Sketch of Santa Cruz.

Correspondence of San Francisco Chronicle.]
Santa Cruz is naturally one of the
l0veliest towns ON the coast. 1t has
a splendid beach, beautiful drives and
other attractions, but for some reason
it cannot compete as a summer resort
with places less generously endowed.
Perhaps the secret of its languor is
lack of enterprise on the part of its
citizens. They are constantly giving
evidences of the listlessness of their
disposition. A recent example of
this tendency is their failure to pro-
perly appreciate the value of a good
local daily paper. Such a one-the
SurJ-was started early in the present
year, and conducted with ability dur
ing the summer season.. 1t looks at
present as if there were not enough
goaheadativeness in Santa Cruz to
support it through the winter, and
unless a more liberal spirit is shown
by the merchants the enterprise will
probably be abandoned. Such a step
will reflect lnjuriously upon the
town. There is nothing calculated to
give strangers so good an opinion of
a place as a lively home daily paper,
and when the citizens lose sight of
the fact they make a great mistake.
The city dailies no doubt satisfy the
desire for news of people living in
towns within easy distance of the
metropolis, but they do not advertise
the town. That is the chief purpose
of a local daily, and the towns that
give a liberal support to their home
papers generally reap a big profit
from their investment.

Mr.. Hedges Lecture.

Last night School Superintendent
Cornelius Hedges delivered a lecture
on educational matters at the Con-
gregational Church, which was well
attended by teachers Of the public
schools and others interested in the
cause of education. The distin-
guished lecturer took high ground
regarding the dignity of the profess
sion of education, and impressed
upon his hearers the Importance and
responsibility Of the calling of those
who mould the ideas and in a great
degree shape the principles of the
rising generation. Much of
the lecture was devoted to
the consideration of the practical
work of the school room and the i'm
portance of government. system and
strictly enforced rules was strongly
presented.
MI. Hedges was followed by Prof.
Howell who made some very interest.

ment.

Theatre COmiQue.

In view of the approach of the
holiday festivities Manager Gordon
has reorganized his company so that
the Comique now presents nightly a
bill of at. ractions which rivals that
presented during its palmy days.
Last night the house was packed by
one of the best pleased and most en-

tended it. The performance opened
with beautiful songs by Mr.. Sher-
wood and the Misses Allen, Clyde,
hastings and Darlington, followed
by a side-splitting act in which Ken
needy and Mcbride were the principal
actors. The Catletts performed one
Of their amusing specialties, after
which the great attraction

was presented with the full force of
the company. Mcbride was splen-
did Muldoon while Kennedy's Null
cahey couldn't be beat. Miss Went
worth as Mrs. MuIdoOn was excellent
and the Misses Allen and Clyde as
her daughters performed their parts

the play was the introduction of a
jack upon the stage ridden by Null
ca.,ey. Taken all together the play
was an immense success and cannot
fail to draw crowded houses during

He had been there but a short time
when as the outcome of a playful

unwilling to be "strapped' in this

A Sla ngy Girl.

Under the present order of things,
should the novelist go into the high
ways and resorts of the world to study
reality, he will find many a daughter
of the gods, divinely tai, and most
divinely fair, who, when her lips are
opened, will dispel the charm of her
presence and bring to mind the old
fairy tale Of the damsel from whose
lips dropped tOads and snakes at ev-
cry word who acknowledged no law
of etiquette but her own whim ;
whose standard of regard for others
is her own convenience; whose great
est virtue is indifference; and whose
pest charm is absence. 1t is true that
at summer resorts there are charming
and lovely girls, but their refined
presence is Overshadowed by the
pushing. noisy vu]garity of the roys-
tering girl of the period, the girl
whose family is often excellent,
whose advantage socially and edu-
cationalIy have been all that position
and wealth could command, and yet
who remains to the end vulgar, sell
fish and obtrusive.- Chicago IE'aes.

Mineral Nuggets.

In 1858 the highest gold production
of the United States Was reached, the
total figures being So, OOO, 900. There
has been a steady decline ever since.
The figures for 1880 were $36, 600, 900.
A new machine for separating gold
from sand without the aid of water
is reported to have been discovered.
A wheel Is feet in diameter throws
sand by centrifugal force against a
moving surface Of mercury, which
amalgamates the gold, while an air
blast blows away the sand.
Chihuahua alone for the calendar
year will yield nearly $50, OOO, 900 in
bullion-more by IS, 1000, 900 than the
whole Mexican Republic has aver
aged during the last 60 years. The
yield for the year approximates $780,

mutations continue through the en-
suing fifty years in the same ratio,
