OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES GOES TO SUPREME BENCH Noted Massachusetts Jurist Is Appointed a Member of the Highest Tribunal of the United States to Succeed Justice Gray, Who Retires Because of Failing Health|Grand Opera-House Pre- B 1 | 11 | I L ‘! OYSTER BAY, Aug. 11.—President | Roosevelt late this afternoon an- nounced that he had appointed Oliver Wendell Holmes, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of | Massachusetts, to be an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United | States, vice Justice Gray, resigned. | The resignation of Justice Gray was due { to fll health. Several months ago he suf- fered a stroke of apoplexy, which some time later was followed by another. He | has not appeared on the bench since he | was stricken the first time. His advanced age—74 years—told against his recovery | with serious force. Realizing that he probably never would be able again to as- sume the place whick he so long had filled with distinguished ability and honor, he decided a short time ago to tender his res- ignation to_the President. With the ex- ception of Justice Harlan, he had served upon the bench of the United States Su- preme Court longer than any of his pres- ent colleagves.

Like Jus: on and namesake of the lafe Dr. , the poet. WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—Justice Gray's resignation was not altogether unexpect- ed. It was recognized that he would be unable to resume his duties on the bench, and the general impression was that hs would resign at or before the beginning of the next term of court, in October. His successor, it isysaid, will not take his place on the behch until after his con- firmation by the Senate.- This is the un- written practice in the case of appoint- ments to the Supreme Court. Justice Gray has been at Nahant, Mass., his summer home, for some time. During his long ca- reer on the bench of the Supreme Court Justice Gray delivered a number of im- portant opinions. He was remarkably ex- act and deliberate, and frequently spent congiderable time in the preparation of his decisions. His specialty was will cases, although he participated in the considera- tion of many of the important issues which came before the court. Justice Gray was with the majority of the court in the decisions in the income tax cases and the insular cases. Another import- ant cause of recent date was that grow- ing out of the Spanish-American war, in which Justice Gray- decided against the right of the Government to seize certain fishing smacks, the property of Cubans, which the United States authorities be- lieved were giving ald and assistance 10 the enemy. Justice Gray was always an ardent Republican. Like his successor in office, he was Chief Justice of the Su- preme Court of Massachusetts before his %ppmtnlment to the United States Supreme ourt. @ et bbbl @ FARMERS COMPLAIN OF RAIDS BY STRIKERS State Troops May Be Sent to Check Foraging in Vicinity of Coal Fields. SHENANDOAH, Pa., Aug. 11.—Com- plaint was made tp brigade headquarters | to-day that strikers are roraging in the | rich ‘agricultural district north of here. | The life of one farmer has been threat- | ened because he attempted to protect his | property and the raids have reached such | serfous proportions that the farmers are preparing to take some concerted action to stop further depredations. It is not | unlikely that cavalry will be sent into the district to-motrow to stop the raids. | Lucien Munbeck, a farmer, reported | | that for some time past raids have been | | made on his place by parties of men. | | Early to-day he caught a man taking out whole stalks of corn. He ordered the | man off the place and as the latter was | leaving he fired two shots at the farmer. | The foragers do not confine'themselves to | stealing crops, but also take poultry. The soldiers in camp are dally feeding several hundred women and children. They come there saying they are hungry, and as there is more than enough food in the camp to supply the wants of the men the officers permit the soldiers to give something to the needy applicants. Colonel Hoffman of the Eighth Regiment was asked if all these persons were for- eigners and he replied that a good many belonged to the English-speaking classes, The officials of the Mine Workers’ Union deny that there is any actual want. They maintain the local unions are well able at this time to take care of all cases of distress. —_— GENERAL BERTI’S TROOPS HOLD A STRONG POSITION No Definite News of Battle Between Government and Revolutionary Forces at Agua Dulce. COLON, Colombia, Aug. 11.—No definite news has reached here of the battle be- tween Government troops and revolution- ists at Agua Dulce, but it is said that General Berti, the Government leader, is still holding a strong position at Agua Duice and has been able to break through weak points of General Herrera's lines for the purpose of obtaining cattle. Gov- ernment reinforcement from Savanilla are expected early at the isthmus. Nothing has been heard of the Govern- ment gunboat Boyaca, which has been missing since July 29, when she left Pana- ma with 300 men on board to reinforce General Berti at Agua Dulce. VICTORIA, B. C., Aug. 11.—It is said that the Colomblan Government, which has purchased the steamer Cutch for war purposes, has been negotiating with the Canadian Pacific Railroad for the pur- chase of the steamers Athenian and the Tartar for a similar purpose. ———— LIVERPOOL, Aug. 11.—Imports of wheat into Liverpool last week were 69,700 guarters from Atlantic ports, 15,000 from Pacific and 71,000 from other ports.

