A VICTORY FOR HER NEPHEW TIMOTHY MAHONEY WILL NOW APPLY FOR LETTERS. How He Saved a Lot Bequsathed to Him by Uncle Cornelius From Being Eaten by Debt. Oakland Office Ban Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Jan. 16. After a year's bitter legal battle to save his legacy from being eaten up with the debt standing against it, Timothy Ma- Judge Hall. When Cornelius Mahoney died several years ago he left a will bequeathing two | lots near Third and Grove streets to his | widow, Hannah Mahoney, whom he also named as executrix. A third lot ‘was be- | queathed to his nephew, Timothy Ma- | honey, another to John Mahoney, and | still another to Margaret Mahoney. The | property is all located in one block, and is worth between $5000 and $6000. On Timothy Mahoney's legacy there ex- ists a_mortgage of several hundred dol- lars. There were also other debts against testator's estate, and after the probate of the will the court ordered that some of the property be sold to pay off all the | indebtedne: Hannah honey, the executrix, refused to sell any of her legacy, consisting of lots with several houses, from which she realizes about $25 monthly in rents. But she decided to sell Timothy's lot and with the proceeds pay off the debt on the same, probably intending to replenish the cof- fers of the estate with the surplus. To this Timothy vigorously objected, and last March he had the executrix cited to show cause why sne should not be re- moved on the ground of not complying | with the order of the court relative to selling certain property. At that time she managed to make a satisfactory arrange- ment temporarily, but still refused to sell any but Timothy’s lot, and to-day she was again in court on a citation. Timothy explained to the court that to his mind the mortgage on his legacy ought by right to be paid out of the en- tire estate of Cornelius Mahoney. Judge It was v apparent, however, that the widow executrix still refused to obey such order, whereupon Judge Hall revoked the removed her as executrix. Timothy's joy knew no bounds, and he hastened out of the court smiling like a summer's morning. He will now apply for letters himself, although the court suggested that perhaps it would be best to issue them to the Public Administrator. However, young Mahoney saved his lot from being eaten up by its debt. ~~ SUPERVISORIAL DOINGS. T. F. Garrity Succeeds R. M. Fita- gerald as Law Library Trustee. OAKLAND, Jan. 16.—County Recorder Grim filed a requisition with the Board of Supervisors this morning asking for two clerks to write up the mortgage books for 1888. Recorder Grim explained that Mortgage Clerk James had not fin- | ished his work, and that his books were not written up during September and Oc- tober, and his deputies could not attend to those books until the work to January 1 had been entered. He was willing to al- low his deputies to assist, but he pre- ferred to assume no responsibility in the matter. The requisition was referred to the committee of the whole. The board appointed Thomas F. Gar- rity_trustee of the Law Library to suc- ceed R. M. Fitzgerald, whose term has Just expired. At the suggestion of Supervisor Roeth the District Attorney will be requested to give an opinion on the legality of Con- stables' claims for mileage. Mr. Roeth stated that these officers are in the habit of charging individual mileage for each prisoner when they have more than one en route to the County Jail. follows irst, F. K.

Patterson died at her home, w22 West Berkeley, to-day. The rumor of poisoning interest among the musical people of Alameda. at first circulated is apparently without foundation, although Depaty Coroner Btreightiff has decided upon holding an inquest to allay suspicion. %he rumor was founded on the fact that iast Friday the nurse attending Mrs. Patterson gave the patient, by mistake, a spoonful of carbolic acid, but she immediately de- tected the taste of the poison and ejected all of the liquid from her mouth.

