Food That Cuts Work in Half. The food that will enable a person to eccomplish in one year the work laid out for two years is worth knowing about. Miss Annfe Avery, a student in Lanark, Ont., writes: “I know I felt my {ll health even more than if I had been engaged in any other work, as the confinement of school only increased my sickness and in- lity to study. Last year 1 was on the way to a gen- eral breakdown in health; I suffered from severe headaches, was becoming a con- irmed dyspeptic, nervous system broken down and my condition went on from bad to worse until I was unable to study or even go to school. “My parents were very anxious about me, as medicine did not help, and mother hearing about Grape-Nuts obtained some, nd I commenced to use it at once.

W YORK, Aug. 18.—Justice Rich, in the Supreme Court, to-day on the appli- cation of attorneys for Mrs. Theresa Alice Oelrichs jssued an order directing | the ¢ York Stock Exchange Building | Company to permit either Mrs. Oelrichs |in person or her counsel to examine a | private safe belonging to the late Charles L. Fair. The examination was for the pur- pose of ascertaining whether any will ex- :(;ned by Mr. Fair was in his private safe. Justice Rich’s order further directed that should a will be found it shall be deposit- ed in the office of the Clerk of the Surro- gate's Court. Mrs. Oelrichs was not to have the right to examine any other papers in the box except so far as to &scertain whether there was a will there. Mrs. Oelrichs, accompanied by her law- yer, went to the Stock Exchange vaults this afternoon and efforts were made to open the vault in search of the will. Mr. Wright, who has charge of the vaults, made several efforts to unlock the com- bination, trying several combinations sug- gested by Mrs. Oelrichs, without success. A safe expert was then sent for. After about an hour’s work two experts opened the vault and the contents were handed by Wright to Mrs. Oeirichs. The entire party then left the place through a rear door. When Colonel Jay, the lawyer, was ask- ed concerning the contents of the box, he refused to talk. Wright was also reticent. The experts, after removing the combin- ation, took one from another box and put it oh the ‘sam Effects Are Sealed. PARIS, Aug. 18.—Mr. Ellis, manager of the Hotel Ritz, returned to-night with M.

Prompt Action of Workers] THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TU‘ESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1902 ABT night’s performance of ‘Ca- mille’ at the Columbia Theater was of the electrifying sort. It is the kind of thing to be handed out to bragging generations to .come boasting of a new day’s tupenny stars. It is the kind of event one dates things om, “The year I saw Henry Miller and argaret Anglin in ‘Camille.” ” For, one of its facts is amazingly certain, that by some ardent magic Mr. Miller pulled up the part of Armand Duval to a place honorably beside Miss Anglin’s wonderful Camille. It was indeed Miller at his superlative, art freed from every hint of mechanism, The shoot- | ed troops will surely be sent | -~ PRESGING GLAIM administrator of | gnized for years as the | manager of the Fair estate, will probably | |and only a sense of the proprieties re- | strained the audience from jumping on s seats in the frenzy of enthusiasm that | | | | [ = | followed the gaming scene. It did not { prevent them from curtain calling until the actor was won from his usual re- serve to a short and breathless speech. He was glad, said Mr. Miller, to have op- portunity to let the audience see Miss Anglin in this role, for which—they would | agree—she was eminently fitted. - He thanked them for the warmth of the re- | ception and, as expression of the hercu- | lean effort they must have gone to make the perfection” of the performance, said simply: “We have done our best with the time at our disposal.”” And such a best as it is! An ensemble, speckless, flawless; a rapidity and smooth- ness of perfermance that must have satis- fied even Mr. Miller's i tiable passion for perfection. One knows a.l about *‘Ca- mille,” its tuberose atmosphere and astig- matic morale, but it lifted more nearly into credibility last night, and moere com- pletely into sympathy than is in most | peaple’s experjence of the play so far. | There has been an actual freshening of | the lines by Miss Anglin's sympathetic | hana, and an ironing-out of traditional | creases, but far and above these things s the brilllant sympathy of its interpreta- tion. The expected has happened as regards Margaret Anglin. The Camille conception places her at once with the great emo- tional actresses of the day. The whole house was one sob as she pleaded with Armand’s father for her right to love his son. Men wept in the open and women sopped their Kerchiefs as the almost too poignant pathos of the scene made tself felt. Nothing further than the usual patho- {logical subject with the