If they would only shoot at the In
dians from the stage in the third act
up at the ; Alcazar— burn a little pow

would be absolutely complete. There is
nothing in the acting or the stage busi
ness which is lacking save just that—
the want of a little real, shooting be
hind ; the . stockade instead of beating a
stretched skin out in the files." The
audience could stand the smoke for the
sake of the effect.
These melodramas where thej.- wear
swords and blow bugles are so apt to
be overdone— : there ' is such ah opportu
nity to rant and shriek— that one hesi
tates .before going to see such a play,
but ; the Alcazar* people have put on . the
stock barh-stbrmihg play with ah .ef
fectiveness' which raises: it, up to^the
rank of the standard class. After the
first part ; of r the first act- things slide
along smoothly, and many, a delicious
thrill of 'the -real sort ¦" creeps ' up the
tense spine of the audience.

uncommonly well. •'jSli'e was attired in
a tailor-made suit Of deep blue, with
superb furs of white and gray. Im

fatigued from her trip across the con

Allen Curtis made his initial bow to
an audience atFischer's Theater last
night in the musical comedy, "I. o. U."
He was cordially received and made a
favorable impression. He was handi
capped in several ways— by the popu
larity of Barney Bernard, his predeces
sor; by the fact that his opportunities
for studying the part were limited, and
also by the fact that Max M. Dill Is
ill with pneumonia and his part had
to be taken at short notice by Arthur
Boyce. The piece was carried through
as merrily as ever, however, and the
applause was liberal and hearty.

VICTORIA, B. C., Dec. 14.—Mount
ford Wilson of a firm of attorneys of
San Francisco was severely cross-ex
amined in the Hopper-Dunsmuir will
case to-day by E. V. Bodwell, counsel
for the plaintiff. The witness in reply
to one question as to Mrs. Dunsmuir's
shortage of money, said this was due
to her having to pay Mrs. Hopper's
debts. :-. ;'* ;
,Bodwell attacked Wilson on the
ground that he represented both
James Dunsmuir and the late . Mrs.
Alexander Dunsmuir in the making of
agreements whereby James Dunsmuir
agreed to give Mrs. Dunsmuir $25,000
a year and a half interest in the San
Francisco property after a certain
debt had been paid, which it was esti
mated would take two years. Bod
well claimed Wilson did riot conserve
Mrs. Dunsmuir's interest by not hav
ing the arrangement In regard to the
payment of this debt inserted in the
agreement.' Jr? :
Wilson admitted having told Mrs.
Dunsmuir that Dunsmuir, being Pre
mier of British Columbia, would be
hard to beat in a British Columbia
court, but disclaimed any unprofes
sional action. . He first heard of the
will In February after Dunsmuir's fu
neral, and Mrs. Dunsmuir had told
him, taking into account her- good
name, her husband's memory, etc., she
did not intend to contest the will.'
VICTORIA, B. C. Dec. 14.— Lord
Dundonald, chief of the Canadian
forces, returned from Port Simpson and
vicinity on the Government steamer
Quadra to-day, where he went to lo»k
over the situation with respect to the
report that the United States intended
to fortify Sitkan and Kannaghai isl
ands.
Dundor.aJd visited both islands and
elso Pearso and 'Wales islands, which
were both aw/yded to Canada. He de
clined to talk of his visit, but from
others in the carty it is learned that
he regards Sitkan and Kannigha isl
ands as unable to dominate Port Simp
etm if fortified. Vessels pass close to
these islands entering Port Simpson,
but Wales If land is so much higher
that a fort there would make any forti
fications on the United States' islands

Hampstead to-day. Leonard Courtney,
M. P., made a brief address on the life
and work of the dead philosopher. An
Indian gentleman who v.'as present of

