12 NEW GUNS FURNISHED POLICEMEN Wittman Makes Fresh Deal. a FOUR HUNDRED COLT'SRIFLES FTAXPAYERSWILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LUXURY. Nearly Four Thousand Dollars and the Good Winchesters Given in Exchange for Them. The sharpshooters of the police depart- nent will now have a chance to display helr marksmanship. As they signally ailed to bring down Havnes the mur- lerer of Lieutenant Burke, after having ired over 100 shots at him, Chief Lees and Japtain Wittman decided that the Win- hesters which they used were in a meas- ire responsible for the failure of their nen to riddle the deflant tinker with bul- ets. After discussing the matter the incom- )etent Chief and his blundering Captain lecided to purchase a new lot of rifles, ust to show the dear public that they oot. ent for the local representative of | he Colt's Firearm Company, and entered | nto contract with him to supply the de- ment with 400 of the latest improved | “olt's repeating rifies. Yesterday the lot | rrived at police headquarfers and were | urned over to Wittman, he of the cold eet and clamm; shake. Acompanying the rifies was a bill for | 3612. Wittman explained that the Cnusi Jompany had ind consented to take he Winchesters off his hands, allowing im $4 50 for each of the 100 rifles. He b ame so enthusiastic over the ‘‘great bai s he expressed it, that he affec- v poked the old Chief in the ribs, ausing the latter to scowl and swear. *“We are all right,” boastfully declared captain of the Central Station to the | iandful of policemen, who stood around. | ‘Isaiah and I know a thing or two when t comes to buying anything for the de- )artment. “If we only ng to the had had these guns” (point- | w rifies) “when Havnes gave | 1s battle the city would not have been put | o the ex e of trying him for the mur- ler of our brave leutenant.” | Wittman intends to get a “dummy’’ re- embling in a way the body of murderer Iaynes and have the sharpshooters en- vor to perforate at a distance of twen- y-five yard: By these means he hopes | o show the reading public that his men ire not the poor marksmen that they iave been nted to be.

Therefore the following resolution, offered by Superintendent Webster, was agreel apon for adoption at the next regular ses- sion of the board: Resolved, That the course of study for the | ar 153 be contiuned and that the Superin- | having consulted with the teachers, | mend to the proper committee from time | 0 time such suggestions ae will tend to pro- | and render uniform the standard of effi- | y of work accomplished in the depart- | e had been much talk of putflng“ Hittel's History in the course, but this was knocked out. i All the directors were present and the | meeting was very quietly conducted. —————— [ LIVELIER REGISTRATION. | Registrar Biggy Announces That He Can Receive All-Comers.

She was in the mosthorrible condition of any human being, from that most torturing of skin diseases, Eczema. She could neither 8it down or lie down, her torture was so in- tense. I tried all the docters that I could reach, but she got so that I firmly believe that she would have died within twelve hours if I had not been advised of CUTICURA REM- EDIES and got them. A travelling man on seeing her condition told me what to get, and you may believe that I lost no time in getting them. Greatly to my surprise, my ‘wife went to 'L“K in two hours after the first application, although sbe had not slepi for seven days, nor Imyself either. I followed up the treatment, and wo bozes of icura (ofntment) and one cake of Cuticura Soap did the work completely, she was absolutely cured, and is well and hearty to-day.

