SHE WILL NOT Be A HEBE,
Miss Marian Nolan, the "Cali.
fornia Venus" and Her
Picture.
It Won't Come Forth From a Slot.
Machine at the Dropping of
a Nickel.

Miss Marian Nolan, the model of the
california Venus of which Frona Eunice
Waite dreamed, and which Rupert Schmid
modelled, will not be associated with
whisky samples if there is a law in the
State by which woman can copyright
her charms.
The local agents 6f a Pittsburg liquor
firm recently placed Miss Nolan's picture,
with those of other celebrities, in num-
Der of slot-machines. With these works
of art were tiny bottles of the Pittsburg
liquid.
A nickel dropped in the affair would
bring out the beautiful Venus of Califor-
mia, not exactly with the nectar in her
hand, like Hebe, the water-girl of Mount
Olympus, but would come sliding down a
little toboggan-chute after her.
Sometimes it would be some other great
parsonage that would appear promptly at
the drop of the Nickel bringing the inspir-
ing draught of old rye. Miss Nolan's pro-
totype of Milo would occasionally show up
in all her large-waisted though strictly
classical beauty, and often Sandow, with
elephantine charms amply displayed,
would come before the public. Grecian
Leda, full breasted like the swan she
loved, and Jim Corbett would follow each
other down the chute with their little bot
ties behind them. Even Mr.. Lexow came
down with his drink spiritus fermenti and
Queen Victoria plunked heavily out of the
toboggan when the nickel went rolling
into the bowels of the machine. Mother
Eve, Grover Cleveland, DIANA Mr. Tai
mage, Lottie Collins, Twilight, Dawn,
Psyche and Governor Budd would issue
from the machine, and it is not known
g 4Hor =
Miss Collins, who is an adept in the nim-
bic art.
However, Miss Nolan objected to her il
lustrious company and the little bottles
and sent her attorney, Joseph Rothschild,
after the whisky man. He informed the
Pittsburg liquor people that the California
Venus objected to the nickel-in-t slot
use of her picture and considered herself
damaged to the extent of $250O The
agent was given till yesterday evening to
settle the case or suit would be imme-
diately begun against him.
Charles s. Peery, attorney for the Pitts
burg firm, stated yesterday that all the
Nolan pictures had been removed from the
machines.
"They were first furnished by the printer
without names" said he, land the agent
did not recognize Miss Nolan. The lady
undoubtedly has proprietary interest in
her own picture, but upon the question OF
damages it is worthy of mention that the
representation has been circulated pro-
misculously, and that in her business as
an artists model this is probably the best
advertisement she has ever had. The
picture shows her as q perfect model and
in nowise disparages her many charms.
Still the whisky company was absolutely
in ignorance as to who she was when the
cut was made and had no desire to dis
tribute the picture against her wishes. As
to the damages demanded, why, we won't
pay it,"
So the California Venus will go to law
before she will pose as Hebe, the classical
waitress to Pittsburg whisky firm.

SUBURBAN PROGRESS.
Redwood City, MenlO Park and PaIo
Alto Residences to Be Lighted
With Electricity.

The convenience of electric lights will
soon be supplied to the beautiful resi-
dences that adorn Redwood City, Menlo
Park and Palo Alto. The business dis
trict of Redwood is already we'll lighted with
electricity, but the new plant will supply
the dwelling houses with illumination.
A few days ago Charles Josselyn OBJ
tanned estimates on a gas-lighting propo-
sition from Joseph Crockett of the San
Francisco Gas Company. Hearing of this
Mr.. Gardiner, who put in the electric
plant at Berkeley, called on Mr.. Josselyn
and said: Il have been arranging to put
in an electric plant to light the residences
of Redwood City, but if you are going to
introduce gas l do not care to proceed fur
ther"
Mr.. Josselvn said all he wanted was
light, and if assurance was given that the
electric plant would be established without
delay he would abandon the scheme TO es-
lablish gas works.
Mr. Gardiner announced that he had the
money and experience to carry out his
plan for introducing electric light to the
houses in that region, and for proof as to
his ability and sincerity referred to an
electric company of San Francisco. In
quiry on the point elected the intelligence
that Gardiner knew what he was about,
and would have the plant in position to
supply Redwood City within thirty days.
1t is the purpose also to extend the system
to Menlo Park and Palo Alto. This was
accepted as entirely satisfactory to all par
ties concerned.
Now the people of Redwood want fast
and frequent trains to and from San Fran
cisco, and their wants will probably be
satisfied, as the towns along the line of the
road, from this City to San Jose, are con-
stantly growing in population and pres

