THROUGH THE OPERA CLASS The Eighth Baldwin Season Be- gins With Palmer's Company. QUEENSLAND "CAPTAIN SWIFT." "The City Directory "—Mr. Curtis' New Play Coming— My Best Friend "— Strauss' "Indigo." "Prince and Pauper" — Planel's Movements — Morocco's — Jot- tings — The Musical World Abroad — De Vivo's New Star. Is Langtry Sick or Well? The eighth season of the Baldwin under the Il.i man management will begin to-morrow even- ing with splendid eclat, graced by the presence of tie Palmer players in a new piece. Haddon Chambers' "Captain Swill," the place of action, while written by aD Australian author and carry- ing a colonial interest, being in Loudon. Cham- bers has of late come pretty well to the front as a writer for the stage. Besides the present play he has already launched another, oilglnally called '•The Banquet." now rechristeiied " 1lie Idler," which Daniel Frohnian has arranged to control In the United States. "Captain -swift," as we gather from tiustwortby Eastern sources, has proved a notable success wherever produced In tbe old Slates, quite as much on account of its Austtal origin as lor the most ingenious manner In .which ibe dramatic Incidents are com- pacts. The Colony of Queensland, from whence the principal characters hall. Is tbe northeastern portion of the Australian Comment and was formerly known under the name of tbe Moreton Bay District, the name Moreton having been conferred by Captain Cook, who discovered it May, 1770, in honor of Ids patron, the Earl of Moreton, and President of the Royal Society. This colony has been the scene of much wild adventnie, as other parts of tbe same continent have been; and ills stir- prising thai from such a fruitful source more material has not been gathered by the hand of the dramatist, which reaches out in every direc- tion tor stage pabulum. I; Is a moot point an. ing critics In England and the United Slates if Chambers bas uot given In the Queensland play one quite as good, In all dramatic essen- tia as Sir Charles young's "Jim, Hie penman," considered a masterpiece among modern con- tributions to stage literature; but this point our press and i nbllc will be able to settle to their own satisfaction to-morrow evening. Certainly, so far as a good company lo inteipret It Is con- cerned there will be nothing wautin... Arefer- ence to the cast will prove this: THE CAST OK "CAPTAIN SWirT." _ar.

Meantime the vivacious lady and her excellent company are running along pleasantly to the close. "LadyPeggy" proved most acceptable to the theater's patrons, not only on account of Miss McHeury's acting lv the title role, but also by reason of the very Intelligent and eiliclent support witu which sue has surrounded herself, Tbe cast Is particularly stioug iv the female por- tion. Miss Louise Ihal. for example, Is excep- tionally good in toe pari of Mary sommers, show- ing hue artistic taste in its delineation. Clara Bskei-Kn«t is also effective as Daphne Thorpe.

O'Vrlll's "Dead Heart." ItIs now generally conceded that Mr. James O'Neill's production of "The Dead Heart" promises to equal, II not to surpass, Ibe success lie achieved by " Monte Cilsto." All the scen- ery, costumes end stage properties he uses originally belonged to Henry Irving aud were pui chased from him. The present engagement In Chicago has exceeded expectations and has been twice extended. It has just closed to good business. The coutradlcioiy feature to be on- seivea in tbe ptolcssion just now, it may bo added. is that while some ol Its members are in- clined to pooh-pooh work by old dramatists as rococo and wlibout interest or drawing strength, oibeis wllli urn:, sagacity lake lt up aud make fame and fortune by Hie venture.

The present difference between Gilbert and Sullivan Is not the first, says Figaro, for after Ibe production of "Tbespls, or the' Hods Grown Older," Mr. Gilbert wrote "Princess Toto" to music by the laic Frederick Clay, and Sir Arthur Sullivan composed the music of the "Zoo" to a libretto by H. C. Siepheusou. This, however, did not ii event Sullivan and Gilbert from coming together agatu in lie same year with "Trial by Jury." and afterwaid with "The Suicerer," in- augurating Hie series of comic operas which have delighted successive audieuces during the past twelve years. Uncertainty About Lsngtry. Differing reports come to hand concerning the Jersey Lily. One, that her London season has been a most disastrous failure, that her old fileuds have forsaken her and that her health lias completely bruken down. Another, that her disease is pleurisy and an operation will be necessary. A third, that shu has dlsbauded her company, and the London papers think It very doubtful If she Is ever able to attain appear ou the stage. She is ill, friendless, but fortunately not iv want. On ibis peculiar slfnwlug a Chicago paper says: "Although Mrs. Langtry's Illness Is deeply regretted the drama will lose nothing by l.er letiremeiit. ll Is a pity that she ever at- tempted to act." A very line remark, but It comes too laic. ll ought lo have been made by the | less and reiterated, when the people of Ilia United Stales had thrown themselves al her sub- stantial English feet. As a pendant to the above reports, comes later the following commonplace and business-Hue slalemeiil: "According to her present piogrammo Mis. l.itugirywill leave ihe si. James' Theater at Christmas and begin her projected tour llirough South America." 'Hie Jersey woman Is Inn. down— a laiiuie, sick, penniless, and at Hie same lime preparing for a professional lour to South America! 1In. Late Airs. Stuart Itobson.

