morrow Night.

The Great Violinist Ysaye's Concert To-
morrow Night.
Eugene Ysaye, the celebrated Belgian
violinist, makes his debut at the Baldwin
Theater tomorrow evening. He will be
assisted by Annie Lachaume, the French
pianist, and an orchestra of forty musicians
under the direction of August Hinrichs,
the conductor ofthe Baldwin orchestra.
Ysaye's skill as virtuoso will soon
speak for itself, but for those who rank
artistic work, like any other commodity,
at what it can be exchanged for in dollars,
it may be stated that with the
possible exception of Paderewski his re-
ceipts are supposed to have been larger than
those of any instrumentalist who has visited
this country. Socially Ysaye is to be lion
lied just as he has been in the East, no less
than i've different receptions having al
ready been arranged in his honor.
The programme of his first concert is:

A GREAT TRAGEDIENNE.
Elenora Duse, Who Returns to America
Nnvamhar

Elenora Duse, Who Returns to America in
November
Next November Elenora Duse is coming
back to America, and it has been said that
in all probability she will visit California.
If this is true the San Francisco public
will be given chance to see the woman
whom it is almost safe to call the greatest
living tragedienne. The Italian actress
owes her recognition to the scarcely less
famous actor, Cesare Rossi. Rossi has
generally shown himself to be the friend,
the papa" of the members of his COM
panies. When he has had an earnest, in
telligent young man or woman working
for him, he has never spared himself one
detail of the necessary instruction, and his
help has been material as well as moral.
In 1881 Elenora Duse was Rossi's second
woman; he saw her talent and wanted
to make her famous, and the following
year she was promoted to leading lady in
his company. What battles Rossl had to
sustain for his protegel How slowly she
conquered her audiences, tear by tear and
individual by individual, and how much
she cost in disappointment and advice and
even loss at the boX-otfice to her instruc-
tor But Rossi has never grudged trouble
or money to bring fame to the young
artist in whom he had faith, and Duse is
only one among many who owe large
part of their success to him.
Even to-day the great Elenora does not
conquer her audiences the moment she
steps on the stage. Last summer in Lon
don the critics received her coldly, but be-
fore she had finished her season the gen.
eral opinion was that the dark, quiet Ital-
ian woman, who did not carry all her
emotions on the surface, was greater than
Sarah Bernhard. In Italy they will tell
you that some of the most intense women
are like the volcano of Etna, whose seeth-
ing tumult is hidden by an exterior of
snow.
Duse seems to be one of them. 1t is
only now and then that her emotions leap
up like fire from the crater, and sweep all
before them, but even in her calmest mo-
ments the great tragedienne has the marvel
Gus power of making her audience con-
scious of the fire and passion within.
The thing that she most avoids is effect.
Duse has no elocutionary greatnes knows
not the Vincent Crummels stage stride,
and she dresses simply, and generally in
white. The art with which she moves her
audience, in fact, is so exquisite that it
ceases to impress the audience as art, and
becomes nature itself.

Gan Undertaker's Social" This play is
said to afford opportunities for humorous
specialties.
Foremost among the new performers is
Will II. Fox, the Professionalism, whose
caricature of Paderewski never fails to
arouse plenty of laughter. He accom-
panies his pianistic efforts with humorous
musical talks. Another popular favorite
who will appear at the Orpheum this week
is Meyer Cohen, the California barytone.
Several of last weeks specialists remain
on the bill in new acts and songs, and on
the whole the programme promises to ex-
coed that of last week in popularity.

A Tivoli Production, in Which Rafael Plays

the Hero.
Tomorrow evening the Tivoli manage
ment will produce Charles Lecocq's Hand
and Heart"
This opera will be a novelty to many
San Francisco theater-goers, as 1t is ten
years since it was last given in this city.
At that time it was played simultaneously
by the Abbott company at the BALDWIN
and by the stock company at the Tivoh.
One reason why the melodious work is not
performed more frequently is that several
of the roles are very exacting, particularly
the barytone one. -,
As Don Gaetan John ]. Rafael will
have good opportunity OF sustaining his
popularity as a vocalist, for much OF the
best music in the opera falls to him.
The soprano role will be sustained by
Miss Salinger, while Messrs. Hartman,
Branson, Olmi and Messmer will have
ample opportunities to display their sew
era1 talents. Special attention IS being
given to the choruses and to the details OF
staging "Heart and Hand"

TAKEN TO SACRAMENTO.
Sheriff johnson Has Harry Sandt, the
Alleged Murderer, in His
Charge.

