OWEN ROONEY’S DILEMMA NO PEOPLE LIVE NEAR TO HIS SALOON-RESTAURANT. Tens of Thousands Pass His Place Daily, but None Can Legally Sign His Petition for a License. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Dec. 19. Following the example of many other countles Alameda has brought suit against State Controller E. P. Colgan to recover $104,316 66 claimed to be due on ac- count of fees, charges and commissions that should be allowed the following | county officials’ departments: Auditor, Assessor, Treasurer and Tax Collector. The complaint gives in detall the | amounts due each year from 1893, and ror each year from that time the figures are: $25,634, 321,227, $21,396, $18,117, $17,942. It 1s also stated the Controller has been aske.. to refund this money to the county and has refused. At the meeting of the Supervisors this morning they were notified that such a | suit had been brought. Owen T. Rooney, the proprietor of the saloon and restaurant at the Oakland | Mole, is in a dilemma. The law requires that ‘'when any one applies for a saloon license his application must be signed by a stipulated number of residents within | a certain district of the proposed saloon. Rooney’s place of business 1s at the ex- | treme “end’ of the . and_there is not a single signer available within the re- | quired distance or twice the distance re- | quired by law. He has therefore done the | next best thing and procured signatures | of people who live in West Oaklanid near- | est to the mole. The Supervisors believe | that this Is the intent of the law, and he | will probably be granted his license, al- | though the point raised by the law has never been passed upon. The question of fixing water rates in the districts outside of incorporated towns was brought wup, as it ‘is every year, and as usual there was~ some doubt as to the interpre- tation to be placed on the s erning such procedure. Sec; T. Watkinson of the Contra C y does not desire to go through experience every year, so ne vely suggested to the board that as ary J. H. a Water District Attorney Snook had been stuay- ! ing this matter for eight years, while in office, he be required to furnish the board with @ report bearing on the statute, so that the next District Attorney would not have to cover the same ground. Mr. Snook was requested to report not later than next Tuesday morning. CIGARETTES MAY REMAIN. The Council Transacts Important Ac- | tion on Public Streets. OAKLAND, Dec. 19.—The edict against | the cigarette may soon be provisionally withdrawn.

New Bills at the Other Houses of En- tertainment—Mrs. Bates Re- | turns to the Alcazar. “The Yellow Dwarf” appeared to please | the first-night audience and the applause | was frequent. It is the Inconsequent ex- Christmas time and miscalled a panto- | mime, of which there have been so many examples at the Tivoli at all seasons of the year. One does not expect to find much wit in such a piece, and there is | nothing very original or amusing in the | story told or in the lines, but it serves as | a vehicle for some fairly good songs—the best of them are of the sentimental kind —a number of speclalties of all kinds, | some pretty ballets, elaborate costuming and a great deal of scenery. The manage- ment has spent money lavishly in dress- ing the piece and the chorus girls and several of the principals are kept busy changing their costumes. One of the best sets is the orange grove where the “‘dance | of the fireflies” makes a very pretty ef- | fect. | ""A Diece of this kind depends so much on the individual efforts of the whole com- pany, and especially of the comedians, | that it takes several nights before it is in first rate working order, as it affgrds un- limited opportunities for adding®d comic “business,” which the Tivoll company will no doubt soon take advantage of. However, it went fairly smooth for a first performance, although several scenes are capable of being much more worked up, as, for instance, the_boxXing bout in the orange grove, which Mr. Stevens and Mr. West could doubtless make very fun- I ny. The appearance of the Yellow Dwarf and the Fairy Queen and their flight with the lovers also needs elaborating, as it went very tamely last night, and glr‘ Ste- vens will