TWO PLAYS BY
LOCAL AUTHORS,

LAUGHTER AND THRILLS
William Greer Harrison's Half
Hour of Concentrated
Agony.

Two new plays were produced by the
Columbia School of Dramatic Art yester

concentrated agony which it is becoming |

the fashion to serve ut> to the audience by I
way of an appetizer before the solid fare i
of the evening begins, ana the other was '
a sparkling little comedy which described |
the attempts at matrimony committed by j
the three Miss Biddies.
William Greer Harrison wrote the half- ;
hour of concentrated agony especially for
the Columbia School. It described one of
those episodes which in plays and novels
occur in men's lives and make their hair
go gray prematurely and the shadow of
mysterious melancholy settle down on
them forever. The play was named "Ex- j
piation." It was French, very French — I
in fact, it was so French that parents and
guardians sitting in the theater some
times clutched the elbows of their arm
chairs tightly and held their breath in
.terrified, suspense for fear what was com- !
ing was — well, wns just a little too French j
for the young people of the school.
Their" alarm was without foundation j
however. William Greer Harrison had ;
skated over tnin ice occasionally, but he;
had done it so skillfully that there was no !
cause for trembling or even for a passing .
qualm. "Expiation" tells how Marie, a j
French orphan, was beloved by Henri Dv |
Foise, the son of a French land owner. In
stead of rejoicing at the presence of cupid !
in his family, the landowner what Dick- i
ens in one of his novels describes as '
"flops" to his son, to abjure him to re- j
frain.
Henri refuses to refrain, whereupon a ;
village priest, who possesses the paternal j
name of Father Pere, reveals the prewsome i
Btory. Years before Marie' 3 father had j
loved Mane's mother maaly, passionately, :
selfishly. Matters came to such a pass j
that it was necessary for Henri's father to j
kill Marie'a father. The villain had caused
him to be defeated as- a conscript, which
shows that he was very young, but he re- j
turned from the war alone at nighi and j
does the deed.
This awful story moves Henri to de- ,
spair. He hears a drum and life band \
without, and bidding a hasty and last fare- ;
well to Marie and his faUier, he rushes off. ;
in evening dress, like the heroes of Water- j
100, to die for iais country, while Marie
falls on her knees and promises to be a !
daughter to her father's slayer.
The play was cleverly acted by James j
Keane, who, as the avenger, erred only by
too faithful a reproduction of Henry Irv- ,
ing's mannerisms, by Thomas Hickey as
Henri, E. Lestrado, who was dignified and
convincing as the Father Pere, and by, Miss
Minna Terry as Marie
••The Three Miss Biddies is a work of
so much promise that it is safe to augur .i
very bright future as a playwright for chat
clever younc native daughter, Miss Alice
Yates Grant. An eccentric uncle has died,
leaving untold piiver to any or each of
the three Miss Biddies who shall marry
a man whose name begins with "R. Ibe
unurinc complications Miring from this
situation and the appearance of a Reginald
Ronald iialston on the scene are most
amuMnely portrayed. The young play
wright has worked up her point splen
didly; she makes enough of her comedy
situations, but never works them to death.
Ail the performers in this cast were good ;
the" were: R. W. Travers, Miss Helen
Hißby, Mibs Florence K. Minot and Miss
Nettie Hynes. .
"Sunset," by Jerome K. Jerome, was
pleasingly acted by R. W. Travers, George
Godfrey. O. Humphries, Miss May Cap
well, Miss Gracie Gray and Mips Cecelia
Harmon. George Godfrey and Miss Gray
especially distinguisned themselves,
though all the acting was excellent.
The dancing was the weakest feature of
the performance, not that the young
people did not show grace, but the char
acter of the dances had not been pre
served. Every one who has read the good
old novels of the last century remembers
that the Pamelas and the Clarissas of the
period were always invited by their beaux
to "walk" a minuet. The idoa of pranc
ing with uplifted feet through its stately
measures would have shocked their sensi
tive souls. „
On the part of the pupils yesterday a
light, springy step was adopted, which
looked |like an incipient desire to do some
high kicking. It was a very pretty dance,
but it was not the minuet de la cour.
In the Spanish bolero the modern art of
high kicking also obtruded itself, to the
destruction of the real character of the
dance. Spanish dancers wear skirts almost
ro the ankles, and instead of dancing
entirely with the feet, their grace comes
from the swaying rhythmic movement of
the whole body. The dance was pretty,
but it was :iot*a bolero.
A clever performance was given by little
Juliet, who danced with a mask at the
back of her head.
Miss May Warring gave a clever ex
hibition of fencing with Professor Emil
Tortoni.
LILLIAN CROOME DIVORCED.
Judge Troutt Decided That the Dentist
"Was Extremely Cruel.
Judge Troutt yesterday granted a
divorce to Lillian Croome on the ground
of extreme cruelly. Mrs. Croome was the
wife of Dr. William Croome, the dentist.
The plaintiff is a sister of Dr. Decker,
another dentist.
The case was heard in chambers by
Judge Troutt, the principal allegation
being that Croome beat his wife with a
hairbrush and called ncr vile names.
The plaintiff was allowed $40 a month
alimony and $150 counsel fees.
Judge Troutt also divorced Domenicco
Curcia from Antonia Curcia on the ground
of willful desertion.

