HOLD MASTER'S MEMORY DEAR Songsters of tha Tivoli Will Render Verdi Programme, Orpheum Presents Splendid New Bill—Herrmann at the California. The Orpheum’s bill this week is full of enjoyable stunts and entertaining nov- elties, The famous Athos family of ac-| robatg, direct from London, is the best | troupe of acrobatic entertainers that | ever appeared on any stage in this city, or for that matter anywhere else. Thelr tembling is simply marvelous, They num- | ber six, one of which is a mere youth, | who does springs and somersaults from | the ground and lands feet first on the | head of one of the larger members of the | troupe. Crawford and Stanley, tramp piano yer and singing dude, made their first | appearance in this city, and they cerw‘ v made a hit. Crawford's delineation of the tramp piano player is a marvel of | accuracy. He sings and plays the pianc | in a sleepy, drowsy, careless way that| is fascinating. His partner does a smooth buck dance and every time he comes to | 2 break he throws his head to within a few Ipches of the floor and still keeps bis balance and steps. { George M. Day, the clever black-face | monolcgist, sang several catchy songs | and tore off a bushel of new jokes and | funny tales. { Fratelll Riccodono’s troupe of wonder- | fully trained horses and dogs is still one of the pleasing features of the show. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Thorne, assisted | by Henry Clarke and Mattie Temple, ap- | peared in an old-time but still laughable | farce entitled “An Up Town Flat.” They dress the side-splitting farce up with a lot of new business and clever acting. | Ned Wayburn's Jockey Club, headed by | for another week and the members are as pleasing and bewitching as ever. O'Brien and Buckley, international co- miques, o a neat turn. O. K. Sato, the wonderful juggling comedian, worked per- fectly last night and gained merited ap- plause. The Yankee comedy four are sUll on the enjoyable bill. The biograph | is given a rest this week, and the Athos | family closes the show. { P ! | Herrmann the Great is the attraction | th California this week. Before a nce last night he gave marvel- ous ex ons of magic art and digital dexterity that brought forth repeated ap- plause One trick, in particular, which baffled | detectives was the suspension of Miss | Marie Herrmann, the Princess Mahomeda, in midair by the apparent hypnotic or mesmeric influences exerted by Herrmann. | After the body had been raised in the air | by unseen hands the clever magician | passed a large hoop back and forth, so that the Princess passed through it, show- | ing the audience that no wires or ropes were suspending the subject. Many of the tricks in which the audi- | ence was made the dupe of the enter- tainer caused much merriment. Herr-| manc’s new clock trick proved a puzzle. A pair of bands whirled around on a glass | dial were made by the trickster to stop at any hour that any one in the audience would call out. An Asiatic miracle, called | the “voyage instantaneous” evoked con- | siderable interest. | During the intermission Goohmanns amused unigue selections. | the musical | the audience witn - The Tivoli has a bill of varied Interest this week. To-night will be Verdi night, , the annual celebration of the great maes- tro’s birthday. The programme will be | selected from “La Traviata,” “Otello,” | “Rigoletto,” *Torza del Destino,” *“Il | Trovatore,” B and “I Lom-| bardi.” | On Tuesday evening *Lucia” will be re- vived, with the same cast as on its| former presentment, including De Spada, | D'Albore, Zonghi and Dado. ednesday evening will see the first performance of “Andre Chenier,” the first pew work to be given this sezson and one | of its most important events. *“Andrc | Chenler” is the work of Giordano, a dis- | unguished figure in the modern Italian | operatic school, and said to be of remark- able musical and dramatic interest. The | opera is built round the picturesque per- sonality of Anfre Chenier, a poet and pa- triot of the French revolution. Chenier falls in love with the young Countess de Colgny, who returns his affection. His | suit is opposed by the relatives of the yovng woman because of his political | cpinions. and he has also a rival in the person of Charles Girard, once a servant in the De Soigny family, but later a high | Cigpitary among the revolutionists. Gir- ard denounces him to the revolutionists | tv get him out of the way, but finds, of | course, that he has by no means thereb, furthered his suit with the fair Countes She pleads with Girard to do justice to ber lover, and he, touched by her devo- tion, confesses before the tribunal that he has unjustly accused Chenier. But Chenler is nevertheless condemned and with the Countess is executed.

