TELEPHONES MIR. C o. Berger of this city has in
Il
among our people. The plan is to have a central
station connecting with government offices, the Post
Office, fire alarm, police station, ETC., and by other
wires connecting the central station with either the
places of business or private residences of those who
subscribe. By the telephone, on short notice bust
ness or social messages may be exchanged, and time
and travel be immensely economical. We learn that
quite a number of our residents are already subscri-
bers. Mr.. Berger will impart any information on
the subject that may be required.
Consul MoRToN.-In our foreign news summary
will be found two items in reference to the proposed
appointment of this gentleman to a Federal Office in
California, and which we anticipate he will receive.
The .4Ha of Jan. 18th says: 1.-The contest in Wash
ington over the nomination of John NJ. Morton for
the Collectorship of Internal Revenue, appears to US
to be entirely uncalled for. Mr.. Morton is a recog-
nized citizen of this State, is the father of a family,
two of his children being natives of California, and
is a gentleman OF undoubted integrity and capacity
for the Office to which the President nominated him
There are thrre or more aspirants for the Office,
which may account for the lack of support which the
delegation gives him The fact that he has not
tried to manipulate political strength in his favor
is an argument for him"
AN EVANGELIST CoMING.-We have received the
following letter, dated on the u. p. Railroad. Jan.
1: Dear sir-Through the politeness of Mr.. Jas.
W. Mcclure, whom ] met on his Journey to the
Sandwich Islands, | take the liberty to inform
you, and through you your people, that l I'M en-
route to your place to labor as an Independent
Missionary, to preach the Gospel of Salvation
to such as have 'ears to hear For more than
thirty-seven years / have labored as an "Eyan-
g~elist.'' My arrival may be as soon as March
| cannot tell just when--as l shall labor a while
in San Francisco. JOHN G.. Hook" Mr.. Hook
has a recommendation, signed by a number of
the leading citizens of Concord, n. H., where he
has had his home for forty-seven years. They
represent him as "a non ~sectarian evangelist, who
has met with great success, powerful revivals hav-
ing resulted from his preaching"
THEATRICAL The performances at the Theatre
during the week past consisted of Big Bonanza :"
on Saturday night. Leah - on Monday, and" In
der the Gaslight on Thursday. Crowded houses
have not been the rule, although the audience pre-
sent at the representation of Sc Under the Gaslight'
was very fair. In this latter piece the Pearl Court
land of Miss Amy Nelson, and the Dyke" of
Mr.. Bradley, deserve special mentiOn-the former
for the clear enunciation of the words and the at
tention paid to dressing for the part, and the latter
for displaying the best piece of acting yet produced
by any male member of the Clayton combination.
Miss Ingles was rather too enthusiastic at times,
but pleased. "Perk . should be more careful of his
judicial questioning. The stage setting of the fourth
act reflected credit, the railroad scene especially
bring very realistic. "Under the Gaslight = will
be repeated tonight, and heatre gOers may rest as
sured that this play is worthy a visit.
CoRRECr.-Our readers will not fail to remember
Miss Nellie Holbrook, one of the members of the CAL
ifornia Theatre Company, who performed at the Roy
al Hawaiian Theatre during last summer. and they
will also remember that g Nellie was quite a favor
ite with our people both on and of the stage. The
following clipped from the -4ita regarding her speaks
for itself: There is probably no person better
known, both on and of the stage, in this city, than
Nellie Holbrook. For ten years past on all occasions
of charity where assistance has been needed by hand
or voice, her services had been given gratis and with
pleasure. For the past year Miss Holbrook has been
making rapid strides in the dramatic profession. aud
