20 THE PLAY AND THE PLAYERS The California opens to-morrow with "The Old Homestead." _____ Fanny Rice comes to the coast next Decem ber in a new comedy. There will be an entire change of orchestra at Morosco's to-morrow evening. , "William Gillette comes himself with his com edy, "Too Much Johnson." to the Baldwin. The new opera "Dorcas" will be given by Pauline Hall during her engagement at the Baldwin. At the Press Club entertainment the leading George W. Wilson, Who Plays Joshua Whitcomb in " The Old Homestead." theaters will be represented. The programme will run two hours. Ferdinand Gottschalk, last seen here with Rosina Yokes, is now a member of Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Theater Company. Arthur Shirley's farce-comedy adapted from the French "Three Hats" will be one of the early productions at the Columbia Theater. Each of the thirteen members of the Frawley company has been presented with a Mexican opal. There is no superstition about that troupe. George W. "Wilson (Uncle Josh) in "The Old Homestead" is one of the oldest members of MAY NANNARY, ALCAZAR. the original Boston Theater and Boston Museum • stock companies, his first work dating back as far as 1871. The Water Carnival is soon to be abolished and comic opera will probably be substituted in its place. The old People's Palace did not pos sess very good acoustic properties, but a few judicious changes might do wonders for the building. At any rate the thing will be given a trial. ,VVV The manager. of 'the Orpheum, announces that he has added another theater to his list. It is the Curtis-street Theater, Denver, which he inteDds to open as a variety, house on July 6. This will make the Orpheum circuit include San Francisco, Los Angeles and Denver, and the enlarged route will afford greater facilities for a frequent change of artists. Just at the time when a large, number of the Eastern theaters are closing nn account of the heat, and roof gardens alone hold ■ out attrac tions to the fagged and jaded public, the thea ters here are driving a prosperous business, "WHAT A* KNIGHT WE'RE HAVING 1 " AVID GARRlCK— Congratulate you, Sir 'Henry!

This fact is especially brought home to one by the announcement that to-mor row evening the California Theater opens for its winter season. CALIFORNIA THEATER. The Season Opens To-Morrow With Domestic Drama. "The Old Homestead," after an absence of two years from San Francisco, will open the season at the California Theater to morrow evening. ... The cast is in the hands of capable people who have had plenty of experience in delineating char acter parts and most of them are familiar to the San Francisco public. George W. Wilson of the Boston Museum Stock Company will assume the part of Uncle Josh, and Frank Thompson, Den man Thompson's only son, is to play Happy Jack, a role in which he has been appearing "for" the last three years. The musical part of the entertainment has received special attention. Dick Jose, ac companied by "The Old- Homestead" double male "quartet, will sing "Just Fifty Years Ago" and "Bay After Day," and'a chorus of twenty voices will sing the Palms choral service in the Grace Church scene. 'The company brings with it a new equipment of scenery, prepared for the present" California season.* 'An original view of the old farmyard is shown in the first act, and the view of Grace Church, New York, has been made especially real istic. MOROSCO'S OPERA-HOUSE. A Drama With a "Very Exciting Race ■;'.; Scene. v - The racing drama, "The Pace the Kills," will be produced at the Grand Opera-house to-morrow night. A humorous element pervades the play, which is chiefly fur nished by a sporting lord, who is hen : pecked by his strong-willed voluble wife. The racing scene in the fourth act* is a ! clever reproduction of the famous National '-. Course at Aintree, Liverpool, and is the crowning effort of the play. In this scene : ten thoroughbreds gallop across the stage I with all the life and excitement of a full | fledged race. The scenic and mechanical | effects are said to surpass even Morosco's former efforts. The cast is as follows: . Sir Richard Fielding of Fielding Manor, George L. Montserrat; Stephen ll.rriek of Herrick Grange, Edmund Hayes; Sim Sylvestre, : a money lender, Frank Hatch; Joe "Settles, hostler 'at the (''range Stables, Charles W. Swain; John Stuart, an auctioneer, Frank Wyman; Silas Benton, Sheriff's man, J. Harry Benrimo; Luke IHaskins, station master "at Tr.-mlow - Friars, W.

Herrick's niece, Helen' Henry ; Bella Plum, a "living pic ture" under the name of Belladonna Flum mery, Julia Blanc; and Edward Herrick, Wal terSanford. *"',*•.""•' '» AT THE ORPHEUM. The Audience Will. 80. 'Treated' to a Circus. • A number of new acts will be presented at the Orpheum to-morrow night, Dan Sherman's Jay Circus being the leading attraction. This is a laughable conglom eration of humorous acts which are dis played in a real circus tent set on the stage, with all the regular sawdust acces sories., " * . Another feature of the new bill will be the Millar Brothers' diorama, which dis-. plays a number of stereopticon views, with interesting mechanical, and color effects.