A War in Passenger Business
Is Started by the Steamer
Line.
TICKETS ARE SOLD FOR SIS.
The Southern Pacific Would Not Make
Any Concession and the Fight
Is On.

A war in passenger rates was started
yesterday between the Southern Pacific
Company and the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company in the business be-
tween San Francisco and Portland. And
now S. will pay travellers way to Port
land.
1t may be that the rate will go still
lower, for the fight has been only fairly
started. II fact, representative OF the
Oregon corporation stated yesterday that
such action was under contemplation, and
as his company relies mostly on freight
for its income from the steamers possibly
ticket can be bought as low as 81 80 be-
fore the next steamer sails Wednesday.
The Southern Pacific introduced Port
land special" October 81, to run only on
the days of the steamers sailing. This
was on the face of it clean case OF COM
petition for passenger travel to the North
west, and it has proved quite success.
The Oregon Railway and Navigation Com
pany remained passive for three weeks TO
ascertain the effect of this latest competl-
ton with its special rates OF $40 second
class and $40 first class, including Pull
man berths.
Receiver Mcneil discovered that the
steamer business had fallen off consider
ably, and in order to protect the interests
of his company he decided to come to this
City and submit plan of arbitration to
the Southern Pacific. Accompanied by
General Passenger Agent w. II. Hurlburt
and General Freight Agent B. Campbell,
he came to this City Thursday.
Conferences were held that day and Fri
day with Vice-President j. G. Stubbs OF
the Southern Pacific, but instead of result
| ing in some kind of agreement 1t is under
stoud that the deliberations were any
thing but pleasant, and only served to
widen the breach Late Friday afternoon
the last meeting broke up. Mr.. Stubbs
explained shortly after that another con-
| ference would be held next morning.
I'VE are still considering the question"
said he, "and will meet again. Then L
shall be in position to say what we may
have done"
But that meeting was never held. In
stead of conferring again with Mr.. Stuhbs,
the gentlemen from Portland held a meet
ing OF their own with the result that war
was declared yesterday morning. The first
notification that a cut had been made was
when a sign was displayed outside the
Oregon Railway and Navigation office
on Montgomery street that rates for pas
sengers to Portland on the steamer had
been reduced from $40 to S. for second
class and SIS to 81 so tor first class, includ-
ing, of course, berth and meals.
Word was quickly taken to the Southern
Pacific offices and in half an hour sign
was displayed bearing the information
that rates on the Portland special" were
reduced from $40 to 81 so second class, and
from $50 to SIS first class.
The steamer makes the trip in about
fifty hours and the train in thirty-six
hours. Every fifth day steamer leaves
for Oregon and simultaneously the Oregon
special moves out of the Oakland depot.
The Southern Pacific cut will go into effect
next Tuesday.

CAROLINE LITTLE SANG,
The Successful Appearance Of
a Young California
Vocalist.
Carr.Beel Saturday Popular Con.
cert in Golden Gate
Hail.

