SMITH, BESU — Y OF SINGE TIVOLI BEING DEPRIVED OF THE SERVICES WHOSE RECENT MARRIAGE HAS RS. HE patrons of the Tivoll will no | longer hear the dulcet voice or | gaze upon the perfect figure of | Fannle Birch, one of the pret- tiest and cleverest members of the chorus disporting on its boards. The young lady is now Mrs. George A. Smith, and has settled down to domestic life. The news of the wedding became known | yesterday, when the bride visited the Tiv- | oli to call upon her former associates ang | incidentally displayed on her Meft hand a diamond ring and the plain golden band | which proclaims the wearer is a wedded | wife. | Early in the past week Manager Leahy, ! | of the Tivoll, was asked by Miss Birch for a week’s vacation. On the 18th of the month a quiet wedding cerenmtony was performed at the home of the bride's par- ents, and a short honeymoon trip to Los Angéles and the Southland followed. + The Tivoll management received word of the marriage a few days ago, and also the request of the bride that a life-long en- gagement prevented the carryimg out of her engagement at the theater. The happy groom who has distanced all competitors ,for the hand of fhe pretty actress is connected with the business staff of a morning paper, and it will be news to his many friends to learn that he is a benedict. The young couple are now living in a cosily fitted flat on Stanyan street.

Fifty men ! interested in this industry have signified their intention to join. There are probably 200 in the State who are | eligible. They are the expert men | at the head of large concerns that| turn out butter by the ton. In the East there are such associations that hold exhibitions of dairy products and award medals and prizes. A committee has issued a call for the | first convention. The members are H. F. | Lyon, Alameda; J. H. Severin, Modesto; | George E. Newman, Lompoc; E. H. Zim- | merman, Watsonville, and Willlam H. Roussell, San Francisco. The purposes of | the organization are set forth by.the com- mittee as being the elevation of the but- termen’s industry, to conduct a butter | makers' employment bureau, to hold con- | ventions for the exchange of ideas and methods, to conduct exhibitions of butter, to act in union In the butter-maker's wel. fare and to secure better compensation | for services. Willlam H. Saylor, at 114/ California street, is one of the prominent movers for organization. The first convention will be without pro- gramme for the reason that all the time will be taken up in perfecting the organ- ization and outlining its future policy and work. WANTS FOUR SPADES PLACED BEHIND BARS Father and Three Sons to Be Arrested on Complaint of a Neighbor. J.

George and James S{mde are charged with battery, Willlam with malicious mischiet and John, the father, with disturbing the Dpeace. Shortly after midnight the three sons went to Laumeister’s residence and raised a disturbance.

Brown Grabs a Robber’s Revolver, but the Lat- ter Escapes. i There has been a lull In the depreda- tions by footpads for some days and it was thought that fear of detectlon had made them seek other fields, but another |xase was reported to the police yesterday morning in which a lone footpad operated. The victim was C. Brown, 423 Turk street, who is emploved in the wholesale warehouse of Murphy, Grant & Co. He returned home shortly before 1 o'clock yvesterday morning and as he was-about to step into his doorway he was confront- ed by a man who pointed a revolver at his head and ordered him to throw up his hands. “‘Now give me your watch and money,” sald the robber. “Ypu had better take them,” replied Brown. The robber took possession of Brown's gold watch and chain and proceeded to &0 through his pockets for money. Brown watched his chance, and when the robber was off hie guard for an in- st#nt, dexterously relieved him of his re- volver. The robber fled and Brown firea four shots at him in rapld succession, but none seemed to take effect. Brown went into the grocery on the corner and told of his experlence. minutes later Policeman Roediger, who lives in the neighborhood, entered the grocery and the robbery was reported to him. “Roediger notified police headquar- ters and yesterday Detective Balley was detailed on the case. He saw Brown, who was unable to give an accurate descrip- tion of the robber, but handed the detect- ive the revolver as a possible clew. Brown said his watch was a_valuable one and he is anxious to get it back, but the chances are against it.