Subscribers Want the Metropolitan Musical Society to Keep.Their. Money. - Although the Metropolitan Musical So? ciety failed to raise the. amount necessary for the guarantee fund, it is by no means dead; in fact, the organization is begin ning to* show unmistakable citrus of re newed activity. . When v John Parrott returned the ; sub scriptions , to , the guarantee fund a couple of weeks; ago; : stating ;. that the sum total was not sufficient to retain the Scheel solo ists i^ring the summer," the -following no tice was inserted in each letter: y * If you are still interested in our work we will be .pleased . to l>. have the . money .. the i inclosed check represents to aid the purposes of the association in keeping it: together for luture musical work. *. John I'arrott, president..!-; v In response to this notification over $300 has already been returned, and as it has been ascertained that scarcely any. of the checks have been presented at the banks, the probability is that almost the entire amount subscribed to the fund will be re turned for future musical work. ■ A num ber, of letters have also been received at the headquarters of the .Metropolitan Musical Society, in the Mills building expressing the hope that; the organization.will con tinue, In view of so much sympathy it is by no means improbable that active musi cal work will be begun in the autumn .by the Metropolitan Musical Society. - It does not stand pledged to any particular musi cian, but its aim is to encourage good mu sic, either symphony or opera. Baldwin Theater. Daniel Froh man's Lyceum Theater Com pany of New York will open at the Bald win Theater on Monday, July 15, for a limited engagement. Many of the former favorites are still members of the com pany. .Three plays, "The. Case of Rebel lious Susan," "The Amazons" and > "An Ideal Husband," all of which have proved successful elsewhere, will be „ produced during the engagement. Daniel Frohman will be with the company. y ,;y p VVyW -■•;■■' Prom the Platform to the Stage. Miss Helen Kelleher, a talented young San Frcnciscaii, and one of the best and most popular of our dramatic readers, has decided to forsake the reading platform for the stage. Miss Kelleher is well known as a reader in San Francisco and throughout the country, and this turning point in her career will be watched with friendly inter est by her many friends. She will make her debut in the Frawley Dramatic Com pany, now playing at the Columbia Thea ter, July 1, in the part of Mabel Dennan in "The Senator." yyVV: A Journey to Tiiiibuc too. M. Felix Dubois, who was sent to Tim buctoo by the Figaro, has returned to Paris, and publishes an interesting article in that journal. He says in the Soudan the wild beasts form an infinitesimals small portion of the animals of the coun try. The traveler sees herds of beautiful cattle and splendid horses and flocks of sheep. As for fever, if the European only protects himself properly from the sun, and takes quinine as a preventative medi cine, he has not much to fear. The traveler from Senegal to Timbuc too begins by taking the train from Dakar to St. Louis. To proceed thence to "the Soudan the traveler takes the steamer, fur nished with all modern improvements, on board which the living is good. The voy age to Kayes . lasts about eight days. From Kayes, the capital of the Sou dan, the traveler again takes the train and crosses the country, which often reminds him. of the forest of Fontaine bleau. At length ,he reaches the Niger,' where the,- traveler embarks on board a great lighter-barge propelled by oars. Dienne is the commencement of the marvelous region. of lakes and luxurious prairies with imposing herds of wild cattle. At length the sandy downs behind which Timbuctoo is sheltered appear. "Lying like a sphinx at the 'gate of the desert, Timbuctoo realizes all that her great rep utation promises." During a stay of several weeks his interest was kept . constantly on the alert, and went on increasing. - Tim buctoo is the great city of the desert, < the Queen of the Sanas, which sweep up against its walls and' invade its squares and streets. It has from 7000 to 8000 in habitants. There is not a vestige of a monumental building, nothing but big houses built of mud and straw or. wood. The population consists of negroes j with the blood of all the races of ' Northern and Central Africa | in": their veins. Such ele ments, which appear -modest and -at first disconcert the visitor, do not prevent the commerce of the city amounting to millions of francs a year. M. Dubois prophesies that the western valley of the Niger will,* at a comparatively early date, become one of the finest of" the' French possessions, if its destinies are confided to men who know. the country. A Case In Natural History. Many years ago Noah Webster classified a hsn as ah oviparous, vertebrate animal, breathing by means >of gills or branches, and living mostly in ' the 'water. Now comes* another Webster— surnarned Loner —who keeps a stall in the city market and who declares by his acta that a fish is either a fruit or a vegetable." •'/;'. Because of ; this peculiar .;• entomological classification the new Webster is in trouble. The 'Ashmen', at ' the": city. market are after him and the city may cancel his lease. ' »' Some time ago Loper secured from W. N. '.! Irwin' a' lease ' on v stall *- 46,* city market.