Charity Entertainments.
At the Clunie Opera House this after
noon Chas. NJ. Prodger's latest novelty,
"a Tour of the World in 1919 Minutes by
the Pneumatic Railroad, ~ will be presented
for the benefit of the Protestant Orphan
Asylum. 1t shows the trials and tribula-
tons of three q globe trotters,n and an adj
vertiser in their tour of the world via the
Pneumatic Railway, and incidental to
their visits to different countries the songs,
dances, etc.. of those countries will
be rendered. About fifty people
will assist in the entertainment
The Capital City Wheelmen, assisted by
c. ]. Schuster, of San Francisco, will give
bicycle riding in England; Rollin Rennich
and pupils, dancing in Scotland Messrs.
Kidder, Campbell, Chambers, Wiseman
Mrs. May Hubbard and G. w. Watson,
dances in Spain and Japan and Mrs.

and others will appear in other songs and
dances. In the North Pole scene E. B. Car
roll will represent Uncle Sam; Walter
Greer, Santa Claus Messrs. Gray, George,
Rogers and others will appear as skaters,
and Burns and others as singers. In Africa
the trained elephant will be introduced
with Ernest Erauw as the advertiser, and
in that scene there will be ponies, donkeys
and other animals. The afternoon per-
Torrance will be more particularly ar
ranged to please the children, and it will
be worth the trouble and trihing expense
to attend and witness their iov, to say moth
ing of the noble charity to be benefited In
the evening the Santa Claus business will
be cut out, but it will be more than COM
pensated for by Miss Rose Wood and James
o. Barrows, who have kindly volunteered
to enact the balcony scene from " Romeo
and Juliet" 1t had been proposed to give
the receipts of the afternoon performance
to the orphan fund, and those of the even
ing to fund to be used as the nucleus
for the organization of an Infants
Shelter" in Sacramento-a needed institu-
ton, and such as are in practical operation
in many cities. The idea is to secure
proper central house, to be presided over
by kindly matron, where women willing
and able to go out to work may leave their
younger children for the day. and assure
their kind care for a small sum. Such
shelters are mainly self disappearing after
being once put upon their feet. To avoid
any misunderstanding, however, it has
been decided to divide the receipts of the
two performances between the two objects.
There will not be any other amusementS to
attract the public, and without doubt the
charitable pc )ple of Sacramento, who have
never been called upon in vain for liberal
aid toward worthy institutions, will extend
such generous patronage that the theateT
will be crowded The play will be put upon
the stage handsomely, with beautiful
scenery and accessories of all sorts, and the
prices are so reasonable that all can attend
TREADwELL PARDoNED.-The Governor
issued pardon to w. B. Treadwell, who
was sent to prison from Yolo county in
Nav last to serve a sentence OF four years
for embezzlement. The Prison Directors
recommended the pardon on the ground
that very large number of the wealthiest
most influential and most responsible citi-
zens of the county in which Treadwell re-
sided and in counties adjoining petitioned
for the pardon, on the ground that his pun
ishment would be g lasting one more out
of prison than in; that his wife and foul
children were objects of charity, needing
his assistance, and the ends of justice were
subserved. Treadwell is a bright young
attorney, who at one time was located in
this city, and his arrest, trial and convic
ton are familiar to the readers of the
RECORD UNION.