have to get some new material for his monologue if he expects to make a hit with it. The Tivoli stock sompany, with a few ction_gov- | permitting the Southern Pacific | and appropriating | Lake Mérritt from Bast Oakland,and $1000 | in and about Lake Merritt | | travaganza so popular in England at | additions, appears in /“The Yellow Dwarf.” One of the additions is Miss Iris Maynard, a lady of opulent charms, who plays the part of the Fairy Queen, and another is Miss Ida Wyatt, the pre- miere danseuse and maitresse de ballet. Miss Anna Lichter plays the part of the usual beautiful princess, and Miss Elvia Crox that of the fortunate Prince, who wins her from threatening suitors. Both ladies appeared to advantage and had many opportunities of showing their good voices. - Mr. Pruette, in a female part, created much laughter, but his comical- ity was more in his absurd appearance than in his acting, of which he did very little; his performapce deserves credit for its freedom from the vulgarity which is generally inseparable from female im- bersonations. Mr. Branson in the titls part has not much to do, and the other rincipal comedians, Mr, Stevens and Mr. West, had to create most of their own opportunities for fun-making. Tneir song at the end of the second act was one of the most successful episodes in the piece_and was very well gone. Miss An- nie Myers appeared in a bewildering number of characters, and several others of the well-known Tivoli people in less importaht parts. “The Yellow Dwarf” is good enough to run through the Christmas holidays, when people are supposed to be in search of mirthful theatrical fare. The book is by | Mr. George Lask, and_the scenery and transformation scene by Mr. Oscar L. rest. Columbia. “A Parlor Match” entered upon {ts last week at the Columbia before a rather light house, due no doubt to the inclem- ent weather. Barring the natural dis- appointment at not seeing George Hoey and Charley Evans in the parts made so familiar by them, ‘Parlor Match” s as full of life and fun as ever, and those who are suffering from the ‘blues” will find a certain cure at the Columbia. Of the specialties Etta Butler's imitations, including her impersonation of Modjeska, was by all oads the cleverest bit of work of the evening, though the singing of Tillie Salinger and the Kingsley sisters was most enjoyable, while the other peo- ple were well received. California. *0'Brien the Contractor” seems to have been written especially for Daniel Sully He plays the character in his own inim- itable way and scored a success at the | California last night. As the builder of a road through Rocky Gorge he has staked his all on its completion, and the manner In which he triumphed over his foes won the symputhy of the large audience. He | was ably seconded by his wife, Mrs. Lou- | ise Sully, Miss Dai aplin, Jefferson | Lloyd, Harry McFayden and the remain-. | der of the cast. Baby Ithel is a very | clever child was one of the features | of the play. “O'Brien the Contractor” will continue during the week. Alcazar. Fred Marston’s comedy ‘“Humbug,” which was written for Roland Reed, was presented at the Alcazar last night. The of Mrs. F. M. Bates, the Alcazar's favor- ite. She met with a most cordial recep- tion. Several theater parties were pres- ent in her honor. The comedy Is well named. A young man, the son of a shoe- | maker, and a young widow, the daughter { of a butcher, meet and téll each other of | their noble ancestry. They are married, |'and the difficulties they have to surmount { to prevent the inevitable exposure are | provocative of the heartiest laughter. Er- | nest Hastings, as Jack Luster, the hum- bug, made quite a hit, and he had a con- genial partner in_Miss Maria Howe as Araminda Bertram-Ponsby-Luster. Bates had not much to do as Mrs. Jucge Sham, but what she had she did well. The other parts were ably sustained Ly the other members of the stock com- puny. The piece went with a swing that | was refreshing. | The Chutes. thoroughly enjoved last evening. The De Elbert sisters are pretty girls, and in their | transformation dances are well gown The Marco brothers are extraordinar contortionists, and Jeannette Lilfora is | making a great hit with ber “Chappie” | songs.

