SARAH COMSTOCK.
— t
Grand Opera-House.
The long-haired musical wonders may
shake their reverend heads .over the
merry songs which they are pleased to
call a jlngie of tones, but the public will
revtr cease to entertain a particular af
fection for operas like "Girofle-Girofia."
wherein jolly music and bright dialogue
unite in producing a pleasant entertain
ment. One thing must be put to the credit
of the Grand Opera-house, ar.d that Is the
] ains taken in the production of its plays.
There is never a hitch in th^ performance.
The mounting, costumes and chorus pre
sent always a chic appearance.
The title role of the opera, is perhaps one
of Miss Mason's foremost artistic achieve
ments. Not alone does she sing her part
with exceeding taste and clear voice, but
her appearance is very agreeable to the
most exacting eye, and her deportment
never lacks that refinement necessary for
the comic opera stage. This latter fact
was particularly demonstrated during the
"tipsy" scene, wherein so many sou
brette? are wont to overact. The change
from Girolle to Giroila in tlie last act was
a skillful piece of stage ' business, for
there was hardly any one in the audience
who noticed it. If you desire a model
piece of impersonation do not fail to see
Edith Mason this week.
Of course Persse sang well: he aiways j
does. But last night he did something ;
else: he looked well too. In fact, he has j
seldom looked handsomer since his en- 1
gagement at the Grand. There is a great J
deal in looking the part. It is half or' the '
dramatic battle won. William Wolff was |
hardly fierce enough as the ferocious j
Moor.' One could not exactly discover why .
all these people were so afraid of him.
A little more "ginger" would not do harm.
Arthur Wooley had one of his fatherly
roles which he knows so well how to han
die; especially when he counts up the vir
tues of his "better half." Winfred Goff
has riot so much to do this week, but
what Is allotted to him is executed with
much care. His few solos are rendered j
with artistic finish.
The chorus does some snappy work and j
the many pretty faces one encounters i
therein add muc.i to the finishing touches
of a performance, the smoothness oi;

Tivoli.
After several years tnella" is ,
again on the boards at the Tivoli Opera
house. The old theater-goers who were
present last night missed tlie songsters,
Helen Dingeon, Ethel Lynton. kert j
::r.d others, but the new cast did credit to |
this pretty opera. Ada Palmer Walker as
Satanella: took the part with credit and
Tom Greene (Count Rupert), the new
tenor, was in fine voice. Harry Girard as
the pirate chief. William Schuster as j
.Xrimar.es, king demon of the world, and i
Charlotte Beckwith as Stella, were also!
entertaining. Liberal applause was given ;
the old favorite, Arthur Messmer,
end Julie Cotte. who took the part of J
l.ciia. was also well received. "Satanella" |
will continue during the week, excepting i
this evening, which will be "Verdi night"
in honor of the maestro's eighty-seventh
linhday.
Alcazar.
The Alcazar stock company Is to be
congratulated on its creditable production i
cf "Jim the Penman" last night. The old j
j. lay is still of absorbing interest. Eugene
Ormonde appeared as Captain Redmond,
the detective, and his impersonation of j
the character stamped him as a versatile l
actor. There was nothing overdrawn and ;
every point was marked with distinctness
and no straining after effect. Miss Ger
trade Foster as Mrs. Ralston. the wife of
the "Penman," had evidently studied the
part carefully, and tlie result was a
finished and re-lined characterization. |
Miss He.en Henry was charming as ;
Agnes Ralston, the daughter, and Daniel j
Halifax as Jack Ralston. the .on. had a ;
congenial r;art. Charles W. King a* James
Ralston. the forger: C. F. Montalne as ;
Baron Hartfcld; Frank Denfthorne as •
J_ouls Percival and Charles Bryant as !
Lord Drelincourt played their parts well.
The piece was excellently mounted and |
the management has carried out its ;
promise to give an artistic ar.d dramatic i
presentation. j
Orpheum.
There >'s a tradition well nigh forgotten
that the Orpheum in the past had an .
"Qfl" week. This week is not one of those j
times. There Is nothing "off" about it;
It is strictly "on.". In fact, it is seldom!
that the wideawake management has sue- I
reeded '.n getting, together such a con- J
spicuous collection of stars. The best of
the new people this week are the. F>or- j
enz» family. They ore daring acrobats j
and perform the most difficult rcats in
evening dress. The young man who is
the king of the troupe astonished the
spectators by the apparent ease with
which he performed that rare feat known i
as "full twisters" when somersaulting-]
from shoulder to shoulder. - ,
La Petite Elsie is a little girl who will
develop into a beautiful woman. She Is I
as clever a* she is charming, and her iml
tations of May Irwin. Anna Held and!
other well-known actresses are unique. !

