the appointment of a Keeper of Archives
S. 3. 362, increasing the force of gardeners
in the State Capitol Park and the the bill
providing for the pay of an extra clerk in

Metropolitan Theater.

Tonight Sol Smith Russell in his new
drama, an intermingling of pathos and
mirth, with smiles and tears, laughter and
pity treading upon each others heels. "a
Poor Relation" is uniformly commended
by the San Francisco press with warmth
and enthusiasm, not SO much for the play
as for the art of the comedian, upon whom,
In reality, it depends for its success. Sol
Smith Russell is in many respects re-
markable actor: there are none who have
such skill in assuming facial expression;
be is naturally wit and his humor is OF
that free, bubbling and hmpid quality that
captures audiences with the least possible
apparent effort on his part to do so. 1t will
be surprising indeed, if the theater is not
flied tonight, in view of the high praise
that has heraided the coming of Mr.. Rus
sell. who. in the far less effective comedy
drama 'Pa, two years ago became so great

No Place to Live.

1t is said that Governor Waterman in
tends removing with his family to Oak
land or San Francisco on the LIST of May.
The lease of the property now occupied by
him expires at that time, and as the Legis-
latnre refused to pass the bill providing
for the purchase OF Governors mansion
the Governor finds himself without hab-
italion in this city. 1t is alleged that a
prominent Sacramentan was responsible
for the defeat of the bill, and if so be will
receive something besides the blessings of
the people of this city.

TRIED TO ESCAPE.
James Kearney Takes Desperate Chances
for Liberty

for Liberty.
James Kearney was brought before Judge
Armstrong yesterday for sentence, having
pleaded guilty to the crime of burglary,
in entering the store of NJ. L. & T. L. Per-
kins. He had been up for sentence once
before, and the Court had decided to ex-
anime into the case further, on the pris-
oner's statement that it was his first crime.
In the meantime George W. Smith, the
baggagemaster at the depot, had been SUBJ
penaed, and yesterday testified that Kear-
ney had stolen yaiise from the baggage
room at the depot. He fully identified
the prisoner. The latter stoutly denied
stealing the valise, and Judge Armstrong
concluded 10 still further investigate before
pronouncing sentence. He ordered the
prisoner returned to his CELL Sheriff Nc
Mullen motioned to Kearney, and he got
up promptly and passed the Sheriff toward
the Courtroom door and into the hallway.
The moment he reached the corridor he
made a dash for the front exit of the
Court house Sheriff McMullen called
loudly on him 10 halt, but he paid
no attention to the order. He fairly leaped
down the granite steps and was on the
sidewalk with bound. Just as the flying
prisoner reached the sidewalk, McMullen,
who had already drawn his pistol, yelled
stop Stop" but Kesrney gave no heed
10 the warning. The Sheriff then fired
over the head of the retreating burglar, but
the crack of the weapon only served to in
crease his speed. AT every bound McMul-
len kept repeating his orders to stop.
Kearney had got well into Seventh street,
when the sheriff again fred. The prisoner
ran rapidly across Seventh street diagonally
towards ]. just before he reached the
curbing third shot was fred at him, but
he kept on his way. liberty ahead being a
stronger impetus than the fear of death be-
hind could conquer. 1t was impossible to
use a pistol after Kearney reached the Sew
enth-street walk. because of the people
passing along. Kearney continued his race
until he was about 10 turn into J street,
when q citizen, attracted by the shouting
of the Sheriff, stopped the thief and held
him captive until McMullen came up
Kearney was taken back 10 the Jail and
locked up, being followed as far as the
Sheriff's Office by crowd.

THE MELANCHOLY DAYS.
ADAPTED FROM BRYANT.)

iADAFIED fROh
The melancholy days have come, the saddest
of the year;
OF cleaning paint and scrubbing floors and
securing far and near.
Heiped in the corners of the room, the an
cient dirt lay quiet:
Nor rose up at the fathers tread, nor at the
childrens riot.
But now the carpets are all up, and from the
staircase top
The mistress calls to man and maid to WELD
the broom and mop.
And now when comes the master home, as
come he must O. nights,
To find all things are set to wrongs that they
have set to rights;
VIII n sound of driving tacks is heard, the
rooms strange echoes fill;
And the carpet woman on the stairs that
harbinger of i'll,
He looks for papers, books and bills that all
were there before,
And signs to find them on the desk and In
the dI awers no more.
And then he grimly thinks of her who set
this fuss af1oat,
And wishes she were out at sea In very
leaky boat.
He meets her at the parlor door with hair
and cap awry,
With sleeves tucked up, and broom IN hano,
defiance in her eye.
He teels quite small, and knows 1ul wen
there s nothing to be said;
He holds his tongue, and drinks nus tea' snu
sneaks away to bed.
