Wise and Unwise.

A CLEVER lady was once caught in
the wrong, yet extricated herself
gracefully. She was trying to milk
her first COW, and in her ignorance,
had stationed herself on the left side.
It was near the public road. A man
riding by stopped at the novel sight
and blurted out:
Madam, you are on the wrong side
of that cow!n
1t was news to her, but her ready
mother wit came to her aid.
"Yes, sir" was the pleasant reply,
shut this isn't common COW. She
was raised by a left-handed woman"
She came off conqueror.-Walker

Board of Education.

A special meeting of the City Board Of
Education was held iii the Office of the
superintendent last evening, for the pur,
pose of considering the ACCESSIBILITY of EN-,
ploying an additional teacher at the
Twenty-fourth and N-streets school, owing
to the fact that there were $50 pupils and
but three teachers, which made an average
OF 60 to a teacher, which was considered
too much for one instructor to do Justice to
That portion of the city is fillingup rapidly
with residences, and the school roll re-
ceives a dozen or more additions each
month.
Director Slater moved that a seventh
grade be established at Twenty-fourth and
\ streets. Carried.
Miss Nellie Todd was elected to take
charge of the grade.
The Directors then proceeded to elect
two teachers, one Tor the high, the other
for the low eighth class, halliday teachers
at $50 per month. Miss Minnie Keifcr and
Miss Henrietta Hersum were placed in
nomination and elected.
The Board then proceeded to elect two
substitutes to take the place of the tw o last
named teachers promoted. Miss Lucy
Heard and Miss Clara Bellmer were
elected.
The substitute teachers now are Miss
Lizzie O'Brien, Mrs. J K. Brown, Miss
Lucy Heard and Miss Clara. Bellmer.
The Furniture and Supply Committee
were authorized TO furnish all the school
rooms with the. necessary furniture and
supplies.
Director ChattertOn moved that the
school at Twenty-fourth and n streets be
declared grade-school. Carried. This
done away with the position Of Principal
who has been getting salary Of $50 pei

Director Chatterton offered the following
which was adopted:

NIetronolitan Theater.

The Metropolitan was filed last night in
orchestra, dress circle and galleries. 1t was
what the managers would call a packed
house. The attraction was Mr. Sheridan
as Louis XI. The play was given with all
the effectiveness common to il in Mr.. Sher-
idan's hands 1t is his masterpiece, and he
stands in it unsurpassed. Ii was splendid
effort, and won for the tragedian the most
complimentary expressions of gratilied
audience. Miss Davenport rs the Dauphin
was fully equal 10 the role, and gave II at
its best Miss Clyde Iarron as Maria de
Commines justified the judgment formed
of her capacity. A mere beginner Us yet,
the young lady gives promise of q high de
gree of excellence. The support appeared
to far better advantage than on the first
night, and brought out some new faces
The company has certainly won for the
legitimate " for once" in this place full
recognition. This afternoon for matinee
performance Mr.. Sheridan will put upon
the stage the drama of The Marble
Heart" and tonight, for the first time in
Sacramento, the tragedy, The Fools Re
venge" Ii will be specially mounted for
the occasion, and improved scenery in un-
der preparation for it. Tomorrow night,
in response 90 general request, Louis XII
will be again played 1t will constitute
Mr.. Sheridan's farewell performance, as he
and his company are about to leave the
coast. The orchestra was very weak last
evening, and the management solicits the
statement that it is fully conscious of the
fact, but that it was due to the sudden i'll
ness of one of the orchestra corps, the en-
gagement of another, from which release
could not be obtained, and the impossible
itv of filling the gaps in time for the per-
Torrance, but that the defects will be REM
edied to-day.

why is the Evil Neglected ?

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN 1t is now a week
since the attention of the Board of Health
was called to the fact that that portion OF
the city lying between Tenth. Thirteenth,
n and r streets, was invaded by a most
sickening stencil, and that relief was de-
manded by the people living about there
But the offensive odor was Just as strong
this friday evening as ever-so strong
and penetrating, in fact, that it could not
even be shut out from dwellings, but
invaded all parts of them. Already diph-
iberia has made its appearance, and
it is said that in one family there
are two children 50 low with that dread dis
ease that they are expected to die at any
moment. 1t is evident that to one of two
things all this trouble can be traced. Eli
ther the Thirteenth sewer needs
flushing and cleansing. or else the rottenest
sort of stuff is being deposited in the dump
piles Just over the R-street levee. | have
seen barrels of decomposed mackerel, salt
pork and canned goods that had spoiled
dead animals and all sorts of garbage Carted
into the excavations there in the past, and
no doubt such things are being done at this
time. But it should be an easy matter for
somebody in authority to determine what
the trouble is, and then to remove the
cause If something be not done soon to
correct the evil, people will have to aban-
don their homes and go where they can get
fresh air to breathe
