Is In the Republican party," was the
declaration of Attorney T. M. Blew
art at yeiti rday's meeting of the Los i

Westlake Chapter Eastern
Star Gives Annual Ball
l 2 nlSlnm H
MISS LILLIAN OSSING. WHO APPEARED IN SPANISH DANCES
MORE than seven hundred persons
attended the second annual ball
of Westlake chapter, MB, O. E.
S., which took place last night in the
assembly rooms, Sixteenth and Flower
streets.
An orchestra furnished music for tin
dancing, which began with a grand
march led by Mrs. Elisabeth 1.. Wheel- |
er, W. M.i and Charles McGonegal, W.
P. The sixth number on the program
was a Spanish dance by Miss Lillian
Osslng, who was attired in Spanish
costume and .lanced to the music of her
castanets. Another special feature was
a drtll by the Westlake drill corps, rep
resenting the five rays of the central j
star in the emblem with color effect.
Tables were set in the balcony for
whist, and prizes were awarded at the
close of the contest. Fruitade was
served during the evening in the al
cove to the left of the entrance.
Following is a list of the committees
whose efficient services made the even
ing a success:
lieneral committee—W. F. Adams,
chairman; Mrs. Elizabeth B. Wheeler,
Music Notes
Florence Bosard Lawrence
Esther Adaberto and Antonia Sabel
lico were the stars of the "Faust" pro
duction at the Mason last night. The
I presence of those two singers, assisted
by Giuseppe Maggi, redeemed the even
ing from what might otherwise have
been an extremely dull and uninterest
ing affair. Adaberto especially re
vealed dramatic powers which have
been hitherto undreamed of, and her
powerful work in the garden scene
served to bring the curtain down with
a storm of plaudits which belonged to
her alone, for Maurlni as Faust \vn.s
but indifferent support to her in thi3
act or throughout the opera. She not
only sang- the balcony song with
superb artistry but she enacted the
role of the passion-itrlcken girl with
fervor and conviction.
Her first appearance is scarcely the
picture of an ideal Marguerite, for
even the blonde braids and blue dress
do not disguise the rich dusky beauty
of this arti-t.
In physique, too, she lacks that
sylphllke wlllownesa which is the at
tribute of the youthful Marguerite, but
when her dramatic power has evinced
itself these details are completely lost
to view.
The coy Innocerce of the first appear
ance was well simulated and in the
later scenes the singer used her beau
tiful voice as a wand with which to
sway the audience to her every mood.
In the simulation of madness Madame
Adaberto was particularly effective,
managing th« scene with fine repres
sion and giving it a simple tenseness
which was an admirable relief from the
wild abandon with which some widely
noted prima donnas have lorn the
scene to tatterse. The role of Mephis
topheles may be made that of a cyni
cal derisive person bored with the as
sumed goodness of the world and de
lighting in any opportunity to make
men and women cast off their masks
and reveal themselves in their true
colors, or it may be made crafty and
cruel. In the latter ca*e Ma Binder
Highness is apt to enjoy making
trouble for those about him with the
absolute knowledge that his work is to
be followed by suffering and agony un
told upon the part of his victims.
Sr. Sabellieo gave his choice to the
latter phase of the situation last night,
and never for one moment lost sight of
the fact that later, after these hours of
pleasure were over, Faust was to be
long to him utterly. Much as one must
admire the magnificent acting and
vocal powers of this artist, it is re
grettable that he made this side of the
character so obvious. It is pardonable
occasionally to make mischief if one is
entertained and amused thereby, but
to do it with pimple malice makes the
onlooker unsympathetic in the ex
treme and inclined to cavil at each new
indication of this fact.
Vocally, the part was excellently
treated and encores were demanded
and frequently granted throughout the
evening.
Maggl as Valentine repeated to a
large degree his earlier vocal triumphs
here, although the part does not offer
so wide a field for his endeavors and
musically Is slightly less admirable for
him.
Other characters were sung by Mme.
A. Bugamelli, Mme. A. Gianl and Pom
peo Elena, all of whom were adequate
in the characters assumed.
The concerted numbers were beauti
fully given, and it Is doubtful whether
the trio In the last act has ever been
better sung on a local stage.
The orchestra under Ouerrieri's baton
was again distinguished for its admir
able work, and in the ballet music es
pecially delighted all those hearers
who have found it so enjoyable a part
of this operatic season.
A large audience greeted the singers,
and what the house lacked in the way
of brilliance was made up in the sin
cerity of the listeners and the discrimi
nation with Which applause was be
stowed.

