In accordance with the recommenda- of the Grand Jury Supervisor Bran- denstein presented several bills looking to the improvement of the street railway at terday's meeting of the The bills, which were referred the Street Committee, provide as follow Signs indicating the places on streets at | which the street cars stop for the purpose of | receiving or discharging passengers shall bLe | affixed upon the sidewalk or the curb thercof | under the supervision of the Board of Works. | Directing the Board of Works and Police De- | partment to cause the bob-tail ears left stand- Montgomery streets to be removed while not being used in the service of the public.

Supervisor Wynn introduced a resolution which was also referred to the Street Committee and provides that street rail- road cars shall be operated by competent and experienced motormen, gripmen and | onductors, The ordinunce makes it un- wrgl for any person not having seven days’ experience under the instraiction of an experienced motorman, gripman or | conductor to act as such. { The recommendation of the Police Com- | mitiee that the horeshoeing of the Polic: Department be awarded to Edward F. Graney, until further arrangements can be made, was adopted after a long wran- gle. Supervisor Boxton explained that the Police Commission had taken it upon itself to give the horseshoeing work out | on its own account without consuiting the | Board of Supervisors. Wynn opposed the ecommendation because he thought the city should its own horseshoeing. Brandenstein held that bids should be in- vited for the work and Braunhart con- | tended that it would be a violation of the the work out without | competitive bids. Graney, he said, had held a monopoly of the horseshoeing in | the past because of his political affilia- | tions with Sam Rainey. i Boxton said the Police Commission had | ignored the board not only in the mat- | ter of horseshoeing but in that of sta- | bling patrol wagons and repair of harness. Braunhart then referred to some political ancient history which caused Compte to rise to a point of order. | The gentle n forgets where he is,” | said Compte. “He is not at a Democratic | prima meeting.” “By what right does the Police Commit- tee give this contract to Mr. Graney?" asked Braunhart. BOXTON GETS EXCITED. “By what right did the former Police "' retorted Boxton excitedly. *You gat on the board and allowed it to do so. If you want to be personal I can tell you why you op- pose this resolution. It is because I in- troduced it and because you hate Mr. | Graney."” _Braunhart gave notice of reconsidera- tion after the resolution was adopted. The Department of Electricity was au- | thorized to spend the sum of $5000 for the interior fittings of the new central fire j alarm station in the City Hall The recommendation of Building Super- intendent Barnett that the gallery in the | assembly room of the board be removed | to improve the acoustic properties was referred to the Bullding Committee. Su- | pervisor Wynn opposed the removal of the gallery, saying “the Supervisors have | to_talk to something.” i The Building Committee notified the Veteran Firemen's Association to appear befcre the committee and state whether or not they are agreeable to occupy joint quarters with the Grand Army of the Re- | vacates its quarters at the City Hall. | The board adjourned to meet on Wed- nesday at 10 a. m. as a Board of Equali-| zation to hear petitions for reduction of assessments. | CRUISER BROOKLYN ‘ | ENDS HER SAD VOYAGE Body of Lord Pauncefote, Late Bri‘-{ ish Embassador at Washing- ton, Arrives in England. | SOUTHAMPTON, July 14.—The United ' States armored cruiser Brooklyn, from Annapolis July 1. having on board the re mains of Lord Pauncefote, late Embs sador of Great Britain at Washington, rived here this morning.

