PREPARING FOR “MALEDICTION" Grand Entertainment to Be Given by the Gentle- men’s Sodality. In the Present Greek Crisis, the Plot Is of Specal Interest. On April 28 the Varied Programme Will B: Given at the College Hall The Gentlemen's Sodality attached to St. Ignatius Church, whose membership counts up near the thousand, composed of many graduates of the Jesuit colleges of St. Ignatius and Santa Clara, as well as gentlemen from every part of the City, in- tend giving their annual celebration, con- sisiing of a grand dramatic and high-class musical entertainment, at the large col- lege hall, Van Ness avenue, on Wednes- day evening, April 28, and it is safe to say, from the elaborate preparations by the members of the dramatic and philhar- monic society zttached to the sodality, that it will surpass anything produced by them previously. The drama chosen for the occasion, entitled *“The Malediction,” has three acts and is a translation from the French by Joseph A. Lyons, A.M., and is adapted for male characters only. It will bs in- teresting at the present juncture, when the Greeks are upholding Christianity against Mohammedanism, that the plot of the play to be produced is laid in Spain, during the Mobammedan war. DonAlonzo, son of Don Vasco de Gomez, a princely nobleman, is persuaded by ambition and the evil counsel of his confiiant, Don Lopez, to abandon his father, his country and God. He becomes a prince among the Mohammedans, and in the prog- ress of the war his father and all his so!diers fall into the hands of Tarik, the Mohammedan leader. Tarik commands Don Alonzo to wisit his father and en- deavor to win him to the faith of the his fa ther shall die. Alonzo obeys; his father with righteous indignation repels him and pronounces upon him a terrible maledic- ti Leneath which he withers and loses his reason. Don Vasco and his vassals escape from the Turks and return to the Christian camp, where they find Don Alonzo, who, under his father’s care, returns to reason and 1s afterward killed in battie with the Mohammedans. Pedrillo, the peasant, is a man of many words, but few actions. ‘The play abounds in thrilling incidents. The situations are natural, and in all re- spects it is admitted by critics to be an excellent and highly metitorions drama. The costumes are rich and the stage ac- cessories will be in perfect accord with the history of the times. The following gentlemen are assigned to the different part: Don Vasco de Gomes, a Spanish Nobleman Don Ailonzo, n Don vopez. iriend of Alonzo. Tarlk, Lieaienant to the Cal | Pedro | Abdaliah, Fabricio. Pedrilllo, Tbrahim, & rich Mohamme Juanino, Slave of Tbrahim Miendozi, & Spanish Ufficer.

Jones, R. Hay, G. V. Wood aud George Connolly— will assist. The tickets are 50 cents each, and front seats can be reserved at Sherman & Clav’s music-store, Kearny street, on tne 26th and 27th of April, from 9 A. . to 5 P. M, by paying 9 cents exira.

Now that Braunhart’s bill for a million- dollar appropriation in order to extend the seawall has been vetoed by the Gov- ernor on the ground that it would require advertising amounting to over $100,000, | and that this sum would have to come out of the general fund of the State instead of the harbor improvement fund, the question has arisen: How is the seawall 10 be extended, or are affairs to remain in statu quo? Speaking ou the subject yes- terday the secretary ot the Harbor Com- mission said: he Governor has seen fit to veto the bill, sud that practically ends it. The seawall will in future necessarily be ex- tended very slowly. “If 1t were not for the depot sinking fond, which takes $55,000 annually out of the appropriation, the commission would be enabled to build about 1000 feet of sea- wall every three years. But with that much of the appropriation taken out ana the interest it isa hard matter, consider- ing other things, to do much improve- ment, By other things, I mean repairing the wall. The teredo is constantly working bavoc with the piles and the sum that it takes for rapair- is very large. It will be a long time vefore the seawall is extended any great distance.” = TR | Park Music To-Day.

Was Studying Art in Paris, but| Her Hea'th Being Bad She Went to London. Something About the Scemes of Du Maurier’s Writinzs and Eminent Amcricans Now Abroad. Miss Thalia Treadwell, the heiress and daughter of the late James P. Treadwell, | an attorney of this City, has returned | here after two years’ absence in Europe. | Miss Treadwell bas been pursuing art studies in Paris for some time, but finally discontinued studying because her health was not good in Paris. Thereafter she visited Berlin, London and leading capitals of Kurope. Miss Treadwell is very glad to be back. She has been at San Jose visiting friends for some days, and is now Lere to remain for | some time. When sne goes to Europe | again, as she says, she will go by way of Japan and India. Miss Treadwell devoted herself to paint- ing while in Paris and was often at the Louvre, where she met many American artists. She also saw the many distin- guished persons of genius who used to be | the associates of Du Maurier at the time be was writing “Trilby."” The lady referred to the sudden demise of Miss Isabel Murphy, and adverted to | the Princess Colonna, now resident in Italy. | to the dock of the criminal courts and 10 be present., e — CRIMINALS SENTENCED. | Judge Dunne Meted Out Condign Pun.4 Ishment to Convicted Felons. | Judge F. H. Dunne held an imerestingi | speakers, and the pubilc is cordially invited l session in Department 11 ¢f tbe Superior Court yesterdsy morning. His Honor had before him the usual number-of convicted felons waiting to receive the judical de- cree touching the punishment to which they were entitled. Lee Ah Louie was the star attraction in this ageregation of hard characters. He | was Lried on a charge of murder, but the | jury histened to the able argument of his | attorney, J. E. Richards, and let him off | w.th a verdict of mansiaughter. He was | sentenced 1o serve ter years at hard labor in the State prison at San Quentin. Lon Yek, Lee Kong and Lee Sang, a trio | of highbinders convicted of robbery, were | consigned to the Folsom State prison for ten vears each. William Hoean, who committed grand Iarceny, was sentenced 1o stripes in San Quentin for seven years, and Louis Seis escaped with a term of eighteen months at San Quentin because he pleaded guilty to the cuarge of forgery instead of putting the State to the trouble and expense of a | trial. 1 Itis getting to be the custom when a | criminal knows thai he has a strong case against him to plead guilty and throw himself on the mercy of the court. By this means the term of imprisonment may be apvreciably diminished. Judge Dunne’s dock was full of other criminals who were produced! in court for arraignment, for pleading or for other preliminary procee lings. As usual, the majority of these wicked ones were young men, and some of them were boys, with the down of adolescence on their chins and with the bloom of | childhood scarcelv brushed from their | rosy chesks by the erosive influences of | want and crime. Many charitable organizations in this | City are at work in different departments of Christian endeavor, but the crop of boy criminais never fails, and very little seems to be attempted for foreguarding the boys of the City against the tempta- tions that, if not avoided, inevitably lead | finally to peuitentiary felons’ cell. MR. GARRETT'S CI;OTHES. His Wardrobe Was in the Height of Fashion, but It Causes Legal Difficulties. About nine months ago Milton D. Gar- rett of W. D. Garrett & Co. concluded that his wardrobe needed replenishing and he decided to do the job thoroughly while he was about it. He got his new outfit all right, but he forgot or neglected to pay tha taiior, and now he isin legal difficulties with the J. H. Curley Merchant Tailoring Company. A dress suit was a necessity, of course, and he contracted to pay $85 for that. Tuxedo coats were in fashion at the time and s $50 garment was added to the list. Mr. Garrett was of the opinion that no gentleman should be without three busi- ness suits, so he ordered three sack suits at $50 per suit. Cleaning and_repairing added $250 to the bill, and Mr. Curley claims that $287 50 was owing.