Bunker and wife have re- turned from a journey around the“world. They left San Francisco twenty-two months ago, and during their absence traveled ihirty-five . thousand miles. Heulth attended them cn il thefi jour- neys by land and sea. | Mr. Bunker having adjusted his busi- hess atfairs for u long trip, started out to see the world, and e=peciuily tne world of the Urient. Accompanied by ms wife, he journeyed by rail rrom Vladivostok 81X nundred miles northeriy to the Amoor Hiver. ‘inence by sieamer up the Amoor and & trioutary stream ne traveled six- teen hunorea mides. tie traveied six days {and mgns m Sicera ou the post road Im a venle drawn vy horses, arriving &t irkutsMin une torm. ‘Ine rest of the journey by rail to Moscow and St. Fetersburg’ wes interesting, but not ex- citing, In nis travels in Aslatic regions tribu- tary to the Pacific Mr. Bunker studied the currents of commerce and the proba- ble benefits to San Krancisco, springing from the growth and development of Rus- sla in Asia. He saw many things to ex- cite his wonder and surprise. \When the | time comes he will report his observations to the San Francisco Chamber of Com- merce. \ bpesking of trade expansion, he says: i "I am in favor of subsidles for building | ships and establishing steamship lines. | | care rot who makes the money, so long as we get the cammerclal advantages within our reach. The Spanish war was in one sense a great business investment. Buropean natons had no adequate notion of the strength and vigor of the United | States until the operations of the cam- paign opened their eyes. An Englishman remarked to me: ‘Your President went ! | to war in & business way that we cannot unders¢tand. He ordered. the army and navy to deliver so many victories and they were delivered promptly.’ Mr. Bunker loitered in London for eight months and made no haste in his travel through Continental Europe, He collected fragments of buliding materfal from an- clent edifices and had the specimens so collected shipped to the University of Cal- ifornia, where the study of the chemistry of s(rl:#tulal material may be leisurely pursued® Mr. Bunker paid for the pack- ing and also the frelght charges to Liv- erpool. One of the ships belonging to John D, Spreckels Bros. & Co. is convey- ing the specimens free of cost to the uni- versity from Liverpool to San Francisco. Mr. Bunker was the founder of the San | Francisco Daily Report. He learned of the paper’s demise before he returned to the city. He is convinced that the penny | proposition as applied to journalism wiil not succeed in San Francisco until the city has direct connection with the East by four or five railway lines. When he sold the Report to the Scripps League he expressed doubt as to the ability of the new management to achleve success on the penny basis. CHRISTMAS TREE !'OB- BAY CITY WHEELMEN Annual Holiday Festivities at the Golden Gate Avenue Club- house. The Bay City Wheelmen held their Christmas tree last evening at the club- house on Golden Gate avenue. The rooms were crowded early in the evening, and until late last night members kept coming | and going, getting a present from the tree, a bumper of punch from the dining room and then joining the chorus beside the piano. George B. Stangenberger dealt out the presents. They were trinkets suggestive of some personal uliarity, some event or some deed of interest or amusement connected with the member honored. Then followed a programme of entertainment in which Austin Kanzle, A. Fisher, Ben Renard, Henry L. Day, nk Smith, Ar- | chie Reld and others took part. The clos- | ing of the programme did not by any means end the evening, however, for when the list had been run through, the mem- bers improvised more and more, and until far into the night the clubhouse rang with the laughter and the merry choruses that shook the cellings. ———— Letters for Soldiers The branch of the W. C. T. U. in charge of the work among soldiers and sailors on this coast helped to make Christmas a day to be remembered by five hundred soldiers in the hospitals and barracks of the Presidio. It has been the custom for some time for the ladles to write letters to soldiers and saflors—letters of hope and comfort and advice—and for the purposes of Christmas members of the union all over the State were asked to write and forward letters to the headquarters in this city. Five hundred,letters came in, and Into each envelope with the letter was put a handkerchief and a Christmas card, and these each with a little bunch of flowers were taker out to the Presidio by s2veral of the ladies of the union and vrre distributed. —_——— . Hurt in Car Collision. The coilision between the California street cars on Tuesday night, whereby several people were severely shaken up, was due to a defective brake on one of the cars. A line of hose had been stretched across the track by the firemen who were fighting the flames In Ladd’s gunstore, and the first car down stopped a few feet away. e second car was not far behind and, owing to the dense smoke, the grip- man could not see that the car In front was_stopped until within a few vards of it. He tried to set the brakes, but they refused to work., and the collision foi- lowed. A Mrs. Campbell of Oakland was thrown to the floor of the car and had SHAKESPEARE'S ENGLISH KINGS.

