NOW IT IS SHAKESPEARE,
The Tabers Give a Finished
Performance of GAS You
Like It."
Rosalind Is Ideally Portrayed = Mr..
Taber's Clever Young
Orlando,

There was a difference in the atmos-
phere of the Baldwin Theater last night,
for "Romola' was withdrawn and
Shakespeare was the order of the night.
'.As You Like It" was the play, and a
highly artistic performance the TaDers
gave of it. In the whole range of
Shakesp aare's heroines there is scarcely a
more difficult character to properly pre-
sent than Rosalind. The absolute pur-
ity and delicacy of the character
are apt to degenerate into carelessness,
or to become perverted into hoydenish-
ness in the hands of an artist who has not
a touch of genius. Julia Marlowe Taber
has the necessary qualification for an
ideal Rosalind. AS an eye picture she
was delightful in her russell doublet and
hose and her pomegranate cloak. but what
was more important her Characterization
left little if anything to be desired. She
seized the mischief and daring of Rosa
lind without losing sight of her womanly
tenderness and romance, and in her scenes
with Orlando there was an innocent girl
ishness and abandon which called forth
hearty applause.
Robert Taber was fine. manly young
Orlando; Eugenia Woodward was very
good as Celia; G. w. Anson made an ex-
cellent Touchstone and the rest of the cast
was satisfactory.

The rest of the grand officers, which are
appointed by the grand matron, will be
named at to-day's session.
Sixteen new chapters were given
charters, and one which had failed to
present its papers in proper shape was
given years dispensation.
A motion by the committee on jurisdic-
ton to change the name of Oakland Chap
ter o. E. s. so 1t would not conflict with
the name of a Masonic lodge in that city
was voted down, much to the Joy of that
chapter.

In the evening the Grand Chapter met
in the Masonic Temple, where Golden

tion of the work. The hall was crowded,
about 1000 people being present. Among
those present were all the representatives
to the Grand Chapter from both this City
and the State at large.
After the exemplification of the work,
which evoked warm expressions OF appre-
cIation from the visiting delegates, line
of march was formed to the spacious ban
quet hall, where bounteous feast awaited
the guests.
Mrs. Fannie McCowen, the grand mar
shall, led the line. followed in turn by

The tables were heavily laden with good
things. Flowers were tastefully arran ged
round the hall and at each plate was a
boutonniere.
Toasts were given and speeches made
and everybody departed at last from what
was unanimously termed the most sue
cessful affair of the kind ever held in this
City.

questions of the hour Mr.. Dibble said that
up to few months ago the only issue
in National political circles was protection,
but the Democrats, seeing the eyes of the
people turned toward Mr.. Mckinley, took
up the silver question SO as to divert the
public's attention from the real issue. The
whole East is for protection, and he hoped
that the banner State of the West will
stand for Mckinley and sound money.
Taking up more local subjects Mr.. Dibble
said:

A SMALL MEETING.
Only Seventy Five Attended the
Call for a Pro-Charter Talk.

Only Seventy Five Attended the
Call for a Pro-Charter Talk.
Only seventv-five teachers attended the
meeting in the Girls High School yester-
day afternoon for the purpose of urging
the adoption of the new charter. Elisha
Brooks presided, and the following reso-
luton was submitted as the basis of dis
cussion:
Resolved That it is the understanding of the
teachers here assembled that the present mode
of electing regular teachers in this depart
ment-i. e., without special contracts the
esult OF custom wisely followed and not liable
10 be affected in any way by the adop tom of
the proposed charter; and, further, that for
teachers so elected the good-behavior tenure
is secured by section 1893 of the Political Code
OF California, and the Interpretation thereof
by the courts OF law; that it is our certain be-
lief that this tenure, resting in the general
law of the State, is not antagonized by any
provision OF the proposed charter, and, more
over, by well-established principles of the
commonwealth, cannot be affected by any
Charter or other act of special legislation.
ReSotped further, That il is the sense OF this
assembly that the proposed charter, on the
whole, is d great improvement over existing
conditions OF law and organization, and that
its adoption viii mark ali epoch IN the politi-
cal advancement OF San Francisco, and its re-
lection viii be proof OF apathy and lack of
public spirit; that it is the part of good citi-
zens in the present emergency 10 sink their
personal prejudices IN the larger considera-
tion Of the Cfty's good and that it is our belief
mat all who can come to this point OF view
will be found granting to the proposed re-
organization their hearty support.

