The same resolution provided for the gelection of the Bell o, M. Bloom, A Huta end Adan The representa Pocahontas C mith as past iv ter and Bush, as an alternative site for the Lowell High School. The Mayor promptly vetoed the entire resolution, as it was which set gside lands adjoining Latayette Patk, now owned by 5. W.

Some private owners, however, including Hol- aday. got title to the two blocks bound- vl by Gough, Octavia, Sacramento and ~{ Washington . streets, and now Holladay wants to sell his property to the city for the school site. | Holladay submitted two offers to the | Boara of Supervisors. The first .was to {=mell to the city a lot on the north line |of Clay street (if Clay street was ex— {tended) and adjoining Lafayette Park, | 127 feet 8% inches by 275 feef, for $150,000, {and the second, 127 feet 8} inches by 276 feet, on the south line of Clay street (f { extended), also adjoining Lafay | for the sum of $125000. . g WOULD UTILIZE STREET. The objection was raised that as Clay and Octavia streets are not open publie streets’in the blocks described the school site would have no frontage.

The advance sale of seats for the Conried grand opera season, which opens at the Grand Opera-house on { April 16, has broken all previous rec- ords up to date. Manager Charles W. Strine stated yesterday that ailready 1 890,000 worth of tickets had been dis- posed of. The sale of seats for single perform- ances, which was to have opened on Monday morning, has been postponed | till Thursday, for the orders for season tickets and hoxes came in so rapidly that the management-could not handle them without postponing the other sale, The tickets ordered through the mails were. promised to be delivered on Mon- day, but Strime -anneounces -they will not be ready till Wednesday. —— In the Divoree Court, James H. Morrissey filed suit yester- day to annul his marriage to his wife, | Ellen. Morrissey asserts that his wife | was: insane when he married her and that subsequently she was committed | to the asylum for the insane. - Suits for divorce agalpst William E.

