GLORIOUS cast, a splendid per- formance and the largest house of the season is the tale of last night's grand opera, with “Le Nozze di Figdro” for the bill. This is opera in its lusty youth, writ when the day was young and the lark sang high in the air. There is the dew and freshness of the morning about it, brave sunshine ang bubbling laughter. No smell of the lamp is here, but the fragrance of the young spring. The opera breathes immortal youth, strength, gayety, freedom. It blends grave and gay with magic art, and lifts the lis- to a hilarious joy in mere living as interpreted last night.

Stra- ley to-fday in connection with the failure of SEymour, Johnson & Co., into which it is alleged went some of the money earned by the per cent” Franklin syndicate, and it developed some bitterly sarcastic encounters between principals and wit- nesses. Robert Ammon, counsel for the Frank- lin syndicate, was the first witness heard, but he declined to answer many ques- tions on the ground that he was under arrest for his connection with the syndi- cate. He swore that he had placed $140,- 000 of the syndicate's money with Sey- mour, Johnson & Co., but that he had withdrawn $10,000 and that Alfred R. Gos- lin had drawn $30,000 of the sum. He also testified that Goslin had drawn $73,000 from the defunct firm of Seymour, John- son & Co. Goslin_followed Ammon on the stand and said that Ammon’s testimony about the money he had withdrawn from Sey- mour, Johnson & Co. was false. Goslin then said that a number of financial trans- actions of the defunct firm had been dis- honest and Ammon interrupted to accuse him of ‘“‘squealin; AMUSEMENTS.

L P e i A S S i i ] ISSUES ILLEGAL LICENSES T0 WED Mistake of a Portland Judge Causes Con- sternation. e PORTLAND, Nov. 19.—8ix Portland honeymoon parties have been called back to be remarried. This strange predicament has caused a local sensation, as many of the persons concerned are among the most prominent in local society. Since the death of County Clerk Holmes last Thursday the marriage mill has been grinding as fast as usual and the would- be benedicts desiring licenses have been accommodated by County Judge Cake. To-day his attention was called to an opinion expressed by a leading attorney that the licenses issued by him were ille- gal. He looked up authorities and, to his consternation. found that he had’ issued illegal licenses to a half dozen coupies, whose marriages were solemnized with due ceremony, atfter which the honeymoon parties went speeding to various parts of the country. . ‘When Judge Cake announced to-day in the court room that the licenses issued since the death of County Clerk Holmes ‘were illegal, as he had no authority under the Oregon code to issue them, there wus consternation in the familles whose daughters, traveling on hormeymoon trips, were not in lawtul wedlock. Telegrams were sent in all directions, and many of the newly wedded husbands and wives were advised to get married “for keeps' as soon as they could. In the meantime the cupids of the County Clerk's office were advised to shut down the marriage factory. This was immedi- ately dome. Eeverai couples whose wed- dings had been arranged were in a great predicament and appealed to the Circuit Judges to marry them, but to no avall. Several marriages were consummated in Vancouver, Wash., which is the Gretna Green for this neighborhood. The persons affected by Judge Cake's announcement are: Edwin E. Cox and Nelli¢ Victor Tozier, J. H. Wigle and Mrs. Mary Nelmo, A. F. Butelspacher and Sophia C. Nattestad, John M. Rutter and Belle Taylor, St. Clair F. Stenner and Anna_ Gundlach, Charles E. Proud- foot and Edith Bourgdahl. This_morning a license was issued for Guy E. Reynolds and Annie J. Wright, but before Reynolds left the office the or- der not to make out any more licenses was received. The license was revoked and his money was returned.to him, The young man was greatly agitated and rushed into Judge Cake's chambers to ascertain the cause of the difficulty. Some one had told him that a nunc pro tune order would fix it, and he asked the Judge to help him out in that way, but the Judge informed him that “nunc pro tunc” did not go in marriage license cases. If he procured a license and got ied it could not be “nunc pro tunct- ed. Reynolds went upstairs and sought the advice of Judge George, with the same re- sult. Judge George opined that only the County Clerk could issue marriage li- censes, and he was dead. The young man next tackled Commissioner Mack, and in- quired what could be done about it, and Mack told him the only thing he could do was to go to Vancouver, Washington, and get a license, o il ..um‘m.u%;?! { I TXxss Ferzy \JCHEFN MADAME CALVE IS TO APPEAR THIS EVENING “CARMEN.” By Bizet. ...Mme.