- The lease gave him permission ■to deal in fruit, and vegetables. He sold fresh fish,, too, along with bananas and potatoes, and' now" the fishmen ; want " the city finance committee to declare that a fish is neither a fruit nor a vegetable," and that Mr. Loper. is deceiving ' the % public by i selling it ;as either.' *.'■•* . _-;.._ ..'."*-•.. " *-'**•- . .There is a strong probability that Web ster . Loper .-; may have his lease canceled. Kansas City Star., y. LEE'S OFFENSE TRIABLE The Supreme Court Decides Against Him and , Houston. ■'".■■ - ■ • '" - ■ • J \. .. I INTERFERED IN THE CANVASS. UyyyyVV.Vi.ry- ■■ V^ryy *. They Were Amenable for Acting as Election Officers Without Being Sworn. The Supreme Court has reversed the de cision of Judge Bahrs in sustaining the demurrer •to the indictments against George F. Lee and Albert Houston, and in so doing has decided that the charge brought against the two men is based on a triable offense. The men were accused of wijlfully and feloniously interfering with an election by acting — Lee as clerk and Houston as an inspector without '.being sworn into office and without being ap pointed. Judge Bahrs sustained a demur rer to the indictment, which alleged that the offense charged was no legal offense, and therefore that the indictments were insufficient. He recommended in his de cision that the case be submitted to another Grand Jury. "•"-"''.' r " ■"In the Supreme Court respondent, Lee, moved to dismiss the appeal on the ground that , the matter having been ordered submitted to another Grand Jury, tne right of the people to appeal was thereby cut off. The court considered this matter: first and denied the motion, hold ing that the right of the people to appeal cannot be; lost by an order of the court, made of its own volition, directing a sub mission of ' the case to a new Grand Jury, for the' right of the people to appeal is guaranteed by the code, and it is an im portant right. The District Attorney, the court holds, has the right to stand upon the sufficiency of an indictment, and to have the matter decided in the appellate court, otherwise it would be compelled to come into court again with the same form of indictment,- which would again be over thrown, and in consequence the defendant would never be tried; and the people, with the right of appeal secured to them, would never be able to ! have the Supreme Court pass upon a pleading believed by them to be sufficient. • ..*.■'•.. ... ...... ■-._'. The . opinion then deals with the main question.' The indictment • charged: that George Lee willfully.unlawfully and feloni ously interfered with, the regular election' officers by ; willfully and unlawfully acting as a clerk in tallying the votes cast,' he at the time not being an officer of the election board, either appointed or qualified, and that by his action he prevented a fair can vass." of the .votes.. The defendant de murred to this eh ante, on the ground that what was stated did hot constituted public offense.' *■..*""■• -- •.'*'<*> The specific act charged, the court, noted, was one not specifically described. as for bidden in the statutes^ so that, if it be a crime at all it becomes so because it is an act which in some way interferes with the officers so as to prevent "such election or canvass from being fairly had and lawfully conducted.". *y. The mere. fact that the actual act is not prohibited, the court holds, does not. ren der its commission less a crime than if it belonged to a class made penal by the statute. It is too much to expect that the statutes shall contain each possible in fringement of the law, and the Legislature has not attempted to do so. . It would be impossible to enumerate the* ways and means which the : ingenuity of man might devise to defeat the orderly or law ful conduct of an election. The Legisla ture has, without undertaking the "task, seen tit to make offenses of them all. It is merely for the court to say whether or not the act charged comes within the class. In conclusion the opinion states: "Of the sufficiency of the act complained of in the case at bar we entertain no doubt. The law guarantees not only the orderly but the legal conduct of elections. An elec tion legally conducted is carried on by officers duly appointed and under oath for the proper performance of their duties. One who willfully and ■• feloniously usurps the functions of an elective officer, whether he does so by force or 'guile, is in either case interfering with the-'legal conduct of that election, and is amenable to the law for his conduct." . The case of Albert Houston, one exactly similar in every sense, except that where Lee was charged with unlawfully acting as clerk, Houston is accused of unlawfully acting as inspector, was decided in a simi lar manner and for the same reasons as set forth in the Lee case. . ** ' : ; Owen Meredith rested his fame on "Lu cile,'.'.". hut could .: never - - be induced to contradict;, the charges of plagiarism that were,, made . .in connection with it. "What's the use?" he said. "If Ideny them people will believe there is something in them. If I say nothing at all the book will be read and the charges ignored or for gotten.",*: lie was proud of the poem, and in the circle of his intimate friends often quoted passages from it and described the circumstances .under .which" these lines were written. * '*.. ■.■*'■.* •" V • * •>- SHORT TALKS!
