The morning session of the police court,

sides, was occupied this morning in eliciting
information from several citizens who had
been summoned before 1t as to the reason
they had not compiled with the city ordi-
nance requiring snow to be removed from
pavements. Quite number of citizens had
been summoned but Charlie Moy, Chi
nese laundryman. and Dr. Hugh Mcclure
were the only ones who appeared In the
dock. The evidence was that they had
done all in their power to remove the OBJ
struction and they were accordingly dis
missed
Justice Cation stated that 1t was hds inten-
ton to enforce the laws of the city in this
and every other respect. and notified Lieut..
Smith to issue warrants for those summoned
who had not appeared this morning.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Trovatore.

The largest audience of the week assem-
bled at the Columbia Theater last night to
hear the Savage Grand Opera Company IN
Verdi's III Tfovatore." Old and hackneyed
though the opera is so different in form
and construction from the modern schooi,
the story of the troubador is always heard
with pleasure. The score has such wealth
OF melody that 1t appeals to the musical
ear, and last night each familiar aria-ano
there is hardly one in the opera that is not
well known-was enthusiastically applaud
ed Many of them had to be repeated
such as the Tempest of the Heart" the
tower song, the anvil chorus, and If the
audience could have had its way Mr.. Shee-
han would have repeated his splendid rem
dition of "Di Quella Pira.' As it was lie
was given six or seven curtain calls MT.
Sheehan sang in good form, giving all his
solos with clearness and power ana his
voice ringing out in all the concerted num-
bers. It is not alone the bigness OF MS
voice that charms, but the. discretion ne
employs In Its use, as in the tenderness
shown in the love song In the fourth ACT
and in the duet with Azucena IN the prison.
Miss Newman, who was the gypsy, acteo
with admirable effect and sang with SKILL
though her voice, which is a mezzo soprano.
is hardly full enough in its lower register
to meet the requirements of the score OF
that role, which Verdi wrote for powerful
contralto, such was possessed by vest
vail. Adelaide Phillips and Annie Louise
Cary.
Mr. Golf was a forceful Count di Luna
and sang all his numbers In a muslcian!y
manner. He was particularly effective In
the Tempest of the Heart" which, as mas
already been said, he had to repeat, and IN
the trio at the close of the third act. HIS
acting was all that could be desired, ana
the acting ability Of all the principals OF
this company Is a welcome relief to the
usual presentations Of grand opera.
Miss Brooks was the Leonora, and sang
the ornate music in a most conscientious
manner. Her voice has been well trained
and is particularly effective in colorature
work. She proved herself a good actress
although there were times when she hard
ly came up to the spirit and zeal Of her as
sociates.
The chorus work was especially effective
in the anvil chorus, and the opera was
handsomely mounted. The orchestra, under
the baton of Conductor Emanuel, was ade-
Quate.
Tonight Puccini's 'Tosca" will be given.

Police Say Beware of Pickpockets.

Headquarters detectives are anticipating
a visit to this city of professional pick
pockets who have been operating in Phila-
delphia and Baltimore. Their work was
confined to crowded street cars, and the
police think 1t will be we'll for street car
passengers to be careful about their money
and timepieces The thieves had a good
time in Philadelphia, and yesterday one
watch was secured in Baltimore. A second
victim was selected, but he detected the
man while he was in the act of taking his
watch, and made an effort to have him ap-
pretended. He called on the conductor for
assistance, but the latter for some reason
failed to respond and the pickpocket got
away.