usual athletic cough could well be concetved. The deli- cate bloom and restraint of Miss Anglin’s Camille is not one whit less remarkable than its emotional spell. There is not a point made but by purest art. Pity for la dame aux camellias “is wrung from, not hammered out of one, and even the death scene, lightened by the plieous graciousness that still clings {o the girl, is almost classic in its appeal. There is not a cough too much, but yet, unerringly, the suggestion of coming death is shudderingly given. There is a | change, conspicuously for the better, in | the action of the death scene. Camlille is in bed during the whole scene, and in- stead of making the unnecessarily rac ing attempt to_ cross the room to her Geath, dies on her pillow. It is safe to say that a gaming scene like that of last night has rarelv been paralleled anywhere. The ensemble was no less marvelous than the art of the chief actors therein. It was most hand- somely mounted to begin with and Henry Miller did by far and away the strongest work in which he has been seen here, not even excepting his Sydney Carton., One held one’s breath with a sensation very like fear as the maddened lover, hurling insults at his former love, defied his suc- cessor. And in the money-throwing scene, with the girl cowering under the lash of his scorn, and the reveiers at- tempting to avert the inevitable catastro- MISS ANGLIN'S CAMILLE PLACES HER AMONG FIRST EMOTIONAL ACTRESSES Bermnsie Puses IFTED SINGER A% TIVOLL phe, the tension became almost beyond supporting. Mr. Miller is always an admirable lover and that part of the role was handled with all of his usual ardent grace. Ev- erything conduced to make the character among the biggest things that have been | done here, and it was so measured and greeted by the audience, The smaller parts were handled with like distinction. BEthel Hornick was a handsome Olympe; Grace _ Eliiston, Nichette to admiration. Miss Waldron’s Nanine fell charmingly into the picture, and Miss Wyndham was a happy Pru- dence. Then Mr. Walcott lent his splen- did art-to the role of the doctor, and D'Orsay turned round three times for luck in his own inimitable way in the gaming scene. Arthur Elliott was stiff as Duval's father, even more ponderous, and Philistine than is demanded by the role. Fred Thorne contributes a delicious Dbit as St. Gaudens, and Charles Grotthold and Walter Allen are excellent as Gaston and Gustave. The plece goes to-night and to-morrow night and matinee. Fischer’s, “Pousse Cafe and the other eccentric- ities that have ambled along with it for nearly two months last past again brought out the customary gale of merri- ment when the eighth week was opened last evening at Fischer's. Bernard, Dill and Kolb and the rest had things their own way. Phe crowd laughed at their anties until its sides ached. Maude Am- ber and Charlotte Vidot held the fancy of the people as well as at the first of the performances of the present triple bill. Winfield Blake did his share of the funmaking and held down his assignment all right. The dancing, singing and gen- era) fol-de-rol make up a rattling show, which will hold a crowd through the week. Next week “Hurly Burly” and “Zaza” will be put on. Then there will be many new reasons for laughter. k HO B A dose of the Bitters before meals will sharpen the appeti‘e, tone up the stomach and aid diges- ITTERS tion, When taken regu'arly wil! lency, Indiges stipation and Malaria. convince you.

T — Weekly Call, $1 per Year POPULAR COMEDIAN NOW PLEASING AUDIENCES AT FISCHER'S HEATER, TALENTED ACTRESS PLAYING AT CALIFORNIA AND ! fection, ) HE Central was packed to suffo- cation last night when Robert Fitzsimmons made his San Fran- cisco debut as an actor in a drama entitled “The Honest Blacksmith.” In the play Fitzsimmons represented several stirring incidents in his own career. On his first entrance he received an ovation, the like of which he never heard in the arena. Neither Sullivan nor Cor- bett, in the height of their greatness, evcited such enthusiasm. At the end of cach act “Bob” was called before the curtain_and cheered to the echo. Mrs. Fitzsimmons shared with him the honors and the curtain calls, and was the reciplent of many beautiful floral pleces. Bobby Junior displayed a great deal of precocity and was liberally applauded. Fitz ig neither a Booth nor a Barrett, but he is to be credited with playing his role in a simple ‘and natural manner and is by a long way the best of the pugllistic actors that have appeared here. He shod a horse, sang a comic song, sparred three rounds and-by way of il lustrating the merits of virtue threw the vibain at every opportunity to the ex- tremity _of the’ stage. Mrs, Fitzsimmons looked very hand- some and wore some stunning costume: Her performance was quite equal to that of her husband and there apparently is a bright future in store for Bobby Jr. in roles of the Peck's Bad Boy order. The Central