really carved. There will not be a square foot of the immense surface re- maining plain. Such ornamentation, multiplied by the succession of archivoits, produces the effect that white lace does against a dark background. The background of this tracing is of the traditional Gothic—blue, while the ornaments are of a warm stucco color. Above the sanctuary the back- ground will be in gilt instead of blue. A hovizontal molding, partly in relief and partly painted, ties all the capitals and separates the side-windows from the arch below, thus forming a series of triangles. In each one of these a ‘“‘tri- lobe'” in relief has been set to receive vortraits of saints painted on a gold pround. These were executed in Rome. There are twenty-eicht of them, and they embrace the following: St. Anue, mother of the Blessed Virgin Mary; St. Joachim, her father; St. John the Baptist; 8t.

There are biblical quotations 1 gilt let- ters on these ribbons. The window-sills are richly decorated. Under the sills is a border five feet wide in imitation of relief. In this border there are twelve Gothic forms, containing the portraits of the twelve apostles, painted on a gold ground.

The Old Board Reluses to Recogniz Its Validity and Litigation Will Follcw. The adjourned meeting of the stock- holliers of the Hale & Norcross Silver Mining Company for the election of a new board of directors was held yesterday aiternoon in room 11 of the Stock Ex- change building. It was largely attended and 88,956 shares of stock were repre- sented. Of thisamount 56,241 shares were represented by the stock itself and the balance by proxies. The total amount of steck of the com- pany is 112,000 shares. Therefore, 56,001 shares compose a majority, and more than a majority were thus voted. At the meeting held the day before there was not a majority of the stock itself rep- resented, ana the president, M. W. Fox, adjourned the meeting without day. The stockholders, bowever, refusing to abide by this decision, reconvened with G. W. Grayson in the chairand adjourned over until yesterday. In the meantime the additional stock to the amount named, comprising more than a majority, was secured, the election held and a new board was famed and chosen without contest as iollows: ‘Thomas Coley A. Herman, William Bowers, A. W. Moore. G. W. Grayson, F. S. Butler and R. R. Grayson. This board immediately convened and Thomas Cole wus electea presidentand R. R. Grayson secretary. The Bank of Califor- nia was made treasurer and Thomas Ryan was made superintendent. G. W. Grayson resigned as director in favor of A. J. MeDonell. This election is not, of course, recog- nized as valid by the old board, and tnere will be a hard legal fight over it. ————— Wealthy Alasks Minors. G.

One of the most interesting of Glasgow enterprises is what may be described as mumicipal time for the entire city. Some years ago the experiment was tried of placing municipal clocks in prominent positions all over Glaszow aud regulating them by synchronization. The present scheme is much more elaborate, and is nothing less than the establishment of a system of standard time by means of electrically controlled clocks regulated every second from the stellar clock at the observatory. A regulating clock, di- rectly controlled from the observatory, has been placed in the city chambers, and | this in turn controls three cjrcuits of pub- lic clocks at various points in the city. In the meantime, only about a dyzen clocks have been provided; but if the trial proves successful the corporation intends to erect from 200 10 300 eighteen-inch 'dials, thus providing a reliable system of standara time for all parts of the city. This exten- sion_of the circuit will involve the laying of sixty-one miles of wire.

BROKE UP IN A BIG ROW Mrs. Cohen’s Penny Pur- chasing Clubs Suddenly Suspend. ‘A Number of Angry Investors Threaten to Do Her Bodily Harm. The Meeting Adjourned by a fquad of Police Turning off All cf the Lights / There was a lively row in the Zinkand building last evening, caused by the f; ure of Mrs. Cohen’s Penny Purchasing Club. Nearly 500 irate women and a dozen men had possession of the premites, and Mrs. Cohen would no doubt have fared badly had not Sergeant James Donovan and a squad of officers arrived on the scene. The lights on the second floor were put out and the angry investors were driven to the sidewalk. Mrs. Cohen’s plan of operation was sim- ilar to that of like institutions. Drawings were held in seven clubs of 100 members each every Saturday night, and the lncky ones secured the §25 cards or tickets. All of the others paid at the rate of a penny for each number of the ticket drawn. Many were out $25 and $30. The iucky winners were given orders for goods to the value of $25. A few days ago Mrs. Cohen sent out notices to her 700 patrons who live in San Francisco, Oakiand and Alameda, notify- ing them that there was no more money in the fund, and if they would meet her last evening she would make arrange- ments to reimburse all who were out of pocket. They were all presant, and as the meet- ing progressed matters hecame decideily tropical, until it was necessary to.call the police. Muny of the most angry women wanted achance to do Mrs. Cohen bodily harm, and then it was that tbe police adjourned the meeting by turning off the lights and running the investors into the street. Mrs. Cohen did not dare to face the crowd, 80 with the aid of a special police- man she escaped into Stevenson street. The watchman took her into the base- ment and got her out on the back street by way of the sidewalk elevator. It was not until the crowd on Market street heard of her escape that it dis- persed. Belore doing so a committee of five was appointed to hire a hall when plans for future action will be discussed. The meet- ing will be held on Monday evening.

Interchangeable slats for blinds or shut- ters are fastened to the side’of the blind by a plate held by screws, so that it can be easily removed when the slat is broken. Remarkable strainers for discliarge spouts in wash-basius, etc.. rest on a flange in the pipe, ana can be pulled out when the pipe becomes clogged by means of a knob placed in the center of the plate.
