Mme. Emma Eames, by the grace of Grau and her own divine voice one of the rulers in the world of grand opera, went forth last evening in search of ex- periences. She encountered several, but one in particular‘she will never forget. During the week the diva had expressed a desire to visit Chinatown. A visitor's wish being law in California, Harry Hol- brook made arrangements for a tour of the Oriental quarter, and last evening | Mme. Eames, with her companion, Miss Fetridge, accompanied Mr. Holbrook and a party of friends to Chinatown, Under the pilotage of guides the diva was shown the sights. The party was about to start bomeward, when some- | body suggested a visit to one of the joss- | houses. | They all filed In and breathed punk- jaden air while the diva examined the idols and commented upon the T;am of the Celestial incense. By and by Mme, Eames found something more Interesting than either graven images or Oriental odors. It was a little Chinese urchin. | The Diva and the Heathen Boy. The diva and the juvenile heathen had quite a little chat and were bowing their good byes when young China's commer- cial instincts overcame his admiration for the beautiful singer, and he said: | “You catch um flortune?” When it was explained that there was a fortune teller within the sacred pre- cincts nothing would do but that Mme. Eames should take a dip into the future and learn by Chinese routes what the gods_held in store. for her. 3 A weazened, shriveled-up old man was brought forth. He was blind and appar- ently unconscious of the presence of the visitors. He took his seat on an ebony stool and with much ceremony drew from under his strangely embroidered eloak a guriousiy carved jar, in which stood a lit- tle bundle of chop sticks. sme. Eames faced the fortune teller and listened to his strange incantations intently. Presently one of the sticks arose from the jar apparently without mechanical assistance. “It's 8,” said the small after boy, ANDRE S “PERELLO > SeeuRrcLA.. | RB RENDITION OF PUQRINI'S CREAGION FOUR OF THE GRAU STARS WHO SANG IN PUCCINI'S MASTERLY COMPOSITION, “LA BOHEME,” LAST EVENING BEFORE AN EN- THUSIASTIC AUDIENCE AT THE GRAND OPERA-HOUSE.

A solemn-faced priest then took a battered chart from a sandalwood cabinet and af- | ter studying it for some time translated the prophecy as follows: % “You are going to be a noted singer. | You have already attained some fame, but it is as nothing to what will be. Y6u have now admirers in plenty. But in.a short time you will have the whole world at your feet. You haye just recovered from a serious {llness. You are done with sick- ness. Your life is for fame more glorious than any dream.” Every member of the party is wllling to swear that there was no collusion between them and the Chinese. The visit to the josshouse had been unpremeditated, and not even the guides knew the identity of the famous singer. Of the diva's illness some months ago in Paris no one but Miss Fetridge had any knowledge. Madame Eames was very quiet and very serious for the rest of the evening. “Chinatown is interesting,” she sald, “but your josshouses—too spooky.” s et POWDERLY SAYS LAWS -SHOULD BE AMENDED Would Distribute Alien Population With Some Reference to Supply and Demand. WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—Commissioner General Powderly of the Immigration Bureau, in his annual report, reiterates the views expressed in his last annual report as to the necessity of amending the laws in relation to the punishment of persons who induce allens to come to the United States to engage in labor or service of any kind. In discussing the general subject of immigration, the Com- missioner General says in part: To deal with the problem successtully it seems_indispensable to remove as far as pos- sible those conditions which conflict with the incorporation of the alien element into the soclal system of the country, so that by ac- tual experience the former may learn as soon as possible that the basis and foundation of American policy I8 4 respect and affection for and a willing obedlence to the laws and cus- toms of the land, because the maintenance of those laws is the best safeguard of individual liberty. It is, therefore, recommended that Congress enact suitable legislation either with, or, 1f mecessary, without the co-operation of the States, for the purpose of distributing the allen population with some reference to the industrial law of supply and demand.

