LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.


Barton troupe last evening, to a fine au-
dience, played and sang Patience" 1t was
admirably presented, and the audience gave
pronounced and Undertaking verdict of APP
proval. Mr.. Howson's " make up" az Oscar
Wilde excited the mirth of the spectators.
Miss Jansen, Miss Joyce and Misses Wills
and Lascelles, with Howson, Campbell, Bell,
Fresr and Grips, had the leading parts, and
were especially happy in them. Inc chorus
was in no respect behind in the general sue.
cess, and received warm comuendation.
Patience is one Of the rarest satires, and
It's wit Is as keen as trebly tempered blades.
Musically it is filed with gems that are as
pleasing as they are light. Very much of the
success of the troupe here is due to the excel
lent drill Of the company, and the admirable
stage business OF the women of the troupe.
MIR. Barton is probably entitled to the credit
for bringing the company on to the Metro
poltan stage, with its poor accommodations
with the nicely and exactness that has
marked all the details, bit this has prevented
his appearing in any of the operas given
here. The troupe makes its last appearance
here in matinee performance this afternoon,
when Manola will be sung This opera
has been sometimes given under the title of
Day and Night" 1t is an extravagantly
humorous piece, and is new here. 1t is in
three acts, and inquiry resulted last evening
In the statement that they will not be rushed
or cut, and that the opera will be given in
its entirety. This inquiry grew out of the
fact that latterly troupss playing here at
rRatinees and departing by the evening train
of that date have hurried, cut and rushed
their pieces, to their ruin and the disgust of
the auditors, until the matinee business has
been seriously injured and the public as seri.
ously disappointed. The assurance is given
that on this occasion there will be no cause
for complaint in that respect.

State Board of Equalization met at their
Office in the State Capitol yesterday. The
San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad
Company appeared before the Board and
asked fer o reduction of the assessment on

same could be obtained by the payment of
from $50 to $50. That the assessm emit upon
the roadbed be reduced from 1898, $50 to
S95, 737 80. Evidence was offered to show
that the last named sum would be fair val
uation for the property. Also, that the as
sessment upon the roadway be reduced from
SAG, $50 to $37, 900, that being twice as much
as lands upon either side of the road are as
sessed at. This land is assessed for over $500
per acre, whilst adjacent lands are assessed
at an average OF less than $50 per acre. That
the assessment upon the rails be reduced from
SAG, $50 to 1910, PAS, the latter figure repre-
senting the actual value of the same Upon
this point the evidence was direct, that the
true value of the rails were rightly given in
at S310, 245. Also, that the assessment upon
the rolling stock be reduced from 1921, $50 to |
