TRz nf azar, and new acts at Olympia and Chutes. Thzicolumbia. The Columbia Theater management and the Frawley company have reason to congratulate theniselves upon the suc- cess of the laughable comedy, *“Lost— Twenty-four Hours.” It has not “only produced an overflowing measure of laughter, but has made substantial re- turns that account for the genial smiles that play over the features of the treas- urer these days. However, this produc- tion will hold the boards for this week only and will be followed on Monday n t next by the Empire Theater suc- cess, “Liberty Hall,” from the pen of .R. C. Carton. It is a clever comedy that had a run of a hundred nights at the above named theater in New York. The story follows: Sir N the Orpheum, Chilworth has died, leav- ughters, Blanche and Amy, penniless, the estate passing to a cousin whom the girls have never seen, and who is understood to be travellng abroad. , &s the dispossessed voung la- are on the point of going out Into world, a letter is brought to them . the new baronet by a Mr. Owen, begging them to stay at the old place un- til the writer's return. The terms of the the from tk ‘u‘mmv.m; ation are not unkindly, but the *hi] are proud, and since old Mr, o had “had the presumption’ S & Very young man to marry a connec- AT CoLumMBp A FLEVURET TE AT TH tion of the family, offers them a home, the girls resolve to accept the hospitality of the “Bloomsbury” abode rather than live upon the bounty of a stranger. In the second act all the parties con- cerned are transferred forthwith to old Mr. Todman's bac.. parlor, scene of the last three acts. The mysterious Mr. Owen is none other than the new baro- net himself, who has come over in dis- fulsrz to see how matters stand. He falls n love with the high-spirited Blanche and resolves, like the Lord of Burleigh, to win her without the aid of wealth or station. To this end he also takes up his quarters under the bookseller's roof as a simple employe. By so doing the young squire handicaps himself heavily l’n his endeavors to win the affections of hi; haughty cousin, but his manliness an devotion prevail, and the progress of the contest Is followed with Interest and sympathy. Mr. Owen will be played by Edward Bell, while the haughty Blanche will > intrusted to Madeleine Bouton, who, no doubt, will give a very intelligent and attractive portrayal of the role. he sister, Amy, and her lover, the Hon. Gerald Harringay, will be ~resented by Fanchon Campbell and T. Daniel Frawley, respectivel will doubtless be made quite an attractive and clear cut character portrayal by Theodore Roberts. The malid of all work, Crafer, whose every effort is to make life unpleasant for those around her, will be interpreted by . Eleanor Carey. Other roles will be -layed by John T. Burke, Robert ‘G. Wilson, Louis Payne, Maude Winter, Clarence Livingston, David Con- ger and Edward G. Conway. The play calls for and will be accorded a particu- larly attractive stage setting, showing the second-hand book store of old Tod- man in Bloomsbury. ~The Tivoli.

Elvia Crox will be the tender Germalne; John J. Phil Branson the boastful. ‘West the pompous old baillie; Fred Xavanagh the merrg little notary, and Edwin Stevens will be seen in one of his greatest suc- cesses, Gaspard, the miser. This role is one the best of his many characterizations. Before the opening of the grand opera season—about the middle of August—several other revivals will be made, among them ‘“Amorita,” “The Golden Hen” and ‘“The Beggar Student.” Great preparations are being made for the fnauguration of the grnmf opera sea- son, when many eminent artists recently engaged in the East will appear in com- plete productions of several new and many favorite works of celebrated com- posers, Morosco's. ““The Romany Rye,” with James Brophy in the leading role, has drawn large audi- ences during the past week, but it will be withdrawn after to-night’s performance. On Monday night will be given the first presentation at popular prices of F. Mil- ton Royle’'s comedy war drama, ‘“‘Captain Impudence,” which received a cordial in- dorsement during its former. presentation at the California Theater. The play deals with a very pretty love story, embracing many comic details. the scene of action being in Mexico during the time that Uncle Sam was Invading the “land of Manana.” The advance of an attacking force of Mexicans and the subsequent storming of Chapultepec by the American forces constitute the most stirring scenes of the play. The action begins just before the ba: tle of Buena Vista. a Mexican girl, is held prisoner on parole in the American camp. She has fallen in love with Captain Shields of the Ameri- can army, who she thinks is In love with her, but, who really loves Lucretia 4 > AT A\ AN Wee B ® o N\ S0 \i “o, ¢ | | | = ORPHEUM. regiment. A number of complications cause Jovita to discover that the captain does not love her, and also lead her to belleve that he has spoken lightly of her to his fellow soldiers. Jealousy, assisted by a Mexican named Major Genara Men- doza, prompts her to seek revenge. Shu is discovered in an auemfit to play the spy, but Shields permits her to escape. e is about to be court martialed when she returns and makes amends for her wrong doing, bringing the play to u happy ending. Comedy s more in evidence than seri- ousness throughout the play, and there are many amusing scenes. The produc- tion will be made under the direction of the author. The Alcazar. It is with appropriate pride that the Alcazar management call attention to the fact that the reproduction of “Faust” has not only filled the house nightly, but has made it necessary to turn people away. In these times of dullness this is some- thing phenomenal and goes to show ths high appreciation in which the present r‘ompnni; is held. ‘‘Faust,” where pre- sented J incapable players, is a fear- fully and wonderfully bad thing to wit- ness, but the play as adapted and mod- ernized by Lewis Morrison is a work of art, deeply impressive and highly enter- taining. is conception of the charac- ter of Satan runs the gamut of human emotions and while an engrossing object lesson is at the same time sufficlently amusing. The character of Marguerite as delineated by Miss Florence Roberts is conceded to be among the best. The picture she gives of the young and in- nocent maiden, whose heauty is her ruin, is_one long to be remembered by thoss whose fortune it is to see it. Othér mem- bers of ‘the company are'dolng justice to their respective rales, and with per- fection in settings, mechanism and elec- trical effects, ‘‘Faust” is belng moss handsomely presented.

