Teachers, Certificates.

EDS. RECORD UNION: In recent San
Francisco paper l notice an item to the
effect that John SWEET, Principal of the
Girls High School of that city, has filed
his annual report, in which he indignant
ly comments on the fact that graduates OF
this school, when they go into another
county, are subjected to an examination
before they are allowed to engage in the
work of their profession. He character
lied such action on the part of county
boards as an unwarranted reflection on the
efficiency of the training which the gradu-
ates of the High School receive, and the
strictness and vigor of the examination
which they have to pass preliminary to
graduation"
II Mr.. SWEET was posted in the school
laws of California, his indignation would
not have carried him into such a gross
error on this subject. The code says that
certificates must be granted only to those
who have passed q satisfactory eXamina-
ton in all the studies prescribed by the
County Boards of Education-eXcepta as
provided in Section 1775, which says thu
Board may also, without examination, grant
county certificates and fix the grade thereof
to the holders of life diplomas, California
State Educational diplomas, California
Normal School diplomas, California State
University diplomas, when recommended
by the Faculty of the University, and to
theholders OF State Normal School diplomas
of other States. High schools are not men
toned, nor could a certificate be granted
to a graduate of one by County Board OF
Education without an examination being
passed. Possibly if the reading of the school
laws were introduced in the school-room
as supplementary reading, a High School
graduate might know how TO gain a certifi-
cate for teaching, if he or she was qualified,
and it would have saved Mr.. SWEET the
modification Of talking about something he
knew nothing about. X.

nIatrnnnIitan Theatar.

Not so large an audience as it deserved,
but an appreciative and well-pleased one
witnessed the production last night of the
comedy The Private Secretary" by Long
& Motifs dramatic company. 1t is one of
the most mirthtul of plays, and aboundS in
ludicrous situations After the first few
moments of introduction il is one cOntinu-
Gus " laugh " for the audience to the close.
The theme involves the adventures of a
very innocent young man, too green to
ever ripen, who has been called to be pr
vate secretary to a gentleman of prop
erty. But he is, en- route to his post, in
duced to pause in the room of a friend
while another assumes MS name and cleri-
cal garb, apes his manner and presents
himself and takes the place for the sole
purpose of having right royal good time.
Presently the real secretary comes upon
the scene, and the attempts to secrete and
suppress him create mirth and laughter,
and the ludicrous situations, intermingled
with two love scenes, the crankiness of an
old maid enamored of spiritualism, and
the wrath of an old fellow who mistakes
tke genuine secretary for his nephew and
despises him as a milk-sop while the real
nephew is the registering bogus secretary in
whose Z" wild oats " the uncle takes delight.
In such plot there is ample opportunity
for the rollicking style and free field for
wit. The whole thing is very absurd, but
irresistably laughter provoking. 1t was well
played by J. n. Long as the genuine
Secretary, Harry Mainhall as the nephew,
and Frank Mordaunt as the tempestuous
uncle-three capital actors. The support
was excellent, embracing Francis Reineau,
who won such credit when with the jeff
reysLewis troupe last spring, Misses A. A.
Adams, Charlotte Title and Eva Gorton,
f. n. Thayer, an old favorite stock actor;
Charles Ray, new face, and several others.
Mr.. Longs Secretary IS a creation by him,
and presented with q ludicrous solemnity
that is Undesirable. Next to his success
is that of Mr.. MOrdaunt as Cattermole, the
stormy uncle. The play will be given again
tonight.

AN AMERICAN PARTY.
To Meet ut Fresno September 2Sth-Th
Principles Declared.


The following call and circular has beer
issued for the assembling of a State Con.
vention at Fresno the present month:
Believing that the time has come when it is
necessary that the people of these United States
of America should take full charge and control
OF their Government to the exclusion of the
restless revolutionary horde of foreigners who
are now seeking our shores from every part OF
the world and recognizing that the first and
most important duty of an American is to per-
petuate this Government in oil attainable purity
and strength we, citizens of these United
States, do make the following declaration
THAT all law-abiding citizens of these
United States, be they native or foreign born,
are political equals, and all citizens are equally
entitled to the protection of our laws.
2-That the naturalization laws of the United
States should be Internationally repealed.
S-That the soil of America should belong to
Americans, and that no alien, resident or nom
resident, should ever be permitted to own real
estate.
4-That no person, not in sympathy with our
Government and the principles upon which it is
founded should ever be permitted to immigrate
to these United States.
WHEREAS, The above declaration of principles
was adopted by the mass of citizens assembled
at meeting called for that purpose, and held
at Fresno City, Cal, May 27, 1856: and whereas,
at that meeting the two great parties of the
country were urged and requested to incorpo-
rate said principles and doctrines into their re-
spective platforms; and whereas, said parties
have in convention assembled, ignored said
principles and doctrines, and have refused to
incorporate them into their, or either of their
platforms, thereby repudiating the best inter.
ests wishes and rights of the American voter
and property owner; now, then, be it
ReS0lted, That State Convention of the Amer
lean party assemble at Fresno City, Cal, on
Tuesday, September %, 1886, at o'clock p. NJ,
for the purpose of adopting platform and nom
mating full ticket to contest the right, at the
coming election, of holding the various State
ON EaAnrnl of IT o tarrf
All persons from all parts of the State who in
dorse the above principles and doctrines are
cordially and earnestly requested to attend said
Convention ana participate in its labors.

c1rr;e orera House.

