Leahy, the managing director | ’of the Tivoli Theater Company, just returned from a fortnight’s trip Ho the City of Mexico, after having closed a“contract of great impertance to the music lovers of San Francisco. | The success of Mr. Leahy's viSit means | | that the Tivoli will inaugurate a four | day evening, January 9, which will out- | rival in extent and musical importance | |any of the former season of grand | opera with which the Tivoli's chief fame | | Is associated. | The company that will present these ;opelas is an_organization of over one | bundrea people imported by the Mexi- | the busy throng. And the man,—the | can Government directly from Italy. It' | has been giving a season of grand | | opera in the City of Mexico under a | liberal subsidy from the Mexican treas- ury. It was the original intention of | the directors of this organization to go straight to Havana after the conclu- sion of their engagement in the Mexi- can capital; but through Mr. Leahy's efforts and his tempting financial in- | ducements their tour was rearranged. In every department this company is completely equipped and the full list of principals is as follo Soprani— nora Tettarazzini, Signora Berlindi, Signora Flory and Signora Bettini; | Mezzo sovrani and contralto—Signora | Claessens and Signora Marchi Signor Colli, Signor Baselli, Frosini tones—Signor La Puma, Signor Rom- boli and Signor Rossi; bassi—Signor | Rossi, Signor Mugnoz and Signor Cervi; conductors—Signor Pollacco, Signor Golisciani and Signor Longo; stage di- | rector—Signor Saporelli. There is a superb chorus composed of fresh-faced, young and talented Italian | signors and signoras and an orchestra which, when increased by the addition of some npechuly engaged players of the Tivoli orchestra, will number fifty. Signor chestra and others engaged in the pro- | duction will be 125. The complete repertoire to be pre- sented during the engagement will in- clude: “Faust,” by Gounod; “The Pearl Fishers,” by Bizet; “Mignon,” by Ambroise Thomas; ‘“Manon Lescaut,” by Jules Massenet; “Lakme,” by De- libes; “Rigoletto,” by Verdi; “Son- nambula,” by Bellini; “La Traviata,” by Verdi: “Dinorah,” ‘‘Pagliacci,” by Leoncavallo; “Cavalleria Rusticana,” | by Pietro Mascagni; “Lucia,” by Don- |lz°t(i' “Puritani,” by Bellini: “The Barber of Seville,” by Rossinl; “La | Tosca,” by Puccini; “Adrienne Lecouy- by Cilea; “Fedora,” by Gior- | dan 'Andre Chenier,” by Giordani, rurd ‘Zaza,” hy Leoncavallo. Many of | the artists who will appear in these '(peras have created in Italy the roles | in which they will appear. They have sung them at La Scala in Milan, the San Carlo Theater in Naples, the Con- stanzi Theater in Rome, the Paglion in Florence and the Mosimo in Palermo. —_————————— | ARTHUR'S POSTMASTER | IS UNDER ARREST | Accused by Inspector Dennis Coyne of Having Failed to Produce Gov- ernment Money. Henry D. Heckdendorf, blacksmith and postmaster at Arthur, Mendocino County, was arrested yesterday on nis Coyne on a charge of not having | Government money on hand when ) called upon to produce it. that Heckdendorf had been in the| habit of keeping his private money jand the Government money in the Inme purse and using it in his busi- ness. When called upon by the in- ! spector he was $25 or $30 short, but went out and brought it in in a few minutes.” Inspector Coyne does not believe that Heckdéendorf had any criminal intent, but he had violated the lester of the law and his arrest was obligatory upon the inspector. Heckdendorf gave bonds and was re- leased. He bears a very good repu- tation. —To-mor- it Rosanans' whl Shve o e Lyric Hall. a mas- I s 5&?