THE POLITICAL WEDDING, OR THE UNION OF THE POPULIST AND DEMOCRATIC PARTIES. Alford, the Schoolboy From Visalia, Is Giving Away the Bride, Miss Democracy, to Mr. Populist. Is Acting as Best Man. Hutch- “A GALLANT SURRENDER” The New War Drama at the Columbia. “TWO ORPHANS,” MOROSCO’S “EAST LYNNE” WAS NOT UP TO EXPECTATIONS. | | | “The Beggar Student” Cordially Re- | ceived by a Good House at the Tivoli—Orpheum Has a Big Bill “A Gallant Surrender,” the new war drama by Edward Kidder, was given its initial production at the Columbia last night before a large and discriminating audience. It is quite melodramatic and | wag expected to take its place with such plays as ‘“‘Shenandoah,” “Held by the| Enemy” and other patriotic dramas, but | it did not meet expectations. It may be that the radical change in sentiment af- fecting the North and South, which has occurred since the beginning of the pres- ent war, had much to do with the verdict last night, and we think it did, for there | were lines and climaxes that if given six | months ago would have been greeted with | enthusiasm which were received with in- difference. It is true the production has some palpable faults, but they can be modified by experiment and experience, as, for instance, in the third act. In- stead of a thrilling conclusion there was an anti-climax for which there was little excuse. The audience does not expect to wait a quarter of an hour for the explo- slon of a torpedo containing “twenty tons of powder” and not know that the act has been performed until they learn by word of mouth. In short, the whole effect so laboriously striven for is lost in a situation in which much was antici- | pated. In act second the drilling scene | ‘was not only forelgn to the situation, but prolonged to a wearisome degree, spoil- ing what might have otherwise passed for acceptable comedy. In this connection it may be sald that the part of Mr. Char- ters as the Confederate lleutenant is not alone impossible in its lines and action under such tragic conditlons as are sup- osed to exist, but is disagreeably over- rawn. After the use of a blue pencil the | character could be made quite amusing. | The plot is connected and comprehen- sive, but its working out does not bring about the mental condition of the specta- tor which goes to the making of a great war drama. Tne climax In the rally around the flag is the prettiest scene of all and most nearly a?proaches the de- sired standard. “A Gallant ourrender” is constructed on the regular lines, with mortal combat, love, some good comed and bright diaiorue, but the din and shoc! of battle, the delicious thrill which the spectator awalts does not come. How- ever, there Is plenty of pathos and some really humorous situations which promise | well for the play when it shall have been groperly adeuntedA The merit of the pro- uction las evenlnngu largely due to the efforts of May Buckley, who, in the character of Jess, again proved her pos- session of a high oruer of creative talent. The gart is a very emotional one, well sulted to her, and is the gem of the play. She is to be congratulated upon her con- ception of {t. Sam Edwards displayed his versatility in the portrayal of the charac- ter of the loyal and lovable old ex-slave and made a success of his part. In the guuse of a rebel corporal always hungry, but possessed of good, bubbling Irish wit and humor, Thomas Leary was thoroughly at home. Harry Mainhall made an admirable Federal officer, and Theodore Roberts will be quite acceptable when he learns his lines, Edward Bell, Alfred Hickman, Theodore Roberts and Miss Fanchon Campoell were cast in congenial parts. It is to be regretted that the same cannot be said of Miss Madeline Bouton. Her character of a young and attractive widow affords op- rtunities for effectlve acting, but she sult is superfi but satisfactor) much from this fact. There is good erial in Burrender,” and with the needed improve- ment in the way of vigorous pruuing and the infusion of more of the genuine war- time vim, which naturally belongs to it, it can_be modeled into a_ very pleasing play. It goes for this week oniy. al work that Is anything Tivoli The last week of the comic opera sea- son at the Tivoli is at hand. Last even- ing the initial production of “The Beggar Student” was heard. The singing was | superb and the plece was well cast throughout. Roma has proved a great favorite, and iast ev success as Laura, daughter of Countess Palmatica. The opera opens with a pris- on yard scene, behind whose iron gates Symon, the beggar student, and his com- panion Jan are confined. The character of the Beggar Student is well carrfed out by Phil Branson and John J. Raffael, whose abllity is well known to theater- goers In this city, assumes the role of his companion. General Ollendorf, repre- sented in the person of Edwin Stevens, commander of the fortress at Cracow,has been offended by Laura, and to_avenge himself he offers the Beggar Student, Symon, his liberty and wealth {f he will im sonate a great lord and in this