HARD AT WORK.
Preparations Advancing in Opera
HOuse-Open in September.

Preparations Advancing in Opera
HOuse-Open in September.
The Opera House will not be ready
for the opening performance before
September 18th, as it will require all
the time until then to complete the in
terror and prepare sufficient scenery to
stage the first piece, which will proba-
bly, be "Trovatore," by local talent,
headed by Mrs. Montague Turner.
Several changes have been made in
the original plans for the auditorium
which will add to the comfort of the
audience. In the original plans the
pitch in the pit was by a series of
steps not more than six inches high.
In all new theatres the pitch is by a
gradual slope, for the reason that the
crowd, in leaving the theatre after the
performance, would not notice the
steps and persons would be apt to
stumble over them. The Opera House
plans have been changed to this later
style.
The arrangement of the rows of
chairs is absolutely perfect, as there
is almost a full view of the stage from
any seat in the house, and the stage,
by the way, is larger than even the
Baldwin Theatre in San Francisco, and
the procenium is larger.
Mr.. Porter is engaged painting an
oak set comprising fifteen separate
pieces, so that the stage may be set in
almost any way; if necessary it may
be closed entirely on three sides, or
may be left open at the sides if wish
ed. OId-styIe scenery was painted in
flats and wings. By mistakes of the
scene shutters forest wing was some
times made a part of milady's bOudoir,
but by the new method a stage setting
may be as perfect as a room in
dwelling.

FUNERAL OF MRS. HARTWELL.
Many Friends Pay Last Tribute OF
Love and Respect.


The large attendance at the funeral
of Mrs. A. S. Hartwell Thursday after
noon was indeed an evidence of the
high esteem in which Mrs. Hartwell
was held by the people of the city. The
casket, which was placed in the large
reception room of the Judd street resi-
dence, was literally banked with beau
tiful floral tributes.
The services at the house were very
simple and appropriate. Miss Richards
sang a solo, Son of My Soul" after
which. Rev. d. p. Birnie read the burial
service, which was followed by prayer
by Rev Mr.. Parker. The casket was
borne to the hearse by President Dole,
Chief Justice Judd, Hon. w. r. Castle,
Senator w. H. Rice, Senator G. n. Will
cox and w. w. Hall, all of whom had
been lifelong acquaintance of the de-
ceased and intimate friends of Judge
Hartwell.
A large number of friends followed
the funeral cortege to the grave, where
the usual service was read, and after
closing hymn by quartette consisting
of Messrs. Wood and Hall, Miss Rich
ards and Mrs. A. F. Judd, the remains
were consigned to their last resting
place The funeral was conducted by
H. H. Williams.

qualities of a powerful disinfectant.
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo

ease exist. They are placed free
of charge, taken care of and kept
working day and night for $1.O0
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles. and ap-
peals to everyone of common sense.
The idea is this: The distributor
drops two drops minute. day and
night. Foul odors are killed, yet
no disagreeable smell of caTbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
it's place. You don't know that a
powerful disinfectant is being used
if you judge by the lack of odor.

NEW SULTAN DEFIANT.
Trouble Imminent at the Capital of
Zanzibar.

ZANZIBAR, Aug. 26.-Immediately
on the death of the Sultan yesterday
said Kalid seized the palace and pro-
claimed himself Sultan. The new
claimant was supported by a force of
700 armed arkaris, and SO threatening
were appearances that a force was
landed from the British war-ships Phil
onel, Thrush and Sparrow, lying in
the harbor, to protect foreign residents
of the city. The women and children
were gathered at the British Consulate,
which was strongly guarded.
Soon after Said kalid had seized the
palace the British Consul sent him a
communication, requesting him to dis
arm the arkariS in the interest of pub
lie order The usurping Sultan not
only refused to consent to the diSarm-
ing. but he ordered the guns in the
Palace Square to be trained on the
three British ships in the harbor.
The British war-ships are all prepared
for action and are now awaiting orders
which will decide what they will do.

BLOODOHED At CONSTANTlNOPLG.
MOBS in POSSESSION OF LARGE
PART OF THE CITY.
Conflict Between Rioters and Police
During Which Many People
Were Killed.

