Before 8 o'clock the theater was com- fortably filled and by the time the cur- tain arose for the first act there was not a seat vacant. Hundreds stood in the back of the house to watch the performance and to gaze upon the au- dience. Many came early and went from floor to floor to examin2 the place.

Fe: attired is in a box man of let- ters, strode on the stage after the cur- tain had fallen on the first act. He was followed by Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz, who was on the management’'s pro- gramme to deliver a speech. The Mayor did not know this until after he had taken his seat in his box, and the sum- mons to appear behind the scenes was as sudden as it was unexpected. “I wish to introduce,” Hartman start- v by modern meth- | night that we have never had a more | {and to give you the best. | ed out to say, but the applause over- | took him and he rhymed his short speech by exclaiming, “Oh, what's the use!"” The Mayor took his cue, and when the greeting he received had subsided spoke as follows: “Don’t be alarmed, ladies and gen- tiemen, I am not going to sing. (Laugh- ter.) I have been asked by the man- agement this ®evening to say a few words for it and on behalf of the city of San Francisco on this occasion, the formal opening and dedication of the rew Tivoli. San Francisco, as probably you all know, is known all over the United States as the greatest musical city on this continent; not because it has a musical Mayor (ilaughter), or, as | some of my opponents in the last cam- | paign called me, ‘a fiddling Mayor, but because the people of San Fr know what is and appreciate the best in musical art. (Applause.) “This great outnouring to-night is not only composed of the best citizens of San Francisco, but is composed of | the music loving people of the city, those who love art for art’s sake. The Tivoli Opera-house in the last thirty vears has done much to educate the people in the art of music. MUSICAL FAME OF CITY. “The musical fame of San Francisco has been maintained on many an occa- sion by the Tivoli management. Once, 1 remember very well, and I am sure you all remember it; I allude to the time we were visited by that great composer, Pietro Mascagni. (Applause’) Coming here as he did from Eastern cities of the United States, that did not accord him the treatment he should ancisco | i capable or conscientious man at the | head of it than we have now in the per- son of Paul Steindorff. (Applause.) “Now this great temple dedicated to song belongs to you. It is true that it will be managed by the Tivoli Com- pany, but it belongs to you and through your patronage and by the giving or withtholding of it you can compel the management to cater to your wishes Let us hope that this outpeuring to-night is onl a sample of what will continue, and i hope that those who love an’ sake will, by their patronage, that has done so much in the past for music. Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you." (Applause.) b - COURT SEPARATES PRINCE AND PRINCESS Frederick and Alice of Shoenburg- Waldenburg Allege Infidelity and Divorce Is Granted. DRESDEN, Dec. 23.—The court has | dissolved the marriage of Prince Fred- erick and Princess Alice of Shoenburg- Waldenburg. The court simply an-| nodnced the decree of divorce without explanation of the reasons. The pro- ceedings were in secret, although no concealment was made of the fact that each side accused the other of in- fidelity. 4 The Princess, who is a daughter of Don Carlos, the Spanish Pretender, was reported some time ago to have eloped with her coachman, but this was denied from several sources, and she began divorce proceedings against Prince Frederick on the ground of bodily injury and forcible deprivation of her liberty. The Prince and Prin- cess were married by the present Pope | while he was Patriarch of Venice, and the Prince and the Princess expect that the Pontiff will agree to the dis- sclution of the marriage. —_————— Starting a Boom for Olney. BOSTON, Dec. 23.—Congressman W. 8. McNary announced to-night that at the meeting of the Democratic State Committee next month he would pre- sent a resolution in favor of the candi- dacy of Richard Olney for President and inviting the co-eperation of the party in other New England States. —ee—————— Death Calls a Manufacturer.