Lewis of Shaniko, Or., was lo- cated for several years at various points in South America, and fell into the native custom of frequently drinking coffee. He says: “I took to using it the same as those mervous, excitable people in South and Central America. They make very black coffee and it becomes more or less an intoxicating beverage. At the end of about four months I began having severe sick headaches and nervousness, but sup- posed it was from the tropical sun. At lest my wife became alarmed at my head- aches and stomach trouble. She tried to induce me to quit drinking coffee, layirg iy trouble to that, but I continued to use it “She read of Postum Food Coffee and ordered some from the States, but kept it @ secret from me, The very first time sbe made it, when I came in for my cof- fce and roll, I noticed that peculiar, pleasant flavor of Postum and asked her what it was. She sald it was a new brand o coffee and asked me how I liked it. I tried two cups of it with rich ‘leche-de- cheua,’ which is used by every one as milk in Panama, and thought it excellent. After a couple of days my headaches stopped and in a short while my nervous- ness disappeared as if by magic. I have Leen using nothing but Postum for the past year, and have been completely cured, and my wife has also been cured of constipation by changing to Postum, and we shall never go back to coffee | named Thomas caused a small-sized riot | | about the time the vast crowd of pleasure | seekers who had spent the day at the | | hall | Whartman { ana “Brick” Barry, teamsters, joined in RUFFIANG RIOT AT OGEAN BEACH Mob Administers Severe Beajing to Non- Union Man, Shatters Car Windows in an Effort to Drag Him to the Sidewalk. The beating of a non-union machinist at the Clif House yesterday evening | beach were starting for home. A mob of | angry men and boys who had spent ‘the | afternoon drinking and carousing in the i dance hall at {he beach set upon Thomas | outside the dance hall after several of their number had pummeled him severely inside the hall. They chased him to the terminus of the car line, where they attempted to drag him from a car upon which he sought safety. Faliling in their efforts to get Thomas off the car the gang of ruf- fians broke the car windows and attempt- ed to stop it by cutting the trolley wire. The motorman, seeing that his passen- gers and car were in great danger, turned on the current full speed ahead and was sqon out of reach of the rioters. The trouble occurred first in the dance about 4:45 o'clock, when Joseph got into an argument with | Thomas, who worked at the Union Iron Works during the strike. Joseph Devlin the conversation, and one of them, be- coming angered at something Thomas said, struck him in the face. Thomas | ran out of the pavilion, followed by a | crowd of roughs, and started for the car, where the excitement occurred. FPolice- man Greggains arrived on the scene just as the car got under way and he quickly ispersed the mob. @ il O Arna Wilson, De Paoli, Zani, Napoleoni, Cortesi and Jacques are all in the cast. . v s “The Strollers” begins its second week to-night at the Columbia.

BUTTE, Oct. X.—Editor J. W. Kell, of the Inter-Mountain tonight shot Dr. A. H, Cayley, .a prominent resident of Butte. Cayley, it is belleved, will die. Officers are searching for Kelly, and it is believed he will be apprehended before many hours | have passed. The shooting occurred between 11 and 12 o'clock last night, but so quiet was the affair kept that the police did not hear of it until late this evening. Kelly, it is said, suspected an intimacy between a woman of whom he was enamored and Dr. Cay- ley and Saturday night he lay in hiding ‘and surprised the two together. Kelly, with a pass key, entered the apartments of the couple and immediately opened fire. The first shot went wild and Cayley grap- pled with Kelly, but was felled by a blow from the butt of Kelly's revolver. With the man prostraté on the floor, Kelly again fired, the bullet taking effect in Cayley's shoulder. The missile was de- flected by the shoulder blade and ranged downward, pa: g through the left Jung and stopping néar the spinal cord, com- pletely paralyzing the left side of the vietim. At a late hour to-night the doctors ex- pressed no hope for Cayley's recovery. Kelly is still at large, but is believed to be hiding in this city. His escape is be- lieved to be impossible, as all avenues of egress from the city are carefully guarded by the officers and his capture is bellev- ed to be a question of but a few hours. Dr. Cayley is one of the best-known physicians in this city and is married. Kelly is single. e o e e S MERGED GREETS THE PORTUGUESE Sixteenth Annual Ses- sion of the State Union Opened.

