At tha Tivoli.

To call 81 Pagliacci" success would seem
faint praise. The enthusiasm shown at the
Tivoli last night at the opening presentation
transcended anything of the sort thus far seen
since the grand opera season commenced.
The applause was constant.
Owing to the shortness of the opera an Or
chestral concert was given from to 8 o'clock
under Mr.. Hinrich's direction. The pro-
gramme opened with Nicolais overture to
HTne Merry Wives of Windsor"
The rendering seemed to be perfect The
ballet music from Gounods Faust" so sell
dom attempted in this part of the world. was
given with much airy grace and rythmic
feeling.
AS for the opera, Michelena was the star, and
no one attempted to share the honor with him.
H is wild agony of despair, set to music which
sounds like one long cry of pain .wrung from
broken heart, was last nights triumph.
Mini Bertini-Humphreys makes charming
Columbine and fills the exacting role very ac-
ceptably.
Rafael, as Silvio, the lover of day and the
partner of his lady-love in death, earned the
applause which rewarded his every effort. The
scenic effects, not very elaborate in II Pag-
llacci" are harmonious and appropriate. The
opera will be repeated this evening.

ARE IN THE FIGHT TO STAY

The General County Committee of the
Buckley Democracy held a big and q
warm meeting last evening, at which,
with unanimous enthusiasm, they de-
nounced kicked. roasted and otherwise
punished City and County Attorney Cres-
well. Auditor Broderick and Treasurer
Block for their unnecessary action in
formally recognizing the Rainey faction
of the Democracy-the Junta-as the reg
ular one.
AS these officials are understood to be
candidates for the same offices for another
two years, the hostility of the big end of
the Demo cracy tends to complicate their
chances.
This was the first of the regular weekly
meetings of the entire general committee,
which will occur on Monday evenings.
The committee met in the large hall
attached to the attractive and quite ex-
tensive new headquarters of the organiza-
ton at 20 and "a Ellis street. Flags and
bunting literally drape the hall.
There were 275 mem bers present at roll
call and many more came in later as
Chairman Joseph Rothschlld announced.
w. J. Fitzgerald offered a resolution
authorizing the chairman to appoint a
committee of seven (which shall have
full power to act in the matter of fusing
with the Peoples party OF San Francisco
in the coming campaign
But the committee did not take kindly
to the iGea of fusion with the Populists in
the local campaign and 1t was headed on
by Thomas Egan, who offered as substi-
tate a resolution denounclng the Election
Commissioners and calling for fusion in
the matter of getting share of the cleo
ton officers only. Egan's resolution was
as follows:
WHEREAS, Under the act through which they
hold as Election Commissioners. to wit, "An
act 10 regulate the registration OF voters and
TO secure the purity of elections in the City
and County of San Francisco" the following
language is used: Section IL. Pro-
vided that in selecting election officers the
Commissioners shall take care to select as
nearly as possible an equal number OF persons
of opposite political faith and opinion to serve

they have not done; for we are not unmindful

Chauncey O.cott in the Beautiful
"Mavourneen" at the Cal.
ifornia.
The Columbia, the Tivoli, the Or.
pheum and Other Places Offer
Pleasing Bills

Chauncey Olcott made his initial ap-
pearance in this City in "Mavourneen" al
the California last evening. Many first
nighters were there, and curiosity was on
edge concerning Mr.. Olcott, about whom
so much that is laudatory has been said.
He did not disappoint expectation. On
the contrary he grew constantly in favor
from the beginning until he was prime
favorite with those who occupied the seats
when the curtain finally fell on the last
scene.
Mr.. Olcott was visibly nervous when he
began. He has met with favor in the
East. He has been in California before,
singing with the Emerson minstrels. He
had never taken a title role or any role
here before last night. Something akin

than with white labor for rough lumber,
dressed lumber.
''The cost of manufacturing lumber in
Washington is 73 per cent of the entire
cost of output. This represents the wages
paid. If the product is reduced in value
Is per cent by taking the duty off that
will reduce the wages paid laboring men
to that extent. Common laborers, who
now get 81 rs a day, would then have to
work for 81 So"
1t requires little argument to convince
the simplest man that the Wilson bill,
idol of Bryan and ideal of pure Democ-
racy, would soon force American rlaborers
out of employment or make them wear
queues and live like Chinese. Who knows
best about these things-practical Amer
lean lum mbermen or "boy orators" who in
dulge in the pyrotechnics of metaphor
and fowery speech2 Here are some more
solid facts from the Buckley Lumber
Com pany. They say that foreign pauper
labor, under free trade, ruins their indus
try. Their account runs as follows:
1--WE have but one course left open to US
to meet free importation of lumber. and
meet any and all competition or shut our
mill down.
I'VE employ about sixty men; no women
or children. We pay common laborers
ST. rs to 81: skilled labor, from 81 so to Sc
per day.
"They work sixty hours per week.
"The character of foreign competing ar
ticles, lumber manufactured in British
Columbia; they are continually encroach-
ing on our territory on this side of the
line, offering lumber for less than we can
produce it for at the present schedule of
| wages"
How do these figures compare with the
lurid prophecy of Bryan in his great Con-
gressional speech in defense of the Wilson
bill2 He made reputation as an orator
then by making the false and misleading
prophecy that free lumber and free wool
would cause general prosperity, result in
renewed activity of mills and an increase
in the wages of American employees. He
put himself on record without reservation
as the rankest of free-traders and made a
record by defending the doctrines of the
Golden Club of England.
1t may not be generally known that the
California redwoods, which nature has
protected by making them to grow in no
other country than here. are affected in a
disastrous way by the importation of for
eign pines. Why? Because they feel the
fall of prices by sympathy.
When prices go away down, when the
market Is ruined by the British Columbia
product dealers in redwood must reduce
their prices, as pine Is chosen in prefer
ence to the redwood.
A study of every phase of the problem
will show that nothing has done more
harm to the lumber industry than Cleve-
landism, but Cleveland's s tariff for revenue
ideas are mild indeed compared with the
wild free-trade sentiments OF William Jen-
nings Bryan of Nebraska. His policy
would destroy every factory in the land
and make American workingmen worse
than the serfs OF England in the ages of
feudalism.