Pradiacise, a sign painter, while suf- fering from an overindulgence in liquor fired three shots at his mother-in-law, Mrs. Natalié Nastori, last night, but failed to injure her. The shooting occurred at 1324 Dupont street. Some time ago Pradiacise eloped with Mrs. Nastori’s daughter, who was under age. Learning that Mrs. Nastorl had sworn to a complaint charging him with abduction, Pradiacise induced the girl to marry him. Since then, it is claimed, the sign painter has been anxious for a chance to get even with his mother-in- }‘:\:‘ for swearing to a warrant for his ar- Shortly after 8 o'clock last night Mrs. Nastori and her 10-year-old ughter Amelia went to visit a friend named Carlo Damiana, who lives in the house where the shooting occurred. While they were conversing with Damiana, the enraged sign painter burst into the room and, drawing a revolver, fired three shots at his mother-in-law. ' One of the bullets pricked the skin over Mrs. Nastori’s right eye, while the other two passed harm- lessly over her head and lodged in the wall. Immediately after firing the shots Pradiacise ran from the placé and went to his own home at. 530 Vallejo street. Sergeant Christiansen followed him and being unable to gain admittance broke Gown the door. Pradiacise was found hid- ing under a bed, and when ordered to surrender threatened to shoot the officer. After considerable trouble he was final- ly handcuffed and taken to the City Pris. on, where he was booked on a charge of an assault to commit murder. Mrs. Nastori is at a loss_to understand why her son-in-law should attempt to murder her. “I have always treated him kindly,” she remarked. ‘’As soon as I learned that he had married my daughter I caused the warrant. which had been_issued for his arrest to be withdrawn. Recently I have noticed that he acted coolly toward me, but I never dreamed that he would try to murder me. I am half inclined to be- lieve that liquor drove him to shoot at me. Notwithstanding that he is my son- in-law, 1 intend to see that he is prose- cuted for his attempt on my life.” Pradiacise refused to make a statement, except to say that he did not know why | he had attempted to murder his mother- in-law. SOCIETY STAYS AWAY FROM OPERdA Music-Lovers Give the Singers a Rousing Reception. HE performance ‘of Puccini's charming opera, “La Boheme,” given by the Grau company last night, at popular prices, was a source of keen delight to those who were present at the Grand Dpera House. Society was not there, but the audience was composed of lovers of music, who | thoroughly enjoyed the musical fare of- | fered to them. -There were no waiting | carriages in front of the theater; gaily | dress®d women and somber-clad men were eonspicuous by their absence. Even the carpets were dispensed with on the side- walk. ‘What the audience lacked in numbers it made up in enthusiasm. Dozens of men and women could be seen in orchestra, | dress circle and the galleries, following | the music, score in hand. They, with the | balance of the audience, came to hear the music and they were well rewarded. The | merits of the production and the reduced grlces should have drawn a crowded ouse, but, as Manager. Grau himself has said, grand opera in all countries is a “‘so- | ciety function,”- o far as attendance is | | concerned. The boxes presented yawning chasms of solitude, while the red plush of vacant seats stood out in bold relief all over the theater. It may be that society in this, as in other large cities, is going through a pro- cess of incarnation in musical matters and that the next generation will witness & season of grand opera when there will be no “off nights.” l Singers Enthusiastically Cheered. Manager Grau put forth some of his | Lest singers last night to sing in “La Bo- | heme,” and judging by the manner in | Which they responded to the plaudits of | the audience they perhaps enjoyed far nore the recognition of the average thea- | ter-goers than they would that of an audi- ence composed of the “Four Hundred.” | Suzanne Adams, De Marchi, De Segu- | rola, Gilibert, Dufriche, Vann and Cam- | panari sang and acted the principal roles | of “La Boheme,” and Italia Vittoria Re- etto, late of the Tivoli, took the place of | ritzi Scheff, who was indisposed. The | orchestra, under Seppilli’s baton, came in for a big share of recognition, and the en- tire performance was voted a complete | Buccess. To-night Gounod’s “Romeo and Juliet” will be given, with Sybil Sanderson, Edouard de Reszke, Salignac, Bars, Bride- well, Journet, Bauermeister and Declery in the princlpal roles. There is consider- able speculation as to what Miss Sander- | son will achieve in the role of “Juliet.” To-morrow evening should be a gala | night, for Madames Eames and Sembrich | appear in “La Nozze di Figaro,” with a | El'en“[ cast, including Campanari as “Fig- ro. Calve Appears on Wednesday. Wednesday night should witness a gath- | ering of society’s votaries, for ‘the” | Calve is to appear as Carmen and show | San Frankisco the rendition of the role | that has thrilled all Europe and the east- ern cities of America, e | “Die Meistersinger” is to be given on | Thursday night, with Gadskl, Schumann- Heink, Dippel,” Bispham, Blass, Muhl- mann, Viviarfi and De Reszke in {he cast. ‘““Carmen” is to be repeated on Friday night; “Lohengrin” is the bill for the Sat- urday matinee; Sembrich is to sing in *“Il Barbiere di Siviglia” on Saturday night, and “Les Huguenots” is to be sung on next Sunday night at popular prices. CHICACD UNIONG ENTER POLITICS Intend to Form Munici- pal and State Or- ga.niza,tions. -~ CHICAGO, Nov. 17.