MORE ABOUT TIE rHEATEa.

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN A great deal has
been said of late in regard to the bad condi-
ton of the Metropolitan Theater, and nobody
knows the truth better than the managers re-
garding the long-needed repairs, but it is all
OF no use, as neither MIR. Caswell nor Mr..
Bailey have any authority to expeud dollar
without paying it out of their own pockets.
Now the building is for sale, and, in my opin-
ion, very cheap. It would cost to build
new theater, with all appointments and seem
cry, between 800, 900 and 100000. The
Metropolitan can be purchased for about one
third that amount, and an expenditure of
$1,000 would make it equal to any irst-class
theater in the State 1t cost about $4,000
to renovate the Bush-street Theater in San
Francisco, and it is now one of the pref
test theaters in the State, and it was
in as bad condition as this, before that.
Now know from personal experience that if
stock company could be formed, and the
purchase made, the stock would pay to the
holders at least one per cent. per month, if
not more, as the rentals from the theater and
building viii exceed Sc, 000 per year. l have
spent most of my adult life trying to manage
this theater. l have had every star and
combination OF any prominence, and / know
that good theater in this city would be
good investment, and rs your paper an
nounces, be the means of bringing many a
purchaser to this city who now goes to San
Francisco. 1t is now the duty of the bust
ness men of this city to look seriously into
this question, as it is to their interest as much
as that OF anybody else. Now | make the
following suggestion That stock be issued in
shares of 500 per share, and subscription
list opened at different business houses in this
city, and then you can see if the citizens
mean business or not | have personal
friends that will subscribe for several thou
sand dollars worth. S.

sweeping Oreiinance-FataI Accident

Sweeping Ordinance Fatal Accident.
PORTLAND, February 4th.-At a meeting
of the City Council. held tonight, three ordi-
nances, relating severally to the suppression
of prostitution, the carrying of concealed
weapons, and defining vagrancy and providing
for the punishment thereof, came up on
second reading, and were referred to the Com
mittee on Health and Police, who will report
at the next meeting. These ordinances are
very sweeping, and should they become laws
and be vigorously enforced, would rid the
city entirely of the vicious and depraved
classes The moral and religious elements of
the community has been industriously working
up a sentiment to secure the passage of these
ordinances. Several petitions, signed by
hundreds of the best citizens of the city, have
been presented, praying the Council to pass
these ordinances. So stringent are the pro-
visions that they are believed by members of
the legal fraternity to be imperative should
they pass, as the charter does not confer such
power on the Council. The question of the
passage of the ordinance has created much
public comment, and the classes to be directly
affected by their provisions are much
agltated over the matter. Chief Lappeus
declares his intention to rigidly enforce the
ordinances to the letter should they pass.

THAT THEATER-A PROTEST.

EDS. RECORD, UNION Il want to indorse
your protest against any purchase of the old
theater. If Sacramento is to have "house
of amusement" let it be new one, con-

given years of close observation to the SUBJ
ject, and from careful examination know thatit
is next to impossible to reconstruct the Metro
politan. 1t cannot be done and increase its
capacity without destroying its acoustic prop
critics. 1t cannot be rebuilt so as to afford
dry green and dressing rooms, or fit it for use
for public assemblies other than theatrical;
the chief reason being the impossibility of
letting into it daylight, or creating in it any
opening tor sunshine, pure air, and proper
lights. Nor are its walls 1.-THE west one being
crackedl suitable for the support of an extra

graded prices. If reconstructed, with
heightened stage space to admit of proper
scenic effects, there is not fiat, set-piece or

Rent the Metropolitan and you are bound to
be limited to its low stage and dwarfed
scenery. Aside from all this, it cannot be
made free from draughts, nor given to sun

a New PORTRAIT OF CHRIsT.-In Lon
don was exhibited, few weeks ago, at a
fair in aid of the Society for the Propoga-
ton CT the Gospel among the Jews, a re-
markable portrait of Christ, purporting to
be the oldest and best one in existence. A
gentleman living in Rome lent the portrait
to the society for its exhibitions, and has
affixed to it a description saying it is Every
old and wonderful, and that it was
painted from an engraving on a medallion
belonging to an MS. parchment which gave,
in Greek and Latin, description of the
marks, person and physiognomy of Christ.
1t is supposed to date from the time of
the early Emperors, and until recently was
kept in the private museum of the Popes.

the head being turned slightly to the left
and the eyes having an expression of great

Reliable Company.

Muster Out and Discharge OF This old
Reliable Company.
In obedience 10 orders the remnant oil
the old and valiant Mathews Light Guards
assembled last night for the last time in
the City Armory, Tenth and Market
streets, Tor the purpose Of being mustered
out and receiving their discharges. In
duced by this bait, and the fact that il
would be the last military duty they
would be called upon to perform, a large
number OF the boys was on hand, fully
uniformed and equipped for the parade
to the Capitol. Shortly after eight O'Clock
til company appeared on Tenth street,
and headed by the drum corps marche
up Tenth to Main, down Main TO Twelfth,
up Twelfth TO Market, down Market to
Sixteenth; up Sixteenth 20 the south
front OF the Capitol, thence TO the north
front, where they were put through sew
eral maneuvers, after which an inspection
OF arms was ordered and the inspection
made by Lieutenant O. w. Franzheim,
adjutant oil tic regiment.
After the inspection the company was
again marched around to the west front OF
the Capitol and then into the original
armory, where they stacked arms Tor the
|. at time, and then, as the roll was called
for the last time, each man stepped for
ward aud received his discharge. Capt.
DiCkey then requested the boys TO form in
line again, and as they emerged from the
Capitol catacombs three cheers were CIV
en- with a will for Col. Miller, Capt. Dick
ey, Adjutant Franzheim, and for the re-
spective candidates for the Presidency.
Then by Chapine street to Twelfth and
Market the arlnory was again reached,
where vote OF thanks was given to Capt.
Dickey and the other officers Of the COM
pany for their attention and energy In the
management oil the company. After some
unimportant business was transacted the
company, on motion OF Lieutenant H. Ii.
Pendleton, adjourned sine die.
The Mathews Light Guards was one OF
the best every gotten up in our midst, and
no other company perhaps ever displayed
more courage aud promptness when the
emergency came. 1t has been in exist
ence for little more than three years, and
until the last year was the crdck company