Three Young Persons Dro,cned.

LA CROSSE, Wis, Aug. 3.-While out
boat-riding yesterday afternoon, shortly
before o'clock, Henry Hendrickson, Liz
zie Oldstadt and Hanna Anderson, three
La Crosse young persons, were drowned in
the Mississippi River just below the city.
They were just rounding bending in the
river, where the current was very swift
and the boat became unmanageable. The
craft with its occupants was pulled under
some barges which we're moored near by
and that was the last seen of them.
The San Francisco call., 1896-08-04
The Columbia,

Whoever chose "a Gold Mine" as the comedy
in which to introduce Wilton Lackaye to the
Columbia patrons made an error.
Mr.. Lackaye is no more fitted for the role of
Silas K Woolcott than he would be for that OF
"Black Cloud, the Terror of the Plains"
Mr.. Lackaye is q sterling actor whose ability
none will gainsay, and last night he played the
leading part in his usual careful and painstak-
ing manner, but he suffers in comparison with
a Westerner like Nat Goodwin.
Mr.. Lackaye is unfortunate in having had
the role thrust upon him. Goodwin is the
real Westerner, with the gen uine Western
flavor. Lackaye is the New York imita
who wouldn't go an instant in real mining
camp. For all that Mr. Lackaye did we'll and
AS the Hon. Mrs Thorndyke Meredith Mrs.
Bouccault was revelation. She is past mis-
tress in the art of repartee, and her graceful
manner of grilling her unfortunate lover was
productive OF much applause.
OF "a Gold Nine" 1t is unnecessary to say
anything. The comedy is too well known
locally to need description. OF the artists, be-
sides the two mentioned, only words OF praise
may be spoken, except in the case of Frank
Worthing, who scarcely knew his lines, and
stuck dozen times or more. Miss Hope Ross
was as charming as usual; Miss Madge Carr
Cook was what she should be, while Maelyn
Arbuckle. George w. Leslie, Tyrone Power
and Wilson Enos played their parts in their
usual praiseworthy manner. Taken all in all,
the play as presented at the Columbia is we'll

At rhe Orpheum,

This weeks bill is unusually fine one,
being noticeable in particular for the widest
variety com mbined with uniform standard of
excellence. The marimba players from An
tigua, Guatemala, who have delighted the
Orpheum's audiences in days past were seen
and heard by the patrons of the favorite place
of amusement last night again. Mrs. Lydia
Yeamans-Titus is q marvel. Another woman
who can sing, and sing like angel is the
rightly so-called "Black Patti Sissieretta
Jones. Her trilling is & wonder OF sweet, soft
naturalness.
The Vaidi sisters on their revolving electric
wheels perform number of singularly grace
full and intricate evolutions, while Biondi in
his "one-man opera" is as popular as ever.
The four Nelson sisters go through an aero
batic performance requiring the finest poise,
while Herr Techow's cats and several other
fine speoialties contribute to make up a rarely
interesting programme.

lines, for the audience speedily put him in
his proper place. They would rather hear
him sing than listen or watch the play at
large. No better ballad singing has been
heard In California in years.
Mr.. Olcott was also very satisfactory as
the roll1cklng, manly, unaffected, affec-
tlonate and brave Irish lad, whom drama
tlsts like to portray. There are enough
scenes of daring and pathos to awaken the
enthusiasm of those who go to play for
the sake OF the sudden and unexpected.
The scenes are pleasing and well contrived
on the whole. The support was good.
Daniel Gilfether took the role of John
Dwyer, brother of Terrence Dwver, and
by his social position furnished the neces-
sary foil to set off the aspiring Terrence,
the humble Irish boy. Eta Baker Martin
was Lady Caroline Dwyer and Georgia
Busley was Lady May TyrrelI.
The part of the designing villain was
taken by Paul Gilmore as Captain March
mont, who wishes to marry Lady May
Tyrrell, but the lady prefers Terrence. w.
II. Burton was the Able Malone, the ira
ditional stage priest. Two little children
furnished pretty by-play. In the play are
plot an abduction, rescue and the I'M
raveling of the plot. incidentally there is
real old-fashioned Irish Jig, a minuet
and several quite striking positions.
Above all and leading all are the vocal
abilities of Chauncey Olcott, who is a good
enough actor to justify fully his favorite
title Of 'the singing comedian"
The play is wholesome in its teaching,
has pretty incidents and seemingly pos
sesses all the elements of lasting popu-
larity.
