TIE San Francisco Alta says that
tickets of admission to the Democratic
Convention "were in the hands of brokers
and hawked on the streets for sale" while
country visitors accompanying delegates.
perhaps members of their families, were
excluded This is little the worst yet.
Talk of extortion and hoggishness. Los
Angeles "cinched" every stranger and
squeezed his purse dry when the Republic
can Convention met there, besides bleed
ing candidates till they cried ENERGY !"
Now, in San Francisco Democrats put the
privilege to look on at their pow-wow on
the street for sale. In all that has been so
wickedly, uniustly and maliciously said
against Sacramento as the Capital, never
were such charges made. 1t looks very
much rs if politicians and managers of
party are now convinced that the place for
a Convention for economy, comfort, speedy
action and hospitable treatment, is at the
Capital City.

THE EFFECT FROM THE STAGE

Is even more pleasing From the latter
standpoint the richness of the upholstery
and mahogany woodwork contrast finely
with the brilliant colors of the frescoing
and the display of gliding below the
proscenium boxes and around the front of
The gallery The stage itself is 40 feet deep
by GO in length, and is entirely new.
There are fifteen dressing-rooms in all,
some of them beneath the stage and some
above, and aspacious green-room has been
added on the west side of the stage. Four
doors provide abundant means of egress
from the latter to the alley. The stage
has what none on the coast can boast
of-adjustible grooves FOR the reception of
scenery of different dimensions. These
grooves are double-lointed and hung with
chains, bv which they can be adjusted to
" flies y Of any length. This is an advant-
age that will be appreciated in this era of
specially business, when so many COM
panies are compelled to carry their scenery
with them about the country. The entire
stage machinery is of the latest and best
invention, and much of it especially that
above mentioned) of kind not met with
in any other California theater. The space
reserved for the orchestra is separated from
the parquet by bronzed iron railing,
which extends the full length of the stage.

uNTAGGED DOGS.
Io tha Preas ana Dakotaian.

To tie Press and Dakotaiaa.
Whose duty ID it to enforce the law
against the %untagged dogs? A ride
about the city last evening revealed the
fact that the countless myrlads of
CANNES which HE'D themselves away
when they first read of the two dollar
tax, have emerged from their seclusion
and are looking for the shin bones of
pedestrians to polish up. No less than
eight OF these tegless, tex eluders came
bounding out to brighten the horses, as
if proud of their unpaid %existance.
Surely any dog that is not worth two
dollars a year to his master is not
worth keeping, and as it is fair to
suppose that all u~ntagged dogs are
considered valueless by their owners, the
city marshal would confer a favor upon
the families Keeping such worthless curs
by quietly sending them to the happy
hunting grounds.
No man likes to kill his own animals,
no matter how valueless they are, but
when q man neglects to pay the tax OF
his dog, and get it registered, he simply
! asks the proper authorities to take care
of it. A glance at the register in the
city clerks office will show whose dog
are paid for, and whose dogs are
worthless. CITIZEN.

Something in the way OF a blaze &C.
Cured last night, which if 1t had
not been OPPORTUNITY extlnguished,

a short distance below the round house.
The men promptly rushed to the burn
ing boat, and with water dipped from
the river in buckets proceeded to put
out the fire. } This they accomplished,
but not aefcre considerable damage had
been done. <The fire had demolished the

and had begun eating its way into

Managed and Capt. WATSON ls of the
Fopinion that $1,000 will fix things up in
as good shape as before. There is no
insurance.
The boiler was filed with water when
it was left for the night aud it therefore
passed through the ordeal OF heat with
out injury. Its connections with the
engine were melted or warped out OF
shape and will need be replaced. The
boiler deck has q hole in it and the tim
bers of the hold are soorched. The fire
was just beginning to take possession o.
the lower part of the boat when helI
arrived.
There is no other opinion than tina
the fire was caused by an incendiary act
As late as seven o'clock last evening
there was no fire in the furnace and the
IRON about the boilers, as well as thu
boilers were cooled off. Had the fire
originated from natural, causes j
could not have occurred from the con
tact of wood with heated iron work, o.
the wood and iron did not touch in an,