FRANK DANIELS SCORES A HIT INCOMIC OPERA Good Company, Good Fun, Good Music. THE TIVOLI'S “WEDDING DAY” ANOTHER HOYT PIECE OPENS AT THE ALCAZAR. Farces at the California and Com- edy and New Vaudeville at the Orph- 1 eum. After an unpardonable absence of something like five years our little farce-comedy friend, Frank Daniels, came back last night a full-fledged comic opera star and gave in the Co- lumbla theater more spangled, music- shot fun than that theater had ever housed before. Frank Daniels is even more than his old self, his company is comely, competent and Iimpeccably stage-managed, his settings are works of art, and his piece, “The Idol's Eye,” is bursting with the glad, irresponsible frolic, tune and picture which now- adays go to make up what we call comic opera. There are two kinds— and as many more as you like—of comic opera: the pleces that are writ- ten around the traditions of the busi- ness and the pieces that are written around the personal peculiarities, charms and so forth of the star pro- prietor. “The Idol’s Eye” was bulilt to measure for Frank Daniels by Harry B. Smith and Victor Herbert, and it fits that condensed comedian without a wrinkle. It keeps him constantly in the calcium, and incidentally gives several others in the cast chances to the good, and the background is al- ways lively and celorful and rich with amiable sound. That “The Idol's Eye” has a plot I will not swear, but there is at least some sequence in the jokes and lots of fun clustering about the Rajah’s ruby, (after which the piece is named), the possession of which causes a man to be beloved by all who come near him. And another comical idea finds character in the Scotchman who attempts suicide, and whose life, according to the custom of the Rajah’'s country, is thereafter reckoned non-existant, while the res- cuer is held responsible for all and any Frank Daniels in the part of Abel Conn, an aeronaut, does the rescuing in the first act, and the Scotchman haunts him to the end of the plece with something of the effect of Jinks Hoodood in “Little Puck.” The magic ruby, of course, is constantly changing hands and hearts, and there is seldom a lag in the whirl of nonsense. Mr. Herbert's music is for the most part light and tinkling. The finales and choruses are frequently full of the smash and hardware of ambition, but the solos are nearly all fleet and frothy. In a word, the music fits the book; it is spontaneous and taking and really beautifully scored. The company is good to listen to and good to look upon. A beautiful young woman, by the name of Helen Red- | mond, whose neck and arms were the sole topic of conversation with the Johnnies between acts last night, stalks ravishingly through the principal fe- male part, and the wonderful Scotch- man is wonderfully played by Alf. C. ‘Wheelan. To turn to Scotland for a funny foil is a timely idea, and it is hard to think of any one else who could glve this fellow as splitting a presenta- tion as Mr. Wheelan does. And then thepe is Will Danforth, who does a cap- ital bit of flerce humor as Don Tobasco, the Cuban planter. Put the others down unlisted as good company, and praise the chorus for its tone, beauty and stride. These are the handsomest, healthiest, happiest clad and highest-stepping chorus ladies that have westward hoed in many a day, and they will have no trouble in winning the flowers and freedom of the city. 5 Frank Danlels, for all that he is now a better actor, is practically the same funny little fellow we laughed at in the farce comedies. He seems to have ac- quired none of the vices of the comic opera business. Being small he can do things on the stage that his more mas- sive colleagues would not dare to do, and there is hardly more than a savor of vulgarity in his whole performance, which is saying a good deal these days. His humor is quaint and almost effort- less—you seldom see the wheels go round. He is magnetic to the last inch, and even when his comicality is purely of the physical sort, there is something ingenuously genial in it, something that makes it a good-natured personal affair between you and him. ASHTON STEVENS. The Tivoli. “The Wedding Da: an opera comique written by Stanislaus Stange and com- posed by Julian Edwards, was produced at the Fivoll for the first time in this city last evening. It is one of the most clever musical productions in the West. The scenes are taken from historical events in France in 1640, and the costuming is of the gay order of those times. For two ears ““The Wedding Day” had a run in ew York, and its first production con- tained in the cast such stars as Jefferson de Angelis, Lillian Russell and Della Fox. One of