He was immediately en rap- singing and acting it e had here, appreciation by the audi- y who has frequently sub- stituted for Calve in the t, was the Carmen. Mme.

She | | has a good, full contralto voice, not start- ling in quality, nor very brilliantiy used, but pleasing and fitted to the part. Mme. Seygard was naturally nervous, and in addition to the rather trying conditions had only once rehearsed the role with De Marchi—who himself sang his part in | French for the first time last night. The | singer seems to lack rather on the tem- peramental side, but looked a pretty to please the house.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash., Nov. 22.— According to advices from the Orient brought by the steamship Kinshiu Maru, which arrived to-day, considerable ex- citement prevails in China over the atti- tude of the United States relative to the exclusion law and alarm is feil among a large number of Celestials now in China who are entitled to return to the United States. As the present exclusion law ex- pires in May, 1902, the basis of the fears of the Chinese is that a new law will be enacted of such a stringent nature that many of the privileged class will be barred from returning and hundreds are preparing to rush to the United States before the law expires.

UNION LEAGUE CLUB GIVES A LADIES’ NIGHT ——— The members of the Union League Club gave a ladies’ night at théir clubrooms last evening. The preparations were elaborate and a most enjoyable evening was spent by those who had the good for- ture to attend. In the reception-room the tables were all cleared away, a canvas was laid on the floor, and in this spaclous room the dancing was indulged in. The room was beautifully decorated with flowers, Amer- ican Beauty roses being most conspicu- ous, The tables were removed from the billiard-room and this was used as the banquet hall. The programme follows: Tenor solo, R. H. Hunt; vielin obligato, Charles E. Robison; basso_solo, Jullan Eisen: bach; soprano solo, Miss M. Fay; specialties, W. W. Brackett; Union League Club Quartet: solo, J. M. Yates; violin solo, H.C, Gingg; basso solo, J. C. Hughes: entertainer, A. N. Mec- Donald; solo, J. J. Fieher; Union League Club Quartet.

Sybil Sanderson Nct Able to Appear Sunday Night. HE inability of Madame ‘Calve to! sing in “‘Carmen” last evening at | the Grand Opera-house made a big @ifference in the size of the audi- ence. | The house had been sold out well in ad- | vance, but when ticket-holders. learned yesterday morning that Calve could not | sing there was a big rush to the box of- | fice of the theater to exchange seats for other nights when Calve is announced to | @ppear. | That Manager Grau and his associates | have the sincere sympathy of the public in the matter was displayed yesterday by very few persons asking for the return | of money for tickets for last night’s per- | hLeaith of some of his stars. As if the impresario did not have trouble enough, he learned last night that Sybil Sanderson was suffering from a severe cold and would not be able to sing in “‘Les Hugue- nots” to-morrow night. Mme. Camille Seygard undertook a dif- ficult task last night appearing as Carmen in place of Madame Calve. The theater presented many vacant boxes and seats in orchestra, dress circle and gal- leries, but those present were generous | to a degree in the matter of conferring applause, There was an absence of display of rich dresses by the ladies and there was ab- solutely no romenading between the acts. Even the curious who gather to watch the buds, belles, matrons and men alight from their carriages did not gather in front of the opera-house, and Captain of Police Spillane and his men had an easy time. There was no disposition on the part of the audience to compare Mme. Seygard to Calve, as it would have been manifest. ly unfair to the brave singer who unde; took the role last night under most tr ing circumstances. Mme. Seygard is a beatiful woman and ghe charmed all by her dashing presence and dramatic force. De Marchi, the tenor, who for the first time sang Don | Jose in French, and Scotti, the Toreador, and the balance of the cast were ail re- ciplents of applause and recalls to the footlights, This afternoon “Lohengrin” will be given, with Eames, Schumann-Heink, Van Dyck, Bispham, Muhlmann and Blass in the cast. The bill for to-night is “Il Barbiere di Siviglia,” with Sem- brich, Campanari, Salignac, Bauermelis- ter and De Reszke in the principal roles. In the lesson scene Sembrich will sing “Voce di Primavera,” composed for her by Johann Strauss, To-morrow evening ‘“Les Huguenots” will be given-at popular prices, presenting Gadski, Louise omer, Bauermeister, Dippel, Scotti, Muhlmann, Bars, Dufriche and Suzanne Adams in the cast. The superb aggregation of talent for the Sun- day night offering is causing a big de- mand for seats. the Palace grfll vesterday afternoon to Miss Agnes Simpson. The affair was in honor of the approaching wedding of Miss Simpson to_the Right Rev. Sidney Catlin Partridge, D.D., Bishop of Kioto, Japan. Those présent were: Misses Agnes and Maud Simpson, Mrs. Charles Perkins, Mrs. Lynda Bryan, Miss Georgie Spieker, Miss Rowena Burns, Miss Stella Fortman, 'Miss Maud Cluff, Miss Mabel Cluff and Mrs. Willlam Cluff. The wedding of Miss Simpson and Bishop Partridge will take place next Wednesday, November 27. Soon after the ceremony the couple will depart Yor Japan, where they will reside. Mrs. J. Parmenter Martin tendered a reception yesterday afternoon to her numerous friends at her home, 3346 Wash- ington street. Three hundred and fifty invitations were issued.