The Opera House was crowded las' hisi'
to witness the first appearance here OF MISS
Carrie Swain. Very soon after the doors
were opened the family circle was filled
even beyond standing-room capacity. ana
soon after the lower part of the house was
filled also. 1t was the largest Monday
night audience yet seen IN the opeIa
House. Miss Swain appeared IN piece OF
no literary merit and of strong leaning 10
the Bowerv order, but without the gross
ness usual to plays that gain that ute. Inc
plot of Cad, the Tomboy," hinges upon
the scheme of cruel uncle to deprive ms
brothers widow and children oi
their property, the imprisonment Dy
him of the widow and mother, tne
adventures of Cad disguised III male
attire in righting her mother wrongs ana
securing the punishment OF her oPpressors,
Of course this class OF plot gives the nero
inc broad opportunity for manifestation of
versatility. Miss Swain is young, petite,
comely, and her style is her own by night OF
original discovery. She dances well, sings
nicely, is natural in action, wholly unre-
strained, and yet modest winning, and pos
sesses the art of getting close to the audi
ence-of interesting the spectators lmmedl-
ately in her. She ripples and runs over
with laughter at one moment, and stills the
house the next with pathos, and commands
its sympathies at will. Her acting is Wig
orous, and of that vital quality that conveys
something of its strength and life to the
auditor. Though "Cad, the Tomboy,
is about what its name implies-a romp !;
it does not tire; on the contrary, absurd
as it is, it rests the looker-on by its vivac-
ity and humor, and the ability of the little
lady who fills it mainly to call the mind
away from the days cares to genuine
amusement. Miss Swain is supported by
a company well adapted to the task, and
embracing Charles Edmonds, George r.
Game, Clara Jean Walters. The piece will
be repeated tonight. The management
has changed the rates of admission, so as
to make the dress circle reserved, all seats
in it selling at 70 cents, and reserved with
out extra cost. Reserved seats elsewhere,
10 cents; parquet, 80 cents; family circle,
% cents

A Shocking Gaze.

The Woodland Democrat of yesterday had
the following A man who came down
from Williams two or three days since re-
lates story that in ghastliness and fiend-
ishness seldom finds an equal. 1t is to the
effect that one morning last week the
neighbOrs and persons passing in and out
of Williams noticed bundle on the fence
at the roadside, but each person who saw
it concluded that it was some bundle that
tramp had placed there, and took no
further notice of it. The bundle remained
on the fence until afternoon, in the hot sun
and subject to the severity of a strong north
wind. Some children, coming from school,
looked into the bundle, and were startled
at the sight Of child's foot. \ hasty ex-
animation disclosed the fact that the ne
elected bundle contained the body OF a
young child. a medical examination re-
suited in the opinion that the child was
alive when placed there, and had actually
died of exposure. The good people were
Justly indignant, and many were the
threats Of lynching provided the guilty
party or parties could be discovered: 1t is
supposed that somebody, desiring to dis
pose of the babe had placed 1t on the fence
at an early hour, and as ii was close to the
houses and road expected some good Sa-
marian would find and care for it"

Address. the Magician.

Address, the celebrated ilIusionist and
renowned bird-trainer commenced a weeks
engagement in his large tent, at Fifteenth
and NJ streets, near the Pavilion, last even
ing The seating capacity of his tent was
sorely taxed, there hardly being room
enough to accommodate all who attended.
The entertainment, in its entirety is good
one, the trained birds and dogs doing some
wonderful and very clever tricks. His
trapeze performer and juggler are really
wonderful artists, while his own sleight-of
hand and illusion tricks are equal to the
best, and most of them new. His tricks
ers in the same line of business here have
stage. Some of % his funny business has
a twang" of roughness about it, that
ii would be much better to omit. Espe-
cially was this the case of his action in tax
ing gentlemans hat, which was kindly
loaned him to assist in the performance of
a trick. The lads he used upon the stage,
whether imported by him for the occasion,
or lads who went upon the stage at his
asking, certainly did not deserve the rough
treatment they received at his hands.
While his performance is good-all that he
claims for it-still it is marred by his own
acts OF OVERRIDING, At the close of the per-
formance large number of valuable pres
ents were distributed through the audience,
chief among which was china tea set.
Another performance will be given to-
night, with an entire change of programme.
The chief present this evening will be a
china tea set, hand painted.

Troublesome Hirhvaymen.

About 10 o'clock Sunday night, while
street car No. s was passing through TWEEN
tieth street, on its way to the stable for the
night, near the corner of \ street two men
suddenly appeared, one of whom endeav-
ored to stop the horse and the other to
enter the car. The driver struck at the
man who was at the horses head with his
whip, and urged his horse, at the same
time closing the car door. The man by the
horse drew pistol and fired shot, which
alarmed the animal into making quick
time out of that locality. Probably the
driver was not shot at, as no trace of the
bullet can be found on the car The same
night Il citizen going up street, between
Fourteenth and Fifteenth, was ordered by
two men to halt, but feeling in need of ex-
ercise he concluded to run. They called to
him to stop, and fired a shot, but by that
time he was going too fast for the bullet to
catch him.