The three Merkell sis- ters, equilibrists, are on the bill, and Frank La Mondue is still a favorite. Paul Batty's bears are on the last week of their engagement. The three Lukins are new and have an acrobatic act that is of more than ordinary merit. New Comedy. There is snap enough in the company playing Hoyt's “Bunch of Kevs” this week at the New Comedy Theater for two buches of keys rolled into one. Lne well- filled house was pleasantly disap-ointed, for it saw a better “‘Bunch of Keys"” than | has been presented here for a long time. Ada Bothner. the “Teddy of the cast, has steam and ginger hot enough and strong enough to make a Pinckney alley tamale. The plece is intersnersed wit songs and choruses of the touch-and-go- lively order, and the audience was kept bubbling over with laughter until the fall | of the curtain. West’s Minstrel Jubilee, The appearance of Mlllionaire West's | big minstrel jubilee at the Columbia The- ater beginning with a Christmas matinee, Monday, December 26, promises to be a rare treat. Mr. West has gathered an all-star cast to present the artistic side of minstrelsy. Among the many celebri- | ties in this company is Carroll Johnson, | whose fame as a song and dance come- dian is well known to theater-goers. An- other celebrity is Clement Stewart, Lo don's favorite tenor. His voice has af- tracted the attention of all the critics in this country. In New York the West com- | pany played to the most fashionable au- diences ever seen at a minstrel perform- ance. Olympia. The Leandro brothers were one of the new attractlons at the Olympia Music Hall last night. They are clever and were well received. Conchita has new songs and Freada, the Turkish dancer, has been retained. ——————— JUDGE LAWLOR INSTALLED. Judge Belche; Orders His Commis- sion Entered Upon the Minutes. Judge W. P.

NO DAMAGES TO BE ASKED THE QUESTION OF HIS SUCCES- SOR IS DISCUSSED. Governor Budd Positively Announces That the Appointment Belongs | to the Republican Party. J. G. Edwards, editor of the Coast Re- view, died at his home In this city early yesterday morning. Death resulted from a fracture of his skull. At the last gen- eral election Mr. Edwards was elected to represent the First or San Francisco Dis- trict on the State Board of Equalization. the position now filled by A. Chesebrough. Had Mr. Edwards lived he would have taken the office to which he was elected | on the 2d of January next. Some of the politicians surmise that Mr. Chessbrough, olding until his successor shall be elect- | ed and qualified, may hold the place until | tne next general election, but the generai | current of opinion is that the Governog | will appoint to fill a vacancy. It was| definitely stated yesterday by Governor Budd that he would not appoint. Speak | ing with reference to the subject he said “Had Mr. Edwards been elected as a Democrat T would announce my purpose to appoint some one to take his place on the State Board of Equalization, but as he was a Republican I hold that the office belongs to_the Republican party, and, therefore, 1 shall leave to the incoming 3 Mr. Gage, the question of fill- ing the vacancy.” luness notified the Coroner yester- v that the death of John G.

Personal Property Exempt According | to a Supreme Court Dscision. The Supreme Court has decided in favor of the defendant in the case of the ! Assessor of Sacramento County against | the National Bank of D. O. Mills, an ac- | tion brought to recover taxes from the corporation. In the statement of its man- | ager to the Assessor a deseription was | given of certain real estate, safes and fix- | tures, the valuation of which was placed | | &t $5000. The county officer was dissatis- | fied, and the bank employes changed the statement, omitting the safes and fix- tures, and gave the altered statement to | the Assessor. Still the Assessor was dis- isfled and he made an arbitrary a: sessment _which took in all the property mentioned. The bank tendered the taxes on the real estate, but declined to pay on claiming | any of the personal property, that the same was exempt under the law | creating national banks. The bank re- ceived judgment and the case was ap- pealed. The contention of the bank was first, that the assessment was illegal because the Assessor did not subpena the officials of the bank for examination as to the property in dispute. This the higher court holds to be unnecessary. The sec- ond contention of iilegality was that un- der the national banking act the personal | roperty . fixtures ., are exempt | rom taxation, and upon this the judg- | | ment of the lower court was affrmed. | The point was that Congress had specified what should be taxed, and the property | under discussion was not on the list. —_———————— In the Divorce Courts. | Anna L. McCord was granted a divorce | from Mark McCord yesterday on the | ground of desertion. Myrta Struhel has sued F. M. Struhel for a divorce, alleging failure to provide as a cause of action. — e TRANSATLANTIC STEAMERS. QUEENSTOWN—Arrived Déc 19—Stmr Ma- Jestic, from New York. AN FRANCISCO CALL.
