1t was rumored on the streets yester-

across the river Saturday night and
dropped in on Yolo banquet. There
was rather rough crowd in attendance,
some of the members of which. so the
story goes, essayed to "bounce" the ath-

them, and for a while the fur flew wildly.
There were too many of the Yoloites,
however, and the bouncing is said to
have been a success.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing Frederick Warde, the distinguished
tragedian, viii begin a season in which,
supported by an excellent troupe, he Will
present 1.-The Lions Mouth" Virgin
ius," and "The Mountebank." Tonight,
1.-The Lions Mouth" 1t is romantic
four-act drama by Henry Guy Carleton.
The story takes a period and place IN
which everything is possible. Venice;
when the people were beginning TO rebel
against noble and priestly tyranny; en-
ice, where young fancy needed only Il
look, sigh, q handclasp, TO become a
passion as strong as that or Romeo anu
Juliet; Venice, where the crushing power
of the secret accusation, the secret trlGu-
nal and the secret condemnation was most
powerful-tIiat is the Venice that one sees
in the play.
The San Francisco Examiner said of
Mr.. Warde when he played III the piece IN
that city: "Mr. Narde himself has very
congenial role-one in which his fine
stage presence, his dignity of manner,
his unfailing earneStneSs of purpose, his
admirable speech and his dramatic force
all tell. He made love to Linora like
whirlwind- one that could WOO her
as gently as the softest summer zephyr
upon occasion. He was gentle to his
friends, loyal to his comrades, brave with
his enemies, and generous to those who
would have destroyed him IN exactly
way that an audience likes best"
The NciCS Letter at the same time thus
expressed itself: 1.-THE dignity of blank
verse fits admirably the noble and heroic
character of sentiment and action, and Is
as nobly and heroically rendered by MIR.
Warde. The tragedian's personatlon or
the young hero-loVer is so full Of the fiery
impetuosity of youth, as we'll as Of manly
no md racO1rtinfD oc tn
his ardent admirers, who had found it
difficult to disassociate his name from the
tragic dignity of VirginiuS and the similar
line of characters with which his name is
identified. A closer idealiZation, in APP
pearance, bearing, speech and action OF
one Of the most powerful and fascinating
characters in the recent drama can
scarcely be imagined-certainly not de-
manded.o

Miss George Woodthorpe will appear as

is particularly happy, and in which she
has achieved great success. We have not
seen her in the play, but from familiarity
with her style as an actress we should
say that she will make an admirable
"Fanchon," and that she will prove a
worthy successor to such as Maggie
Mitchell and Alice Kingsbury, the two
best opponents of the role in the earlier
years. Miss Woodthorpe will be sup

THE RENTON WILL.
San Francisco Court Rules
Against Contestants.
LEGAL ADOPTION NOT SHOWN.
The Complaint OF Mrs. sackman and
MRS. Ganney Incomplete and Re-
turned for Amendment.

In the case of the contest Of the will Of
the late William Renton, of Port Blake
ley. the probate court of San Francisco has
given decision, which. so far as it goes, is
adverse to the contestants.
When Captain Renton died last year the
only Will found was dated in 1876, and it
devised all of his large estate to his sis
tiers, The will was entered for probate not
also in the probate court of San Fran
cisco, in which city considerable of
the estate lies There contest
was filed by Mrs. Elizabeth J. Sackman
and Mrs. Mary A. Gaffney. They alleged
that they were the adopted daughters of
Captain Renton. and consequently his
legal heirs. They further alleged that at
the time the will was drawn Captain Rem
ton was incompetent in mind, in short.in-
sane, and that he was thus unfit to draw a
will.
When the case came up in court John A.
Campbell, the executor of the will, did not
bring any witnesses to disprove the allie
cations, but through his counsel put in
demurrer that the contestants did not say
when or how they were adopted, and that
their allegation that they were the legally
adopted daughters was, therefore, incom-
plete as not specifying time or place.
The court has sustained this demurrer
SO the San Francisco papers report-and
has given the contestants ten days in
which to amend their complaint on this
point.
If the complaint is not amended the con-
test will be dismissed. The executor of
the estate holds that no legal adoption
can be proved.