Down in the graystone building with | the big clock there is much guessing over | elevations. The appointment of Wittman leaves two vacanci in the captaincies. The six lieutenants—Birdsall, Martin, Au- | derson, Price, Mooney and Ksala—are singing songs that might as well be made | into a sextet, for the words are the same. All appointments can be but temporary, however, for the civil service rules apply. | Chief Wittman was given an ovauon | last evening by the members of the | | | Northern police station. Shortly after 5 o'clock about 300 mem-! bers of the department assembled at the Central station to expr their gratifica- tion at the selcction of Captain Wittman as the successor to the late Chief Sulli- v an. As the officers fell in line Chief “'ill-‘ man, accompanied by Commissioners | Newhall and Howell, entered and were | vociferously cheered.

When the wel: known priest was escorted to the platform he was greeted with applause. Chairman Geary introduced Father Yorke, | Who spoke as follows: We are now face to face with an immigra- tion which is emphatically not Christian. I have nothing to sey about the ideals or about the morality of the Chinese. They may be very 500d in their own place and that is in China. But as somebody has defined dirt as matter out of place, so we may say that the virtues of the Chinese, be they never so | great and never so fitting for their own coun- try, are out of place in this. Their thoughts are not our thoughts; their blood is not our blood; their outlook is mot our outlook. They have 'a different way of looking at things. And they have this, gentlemen, which is the most Important of all: They have such a power of numbers that what perhaps they might not be able to accomplish by the su- periority of their morality or by their more acute ingenuity, they can do by brute force. The greatest man that ever lived is powerless against the force of the elements. It was & great and powerful king who stood before the advancing waves of the sea and said to them, ““Thus far and no farther,” and the sea poured over him and his royalty. It is the same with us. We may be In the lead of all the nations. we may have the most acute intellects, we may have the highest education, but what are we against this great sea which is beating now upe our shores, which is rising as & tidal wave and which if we do not build up our battlements high and strong may over- whelm us and everything we hold dear. (Ap- plause.) Therefore, gentlemen, because the Chinese_civilization is not our civilization, be- cause their ideals and their outlook are dif- ferent from ours, because they would build up here something that would be entirely con- tradictory to our Institutions, that is the first reason why every American, no matter whether ke lives upon the Pacific Coast, or on the Atlantic, by the shores of the Great Lakes, or by the shores of the gulf, is bound to stand with California and with the Pacific States in their demand that the walls be built up against { the Chinese immigration. ‘When the applause subsided cheers were given for Chairman Geary and Father Yorke and the convention then adjourned sine die. iy T MAYOR-ELECT SCHMITZ WAS UNABLE TO ATTEND Sends a Letter Expressing His Ideas + on the Exclusion of the Chinese. Labor had its inning at the afternoon session of the convention. Mayor-elect Schmitz, leader on the labor unions' ticket, was unable to attend, and sent the following letter: WATSONVILLE, Cal.. Nov. 20, 1901. To the Chairman of the Chinese Exclusion Convention, Metropolitan Temple, cisco—Dear $ir: I regret that I shall be unable to attend the meeting of the Chinese Exclusion Convention, but beg to express through you to the convention my earnest and sincere sym- San Fran- { pathy with the objects of your meeting. The Chinese as a race must be excluded from our shore; from injurious competition with our labor; from obstructive Interference with our industries and from damaging contact with our civilization. This is not a problem of race prejudice, but one of onservation of our American homes and our American life. Indeed, the question of Chi- nese exclusion is no longer a problem at all. It is a demonstrated proposition. No one on this coast who possesses any soclal or political in- telligence and foresight can see two sides to the question. There is but one. The Chinese must be excluded. The Chinese exclusion act must be re-enacted and its provisions fortified, and it should be made also to embrace Japa- nese, whose unchecked immigration is becoming even as disastrous as that of their Chinese neighbors. 1 believe in the protection of American labor against the cheap labor of forelgn lands and in the protection of the American laborer and his home and family against the invasion of Mon- =zolian hordes. For any assistance or support in furtherance of these views and the objects of your conven- tion 1 shall ever be at your command. E. E. SCHMITZ, Mayor-elect. Cheers were given for Mayor Schmitz, and when_the applause subsided Con- gressman Woods secu:~d the attention of the convention and said: I forgot this morning In that razzle-dazale talk of mine (laughter) to make of you one re- quest for the delegation; and that is that we don’'t want you to bite off here more than we can chew in Washington. I mean by that this; If we can re-enact, in the presence of the pos- sible opposition which we will have there, the Geary act with the proposed amendments thereto, we will have achieved a great victory (applause) ‘and let the Japanese question abide a while ,and we will take care of that a little later.

