Miserable, hungry, penniless and in | rags the four babies of Fred Dolan—Al- | fred, Irene, Hattie and Michael—the eld- est 8 and the youngest 3 years of age, were | forced :nto the street from the Brunswick House, Sixth and Howard streets, last evening by the landlord. The children, Enowing nowhere to 0, sat on the curb- stone hand in hand, where they were found by Officer Riordan, who removed them to the City Prison. The children are in a most deplorable condition. Some time ago with their par- ents they went to the Brunswick House. The rent of the rooms rema ned unpaid and the landlord became impatient at the delay. Tuesday night the mother was found wandering the streets in an intoxi- cated condiiion and was arrested. She was released from the City Prison yester- day morning, but did not return to her tiome during the day. Night came and neither parent came to bring tood for the children, and the little ones began 10 cry and bewail their fate. When it was found t at the chiliren were left alone the landlord called them together and they were led into the street. There they huddled on the curbstone until found by the officer and were re- moved to the prison. aE el Arrested for Forgery. William Keenan was arrested yesterday on complainy of H.

William Elder Stuart and Miss Carrie Henry were married last night at the residence of the biile’s parenis, 809 Van Ness avenue. The groom isa young attorney of this city and_is the only son of William A. Stusrt. He is also the secreiary of tue San Francisco Stauford Alumni Associa- tion. The marriage was the culmination of a continuous courtship begun seven years ago, when the groom was in his senior year at Loweil Higu School, ana when the bride was a little schoolgirl. Several 8:anford graduates were present at the marriage ceremony, and John ¥. Sheehan Jr., who was Stuart’s roommate at coliege and is now his business partner, was best man, Mr. and Mrs. Stuart will spend their honeymoon at Del Monte. They will re- slde in this eit; San -~ OFFICERS DISMISSED. H. A. Madden and A. J. McGrew En- Joy Themselves and Pay the Penalty. Two heads fell into the basket at the meeting of the Pol ce Commissioners last evening. H. A. Madien and A.J. Mc- Grew were dismissed from the force for neglect of duty and unofficerlike conduct. Madden rece.ved injuries, as he alleges, by being thrown from a car at Frank'in aud Market stieeis. He did not report for a week, and Lis case was reported to the Commissioners. At the meeting las t evening it was p:oved that Madden and McGrew had beea arnkingon the eveinng Madien clalms to have been injured. McGrew did not appear in his own de. fen-e, and as Madden cou.d make none, both were cismi s d. Officer John McGreevy was fined $10 for muking an unwarranted arrest.

WILL ACT ONLY UPOY COMPLAINTS. At the COheap Places of Amusement | an Entirely Different State of Affairs Exists. On June 3 last Mayor Phelan signed an ordinance passed by the Board of Super- | visors making it a misdemeanor for the manager of any theater to person to wear his or her hat during the performance and providing for the arrest and fine of such manager who permitied aviolation of tne ordinance and the sum- moning of the offending hat-wearer as a witness. The ordinance was aimed to suppress the high-hat nuisance, and thealer-goers— particularly tiose of the male six—gave a unanimous voteof thanks to the Mayor and Supervisors, Fora time the law was obeyed to the letter. Every iady upon taking her seat was given ample time to remove her con- tection of flowers and feathers, and if she failed to do o was requested by an usher 10 doff her hat or leave the theater. But recently some of the managers have ignored the ordinance, and since the italian Opera Company began its season at the California the anti-hat order has been a dead letter so far as that theater is concerned. Last Monday night mammoth bows and waving plumes bobbed and nodded in ail parts of the house, to the keen distress of | the untortunates who were seated bebind the wearers. At the performance of “L1 Boheme” it was even worse and not the slightest attempt was made to suppress the view-obstructing nuisances. There was a large audience present, and many of the ladies had the good taste to reraove their hats; but when the curtain went down on the first act there were by actual count eighty-eight women in the iower part of the house and ihe balcony who retained their headgear. Not one of them had been reauested to remove the offending plumage, and, worse still, there was not a line in the programmes dis- tributed to the pairons calling attention to the ordinance and requesting compli- ance with its provisions, Formerly the managers of the theaterin question had such a notice inserted in its programmes, but now this has been done away with, During the performance a policeman in orm strolled 1n and surveyed the hrong and then went on hisway with never an admonition tG those in charge that the law was being violated in many cases. The attention of Lou the offi was regarded it as of no importance whatever.

Up to that time he had, for many vears, been stru gling upward. He was offered George H. Sims’ “The Lights of London,” which bad gone unnoticed for a long time. He took it and made tbousands of dollar< out of it and scored a big success as Harold Armatage, appearing®in that role for nearly 300 nights in succession. Then be took tne part of Jack Hearn, the gvpsy lover, in “Romany Rye” and made another big hit.