St Y Lovers of Blackmore’s quaint romance, “Lorna Doone,” must have been a little puzzled by the X-ray view of the book | presented to them last jight at the Grand Opera-house in Mr. Tassin's dramatiza- | tion of the story. Those unfamiliar with Blackmore's leisurely romance were in still more parious case, with only a hurly- burly of “Varlets!” cut and thrust to-dos, teries by the bunch as a means of getting at the plot. It is perhaps too much to ex- pect any dramatist save a Chinese with | a four-night cycle to count upon to ar- | range the Blackmore book into an intel- ligible entertainment while retaining any semblance of the story, the quaint incident that lends charm to the book for the purpose of getting dra- matic strength; or of crowding the situa- tions into an indigestible and stodgy mass, as Mr. Tassin has chosen to do in his agrangement. There are, however, scenes that promise well, the first of the are imprisoned by the brigand, Doone, John Ridd; and also Lorna’s nome-coming in the second half of the act. But the en- suing scenes peter out woefully, though saved in places by good acting. The piece has been handsomely mounted and has every assistance of scene illusion. Alice Johnscn is the Lorna, and patural and charming in the part. She shows a pliant and quick fancy in the conception, though hampered heavily by the play’'s incongruities, and Mr. Lackaye’s refriger- ated john Ridd. Inremembering to be hon- est Mr. Lackaye forgets to be much else that the big Cornishman is supposed to have been. Granted that Ridd is phleg- matic, Lorna Doone, daughter of a hud- dred earls or so, is in love with him, he with her, and in the book Mr. Ridd does rot show himself so monumentally in- But when he has brought his lady love to his mothers’ house, Mr. Lackaye says “To think she is the next room quite as ardently as~he would apostro- phise a china dog. And so on. It is not Mr. Lackaye's kind of part, it have been ill spent upon it. As good work as any 1s done by Mrs. CGardner Crane as Gwenny, the" serving maid. She is entirely delightful in the part, with a fast color dialect and a hu- morous grasp of the character that could not be bettered. Theodore Roberts does | strong and effective work as Carver F Doone, and Gardner Crane is an excel- lent Councilor Doone. Harry Cashman | freys and Royal Dana Tracy contributes | a striking bit of character work as Jef- freys’ clerk. Tivoli. Signorina Ines de Frate was heard for the first time last Opera-house in her greatest part, Norma. The house was thoroughly filled in honor of the event and in anticipation of a, rare pleasure. A voice well under control and splendidly managed, with its lower notes liguid and sweet and its upper notes strong and brilliant, the whole excellent- ly adapted to Bellini's florid music, is to be set down to the credit of De Frate, She is hampered by a few mannerisms, but progressed steadily in the favor of the audience, each succeeding act bring- ing the audience and De Frate into closer sympathy. There is no question that De Frate made a hit. Bravos greeted her in the first act when, after rendering ‘‘Casta Diva’ she sang the next song in her role, that 1s perhaps better suited to her than is the “Casta Diva” number, and ended with a brilliant hign note, full, well sus- tained, clear and ringing. Her best num- Ler was the duet with Signorina Pozzi, ‘“‘Hear Me, Norma.” In this both si wop laurels. Much credit must alss e given to Signorina