The life and times of Gambetta consti-
tute the most stirring chapter in the his
tory of the most brilliant nation of Europe,
and this is the subject of one OF the gifted
orators of the American lecture platform at
the Congregational Church tonight. Leon
Gambetta was an idol. From his mother,
a woman of Jewish descent, he derived the
qualities which France adored. When the
boy accidentally lost the sight of an eye
the mother said Now for the seminary"
The father said Into the shop" and of
course young Leon went to the seminary.
France, in those days was in a ferment.
When was she not? Leon was heart and
soul with the popular cause. One Friday
morning he mounted bench in the school
grounds and delivered a fiery harangue.
The principal of the seminary was alarmed.
The parents were called to take home the
impetuous boy. He now tried to be a
grocer. with his father. He became rest
less. discontinued and miserable. Then
the ar-seeing. great-hearted mother called
him to one side, and said: Here is q
purse of money. Your clothes are packed.
Take this and slip away TO Paris. Do not
quarrel with your father, but go at once. F"
Thereafter his career was never checked,
growing at last into the career of the tenn
pest. and so ending. But. however wild
or high his sweep, he carried with him his
beloved France. The most conspicuous
figure in the reorganization of that Gov
eminent, after the fall of the second Ma
poleon, he is the exponent of all that is
most essentially French in politics and
society. To know Gambetta is to know
France. An evening cannot be more de-
lightfully or lnstructively spent than with
the great Frenchman and Mr.. Armstrong
at the Congregational Church tonight.
The entertainment will be the second in
the course given by the Sacramento Lee
ture Association, and tickets can be had al

THE LOAN EXHIBITION.
An Address to sacramentans by Il
Ladies,

An Address to sacramentans by the
Ladies.
For three months the Ladies' Museum
Association, an organization, the member
ship of which exceeds 100 of best-known
ladies of Sacramento, has been engaged in
arranging details for loan exhibition of
fine arts and curios, to be held at the city's
L. B. Croker Art Gallery. The object is
to aid the California Museum Association
in its general purposes, which has not
called upon the public for aid for four
years. The ladies have made several trips
TO San Francisco, and secured the loan of
some very rare and valuable works of art,
antiques, curios and choice goods. The ex-
hlbltion involves a great expense and much
responsibility and labor. This morning a
subcommittee, consisting of Mrs. Mayor
Gregory, Miss Helen Waterman and Mrs.
George w. Jackson, publish an address to
the people of Sacramento, soliciting re-
sponses by postal card on or before Thurs
day. They ask loans from the people of
Sacramento of articles that will add to the
| attracdveness and interest of the exhibit
ton. There are many households in the
city where there are fine art treasures and
rare curiosities, the loan of which will
greatly add to the exhibition and which will
be even safer in the Art Gallery for
few days than in the houses of their pos
SCISSORS, as the building is fire proof and
under constant watch day and night. The
ladies do not desire great mass of "odd
things" but works of notable merit and
curiosities of special historical importance.
When the responses are received commit
tees will call and ascertain the fitness of the
proffers. A strong appeal is made, as will
be found by reading the appeal. The exhi-
bition is to open on the 18th inst, day and
evening, and be supplemented by fine
evening entertainments. The Art Gallery
is to be lighted at night by electricity, and
arrangements are TO be made for line of
conVeyances between the gallery and street
cars while the exhibition is open.

Clunie Opera House.

