DIVORCE HAS BEEN GRANTED SHE ADMITS THAT SHE LOVES DR. FRANKLIN f. DUNCAN. The Rival Young Medico Has Been Very Aattentive to Her Since They First Met at a Danc- ing School. It was in the autumn of 1891 that Dr. George W. Burnett, a popular young druggist whose store is on Turk street, became acquainted with a divorced woman named Lena W. Geantit, who was five years his senlor. She was a rather bright and attractive person, and the doctor fell in love with her, proposed marriage and was accepted. His father, G. G. Burnett, who was known as a capi- talist, and who for many years conducted awarded to him the custody of the only child, Lucille P. Burnett, aged six years. To the defendant the court gave tne household furniture in the residence at 638 Haight street, which for some years has been the home of the couple. The co-respondent is a handsome young doctor, Franklin T. Duncan, a recent graduate of the San Francisco College ot Physicians and Surgeons, and who not long ago opened a pharmacy in the Press Club building on Ellis street. Dr. Dun- can first met Mrs. Burnett at a Sutter- street dancing school, where in the giddy mazes of the whirling and entrancing waltz he became enchanted with her, at least so goes the story, which is well corroborated by the allegations set forth in the petition for divorce and proven by the testimony of the several witnesses who related many events following the dancing school friendship, dating back about eighteen months. Last summer, while Dr. Duncan was an attache of the Soldiers’ Home at Yountville, he was visited by Mrs. Bur- nett, whom he introduced to the other resident physicians as his wife. Another charge was that Dr. Duncan made his home at the Burnett residence during the absence of Dr. Burnett in Southern California several weeks last 1. Dr. Burnett, last sprlng suspecting that his_wife was playing him false, ated from her. it was not until quite recently, however, that he obtained the proof necessary to warrant a sult for di- vorce. When he started to secure the evi- dence it came thick and fast. It was brought out in the evidence that on one occasion Dr. Burnett returned home un- expectedly, Dr. Duncan retreated from the house through the back door, vaulted over a high fence with all the ease and agility of a gymnast, and sped away with the swiftness of a rofessional sprinter, much to the astonishment as well as amusement of some of the neigh- bors who witnessed the incident. Dr. Duncan and Mrs. Burnett were ae- cused of having frequently met in a clandestine manner, of having attended theaters and taken late dinners together, and so on, while the husband was faith- fully compounding prescriptions in his Turk-street drug store. At the trial Mrs. Burnett admitted that she loved Dr. Duncan and did not care for her husband. Dr. Duncan and Mrs. Burnett have been seen in each other’s |a drug store at 227 Montgomery street, strenuously opposed the marriage. The son, nevertheless, made Lena W. Geantit | his wife, and he h#s lived to repent it. | | He probably wishes now that his father s objections had prevailed, although he 1s | now a free man, having secured a ai- vorce.

S \‘ § DR \4 /4l I THERE ARE THOSE WHO WISH TO DISPIAY THE LATESS FROM PARIS HETHER or not the major- ity who arrive at the thea- ter before the curtain goes up shall be annoyed and have their pleasure inter- rupted by the minority who come late is a matter that racting the attention of the the- al managers of the city. e discussion of the subject was ght about by the publication in Call recently of a rule which is ully enforced in Eastern cit- 1nd in one of the popular theaters D The adopted rule is as ws ns arriving after the rise of n will not be seated until > close of the act in progress e of their arrival. Accom- will be provided for seat- ate comers {n the rear of the the- til that time. This action is 1 Justice to those who have cultivated the commendable babit of being punctual.” While the managers all agree as to the justice and desirability of such a rule and would be as glad to hail its general advent as they were that of the ordinance which made Captain Rottanzi famous, and relegated for all time the big theater hat to its proper lace, they do not think it can be de a success in S. “rancisco. “I'he rule is @ very proper one, and I sincerely hope some way may be found to bring about its adoption in an ef- fective’ manner,” said J. J. Gottlob