First Women on the English Stage.
1t is only with the restoration drama
that the annals of actresses on the
English Stage begin. Queen Henrietta
Maria, wHe of Charles l., had early
made Yain attempt to introduce the
French fa.hion of female players into
her adopt.Nl country by the establish
ment Of French company composed
only of women In London. But the ex-
pertinent ras premature, and the for
eigners were Kissed and peited off the
stage at tissir first performance.
Until 1863 the female parts had al
ways been taken by boys. and the Gus
tom survived even after women had
taken theif place upon the stage, since
some OF tts more famous of the boy
actors {grV'sn into mem continued oc-
casionaily 80 play their fayorite roles
as late as the end of the seventeenth
century. K.'naston, the chief boy actor,
survived TIL 1900, long after the ladies'
had oustcu him from the principal
parts. and IN 1861 Pepys, who saw him
in the "Siielt Woman" speaks of him
as 1.-The iiseiest lady for o boy" he had
ever seen,

INVISIBLE LIGHT.


eb&p ~ IAN II nc seen.
What is the simplest demonstration
of the fact that light is invisible?
The blackncss of midnight sky
demonstrates this fact most readily.
We may see the planets OF the moon
brilliantly Illuminated by the suns
rays but the surrounding space Is
dark. although we know that light
must be passing there.
The passage Of n beam Of light
flrodgh darkened room Is only visi-
BILE on the dust in the air, and the cone
of light seen when the sun shines
through small hole in a shutter is
not visible, but only light reflected
from the notes in the beam. This can
be easily and simply demonstrated by
placing in the beam glass vessel
from which the dust has been carefully
removed. The beam then may be seen
before and after entering the vessel,
but is invisible within. A Bunsen
burner or n redhot poker held so as to
destroy the notes will also render the
beam invisible at that spot.
Light Is only visible when 1t strikes
on the rrtina of the eye, and it can
only do r., when it reaches it in a d.

FEAR THEIR RELATIVE
HAS BEEN SHANGHAIED

JANESVILLE. Wis. Dec. 23.-Rela-
tives of Rudolph McCummings of
Janesville fear the young man has been
shanghaied on board a vessel on the
Pacific Ocean Young McCummings
left Portland, Or, many months ago.
To-day his mother received card from
the German Consul at Victoria reading:
The Asternix, with Rudolph McCum-
mings on board, has touched at this
port. II you wish to communicate with
him you must do so Immediately, as. the
boat leaves soon for parts unknown"
The card bore the date of Decem-
Der 70.
The German Consul was wired to-day
asking If the young man was detained
against his viii. and requested he be
taken from the boat. Relatives are de-
termined TO investigate the affair thor

have received, San Francisco opened
her arms and honored him and the
Tivou mana cement did much TO make
the great artist feel that he was at
home and among people whose hearts
beat as warmly a. those Of his native
land. (Applause)
In passing tonight I feel il a duty
to say a word for the orchestra of the
Tivoli Opera house (applause), that we
in San Francisco have always looked
to as the best of it's kind in our city
We have had at the head of that or
chestra men of world wide reputation,
but, ladies and gentlemen. l say to-
night that we have never had a more
capable or conscientious man at the
head of it than we have now in the per-
son of Paul Steindorff. (Applause)
Now this great temple dedicated to
song belongs to you. 1t is true that
it will be managed by the Tivoli Com
pany, but it belongs to you and through
your patronage and by the giving or
withholding of it you can compel the
management t6 cater TO your wishes
and to give you the best. Let US hope
that this outpOuring tonight is only
a sample of what will continue, and
let Us hope that those who love art
for arts sake will. by their patronage,
show their appreciation of the manage
ment of this place, that has done so
much in the past for music. Ladies and
gentlemen, thank YOU" (Applause)

Lieutenant Williams responded very
neatly. He said that during the last
year he had done his best 10 raise the
standard OF the band. but the results
achieved had been due not so much to
his efforts as TO the painstaking work
OF the members.
Father O'Reilly, spiritual director Of
the league, and Father Kennedy were
next called upon and made speeches

decided that the old Tivoli comic opera
company was about as good as there
was going.
The additions, however. are valuable.
Anna LIGHTER is an old favorite and
looking prettier than ever. and Schus-
ter's big basso Will be handsomely use
full when he gets something TO do with
il. Bessie Tannehill is also favorably
known here for her work with the
Dunno & Ryley company, and Wallace
Brownlow, the new barytone, shows
good voice. handsome presence and the
ease Of experience.
Mr.. Steindorff drew first blood in the
applause. The popular conductor was
warmly cheered as he took up the
baton. Then Annie Myers, who is the
Ixion Of the cast, came in for a hearty
round. Annie is the same plump and
piquant person as Of yore, but even
this gingery little soubrette cannot do
much with Ixion. Then followed Hart
man. who also hasn't enough TO do with
the case, TO the tune Of a warm well
come. Each in turn. was so greeted in
fact, the audience clapped whenever il
had a chance.
Webb has the single opportunity Of
the piece. and is rayishingly funny as
Minerva, in a blade psyche knot, and
breastplate. He drew the first laugh
and most OF the rest, and certainly
makes the most Of his material. He
has some good songs; one particularly,
'Oh. Be Careful" was hilariously en-
cored. Arthur Cunningham has an
other good song. When Jupiter Leads
His own Brigade" He is in fine form
and set the heels stamping to his spirit
ed song. Wallace Brownlow is cast as
Apollo and has no great chance to show
his mettle. He has q pleasant. rather
light barytone, and as before said, the
manner Of an accomplished actor-aIso.
a penchent for stepping upon trains.
Anna LIGHTERS one song was one Of the
bright spots Of the evening. She is cast
as Juno-thOugh it makes no differ
ence. Others Of the cast are Eunice
Gilman. a clever small girl: Aimee Lei
cester, Flora Norris. Nettie Deglow and
q tiny premiere danseuse, Baby Agnes
Russell.
But the ballets are the chief attrac-
ton Of the piece. They are excellentlv
planned and prettily executed. one

