bsfore the public for many years. Camille ,
is well known drama, though it has been
four years since it hss been before the public
in Sacramento. It was announced IN the
hands Of Mrs +. bf. Bates, one Of Sacra.
menso's favorites. Last night she sustained
her reputation. There is no need to synop-
tizs play so well known to the public, but
Of the people personating the different parts
it Is only right to say that they were excellent
| in their various parts. Mrs Bates has great
| ly improved since she was here last. and gave
| ore of the finest representations OF that char
acter that has ever been presented to this peo-
pie. While her idea Of the character differs
great deal from that of Helen Western, 1t Is
superior conception of the part. Among
the male members of the company, James
| NJ. Ward was good so was William M. Lam
sing but the only one who showed any real
ability among the male portion of the com.
pany was r. G. White, in the character Of
Mons. DuYal. At the matinee this after.
noon Camille F." will be presented, and to-
night will be given the sensational drama Of
"Under the Gaslight." AS Smokey Mr..
Ward is said to be without q rivsl. Hereto
fore there has been inst complaint about the
warmth of the theater. Last eight it was
warm and comfortable in every psrt, the
management having placed uoder the audito-
rum stove of sufficient capacity to make
the whole building comfortable, notwith-
standing the exceedingly cold weather.

probably through fear of her lord
and master. When arrested Lindsey was
very indignant that any one should interfere
with his domestic affairs. He said he was a
citizen of the United States and resident
| of Sacramento, and that it was against the
Constitution of the United States to inter
fers in his family affairs. After reaching the
ststion-house he began TO argue the question,
and It took three men to take him to a call.
The proof of the crime alleged is abundant,
and this morning Judge Henry will pass
upon the constitutionality of the question.
Some time ago Lindsey was sent from this

years for au attempt to commit rape. At
that time he was not blind. Some time after
