GRACEFUL token of a great man’s gratitude, a Christ head from the pencil of the celebrated painter, Frederick Hofmann, wili shortly be placed in the art gai- lery at the Park Museum.

Of late yea artist’s great age, he has these functions, but in housekeeper has dispensed the hospitality of the magnificent villa. On in August Mrs. Isen, accompanied by Mrs, Ray of nd and the Misses Lillle Toy and | Bessle Wilson of this city, went to pay Ler respects to the great painter. AS usual Hofmann's place was filled by the housekeeper, who greeted all in the ar- tist's name. When it came to Mrs. Paui- sen’s turn to meet her hostess she ex- pressed her regrets at not meeting Hof- mann, adding at the same time that she had seen his painting “Christ in Geth- semane” at the Zeile home in San Fran- co. The mention of Mr. Zeile's prized possession acted like magic. The house- | keeper flew to tell the artist and .return- ir brought Mrs. Paulsen a special invi- fon to call upon Mr. Hofmann the fol- lowing day. Of course the lady from Cal- ifornia kept the appointment and then she learned from the great man that he had been ignorant as to the whereabouts of his “Christ in Gethsemane,” which he considered his chief d’oeuv: giving it the preference over even his “Christ in the Temple,” which is hung in the Dresden galler; Hofms nn is nearly elgnty years of age, but despite his years he is erect and alert. Like all geniuses he is unassuming in manner. He {is intensely interested in California and pleased that his great | plcture should be in the possession of a Californian. WOULD CIRCUMSCRIBE THE POWER OF CIVIL SERVICE Suit to Prevent Examination of Em- ployes in County Offices. Another suit against the eivil service provisions of the charter was fiied yester- day in the County Clerk’s office by George D. Squires. It is an action for an injunc- prevent the payment of money for rtain purposes of the Civil Service Com- mission, and if it prove successful the | authority of the commission will be re- moved from the county offices and will be greatly limited in the municipal offices. The sult is brought with Timothy Crow- ley, a blacksmith, as plaintiff, who ap- pears as a taxpaver who does not wish taxes conte: to be lilegally expended. He ds that in creating vacancies in the offices by examining employes of y offices and throwing out those who do not come up to the standard the com- on is spending his money unlaw- The Civil Service Commission has been getting down to the county offices lately in its progress toward examining all city employes. The Sheriff’s employes have been examined, and several of the men looked on as almost indispensable to the office failed to make the standard and were marked for dismissal by the com- mission. The turn of the other offices is rapidly coming, and the employes decided that something had to be done quickly or they would be turned out into the cold. The sult is the resuit. The principal contention in the suit is that over the strictly county offices the civil service has no jurisdiction at all These include the offices of the Sheriff, County Clerk, Assessor, Recorder, Cor- oner and some others. It is claimed that under the State law these officers have the power to appoint their own deputies as they please, and also that under the same law it is set forth that in all cases the appointing authority has the power to re- move the appointee. It is further suggested that in the case of the municipal offices, such as those of the Board of Werks, the Board of Health, the Tax Collector and the Supervisor: the Civil Service Commission has power only to fill such vacancies as occur by death, resignation or removal, and the further claim is made that the present appointees can be removed only by the | appointing power—the head of the office. | The third important suggestion is that | the examinations given are unjust and impractical and not calculated to proper- ly test the qualifications of the men ex- amined. It is pointed out that men who have for years proved their fithess for a certain position have failed to make any showing under the examinations imposed, and consequently have had their places jeopardized and sometimes made vacant. There was a suit of a somewhat similar nature tried before Judge Cook some time ago, but it sought to throw out the com- mission itself by the same method—that of complaining that its expenditures were not sanctioned by law. In the suit filed yesterday, however, the aim is not to have the commission declared an fllegal body, but to limit its jurisdiction, taking it away altogether from the strictly county offices and limiting it to the filling of future vacancies in the municipal of- fices. The last contention is a little com- plicated. It is claimed that when the Civil Seryice Commission came into ex- istence it found in office & number of em- ployes who were presumably competent; that it did not remove them and could not remove them because the commission did not appoint them; and further that they may hold office until the heads of their p‘:rucum- departments see fit to remove them. These last two