LFRED BOUVIER, the well known clubman and former the- atrical | manager, passed away shortly before=noon yesterday at his residence on Laurel street. The news of his death was received with deep regret universally in this city and the profoundest sympathy was expressed to his sorrowing wife, who attended at his bedside during his prolonged illness. Alfred Bouvier was taken sick last July, as a result of overwork. For months he gradually grew worse, but the sick man pever gave up hope, believing he would surely recover and once more resume the busy life of the past. 4 WRECKING and SALVAGE COMPANY On WEDNESDAY, December 17, will place on sale one hundred and fifty thousand (150,000) shares of stock (and mo more), par vaiue one dollar ($1.00).

The committee appointed to distribute the §2500 contributed by the San Francisco Retail Liquor- Dealers’ Charitable Asso- ciation met yesterday afternoon and, as- sisted by Miss Katharine C. Felton, gen- eral secretary of the Associated Charitles, divided the money among homes and or- ganizations where it will bring the best results. Reports and requests for donations were read and acted upon. The money was apportioned according to the necessitles of the institutions to which it was do- nated and to the number of children that would derive happiness therefrom, Insti- tutions that are self-sustaining or have a stated income did not receive as great a donatlon as those dependent entirely on charity. Several of the institutions have already held their Christmas festivi- ties, and for this reason smaller amounts were allotted them. A motion adding E. L. Wagner to the committee was adopted. CHARITIES BENEFITED. The checks will be ready and will be awarded to the different institutions on which they have been drawn at The Call business office on Saturday morning. The donation to the Newsboys’ Union was not made in the nature of charity, but out of the friendship the dealers entertain for the little fellows. The liquor dealers realize that they were late this season in collecting the money. | It was their initial effort. Next year a 3 monster benefit will be given and it is WELL KNOWN CLUBMAN AND expected that about $6000 wili be raised THEATRICAL MANAGER WHO for the worthy cause. DIED IN THIS CITY YESTERDAY.

TOO WEAK FOR OPERATION. He was taken to St. Winifred's Hos- pital and the advisability of amputating bus right leg was discussed, but owing to the patient's weak condition it was fear- ed he might dle on- the operating table. He was then relpn\\'d to his home and yesterday death ended his sufferings. Alfred Bouvier was one of the best known theatrical men on the Pacific Coast. He was born in St. Louls and was 46 years of age. = His parents were of French descent and his ancestors, early in the last century, emigrated to Jamalca, where his parents were born. After graduating from the public schools of St. Louis young Bouvier de- cided to embark in the mercantile busi- uness and secured employment with a large hardware firm. The work was dis- tasteful to him, however, and he later scught. employment in St. Louis, Cincin- nati and New York as a newspaper re- porter. He had a natural leaning toward the- atrical affairs and it was not long before he went on the road as advance agent for Daniel Frohman. He made many visits to the Pacific Coast in the early eightles as a manager for Mr. Frohman and became popular with all who met him. On account of his popu- larity here and of his knowledge of what the residents of the West liked in a dra- matic. way Al Hayman selected him as ‘manager of the Baldwin Theater ter ‘when he assumed the lease of the house in 1589, He proved very successful in his new work. He was polite-to all and from the first was popular with the patrons of the ~ house. When 8. H. Friedlander retired from the man- agement of the California Theater in 185 Bouvier's duties were doubled, as he was instructed by Hayman to take charge of both houses. In 1887 Al Hayman with- drew from all theatrical ventures on the coast and with his withdrawal- Alfred Beuvier stepped out of active theatrical management. He still continued to be Maurice Grau's representative on the coast, however, and arranged every detail of the varlous grand opera seasons. He was also instru- mental in bringing the French Opera Company to San Francisco for a success- ful season at the California Theater. This venture was hazardous, but before the company arrived from New Orleans Bou- vier bad in his pocket guarantees or sub- scriptions amounting to $10,000. MANAGES RACE TRACK. Bouvier was later appointed manager of the Tanforan track. His relgn was of short durdtion and terminated when the track was sold to the New California Jockey Club. During the last few months he induced several capitalists to builld a theater which was to bear his name; lo- cated at Market and Ninth streets. Ow- ing to his ill health he had to relinquish this work, however, and Fred Belasco took up the work where he left off. The house when completed will now bear Be- lasco’s name. 2 Alfred Bouvier was a popular clubman, being a member of the Pacific Union and Bohemian clubs. He was also a member of San Francisc® Lodge No, 3 of the Elks. He was interested in politics to some extent and his name was more than once prominently mentioned for the Re- publican nomination for Mayor. He was at one time a stockholder in the Harbor Light and Power Company and recently acquired. large holdings in the Pacific Transfer Company, of which cor- poration he“was general manager. The funeral will take place to-morrow, but the hout has not been set. The In. terment will probably be in Holy Cross Cemetery. @ il e @ Your Good Taste With our. varied stock of good goods to select from, cannot fail to pleage your friends.
