/" "PPURITANI
GIVES TIVOLI
NEW SUCCESS

The reintroduction of ''IPuritani'' to
San Francisco audience at the Tivoli
last evening was equivalent to a first
acquaintance to a large majority OF
those who filed the opera-house amply
from top to bottom. It is a strenuous
work for those to whom the leading
roles fall. because they have so much
to do. The last opera to be written by
the prolific Bellini, who turned out
seven In period of eleven years, and
all before he was 33 years old, it bears
the mark Of ripper thinking than some
Of the earlier works that bear his
name. In contriving means to reach a
satisfactory ensemble effect it is supe-
rior to Norma" which is generally ac-
counted to be Bellini's best.
The wonder Is that 'IPuritani" is
not often produced. Tetrazzini found
1T a competent vehicle to carry her high
liquid notes, her roulades, her trills. In
its languishing arias she awakened the
customary TetrazZini storm of enthu-
siasm, which extended to Signor Polac-
co. Signor Cervi and Signor Romboli
achieved tremendous success in the
great duet In the second act, Sound
the Trumpet Boldly" Signor Coli sang
the music Of his role, that of the lover.
with as much tenderness as his per-
sistent vtbrato would permit. The Choir
us was much used and proved to be
strong and tuneful to a degree.

Gently that it became apparent that
the more fatal malady had seized upon
him. He continued to work until about
a week ago, when he was forced to
seek medical assistance.

won by his affable manner, especially
among those> with whom he worked

REGULAR DUTY
FOR ALL WHEAT
Senate Adopts Amendment
OF Hansbrough Relative to
Drawback on the Cereal
DEBATE GROWS BRISK
Agricultural Bill Passed
by the Upper House With
but the Single Alteration

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Senate
to-day passed the agricultural appro-
priation bill and took up the District of
Columbia appropriation bill The
Hansbrough amendment to the agricul-
tural bill. relative to the drawbacks on
wheat, was agreed to. after an extended
debate. in which the tariff question
figured to a considerable extent. The
amendment declares that paragraph 234
OF the act, which imposes a specific
duty on wheat, shall not be held to be
affected by section 80 of the same act,
which provides for a drawback on i'm
ture.
Pettus made the point that the
amendment was out of order. remark
Ing, however, that the effect OF the
drawback was to defraud the farmers
and rob the United States Treasury of
it's dues. His point was not sustained.
An amendment suggested by Allison
intention Of the Dingley law and con-
f1ning it to the operation OF the law,
was accepted
"Will the Senator who had much TO
do with framing the law say that 1T
was intended to nullify the provisions
of the duty?" asked Hansbrough.
Allison replied that it was intended
that the drawback feature Of the tariff
should be greatly enlarged
Patterson suggested an amendment
making the provision applicable to lead
ores as well as wheat.
1.-THE mining industry Is as important
In some parts of the country as the
milling industry Is in Others" Patter-
son said, ''and all that ask Is that that
industry shall have the benefit of the
proposed declaration"
down. Hansbrough's amendment was
agreed to. The bill as amended was
then passed and the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill taken up.

MANY MORE STREETS ARE
TO BE REPAIRED AT ONCE
Board OF Works VIII Invite Bids for
Work and Also Building Of
Beach Parapet

oCtsCu L dTdpCCs
Commissioner Aigeltinger yesterday
had resolutions prepared for adoption
by the Board Of Works at its meeting
to-day inviting sealed proposals for
the repair of bituminous pavements
on the following streets:
Golden Gate avenue, Turk, Eddy,
Ellis. O'Farrell. McAllister. Fulton,
Grove, Hayes, Fell, Oak, Geary and
Post streets, from Van Ness avenue to
Devisadero street; Van Ness avenue
Buchanan and Webster streets from
Market to Post; Fillmore. Steiner.
Pierce, Scott and Devisadero streets
from Waller to Post; Page, Haight
and Waller streets from Market to
Devisadero.
Aigeltinger believes that putting up
contracts for competitive bidding is
the only proper method, although he
has been requested to parcel out the
work SO that 1t could be done for sums
less than $500 In each instance. which
would not require advertising. He
hopes to have most Of the worst
streets repaired by next July. Con-
tracts will also be let to keep Market
street In constant repair.
The Board Of Works will also let q
contract for building parapet along
the beach to the Cliff House for
$4,000. The Board of Supervisors
wanted the work done by days labor
and had a resolution prepared at last
Mondays meeting, but it was with
drawn because Aigeltinger showed ii
would be more profitable for the city
to enter into contract for the i'm
provement. A new resolution to that
effect will be adpoted at next Mon
days meeting.

PROGRESS OF A NATIONAL
INSTITUTION.
Enormous Figures Dealt in by The
Prudential of Newark


Prudential of Newark.
The twenty-ninth annual statement of The
Prudential Of Newark. N. J.. which is pub
lished on another page, shows the Company to
be stronger financially and in public confidence
than ever before Tho year 1904 10 reported to
have been one Of unusual gains In every de-
partment Of the Company's business The
Company issued and paid for In new insurance
during the year over 312 million dollars, which
is the largest of any single years results In the
Company's history. The number of policies in
force has been increased by over 500 thousand
bringing the total number Of policies in force
UP to nearly six millions. The total amount
OF insurance at risk is over one billion dollars.
In payment TO policy-holders The Prudential
hberality. During the year Tho Prudential
paid to policyholders over 13 million dollars,
while since the organization of the Company
the total payment to its policyholders has been
over 92 million dollars. One interesting fea-
ture brought out In the statement is the fact
that in cash dividends and other concessions
not stipulated in original contracts. The Pru-
Dental has paid to holders of old policies over
8 million dollars When changes are made in
pollcy contracts or rates which result in In
creased hberality to the insured. The Pr7lden-
ta1 always makes such changes retroactive,
wherever 1t Is practicable to do 80, and the
above payment is the result OF this well de-
fined policy on the part of tho Company
Nearly "a million dollars Is held as reserve
by the Company to protect policy contracts
and the assets include q surplus to policy
holders OF $l3, ,325, ,S66 33. The complete sched-
ule OF bonds owned by Tho Prudential shows
the securities to be of the highest grade AL
togetner the statement Is unusually salts
factory one to the Company and its policyhold-
erg.

schur Child in Good Care.

Judge Coffey had another short
session with the Stoddard-Schur
guardianship controversy yesterday,
and finding that the father of little
Lille Schur had placed her in the care
or woman named Bertha Leader,
decided to leave her there for a month
Oh probation. Fannie Stoddard is the
aunt of the child and wants the
custody. She is the sister of the girls
mother, who was Schur's second wife.
1t appears from the evidence that the
first wife, from whom Schur had been
divorced, began living with him again
three days before the second wife
died. She continued to act as his
hcusekeeper, and it was said that they
intended to remarry. Yesterday, how
ever, Schur said that he had left the
woman and did not intend to marry
her. This seemed to remove the
chief objection to the child's remain
ing with her father, and the court
would not grant the aunt's petition.
