SALVINI IS HERE.
The Annual Tour of the
Great Actor.
and Recreation in His Native
Land.

Alexander Salvini will arrive In this
city this morning from Portland. Or,
where he and his company have played o
very successful engagement.
The company left New York City Oc-
Minneapolis, Duluth, Fargo. Helena,
Butte, Spokane, Seattle. Tacoma and
Portland.
After an engagement in San Francisco
Salvlni and his company will play an east.
ward tour, which will embrace nearly all
the leading cities in the southern part of
the United States.
This constant moving on" takes good
deal of the glamor off the romance that is
supposed TO attach TO a theatrical life, but
after the hurry and rush Of the season is
over. Salvini has a way for taking rest
that is refreshing and invigorating.
During the summer he will be found in
his beloved Italy al the guest of his Illus
trious father. or at the famous resorts of
France and Switzerland.
1t was IN the latter country that the
actor got his scholastic training, very
thorough one, which is shown in his re-
markable linguistic mpIishments. He
is able not only TO read and speak. but TO
play in four languages besides English.
His father. Tamasso Salvini. has retired
from the stage and he Is now considered
one Of the weslthiest landowners in Italy.
On one of his farms. a tract OF seven
square miles, 1t is SAID no less than 100
families are living, A great part of the
elder Salvinps wealth was the result of
his American tours, SO 1t is but natural he
should have grateful remembrance of the
stars and stripes and that his son should
adopt the American stage instead of that
of his native land.

Gus, Is not necessarily fatal. She was
perfectly conscious and did not appear to
suffer much pain.
Domestic infelcty is attributed as the
cause of the attempt TO take her life. She
was married to w. S. Taylor of the Ven
dome saloon, 80 Gearv street, at st. Johns
Episcopal Church on November 5.
On Saturday her mother. Mrs. Holman
of Petaluma, and her youngest sister came
to the city on visit to the newly married
couple. That night she took her mother
and sister to the California Theater, and

saying he had some business TO attend TO
at the saloon. Mrs. Taylor followed him
shortly afterward. and at the saloon they
had several drinks together. ending in
quarrel and statement on her part that
she would not live with him again.
She went with the bartender to the Sher-
man House and slept with his wife all
night. Yesterday morning Mrs. Holman
went to the saloon and found Taylor
asleep on the lounge. She aroused him.
and together they went to the Sherman
House.
There they found Mrs. Taylor. The
husband and wife had some angry words
and she rushed into another room. where
a revolver was lying in the bureau, seized
the revolver and fred the bullet into her
breast.
At the hospital she said her husband
had been drinking heavily, and she begged
of him TO keep sober while her mother was
visiting them. When they left the theater
she saw that he had been drinking, so
when he did not stay home, bat returned
to the saloon, she made up her mind to fol-
low him and induce him 10 return home
In the saloon he slapped her face. and that
was why she went to the Sherman House.
Her only reason for shooting herself was
because he slapped her face.
Taylor called at the hospital yesterday
afternoon and told different story He
said his wife had not been faithful to her
marriage vows, which led to recrimiua-
tons between them. On Friday she made
sworn declaration before a notary ad-
hitting her guilt. so that he could get
divorce from her, but on Saturday they be-
came recouciled and he tore up the aft
davit.
He denied that he slapped her face or
said any harsh words to her on Saturday
night or yesterday morning.

wife abont seven months ago. l was sent
for to attend her, as she had attempted
suicide. l brought her round and l mar
ried her on November 8.
"She is twenty-five years of age and has
attempted 10 emu her NE several times.
Once she cut the arteries In her wrist with
the object of bleeding to death, and at
other times she has tried to poison herself
with cocaine and other drugs. She is pos
sessed of a suicidal mania. and it WAS
never safe TO leave any drug lying around
for fear she would swallow it, Practically
she is drug 6end."
Taylor had the appearance of suffering
from the effects of heavy drinking. He
had brief Interview with his wife. aud
afterward her loquacity deserted her and
she refused to talk.
Mrs. Taylor was removed TO the German
Hospital last night.

TOO MUCH CLARET.
A Representative of the "New Boy"
Gets Very Drunk.

Raymond Milton, boy about Is years
of age, who lives at 212 Mnna street. will
have beautiful head on him this
morning from the effects of an over
indulgence in the cup that inebriates.
Raymond and two other boys. Tom
Fuller and Johnnie Nolan, stood in the
window of the vacant store, 84S Market
street, as living advertisements Of the
New Boy." They wore fiery-red wigs
and enjoyed being stared at by the pass
ers-by.
While RAYMOND was rummaging about
the rear of the store he discovered key
filled with claret. He tasted it and liked
it so much that he poured some into tin
which had been used for holding varnish
and drank it off. Then he called for his
companions and the three filled themselves
up with the claret. 1t had a more power
full effect upon Raymond than upon tho
other two and he soon collapsed and
stretched himself out beside the counter.
Two gentlemen passing were attracted
by the condition of the boys, and they
tried to open the door, but found it
locked They searched everywhere for
some one who had the key. and 1t was
nearly an hour before they found the
business manager of the California Thea
Ter, who had it in his possession. Ray
mond was in such a condition that the
patrol wagon w&s summoned and he was
taken to the Receiving Hospital.
His eyes were bullying out of his head
and he was shaking as if he had the ague.
1t was thought there might have been
poison in the varnish tin, but DIR. Deane
found that Raymond's sole com plaint was
too much claret. He was put to bsd, and
as soon as he felt the effects of the warm
blankets his shaking fit ceased and he
dropped off into profound slum ber

felt.

much as the Mexican officers would like TO

was that a dispatch had been received
