Curran have the leading aces In the play. They do some strong work. George P. Webster has chance for some powerful acting as her Driscol, the faithful priest who s with the hero until his execution. While the trial scene is the most im- | pressive, that in the Dublin Jail, where the hero and the woman he loves have | their final parting, is little behind it ;mm its pathos left many a wet eye | among the ladies present. Miss Crosby gives the audience the best of her tal- | ent in this scene. | Henry Shumer as the villain, Michael | Macalhin, has a difficult role that he masters well; True Boardman ana | James Corrigan also appear to special advantage, and Miss Ellsmere, as | Anna Devlin, receives the attention that usually comes to her. The specialties are introduced mainly in the second act, at the home of Father Driscol, where Emmet an- nounces Miss Curran as his future wife. The roém is full of gay young Irish people in costume, and songs and dances are rendered. J. P. Kelleher and J. J. O'Connell and the Misses e and Hazel Allen performed some lic footwork thaj aroused the fuli- est approval of the audience, which | was not backward in attesting its ap- * | preciation. Mrs. Daisy Keane-Gillog- ley sang some Irish songs, which were algo applauded with fervor. The closing scene, in which a touch- ng lament for the dead hero is sung, is one of great pathos. The bereaved Sarah Curran clings to the cross over a newly made grave, while the mournful =ong rings out. Across green fields in the distafre is seen the city of Dublin, at whose university the patriot Em- met recefved his education with Thomas Moore, the poet, and other | great Irishmen, and conceived the am- patients Avice s wen arranged £o t bition of freeing his country from the lectro-Chemic Spe oppressor. v &nd up until § nigh 4 - xmnfi:,wh{r Pave undergone surgical opera. | ¥rom the enthusiasm it aroused it tions without curative results and hundreds | Seems that the play will do a big 1o nave been drigges with medicines for | weelk's business.

At the busiest moment of the dinner hour, when the lower cor- ridor of the hostelry was crowded with handsomely gowred women and their hungry husbands and escorts, D. Dal- zell, a guest, furnished an interesting speclecle as he was suddenly bounced out of an elevator by the hotel officer and then unceremoniously ushered out of the big establishment to -Powell streat. i\ The scene in the lower corridor of the hotel was the climax of a more excit- ing one that had been cnacted a few minutes before on one of the floors above. Dalzell, who is a young but stalwart Scotchman, well connected but frequently addicted to drink, e gaged apartments at the St. Franc Sunday. He paid for his room for one day in advance and yesterday he began contracting an indebtedness that did not please the management. When one of the attaches of the hotel was sent to his room to politely suzgest that the management would rather see some of his money than his tags, Dalzell assumed an air of indig- nation, which he apparently could not control. He accepted the visit of the hotel representative as an intrusion, quoted law on the privacy of one’s domicile and then grew boisterous. Finding that this method of remon- stration was not impressing his visitor as he would have it, Dalzell proceeded to make a rough house by breaking up the furniture of his room. It was at this stage of the noisy | affair that the hotel detective took a hand and a rough and tumble fight ensued, ending in the obstreperous Scotchman’s being thrown out of his room and hustled along to the ele- vator, down which he was escorted and finally ejected from the fearing that his escapade might end in his arrest, sought the assistance of, friends at the Pacific Uuion Club, who called at the St. Francis and agreed | to stand responsible for the damage done by Dalzell. A few months ago Dalzell had trou- ble with a guest at the St. Francis and | finally Janded at the police station, where he was, however, released wit out being charged with any offense. While drinking at the hotel bar with a newly made acquaintance from the East, Dalzell was accused of having picked up from the bar some currency, which his half-inebriated friend had displayed. When the hotel attaches ordered him to return the money to| its owner, Dalzell denied he had it and he was turned over to the police and taken to the station. There he admitted that he had taken the money and dis- gorged it. ' BENEFIT GIVEN | AT ALHAMBRA : FOR JACK TARS BY SALLY SHARP. That was quite a programme present- ed at the Alhambra last night for th: benefit of the Seamen’s Institute—al- ! most more programme than But what there lacked in made good in appreciation, which is something. Quite the biggest event-— the piece de resistance—was the come. dietta, “The M le Arch,” done to a turn by Rayden Williamson, Mrs. J. Wilson Shiels, Miss Helen Wagner and named were the honors won, Royden Williamson confirming the opinion formed of him in “The Liars”—that he possesses the taste and temperament of a clever actor man. This little skit was written for Beer- | bohm Tree about twenty-five years ago, when it obtained quite a vogue. And its intelligent presentation last night was largely due to the efforts of : Francis 1. Mathieu, stage manager, to whom much credit is due. And, by the way, the ladies looked mighty pretty before the footlights. Then there was George Bromley's monologue—dear old Uncle George, taking the people into his confidence | about . “Tacking the Ship.” And bless- ings on him!