Ills asserted that Mr. Branson Howard has received as high as $11300 In one week on royal- ties fiom the two companies playing "Shenan- doah." Tills statement is deceptive. Mr. How- ard is nol paid in royalties; he has a direct lu- teiest In the properly and Is paid a percentage. So far the play lias yielded Mm nearly £50,000. Mr. Howard's agent says: "Young dramatists want to keep Ibelr eyes on these figures. They brighten il.evisias dowu which snuggling au- thors are always looking lor the coming of for- tune. Itmeans untold wealth for them if they wine the light kind of play. But Itmust be an- other 'Slieiianiio.ili.'

Mr. Uowatd undoubtedly is a good model to follow, but belier plays than "Shenandoah" have failed utterly to make for- tune for their writers, and mauy just as good have yielded bul a modest income.

Le Franco Californien of yesterday morn- ing editorially protested against the un- called for indignity cast upon the French and Italian born citizens in assigning them to a place in the line in the parade on Fri- day behind the advertising "floats." The editorial is as follows: In .n.i liter portion of this paper Is given an account ol ibe celebration yesleiday, bul In this column we enter a most energetic protest against the push lon assigned by the Committee of Ar- langemruis lo our three militarycompanies aud to the Italian millt.-iiy companies.

"r°k i The hulk that lay in tho bight at 4\li" North Beach, between Meiggs Wharf and the sandy point, at the ex- tremity of which were located once Selby's Smelling Works, was that of the Cadmus, used as an asylum for the insane until the founding of the Institution at Stock- ton in 1851, after which she was used as a hospital for small-pox patients, ami as such Dr. A- B. Stout had charge in 1852, and Dr. J. C. Tucker in 1853. Tbe hulk lay lor years in the cove at a point where Jones and Francisco streets now intersect, and "finally in the sixties was broken up. The Cadmus was one of the lot of many "old crazy, long-condemned whalers, petty river steamers, paltry brigantines and worthless corvettes," which, after the discovery of gold, "were gotten ready and made to trans- port their human cargo over several thou- sand miles of sea" to the El Dorado, and hav- ing served this purpose with profit "never returned to the Atlantic, but were profit- ably employed on the bay and the rivers of the country." In 1824, it will be remem- bered. Congress unanimously requested President Monroe to invite Lafayette to visit the United States as the guest of tbe nation. He accepted the invitation, but declined the offer of a ship of line for bis conveyance, and, with his son and secre- tary, took Passage on a packet-ship from Havre for New York, where he landed on August 15, lis_-4. The Cadmus was that "packet-ship." Nicknames of States-- E. (i. W., City. Among the well-known nicknames of Stales are the following: Arkansas, "Bear State"; California. "Golden State": Colo- rado, "Centennial State"; Connecticut, "Wooden Nutmeg State"; Delaware, "The Diamond State"; Florida, "Peninsula State"; Georgia, "Empire State of ihe South"; Illinois, "Prairie State" and "Sucker State"; Indiana, "Hoosier State"; lowa, " Hawkeye State"; Kansas, "Garden State"; Kentucky, "Corn-cracker State"; Louisiana, "Pelican State" and "Creole State"; Maine, "Pine-tree State" or Lum- ber State" ; Massachusetts, "Old Baystate" ; Michigan, "Wolverine State"; "Minnesota, "Gopher State"; Mississippi, "Bayou State"; Nevada, "Sage-lieu State"; _New Hampshire, "Granite State"; New Jer- sey, "Pea-patch Slate"; New York, "•Empire Slate"; North Carolina, "Old North State," " Fur State " and "State of -Turpentine"; Ohio, "Buckeye Stale"; Oregon, "Webfoot State"; Penn- sylvania, "Keystone State" ; Hliode Island, "Little Illicitly"; South Carolina, "Palmetto State"; Tennessee, "Big Bend Slate"; Texas, "Lono Star State"; Utah, "Bes- erel"; Vermont, "Green Mountain State"; Virginia, "Old Dominion" and "The Mother of Presidents"; West Virginia, "Panhandle State"; Wisconsin, "Badger Stale." The One II uni>K--I> and Third Article P. 8., - City. The one hundred and third article of the liules and regulations of War has been amended by act of Congress, ap- proved April 11, 1590, to read: No person shall be tried or punished by a court-martial fur desertion In time of peace and nol in the lace of an enemy, committed more than two years before the arraignment ol such pel sou for such offense, unless he shall mean- while have absented himself from the United Males, ill which case the lime of Ins absence shall be excluded lv computing ibe period of the Inn ilalion; provided, that said limitation shall not begin until Hie end of the lei m for which said person was mustered Into the service. The Q. C. does not understand that to claim and receive the benefit of the amnesty the deserter bas to surrender himself to the military authorities, and by them be placed in confinement, fur ifbis case comes within the limit, above they have no jurisdiction over him. There is nothing said that because a man "has two deser- tions against him" therefore bo cannot be pardonod of them; provided always that they come within the limitation prescribed, and be applies to the War Department for a release or protection paper. Naturalization— J. AY., City. You can become a citizen two years after having de- clared your intention. Your case is gov- erned by the section regarding minors, to the effect that any alien under the age of 21 years who has resided in the United States three years next preceding bis ar- riving at that age, and who has continued to reside therein to the time he may make application to be admitted a citizen thereof, may, after he arrives at the age of 21 years and after lie has resided five years within the United States, including the three years of his minority, be admitted a citizen ; but he must make a declaration on oath and prove to the satisfaction of the Court that for two years next preceding it has been bis buna-fide intention to become a citizen. Mountain Names— M. E. L., Freeport, Wash. Mount l.aiiiier was named for Ad- miral Rainier of the British navy; Mount St. Helena for Lord St. Helens, at one time British Embassador at Madrid; Mount Hood for Viscount Hood of the British Ad- miralty, whose achievements were almost as brilliant as those ef Blake or Nelson. These names were bestowed by Vancouver (17.'