Why a Hot Wave Means Hard Labor for Oakland Officials.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call, Oct. 9. 1899.
THE hot wave was unusually cruel to Oakland. In most cities, perhaps in all
cities but Oakland, sweltering human beings relax from their labors and make
themselves as comfortable as possible. It does not have this effect in this
city, especially among those who are enjoying a living at the taxpayer's
expense, because of the lavish and unwise policy that has been substituted for
government since Oakland was a city. Under ordinary' circumstances this small
army of "officials" had nothing whatever to do, except enjoy Oakland's beau
tiful climate, smoke cigars and draw their salaries. A hot wave cannot require
them to do less, but from motives purely selfish they are forced to work and
work hard— for Oakland officials. It requires them to take off their coats,
which requires an almost superhuman effort on the part of some of the pension
ers who are rusting out In the public service. One of them was found this morn-
>ers on the programme afforded excel
ent entertainment.

LUCKLESS THIRTY-FIRST
Muster Out of the Volunteer
Signal Corps That Returned
on the Para.
The troubles of the Thirty-first were to
have ended to-day, for It was the Inten
tion to release the command from quar
antine, but the looked for freedom will
not come for a while yet, and if two cases
now under observation do not change
their symptoms It will be another two
weeks before the men may leave the isl
and.
There have been two suspicious cases ;
under observation tor some time, but lat
terly they have been developing undoubt
ed symptoms of smallpox. It Is not defi- ;
nitely known whether their symptoms are
the result of a too successful vaccina
tion or of infection from some case of :
the disease. It is known, however, that
whatever caused it, the two cases were
contracted on the island, a fact which .
makes their appearance all the more sig
nificant. To-day the surgeons will prob- I
ably know the exact nature of the dis- j
ease afflicting the two men, and should
it prove to be smallpov, however mild,
contracted from proximity to other cases,
the regiment will be held for two weeks
more.
This morning the volunteer signal corps
that came home on the Para will be mus- '
tered out. The corps is now at the re
cruit camp at the Presidio awaiting the
last call of the mustering officer and the
paymaster. "Tt numbers fifty-seven men,
under command of Captain Perkins, who i
as captain of the signal corps of the Sec
ond Brigade, N. G. ('., made a record for
efficiency In his chosen branch of the
service and for soldierly qualities second
only to the record he made while serving
as a volunteer.
The corps has done excellent service I
In the Philippines, but it Is the kind of
service that pets but little recognition.
The principal work was the establishment
and maintenance of lines of communica
tion, and in pressing forward with their
wires they were more than once out in :
front of the tiring line. Being there to I
work under tire and not to fight back, :
they received but little mention in the
dispatches over the very wires they had i
laid and were keeping in order. To their
work is due the fact that all through the
campaign commanding generals have
been able to keep in constant communi
cation with their troops, and to keep in
formed of the smallest happenings as far
out as the outposts. During the opera- •

under ordinary conditions he could have dozed along without the fanning. An
other one was made weary looking at the boy whom he commissioned to bring
him iced drinks.
County Assessor Dalton found his avoirdupois such a burden to him that he
applied to the Supervisors this morning for an indefinite leave of absence, which
was cheerfully granted.
Street Superintendent Miller had no difficulty In organizing a sewer clean*
ing gang, for nearly everybody in his department was anxious to get down

