Dalziel called the meeting to order and spoke a few words of welcome to the | residents of the Thirty-eighth District, not a seat was unoccupied. There was nothing about the meeting that was not of the genuine rally order. Horace Davis was heralded by all the speakers as che next Mayor of San Francisco, and the ap- | glfluse that greeted the mere mention of | is name spoke eloquently of the voting intentigns of the citizens of the Thirty- | eighth District. Special acdresses were made by Colonel . V. Ba Lucius Solomons, Major C.[’ . on Wolfe and Campaign issues were dis- cusged in a broad and liberal spirit by all | | without oratorical affectation or political | buse. The candidates came into the hall n relays and told the people what the Re- publicans Lave done and would do. An occasional variation was furnished by the band, which played national airs to the | satisfaction of all. The large crowd did not grow impatient, though the meeting | was a late cne. and when the last speaker | had come and gone nothing could be l[xu-\r’d but prolonged cheers for Horace Javis. - CONTINENTAL LEAGUE ' INDORSES NOMINEES Continental League, ever true and loyal to the Republican party, held its regular monthly meeting at Saratoga Hall, 814 Geary street, last night. Frank D. Worth, resident of the league, presided, wita | Hamilton J. Riggins as secretary. The | meeting was far above the average tn its membership present. The entire Repub- lican ticket from top to bottom was en- | thusiastically indorsed, and every mem- ber Eresent pledged himself to its support at the polls on next Tuesday. | SIXTH AND FOLSOM Bonfires and a large band wers the | harbingers that told the citizens of the | Thirtleth District last night that a big | | Republican rally was being held. The San Francisco Athletic Club on Sixth | street, near Folsom, was the place of the | meeting, and the crowd that gathered to | hear the speakers was both large and en- thusiasti Henry B. Russ presided at the meeting. Early in the evening Horace Davis ar- rived. He spoke to the audience in a very direct manner, telling them without em- bellishment just what he had done as a public official, and what he would do if { fortunate enough to be elected the next M r of San Francisco. When Mr. | Davis was introduced he received ringing | applause, and_ when he finished it was | | some time before Mr. Russ could secure | | silence to introduce the next speaker, The candidates dropped in during the evening and made their speeches to a most appreciative audience. At no time was spirit or enthusiasm lacking, and all | | | | reference to the Republican candidate for the chief executive office of the municipality evoked great applause. ————— ' DEMOCRATIC MEETING ON MISSION ROAD s Hall on Misslon road and venue was filled last night by the Magui | Democr: | ts of that portion of the Thirty- { fifth 2 trict.

It was a meeting held by the Swedish- American Political Club, and judging from the enthusiastitc manner in which the various candidates for office on the Republican ticket were received this club will wield a big influence In the final bat- tle at the polls on November 7. Many candidates addressed the meeting and after D. Molander introduced Oliver Olsen, chairman of the meeting, William Johnson, candidate for ijerflsnr, was called to the standa Mr. Johnson's address was brief and he was followed by Dr. A. D. McLean, Major Boxfon, Na- than Bibo, Dr. T. H. Morris, L. G. Car- | penter, John Lackmann, Charles on, Major C. W. Kyle, Colonel Jacksc V. Eddy and other candidates. The ar- rival of Hon. Horace Davis at the meet- ing caused a revival of enthusiasm. Mr. Davis first made his freedom from domi- pating _influences known and then informed his audience of ' improve- ments he proposed to inaugurate upon taking office next January. After Mr. Davis had concluded his address a better organization of the ciub was effected through the influence of well given advice by the wiser heads. From now on till the last ballot has been cast the Swedish-American Political Club will be counted among the Strong opponents of Phelanism and the strong supporters of Horace Davis and his policy. Ll e ADMINISTRATION IS CHEERED BY SOLDIERS Soldiers and sailors and thelr friends by the score gathered at B'nai B'rith Hall last evening to receive the Republican candidates for office. The building trem- bled with their cheers as they heard the truth they already knew regarding the prosperity and fortune that will grow through a consistent support of the ad- ministration. Hon. Horace Davis first ad- dressed the meeting. He again made known to the people the policy he in- tended to pursue after assuming the du- ties of office, and how he intended to carry out and perfect needed improve- ments and needed reforms without tax- ing the people with unnecessary and un- reasonable burdens. Mr. Davis was fol lowed by F. X. Schoonmaker of New Je: a finished orator, who dwelt at sey, length on the }vonc,\' of the present ad- ministration. His logic and eloquence went to the hearts of the people and the veterans of three wars rose and with loua acclaim made known their loyalty to that party which has lifted the nation from depression to unequaled prosperity. 5 Myron Wolfe, magnr W. W. Allen and many candidates aiso addressed the meet- ing, which adjourned with three cheers for Horace Davis and the Republican party. —_——— ROUSING MEETING TO BE HELD TO-NIGHT The executive committee of the Horace Davis Business Men's Republican Club met in the rooms of the Union League Club last evening and made arrange- ments for the mass-meeting to be held in Pioneer Hall this evening.

