Denver her services were in constant de
mand by her many society friends. Six
months ago she took the leading part in the
opera, "Merry Milkmaids,", for the benefit
of the churches in Denver. This, her de
but in operatic music, was so well received
that offers were tendered her by theatrical
managers. Mrs. Evans has a" handsome

gramme there have been so many requests
made by members of the club for* Miss
Annie Cohn to recite that it is expected
she will be called upon to deliver lines
from "Hamlet." Her talent as an -elocu

PICTURES SET TO MELODY.
Some Illustrated Perform
ances of the American
Concert Band.
i How Sheridan's Ride Was Seen
and Heard— Western
. Sousa.
In the excitement of the French Hospi
tal Fete people were too much occupied
with buying and selling to give their en
tire attention to the American Concert
band, directed by Alfred Roncovieri. Last
night, however, the music and the scenic
effects used to illustrate it formed the chief
attractions, and both won a good deal of
applause.
Alfred Roncovieri, who bears such a
striking resemblance to Sousa, directed his
band of 100 musicians with taste and skill.
The appearance of the large body of musi
cians in their handsome uniforms and
white caps was very effective, particularly
when the lights in the gayly decorated hail
were turned down, and the large platform
framed in palms and flags was the only
portion of the building that was illumi
nated. Then, out of the semi-darkness,
picture after picture was flashed upon the
screen, adding wonderfully to the realistic
effect of the descriptive music.
One of the pieces that excited the audi
ence most was "Sheridan's Ride at Win
chester." The pictures were so vivid, and
followed one another in such rapid suc
cession, that pdople seemed to be actually
witnessing the camp-life of the rebellion;
the soldiers seeing the vision of home in
the smoke of the fire, then the sudden
arousing and the rush into the battle with
a ringing cheer, which was almost drowned
by the clatter of hoofs and the firing of
musketry. Sheridan's; final charge at
Winchester was blurred by the smoke j
from the rifles, and the music grew fainter I
and fainter as Washington, Lincoln and
Grant were flashed successively on the
canvas. Finally the American flag was I
pictured, while the band ended the de
scriptive fantasia by playing "The Star
spangled Banner."
Another, illustrated piece that won ap
plause was "The Night Alarm," picturing
the details of a fire at night. The "Negro
Dance" was an amusing piece of a comic
description, in.which the pictures made the
meaning of the music much more clear
than a descriptive programme could have
done. Some of the unillustrated numbers
were a fantasia introducing airs from
Verdi's "Aida," a Mexican dance by
Aviles, and works by Yon Suppe and
Waldteufel.
A large part of the Mechanics' Pavilion
was reserved for promenading and for
booths. Within a few days a theater and
other attractions will be opened in machin
ery hall.
At the Paris Exposition of 1900 Dr.
Price's Baking Powder will compete. And

SWIPT COAL CAERIEES.
Fast Passages Made to and From the
Sound. .
The American ship Llewellyn J. Morse
arrived from Departure Bay yesterday with
a cargo of coal for J. Rosenfeld's Sons,
making the round trip under twenty-five
days and winning a suit of clothes for her
captain.
The vessel was towed in by the tug
Active and as she was bowling up the bay
at full beat was boarded by the quarantine
officer. Captain McFarland executed one
of the prettiest maneuvers ever witnessed
on the bay in putting the quarantine
launch alongside the swiftly moving ship.
,He crossed the Active's bow, giving ship
and tug a wide berth; then steered down
to the lee side of the vessel, going straight
at her head until within a few feet of her
head, when the launch came around and
just scraped the ship's side and got her
painter on board*the Morse.
The Morse is not the only vessel which
made a quick round trip to the sound.
The Cyrus Wakefield left for Nanaimo on
February 8 and returned with a cargo of
coal Sunday. The Spartan left San Fran
cisco on the 3d ult. and arrived here yes
terday. The America, which left here two
days after the Spartan, returned yester
day. The Dashing Wave beat the fleet.
She sailed on February 10 and returned
yesterday. The Wachusett left here on
February 8 for Nanaimo and has not been
heard of since.