Lovers of classical music mustered in
force at the Carr-Beel concert in Golden
Gate Hall yesterday afternoon. The pro-
gramme was, as usual, an excellent one,
and the appearance OF Miss Caroline Little,
a young California vocalist who has just
returned from studying abroad, added in
terest to the occasion.
The concert opened with Mendelssohn's
quartet for strings in D. op. A, played by
the Beel quartet in a broad and sympa-
thetic style. The work, particularly the
first movement, is longer than quartets by
end of the century composers, but the
rendering given to it prevented the Men
defssohn number from losing for mo-
ment its hold on the interest of the audi
ence.
Edward Germans elegant suite for flute
and piano, written for the recent Leeds
festival, was performed for the first time
in San Francisco yesterday by Mrs. Carr
and Louis Newbauer. The work was re-
ceived with unGoubted favor, the applause
of the audience being warmest after the
charming waltz movement and the dash
ing Gypsy Dance" Messrs. Beel and
Heine played Leonard-Servais' duo for
violin and cello charmingly, the finale of
the last movement, where the rapid pizzi-
cato passages had almost the effect of
mandolin and guitar orchestra, received
the most applause.
Miss Caroline Little, the vocalist, created
a most favorable impression. She has a
sweet even mezzo-soprano voice of good
compass and quite as much power as is
needed on the concert platform. The
five songs which she rendered showed
that this young lady excels particu--
larly as an Interpreter of German
'lieder." The Germans are the greatest
song-writers in the world, even though the
Russians and the Scandinavians are be-
ginning to run them hard for the palm.
1t follows that to sing lied well is more
than o valuable art to a vocalist.
Surprisingly few artists trained in the
Italian or French schools can enter at all
into the spirit of a song by Schumann or
Franz, for instance. Miss Little evidently
possesses this gift, as her singing of Paul
Frommer's "Der Kafer und die Blume"
showed. Both in this work and in Mo-
zart's "Das Veilchen" there was a sympa-
Lhetie Interpretation of the music as well

THE DRAMA IN SAUSALITO.
An Amateur Performance for St. Mary's
Church.


Church.
On Saturday, the 23d, the clever farce
comedy, "The Arabian Nights,' will be
given by an amateur company in Sausalito
Hall, for the benefit of st. Mary's Catholic
Church. The entertainment was instituted
by Mrs. T. w. Harrison and will open
with concert solo by Mr.. Louis Harrison,
vocal solo by Mrs. 1. T. Bruce and few
other numbers. Then the play, which has
created much interest IN Sausalito social
circles, will decide how great or how little
is the dramatic talent of the rising genera
tion of the Marin County seaport.
The company, under the direction of
Dan O'Connell. assisted by Mrs. Harrison,
has been rehearsing most industriously,
and if they do not give positively brill
liant performance it will not be for a lack
of hard and conscientious work. The cast
of the play is as follows:
Mr.. Hummingtop, Herbert Martin; Ralph
OTerod, Robert Harrison; Joshua Gilliband, ].
Shearin; Dobson, viii Haley; Mrs. Gillibrand,
Miss Kate Gorman Mrs. Hummingtop, Miss
Kate Harmon; Daisy Maitland, Miss
Mamie Cobb; Barbara, Miss Bertha Wosser;
Rosa Columbia, Miss Gypsy O'Connell.
1t is not decided as yet by the manage
ment whether they will charter tug from
San Francisco to accommodate the City
contingent; but they anticipate that the
hall will be scarcely large enough to con-
tain the delegations expected from San
Rafael and Mill Valley.
The San Francisco call., 1895-11-17

as an excellent technique shown. The
one trifing criticism that could be made
is that the young lady showed a slight
tendency to staccato her notes TOO much.
"Love's Young Dream" was charmingly
sung. but Miss Little's voice impostation,
which is SO admirably studied to lieder,
is not quite SO we'll adapted to the more
snowy, meretricious style of Italian song.
This was particularly apparent in Paisi-
ellos "Nel cor piu non mi Sento." S. Mar
chests ala Follett'' was prettiiy and
daintily sung by the young vocalist.

John Goetze is suing to have the mar
riage of himself and Dora Winters an
nulled on the ground that It was entered
into on his part under duress and while he
was under age.
He says in his complaint that he was ac-
Gus of betraying the girl, and her father
threatened to shoot him or to have him
indicted by the Grand Jury if he did not
marry her. A member of the Grand Jury
told him, he said that he would surely be
inoicted if he did not marry the girl; so
being beset on all sides, he finally agreed.
His mother gave her consent to the mar
riage in these words:
I'm order to avoid scandal and violence,
l consent that license shall issue to my
son John for the marriage Of himself and

The young man is of age and he wants
to get free. He SAYS he has not lived with
his wife since their forced marriage.
