In the promiscuous mixup that forth- with occurred there was little to mark the wreck save Gorman's blood-stained linen and Gorman himself. A hurry call to the harbor police brought Sergeant Brophy and Officer O'Callahan, who tenderly bore all that was left of the bad man to_the station. With the aid of sponges and an ortment of bandages that hid his features from sight Gorman was installed for the night in the most commodious cell of Sergeant Brophy's O’'Connor disappeared during the excite- ment and spent the night peacefully in his hammock aboard ship.

At the conclusion of Tucker’'s remarks Admiral Melville’s face was a study. The | old man was too much of a sailor to show his_emotions, but he was human after all, | and one by cne tears trickled down his faca as_he accepted the modest little | token.

After the services a breakfast was served to those invited, and with the hearty con- gratulations of their friends the sisters were launched upon their new career. | The two women who were yesterday | “professed” have taken the names of Sis- | ter Gertrude Paular and Sister Jane Natali. The first named was known for- | merly ‘as Mrs. Gertrude Ames and has | been a resident of San Francisco for many years. She is also the first Sister Superior of the Order of St. Savior. The order is distinctly Californian. The two have passed; their novitlate in the community of St. John the Baptist, a New York institution, and for the past six years have been dili- gent students in practical philanthropies. The distinctive garb is of black, with long, flowing sleeves, white hood and col- | lar, with a black veil that is seldom thrown back. A girdle is worn about the waist, and suspended from the neck is a large ‘silver cross. The first work under- taken by the new sisters will be to estab- lish a church home for girls.

These shoes are of a high grade, such as have been sold right along in all the leading shoe stores | for $6 and $6 a pair. Of course, there are some $3 50 jadies’ and men’s shoes among them. However, the purpose of this ar- ticle is to let you know that there will be shoeg sold for ladies, men and children— up-to-date, the very best of make, good material, vet the price will suit.

MILLER AGAIN IN 600D VOICE| weading o mes Opens in “Heartsease” |+ — at the Columbia Theater. “First Born” Revived at the Alcazar—Fine Bill at - Orpheum. So often has ‘‘Heartsease” been given here that probably two-thirds of the audi- ence at the Columbia Theater last night knew the play almost line by line and situation by situation. Their interest therefore was chiefly to ascertain whether Mr. Miller had recovered from the throat affection that troubled him last summer | and whether the company he has brought is competent properly to support him in the plays he proposes to give. It is pleas- ant to be able to answer in the affirma- tive both the queries implied in this state- ment. Mr. Miller’s voice seems entirely restored by the rest he took last autumn, and his company, though not quite equal last year's, averages well enough to make the performance smooth ang effective. Of that last year's company—the best I have ever seen in San Francisco—only Miss Elliston returns. Her face and voice are pleasing as ever, while her power of characterization has improved. As to Miss Rockwell, it is no disparagement to her to say that she is not a Miss Anglin, for Miss Anglin is one of the best half- dozen actresses in the United States. Miss ! Rockwell, though a young lady of intelli- gence and charm, has not risen quite as high as that yet. Miss Eustace as Lady Neville seemel to me a great improve- ment upon Mrs. Boucicault. Mr. Miller's ucting needs no_description or commendation from me. Suffice it to say that I cannot imagine how anybody could play Eric Temple better than he; indeed, it is this fatal excellence which has condemned him to play this role so often; that way lies danger. Of the other gentlemen Arthur Elliott showed an excel- lence that made even an uninteresting part Interesting. Mr. Miller had four or five curtain calls after the third act, but sensibly refused to make a speech. Would he had power also to abolish the curtain call! But no in- fluence terrestrial can stay the hand of the American public when raised to shat- ter the mirror of dramatic illusion. L. DU PONT SYLE. Alcazar. The capacity of the Alcazar Theater was tested to its utmost last night, not- withstanding the rain, when the old fa- vorite “The First Born"” was reproduced. The only one of the original cast s Charles Bryant, the pipe bowl mender, but the other characters were happily as- signed. Miss Lila Convere made a very charming and engaging Loey Tsing, and fairly caught the sympathy of the large | audience in ths last scene. Howard Scott as Chan Wang, the wronged husband and father of Chan Toy, was powerful and ef-" | fective, and Barton Hill as