Opera at the Tivnli.


Off enbach's merry opera, Marriage bv Lam
tern" was presented to the irst-nighters at the
Tivoli last night and the house was up to its
customary standard.
The Marriage by Lantern" has no particular
features that will add to the reputation of the
Tivoli. 1t is without any particular interest
although Alice Nielsen and Alice Garlic
do their best to get up an excite
ment by throwing a stock of vegetables
and basket of dry goods at each other TO
show that women have tempers and that thew
can exercise them. Mr. Offenbach in writing
the operetta probably overlooked that the new
woman is not to be deceived into the belief
that carrot is deadly weapon. The libretto
ia neither clever nor is the music catchy. vii
liam West makes all there is out of his part of
Peter, the young farmer, but it is possible of
nothing strong.
Following the operetta was "Cayalleria Rus
tieana." 1t was the saving grace of the even
ing and was well produced. Jack Rafael as
Alto did what he generally does and sang ii as
though he were lifting his voice to some great
creator in praise for the gift He never sang
with so much expression as last night, and he
was well supported by Ida Valerga and Laura
Miilard The music was of the best and added
to the orchestral reputation OF the popular
fa nlilY resort.

ALLEGED Embezzlement,

The preliminary examination of Attorney E.
5. Solomon on the charge of felony embezzle-
ment was commenced before Judge Campbell
yesterday afternoon. The complaining witness
is Mrs. Lydia Virgil, 410 Kearny street. and
the amount involved is $3.50. The money
was given to the defendant in 1890 to lend
out, and he has been paying her 81 per cent
per month since, as he lent the money to him
self. Mrs. VirgiPs examination was not con-
Guided when the case was continued till
tomorrow.

the value and established the good name OF the

At the Baldwin.

''The Passing Show" stopped over in San
Francisco last night and society turned out in
full to see what it stopped for. Throughout
the entire production there is a vein OF satire
and parody that to the fastener, who is
familiar with the original productions, would
seem very funny. 1t may be said with perfect
truth that some of it is very laughable to the
Westerner.
When Mr.. Rosenfeld wrote the piece he very
carefully selected the best that others had
made, and carefully tied it all together with
the thread of The Passing Show He has sue
ceeded IN making combination of effects
which serve the additional purpose of giving
you anything you want and al the same time
1t creates something new in ones mind.
John L. Henshaw at times is clever and quick

OF himself on the stage redeems many of his
vocal shortcomings, but il was whispered that
he had bad cold last night and is all right

particularly those he stars. are good enough
to stay where they are without being
pushed along very hard. John D. Gilbert in

man and lady OF the cheap tneaters," was very

shortcomings OF poetry brought down the

greatly improved, ard was well received
last last night. Her piano playing lacked
the creScendo that seemed to prevail
in some OF the dialogue, but it was full of exc
cution. The Boston Quartet, Gus Pixley es the
offensive bum, Lucy DAILY ana the pickanfnies
were frst-class specalties. while the ever pop
ular Verona Jarbeau is still able TO entertain
and amuse the young and the old. She imper-
sonated Chevalier, the costermonger singer of
London, with the true accent of a coster girl
Madge Leasing Chollie Kid of the Dswdle
Club captivated her audience and society
really livened up when she appeared upon
the stage. Miss Lessing appears to have friends
here.
The play throughout will bear a little reoon-
struction in the matter OF reviving the Eastern
features, many of which are practically un-
known to the faraway West.
AS 1t is now the joke is on the theater in
stead OF the audience, but it is good Joke, so
we can stand it.
All of the costumes are magnificent and the
production is improved with its own scenery.
The choruses are good, and those who want 10

Passing Show before it gets out of sight or
some one "pushes it along"

