Clunie Opera House

The Opera House was filled to lis full ca
pacity last night and from the balcony sec
ton many were turned away because of in
ability to furnish seats. The Reilly-Woods
troupe gives varied and interesting per-
Torrance. Notably good is the Nelson
family of acrobats-among the very best
ever seen here; the music i quartet, How
ard Russell. Seeey and Talbert, in instru-
mental oddities Mile. Forg8rdus with a
flock of trained birds; Pat Reilly. rapid
crayon landscape painting; Adele Wilson,
as globe runner, and especially fine was
Pitrol, German mimic, whose ability
to mold his features enables him to
present, with the aid of wigs. many
living pictures "a little exaggerated
of noted men of Europe. In an original
Ethiopian act Tierney and Wayne pro-
voked much laughter, but vulgar remark
by one of the two received the rebuke of
silence-the audience would have been
justified in pronounced protest. Reilly,
as an Irish character actor, is too clever,
versatile and capable to indulge in so extrav-
agant caricature; he overdoes in make up
and dialect, and at times is suggestively
bold. The classical posing by eight men
and boys as gladiators was good, and the
skill of Grove with a drum-major's wand
would throw most of that pompous brother
hood into fit of envy. Florence Miller
was but passable as a music-hall balladist
but very clever in the farce with which the
performance closed. The troupe appears
again tonight

A Matter That Needs Attention.

Every large assembly hall, and especially
every theater, ought to be provided upon
its stage with hydrants-two or more
with hose attached. 1t is a precaution en-
forced in cities, as rule. In many East
ern municipalities it is required that, be-
sides the stage hydrants, there shall be
large one, with fire-hose attached, in the
auditorium-and it is generally near the
orchestra, and so arranged that q single
turn of the attached wrench will open it.
The Metropolitan Theater has two two
inch hydrants, with hose attached, upon
the stage and ready for instant use 1t
developed last night that the owner of the
Clunie Opera House has not taken even
that precautiop, and no one in authority
has required it. The Opera House was
packed with people lsst night. Just before
the time for the curtain TO go up light
back ground curtain belonging to the
Reilly Woods Troupe, was being boisted
into place when by some mishap, said to
be the blowing out of a lava-tip in the
border lights, the curtain took fire. 1t was
at once lowered and the fire extinguished
with buckets of water, aud all agree that
the stage hands are to be commended for
their promptness and efficiency A rock
setting, the drop that first took fire. and
several of the border strips were destroyed
and the stage space filled with smoke.
Fire buckets are provided for the stage, but
the response TO inquiry was that but few of
them were found filed with water. The
officials whose duty it is should see to It
that provision is made by the owner of the
property, or whoever is responsible, for
better means to extiDguish fire in the build
| ing.

A Comedian in Trouble.

Yesterday morning Chief of Police Lee
received telegram from Chief Crowley, of
San Francisco, requesting him to arrest
John Kernel, who was on the East-bound
overland train. Kernel is the well known
Irish comedian, and was billed to appear
in this city last night When the train ar
rlved at the depot officers Arlington and
Rider boarded it, and found Kernell in a
sleeping-car, sound asleep. He was evil
IDENTIFY sleeping Oft the effects of liquor.
He claimed that he did not know what he
was arrested for. On his person was found
$ll9 80, sleeping-car ticket to Ogden, and
q cheap watch-cjain, to which hung a
matchbox, besides some beer-saloon cards
and a few letters. He bad with him a
gold-headed cane, on which appeared the
inscription TO John Kernell by his
friends in Monterey, December IA, 1887"
Last evening officer O'Linsky came up
from San Francisco after the prisoner,
when it was learned that the arrest was
made on the complaint of Ned Foster,
of the Bella Union Theater. 1t is said that
Kernel has been on a protracted spree
and incurred wine bills at the Bella
Union and other places He signed a
contract with Ned Foster to play three or
four weeks at the Bella Union, and
1t is thought that when he sobered up
sufficiently 10 comprehend the result of his
appearing at sucn a place, he decided to
break his contract and return to Philadel-
phia, where his wife is residing, and where
he is said to have a good round bank ac-
count. His arrest probably grew out of
this breach Of contract.

The Surplus Has Disappeared.

just to think that after all this
noise and lurid speeches, after these
months of skipping about in the
shadows with dark lantern to
evade inquiry. after all Mr.. Cleve-
lands ponderous wisdom about it
being "a condition and not theory
that confronts us"-after all this,
there isn't going to be any surplus,
anyhow According to the Presi-
dent. millions on millions were be
ing piled up in the Treasury at the
rate of II million n EEK, and we are
all being ruined through the Cos
tom House. Now. when the Dem
ocratic Congress has got well along
in its work of spending the public
treasures it appears that the surplus
will be only about twelve millions,
which if the Mills bill were to bo
passed and to result in its operation
as its advocates say it will. must b,
turned into II deficit of sixty millions
This is dreadful situation. 1t calls
up Mr.. Mills to ask the house to
Withdraw his bill. He has been leg
islating to meet II condition, and il
turns out to be only theory. Tn,
capacity of the Democratic party tC
scatter the public money was not
taken into account.
