thorne as Frou-Frou maintained the
interest well. She was, however. more re-
served in vocal power, and less demonstra
i've IN the part, than any others who have
played II here. 1t was evidently purpose
Iui, since the lady has ample strength of
tone and vigor to expend, but her estimate

salaries 49, $50 were audited. Warden
McComb presented his monthly report, the
prisoners enjoying good health, working

The health record Of the prison is shown to
be something remarkable The work on
the prison wall and on the many improve
ments Is being pushed vigorously, though
occasionally the heavy fog obliees a sus-
pension of labor. An application was
made by prisoner to ascertain his status
under the law. He had pleaded guilty to a
charge OF grand larceny and was sen
fenced to three years imprisonment: he
then pleaded guilty to a charge of forgery,
and was sentenced to two years imprison-
ment. The code says When any per
son has been convicted of two or more
crimes before sentence has been pro-
nounced upon him for either, the impris-
onment to which he is sentenced upon the
second or other subsequent conviction,
must commence at the termination of the
hrSt term," etc. The case will probably be
heard IN the Supreme Court as it is
claimed that he was sentenced on the first
charge before pleading on the second
charge. Several prisoners were reported

prived of their credits The Board ad-
Journed, to meet at San Quentin on the 23d.

iary TO the strong cast engaged in its pre-

Discount ON SILvER.-The banks of this
city have fixed a rate of discount of one
fourth of one per cent. upon all silver re-
ceived on deposit or in business transac-
tons. This they claim is necessary to
keep from loss in handling silver coin, or
rather the silver dollars, as they accumu-
late in their vaults, the amounts paid in
being greater than they can dispose of in
the usual transaction of business. The ac-
emulation, they state, becomes nuisance,
and necessitates the shipping elsewhere of
the surplus.

tises TO sell at a less price than he does.