Dr. Pow Len was dignified and gracious. Charles Bry- ant is inimitable as the pipe bowl mender. The scenery is excellent and the music up to the Chinese mark. The clever little drama_should have a long and successful run. It is preceded by the farce comedy | “Gloriana,” which kept the large audience in almost incessant laughter. The situa- | tions are funny in the extreme and the most was made out of them by the com- pany. All the characters are well sus- tained, and Frank Bacon as Spinks as- tonished his friends by a really clever plece of acting in the second act, in which | he impersonates the diplomat. , California. Even the rain could not keep the people | away from the California last night, the secend night of the second week of Clyde | Fitch’s “‘Barbara Frietchie,” a tragedy of | the Civil War, with a suspicion of melo- drama, and played up to the hilt of thor- oughness by James Neill and his excellent company. It is a _peculiarly constructed play. Up! to the third act the work is done by | Edythe Chapman, the Barbara, and Mr. | Neill, the Captain Trumbull, of the cast. Then when the captain goes upstairs to die Barbara and Jack Negly (Donald Eowles) do the tragic downstairy and Keep it up to the end of the tragicchap- ter. Virtue is not rewarded, neither is vice punished; the hero dies of his wound in the home of his bitterest enemy, and his sweetheart, the sister of the man who shot him unto the death, falls stricken with the bullet from the rifle of a maniac; and there the play ends, and more’s the ity, for seldom has a character been 5o | portrayed as that of Barbara by the we | magnetic Edythe. Orpheum. The Orpheum has a programme this week which the many regular patrons of the house will treasure in their memories | as the “best ever.” Of all the great vo- calists that have warbled their way into | favor at this popular house none can excel Grace Van Studdiford. She is beautiful of face and form and has a glorious well- | trained vofce that pleases the ear and | grips the heart of those that hear her. | Al Leach and the Three Rosebuds do a musical sketch, “Examination Day at| School,” that is brimful of fun and humor. | Lew Sully made his initial bow to a San | Francisco audience with a sack full of brand new jokes and an infectious method of delivery that provoked his audience to | noisy good humor long before the point of | each story was reached. Dave Genaro and | Ray Bailey, a graceful pair of leg and toe contortionists; Burton and Brooks in a specialty, “A Quiet Evening at the Club,” a tidy bit stuffed full of jests, are all new members on this week’s programme. Bar- rows is seen once more in his great suc- cess of last vear, “Tactics.” This is prob- ably one of the best playlets on the vaudeville stage, and continued perform- ances have not dulled the spirit of the star and his supporting company. The Bison City Quartet is the only hold-over, but they have a new offering for this week, repeating, however, the songs that won them favor before. Tivoli. *“The Toymaker” drew a crowded house at the Tivoll last evening. This is the second week of this clever comic opera, yet the attendance promises to be larger than ever. Ferris Hartman is the hit of the show and sings several clever songs, among them being “When Reuben Comes to Town'' and “A Thing He Never Done Before.” Harry Cashman is good in char- acter parts and has a role that gives him a good chance to show himself, which he does not fail to do. Annie Myers is a fa- vorite of the house and as a doll gives a very dainty act. Central. There is enough of incident in‘ the “‘Shadows of a Great City,” which opened at the Central Theater last evening, to keep the interest alive. In the first place there is a sensational escape of two con- victs from the prison at Blackwells Isl- and, they carrying with them a child whose death is sought by schemers who are willing to pay for her murder. Then there is a battle on the rocks of Hell Gate, eventuating i1 the throwing over- board of the child and her rescue by one of the convicts. Next there comes along the arrest of the hero of the Hell Gate rocks, who is seized just after he has made love successfully to a young lady who is the child of the prison, now grown up to voung womanhood, and the plot of the play ripens. In the last act the hero- ine succeeds in showing that while her lover is an escaped convict he was really innocent of the crime for which he was committed. With this happy turn of af- fairs bliss and the vindication of inno- cence are not far off, and crime receives also its deserts. Grand Opera House. “The Queen of Chinatown” drew a splendid house to the Grand Opera Hcusc last night in spite of the weather. The gallery gods were out in force and the hero and heroine were recalled again and }a\fg& while the villain was roundly The play is based on the abduction of the sister of an officer