Pozzi. Her Adalgisa was satisfactory from several points of view, particularly from the dramatic side. Signor Dado, always satisfying, improved his opportunities’ amply in the roic of Oroveso. Signor Pietro Venerandi lacked something of making the most of the part of Pollio. His voice was hardly competent to the exacting task imposed upon it. As usual, the or- chestra was In good trim, the overture calling out warm applause. The choru., especially the male portion of it, filled its part weil. ““Norma™ is one of the best productions of the season taKen as a whole. The opera will be heard Wednes- day, Friday and Saturday evenings. “Car- men” will alternate. California. Frederick Warde and his capable com- pany are presenting “Damon and Pythias" in excellent style at the California this week. Warde himself is seen {n one of the strongest characters in his varied rep- ertoire, and gives a virile impersonation of Damon. He reads his lines with per- fect enunciation and his parting with his wife, Hermion, is given with a tender- ness that only Warde can instill into the scene. Charleg D. Herman as Pythlas easily divides honors with the star.” Her- man is a reliable actor in more senses { than one, and rises to the occasion at all times. The battle between his.faith in his friend and his passing doubt of Da- mon’s inconstancy was superbly done. H. M. Conner makes an acceptable Dionysius and Francis McGinn is all that can be de- sired as Philistlus. Miss Antoinette Ash- ton plays Calanthe, Pythias’ betrothed, with true womanly gra nd Miss Anna Roberts as Hermion, wifé to Damon, is | equal to the part. The production ranks as the best of the many good plays inter- preted by Warde and his support. At the end of the fourth act last nigtt Warde made one of his graceful speeches, in which he referred to the presence in this city of the Knights who take their name from one who valued friendship too much to prove false to its tenets. Columbia. Henry Miller has found ‘“The Only ‘Way” to excel in his art and to erect his popularity upon an enduring basis, and the role of Sidney Carton affords him/the way to do it. It was a high compliment to him and his excellent company that the opening night of his second week in Dickens’ most sublime and pathetic crea- tion should have been distinguised by a crowded house and an audience equal in quality and appreciation to the best that has been seen within the four walls of the Columbia. It was a rare intellectual and artistic treat, and the audience kept the curtain going between the acts with not- to-be-dented calls for Mr. Miller and Miss Anilln. The Wednesday matinee of “The Only Way” at the Columbia will not be given this week, owing to the parade on that day. . A special place on Thurzday afterncon. Seats pur- chased for Wednesday's matinee will be accepted on Thursday afternoon. The regular Saturday matinee will be given. Central. Grattan Donnelly’s clever and diverting farce comedy, “A Night at the Circus,” drew an immense audience to the Central last night and a greater comedy hit has never been achieved in this city.. It kept. the audlence in roars of laughter from start to finish and the management could not have selected a more suitable pro- gramme for this festive season. ‘,I'lm scenery and costumes are magnificent, the- dialogue bright and witty and a very strong -cast, in which ‘really funny jans and clever and handsome girls figured conspicuously, _delighted all present.

