Tivoli's New Prima Donna.

Long after the echoes of the present
Tivoli grand opera season have died away
there will remain in the memory of those
who attended Faust last evening
Marguerite the like of which is but rarely
found. You may have heard the role rem
dered by vocalists of wider reputation
than that of Nine. de Pasquali, you may
have succumbed to the fame of one or the
other Marguerites, but it is an indisput-
able fact that you have never heard it
sung any better. Nine. Pasqualfs So
prano is so caressing, so pure, that 1t
rings in your ears like the dying sound of
silver bell. She phrases with an eXacti-
tude and care that bring every note into
bold relief, and, most OF all, she sings
with so much taste and warm color and
a temperament that rouses enthusiasm.
Marguerite acted as well as sung and 1t
is exceedingly gratifying to note that
Nine. de PasquaI makes the htstrionic
part of Marguerite important IS the
musical.
In view of the fact that Nine. de Pas
quail has hitherto devoted most of her
time to concert work it is but fair to state
that after such a tremendous success she
should remain on the operate stage. The
jewel song was a masterpiece of first
grade and received two most enthusiastic
encores. In the trio she became even dra-
matte and in no instance did she forget
that she had to be actress as well as
singer. Nine. de Pasquan has a brilliant
future. She is a native of Boston and
studied in New York. This is a striking
example of the fact that America can
ance of Europe. -

The steam schooner Noyo did consider

shipping offices on the wharf was knocked

DIED ON THE STREET.
Mrs. Mamie Cusick Found Lifeless in
Doorway

Mrs Mamie Cusick, a woman about &c
wears of age, was found dead in a door
way at 1915 Market street about half-past
6 o'clock last evening. The cause of her
death is yet mystery, but it is the opin-
ion of many persons who knew her that
sh. succumbed to natural causes, the re-
suit of overndugences in liquor.
Pedestrians on Market street found the
unfortunate woman crouched in the door
way and summoned officer T. F. Como

might possibly not be extinct called a

Receiying Hospital. Upon her arrival
there it was found that she was dead and

Ties Flarnigan and La Combe conveyed
the body to the Morgue.

COURTING TRADE.
Manufacturers and Wholesalers
League to Entertain Their
Guests

The officers of the Manufacturers and
Wholesalers League are highly pleased
with the progress made by the members
in perfecting plans for inducing buyers
to make their purchases In this city IN
stead of sending orders for goods to the
East. AS has been previously stated, it
is necessary to offer some inducement to
the country merchants to make the de-
sired change, and this is what the
league is doing. In the first place efforts
will be made to have buyers come to the
city and deal with the wholesalers direct.
One important feature is similar to that
practiced by the wholesalers of some of
the Eastern cities offering transportation
to and from the city at greatly reduced
rates.
Several of the railroads of the Coast
States have offered rates that will make
transportation very cheap. More than
this, the rates will apply to the families
of the prospective buyers. The officers
of the league yesterday received a COM
munication from the proprtetors of the
best hotels in the city stating that they
would make reductions in board and lodg-
ing during the stay of the visitors from
the country The managers of the thea
tiers also agreed to entertain those in
dorsed by the league at special Dricez-

DEMENTED WOMAN.
One OF the Best Servants In the City
Locked Up.

There was touching scene at the
county Jail this morning when Mex
lean girl, who has for years been em-
ployed by DR.. Villas as a domestic, was
locked up on the change of insanity.
The officers were asked to come out
to the Villas residence aud arrest the
woman and Deputies Heep and Com
stock responded. When they got there
she refused to leave the premises with
them. Finally Mrs. Villas invited her
to take ride and drove direct to the
jail.
Mrs. Villas alighted and went into
the reception room at the Jail and be
woman followed her. When Mrs.
Villas turned to leave the woman at
tempted to follow her out, but her
egress was barred by Deputies Jenkins
aud Keeps and Mexico trusty.
1t required the com ined efforts +
the three men to overpower the wo-
mau ADD lock her up, and several per-
sons in the vicinity wept at the poor
creatures in etfectusl struggles.
The woman had been employed at
the Villas home for years and was con-
sfdered one of the best servants in the
city. Her mind began failing short
time ago, however, ard it was deemed
advisable to have her imprisoned, for,
it is alleged, she had made several
threats to kill and at times was