SLOW PROGRESS UPON NEW NAVY Rear Admiral Bowles Re- ports to Sscretary Moody. Says Non-Delivery of Struc- tural Steel and Strikes Cause Delay. —_— WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 — *“Progress upon new vessels under construction dur- ing ‘the past year has not been satisfac- tory,” says Rear Admiral Bowles, chief of the Naval Bureau of Construction, in his annual report to the Secretary of (he Navy. All the larger vessels, he says, have been delayed by non-delivery of structural steel. The vessels building at San Francisco were set back by the ten months’ strike, while the hold out of the workmen at Seattle prevented anv actual progress on the structure of the hull of the battleship Nebraska building there. The delay in the deliveries of armor for the battleships Maine, Missouri aud Ohio and the monitors Arkansas, Florida, Ne- vada and Wyoming has retarded the com- pletion of these vessels, concurrently with other causes. The inability of shipbulld- ers to obtain a sufficient force of skilled workers also has been in many cases an important factor in the slow progress. The battleship Ohio is shown to have been twenty-nine months behind her.con- tract on the first of July. The battleship Missouri is more than twenty months be- hind, the majority of the battleships and cruisers are more than ten months behind and some of the torpedo craft are more than forty months behind the date of completion stipulated in tneir contracts. | However, Admiral Bowles says that the extensive delays on the torpedd boats are being terminated by the mewly modified conditions for their delivery. The con- tractors’ delay in beginning the construc- tion of the vessels of the Virginia, Penn- sylvania and St. Louis class, the chief constructor points out, gave his bureau an opportunity to make a careful revision of the general plans of those war vessels, which, ke says, will result in a considera- ble improvement in their military value and in their habitability. The pldns for the turrets for the Virginia class were de- veloped in more detail. An entire rear- rangement of the scheme for the stowage of ammunition was made and particular attention was given to an efficient scheme for coaling. MORE OFFICERS NEEDED. The ships added to the navy during the past year are the battleship Illinois and the torpedo craft Decatur, Perry, Preble, Biddle, Thornton and Wilkes. - Substantial and encouraging progress is reported in the standardization of ship fittings, a scheme tq secure uniformity In | the innumerable types of ships’ parts, which has long been fostered by the Con- struction Bureau. Admiral Bowles says there continues to be an urgent necessity for an increase in the number of officers of the construction corps. The principal navy yards, it Is stated, have an insufficient number of of- ficers for the performance of regular du- ties. He renews his recommendation for an increase of his corps from forty to sixty members. The reports say the advantages of spe- cial instruction in naval architecture and marine engineering in the United States *became more evident last year. The Bu- reau of Construction is now enabled, by co-operation with the faculty of the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology, to regulate the technical education appropri- ately and to offer the students and their instructors constant opportunities for ob- servation of the building and repair of all | classes of vessels, both at private ship yards and at the navy yards of the Gov- ernment. Admiral Bowles points out that the pol- icy of Congress for some years past has been against the construction of new ves- sels in the navy yards, and as a result the development and improvement of the yards in matters such as quay waiis, slips, location of buildings, etc., have not been generally directed toward efficient arrangement for shipbuilding. The admi- ral is of the opinion that it should be the policy of the Navy Department so to ar- range the navy yard plants that they will be efficient for shipbuilding, which is.in reality, he says, one of the most impor- tant functins they may be required to perform. EXPERIMENTAL MODEL BASIN. An interesting portion of the report is that in regard to the work of the experi- mental model basin in which minfature warships are tried. It is stated that the basin has proven of great value to the Construction Bureau. A number of experiments have been made in the basin during the past year to determine the most desirable forms of the new battleships and armored cruisers. It is wholly to the basin facilities that the bureau has been enabled to arrive at the very satisfactory results that the new armored crulsers of the Tennessee class, displacing 14,500 tons, may be expected to make a speed of iwenty-two knots, with actually somewhat less power than the preceding lot of armored cruisers of the Pennsylvania class of the same speed, which displace 13,680 tons. Similarly, the two new 16,000 ton battieships of the Con- necticut class will drive appreciably easier at eighteen knots than the preceding bat- tleships of 14,948 tons. Thus an increase of 7 per cent in size in the case of the bat- tleships and /more than 6 per cent in size of the armored cruisers has been accom- panied with an actual reduction of horse- power necessary to drive them at a given speed In each case. The shipbuilders of the countrv have continued to avail themselves of the facll- ities of the model basin in connection with their commercial work. During the fiscal year experiments were made for private shipbuilders, at their expense, with five models and experiments are under way now, or authorized, with four models at four private concerns. z TORNADO STRIKES' QUINCY DOING MUCH DAMAGE QUINCY, TIL, Oct. 12.—A tornado struck this city this evening and passed in a northeasterly direction, destroyed a num- berof houses and barnsand did great dam- age to crops.

