The occasion s celebrated with a gala performance, | nd it is doubtful if the historic playhouse | ever held a more distinguished gathering | of representative Frenchmen. The Chief | of State and Madame Loubet occupled the Presidential box, while the King of the Relgians made a !;ledxl trip from Brus- seis to attend the function, engaging the Baignore, formerly belonging to his uncle, the Duc @ Aumale. M. Waldeck-Rous- seau, the Premier, members of the Cab- | inet, and all the leading lights in politics, literature and the drama, were assembled | within the famous edifice. United States | Bmbassador Porter and his daughter sat in_the Embassadorial box. The programme consisted of the fourth act of Corneille’s “Le Cid,” the third act of Moliere’s “Femmes Savantes,” con- cluding with a prologue on the reornln& of the theater written by Richepin. ounit-Sully, Salvain, Coquelin Cadet, and Mesdames Dudley (who d from the fire when Mile. Henrfot perished), Bariotti and Bartet took leading roles. The traditional ceremony which attends very historical performance at the Theatre Franeais was a most picturesque scene. The stage represented a baronial hall, with two stone benches on either side. The bust of Moliere was decorated with the tri-color and a golden wreath. All the members of the troupe, attired n scarlet and ermine, entered two by two, | howed to the audience and placed a laurel wreath around the bust, to which they then bowed, afterward taking their places orf the benches. Mounit-Sully, in the role f Doyen of the company; Mme. Bariotti, a= the Muse of Comedy, and Mme. Bartet, the Muse of Tragely, then spoke an elo- quent poetical prologue and the curtain fell to the strains of the ‘“Marselilaise.” The theater has undergone little struc- tural alteration, but numerous improve- ments have been inf luced, such as a new fireproof curtain, better staircase ar- rapgements and safely exits for both the public and the artists in case of fire. One of the principal innovations is an elevator. The auditorium is tastefully decorated in gold and rich Houdon’s statue of | Voltaire, which was nearly destroyed in | the fire owing to ihe difficulty of remov- ing it, is now placed on wheels. Tapestry from the famous Gobelin factory, repre- senting the crowning of Moliere by cele- brated members eof the Comedie Fran- caise, which'It has taken several years to execute, hung in the foyer for the first eime to-night. During the entr’acte President Loubet nferred upon Mounit-Sully the decora- xm of an officer of the Legion of Honor.

An Office of Great Power and as Old as English Liberties. The office of Speaker of the House of Commons, says the London Spectator, is nearly as f%old as English liberties. The chair of Sir Thomas ilore has been filled many times by men who played a sound- | ing part in the struggle for the recogni- tion of Parliament. Sometimes the Speak- er might be the creature of the King, byt more often he was the real voice of ihe Commons., His dutles have alway twofold, for while he was the chairman of the House, the interpreter -of its rules he was also the reprcsentative of the House, who demanded from the King a recognition of its vileges, and acted as the medium of communication with the crown. By virtue of his office_he is the first Commoner of kngland. He i8 tha type and center of the jealously guarded prerogatives of the Commons and, as such, the guardian of English freedom rd Chancellor, compared to him, has very limited and ineffectual powers, since he sits outside the House, has no contrcl of debate and no authority on points of order. The Speaker uf the Commons, on the other hand, is tha very type of the House over which he presides; he kee) order, and while professing himself the very humble servant of the members, has an almost despotic power over a refrac- tory individual. His presence in the chalr is the guaranty for freedom of debate. Only once do the journals of the House record an invasion of that right. In Jan- uary, 1642, we read that “‘his Majesty came into the House and took Mr. Speaker’s chair. ‘Gentlemen, I am sorry to have the occasion to come unto you.” And then the record breaks off, and we may draw a moral from its silence. ut the, duties of the Speaker to-day are much enlar from the time when Addington or ners Sutton exercised his mild rule. Thensihe procedure of the House was vague and unsettled, there were few means of dealing summari'y with offenders and of curtailing a cap- tious debate. Sometimes the Speaker was a man such as Onslow, whose word was law, because for thirty-ihree vears he had :}: confidence of the T‘"’ but more en he was an easy-going gentleman with no_effective machinery of control save In the last resort. But the efforts of Mr. and his friends made inevit- able a new and sterner regime. To-duy the Speaker can allow or disallow the closure as he thinks fit; he can refuse to put to the House any motion for adjourn. ment which he thinks vexatious; he can curtail any speech which seems to him to be wandering from the question at is- sue. In addition, he has an absolute au- thority on points of etiquette and if his is disputed he can name the of- fender to the House and have him sus- pended or otherwisc punished. ————— In Franklin County, Missouri, the day a couple bearing the same name %2:: married.