dis- guise galn Laura’s hand. This he suc- ceeds In doing. His companion, who has also been liberated and acts as his secre- tary, in turn gains the love of Laura's younger sister Bronislava, which char- acter is cleverly played by Elvia Crox. The wedding bells chimed and all were happy until suddenly the festivities are interrupted by the arrival of the jailer, Enterich, played by William H. West, with a band of drunken prisoners. This uninvited horde tell the story of the Beg- gar Student's life, and amid general de- rision he is driven from the Countess’ house. Here the strongest features of the ogem develop—Laura’s grief, her magnificent singing, as happiness s wrested from her, the anger of Symon, the surprise and grief of Bronislava, whose lover is also branded an impostor, the despair of Jan and the cruel joy of General Ollendorf when he sees that he is revenged. The curtain drops on the second act with these conditions existing and rises In the third with the Beggar Student delirious with the wrongs he has had to suffer. Later, however, he and his companion succeed in wresting the citadel from the oppressors of Poland; it is proved that Symon and Jan are noblemen of rank, and reconciliation and joy relgn again. =Many interesting fea- tures are added to the plot and those who went to enjoy remained to laugh, so- the performance was a success. Grard ‘Opera_ House. The revival of “The Two Orphans” at the Grand Opera House last night was a pronounced success. Morosco's splendid stock company was strengthened by the engagement of a number of specially en- gaged actors and actresses, and in con- sequence the performance left nothing to be desired. James M. Brophy in his fa- vorite role of the Chevalier de Vaudrey was a pronounced success and received a number of curtain calls. His costumes were most elaborate and set forth his fine figure to advantae. orena Atwood and Jessie Shirley (spe- clally engaged) as the two orphans were very good, while May Nanny as Marianne, the outcast, carried off the honors among the ladies. Ynez Dean (who played the part of Bister Genevieve) gave a fine ren- dering of the drinking song from “Girofie- Girofla,” “See how it sparkles,” during the duel scene in the second act. Graeber's banjo, mandolin and guitar class of fifty ladies and gentlemen also played a num- ber of selections most acceptably. In the fourth act Miss Dean sang unod’s “Ave Maria.” The performance throughout was ve: even, the staging was good, and all in all Morosco’s has score.. another decided suc- cess with “The Two Orphans.” The Alcazar. “East Lynne,” a drama so full of pathetic lines and touching situations as to excite the emotions of even the most hardened, was a disappointment to the audience at the Alcazar Theater last evening. Lewis Morrison and the Alcazar Stock Company undertook to present the dramatic features of the plece, but so fre- uently did the members of the company ‘'orget their lines and fill the embarrass- ing gaps with home-made improvisations lorngn to the discourse of the play that the audience made no attempt to conceal its disapproval by laughing at parts where other emotions should have pre- vailed. One not famillar with ‘“‘Bast Lynne” might have supposed that it was a burlesque instead of a domestic drama. Lewls Morrison as Captain Francis Levi- son seemed to have undertaken a part not suited for his acknowledged ablYity. L does not concelve its import and the re- On a few occasions Florence Roberts. as The production suffered i “A Gallant | ing scored another | Isabel, the erring wife. portrayed art in the spirit Intended by the | thor, but even she showed that she | had not her lines well committed to mem- ory. Miss Gertrude Foster gave evidence of the most study, but one swallow does not make & summer, nor can one or two, who do fairly well, carry the whole of such a plece as “East Lynne.” Orpheum. The Orpheum has another of its great bills on this week. It would seem as if the list of good things might be exhaust- ed, but the Walter Orpheum Company keeps right on finding them and their ef- forts are rewarded by a liberal patronage. Four new acts are on this week and there is not “a weak sister,”” to use a theatri-| cal term, in the lot. The Angela sisters are a trio of pretty girls who sing and whistle solos, duets and as a trio. They scored a hit, particularly their medley of national alrs Wilton and Stack, the horizontal bar artists, demonstrated that they are artists in every sense of the word. There is a finish to their work that gives them rank among the great- est in their line. The Orpheum has in times past brought out the greatest acro- | bats in the world, and Wilton and Stack can, after their work last night, take place among the best of them. An equal- great act, though along different lines, is the act of the three Marto sisters on the tight wire. They are each very clever and any one of them would be a drawing card in her work on the wire alone, but they all three are on the wire at the same time. When one stops to consider