of the firm of Friedlander, Gottlob & Co., managers of the Baldwin, Colum- bia and California theate: “or in- stance, you take such plays as were presented by Henry Miller, where the utmost quiet and attention were re- quired for their proper appreciation. It was a gross imposition upon those who arrived promptly to have people come stringiniln all through the first act, spoiling the scenes for others and distracting the players. ‘“The women are the worst culprits in this respect,” continued Mr. Gott- lob. “In many Instances this late com- ing is the result of false pride. Some have a beautiful new gown or wraf and it is necessary that they should come in late so that ther® can be no ® 00000000000 0CC00000C0CO0000C0O00COCOOO00OC0OC0O00C0O0 ¢ | THE HABIT UNDER TREATMENT ; gosslbnlty of their bein, y overlooked the other women. Then there is that class who are afraid t.aeir friends present will not know they are at the theater unless they come in about the middle of the first aci; and the higher the price of the ticket the more such people seem to feel obligated to com- mit this infraction of the niceties of playhouse etiquette. It is hard to reg- ulate such people, because If they could not do these things the play would have, little attraction for them. However, you can take these same in- dividuals under other circumstances and they pride themselves on their po- liteness and good breeding. “Probably the only way such a nuis- ance can be abolished will be by the force of public sentiment. If ‘these late comers were convinced that the early comers they so regularly annoy regard them as iil-bred peopi> who do not know any. better tnei/ wonld soon find it fashionable to be in tieir seats he rise of the curtain. be"'lort'iflzdethnt scheme a part of one evening, and nearly had a riot,” said all, manager of the Alcazar, ‘)“a‘nrvg(l am content to let people have their own way in this matter. I am the grandfather of the managers of ©0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 THOSE T AND THERE ARE ALWAYS this coast, and through a lifetime of experience I have evolved the idea that I don't want to pose as a re- former. The other fellows can do that. I believe in conducting my theater in the same manner that a first-class dry-goods house is run—keep what the people want and 7lve it to them with- out playing favorites. This matter of punctual and late coming is between the playgoers, and if the early comers, ‘who are the majority, cannot suppress the objectignable late comers it is their own fault. In this matter, notwith- standing it would be very delightful to have such a rule accegted. I propose to keep right in the middle of the road. I have had enough of trying to reg- ulate these swelled-head young bucks who think that because " they have bought a seat or two they own the theater. They are the feilows who would block this game, for they have neither manners nor sense.” “‘Such a rule could not be success- fully applied to a vaudeville house,” said Manager Morrisey of the Or- pheum, “but if I were running a legit- imate house I would expect to make a faflure if I did not protect the best class of my patrons In that way. These late comers don’t care for the play. They are the kind of people who will pay $7 to hear Melba, and not arrive until the latter part of the first act. They don't understand the music and don’t care to, but they know how to make themselves con- spicuous and a nuisance to those who are there to enjoy the attraction.” The New Comedy Theater has adopted the rule and put it in force successfully on Monday night. “Our theory,” said Manager EIlI house, “Is to at all times comply wit] the wishes of our patrons in every possible way, and in justice to our early comers we are in duty bhound to carry out the policy of instructing our ushers to seat the house to the rise of the curtain on the first act,.then to keep in waiting until each act is at an end for the seating of patrons that may enter the auditorium, who would then be seated, between acts. This policy is being carried to a successful issue in all the leading thea- ters in the East, and should be adopt- ed by the local theaters of this elty. ‘We appeal to our patrons in this cause, as our policy in the future will be carried out as above an- -] () o [ o >} o Q [} (] © o o 0 o [ [+] o o o () [+] o (=] o ] () o [ [ [ [ o [>] o o w9 (] [+ [} [+ 3 [ nounced.” [ [ (] THEY LIKE T MAKE A DISPLAY.

