Opera Holds First I'lace in the Attention of the Public MUSIC FOR THE MILLION. Special German Programme at the .Baldwin— "Little Puck"—Cleve '■'■_ land's Minstrels at the Bush— The Z" Alcazar Holds on to "7-20-8," But Will Be Piqued Out of It Next . Week— Concerts— Tivoli— The Mendelssohns' British- American Tour— Etc. '. Reviewing the local theatrical world for the . past week, the principal feature to be '■: found is tin' arrival of the _'. D. Hess Op ;• era Company. The singers came without much preliminary notice and took up their ; quarters at a fourth-class place of amuse •'. '.ment. These conditions did not lead the public to expect much, and therefore, when tut of curiosity for the mosl part the Or • pheum was crowded in Monday evening to •' ' hear "11 Tr.vatore," the performance so far exceeded the estimate placed up' it • .in advance that, the Hess Opera 1'; npany ■ became tbo talk of the town, and only terms of praise were used in the discussion of the merits of the respective members. The dramatic monotony had been pleasurably •' broken, and we found ourselves enjoying j* the rare privilege of listening to first-class interpretation of lyric art without paying ' exorbitant prices. We had a prima donna in Miss Franeesca Guthrie — a pupil of Mar ' cbesi in vocalism and Delsarte in dramatic action— has had but few* superiors in the operatic annals of this city ; we had also Patti's tenor. Guille, without paying the ■ . i'atti prices. It was, in a degree, a revolu .. tion in the business of the lyric stage, and a ■ very refreshing one, too, for cur lovers of music. The Best Company, we may add, ■is very well equipped vocally, and fresh singers, each quite equal to the oilier in point of talent, can he presented by way of ■ change. Thus, Miss Camille Muori, a pupil ■ of the celebrated Em of -New York, will ' relieve Miss Guthrie this evening in the role ■ of Leonora, and the lady has a foil wing of ' • critical partisans, who claim for her all the ■ qualities as a singer that we already know '.. Miss Guthrie to possess. ...In a line with these remarks in regard to . '. operatic movement incur local amusement .. world we may add that besides the Hess • i i ii ; any and tbe Abbott Company, shortly • to arrive, we are likely to bave a grand Italian opera organization in the near fu ture, Captain Russell of the Pacific Mail ■ steamship San Jose, just in port from the Central Anieiican route, brings news of a y. very complete company of artists, formed in. Milan, which he lauded on his last trip, via Panama, at San Jose '-de. Guatemala, where they are engaged for a stated period under a subvention by the Government of 60,000 francs. .After fulfill ing their contract in Guatemala the coiu • 1-anv propose to extend their trip to Califor nia and will reach here about the latter part of April or the beginning of May, 1891. There are sixty-three in the party, and the .ma donna, Signorina Fell ma, is said to be a marvel of physical beauty and a delight in tonal excellence. The air will be filled . with music. Alien, the Kftldwln. : ' The special German performance at the • Baldwin to-morrow evening will be devoted to Dumas' comedy-drama "Kean," re . -arranged for the German stage by the well known actor Ludw.g Barnay. Mr. yon der ■ ' Osten and Mme. Ottilie Genee's company interpret it. Many Americans have asked that this performance be given, and the Baldwin management has complied readily. ' . It will be the only appearance of the Genee Company outside of their regular Sunday season, as the Baldwin closes on Tuesday and will remain shut for a fortnight (ex - cept to the Germans on Sunday), in order to enlarge, and otherwise improve th* stage. When -the theater reopens on Monday, December Bth, it will be with the Emma Abbott Grand English Opera Company. WHAT WE MAY KXI'ECT. The budget of future attractions at this ■ theater is a very rich one. Without at- moling— excepting in the case of the Abbott Company and "The Private Seere ' tarv"— to give the order of date of their ap pearance, we find the management has se cured, am' otbers: "All the Comforts of Home," the biggest comedy suocess of ■the year, which will be given here with the ' - entire New York cast, including Hfmrv ' Miller; The Emma Jueh Grand English Opera Company, with all their pnrapher ■.hßliß, accessories, etc. ; Lotta; Bernhardt; "The Country Fair"; The Bostonians; .. Belaseo and De Millo's new play, "Men and i. men," with Charles Frohman'sNew Yoik Stock Company from the Twenty third-street Theater; Sol Smith ltussell; . Nat Goodwin in his new play, " The Nomi : nee," winch has made a phenomenal