ASHTON STEVENS,
California.

A year has gone by since the Black
Patti and her tuneful companions, and
the witty and versatile Ernest Hogan, the
prince of black comedians, gave San
Francisco a taste of their quality but
they were remembered as kindly and well
coined as warmly last night as though
they had not been gone a week.
Patti has not changed since her last
appearance She has the same cheerful
voice and the same atrocious style of
singing. the first making the nearer glad
the second sad.
The show. is brimful of fun. broadening
into farce, but 1t is all good natured and
mirth provoking There are three pretty
girls in the lot, SO white of skin as to ex-
cite surprise.

Tivoli.
The Tivoli scored another genuine sue
cess last night Madeleine, or the Magic
Kiss" is one Of the. brightest and most
catchy comic operas that has been seen
here in many moons, and should prove a
drawing card for weeks to come The
large audience accepted the play from
the first number, and recalls were so FREE
quent that it was nearly midnight before
the curtain was rung down for the last
time.
The story Of Madeleine, or the Magic
Kiss is based on legend concerning the
house OF De Grimm. which prophesies
that any Baron of that line who remains
a bachelor and reaches the age Of 100
years, may, on attaining his: hundredth
birthday, have seventy-tVe years taken
off his age, providing he is kissed before
noon of that day by a maiden who has at
tanned her majority without ever having
been kissed by man or boy. -
The Baron de Grimm has remained a
bachelor and has raised his ward Made
leine under solemn promise to give her
maiden kiss to him on his hhndredth
birthday Many amusing complications
grow out of this state of affairs. More
fun is added by the power which is given
the Baron to bestow some of his physical
attributes upon his friends when he re-
gains his twenty-f1fth birthday Upon his
physician, Dr. Gourmet he bestows his
phenomenal appetite.

LONDON, oct. SO,-A dispatch to the
Associated Press from Ladysmith this
evening. which was sent at express
rates, came through In the remarkable
time of two hours It shows the crisis
which the present stage Of war oper-
ations has reached and that the attack

has opened,
Apparently the Beers have concen-
trated for a supreme effort on Lady

organized the German corps, which was

great are their recuperative powers,
and their fertility of resources,