MARIE BURROUGHS
IN "THE PROFLIGATE."
Reappearance of the Charming
Actress in Pinero's Strong
Play.
MILITARY HIT AT MOROSCO'S,
"Olivette," "Black Crooks" and
Variety Bills at Other
Theaters.
The reappearance of one of our choicest
favorites, Marie Burroughs, and the first
production in this city of one of the best of
the modern .school of drama, Pinero's
"Profligate," drew a large and fashionable
audience to the Baldwin last night.
The story of the play is simple. Dun
stan Renshaw (Mr. Kellerd) has led astray
Janet (Miss Perry) prior to his marriage
to Leslie Brudenell (Miss Burroughs), and
in the midst of a life of dissipation. The
latter, "half a schoolgirl and half a
woman," as "die describes herself, whose
only hope is to.be good enough for her
husband, of Whose delinquencies she
knows nothing, finally discovers this and
casts him off, but afterward, moved by his
grief at his loss of her, forgets the past
and they start life anew together.
There is no complication of plot, no
counterplot, really no other occasion for
other characters than those named and
that of Hugh Murray, who has known the
truth but is powerless to intercede. There
are two creeds : Murray's, that Renshaw's
vices will not be buried, but will always
rise before him, and Renshaw's, or rather
Lord Dangar's, that "marriage is, the tomb
of the past as far as a man's early life is
concerned." There is, too, another theme
upon which the play is built— that stated
by one of his characters, "The world has a
short memory for a man's disgrace; it is
only for women that it lays down the laws
of scandal."
In earlier days, and days not so far distant,
the dramatist would have made virtue tri
umph and would have punished Renshaw for
his turpitude. But his redemption is his love
for his wife — love that was, without question,
pure and holy— and his attempted suicide in
the last act is stopped by her in much the same
way as was shown in the earlier play, "The
Dancing Girl."
The "Profligate" is within its lines, and on
the theory oi the fin de siecle play, undoubt
edly artistic: it is unconventional in treatment
and has few situations that amount to a climax ;
but it is strong, and the story is well told with
little drag. The drama of Sudermann, Mat
teriink and Ibsen has been softened in parts
and toned down so as to remove the glare of
some of its most vivid colors; but the
primal rudiments, the raison d'etre so
to speak, are still as prominent in
Pinero as they were in his foreign masters
and the general trend of modern drama is
marked by the "Profligate" as one of its strong
est examples. When the reaction will come,
as it is surely destined to come, and as it
should come, under the conditions of our mod
ern life, is another matter— the artistic merits
of the play and the artistic ability of the
author are deserving of much commendation.
As the heroine Miss Burroughs achieved a
great success. She was so tenderly sweet, so |
trusting, so confiding that pity became aKin to j
love. With many of the characteristics of |
her former success as Letty, in "Saints and
Sinners," her work last night rose far above i
the other parts and showed her great improve
ment in later years. There were no stage out
bursts of passion, no vehemence, no palpable
acting in her performance; it was all su
premely natural. The rendition of the part
makes Miss Burroughs prominent among
American actresses, and the manifest evi
dences of her great talent show her as destined
for a very prominent place on our stage. - '
Mr. Kellerd as Dunstan Renshaw, the profit
gate, proved an excellent stage companion for
Miss Burroughs. The part was one which the
majority of actors would have overacted, but
Mr. Kelierd's art carried him through the play
work with a great deal of success, and he justly
shared in the applause which greeted the per
formance.
Mr. Louis Massen, another old favorite here,
was the Hugh Murray of the cast and played
the part excellently, with the utmost apprecia
tion of the author's idea and the greatest
fidelity in carrying that idea out.
Mr. Brown as Wilferd and Mr. Saint Maur as
Lord liangars were also quite successful in
their respective parts, and the other roles were
generally in good hands.
The next and last week of the engagement
will be occupied with Jones' "Judah," in which
Miss Burroughs has made a very successful hit
heretofore. >--»»■
"OLIVETTE" AT THE TIVOLI.
Andran's Pretty Light Opera, Captnres the