that the slightest misstep on the part of one would throw the others out of bal-| ance, the performance by the three is remarkable. In all their work they are finished and show the training of a Euro- | pean acrobat. The climax of their act is | where two of the girls, suspended heads | downward, take each end of the wire in their mouths and then the third mounts the wire, all three playing musi- cal instruments at the time. V. H. Windom and stone quartet scored a hit. Mr. Windom has a remarkable voice. Joseph Hart and Carrie de Mar appeared in a new act, “Dr. Chauncey's Visit.” In many points this act serves to show to better advantage the talents of this ver- satlle couple than their opening act. The quick change by Miss de Mar from a de- mure maiden to the swellest coon in town is a very clever piece of character work. The act is full of funny situations which arise over a confusion of names. Gilbert and Goldle are still favorites and Val- more appeared in a few new imitations and the best of last week's work. Lorenz and Allen on the bill. The Chutes. Tony Ryan, the “mad musiclan,” as he bills himself, made a wild hit at the Chutes Theater last evening. He nlays on a Xxylophone, tosses it up In the air, catches it on the rebound and continues one of Sousa’s marches and the Inter- mezzo from ‘‘Cavalleria Rusticana’ as though nothing had occurred. The Japan- ese acrobats performed some new and marvelous feats and demonstrated conclu- sively that they are the best of the little brown men who have ever visited Amer- ica. Colby and Way, the “ventriloguist and the dancing doll,”” repeated their suc- cess of the last three weeks, and Barney Reynolds, an Eastern character comedian, made an immediate hit. Henri Maurice Cannon, the corpulent Swiss gentleman, continues to receive visitors every after- noon and evening. Olympia Music Hall. The Olympla Music Hall has Charles Reld, a famous barytone; Gibson and Al- len, comedians; Flossie Nash, a clever soubrette; Maud Rockwell, the Royce sis- ters and others on a bill that served to flll the house last night. The selections by Finster's orchestra were well celved. Rosenberg Has Cold Feet. ‘William Rosenberg, a peddler, who was arrested on the complaint of Dr. De La Matyr, Geary street, for persisting in ring- ing his doorbell although the slin “No Peddlers” was on the door, pleaded guilty in Judge Conlan's court yesterday and the Judge fined him $5. Rosenberg had in- timated his intention of testing the valid- ity of the ordinance and had demanded a ury trial, but at the last moment changed is mind. —_———— Cut in the Arm.

SHARP WORDS AT A MEETING BIGGY QUESTIONS THE POWERS OF ELECTION BOARD. City and County Attorney Harry Creswell Takes Issue With Him and Carries the Day. A conflict of authority between W. J.| Biggy, Registrar of Voters, and the mem- bers of the Board of Hlection Commis- sloners threatened for a time yesterday to mar the opening proceedings of the board. The Registrar felt that his rights were being trespassed upon when the Commissioners appointed Parker Jones as thelr clerk, ignoring the representative of the Registrar. The debate for some moments between Attorney Creswell and the Registrar was 2 heated one. Mr. Biggy volunteered the remark that he thought he was ex- officio a member of the board. To this the reply was vouchsafed that the meet- ing was not a regular session of the board. “I refuse to recognize Jones as an at- tache of my office,” said Mr. Biggy. “Under what construction of the law do you appoint him?” ‘“He {8 acting for us and we are re-| sponsible for him,” said Mr. Creswell. ‘“You have nothing to do with him. We are empowered to employ him, and we pi?’ hig salary.” he Registrar came back with the as- sertion: I have plenty of clerks and can supply a man to do the work. I will not consent to your employing another man.” ““We are not asking your consent,” was the sharp rejoinder of the City Attorney. “We have the man we want and now de- sire you to go on with our work. Here- tofore the Registrar has taken cogni zance of the man whom we select. We can employ all the men we want.” “I do not want any friction between the board and my office,” said Mr. Biggy. “We have produced no friction, but are | was the compla- | moving along quletiy,” cent reply to this, from Mr, Creswell. The members of the board were becom- ing mixed In the controversy when Mays Phelan called a halt. It was then learned that the board works independently in the selection of the election officials. It {ms no relations with the Registrar until | t is ready to report back to him the re- sult of {ts work. When it was all over {t was found that Mr. Blggy was defending his rights in the matter as he understood them. The utmost cordiality existed thereafter be- tween hin, and the board. A second controversy developed when the question was raised as to whether the names of the election officers must be on the assessment roll. City County Attorney Harry Creswell the position that it was not an indispen- sable qualification that a person