Society was present in full force at the production of the Master of Beyreuth's “Tann- hauser,” in which the diva Madame Emma Eames made her second appear- ance for the season, together with Van Dyck, David Bispham, Miss Fritzi-Scheff, Muhlmann and Madame Louise Reuss- Belce. There was all the glamor and excitement of a first night at the gathering of the audience that heard Wagner's superb composition. Again there was a line of carriages bearing gaily dressed women and their escorts; the police were kept busy in keeping a clear passageway for the fortunate ones who entered the opera- house; the top galleries were packed to suffocation by the lovers of music, and the shimmer of silk and satin together with the flash of gorgeous gems were seen in all parts of the auditorium. ‘When Director Damrosch brought the big orchestra to attention and the open- ing strains of the “‘Pilgrim’s March” were heard, there were but few vacant seats in boxes, orchestra or dress circle. The lights were lowered and the curtain ascended, disclosing the grotto of Venus, with Tannhauser reclining at the feet of the Goddess of Love. Madame Eames Again Triumphs. For four hours the vast audience lis- tened to the marvelous composition that ‘Wagnerites claim is the very essence' of music, but which the disciples of the Ital- fan school designate as a mere fad. The audience was not .an enthusiastic nearer the song than gny other composer has yet come. It is the human method, men are men in it and not vocal machines, and.of the wonders of his orchestra, every instrument an individual entity, picturin, with strange magic the undercurrents an high dreams of the soul, who shall ade- quately praise it? UNHAPPILY MARRIED FOLK IN DIVORCE COURT Sundry Couples Secure Decrees and Others Invoke the Law to Sever Irksome Bonds. Lotta A. Covell, who was married to George F. Covell in Kings County in Au- gust, 1803, was granted a divorce yester- day by Judge Hunt on the ground of cruelty. Mrs, Covell testified that her | husband’s cruel treatment consisted of perpetual “nagging” and accusing her of infidelity. She also sald that on several occasjons he struck her. The Covells are prominent people of Fresno County and ‘| possess considerable Tgroparty in various parts of the State. e question of prop- erty rlghtg was not brought into court, a satisfactory arrangement and division having been made b{l the couple since the commencement of the action. .’H‘H*HWPHWWW ® GORGEOUS GOWNS AND JEWELS ARE DISPLAYED BY FAIR SEX one by any means. There was none of the wild applause that had greeted Madame Sembrich on the previous night in “La Traviata.” Madame Eames,who sang Elis- | abeth, was given a hearty reception and she won curtain calls by her exquisite vo- calization. The diva was in better voice than on her first appearance on Monday last, and her pure notes rang out clear and true, filling every portion of the the- ater. It was recognized by all present that Van Dyck was suffering from a cold, but he improved after the first act and sang and acted with fire and vigor. Bispham sang Wolfram and again demonstrated that he is one of the best barytones on the operatic stage.. Madame Reuss-Belce, who made her debut as Venus, quickly placed herself en rapport with her audi- ence. Miss Fritzi-Scheff obliged the manggement by singing the role of the Shepherd, owing to the indisposition of Miss Bridewell. Many Supper Parties Given. ‘When the story of the struggle between pure and unchaste love was ended the big audience wended its way to the streets. Carrfages dashed up in almost endless number and the carefully cloaked ladies were escorted to fashionable supper rooms. In the courtyard of the Palace Hotel the tables were filled by dozens of merry parties and while the corks of champagne bottles popped the details of the opera were discussed. If the Grau Opera Company is patronized at each per- formance as it was last night the man- agement will bave a warm spot in its heart for San Francisco. ‘Die Walkure”” will be sung to-night and to-morrow afternoon “Faust” is sure to attract a throng. To-morrow evening Willlam H. Barden for failure to provide, Judge Seawell yesterday, by request of the attorneys of Louise A. Corwell, who is suing Charles Corwell for divorce on the ground of cruelty, ordered the court- room cleared and will try the case behind closed doors. Mrs. Corwell's complaint recites a tale of cruelty, it is alleged, that renders the case a revolting one. —_———— LEROY, Ia..

IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC DIS- COVERY. g A Clinical Preparation That Positive- ly Kills the Dandruff Germ. A most important discovery has been made after a year's patient laboratory work almed in a certain direction. It is Newbro's Herpicide, a preparation that cures baldness, prevents falling hair, and Divorces were granted xesterda to Winifred Bentley from Marshall G. Bent- ley for desertion, Robert Munch from Catherina Munch for desertion, Ida Mul- enry epar m ce lepal for desertion and Maud Reilly from John H. Rellly for willful neglect. Sults for divorce were fil yesterday by Charles F. Short against Ida B. Short for desertion and Mary J. Barden against speedlly and permanently eradicates dan- cruff. These evils are caused by a germ or parasite that burrows into the scalp, throwing up dandruff, as it seeks to sap | the life of the hair at the root. There's no baldness without falling or thin hair, no. thin halr wtihout dandruff, and no dandruft if the germ is destroyed. ' New- bro’s Herpicide is the only preparation that will do the work. _‘Destroy the cause, you remove the effect.”” i — society will give a welcome to Sybil San- derson, who appears in “Manon,” essay- ing the role in which she triumphed in |* Paris and St. Petersburg. “La Boheme' is‘to be given Sunday night at popular prices.
