dispensation, took place at 10 O'Clock, IN
Holy Cross Church, to which the groom's
family is attached by the tenderest ties.

Ginty, their lifelong pastor, assisted by
the Rev. Father McQuade. The groom

Lennie started another discussion by
asking who had the power to form a
m unicipal slate. He moved that a COM
mittee of three be appointed TO name u
ticket
Mohrig thought that when slate was
named it should only contain the names
OF a Democratic Supervisor, Republican
Supervisor and the Superintendent of
Streets.
Adams threw cold water on the scene
and said ii they asked for one Office the
wheelmen might as well ask for all He
pointed out that the office of Supe1in-
tendent of Streets was the most i'm portant
one in municipal government and they
could not expect 10 get it. He couuseled
DELAY and said the baggage bill and the
repaTIng of Market street were enough for
one year.
The report of the executive committee
on the matter was called for. 1t recon-
mended that power be conferred on it to
make nominations and confer with the
leaders OF the different parties. This was
finally agreed TO and a recess was taken to
allow the committee chance to name
its men.
After considerable elaboration the COM
mittee reported that it was in favor of ].
s. Conwell and r. NJ. WEIGH for Super
visors and George w. Elder for Superin-
tendent OF Streets.
Mcguire made a minority report in
which he said the action was ill-timed and
would do harm. He thought the men
sought to be Endorsed should first be con-
suited. The action taken was not in good
taste aud was more the action of school
boys than of men.
Adams said he thought Mcguire had
changed his mind on the subject and the
latter Indignantly denied the charge. He
thought the matter should not be rushed,
and while he favored the indorsing of
Superintendent of Streets and two Super
visors still he objected to the men being
named al that time.
Adams moved that the report be laid on
the table, and Kitchener moved that the
report be recommitted. The matter was
discussed pro and con-, and finally Adams
dropped his motion and made another re-
jecting me report altogether. This was
carried oy vote of 10 to 8, and the meet
ing adjourned.

At the TivoIi.

Last night began the ninth and last week of
the present grand opera season. "Lueia di
Lammermoor' was the opera. 1t will be
remembered that this was the lyric work with
which the season began.
Nine. Ida Yalerga, in the title role was most
enthusiastically received. After the mad
scene she was called aud recalled Nine
Valerga has become identified with this Civ
and her success here Is always assured.
II is not surprising that the others of the
cast showed to more advantage Than on the
night when they were first seen here in
Lucia" Most of them, particularly De Vries
Mfchelena and Abramoff have become popular
favorites. De Vries was particularly fne last
night IN the role of Henry Ashton. and his solo
in the first act aroused a veritable enthusiasm
Michelena as Edgar and Abramof as Raw
mond were deserving of the highest praise
All the others did well. Tonight ssRomeo and

The Baldwin.

Sardou's comedy. MADAME Sans Gene" dis
plays fine drawing quality at the Baldwin
The second week was begun last evening and
large and delighted audience sttested appre-
citation of the excellent performance
Kathryn Kidder as Madame Sans Gene, Au-
gustus Cook as Napoleon and James Cooper as
De NeippeTg were recalled several times at the
close OF the act where the spirited scene occurs
IN which the Austrian is seeking an interview
with the Emf press.
The NaDoleonic makeup of Augustus Cook
IS remarkable. The actors interpreta ton of
the lmpatieuce OF the Emperor over the con-
duct OF his own family is true to history as
taught in the memoirc OF Bourrienne and
Nine. Remusat. The comedy possesses action,
fiber and keen dramatic interest aud in the
hands OF the capable people at the Baldwin is
registering success Of the first order.

At the Orpheum.

The new features at the Orpheum this week
have come just in the nick of time, for the old
bill was beginning to grow monotonous.
Marguerite, the cOntortion dancer, is the
most remarkable of the new turns, though the
Irish comedy OF Ferguson and Mack won more
demonstrative signs of approval from the
audience. Marguerite is a chic graceful Young
person who twists her flexible little body into
every imaginable and unimaginable shape and
who dances prettily- Con torUions are gener-
ally painful things to behold, but Marguerite
ties herself into knots with the cheerful care
leSsness of a child at play, and-sO evidently
enjoys the performance that contortions are
Tor once Invested OF their usual horrors
Ferguson and Mack's performance would not
commend itself to the esthetic mind, but there
was plenty OF frolic in their knockabout
comedy and some OF their jokes were new and
pointed. Bellman and Moore did an excellent
turn, which took the form OF two sane people
meeting in lun6tlc asylum, each believing
the other to De crazy. The comedy is not a
new one, but their embe llishmeuJs in the
shape of songs and dances won them we'll
deserved applause. Miss Moore's good looks
helped to make her clever dancing more efec-
tive, and Bellman's fine voice obtained him
several encores
The VaSsar quartet gave q sort of drawing
room operetta, in which they showed that
they could sing. as well as act. James A.
Sturges, the male mem Der of the quartet is
possessed of a particularly fine voice Terry
ing turn. which had nothing particular to
commend it.
The hold-overs include lydia Yeamans-
Titus, in new songs; Richard Pitrot, with i'm
presentations, more or less true to life of Mavor
Sutro and other local celebrities; Filson and
Miss Nellie Mcguire and AlbIni, the card-trick
man.

