ONLY A MAKE-SHIFT.

The Trustees to Give the Old Water
Works Building Another Trial.
The City Trustees have directed that the
Police Court be taken back to its old quar-
tiers under the water-tank, on the assump.
ton that the building is now safe. 1t may
hold together until next winters rains fill
the river bsnk-full, when the sipage water
will again change the foundation from solid
earth to the consistency ofpu6ding. Every
body knows that when the river is full the
slpage water spreads even to the farther
most limits of the city; and, as the old Civ
Hall is located within q few wards OF the
river, it stands to reason that there is little
or no solidity to the soil beneath it when
saturated with water.
The river has now fallen to its normal low
water stage, and the ground has dried out
hence there is not noticed the daily spread
ing and settling of the walls that was so ap-
parent couple of months ago, when the
water was high. Admitting, therefore, the
possibility that the building-even with
the tank filled with waterway Withstand
the pressure upon it for six or eight months
longer, it would seem to be wisdom on the
part OF the Trustees to set about, in the
meantime, the work of providing for the
future; for, just as surely as the river rises
again and soaks the ground with water,
just so surely will the old ruins resume
their alarming antics. The present occu-
pancy of the building can be regarded as
only temporary, at best, and now would be
an excellent time to make provision for
the future.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Alf. Hayman, of the Baldwin Theater,
San Francisco, came to the city last even
ing. He is arranging for the appearance
here Monday and Tuesday evenings of the
celebrated Lyceum Theater Company.
which stands probably at the head of
dramatic organizations in America. 1t
played last year six weeks in San Fran
cisco to crowded houses, and have lust
closed five weeks engagement at the
Baldwin, producing the same plays
mainly 1t first gave, such was the demand
Tor repetition. 1t is estimated to be the
costliest and best-balanced company in the
country. In this city the venture is to be
made of playing two nights, presenting
The Wife" on Monday night and Sweet
Lavender" on Tuesday. The first piece
ran 400 nights in New York and
the second $50 nights. The company
consists of twenty-five people and carries
its own stage fittings complete. There has
been so much of the ordinary, so much of
the trashy, and so much of the worthless
seen upon the stage, that it is refreshing 10
have talented, legitimate and refined dra-
matte performance occasionally. Mr.. Hay
man says the pieces will be given here
with just as much completeness as at the
Baldwin, and with the same cast; no detail
whatever being omitted, and faithfulness
and excellence here being preserved as in
San Francisco and New York. The prices
will be the same as charged the entire five
weeks in San Francisco, though he insists
that it costs more to produce the pieces
here, as the troupe if pushed through to
Chicago would get no salary, while by
playing two nights here and two in Salt
Lake, it secures full weeks salary. He
makes as.direct appeal for the support of the
effort in behalf of the legitimate, and this
journal is so convinced of its worthiness
that it accords this publicity to his state
ments

age of Redding into the Sacramento river
was brought up by Mayor Gregory, and
Trustee Wolf thought that the sewage
could be handled by the catfish. Sacra-
mento might also want the privilege of
throwing her sewage into the river. and he
thought it might not be wise to make a
row about it.
Mayor Gregory suggested that it might
not be so bad if Redding would run only
liquid sewage into the river.
The discussion was reaching a rather I'M
pleasant point for dinner appetizer, and
was dropped.
THE SILENT HORSE.
The Mayor said that complaints were
constantly coming III against the running
of bicycles on the sidewalks, and the City
Attorney was instructed to prepare an ordi-
nance against the practice.
THE POOR PoUNDMAsTER.
This official has hardly had time to
warm his official chair, and yet complaints
are being made against him. He is even
charged with stealing cattle. The Board
seemed to have come to the conclusion
that these things are a matter of course,
and no action was taken on the complaints.

