MEMCRY FOOD. ‘ A Case Where Memory Was Strength- | ened by Grape-Nuts. | i O-NIGHT the Pollard Australian Juvenile Opera Company will be heard again in “A Galety Girl,” the merry - musical comedy that was so much enjoyed during its two weeks’ production at the beginning of this company’s season at the Tivoli. Next week the young people will present “In Town,” to be given for the first time in this city. It is said to be a particu- larly bright and catchy musical comedy. On the 16th the Tivoli Company returns to present the nmew Christmas extrava- ganza, “Little Red Riding Hood.” w8 Next week Jefferson de Angelis will ap- pear at the Columbia in “A Royal Rogue.” From De Angelis’' previous of- ferings it may reasonably be surmised that “A Royal Rogue” is worth some- thing, he having been connected with a number of comic opera successes of the first rank. Charles Klein, author of the book of “El Capitan,”” has furnished the book of “A Royal Rogue,” and the music is by W. T. Francis. De Angelis is.a native of California, but has not been here for some twenty years. “The Girl From Maxim's” is the pres- ent bill, and has neither wit, wisdom nor any other quality requisite for reasonable entertainment. i “To-morrow evening at the Grand Opera- house emotional drama will take the place of grand opera, with Minnie Selig- man in “The Crust of Society.” Miss Seligman is here for a limited starring engagement with the stock company of the Grand Opera-house, and will appear in a number of emotional roles during her engagement. - S . “A Stranger in a Strange Land” is find- ing many admirers at the California Theater this week.

When they arrived upon the scene the real trouble began. The police approached the shack and ordered Simayini to open the door. He repiied by firing another load of buckshot through the door. While he was reload- ing his gun the officers tried to break | down the door, but were unsuccessful. Simayini remained behind the barricaded door and fired three more shots at the Finally Sergeant Price’s posse broke in the doqr and . Officer Taylor jumped into the room and sprang upon Simayini. In the struggle which ensued for possession of the shotgun Taylor found it necessary to rap Simayini on the head several times with his club. He was finally over- powered and taken to the hospital, where his wounds were dressed. Later he was removed to the City Hall Prison, where he was booked on a charge of assault with intent to commit murder.

BAKER CITY, Or.,, Dec. 4.—George Biles, a well known character in this city, was shot and killed early this morning in | the Log Cabin saloon by David Staley, a faro dealer. Staley was dealing the game, when one of the players became insulting and Staley ordered him to leave. He refused to go and Staley arose to eject him, when Biles, who was sitting at the table, but not playing, interfered. Staley told Biles to mind his own busi- nes: Biles arose with an oath, saying: 11 go and get heeled and get you.” Staley called another man to deal and went. out into the saloon. Biles returned about ten minutes later, armed with a long knife, and started for Staley. When about ten feet away Staley took up a shotgun and shot Biles in the left breast. Biles walked about ten feet and fell dead. Staley was arrested and placed in the County Jail. The Coroner’s jury to-day returned a verdict justifying the killing on the ground of seif-defens CHIEF COUNSEL HERRIN LEAVES FOR NEW YORK Goes East to Receive Orders as to His Duties by President Har- riman. William F. Herrin, chief counsel of the Southern Pacific Company, left for New York last evening. Julius Kruttschnitt is still in New York, and it is supposed that Herrin is to receive orders in re- gard to his duties in the future. Kruttschnitt and Herrin never were friendly, as the former always thought Herrin mingled a great deal too much in polities. It is supposed that Kruttschnitt made a complaint to Harriman and said that if he was to be his representative in San Francisco he would like Herrin to thoroughly understand- his position. After Charles M. Hays retired it was thought that Herrin had gained a vic- tory and that he would be the local-rep- resentative of the Southern Pacific. This, however, did not happen to be the case. Kruttschnitt held on and was soon ap- pointed Harriman's assistant, It is ru- mored that he received the responsible Bost through the infiuence of J. Bierponi Morgan, whom he met here during Mor- gan’s recent visit to the coast, and who on his return to New York told Harri- man that Kruttschnitt was a most com- petent railroad man. ‘What Herrin's orders will be is causing all sorts of conjectures, and his return to San Francisco s eagerly awaited. i 3 * ville stage, are at the Orpheum this week.

