Morosco's 0pera-House.

ga Barrel of Money" is rather a depar-
ture from Morosco's usual style of per-
Torrance, as it partakes of the farce
comedy nature. However, it gave some
members of the stock company an oppor-
tunity of showing their versatility.
Miss Hall, who is accustomed to play
the oppressed and depressed heroine, made
a very bright little tom-boy, without being
at all loud or coarse; in fact her Roxy
carried the whole performance and kept
the fun going the whole time. The late
Villains place was very fairly taken by
Fred J. Butler as Harrison Swift, while W.
L. Gleason looked the part of perfect
wreck to perfection.
The most telling scene was where the
manager of the mill, about to blow the
building up with dynamite, was stopped
by Roxy, who seizes the bomb and throws
it into a barrel of water. The villain in
turn seizes her, and, fastening her to the
hand of the mill, sets the machinery going.
Just when the audience expect to see her
mangled before their eyes her lover rushes
to the rescue and the curtain falls on a
grand tableau.
Miss Halls dresses were particularly
pretty and the staging of ga Barrel of
Money" was good. George Augustus and
his ina" caused some merriment, though
the ina" was overdone.

Miss MorrissY,s Rsosntion,

Miss Tillie Morrisey's admirers turned
out in great numbers to welcome her back
to the Orpheum last night. 1t is about
four years since this popular singer ap-
peared in San Francisco, and the Elks and
other friends seized the opportunity to
give her an ovation.
The Golden Gate Lodge of Elks No.
were there in body, most of them escort
ing ladies. The following gentlemen COM
posed the reception committee: John E.
Chretien, chairman; @. w. Nevin, J. P.
Dunno, II. V. Schlam, J. H. Bantield, j.
o. Refs, ex-officio exalted ruler.
When Miss Morissey appeared she was
greeted with applause loud and prolonged
from the crowded bouse. She sang at
Was Thus to Be" very prettily and in re-
Spouse to laundering encore rendered a
yodling lullaby, after which numerous
floral tributes were heaped upon the stage,
amony them being Tyre seven feet high,
from the Elks. This was adorned with
streamers bearing the four notices of the
order, which were fastened with hand
somely engraved glass medallions. When
this had been presented the fair singer
sang "Auld Lang Syne," to the great sat-
isfaction of her hearers.
Redding and Stanton appeared in a new
playlet, ga Pair of Lunatics," which was
smartly acted, though its ending was so
abrupt as to suggest the pruning-knife.
Mcbride and Flynn appeared in some
comical Irish specialties and aroused con-
siderable laughter. Several old artists, as
well as Stanton and Redding, who came
on again and won favor, were the Binns,
Stewart, the Electric Quartet, etc.

COMEDY AT MoRosCo's.
Singer - SVengalis
Wig.

Emmett and his company began their
second weeks performance OF "Fritz In
Madhouse" at StockwelPs Theater last
night. The play is bright and amusing
and it receives on the whole such salts
factory rendering that. as might have been
expected, there was large house present.
Several new songs were introduced, and.
although there was no change in "Fritz in
Madhouse," Emmett and clever little
Baby Sinnot received the usual liberal
amount of applause and the clever charac-
ter actor Harry Liston won the approval
of the audience as before. This actor plays
the part OF a half-educated Englishman,
and it is only in accordance with his care
full and finished acting that his accent
should be wonderfully correct.
The dialects of the stage, as rule, are
fearful and wonderful things, resembling
ANYTHING rather than the tongue they are
supposed to copy. The usual Cockneyisms
of the American stage, for instance, have
about as much resemblance to the tongue
that prevails among the real 'Arrys and
'Arriets of East London as the futile at
tempts of English actors, who want to
play a down-eastern part, have to the
language "as she is spoke" IN the New
England States.
'Fritz in a Madhouse" runs all this
week at Stockwell's, after which the thea
ter will be closed till its formal opening as