LONDON, Aug. 26.-A special to a
local news agency from Constantinople
saws: Mobs are in possession OF large
mart of Constantinople tonight. Early
in the afternoon a body of men armed
with revolvers and bombs invaded the
Ottoman Bank, killing a number of gem
darmes on guard. The employees of the
bank fled to the quarters occupied by
the tobacco syndicate, which has con-
troll of the collection of taxes on tobacco
throughout the empire. The invaders
mounted the roof of the building, and
from the open windows fired at the po-
lice below. The police returned the fu-
sillade. and several persons were killed
and wounded.
Then the rioting began. Shops were
sacked and bazars invaded, and the
widest excitement prevailed through
out certain quarters of Constantinople.
A later report says there is no doubt
but what the movement was revolution
arv in plan and scope; that it had it's
origin at secret meetings of Armenians.
About forty of the rioters were still in
nossession of the Ottoman Bank at a
late hour this evening, despite all the
efforts of the Government forces to re-
move them. Riots continue, and the
mobs are constantly increasing in the
Galatea quarter.
A bomb was exploded in Constantine
ple. near the Galataserai guardhouse.
Many soldiers were killed and wounded.
H. b. M. S. Dryad at once left Thera-
pia. where she was anchored, and pro-
ceeded to this city. 1t is also expected
that the French and Italian Govern
nent ships will reach ConStantinOpIe

The boatwas stopped and an effort made

The man who was' drowned was

Twenty-sixth street, San Francisco.

cided that three men were responsible
Tor the drowning, so he whistled for
officers. a policeman and Deputy Sher-
if responded, and arrested John Volz.
Harry Samm and F. W. Samm, the last
two being brothers. The taller of the
two was indirectly responsible for Her
lieheys death.
All the men had been drinking to-
gether and We're under the influence of
liquor, Herliehey being the most intoxi-
Gated. He complained because he had
not been invited to drink, and the taller
Of the Samm boys took offense at his
manner, saying, III smash youi" and
with that he struck him a heavy blow.
He then started to follow Herliehey up
10 administer further castigation, and

ter backed against the rail and fell
backward.

nesses to the affair this morning, but

THE CANADA WINS THE CUP
Defeats the VencedOr i'm a Close and
Exciting Contest.

TOLEDO (O), Aug. 26.-After an ex-
citing contest the Canada won her sec
ond race from the Vencedor to-day bv
the narrow margin of twenty-six sec
onds, corrected time, and with it cap
tured the beautiful Toledo Challenge
cup, the international yachting cham
pionship of the lakes and 90 per cent. of
Sl,o0O purse offered by the citizens of
Toledo
The race was sailed in a fine twenty
knot breeze, which ranged from south
west to west, and while the Vencedor
actually beat the Canada 3:31 over the
course, and proved herself a wonder in
wind, she had to allow the royal Ca
madam yacht handicap of 3:57. In
spite of the Canada's big allowance, the
Nencedor would have beaten her but for
the fact that her skipper made num-
ber of unnecessary tacks on the way to
the home mark in the first round, and
finally overstood it, losing nearly two
minutes, which ultimately caused the
American yachts defeat

CANDIDATE BRYAN
Makes Three Speeches at Erie, PENN
sylvania, in One Night.

ERIE Pa), Aug. 26-Husky of voice
ana tired of body, after long and hard
day of campaigning, William Jennings
Bryan found himself confronted on his
arrival in Erie at o'clock tonight with
a programme calling for three more
speeches before he could rest from his
day of railroad travelling and speech
making. But he carried out the part
OF the contract assigned him by the To-
cal Committee on Arrangements, and
performed his triplicate duty with
vigor that spoke well for his constitu-
ton.
HIS reception at the station was
hearty in the extreme. Rain was fall
ing when his train arrived, but 1000 or
more people were waiting and gave the
candidate royal welcome
Accompanied by Hon Joseph SibIey
and other prominent Democrats, Mr..
Bryan started out at O'Clock to per-
form the contract which had been made
for him. The three gatherings he ad-
dressed repaid him in the potency of
their applause. Schlosser's Hall. the
scene of his first speech, seats 300 peo-
pie, and tonight it was crowded Nu-
merous farmers attended. and Mr.. Bry.
an made stirring speech to the audi
ence.
From SchlOssers Hall Mr.. Bryan was
Whirled off to St. Patricks Auditorium.
Here he spoke with effort. The effect of
his two long addresses at Syracuse and
Rochester and his short speeches at a
number of places along the route to
Erie had begun to show, and Mr.. Bry-
ans vocal organs appeared to be in
much the same weakened state as they
were on his arrival in New York. Like
the crowds at the first meeting. the
2,o0O men and women assembled in the
Auditorium were orderly, but, on the
whole, more enthusiastic than those at
the former place. The three cheers
they gave when the young nominee con-
cluded fairly shook the rafters.
Again thoroughly fatigued. the cam
dldate was whirled away this time to
the Park Operahouse where the eighth
annual State Convention of Democratic
Clubs was in session. This was the most
demonstrative meeting of the evening.
When the prolonged shouts of welcome
were ended Mr.. Bryan made the most
important of his evenings speeches.

show the result of its efforts. Many Oh
