THE Nalad Queen" (now rechristened
"The Water Queen') will be the next at
traction at the New Bush-street, and will
be reproduced under the supervision of
Bolossy Kiralfy. 1t was originally brought
out in New York by Burton at the Old Ma
tional, when that theater passed into his
hands, and made a deal of money for him,
"a il has for many managers since. Before
the BLACK Crook" made new departure
in spectacular drama on the American side
OF the Atlantic Ocean THE Naiad Queen"
was the most popular of its class. Now,
having passed through Kiralfy's hands, the

beilished IN the most lavish way, and is
stuffed as full of Kiralfy specialties as is

Mr.. Frederick warde
Is approaching us by lines of dramatic cir

in Sacramento; he was honored rs he de-
served. The country members of the Legis-
lature were paraiyzed by his rendering of
Shakespeare. They may have read in the
poets works such possibilities, but never
hoped TO have seen them put in action
Warde Is the coming man, and knows his
Importance in the histrionic world. Alter
all these years of study and hard work,
based upon liberal education, he would be
an imbecile if he did not. know where he
stood upon the stage and before the world.

WHARF ..Tme1fth Nirht, Came Frnr


As With many other Of his plays, Shake
speare drew the material for his exquisite
comedy from Italian sources, minglIng it, in
his usual disregard for the unities in con-
struction. with glimpses of life and manners
that are English in feature. By reference
t. the 'Bibloteca Italjana" of Haym (says
commentator at hand), printed in. Milan in
III, it will be found that there are two
Italian comedies, both having the same title.
''Gl' IngannP the Cheats, and both bear
ing a date antecedent to that of Twelfth
Night" The author Of one was
NicoIo Secchi; that Of the other, Curzio
Gonzaga. 1t is likely both these CON-
edeS were read by Shakespeare. In each
of them there is a brother and sister,
the latter dressed in male attire; both hav-
ing so great a resemblance to each other as
to produce many ridiculous errors and en-
barrassments. The name assumed by the
lady in disguise in Gonzaga's play is Cesare,
and it is very probable this suggested the
% name Cesaris, which in Shakes peare'S
comedy is adopted by Viola on her as
~ sumption OF the character of the page. Some
other sources have been mentioned as hay-

Most of the years of her young

ANOTHER WAR CLOUD.
Hostile Feeling Between France
and Italy.

Edoardo 10 Monaco. an advocate Of Paler-
mo. Italy, is staying at the Grand. He is
making tour of the world and has spent
several months in the United States and
Canada. He speaks English perfectly, and
is devoting himself to the study of Ameri-
can jurisprudence.
From advices which 1 have just re-
eeived from Italy," said Signor Monaco yes
terday, II am of the opinion that war is
impending between Italy and France.
There has been bad feeling toward us on
the part of the French for many years.
Ihere has been and is an unofficial alliance
between Italy and Germany, and now that
france has formed an alliance with Russia
sne IS more DESTROYS than ever Of regalning
Alsace and Lorraine, and thinks there is
now chance to strike Germany over ltaly's
shoulders. The feeling has increased in
bitterness, and now war seems inevitable.
Inc Italians have been grooming under
a load of taxation which is maintaining
them IN dire poverty. A property tax of
33B per cent of the assessed value and in
ADDITION an income tax OF IS per cent has
Deen required to maintain the equipment of
the army and navy. TIE people, realizing
the danger of war, have not protested at
thelr burdens hitherto. but the tax is rapidly
becoming unbearable

citizens the indignation cooled down rapidly.

A PIRATES TREASURE FOUND.
The Felucca of Jean Lafitte Said to Have

The Felucca of Jean Lafitte Said to Have
Been Located.
1t is generally believed says Kenner
(Texas), special to the Philadelphia Times.
that party Of treaSure-seekers in q recent
night succeeded in rescuing from the waters
of the Gulf large quantity of treasure con-
tanned in a wreck which lay about a mile
and quarter from the shore. This wreck
is supposed to have been that of felucca
belonging to the Pride, the schooner of the
the pirate Jean LATTE, once the scourge of
these waters.
This felucca, which the old records name
as the Pretty Nell, was being sent ashore
by Lafitte in 1910 after an encounter with
Spanish bark, in which the Pride captured
and burned the Spaniard, when the fulucca
was sunk with all hands by shot from the
English ship Coronet. 1t is said that the
Spanish vessel was bound for Peru laden
With gold and silver coin, and Lafitte was
sending this treasure ashore for deposit in
one of his hiding places by the Pretty Neil,
and after her destruction lowered about
this coast for weeks seeking for the spot
where she had gone down, but failed to find

During the day pieces of wornl-eaten
wood were picked up, and were probably
fragments of the wreck liberated by the
removal of her heavy cargo. Watch was
kept for several nights after the tugs visit,
but she has not returned, so it is probable
that she was either disappointed in not
finding the credited treasure after searching
the old wreck or else managed TO remove it
all in the one night.
A diver has been sent for from Galveston
and will make a thorough examination OF
the spot. Advlces from all the ports on the
coast say that no vessel answering to the
description given of the ting has been seen
to unload at any wharf. but it is thought
she must have landed or transferred to
another vessel her spoil at night or on some