be a property-owner. He quoted the section in the California constitution referring to the matter: shall ever be required vote or hold office.” The aggressive City Attorney was ready with his authorities and followed up the matter by presenting a motion to the effect: ‘‘That it is the opinion of this committee that it is not necessary that an election officer be on the assessment roll.” The matter did not come to a vote. The members of the board agreed to or any person to gard to the presence of a man’s name on the roll of property-owners. The members of the board with the ex-| | ception of City Surveyor Charles 8. Til- ton were present when the meeting was called to order. The remaining members of the board are: Mayor Phelan, City and County Attorney Creswell, Auditor Brod- erick and Tax Collector Block. Upon or- ganizing they elected Parker Jones clerk and immediately adjourned, going into executive session. A crowd of ward politicians and place- seekers thronged the office when the meeting was held. It was thought best, in view of a Harney and Sulllvan factions, that the work of the commissfoners be done in a less exposed place. They accordingly retired to the private office of Mr, Biggy, Whfire they commenced their allotted task. This consisted of the selection of 606 Democrats, who will serve first as pre- cinct registration officlals and again as officers of the election. Registration at the City Hall will close on August 9. The precinct registration will then continue for filve days. Three men are being se- lected for this work—two Democrats and one Republican. This proportion is due to the complexion of the board, the Dem- ocrats being in the majority. Lists of suitable men were presented by the representative organization of the Democratic party. In some cases the same name was on all the lists. Where there was a conflict among the lists the commissioners selected men who have served before or men of known probity of character. The Repubilcan names were not pre- sented yesterday. In this case the party presents a united front and but one list of names will be presented. This will be compiled by the Republican County Com- mittee and will be accepted in its en- tirety by the Election Commissioners. Registrar Blggr presented the annual report of his office for the year ending June 30 to the Supervisors yesterday. It told of the expenses of running the office and of the preparations now under way for the forthcoming election. The total expense was $42,404 37. DEATH OF THOMAS LARKIN. Said to Have Been the First Ameri- can Born in California. The death is recorded of Thomas O. Larkin, after whom Larkin street of this clty was named. He died on Sunday even- ing at his residence on the corner of Stockton and Pacific streets, from pneu- monia. He was 63 at the time of his death. The deceased was the son of Thomas Oliver and Rachel Larkin, to whom he was born in Monterey. His father was then American Consul and the boy was said to be the first white child of Ameri- can parents born in California. The fam- {ly afterward removed to this city, where | Thomas O. Larkin Sr. erected the first brick building still standing at 1116 Stock- ton street. he deceased took a promi- nent part in laying out the streets of San Francisco. Mr. Larkin leaves one son now at school in Washington, and a brother, Alfred, to mourn his loss. On the return of the lat- ter, now in the East, final arrangements for the disposal of the remains, which are to be embalmed, will be made. —————————— WILL SEE THE IRISH FAIR.

New Blood Infused Into an Old Charitable Organization. Several years ago D. M. Carman and other charitably disposed people created an institution, called the Boys' Training Home, which had for its object the care and support of homeless, worthy boys. Schools and reading rooms were provided and work shops established where young lads could secure knowledge and learn some of the useful trades. The venture was very gratifying and many boys were benefited, besides having a place which they could call their home. The promot- ers being called into other flelds, the es- tablishment_was allowed to run down. Last April Mr. Carman resigned, and on May 1 remaining directors met and vot- ed the institution out of existence, and | the home at 26 Laurel place was practi- | cally closed. | The good work has not been allowed to dle, for _yesterday many of tne members of the Eureka Society for the Protection of Children decided to revive the institu- tion, and they organized what will be known as the Boys’ Home. The alms and | objects of the new body will be the same | as those of the old. At yesterday’s meet- ing the following officers and directors were elected: Mrs. John Pettee, president; L. R. Goldberg, vice-president; Mrs. L. Marsh, secretary; Mrs. E. L. Wadham, treasurer; A. H. Hutchinson, resident manager. The board of directors will consist of the officers and the following mem- bers: Isaac Upham, E. L. Wadham, 8, O'Brien, Mrs. R. Clayton Brown, Mrs. Ahern and Miss Manley. A Held for Murder.
