tenor singer. The pure sweet tones of
his melodious voice were drank in until

from the dull cares of the world and
fIoated on the breeze of fairy life. He
was repeatedly enchored and responded

NOTED PIONEER
CAREER CLOSED
Joseph WrigglesWorth
Peacefully Laid to
Rest

Dead in the fleSh, but not in the soul,
Dead to the living, alive in the mold;
God in his wisdom hath taken away
The man of the flesh that's a spirit to-
day.
Another pioneer in the person of
Joseph Wrigglesworth ST. has passed to
the long away home. He was born in
Russell, st. Lawrence county, New
York, August 8, 1888. He was of
English extraction, his father having
been born in England, where he was
married. Soon after this he came to
New York, where he died. Mr.
Wrigglesworth left the home of his
birth when twenty years old, in COM
pany with one of his friends, Volney
Ellis, for the land of gold. He came
around the Horn to San Francisco.
From there he came to the thriving
town of Suffer Greek, landing in the
summer of 1853. He remained in Cali
fornia for three years, when he returned
to New York. In 1864 the draft to
secure more soldiers began and in
New York resulted in fierce riot AT
this time his name fell into the lot that
were drafted. BY some means he was
appraised of the fact before he was
officially notified. Seeing his chance he
forthwith jumped bounty taking an
other man place for the sum OF $780,
On December 30, 1865 he was married
to Lydia A. Ames, of Herman. New
York. In the summer of 1866, he
and his brother George, now one of the
engineers at the Zeila mine, came by
steamer to California, via the Isthmus,
and settled in Suffer Greek, remaining
there until 1867, when his wife came.
Shortly after this he went to Virginia
City, where they remained one winter.
From there they went to Truckee, at
that time known as Cobern station. The
place was soon after burned down, leav-
ing only one house and barber shop
standing as the weird sentines over the
destruction of the village Like magic,
out of the ashes came the town now
known as Truckee. Mr. Wrigglesworth
was there when the gold and silver
spikes we're driven at Ogden Joining
the Central and Union Pacific railroads,
forming the transcontinental line joining
the east with the west Pacific coast. AS
the last spike had been driven and the
gold and silver ones were ready the
telegraph broke the rews to Truckee.
Suddenly bells rang whistles blew and
men and women OF the place shouted in

Sues Out Writ of Mandate

j. X. Moffitt. president of the Alumni
association of the University of Cali
fornia, began suit in the superior court
yesterday for a writ of mandate com
manding the regents to seat him a
member of their body.
A bill was passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature providing that
the president of the alumni association
shall be ex officio a member of the
board of regents. The board has, how
ever. declined TO admit Moffftt as a
member, basing their action on the fact
that the number of the regents is
fixed by the constitution of the state,
and may not be increased or diminished
by act of the legislature But Moffitt
still smaintains that he is entitled to
be seated as a regent.
In his suit he states that at a regu-
lar meeting of the board of regents
October II, 1909, he presented his ere
dentials, and December IA. 1909. he
demanded that he be seated as mem
ber The regents, he says, unlawfuIly

JOVIAL TRAVfSIY
IN FOR LONG RUN
"The Merry Widow and the
Devil" Is Popular at the
Princess Theater

The Merry Widow and the Devif'
-stin serves as the merry bill at the
Princess theater. The Hobart travesty
will with Mondays performance enter
upon the fourth week of its run-a run
which Will no doubt, be the longest and
most prosperous in the history of the
Ellis street house of musical comedy.
Each night the Princess is jammed
with an enthusiastic audience. Merely
the music of 1.-The Merry Widow would
make any show, and the strange.
dreamy measures of Lehar's score are
interpreted in fine fashion by the aug
mented orchestra in the kolb and Dill
production. But there is more than the
music to The Merry Widow and the
Devil" There is burlesque that is up
roariously funny and comedy lines that
hit risibilities. Then there is the cos=
tuning and scenery, of which it may
be said without exaggeration their
equal has never been seen locally on
the musical comedy stage. In many
ways this production has been elab-
GRATED upon, and the presentation at
the Princess is unquestionably a more
lavish one than that given in New York.
Maude Lillian Berri continues to cap
tivAte the wife of the Farsovian
ambassador who longs to be a merry
widow Miss Berri has never been seen
here to such advantage and her singing
is a, delightful feature of the perform
ance.
Kolb and Dill are in their element as
the devil and. Heinrich Disch, the valet
janitor- waiter. respectively The Kolb
and Dill brand of comedy is in happy
evidence, and the burlesque Merry
Widow waltz is "a scream.
Percy Bronson is doing his best work
as Prince Da.ndilo and Laura Oakley,
Olga Stech, Sydney de Grey, Richard
Stanton, George Best, Harris Mcclure
and the other fun makers contribute
much to the success of the production.
