The "cotton-tail" deer at the Chutes
has changed its habits and tempera
ment since November 23 of last year,
according to the declarations of Jo
seph F. Gillin. who on the date men
tioned was nipht watchman at the re
sort. The deer Jumped from its pen
and assaulted him viciously, according
to a complaint which Gillln filed yes
terday in the Superior Court.
In its sport the cotton-tail found
satisfaction in breaking the watch
man's arm and bruising his hand and
wrist, the injuries incapacitating him
from the performance of manual la
bor.
Gillin says that the railing which
confined, the deer was only three feet
nine inches high, whereas to keep it
from doing battle in the zoo the fence
should have been five feet six inches in
the clear. He contends that the
Chutes Company is responsible for the
low railing and therefore should pay
him for the damage he suffered in
conflict with the pet.

for divorce from Ward S. Bartlett on
the grounds of intemperance, neglect
and cruelty. They were married in
Honolulu on December 17 'of last year
and the bride Is a resident of San
Francisco. Besides his , liking for
liqquor, Mrs. Bartlett alleges that her
husband was abusive and accused her

to their home and after their depart
ure he accused her of undue fami
liarity with them.
Mrs. M. E. Leffingwell yesterday

Campbell and Johnson, the comedi
ans of the Zarrow trio of bicyclists
who recently made such a hit at the
Orpheum, were new at the Chutes yes
terday and kept the audiences in un
bounded hilarity at both performances.
Charles P. Lowe, the xylophone virtu
oso, v and Edna Grant, a petite and
pretty character dancer, were also new
and scored successes, and James T.
Dervin, a mimic and ventriloquist, re
appeared after a long absence with a
specialty that took, immensely. Mabel

has just returned after a successful
Eastern tour, was warmly welcomed in
her illustrated songs, and John J. Sully

Rice and Cady clung to their German
make-up and presented a lot of new
nonsense, and Bobby North abandoned
his Hebraic disguise and made a hit
singing cocm songs and burlesquing a
burlesque star. Dorothy Morton had a
cold, but her voice was good enough to
compel recalls of every number she
sang. Nora Bays relinquished her
Teutonic character and gave some
clever vocal imitations, her singing of
"Down Where the Wurtzburger Flows"
bringing more encores than she had
verses to respond with. There was a'
great deal of Edwin Clark in varied
character, and Ben Dillon also showed
versatility.
That the new Flscherites have al
ready established themselves as prime
favorites was exemplified by the rous
ing reception that greeted each initial
entrance of a principal. The floral
tributes were numerous and costly and
the usual first-night oratory was hap
pily omitted.
To the invisible gentleman who
stages the productions of Fischer's
Theater is due very much of the suc
cess achieved last evening by "The
Whirl of the Town." He has accom
plished wonders with his comparative
ly limited facilities. Scenically, the
piece is the most pretentious ever put
forth in the O'Farrell-street home of
burlesque, and in that respect, as well
an several others, its attractiveness
will be enhanced by the pruning that
Is essential to having the final curtain
descend at a reasonable time. The

the reappearance of Flossie Hope, who
showed much improvement since she
twinkled her toes on the same stage

At last night's meeting, which was

upon to read the report of the com

At the conclusion of the business of

Kirke La Shelle's new and fasci
nating heroic drama,"Sergeant James,"
was seen for the first time in San Fran
cisco last night at the Central Theater,
and thrilled and delighted a big house.
The scenery and scenic effects are
elaborate, embracing a cavalry camp,
with troopers, horses and accoutre
ments, and a wildly picturesque view
of the rugged mining regions of Mon
tana. The sensational climax of the
third act has powerful dramatic in
tensity, and it stirred the audience to
tremendous enthusiasm, which brought
numerous curtain calls. Juliet Crosby,
specially engaged for this week at the
Central, was charmiing as the heroine,
and received frequent and flattering ap
plause and floral testimonials. Her
schel Mayall, in the title role, gave an
able, manly and convincing imper

FOR PRIMARY
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 1. — After a
consultation with Acting Governor
Alden Anderson. State Horticultural
Commissioner Ellwood Cooper to-day
announced the appointment 6f Edward
Ehrhorn of Mountain View, Santa
Clara County, to succeed Alexander
Craw as quarantine inspector at San
Francisco.
A number of candidates had been
announced for the position, which pays
$200 a month, but Ehrhorn was chosen
because he was regarded as being pe
culiarly fitted to perform the duties of
the office. He is at present the Horti
cultural Commissioner of Santa Clara
County and was highly recommended
to the position by the fruit growers of
the Santa Clara Valley.
He is a noted entomologist and has
for some time assisted Craw in his
work at San Francisco. Ehrhorn will
assume his new position in a few days.
as Craw will leave about the middle of
the month to fill a position* in the Ha
waiian Islands similar to the one he
leaves here.

of the actress and of the audiences
that will see her in her new position
henceforth. Not the most happy se
lection in the world for a debut is
"The Lady of Lyons," with its stilted
romance, its high-sounding dialogue
and old-time multiplicity of acts and
scenes; yet under this disadvantage the
company acquitted itself creditably.
White Whittlesey found the ultra he

sion after the devil-may-care Rudolph
Rassendyll of the two weeks passed,
yet not altogether without compensa