And a man to marry should know everything or nothing. Which do you know othing,” Ernest answers joyvously. To proceed to minor matters,” her Ladyship continues, turning over another leaf of her questions for eligibles applying for positions is, ‘“Are your parents liv- ing?"” 1 “They are both dead,” the particular eligible at the bar returns. “Both!" exclaims her shocked Ladyship. My friend, to lose one parent is a mis- fortune; to lose both argues criminal carelessness!"” And =o on and so on, until the unfortu- nate applicant is ied to confess that he was found by his adopted but also dead rents in a carpet bag, in a_waliting- ?som at Victorla station; Lady Bracknell demanding with delicious dignity if he can really expect under the circumstances that her daughter will marry into a waiting- room, with a parcel! ¥ Of course this is Oscar Wilde; equally of course it is Henry.Miller and his peo- ple who are giving it to us at the Colum- bia Theater. It happens, also. to be the harticular piece of Wildeness titled “The impormnce of Being Ernest,” though that is of less importance than being earnest. A good audience enjoyed the comedy last night, much better even than it was en- joyed on its first giving last year. The same audience would enjoy it considerably more to-night, and by fo-motrow evening would probably be ripe for its complete taking in. There is too much neat—pea- cock’s brains, phoenix wings, humming- birds' breasts—to get the full taste of in one evening. Epigram follows cpigram | with appalling swiftness, and the average listener must be well content to take in every other one, It would be charitabie in Mr. Miller, whose Ernest Worthing is deliciously sublimated farce, and Mr. Courtleigh, excellent but not quite letter- perfect Algernon Moncrieff, to slow down Some of their Speeches in their first scene, Mr, Wilde, Mr. Miller and Mr. Court- jeigh. would all thereby become more in- | telligible. It is the kind of thing that confronts the actor in “The Importance of Belng Ernes that tests the equipment of a company on its usually most vulnerable side. But how the Miller company stands the test! The gossamer lightness of touch essential to the very life of the comedy is present in almost every instance, and the delicious Alice-in-Wonderland inconse- auence of its atmosphere preserved to the last. Wilde, fatigued of the made-in- England problem play, could have found no better interpreters out of France for this, his whimsical deflance of jits be- clouded seriousness Martha Waldron, anather and new member of the Miller company, made a distinctly happy impression as Gwendolcn Fairfax, the young lady whose passion for the name Ernest leads to such sub- lime predicament. Miss Waldron fs grace- ful, sweet of voice and delicately and easily humorous. Ethel Hornick is a thought overweighty as Lady Bracknell, her pcints a little exaggerated, but the conception is in absolutely right key. Grace Elliston repeats her last year's dainty performance of the pinl epi- grammatic _ingenue's part, Mrs. Whiffen's Miss Prism fs all that it should be. Fred Thorne's Parson Chasuble is a stuunirg bit of character work, and the rosct please. Grand Opera-House. There was a good deal of interest taken last night in the new edition of “The Christian” that the Grand Opera-house is giving this week. E. J. Morgan remains the John Storm, and his terse, forceful and magnetic impersonation seems only to grow in power. Had “The Christian’ come first instead of last in the Morgan season at the Grand Opera-house there Miss on shows considerable power in the role, her ‘big scene in the third act belng carried through with much sympathy an strong emotional thrill. T. Daniel Fraw- ley also makes his first apnearance this season as Horatio Drake, sustaining the role with a manly and pleasing touch. The rest of the cast is all fairly efficient, and the play is staged in an elaborate man- ner. It promises to see another week's excellent busin Johr Tivoli. v in town will be humming the Everybod music of “The Serenade” this week, and, irdeed, until the grand opera season at the Tivoli opens. The impulse was given | 1ast evening, when Hartman and iis | tuneful and fun-making coterie revived | this very popular opera. The infiuence of | the seductive numbers will be even | stronger now, for the work is given in | good style—well sung, handsomely cos- tumed, efficiently acted and filled with sparkle and dash. Ferris Hartman has one topical song, in which there ars verses innumerable, though not half enough to sult the public demand, which the continued efforts of the audience last evening proved to be insatiable. From the “piff-paft’” chorus at the beginning until the final singing of the song from whici the opera gets its fame there was a great abundance of good mielody. The ‘“‘Ange- lug” concerted music took the house by storm, Steindorff conducting for all that could be found in it. So with the werk all along. Cashman made a good bit in the tailor’'s part. Edward Webb as the broken-down teénor was delightfully clev- er and funny, and Cunningham filled in | the part of Alvarado well. Oscar Lee | won a recall for a solo in the last act. A | large share of the vocal strength of the | performance was derived from Frances Graham and Annie Myers, and much alzo af the fun. In view of the success of the | opening night of *“The Serenade” it is safe to say that the comic opera season will end as successfully as it began. California. “The Lion’s Mouth,” the romantic love story by Henry Guy Carlton, was greetcd on its second night with a large and de- lighted audience, in which were many of San Francisco's fashlonable people. 