McFEE OF DUBLIN"
John t. Kelly Makes His Appear
ance at the California.

Mr.. John L. Kelly and his COMPANY.
after a days detention by snow in the
mountains, came to hand all right yester-
day. and opened at the California last
night in the presence of large audience.
The story of the play relates to the adven-
lures of bogus lord and TO his love af-
fairs. Roger O'Mara kelly impersop ates
Lord McFee in order to win the affections
of prima donna worth a quarter Of mil
lion. The prima donna being away she is
impersonated by her maid. so the valet,
O'Mara, courts the maid after all, each
thinking the other person of coDse-
Quence. The real lord comes along and
so does the real prima donna. Lord Nc
Fee discovers the trick, but has Roger
keep it up, as he is wanted by the English
police on account of duel. The real lord
is engaged 10 the prima donna and the air
is full of complications.
The play was written by Charles T.
Vincent and Mr.. Kelly in collaboration,
and has been a fayorite wherever pro-
duced. Kelly is capital delinpator of
Irish character, with brogue as juicy as
the bog OF Allan. He makes good deal
out of the part of the valet, O'Mara, and
keeps the house in rOars of laughter by
his Hibernian peculiarities and native
wit.
The supporting companyis very strong
one, including Florrie West, brilliant
and dashiDg oubrette-althougb on ac-
count OF the length of her train she took a
tumble to herself on the stage last night
Adelaide Randall, an excellent prima
donna; Harry Kelly, son of the star and
q clever young comedian, and others.

CHORAL SOCIETY.
The First of Series of Con-
certS.

The FIRST OF series or Con-
certS.
The first of a series of concerts to be
given by the California Choral Society
took place last evening in the lecture
room of the California and Broderick
streets Methodist church. The announce
ment that Chevalier de Kontski, the cele.
brsted pianist, had accepted an invitation
to take part in the programme was suffi-
cient to assure a crowded house. and the
many who came late were compelled to re-
main standing throughout the entire per-
torrance.
The Choral Society opened the pro-
gramme with double selection. (a) "Star
of Descending Might" by Emerson; o.
Webbe's swiftly From the Mountains
Brow" The deafening applause which
greeted the rendition OF these pleasing Sc
lections was sufficient evidence of their
appreciation by the audience. In consider
ing the brief existence of this society and
the difficulties under which it has labored
since the time of its organization the state
of proficiency to which its members have
arrived is creditable, to say the least.
Marked precision and colOring EN- phasiZed
their well-selected choruses.
The conductors Professor W.R. Hervey,
who has had the singers Id charge since
their organization.
Among other selections rendered by the
society during the evening were The
Mller's Wooing," by Fauning, and Goun-
obs celebrated Might" each of which
was equally well rendered.
1t is needless TO cTltIciZe the rendition of
Chevaler de Koutski's awakening of the
Lion" and his original tran scIiptiOn from
Faust" as both were played in his accus-
toned remarkable manner and evoked
tremendous applause.
Professor W. r. Hervev sang a compo-
stion of Chevalier de Kontski's, entitled
Seville Love Song," in a most pleasing
manner. Professor Hervey is pupil of
the famous Lamperti Of Milan, and DOS
sesses a rich tenor voice of remarkable
fiexibility. His lower notes are especially
notable. although he usss the upper regis
ter to excellent advantage and shows signs
Of exceptionally good training.
The rest OF the programme consisted of
solos, all of which deserve much praise
and a male quartets rendition of a medley
was Of such a charming nature that an
encore was demanded.
The second concert of the series will
probably take place on March g.

a detective followed him from Los An
geles, and on presenting himself TO Chief

known to Brooks, would endeavor to find

Creamery on Market street, and one night

MS pocket and was satisfied that the
waiter who took his order was Brooks. He
intended TO place him under arrest when

tlenty waiting he was chagrined 10 see
the Los Angeles detective walk into the
restaurant and take seat beside him.
AS soon as Brooks saw the Los Angeles

THE LIONS CLAW.
1t Is Driven Into Trainer
Thieman
At Boone's Wild-Animal Show at
Sunset City - The Man
Badly Injured.

