DRINK PREVENTS A CRIME.

r. A. Jordan, a former citizen of San
Francisco, has been arrested in the City
of Mexico on a charge of attempted
murder. One night last week he called
Mrs. Hegeman, widow of a Mexican rail-
road contractor, to her bedroom door, and
drawing pistol fired twice at her, both
shots failing of their effect. Jordan met
Mrs. Hegeman several months ago while
on business trip in Mexico. He and
Mrs. Jordan who accompanied him, 10
not seem to have got along very well to-
gether. and a short time after their ar
rival his wife left for her home In this
city, giving him TO understand that she
should institute divorce proceedings.
After his wife's departure Jordan paid
marked attentions to Mrs. Hegeman, and
their marriage was set for October, when
the widow received a letter from Mrs.
Jordan, which was the first intimatiOn
she had of that lady's existence. Upon
this she postponed the marriage, and this
so weighed on Jordan's mind that II
started him TO drinking. Half crazed by
bad whisky he attempted to Kill the
woman he loved but could not marry.
When Mrs. Hegeman saw his desperate
intention she fled to the street and her
cries attracting the gendarmes, Jordan
was placed in jail, where he is now
awaiting trial.
Previous TO Jordan's attack on Mrs.
Hegeman he had made will leaving half
his estate. including 1000 life insur-
ance policy, to her.

MOTHER EARTH"
WARMLY RECEIVED
At THE ALCAZAR
Features of Francis
Powers New Play.

In the production of Francis Powers
Mother Earth" there was the promise Of
Importance, for we had not forgot the
promise of his "First-Born," yet must
say that Mother Earth" was a success
beyond my hopes, for while il proves that
the author persists in his faults it proves
too that he knows the value of his virtues.
Undoubtedly Francis Powers has a man
ner; his touch is unmistakable. He has
originality. though without scope. which
lack is manifest in the frequent reminders
of 1.-THE First-Born" that occur In
Mother Earth" The development of his
plot depends largely upon the gossip of
minor characters, a dangerous expedient.
He is given also to the pantomimic epi-
sode, which, in excess, distorts rather
than harmonizes \ first performance is
properly the moment for suggestion, and
If Mr. Powers will take TO bed with him

one may overlook the incongruity of the
language in which he makes his charac-
ters speak, for MeXicans IN Mexico

the southern tongue-always within the
limits OF dignity-may be used 10 advan-
tage to preserve the color and tone OF
scenic environment. / would state. how
ever, that such tranSpoSltionS OF adjective
and noun as 1.-The friend distinguished
do not assist one IN the serious con-
sideration of a serious play.
The first performance of this last effort
of Powers was painstaking and honest,
and l may sprinkle praises on the cast
without fear of falling amiss. Ormonde
in the part of Manuel Quinterro was re-
moved from his usual primacy, though
not so much from any failing on his part
as by the general excellence of his fellow
PLAYERS His is not big part. nor, in
deed, are any Of the parts monstrous, and
when I say that tfft best acting was aefe
in the slenderest roles / may be giving
some idea of how admirable is the per-
formance as a whole.
Miss Crosby was Carmenesque as Caro-
lima and Miss Fallon as an old Mexican
woman was In excellent character. Frank
Denithorne overacts and is too conscious,
but he may be tanned in time. This APP
plies also TO George Webster, though
there are credit marks due to both Of
these.
a part of the programme that l was
nigh to passing over was the incidental
music by Emile Bruguiere. which served
no important purpose Qncidental music
never does) and was lacking in character
and interest.
Mother Earth" was preceded by a
farce, up 10 Watkins" which should not
keep any one away from the AlcaZar.

OPENING OF THE
M0L|NEUX TRIAL
Prisoner Calm, His Fa-
ther in Tears.
Special Dispatch to The Can.

NEW YORK, Dec 4-The actual trial
of Roland b. Molineux. charged with
causing the death of Mrs. Catherine ]
Adams, by sending poison to Harry S.
Cornish, with intent to kill, commenced
to-day, though legal preliminaries have
already occupied twelve days, that much
time having ben consumed in getting a
jury. The proceedings to-day were occu-
pied by the opening address TO the Jury Of
Assistant District Attorney Osborne.
At the request OF the counsel for the
defense the Indictment found by the
Grand Jury was read in full, the prisoner
listening attentively and composedly.
When the reading of the Indictment had
concluded Mr.. Weeks moved for its dis
missal. On the ground that the proof was
not sufficient.
The court overruled the motion, and As
sistant District Attorney Osborne began
ing Introductory remarks of the attorney
for the prosecution the accuser remained
cool, calm and Indifferent in striking
contrast with the demeanor OF the
younger MolineuX was the attitude Of his
father General Leslie Molineux. Again
and again, as Mr.. Osborne attacked the
character o. the prisoner, the old man
burst intod tears. To the attempt of Mr.
Osborne TO bring into the case the name
of II. c. Barnet. who died at the Knicker-
booker Athletic Club from the effects of
cyanide Of mercury poisoning, Mr. Weeks
representing the defense, objected in most
energetic fashion. He asked the court to
order the District Attorney to not again
refer to the Barnet case The recorder
refused so to rule or to order. This Is
considered significant, as showing a dis
position on the part of the recorder to al
low the Introduction of evidence regard
ing the death OF Barnet, in so Ear as IN re-
lates to the Adams poisoning case The
court adjourned until tomorrow.

Grand Opera-House.

Once more the Grand Opera-house gave
hospitality 10 the work of local compos-
ers. This time II was the comic opera
entitled His Majesty" by II. j. Stewart
ana Peter Robertson. While 1t is rather
difficult TO form decisive opinion from
a hrs. hearing. and especially when this
first hearing was at a first production, ii
was easy TO observe that the music and
lib-etto were worthy of earnest approval.
In fact. the idea which underlies this
story is exceedingly ingenious. An al
most bankrupt country adVeruses Tor
cheap king $50 per week., VINO because OF
this insignificant stipulation is hardly
able to exist. In the midst or MS starV-
ing condition the crown prince OF
wealthy empire is announced, ana tners
is no court to receive him. Fortunately, q
stranded opera company arrives in the
capital. and the king promises 10 be pres
ent at the performance as a drawing caro-
provided the company acts as his court
during the reception of the crown prince.
With this there Is interviewer a loVe story
which IL is not necessary TO discuss
The gist of the plot lies IN the luea Oh d
hired king, and this naturally gives room
for many humorous situations, Whlch
Robertson was careful 10 emphasize. 90
We find in the second act the KING ana
terial is so good that there could be sun
more fun introduced especially IN the
first act, which seems rather long drawn
out.
William Woolf. as the king did not do
full Justice TO the splendid role he as
sumed. Neither could Hattie Bell Ladd
grasp the exceedingly delicate character
istics of a stranded "prima donna asso-
luta" This in itself is a role which could
be made exceedingly humorous. but which
in the hands of Miss Ladd lost all bur
lesoue quality. Far better than the con-
ception of Miss Ladd was the work of
Ethel Strachan, who impersonated the
soubrette of the opera company with
much ingenuity. She ought 10 receive
more prominence in the Grand Opera
house company.

to the finales and TO the ensemble music
in general. l am now more than ever con-
vinced that Mr.. Stewart is leaning toward
the serious side of composition, and am
sure he would make success OF grand

The best points in this opera are the Sc
rious passages. The quartets, gu 80