JEFFRIES-SHARKEY | CHAMPIONSHIP S A Continued from Fourth Page. | will _second in his fight against Curley. | He will spend the night at the Delevan House, arting for Sagamore Hoiel, Coney Island, early Friday morning, and remaining thére until called upon to face Jeftries in the ring. The articles of agreement under which Jeftries and Sharkey will fight for the | heavyweight championship of the world call for twenty-five rounds. They will battle for 66 2-3 per cent of the gross receipts, of which sum the winner will receive 75 per cent. Opinions of sporting men and pugllists on the result of the contest are Interest- ing. Peter Maher, considered by many experts on pugilistic affairs the most dangerous man in the ring to-day, picks Sharkey. Maher has bet $350 against $750 that the sailor will win. He says he likes Sharkey best because the sailor's record as a fighter is superior to Jeffries' ring achievements. He says Jeffries has only one good fight to his credit, and that was with Fitzsimmons, but he does not think that Fitzsimmons fought properly when he met the Californian, or he would have won. George Considine gives as his reason | for selecting Sharkey the latter's superior luck, nitting power and brute force. it sdys Sharkey cannot be knocked out and in support of his opinion points to the fact that Peter Maher, Kid McCoy and Bob Fitzsimmons all knocked him down, but could not make him uncon- scious. He regards Maher and Fitzsim- | mons as harder fighters than Jeffries and figures that Sharkey, who can deliver a harder blow than the Californian, will surely land a knock-out on Jefries, who he thinks cannot take very much punish- ment. Al Smith figures Jeffries the winner be- cause he is taller, heavier, longer In reach and from a scientific standpoint out- classes the sailor. Jimmy Wakeley views are precisely the same as Smith's. Late to-night Tom Sharkey, lhrough his manager, Tom O'Rourke, bet $1700 | against 32000 with Martin Dowling and $700 against $1000 with “Nat” Goodwin on himself against Jeffries. The house promises to be the largest that ever gathered for a pugilistic en- counter in New York or anywhere else in this country. The sale of seats so far has been tremendous, and if it keeps up the house will be sold out. The boxes near the stage went at $35 apiece, while the best seais near the ring commanded from 3156 to $25. General admission is to cost | %, and it is expected that the size of the gate receipts expressed in dollars will he close to §100,000. Spectators will be in at- | tendance from every State in the Union. Several large delegations from the South and Middle West got in to-day, and others from California and the extreme West and from v England will arrive to-morrow. Hotel corridors and cafes ring with fight talk. Sharkey's physiclan went down to see him at noon to-day. He is Dr. Frank B, Butler, formerly of Bellevue Hospital, New York. Dr. Butler, after remaining with Sharkey all day, sald: “‘Sharkey is in perfect condition. T have watched him ever since he began work and feel satisfled that he has developed to its fullest possibilities each muscle in his body. His blood, his digestion, all his in- ternal organs are in perfect condition. He is not In the least stale, and I think will be able to put up his best fight ri- day night.” —_— Betting in This City. The odds on the hig fight remained the same in this city yesterday, 10 to 6, with Jeffries favorite, being the ruling figures. The dollar bettors in the mutuels at Harry Corbett's also favor the big fellow on every line. Of the 88 tickets sold 494 were on Jeffries and 364 on Sharkey. The majority of the bettors apparently think Jeffries will win somewhere between the i elghth and the eighteenth rounds. The majority of those picking Sharkey name him to win from the eighth to the thir- teenth round. Fully $100,000 will change hands in this city on the outcome of the fight. - SLOSSON THE WINNER. “Wizard” Schaefer Defeated in the New York Billiarq Match. NEW YORK, Nov. L—Slosson won the | professional billlard match to-night at Madison Square Garden, beaten by %X points to night again outpl points against 262, creased the Schaefer being 767. Slosson to- ayed Schaefer by 300 and he therefore in- advantage which he held when play began by 38 caroms, and finally ended with a lead of 143. Slosson’s average for the full 90 points was a shade over four and a half and his best run of the match was 37. Schaefer exceeded this run twice, making 41 and 39 in to-night's play. His average, however, was a Jittle under | four for the full game. To-night's attend- ance was 400. 