Trainer Thieman, employed in Colonel
Boone's wild animal show at the Midwin-
ter Fair, was attacked by one of the lions
and was badly lacerated last night.
ThiemRn had released the lions from the
cage which is in the space between the
arena ana the wall of the building and
was driving them to the passage leading to
the arena, in which Colonel Boone was
waiting TO make them perform their sew
eral tricks.
Suddenly the light near this passage was
eXtin guished. A moment after one of the
lions known as "Parnell" made spring
upon Thisman and felled him to the floor.
His cries for help drew Colonel Boone to
his assistance. and upon his appearance
the animal was cowed and shrunk back
into his cage.
Henry Hamilton. the press agent, ran
TO the emergency hospital on the grounds,
but to his disgust found il closed. He and
others hunted around the grounds for
neatly half an hour TO find physician,
but were unsuccessful. Then the patrol
wagon was summoned and Thieman was
taken to the Receiving Hospital.
When stripped on the operating-table his
body presented horrible sight. There
were four lacerated wounds in the head,
in one of which the skull was exposed, one
in the armplt, one immediately below the
armpit. and in the back and both arms,
and his left leg was covered with claw
marks and bites.
DR.. Somers and Dr. Simpson dressed
and stitched the wounds and it took them
about an hour and half before they fin
ished their labors. All the time Thi eman
lay in a semi-consciOus condition. and now
and then moan would escape from him,
but not cry of pain. Alth ough some o f
The wounds are serious. none OF them are
con sidereG dangerous.
The attacking animal will be driven
into the arena to-day and if Thiemau is
able to be out of bed he will be taken in
there also. Then the animal will be driven
up to him, made to smell of him and will
be severely flogged.

A LONG SERVICE ENDED.
DIR. Stebbins Attends His Last Meet
ing of University Regents.

fuS Va NSSShtSs
The meeting of the Board of Regents
of the university yesterday closed the long
service of DR.. Horatio Stebbins in that
connection. By the decree of recent law
of the Legislature requiring that only
alumni of the university be appointed to
vacancies occurring in the regency. Gov
ernor Markham appointed Judge Charles
W. Slack to succeed DR.. Stebbns, March l.
With the departure of DIR. Stebbins the
university loses one of its oldest and most
able directors. He has been with il ever
since it was organized, was at one time
trustee of The College of California, out OF
which the university was created, and was
made one of the first Board of Regents so
long ago as 1867. During his time he has
seen the institution grow from tfth-rate
college to the fifth university in rank In
the United States. And. more than that.
he has been one of the chief contributors
to its growth.
For many years, and indeed up 10 very
recent times, he was the dominating char
acter among the regents. 1t Is due In
great measure to his Incorporating
efforts that the university was organized
and has been continued on a strictly nom
sectarian basis. The liberal and c0smO-
pOlitau nature which really lies at the root
of Berkelev's wonderful success and adj
vancement comes largely from DR.. Steb-
bins incu.caton. Judge Slack will sue
coed Dr. Stebbins.

A Statement About the Hotel and
Boarding. iouse Bureau.
A few days since number of circulars
were distI buted on the trains of the
Southern Pacific line. La these there were
attacks upon the Midwinter Fair and
Boarding Bureau, an Organizatio gotten
up fer the purpose Of soliciting guests for
hotels and clearinghouse that are rep
resented on trains and boats by solicitors
sent out by the bureau. The president of
the organization is Will f. Fisher of the
well-knoWD real estate firm of Fisher &,
Co. The officials OF the railroad company
found that these circulars were so much at
variance with the real objects OF the
bureau that an order was given that their
circulation should no longer be tolerated
To correct Impressions that may have
been created by the publication of the fact
that such circular was in existence il is
only necessary to state that the hotel. and
houses represented by the Midwinter Fair
Hotel and Boarding Bureau have not
raised their prices one cent, and instead
of only three hotels. as stated, the company
represents between thirty and forty ho-
tells, commercial and family, the best in
the city, as well as cheaper grades. AS
surance is given that no combination to
advance prices was ever intimated, nor
would it be tolerated. representations
