When Mr.. Hoo.ey opened his little comedy
theatre In 1872, yeat after the fire, he did it
under serious disadvantages. He had what
would be termed scrub company, and too
many managers. But, for all that, he Was Won
derfully successful. His theory WAS to run
theatre on the stock principle, relying upon the
novelty and excellence Of the plays, and their
superiority Of production, to keep even pace
with the star theaters. In this he succeeded iu
measure. A long abstinence from amusement
on the part Of the public aided his company in
appearing at their best. He made money, and
his theatre was fashionable.
SELECTING coMPAST.
Encouraged by this flush Of euccess, Mr..
Hoo1ey determined upon strengthening his
company still more, and establishing himself
firmly among the lovers Of the drama. In Be-
lecting new people for his company his want Of
experience placed him at great disadvantage.
Associated with him were gentlemen who had
played minor parts in the city at An old
fashioned theatre-the Museum. As actors,
they were at home in their sphere. As associate
managers, they we're az ignorant az the man they
were guiding. Mr.. ,Hooloy consulted with them
freely. They advised A1r. Hooloy freely. Rely
ing upon their Judgment and not upon his own
natural sagacity A1r. Hooley collected company
of extraordinary size. He had, at tho beginning
double company, sufficient to eat into any profits
he might make: Some Of thom we're good, some
yery indifferent. The good ones were
always in demand, md tue poor
superduous. 4 manager cannot get
nd Of his people. as other employers can. Labor
has capital tied with contracts, and tho manager
must pay them whether he wants them or not
Thus the profits of the earlier part OF the season
we're rapidly expended, and when the inevitable
dul1negs came there was nnxioty and trouble

APOLOGETIC.

The December term of the Dis
trict Court commenced last Mon
day and the editor of this paper
having been appointed District
Attorney for the term, our patrons
will excuse us if they do not find
much original matter in this issue.
Certain categorical concurring
circumstances circumventedc care
fully conceived calculations, caus-
ing considerable cool cussing,
therefore, the imp has taken
charge of the SENTINEL this week
and used the scissors freely. If
anybody don't like this paper,
they can just lay it down. You
are not obliged to read it. We
think, however, that it will
please all intelligent and reason
able people into whose hands it
may fall, and they are the only
people that we care about pleas
ing. The proceedings of the
court, current news. and tele-
graphic dispatches will be found
in their proper places, also a large
amount of interesting selected
matter. In this connection we
would respectfully remark that
it seems to us that we have as
good a right to use other peoples
brains as the editor has. If we
print good paper what the bloody

CEMETERY.

Everybody claims six feet by
two of real estate by right of pos
session, after death, but the loca-
ton, if deferred until then, is
made by others. If one dies in
Yuma and happens to be Roman
Catholic or is, or has been a SOL
dier of the U. s. Army, his re-
mains are nicely slowed away in
places where they are likely to
remain undisturbedfor many years
If not forever. But occasionally
we are called upon to chronicle
the decease of some good man
who dies outside the pale Of one
and has not served in the other,
and consequently he is covered
up in the aEkaIi fat below the
Government corral or stuck away
behind OOten's blacksmith shop.
Now, all this is contrary to good
taste and common decency, and
it is simply a burning shame that
the living people in Yuma should
allow 50 many good fellows as
there are lay planted away in such
outlandish places. The climate
here is healthy but we cannot
expect to live always. Now is a
good time as any to locate and
improve a burying ground. There
are plenty suitable locations for
a cemetery upon vacant ground
not far distant from the town,and
neat picket fence put up around
it would cost comparatively little,
for we are credibly informed
that the G. S, n. Company will
charge but little or nothing for

