ROME, Aug. 13.—Recently published statements that the famous Borghez Pal- tatively denied by the legal representa- tives of the Borghez family. A Rome dispatch on June 24 announced that the Itallan Government had pur- chased the Borghez art gallery for $800, Bor- > of financlal difficulties. In 01, Prince Borghez offered to November, 1§ donate to the Italian nation all of his | paintings except Titian's “Sacred and | Profane Love,” if he were allowed to sell | the picture abroad. It was said he had been offered $1,000,000 for this painting. | The Government refused him permission to sell it abroad —_——— Attacked the Overseer. Geno Sobrana, Guiseppe Bozzi and Olin- to Shranca were arrested yesterday and booked at the City Prison on a warrant charging them with battery.

It Is also handsomely staged and has the fur- ther interest of being the play’s first pro- duction in the West. Conspicuous among the good work done in the play is Alice Johnson’s assumption of the title role. Miss Johnson has done much to interest and charm her audiences during her en- gagement with the Frawleys, but as Lor- na Doone has notably added to her repu- tation. She looks the part with conspicu- ous success, 25 well in her simple brown gown among the wild Doones as in her fine feathers as Lord Jeffreys’ ward later. And Miss Johnson shows the best of her natural and thoughtful method in the conception. She has a gift of graceful coquetry and an alry dignity that fit Blackmore’'s heroine very aptly, and is not at all wanting in the embotional re- quirements of the part. Just as good but in entirely different vein is Mrs. Gardner Crane’s serving maid to Lorna, Gwenny, a faithful, awkward country wench, who is caught to the life by Mrs. Crane. It is a_delightful bit of Acting, full of humor, | truth and refreshing naturalness, and in itself quite worth the price of admission. Theodore Roberts is very sufficient as Carver Doone, Wilton Lackaye is not ppily cast as John Doone and Gardner Crane is effective as the counselor. The rest fill in to advantage. Next week, the last of the Frawley company engagement, will have “Sccret Service’” for the bill, with Mr. Frawley and Miss Van Buren in the cast. oty . “The Only Way" is in its last few days at the Columbia Theater, with a record of large success to its account. Next week comes one of the principal events of the Miller-Anglin season in the first appearance of the co-stars as Camille and Armand Duval in “Camille.” Much is ex- pected from Margaret Anglin as Camille. Her work of later years has shown her eminently fitted for emotional roles, and all kinds of wandering admiration is afloat concerning the newest role in her emotional repertoire. Her Camille may place her, may mark Miss Angiin as the = great American _ actress without astonishment -to _any one familiar with her art. Mr. Miller's Ar- mand Duval will be of the usual finished order of Mr. Miller's creations, and this not_too grateful part will be at its best in his hands. The riches of the special company have been lavished on the rest of the cast. Miss Biliston will be Nichette; Miss Hornick, Olympe; Miss Wyndham, Mme. Prudence; Miss Wal- dron, Nanine; Mr. Walcat, Monsieyr Du- val; Mr. Allen, Gaston, and so on. ‘Ca. mille” goes on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Wednesday mati- nee, and “The Wilderness” will be revived during the rest of the week. “Norma” and “Carmen” are vying with each other in favor at the Tivoli Opera- house. The old-time Bellini opera, with the title role sung by Ines-de Frate, has made a strong impression, the prima don- na finding excellent opportunity in the part of the Druid priestess. The critics agree that Mme. de Frate is the best Norma ever heard in this city, for the dif- ficult, florid music is handled by the diva with all the ease of a colaratura soprano, while the dramatic passages are full and strong. Pozzi shares honors with De Frate in the great duet, and Dado is a host in himself as the arch-Druid. “Car- men’ goes for another four performances next week, on Monday, Wednesday, Fri- day and Saturday. The alternating opera wili be “La Boheme,” with a magnificent cast, including Linda Montanari, her first appearance this vear; Agostini, De Spada, De Padova, Dado, Zani and Cortesi. There is the usual demand for seats foi this famous modern work. Sl A Frederick Warde will end his season at the California on Sunday night with a final performance of “Damon and- Pyth- ias.”” The same play will be given the remainder of this week, including a mat- inee on Eaturda.\z. 3 On Monday night the popular Neills re- turn to the OCalifornia for a brief en- gagement, presenting an elaborate revival of their greatest success, ‘‘Barbara Friet- chie.”” This stirring war time drama from the prolific pen of Clyde Fitch had its initial production at the California about a year and a half ago. S8ince that time the Neills have presented the piece nearly 200 times, making a fortune for Mr. Neiil and enduring fame for several members < g2 .

