Clunie Opera House.

Hazel kirke" was produced at this
house last night. The play was never set
better on any stage on the coast The
scenery in the first act was beautiful. real
istic, and in every way admirable For
the first time it introduced new dressing of
the flies that completed the illusion of per-
spective through a forest and over rolling
lands in the far distance. In the second
act the parlor interior was exceedingly
handsome. The wall scenes were ad-
nirably painted, nothing better or as good
ever having been seen here upon the
boards, while the stage furnishing was as
complete in detail and in as good taste as
the exacting could desire. Miss BOYLE
made good Hazel, developing much more
power than in May Blossom" She was
thrice called before the curtain. Miss
Hayne was fairly acceptable as Dolly Dut-
ton and Miss Marshall, the Lady Travers
of the piece, with but little to do. Miss
Emma Heath, as Mercy Kirke, made her
first appearance here, and created so good
an impression as to receive a call before the
curtain. She is of fine stage presence. good
voice, and reads with feeling She. how
ever, needs to dwarf her comeliness consid-
erably, and to play the part as an older
woman, even at the partial sacrifice of a

Gus Green of the piece, and a very good one
very much better than was expected, and
it won him call to the footlights. Mr..
Sambrook as Aaron Rodney was entirely
acceptable, as also was Mr.. Staley as Barney
the servant. G. L. Montserratt as Caring
ford was given his first opportunity here to
appear to full advantage. He proved to
have good taste, clear delivery, feeling,
and capacity to interpret the part.
The chief of the cast, however. was
Louis Morrison as Dunstan Kirke. He
plays the part better than C. W. Couldock,
the original in the part and who still PLAYS
it. 1t was better and stronger conception
of the character and more forcible and
feeling rendition of it. Mr.. Morrison is at
far better advantage in the role than in
that he assumed last week. He presented
the character of the old iron-willed miller
with great force and a depth of feeling that
was about the closest possible approach BY
art to nature. 1t was thoroughly artistic
performance, and he left no room, except
for the captious. to suggest improvement.
The play, as whole, was well presented.
is full of activity, pathos and appeals to
the better emotions, and is so well mounted
by the managers and so well cast that it
should draw better than May Blossom
than which it is more dramatic and
stirring piece of work. The same bill to-

The CITY Board of Trustees.

The City Board of Trustees met in regu-
lar session at 10 a. NJ. yesterday, all the
members present,
The City Engineer reported that the
Water-works had been in operation 16S
hours during the past week, and q, 1885,
$50 gallons of water pumped.
Business firms and truckmen petitioned
the Board to eobble, gravel or otherwise
pave Front street, from 0 to NJ, claiming
that it was almost impossible in the winter
time. The property-holders offered to paw
$500. The entire work it is estimated, will
cost s., 500. Front street is unlike any other
street in the city-one-half, that next to the
river, belonging to the city. Captain Dryer
appeared on behalf of the petitioners. The
proposition was discussed at length, and
finally the Board passed a resolution of in
tention to pave the blocks referred to- and

Water Company, whose property lies be-
tween the south and middle forks of the

Their source of supply is Loon lake, a
beautiful body of water lying in little

miles this side of Lake Tahoe. Besides
Loon lake, the company own the heads of
the Rubicon river and Pilot creek, and the
three sources combined furnish an abun-

annum, and will have the water in this
city and in the mains in a very few
months after the papers are signed.
The Trustees are willing to give the PEG.

CONFLICTING STATUTEs.-In Justice Haines'
Court, yesterday, the case of John Faria
Hardy, proprietor of ferry at or near
Freeport, who was arrested by Constable
Manuel De Costa for misdemeanor in fish
ing for salmon during the close season. was
called. The defendant entered a plea of
guilty, and stated that he fished only for
amusement, and the fish caught his family
consumed. He was fined $50, and paid it.
Under the law relative to illicit fishing il
IS provided that one-half of a fine collected
shall go to the informer, one-fourth to the
Fish Commissioners, and the remaining
fourth TO the District Attorney. Yester-
day, upon payment of the fine, Grove L..
Johnson, counsel for the defendant, OBJ
Jected to the payment of any portion of the
money to the informant-De Costa--for the
reason that he was public officer, and the
county government bill provides Just what
compensation officers shall receive. The
same objection of course holds as to the
District Attorney receiving any portion of
the fine. The objection having been made.
Justice Haines concluded, though believ--
ing that the Constable apd District Attor-
ney were entitled to the money, to hold on
to it until the Superior Court passes upon
the question. Another warrant has been
sw orn out by the Constable for the arrest of
another fisherman who has been violating
the law-Frank Joseph.

