TIE SUNDAY LAW.

The one subject of discussion in Sacra-
mento yesterday was that Of the Sunday law.
When the long list Of names of those to be
arrested for the violation of that Act was
read in these columns yesterday morning, the
question that suggested itself to many was,
"Wel, what are we going to do about it?'
City Attorney Anderson was busy all day
yesterday drawing complaints and having
warrants Issued. Only two arrests SO far
have been made, and these were made By
Chief Karchsr at the parties OWE request.
They we're those of Frank Smith, of the
City Hotel bar, and Peter Neuman, proprie-
tor Of the PhiIadglphia House, on Eighth
street, between j and X. Yesterday after
noon Messrs Powers, Felter, Chesley and
Billings, members of the Executive Com
uittee of the Licensed Dealers Associa-
ton, accompanied by the Secretary Of the
organization, Joseph Goddard, called at
the Police Court and inquired what they
would have to do in the matter of filing
bonds for their members when arrested
Judge Henry notified them that deposit of
$50 in coin, or bond Of 800, would be re-
quired in each case, whereupln the commit
tee requested the postponement of the service
of the warrants till to-day, in order that they
might consult IS TO what plan they should
adopt.
At S P. II. last evening the Executive Com
mittee of the Licensed Dealers Association
met at the Office OF their Secretary, at 422 K
street. After consultation it was unanimous
" resolved that the committee furnish the
requisite bonds for all members Of the associa-
ton that are arrested to-day for the violation
pointed at the last meeting with authority to
employ counsel, reported that they had en-
ployed Judge L. B. Mcfarland to defend the
members arrested for alleged violation of the
law. The association in this city numbers
.about O00 members. The outside member
ship will swell the number to about 2. 900.
They have plenty Of funds, AID intend to
contest every case inch by inch. A jury trial
will be demanded in each case.
METROPOLITAN THEATER The Wallace
Sisters dramatic troupe appeared at the
theater last evening to fair audience. The
sisters Jennie and Maud are of good stage
presence, ard have enough ability to give
them places in an average stock company,
but neither is able to assume the responsible.
isy of first part ia any drama of consider
able importance. Jennie Wallace is earnest
and sincere in her efforts, and is lot without
some noticeable dramatic qualities. Two ex-
perienced actors had "old men" parts.
Beyond these the support was inadequate.
The combination is very far from strong.
One Of the actors was thick in his utter
ance as to lead the auditors to unchsritable
conclutions concerning his physical condition,
although it is probable that it was his nor
NAL method of delivery that produced the
unpleasant effect. Master Willie Dobson,
a precocious mite, of very infantile
age, was the source of much amusement, and
il probably the youngest actor" ever seen
on the stage. The company, as a body, is
provincial, and cannot command an extended
patronage. 1t has no right to announce
itself as an extraordinary attraction" nor
to rank itself with leading dramatic troupes
The mystery here is, how it could have APP
peared to such advantage 10 Stockton as to
win from the three journals there the warm
commendation it did. The play of last night
was Jacquette dramatization of one Of Mrs.
Braddon'smos doleful and melodramatic nov
els, 10 which there is the saddsst mixture Of
unhappy marriages, uncomfortable witches
and villains, AMI stupid lovers and fathers
imaginable.
