The poem, declaimed by Mr. Heinrich, and with intermezzi for the pianoforte and occasional accompaniment %o the pocm interpreted by Miss Heinrich, proved to be a brilllantly interesting number. Miss Heinrich's accompaniment was not al- | ways distinguished by complete sym- pathy, though she s technicall delightfully adequate, and neither is Mr. Heinrich's diction of the clearest, but the reciter’s admirable dramatic sense, fine poetic grasp and rich vocal charm com- bined to give a vivid picture of the Ten- nyson poem, to which the Strauss music lent a rare and eminent grace. The com- poser speaks as one having authority, in compelling note and new voice. There are strange, and lovely as strange, harmonies in this “melodrama,” of which, musicalily, | there is just sufficient to make one wish | for more. It was received with consid- ’(»rabie enthusiasm last | recital. ———————— | LICHTENBERG MUST PAY DUTIES ON HIS CIGARS Arrive at Honolulu Before Philippine Act Went Into Effect, but Are Not Unladen.

The Secretary of the Treasury holds that as the goods were | consigned to San Franclsco and were not | brought to Honolulu with any intention | of being unladen there, they were not im- | ported into the United States until the | Steamer arrived in_this port, and were | therefore liable to duty. s Setodt PSS | X¥OOKED DOWN BY A CAR [ | AND SERIOUSLY INJURED Japanese Domestic Narrowly Escapes | Being Killed in an Accident on Pacific Avenue.

Miss Annette Marshall’s Apartments Ransacked and Valuable Arti- cles Stolen. The flat at 531 Golden Gate avenue oc- cupled by Miss Annette. Marshall, leading lady at the Central Theater, was entered by burglars Sunday night and articles ot the value of $2000 were stolen. Miss Mar- shall left the house about 7:30 o'clock to £0 to the theater, and was certain that all the doors and windows were locked. ‘When she returned after the performance the doors and windows were still locked, but every room had been ransacked. Among the articles stolen were a seal- skin coat valued at $500, several valuable gowns, silverware, a pair of rare candle- sticks, two old majolica plates of great value and some jewelry. Fortunately Miss Marshall had taken the greater part of her jewelry to the theater with her. The covering of the furniture had been ripped open, presumably in a search-for hidden money. The police are working on a clew which may lead to the arrest of the burglars. Miss Marshall had two keys to the front door of her flat, and one she always left at the theater. It cannot be found since the burglary, although a search has been made fow it. st SS ety Juggled With Barber Shop. C.

The various committees have begun work. Reports from all sections of the State show that great interest is Deing taken in the club meeting, and it is now certain that be- tween 2000 and 3000 delegates will be pres- ent. - The general committee of local Republi- cans in charge of the convention arrange- ments will leave noth‘? undone to en- tertain the delegates.

In order to make certain that the visitors will have ample accommodations the committee will open headquarters to- morrow, and all those who have rooms to let will be listed.

Goaded by the sharp spur of bitter re- morse, August R. Richard, an insurance solicitor of Indianapolis, attempted to commit sulcide yesterday morning at his lodgings, 333 O'Farrell street, by firing a bullet into his head. His aim was bad and the bullet, instead of finding a fatal spot, ranged downward and passed out through his nose.

He will recover, byt the sight of his right eye s destroyed. t Richard says he believed he would lease God by taking his life. He had en drinking heavily lately, and hi§ re- morse was occasioned by thoughts of«his family, which he deserted in St. Charles, Mo.. and also by the memory of a murder which he claims he committed in Missis- sippl. He says that he was moved to commit suicide by a voice from heaven. which demanded that he make reparation for the murder 1nd for his cruelty in de- serting his family. —_———— Stole the Kruttschnitt Jewels.

JUDGE REFUSES TO GIVE CHILDREN TO FATHER Decides That Aunt Who Has Reared Them Is Best Fitted for Their Custody. A pretty little girl cried and sobbed in a heart-breaking manner yesterday in Department 9 of the Superior Court be- cause her father, who/ has left her to the care of her aunt for the last eleven years, tried to regain custody of her. The little girl, who is only 13 years of age, and her brother, who is two years older, are the children of Fred P. Anthes, who, eleven years ago, shortly after the death of his wife, gave his children into the custody of his sister-in-law, Miss Louise Rothe- mal. He paid no attention to them until a short time ago, when he arfflounced that he had married a second time and asked that the children be given into his cus- tody. Miss Rothemal refused and he brought the matter into the courts. After listening to the testimony of friends of-both parties and witnessing the grief which the idea of separation from Miss Rothemal seemed to cause the chil- dren, the court made an order appointing her their guardian. Judge Coffey held that while the father had a natural right to the custody of the children, the love they showed for their aunt was enough to convince him that she was the proper guardian. ———— Police Officers6n Trial.