An Old Beau.

Says q Saratoga correspondent: One
of the great characters at Saratoga is
an old beau by the name of Andrews.
He has been coming to Saratoga for
the last forty years. He seems to be
known to but few. He rarely speaks
to any one and is still more rarely
spoken to. He is q man who is very
square in figure and who is quite
round-shouldered. He has a long.
hatchet face. cold. fishy blue eyes,
sunken cheek-bones, q long, thin,
dropping nose, and a large, curved
mouth. His face is smooth-shaven,
with the exception of its sides, where
is pendent a pair of very long, thin,
straight whiskers. These are red next
his face; through the centre they are
black; while upon the ends the color
changes to that of light purple. His
hair is very thin. 1t is parted with
great carefulness behind his head and
is combed up over his ears, in front of
which hang two straight wisps of what
was once very red hair, but which is
now sandy gray. Upon his head ne
slouches q black Alpine hat His
clothes are made several sizes too
large for him so as to conceal the ex-
treme thinness of his figure. His coat
and waistcoat are dark blue and of an
oId-fashioned cut. His trousers are a
gray plaid. He is very neat in his
linen and always carries in his left
hand pair of kid-gloves. saw an
old New Yorker recently who knew
him. He said that he was in his time
one of the greatest beaus ever known
in New York. He was the son of one
of the leading carpet importers of that
day, the Sloane of that time. He was
the companion of the Haggertys and
COStas.

Sumner and His Assailants.

No man who ever held q seat in the
senate, though no one could have
given less occasion, was subjected to
more insult than Mr.. Sumner; and it
was not altogether confined to politi-
cal opponents, for sometimes his treat
ment was cruelty indecent by the pet
ty men of his own party, utterly incap-
able of approaching him, or. of the
Jealous men who chafed under his su-
premacy in the senate and with the
people.
A person by the name of Stewart,
who by some chance held seat from
the rotten borough of Nevada, rather
cultivated the habit of speaking OF
Mr.. Sumner as "a nuisance" and real
ly took pride in making his presence
in the senate offensive to the Massa-
chusetts senator. One day when Mr..
Sumner had made long speech, in
which he had taken occasion, with
honorable frankness, to discuss his re-
lations with certain leading men of the
party, then somewhat disturbed, and
when the crowded galleries and the
senate itself had been moved to pro-
found emotion by the touching pathos
of some passages of the speech, and a
sentiment of respect at least had been
awakened in every manly heart, MIR.
Hamlin, of Maine, called the attention
of the country to his moral and intel
lectual dimensions by calling out from
his seat as Mr.. Summer concluded:
Let US sing Old Hundred '''-NesC

A Ruined Mans Palace.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Bulletin, writing from New York, says:
MIR. Willard, it is certain, has no intima-
tion until the last moment of the trou-
BILE that was to come upon him and
ruin him. He laid his plans for the
future with mathematical precision.
He had an enormous income and he
used it freehandedly. One of his ex-
travagances was splendid mansion
which he built on Madison avenue.
When the crash came and he had to
meet his debts the house went out OF
his grasp with other assets. This was
. the hardest blow of all, for Willard had
put his heart in this house. This is
why, possibly that the Willard mansion
is one of the most beautiful dwellings,
in New York The simpleness of the
impression made by its interior deco
ration is quite extraordinary. The
building itself is copied from an Italian
palace. 1t is part of group OF
buildings, six altogether. The Willard
house is q right wing of the entire
structure. One enters the vestibule
by court and finds himself in an TIA
liam palace, of course on a small scale.
The color is that of Sienna marbles and
deeper browns. The hall runs at right
angles with the vestibule. opening at
one end into drawing-room suite and
at the other into music room. The
walls are paneled with Sienna marble
of various tints. The vaults of the
ceiling are inlaid with a Renaissance
design. There is a splendid fireplace,
and above this is Il relief figure by
Augustus ST. Gaudens. Throughout
the hall and vestibule there are so many
exquisite details of workmanship that
it is hard to refer to them in matter
of-fact way. The dining-room is divi-
ded by mahogany pillars into three
divisions and is ornamented with geor-
geous effect. The walls are hung with
ecru silk wrought in the tints of mahog-
any. The walls have restful tint OF
unbroken cream. Slabs of Mexican
onyx surmount the fireplace. The
dining-room is paneled in old oak it;
is divided by screen of perforated
carving. The music-room is lofty
apartment in white and gold, with soft
pine wainscoting. On the second tioor
the library is in mahogany. Then
there is an antique room with a nail
studded ceiling. In fact, there are so
many wonderful chambers in the house
which MIR. Willard will never, it is
thought, rest his head in, that one can
only sympathize with man who could
have built SO noble a structure and
then lost it.

