Subsequently both hus- t snd wife remarried, and, s to say, the hus s now divorced from hia second baving permitt roto bave the custody of a little daughter. After having been divorced from her first husband Mrs. Grantit became Mrs, George Burnett. PEurnett is the son of | George W. Burnett, the ploneer druggist of this city, who until.recently had cor ducted a pharmacy on Montgomery street since the time when that thoroughfare. He s now established on Turk street and is puted to be a millionalre. For rly four years Mr. and Mrs. Bur- nett lived happily, and a litue daughter was born to them. Then Dr. Duncan came into Mrs, Burnett's life. He was a friend of the husband and had been called in to attend Mrs. Burnett for a slight aflment. He was a young man of polished ma ners, suave and of good appearince. He had but recently graduated from colleg: and at once paid Mrs. Burnett marked at- tention. Burnett was called away on a business trip to Los Angeles, and during his absence, as was subsequently brought out at the trial for divorce, the young physician practically lived at the Burnett | home. The result has already been told. Mrs. Burnett once more ventured upon the troublous sea of matrimony, changing her name to Duncan. That was less than a 3 ago, and again {s she alone. Her 1d for two weeks past has refused to live with her. rusations of a very serious nature have been made on both sides, and the probabilities are that an- other suit for divorce will shortly be com- menced. Dr. Duncan is in this city and his wife is enjoying herself at Comgress Springs. Dr. Dunean will probabiy be best remem- bered in_this city as the former proprietor of the pharmacy at 119-121 Ellis street. hus Lecture on the Philippine.

I In the musical world it is above all the presentation of “Fidelio” that demands particular attention, not so much because of the quality of the performance as on account of the enterprise and ambition that inspired the management of the Tivoli to present a work that would other- | wise remain in obscurity as far as San Francisco is concerned. Max Hirschfeld deserves no small amount of cregit for the prominent part he has taken in bring- | ing about this result, and the music lovers of this city owe the Tivoll management a deep debt of gratitude in enabling them to listen to Beethoven's masterplece. That |1t was a very creditable performance no one who heard it will deny, and Mary Linck particularly is entitled to praise. Of course, the orchestra, having the lion's share of the responsibility, must also re- ceive the lion’s share of the praise to be aistributed ‘Il Trovatore” brought back Miss Ella Prossnitz, who labored under great dis advant when first appearing in “Alda,” inasmuch as she was afflicted with a severe cold.

He is the whole thing and some to spare. The practice now followed by heavyweight pugilists vz offering coin to such young fellows as can stand before them was instituted by him. Up till the time *“Orlando” showed on the second scene, ““Charles” was it. Now, when T. Daniel Frawley and Blanche Bates cast about for one worthy of taking the part of Charles, their eyes rested on George Miehling, the San- dow of San Francisco. When they ap- proached him with the offer of an engage- ment he shied like a soubrette at a small bottle. They coaxed and offered all sorts of inducements until Miehiing announced that if it was not for the length of the speaking part, he would tackle the job. To T. Daniel and Miss Bates the rest was easy. 'We'll cut it out,” they said, “and they did, from the “Godmorrow to your wor- ship,” where Charles makes his first ap- pearance to the “so God Kkeep your wor- ship,”” where he makes his first exit. “Oliver” did all the talking necessary, while “Charles’” Miehling struck some Post street attitudes and thought he thought. In the cond scene, where it was absolutely necessary for him to taik and wrestle, it was arranged that he should pose on the “prompt” side, where the few necessary packages of words could be shot to him trom the wings. All being ready “Orlando” was trotted on in the person of Alfred Hickman. Peeled for the bout, the young actor ap- peared no match for the Samson to whom he was soon to be opposed. He was so badly handicapped that one dramatic cricket has publicly announced that he won her sympathy from the start.

A muttered growl came from the wings to his ears. “Make a motion with your arm as if you were ordering zwei beers and say: ‘Come; where is this young gallant that is so de- sirous to lie with his mother earth?

L, Aug. 19.—The interest in the national lawn tennis tournament to- day centered in the semi-final matchez. he contest between the Westerner, Harvard player, proved a surprise even to admirers of the Harvard man, for he fairly ran away with his opponent in the first two sets. His smashing was territic and left Collins little change to save him- self. The Western ex-champion pulied out four games in the first set, -but the second ended 6—1 in favor of Davis. The third set developed into a fierce and long struggle. Davis kept up his smashing tac- tics with a speed that seemed to bewiider his opponent. _ Collins scored, however, and for the first time in the match seemed to gauge Davis' play. Deuces resulted, but Davis started in with renewed force and won $—6. The Paret-Ware match furnished ex- citing sport. The first was a deuce sct, resulting in favor of Paret 7—5. The sec ond went to Paret 6—2. In the third set Ware made a better showing than in the receding. Paret won 6—4. This will ring Davis and Paret together in the finals.

Cemmissioner Vogelsang Lands a | Fine Prize Near Oakland. | To Alex Vogelsang, president of the! State Game and Fish Commission, is due the credit of landing the largest striped bass with a light tackle. He made his | record-breaking catch on Friday in the Oakland estuary, and when the bass was hed it was found to turn the scale: at twenty-five pounds. While it may be | true that one or two 1 weighing pound or so more than Vogelsang's priz have been taken in these waters, none have been taken under conditions that would let them enter into a record com- | petition. The larger of the fish have been | caught on huge lines that would hold a | shark and with poles that cduld be mad to serve as flagstaffs. Vogelsang's outfit | was one that has seen service for steel- | head catching and was rated as one of the | mallest that that sport would permit of. ogelsang and Al Wilson went to the | fishing grounds late in the day, and for a | time ihey were fearful that they were doomed to be *'skunked” so far as getting | any fish wad concerned. At last the Com- missioner felt a bite, and he struck quick | and strong. ‘The next moment he be- lieved that he had hooked a small whale, | and the line went ning out for nearly seventy-five vards, while the pole seemed ready to break. e victim on_the end of the dine fought stubbornly for nearly | | twenty minutes and was only landed when exhausted. The prize was exhibition ‘esterday at the rooms of the commis- sion.