The political whirligig turns up some
queer things, but when it turned up
Boss Quay as candidate for the repub-
lican presidential nomination it turned
mp something queerer than usual.
When it was first mentioned in Wash
ington that some of the little republi-
can papers in Pennsylvania were boom
ing Quay for the nomination it was re-
garded as sort Of joke on Quay,
sprung by some well-meaning editor
who was seriously grateful for favors
done and hopeful of those yet to come
and who really believed that Quay was
big enough for such on honor. His
candidacy is no longer regarded as q
joke. He is seriously in the field and
has literary bureau working up senti-
ment in his favor, At first glance one
is inclined to say that Quay is throw
ing good money away, so small is his
chance to win, but when one considers
that Quay has made "big government
appropriations and liberal expenditure;
upon all sorts Of internal improvements
the corner stone of his candidacy, and
remembers the success of republicans
in the past who had no other politica'
capital than ''the old flag and an ap
propriation," one doesn't feel so Ger
tain about it. 1t may be that Quay
thought that Tom Reed was having toe

SrAtie dissension and Republican Veto
ries in states heretofore safely demo
cratic. The dissension in the ranks of
the victorious republican party is al
ready marked,aand it is not confined to-
the fight over the presidential candf
date Of the party but includes the poll
cy to be followed by the overwhelming
republican, majority in the house dur
ing the coming session Of congress,
These dissensions even extend to the
tariff question. Senator Sherman late
~ said that he would vote for no bill
amending the tariff that did not pro-
vide duty for wool, and Representa-
tive DalZell, of Pennsylvania, who
may be the next chairman of the house
ways and means committee, says the
tariff is going to be amended and du-
ties raised. Now comes ex-senator
Henderson, of Nebraska, who pointed
lv says: "Ihe republicans can not ai-
ford to open up the tariff question. If
an attempt is made to put a duty on
wool or any other article, every indus
try will rush in and demand more pro
lection This being the situation, il
is natural that democrats should expect
their prospects in the national cam
paIgn to be much improved by existing
discussions in the republican party and
those certain to be engeudered during
the session of congress. As Senator
Mitchell, of Wisconsin, now in Wash.
ington, APPLY puts it, 81 have seen
much darker days than these for the
democratic party. But there was a vi
tai principle in the doctrines of democ
racy which was destined to make the

ANTI.FAT REMEDIES.
Rubbing Recommended to Those Who
Are Too FIeshy.

In the large cities middle-aged wo-
men throng the gymnasium and ply
steal culture schools to learn how to re-
duce the too abundant flesh and keep
off the rheumatism which is often an
accompaniment. The woman who does
her own homework has most of her
muscles called into exercise every day,
and the danger with her is that they
are over exercised; still much relief
can be received by sponging every
night after hard labor with the follow
ing inexpensive lotion Two ounces of
spirits of ammonia, two ounces OF spir-
its of camphor, one and one-half cups
of sea salt, one cup of alcohol and one
quart of rain water.
The woman whose face and throat
are thin can remedy the thinness by
frequent bathing in cool water, and be-
fore retiring rubbing in some good
cream. In rubbing the wrinkles should
be rubbed against, so as to rub them
out, and it is as much in the rubbing
as in the cream. A nice bit Of soft,
white flannel rubbed several times
daily over the face will be beneficial,
and she whose double chin detracts
from her good looks can, byjudiciously
rubbing downward, get rid of the SUI
perfuity. Above all things let the
woman who desires to keep her youth
aud her beauty cultivate a sweet dispo-
sition and her intellect at the same

"While the elections showed great re-
publican victories, they have not dis

Oysters cooked u la Paulette is oneof
the most delicious ways they may be
served. To prepare them put solid
quart of oysters on the stove to boil in
their own liquors AS soon as they be-
gin to boil, skim carefully and turn into
a strainer and when they have been
well drained set them aside. Put half
q pint of the oyster liquor into q sauce
pan and when it begins to boil stir into
it one heaping teaspoonful of -four,
mixed with three tablespoonfuls of cold
water. Boil gently five minutes longer.
Put pint of cream into double boil
er, and when it begins to boil add the
thickened oyster liquor. Season with
salt, pepper, slight grating of nutmeg
and grain of cayenne. Have at hand
the yolks of four eggs, well beaten, and
and add to them half a cupful Of cold
cream, Now add to the cooking mix
ture the oysters, tablespoonful of but
ter and finally the egg mixture. Cook
for thee minutes, stirring all the time.
Then remove from the fire Immediately
