Oliver Goldsmith” Pleases Columbia AHEH A EHAS[ Audience---“ Northern Lights” Arrest of Ng Ah Poy, Takes at Alcazar. Hired Assassin of*the . After the horrible banalities of “Quo Suey Smgs. Vadis” it is a pleasure to find the stage of the Columbla Theater once more held by a play that is strong without being | coarse. emotional without being senti- mental. Such a play is Augustus Thomas' “Oliver Goldsmith,” presented last night by Stuart Robson and his excellent com- a vantage and he acted-with rare skill and force. George P. Webster as Dr. Sidney Sherwood, the villain in the piece, was in his element, but in the final scene was in- clined to rant too much. Bdwin T, Emery as Wallace Gray was clever, and the other male characters were well sustained by Howard Scott, Lester Walter, Clarence Arper, Clarence Montaine, Frank Opper- man and others.

A powerful Russian melodrama entitled “For Her Sake” is up for a good week's of a gentleman’'s house for an inn: this, of course, is the well-known incident upon which “‘She Stoops to Conquer” is found- {ed. In the Thomas play the Incident is transferred from Goldsmith's vouth to his manhood and serves as an easy intro- duction to the second act, wherein we are shown a rehearsal of ‘‘She Stoops to Con- duer” on the stage of Covent Garden Theater. This act is the best in the glay and contains more than one scepe of deli- clous comedy, the best being that between Garrick (Mr. Henshaw) and Katherine Horneck (Miss Mortimer), although the Coleman-Garriek discusslon about the faults of “She Stoops to Conquer” is scarcely less diverting. The serious ele- ment in this act is supplied by the love of | Goldsmith for Mary Horneck, which leads him to knock down the villain, Kenrick, Who has insuited her. The third act shows us Goldsmith in his garret; his arrest for ebt; his deliverance through the gener- osity of Miss Horneck and his diffident | confession of his love for her.

Fischer’s Concert House. The fourth act of “‘Ernani” was splen- didly sung by Signorina Sylvia Puerari and Signors Pio Faccl and Cesare Ales- sandroni at Fischer's Concert-house last night. “Las Ratas,” a Spanish terzetti, proved a most unigue piece of musicai composition and was capitally rendered by Benorita Beatrice Franco, Jose Torres Ovando and Antonio Vargas. All of the Vvocalists were heard in solos and the en- tire programme was the best heard here for months.

Another fine production of the opera season at the Tivoli Opera-house is that of “Alda,” given this week with the new principals, Barbareschi and Castellano. The soprano. has a clear and beautiful voice, of rarely fine quality, and sings and acts the name role In a grave and gracious | fashion and with much dramatic intensity. | Her lower tones, less resonant and full | than the upper voice, were frequently lost | to_hcaring last night in the piano pas- | sages through the careless predominance | of the accompaniment, which was notice- | &ble, not only with her work, but more or less throughout the entire evening. It Wwas rather an off night with the orchestra generally. Garrick was a also Ma- 6rpheum. Bert Howard can play the piano and do it funnily, too. His imitation of Pade- | rewski is one of the most side-splitting burlesques on the stage, and his partner, Miss Leoma Bland, sang a doll song in a style that is simply inimitable. They are a first-class team and improve upon ac- quaintance. The farce for this week is “The High Toned Burglar,” an original production by James F. Dolan, that keeps the parquet | and gallery continually on the laugh. The roles are sustained by Mr. Dolan as the High-Toned Burglar, T. R. Curtis as the Low-Toned Burglar and Ida Lenharr | as Helen Trailer. It's a nonsensical skit, but it has caught on all right. Another of the noveltles for this week is Prelle’s talking dogs—an ingenious com- bination of training and ventriloquism— something altogether original and fetch- ing.

WHITE SALOONKEEPER Find Him Unconscious in a Base- ment and Relieve Him of All His Money. Carl Trefz, who conducts a saloon at scious in a basement of a house on Stock- ton street, between Clay and Washington, early yesterday morning. He was re- moved to the Receiving Hosplital, where it was found that his skull was fractured. After recovering consciousness Trefz | claimed that he had been attacked by two men, who, after knocking him senseless, robbed him of $120. After the case was reported to Captain Seymour he detalled Detective Tom Gibson to make a thorough investigation. Going ta Trefz's house he closely questioned him, but failed to get any information from him except lel%e had been robbed. Trefz was unable to describe his two assaildnts, but thought that one was tall and the other short. During his investigation Gibson learned | that ‘Trefz had left his saloon Sunday | evening and visited several “joints” oh | Barbary Coast. When he started for his home he was very drunk.

LEADS TO 'JENNIE McKOWN’S DEATH TWO ARRESTS Autopsy Develop§ Malpractice and Drs. Huntington and Hill Are Placed’ * Behind Bars. Drs. R. Addison Huntington of 547 Fol- som street and J. D. Hill of 1116 Sutter street were yesterday arrested on com- plaint of Coroner Cole for causing the death of Jennie McKown. Both men were locked up in the City Prison and will be detained until after the inquest. Coromer Cole will then be asked to swear to com- plaints against them for murder. Huntington admitted to Captain of De- tectives Seymour last night that he was well' acquainted with the unfortunate pany with her. Yesterday morning an autopsy was erformed on the body by Morgue urgeon Leland and the Coroner, and the most, convincing evidence was secured to show that the dead girl was in a delicat condition at the time the operation wi performed and that the physiclans had made a bungling job. The accused doctors stated to Coroner Cole that Miss McKown came to Dr. Huntington's office last Sat- urday evening, accompanied by her sis- ter, Mrs. Belle McCottrey of 2711% Sutter street, and stated that she was suffering from a complaint requiring an operation, and that they were not aware of the true condition of the girl until they had started in to operate. The autopsy r:‘fort is to the effect that death was caused by “‘colapse, due to an operation performed: contributing cause, administration of chloroform.” Coroner Cole said yesterday that Drs. Huntington and Hill had committed an impropriety in operating upon the young woman in Dr. Hill's office. He said she should have been taken to a hospital or sanitarium and there operated upon in the presence of competent medical witnesses. Such a procedure weuld have saved the operators from the suspicion that they knew what alled Miss McKown. Dr. Huntington graduated as a physi- cian last July, and he has not had much experience in operations of a delicate na- tare. Miss McKown was a stenographer and only 21 years old. Mrs. Mary Rhein, a sis- ter of hers, committed suicide on May 8, 1899, by taking carbolic acld while tem- porarily demented by sickness. Last evening Captain Seymour obtained complete statements from the accused doctors. Huntington, who is a graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, said that Miss McKown had been under his treatment for about a month. She went to his office last Saturday afternoon.