Afraid to Love.

Ny Sadie Aurella, she drives every day
By the side of the sea where the bright bill
lows play;
And uncommonly pretty she looks rs she sits
In ilor-made costume, the neatest of fits,
And handles the ribbons with sportsmanlike
zeal,
And her fingers are little. but hrmer than
steel.
The turnout is as neat as youn find far and
wide,
And a trim little tiger sits perched by her
side.
Ah! lovely is Sadie, and happy am
To be blessed with her bow as she passes me
For she smiles upon me in her beauty and
And sweet is the glance which she deigns to
And YOU wonder, perchance. why don't take
So graciously given, and venture to WOO,
And DER the smooth road of Loves future to
Displacing the tiger who sits by her side.
Well, yes she is fair; she is lovely, in truth;
She has gold. she has grace. she has wit, she
has youth;
And think she'd have me. If asked hard
enough,
And the road of the future g not like to be
rough.
But steel are her fingers. and steel is her eye.
And Just look at her touch as she fiicks of
that fiyl
Ahi how should like it. to win such BRIDE
And to be just the tiger that sits by her slider

Her Little Pet Cat.

Little Susie had a pet cat which is
much older than its mistress; SO much
older, in fact, that it is in an advanced
state of decrepitude. Susie heard her
mother say that she thought she would
have the cat chloroformed. 1t is hoped
the child did not understand the full
import of the word, for the next day
she went to her mother with the cat in
her arms, and asked her if she wanted
to chloroform it. ''Yes, SUSIE" was
the reply, Il think it will be better to
do so; you know she is very old and
feeble and doesn't enjoy life much. !"
.Well, mamma" said the little inno-
cent, ''don't you think it would be
well to chloroform grandma, too? She
is very old and feeble, and this hot
weather she is awful cross. l don't
think she enjoys life, aud ! know l
don't when she scolds me. "--Net0 York

No Mash.

A nice, common, everyday dude was
stupidity masquerading his form along
St. Clair street last night, when a
handsome woman put her head out of
a second-story window and said:
BABY"
The dude wavered, almost sunk with
a sickening boom, stuck his eye-glasz
into his right optic, glared up at the
window, smiled nauseatingly, and
said:
..Weally, now, ye know. Pom my
word, q mashn'
Come, baby. come" said the wo-
man at the window.
"Weally, ye know gasped the
dude, Il cahn't. Pm on me way to
see me gurley, We know"
A little child, spattered with mud
and its sweet blue eyes flashing with
indignation, ''sized up'' the dude for a
moment, then stopped to the ground,
seized a rock, and said:
''Twit taughtin' to my muzzer, you
little duder'
No mash C9ereland PlaindeaEer.

English Journalism.

A great London editor visited New
York last week and expressed surprise
at the methods of American journal

tone that pervades the American news
papers, and at the articles published

In the northern part of Nebraska an
Irish colony, called jackson. has been
settled for twenty-nine years, six of the
colonists of which are worth from S40,-
600 to $50, 900. They were very poor
when they arrived there, and were so
discouraged by the desolate appear
ance of the prairie and the loneliness
and desolation, which affects the Irish
SO much. that if they had had the money
they would have lett. Fortunately
they had not. They had come up by
steamers from the Southern States,
where they had been digging bitches,