His Imperial High- iness was a much interested spectator, ! and on ome or two occasions ventured to | applaud. It is not the proper thing for | real nobility to indulge itself after the manner of common clay, and when one gets a hand from a Duke it is a‘thing to remember. Professor George Miehling | will remember all the rest of his life how | the Czar's cousin “put it én him.” | “His Grace has an unconsclous humor all his own. He had never gone in for i boxing. It1is a relic of barbarism of ages | ago in his country. “But then they fought with their fists,” he said, “and that hurt. There was no | such thing as you call fake. Once a man { was nearly killed and the authorities | stopped the sport. We fight now with | our feet—sayatte, in which one grows | very skillful.” | _ Al Lean, the club’s trainer, and George ! Michling, the instructor, gave two lively wrestling bouts, which tickled his High- | ness immensely. Miehling took the first fall and gave the second one to Lean. | Matt Harris and Charles Bailey slugged { each other for a couple of rounds, Jack McCarthy and Joe Collins alternating | with them. Then, as Billy Jordan would remark, came ‘“‘the event of the evening.” | This was a “fake” finish fight between Danny Danziger and Billy Leonard, which | was worked up to the queen’s taste, or, | rather’ to the Duke's taste, for he de- clared that he wouldn't take the drubbing for his monthly income in rubles. Once, in a_wild swing, Collins nearly landed on his Highness through the ropes, but the wild punch never feazed the Duke. Miehling did his celebrated strong act. He lifted a €5-pound dumbbell, then a Ti- pounder and lastly one weighing 103 pounds. After each performance the pro- fessor brought his feet together, placed his hand on his solar plexus and bowed three times to his Imperial Highness. The Duke crossed over and picked up the 103- pounder just to be sure that the required weight was tgere. Then he picked up the 65-pounder and sent it up above his head as if it were his walking stick. Then he clicked his feet together, like the pro- fessor had done, stroked his solar plexus and “nodded three, times” to the audience, It was the hit of the performance. The <rally” that Miehling got drove him to his dressing-room. His Highness was presented to Paul Steindorf, leader of the Tivoli orchestra. He complimented Paul on his deft wiel ing of the baton, but said that his women were not just right. He bowed both arms in front of him, indicating embonpoint. ‘‘How can you have such an Aida?" he said, with a shrug. Whereat everybody laughed, and the Duke invited them ail to smile. His was a highball. “That was a very fine exhibition,” he said to Mr. McWililams, “and we thank you very much for the entertainment. The wrestling was fine and the boxing great. I think I will go in for a little training myself. know."" The Duke gave Mr. McWilllams and 59!{19 ktrzgll:ds a dlnnerhlast night.

Howard Scott as Dechelette was also_a great fa- vorite. Walter Belasco, Miss Marie Howe and George Webster have excellent suc- cess in looking after the humorous parts. The others of the cast ably supnort the leaders. The play, although a trifie risque in parts, has always been very successful in San Francisco and in recognition of the presence of the city’s numerous guests at this time great care has been taken in the preparation of the production. It should prove one of the greatest attrac- tions of the week. Fischer’s. The fun at Fischer's Theater goes mer- rily on from week to week, and last night the cozy place of amusement was as crowded as ever. “Pousse Cafe,” “An- tony and Cleopatra” and “A Royal Fam- fly” are so full of hearty enjoyment that people never seem to get tired of seeing them. Kolb, Dill and Bernard, the princes of funmaking, and Winfleld Blake intro- duced some new gags and quips last night, nd the songs of Maude Amber as usual ‘charmed the audience. The dancing of Flossie Hoge and Gertie Emerson, and the antics of Charlotte Vidot, the doll, were highly appreciated. A large number of ladies were among the audience. Brownies in Fairyland. The success of “The Brownies in Fairy- land” was emphasized last night ‘when, notwithstanding counter attractions in theaters and on the streets, the Alhambra ‘was more than well patronized. The little tots who comprise the company have im- proved on their first efforts and give a performance which would be creditable in artists, of more mature years. The prineipals in particular have the poise, the ease and grace of professionals, and naturalness is by far their greatest charm. .Six additional performances are to be given this week, matinees being scheduled for Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

SALT LAKE, Aug. I1.—"“Corianton,” & spectacular drama, by Professor Orestes Bean of Utah, was presented for the firsg time at the Salt Lake Opera-house to- night, Joseph Haworth appearing in the title role. The play is an Aztec romance and is founded on an incident recorded in the Book of Mormon. The principal tra- dition_of the Aztecs that is developed in the play is the one that holds that white Christ was to come to a reign o peace. Corianton is the wayward son of the high priest, and his mission to the Zoramites, who centuries later according to the Book of Mormon destroyed the white Nephites, form the main theme of the play. The scenic effects and cos= tumes are magnificent, and the play, though draggy at times, euped.an_r;aln the dialogues, was well received. play has extended Eastern booking. The play abounds with stifring scenes and the climaxes are thrilling.

He received ovations con- tinually throughout the play, and even at the end of the first act was called before the curtain six times.