will be sung, and tonight an all-star
cast will appenr in "Cavalleria Rusti
cana" and -TPagllaeci," concluding
an engagement which has been gen
uinely enjoyable.
The story of the two operas to be
sung tonight by the Lambnrdi com
pany is as follows:
"Cavalleria Rusticana" is a passion
ate and tragic melodrama ba^ed on a
Sicilian tale by Giovanni Versa. The
story is simple, but the music is force
ful and illustrative. This opera will be
the offering of the Lambard! Grand
Opera company at the Mason.
Turiddo, home from the army ser
vice, finds that his sweetheart, Lola,
has married Alfio. a carter, and for
consolation he marries Santuzza. He
f her and inspires a passion in
his heart for Lola again, who, as a
natural coquette, becomes Jealous of
Alfio. She smiles upon her former
lover, and Santuzza tells Alfio of Lola's
perfidy. The carter challenges the sol
dier to a duel and kills him. This
ends the story.
"Pagliacci" is the story of a band of
wandering mountebanks and the scene
iV r.ilabrla during the Feast of the
Assumption. Tonio. the clown, is in
love with Nedda, the Columbine and
wife of Canio, master of the troupe.
He makes advances which she resents
by striking him with the whip of
Beppo, the harlequin. Nedda, how
ever, has a passion for Silvio, a peas
ant, and Tonio, hearing them plan to
elope, informs Canio, who seeks Silvio,
but the latter flees. When the time
for the play comes it turns into a
tragedy, for the presence of Silvio in
the audience causes Canio to rush
upon Nedda and stab her, :rJ. ur- ■'!!
vio conies to her rescue he is killed
with the same dagger. Then Canio
turns to the audience and says, "The
comedy is finished."
In the cast for "Paeliacci," or "I
Pagliacci," as it is ofttimes called, the
following artists will appear: Marina
Calvl, Angelo Antola, Alessnndro
Scalabrlni, A. Giana, A. Bugamelli.
AUTO TOURISTS MAY BE
LOST IN DESERT STORM
Unless Tidings of Them Are Received
Today Searching Party Will
Start Out
W. H. Hansen and a party in a
large touring car, who are making a
cross continent tour, leaving Boston
some time ago for Los Angeles by way
of New Orleans and the desert route
through New Mexico and Arizona, are
believed to be lost on the desert out
of Ehrenburg, on the Colorado river,
according to a report received at The
Herald office last evening.
The party left Phoenix last Tuesday
for Los Angeles and passed thro 'gh
Mecca Thursday night. As the section
of the desert through which they must
pass was visited by the worst sand
storm in many years yesterday, and
as no report has been received from
the party, it is supposed that they
may have lost their way, which is
easily probable because of the drift
ing sand obliterating the road. Should
no news of the party be 'heard today,
a searching party will be organized.
DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES
ENTERTAINED AT SMOKER

cratic committeemen of Los Angelea

proved.

Fads for Weak Women
Nine-tenths of all the sickness of women is due to some derangement or dis
ease of the organs distinctly feminine. Such sickness can be cured—is cured
every day by
Dr. Pierces Favorite Prescription
It Makes Weak Women Strong,
Sick Women Well.
It acts directly on the organs affected and is at the same time a general restora
tive tonic for the whole system. It cures female complaint right in the privacy
of home. It makes unnecessary the disagreeable questioning, examinations and
local treatment so universally insisted upon by doctors, and so abhorrent to
every modest woman. ' jm±

FRANCISCAN FATHERS TO
GUARD PASSION PLAY
Offers of All Kinds Received by Order,
and Some That Are Very Allur
ing Have Been Rejected
Although half a dozen of the great
est theatrical managers in America
have made offers, some of which are
almost fabulous to contemplate, the
Passion Play, which will be produced
at the Auditorium theater the week
beginning March 14, will not be al
lowed to fall into any trust or syndi
cate, but will remain in direct charge
of the Franciscan fathers.
William Stoerrner, general director
of the Passion Play for the fathers, Is
authority for the statement that the
great drama will not be allowed to
fall into the hands of any persons who
will commercialize it in any manner.
Klaw & Krlanger, the Shuberts and
others as prominent in the theatrical
world have made offers for the play,
but each of the offers has been Ilatly
refused. One offer was on a profit
sharing basis, the producing; managers
agreeing to shoulder all expenses and
give the Franciscan fathers 60 per
cent of the gross profits. Another offer
was on the basis of an out and out
purchase.
While George Preddey, business man
ager of the play, was in San Francisco
he was approached by a representative
of one of the theatrical magnates. The
offer made to Mr. Preddey. if he would
use his influence to secure for the man
ager exclusive rights of the play, was
a salary of $5000 a month and a bonus
of $60,000. Mr. Preddey promptly re
fused the offer.
At present there is a movement on
foot to have the Passion Play financed
by subscriptions. The plans include
the construction of a huge amphi
theater, where the play will be pre
sented in much the same manner as at
Oberammergau, and fojf largely the
same reasons.
D. L. Martin, cne of the widely
known theatrical managers, witnessed
a rehearsal of the Passion Play yes
terday. He said afterward that it ia
the greatest play the world has ever
known. "Ben Hur" and other huge pro
ductions fade into insignfleance beside
the Passion Play, he said. He will
leave shortly for the northwest, and
in order to witness the Los Angele.i
production, will make a jump from
Seattle.
After the performances are given in
Los Angeles the Passion Play will be
taken for a tour of the large cites.
Arrangements are now being made
with the theater syndicate so as to
allow performances to be given in the
largest and best houses in each city.
If the syndicate refuses to grant per
mission except on conditon control of
the drama be taken from the Francis
can fathers, amphitheaters will be
built in each city in order that the
play may be presented properly.
"MADRIZ MUST FALL"
NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 25.—Brig. Gen.
Gabriel Conrad of the provisional army
of Nicaragua arrived at New Orleans
today from Bluefields. He will remain
at his home in New Iberia, La., until
his wounds heal, when he expects to
return to Nicaragua.
"It Is only a matter of fifteen days—
possibly three weeks—with the Madrlz
government," declares Conrad. "It