GALVE. APPEARS i IN BIZET OPERA Mme. Gadski Will Sing Farewell To-Day at Matinee. ) Eames and Sembrich Appear This Evening and End the Season. BY BLANCHE PARTINGTON. The third Calve “Carmen” was given last night at the Grand Opera-house, and the immense audience found the singer in yet another mood than on the previous occasions. She had acquired somewhere another cold, and sang all evening under the cruellest difficulty. The capricious Calve showed here a heroism that cannot be too much admired, though the strain on the sympathetic listener was almost as severe as upon the brave singer. Those hearing her last night got only the faint- Pen Wipers........cccceeeee 25 | est conception of the lovely voice, except Match Scratchers ... 25¢ | in the third act, where it came out with Shavi P C | something of its rich and rare beauty. having Paper Cases. 90c Neither was she at all herself otherwise— naturally enough—though there were flashes of the brilliant genius that have before delighted in the part. She varied the detail of the role just as before, with a matchless dramatic in- stinct, but the performance as a whole lacked fire, spirit and the magnificent verve that only those who have seen her Santuzza know her to possess in such marvelous degree. It is a thousand shames that this should have so happened. The | house that welcomed the singer was noc surpassed in numbers by any of the pre- ceding ones of the season—an audience, too, friendly, alert and prepared for ad- miration to its last unit. But the people showed their sympathy with the singer in friendliest fashion, applauding her to the echo after each effort, and Calve de- served every note of applause that she got. But they did not hear the Calve of Jast Monday night, the vivid, gorgeous, palpitant creature gifted vocally beyond dreams, and acting' as no other actress than Bernhardt has acted here. It is a pity all round, for Calve and her audi- ence, She leaves for the East to-morrow. The good wishes of every one who heard her heroic effort of last night will go with her, but such a strain as the singer sub- Jjected herself to is likely to leave its mark 101; many silent weeks. One can only hope not. 4 Suzanne Adams came out strongly in the part of Micaela.. The young Ameri- can is steadily improving in her work. She is more plastic, freer and in every sense broader than last year, and her Micaela is among her most satisfying ef- forts. Salignac's Don Jose was full of fire—and tremolo, and Scotti"s Escamillo pleases mildly. I cannot understand how s0 accomplished and temperamental a singer contrives to strain out of his con- ception of the toreador’s role so much of bis characteristic spirit. Declery, as be- fore, was a wobbly Zuniga, and Gilibert, Reiss, Miss Bauermeister and Mme. Van Cauteren filled acceptably the remainder of the cast. Flon conducted. Ay CALVE WINS MUCH SYMPATHY. Diva Is Distressed During Her Fare- well Performance. Calve, the famous songstress, is indeed the victim of ill fortune. Last night, when she made her farewell in “Carmen,” the Grand Opera-house was packed to the very doors and the diva unfortunately was suffering from a relapse of the cold that has played havoe with her voice. Yet last week when she sang in “Caval- | leria Rusticana” and gave a thrilling per- formance there was a ‘‘beggarly array of empty seats” to greet her eves. The audience last night was as big as the one that witnessed the performance of “Le Nozzi di Figaro” last Monday af- ternoon, and dozens of men and women were content to listen to the opera from positions outside the swinging doors to the theater. When Caive first appeared it was no- ticed by all present that she was suffer- ing from a cold, and she repeatedly coughed. She seemed in great distress, and appealed mutely to the audience at the end of her first song. The response was one of sympathy. From all over the theater came shouts of applause that nerved the diva to her ar- duous task. She finished the act and was recalled many times. Then a representa- tive of Manager Grau appeared before the | curtain and asked the indulgence of the | audience for Calve, who was singing in order mnot to disappoint -those 'who had Hairpin Boxes ..........
