AMUsEMENTs.

Miss Mather's Juliana in Tohin's fine old
comedy "The Honeymoon" as played at
the Metropolitan Theater last evening, was
one of the most finished OF performances
1t served TO illustrate the versatility Of the
artist and to prove how thoroughly compe-
tent she is for the varied standard walks of
the drama. The extreme contrast between
her Juliet and her Juliana throws her dra-
matte attributes into far greater prominence
than would the pursuit of one line of act
ing. In comedy sheis artless, spontaneous,
child of nature, apparently. Her grace
ful figure and lovely face contribute to her
art as do refined surroundings and rich
mountings to rare picture. Her express
sion Of feature in all cases where the emo
,sSons are involved is the reflex of natural
Aeeling. its assumption being so artful that
the spectator loses sight OF the art in the
apparent absence of sll effort to act. Her
looks OF love, irradiated with happiness,
hnger in the memory as among the most
fascinating and fortunate expedients of the
actor ever seen employed. In short Miss
Mather's method is that rare union of emo
tional power aroused through the imagina-
ton and not the senses, and the control of
intellectual character. While thus pro-
nounced in commencing the skill of this
woman, ii is not lost sight of that she is
chargeabie with some mannerisms. is not
free from errors of STYLE and that she is as
yet not developed in power and the intel
lectual strength as she will be when age
and greater experience shall have ripened
and toned her mind, and given her deeper

THE CHILpREN,s FRIEND.
A Sensible Suggestion from San Fran
cisco Paper.

A Sensible Suggestion from San Fran
cisco Paper.
The San Francisco Post of last evening
contained the following very sensible sug-
gestion:
'The residents of the cities and towns of
Northern California are vieing with one
another on according honors to Senator
and Mrs. Stanford. 1t is worthy of note
that these receptions have no political
significance, and that they are participated
in by men of all political views, Of all
natIonalities and all creeds.
They are the spontaneous acts of the
people, in recognition of the great things
this man has done for the State They are
an expression of the peoples gratitdue over
the generous act of the Senator and Mrs.
Stanford in making the State the heir of
their great fortune.
"The vast wealth which Mr.. Stanford
has accumulated was intended for his only
son. When he was called hence to eter-
nifty he determined to make the children
of the State collectively his heirs To them
he has decided the bulk of his great fortune,
an6 for them he is rearing great institu-
ton of learning at Palo Alto. 1t is there.
fore very appropriate that the children
should hold the places of especial prom
inence, as they have in these receptions. In
some instances the children have made
preparations for the expression of their
gratitude in manner most touching.
These childish demonstrations must
be most pleasing to the Senator and Mrs
Stanford, and should serve as an example
to the children OF this city, who will de-
rive the greatest benefits from the school at
Menlo. 1t would be pleasing sight for
all the children in the schools of this city,
public, parochial and kindergarten, on a
fixed day to invade the Stanford mansion
and express their thanks to this child be-
reft couple, who have taken all the children
of the State under their sheltering care.'

"'WHEN I'M GOOD.
I'm Very Good, But When I'm Bad II
Horrid . Therev'

I'm Very Good, But When I'm Bad I'm
Horrid y There"
Rev. Father Coleman, of Marysville, was
in this city yesterday. He came here in
search of girl named Stella Cranney, who
had left family for whom she had been
working in the capacity of nurse, at Marys-
vile, and fed to this city. He told Chief
Lee that he suspected she might be in one
of the houses of illfame in this city and
if possible he wanted to save her. The
reason he took such an interest in her was
that the girl had been raised from child
hood in the Convent at Grass Valley. She
was an orphan when she entered that in
stitution, and up to some time ago she had
been steadily in the care of the Sisters. Ex-
pressing a desire to work for family in
Marysville she was allowed to go there,
and for long time she stayed in that city.
On last Friday, however, she concluded to
leave, and came direct to this city, and i'm
mediately went to house of ill-fame.
After the reverend gentleman had given
this information, and 8 description of the
wayward girl. to Chief Lee, the latter called
in officer Rider, who in very short time
located the girl, and brought her to the
Chiefs Office. The officer (who by the
way, nas OF late done some good detective
work., found the object of his search in
an L-street house. She at first refused to
go with him, but finally gave in.
Father Coleman and the Chief had long
talk with her, but even the appeals of the
clergyman had not the least effect He
pointed out to her the miseries OF the life
she was about TO enter upon, and begged of
her to reform.
She only laughed at his good advice, and
said she did not care for anybody or any,
thing. She bad concluded to take the step
she did of her own choice, and none could
change her If you lock me up,n she
said, IN go right back into my old ways
again after Pm out. I've made up my
mind to be what ] am, and there's no use
trying to talk me out OF it,"
Seeingthat further persuasion was useless.
the girl was given up by the Chief and
Father Coleman as beyond redemption.
The only thing that moved her was when
the Sister Superior OF Grass Valley was re-
ferred to. She said that the Sister was the
only person she loved in the world, and
she burst into tears at the mention Of her
name.
The unfortunate girl was allowed to go
her way. She is quite pretty, about Is
years Of age, and small. Her sister is
known to the police, and was arrested here
8 couple of mo-ths ago for yagrancy.

days when the higher standards of dra-
matte text prevailed upon the stage. To-
night will be the last appearance of Miss
Mather and her accomplished company in

the Forssken, will be played. Leah is by
many of her friends rated as her best role.
In the curse scene she rises to the level of
some of the foremost tragediennes of her
profession. The Portland Oregonidn, a
careful and not impetuous critic, pro-
nounces her the ideal Leah, and her pres
entation of the character as mastery in the
fullest sense of the term.

The present Legislature will prob

three counties out of the county of
Bent. As the pay of county officers
is mostly in fees. we cannot see why
the total expense of running the
three counties should exceed the
present cost of running the entire
county Of Bent. There is one thing
certain, three counties, economically
managed. can be maintained for less
money than has been extravagantly
used in the support of our county