Herbert Spencer left stringent and
precise instructions as] to the conduct
of his funeral, according to which only
his secretary should accompany., the

appointment to- the intimates of the'
philosopher, who desired to be present

The Central The'ater last night
roused a big house to enthusiasm with
the kins of border dramas, "The
Scout's Ilevenge." The scenes are laid
in the northern part of Texas and the
piece was beautifully mounted. The
plot deals with the* heroic efforts of an
American scout to break up a band of
outlaws on the frontier of Indian Ter
ritory, and Incidentally of the scout's*
conquest of the heart of a charming
Texas heiress, who is coveted by a pol
ished villain leagued with the bandits.
The play is replete with action of the
most stirring kind and curtain calls
were demanded after every sensational
climax. Herschel Mayall made a hand
some, dashing hero, and Eugenie Thais
Lawton a charming heroine.
The hew Tivoli Opera-house, corner
of Eddy and Mason streets, will be
opened Wednesday evening, December
23, with the magnificent holiday spec
tacle "Ixion, or The Wheelman," a
mythological- conglomeration, culled
and congregated by Ferris Hartman.
There will be twenty principals in the
cast and more than 150 people will ap
pear on the stage. There will be five
distinct ballets, all beautifully cos
tumed, and the transformation scene
entitled "Excelsior, or The Triumph of
Light" promises to be an artistic reve
lation. The sale of reserved seats will
begin Thursday morning at the old
Tivoli box office.

