Arrested for EmbezzIement.

On the 2Sth of March George Schultz
borrowed valuable gun at the store of
VIM. Eberhardt for the alleged purpose of
participating in a shooting match at the
Union House, giving the name of White.
The gun was not returned, and inquiry for
the man who borrowed it failed to discover
bis whereabouts. Chief Lee had informa-
ton that the man had gone to a certain
place on Long Island, New York, and
wrote to an officer there in regard to him,
but received no answer. It now appears
that the man went over into Yolo county
and has since been working for rancher
who lives near Woodland. Yesterday be
was seen in the city by Jacob Korn, of the
Union House, who took him into Mr..
Eberhardts place, when the latter con-
Quoted him to the station-house and swore
to a complaint charging him with enbez-
Element. Schultz admits that he bor-
rowed the gun, but claims that he took it
back to the store and left it on the counter.

Death OF E1-JustIce Haines.

Gabriel Haines, who was for nearly
twenty years Justice Of the Peace in this
city, died yesterday morning at the resi-
dence of Constable Frank Swift, where he
has lived for many years. Deceased was
born in Germany in 1914, emigrated to
America in 1886 and located in Wiscon-
sin. He came to California in 1851 and for
nine years conducted business for himself.
At the election in 1861 Mr.. Haiues vas
elected Justice of the Peace for Sacra-
mento City and held the office for two
years. He was elected again in 1866 and
served until 1870. In 1872 he was again
elected TO the same office and held il al
most continuously from that time up TO
the last election.
Ex-Justice Haines often presided in the
Police Court during the temporary alb
sence of judges who have occupied the
position of Police Judge, and when that
Court opened yesterday morning, Justice
c. n. Pest feelingiy alluded to his death,
and paid tribute TO his worth. Remarks
were also made By ex-Poiice Judge w. A.
Henry, ex-City Attorney Hart, City Attor-
ney Church and Judge Buckley and when
the Court adjourned it did so out of respect
tor the memory of the deceased.
Deceased was a member of Washington
Lodge, No. 20; Sacramento Chapter, No 3,
and Sacramento Council No l, F. and A. NJ .
His funeral will take place from his late
residence, $40 NJ street, at o'clock this af-
ternoon, under The direction of Washington
Lodge

An Amateur Entertainment.

An amateur entertainment was given at
the Metropolitan Theater last evening by
a number OF ladies and gentlemen who
were under the tutorship of Professor H.
c. Eastman, the elocutionist. Without ex-
plicit knowledge of their previous acquire
ments, still 1t was evident that they had
benefited III greater or less degree by elo-
cutionary teaching and vocal culture. We
cannot but think that it was a mistake to
give them the task of presenting so difficult
a comedy as Pygmalion and Galatea."
Every character in it is susceptible of so
many and sharply different standings, and
the play has been given by so many highly
skilled artists, that to enter upon any criti-
cism that will not present the amateurs
in contrast with these and preconceiyed
conceptions of proper rendering of the text,
would be difficult and repugnant Amateur
dramatic perform ances are better left to
stand aside as distinct from the drama
in the majority OF cases. They have their
value, and it is high one in serving to
illustrate how difficult, lsborious and
meritorious is the work of the acceptable
professional. The drama is an edged tool,
and save in rare cases, best handled when
handled least by the unsailled. Consid-
cred, however, purely from the amateur
standpoint and as an entertainment illus
tratire of immature conceptions of right
methods of Interpretation, it is to be said
the chief interest last evening centered in
the effort of Mrs. 3. U. Steinman
as Gslatea. The lady is a reader of
10 small ability, and is self-possessed
That she made the part altogether too SER
GUS work, and invested it with too solemn a
character, is to say that she wholly lacked
the vivacity, simplicity, nasuraness, in
sepsrable from the innocence of the vivi-
fled marble. Nevertheless despite the in
toDing of her sentences, she reads with an
earnestness that in pure pathos would be
quite effective. She had reason to he graft
fled at the great abundance of rich floral
testimonials offered, and the warmth
of the applause of a host of cordial
friends in the audience. J. F. Logue
was Pygmalion. Vim. Haley Leucippe,
Miss Cora Clark Cynisca; Miss Belle Star
gel, Daphne; Miss Fannie P. Cravens, My
rine, and f. w. Cuthbert, Chrysos The
ladies were more at home in text and &C
ton than the gentleman. In an after
piece, broad buriesque on the Lady of
Lyons" J. +. Parsons, J. f. Sheehan, J. A.
Rutherford, j. II. Younger. F. w. Cuth-
bert, J. NJ. Anderson, w G. Randall, Z. NJ
Lynn and G. A. Bower filled the parts
Anderson, Parsons, Randall and Lynn
gave evidence of considerable mimetic
ability, but the piece afforded no opportu-
nifty to judge of their ability to read text
worth the hearing.
