In the picturesque and romantic mel
odrama, Chain Lightning" which Nell
lie McHenry will present at Brock g
Opera House on Saturday Jan. 3, it may
be said without flattery that Miss Nc
Henry appears to q better advantage
than in any OF the many comedies in
which she has been seen in tho past.
Every opportunity is given for the
ranges OF her versatility and she
improves them all assuming five distinct
characters in most artistic manner, ex-
ceiling in that of German peasant girl
and the Mexican sailor boy Many new
songs and dances are introduced. Spec
ial scenery is carried and the supporting
company is an excellent one.

POLITICAL MATTERS.
Signs of Activity in the Various
Party Camps.
Buckley Givss an Hour to the Populace-Meet-

ham to Open Headquarters.

Christopher A. Buckley, who now that
he has ground large fortune out of his
political machine, and who aspires to be
the Ward McAllister of the San Francisco
Democracy, gave an hour of his time to the
populace at the rooms of the Democratic
County Committee on Market street yester-
day afternoon.
The private room which was fitted up
some time ago was occupied by the boss )"
and his intimates, while the workers" and
heelers" waited without and filed in by
turns. Each of the anXiously waiting patri-
OTIS was granted short interview, but it
was noticed that all who came were arrayed
in their best garments. There was total
absence of flannel shirts, and casual OBJ
server would have failed to recognize in
those present band of hungry Democratic
statesmen. Many of those seeking entrance
to the presence chamber had used large
quantities of highly scented pomatum and
the boss" Chairman Dougherty had dis
carded his fashionable raiment, but he came
late and remained in the outer room with
the crowd until the departure OF Buckley
Sam Rainey was on hand, but was dressed
with the most scrupuous care and fairly
sparkled with diamonds. He, too, Is SAID
10 have social aspirations. and his garb and
manner betokened the man OF the world.
The reception, which was the most brill
liant Of the season, lasted for full hour at
the end of which time Buckley took his
departure leaning on the arm OF Jerry
DriSc0ll. 1t is said that in future he VIII
hold one reception a week OF similar ma
Gure to that of yesterday, but Will tolerate
only the presence of those who are dressed
in a BETTING manner to enter his presence
without shocking the delicate senslDllltles
of the boss nature.

low fisherman, who rowed to the spot,
AnG together they secured the body
TO the boats. and on reaching the city he in
formed Coroner Clark of his discovery. The re-
mains, Which gave signs OF having been in the
water several days, were brought to the
Morgue, where they were recognized as those OF
Nicholas Schadt. an old CITIZEN Of Sacramento
and a man OF considerable wealth. The body
was clothed in light summer garb, and the
clothes contained q small sum of money,
bunch of keys with the Initials IN. s." stamped
on the ring and various trlnkets OF minor value.
Schadt lived with his wife and family of eight
children at 727 X street, and his widow was at
once notified OF the awful find OF The fisherman.
On Friday evening last, Immediately after supper,
Nicholas Schadt left his home on II street. Mrs.
Schadt at first thought nothing of his departure,
suppOslng her husband had gone for stroll but
as the night wore on into the dawn of Saturday
morning and no husband appeared, Mrs. Schadt
began to entertain all sorts OF distressing
fears She waited until nearly noon and then
went 10 The Police Station, carrying with her a
photograph OF Her missing husband together with
a description In order that the officers might
assist in lie search. With their usual blind
TeIicenee tile police withheld these facts from
lie newspaper reporters and they were learn
only from The lips OF the widow by reporter
this afternoon.
Schadt was native OF Prussia, about Sc years
OF age. lie owned considerable business prop
cry and leaves an estate which gentleman
who knew him in his lifetime estimates is
valued al $4,000. The same authority st3tes
that SchadL has been drinking rather heavily Of
recent years, and was naturally man of melan-
ehOly temperament, facts which 20 10 form a
possible cause for Ihe suicide.
At an inquest held tonight II was shown that
for some time past SchadtS mind had been fail

each person looks better in than

even eveei in mourning by christians.* This
same lady asked: why, then. if black is
so bad is it SO generally worm" 1t is En-
glish, you know. The lady said: Lying
north of Europe, on an island, is city
that pretty well rules the world. That city
is under a continual fog. Now choose
color to wear OF a foggy, dark day. some
thing that won't show Dirt and you
have found the reason why sunny India and
sunny America wear black-because they
wish to be so English The wearing of
this dismal hue belongs to modern times.
Who ever heard of Greek, or an. Oriental
or an Egyptian in black ?" Why, because a
woman is afflicted by the loss of dear friends,
should she be further afflicted and jumped
ON by fashion and made to wear a black
that makes her look ugly? A Boston
paper says: THE women clerks in Shep-
ard, Norwell & Co.'s, Jordan, Marsh & Co.'s
and r. I'll. White & Co.'S have been ordered
by their employers to dress only in black,
and a new business air is added to the vari-
GUS establishments" That sort Of business
is as cruel as the grave. Like the grave,
which holds dead friends, it makes women
wear black CARDS of mourning. The
mourning fashion never Furnishes men. 1t
puts weed on mans hat If the man so
labeled for grief meets lady on the street
he takes his hat off, as a matter of course.
The woman in black must stand by her
color of black, which means nothing in the
measure of grief, since she wears it for
fashions sake as much as for the sake of
the dead.-New Orleans Picayune.

WOMEN'S UNION.
An Address on Prison Reform
by Mrs. Harrington.

An interesting meeting of the Women's
Educational and Industrial Union was held
last evening at the parlors 427 Suffer street.
The attendance was fairly good, and evinced
the interest which all the ladies concerned
in the movement feel in the matter.
The association, which was formed sew
eral months ago, aims to promote the best
practical methods of securing the educa-
tional, industrial and social advan cement
of women. The feature of last evenings
meeting was lecture on the Prison sys-
tice." Mrs. Emile Tojetti presided and
introduced Mrs. harrington, the lecturess
of the evening.
There are" said she, thousands of
children who have homes and parents and
yet may be found upon the streets at night
after o'clock, Notwithstanding the Ordi-
nance regarding such actions. There are
many policemen around, but they do not
look after the children who wander abroad
on the streets as they should"
The speaker then described visit which
she had made to the City Prison, and said
she had seen there large number of boys
of tender age confined in cells adjoining
those wherein hardened criminals were con-
fined The language passed from cell to
cell was OF nature to corrupt any young
person. 1t was especially wrong that these
children should be so placed, as at their age
wrOng-doing is very quickly picked up.
In the speakers opinion boys should be
kept away from the criminal class as much
as possible. From what she had seen
young persons who had gone to the County
Jail were never the same when they came
out as when they went in. The present
system of Imprisonment was, in the speak
er'S opinion, all wrong.
There should be certain departments
laid out and the Judges of the courts should
be compelled to distribute the criminals
who appear before them 1t is the duty of
society also TO look after these Maynard
children.
Following the address was duet by
Miss Florence Music and Professor X. A.
Luchini. and thereafter debate on the
subject of Sympathy, the highest emotion
of the human mind" The debaters were
Mrs. Eleanor Sloane and Miss +. Music.
The last number on the programme was
song by Miss Lottie Music and the
Query Box" conducted under Roberts
Rules of Order. and productive Of much
amusement
