Two Fair Young Ladies Beflttingly
Mathematical

The entertainpent given last night by
MIR. and Mrs. D.lII. Poston, at their resi-
dence on Vance street, was in every sense
worthy OF the two charming young ladies'
in whose honor Il was held-Miss Houston
Schwrarr and Miss Tennie Page, Of New
Orleans, were the young ladies thus COM
plimented, and the crowd OF society peo-
pie who gathered were keenly alive to the
enjoyments Of tho occasion. Evergeens
and potted plantswere in profusion, both
below and above stairs, and 1t was in the
latter place that the tete-a tete couples
gathered. In the diningroom the flowers
were beautiful and artistic; from
the. chandelier was suspended q floral
bird cage composed OF smilax with bars OF
alternate pink and white azaleas, from
which hung the letter @ in double violets.
On the table great bank Of flowers bear
ing the initials NJ. II. S., was placed and
much admired. During the evening an
orchestra rendered delightful selections to
which the gay chatter Of the guests kept
time. Mrs, Poston, In handsome gown
OF garnet velvet, was assisted in receiving
by the two young hostesses. Miss Schwrarr
wore white silk and illusion and Miss Cage,
a perfect blonde, was in handsome gown
OF pale blue silk and white lace. The fol-

SECRET SESSIONS OF THE SENATE
There has grown up around the United
States Senate body OF custom and privil.
ege that makes OF it sometimes an
Extensively aistocratic and prctentious
body. This is nothing made so apparent
as in the secret sessions that are still in
dulged In the consideration Of the public
business. There is an amount OF as
sumption in this that would be
ridiculous were II not serious.
There is nothing in the clauses Of the Con-
stitution creating the Senate that justifes
secrecy in the transaction Of the bust
ness that is brought before IL. On the
contrary the tenor OF that instrument and
the genius OF the government are opposed
to 1t. Why, for instance, should the SEN
ate consider a treaty in secret. Like
bill, IL is on It's passage, when Il Is before
that body and when approved and
proclaimed by the President, is Of
rs binding force upon all the citizens
as any law Of the land. Its consideration
should therefore be open and above
board and without concealment. In that
way the treaty with Great Britain, which
has been hung up in the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, has been treated, and yet
IL did and may yet contain clause that
would put the lives and liberties Of hun
drcds Of 1rlshmcn at the mercy Of the
Salisbury Ministry, and make their ex-
tradition as easy rs the service Of
bench warrant. There are many Repub-
lican Senators who "have no use for the
Irish," many of whom like Blaine were
bcfouled by the faint Of Know-nothingism.
They would gladly demoralize the Irish
vote by the approval Of q treaty that II II
had been drawn up in Downing street
could not hasebeen more English than il
ives when first brought TO the consldcra-
ton Of the Senate. The country
cannot forget the nunkeyism and
toadyism Of lis Republican representatives
at the Court OF st. James, their super
serviceableness where the poor Irish were
concerned in their struggle with usurping
and dcspotic government; nor can II for.
get that Senator Edinunds, as cold blooded
as one Of the cod over which his constitu-
cnts are struggling with the hyperborcans
Of Nova Scotia--it cannot forget that he
has not even the virtue Of pretending 10
sympathizo with the. Irish people
rs Blaine does when he Is at Bar
lIarbor and is separated by the Atlantic
from his friend, II. Il. II. But this aside,
the time TO abolish secret sessions Of the
Senate has come. The public business
concerns the whole public and should be
transacted with open doors, and every
treaty like every act Of Congress, and be-
cause itisii approved by the Senate to have
the force Of law, should be debated In pub
lie that the people may see and know what
they are agreeing 10, what they are con.
scnting TO through their servants. As for

POLICE COURT D0INGs.

Gases Which Were Disposed of by Judge
Buckley Yesterday.
In the Police Court, Yesterday morning.
K. D. Cooper was sentenced on four
charges. For being drunk he was ordered
to pay a fine of $5; ON each of two charges
OF disturbing the peace be was fined $40,
and for being common drunkard he was
sentenced to ninety days imprisonment in
the County Jail. The commitment in the
latter case was withheld on the understand
ing that Cooper should leave the CITY at
once. Judge Buckley stated that he dealt
thus leniently with the defendant solely
on account of his relatives, and not be-
cause he was entitled to any consideration
on his own account.
William Schmidt, the boy who stole q
watch and diamond from S. Looryea's
store, On Second street, was arraigned on a
charge OF burglary. On motion OF the Citv
Attorney the charge was reduced to petit
larceny, and E. G. Hart, attorney for de-
fendant, pleaded guilty to this charge for
him. This course was taken on account of
the extreme youth of the prisoner, the fact
that 1t vas his first offense and that he be-
longed to q respectable family. The watch

Metropolitan Theater.

The Emma Abbott Opera Company com
pletes its fourth week in San Francisco this
week-a phenomenal run-plays one night
each in Oakland and San Jose, and comes
to Sacramento on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of next week, the longest
stay made in any interior city. Here it
will present Marchetti's beautiful opera,
"Ruy Bias" the London success, and in
which the prima donna finds, it is said, her
most congenial role, as Maria Theresa. She
is the only artist who has sung it in Eng
lish. " Tarviata " for the second evening.
and for the third, Gilbert & Sullivan's new
creation, " Yeomen of the Guard" 1t is
scarcely necessary to more than announce
Emma Abbott, since she is so Justly popu-
lar here. She is not among the greatest of
singers, but few, if any, have done more to
cultivate taste for enjoyable music or to
give the general public rational enjoyment
OF English opera. Her company is repre-
sented as larger and stronger than ever be-
fore, and carries this time a full orchestra.
With her are Lizzie Annandale, fine con-
tralto, widely and well known; the new
and successful young singer, Mira Bertini :;
the Spanish second tenor, Michelena, who
has won high praise for his vocal power
and management; Pruette, baritone Brod-
erick, the basso, long and well known here,
and Walter Allen, one of the best singing
comedians on the stage. Carl Martens,
who was here the last opera season, still is
director of the company. The sale of seats
opens on Monday at 81 and so cents, and
81 80 for reserved seats.

A CALIFORNIA SENSATION.

Itisreported that the sales OF the ''California
Remedy" joys Vegetable sarsaparilla, have
grown within few months till they are now
really sensational The way the fame of this
production has spread is simply marvellous.
Six months ago it was unknown. To-day it
is all over the country. 1t is authoritatively
stated that they have been actually giving it
away in San Francisco to people afflicted with
dyspepsia, sick headaches, indigestion and
liver troubles, not to be paid for unless it
cured. Such practical tests are so startlingly
convincing as to be almost sensational. 1t is
stated that two OF the active principles OF the
new remedy belong to the vegetable kingdom
of California and are so well known to us all
under common names that it would surprise
us If told them. But we are not surprised at
anything Californian, and this recent discov-
cry of the new medicinal virtues of its vegeta-
BILE kingdom is but another instance of the
astonishing possibilities OF a soil and climate
like ours.