1ts rounded periods and its current of sweet words glided along in a river of poeticai inspiration that gladdened the hearts of all who listened to its babblings. M. Warde is at his best as Paul di Novaru, young, flery and enthustastic, so graceful and light in actlon that the beholder won- ders whether this is the same Frederick Warde that played with Louis James so many years ago. But Warde 18 not yet old, nor is_he beginning to stale, On the contrary, he 8 old wine, ripe, mellow, crisp and exhilarating, thanks to the gods in tlkJ\e kingdom of the make-believe—not a walking corpse of the baneful school of repression.. The play is staged with Mr. ‘Warde's usual care and artistic taste, the costumes are rich and the women comely. Charles D. Herman, the Fra Angelo of the cast, is a good support. Judith Be- rolde, the daughter of the Dage, and May Warde, the Marcella, bear the feminina burden of the play most artistically. Orpheum. James J. Morton is the “funmaker su- preme’’ at the Orpheum this week. The press agent made no mistake in announc- ing that he is about as funny as any- thing that ever happéned. He tells stories in a way peculiarly his own and in a manner that gives one the impression that they are original. Some of them are. His songs are as good us his stories. The s Husaell Srothers are as mirth-provoking flsuever. The skit “Billie’s First Love” is very cleverly presented by W. D. Greene, Val};rle Bergere and Rose Btuart. The sicians, and the Erettos do as clever an acrobatic turn as has ever been seen at the Orpheum. Carson and Willard are Lowe-Hughes trio is a clever set of mu- | 4l two Dutch comedians, who manage to ive .the audience a chance to laugh eartily over their assaults on the Eng- | lish language. The acrobatic turn of the | Rosseaus is extremely good, and the bio- graph pictures are fine enough to hold the major portion of the audience in their seats until the curtain falls. . Central. Last night was a record breaker for en- thusiasm at - the Central Theater. “A Dark Secret” was the bill. In the or- | chestra were Olympians and Dolphins by | the hundred, and they were there for the| purpose of making memorable the advent | of a new star in the Céhtral Theater | firmament. The star was the redoubtable Al W. Pape, champion amateur singie | sculler of the Pacific Coast—the man who has times without number borne the co!- ors of the Olympic and the Dolphin clubs to victory on the wave. There were other heroes in the thrilling drama, but Pape was the real, real thing. In the regatta scene the single scull race is about to be | forfeited to the villain of the piece on| account of the hero’s sudden disablement, | when an American steps in and volun-| teers to row as the hero's substitute AIMS TO RAIGE LABORERS" PAY Board Wants Park Com- mission to Obey . Ordinance. Mayor Approves of the Man- agement of Sailors’ ,Home. The Board of Supervisors adopted a res- olution yesterday calling the attention of the Park Commissioners to the provisions of ordinance No. 425, providing for the payment of $2 50 per day to park laborers from July 1, 1902, and requesting that body to provide for the literal cnforce- ment of the terms of the ordinance. 1he resolution recites that the Park Comm sion voted that the wages of park labor- ers remain at $2 per day, as at present, | although the Board of Supervisors in fix- ing the budget allowed the commission the maximum rate allowed by law and insured, in the opinion of the Supervisol a sufficient sum to provide for the - creased wage to park laborers without - jury to the service. The Mayor filed a report regarding a request of the board as to whether the terms and conditions under which the | city possesses the Sailors’ Home are be- | ing compHed with. The Mayor finds that | the letter and spirit of the conditions of the trust of the Congressional grant, and also the stipulations in the lease as pre- scribed by the Board of Supervisors, are being carefully observed. The Mayor states that the officers of the Sailors’ U ion express their unqualified approval of the management, and say that the home | is not equaled by any other similar insti- | tum]zé; in any of the seaport citles of the | world. An expenditure of $2498 40 was author- ized in payment to Mayor Schmitz for cx. penses incurred in celebrating the nation- al anniversary this year. | ‘The Mayor was authorized to purchase for the city for $25,000 a lot on the north side of Bush street, near Taylor, for the ! use of the fire department. ORDERS MORE LIGHT. The San Francisco Gas Company was requested by resolution to install sixt one electric lights and forty-eignt lamps in various parts of the city. The Olympic Club was granted permis- sion to hold amateur boxing contests on July 18. Chief of Police Wittman notified the board that when the list of eligibles from the Civil Service Commission is an- ncunced and the men appointed to tne police force the outlying districts, now n»m&out protection, will be properly pu- ced. The following ordinances were finaliy passed: Describing for submission to a vote of the péople five charter amendments to simplify AMUSEMENTS. TIVOLE EVENINGS AT § SHARP! \IF SATURDAY AT 2 SHARP!