A young man who allows him
self to use a profane word, has not
only shown that there is foul
spot on his mind, but by the ut
terance of that word he extends
that spot and infames it, till by
indulgence it will pollute and ruin
the soul. If you control the tongue
that no improper words are utter

control the mind and save it from
corruption. You eXtinguish the

ed pitch fork, with which popu-
lar belief and the CATCH ism has
invested him for the scissors,
but for the nonce, our imp
pish proclivities have borne down
the profound respect we entertain
for the perOgative par-excellence
of all editors-if we except the
American Encyclop@dia-and i'm
prove the opportunity offered by
the boss temporary absence from
the editorial chair.
One night this week we pre-
Walled upon our maternal PARENT
who, by the way, is the only
one we have, and consequently is
strict enough for two-to allow
us to assist in the ceremonies in
cident to celebrating the feast of
the Immaculate Conception.
Awaiting ourself of the oppor-
tunity thus offered, we went at
once to the editorial sanctum and
extracted therefrom the edit
orial note book and started out
with the intention of giving the
readers of the SENTINEL the
devils ideas of how the people
behave and what they do in order
to keep out of his way.
Before leaving, we seized a shot
gun in order to bear our part in
the ceremonies. AS we approach
ed the Catholic Church, both sides
of the street were illuminated by
means Of lights set on posts, so
that it resembled city thorough
fare with street lamps in full |
blast. Upon arriving at the |
Church, we took our place in a
line of other urchins, armed like
ourself, with rifles, shot guns, pis-
tolls and firecrackers, and at q
signal given by tolling the bell,
the congregation, with candles in |
hand, sailed forth and formed a |
procession with the Cross and |
other sacred emblems in their
midst, and at the word of COM
mand, we blazed away and amidst |
the fusiIade of fire arms and an
wills, the procession filed down
one side of the street and return
ed by the other, chanting devo-
tionaI hymns. 1t was beautiful
sight and tended to drive from
our mind ali impish thoughts, for
to tell the truth, you can say
what you may, but when you see
lots of people together offering
their homage to the Giver of all
things in the best way they know
how, it sets one to thinking, at
least it set us to thinking serious
ly too, until we arrived near the
church where We caught young

| poekcted the squibs and after
firing one or two more salutes,
with extreme JUNCTION, we re-
turned the gun TO its place and
took our way to the fiesta or. festos
would perhaps be more proper,
| for there were two feasts in full
blast. The first one we arrived at
formed three sides of a square, or
rather the booths made of green
twigs, flags and parti-colored
clothes did, in the middle Of
which was a pdriae. covered with
green boughs, devoted to the
dancers, at one side of which was
fiddle, guitar and drum, with a
man hold of each, vieing with
each other In an effort to create a
discord; the drum had it, at least
it made the most noise. The
booths were neatly and tastefully
decorated with both the colorS of
the United States and Mexico. In
some drinks, cigars, &C., could be
had 0d 6bit1tna for cash; in others
enchiladas, pipitOrias, tamales,
etc, on the same terms. We are
positive in the last particular, for
we attempted to ring in on them
on the strength of our repOrtOrial
character, and they told rs to
"get." that they didn't adver
tise." So, of course, the obScuriry
under which these "poor henight-
ed" are laboring cannot be ex-
pressed.
Aside from the gyratiOns of a
single couple in the dancing place,
whe were endeavOring to keep
time with the fiddle, guitar and
drum, at the same time dance ?
polka, the monte tables appeared
to be the chief center of attrac.
ton. Upon them we saw enough
money to make any poor DEVILS
mouth water. 1t grieved Us inn
mensely to see temptation thus
placed in the way of the unwary
and in endeavoring to remove
this pit fall from the way of right
eOusness. we were deprived of
half of our extra pay as acting
editor, to-wit: three short bits.
Having toasted enough on this,
we started for the other and found
it a short distance OFF, arranged
in the manner already described
with the music duplicated and a
solitary couple dancing what they
call a .j0ra6e, which is a sort of
dignified jig, in which one of the
dancers appears to be waiting for
the other to commence all the
time, In sauntering around, we
came to a table, at the head of
which sat an old lady calling out
words that appeared to have lit
tie meaning for the editicatiOn ola
row of youngsters who apparently
were deeply interested in little
plates Of glass with pictures paint
ed all over them. In answer to
an inquiry, bystander inform
ed us that if we put in bit
when the old lady called out
"Loteria!" we got all the bits
that were put up. We tried it,
but when the old lady cried "lo-
teriar' somebody else took the
pot. From that we went to see
cbuz0s. Now, chuzas are exceed
ingly deceptive in appearance and
therefore are hard to describe.
We think our readers will get a
better idea of them by personal
than we can impart,
and if they live too far away to
come and see them, they can
thank their lucky stars for it. All
we have to say is that it is the
infernalest one-sided game Of
marbles we were ever inveigied
into.