Grand Ouera-House

"The Great Brooklyn Handicap" a race
comedy-drama, was given at the Grand Opera
house last night with a number of striking
tableaux and some good realistic stage effects
The greatest scene was the one showing the
handicap race, in which there are number OF
real horses ridden by jockeys.
Another scene that won much applause was
the one in which the heavy villain drove on
the stage pair of spirited horses and was in
terrupted in endeavoung TO reach the ferry to
make his escape. A fine effect in this scene
was produced By the approach OF two cable-cars,
actual size, with gripmen in regular
uniform. at the moment OF the arrest. This
so pleased the audience that the curtain had
to be raised three times. There is a good deal
of action in the play and good opportunity
is given TO Edward J. Heron, the comedian.
aud Lottie Williams, the soubrette to display
their versatility and speeialties. Julia Blanc
assumed the character OF Viola Hertz the
ward OF Banker Clews, one outside OF her
usual line, and by her capital rendition of it
astonished those who have been in the habit
of seeing her in old woman's parts. Mortimer
Snow as New York clubman was exceedingly
sad, while Fred J. Butler as q chevalier q in
dustrie was up TO his usual standard.

The Frawley company played Belasco and
De Miles well-known four-sct drama, THE

This strong emotional piece has been given
here number of times, but not better than it
was rendered by the excellent company now

tried all the emotions and seem pretty much
at home in all of them. Miss Bates work in

be assessed $50, which he was at liberty TO
pay himself or rustic up in any way.
NJ. J. Laymance was willing 10 stand
$50, but he wanted to know what had be-
come of that popular appeal for funds
that was ordered two weeks ago and what
the unreDorting finance committee was
doing.
Then Chairman Afford broke down and
made a confession.
II have met with the finance comm ittee
at all its meetings" he said. ~ have
witnessed its active efforts to obtain
money and | have witnessed its absolute
failure The committee could report
nothing but failure. 1t has received but
5000 or 500, and that wouldn't paw even
the pre- sent printing bills. The popular
appeal has been delayed by the fusion ne
gOtiatlons. | believe the finance commit
tee recommended this proposed $50 assess
ment 1t is impossible now to pay the
expense bills OF speakers"
Max Pepper, ex-chairman of the State
Central Committee, who has had much ex-
perience in raising campaign funds and in
paving bills himself, made a vigorous
roar.
1T is rule in many other States" he
said. THAT every member OF the State Cen
tral Committee must pay an assessment of
500 ior the honor before he takes his seat.
In Tammany not mem Der can take his
eat until he has paid his assessment of
800. This com mittee made a 500 assess
ment once and just five paid it. A $50 as
sessment ought TO raise about $3000-not
sufficient, but enough to send out good
many speakers"
Mr.. Popper grew INDIGNANT with his
progress and turned on the hard-shell Of
flce-holders.
I'VE have men in this committee" he
declared, who hold public positions but
VINO will not contribute a nickel. Why,
the other day q Government official who is
drawing a $500 salary was asked TO con-
tribute for q ratification meeting and he
sent the magnificent sum of s.. This
thing ought to oe stopped"
J. A. Filcher of the finance committee
gave the candid warning that he had pre-
pared a list of every Democratic public
official, great and small, and of every
prominent Democrat, and they would be
called on. Mr.. Filcher also sent warning
to Jim Budd and all his merry crew.
Il am going up to- morrow evening" he
said, ''to call on the Governor and those
about him, and 1 expect to get $1,000 up
there.
J. Marion Brooks resolutely moved to
amend Brobeck's resolution by making
the $50 assessment absolute and personal

called that it cost the country members
500 every trip to attend a meeting OF

Occidental Board.
A clever address on the women of Asia
was given yesterday at the Chinese Mis-
sion Home, go Sacramento street, by Mrs.
de Silva, Chinese lady who has passed
all her examinations as a physician in
New York. Mrs. de Silva, who wears
American dress, speaks f1uentIy in eIe-
CANT English. She was accompanied by
her husband, q tall, handsome Spaniard,
who seemed very proud OF his accom-
plished wife.
Mrs. de Silva began her address by de-
scribing what famous women had accom-
pIished in the past in Chinese and Japan
csc history. She also described the intel
hgence of the dowager Empress of China
and alluded TO what she has done for the
FIowery Kingdom. Speaking of Asiatic
women in general Mrs. de Silva said that
they are beginning to have many educa-
tional advantages, in fact as many as they
are equal to in their present state of de-
Yelopmens.
The ladies of the Occidental Board were
so pleased with the Chinese ladyis address
that they at once secured her services for
their synodical meeting, which win occur
on the 18th OF next month.

Judge Cox Hears the Case of William
n odd

William Perkins, one of the nonunion
moldcrs employed at Chandler g. Taylor's
shops, was found guilty yesterday morning
of drawing a deadly weapon on James
Seaman, a hackman living in the vicinity
OF the shops, Saturday morning. Judge Cox
assessed a fine of $50 and costs. His attor-
neys notified theecourt that the case would
be appealed to the Criminal Court.
Seaman testified that he ran out Of his
house after Perkins had inSulte1 his sister
and asked him what he meant, calling him
a dirty dog" He said that Perkins then
drew a revolver and threatened to shoot
IL he advanced another, step. Scanlan's sis
ter testified that as she left the house
Perkins placed HIS thumb to his nose end
made an insulting gesture. After that she
returned to the house and did not see what
followed.
The defense undertook to show that Tom
Seaman. a brother of the hacSman, ran
out of a cigar store near by withsa knife
in his hand and threatened to cut Perkins.
Perkins himself said that he was ADJUST
ink his cap as he passed Scanlan's Louise
and did not draw his revolver until the
young man ran from the cigar store. when
he stood in such a position as TO hold both
men at bay. The evidence consumed he en-
tire forenoon. No arguments were made.
Judge Cox took no stock in the DEFENDANTS
story that he drew the revolver to protect
himself from an attack by the man with
a knife I'm his hands. The Judge said that
the testimony of enc of the defendants
own witnesses, Potts, showed that he Lad
mis- revolver ready TO draw.