publican Club at the Auditorium last
evening, by way of case in point.
Colonel John P. Jackson presided and

he had just returned from tour through
the southern end of the State, and had

Speaking to the audience as Ohioans, he
ran over list of the great names. their
felIow-native sons-soldiers, statesmen
and jurists-of which they had right to
be PROUD. Among the list of Presidents
haiIing from Ohio he placed the name of
Mckinley, and the audience heartily con-

The meeting was called to complete the

dressing you all, ladies and gentlemen, as
fellow-citizens and Republicans" said
Ben B. Haskell, who was intro
duced as young Republican. Mr..
Haskell entertained his audience by
a series of good stories illustrating as
many good points. He advised every man
who believed that Mexico and China were
good countries for this great Nation to
emulate to vote the Democratic ticket.
He ran through the familiar story of sill
yer legislation, and he drew two pictures
of the result of the election-the disaster
that will follow Bryan's success, the cheer
full picture of pros sperity that IS sure to
come with McKinley's election.
Thomas B. O'Brien, candidate for Con-
gress from the Fourth District, was then
introduced.
Mr.. O'Brien made short but telling
speech, laying stress upon the desertion of
the Democratic leaders from the red flag
of Bryan and the stampede of all thought
ful Democrats off the unsafe platform.
He spoke OF the pledge of the Republican
party to build the Nicaragua canal and of
the great benefit that it would be to this
coast.
In adjourning the audience gave three
rousing cheers for Mckinley and three
more for O'Brlen.

Denis Kearney here arose and asked
whether Mr.. Van Duzer had not made a
speech against the charter for the Portia
Law Club. The speaker denied that he
had made such a speech.
Colonel O'Byrne, concluded the even
ing's argument, talking against the new
charter.
He said:. zone of the things history
loudly tells us is that free communities
are disorderly, but if you will listen I will
say that this new charter has not been
formed philosophically and in the light of
political history"
The speaker then dwelt at some length
on the undue power given the Mayor, and
announced himself as opposed to "the
modern fad of civil service, with its
shabby genteel aristocracy."
He said that he believed if the new
charter should be adopted thieves and
vagabonds would prowl about the City
Hall, coveting poor mems property, the
Mayor would be czar and liberty would
be a dead thing.

and badly arranged"

WESTPHAL A POLICEMAN
Appointed Veterinary Surgeon
for the, Depart
ment.
He Was Sworn In Yesterday in Due
For N by Chief of Police
Crowley.

At the meeting of the Police Commits
sioners Wednesday night, Christian FL.
Westphal, veterinary surgeon, was ap-
pointed a member of the police force, his
particular duty being to attend to the
horses connected with the department.
The appointment had been under con-
sideration for several weeks. 1t vas first
intended that it should rest with the
Board OF Supervisors, and salary of $40 a
month was attached to the position. This
was from the fact that the horses used in
the patrol wagons were the property of the
Board OF Supervisors and the expenses of
their maintenance were borne by that
board.
WestphaI had been slated for the ap-
pointment but owing to the small salary
attached 10 the position his friends got to
work and it was decided by the Supervi
in future be under the entire control of
the Police Department. Then it was urged
that as there were number OF horses used
by the mounted policemen there was
enough work for a veterinary surgeon to
entitle him to q salary of 500 month, the
same as DR.. Keeney is drawing as phys
iciap for the department.
Inc result was Lndb Lne Doaru OF super
visors two or three weeks ago passed an
ordinance that the police force should
consist of 551 men instead of $50 and that
one of the number should be veterinary
surgeon for the department.
This action of the board paved the way
for the appointment of Dr. WestphaI.
Almost Immediately after the passing of
the ordinance DR.. Westphal signed his
application for position on the police
force and it was laid before the Board of
Police Commissioners.
1t was expected that the appointment
would be made at the meeting a week ago
last Wednesday. but for some reason or
other it was delayed for another week.
DIR. Westphal was sworn in by Chief
Crowley yesterday, and was provided with
his star of Office. He received the con-
gratulations of his friends with becoming
modesty.
There are, including the patrol wagon
horses. about fifty horses altogether to
look after and the duties of the office will
not be very exactlng.
The department Is now we'll equipped in
every shape and form, 1t has physician
TO look after the sick men and a veterin-
ary surgeon to look after the sick horses.
