A resolution was passed re- gretting that the Republican convention | did not insert an anti-civil service clause in its platform. _ Short speeches were made by Messrs. Mueller, Moore, Ramsey and other members of the league, pre- dicting the suceess of the principles of the anti-c{vil service movement. Several vet- erans of the Clvil War and members of the league complained that they had been removed without cause under the Demo- atic administration on account of being Republicans, but_because of the magnani- mous ruling of President McKinley they could not_be reinstated, and they bitterly denounced the entire cfvil service system olitical humbug, a fraud, a delusion and entirely un-American.

Loud is said to have the inside track for the nomination. State Senator Ed I. Wolfe has not given up, however, and hopes to secure the coveted political ‘plum. Ex-Judge D. J.

DALTON'S COURSE CLEAR WILL NOT RISK ANYTHING TO GET A NOMINATION. A Desire for Purity at the Primary Receives the Approval of the County Com- mittee. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 5. Although this is a legal holiday the county primaries are too close at hand to admit of a cessation from labor on the part of the politiclans. All the county and city offices being closed, gave the incumbents and candidates an opportu- nity to lay down thelr pens and “‘do poli- tics.” “Doing” politics in Oakland is a com- binatfon of “jollying” people along, writ- ing communications for publication, play- ing nickel-in-the-slot machines with the crowd and tacking faces on electric light poles and country fences. These were the pastimes in which the candidates in- dulged to-day, and along these lines much politics was Outside of a few offices the various struggles for places on the county ticket are narrowing down fast. There is little doubt that Assessor Dal- ton will be given a place on the Repub- lican ticket, although it is not yet quite clear how such a result will be achieved. Mr. Dalton is not positive that he can secure the delegation from his own ward, although he is very confident as to his standing before the county at large. There is one danger which he Is studying carefully to avoid. Should he recelve the support of his ward and his name be submitted to the convention, it is just possible that a scheme might be hatched to prevent his nomination, and this would of course prevent him from runnaing as an independent candidate afterward. There are those who would like to see scheme prevail, and it is this such a knowledge that has kegt the Assessor s0 long hesitating as to the course he will pursue. Although four months must elapse be- fore Oakland will nominate her mnext Mayor, and although a county and State campaign must intervene, these circum- stances do not prevent the ambitious from already laying their wires. It is hinted that Councilman H. D. Rowe of East Oakland would like to head the next municipal Republican ticket, and one of the inspired_has made the state- ment that Justice Fred Wood has sug- gested to himself that to be successor to Mayor Thomas would be rather pleas- ant. Auditor Snow is already forecasted as usual, and as usual will probably be able to get anything he wants. The many suggestive Incidents having some connection with the water com- panies seem to indicate that the old-time truggle is by no means dead. Three times during the present municipal ad- ministration the apparent control of the powers that be has switched around, with every indication that the safls are even now being trimmed to catch a new breeze, the approach of which has evidently been forecasted. Political Oakland cannot but be amused at the suggestion that a desire for purity at the primaries should come from the Fourth Ward. At some recent primaries Mayor Thomas stated that he saw one person vote three times in five minutes in the Fourth Ward, and one of the officers of election admitted confidentially that one man had voted twice, and conse- quently it is interesting to know that where such practices were tolerated a few weeks ago reform is now sought. At the suggestion of District Attorney Snook the county committee has agreed to have ers, named by the various fac- tions, to look out for their interests at the primaries. ‘This suggestion is more strange in that the only factions to com- pete at the polls in the Fourth Ward are those represented by Mr. Snook and Mr. Church, who have for ten years done very successful politics together. When Mr. Snook made the suggestion Committee- man