LARGE Sun OF MONEY
Is SAVED TO THE STATE
Recent Rejection OF Bids for the
ConslructiOn Of Sea Wall

The Board Of Harbor Commission
ers yesterday awarded a contract for
the construction q 500 feet OF sea
wall, 10 extend north from Channel
street 10 Gray Bros. and in accepting
the bid OF that firm ir clearly vindi-
Gated Us members in their recent re-
fusal 10 act upon previous bids for
the same work. Some weeks ago the
board opened a number Of bids. the
lowest Of which was S111.1O0. As this
bid exceeded by a large figure the esti-
mate OF the harbO- engineer. the Com
uissiouers. after a careful considera-
ti0n Of the matter. finally rejected all
~ them and advertised again on the
same proposal with the result that
the state is saved s17.7O0.
At the time the first bids were open
cd the suspicion prevailed that a ring
had been formed for the purpose Of
forcing the Commissioners TO pay an
excessive price for the work. but if
board ir did not make known the fact
although i-s rejection OF the bids
strengthened the general supposition
that it was inclined TO take that view
Of the matter. AT all events, il was
satisfied that the bids were excessive

frmed when Gray Bros. yesterday

small stage TO the second largest in

one Of the finest in America. For the
must Of thirty years beer and smoke
there is the smell OF fresh paint. for
the crush OF the tiny old foyer the
spaciousness Of fine promena6es. There
are perhaps half q dozen seats in the

Patrons Praise Management for Giving Public Modern
and Sumptuous Temple of Music

Unlike the old Tivon the house was
free from tobacco smoke This inno-
vation was greatly appreciated by the
ladies. The true bohemian who likes
70 sit and blow rings in the air while
listening TO the music of his favorite
opera had to seek the cafe or the
lounging-room on the top floor to
smoke.
An elevator that will carry ten peO-
pie without danger of breaking down
or stalling between floors is i pleasing
feature of the house. Many avaiIed
themselves OF the opportunity 20 ascend
to the second balcony by modern meth
DDS. When the performance was over
there was no crowding. The stairways
are wide and the audience was able
TO descend without crushing.
Conductor Paul Steindorf and his
orchestra received a warn welcome
when they took their seats before the
5I5ecing of the performance Many
handsome floral pieces were sent to the
leading people in the cast
Manager William. H. Leahy was busy
the entire evening looking after the
comforts of the patrons of the house.
MAYOR SCHMITZ SPEAKS.
Ferris Hartman. attired in a box
overcoat and posing as man of let
ters. strode on the stage after the cur
tain had fallen on the first act. He was
followed by Mayor Eugene z. Schmitz.
who was on the management's pro-
gramme to deliver a speech. The Mayor
did not know this until after he had
taken his seat in his box, and the sum
mons to appear behind the scenes was
as sudden as it was unexpected.
i wish TO introduce. Hartman start
ed out to say. but the applause over
took him and he rhymed his short
speech by exclaiming, 'Oh, what's the
use"
The Mayor took his cue, and when
the greeting he received had subsided
spoke as follows:
Don't be alarmed, ladies and gen
tlemen, am not going 10 sing. Gaugh-
teri 1 have been asked by the man
agement this evening to say a few
words for it and on behalf of the city
of San Francisco on this occasion. the
formal opening and dedication of the
new TivoH. San Francisco. as probably
you all know, is known all over the
United States as the greatest musical
city on this continent; not because it
has a musical Mayor Oaughter), or, as
some of my opponents in the last cam
paign called me, a fddling Mayor but
because the people of San Francisco
know what is and appreciate the best
In musical art. (Applause.)
This great outpouring tonight is
not only composed of the best citizens
Of San Francisco, but is composed of
the music loving people of the city.
those who love art for arts sake. The
Tivoli Opera house in the last thirty
years has done much to educate the
people in the art of music.
MUSICAL FAME OF CITY.
THE musical fame of San Francisco
mas been maintained on many an occa-
sion by the Tivoli management. Once, |
| remember very well, and 1 am sure
you all remember it: 1 allude to the |
time we were visited by that great |
Pietro Mascagni. (Applause) |

titles of the United States, that did not |
accord him the treatment he should !