—Inspired by the success of the Union Labor candidates in San Francisco and Bridgeport, Conn., the labor men of Chicago are to be organized into a wage earners’ party and will have tneir own candidate for municipal and State officers. This movement was start- ed to-day by the Chicago Federation of Labor. A meeting of all the labor men of Chicago has been called for the first Sunday in December, when a regular party organization will be perfected. According to present plans, the platform will embody nothing but demands for the enforcement of the claims of union labor, The candidates will be wage earners and all appeals will be to men of that class. —————— REGULATIONS OF NAVY OFFICIALLY INTERPRETED Discharges by Sex?ance of Court-Mar- tial Shall Be Made in United States. ‘WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.—In answer to an inquiry from Commander Seaton Schroeder, Governor of Guam, Secretary Long has informed that officer that the article of the naval regulations which Frovldes that the sentence of discharge rom the service with bad conduct dis- charge awarded by summary court-mar- tial to petty officers and persons of in- ferior rank shall not be carried into ef- fect In a “‘foreign country” is construed as applying to the Island of Guam, the purpose of the provision being that dis- charges by sentence of court-martial shall be made within the continental limits of the United States. Suis PN Two Weddings in Old Sonoma. SONOMA, Nov. 17.—Two weddings were solemnized here to-day. Miss Matilda Cornelius, daughter of City Treasurer George Cornelius, was married to C. An- derson, a wealthy Klondiker. A large number of guests was present at the wed- ding and many handsome gifts were re- celved. At St. Francis Church Miss K. Stevens and Tony Kiser, a prominent {oung’ dairyman, were united in marriage v the Rev. Father Leahy. It Costs Nothing to Try an Absolute Cure for oS canenn| g, TREAT THE CAUSE. (THE GERMS).

A DARK OUTLOOK FOR THE YOUNG MAN WITH WEAK LUNGS. ., Time and again we see young men arriving at their legal majori f;’lh.ving Barily passed . suddenly sto; in a career full of promise. ase has laid its hand on the lungs! He who never took a thought for him- self must be careful now. He must be careful about food and drink, careful about his clothing and his exercise. No more late hours or night air. No more athletics. His lungs are “weak.” He has an ominous cough. He has fallen awlly in flesh. . When that cloud of consumption falls on a young man’s life it darkens every- thing. The words of love die unspoken He cannot speak now to the girl he hoped would share his future. Middle aged men that have been under that cloud remember it still with a shiver. But the important fact is that there are men who were ouce in danger who have grown strong again, married and brought wp healthy families. HOW IT HAPPENED. There is no chance about such cures. If only a few'persons had been benefited, it might be said that they had exagger- ated their danger or had only been sui- fering from some common ailment. But when the cured are numbered by thou- sands; when the doctor’s diagnesis was consumption ; when every symptom bore out that diagnosis — weakness, emacia- tion, bleeding of the lun, and these sufferers were perfectly and permanently cured by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, it must be concluded that these cures are not of chance, but due to the healing power of a great remedy, for coughs, weak lungs, bron- chitis, and like diseases, which if neg- lected or unskillfully treated, find a fatal termination in consumption. *I beg to state that I have used three | bottles of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery since my correspondence with you,” writes Mr. A. F. Novotny, of New Vork, N. Y. (Box 1437). *I feel that I am in need of no more medical assist- ance. When I started to take yonr medi- cine T had a regular consumptive cough, of which I was afraid, and everybody cautioned and warned me concerning it. I was losing weight rapidly, was very pale and had no appetite whatever. Now my condition is changed entirely. I do not cough at all, have gained eight unds in weight, have recovered my ggalthy color, and my appetite is enor- mous. In conclusion I beg to state that I can and will recommend your medi- PIERCE’'S REMEDIES.

Accept no substitute for the "Discove ery.” Speaking by the record of the medicine, there is nothing else “just as good” for those who cough or have weak lungs. Persons who are suffering from disease in chronic form are imvited to comsult Dr. Pierce, by letter, free. All corre- spondence is held as strictly private. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. V. Dr. Pierce is chief cousuiting phy- sician to the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. He is assisted by a staff of nearly a score of i ‘enced physicians, and the success of his metho& may be gathered from the fact that in a practise of over thirty years, and the treatment of hundreds of thousands of sick men and women, 98 per cent. have been perfectly and permanently cured.