Church inquired if he made it as representing the District Attorney’s of- fice, to which Snook replied that he mere- ly did it as a citizen. This brought from Church the reply that he merely asked Mr. Snook the question “as a citizen.” Evigently warm times are developing in the fighting Fourth. Laguna Democratic Club. A well-attended meeting of the Laguna Democratic Club was held last night in Swiss Hall, on the corner of Fell and Franklin streets. Arrangements were made for taking part in a general meetin, of the Democrats of the Thirty-sevent] Bt’arlct next Monday night in Mowry's IR R R R R R R PR R R PP PR SRR WILL SHE PROVE A PROPHETESS ? Mary Linck of the Tivoli Company Takes a Firm Stand for English Opera. Time will tell if Mary Linck, the talented contralto of the Tivoll Grand Opera Company, is a prophetess or not. Miss Linck maintains that English is surely and quickly superseding Italian in grand cpera, and goes further in declaring that the time 1s not far distant when only Eng- lish singing artists will tread the American operatic stage. Miss Linck is the first artiste to make a decided stand for her na- tive tongue. Although, like all other singers, her greatest desire is to appear at the Metropolitan in New York, still she has refused many splendid and tempting of- fers because the contract for such engagements demands that the artiste sing her role In Italian. Many other prominent artists, Miss Linck declares, are in sym- pathy with the English move- ment and, like her, affirm that opera in Itallan is an exploded idea; prominent among the ar- tists is Mme. Melba, who stands ready to give grand opera In Fng- lish when the time and the peo- ple shall so demand. Miss Linck has had a wide Eu- ropean experience and speaks with the authority of one who has traveled a great deal, seen much and carefully observed all. “In France they sing altogether in French,” said the talented, stanch American girl, “in Aus- tria and all the German States in German; in Russia, in French, the court language, and also in Russian, and in England in Engl Only In America they do not appreciate the beauty of their own tongue and accept their music in a foreign language. and has played is “America FEVHISTT IR EUE SUTU U U T E OGRS S S L T T S T e eeeEe A e + "k MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE" Henry Miller Presents a Delightful Comedy. “THE FIRST BORN” REVIVED “LOST—24 HOURS” . COLUMBIA. AT THE “Shall We Forgive Her” a Success at Moroscos—Alhambra, Comedy and Orpheum Playing to “Good Houses. “A Marriage of Convenlence,” a four- act “comedy of manners,” was presented at the Baldwin last night by Henry Miller and the Frohman company to a very falr house. It is one of those subdued, smooth-running plays which pleases without exciting and accomplishes the ob- ject of the players without the necessity of hysterical applause. In fact, the audi- ence seems to enter into the manner and method of these mimics of the people of another age and appear to be concerned lest they become too demonstrative in their appreciation of the art of the au- thor and actor. The scenes of “A Marriage of Conveni- ence” are laid in Paris in the time of Louis XV among the most polite and courtly people of any age, and we are shown Mr. Miller in the guise of a hus- band (Comte de Candale) who neither loves nor knows his wife and whose ideas of the proprieties are in harmony with that peculiar epoch. A persistent suitor of the Comtesse and a fiery old uncle of the Comte from the provinces asgist in complicating matters to a point where a separation is agreed upon three days after the wedding, and the husband then discovers that he is in love with his wife and possesses her affection, after which he fights a duel and happiness comes into the castle. The part assumed by Mr. Miller is per- fectly suited to himy and his Dortraf'al thereof is something the lovers of hih comedy can thoroughly appreciate. S the careless, courtly gentleman of many amours he is all that could be desired. Miss Mabel Bert as the Comtesse plays a lrylng art in a most delightful man- ner, an iss Margaret Dale pres¢nts the ideal French handmaid. Charles R. Welles as the Chevaller, hopelessly in love with the Comtesse, has a part well suited to his abilities, while Arthur EI- liott as the choleric uncle, who finally brings about a happy solution of the mar- riage puzzle, offers an able, character- istic and highly éntertaining study. The gowning of the Comtesse, the cos- tumes of the gentlemen and the stage