Audience.
Audran's successful "Olivette" bids lair to
have a good run at the Tivoli this week. The
opera has been for years one of the most tune
ful on the light opera stage, and the cast and
general presentation at the Tivoli show its
merits to their best advantage.
The acting of Mr. Hartinan as Coquelicotwas
the chief feature of last night's performance.
Mr. Hart-nan was absolutely and idiotically
funny, just what the part requires, and he
"bobbed up" as serenely as his song. The Oli
vette was charming Grade Plaisted, whose
chic and vivacity always light up any opera
in which she is cast.
De Merrimac and Valentine were respectively
Messrs. Raffael and Bronson, who are uni
formly good and reliable. The Countess was
Belle Thorne, who has an excellent voice, and*
her ducal cousin was well taken by Mr. Olmi,
Mr. Wilson adding to the general excellence of
the cast as the Seneschal. 38G_8ffl
The Tivoli has been putting on a series of
one-week operas with excellent effect and in
an admirable manner, due to the exertions of
Stage Manager Nash and Director Hirschbach,
and good houses have been the result. "Giro
fle-Girofla," another old favorite, is announced
for next week.
"In the Ranks" a Hit.
There was a double interest attending the
performance of "In the Ranks" at Morosco's
Grand Opera-house last night. Miss Maud
Edna Hall, the new leading lady, made her
first appearance, and Rev. J. Henry Walker
Harris, the Oakland lay-reader, made his de
dutas a thespian. From the amount of ap
plause bestowed on Mr. Harris more interest
was centered in him than in Miss Hall. He
played the role of the ruthless villain in a man
ner that brought tears to the eyes of the gal
lery gods. He sallied forth to start the wind
mills of dramaturgy and he succeeded very
well. Hr. Harris has some of the necessary
qualifications that go to make a good actor— a
tine presence, a good voice and an unlimited
amount of courage, and he displayed all three
last night. Miss Hall is about the best leading
lady that Mr. Morosco has yet engaged. She is
a careful, painstaking actress, with a pretty
face and figure, arid she speaks her lines with
easiness and feeling. The remainder ot the
cast was good, and the piece was admirably
staged. \
At the California.
Hoyt's "A Temperance Town" opened its sec
ond week at the California Theater last night
to a crowded house. The comedy is certainly
one of the most original that Mr. Hoyt has ever
written. It is full of bright lines and interest
ing situations, and it pleases all classes of
theater-goers.
The Stockwell Show.
"The Great Black Crook" at Stockwell's was
strengthened by the appearance of George
Padigo, a clever juggler, last night. Dadigo
did some of the most marvelous juggling with
plates, tubs, tables, chairs and knives ever seen
in this.city. The performance went very well,'
and the French Dancers' made their usual hit.
The Orphenm's New Bill.
Some exceptional novelties were presented
at the Orpheum last evening. LesQuatre Diezs,
the Parisian vocalists and dancers, made one
of the most remarkable hits that ever captured
an audience in that theater. They are new and
original, and their performance is full of bright
things. They received a number of encores
last night. Adele Ouri, who does the serpentine
dance on the revolving globe, was loudly ap
plauded. F. J. Bryant, Pried and Bartelo and
the Vernett Brothers were also well received.
The Alcazar's Spectacle.
The production of "A Black Crook Up to
Date" at the Alcazar pleased l another large
audience last evening. The spectacle is now
in good running order and the ballets and
dances, designed *by Miss Sallie : Cerk, find
plenty of appreciation. Thomas Leary * and
Florence Thropp Introduced some new business
last night and Senorita Matilda danced a new
dance. The piece will run until the end of the
.week. <,-.•_*"'!', , ,* ■
At the "Wigwam.
The Marie Rostelle Burlesque Company pre
sented a new burlesque before a crowded house
last night. The piece was entertaining, and
was not at a loss for new songs and dances.
It will please the Wigwam audiences im
mensely.
Popular Concert at the Auditorium.
The Metropolitan Musical Society's orches
tra, under the direction of Fritz Scheel, will
give a popular concert to-night at the Audi
torium. The programme will include favorite
compositions by Strauss, Mo.zkowski, Mozart,
Liszt, Beethoven, Rubinstein, Milloecker, Men