SPYKE MISSED THE "GO"
The Dutch Traveler Who Hadn't
Heard of Corbett Fell
Asleep.
______________
Rises Early, Posts Himself on All the
Fistic News and Takes in a
Einetoscope.
H. Y. Spyke, the traveler from Holland
who had never heard of Corbett, did not
see the fight after all, as he fell asleep at
the California from the fatigue of his
journey, the last day of which necessi
tated a start at 4 o'clock a. m.
He was up early enough yesterday morn
ing, however, and had so far posted him- j
self on fistic contests and the engagement j
of the previous night that in the afternoon j
he was discussing the possibility of Cor
bett's appearing in Oakland before start
ing eastward for the purpose of meeting
Fitzsimmons in England.
"Do you think there will be another
light in the next few weeks?" was bis first
query. "If there is one I will stay for it. j
"After 1 read the papers this morning I j
went to see in a kinetoscope a fight. Oh, :
it was very fine. I saw Corbett hit a man j
so fast and then he knocked him down.
"I saw some men driving horses all with j
sicrns, 'The Races, Ingleside.' Where is
that? I want to see that."
Out came a notebook and on a page ;
where he nad already written "Cliff j
House," "Burlingame," he jotted down
directions to Ingleside.
"And can you tell me what is this
•Lucky Baldwin, the God of Love?' 1 !
want to see that, too. Oh, I thought it ;
was a great piece of statuary, may be, in
your park.
"I am just now writing to my brother in
Amsterdam all about what I have seen.
I tola him that this Golden Gate in the '
land of gold is no more golden than the I
Red Sea is red and just some ugly bluff of j
earth.
"The editor of the Telegraph, the big- j
gest paper in Holland, takes the letters j
from my brother and publishes what '
things he wishes from them. The papers I
in my country have not so many pages as !
yours, nor have they so large circulation, j
for in Holland there are only 4,500,000 |
people, though Amsterdam is larger than j
San Franci?co. It has 500,000 Deople.
"1 wrote to my brother that the women
on this side are very much prettier than
on the other side. The women in New
York, ngh, they are not beautiful.
"In my guidebook to America which I
bought in Germany it aays: 'Palo Alto—
where there is a great university, but more
fine horses than students.' lam going to
see every town between San Francisco and
San Jose.
"When I was reading a sign the other
day where it said 'Our Next President 1
and a big crowd was there a man took me
by the shoulders behind, shook me. hit
nic on the shoulder and said 'What's the
matter with McKinley?'
"I don't like that anymore than the
American that came to Holland and could
not sleep because the clock chimes rane

