KNOCKING OUT CIVIL SERVICE.



neer's once From Under the Rules.
Special Dispatch 20 the Post-Intelligencer.
TACOMA, Aug. Smother official has
been informed by City Attorney Judson
that his position does not come under civil:
service regulations. City Engineer Davis
was so informed today, and the chances
are that from now on he will ignore the
commission. Engineer Da-is has been
anxious to secure an opinion OF this kind
for some time, as under the civil service
rules he must file a report which Is quite
voluminous and which takes up nearly
two-thirds of his time
The opinion OF Mr.. Judson was made up
on the solicitation Of Mayor Fawcett. who
says he desires to see the work OF the city
employees prosecuted with all dispatch. and
not hampered with what he considers I'M
necessary reports. 1t IL believed that the
same ruling would apply In the case Of the
city electrician. as that office comes I'M
der the same heading as that OF the city
engineer.

"Jhe Mysterious Mr.. Bugle.'

Madelsine Lucette Ryley's latest sue
cess, 1.-The Mysterious Mr.. Bugle," which
recently closed its long run at the Lyceum
Theater, New York. will be sent on tour
next season by Alfred Bradley, who owns
the rights for America. The play, al
though described as farce, because it has
no serious interest, is said to be written in
the spirit of true comedy. While the sit
uations are intensely funny, they are
brought about in a legitimate way and
there is no resort to the usual horseplay
in order TO make aIaugh. Joseph Hol-
land, perhaps the best farceur OF the
American stage, who made his greatest
success in this play since he appeared
years ago in "Wilkinson's Widows" will
head the cast, and he will be supported
by nearly all the mem bers of the original
company. The tour will include all the
principal cities of the East. and in March
next the play will go TO the Pacific Slope.
"Mr. Bugle" is to be presented in London
in the early fall by Charles Hawtrey.

The Columbia.

AS special holiday attraction the
Frawley Company will tomorrow after
noon and evening present that stirring
war play, Shenandoah" which being ap-
propriate to the occasion should attract

the Frawleys will make a revival of one OF
last seasons successes, "Tne Two Escut-
cheons." The play is dramatization
from the German of BlumenthaI and
Kadelsberg by Sydney Resented. 1t is
based upon the feeling of antagonism that
exists In Europe between the democratic
and aristocratic element. 1t is story CT
q self-made Chicago family and German
aristocrat with more ancestors than kreut-
Zers.
Theodore Hamilton will be seen as the
German Baron, while Blanche Bates viii
be the Widow Stevenson, the part origi-
nally played by Maxine Elliott. Worth
ing, Clarke, Frawley, Enos, Bosworth and
Phosa McAllister will be seen in their
original roles, while the new mem bers OF
tie com pany will be seen to goot. advan-
tage in Ibis highly am using comedy. The
next play by the Fawleys will be "Chris.
topher Jr.," so delightfully."- played here
by John Drew and Maude Adams, which
in time will be followed by the production
of .'Pudd'n Head Wilson," the play made
famous by the late Frank Mayo.

AT the Orpheum.

The show at the Orpheum during the
past week has been an excellent one, and
the different features have met with much
favor. There will be the usual influx OF
new arrivals this week, four high-class
people appearing. Imogene Conner is de-
scribed as the Queen regent of descrip-
tive singers" She possesses a voice on
the barry tone order. which she is said to
use with fine effect. T. w. Eckert and
Emma Berg will be seen in new sketch
entitled Master and Pupil" Eckeru was
formerly big fayorite in this City. when
he sang leading tenor roles at the Tivoli.
Harry LIE CIair's clever protean work has
been seen at the Orpheum in the past

''People You Meet in Every day Life" in
which he assumes mum ber of different
characters. Lew Dockstader, who has
made such pronounced hit, will have a
new lot Of Iocalisms and songs. Caron
and Herbert, the clever aero bats, are re-
tanned, also the musical team, Smith and
Fuller, whose assortment of odd musical
instruments and their playing of the same
have caught on. Heindl, the 'cellist. COM
pletes an attractive programme. There
will be special matinee tomorrow (Mon-
day) afternoon.

"A CELESTIAL NAIDEN.'
Charles UIrich's Chinese Play tc
Be Produced in Oakland
Julu IL.