—one could hear every word as it fell from his lips. A pretty welcome the old Bohemian received. The programme was presented as follows: Overture, Mare Tsland Marine band; drill with arms, seamen from the training station at Goat Island; barytone solo, ‘‘Over the Bounding Wave.” E. G. Dickinson; (a) mon ologue,’ ““Tacking the Ship,” George Bromley. (b) song, selectsd, Judge Melvin, Oakland: Page's aria from “Les Huguenots,” Miss Helen Heath. dramatic soprano, Von Meyer- | ing and San Francisco Musical Club; (a) an- chor raising, chantey by seamen. from Port Costa,. Jeader Mr. Jefferson; (b) mandolin trio, bluejackets from Goat Isiand Traliing Station: (c) hauling chantey, seamen from Port Costa: international tableau” Adepicted by six girls singing. In appropriate costumes, typical songas of fthelr respective countries: = France—Miss | Helen Heath. “'Vivandiere,” Great Britaln—F. §. Basford, ““Britannia_Rules the Waves ““Brunhiide,"” Seville” “'Star Spangled Banner."” For so clever a programme it is re- grettable that more people didn't hear it. And that navy vard band was a whole joy unto itself. ‘Those “chanteys” by the seamen— really, truly seamen-—were rollicking, roving rills of melody. They: were tunes beloved of men, and tunes that set one’s feet to motion. EXPLOSION OF GASES ON BATTLESHIP MAINE Catastrophe Similar to That on the Missouri a Year Ago Barely Averted.

Conflict of Authority - Be- tween Courts Keeps One | Litigant Long in Prison e S ! Special Dispatch to The Call. i COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, April 24. The verdict for the defendant, ren- ;dered by a jury at an early hour’ this morning in the Portland mine suit, brought to a close one of the most interesting cases in the history of min- ing litigation in the West. James Doyle was plaintiff and James F. ' Burns defendant, and the action was one brought to prove a partnership in | the Bobtail No. 2, the Devil’'s Own and ! the Tidal Wave claims, located in the Cripple Creek district in 1892, The properties now belong to the Portland Gola Mining Company, stock of that corporation having been issued to Burns in exchange for them. claimed $561,628 15 as the is half of the stock with dividends and interest. Burns’ line ! of defense was that he and Doyle were | partners in the Portland claim, for | which Doyle received his share of stock, and in ho others. | The case dates back to February 7, 1898, when a petition was filed in the Court here claiming $620,000. | was served on Burns avhile he | attending the annual stockhold- | ' meeting of the company in Coun- ! cil Bluffs. He was at that time and until February of this year president of the company. i Burns filed a special appearance and motion to quash the notice, objecting | to the court’s jurisdiction. Judge Smith entered an order overruling the ! motion and directing the defendant to | plead. i Burns refused to come into court, | and, instead, against Doyle in Colorado to enjoin | him from proceeding with the suit | here, and Judge Lunt granted an in- Junction. Doyle came to Council Bluffs, and, as Burns had ignored the Iowa court’s | order by failing to p"lead, Doyle dis- | regarded the Coloradd injunction, took ! a default against Burns, proved up | |and was given judgment for $717,025. | Doyle then returned home, was summoned before Judge Lunt and or- | dered by him to set aside the judg-| ! ment in Iowa within three days. This | ! he refused to do and was sent to jail, | | counsel, Judge Thornell ordered the ‘default and judgment set aside, on i condition that the defendant dismiss | all proceedings in Colorado, set Doyle free, pay all costs in connection with the default proceedings, waive all ob- jections to the Iowa jurisdiction and try the case on its merits. This was ‘agreed to and in October of the same {year the judgment was canceled. { Two vyears later the case came on {for trial. It lasted forty-two days and the jury brought in a verdict for Doyle for $446,922 73 The defense appealed to the ‘Sunréme Court of Iowa, its motion for a new trial hav- ing been overruled. The case was re- | versed by the Supreme Court and re- | manded to the Distriet Court for an- | other trial. This trial lasted forty- itwo days and the verdict was given | to-day. i — e il-‘,LE(TflOA\' COMMISSION AND | FINANCE COMMITTEE AT OUTS Two Sections of the Municipal Gov- ernment Disagree as to