in the United States Navy by the Chinese of New York and her subgequent rescye by the WILL JOURNEY TO EUROPE ON THEIR BRIDAL TOUR . A. C. Haines and Tl A. Newell Is Celebrated in Empire City. VERY pretty wedding, of interest to San Franciscans, took place yesterday in New York, when M. A, Newell was united in mar- riage to Mrs. A. C. Haines, who has been visiting relatives in that city. Mr. Newell is a well-known business man of this city, a member of the Merchants’ Exchange Association, and a prominent and popular ‘member of the Bohemian Club. The bride is a charming and clever woman. Her paintings are highly spoken of. She is also a lingulst of much ability. As she was about to start for Europe to study art and as Mr. Newell was en route to the large citles of Europe on busi- ness, the romantic decision of both to Join hands before going is interesting. r. and Mrs. Newell sail on the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse for London. L o e brother. The sto¥y works its way through gambling dens, opium joints, Chinese missions and dance halls. 1d- ward Hickman as Hop Lee, head of the highbinders, was clever, while Mathilde Choate was very good’ as Breezie, the Queen of Chinatown. Lilllan Rhoades as Columbia, a Bowery newsgirl, and George Bloomquest as Freckles, a Bowery boot- black, were the life of the play. Frederick Hartley was Dan Driscoll, the viilain, and judging from the reception he re- ceived from the gallery he played the part well. All the other characters were well taken and the piece shonld draw crowded houses fcr the remainder of ihe week, Fischer’s Concert House. The programme of this week is full of extrzcordinary interest. Miss Gladys Mid- dleton is a fine mezzo-soprano. The little conjurer, La Petite Carita, gives a fine act of black art. Carter and Gerald, the popular comedians, keep the house in a roar of laughter. _Willlam McDonald gives new songs. Miss Clara Palmer Hyde is a fine violinist. The young sing- ers and dancers, Perry and Lovell, are very clever. Elks’ Minstrel Show. One of the features of the entertainment to be given on Elks' Night at the Al- hambra Theatre, Wednesday, May 28, wiil be furnished by the Corinthian Clab, members of which will, under the direc- tion of Messrs. Sloan and Harris, appear in clever musical specialties. The fam- ous singer, Camille d'Arville, has con- sented to appear on that evening, and will render several of her best-known songs. The Associated Managers, under whose auspices the affair is to be given, arc de- termined to make this one of the greatest vaudeville bills ever seen on a local stage There will doubtless be a rush fo_secur tickets when the sale opens on Friday, May 24, at Sherman & Clay’'s music store. 5 Chutes. Josephine Gassman and her pickaninnies are the headliners and scored a big hit in their latest song, ‘“Mamma’s China Twins.”” The Gillen trio are clever jug- glers. George and-Ethel Wilson appear in a novelty dancing act, including their -wonderful electric dance. Little Ruth Ro- Jand made her reappearance and repeated her former big success. The rest of the bill includes the best numbers from last week’s programme. New movlng pictures, including the launching of the Ohio, were also shown. Olympia. Miss Ethel Barlow made quite a hit at the Olympia last night. C. Ingham, the equilibrist, is ‘a -blg feature on the new bill. The programme throughout is good. RILGOUR'S ENGAGEMENT IS ABRUPTLY CLOSED He Is No Longer the Leading Man of the Alcazar Stock Company. The engagement of Joseph Kilgour as leading man of the Alcazar Stock com- pany has closed sooner than originally in- tended. He appearcd for the last time Sunday night and wiii soon leave for the East. Kilgour claims that he had to stand the insolence of a ‘‘common stage manager,” who told him that he was not cast for this week, and when asked what his part was for the following week met with a discourteous siswer, “I have been too long in the profession,” he said, “and am too well known to be virtually sat upon 1n such a manner.” Manager Fred Belasco has another story to tell. He sald that Kilgour wanted the strong character part in “Friends”—that of the drunken morpbine flendi—which was so ably filled by Howard Scott, but he was told, not by the stage manager, but by Belasco himself, that he would have to take the leading part. He was dissat- isfied, and they murtually agreed that he snould quit. “‘We can get along very well without him,” said Belasco, “and I am not at all sorry that he has left.” . e Cheaper Than Staying at Home. $20, including berth and meals, for a 5 days' trip on the elegant steamship Cor- ona, sailing every Friday for San Pedro and Los Angele8, calling at Santa Cruz, Monterey, Port Harford, Gaviota, Santa Barbara, Ventura and other interesting points, allowing time for passengers to go ashore, arriving San Francisco Wednes- Gay morning.