'he score: Slosson—Total, 300; average, 5 10-58; hig est runs, 21, 19, 19, 15; grand total, 900; average, 4.56. Schaefer—Total, 262; average, 4 3 highest runs, 41, 39, 20, 20; grand total average, 3. Car Broke His Ribs. Amos Stillwell, hostler for the Sutter Street Rallway Company, was knocked down and injured last evening by an elec- tric car at Mission and New Montgomery Stillwell had passed behind a westhound car, when an eastbound car, which he did not’ see coming, struck him. He was re- moved to the Harhor Receiving Hospital, Where 1t was found that several of hig ribs had been fractured. He was later taken to his home. |NOTORIOUS CROOK IS | LANDED BEHIND BARS Phil Kramer, a notorious crook, who is | also known as “George Willlams” and “Frenchy,” was arrested by Detectives Dinan, Reynolds, Wren and Ed Gibson | yesterday afternoon and locked up in the | tanks at the California-street police sta- tion. He will be formally charged with burglary to-day. Kramer is suspected, | with a good deal of reason, of being the perpetrator of numerous daylight burg- laries that have occurred in the Western Addition during the last few weeks. In at least two instances the police claim the evidence against him is strong enough i to insure his conviction on a felony | charge. i On Monday afternoon Kramer entered the residence of Mrs. Gruhn, 1624 Bu- chanan street. while the family was ab. sent and stole a lot of valuabie jewelr After leaving the Gruhn house he entered | the residence of T Ross, 1478 Ellis | street, where he secured several diamond | rings 'and other articles of jewelry. In | each instance the burglar effected an en- | trance by prying open a window with a jimmy. The neighbors observed a strange man loitering about during the afternoon, and when the burglaries became known they were able to describe him accurately. | The description fit Kramer so closely that | the detectives detailed on the case by | Captain Bohen immediately started on a | still hunt for the crook and experienced no trouble in making the arrest. Kramer has served time in both Folsom and San | Quentin. Some of the stolen jewelry was found on Kramer when he was searched at the police station. | POLIT: Horace Davis and Horace Davis is an honest, able man, of large experience in busi- ness affairs, which well qualify him to perform the duties of Mayor of this city. He is a faithful friend of the new charter and has worked for it for years; also of good government, and will use every effort to promote the prosperity and welfare of this city. His deep interest in education shows him to be a good friend of the public schools. His long residence in tkis city and his large acquaintance with men will enable him to select the best men to carry out the provisions of the new charter to the best advantage. In ability, honesty and fidelity to good principles and sound business methods, I consider him and I am sure he will prove faithful to every interest placed in his hands. He is a stanch Republican of tried experience, faithful in every relation of life, and his influence would be to uphold the patriotic principles of the Republican party at home and abroad. I am glad to heartily support the able and honest Horace Davis for Mayor. ICAL. the New Charter. the peer of any man in this city, states, tus’ dramas.

Copyright, 1899, by Ssymour Eaton. IN SHAKESPEARE. Dr. Edward Dowden, Dr. William J. Rolfe, Dr. Hamil- ton W. Mable, Dr. Albert S. Cook, Dr. Hiram Corson, Dr. Isaac N. Demmon, Dr. Vida life, and when once we have accepted the premises, the consequences deveiop nat- urally, or, at any rate, plausibly. We may even say that in the art of intrigue spinning, which was afterward somewhat | foreign and unattractive to him, the poet | here shows himself scarcely inferior to the Spaniards of his own or a later day, remarkable as was their dexterity. | Now and then the movement is sus- {pended for the sake of an exchange of | word plays between master and servant, | but it is generally short and entertain- |ing. Now and then the actlon pauses to |let Dromfo of Syracuse work off one of | his extravagant witticlsms, as, for exam- ple (i, 2): Dromio 8.—And yet she is a wondrous fat marriage.

I warrant her rags and the tallow In them will burn a Poland winter; If she lives till doomsday she'll burn a week | longer than the whole world. | As a rule, however, the interest {s so | evenly sustained that the spectator is held in constant curiosity and suspense as to the upshot of the adventure. At one single point the style rises to a beauty and intenslty which shows that, though Shakespeare here abandons him- self to the light play of intrigue, it is a diversion to which he only condescends for the moment.