dead and gone romance of Bulwer-

Expert Cyril Williams filed with the
Supervisors' Finance Committee his
report on the cost of horseshoeing in
the Fire .Department. After present
ing a mass of figures, he says that the
city itself can. do the work for less
than the contract just let to Edward
Graney at $2 50 per horse. During the
fiscal year ending June 30 Williams as
certains the cost of horseshoeing was
$5SSS 47, and he figures that the cost
at the contract rate would have been
SC604 50. From 1893 to 1900, at the con
tract rate of $2 50, the expert finds the
cost to be for each horse $2S 08 per an
num. For the year 1900-01 the contract
rate was reduced to $2, and the cost
l>er annum was $19 37. For 1903-04,
when the city shod the horses, the cost
was $19 43.
The Finance Committee receded from
its determination to subpena the Fire
Commissioners to explain their action
in awarding the horseshoeing contract
at an alleged higher rate and also to
explain the increased cost of the Fire
Department stables. No subpenaes
were issued and none of the Commis
sioners were present.
Another proposed amendment to the
charter, providing that the Tax Col
lector shall not have the right to ap
point an attorney to conduct the liti
gation of his oftlce. which shall become
part of the duties of the City Attorney,
was referred to the City Attorney for
an official opinion.
J. P. Martin, manager of the Sharon
estate, informed the Finance Commit
tee that in two weeks he would have
installed on all the estate's sidewalk
elevators a Safety device which his en
gineer is perfecting. Martin filed a
petition to amend the ordinance with
regard to the locking of the elevator
doors from the sidewalk. This was re
ferred to the Fire Committee.
"Inasmuch as the Board of Super
visors now makes contracts for the
Police, Health, Public Works and
Electricity departments, there appears
no substantial reason why the Super
visors should not have like powers in
respect to the Fire Department. We
are convinced that the change would
result in economy to the city and
county." i
The Board of Supervisors yesterday
adopted a resolution providing for the
submission to the electors of a pro
posed amendment to the charter de
signed to take away from the Fire
Commission the power to award con
tracts for supplies and placing that
power In, the hands of the Supervisors.
The amendment would repeal section
4. chapter 2, article IX. The report
of the Charter Amendment Committee
says:

is delightfully staged.
BLANCHE PARTINGTON.
Mejville Ellis has not much to do,
but is sufficient. His is the skill, how
ever, that has assisted -Ferris Hart
man in the splendid stage management
of the piece. Miss Carrie Reynolds
dances and dances. "What there is of
'sing" in the new soubrette is pleas
ant, but there is not much. She is
pretty, however — and dances. She
has in fact a heel of Mr. Kennedy's
virtuoso alertness. Mis3 Young is pleas
ing in a somewhat colorless fashion,
but opportunity was small, and opin
ion mav well wait.
Much cry and little wool? No, though
"The Toreador" is not another "Robin
| Hood" — that Kimberly of comic opera.
¦ And the cast is a Jeweled one. The
j Tivoli has spread stars on the piece in
I princely fashion. There is a new sou-
I brette, Carrie Reynolds; a new so
prano, Mary Young; a new leading
man, Melville Ellis; a new comedian,
; John J. Kennedy; besides "light opera's
De Reszke," John Dunsmure, with Wil
lard Sims, Teddy Webb, charming
! Kate Condon. Miss de FilliDpe, Bessie
Tannehill and other old favorites. One
gets in truth hardly enough of any, «6f
; them but Webb. There is a sniff/ of
; one, a sip of another, a crumb ofj an
other and a general wish for mo:re.
One doesn't always wish for Xnore of
"The, Toreador." Its mapfy hands
might have made shorter v.ork of the
second act, for example. There is a
band that suggests derxd cats for a
helpless moment or fwo, a Spanish
village band that we>.comes the false
toreadors. Half of If; would be twice
too much: The r^st is funny. Here
is where Ted/*iy Webb, cast as
the false toreador, runs over.
I do noV remember Mr. Webb
anywhere better cast, but . his
best e.ffort here cannot save the
scene/. Perhaps, like Chinese tea, the
hu/slor on't has lost flavor through
f uming over seas. Emphatically, how
• ever, the rest 'fas not. The comedy is
; better by a plot than most of its neigh
j bors, and on the whole is engagingly
: entertaining. There is a mild Spanish
1 flavor to the music, some lyrics that
1 stick anil a couple of excellent ensem
bles. - •
j The performance, however— well, it
i was simply another stake in the Tivoli
! comic- opera corral. I do not remember
I another given by visiting genius better
; or perhaps so good. In, say three days,
i it will be better; the snap and fit of the.
1 thing, that come only with the trying
j il upon the audience, will be there. But
¦ smoothness, style and distinction were
delightfully in evidence from the work
of the smallest maid in the chorus to
Kate Condon. The new people are pleas
ing, but not astonishing. John P. Ken
nedy sings more in Fischer than Tivoli
fashion, but he has a coloratura heel
that found every rib in the audiences In
; fact, as a comedian Mr. Kennedy has
; distinctly arrived.
Last night the Tivoli grave us the
"first production In San Francisco of
the renowned London and New York
musical comedy sensation, 'The Torea

•* Miss- Whittaker, a prominent
dub woman of Savannah, Ga.,
tells how she was entirely cured
of ovarian troubles by the use
of LydiaE. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound.
Dear Mus, Petcham: — I heartily
recommend Lydla E. Pinkhani's
Vegetable Compound as a Uterine
Toaic fi.ncT Regulator. I Buffered for
four years with irregularities and
Uterine troubles. Kb one «but those
who have experienced this dreadful
agony can form any idea of the physi-
cal and mental riisery those endure
who are thus adicted. Your Vege-
table Compound cured me within
three months. I was fully restored to
health and strength, and now my
periods are '. regiilar and painless.
What a blessing it is to be able to
obtain such a remedy when bo many
doctors fail to help you. Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
it better than any doctor or medicine
I ever had. Very truly yours, Miss
Exbt Whtctakeb, 604 39th St, W.
Sarannah, Ga." — 9&000 forfeit if original of
mbeoe letter proving genuineness cannot be produced.
The testimonials which we
are constantly publishing from
pratef ul women prove beyond a
doubt the power of Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
to conquer female diseases..