Cured of His Rhcugmlism The Remarkable Expericnce of a Rhcumatic Suiferer. Suffered Intenscly for Two Years— Could Get No Relie! Until He Took Haipruner’s—Cured i Two Weeks. A poor, lame sufferer came hobbling into Dr. Halpruner's office on ecrutches about three weeks ago. His every movement signified pain and dreadful suffering. This poor man had rheumatism fn his legs—he could barely walk—he had suf- fered for two years and during this time had taken many medicines and spent much money with well known doctors. He was in the throes of agony ard al- most without confidence in any cure. Dr. Halpruner provided a seat for the sufferer and made him as comfortable as possible, and as soon as he regained his composure he told a story of pain and misery—the result of contracting a severs case of rheumatism. For many years this poor man worked as night fireman in a manufacturing es- tablishment, where- he would become overheated from his work, and as his hour of quitting was 5 in the morn- ing he would go out of the warm fireroom into the cold, brisk morning air. On one severely cold morning this man was taken with severe pains in his legs. He was laid up with rheumatism for sev- eral menths, and after taking the best of care of himself seemed to get better. But as soon as he resumed his labor his rheu- matism returned, and he had not been without pain for almost eighteen months. He tried every medicine he had read of and visited scores of doctors, all of whom prescribed medicines for him to take. Ho took everything that was recommended for his rheumatism, but it still remained; the pains were still there and he would get no relief and was compeiled to suffer tortures that only a person who has had rheumatism can appreciate. A couple of weeks ago this sufferer no- ticed the announcements which claimed that Dr. Halpruner's Wonderful Medi- cine would cure rheumatism. This poor sufferer had so little confi- dence in advertised cures and paid littie attention to the announcements until he read of Iy. Halpruner giving trial treat- ment free, and he finally decided to visit Dr. Halpruner and see what could be done for his rheumatism. Dr. Halpruner gave him a trial treat- ment with Halpruner’s Wonderful Medi- cine, rubbing the medicine thoroughly into the painful parts. He also gave him an internal dose, and in less than two hours’ treatment the patient felt comsil- erably better. The pain had left him, but he still complained of .weakness. Dr. Halpruner gave him a bottle of the Wor- derful Medicine and advised him to take a teaspoonful every twb hours and te apply the medicine thoroughly to the af- flicted parts two or three times a day. Last week this same patient walked into the doctor’'s office without the aid of the crutches and apparently as well and spry as any man, and claimed that he was entirely cured of his rheumatism and most sincerely praised the effective- ness of Halpruner's Wonderful Medicine. All druggists sell Halpruner's Wonder- ful Medicine—50c and $1 a bottle. The dollar size contains three times the quan- tity of the smaller size. Some 3 may try to talk you out of it, but pay no attention to what they have to say and demand the zenuine Halpruner's A Trial Trealment.