PARIS, Nov. 19.—The Journal des De- bats says to-day it regards the Hay- Pauncefote treaty as a signal victory for ‘Washington, and adds: “The submission of England is as com- lete as the American Senate could wish. t is interesting to again note that Eng- land cannot live at peace with the United States except at the cost of perpetual concessions and sacrifices.” The Temps sees in the treaty a striking demonstration of mutual good will of two powers who have long been animated by unfriendly sentiments toward one an- other, and, above all, of the value Great Britain sets on securing even by sacri- fieing certain interests the good graces of American public opinion. The treaty itself, the Temps also says, TREMENDOUS CROWD FILLS THE OPERA HOUSE Y THE ART OF EAMES AND SEMBRICH Aisles Blocked Con- trary to the Law. WomenSereamand Faint in the Crush. HE Fire Commissioners and Chief of the Fire Department Sullivan are not likely to allow a repetition of the flagrant violation of the or- dinances governing theaters that was witnessed last night at the Grand Opera House, when an enormous audience gathered to hear the great cast of Grau singers in “Le Nozze di Figaro.” Although every seat in the theater was sold out, the management allowed the sale of general admission tickets, well know- ing that the purchasers could not be ac- commodated in the building without en- dangering the lives and limbs of the throng. The scene in front of the Grand Opera House and in the lobby of the building for an hour previous to the opening of the doors was a tribute to the Grau singers, but it was not in keeping with the doiugs of society. Two police officers were powerless to keep order in the lobby and in front of the building, while at the entrance to the gal- lery a wild scene was enacted. Hundreds of men and women struggled to make their way to the ticket sellers, and when they secured the coveted pieces of paste, board the management would not all them to enter the theater, the reason be- ing given that the reserved seat holders must be first allowed to take their seats. ‘Women screamed and dresses were torn to ribbons in the lobby of the opera house until finally the word was given to allow the holders of general admission tickets to enter the theater. In a few minutes every inch of the aisles ‘was blocked and when the holders of tick- ets for boxes, the orchesira and dress cir- cle sought to take their seats it required the courage of a football player to try and get through the mass of humanity. Ladies garbed in gorgeous array were forced to struggle after their escorts who sought to make a passage way through the densely packed aisles. Valuable dresses were torn and, in some cases, jewels were wrenched away. When the overture be- gan the seats were not half filled, owing to the inability of ticket holders to gain their places. Dogens of timid women shrank from running the gauntlet of the crowd in the aisles and waited until the first.act was over, when those who had been sitting ia the aisles sought the lobby for fresh air. There was little promenading by the hold- ers of reserved and box seats last night, as the crowded aisles rendered ingress and egress impossible. The performance was an enjoyable one but was marred by the inconvenience and danger to which everv member of the big audience was subjected in order that the box office receipts mignt be swelled by a few hundred dollars. The ordinances of the Fire Department posi- tively prohibit the blocking of aisles cr doorways in theaters. SYBIL SANDERSON WILL ATTEND MINSTREL SHOW Tistinguished Prima Donna to Oc- cupy Box at the California To-Morrow Evening. @ Sybil Sanderson, the distinguished Cali- fornia prima donna now appearing grand opera at the Grand Opera-house, will attend to-morrow night’s perform- ance of Haverly’s Minstrels at the Cali- fornia Theater, a box having beem ten- | dered for her use by Managers Elling- house and Oppenheimer. Mme. Sanderson accepted the courtesy with apparent delight. She states that she was always very fond of minstrels, and that it was her sincere desire to wit- ness a performance of that kind. When her statement to that effect appeared in The Call, the managers of the California decided to give her the opportunity of en- joying the show with the result stated. CALVE APPEARS THIS EVENING. Famous Diva to Be Heard in Favo- rite Role of Carmen. To-night Mme. Calve will make her first appearance in this city and will be heard in her famous role of “‘Carmen” in Bizet's grand opera of that name. The indisposition of the diva last week was a matter of deep regret to her and it was only the positive injunction of her physicians. that prevented her appearance on the second night of the season. Mme. Calve has in the past few days enjoyed the air of the park and the ocean beach and last evening shepdeclared that she was in as good voice as at any time her career. inThe management of the Grand Opera- house announces that every seat has been sold for this evening and society will un- doubtedly make a brave display. Calve will be the last star to be presented by Manager Grau, and in fashion’s circles, as well as among music lovers, there is the keenest interest to hear the prima donna who Is so closely associated with the role of the wayward cigarette girl © el O is an excellent solution of the difficulty, and from an economic point of view ought to awaken general congratulations. LONDON, Nov. 19.—The Globe this aft- ernoon discusses the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in its usual ultra-jingo tome. It says: Y nless Lord Pauncefote and Secretary Hay have strictly observed the principle of quid pro quo_ the treaty is far more likely to impair than to strengthen friend- liness. If British rights on the isthmus have been abandoned without a tangible equivalent it will not be long before Great Britain is invited to surrender the West Indies and even Canada as peace offerings to American Chauvinism.” — Tapped the Till. Mrs. Fredell, who keeps a store at 1272 Folsom street, reported to the police last night that the till in her store had been tapped by two men. How much they se- cured she could not tell. She claims that one of the men enticed her into a corner while the other extracted the money. She is of the opinion that she could recognize the robbers. Mavg B.