Strange yIcissitudes of Couple Rema r

Strange Vicissitudes of a Couple Remar-
ried at indianapolis.
A strange finale to a domestic drama of
more than ordinary interest was the recent
remarriage of August Richter OF Iudianapo-
lis TO his divorced wife Christina. A dec
ade ago Richter was a prosperous and
highly respected resident of that city. In
1881 man named Baumeller took up his
residence near the Richter domicile, and
the two families soon became very intimate.
Within a few months it was noticed that
Richter spent great part of his time at
Baumeller's and Baumeller spent quite as
much time at RichteT's, and the gOssips of
the city soon began to talk. This had con-
tInued but short time when suddenly
Baumeler and Mrs. Richter disappeared
and Richter and Mrs. Baumeller brought
suits for divorce, the one alleging that his
wife bad absconded with Baumeller, and
the other that her husband had abandoned
her and fled with Mira Richter. On the
heels Of the separation came the report that
there was collision between the parties and
that Baumeller, who was far from being
prosperous, had received $1,000 as a bonus
from Richter in an exchange Of wives.
When the divorces were granted Richter
and Mrs. Baumeller we're married. Bau-
meller and Mrs Richter went TO Milwaukee,
Wis, where their money was squandered,
and where Baumeller died in a drunken de-
bauch, and Mrs. Richter returned to In
dianapOls and became the housekeeper of
DIR. Greiner. eventually marrying him.
Richter and his second wife lived very I'M
happily, and little by little she secured his
property, ran him into debt, and then de-
serted HIM, going to New York, where, it is
said, she had succeeded in deluding another
man.
Richter sued for divorce and was freed
from this second spouse, and just about
that time DIR. Greiner died, leaving Chris
tina a widow. Richter and Mrs. Greiner,

POLICE COMMISSION.
Officer Waugaman Dismissed for
Taking Brides.

Various officials in and about the old
City Hall were surprised yesterday morn
ing to see Police Commissioners Tobin and
Alvord walk to the chambers of the COM
mission and take their seats. 1t was
thought an unusual thing to hold a session
at such an hour and on such q dav, the
meetings generally being held on Monday
nights of each week. The occasion of the
meeting was, however, soon known, when
Colonel Dan Burns, the new appOintee of
Governor Markham to the position, arrived
and took chair near AIvord and Tobin.
Clerk Hall followed just in time to take
from Dan Burns hands his commission,
which he read to the board. The creden-
tials of the new Commissioner appeared
satisfactory to the other members Of the
board. and Mr.. Burns formally took his
seat. Without any other preliminaries,
Commissioner AlvOrd moved that Commits
6ioner Tobn be elected President OF the
board and the motion was carried. The
new President took his seat, and declared
the session adjourned until o'clock in the
afternoon. Commissioner Burns stated that
he would be unable to be present, as he
was going TO Mexico atnOon on the steamer
Colima to attend TO some mining business
At o'clock in the afternoon the board
rcconvened in order to hear charges pre-
ferred against certain officers. The first
case taken up was one against ODcef
Charles Waugaman, accused by MIS-. NJ. V.
Thomas, a Market street statiOner. with ac-
cepting a bride Of SO month for seven
months in order to allow her to sell lottery
tickets. The evidence brought out was
similar to that already published. Mrs.
Thomas stated that she desired the commits
sion to be as lenient as possible on the ac-
cuspd
Clerk Hall next called the case against
Officer J. =. Green, accused by man
named McMurphv with standing him UP on
Market street some time ago while he was
going to work with his tools and taking him
for a burglar. AS the prosecuting witness
failed to appear when called the case against
Green was continued.
Corporal Robert COckrill was called be-
fore the board to answer TO u charge pre-
ferred by a barber named Jack Xegers, who
charged the corporal with assaulting him on
the Mail Dock. Three witnesses we're ex-
amined, and it is plain that the charge
was without foundation. He is known on
the water front as ''the crazy barber"
The board went into executive session,
which did not last long. After adjournme t
it was announced that Officer Charles
Wsugaman had been dismissed from the
force, while Corporal Cockrill was exoner-
ated of the charge against him,

TIE COURT ERRED.
A Retrial Ordered of the Ancient
Wheeler. Bolton Case.

The celebrated case of Margaret C.
Wheeler against James r. Bolton now
dead, which has been before the courts for
many years, aud has been three times to
the Supreme Court, has been seat back TO
the Superior Court for retriaI About $780,
900 Is involved.
Mr.. l.. Carman, Mrs. Wheeler's husband
died in this city In 1850. leaving an estate
which contained a tract of land of seventy
two acres in the vicinity of Mission and
Twenty-thirdfstreetS to which he had made
claim. About thirty acres of this land was
to the west of the San Jose road and in an
other grant. The remainder was included
between Howard street and San jose
avenue, Iwenty-secOnd and Twenty-fourth
streets. There was still another claim
which made complication OF affairs.
Bolton was executor of the estate and had
bought the Santilan Ranch, which embraced
over three square leagues, and included
Carman' 5 property, a fact OF which Carman
was aware. Bolton, after CarmanIs death,
sold the Santillan claim for $500 900, allow
ing Carman's claim to pass from his pos
session, and when the widow demanded an
accounting OF the property Bolton could
give none, alleging that the property was
lost through no fault of his. She sued for
S400 600 damages, and obtained Judgment
for $4,000, as it was held that the seventy
two acres claimed by Mrs. Wheeler were
worth $4,000 when they passed into his
charge, and compound interest was added
Bolton asked for new trial. and being
refused appealed to the Supreme Court,
which yesterday decided that the lower court
erred in taking the value Of seventy-two