Miss KATE Mayhem began an engagement
last evening, opening with the fine old
comedy The Jealous Wife, This class
of old standard comedies has been so in
frequently played here in the last fifteen
years, that to the audiences OF to-day they
are strange, and come up out of thepast as
relics of antiquity. But they are so SUI
perior to the clap-trap and rot of the low
comedies of the present, that ii is an insult
to the genuine comedy to mention them in
the same moment. Miss Mayhem has
grown fieshy, and is not so light and
sprightly as when she first appeared here.
She had most difficult role, one that has
tried the metal of some of the most famous
of actresses, and she handled it with
a good deal of skill, but not SO
well as the public expected. She was
before a strange and rather irrespon-
I sive audience, and was visibly nervous.
1t will be reasonable to expect more self
possession and warmth tonight when the
| EN- barassment caused by some of the sup
port being very imperfect in their lines will
be obyiated. Valerga was not good support
in the leading male character. He is capa-
bic OF very much better work. In the farce
he sang with fine effect and won encores.
Rochester and Gray were fairly good in the
| comedy; the work of Wallace, Misses At
kinson and Mann was entirely acceptable.
| In the old time farce-such as has not been
| played here in many years-"M Mistaken
Identity Miss Mayhem appeared to greatly
better advantage, and sang, and tripped
| the measures with viyacity. Rochester was
strong in the farce, his versatility in comic
character acting winning him loud APP
plause and several recalls. With Miss
Mayhem and Rochester in the duet the
whimsical iece warmed up finely and Miss
| Mayhew's capacity in low comedy roles
| was much more apparent. She is not the
dancing, vivacious soubrette any longer,
but she is nevertheless the clever actress.
The same bill tonight. Tomorrow night
"Fanchon," in which Miss Mayhem has
won special stage victories.

St. Cecilia Ladies' Club-First Concert.


The st. Cecilia Ladies Club gives its first
concert tonight at the Metropolitan The
alter, the programme being published in
full in another column. The club is new
one. of very large membership, and in
cludes lady vocahsts well and favorably
known locally. 1t has been under the
musical instruction of Charles Haywood for
several months, and those competent to
judge who have attended the club rehears-
ais are warm in their promise of fine
musical entertainment 10 night. The club
is to be assisted by Hugo Mansfield, the
distinguished pianist. and Louis Heine, an
accomplished violoncelloist. The soloists
and duetists are to be Charles Haywood,
the conductor; Mrs. A. Bonheim, Mrs. VIM
Schaw, Mrs. s. C. cambridge and Miss Grace
Hatch. Among the choruses to be given
will be the bridal chorus from "Lohengrin;"
'Sighing Winds, by George Fox, and the
chorus trio of Mendelssohn, "Lift Thine
Eyes," from the oratorio of Elijah. The
| finale is a composition by Mr.. Haywood,
Greeting to st. Cecilia and is an interna-
| tional medley, with something of dra-
matte effect, with Miss Mamie w. Balm
bridge as Columbia and Miss Jennie Weldy
as st. Cecilia. The box sheet is open at the
theater for reserving seats without extra
| charge. 1t is worthy of record that within
! the last sixteen months a greater interest
| has been manifest in Sacramento in
musical matters than for many years past
| The city now has two large and very earn
est singing clubs in the concert field and
oneinstrumental organization, besides three
| or four orchestras and bands and several
private music schools. The st. Cecilia
| Club is the very latest manifestation of the
expanding musical taste of the community.

A New Club.

There has been formed in this city club
composed of young people, who style
themselves the AMIGOS. They meet Satur-
day evenings at Turner Hall, where dane
ing is INDUCED in from 80 to 10 o'clock.
The members are all between the ages of ID
and 10, and are representative of the best
families in Sacramento. The object is
to learn all the new dances, and a compe-
tent teacher is employed to instruct them
in that art. The club has been organized
for several weeks, and is just entering on
its second term. The scholars pride them
selves on knowing more new dances than
any other similar organization in the city
and being more efficient in the old ones.
Three of the parents have been chosen as
Committee of Management, and no one
can join excepting on an invitation from
them. There are about sixty members al
together, and it has proven so far to be a
very enjoyable affair.

proved enjoyable, but there were so many
old-time fremen absent by reason
of sickness and infrmity, that the
fact was matter of subdued comment and
made the veterans more than usually

must befall their association. Speeches were
made by the new officers named and by P.

others. About 11:30 the company broke