contrary to the usual order of things he
will have an opponent in his second officer,
Lieutenant-C Colonel H. P. Bush.
According to the talk among the regi-
mental officers Colonel Sullivan lis sure of
again being elected to his present position,
for he can count on at least four of the
seven companies of the regiment besides
on one of the majors. Lieutenant-Colone
Bush is an ex-captain of Company H and
Sullivan's supporters concede this COM
pany to him in order to give him in per-
spective all possible votes. He is also con-
coded the votes from Companies q and g,
the Nationals, as it is understood that on
account of his efforts to get the
seven companies into the same
would deprive the Nationals of the
use of their armory on Ellis street, Colonel
Sullivan is not in much favor with the OIL
GERS of those companies. These two COM
panies are therefore also conceded to
Colonel Bush. Major Burdick, the junior
battalion commander, will also vote for
Colonel Bush, but this, so the officers say,
makes up his whole strength in the regi-
ment. 1t includes ten votes. From the
other four companies and Major Jansen
Colonel Sullivan feels sure of thirteen
votes, and consequently of his position.
Colonel Bush's term as Lieutenant
colonel will expire early next month, and
snouId ne prove unsuccessful In his cand1-
dacy for the commanding officers posi-
ton it may go hard with him in his own,
for there will certainly be an opponent
against him for his present place should he
desire it again. The individual who will
run against him is not definitely known,
but it will probably be one of the senior
staff officers of the regiment. Colonel
Bush is now East, but before his departure
he formally notified Colonel Sullivan of
his intentions regarding the position of
commaning officer of the regiment.

IA Country Sport"

Peter Daley and his clever company are
still proving drawing attraction at the
California Theater. Several new songs
were introduced last night, and it was in
tended to produce a short burlesque on
'Trilby" into the last act. The wig-make1
proved faithless, however, and Daley, de-
claring that Svengali's strength, like Sam
sons, lay in his flowing name. preferred to
defer the burlesque to appearing minus
his flowing locks. 1t is expected that the
wig will be there tonight and that nc
other untoward accident will happen to
prevent the first San Francisco appearance
of "Trilby."

Argon and bacteria.

A French scientist is making investiga-
tons regarding the part the newly discov-
cred gas "argon" plays toward bacteria.
The new gas which has so long been part
of our atmosphere without our knowing it,
has been combined with oxygen, hydrogen,
chlorine, phosphorus, sulphur, potassium,
sodium and many other elements without
any result. So far as the scientist can as
certain, ''argon" has no effect chemically
upon the higher animals. 1t may, how
ever, be necessary to the nourishment of
bacteria, and this is what he proposes to
find out.
Surprising "argon" not to be necessary
to man and necessary to bacilli, steriliza-
ton will be rendered much easier and the
door be opened to all sorts of bacteriologi-
cal possibilities.-New York World.

DOUBLE MURDER REVIVED.
LaWton'S Suit for Divorce
ReopenS the Forgotten
Tragedy.
The Accused Woman Has Filed a
CroSS-Charge and Is Making
Stubborn Fight.

The old story of the double killing on
May Z, 1892, on Connecticut street, Potrero,
resulting from the alleged infidelity of the
wife of the man whose brother lost his life,
was revived in Judge Sanderson's court
when the case of Michael Lawton VS.. Mrs.
Mary Lawton was called yesterday.
Nawton, who was employed by the Union
Iron Works, was keeping house on Con-
necticut street, and had as boarder Ed :
ward Daley, also employed by the same
firm. Lawton confided to several of his
friends that his wife was intimate with his
boarder, and on the morning of May Z,
1892, took his brother John, Fred Klinck
and John and Frank Carroll to his home
to witness acts which would prove his
statement. The party was warned by Law
ton when to appear on the scene by the
pushing of lath through hole in the
side of the house.
AS soon as the signal was given the men,
led by John Lawton and Frank Carroll,
broke open the door of the room occupied
by Edward Daley. Three shots were heard
and John Lawton dropped dead, Frank
Carroll fell back mortal1y wounded, and
the third bullet was imbedded in the wall.
Carroll died few days later. Daley was
convicted of manslaughter and sentenced
to three years at San Quentin. All of these
facts came out yesterday in the application
of Michael Lawton that he be given an alb
solute divorce from his wife Mary.
AS soon as the application was filed Mrs.
Lawton applied for temporary alimony, on
the ground that counter-charges would
warrant the final decree of the court award
ing her permanent support. She was
allowed $40 per month by Judge Sander
son, but Lawton failed to pay and was i'm
prisoned for contempt of court.
Mrs Lawton has entered counter-charges
of extreme cruelty and is fighting the case.
Testimony for the plaintiff was partially
heard and the defendant will present her
side of the story to-day.

abbreviated, the business runs with perfect
smoothness and everything is now going

scene in the native village.
The beach scene is also extremely pic
turesque. All the strength of the Tivoli
company is in requisition and the extrava-
ganza promises to meet with continued
popularity.