MA NEWELL i * e WELL-KNOWN SAN FRANCIS- CO BUSINESS MAN AND HIS BRIDE. e - + L oy NETTIE GRAVEN LOSES A POINT Motion to Submit Pencil Deeds to a Jury Is Denied. Mrs. Nettie R. Craven’s effort to secure | a trial by jury to determine the validity | of the so-called pencil deeds under which | she claimed property of the estate of the late James G. Fair valued at $1,000,000 has | failed. A decision was handed down by the Supreme Court yesterday affirming the judgment of the lower court, which, after denying Mrs. Craven the right to trial of the issues involved in the case be- fore a jury, declared the deeds to be| forged, simulated and void. The deeds which. Mrs. Craven and her | counsel were of opinign would be declared valid by a jury were executed, it was alleged by Mrs. Craven, on September 8, 1894, and acknowledged before Notary J. J. Cooney three days later: They purported, for the consideration of love and affection, to convey to Mrs. Craven two pleces of | real estate, one at the southwest corner | of Pine and Sansome streets, valued at $400,000, the other on Twelfth and Mission streets, valued at $600,000. The opinion of the Supreme Court was reached in the action instituted by the executors of the will of the late James G. Fair against Nettle R. Craven as defend- ant and appellant. The appeal was taken by Mrs. Craven from a ruling of the court denying her motion for a trial by jury. It was contended by her counsel that the actien instituted by the executors of de- cedent’s will to quiet Mrg. Craven’'s claim to the property in question was one in law and not an action for equitable considera- tion, and in view their contention they aifmed the right to a hearing before a Jury. | pounds below the scale, six furlongs: | was filed yesterday. | that during the period covered b BUTCHERS WILL HAVE AN OUTING Eighth Annual Celebra- tion at Shell Mound To-Morrow.

The court, having found that all of the material facts | alleged by the plaintiffs were supported by the proof, issued an injunction forever restraining Mrs. Craven “from asserting or pretending that the alleged deeds were valid or genuine, er from claiming or as- | serting any right, title or interest in the property involved under the deeds.” It was also decreed that Mrs. Craven had no right, title or interest to the premises and that the prayer of the complainants that she should be compelled to deliver up the deeds for cancellation should be granted. In the opinion of the Supreme Court, which was written by Justicé McFarland and concurred in by Justices Van Dyke and Garoutte, Justice Henshaw writing a concurring opinion, Justice Temple dis- senting, it is held that the lower court did not err in denying Mrs. Craven's motion for a trial by jury of the issues involved in the action. “For,” says the court, “when the law raises a presumption, without direct proof of the validity of a conveyance—and its validity can only be made to appear by | extrinsic evidence—a case {s presented for | the exercige of the jurisdiction of a court | of cquity to compel the surrender and | cancellation of the instrument as a cloud | upon the title.” Mrs. Craven, as this opinion of the Su- preme Court only finally adjudicates the motion for a trial by jury. will now return to the Superior Court and renew her mo- tion for a new trial of the action which was decided against her. If this motion is denied she will again appeal, and the validity of the deeds which the lower court has adjudged fofged and vold wiil be passed upon by the court of last resort within the State. .