hit; Daniel roll man's New York Lyceum Com .. pany in the "Charity Ball," "The Idler" and other plays; Fanny Davenport in "Cleopatra" ; Henderson new Chicago Opera House spectacular extravaganza; Lawrence Barrett in three of his immense " productions, including "Thomas-a-Beckel" ; • Jefferson and Fioience; Sardou's new play, "Thermidor," etc. Store or I . Farce- comedy, as it is called, seems dcs - tined to be perennial on the American stage. In tho shape of Frank Daniels' "Little Fuck" it will he the attraction at the New California this week, and it must be confessed, at ihe same time, that this • piece, from the pen of Mr. Archibald Cla- Vfi ing Gunter, is the best of its class pos sessing as it does some fiber in plot and more than the ghost of an idea. The story, as our readers already know, la taken from onlTof Anstey's fancilul novelettes, and lhe . principal character, Mr. Buckingham Gift- ' -^^Pi^EH^^SSl^H*EB^B85^^^*''*' " f Frank Drniielt. edge, has been absorbed by Mr. Daniels in hi- happiest and most complete manner. '1 li- farceur has more in him than a kick and a jump, a mere twist of the features or contortion of the . bod)'. Underneath a DM king farce is tlie working of a brain that §ives ■ certain saliency to . his points, riglilens the vim-nt of the auditor, anil banishes ali fear of tidieusness. Packing hum is drawn on very different lines from Old Sport, by which, in one • of the lloyt esque conceits, Daniels first aroused the at tention of the public. But dealing with U.it he did it all the justice the creation de- ■ . manded, quite as mull, in Its way, as be invests the more elaborate study" of the THROUGH THE OPERA CLASS matter-of-fact stock broker with in Little Puck," who first occupies his own body and afterward thatof his son Billy. I lie same com- - 'stf&^STyJ Bessie Sansan. panv that supported Mr. Daniels during his long' run nt the New Park Theater. New York, accompanies biiii in this his tliird visit to the Pacific Coast, including that pretty and vivacious little woman and conscientious acties?, Bessie Sanson, who has been iden tified Willi seveial of his farce-comedy suc cesses. In this she plays Miranda Savage, Dr. Savage's daughter, in love with Billy. The farce-coniedy, which almost aspires to be tailed the straight article, is clean and wholesome in tone and will ba freshened and enriched with entirely new songs, mu sic, dances and specialties from the newest operas and latest burleques. A C'liri*Tiiifl» Attraction. "U and I," selected for the Christmas at traction at the Bush-street Theater, is a polite satire on the system in New York, now in vogue, of living in French flats. Young Harry Kelly, who made a bit by playing an eccentric toliceman in "Evangeline," when that burlesque was last presented at the Xew California Theater, will in this production show him self as a "copper" of another type, and Charles Wayne, who is also well-known on the Coast— was at one time conspicuous," we believe, for some good work at the Tivoli— will illustrate in his proper person the trials and tribulations of a concierge at the French flats residence. The other bright particular stars are (ins Williams, Florrie West, called the ".English dancing sun li in." and Miss Gertrude Zelia, a first-prize graduate of the New York Academy of Music, and the leading vocalist of the com pany. Boih these ladies arc young and beautiful. Life is a-maying with Zella, she is only IT years of age. Miss West, besides the personal attractions of youth and beauty, is an accomplished comedienne and danseiise. Mirlh and Minstrelsy. A few years ago when W. S. Cleveland was manager for Jack tverly he conceived the idea of trolling allot the best min strel taleut in the United States, and, by so doing, could organize a number of compa nies and distribute the talent among them in such a way that each organization would have equal drawing power. This idea has been carried out to the le tter. and now the young manager has four minstrel companies on the load, all of which are proving that his idea was the right one. One of tho four companies consists of the finest .sit. red taleut procurable for inonev. They will ap pear at the Bush-street Theater to-morrow (Monday) evening. The black stars are Tom Mcintosh, James Bland, Billy Farrell, George Ki-hner, 'Will Eldrtdge, Dm Payles, Baton Williams and the four Brewer Broth ers. The first part fa said to be something most gorgeous, the costumes elegant and the stage settings beautiful. The programme throughout abounds in good "specialties, sketch's, songs, dances, marches and maneu vers, among which are the Mozambique gladiators, Tory