One went to the Majestic yes- terday in rather fearful mood. It seemed hardly lkely that Miss Stewart would duplicate her admired achievements in “Sweet Nell.” And many folk must have been of that way of thinking, the audi- ence being only a fair one. Possibly, also, the woes of ‘‘Camille”—it is so to be hoped—do not appeal as they used to. Which all does not prevent the third act, the fourth, from offering emo- tional opportunities to the actress that are not often equaled. Miss Stewart, in whom nervousness, I have found, takes the form of artificiality, gave token of this in her first scenew: One of the questions of the day since Miss Stewart's debut here has bee Miss Stewart theatrical in metho is Miss Stewart's Nell Gwynne only theatrical by reason of her conception of thne part, that of an actress llving in an_artificial period?” There are many devotees of both opin- ions. Yesterday afternoon, in Miss Stew- art’'s first scenes, it seemed that those who find the actress’ methods artificlal had amply the right of it. One was hardly prepared for the theatricism here. The curtain rose on a brililantly fur- nished room, Wwith gossip between a Comte de Varville (much the best we have had here) and a piquant Nannine | in most naturalistic vein. This is con- tinued by the other characters, and to these enters Camille, camellia crowned, in actressy coiffure and cloth of gold gown. Beautiful she looks, indeed, but | it suggests rather the beauty of the cafe chantant than that of the “perfect lady” into which Camille has lately been trans- lated. She acts somewhat in the vein, too, for some little time—this, also, may be in her conception of Camille—with a robust | cough about which there can be no mis- | take, and a distinet tendency to ‘“‘elocu- | tion” in her scenes with Armand. Withal, | Miss Stewart is all through the magnetic, | fascinating and captivating quantity | known to us heretoforg as Nell Gwynne. In the scene with Pipa Duval the act- ress began to strike out the heart of the | part. Very pretty comedy with Gustave and Nichette precedes it, Miss Stewart in {a little poem of a country. gown, in a | | | and white, and roses. | ~And then Misg Stewart became great. | Not Bernhardt even has excelled, it | | seemed to me yesterday hardly more than | | equaled, the tragic intensity of Miss Stew- | art’s acting in the gaming scene. It | dragged the very heart out of one. One pang, seemingly unbearable, followed fast | upon’ another. All the false moralities, |.sentimentalities, of the play were forgot- | | ten in the acting. Miss Stewart made real | the tortures of a woman who had de- | graded love for love's sake, fighting her love, fighting the desire to justify her- | self, writhing on the zack of her_ lover's | scorn, vet fighting to the unbearable end | to save him from herself and from death. It was magnificently done; it was greatly | done. It stamps Miss Stewart-as an act- | resg of extraordinary capacities; of seem- | ingly unlimited power. | Mr. Harcourt Beatty was first in the support with a fine Armand. He brought | a passion, a power to the gaming. scene that most admirably seconded Miss Stew- |artf. Ana like the rest of the actors Mr. | Beatty has tone, class, which in particu- | 1ar James Lindsay, in his capital De Var- ville, and the excellent Gaston, share. | Miss Dora Reginold is pretty as Nichette, | and the rest are all helpful. The produc- | tion is an honor even to Mr. Musgrove, | and the music commands distinct grati- | tude. Altogether a “‘Camille” to be seen. B e Thursday afternoon the University Symphony Orchestra did its best work of the season, In the Tschaikowsky Symphonie Pathetique, that formed the chief part of the programme. Perhaps this is not remarkable. As every one now knows the circumstances of the | day were strange and sad. With his | mother lying dead in an Eastern home, with his only child lying dangerously ill here, Dr. Wolle came to the con- | ductor's desk, quietly putting aside his private griefs with a heroism that is not often paralleled. It was a strange chance that gave the “Pathetique” as the symphony of the day, the Pathetique, with its pas- | sion of pain, its despairing rebellions, | its gray grief, and it was perhaps a | fortunate chance. It was like that | other strange chance of last year, that | gave Alois Burgstaller, with word of | his mother's death just received, the | song of Parsifal’s grief at the death of | his mother to sings Perhaps neither | mother could have received nobler trib- ute at the hands of her son than his sacrificial - self-forgetfulness. And to his, Dr. Wolle brought the best work he has so far done in California, the tremendous hymn of grief he made of the symphony. The performance reached its remark- {able climax in_ the allegro vivace, played with a dramatic grandeur, & swift sensitive ensemble, that one found almost incredible. I think it is now seventy-four men Dr. Wolle counts in his orchestra; they played here as one man. The opening allegro was also most notable, though not as finely per- formed as the vivace. But the reading | reached both majesty and passion: and the tremendous themes rang out roy- ally against the living tapestry of tone. It was not a day for Dr. Wolle to play the con grazia movement, that | Mascagni led here with such Juscious appreciation one remembers. He hur- | | ried through the movement, losing thus, of course, mOSt of {ts sin- uous seductiveness. The impending rain dlso came in here. The gods even dered a drop or two, buf Professor Armes held up his hand and they meek- 1y took it back! Actually, the rain, that flung an extra staccato into the “Mid- summer Night's Dream,” and tried again in the symphony, held off until exactly five minutes after the last note of the concert. The house, “however,” at least those strangers that did not -know Professor Armes’ rain-breaking achievements, put.up umbrellas for the closing ‘Wagner, until the theater looked like a mushroom hed. The Wag- ner, the Prelude of “Die Meistersinger,” was rather serambly in’ performance— not unnaturally. The “Midsummer Night's Dream” overture came next in point of interest to-the symplony. Here again the quick, clear ensemble was\in {evidence, with certain delicacies of nuance, lhl.dln%l, that have not before been reached by the orchestra. The earlier Haydn (al- legretto, minuetto, from the Military Symphony), the Beethoven “Coriolanus” overture completed the - programme. $1100 was taken in at the box office. And the symphony orchestra and its leader are growing swiftly, surely, as the tre¢es we saw budding Thursday. : BLANCHE PARTINGTON, Probably 5000 people heard it; and| TRADE REPOATS * 1AE IRRECULAR Uneasiness Regarding Labor Situation Causes Slight Depression in the Markets BUILDING STILL ACTIVE Outdoor Work Is Rapidly Increasing and Indications Point to Prosperous Year b NEW YORK, March 30.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade to- morrow will say: Trade reports are still somewhat ir- regular, owing to widely differing weather conditions and uneasiness re- garding the lgbor situation. Outdoor work is rapidly increasing and prepara- tions are being made for a record- breaking year in building and agricul- ture. Less than the usual interruption to freight movement has occurred this winter, railway earnings making un- precedented exhibits and roads report- ing for March thus far show an aver- age gain of .76 per cent over the pre- vious year. Foreign commerce at this port for the last week exhiblts a gain of $2,432,351 in exports and a loss of $2,183,887 in imports as compared with the same week last year. A better feeling is reported in the market for domestic hides. Failures this week number 191 in the United States, against 244 last year, and 17 in Canada, compared with 19 a year ago. NEW YORK, March 30.—Bradstreet's tomorrow will say: o Cross currents were visible in the business situation this week. Beneath the surface happenings, however, are to be discerned the steady advance of spring trade, the continuance of the im- mense activity in bullding, with col- lateral heavy dealings in all kinds of lumber and material, and the underly- ing confidence in a heavy year’s turn- over in all lines. Wheat (including flour) exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending March 29 were 1,542,852 bushels, against 2,203,012 last week. From July 1 to date the exports were 102,988,656 bushels, against 47.632,306 hushels last year. Bank clearings for the week ending with March 29 were $2,580882,348, which is 7 per cent under last week and 8 per cent below last year. Business failures in the United States for the week ending March 29 number 169, against 170 last week and 227 last year. For the week in Canada they were 18, against 29 last week and 29 in this week a year ago. —————————— RECEIVES LETTER PURPORTING TO COME FROM BLACK HAND J. M. Wilkins of the Clff House Is Advised by Police That He Is Victim of Joke. J. M. Wilkins, manager of the CIiff House, called upon Captain Burnett about a week ago and showed him an anonymous letter, which read as fol- lows: J. N. Wilkins, Clft House. You are a doomed man. It you do not mind your cwn business and stop blaming Ital'an Ashermen for killing eeals, by April 1 your head will be cut off. THE BLACK HAND. Wilkins explained that he®had sent a letter recently to ex-Mayor Phelan, blaming Italian fishermen for trying to exterminate the seals on 8eal Rock, and | he supposed that had brought forth the threatening letter from “The Black Hand.” Captain Burnett told Wilkins he be- lieved the letter was the work of some friend, who was playing a joke on him, but Wilkins goes prepared, just the same. —_—ee———— SANDERS CHARGED WITH BATTERY.— Herman F.