*-17UK), the English navigator and ex- plorer, and who surveyed the northwest coast from latitude 30° north to Cooks Inlet. Mount Adams was named for the second ami Mount Jefferson for the third Presi- dent of the United States. Adams, by the war, was, in ITSS, the first Minister of the United States to England. 11. R. Bill 5394-P. T., Benicia, Cal. The bill (H. K. 8394) allows enlisted men of the army to count war service as double time in computing the thirty years neces- sary for retirement. According to the Q. Cs latest advices it has advanced one point further toward final passage by a favorable and unanimous report uinde by the Senate Military Committee, ou June loth. The committee made a slight amend- ment whereby service In the navy may be included in the war service referred to. The early passage of the bill may be ex- pected. . The Musks Nine— B. D.. City. The muses of mythology were the daughters of Jupiter (chief among Ihe cods, called also Jove) and Mnemosyne. They numbered nine, as follows: Calliope, niiis*. of epic poetry; Clio of history; Frato of amatory poetry; Thalia of comedy; Melpomene of tragedy; Terpsichore of dancing; Euterpe of lyric poetry; Polyhymnia of poetry nnd eloquence, and Urania of astronomy. Omnibus Cable Company— J. C. P. and M. J., City. (1) The Omnibus Cable Company lias "a franchise for a road on In iiiiiimistreet, from I'otrero avenue to Third street." (2) According to its fran- chise the rate of speed shall not exceed eight miles per hour. Branch Oouniy Jail—T. D., City. Tlio oldbuildings at the corner of Francisco and Stockton streets, originally built as a City and County Hospital, were used as a Branch County Jail in the fiscal year 1873- --74, under Sheriff Mclvibbin. and made use of its such until about the 20tb of February, 1877, when the House of Correction was given In charge of the Sheriff (Matthew Aunan then), as a relief to the two jails, both of which were overcrowded, and when about 200 prisoners were transferred from tiie Broadway and branch jails. Publication and Coptbigiit—ll. 8., City. 1 (1) A having sold the article writ- ten by liim and received his money, the magazine which has purchased the same or the company which publishes the maga- zine, can make what further use it sees fit of the article, for the simple reason that it is the owner of the article, to publish it in the magazine or In book-form or not at all, or to sell to some one else. (2) In the above case the purchaser is also entitled to the copyright (3) If not copyrighted the author cannot make further use of the article, for itis not bis longer. Atlantic and Pacific Grants— D. S., Cornville, Ariz. The report must be a mistake that Congress or the Secretary of the In- terior forfeited twenty miles of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad's grants, so as to only leave said company twenty miles on each side of its road instead of forty, or that there is any actor order touching the same. The last act of Congress affecting the At- lantic and Pacific Railroad was that of July C 188!-, which forfeited all lands adjacent to the uncompleted portion of the road, and this means from San Buenaventura to San Francisco only. Liluy Prison —A. L., Antioch, CaL The information you ask is not to be bad for the very good reason that Libby Prison lias not been removed to Chicago "over 1000 miles, over rivers and mountains," and is not "now in its new location intact and per- fectly placed." There was a scheme to move the prison to Chicago by taking down the bricks of the structure and rebuilding it in its new location, bul the opposition to it was so great that the subject never was per- mitted to take any definite shape. An Exclusive Bight— J. 11. 8., City. The fact that your duplication of a patented article is for your exclusive use will not exempt you from liability for the infringe- ment. Every patent contains it grant to the patentee for the term of seventeen years of the exclusive right to make, use and vend his invention or discovery. Maine Law- E. D. P.. City. The po- litical term "Maine law" is synonymous with prohibitory legislation and owes Its origin to the fact that the State of Maine was the first to pass a stringent law pro- hibiting the sale of liquor. The law was adopted iv 1851, but since by several other States. To Be aPios.-ee._- E. W., Colville, Wash- ington. The Society of California Pioneers is composed of two classes. First class— All who were residents of California prior to Jauuaty 1, 1848, and the male descendants of all such; second class All who were residents ot California prior to January 1, ISM. Pugilistic— W. 11. and J. 11. C, City. (1) The Kviiiis-Mulholland fight in San Jose last month was declared a draw by the referee, after iiulhollaud had " thrown up the sponge," virtually. (2) A prize-light is as much such under the Marquis of Queens- berry rules as itis under tho London prize- ring rules. Three Could Write— A. C, San Ra- fael, Cal. Out of the twenty-six barons who signed the Magna Charta three only could write. The others made their mark to the document Topulab Vote— A. 11. L., City. This query has been worn threadbare with oft- repeated replies. Cleveland received 5,538,- --233 and Harrison 5,440, __H>, out of a popular vote of 11,392,382. Shebeen— M. C. C, Peninsular, Oregon. "Shebeen" is an Irish word, meaning a Place where spirits and oilier excisable liquors axe illegally and privately sold. No Such Franchise— lf. W"., City. No company holds a franchise to build a cable road on Sixteenth and I streets to the ocean beach. KEN YK THK LAN'? Written for Tub Sunday Call. [AfterGoethe's -Sons "' Mignon.] I.

