Rose Eytlnga died at the Actors' home
from an apoplectic stroke on Wednesday.
She had been at the home for several
months, jnd was in goefd health up to
the tlme'she was stricken. Miss .Eytinge
was born in 1835, and spent many yeurs
on the stage. She will be recalled as
playing with Booth and other leading
actors of his day, and also as a success
ful star In serious and emotional roles.
In 1870 she went with her husband to
Egypt, where he waa appointed as con
sul general, ana uvea mere ror several
years. After returning to America ahe
returned to the stage, and was active in
connection with it till her accumulating
years rendered retirement Imperative.
Many ot the older patrons of the theater
will recall her aa Jean In "The Heart of
Midlothian," and aa the heroine in "Grif

In January number, of Munsey's mag

will grill the Shakespeare-Baconian theo

answer arguments by calling names and
the usual name for a Baconian in some
quarters is a "blithering idiot." It la
Maid that - Mr. Bothern has presented the
Shakespeare side of the case in a new
light, else, indeed, there would be small
excuse for reviving 4 subject which has
occasioned ao much heated passion and
bad languaga. It is not to be hoped that
Mr. Bothern will be able to lead any ot
the rampant Baconians into the light,
ahd still their ravings; but. if he is able
to steer-other, and mayhap younger, feet
away,, from the noisy madhouse, he. will
be entitled to the public's regard. .
' Xornl fitnm Notre. '
.' The ptury of "A Romance of the Under
world," the big dramatlo - production
which will be the headline attraction at
the Orpheum during Chrlstmaa week, la
simple enough. It has to do with the at
tempt to U all road an Innocent man into
the penitentiary. The three scenes
show sentencing day In the court -of
general sessions. New York City, ' the
street In front of "The Bridge of Sighs"
and the interior of the Tombs.. In
.the opening soene a number of prisoners
' appear before Judge Uorth to receive
their sentence. 'Among the characters
are the "dope fiend," the amateur female
shoplifter, the Irishman, Slippery Jake,
Kliiult, the man unjustly accused,
O'Leary, the ward boss, and McDermott,
the young lawyer. The plot is a strong
one and the twenty-three parts in the
cast are excellently portrayed. The love
element in the story la full of human in-
. terest. s
' Aa it may be Imagined, it la the aim
of the theatrical manager to supply bis
patrons with the very beet the play
market offers as a Chrlstmaa offering.
The management of the Brandels theater
fels confident that in securing George
M. Cohan's famous comedy "Get Rich
tjulck Walltngford," as the Tuletide' at-
traction, it has obtained the very best
, attraction there la to be had. The play
' will be at the Brandels theater four
nights beginning Sunday night, with
matinees Christmas and Wednesday.
The seat sale at the Brandels theater
for "The Spring Maid," which opens lta
engagement at that house on Thursday,
December 28, is a good indication how
much mora generally the public Is in
formed on the newest of theatrical pro
ductions than In uut years. The seat
demand has kept pace with the reputa
tion of "The Spring Maid" in New York
and its later furore In San Francisco. It
will be the first hearing here In opera
of the much, praised little Hungarian
prima donna, Mlszl Hajoa. A matinee
will be given on Saturday.

Renewal Bonds Will Ee Offered for
Sale Tonight
OVER HUNDRED THOUSAND BLOCK
Sanrnai Dealer Apvnr ant There
Are Evldeneee that Genalne
Competition Will Hesnlt
for Blsr lunar.
Tonight at a special meeting ot the city
council there will be offered for sale
an Issue of renewal bonds Involving
I110,8so. The city has offered them at
the rate of 4 per cent and If the Inten
tion of the mayor and more conservative
members of the city council carries, the
bonds will be aold at that figure and no
other.
There has been considerable discussion
whether the city will be able to get bid
ders at the 4ii per cent rate, but since
the city clerk and the mayor have taken
It upon themselves personally to Inter
est different bond houses the country
over, the responses received have been
encouraging to say the least.
Yesterday bond buyers from representa
tive houses called upon the mayor and
It Is hoped that at tonight's meeting
there will bo enough competition to war
rant the sale of the bonds at the figure
mentioned by the city.
It Is, however, understood that there
Is a determined effort to make the city
pay 6 per cent on the bonds Instead of
the figure quoted. This cannot be done
unless the ordinance calling for the sale
of bonds at i per cent Is made to read
5 per cent.
Bald Mayor Tralnor yesterday: "Those
bonds will be sold at i per cent on they
will not be sold at all. I mean to take
a hand in this matter myself and If the
bonds are not taken at the figure of
fered by the city we will make arrange
ments that will protect the credit of the
city and at the same time leave the bonds
to a future date when our figures will
be accepted."
Aa to the further Issue of the 1912
bonds there Is a strong undercurrent of
sentiment that favors the postponement
of the Issue until a time when the money
Is actually In demand for the proposed
improvements.
Maya Plronka I'narps Right.
Chief of Police John BrlKKs yesterday
charged Police Commissioner Joseph
Pivonka with overstepping the limits of
his authority In usurping the duties of
the chief of police.
Chief Briggs says that in effect the
system being pursued by Commissioner
Pivonka will demoralize the discipline of
the police department. The chief in
stanced several cases where officers were
given directions by the commissioner in
the face of counter commands from the
chief and captains.
In one case where the chief for the kotoI
of the service refused to accord a ten
days' leave to an officer the request was
repeated during the chiefs absence to
two of the captains, who flatly refused
to accord the permission. In this In
stance the' chief avera Commissioner
Pivonka told the officer In question to
take the ten days' leave.
Chief Briggs mentioned a case where
an officer was relieved of his club and
star by the police commissioner without
having any recourse to the chief.
"This state of affairs cannot go on
without detriment to the police depart
ment," Bald the chief as he concluded his
interview. " .
Mayor aa Santa Clans.
Mayor Trainpr will act .as Santa Claus
to the poor of the city this afternoon
when ha gives away the Christmas good
things collected from the packers and
some of the merchants.
Early this morning wagons will be sent
to the merchants who have promised gifts
for the poor and it Is expected that a
large amount of goods' and eatables will
have been collected before noon.
Mayor Tralnor has carried out hla in
tention of helping some of the deserving
poor of the city unaided save for the
merchants and packers who responded
to his appeal. Not all of those who were
approached in the good cause came tor-
ward with the generosity that might have
been expected from the prosperous at
this season of the year. One grocer when
asked to contribute in money or goods
declared that he had not seen any of the
city's trade on his order books.
The donations collected consist of
meats and chickens from the packera,
clothes, groceries, toys, fruits, vegetable
and everything that goes to make up a
happy Christmas for the poor.
The distribution will be made thla
afternoon at the city hall.