Sheriff I. T. Johnson of Sacramento
came to this City yesterday to get Harry
Sandt, alias ''Shy Red" who is suspected
OF having murdered F. H. L. Weber and
his wife in Sacramento, December 20,
1894. Sandt was arrested Friday by Offi-
Ger McGraw, on notice received by Captain
Lees from Sheriff Johnson that Sandt was
wanted. When Sheriff Johnson arrived In
town yesterday he went Immediately to
the Chief of Policies Office and was then
taken to the City Prison. He there iden-
tined Sandt as the man who was wanted.
nor does he deny that he was In Sacra-
mento at the time of the murder. nor that
he was constantly in company with the
Sprout brothers, who were also suspected
OF the crime. The Sacramento authori-
ties claim to have much better case
against Sandt than they had against the
Sprouts, whom they had to discharge.
Sandt was taken to Sacramento last night.

Albert Chevalier, the best known OF English
music hall singers, and the writer of the
famous "Coster" ballads, is trying to make ar
engagements to come to this country for pro

Clara Morris, who has been "resting" fol
some time, has not retired from the stage, as
has been repeatedly asserted. The footlights
have too many attractions for her, and the an
nouncement is now officially made that she will
go on the road again.
Reginald de Koven and Harry B. Smith have
selected ''The Tzigane'' as the title for their
new opera, with which Lillian Russell is going

however, have severely criticized the lack of

scene-the rescue scene-is a clumsy adapta-
ton of "The Siege of Lucknow"

when the situation was most thrilling.
The chief events in the theatrical world
for the coming week will be the appear
ance of Ysaye, the famous violinist, at the
Baldwin Theater, and the opening of the
Colum bia Theater with the Frawley stock
company.
So few of the great artists who make
phenomenal successes in the East come as
far as California in the first flush of their
popularity, that the advent of Ysaye be-
comes an event of unusual interest If his
reception is commensurate with his fame,
his example will doubtless be followed by
other great artists, and California may
have less reason to complain that the

Beulah Land.

We're getting on in years, Jane, two, who started
So bravely on lfes journey, when the world was
bthe and gay;
can hardly tell, my darling, how the thing has
come about,
But find myself beginning to live in yester-
day.
There's bald spot my head. Jane, and the frost
is sitting down
White drifting SLOW of winter on the fringe
above my brow,
And your bonny locks silver that a
golden brown.
Yet you never were so queenly, Jane, so beautiful
now.
But " Hurry up, old lady" the car conductors
Step lively, please, old gentleman" and young
folks offer seats.
And we discover in ourselves, when treated in this
way,
cold and naughty anger, or quick rest ntful
heats
Then we've learned to love corner by the chin
ney's blaze at night
We are not always ready for the sleghing or the
ice,
That used to call us often forth, our faces smiling
bright,
When mirth and frolic made for youth the flavor
and the spice.
And we've caught the trick of looking with half
respectful awe
At the judges and the doctors whom we used to
know in kits
And we blush at the admission, but our youngest's
word is law
She has but to nod her meaning and our own opn-
ion willis.
Then the small grandchildren rule us; pray do not
deny it, Jane;
We would spoil them with indulgence if they lived
beneath our roof
When the question is of saying no. the little
train,
We once SO sternly resolute, just weakly stand
aloof.
Yes, we're getting OH in year', Jane, but like 1t
very well.
This broad aud pleasant upland to which our steps
have climbed:
ris a restful Beuah country, where delightful peo-
pie dwell,
And the hour of our arrival has been very sweetly
timed.
Here we taste the fruits planted in the mornings
busting haste:
Here we sit awhile at leisure. and make friends
with young and old;
Here re read and talk and ponder, by no hend of
worry chased,
And behind us lies the dusty road, before
evenings gold.