And as for the tramp along the county road— the heat forced him to work.
Instead of sitting in the shadow of a hedge he was forced to walk under the

tions of the fleet these men established
flag stations on hills, on the tops of
houses and in church towers, and noting
the fail of the shells signaled the ves
sels the accuracy of their (ire, Its Sects
and the ranges. They worked in squads,
one corps being scattered from one end
of the firing line to the other, and every
man had to be an expert. Their work
was not of the gunpowder and clash of
battle order; it was silent and persist
ent, and like the secret service, Its great
est and almost only reward is the con
sciousness of duty well and honorably
performed.
The corps to be mustered out is to be
made up of men from almost every regi
ment thai was in service in the islands.
There are quite a number from this city
and Oakland and from this State. They
are all men of Intelligence and aptitude
and as a consequence the corps is above
the average of other branches of the ser
vice. They may be known by the black
trouser strap and chevron and by the
crossed flags and torches which all the
men carry on their arms.
The Forty-sixth Infantry has been or
dered to start for this city on October
16. It is now rendezvousing at South
Farmington, Mass. This is the first of
the second series of regiments under the
new call to be ordered out here. The
others are rapidly being recruited up to
their complement. Four of them will
reach Manila by way of the East and
the Suez canal on the transports Thomas,
Logan and Meade. The other nine will
be sent 'rom here. It was expected by
that they would only pause here for a
day or two and then go on to .Manila, but
they will not get away so easily. Gen
eral Shatter's policy has been to keep
the regiments here for two weeks, any
way, on a sort of sanitary probation, and
then to iet them go on. The wisdom of
this is shown by the Thirty-first, rfow in
quarantine on Angel Island. It was just
the day before lt was scheduled to sail
that the smallpox broke out in Its ranks.
It would be hard to imagine what would
have happened had the regiment got
away carrying the germs of the disease
with it. Smallpox on a ship loaded with
eighteen hundred men would be some
thing horrible.
Second Lieutenant Alfred M. Wilson.
Twentieth Infantry, has been assigned
to the transport Manauense as commis
sary and quartermaster.
Captain James J. Mayes. First Lieuten
ants Hamilton Bowie and C. C. Pulls
and Second Lieutenant Joseph C. Right
er, all of the Fortieth Infantry, have been
ordered to report to their regimental
commander at Fort Riley, Kans. These
officers have all been attached to t..e
battalion of the Fortieth that is being
recruited at the Presidio.
CHILD RUN OVER.
ALAMEDA. Oct. 9.— The little daughter
of Mrs. Fores of 2066 Encinal avenue was
painfully injured this afternoon while out
bicycle riding on Park street, near Central
avenue, by being run down by a horse and
spring wagon, driven by William Presby
'■!' Bay Farm Island.
One wheel of the vehicle passed over
the lit tie girl's head and her scalp was
badly lacerated. Presby was placed un
der arrest pending further investigation
of the affair. He claims that the trouble
was caused by the little girl attempting
to pass between his wagon and the curb
on the wrong side. She struck the horse
first, and In such a manner as to throw
her under .me of the front wheels of the
wagon, and before the horse could be
brought to a stop the wheel had passed
over the little one's bead. The injured
Kirl was carried into Binder's drugstore
and her wounds were dressed by Dr.
Keyes. She was afterward taken to her
home.