It is the determination of the management that nothing coarsely sensational or in the line of mediocre shall be seen or heard at the Alhambra. To Dr. Kannet is due the credit of be- ing the first vaudeville manager to make a contract with the charming Corinne. The salary he agrees to pay the great favorite is said to be the largest ever given a single artist—$1250 per week being the cool figure at _which she values her appearance for about fifteen minutes every evening. The six famous Les Ar- bras, European marvels, that are aston- ishing all Europe at present with their wonderful equilibristic feats, are coming our way, direct from Chinizelli's Impe- rial Circus of St. Petersburg, Russia, and at an enormous figure, transportation alone amounting to more than $2000. Work on the Alhambra Theater is now progressing rapidly. New 1ceas and sus- gestions are being carried out every day regardless of labor or expense, as it is the declared determination of the board of directors to make this playhouse not only more beautiful and comfortable than any in San Francisco, but the safest. The ventilation will be the best, owing to the fact that the edlifice stands by it- self on a corner of the street, and has all modern mechanical devices for keeping the place full of pure air. In the way of protection to human life, no theater in the West is its counterpart, | there being on tne ground floor alone ten exits opening into the street, besides two | exits direct from the balcony to the | street. The house will accommodate more than 2300 people, and can be emptied in less than two minutes. | The management is paying particular attention to new and varied electrical ef- fects, to which the Moorish architectur: oI the edifice lends itself most gracefully. The newest in European and American theatrical improvements is being adopted. as shown by the pleasing arrangement of the so-called “Belle Etage’” boxes situ- ated on the first row of the balcony. While these boxes command the best view of the stage and house, three and four of them can be thrown together for | the convenience of parties—a most wel- | come novelty to theatergoers. People and Plays. Henry Miller will have four plays for production during his coming engagement at the Baldwin.

The study of finger prints is so fas- cinating a pastime and is in addition so inexpensive that it is surprising that it has not been more extensively carried on. It is not so long ago that the collection of autographs was such a popular craze that one or more auto- graph albums were to be found in ev- ery household. Although some individ- uals profess to be able to read a man’s character by examining his signature, yet the autograph is a product of edu- cation and training, and an artificial style may be cultivated, while a finger print is an autograph which is pos- sessed at birth and remains unaltered throughout life—it is the signature of | the man himself, stripped of all the re- | sults of education and training, and | which cannot be artificially altered. It | is not improbable that during the com- | ing century albums of finger prints will | become as fashionable as were auto- i graph albums a couple of decades ago. There are many methods of obtaining prints. The one used by ‘“Pudd’nhead | Wilson” in Mr. Twain's story was to | take the print on glass by pressing ghe | finger (just slightly olled, as by passing | through the hair) on a clean strip of | glass. This method gives a very satls- did Mr. Wilson, one studies only the thumb prints. But the prints from the fingers are equally interesting and equally worthy of study. Sir W. Her- schel’'s collection of Indian prints con- sisted of the prints of the index and middle fingers only of each individual. The chief objection to the method of printing on glass lles in the fact that the impressions are easily destroyed and the glass plates are heavy and | bulky and liable to breakage. | Very satisfactory prints can be se- cured by pressing the fingers on an or- | dinary ink pad, such as is found in every office for the inking of rubber stamps, and then pressing them on a card or sheet of paper. The best prints, however, can be secured by using a good grade of thin printer’s ink spread very thinly on a slab of planished cop- per or plate glass. On this the fingers are rolled on a stiff, smooth surfaced card; the rolling is necessary in order | to print from the entire palmar sur- | face of the finger. A London firm has even put up a special ink in collapsible tubes, labeled “Finger Print Ink,” and designed especially for this use; so it | would seem that our English cousins are anticipating us in the collection of these interesting autographs. Any one commencing the study of | finger prints Is first impressed by the great variety of the patterns formedby the ridges. It soon becomes clear that | these various patterns may be grouped | into three principal classes, and such classification is a necessity for pur- poses of study or cataloguing. The simplest patterns are those in which the ridges run continuously from side to side, sending off branches which run parallel to the original ridges and fill up the space within the arch on the bulb of the finger. These patterns are known as arches (see figure 3), and are not uncommon, though more common in monkeys than in men. The arch pat- tern is much more common on the in- dex finger than on any other digit, though there is no apparent reason for this—it is simply a fact deduced from the examination of a large number of ever, relatively