excellent a General Kennion as James

worth. Besides Miss Adele Block,
whose part gives "full play to all her
talent, Miss Juliet Crosby, after her six
months of retirement, received a hearty
share of the audience's approbation.
The Chinese Six Companies issued a
circular last evening exonerating both
the tongs now at war from complicity
in the assassination of Gee Gum in the
Washington-street Theater late Satur
day night. The shooting evolves a tale
-almost unprecedented. Those who plot
ted the crime relied on daring 'for ac
complishment. The murder was spec
tacular even for Chinatown.
While a play was in progress and
while 500 pairs of eyes were fastened
on the ' :¦. stage, a highbinder stepped
out and emptied his revolver in the
direction of Gee Gum. The victim,
who was a musician and who occu
pied a seat immediately behind the
actors, pitched forward, wounded unto
death. Every one present saw the
deed and its recklessness amazed them.
The murderer jumped toward a back
door, through which he had come, and
disappearedjn the network of passages
that. lead to another street.
It seemed strange that none of the
witnesses rhould know the assassin.
All who watched this bit of realism
interjected into .the heathen drama
positively asserted that its perpetrator
was a stranger and that the victim was
a member of no tong. * *
The Six Companies investigated and
found a story of deliberate revenge. A
Chinese lover, /whose affections had
been alienated by the musician, 1 plot
ted that the object of his vengeance
should find ho escape and took him
at a time when he would least be pre
pared for an attack. It appears that
Gee Gum won a woman whose residence
is on Sacramento street. Her forsaken
lover threatened his life and empha
sized his threats so strongly that the
musician took warning and went about
at all times guarded by friends. Then
his enemy resorted to strategy and im
ported a highbinder to do the work.
Where the man came from no one
knows. He had never been seen in
Chinatown before nor has he appeared
since. When he passed up on the stage,
bent, on murder, he was not known
and there was no one to- furnish a clew
as to his identity to the police when
tftey arrived on the scene.'
Fresh as a rose, blithe as a lark, win
some Lulu Glaser last night brought
another town under the witchery *of
her Dolly Varden.. City after city has
capitulated, and last night as much of
San Francisco as could be got into the
Columbia followed suit. It is ten years
since Miss Glaser was here to obsess
the town with 'If you love me, darling,
tell me with your eyes,' and inci
dentally to wile away the center' of
the : stage from Francis Wilson, who
brought her. Miss Glaser is 'ten years
younger since then. In. ten years. more
the philanthroplcally inclined will
probably be sending the Gerry society
after her manager. In the meantime
she .persuades to the righteousness of
another reminiscent Edwards opera,
carries it off in fine triumph.
If Miss Glaser's face was not her for
tune her laugh would be, dot enough.
How shall one describe its luscious gur
gle? It Is like a. lark's song after rain,
like the small boy's laugh when he
isn't found out.' One needs only its
captivating ripple and Mr. Edwards' or
any other opera may go hang— as Nor
dica sings. But Miss Glaser has much
more to offer. She has a warm, girly
voice that she uses to excellent advan
tage, and the last man in the .gallery!
can hear every word she says and sings.
Then this captivating person can act
with a freshness, vivacity, spontaneity
that makes her DolIy'Varden one of the
cleverest comedy portraits recently
seen here. Add to this a charming face j
and figure and a bewitching repertoire
of gowns, and you have Miss Lulu
Glaser as Dolly Varden.
The part was born for her. Possibly
not by Mr. Stange's fault— or has he \
the reminiscent habit of Mr. Edwards?
— the librettist's indebtedness to Wych- |
erley in his "The Country Girl" is not j
acknowledged. But the plot is the !
same, Dolly, a lovely country lass un
der the guardianship of a stern old
party who intends _to . marry her and
her "pot of money," comes up to Lon
don. Here, though she walks a&road
caged in a bottomless sedan chair, she
falls in love with a handsome young
London gallant. The story is concerned
with the plotting of the lovers to out
wit the guardian. As in the Wycherley
comedy, a second pair of lovers is in
troduced, and to give Miss Glaser op
portunity to show her angel ones she
has to wear boy's clothes, just as
Peggy does.
From the moment ' the fascinating
ankles that her lover apostrophises, in
lieu of the 1 eyebro,\vs . he^,,has .not yet
seen, appear the stage, is the dainty
comedienne's. They come tripping un
der the sedan chair that her guardian
ingeniously \ uses to hide his country
rose. Then Miss Glaser appears to be
gin a dellghtfultrio in which the guar
dian, the lover— who loves her for" her
ankles alone— and Dolly take part. She
is country girlhood itself, her awkward
ness divine, her giggle an inspiration.
One can believe she has just dropped
j from an apple tree and that she will
soon tumble up another. ; She has a
ridiculous, girlish little sniff that is
adorable, a hoyden walk thai is richly
droll. In all phases of the part she is
found sufficient, whether defying or
coaxing her guardian, making naive
love to Dick or offering to marry any
one so that "she can go to the play."
She. hasn't much in the way of songs,
which is a pity. "The Lay of the Jay"
is the only one in fact. It is good
enough. The. trio in which she first
appears, "Twirling, Whirlinar," is one
of her best numbers. But go to see her. i
Words fall me.
The opera. Mr. Wycherley to be
thanked, has a clear plot and attract
| ive story that falls in excellently with
i the purposes of opera. Some of the j
I musical setting: is distinctly melodious;
I If reminiscent— better where it is rem-
I inlscent, though one could wish that
"The Holy City" had been pas§ed by
as a source of inspiration. Then there
are also good people for the opera's '
[interpretation besides Miss Glaser.
• There is a sprightly and musical cho
rus, "including j a smart octet of men
that are f up to' "Flbrodora" sextet
standards, and the costumes are of the
_•'"'¦
The hero, Richard Belleville, is done
by Harry Girard, lean and cQurtly and
effective, but one has to take his tenor
for granted. .John Dunsmuire is good
as Dolly's guardian and has a.prom
ising basso that only balks. at a deep,
deep C. He sings very pleasantly.
Harold Blake has a pretty tenor and
acts well. Lillian Walbridge, the only
woman of importance in the cast be
sides Miss Glaser, is unimportant and
has a trill that 'should be extracted.
Her song, "The Navy," is the best on |
the programme, and Miss Walbridge 1
has a voice that was here prettily used.
There aren't many quotable lines. in

SCOTT'S EMULSION.
We'll send yon a sample free upon request.
SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl Strtet, 21. Y.
There is no secret about
Scott's Emulsion * of Cod
Liver Gil. The label tells
the whole story. There is a
knack in making it. The
only secret about it is the
secret of its. success.
This year, when cod liver
oil is very scarce and hi<*|i,
all kinds of cheap, inferior
oils are used to take its place,
and. all sorts of things pre-
sented as substitutes. Think
of petroleum being taken as
a substitute for cod liver oil !
— too absurd. Think of the
so-called wines, extracts and
cordials of ' cod liver oil !
—^they are simply the shadow
without the substance; no
food value in them.
Scott's Emulsion — " The
Old Reliable " is the same
yesterday, to-day and forever.
• Its quality and purity can
be absolutely depended upon
at all times. \
NO SECRET.