light and San Souci quar tet. Liliputian policemen, feast of the voo doos, ten bizarre skirt dancers; Javalan, equilibrist; Cicero Deed, contortionist; Wil son, evolutionist; Brewers, gymnasts, and a fine orchestra of twenty-five soloists. The Hens OyeiH Comttltny. This organization, now at the Orphean), has made a most favorable impression on the public, although, so far as business ar rangements are concerned, it has not been altogether smooth sailing with the manage ment. Tbe programme finally agreed on, ana which will be adhered to as far as possible for the season, is five nights of opera, with a Liberati concert on Mon day and Thursday evening. "Bigoletto" is Therefore announced for Tuesday next, with the star cast of Miss Franceses Guthrie, Miss Myer, Mr. Guille, Mr. Mertens ami Mr. Hamilton, and will be continued all the week. The work of Miss Guthrie and Mr. Guille in "11 Trovatore" during last week ha- made these artists especial favorites, and the capacity of the Orpheum auditorium has been tested every night. Lyric prob abilities are hinted at in the way of placing this company, which may increase at the same time the pleasure nt our music-lovers and the profits of the enterprise. The StelliWity ,11 n-ie-iics. The third in tne series of soirees nuisi cales at Steinway Hall under the manage ment of Mr. F. A. Lndoviei took place on Friday last and was well attended. A change lias been made in the Beethoven String Quartet, Mr. tiering replacing Mr. Charles Goffrie, wbo retires. Ila. tin's quar tet in D minor nud Mozart's in i_ flat were well render, Mr. J. Li. lloscwald played with masterly effect Leonard's second con certo for the violin in D major and was re called. An interesting feature of the evening was the appearance of the Misses Lillie Jean Lawler and May Thorne ha the principal vocalists. The former sang Naint-Saens' "Mon Cceur N'oiivre a taVoix"with a sweet voice and in good method antl the latter Boom's "Still As the Night" and Steiubach's "My Love Has Golden Hair" in a manner equally accept able to the audience. The vocal quartet in which these pong ladies participated, with the addition of .Vis. la mes M. Madden and (.'h. AVickniaii, was decidedly the vocal suc cess of the evening. Was Bessie Wall's piano sale showed ;i finn and at the same Jlexible manipulation.

Then there is a peculiar gracefulness and ease about her method which makes it a pleasure to listen to her. In the lower register she is superb, in the upper she is exquisite, and io both she is musical, sweet nnd attractive. .She has a dash of originality iv rendition which, while musically accurate, gives a distinctive charm not often observed in vocalists el classical music. As a rule they are coldly correct; Miss Barnard is charming in the most difficult passages." The Manitoba Press says "there is simply no comparison between Miss Barnard and her predecessor." -Maladroit JHatiHgellieiit. The famous Liberati Baud, having aban doned the contemplated southern tour, re turned to this city last week and gave, at the Eijon Theater, a series of four concerts, measurably for the benefit of the Church of the Advent, and under the immediate pat ronage . f its rector, Bey. John Gray. Per haps of all enterprises in the show line that has visited this Coast there has never been one so badly managed as this company of excellent musicians, it seemed that they were fated to be always the right men in the wrong place. The band first opened at the Orpheum, where, owing to indifferent advertising, the attendance was slack. Next it went to the Bush-street, where, bemg better piaced, business increased. But in both instances the space was too limited for the majestic music of the instruments to he heard to advantage. The recent arrange ment, however, was worse than the first Instead of Liberati and his people concert izing in an ample hall, as they might have done, they -were put on the Bijou static, where, owing to con fined area, their music was without form and void— a mere "crash of brass," compared to what it would have been under proper conditions, and when there were not 100 people all told in the auditorium. The grim humor uf the situa tion was enhanced by the reverend nation of the concerts making a speech on Thursday, evening just la-fore the hist number, in which he reproached an absent public for neglect of the musicians — thut i-, by care lessness or ignorance of the requirement*, either on his part or that of their regular business man, the efficiency of these splen did performers was curtailed one-half, and then lovers of music were rebuked for not extending their patronage!

