The liens are in favor of Williams,

These liens aggregate $i94.4o. There
is also an attachment levied in favor

The Past Obllterated.

George Hunter, aged 10 years, has re-
sided in this city since his birth. Today
he has no idea as to where is located the
house in which he was born. He does
not know where to find the house in
which he resided year ago, shortly be-
fore he entered Oakland hospital. The
young man has lost his memory. and the
past to him is as if he had just been
born. The loss of memory is due to an
injury sustained Ey being struck by a
heavy piece Of iron which was thrown
by q stationary engine. The skull was
fractured, and large part Of it was
pressed upon the brain. Hunter survived
the operation, and although he is still in
an unfortunate condition, his physicians
seem to think he will eventually regain
his faculty Of mem0ry.-San francisco

THE THEATRE.
Robert Downing. Version Of ..fae Nladia.

tor"
The sterling American tragedian.
Robert Downing. presented the
.'Gladiator" at Harper's theatre last
evening to an audience, which con-
sidcring the unpropitious weather.
was of fair size. While the gifted
actor and his beautiful and accom-
plishcd wife. Eugene Blair, and an
unusually strong supporting COM
pany, headed by Edmund Collier.
gave an admirable performance, peo-
pie who expected presentation of
The Gladiator" in its accepted in
depreciation were disappointed. Mr..
Downing's version of the tragedy we
fear Omits some of the most essen
tial features of the production: in
deed, it is very much like "The
Gladiator'with the gladiator omitted.
The scene in the arena is altered I'M
til it becomes merely incidental TO
the action of the play. instead Of its
chief act, and the sword combats are
all dropped. and the tragic incidents
are adopted from ..Virginius" rath-
er than The Gladiator" the pro-
duction consuming fully an hour
less in its presentation than the
original Gladiator"
From the standpoint of artistic and
classic merit, there is no occasion for
criticism. a better or more evenly
balanced company never having been
seen here before.
