'‘Hislop’s side of the controversy was finished with the testimony of Elizabeth V. Becker. Mrs. Becker is proprietor of the Raleigh Hotel at 319 Sutter street, wherein, on September 17, 1902, George W. Hislop is said to have given his wife cause for a legal The witness testified, in that on the date.men- the morning, i tioned Hislop appeared at the house with a woman and engaged a suite for one week. He registered as Mr. Gris- wold and introduced the woman as his wife, according to the testimony. Mrs. Becker said that some months later Hislop again came to the house and she, Mrs. Becker, asked him “how his wife v and he threw up his hand and sald, “Oh, she was not my wife; my name is Hislop.” At the afternoon ses- sion Mrs. Becker produced the heuse register showing the entry of Griswold and wife. \ On the side of the defense were Wit nesses Morris J. O'Callaghan, a police-. man, and L. A. Saves, a commercial traveler, who told of futile efforts they had made, as friends of,the family, to effect a reconciliation between the couple. MRS. HISLOP SAID NO. Mrs. Hislop is said to have opposed the arrangement and to have said that she could *‘get along without him.” Peter P. Lemperle, stepfather of Jaiser, the det ve who shadowed called to declarc against the young man’s reputation for truth and honor. The affidavit of Violette Griswola, named as co-respondent in Mrs. His- lop’s complaint, was read in court. The young woman is now at Victoria, B, C. says that she is years old and been divorced from a man named W. D. Hastee at Seattle. She says that in three years she has met His lop in the North about ten times, but there has been nothing improper tween them.

In her compiaint Mrs. Payne alleged that prior to the birth of the babe the husband left her at home alone, and that after the little one came into the world he continued to spend his time with other persons and made her dependent upon her rela- tives for support. An order dated June 24 from Superior | Judge Iiebbard, who is on a vacation, was filed yesterday, granting TS, FEdith Madden actual custody ef her child on Monday and Friday of each week between the hours of 10 a. m. and 6 p. m.

Mr. Whit- tlesey began his usual summer season on O'Farrell street last evening In Soldiers Fortune,” the Richard Harding Davis play introduced here by Robert Edeson, and an audience the size of the theater made a festival of the occasion. To leave Mr. Whittlesey for a mo- ment, it may be truly =aid that the Al- cazar produced the play admirably. There are some in the cast—Mr. Whit- tlesey not of them, unfortunately—that | equal the original players, and the pic- tures are excellent. It is a matter of personality, the | disagreement of Mr, .Whittlesey and | his part, that of thLe square-jawed, practical, resourceful American, Rob- ert Clay. One does not believe him, for example, when he pictures himself fighting with ‘“‘greasers” for his last dollar on the floor of a Mexican mud hut. Nor does he persuade to belief as the mining engineer, who bullies, blarneys, bulldozes 2000 lazy Mexican workmen into a contented obedience. As a lover, yes, Mr. Whittlesey makes | | eloquent love to the Hope Langham— | nice girl! Yet even his wooing loses Ilpolnt from his failure to catch the vital { herein that the portrait of Robert Clay is distinctive. In good sooth the Whit- tlesey Clay—'He might have been a Roosian, a Turk, or French, or Proo- sian, or an I-tal-i-an!"—in spite of all Mr. Davis' temptations to him to be- come an American. Yet the perform- ancegloes not lack power. Mr. Whit- { tlesey’'s grip on the breathless climax | of the third act, where Clay’s friend is | shot dead at his side, is a compelling one. The scene is vigorously sincere ;and persuasive. Yet the portrait as a whole is not the actor’s best work. i Much better than the original Hope | Langham was Miss Virginia Brissac, |and Miss Brissac has done things of the kind before. Given'a little more vivacity and her girlish, | can girl would be of unusual Again original is Fred Butler's MacWilliams, whase primitive virtues were excellent- ! 1y exploited by the actor. The best two bits of work in the piece are, however, | John B., Maher's Captain Burke and | George Barnum’s President Alvarez, beth admirably -fitted in. Miss Bel- | garde’s Mme. Alvarez is another figure more convincing that the original play- er's. The rest fill in avithout much conviction, Miss Ellsmere’s Alicé Lang- ham, Mr. Cohners’ Captain Stewart and Mr. Johns' Reginald King being all notably out of pitch. But the aver- age of the performance is high and the piece will' be enjoyed by all who like a bit of wholesome, boisterous, sunny Americanism. BLANCHE PARTINGTON. value. Grand Opera-House. Owing to the illness of Mrs. Leslie Carter the Grand Opera-house was closed last night. Her physicians says that Mrs. Carter must have a couple of days’ rest, and she will be able to appear to-morrow night in “Du Bar- ry.”” Those having seats for to-night are notified that they can be ex- changed for any of the remaining nights of the week. Seats for to-mor- row (Wednesday) matinee will hold good for Thursday afternoon, to which date the matinee is postponed. # i Central. . At the Central Theater last night “The Power of the Cross,”. a new mel- odrama, which has won success in the BEast, was. produced for the first time in ‘this city and was given a rousing welcome by a crowded house. There was no dearth of applause in any part of the play, but the climax, which completely captured the audience, drew thunderous curtain calls and brought each member of the company in turn to receive individual recogni- tion, came in the third act. Here the villain is deterred from a centemplat- ed crime by the vision of a cross on fire, which -fills. him with awe and palsies the hand raised to strike.

BOARD ADOPTS [LIMITS HEIGHT |REPUBLICANS - CITY TAX RATE Levy Is Reduced From Orig- inal Figure Owing to Big Increase in . Assessment GETS LIGHT CONTRACT San Francisco Company Has Agreed to Give Additional Illumination for $320,000 B B The Board of Supervisors yesterday passed to orint an ordinance fixing the city’s tax rate for the next fiscal year at $1 12 on every $100 of assessed valu- ation. This is a reduction of 8.53 cents on the rate of $1.2053 as originally con- templated in the municipal budget just adopted owing to the fact that the lat- ter rate was based on an estimated as- sessed vaulation of $465,000,000, when in 1 point of fact Assessor Dodge will re- turn an assessed valuation of more than $500,000,000, If the rate of $1.2053 were put into ef- fect it would result in the collection of more than $400,000 for which no appor- { tionment could be made, and as a con- sequence the surplus would lie idle in the city treasury until July 1, 1505. Rather than collect this surplus, which could not be used, the board decided to adopt a lower rate, which will resuit in a revenue of $7,392,386 to meet the bud- get expenditures. The segregated items and funds follow: OF BUILDINGS Amended Ordinance In- creases Existing Restrie-| tion on Wooden Struetures | WANT LAW RESPECTED| Petitioners Resent Non-En-| forcement of Ordinance| on Sidewalk Elevators| » L —_— The Board of Supervisors yesterday | passed to print the amended ordinance | limiting the height of all wooden build- | ings to forty-five feet. The limit under the old ordinance has been fifty feet, but the reduction is in the line of bet- | ter fire protection and is favored by the Fire Wardens and insurance men. The latter appeared before the joint Finance, Fire and Building Committee previous to the meeting of the board | and urged the adoption of the lower limitation. 1 The proposed clause Ilimiting the number of stories of wooden buildings to three was eliminated from the pro- visions of the ordinance, the height limit being deemed a sufficient reduc- tion. i J.
