WAGNER AS A MYSTIC.
Lecture by Mrs. Alice Cleather and
 Basil Crump.

The works of Wagner and their hid den meaning was the subject of an inter esting lecture last evening by Mrs. Alice Leighton Cleather and Basil Crump. During the lecture the hall was in dark ness except for the light from a stereop- ticon with which the speakers words were illustrated.
 Mrs. Cleather spoke first, her remarks referring to Wagner as poet, musl- clan and a dramatist, and his effect upon the musical schools of the world. She analyzed his character as shown in his music and in his prose works, and showed where his wonderful dramas had a sls- nificance beyond the mere dramatic sltu- ation and the absorbing story. She showed how his works were really dramas of the soul and his knightly he roes his heroines and his unconquerable warriors were personitlcat1ons of the hu- M man will, of passion, Of love and the higher characteristics of man as well as the lower. Basil Crump referred more particularly to the masters life, the eVo- futon of his genius, his struggles for fame and success and his progress toward them.
 Mrs. Cleather appeared a second time a mystic teacher, and in doing so She quoted freely from his prose and ire quently referred to his music to lend force to what she was saying. MT Crump closed with a summary of the great scenes in Wagner's dramatic works, and as he proceeded the pictures on the screen changed to portray the situations he called to mind.
 During the intermission Mrs. Cleather and MT. Crump gave on the piano and the organ several selections from Wag- ners most famous works, ~

laws Quoted to Show That School Directors Have Been
 DerelicL

Mayor Phelan has stated In a letter to Auditor Broderick that large de- ficit was imminent in the funds of the School Department-and has asked that some means be taken to prevent use of public funds except as provided by law. He quotes statutes which he claims cover the subject and says that if Is absolutely imperative that the School Directors be required to observe the plain letter of the law. The com munication is as follows:
 February 2S, 1S98
 Hon William Frederick, Auditor, City Hall. San Francisco-Dear Sir; It appears from a recent report as 10 the condition that there will be a probable shortage of $lO0 COG in the School Department fund at the end of the current hscal year. This condition is due to Iallqbe tbe or Iae Boar9 f the act of February 20, 1SlS, commonly called the "one-twelfth act. and and of sec tion of the act of March oU, looo, AStat- utes of 1S67-69 D. 55S), which is as follows:
 Sec. At shall be the duty of the Committee on Finance and Auditing of the Board of Edu- cation, during the month of July every year, to make an annual estimate Of all revenue and disbursements of the School Department for the current fiscal year, specitylng sepa- rately the amount of funds hetessaFy 10 oetray @ and last half year; and III no case shaiI IL pc lawful for the said board to exceed, durlng the first half year the estimated item of eXpendi- lures for that period, in the entire year the revenues collected for school purposes, All surplus or unexpended funds of any half year shall be available for expenditures of the fol- lowing half year The Auditor and Treasurer shall conform strictly to the provisions of this section.
 The segregation contemplated by this section was made by the Finance Com mittee of the present board in October last, and I presume you are fully in formed as head of the finance department of the city, as to the condition of the sev- eral subdivisions of the fund.
 Itis absolutely imperative that the board be required to observe the plain letter of the law, as contained in the acts above re- ferred to, in order that the teachers may not be compelled to wait Tor thelr salaries at the end of the fiscal year.
 In this connection l beg leave to gall your attention to the fact that Auditor Strother, during his incumbency of your office, returned to the Board of Education without his approval demands allowed by them in excess of the limitation prescribed by the above quoted act. The reasons for his action are fully stated in letter bear ing date January 14, 1885, Qn file with the clerk of the Board of Education. Respect fully. JAMES D. PHELAN, Mayor.

THE JOUS7 THAT
 BROKE 1.-THE LANCE"
Mr. Editor Cornelius F. Davis Suddenly Struck
 Snag.
The New Morning Paper Has Died Leaving but a Notice on
 the Door.

If the l ance came into existence 10 assuage an aching void there is reason tn fear that the void is as full as ever of bangs most dire. The Lance did not remain in existence long enough to re- deean the promises which heralded It's birth. Merely to come into existence and to go out made up the history of its career. Its birth was attended by no phenomena, it's death did not stir the nation, it's burial belongs to the fu- ture.
 Perhaps 1t is well to explain that the Lance was daily paper for three suc- cessive days. Then 1t became a remin- iscence. Few people ever heard of it, fewer had the elevating pleasure of seeing it, yet the Lance had been hurled, and now, like the relic of a tilting joust, it lies In the dust.
 The first symptom of the prospective paper was a circular announcing that a metropolitan paper was to be issued at the cost of 1 cent. It is a plain prop osition that a. paper not worth a cent can never hope to win it's way to fame. The head, front and nerve of the ven ture was Cornelius F. Davis, whose long association with the Youths Com panion had fitted him for the task AS to the. brawn, MT. Davis could of course purchase this. There is a rumor that the brawn in question still yearns vainly for the pay that never came. One employe, however; was thoughtful and secured the shears when the crash arrived. These instruments constituted the only piece of office furniture ac- lively available as assets.
 MT. Davis is evidently an optimiSt. Under his direction the sheet made it's initial appearance Thursday. It was out againJ Friday. Saturday it showed as bold face as possible Saturday evening while preparations were under | way for a Sunday edition designed to paralyze and blight the dailies already in the field, Davis entered the sanctum, and said there would be no edition on that date. It was at this juncture a ! youth of -bulging brow seized the shears. The rest of the force did not even get an installment of pay. They got promises non-negotiable.
 However, Davis Is not as one who mourns without hope. It is true that the printer demanded money in ad- vance; 1t is true the purveyor of white paper manifested spirit equally sor- did, and that Davis rebuked them both by refusing to comply, and yet he threatens to revive the Lance and try another assault upon the ache which marks the familiar void. All he needs Is millionaire, and he thinks he has one in tow. Meanwhile, there is a mo- tice on the door of the deserted sane tum setting forth in effect that the Lance is not dead, but in a trance. "At any rate," says the notice, there will be no paper to-day" But as to other days the statement ayers naught.

STAND IN WITH MERCHANTS
Supervisors Will Not Tax the En- frances to Under-the-St Street
 Stores

The special committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors to consider the mat ter of street signs, sidewalk entrances to underground establishments and other matters, decided yesterday to report in favor of the indefinite postponement of the measure
 Members of the Merchants Association represented to the committee that to im- pose a special tax would work a hardship on many merchants who had spent con siderable money in altering their prem ises. It was shown that in Eastern cities no such tax is imposed on the entrances of under-the-Street establishments and on this representation the committee decided to recommend the indefinite postponement of the ordinance