the original cast was William Pruette, who appeared last evening in the role of the Duc de Bouillion. Edwin Stevens in the character of Polycop, the baker, made a hit, especially in the song ‘“Dream of Fair Women” and the character sketch, dances and song. Little Annie Myers as the baker’'s bride ‘won much applause in her “Rose Marie”" song. After an absence of a year and a half Miss Bernice Holmes returned from the East, where her vocal powers have been greatly improved. Her song, *Lost Love, My Own,” was well recelved. She filled the part of Mme. de Montbazon, leader of the rebels, with such stately grace as showed that she fully appre- clated a difficult-character. ° Miss Anna Lichter's efforts showed that she is in the front ranks with the others, and repeated calls that she is a favorite with the public. Another to recelve a mark of public favor was Arthur Boyce, whose sympathetic voice won for him well merited applause. In fact, every one in the cast gave satisfaction. Special men- tion is due to the chorus. or a first night effort the opera was well executed and promises to ecrowd the Tivoli to the end. The plece is well staged. California, “Yon Yonson,” with its Swedish hero, ludicrous situations and dramatic inci- dents, is on this week at the California. The play has lost none of its old interest and in consequence a full house greeted the opening performance last evening. Ben Hendricks, as Yon Yonson, is nat- urally the center of interest, but he is ‘well supported by a clever company. Alcazar. 2 The Alcazar was crowded last night when Hoyt's comedy, “A Temperance Town,” was presented by the clever stock company. The play is a satire upon the prohibition fad, the plot hinging upon the fenacuflon of the only rum seller in the own, an old soldier who was seriously wounded while rescuing a comrade who turns out to be the son of the parson, one of the leading persecutors. T.e com- pany scored a distinct success with the play. It was well staged, well played and barring two long delays between the acts was all that could be desired. . L. R. Stockwell as the town drunkard was at his best, New Comedy. “Two Married Men” at the New Come- dy Theater began the week under good auspices, the pretty little place of amuse- ment being well filled. The play is the funny domestic mishaps of a couple of husbands—one with an emotional wife and the other with a mother-in-law. Of course, the mother-in-law is a tartar and the emotional wife also frivolous and naughty enough to attract the male vic- tim of the mother-in-law. There were many laughable people in the play, but Ray Southard as ‘‘Peter’” and Harry de Vere as “Tom Handout” carried off all the comic honors. Southard is. evidently an old time minstrel and De Vere’'s make- u;;e;us unique. The play will run all the W Orpheum. The Orpheum presented *an unusually strong bill last night, and Manager John Morrisey 18 to be congratulated. The musical Avolos captured the house. They brought splendid music out of the xylo- phones and their playing of Sousa's marches necessitated a number of en- cores. Olympia. Querita Vincent scored a great hit at the Olympia last night. Her songs and dances_are a éreat go with Olympia pa- trons. Maude Gage,whistler; Marie Wood, soprano; the Drummond Sisters; the De Bolien Brothers, and several other good vaudeville acts ' make up a very ac- ceptable bill. Helmont Concert To-Night. Gerome Helmont, the boy violinist, will be heard at the Sherman & Clay Hall this evening. He will play the seventh Concerto of De Beriot, two compositions of Musin, dedicated to the young per- é(‘zlrme[r. and the “Elfentanz” of Popper- uret. The Chutes. Armand and Carmen, operatic travest- ists; Mason and Duck, acrobatic come- dians; Kitty O'Brien, fair, fat and forty, | and a really funny Irish comedienne, and Zeda, a_contortionist, were new at the Chutes Free Theater last evening. To Lose a Professor. BERKELEY, Jan. 16.—Dr. E. B. McGil- vary of the department of philosophy in the University or California has received the appointment to the head of the same department in Cornell University. The professor will accept the call, but will retain his present position during the re- mainder of the present college year. Dr. McGllvary has been an instructor in the university for a number of years, and received the degree of Ph.D. here in 1897. He is one of the large number of young men whom Dr. Howison has trained in philosophy, many of whom now occupy prominent positions in Eastern universi- ties, His departure will leave a vacancy in the university faculty that will filled with difficulty. —_————————— Porpoises are caught in large numbers all along the Atlantic coast.