Want* III* Child
A petition has been filed in the Superior
Court by Melville C. Baker, asking for the cus
tody of his daughter, Grace E. Baker. He aI.
leges that his former wife, from whom he was
divorced in 1888, is cruel to the child. At the
time of the divorce, the custody of the girl
was awarded to Mrs. Baker. Grace is now 14
years of age.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, JUNE 26, 1896.
TO BETTER THE
SCHOOL LAWS,
Pertinent Recommendations
of the Rules Com
mittee.
TARDY TEACHERS FINED
Janitors in Future Will Have
to Weigh All the School
Coal.
HOISTING THE NATIONAL FLAG
Increased Patriotic Observances— New
Sanitary Laws, More Holi
days, Etc.
The rules and regulations governing the
public schools of San Francisco are just
now being amended and revised to con
form to the ideas of the School Directors,
each succeeding set of whom is presumed
to be wiser than any of its predecessors.
Recently th? Board of Education, realiz
ing the necessity of asserting its individu
ality of authority, authorized the appoint
ment by Superintendent Babcock of a
committee of principals, consisting of
Frank Morton of the Lowell High School,
Joseph O'Connor of the Horace Mann
Grammar, Emma E. Stincen of the Whit
tier Primary and Miss P. H. Nolan of the
Washington Evening, to mane such sug
gestions as were deemed desirable to the
better government of the schools.
After mature deliberation the Rules
Committee, consisting of T. R. Knox
(chairman), A. Comte Jr. and H. C. Hen
derson, has agreed upon a number of
changes which will be finally decided in a
committee of the whole.
The dates of the opening and the closing
of the school terms have been changed,
tardy teachers are held to a stricter ac
countability, patriotic observances are ex
tended and emphasized, and janitors are
required to keep check on the coal con
tractors. The new rules comprise the fol
lowing provisions:
The first term of the public schools shall be
gin on the first Monday of August, and end on
the Friday next preceding Christmas. The
second term shall begin on the Monday follow
ing the first day of January, and end on the
third Friday of June.
State Labor day is added to the list of school
holidays.
If a teacher shall fail to be at bis or her post
of duty at the appointed hour three times in
any one calendar month the principal shall re
port such tardiness to the committee on rules,
and if tliereafter the same teacher is similarly
tardy, he or she shall forfeit half a day's sal
ary.
Teachers are strictly forbidden to require J
their pupils to perform any menial service or !
to send them on private or personal errands i
during school hours.
The power to transfer pupils from one school
to another, when good reasons exist for so
doing, is taken from the Classification Com
mittee and vested in the Superintendents.
Any High School student may so arrange his
or her studies, under the direction of the prin
cipal, as to complete the regular course In four
or more years.
Physicians' certificates of vaccination, etc. ,
.given to pupils, must be countersigned by the
1 Health Officer before they can be received in
the schools.
Janitors shall weigh all coal received at the
schools and shall report thereon to the princi
pals. Certificates of these weights shall be
signed by the principals and sent by them to
the Secretary of the Board of Education, who
shall make a record of the same and then send
them to the committee on supplies.
Janitors shall raise the American flag on
school-houses on the first and last school day
of the school year and on the last school day
before and the first school day after each vaca
tion ; during public exercises, on Washing
ton's birthday, Bunker Hill day, the Fourtn
of July. Admission day. Patriotic day and on
such other days as may t>e ordered by the
Board of Education, the President of the
Superintendent. The flag must be at half
mast on Memorial day, on the death of a
teacher or pupil and on such other days as
may be ordered by the board, the President or
the Superintendent.
Garnisheetl Kochctte's Money.
Jacob Raver yesterday filed in the Sheriff's
office an attachment against Charles Rochette's
money for boxing at the Pavilion on the pre
vious night. The story goes that Rochette got
in debt $60 when trainine for a previous fight,
and his creditors sprung the garnishee on the
night of the fijjht at the Pavilion. An answer
was filed that the claim had been transferred.
Want* Sutro's Wood.
E. A. Reddy, superintendent of the Alms
house, asks permission of the Board of Super
visors to contract with AdolphSutro for 100
cords of wood at $5 per cord. The superin
tendent sets forth that the wood is accessible,
well suited for the bakery, that the price is
low and the cost of hauling much less than it
would cost to haul it from the City.

