OUGHT TO BE SUPPRESSED.
Why are Such Outrages Permitted? -Pol

Why are Such Outrages Permitted ?-Por-
tions of the City Terrorized.
If every city and town in the State is as
good school of vice as Sacramento the
two prisons will have to soon be doubled in
capacity, in order to accommodate the
young criminals who are daily graduating
This city is full of young men ranging in
ages from seventeen to twenty-one who
have no visible means of support, and who
at all times of the day and night are to be
found hanging around beer saloons and the
low dives, of which there are very many in
this city. Let q person travel on X street
from Fourth to Front any night between Il
and l o'clock, and he will find scores OF
! young men and girls conserving with old
and hardened criminals of both sexes and
| frequenting dives so disreputable that man
or woman who has any respect for them
! selves would not look into, let alone enter.
| Why are such sinks of iniquity. such rob-
| bers' roosts, such rendezvous for Jail birds
and convicts allowed TO exist in this city ?
is often asked by the aw-abding and re-
! spectacle.
| The residents in the neighborhood of
! Sixth and Nj streets are loud in their COM
| plants OF a gang of hoodlumish bows.
! ranging from 10 to Is years of age, that
keep that locality terrorized. They are
vicious and profane as well as hoodlumish,
and have no regard for the property of
others. Within the last week they have
become more than usually bold and defiant,
and have broken more than SIS worth of
| window panes. Several days ago. while
indulging in an indiscriminate throwing of
| rocks, clods and broken bricks, some one
threw large stone through a window of
house on Nj street, completely SCATTERING
the glass and striking a lady in the side.
She was not hurt much, however, but had
| the stone been thrown a little higher and
slightly to one side she might have been seri-
ously injured, Their vandalism was with
out bounds yesterday. A Chinese cigar ped
dler was proceeding down Sixth street, when
this crowd of candidates for the County Jail
espied him and commenced an assault
upon him with whatever they could find
to throw. The Chinaman was struck many
times and many severe bruises inflicted
about his head. They kept up their merci-
less pelting and the Chinaman was forced
TO seek shelter in an adjacent back yard.
The boys, however, followed him there
and renewed their onslaught and were only
driven Oft by a citizen coming from his
house and threatening TO shoot them if
they did not leave the premises immedi-
ately. The names of the leaders of this
gang of young ruffians have been given to
the police.

EIocution Entertainment.

An entertainment was given by one o.
the classes OF H. C. Eastman, teacher Of
elocution, at the Metropolitan Theater. A
very large audience was in attendance
The entertainment opened-after an over
ture by the orchestra-wIth a class recita-
ton, Charge of the Light Brigade" by a
class so large as to nearly fill the stage.
Then followed these Rotations a.. legend
of the Organ Builder, Maud Jones; Order
for a Picture" Lille Wallace; Jamie
Douglass" Edna Johnson. A vocal solo
by Gertie Van Tassell, varied the exercises
at this point, after which recitations pro.
ceeded as follows: Sister and / ;" bv Fannie
Sinay lin costume); Battle of Ivry," Paul
Maslin; The Inventors wife, Lucy Diefen;
dorf Tin costume); jamie, by Daisy Was
serman ASLEEP at the Switch" by Grace
Craw. Mr.. Eastman then gave a very
effective reading of The Raven" In many
respects it differed from most other read
ings of Poe's familiar poem, but did not lose
merit by comparison. 1t was given with a
good deal of dramatic effect, and the stage
setting was made to contribute to that end.
In response to an encore he gave three i'm
itations OF drunken men. These were
dramatically accurate and painfully life
ike, but they In no wise served 10 demon

tute would have been better, even if less
amusing. The old-time farce, "A Quiet
Family" was then played-Paul Maslin,
George Bower, Arthur Goodhue, Charles
Harrison, Grace Craw, Hattie Williamson,
Lille Wallace and Daisy Wasserman as
Stunning the characters. 1t was played very
much better, than any one expected. 1t is
an olP Eg1ish farce that has COM
manded 81 des of the best low comedy
talent of the stage for twenty-five years,
and that youths should do 50 well in
1t IS creditable alike to their native ability
and the skill of their instructor. a com
mittee of five persons, strangers TO the con-
testants and not named before the au-
dience, reported to the teacher these awards,
which Mr. Eastman made: A silver medal
to Fannie Slnav, a copy of Shakespeare's
works 10 Lille Wallace, Tennyson's poems
to Daisy Wassermau. Not knowing what
degree of excellence or lack of training in
reading characterized the class prior TO MIR.
Eastman taking it in charge, it is impos-
slble to say what progress it has made
under his tuition. The pupils. however,
gave creditable exhibition, read with dis.
tinctness emphasized-in the main-cor-
rectlY, and We're observant of most of the
rules governing good readers, but of course
not to that degree of excellence possible
for them with greater culture and more
training. As a whole, the entertainment
was pleasing, and reflected credit upon the
participants and teacher.
