When the general public-or as much
ets-enters the new Tivoli Opera
house tomorrow evening It will see
very little to remind it of the old Tiv-
oil that for thirty consecutive years
endeavored to give what San Francisco
demanded in the way of combined niu-
sical and dramatic entertainment
The transformation eclipses in com
pleteness anything of the kind ever
produced upon the stage of the vener-
able structure that has been aban-
doned. Manager Leahy told it all
when he stated that only the human
features of the old Tivoli had been
moved across the street.
Even the atmosphere is changed. The
odors inseparable from staleness have
given way to the more pleasant ones
pertaining to. fresh paint and uphol-
stery. Sentimentalists may grieve
when they first miss the hard-seated
straightforward chairs in which they
sat in the old house, but such regrets
cannot withstand the onslaught Of
solid comfort that comes with reclining
at the proper ease angle in a seat of
padded leather and with enough space
in front to enable the legs to be ex-
tended or crossed without kicking eny-
thing. 1t is also much more agreeable
to have an unobstructed view of the
q a 90 x1yff a,,fy -tt
and wish mean things of the large
headed man or big -coiffured woman
whom fate has placed in your line of
vision. The ld-timer who sits in the
new Tivoli may sigh perchence for the
old Tivoli and the old days-and more
power to him for so doing-but it would
be unwise to bet on his willingness to
give up the new for the old
ENTIRELY MODERN.
There are few theaters anywhere to
compare with the new Tivoli in all the
modern essentials to public convent

Portable and as safe as strict compli-
ance with the building and fire ordi-
nances could make it. Architectural
ingenuity and decorative art have made
it a playhouse that any city on earth
might justly be proud of, and that San
Francisco is proud of it finds nianifes-
tation every time loyal citizen is al
lowed to inspect its interior. Pride is
also reflected from every glance cast
upon the unfinished exterior by the
townfolk who pass it.
AS the exterior speaks for itself-or,
at least, will speak with more respect

scoTT'S EMULSION.

There is no specific for
consumption. The nearest
approach to a cure is right
living and SCOTS Emulsion.
No matter what the. treat
ment may be SCOTS Emul-
sion will prove a valuable
addition. 1t has often turned
the scale of health the right
way. Because SCOTS Emul-
sion contains the pure cod
liver oil it furnishes heat and
fat The hypophosphites pro-
vide tissue-food, blood-food
and marrow-food. The COM
bination of the two represents
a wonderful form of nourish-
ment and one that can be
readily taken and retained at
any stage of the disease.
SCOTS Emulsion gives best
results when used most reg
ularly. Made a part of the
consumptive's regular diet it
will invariably afford relief.
Occasional use of SCOTS
Emulsion is a test unfair to
the Emulsion and the patient.

McKOWEN NOT INsANE.

President Wheeler does not believe
that McKowen will attempt to evads
the penalty for his crime by pleading
insanity or relying on some technicality
in the proceedings of the law.
He is not insane" said President
Wheeler That plea would not work
in this case. And 1 don't believe there
is any chance for him to take .advan-
tage Of technicalities. We have checks
in our possession that were cashed by
him, and on these he certainly must
have secured the money"
President Wheeler denies the story
that $4,000 entrusted to him by the par
ents Of Filipino children being educated
in this country were engulfed by Nc
Kowen's race track operations. Luck
lily for President Wheeler this money
was safeguarded in such a way that
McKowen could not have spent it if he
would and therefore not cent of it
has been misspent.
That money I held in my own
name" said President Wheeler. TT
was no matter of the university's at
all II is true that McKowen dispensed
the money for the maintenance Of these
Filipino boys, but it was done under
my direction and it was impossible for
him to get hold of any more money
than 1 was willing to give. I have
vouchers for all the money that was
paid out for these boys"

VIEWING THE STAGE.

From the middle front of the dress
circle is the best place to view the
boxes and stage. The great proscenium
arch, brilliant with its many electric
lights, rich in gold and artistic decora-
tions, encircling the stage opening and
fiaring out to sides and ceiling to the
very center of the house, some 80 feet
In depth, with its open ornate boxes
gracefully stepping from line of balcony
to stage level, and with its further
magnificent plastic ornamental arcade
settings as background to boxes ris-
ing to the full height of the audito-
rum, is a decorative feature worthy of
note. The stage is 100 feet in width,
6S feet in depth and so feet in height,
and its construction is up-to-date in
every detail. 1t is equipped with an
asbestos curtain and a set of scenery
upon which the painters have been at
work for months. The electrical switch
board is patterned after that of the
Metropolitan Opera house, New York.
Numerous airy dressing g-rooms promise
comfort for the performers.
Throughout the interior the decorat-
i've work is an artistic combination Of

RUSSIA PAID BOUNTY.
supreme Court Decision in the
Downs Case.


Downs Case.
Washington, Jan. Sin an opinion
handed down by Justice Brown to-day.
the United States Supreme Court de-
cided in the Downs case that the
money paid by the Russian govern
ment on sugar exported is a bounty.
and that the collector of customs at
Baltimore was justified in levying a
countervailing duty on Russian sugar
under the terms of the Dingley law.
In delivering the opinion of the court.
Justice Brown said it involved only the
one question as to whether under the
laws and regulations of Russia a
bounty is allowed upon the export of
sugar, which subjects such sugar upon
its importation into the United States
to an additional duty.
1t appears that free sugar, which
may be sold in Russia as the normal
excise of 1.75-100 rubles per pound
may be exported under a permit from
the excise office upon the return Of
a free sugar certificate with the Gus
tom house export mark. the excise then
crediting the exported quantity of
sugar to the free surplus of the mill
which is subject to double the tax of
LIS rubles.
Discussing this certificate, Justice
Brown said:
1T is practically admitted in this
case that bounty equal to the value
of these certificates is paid by the Rus
sian government, and the main argu-
ment of the petitioner is addressed to
the proposition that this bounty is paid,
not upon expectation but upon produc-
ton. The answer to this is that every
bounty upon expectation must to GER
tain extent operate as a bounty upon
production, since nothing can be ex-
ported which is not produced, and
hence a bounty upon expectation by
creating a foreign demand stimulates
an increased production to the extent
of such demand Consequently a
bounty upon production operates 10 a
certain extent as a bounty upon ex-
portation."

FOR MIGHTY CRUISERS.
Bids Opened for the Finest Ever
Designed for the Navy.

Washington, d. c., Jan. Bids for
the construction of the two most pow
erful armored cruisers ever designed
for the United States Navy were OPEN
ed at the Navy Department to-day,
and within a day or two it is probable
the result will be announced and the
contracts awarded. 1t is said the bid
ding for the construction of these two
ships has been unusually active, pro-
posals having been received from near
ly every concern in the country, hav-
ing a plant capable of turning out a
warship Of the desired type.
The two ships will cost not less than
$500 900 each, and will be the costliest
vessels in the navy. the price being
greater by several hundred thousand
dollars than that of the heaviest bat
tleship. The cruisers will be known
as the Tennessee and the Washington,
and are the vessels about which a dis
agreement arose in the Board of Con-
struction as to whether power should
be sacrificed to speed. A negative de-
cision was reached.
The yards awarded the contracts VIII
receive from the government not less
than $4,000 900 each for the construct ton
of hulls and machinery. and the armor
factories will receive practically the re-
mainder. Nearly two years time was
devoted by the experts TO the designs
for these cruisers. and Il will be at
least three years before they are CON-
pleted.
