They laughed again —at themselves for laughing—at the riot- suirdity of the rest of it. With its sh plot, incongruous incident, absurd Mr. Kendall has the leading role of the vinegar buyer—and why, on earth, a vine- gar buyer? He does as well with it as tould he expected under the circum- stances. There is a bright spot furnished by June Mathis as Janie, a pig-tailed, pug-nosed country girl. Miss Mathis de- serves a better fate. An attentive claque looked after Miss Lucille La Verne, and The rest filled in. The house was good BLANCHE PARTINGTON. Alcazar. The delightful comedy “The Butter- flies,” by Henry Guy Carleton—first pre- sented here by John Drew and his com- pany—was the attraction at the Alcazar Theater last night. The plece was beau- staged wnd its production by the clever stock company left almost noth- ing to be desired. It has more than one good moral lesson in showing that there is something to live for in this world besides monev, and that pride can be humbled by unheralded generosity. White Whittlesey, as Frederick Ossian, was a uled lover and the part suited Bertha Creighton as was lovable and charming be- she was natural. George Os- bourne was Hiram Green, who made his millfons without any schooling, and his work was artistic and effective. Harry S. Hilliard in the ungracious part of | Barrington, his son, was clever and con- | vinelng. Charles Wyngate caricatured the part of Andrew Strong, the wealthy young Englishman, to such an extent as to make it ludicrous. Oza Waldrop was | bewitching as Suzanne Elise and Miss Marie Howe Mrs. Beverly Stuart- Dodge and M leanor Gordon as Mrs. Ossian were excellent. Frank Bacon had an uncongenlal part as Roscoe Bilser. California. | Janice Meredith was greeted on the second night of its production by a full auditorium of appreciative people who enjoyed the humor of the play and ap- plauded the heroic passages with equal gusto. Lillian Kemble shows at her best as Janice, the playful moods alternating with the serlous phases affording her the required opportunity of displaying her mettle. In both the grave and the gay she was at home. She is well supported by Elste Esmond, one of the best sou- brettes ever seen at the California. The two compose a team of grace, wit and beauty that it would be difficult to match, The hero, George Soule Spencer, grows more into favor with the audience for his manly style of acting and won much merited applause last night. A clever bit of dialect is furnished by Joseph Dailey, who in fact redeemed the play from what would otherwise have been a dangerous approach to flatness. That old time favorite Irish character, James M. Ward, appears to advantage as the father of the incomparable comedian, Frank MacVicars. Tivoli. “The Highwayman,” De Koven's comic opera, with Camille d’Arville in the lead- ing soprano part, commenced. the third week of its run at the Tivoli last even- ing. In common With every audience which has greeted Miss d’Arville since her return to the stage, last night's house was lavish with its applause. Sev- eral of her numbers were repeatedly en- cored, and her excellent support came in for a big share of the honors. Ed- win Stevens, as Foxy Quiller, is particu- and Arthur Cunningham Jeaves nothing to be desired as Dick Fitzgerald, the romantic young Irish knight of the road. Two of his solos met with a splendid reception. Annie Myers and Edward Webb do some clever com- edy work, and Bertha Davis has a small part, which she fills acceptably. “The Highwayman” 1is put on in an artistic style, the music is tuneful, the book clever and the people are well trained.

Central. The Central Theater scored another suc- cess iast night in Edwin Arden’s powerful Russian drama ‘Zorah.” Standing room was at a premium, and the play, founded on a story of the persecutions of the chil- dren of the Hebrew race in the land of | the Czar, created : amount of en- thusiasm.

The Governor child is stricken by the dread malady. The rabbi is sent for as a last resort. He sees his chance to be avenged on the en- emy who has broken his life, but Zorah pleads the child’s cause and he buries his hatred and brings the littlebne back from the door of death. Miss Eugenia Thais Lawton gave an impersonation of Zorah | that convineingly effective. The cast is a very long one. To Henry Shumer as the Governor ofiMoscow, howeyer, more than passing mention iz due. Edwin T. Emery has a capital part in Mr. Slaugh- ter, and Miss Myrtle Vane is delightful as Miss Smith of Chicago. These two furnish the comedy of the plece. “Zorah' is a great attraction and will run to| crowded houses all the week. Chutes. Little Blossom, announced as the “viva- clous comedienne,” coon-shouted herself into fmmediate favor at the Chutes last night, her immense voice filling the capa- cious theater to the farthest corner. Les- ter and Curtin, the “man-o’-warsmen,” gave a capital comedy acrobatic act, Hank Whitcomb offered some very clever imitations of animals and birds and Hath- away and Walton did some of the jbest sand and eccentric dancing seen in the city in many a day. The three. Kuhns, novelty musicians; the great Zano, mys- tifier, and the animatoscope, showing e new and amusing moving pictures, completed a thoroughly satisfactory pro- gramme. - The amateurs will appear on Thursday night. Fischer’s. The last week of the combination bur- lesques, “Under the Red Globe and “The Three Muskeeters,” began last night at Fischer's Theater. There was the usual big crowd, and the merry frivolities went with possibly even more zest than ever. Preparations are in full swing now for the presentation next week of the burlesques “The Big Little Princess” and “Quo Vass Tss.” Orpheum. The great Kaufmann troupe is beyond the shadow of a doubt the greatest ag- gregation of trick bicyclists that the world has ever produced. Their work is simply beyond description. They are doing hair-raising stunts at the Orpheum this week with an ease and a grace that bring gasps of wonder and cries of ap- proval., The rest of the show is excellent.

No such claims are made for it. Peruna cures catarrh and that is all it does cure. But many allments called by countless different names are dependent upon catarrh, that is catarrhal inflam- mation of the mucous membrane lining some organ of the body. Hence Peruna cures catarrh of the pelvic organs (fe- male weakness), with the same surety as it cures catarrh of the nose or throat, or the many other catarrhal ailments of children.

A rumor is current among those clergy- men and others Interested in the proceed- ings of Rev. Dr. Bollard of Vallejo against Bishop Moreland of Sacramento that the recalcitrant clergyman has been again nonsuited In his attempt to appeal from the judgment of the court that ac- quitted the Bishop on all counts at the trial in May last. The rullng of the Pre- siding Bishop is that the hearing of the charges was fairly conducted and its de- cision not subject to review. A member of the court said: “That is the only possible decision under the ecir- cumstances; In fact, there is no one who could either grant a new trial or reverse the verdict of the first one. As far as the church is concerned, the case is con- cluded. “Should, however, Dr. Bollard take his grievances to the secular courts he would probably find as little sympathy there as he has so far in the judicial bodles ap- pointed by church authority. In every in- stance where aggrieved clergymen have appealed to the courts from canonical de- cisions of the church it has been decided against them. Decisions affecting precisely identical circumstances as the Bollard case have always been to the effect that clergy of a church are subject to its laws presuming that the canons governing the discipline of that church have been right- ly observed.” What Dr. Bollard's next move will be is not known. @it R O room, proposed new sewer system, plans for new county jail and addition to the Hall of Justice, estimates on land for public parks in the Mission, Twin Peaks, Telegraph Hill and other sections of the city; plans for new city and county hos- pital and estimates for new schoolhouses. all previously published, make up the body of the report. estimates for public library and reading- possibility of turning over all the offices to the native: :.