THEY WILL RUILn

The Board of Education Authorized to
Erect the Proposed New School.
Al the special meeting Of the City Trus-
tees yesterday afternoon, held to confer
with the members of the City Board of Ed
ucation in regard to the proposed purchase
of lot and The erection of building
thereon for grammar and primary school,
all the members of the School Board were
present except Director DAVIS.
Superintendent Beard stated that the
members of the Board of Education were
present to answer any questions that the
Trustees might wish 10 ask in regard to
the matter under consideration, as to the
purchase price of the lot, the cost of the
building, its necessity, etc.
Mayor Gregory desired to know if the
Board had the necessary funds with which
to go ahead, and if there existed real ne
cessity for the proposed new building.
MIR. Beard replied that the Board had
the money required, and that the building
was an absolute necessity--not only to &C
commodate the children of the eastern por-
ton of the city, which was growing rapidly,
but also to relieve the crowded condition
of the schools at Sixteenth and ], Sixteenth
and n, and Twenty-seyenth and ] streets.
President Todd of the Board of Educa-
ton addressed the Trustees on the subject.
He referred to the rapidly growing condi-
ton of the eastern portion of the CITY.
which demanded better school facilities:
also 10 the fact that the uptown schools
were overcrowded, and stated that there
could be no question of the necessity for
another BUILDING. The members Ct the
School Board had carefully considered the
matter, and saw their way clear to accom-
pllsh the desired end if the Trustees would
give their consent.
Director Martin also spoke at some
length, reviewing the situation and pre-
sentlng strong arguments in favor OF the
granting of the permission asked.
After hearing the statements of the
members of the Board of Education, the
Trustees unanimously granted the desired
permission to proceed with the work.
As the School Directors were leaving,
the matter of the transfer of the Perry
Seminary building to the city was brought
up, and an informal discussion on the sub
ject ensued. Directors Hopley, Chapman
and others spoke on the subject, and the
remarks showed that most of the School
Directors were opposed to transferring the
property to the city, as the time might
come when its money value would be
needed by the School Department. The
building itself is not adapted tc school pur-
poses, but it represents money value that
may come in very handily some day. For
the present 1t is being used for the night
school and day primary class.

THAT UBIQUITOUS RECORD.
1t Bobs Up Again and Sends George Tia.
l0I tn EnlSarn

1t Bobs Up Again and Sends George Tay-
Tor to Folsom.
A couple of weeks ago an individual
named George Taylor was examined in the
Police Court on q charge of ENLIGHTENMENT,
having hired a phseton from livery stable
and af.erward sold it to another party.
Taylor told piteous story to Judge Buck
ley. assuring the latter that this was his
first public offense, that he was drunk at
the time, etc., and the story would no doubt
have worked we'll had not Chief Lee pro-
duced the records showing Taylor to be
an accomplished thief who had served
numerous terms in numerous prisons-for
numerous offenses. Judge Buckley held
Taylor to answer.
Taylor appeared before Superior Judge
Armstrong yesterday for trial. He sized
the Judge up pretty thoroughly, and then
believing him splendid subject upon
which to work the sympathy business, he
announced that he would plead guilty to
the charge
The Judge smiled benevolently as he
accepted the prisoners pea, and Taylor
smiled triumphantly over his success.
When the proper time arrived for the
passing of sentence, the Judge smilingly
and kindly asked Taylor if he had any
thing to say why the judgment of the law
should not be passed upon him.
This was Taylor's opportunity. He
quickly adjusted his countenance and re-
peated the tale of woe which had worked
so unsuccessfully in the Police Court.
Chief Lee was not there this time; but,
alas, for Taylor's hopes, that official had
been closeted with his Honor previous to
the opening of the Court
When the sad story was finished, and
Taylor had resumed his seat, congratulate
ing himself over his apparent success in
securing light sentence, the Judge quietly
picked up sheet of paper and began to
read. 1t was Taylor's record.
The prisoners eyes bulged and his teeth
began to chatter "Oh, Lord I'm done
for" he was heard to mutter
The Judge concluded his remarks with
the announcement that for the next ten
years Taylor would be boarded and lodged
by the State at that popular summer re.
sort, Folsom.
Taylor has not recovered from the shock
yet.

Annual Brigade Muster.

The annual inspection and muster of the
city companies of the First Artillery Regi-
ment and the band took place at the
armory last night, and though nothing in
the way of diillipg was attempted, there
was quite large attendance of spectators
in the galleries. Every one of the compa-
MES turned out in goodly numbers, es-
pecially A and g, and many enlisted men
were presentwho seldom or never appear at
weekly drills. Out OF roll of fitty-eight
members, Company G turned out t1fty-
three-two being absent and three out of
town. The Fourth Brigade staff was pres
ent almost to a man, and the inspection
passed off very smoothly. Majors RYAN,
Sherburn. Leake, White Houghton and
Captain Long, of the brigade staff, in
spected the arms, clothing and accoutre-
ments and will report upon their condition.

many shady financial transactions, includ-

which it transpired had been paid out of
her own money, by Nine. Lafarge, in
order to save her husbands honor. Bar
bier, the German lawyers thought, might
have poisoned his master, first that he
might rob him, and next that he might
be reyenged on Nine. Lafrrge, whom he
hated. The unhappy woman was COM
passionately treated in prison. She was
not put to hard labor, and was allowed
to write and to publish her Memoirs"
work of considerable literary ability,
but which was naturally heightened
vindication of her conduct, and a reiter-
ated declaration of her innocence. After
twelve years of captivity she was par
doned by the Emperor Napoleon Ill,
and died shortly afterwards, of sheer ex-
haustion, at the baths of Ussat. She had
only reached her thirty. seventh year. AS
regards the diamonds of Nine de Leo

most Platonic relations with her pseudo
Italian admirer, the secret of that trans
action remains to this day as inscrutable