There was some dis- turbance during the evennig on the part | of the guests from the Inner Temple, who, dissatisfled with the accommodation afforded them, retired in dudgeon. So that night,” the contemporary chrenicler‘ “was begun and continued to the end in nothing but confusion and errors, | whereupon it wa fterward called tne ‘Night of Error: Shakespeare was acting on the same day before the queen at Greenwich, and it is doubtful if ne were present. On the morrow a commi: sion of oyer and terminer inquired into the causes of the tumult, which was at- | tributed to a sorcerer having ‘‘foisted a | company of base and common fellows to | make up our disorders with a play of er- rors and confusions.” A second perforin- ance of the “Comedy of Errors” was| given at Gray’'s Inn hall by the Eliza- | Lethan Stage Society on December 8, | 1595.—Sidney Lee. | 6. In the plot thus carefully composed | there are at least two features worth our | notice. The first, at which we need merely | glance, is the vigorous effeot of dramatic | contrast produced by beginning this pro- | longed farce with the romantic narrative of Aegon's shipwreck and misfortunes and | wanderings, and by ending it with the . ma still more romantic discovery that the | abbess of Ephesus is the long-lost wife | whom he has so faithfully mourned. The second is the fundamental source of all the fun and trouble—the elaborate, double confusion of identity.—Barrett Wendell. Georg Brandes’ Estimate of the Play. This comedy on the frontler line of farce shows with what giant strides Shakespeare progresses in the technique of his art. It has the blood of the theater in its veins. We can already discern the experienced actor in the dexterity with which the threads of the intrigue are in- volved, and woven into an eévermore in- tricate tangle, until the simple solution is arrived at. While “Love's Labor's Lost" still dragged itself laboriously over the board, here we have an impetus and a brio in all the dramatic passages which reveal an artist and foretell a master. Only the rough outlines of the play are taken from Plautus; and the motive, the possibility of incessant confusion between two masters and two servants, is manip- ulated with a skill and certainty which astound us in a beginner, and somstimes with quite irresistible whimsicality. No doubt the merry play is founded upon an extreme improbability. So exact is the mutual resemblance of each pair of twins, no less in clothing than in feature, that not a single person for a moment doubts thelr identity. Astonishing resemblances between twins do, however, oceur in real | to fill “Romeo and Juliet | York in 1885, ple of Diana from the Lake.) | and witchcraft” To Shakespeare belongs | tween Luciana and Antiphblus of Syra- cuse (iii, 2), with its tender erotic cadences. Listen to such verses as these: Ant. S.--Sweet mistress (what your name is else 1 know not, - Nor by what wonder you hit on mine), Less in your knowledge and your grace you show not Than our carth’s wonder, more than earth divine. Teach me, dear creature, how to think and speak; Lay open to my earthly-gross conceit. Smothered in errors, feeble, shallow, weak, The folded meaning of your words' deceit. Against my soul's pure truth why labor you To make it wander in an unknown fleld? Are you a god? Would you create me new? Transform me, then, and to your power I'll vield, Since the play was first published in the Folio of 1623 it is, of course, not impossi- ble that Shakespeare may have worked over this lovely passage at a later period. But the whole structure of the verses, with their interwoven rhymes, points in the opposite direction. We here catch the first notes of that music which is soon with its har- monies. Dramatic History of the Play. Though the situations developed in the “Comedy of Errors” pass far beyond the | bounds of even stage probability, never- theless when well acted the play is ex- ceedingly effective and very popular. But | the difficulty is to find actors sufficlently resembling one another naturally or able | to make themselves sufficiently like one another artificially ‘to impersonate prop- | erly the characters of the two Dromios and the two Antipholuses respectively. | The most successful and splendid repre: sentations of the *“‘Comedy of Error: known to the history of the stage were those of the two American players Stuart Robson and Willlam H. Crane. The first of these representations was given in New The two great comedians, of course, took the parts of the two Dro- mios. Crane was nine years younger than Robson, and his voice naturally was utterly unlike Robson's voice, yet he would imitate Robson's pe- | culiarities of voice and manner in such a way as to deceive the very elect. But Robson and Crane’s produc- tion of the ““Comedy of Errors” was no- table not alone for the cleverness of the acting of the two principals. It was in | every way the most complete and elab- orate presentation of the play ever made; the only Shakespearean productions com- parable to it being Sir Henry Irving's “Henry VIII,” “The Merchant of Venice,"” ete. Few great English nlayers have taken part in the “Comedy of Errors,” but among those who have done so may be mentioned Charles Macklin (1741) and Charles Kemble (1808). Questions for Research and Review. 1. Is your interest in this play occupied with characterization or mainly with in- cidents and situations? 2. What varieties of incident and situa- | tion would have been impossible without two Dromios? 3.

How many scenes of this play are based on the theme of mistaken iden- hich of the scenes show an under- ng thought that is not farcical? If vou take the point of view of the social reformer, for instance, do you find any tragic elements in this play? What es a situation tragic or comic in real life? 6. What is gained by the introduction of a serfous element at the outset of the play and of a pathetic element in the last act? 7. Is a modern audience moved to laugh- ter by the discomfiture of a father and husband like Egeon, even though the dis- comfiture be but temporary? 8. Do you think that act III rises above ordinary farce? In what respect? 9. Would a modern audience find in the ‘“chain” incident of act III a subject of pure enjoyment? Should we look for se- rlous consequences? 10. Is Adriana admirable or merely to be laughed at? Is her husband merely laughable? How do you feel toward him? 11. What ro&c does Luclana play con- sistently in thls drama? 12. There is, even in this early play of Shakespeare, a slight element of contrast in character. Hew is it brought out? 13.
