METROPOLITAN THEATER.-It is rare that
so complete and polished dramatic per
Torrance is seen upon the Metropolitan
stage as that by Miss Rose Eytinge and
company last evening. The play was Tom
Taylor's drama, Still Waters Run Deep"
Miss Eytinge was Miss Sternholds, minor
part, but she could afford TO take it, as she
did, and make it one of the best dramatic
pictures of the evening. Miss Wilkes was
Mrs. Mildmay, and filled the role admira-
bly,. But the chief laurels were worn by
Mr.. Malone and Mr.. Vintol.. The former
has not before been seen here in any part
in which he was so effective, natural and
completely impersonal. The play was,
from beginning 70 end, admirably given,
and with that ease, naturalness and fin
ish that characterizes tirst-class work.
While the house was a good one the per-
Torrance, as an artistic effort, deserved a
very much broader recognition. Notwith-
standing the extensive advertising and
billing of the new season, the improvement
in attendance was but slight. But not one
who attended last evening will regret it
probably not one departed at the close who
did not feel fully compensated for having
attended. Tonight the Grand Army Posts
have the house for benefit and that fact
should induce large attendance. The
Posts are deserving and honored local insti-
tutions which are frequently called upon
for heavy charitable OUTLAWS, and deserve
assistance. They very seldom ask it of
the public however. The play tonight
will bethe sensational drama Felicia"

HOWARD BENEVOLENT AssoCIATIoN.-The
operations of the Association for the month
Of December, as they appear in the monthly
reports, were as follows Two hundred and
thirty-seven persons relieved, by 756 dis
penSations. There are now receiving aid,
widOws), and 90 children, in all 145, who
will require helping hand through the
winter months. The Treasurer reports
$421 30 received from the Charity bali, 5125
from cash donations, $33 55 from interest
account, and S104 IS from the monthly
subscription, his disbursements being
S2S5 IS, leaving, January LIST, $894 50 as the
balance in the Treasury. The bills audited
at the meeting amounted to S3l6 g. leaving
$57S 81 for the winters use. The dona-
tons of clothing have been unusually
large, which has enabled the Steward to
dispense more literally in that line over
400 articles of wearing apparel having been
given out during the month, chiefly second
hand, and the demand still exceeds the
supply, especially in women and children's
clothing, undertaking, and shoes. The
public are aware that causes now in Gper-
alton make this a hard winter for the poor.
LEAvITT's SPECIALITY CoMPANY.-M. B.
Leavitt's speciality company, which has
been playing to fine business in San Fran
CISCO will appear at the Metropolitan in
this city next Friday and Saturday even
ings, and ct matinee Saturday afternoon.
1t is difficult matter to gather together u
large company of speciality artists of ac-
knowledged merit in these days, when
nearly every performer who ranks little
above the average imagines himself a
bright particular star, and strenuously pro-
tests against any other actor being spoken
of in the same breath, but Mr. Leavitt, in
his present organization, has accomplished
it. and his boast of possessing the strongest
company of the kind that has ever been on
the road does not appear to be much of an
exaggerahon. The programme of each
entertainment gives great variety as well
as superior quality, and thus maintains the
interest throughout the evening.

spondent of the RECORD c MON at Clarks-
Vile, FL Dorado county, under date of

the head with a shotgun. From the evil

age, and that the rash act was premedi-
tated. He had been suffering severely for
two months with an attack of neuralgia,
and it is supposed that he took this means
of putting an end to his suffering. He was
an old citizen, honest and upright in all his
dealings, and respected by all who knew
him.