Peasants Threaten to Throw Beehives Among the Gendarmes. BREST, France, Aug. 1%—Soldiers have been requisitioned in several places in Finisterre during the past two or three days to protect police commissaries en=- gaged in closing religious schools from threatening crowds. Thirteen schools be- longing to white sisters remain unclosed in Finisterre. i A battalion of infantry and a strong body of mounted gendarmes are expected at St. Meen, Folgoet and Ploudaniel to- day to overawe the excited populace of those towns. The inhabitants of Fol- goet rare engaged to-day in building a wall of masonry behind the principal door of the church school. 3 At St. Meen scouts on horses, bicycles and even automobiles are reconnoitering in order to give alarm of the coming of the police. The peasants declare they will throw beehives among the gendarmes and will put beehives in the barricades. The expulsion of the sisters at Con- carneau was undertaken to-day. Scouts on automobiles reached the town at 2 o’clock in the morning from Quimper and reported that troops were on the way. The tocsin was rung, bugles were blown and boys ran through the streets ring- ing handbells. Large crowds gathered around the railroad station and around the school. Several bodies of gendarmes and two companies of infantry arrived by a spe. cial train. The commissary ordered the school evacuated, at which the crowd shouted | “Long live the sisters The gendarmes advanced toward the school, 100 but they were repulsed and a generai | scrimmage followed. Later the troops reached the building and the police tried to break down the doorway with axes, but the resistance of the people continued. The commissary finally forced an_ en- trance to the school at Concarneau. When this had been accomplished the Sisters, amid vehement protests of the erowd, left the building. Entrance to the school in the village of Benzenc was also forced. Here the Sisters, when they emerged from the school building, were conducted to the church by the Mayor and a procession of people, headed by the national flag draped in crape.

There has been some trouble recently at the cloak and suit manufactory of Siminoff, 1228 Market street. A disagree- ment arose between Mr. Siminoff and the Cleakmakers’ Union, and has been satis- factorily settled. At'this time and in this connection something may be stated rel- ative to M. Siminoff and the cloak and suit factory which he conducts in this city. . Siminoff started this business some years ago with practically no capi- tal, increasing year by year, attending to the business and its demands, until to-da in his two stores he is doing over four M. hundred thousand dollars a year and is | paying one hundred and sixty-five thou- Eand Aoflars a year in wages. He has in ‘his employ 247 people. These are employed v Sea- son only, but all the year. They are all of them union labor and the wages paid are the highest paid in San Francisco for the same class of work. M.

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.—The incorpora- tors of the International Harvester Com- pany, articles of incorporation for which | were filed yesterday in Jersey City, to- | day made public a statement, which says | in part: “The Internatidnal Harvester Company has been organized under the laws of New Jersey with a capital stock of $120,- 000,000 to manufacture and sell harvest- ing machinery. It "has purchased property and business of the following manufacturers: The McCormick Harvest- ing Machine Company, Deering Harves- ter Company, Plano Manufacturing Com- | pany, Wardner, Bushnell & Glessner Company (Champion) and Milwaukee Harvesting Company. “The company is capitalized upon an exceptionally conservative basis. Of its assets $80,000,000 is in cash working cap- | ital. The company will require no financ- | ing and there will be no offer of its stock to the public, all the cash required hav. | ing been provided by its stockholders.” After alluding to the advance In prices of raw material and the possible conse- | quent advanceé in the price of harvesting | machinery unless economies in existing | conditions of manufacture can be accom- | plished, the statement continues: “The manufacturers realize that their | welfare and the interests.of the farmers | are identical. An advance in the of agricultural machinery would injure the farmers and react upon the manfac- turers. But, on the other hand, if exist« ing conditions continued an advance in prices would be inevitable. It thus be- | came necessary that either the price | should be advanced or that_substantial economies should be effected in the manu- facture and distribution of agricultural machinery. The management of the com- pany will be in charge of gentlemen who | for years have been identifled with the | business. The company will start with | ample manufacturing facilities. It has five fully equipped plants in the United | States and one plant in process of con- | struction in Canada. i ““The officers of the company are follows: President, Cyrus H. mick; chairman of the executive commit- | tee, Charles Deering; chairman of the | finance committee, George W.