The announcement that a new Chinese
play, entitled "a Celestial Maiden"
written by Charles Ulrich, well-known
newspaper man of San Francisco, is to be
prod uced in Oakland July IL has reused
intense curiosity in that City, and every
where is heard the question How does it
compare with Powers First Born'?'
Mr.. Ulrich's play is so totally different in
construction and plot from Mr.. Powers
and contains so many novel features
which THE First-Born" does not that it
may be said to be distinctly an original
creation. Those who have read Mr..
Ulrich's play unhesitatingly declare their
belief that it will duplicate the phe-
nomenal run of its predecessor when pro-
duced in this City some time next month.
Incidental to the play there will be a
Chinese wedding party scane In the hrst
act, beautiful spectacle, and seld ON wit
messed. The second act transplres In a
joss house. where many Chinese are en-
gagged in their strange devotions, presen L
ing scene so novel and dramatic as to
insure a hearty reception. An under
ground opium den. with all its grewsome
effects will also be pictured. The charac-
terizations are strong and the cllmaxes
thrilling. The inside history of slavery in
Chinatown. the system Of evading all law
by means OF bribery and the corruption of
officials, are explained in graphic man.
| ner. The comedy Is furnished by Dennis
O'Rourke, typical policeman, See See, a
mischievous Chinese boy, and Tong Sing,
| keeper of the JOSS. The play poss ,sses
features which will no doubt render it
popular now that there is a craze for
| productions of this class.
Mr.. Uir:ch has already disposed OF the
Eastern and English rights of the play to
the Frohmans The Pacific Coast rights
| have been secured by ]. Lou Hallett, the
well-known manager. 1t is now in re-
hearsal, and no expense will be spared to
render its production across the bay de-
| cided theatrical event.

1.-THE Elephant on His Hands" and "The
Cannibal King" Besides this the dia-
logue will be enlivenec by many new gags

nent Regent OF Siam; Myra Morella, a
dashing Prince Mataya; John ]. Rafael,
a mastery lieutenant; w. H. West, a
clustering Colonel Fracasse, and Maurice
Darcy. specially funny Papanti, the dane
ing master. One of the cleverest bits is
Thomas C. Leary's Pepat, the elephant
keeper. EIva Crox Seabrooke is a pretty
and magnetic Marie, the widows step
daughter. Irma Fitch, lively Gil ette.
the widows eldest daug gbter, and Helen
Harrington is most characteristic and
bright as the Widow Frimousse.

The San Francisco call., 1897-07-04

we desire is that New York should be
feeder for Chicago. AS long as those in
power have their eyes fixed on the big
cities of America the road system works
we'll enough. Plays are first tried in New
York, and if they are worth anything
they come West in due course of time.
We generally make a pretense of not
caring very much for the judgment OF
Gotham audience, but from business
standpoint it may be regarded as practi-
cally certain that piece which Is gen.
timely successful. and not artihclally
doomed, in the Eastern capital, is worth
putting on In Chicago. Consequently, we
get all the New York successes and none
of the failures"
We are to have 'Secret Service" In San
Francisco There is no doubt that the
play has scored a great success in London,
and it is fortunate for our play patrons
that the success was not achieved before
the contracts were made for this country.
According 10 the highly colored state
ments of the syndicate the play caused
more talk in London than the Queens
jubilee. An Eastern critic, who gets in
formation from other sources than the
''Secret Service and Under the Red
Robe" are simply clever and picturesque
romantic dramas of the most conventional
kind. as for Under the Red Robe" it is
in no way superior in lis essential quail
ties to IAN Enemy of the King the play
in which Sothern was SO successful last
season.
The Frawley Company has seldom been
seen to better advantage than in last
weeks production of "a Social Highway
man." which will receive its last repre-
sentation tonight. The story calls the
thief highwayman and the dramatist
follows the thor of the story in giving
name to the play. 1t is difficult for
slory-teller or play-writer to make much
of hero out of a jewelry thief, no matter
how adroit the thief may be. One may
admire the nerve of a highwayman in
holding up stage, and com mend him Tor
chiyalry in declining to accept the jewels
or money of the lady passengers, but 1t Is
too much 10 ask that applause be given to
the thief thai robs women. There is range