Technical Point of the Law. The Election Commissioners and the Finance Committee of the Board of Supervisors have not evidently agreed on a technical point of the law in regard to the purchase of supplies by any branch of the city government. | At a meeting of the Electiori Com- missioners last night in the City Hal a letter from the Finance Committe | was read in which it was said that the fuse to pass upon three bills incurre by the Election Commission in its purchase of supplies for the main- | tenance of its department .unless the proper method of procedure in the | buying of such supplies was observed. The members of the Election Com- mission were wroth at the action of | Supervisors d'Ancona and Branden- | stein. They allege that they pur- chased the supplies as necessaries to the carrying on of an election. Super- visors Brandenstein and D'Ancona assert that the supplies were not necessary. to the actual holding of an election, but were needed only in the | general maintenance of the Depart- | ment of Elections. D'Ancona says | that the Election Commission is re- | quired by law-—and cites the decision of the Supreme Court as authority— to make a reauisition to the Board of Supervisors for all supplies needed, ex- | cept the purchase of such articles as are.immediately necessary for the pro- ceeding with an election. When the proper method of procedure is com- plied with by the Election Commis- sioners, says the Finance Committee, it will approve the bills. The bilis held up are those of Brown & Power, Bennett Bros. and Fred W. Taylor. The bills, which aggregate but a small amount, were incurred in the purchase of hardware and sta- tionery for the maintenace of the Election Department. ————— DETECTIVE ARRESTS TWO MORE SUSPECTS Man and Woman Taken Into Custody | in Connection With Holdup 4 of Saloon. Detective Tom Ryan made two more arresfs last night in connection with the holding up of John C. Brutt's saloon at Second and Brannan streets last Friday evening. George Hunter and a woman Kknown ' as Alice Mason were taken into custody. Ryan is now looking for a woman named Ida Wilson, who, he says, was a com- panion of -the prisoners. Just what evidence the police have against Hun- ter and the woman is not known. A revolver loaded with one cartridge was found In the room where the arrests ,occurred at 149 Taylor strget. Hunter has a bad recokd and was arrested last September on suspicion of crime. Last week he was arrested in Oakland with a man named Jack Jackson and charged with grand Ir- ceny. He got his release last Friday afternoon on $500 cash bail. It was on this night that the holdup in Brutt's saloon and the murder of Riley occurred. The police have no new evidence against the other two sus- pects. —_— WASHINGTON, April 24.—Easter was the children g el g A CUSR ¥ | members of the Finance Committee, | excepting Supervisor Payot, would re- | FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, APRIL 25, 1905. Copyright, Pach, N. ¥. A Letter from Ex-President Cleveland. Princeton, Feb. 6, 1905. N my judgment a knowledge of history becomes more important with the passing of time; and it seems to me that it never was so im- | portant as in these days of stirring events and wondrous change. Many of us are obliged to confess that for one reason or another we missed opportunities to study history in younger days. However much we may now lament this, we know the only chance we shall have to remedy our embarrassing deficiency must be found in an arrange- ment of historical facts and epochs, in such a way as to be suited to commenced an action | the engrossing occupations and scant leisure of our later years. 1 have never seen a work that so completely answers this pur- pose as The His'orians’ History of the World. 1t is of broader import- ance than a mere book of reference, and yet no book of reference can be more comprehensive or easier of profitable utilization. ] pelieve those who have these volumes within their reach are e D e o mation of Bare' | provided with the means of a substantial historical equipment.

H gher prices will then go into effect. No More Specimen Volumes The Outlook’s offer of a spscimen volume for examination by intending sub- scribers has been the most successful innovation the publishing world has known in many years, but a vety serious embarrassment has suddenly arisen owing to the an- nouncement of the impending advance in price. This has been followed by an ex- traordinary demand for specimen volumes from those who have heretofore neglected to accept this opportunity to ex mine the books in the only really satisfactory man- ner—:hat is, at their leisure, and without the solicitation of the agent. No more specimen volumes can now be sent, as there are no more specimen vol- umes in stock. More than 60,000 of these volumes have been sent, by express, to all parts of the United States and to many foreign countries, involving an expense for express alone of $48,000.