Was Also Widely Known as a Gifted Author, a Traveler and an Able Journalist. The demise in Oakland of Mrs. Lucy Antie Browne on Friday last and her in- terment yesterday afternoon will recall to the pioneers of this State and the residents of a generation ago the memory of her gifted husband, J. Ross Browne. The latter, who preceded his wife to the grave in 1875, was born in Ireland in 1822 and came to America as a mere child. He rounded the Horn in 1849 and spent sev- eral years in this vicinity. He then went to Europe and the Holy Land and pub- f, a Crusade in the Hast,” an interesting account of personal ex- perience of the Old World then seldom visited by travelers. Returning to Cali- fornia in 1855 he won high favor from the Government in investigating Indian af- fairs. He revisited Europe in 1860 as cor- respondent for the Sacramento Union and Harper's Magazine, Although of a roving disposition Mr. Browne finally settled down in the foot- hills of Oakland, and his residence, known as Pagoda Hill, attracted much attention because of its Oriental style of architec- ture. In 1868 he succeded Burlingame as Minister to China, and in October, 1875, he passed away at his home across the bay. Among his contributions to literature outside of his newspaper and magazine work are “An_American Family in Ger- many,” “The Land of Tho “Apache Ll}l{l % ;agld “‘Crusoe’s Island.' rs. Browne, who closely share her husband his rambles th mrangfl'fifi' out-of-the-way places, had reached the age of 72 years. She was a woman of great personal worth and leaves a large circle of friends to mourn her loss. —_——e—— POLICEMAN WOUNDED. Murderous Asslult Upon C. M. Barnes on Fifteenth and Mis- sion Streets. As a result of a disturbance at a dance hall on Mission and Fifteenth streets early yesterday morning Policeman C. M. Barnes is in St. Mary’'s Hospital suf- fering from a severe lacerated wound of the scalp, and it was by the merest chance that his skull was not fractured. About 3 o'clock Barnes was notifiea that a hackman was creating a disturb- ance in the cloak room in the dance hall, He went there and foynd A. J. Morrison, proprietor of livery stables on Mission street, near Eighteenth, disputing with a member of the committee. At the rc- quest of the latter Barnes took posses- sion of Morrison and led him to the side- walk and told him to take his hack away. Morrison refused. and struck Barnes f;x the face. A crowd had gathered and one of them hit Barnes on the back of the head with a blunt Instrument, dazing him. Barnes wheeled round and seein a man running away fired a couple o shots in his direction to intimidate him, but he escaped. Policeman Connell, hearing the shots, cames to Barnes’' assistance, and Morri- son was taken to the Seventeenth street station, where charges of battery and resisting an officer were booked against him. Barnes was taken to the Recelving Hlon ital and later to St. Mary’'s Hos- pital. Later a young man was arrested and laced in *‘the tanks” on suspiclon of eing the user of the blunt instrument, and will be detained to see if he can be identified, Barnes has been a terror to the rowdy element on Sixteenth street since he has been on the beat, and it is thought that had something to do with the murderous assault upon him. —_—— The organization of the official Repub- lican Club will take place at Pixley Hall, 1534 Pacific avenue, on Tuesday evening, September 20, 1898, . —_————— Stockton Too Hot to- Wounds. John Riley, who claims to have fired the last shot on the Alabama during her engagement with the Kearsarge in June, 1864, made his appearance at the Receiv- ing Hospital yesterday morning to have a nshot wound In his left arm dressed, iley said he was shot by a man named Pete Clark. owing to his religion, about ten days ago, and as it was too hot in Stockton he determined to come here till his wounded arm was better.

Country or- 8 P :ol”’l ¥ INCOMPLETE REPORT ON THE CITY TAX LEVY Will Be Presented to the Supervisors. THE RESULT .OF A TANGLE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE TO SHIFT RESPONSIBILITY. It Has Disagreed on the Large Ap- propriations, but on the Small Ones There Was a Unani- mity of Opinion. The Supervisors will meet this morn- ing at 10 o’clock to consider the tax levy. The Finance Committee will present an incomplete report, but will not present it in the customary way. Certain minor appropriations will be recommended unanimously by Chairman Rottanzi, Devany and Haskins, but the report will state that the chairman disagrees with the other two members of the committee i regarding appropriations for streets and the Mission zoo. Rottanzi wants to cut the street department appropriation and drop the zoo park altogether for the pres- ent. In conclusion the committee will state that it cannot agree on these items and will ask the board to step in and set- tle the matters at issue without reference to the committee. No total levy will be su]ggesled. ese statements are authoritative, | being made by one member of the Fi- nance Committee. Ie further stated that the meeting of the Finance Committee on Saturday evening was the last held on the subject of the levy, no second meeting being called for Sunday. { There were several chance meetings vesterday between Supervisors Britt, De- any, Rivers, Sheehan i3 There was consideral pro and con on the sion z00. This proposed ‘“improvement” is the hardest one on which to reach an agree- m ent. The indications are that the even split in the board will make the morning ses- sfon to-day interesting. In view of the fact that the law compels the Super- visors to fix the levy before they adjourn this afternoon, the probabilities are that some form of a compromise between the slx favoring $1 40 as the municipal rate and the six who advocate $1 20 will be made. In this event $1 30 may be the final figure. The whole Moslem race despise and hate the sound of bells, which they say cause the evil spirits to assemble to- gether. In comsequence they are never used on Mohammedan mosques. ADVERTISEMENTS. TELEPHONE GRANT 33 and 38. ( 1EBENR K 222-224 SUTTER STREET.