PETITIONS REFERRED. The following petitions were réferred to proper committees: From the San Francisco Retail Merehants’ Assoclation_protesting against granting a per- mit to the Merchants’ Exchange for a building 200 feet in height and requesting that the limit be fixed at 100 feet;. protesting against the in- stalling of arc lights on sand lots while peti- tions for lights on Fillmore and Devisadero streets have been filed by retail merchants and petitioning for the proper cleaning of the strests named; petitioning the board to ignore all prc. tests against the grading of Polk street and re- questing that the adoption of all charter amendments be postponed until ‘August, wheu & broposed charter amendment convention will be_held. From the Municipal Federation of Improve- ment Clubs protesting against the proposed ordinance increasing the present limit on the height of bulldings. Pape had the part of the American voi- | unteer oarsman, and he acquitted him-| self like a veteran of the stage. The race | was rowed in an immense tank and real | racing shells were used. The scene was exceedingly realistic, and when the pop- | ular Dolphin sped along the course with | perfect ‘ace, distancing the villain, the | audience gave vent to thunders of ap- | plause that fairly shook the building. Pape was called out again and again, Ther¢ were demands for a speech, but the favorite oarsman was dumb with grateful appreciation. To cap the climax | of the affair, six able-bodied men from | the Dolphin Boating and Swimming Club carried to the stage an immense floral piece—the flag of the Dolphin Club with | cressed oars worked in biooms of many hues. Pape could only bow his acknowl- | edgments. The curtain went up half a dozen times before the galleries were sat- isfled. The performance was full of merit all through. Alcazar. A packed house greeted the opening | night of the sixth week of Florence Rob- | erts as Zaza at the Alcazar. The iong | run of this play has not seemed to di- | minish in any way the fervor and art with which this production wasg at first placed before the San Francisco public. Miss Roberts continttes to give the pas- sionate, half-pathetic, half-humorous im- personation of the heroine’s character, while Mr. Whittlesey as Bernard was equally strong in a very difficult part. All of the members of the company are at their best, and George Osbourne deserves especial praise for the manner in which he translates himself into thé rather for- eign character of Cascart. This will be the last week of ‘‘Zaza. Fischer’s. Fischer's was crowded to the doors, as usual, last night, and the triple bill, com- posed of “Pousse Cafe,” ‘‘Antony and Cleopatra” and “A Royal Family,” kept the audience in spasms of laughter. Kolb, Rarnard, Dill and Maude Amber take the leading parts in all three of the traves- ties, and are never allowed to leave the stage without responding to a half-dozen encores. The horse race in the second production and the song ‘“The Rose of Killarney” in the first proved the most popular features of the performance, al- though there is no moment from the rise to the fall of the curtain into which there is not crowded all manner of fun. “Hurly Burly” and “Zaza" are announced to fof. jow, when the present bill shall have be- ccme worn out. Chutes. Matsuda’s troupe of Japanese acrobats, jugglers, top spinners and sword walkers appeared for the first time in America at the Chutes yesterday and made an immediate hit before an immense audi- ence at both performances. Hughey Em- mett, a capital ventriloquist and mimic: Sam and Frank Heward, singing, danc- ing and talking comedians, and Avery and Hart, colored comedians, were also | new and scored successes.