contentions are in the complaint only by implication. The case itself #s based solely upon the immunity of the county offices. Starting with the idea that charters can do no more than the Legislature allows them to do, the plaintiff's attorneys find that the consti- tution allows charters to provide for the election of county officers, and to desig- nate the number of thelr deputies or em- ployes and the compensation of these em- es, but that is as far as it goes. There is no mention made of how thes employes shall be appointed, and so in. formation is sought in another part of the constitution which directs that the em- ployes of a department shall be appoint- ed by the head of that department in county offices, and that the appointing power shall be the removing power. That is the gist of the case. The suit is the result of an agitation among all the employes of the hall. Gar- ber, Creswell and Garber, and George D. Squires and J. C. Campbell are attorneys in the case. An application for a temporary injunc- tion restraining the payment of any more money on the examination of employes in county offices was made before Judge Bahrs. He granted the temporary writ and made it returnable before Judge Heb- bard, before whom the case will be tried on the 19th inst. Late yesterday afternoon the Board of Civil Service Commissioners was served with the temporary order, which will re- strain it from holding examinations as advertised for clerks in the offices of the Assessor, County Clerk, Sheriff, Recorder and Coroner. The Commissioners held a meeting last night and a resolution was adopted recognizing the service of the re- straining order and postponing the exam- inations for clerks in the offices men- tioned. The examination for Assessor's deputies was set for this afternoon. The next examination will be that for expe- rienced clerks in the Board of Public Works, on next Friday afternoon in the Girls’ High School. On account of the issuance of the re- straining order the Commissioners will not employ at the present time the three clerks which the Supervisors authorized them to employ to carry on the work of the examinations scheduled.

While the announcement will not come altogether as a surprise to the swell set, of which the bride-to-be is one of the handsomest and cleverest representatives, still it will not fail to arouse much in- terest in military, professional and social circles. Miss McNutt s the eldest daughter of {Dr. W. F. McNutt, the well-known local physiclan, owner of the McNutt Hos- pital and member of the Board of Police Commissioners. . Both the prospective bride and groom have been engaged before; Miss McNutt to Lieutenant Rhun of the navy and Lieu- tenant Potter to Miss Carter of Philadel- phia. In each case the engagement was .broken off. Ashton Potter is a nephetv of the Epis- copal Bishop of New York, H. C. Potter, | LL.D.,, D.C.L., ete., and the younger brother of James Brown Potter, whose | marital troubles with his beautiful actress wife from whom he was divorced are known the world over. His grandfather was Alonzo Potter, Episcopal Bishop of | Philadelphia, who, in 1859, died in the har- | bor of San Francisco, where he had just arrived after a voyage around the Horn in search of health. Lieutenant Potter's father was a mem- | ber of the well-known New York banking- | house of Brown Brothers, having married a daughter of the senior member of that rm. He left a large fortune to be di- vided among his children, one of whom, | @ daughter, married J. Kennedy Tod, a | wealthy lawyer of Gotham. Owing no doubt to the prominence of | his family undue notoriety was given Ash- ton Potter's actions while he was still | sowing his wild oats, but those who know him best speak of him as a gentleman of ability and rare promise, who has now | settled down and is regarded as one of | the mypst creditable officers in the service | of Unéle Sam. | In the late sis Potter was graduated | from the University of Cambridge in Eng- {land. He has been a prominent figure in | New York clubdom, and although he has had the entre he has generally eschewed society. Good looks is a family charpc- | teristic of the Potters. Ashton Potter 1s an extremely handsome man, while his niece, Miss Fifi Potter, has been voted | the most beautiful girl In New York so- clety. Her engagement, by the way, was recently announced to the young multi- millionaire, James Stillman Jr. of New York, son of the president of the National City Bank. Lieutenant Potter is now with his troop in the Philippines and the date of his marriage to Miss McNutt has not yet been set. It is not yet decided even whether the ceremony will be performed here or whether his fiancee will go to him at Manila. It all depends upon whether he will be able to get a leave of absence. However, the wedding of (he prominent couple will be celebrated within a few months, ANNUAL SESSION OF THE MASONS | Reports Will Show the Fra- ternity in Excellent Condition. i HE Grand Lodge of Free and Ac- ! cepted Masons will meet In the Masonic Temple in annual convo- cation to-ddy and will be in ses- slon for several days.