infrequent, and in the uals it will occur on an average only about 6% times, while 3 2-56 of these occurrences will be on the index fin- gers, 1 2-5 on the middle fingers, and the remainder about equally distrib- uted between the thumb, ring and little fingers. The second great class of patterns are the loops. In these cases one ridge runs nearly straight across the fingers, while a ridge only a few ridges above it at the sides of the finger arches toward the finger tip, thus leaving a space in the center which is filled by a system of ridges starting from side and returning to the same side, the most common by far L In the 100 fingers of all the patterns. | factory impression, especially where, as | finger prints. The arch pattern is, how- | 100 fingers and thumbs of ten lndlvld-} thereby forming loops, as in figure 4./ of ten individuals the loop will oc- cur not far from sixty-seven times, and of these about eighteen will be on the little finger, fifteen will be on the mid- dle finger, and the rest will be about evenly divided between the thumb, in- dex and ring fingers. The third characteristic group of pat- teris are the whorls. In these cases the space left by the separation of two ridaes which were adjacent at the sides of the finger is filled by ridges coming from one or both sides of the finger and coiling around in circles or spirals to fill the vacant space. The ridges may run in spirals or the space may be filled by circular ridges which do not origin- ate on either side of the finger. Figure 5 gives an example of the first class of whorls, and figure 6 of the second. Whorls ares more common than arches, but less common than loops. In the 100 digits of our ten persons about twenty-seven will have whorled pat- terns. One great difficulty in the classifica- tion of finger prints lies in the fact that there are many patterns which are transitional. Arches lean to one side until it is impossible to say whether they are really arches or loops. There are also complex patterns formed by two loops, one coming from each side, as in figure 7. The “A. L. W.” classiffeation is, how- ever, the best that has been thus far proposed. Inasmuch as each individ- ual is possessed of a well defined set of finger prints at birth which he must carry throughout his life, it would | seem probable that some relation could i be traced between the patterns on the | fingers of parents and child. The ma- | terial which is available at the present | time is much too limited to warrant | definite conclusions, but from such in- vestigations as have been made it ap- pears that when a certain patiern oc- | curs on corresponding fingers «f both | parents it has a decided tendency tu reappear i the correspording finger of their «fspring. An interesting question arising in the | study of finger prints is the effect of | race en tne varying patterns. It might | be sunposed that the degree of develop- | mentgas evidenced by tha crvilizati | 0Z the various races, would niater | affect the complexity of the o-ganiza- | tien of individuals. The finger prints | ¢f & man are more compi>x than those o? a monkey, so that w2 might expect 1o find the {inger prints of a citizen of | Greater New York more complex than | those of an Australian hushman A thorough investigation of this | question has yet to be made, but the re- | searches of Sir Francis Galton show an | inappreciable difference between the | prints of Englishmen, Welshmen, Bas- | ques, negroes and Hebrews, with one | exception. The exception is the Hebrew | race; their finger patterns show a larg- | er percentage of whorls than the pat- | terns of any other race. Loops were | slightly more frequent in the Hebrew prints, while arches were rare. As the whorl is obviously a more complex pattern than the arch or loop, the question is suggested whether the | greater complexity of the patterns of | Hebrew fingers has anything to do | with their well known mental charac- | teristics. They are known to be an ex- | ceedingly subtle and shrewd people, | and it seems plausible to suppose that, as the arrangement of the ridges on the ‘skln of their fingers is more complex | than in other races, so the arrangement | of the convolutions of their brain is | lkewise more complex than is the case | among gentiles. It is certain that the brain of the monkey is simpler in the arrangement | of its convolutions than the brain of a man, and it is also certain that the simian finger print is much less com- plex in pattern than the human finger print, so that it seems probable that the two organs sie in some way related. It will, however, require a vastly more extended series of observations than | has yet been made before this relatien, if it exists, can be demonstrated. Investigations are now being carried on to determine what relations the complexity of the finger patterns bears to the other signs of degeneration as observed in the insane, but it will re- | quire a very long time and the exami- nation of many thousand prints before any definite conclusions can be drawn. One of the greatest obstacles to be overcome is the lack of large collec- tions of the finger prints of normal individuals with which the finger prints of abnormal individuals may be com- pared. Such collections are well under way in England, and it is to be hoped that some enthusiast will take up the | subject in this country. The utility of such investigations is far more obvious than was the utility of Faraday's discoveries to which we owe our arc lights. i | AMUSEMENTS.
