Fabbri Opera Troupe.

Tt is difficult to decide which should
be the happier, the Fabbri Opera
Troupe or the people of Los Angeles.
Last night Turn-Verein Hall was filled
with one of the most fashionable and
appreciative audiences that ever as
sembled in this city. The welcome
given by our citizens was as generous
as it was merited Madame Fabbri
will always be favorite here, for our
community is appreciative of excel
lence in artistic performances. The
opera presented was the best that
Verdi has produced, and although his
music has PROBABLY been criticised
more severely than that of any other
composer he presents in "Il Trova-
toren combination of emotional har-
mony that will always please even the
most critical Throughout the opera
the combinations are peculiar,but the
beauty of the "n. iseTere," the "sere-
naden and the harmonious oddity of
the anvil chorus will ever be welcome
to all lovers of chasteness in musical
sentiment The score is difficult, and
none but the most accomplished artist
can render the emotional passages
with that mingling of force and grace
that the music expresses. The sclec-
tion of this opera was a good one,
for the reason that it showed
the capacity of the artists. We
hope soon to have change to Doni-
zettti and Flutow, and we would be glad
to have slight interlude with some
of our choicest ballads. Mesdames
Fabbri and Elzer were in capital voice
last evenin gand disarmed any effort
at criticism. Mueller and Pleuger
were both peculiarly acceptable. The
former captured the audience at the
outset, and the latter could not fail to
render his part with effective grace.
The opera was dssected, disjointed, we
might say. The superfiuities were
omitted, and Verdi is full of them, and
all of the gems were presented. At the
close of every scene the artists were
called before the curtain and received
cordial greeting accompanied with
presentations of boquets. The chorus
was little out of harmony but will
be all right with rehearsal or two
more. The opening was perfect sue
cess, and a profitable season may be
expected. Tomorrow evening we are
to have the second Act of "Der Frei-
schultz" the third Act Of Faust" and
the fourth of "Rigolletto." We hope
soon to have "Lucia" and "Martha."

The quickest trip ever made upon
the Southern Pacific railroad was made
on Sunday last IA miles beyond Seven
Palms. A special car started from the
depot at 7.l5 A. M. with the following
officers: A. Brown, Superintendent of
bridges, etc., Col. Geo. E. Gray, Chief
Engineer of the Southern Pacific r. r
accom- panied by several employees of
the road, for the purpose of ofexamining
progress. The examination was satis-
factory, and having made an inspec-
tion of the work, they returned at 7:l5.
They made a trip of of ZIG miles in
less than ten hours, deducting eXam-
nation of track, dinner. etc. This will

An unfortunate accident occurred
on Spring street, opposite Turn-Verein
hall, at o'cl ock vest terday afternoon.
The little son of Mr.. Farrell, the street
contractor, who resides in Henne's
Block, fell under heavy truck and
one of the wheels passed over the lit
tie fellows right leg at the groin. He
got up and tottered to the sidewalk,
when Officer McFadden happened
along and carried him to his fat ler's
residence. DIR. KurtZ was afterwards
called in to relieve the sufferer. He
is very dangerously injured, and the
accident may result fatally.
Mr.. David Waldron wishes to state
to the people of Los Angeles that the
burning of the Balloon Sunday at
the Washington Gardens was purely
accidental, and was caused by the
wind. Mr.. Waldron will have an
other balloon as soon as it can be
made when the admission will be free
and all invited. Some malicious per-
sons started the report that the burning
was intentional, this is false for it was
worth over $3.50 and such thing
would not be at all probable for the
man was much greater loser than
the amount paid him for the trip.
Per every steamer we receive new
goods, such as clothing, hats, boots
and shoes, which we will sell at prices
that will astonish you. Call at the
Great Important, under the Lafayette

Legal.

M. P. Walker VS.. G. W. Clark.-The
above case was tried in Judge Traf-
fords Court on Saturday. This action
was brought to recover on a promis-
sorry note which Clark had given as
part payment of premium on Life
Insurance policy. The defense set up
was "want of consideration" in this,
that the defendant had not received
the kind of a policy for which his ap-
plication was made, also general mis-
representation on the part of the
agents. On the trial the defendant
testified as to the character of his pol
icy, and investigation disclosed that
in no respect was he in error, nor had
he been deceived in any way. The
company had issued such policy as
the agents promised, and as Mr.. Clark
desired, the only difficulty seeming to
be Misunderstanding on the part Of
the latter, helce the jury decided that
the note given must be paid. Life In
surance agents are but human, and
may at times do wrong, yet the above
case shows that if those who think
themselves their victims would take
a little time for reflection there would
be much less complaint about this
sort of business.

"PUTSu AND "CALLS.n

'Puts' and "Calls" are stocks sold by opera
tors, Tor a premium signed at a distance fIom
the market price, giving The holder OF the
privilege the right to close the con- ract at any
time within the time named in the privilege.
"Puts" and "Calls" are simple, easy and
expeditions method OF making transactions
in stocks. Nothing palmer or more readily
comprehended could be devised. The great
objection to the ordinary mode of buying and
selling stocks is that 1t forces the customers
to go through with a vast amount of tedious,
perpleXing and unnecessary labor. Margins
are to be arranged, commissions are to be
paid in every direction, balances are to be
looked after, interest to be stipulated, ae-
counts current are to be rendered and sta E.
ments TO be anaiyZed.
"Puta" and "Calls" dispense with all this
useless and time-consuming routine, by the
purchase of a simple and straightforward
contract to do certain thing; to assume a
specified risk at q fair and equitable rate
The holder of such a contract has nothing fur
ther 10 do but to perform the simple duty of
watching the stock quotations and electing
when 10 bring his privilege to a settlement.
