When the case was called the Harbor Commissioners filed their an- swer to the petition for the writ and de- fended their refusal to pay the amount named on the ground that the petitioners, in violation of the State law, worked their men over eight hours a day, and in such cases the law compels the board to with- hold pavment. On ‘June 19 last the petitioners were awarded the contraet to furnish the bulld- ng at a cost of $2750. It was agreed that the work was to be paid for in full within thirty-five days after its completion. The contractors were pald $950 on account, and then the board, on the ground that the petitioners had violated the terms of their contract. refused to pay the balance due.

It is prettily cos- tumed, the stage setting is distinctly above the average, and the opera goes with unusual snap and vim. The orches- tra is happily handled by the new leader, Paul Steindorff, who has a satisfying grip on the baton, and not for many months have the choruses, solo accompaniments and intermezzos gone with such admir- able spirit and precision. The Tivoli management has indeed been fortunate in securing so able a leader.

Alf C. eelan is admirable as the meddlesome apprentice of Polycop. Planchette. Ed- ward Webb is an excellent Duc de Boulil- lon, the mercurial amorist a la militaire, and Arthur Boyce is well heard as Raoul, the tenor nephew of the Duke. Of the women Annie Meyers is a chic and sprightly Mme. Polycop—demure, also, as befits the part. Maude Willlams sings sweetly the role of Lucile d'Herb- and looks charming, and Bernice is _a stately and_ melodious e de Montbazon. The Don Giovan- catalogue song of Hartman is much en- joved, but might be shortened a little to advantage, and a very clever arrange- ment of the “Mermaid and the Whale" song and chorus gives much _pleasure. Some of the ensembles show the welght of the new hand, more particularly the cleverly worked out finale to the second act. The Sembrich Opera Company at the Grand Opera-house has experienced a slight setback in the temporary indispo- sition of the prima donna, Mme. Sembrich. “La Traviata,” that was to be glven last evening, has had to be postponed until next Monday night, to allow of a suffi- clent rest for the singer, who will, how- ever, certainly appear on Saturdav after. noon next in “Don Pasquale.” The old Donizetti opera has not been heard here for many years, and Mme. Sembrich's Norina is awaited with much pleasurable anticipation. Next week’s programme wia_ be: onday eyening. ‘Traviata': Wednesday evening, “Lucia.” and a Sat- urday matinee, for which the opera has not yet been announced. s #'ie La Loie Fuller is in the last nights of her successful engagement at the Colum- bia Theater, and her charming terpsicho- rean efforts are still delighting good houses. “The Highwayman’ goes better than it did, and will give place next week to the Frohman production of “The Little Minister.” a dramatization of the novel of the name by J. M. Barrie himself. “The Little Minister” had an exceptional run in New York. and the play is said to be one of the prettiest and wholesomest plays now on the stage. .. ““The Telephone Girl"” is still at the old stand, the California Theater, and still delighting the multitudes.

There was a housewarming last even- ing at the splendid new home of the San Francisco Soclal Settlement, 8 South Fark. The house was crowded with peo- rle prominent in social circles, or the business world and in philanthropie work. There was a short programme consist. ing of 'brief addresses by President Ben- Jamin Ide Wheeler, Dr. Bradford Leavitt of the First Unitarlan Church, Dr. Doro- thea Moore, head worker, and Frank J. Symmes, one ‘of the directors of the in. stitute. It is through the liberality of Mrs Phebe Hearst that the Settlement Club is to occupy the handsome new building. The present settlement has grown out of the San Francisco Boys' Club, which had its headquarters at 84 South Park, and at Sixth and Bryant streets. The club was organized twelve vears ago. The begin- ning was extremely unpretentious, but the Frosress. which has been a ual one, ias proved more than satisfactory to the workers connected with the club. The club’s new home is an_ extremel. handsome one. Tt is a three-story build- ing and contains an industrial depart- ment for boys and young men, a domes- tic department for girls and young wom- en, a large gymnasium, stage, auditori- um, bath rooms and several handsome re- ception rooms, residence rooms and designed especially for club meetings.

The two unfortunates were strangers to | each other, and whichever one was last to cut short his existence was probably unaware that the lifeless body of another unfortunate lay on the ground close by. Theodore Enderle. a grocer at the cor- | ner of Bush and Buchanan streets. and who resided in Oakland, sought oblivion in the poison cup for a reason still to be | learned. The other victim, whose body is yet un- identified, after having written a note in which he sald that illness and lack of employment drove him to despair, blew out his brains with a pistol bullet. He signed the message “Papa.” but it is ad- dressed to no one and leaves no clew as to_his identity. | Yesterday afternoon, mounted soldiers stumbled upon the body of Enderle. Be- side it lay a bottle of carbolle acid and a glass from which the lethal fluld had been drunk. There was no letter giving | a reason fqr the man's rash act, and his | | relatives are mystified. A short time ago Enderle purchased a grocery store at the | corner of Bush and Buchanan from Smeckpepper & Herzberg. and has since been conducting the business. He had | plenty of money and owned considerable property in_this city and across the bay. He was a German, 42 years of age. As some of the soldfers passed on they came upon the body of the unknown man, with a pistol arfl a note beside it. The remains lay near the McDowell road and were but a few rods from where Enderle’s | Dody lay. The note read as follows: I am out of employment and sick. I can get no rest day or night. My dear family, forgive me; I cannot help it. Try to live Well without me. Good-by. Coughman, tho Pad fellow who worked with me. is the cause of it all.

He came to Oakland from San | Francisco, where he formerly kept a gro- | | cery and saloon at the corner of Ninth | and Mission streets. About three years | ago he went to Alaska, but did not re- | main long. Monday he went tp San Fran- cisco and opened a new store in the West- ern Addltion, San Francisco. He was re- puted to be quite wealthy. Enderle was married and his wife and two children survive him. Mrs. Enderle went to San Francisco to-day to see the new store. She had not yet been heard from at a late hour to-night. Deceased was a man of cheerful disposition and temperate habits. His home life was happy and his business affairs prosperous. —_————————— SEEKING THE MAN TO SUCCEED HARNEY Major P.'J.