For Richard II, unlike Henry VI, enjoys his kingly place. No other of Shakespeare's kings has so fine a feeling for royalty or such fine words to voice his feeling in. Unlike the kings we have hitherto mentioned, ichard rules by divine right and undisputed suc- | cesslon, for he is direct inheritor of the | eacred blood of Edward III. From his boyhood he has been surrounded with flat- ! terers, wno filed his ears with praises of his state. Even Jonn of Gaunt, the relic of a more heroic age, speaks of him as God's substitute, his deputy, anointed in his sight. But it was this very conti- dence in_ his unchallenged authority that proved the ruin of Richard. He was not | naturally cruel or tyrannical, but he for- | got the duties of royalty in dwelling over- | much upon its outer forms. He kept too | great a court and gave too liberal largess, und when his coffers were drained he pulled the Commans with grievous taxes | and laid heavy fines upon the nobles. He stopped his ears to counsel ‘and grew fu- | rious when it was thrust upon him. And s0, when the storm broke, he had nothing but words to meet it with. He threatens Bolingbroke with God’'s vengeance on usurpers and proclaims with lofty confl- | dence that Not all the water In the rough, rude sea Can wash the balm from an anointed king. But at the first news of his cnemies’ suc- cesses he cries to his friends: For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground, And tell sad stories of the death of kings; How some have been deposed, some slain In war. He fairly revels in appreciation of the pathos of his fall; he compares his past career to that of glistering Phaeton, and announces that he is ready to exchange His subjects for a pair of carved saints, And his large kingdom for a little grave. He plays his part in the great abdication scene with perfect grace, and retires to prison, hugging his sorfow as the dearest possession left him. But even yet he has not learned the stern lesson of fife. He is no Henry VI, to live content within a cage; he broods over his wasted life, curses Bolingbroke, strikes his keeper, and dies in a flerce outburst of useless courage agairst his murderers. Henry IV is the very opposite of Rich- ard. He has no claim upon the throne ex- cept the claim of a strong man in a weak land. He is essentially a man of deeds, not words, though he knows when and how to speak. From the beginming his hopes are fixed upon the throne, not from ary merely selfish ambition, but with something of the skillful pilot’s eagerness to seize the helm from the hand of the madman who is driving the ship upon the rocks. Each act is calculated with refer- ence to this end steadily held before him. He wins the hearts of the Commons by judicious mingling of courtesy and re- serve; he gains the affections of the no- bles by appearing as__their champion against Mowbray, the King’s instrument in the murder of the Duke of Gloster. | When he invades England at the head of an armed force he is careful to explain that he comes only to claim his flghts, and it Ts not till the general voice of the nation summons him to the throne that he reveals his long-hidden ambitions. There is much to admire in Henry's char- acter, and perhaps his finest quality is his care for his kingdom. He crushes his old limbs once more into armor to stamp out a rebellion of unruly Lords, he par- dons and condemns, not out of personal malice, but in accordance with a wise policy that makes for peace, and the one fear of his old age is that under the wild rule of his hudnronf son his poor king- dom will turn a wilderness again. But after all he is not Shakespeare’s model of the perfect klni, There is too much of the leaven of selfish ambition in him, too great a partiality in his policy for by- | answers his father’s rebukes | reverently and promises to redeem his | faults on the heads of his father's ene- est and most genial of loose livers and lawbreakers, surely the most dangerous of intimates for a gay young Prince. But Henry knows himself and knows his company. He has no mind for the stiff ceremonial of his father's court, and he has the English love, testified in many an old song and story, for jolly company and rough fun. If he takes part in a | hishway robbery it is only for the saks | pf & jest upon Sir John, and he scrupu- lously makes good the stolen monor o gravely and mies. He keeps his vow, and the battla of Shrewsbury is the turning point of his | career. In the second part of “King Henry IV" we find him but once in Falstaff’s com- pany, and then under circumstances so overwhelmingly amusing as to excuse him utterly. And this is his last freak of youth. When we see him next it is by his father's deathbed. He does not look forward to the crown with joy or pride, but assumes it gravely as his due with the solemn resolve to guard it against the world and to transmit it to his son un- impaired. So before he ascends the throne the character of Henry has been molded by mingling with thé world, and learning at fi hand the realities of life. In the play that bears his name there is littla Or no evolution of character, but on the other hand there is a very elaborate por- trayal of @is kingly qualitles. Almost ev- ery virtue is ascribed to him, yet he is no impossible hero, but a very human man and Englishman. In the first place | he is possessed of a quick Intelligence, and has the faculty of mastering what- ever subject comes before him. Bishops | wonder at his discourse in divinity, and he unties the gordian knots of statecraft as easily as his garter. He has a keen insight into the hearts of men and knows how to choose a servans; the upright Judge who had sent him to prison in his wild-oats days is retained near his per- son when Falstaff is banished ten miles from the court. He {5 deliberate and pru- | dent in counsels and swift as lightning | in their execution. His will is dauntless, but his temper is sunny and serene. Tha wild gayety of his early vears has soft- | ened into a genial humor that wins him all hearts, and below his humor Hes a deep religious feeling, not the other-world- | liness of the. mystic but the simple plety of the soldier who prays to the god of ! battles for success and ascribes his vie- tory to God's hand. Around Heénry rally the representatives of the British king- | doms—Jamy the Scotchman, MacMorris | the Irish engineer and Fluellen the hot- | headed Welshman. The createst nobles | of England accompany him to France, | and York, who had y treason against Henry's the forefront of the battle at Agincourt. | Henry is the id6l of his people. Only | once does treason raise its head against | him, and this one attempt he crushes in- stantly with such an awful mingling of wrath and sorrow that the traitors break down before him and go repentant to their doom. Henry seeks no revenge for the attempt on his person, but—and this a characteristically Elizabethan touch— treason toward the sovereign is consid- ered as an attack on the nation, princes, peers and subjects. And those who have sought the ruin of the realm are deliv- ered up to suffer the penalty of her laws. | _It has been pointed out with truth that | Henry V is a limited and finite hero. He | has not Hamlet's capacity for thoughts that wander .through eternity, nor Othel- 1o's sealike ebb and flow of passion. But | as a master of life he is infinitely beyond | either Hamlet or Othello, and it is as a | master of life that Shakespeare shows us | the perfect king. Not of his own life only, but of the life of thousands whose weilbeing depends on his right action. | The great scenes on the eve of Agin- | court should be read and reread, and stu- | died line by line by every one who would rasp Shakespeare's conception of the gom leader of men—the king who is at orce the heart and head of the nation he rules, leads, inspires and represents.