stock company furnished excellent support, and in the sparring hout Eddie Graney, who, it is whispered, has lofty stage aspirations, acted &s ref- eree. As Fitz's sparring partner George Dawson proved himself, as usual, the right man in the right place. A vaude- ville entertainment in the third act was received with manifestations of delight. It was here that Fitz made his_greatest hit in the song, ‘“When He's Full,” in which he simulated intoxication to per- Reyna Belasco, the marvelous child dancer, was heartily encoredy and Georgie Cooper Was @ great success in the song, “The Rose of Killarney.” A feature of the last act was the mov- ing pictures depicting the principal rounds in the Fitzsimmons-Ruhlin fight. On an evening during the week to be announced there will be a horseshoeing contest be- tween Fitz and Eddie Graney for a valu- able prize. The horseshoes made at each performance Ly Mr. Fitzsimmons will be distributed among the audience at the Saturday matinee by lottery. Miss Reyna Belasco, daughter of David Belasco, the famous playwright, will draw the ballots, and Miss Juliet Crosby will announce the ‘winners. Alcazar. That delicious, sparkling comedy, “The Country Girl,” in which Miss Florence Roberts has in former seasons achieved such a marked success, was presented at the Alcazar Theater last night by this talented lady, supported by TLeodore Roberts, White Whittlesey, George Os- bourne, Carlyle Moore, Frank Bacon, Edith Angus and Bertha Blanchard. There is a charm in this insight into the manners and customs of English squire- dom centuries ago that is irresistible, and the manner in which Miss Robertis plays the part of Peggy Thrift, the country girl, is exceedingly bright and full of rare archness and attractiveness. Her concep- tion of the part is winsome and dainty. Theodore Roberts as Squire Moody, her gruff old guardian, revels in the part and glves it a forcefulness and artistic char- acterization that stamps it as one of his best efforts, White Whittlesey was as capable as before as Dick Belville, Peg- gy's lover, and Carlyle Moore was sur- prisingly good as Ned Harcourt. George Osbourne did not seem to be in his ele- ment as Sparkish, the vain coxcomb. The house was crowded and thelg - cipals were honored with curtain calls. Orpheum. Seldom if ever has the Orpheum man- agement given a better show than that presented this week. Powell, the pres- tidigitateur; Carroll Johnson, an interest- ing and ?Imln‘ relic_of the old-time days of minstrelsy, and Smith and Fuller, musicians of great skill, are fine ente: tainers.

Wood |Lay Waste Vast Area in & Co. Disappear on Same Day. Firm's Loss From Theft Is Said to Reach Fully $10,000. i e Right upon the disappearance of Hugo von Guffenberg, an employe of S. N. Wood & Co., the tailors, after his sum- mary dismissal on Saturday night, and the discovery on Sunday morning of a small boat in which was a letter of con- fession of wrongdoing purporting to have been written by him, comes a deeper mys- tery in the sudden disappearance at about the same time of Thomas John Krustitz, also an employe of the firm. Krustitz 18 an Austrian by birth and lived with his wife at 603 Montgomery avenue. He had been employed by the tailoring firm for the last five weeks at a good salary. On Sunday morning he told his wife that it was his intention to g0 to the Palace baths on Montgomery ave- nue and Filbert street. After waiting the whole day for his return, Mrs. Krustitz became alarmed and expressed her fears to her immediate friends that something might have happened to him, especially as he was not in the habit of remaining away from his home and was strictly ab- stemious and frugal. The dismissal of Guffenberg, the discovery that the firm had been robbed of a very large amount of goods, probably $10,000 worth, and the finding of the boat, together with the let- ter and the peculiar and unsolved cir- cumstances of Krustitz being absent has caused the police to suspect that there will be a great deal yet o be unearthed regarding the mystery. The police are now on the search for both of the men, though it may be that Guffenberg, knowing that a great amount of stolen goods had been found in his room at 1814 McAllister street and fearing the consequence, did really end his life. It is conjectured by some that possibly Krustitz was in the boat with him, and has met his death by drowning. The boat belongs to the Jewett, which is tled up at the foot of Spear street, but how Guffenberg became possessed of it is still another mystery in the affair. @ i O of M. Jean Marcel's troupe of finely formed men and women bring forth bursts of hearty applause. The biograph pictures furnish a pleasing finish to an exceptionally good programme. Tivoli. Few ovatlons accorded to singers on the local stage have surpassed that which greeted Miss Marie Welsh last night at the Tivoli Opera-house, the scene of her debut as Michaela in “Carmen.” As many times as “Carmen” has been sung on the Tivoli boards it has always drawn crowded house, and last night was no_exception. Miss Welsh, in essaying the difficult role of Michaela, created nothing short of a furor. It was the young Californians first appearance on any stage. During the first act she was naturally a trifle nervous, but in the third act, in her big solo, she rose to the occasion in such sufficient fashion that the large audience burst into overwhelming cheers and loud shouts of “bravo!” Miss Welsh received many beau- tiful flowers, the men from behind the scenes being called into requisition as common carriers to assist in the presenta- tion of these tokens of admiration. Miss Marie Welsh is the daughter of | M. J. Welsh, the_well-known architect, | and a niece of T. J. Welsh, the architect of the School Department of San Fran- cisco. Her voice is a _pure lyric soprano of beautiful quality. She has never been out of San Francisco, and has received all of her training at the hands of Ida Va- lerga,. the well-known teacher, who dis- covered and trained Alice Neilsen and other singers who have since become fa- mous. Miss Welsh is also a graduate of the University of California, and has been a rominent member of local church choirs. ghe ‘was most kindly assisted by the mem- bers of the Tivoll Grand Opera-house Company for her eventful appearance last night, and her work Is regarded most highly by them. ‘'oliamarini sang in the title role of “Carmen.”’ She was received with énthu- siasm, which was deserved by her per- formance. D’Albore, as in the first week of “Carmen,” made a dashing Toreador. Russo made the role of Don Jose a strong accompaniment to Carmen. In the minor parts the opera was cast the same as last week, with De Paoli, Cortesi, Zani, Anna ‘Wilson, Hopkins and Jacques singing. The whole opera, under the skiliful guidance and direction. of Steindorff, went off smoothly and with spirit. “Carmen” will be produced on Wednes- day, Friday and Baturday nights. Gmmuun. T.

Many Buildings Are Razed and Residents Have Narrow Escapes. YMIR, B. C., Aug. 18.—One of the mast disastrous fires that have ever occurved in West Kootenay 1s raging about Ymir. Many square miles of green timber have been reduced to trackless wastes of burned stumps and ashes, while many buildings connected with the mines have been so utterly destroyed as to render it difficult to locate their former sites. Sev- eral wagon roads and bridges have been burned, and for miles every trace of hu= man handiwork has been obliterated. | The principal region that has been dev~ astated is Wildhorse Station, where the | more important mines of the Ymir sec- tion are situated. For a distance of five miles along the wagon road from the ey- anide works of the Ymir Company to the Foghorn mine every building has been de- stroyed and the cribbing and bridges on the main road and its branches burned. The only building in the path of the fire that was saved is that covering the cya= nide plant. That this was not d.slrv!fi was due to the fact that a number employes were compietely cut off from outside assistance by the flames, and, had they not succeeded in keeping the building intact, undoubtedly would have perished. Fortunately the. water supply and the fire attachments were in or- der and the men dug holes in which they immersed themselves in water up to their necks, while they handled the hose In short shifts. Relief parties sent to their assistance from the stamp mill were ta- ’nble to reach them and for a long time their fate was uncertain. The next and perhaps largest sufferers | were Jullan and Audit, principal owners | in the Black Rock mine, which has been the permanent home of their respective familles for several years. The Black Rock camp consisted of several - I buildings in a group and the effect of the fire has been such that the site of thase buildings is now difficult to find. Fortu- nately the menace of the first fire had warned the families and they were able to bury all their portable goods in time. Retreat to the town was cut off, how- ever, and the two families had to take refuge in the tunnels of the mine, over the entrances to which wet blankets weays kept. At the Wilcox mine near by the elr- cumstances were much the same, all the buildings were destroyed, the goods were buried and the men took ref- uge in the tunnels. Here some of them had a narrow escape. The wind blew the flames into the tunnel in which th had taken refuge, which is conneet with the surface by an uprise. This up- rise created a draft for the flames and the first sets of timber began to burn. The men behind the flames had eleven buckets of water with them and a little water was Issulnf from the face. With this meager supply, handled in tin cups, the men managed to keep the fire from progressing along the timber sets, religve ing each other every few minutes. Singing Way Around the World.