MERCED ELOPERS
MARRIED AT OAKLAND
OAKLAND, Oct Once again Oakland
has proven a haven for elopers. The latest
is the sensational elopement of Mrs.
George Winters of Merced with Bert Mil
ton Clift, a barber of the same place,
which culminated in a marriage ceremony,
at which Rev. A. Jatho, pastor of St.
Marcus Evangelical Lutheran Church in
this City, officiated, last Saturday night.
The couple left Merced last week, tak
ing with them the woman's 3-year-old .-on,
and on Saturday night about 9 o'clock
they called at the residence of Rev. Mr.
Jatho in this city. The minister, how
ever, was out at the time. To the lady
who answered the bell the couple stated
that they had called at several ministers
homes, but had been unable to find a
pastor home to marry them. It has since
been learned that the couple had also
called on the priest in charge of St. Jo
seph's Church, on Chestnut street. The
priest, however, seemed somewhat
alarmed and refused to solemnize the
union, noting that they seemed to be in a
great hurry. He told them that all did
not appear right to his mind, and so he
referred them elsewhere. Hence it was
shortly before midnight that ''lift with
his eloping bride and her little ion again
returned to Rev. Mr. Jatho's home, where
the nuptial knot was tied in the presence
of Mrs. Scott and Mrs. Helen Fogarty,
a neighbor, as witnesses.
• 'lift gave his age as 26 years and that
of the woman, who was named in the
marriage license as Miss Susie Drannon,
as -.: years, and their residence as San
Francisco. The 3-year-old hoy who ac
companied them they referred to as the
child of a friend. The trio took the last
train for San Francisco.
George Winters, the deserted husband, is
understood to be closing out his business
interests in the La Grand Hotel at Merced
and rumor has it that he is but preparing
to go on the trail of the guilty and seem
ingly bigamous lovers. It Is stated that
Clift's young brother also last week tried
to elope with a pretty Merced girl named
Laura Appling, but his plans were

Both Winters and Cliff are known to
lie quite handy with guns, and it is feared
that should they meet serious trouble
will surely follow.

DEFIES OFFICERS
Mrs. Cotterell Has a
Fight on Hand. .'
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,
908 Broadway, Oct. 9.
Mrs. L. M. Cotterell has closed all the
doors and windows at 10-7 Oak street, and
defies the officers or representatives of the
Union Savings Bank to put her out. Last
year the bank took the property under l
foreclosure, and has also brought suit to
dispossess Mrs. Cotterell, which is set for
trial before Judge Greene next Friday. !
Mrs. Cotterell entered the house Janu
ary 1 as a tenant at will of the bank, and
when the bank demanded that she surren
; der the house she refused. Three weeks
j ago another demand was made, and it had
I to be thrust through a barricaded window,
1 as Mrs. Cotterell refused admission to the |
' officer. She has filed an answer and J
counter claim to the bank's suit, asserting
that in December of last- year William G.
Shaw employed her as housekeeper
and caretaker of the property in dispute.
She says she has demanded pay for her J
services but was put off by a statement
that nothing would be done until the bank
had disposed of the property. She de
mands $504 as pay to December 30. In the
meantime Mrs. Cotterell keeps within the
mansion, refusing an entrance to the
bank's agents or to any officer of the
court. She has been served through a |
window with a notice that the trial is set j
for Thursday next. *
Ex-Soldier's Strange Malady.
OAKLAND, Oct. 9.— The physicians at
the Receiving Hospital are nonplused
over the case of James Harvey, a soldier,
who for over five hours this afternoon
stood motionless near the corner of
Broadway and Fourth street, his head
thrown back, the pupils of his eyes di
lated and his muscles contracted. Early
this evening his muscles relaxed, but. he
was wholly unable to give any account
of himself and appeared demented. From
papers found in his possession it was
learned that he was recently discharged
from the Twenty-third United States In
fantry. He is 29 years of age and will be
examined for insanity to-morrow.
BORN AND DIED IN
THE PATROL WAGON
OAKLAND, Oct. 9.— Mrs. Ollie Bayley,
aged 19 years, became very suddenly ill
In East Oakland to-day and while she
was being conveyed to the Receiving
Hospital in the police patrol a child was
born to her. The Intar.t died immediate
ly from exposure. Mrs. Bayley stated
that her husband had left her last April
to go to Kansas City. Mo. She has been
supporting herself by working out as a
domestic and gives her residence as 473
Sixth street.
England has about 150 packs of fox
hounds and about 15,000 horses are kept
specially for fox-hunting.
The ihppine War.
This contest Is proving much more stubborn
than we anticipated. It needs a vigorous con
test to straighten matters out. We should
tackle the Philippines and overcome them as
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters does dyspepsia.
Indigestion, malaria, fever and ague and liver
and kidney diseases. The battle is short and
decisive, and for fifty years the Bitters has
always won. If you are ill, and don't know