WHEN SMART MEMBERS THEREOF DISPORT THEMSELVES IN FANCIFUL GARB LIBRARY SITE NOT SELECTED! AR Sh Supervisors Unable to De- cide Between Western Ad- dition Blocks 67 and 73 DISCUSS CIVIC CENTER Agree to Take Action at a Meeting to Be Held on Next Tuesday Afternoon The Supervisors’ joint Finance and | Utilities Committee yesterday con- sidered the selection for & public li- ! brary site of block 67 of the Western Addition, bounded by Van Ness avenue, | Grove, Polk and Fulton streets or West- ern Addition block 72, bounded by Van | Ness avenue, Hayes, Fell and Franklin streets, the latter block being recom- | mended by the Public Library Trustees. | The committee was unable to arrive at a decision. | Thomas Magee & Sons submitted a | statement showing that block 73 was valued at $659,000 but said it could be purchased for $647,000, as they thought the owners of three-quarters of the| block, for whom the firm was the agent, would reduce their prices to that ex- tent. R. G. Hooker offered to sell a portion of block 67, being the entire Van Ness avenue fromtage with a depth of 109 feet and adjoining the 75 feet on Grove and also adjoining the 137% feet on Ful- ton, for the sum of $335,000. Supervisor D'Ancona contended that it would be unwise to select a location | for an isolated public building and | thought it better to await architect D. | H. Burnham's return in February, when some definite plans would be for- mulated for a civic center and for the roposed extension of the park pan- hl.ndle Library Trustee O’Connor objected to any delay in view of the fact that the library’s quarters were inadequate to | accommodate the patrons. He repeated that block 73 was still the choice of the trustees. Trustees Edward R. Tay- ‘lor argued that the block was prefer- | able to No. 67 because of its nearness to Market street; that the building would face to the east on Van Ness avenue and would have a permanent improvement in the charch on its | south side. “We need a library building sorely,” | said Taylor, “and the present place is a discredit to the city. of the site should not be delayed, for | even if you go ahead now it will be a | long while before we get the library.” Supervisor Payot said he favored | postponement until Burnham’s return; lita selection was to be made at once| | he would vote for block 73. B. J. Cahill described his plan for | creating a civic center and connecting {1t with the park panhandle by a boule- | vard on Fulton street and a chain of parks. Louls Zeh objected to cutting | away sixty feet of property on each side of Fulton street. Supervisor Braunhart said he would not favor submitting the propositions { for a bonded indebtedness for a civic center to the people until the acquisi- tion of a municipal water supply was voted upon. Connor spoke in favor of block 73 as recommended by the Library Trustees. The committee decided to postpone | action until next Tuesday at 2 p. m. e e TES FATAL.—Christopher Walls. a Jaborer. dled in the Southern Pacific Hospital yesterday from Injuries received seven mo: €0 in an accident in the Diamond Matc Company’s works at Chico.

The ar- { gument will be resumed at 9 a. m. to-day. ———— HARRY R. REESE MISSING.—James E. Keily of 2§ Kearny street reported at the Morgue yesterday the disappearance of Harry R. Reese, clerk in a shoe store at that number. Reese, he said had been missing since the previous day. B HORSE ELECTROCUTED.—A horse be- longing to P.

What next? Actu- | ally paying customers to buy pianos from us at cost. Did you ever hear of anything so ridiculous, but it is a fact | nevertheless, an absolute fact, and the |reason is that we will no longer be | agents for this line of fine instruments after January 1st, and after that date | we do not want a single & nt of | these makes left on our floor, in fact we will need the room for our new line of goods now in transit. We have | never imposed upon the public by offer- ing fictitious bargains in pianos and musical merchandise by a series of fake sales, as is commonly dcne in this | business, and we are just foolish | enough to believe when we an- | nounce to the public in bold print that we are going to close these Weber, ‘Wheelock and Stuyvesant pianos out at factory cost, also give a 25 per r-m re- duction on every banjo, m: gul- | tar and violin in this house, lhat the purchasing public will believe us. We have three beautiful art style ‘Webers left from our special sale, and if it were not for the fact that our re- lations with the Weber Piano Company and the firm who is to hapdle this line after January Ist, were not so pleasant we would quote prices on these makes in printers’ ink, so that you could judge for yourself what good bargains we are offering, but we must reserve the privi- lege of whispering this in your ear un- der the circumstances. We also have ome or two pianos of this celebrated make that arrived in slightly damaged condition, the varnish on the cases having been checked in transit, and on these pianos we will know no cost. Just to give you an idea of what we are doing in the way of prices please note the following: New $400.00 Stuyvesant Upright Pi- anos for $267.00. New $450.00 Wheelock Upright Planos for $295.00 (only one left). New $325.00 Bradford Upright Pianos | for $175.00. One Stuyvesant piano | San Domingo mahogany ; three months), $235.00. | One Steinway square, small but plain, | g8ood for twenty years’ service, just the thing for practice, $50.00. Any instrument purchased will be de- livered into your home upon a small | cash payment down and small monthly payments. Your terms will be our terms. Do not neglect this greatest of all offers.
