The Pyke COMPANY.

The closing performance of The
Black Nantes by the Pyke Opera Com
pany at the Pavilion last night was wit
messed by an audience more select than
numerous. Miss Manfred in the role of
|" Girola" won the hearts of all present,
her appearance being charming and her
acting good; and Messrs. Colby and
Gates also did some fine work in their
respective parts. Tonight The Makade
will be produced by special request, and
as it is the last presentation of this piece
that will be given here for some time it
should attract a good house. Tomorrow
evening Ruddygore will take the boards,
and the management promise a produc-
ton that will equal anything yet given
by the company.

A Fortunate Drugggst.

Mr.. Edwin ". Joy for many years and now q
prosperous druggist on the corner of Stockton and
Market streets in San Francisco, probably never
dreamed Of rivaling in wealth the medicine kings
OF the country. But various rumors having been
floating around to the effect that he has struck it
the cause, and after much difficulty uuravelled
the following story:
.ltseems that about seven years ago an English
physician, great student of botany, located for
brief season in this CITY, His practice was not ex
tensive, and yet the few cases of general nature
that came to him attracted little attention His
greatest success seemed to be in the treatment of
liver and kidney disorders, and vitiated blood. In
fact his ability to cope with these common COM
plants was little short Of the marvellous. He
seemed almost infallible, and his quiet modest
methods and his we'll kept secret was as much a
mystery as himself After his departure about
yearlater Mr.. Joy determined to fathom the secret
and copying all the prescriptions he had filled for
the erratic doctor, he began systematic analysis.
In his examination he discovered running all
through the prescriptions for liver and kidney
troubles, vitiated blood and stomach disorders q
couple of vegetable extracts indigenous to Calfor-
MIA, so simple and SO we'll known under homely
every day pames to every school boy to entirely
dissipate the suspicion that they were the active
Mr.. Joy that he had discovered the secret that he
embodied the new elements in a preparation of
Sarsaparia to disguise the TASTE and putt before
his customers under the modest name of Joys
vegetable Sarsapapilla. Immediately the sane
marvellous stories came back of its astonishing
effects, and the mystery was solved, and the talk
1t has created has already caused 1t to step into
over the coast. People seem to be taking it and
writing and talking about 1t throughout the State
And thus another California industry leans into
existence.--S. F. Eraminer

Excursion TO Fruto.

Easton, Eldridge IL Co., real es ate agents
and general auctioneers. advertise this
morning a grand excursion for Saturday
next to Fruto, place about fifteen miles
west of Willows, on the West Side and
Mendocino Railroad. Fruto valley is said
to be the coming rival for early fruit al
vegetables to the renowned Vaca valley
district. By order of the Pacific Improve
ment Company 200 choice town lots will be
sold in the immediate neighborhood of the
depot.
Fruto, from its location, being the termi-
nus of the West Side and Mendocino Rail-
road, and located in the midst of a valley
of large area, and in an early belt of rich
and warm land. must become the CONNER
cial center of the western part of Colusa
county. An investment here must pay a
very large rate of increase within a very
brief period of time. Also, fifty small and
early fruit farms, from q and varied sizes
to SO acres. These choice small and early
fruit and vegetable farms adjoin the town
of Fruto, are located in the valley of that
name, and this location is certainly one of
wondrous richness and of very early soil.
1t will certainly become the rival for early
fruit and vegetable of the renowned Vaca
valley district. This valley is protected
from the cold north winds by ridge of fine
rolling hills, and at the same time the soil
is exposed 10 the early spring sun, which
warns the soil into a warmth that makes
the face of nature smile in all its lovelint SIS,
and compensates the tiller of this soil with
profit that astonishes even the old settler,
who now raises early vegetables for the
large markets of the central and southern
parts of this State. Basket collation. on the

There ia Many a slim.

In legal, as in other matters, the adage,
+" There is many slip twixt the cup and
the lip" applies, as was evidenced by a
probate proceeding recently had in Ala
media county affecting the sale of a lot
formerly owned by DR.. Tozer on the south
west corner OF Oak avenue and Sixth
street, in this city. The lot had been or
dered sold by the Superior Court of Ala
media county as the property of Charles
Tozer, minor. AT that sale B. u. Stein
man was the highest bidder, and 10 him it
was awarded. subject to confirmation BY
the Court The guardian made return of
the sale, and on the day it came up for
hearing Mrs. G. Joseph appeared in the
Court and filed q bid in writing of ten per
cent. more than Steinman's bid. No one
was present TO represent Steinman, and, he
not offering any more, the sale was con.
frmed TO Mrs. Joseph, and the order con-
firrning the sale was recorded here on the
2lst ult. Sfeinmau was not satisfied, and
through his attorney. r. T. Deyiin, at
tempted TO have the order set aside and the
bids reopened. The matter came I'D at
Oakland last Monday Mrs Joseph ap-
peared by her attorneys, Maurice Grad
wohl and Isaac Joseph. and the estate of
the minor was represented by George E.

the matter. the Court, Judge n Hamilton
presiding, decided that it had no iurisdic-
ton to reopen the matter, and yesterday

Baseball Rivalry.

In the advertising columns of the
RECORD UNION to-day is published chal-
lenge from the Alta Baseball Club to the
Kinks, of Woodland, for a game of base
ball for $50 aside and all gate money minus
expenses. Since the opening of the Cen
trail California League the greatest rivalry
has existed between these two teams, and
whenever they met the game was always a
most exciting one. The Kinks made a
desperate effort to capture the pennant, and
after securing a delegation of fine players
from the bay city succeeded in gaining the
coveted prize. The Atlas, thinking they
were not fairly dealt with, now retalia'e by
challenging the Kinks, providing they play
their regular members, all San Francisco
men being barred. They will be allowed
their battery of Knell and Thomma. A
deposit of $50 has been placed in the
RECORD UNION Office for the Kinks to cover
if they think they can defeat the Atlas
without the aid of San Francisco players.

st. Paups Church Benefit.

The benefit performance for the Improve
ment Fund of St. Paul's Church, drew a
full house at the Metropolitan Theater last
night, and proved financial success. The
audience was representative one, and in
several respects an unusual one, many peo-
pie attending who seldom or never visit
the theater to witness entertainments by
professionals. The play was Coyne's com
edy, Eyerybodys Friend The parts
were taken by Mrs E. w. Hale, Miss Pink
Cosby, Miss Eta Birdsall, Miss Grace
Hatch, Mrs. e. A. Bower, Prof W. H.
Raymond, Theodore Miliiken, R. B. Oulla-
han, c. NJ. Prodger, G. w. Shannon and W.
E. Loydal. The stage direction was by
Charles Haywood, of San Francisco, and
was competent. Mrs. Bainbridge presided
at the piano for the songs of Miss
Hatch. The stage setting was elabor-
ate and very handsome. 1t is seldom
that interior scenes are put on the
stage so well, and never with SO great atten-
ton given to details. The gas-lighted ante
chamber to the ballroom in the last act
was especially fine. Evidently the little
company of amateurs had labored long and
patiently upon the comedy, and the result
of the patient effort was an evenly
pleasing performance. The waits u
between acts were too long, but with the
elaborate stage setting and the dressing by
amateurs, could not probably have been
much shortened. The ladies and gentle
men in the cast volunteered to aid a wor-
thy cause.ss and, being amateurs, each de-
serves to be exempt from critical examina-
ton of their manner of interpreting the
text of the play. The audience showed its
apr ciation by warm applause and recalls