Rescued a Chinese Girl.
Miss Susie Williams has asked to be ap
pointed guardian of Ah Sui, a little Chinese
?;irl, who was rescued from a house of ill
ame by the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children. General McComb was her
guardian, and at his death the parents of the
child made an effort to get possession of her.
A writ of habeas corpus was Issued by Judge
Troutt, but the matter is now in Judge Slack's
bands.
DETERMINED TO DIE.
Joseph Brady Jumps Into the Bay, bat
Is Bescned.
Joseph Brady, an old man without a
home, jumped into the bay from Clay
street wharf yesterday afternoon. He was
rescued and taken to the Eeceiving Hos
pital.
"I was despondent," said Brady, "and I
want to end my life, as 1 have nothing to
live for. I was once foreman of the Pio
neer Woolen Mill?, but for some years I
have been trying to earn a living by ped
dling.
"My two boys died eight years ago on
the same day from drohtneria and I am
always dreaming about them. I heard
them calling to me from the bay,, but
when I jumped into the water they were
not there. I want to get to them and what
is the use of always dragging me out of
the water."
About two months ago Brady tried to
drown himself in toe bay. He says the
next time he will do it when no one is
around. _
A CHINESE BURGLAR.
Tom Tee, Alias American Jim, Sent to
the County Jail.
Tom Yee, aiias American Jim, was sent
to the County Jail for six months by
Judge Conlan yesterday on the charge of
keeping an opium resort on Sacramento
street.
American Jim is the oldest and best
known Chinese burglar on the Pacific
Coast. For the past thirty-six years he
has been sent to the penitentiary seven
times for burglary.
He is now over CO years of age and a
physical wreck. After he has been in the
County Jail for a short time efforts will be
made to have him deported.
FREUD AND THE LADIES,
The Secretary of the Merchants'
Association Defends the
Charter.
Points Out Some Erroneous Impres
sions of the American Woman's
Liberal League.
Secretary Freud of the Merchants' Asso
ciation is not disposed to permit any at
tack on the proposed new charter to go
unchallenged. This is his reply to the op
position to tne instrument manifested by
the American Woman's Liberal League:
To the Editor of the Call— Dear Sir: In your
issue of this inoriii ng appeared certain resolu
tions passed by the American Woman's Liheral
League in opposition to the charter. Without
intending to discourage these ladies in their
commendable enthusiasm in the public wel
fare, justice to the charter and its iramers
makes it Droper and necessary to correct them
in their erroneous conclusions.
Keterring to the clause in the charter re
quiring teachers in the primary and grammar
classes ol our public schools to be educated in
the school system of the State, the ladies seem
to lose sight of the fact that this clause can
refer only to teachers to be engaged hereafter,
not to those who are now in the department;
and if the application of this principle of
patronizing as it were home production is not
found a desirable feature of the charter it
can, of course, be amended accordingly.
These ladies are also greatly surprised not to
find anything In the charter governing the
eleclion'of the Mayor and certain other offi
cials as well as amendment of the charter. If
they will kindly turn to the constitution of
California and the general laws of the State
beating upon cities and counties they will find
ample provision for these very matters. It
would be idle and superfluous for the charter
to repeat provisions already clearly declared
in the constitution and general laws of the
State.
The resolutions rlso state that there are no
provisions in the charter "along the lines laid
down by modern sociology." Not being en
tirely ct-rb-.m ns to the exact meaning of this
! declaration, I must forego the privilege of
j innking any attempt at the solution of the
I conunurum.
In conclusion, it certainly must occur to the
i average citizen that the charter is an excel
lent document when it js considered that the
objections so far raised against it are so weak
ami baseless. The friends of the charter only
ns_ the citizens of San Francisco to read and
consider its provisions. While it is by no
means perfect, it certainly is infinitely su
perior to the present laws governing the City.
Kespectiully yours, J. Richd Freud.
DISCUSSED THE FUNDS,

Fourth Says How Much
to Spend.
The Competitive Patriotic Poetical
Productions Now Range in the

The ten parlors will participate in the
parade.
Grand Marshal Umbsen moved that an
appropriation not to exceed $300 be made

Liberty and the other for the personage
representing the State of California. This
was passed.
The literary committee reported that it
had struggled through 120 poetical selec
tions sent in as competitive productions
for me one patriotic pueni. Of these the
committee selected a number of the best
for critical examination.
It was decided to invite a minister to
deliver the opening prayer at the exercises
in the Pavilion and to invoke the benedic
tion.
The parade committee submitted the
following resolution:
Whereas, The ex-Union Veterans have,
through their organization, accepted an invi
tation to parade on July Fourth; therefore,
be it
Jienolvcd, By the ex-Union Veterans on the
parade committee that the grand marshal
issue an invitation through the press asking
all ex-Union veterans not attached to any or
ganization, and all ex-Confederate veterans to

Hanson, J. H. Garrett, Captain L. J. Kearney,
Captain John Tuttle.
The invitation and reception committee
reported that Manager Vining bad allowed
free transportation to orphans to Golden
Gate Park. Donations have been prom
ised from the .Baldwin and California Ho
tels of 500 sandwiches each, and from Mr.
Wiseman of 200 and Mr. Marsden 250
doughnuts. J