To-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock the society
will give a public symphony rehearsal. A pro
gramme of rare attractions has been arranged
— Gluck's overture, "Iphigenia," with the end

ful symphonic poem, "Jeanne dAre:" Bizet's
suite," "Roma" (first time): and "A Night on
Mount Chauve," by Mouesta Moussorgski.
This programme will be repeated Thursday
evening for the society's third symphony con

IN MEMORY OF DOUGLASS.
Interesting Memorial Service
by the Colored People in
Zion Church.
Held Up as a Model for People
to Pattern After— Sympathy
Expressed.
The colored population of this city, Oak
land, Alameda and Berkeley assembled
last night in the Zion A. M. E. Church on
Stockton street, where a memorial service,
under the auspices of the Assembly Club,
was held in respect to the memory of the
late Frederick Douglass.
The edifice was crowded to its full capac
ity by an audience that listened with deep
interest to the services, which were
opened by George W. Dennis Jr., who
briefly stated the purpose of the assem
blage, which he declared was to show in a
solemn manner the respect of the colored
people for the memory of one of the great
est men, if not the greatest, in whose veins
negro blood flowed. _
After a prayer by the Rev. George E.
Jackson, pastor of the church, the choir,
composed of Mrs. A. Clayton, ajto; W. R.
Davis, barytone; Professor J. William
son, tenor 'and organist; George W. Har
mer, Mrs. McPherson, Mrs. Susan Johnson
and Mrs. E. A. Thomas, rendered "I Have
Set Watchers Upon Thy Wall."
Henry C. Dibble, who had expected to
be present, sent a letter expressing his re
gret for his inability to appear, on account
of the serious illness of a member of his
family. In his letter he wrote:
I had the honor of Mr. Douglass' acquaint
ance. He was not only a great man intellectu
ally and morally, but he was also a broad
minded patriot. Am sorry I cannot listen to
Miss Ida B. Wells. Tell her for me that she has
the spirit of a crusader and the courage of a
martyr. God will help her and her noble
work.
W. E. Henderson, announced as the first
speaker, said that he felt it an honor to
speak of the greatest man of his race the
world had known. He described Frederick
Douglass as standing with one hand on the
North and the other on the South begging
for justice and equal rights for those of his
race.
When the colored race lost J. C. Price,
who did so much to blot out the Mason
and Dixon line, the mantle removed from
him by the hand of death fell upon Fred
erick Douglass, who worked so faithfully
in foreign lands and in this country for
those of his race until that noble man,
Abraham Lincoln, with one stroke of his
pen, freed 4,000,000 of enslaved people.
Then, even, Douglass' work was not done,
for, when the K.u-Klu__ were rampant in
the South, he was found working to see
that justice was done to the negroes. Not
only the colored people have suffered a
great loss, but the American people have
suffered a great loss in Frederick Douglass.
What he did for the race, he said, would
never be fully appreciated until the history
of the negro race in the United States was
written. In conclusion the speaker said:
"Frederick Douglass has left footprints on
the sands of time which no storm will ever
efface.'.'; .
Miss Lilly Wells gave as a piano solo
"Nearer, My God, to Thee" with a delicacy
of touch that would havo done credit to
many a professional.
The Rev. Mr. Brown of Oakland dwelt
upon the good works of Douglass, and
urged the young people to study his life
and pattern after him, saying in conclusion
that he would feel prouder of being the
son of Frederick Douglass than to be the
owner of $5000.
"Calvary," a vocal solo, was rendered by
Robert Thomas, and he was followed by
Rev. E. T. Coltman of the Bethel M. E.
Church, who spoke in a eulogistic strain of
the great work accomplished by Douglass
in his fight for the rights of the people of
his race. A.;, i
The "Intermezzo" from the "Cavalleria
Rusticana" was given by the Estrella Man
dolin Club, after which Miss Ida B. Wells
spoke at some length of Douglass as she
knew him, of his works for the benefit of
the race, and closed by urging the young
people to profit by his works and what they
taught. .':/..
Cornelius A. Hughes after a few remarks
introduced resolutions prepared by the
Assembly Club expressing sympathy for
the loss of a great man. These were adopt
ed by a rising vote.
The exercises were brought to a close by
the singing of the doxology and benedic
tion by the pastor.

-Buckley. Is Still Rusticating"
STATUS of the Eliot
Case.
Jake Rudolph's quarrel with Chris Back
ley and the blind man's flight to Liver
more to evade his former confidant's threat
ened vengeance formed the chief topic of
conversation among the politicians and
men about town yesterday, and further de
tails of the affair are constantly coming to
light. Inquiry along the "cocktail route"
revealed the fact that Rudolph is drinking
heavily and is rapidly reaching the condi
tion in which he was when he shot Mr.
Eliot. He required assistance to reach
his room Sunday night. Mr. Buckley is
still in the country.
The two men Mr. Buckley failed to
meet at the Baldwin Hotel, according to
appointment, are Ed Corrigan and Joe
Lhlman, the well-known racing men. Mr.
Corrigan, in the lobby of the Baldwin
last night, said:
"I do not know where the Call got the
story, ', but the details, so far as tney are
known to me, were correctly stated. " Mr.
Buckley was not to meet Mr. Uhiman and
myself here one night last week at half
past 9 o'clock, but Tie did not come. I
think it was Wednesday night. Anyway,
it was the evening before Uhiman went
East."
A member of the police force stationed
on Kearny street said last night that orders
were : given four or Aye days ago to stand
up Rudolph on sight and search him for
weapons. . The oilicers were informed that
Rudolph was "gunning" for some one, but
the name of the threatened individual was
withheld, i . 7 .
At the Occidental Club the matter was
discussed in all ts bearings and consider
able surprise was expressed that Buckley,
who is on Rudolph bond in the Eliot
case, did not surrender him to the authori
ties instead of leaving town himself.
The cbarge of assault to commit murder
against Jake Rudolph is still pending in
Judge Low's court. It will be remem
bered that on May 7" last Rudolph went
funning for the proprietor of the Chronicle.
Ie created a disturbance in .the business
ottice, and when the cashier, J. B. Eliot,
attempted to put him out, he fired at
Eliot, the bullet lodging in nis groin.
Rudolph was arrested and next morning
his case was called in Judge Conlan's court.
On May 13 a warrant was issued from Judge
Low's court charging Rudolph with insan
ity, and two days later he was taken before
the Insanity Commissioners and adjudged
insane. The same day Eliot swore to the
complaint charging him with assault to
commit murder.
The case had meantime been transferred
from Judge Conlan's court to Judge Joa
cbimsen's court.. It was continued from
time to time, and on August 16 was again
transferred to Judge Low's court. Month
after month it been called in this court
and continued. On Thursday last it was
again called, and by consent of the Prose
cuting Attorney _.nd Attorney Clunie for
the defendant was again continued for
thirty days.