HORRORS AND ABSURDITIES 3 1 | IN “QUO VADIS” TION 1S ELABORATELY GLAUCUS, VINICIUS AND LYGIA IN ONE OF THE STRIKING SCENES AT THE COLUMBIA THEATER. THE PRODUC- STAGED. HERE is some good music (by Ju- lian Edwards) and there are some beautiful spectacular effects (by Frank Dodge) wasted upon Whit- ney and Knowles' production of “Quo Vadls,”” given at the Columbia The- ater last night. Let us add that Mason Mitcheil (Petronius) is an excellent actor, and we have said about all of good that it is possible to.say concerning the horri- ble farrago drawn from Sienkiewicz's hor- rible novel. The play Is a melodrama of the cheap- est and crudest kind, based upon an ap- peal to the ignorance of those who get their history from third-rate authorities and who take thelr God, with Kipling's Tomlinson, from a printed book. It is irreligious and immoral throughout, for the characters with whom you are ex- pected to,sympathize are constantly talk- ing about a divinity who could prevent Christians from being impaled like Malay fireflies, but who doesn’t. One might fill & column detailing the horrors that are in this play and that should not be there. To mention only a few: We have an attempted seduction, drunken men and women pulling one an- other around the stage, roaring lions and unwashed noblemen. Among the farcical elements (intended to be serious) we have a Christian pauper walking into the Em- peror's palace as if he were a welcome guest; a Pretorian guard that doesn’t move a finger while its captain is being | murdered by an unarmed Christian, and an Empress who proclaims in stentorian tones to a roomful of people the details nspiracy she is hatching. O ol the absurdities in e play, the most absurd is the ending. is could easily have been made convineing if Vini- cius had been allowed to stab Nero, as he was on the point of doing. Instead of this, we are asked to believe that Nero, after being momentarily frightened into forgiving his enemies, will allow them to retire to Sicily, where they are to live happlly ever afterward. ity fact is that the edin no part of it, from the Rhine to the Indies, could a xubl)lect of his live hap- ily or live at all if the Emperor wished B urisdiction of a e known world m to die.

At the California Theater the last week's suecess, ““Traviata,” with Nice Barbareschl as Violetta, was again sung before an indifferently good house. The singers did their best under the dispirit- ing circumstances, but 'twas a melan- choly performance. Applause is the very | breath to the nostrils of the Itallan ar- | | | | tist, and though the singers’ efforts were well appreciated by the small audience | there was lacking the swing and incense of the famillar “bravas,” the inspiration of fhe appreciative “Bis!" “Poco!” “Fa- lice!” an The sentimental woes of the Itallanized ““Camille” did not appeal to the Latin quarter and Pletro and Tessa, Glovanal and Lucrezia were mendln{ their nets last night or tending the brown bam- binos. Perhaps it was because they were denied the announced delight of enjoying the busy tragedy of “Norma” not a few were dlsupgo nted in this latest switch- ing of the bill and “Norma" is almost a novelty here. ‘The constant change of programme that the Azzalli management has been ‘com- pelled to make is a lively annoyance to all concerned—artists, public and manage- ment also, and to a certaln extent it ab- solves the public from the duty of sup- poTting so uncertain a quantity. But what of the artists in such a cace and entirely worthy, clever folk as these Azzall sing- ers have shown th Ives to be? It's a nice question. They have dome il in not presenting some of the promised novel- ties of thelr repertoire. of thirty-five operas, “La Boheme,” for example, and others unfamiliar hers, but it is granted that circumstances have been cruelly against them throughout the whole en- ga, em‘en}:‘ o-night a good house seems assu; for the “Faust’ performance with ’nrx'}‘! conl-Bruni as Marguerite. v .
