ALL TO sing
TN ITALIAN
Grand Opera Troupe From
Mexico Coming Here
November l.
The Company Asks No Guaran-
tee, but Will Stand on
It's Merits.
Contracts We're Signed Yesterday.
Several New Operas to Be
Produced.

The Italian grand opera company at
present playing at the National Theater,
Mexico, will open season of grand
opera at the California Theater on Novem-
ber 1, and will produce during the season
a mum Der of important operas, some of
which have never been heard in this City
before.
The contracts for the engagement were
signed yesterday evening between Ed
Bajeard, repre- enting the company, and
Alfred Bouvier representing al Hayman
& Co.
Del Conte, the impresario. made up the
troupe in Milan, and brought all his seem
cry, costumes. etc., from Italy. Two rich
men in the City of Mexico, one an Ameri-
| can named Harris, and the other Senior
Andrade, guaranteed all the money that
| Conte required for q season of seven
months. No qua rantee whatever is asked
before coming here, as the manager says
he has enough faith in his company to lei
it stand upon its merits. ALI the singers
are young, and among them are several
rising stars of Italian opera.
The reason that the National Theatel
COIN pany desires to play San Francisco
| engage ment Is tnuI the usual operate sea-
son in Havana cannot be given this year
on account of the unhappy condition o.
Cuba. The artists would not cross the
Atlantic tor less than a seven months en-.
| gagement, and as consequence the COM
! pany has a month or two which the Mexi
can engagements do not cover. The itin-
| erary mapped out after leaving the City
Of Mexico is Guadalajara, Guanaiuato.
where new theater will be opeEed by the
troupe; Los Angeles, San Francisco and
| perhaps Denver, after which the opera
! company will return to the City OF Mex.
| leo in time for the carnival season.
One of the pillars of the organization is
Pietro VaIlini, the chef d'orchestre, who
enjoys great popularity in Italy, and who
| will bring an orchestra OF thirty Mexi-
can professors. The leading tenor, Fran
| cesco CollenZ native of Trieste, is also
one OF the mainstays Of the troupe. There
| are number OF soloists, the best known
among them being the dramatic soprano.
Nina Mazzi; the light soprano, Cleopatra
| Vivini; the meZzo-sopranos, Adalena
Fanton and Benvenuta Polaco Drog; the
harytones, Cesare Cioni and Luigi Fran
cesconi, and the first bass, Giovanni SEQ
| lari.
The most important event of the season
will be the production of Puccini's LA
Boheme," which has never yet reen
played in the United States. 1t was first
produced at the Scala, Milan, over year

GREEN WALD'S PLAN.

Bartlett Doe May Possibly Build the
Southern Manager a Theater.
There is possibility that theater will
soon be opened in the st. Nicholas Hotel
building, and that it will enter into keen
compe tition with the downtown houses.
1t is a pretty generally known fact that
space was left for a theater when the ST..
Nicholas Hotel was erected and that only
a short time would be required to trans
form the spot into cozy place OF amuse-
ment.
Manager Greenwald, the owner OF sew
eral theaters in the south, has lately been
inspecting the st. Nicholas site with a
view 10 extending his southern ciicuit to
San Francisco. Illness compelled him to
leave the City before he had made any
definite arrangements, hut when last seen
he had not decided 10 abandon the plan.
Bartlett Doe. the owner of the property,
when ques toned on the subject yesterday
said that he had entertained the idea of

That Mayor Phelan Is
Wrong.
The Consolidation Act Reveals Sec

the Matter.

Auditor Broderck has discovered what
he thinks to be fatal error in the Mayors
Interpretation OF the laws regarding pub
lie printing and stationery, and feels more
than ever secure in the position he has
taken in regard to the matter.
His idea has always been that "public
printing" which the law says must be let
to the lowest bidder in open competition,

If you have any ambition to bear
yourself well, to succeed in life i'll all
ways us we'll as in the financial way,
which is commonly understood when
success is mentioned, you must become
aware of the fact that you cannot live
any kind of life you may like for years
and still have the highest character. 1t
is the little incidents from day to day
which make a mans character, and per-
haps the strongest of all these little in
cidents are those which concern the
treatment Of women and girls by men
and boys. The fact of being constantly
with women sometimes cultivates the
habit Of paying little attention to them,
of not ~recollCcting that they are to be
treated with never failing courtesy.
This is but Il step i'll the direction lead
ing to such incidents as IL sees in Eu-
rope, where young brothers sit about the
house in their uniforms, paid for by
their sisters sewing or teaching, and
let these same sisters bring their shoes
or coats Or glasses Of water, and what
not. When W 60 to Germany and see
this sort Of thing, we acquire Il contempt
for the mel of that race. They do not
begin to equal tho vigor, the manliness,
the civilization, of our American men.
And yet we must not behold the mote
in our brothers. eye unless we consider
tho beam in our OWL. We must not crit
icise others unless we can ut least say
that our own men have Il clear idea of
their proper course in such IA matter.
Furthermore, when you are dealing
with the other sex it is wise to bear in
mind that as you treat them so are You
building up character in yourself. If
you do not bear in mind the courtesies
Of all kinds which are woman's due,
you cannot retain for any length of time
a pride in yourself, u satisfaction with
your behavior, which is commonly called
self respect. And without self respect
you will have n hard time of it i'll the
world. -Harper's Round Table.

There was a touching exchange Of
compliments the other day between En-
peror William and the Russian painter
V~erestchagin, whose works are now on
exhibition in Berlin. The kaiser went
to the gallery and vas gracious enough
to remind the Artist that they had met
before. Eyes, your majesty" replied
verestchagin, land then you were only
'highness, but now you are majesty"
To this the kaiser is said to have replied,
holding out his hand, "And you, who
were a great painter then, are now a
greater one
1t is not altogether surprising that
the Russian is reported as expressing
deep respect for the emperor's critical
powers, or that he quotes, as showing
limitless historical knowledge, the EN-
peror's declaration, made at this mo-
mentous interview, that ''if ever a judg-
ment Of God broke over a man, it was
over Napoleon at Moscow" Meanwhile

reveal the horrors Of militarism, and

We returned TO the club, and l wrote
him out a check. l left him chatting
with Barton Fenwicke, a gossip, who

a hand Oh my coat sleeve.
"Do you know" she said, with a
smile, that I'm very glad that I've

Found out WHAT" I asked, almost
trembling with excitement.
She hung her head, a blush spreading
over her checks.

The ''Cld tree" one of Lexington's
famous landmarks, was lately noticed to
be decaying, owing to its age. 1t is now
over $50 years old and was i'll Il very
good state Of preservation until recent
years. The old tree is situated i'll front
of the Buchanan tavern, whose walls are
riddled with bullets from the battle in
l775. SO it is supposed that there are
also many more imbedded in the heart
of the old tree. In 1889 it was used to
raise the steeple of the first meeting
house OH the common, a rope being at
tached to it and extended across the
street.=Boston Herald.

WINTER DUSK.

The prospect is bare and white,
And the air is crisp and chill,
While the ebon wings OF night
Are spread on the distant hill.
The roar of the stormy sea
Seems the dirges shrill and sharp
That winter plays on the tree
Us wild Holian harp
In the pool that darkly creeps
In ripples before the gale
A star like Il lily sleeps
And wiegles its silver tail.