settings were magnificent, everything combining to make a finished and charm- 1nflpmductlon. onday night next will see the return to the Baldwin Theater of Modjeska in a revival of the successes which have charmed the public and placed her name at the head of the list of English-speak- ing actresses. She will also present to us during her engagement a most elab- orate and characteristic production of Shakespeare's ‘“‘Antony and Cleopatra,” which has been in preparation for a long time, and owing to its magnitude will not be ready until her second week. Her repertoire for the first week is as fol- Monday and Thursday, ‘“Mary Stu- Tuesda; ‘Magda'’; Wednesday and Saturday nights “Macbeth”; Friday, “‘Ca- mille,” and at the Saturday matinee “As You Like It.” Among the many prominent members of her supporting company are Charles D. Herman, Lester Lonergan, John A. Lane, Mark Fenton, Wadsworth Harris, Anna Proctor, Mrs. H. E. Sergant and others. The Alcazar. The spell of the mascot—the little child’s shoe that hangs on the dusty wall of the Alcazar Theater—has agaln cast its in- fluence over “The First Born,” which was presented last evening after an absence of many months. Francls Powers' Chi- nese play s well known in this city, having been produced here one hundred times, and comment upon the plece is un- necessary. It is one of those quaint ltttle tragedies that the people never seem to grow tired of, and the theater was filled to the doors last evening. It was preceded by Nat C. Goodwin’'s farce “Turned Up,” which, true to its name, places the char- acters in the most amusing situations and keeps the audience in a roar of laugh- ter all of the time. There were over a dozen pcu]fle “‘Turned Up,” and each con- tributed his or her share of fun. But it was “The First Born” that the feople went to see, and the manifesta- fon of appreclation showed that it has lust nothing by a change in some of the artists, The character of Loaey Tsing, the slave girl, was taken by Miss Gert- rude Tidball, who carries her lines in the same vein as May Buckley, her predeces- sor in that paft.” The character of Chan Wan, the deserted husband and father of little Chan_Toy, the first born, was as- sumed by Ernest Hastings, who entered as much Into the spirit of the piece as the author, Powers. During the first act Hastings introduced a small feature not in the play by cutting his wrist with his” highbinder knife while c: ing his murdered boy from the house of his mor- tal enemy, Man Low Yek. The injury was not serious. For a short part, that of Cho Pow, the nurse (Miss Marie Howe), was well rendered. George Os- borne, as Dr. Pow Len, the Chinese phy- sician, partrax'ed all that is In the char- acter. All of the other artists showed care and study in their lines. One of the most striking features of the piece ig the music, produce bE Lee Johnson, which, while not strictl, ‘hinese, is a fair pres- entation of the Oriental conception of the melodious. It is believed that ‘“The First Born" will continue to draw well, At the Columbia. The closing week of the Frawley Com- pany’s engagement at the Columbia The- ater commenced last night with a revi- val of the popular comedy “Lost—24 Hours.” The audlence was not so large as it ousht to have been, and was besides cold and unsympathetic. ing these drawbacks the company gave an artistic performance. BEdward M. Bell and Louls Payne as the Swift brothers were particularly good. Sam Edwards made his reappearance after his illness, and was cordially recelved. Miss Lucille La Verne also made her bow for the first time as a regular member of the company, and played the part of the sporty . Dacre admirably. The Orpheum. Several scores of people who came late were obliged to go away from the doors of the Orpheum last night, for all the available seats In the house were filled shortly after the rise of the curtain. There ds a splendid bill this week, the favorites of last week and the new members mak- ing a strong and harmonious combination. Signor Abramoff and the Pasqualls were called before the curtain flzm times for their excellent singing of the prison scene from “Faust.” arles Baron kept the 8] utnr%bubbllnr with merriment with h‘: ll%n rdon gS. egn:n.ey"fiunn and Henri- etta By W D a8 ever and Charles T. Aldrich was as unique and as -ldo-fiumn. as he was last week. Irene Franklin, petite soubrette, has a pleasing voice a quiet, graceful manner. Felix Morris, with his charming comedy, “A Game of Cards,” made a hit with one of the best bits of charaster acting seen In this city for mufir a . Favor and Sin- clair, in “The Maguires,” were irresist- ibly funny and are at the top of their class. The seven Tow-Zoo-In Arabs gave some clever acrobatic feats, and the American blograph delighted the specta. tors as the wind-up of an evening of first- class entertainment. Moroseco’s. “Shall We Forgive Her?’ {s the best thing the Grand Opera-house has given its patrons in months. It was well staged and particularly well played. Every one of the characters was fittingly portrayed, and toward the end Miss Grace Ad; did so well that she was hissed off the stage for her clever acting of the part of Joanna. As Nellle West, Miss %.Jman Elllot was very entertaining, while Leslie P&omlcc as M&e ‘Walton made a capita] over, In fact, the whole cast is good, and Notwithstand- | “Shall We Forgive Her?” should crowd the Grand Opera-house nightly. There will be a special holiday matinee {)erformnnce of this play on Friday next (Admission day). The Tivoli. Verdl’'s immortal ‘Rigoletto” opened the sixth week of the grand opera sea- son at the Tivoli last night before a large and enthusiastic audience. Sig. Maurice de Vries in the title role was certainly the drawing card. Mr. de Vries' Rigoletto has a world-wide repu- tation, and he is considered ome of the best living translators of this difficult part. His veice and artistic abilities are admirably suited to give a character- study of this kind, and he must have felt proud when he perceived how much his art was appreciated by the audience. Miss Lichter was charming, as usual, and she was received very cordially. Mag- dalena was sung by Miss Mary Linck with great fervor, and her conception of this part was extremely pleasing. Her contralto has a very pathetic ring, and she can rise in some scenes to absolute greatness. Miss Merrill sang the small part of Gi- ovanna with good success. She is a na- tive of this city, and it seems that she will have a bright future before her as an opera singer. S8ig. Wanrell's Sparafucile was sung very creditably, and received due appre. ciation. It is regrettable, however, that even the polyglots cannot understand him in his artficulation of the Italian lan~ guage. Mr. Rhys Thomas, as the Duke of antua, sang with his usual effort to please and succeeded very well. It was his best performance in grand opera thus far. To-night “Lucretia Borgia” will be giv- en, with Miss Marie Brandis in the title role, and Mr. Willlam Pruette as the Duke of Ferrara. Gennaro lies in the hands of Sig. Zerni. Comedy Theater. “The Leading Man,” as presented by the Pacheco Ideal Comic Opera Company, at | the Comedy Theater, is a very enjoyable affair. It is much improved from the first night’s production, and is receiving its share of patronage. Matinees Wednes- day and Saturday. The Alhambra. The bill at the Alhambra appears to have caught the public fancy. There were crowded houses on Sunday and last night. The presentation of the various acts now goes smoothly. The same bill holds dur- ing the week. Chutes Theater. The reproduction of the Spanish bull- fight in nine scenes was startlingly realis- tic at the Chutes last evening. From the driving of the bulls into the inclosure to the final death of the tortured animal every phase of the brutal sport was faith- fully depicted and heartily hissed. Noth- ing lke it has ever been seen in America. The new bill was very good, and Pearl Halght, the “American Anna Held,” was cordially greeted. She has the form and face of the French milk bather, and imi- tates her in - a thoroughly satisfactory manner. Thomas K. Ryan is a funny ex- temporaneous singer, and Eusapia, fire dancer, has_some novel and pleasing ef- fects. Mae Tunison, soprano, was warmly recelved, and the three De Novas, aerial Eerformers‘ and Conlon and Ryder, acro- atic comedians, repeated their hits of last week. In the zoo a ‘laughing jack- | ass” and carpet snake from Australia arei | | | novelties. The daily matinees in the Free Theater are always well attended. Perkins Republican Club. The Perkins Republican Club of the Forty-fourth Assembly District met last evening and elected officers for the com- | campaign. The Perkins club is the in olest Hepubiican club in the northern section of this city, and this is the third | campaign_in which the members have | taken active part. The following officers were elected: President, George Faber; | first vice president, A. Suarez; secon vice president, Charles Baez; secretary, | Ed Wellman; 'treasurer, R.