Napier, THE GlIiL'S SHIRT. It Is Neat and < i.n.'.ri .bio for 11. Weather. ?p?IHE shirt has come to stay. £1 -i A mouth ago it was regarded as a _T_l_*_N whim of the season; now it is estab- lished in favor, and counted an indispensa- ble feature of a well-dressed woman's ward- robe. Heretofore Dr. Mary Walker had sole claims on the stiff shirt bosom. Later came Mrs. 'Jeannette Tburber in her tweed cutaway coat jauntily buttoned over a waistcoat and soft-finished shirt, and from the date of American opera to the last gasp of the Italian school she remained the one devotee of the feminine shirt inNew York society. Now all the tailor-made girls in town are done up in stiff bosoms, standing collars and long cuffs, aud , the old-estab- lished shirt-makers have been called upon to make to measure the nether garment so long the undisputed property of men. The result is a lady's shirt as close fitting as a glove and as comfortable as a fichu, which under the lightest tailor-made bodice does not show a crease. By means of darts the usual bngginess at the sides is done away with, and but for the draw-string at the waist the shirt might be used by the men. The most recent developments, as adapted for ladies' wear, is the washing silk In twills of the neatest design, They are made to fit like the linen ones, have a baud down the front and a stiff collar, with another to turn down over it. Perhaps the comfort as well as the jauntiness of these shirts forms their chief recommendation; they allow perfect free- dom of movement, they are cool and always look in ;ii and fresh. Not only are they seen on the promenade, uuder yachting, tenuis and cycling jackets, but under well- fittingridingcoats they are decidedly smart. From all appearances society lias adopted the shirt as a fashionable and feminine garment.— N. Y. World. Sunday's CALL always tins tlie best news, the best original matter and the beat Sl.ir,^.

Information has lately reached this agency to the effect that irresponsible parties, hailing from the Eastern States, and to us unknown, are in this city for the purpose of tampering with legitimate business in the above whiskies. They represent themselves, we are informed, agents-at-large of C. P. Moor- man, Louisville, Kentucky, owner of the Cutter trademark, and have deceived and swindled several persons, foisting upon them, in his name, a spurious and comparatively worthless article of whisky. We, therefore, as sole agents of C. P. Moorman in California, and throughout the Pacific Coast, deem it proper, for the protection of the public generally, to issue this caution, and to put people on their guard against such mendacious and dishonest interlopers. Regular dealers with this agency have not been deceived by the false representations made. We also give notice that immediate steps will be taken to find out those who perpetrate this wrong, and, in every instance, prosecution under the law governing such cases will follow discovery. A. P.