An exemplified copy of the will aad co dicils of the late Ellas Hoelistadter was filed in the Probate Department " yesterday Iby Simon Hilb, one of the "executors, who has just arrived Jrom Germany with the I docu ment in question. Hoelistadter was a former resident of this city, and left an estate worth about hall a million. The will was probated in France, and contained several . bequests . to eb^y-___^_^_^_m^______-t_______ JUGGLING WITH JUSTICE. Ah ; Kit Remanded . for Sentence by tbo Circuit Court. Some months ago, when Ah Kit was ar rested for visiting one of the numerous gam bling dens of Chinatown, Counselor Clarke, in his mad effort for fame, endeavored to clog the wheels of justice by taking out a writ of habeas corpus from the United States Circuit Court for his client, on the ground that the ordinance under which the- arrest was made is invalid. The effect of lhe writ was to delay the trial of the case on its merits for several weeks, but in the meantime the proceedings on the writ were had, with the result that the validity of the ordinacce was sustained and the defendant remanded. Upon the .rendering of the court's decision the learned counselor gave notice of an appeal, but did not perfect his appeal at the time and, in consequence, the matter came up a few weeks ago before Police Judge Bis, where the prisoner was convicted. Clarke immediately bethought himself of his sleeping appeal, and he at once proceeded to perfect it. How the sureties were ob tained, or by whom, is not known, but within a few hours of the conviction a bond was filed in the Circuit Court in the required amount. One of the sureties was How Koy, a cigar manufacturer at 808 Stockton street, worth S2OOO over and above all liabilities.. The other was Chew Fook, who claimed to own a 52500 Interest in a shoe factory at 427 Pacific street. The legal defender of coolie rights certified over his own signature that he knew both the sureties above named, and that they were sufficient surety for the pen alty named. The filing of the bond had the effect of staying the prisoner's sentence and releas ing him from the custody of the police. Chief Crowley determined to have the man carefully watched and in addition he de tailed Detectives Cox and Olennon to look into the standing of the band-men. They after a thorough examination reported their inability to find Chew l<Vok, and that the factory in which he claimed an interest had no existence outside of the wily Chinaman's imagination, for at the address he gave L. Hertz, a white man, conduits a second-hand clothing and boot and shoe store. They did find How Key, but instead of the prosperous cigar factory he claimed to own, he occupied a very dingy room, in whicii the stock, at a very liberal estimate, does not amount to S'2'iQ in value. The detectives' report was at once laid before Judge Haw ley of Nevada, who is lidding court during Circuit Judge Sawyer's illness, and he cited Counselor Clarke to appear before him and ordered that a sew bund he filed. The mat ter was then delayed from day to day to give him an opportunity lor complying with the order. - Finally, when no effort . was seemingly made to obey the Court's instructions. Judge llawley peremptorily ordered Counselor Clarke and ids client to lie in court yesterday morning, aud warned the attorney' that if it should appear that he was merely pursuing Ins dilatory course for the purpose of inter fering with the state court, lie would see that the gentleman should be granted no further appeals. Ah Kit and his counsel accordingly visited the Circuit-Court yester day morning, the city being iepre»euted by ex-Judge Louderbaek. On a full presentation of the facts, nnd a new bond not being forthcoming, Judge Hartley ordered the bond set aside, the ap peal annulled and the i risouer remanded back for sentence. After the decision Ah Kit was taken in charge by the officers, and is now languishing in the City Prison. He will be brought up for sentence to-morrow, aild has no furtlier hope of escaping justice.

Martin CL Thio'.man, Secretary of the American Eagle Associatiun aud Secretary, also, of tho Eagle Insurance Society and (lerinan Land aad Cattlo Company, who has au office at 123 California street, and re sides iv Oakland, lias made himself liable to the law, according to an indictment pre sented by the United State-, Grand Jury, charging him with having misused the United States mails by sending a circular through them with Intent to defraud. The circular in question was one promot ing a mutual insurance plan, whereby Tbiel man hoped to make at least a passable liv ing out of a gullible public. The plan of the alleged mutual insurance was to. issue tickets, numbered consecutively, to peisons who deposited (10 initiation fee and gl 25 a month afterward. As soon as a surplus of SlOcO over the expenses and salaries paid had been accumulate!, it was to be paid in bulk to the holder of the lowest uncanceled ticket. On the face of it the "plan" was at best a lottery scheme, whereby eventually some one might receive a $1000 bonus, but about thirty persons who had taken stock in it confessed to the Or.md Jury how lorloro their hope of the "surplus" ever material izing had become, especially ou discovery of the little j ker iv the provision that no ben efits would accrue to members until salaries and other liabilities bad first been met. The Grand Jury presented the indictment on Friday evening before it was discharged, and the indictment was place! on the secret file uutil yesterday morning, wheu United Stites Marshal Long arrested Thielman on a bench warrant. Cash bail of $3000 was required and furnished immediately. M null, I>uinnj>en for Slander. An action for 81C00 damages was com menced yesterday by 1). M. Blank against Charles J.