VIENNA; Oct. 12.—Serious election riots occurred this afternoon at Saint Peleton, thirty miles from here, after a meeting of the Christian Socialist candidates for elec- _tion to the provincial Diet. Several train- loads of anti-Semites, under the leadership of Herr Lueger, Burgomaster of Vienna, left here to attend the meeting. Herr | Hermo, Burgomaster of Saimt Peleton, who is a Nationalist, refused to allow the anti-Semites from Vienna to march through the center of Saint Peleton and compelled them to take a circuitous route.

FRUIT PACKERS SEEK VAINLY FOR MORE HELP One Thousand Women and Girls Are Needed in San Jose Factories. SAN JOSE, Oct. 12.—There is a great scarcity of help at the various fruit-pack- ing establishments. For the last two weeks the local papers have con- tained advertisements for girls and wo- men to face prunes, but they have been unable to secure enough help to fill the orders. In a morning paper to-day eleven firms were advertising for help. Sig of the firms specify the number of help wanted, ranging from twenty-five to 200 each, and aggregating 575. The other five firms do not specify the number required, but it is safe to presume that the help they re- quire would bring the total number of girls and women for whom there are posi- tions now open in the fruit factories of this city to over 1000. Specfal inducements are offered in the way of long, steady work, free transportation and higher wages than ever before paid for the work.

PARIS, Oct. 12.—Le Soir announces that the Jockey Club has withdrawn the licenses of the American jockeys Milton Henry and Johnny Reiff, thus excluding them from riding on any French race- course. This action is an outcome, says the pa- per, of a careful investigation made by the detective department, which secured proof that Henry and Reiff upon several cccasions have prevented favorites from winning. The owners of the horses in question are not parties to the transac- tions. The detective depaftment is power- less to interfere with jockeys for such of- fenses and therefore put the matter in the hands of the Jockey Club. Le Soir adds: “The decision of the Jockey Club will be welcomed by every one. It is believed that it will put an end to the suspicion involving all American jockeys in France, among whom there are several homest men. To-day's action by the club will serve ‘as ‘a lesson to those jockeys who still frequent night saloons surrounded by shady racing characters. ““The only regret which might be asso- clated with this measure of the Jockey Club,” says Le Soir, “is that we are to be deprived of two incomparable artists who often gave spectacles of exciting strug- gles in which shrewdness and skill had replaced the brutal methods of former times."” Milton Henry and J. Reiff have been the most suceessful jockeys on French race- courses this season. Henry headed the list of winners. Not a day passed without his securing several wins and piaces. Reiff to-day got two firsts out of four mounts at the Bois de Boulogne, while Henry got a first and two seconds out of five mounts. Reiff got a first and second out of four mounts at Maison Lafitte Fri- day, while Henry got two firsts and one second out of six mounts at the same meeting. —_— SPECTATOR CREATES DISTURBANCE AT TIVOLI Italian Shouts “Dog” and “Bum” at Tina de Spada and Is Ejected From Theater.