The wedding was solemnized by Justice Quinn on the 27th of last month. The to Oakland, procured a license and were made husband and wife before the unsus- pecting parents of the girl had any knowl- edge of the affair. The complaint filed to-day says that the daughter returned home immediately aft- er the ceremony was performed and that she and Carli have never lived together. The day after the marriage Mrs. Lipp- kowski came to Oakland to investigate the affair. She was enraged to find that her worst fears were true and that a license had been issued to the pair, in which Carli had stated under oath that his intended bride tas 18 yvears old. This statement, Mrs. Lippkowski said, was perjury, as her daughter was only 16 years of age. She at once declared her inten- tion of prosecuting her. unwelcome son- in-law for felony, and promised to land him in San Quentin if there was any law to reach him. At this juncture a wealthy uncle of Carli came forward and sided with the young people. He sald that they should not be separated, nor should his nephew be convicted of perjury if it took his en- tire fortune to prevent it. Apparently this unexpected opposition has changed the Lippkowskis’ plans. The criminal charge has not been presented and a civil one is substituted. The complaint states that neither of the plaintiffs gave consent to the marriage; that their daughter is but 18 years of age, and that therefore the marriage was ille- nulment. The parents say that Carll has no means nor income, and that he is utterly unable to support himself, to say nothing of a wife, and that he knew they were opposed to their daughter having any- thing to do with him. The Lippkowskis conduct a wayside sa- Toon: at 42 Clement aventie, -dfol ng the carhouse of the Sutro Railre ‘om- pany, in this city. It is much frequented by the grave diggers from the City Ceme- tery and teamsters engaged in hauling sand for grading lots in the immediate vicinity. Caroline, the heroine of the adventure, is a second daughter. She appears to be about the age her parents claimed, but lhn the ways of the wofld is wise beyond er years, 'I'hz groom is spoken of very highly by those who have met him, and despite the mother’s interference in the matrimonial affair the daughter says she loves him et. yCa.ro!lna was working with a family on Pierce street at the time the marriage oc- curred. She gave up her place at the time and has since returned to her owni family. Carll is employed as a bartender at the Olive House, 612 California street. “Both he and his wife are under age.

This announcement, together with a signed statement from Mr. and Mrs. Mc- Coy will be printed in to-morrow’s Post, & member of whose staff, B. H. Benton, once the manager of McCoy, effected the reconciliation. McCoy and his wife are now in New York and a re-marrfage is on the sched ule. In his statement McCoy takes back all the mean things he has said about his | wife and expresses gratitude at the turn things have taken, while M McCoy thanks “God for his blessings,” and for the removal of any stain that her hus- band’s charges may have left upon her character. The*way in which the reconcillation was effected was simple. After her divorce and McCoy's flight to London Mrs. Me- Coy came to this city to work at a local theater. While here her husband's ex- manager saw her several times, learning that she still loved the Hoosier gladiator, and regretted their trouble. This Ire sent to McCoy in London. MeCoy was then planning a trip to South Africa, but changed his mind and returned home. Barly in the present week he came to this city, where the matter of effecting a reconcillation was brought up. He still loved her, he said, and expressed a desire to fix things up, if she was willing to meet him half way. This was easil ar- ranged and on Thursday he'left for New | York, “where per arrangement he called on Mrs. McCoy at _her house, where all differences were forgotten.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—Tom Sharkey will soon undergo a painful operation for what 18 generally known In sporting par- lance as ‘“‘cauliffower” ear. That is, the ear is twice its natural size and still growing. The right one is thus affeted. The disfigurement resulted from his fight with Gus Ruhlin at Coney Island last spring. Sharkey, who depends upon re- celving hard blows to deliver one in re- turn, stopped most of the punches during that affair with his head and ear, until the latter was crushed nearly into pulp. It now hangs to one side. Sharkey's hear- ing is also, threatened. and he s afraid he will become deaf if he does not attend to the ear. He hopes that after the opera tion the ear will be close to his head and not extend to one side, as it does now. Sharkey is not the only pugilist suffers from “caulifiower” ear. George Dixon, Matty Matthews. Jimmy Handler, Kid Broad, Young Griffo and Kid La- vigne are on the list. | 1 who GAMES OF SOUTHERN BASEBALL LEAGUE Moskiman Joins One of the Los An- | geles Teams and Is Well Reeeived.
