ADJUSTMENTS. A

The Lyceum company played the
Charity Ball last evening. to an audience
about as large as that on the first night.
The action was somewhat accelerated,
and in consequence the curtain fell a
full half hour earlier than on Tuesday
evening.
2 For this evening The Idler is billed, a
play which has met wirh the greatest
success elsewhere, and ON which the
talented members of the company are
said to have roles which give them
greater opportunities than are found in
the Charity Ball.
The opera house is by no means un-
comfortably warm these evenings.
Managers McLain and Lehman very
wisely have used all the means at their
command to make the theater cool and
attractive, SO that people who enjoy a
really fine performance, need not stay
away from fear of discomfort.

A FORGOTTEN ALLEY.
The Council on Monday Will Investigate
the Matter.

tho Matter.
Next Mondays session of the council
will witness the introduction of reso
luton calling upon the city attorney tc
investigate the matter of the closing up
of a now almost forgotten alley in the
center of the city. Itwas at the time
it was in use called Botel,o alley, was
fifteen feet wide, and ran from Spring
street to New High at point opposite
the old court house, and is now occu.
pied by building used as barber
shop.
An old timer in conversation with a
HERALD reporter talked about the alley,
and remembered that it used to be
closed by a gate, but only at nights
Mr.. Botello owned house which abut-
ted on the alley, and at night time the
people passing through the alley an
noyed and disturbed his sleep; so he
petitioned the council for permission to
close the alley at nights with a gate,
which was readily granted. This was
in 1858, and property around that part
of town was not very valuable; so, as
time passed, and the gate re-
mained closed day as well as night,
people gradually forgot about the
alley. Only few years ago, however, a
piece of property adjoining the alley
was bought and in the plat accompany
ing the sale the alley was indicated. No
one seems to know just when or by
whom the first building was put up,
which effectually closed up the alley.
Mr.. Baldwin, who bought the adjoin-
ing property, must have been aware of
the existence of the alley, for about FIVE
years ago when approached by an east
ern man who wished to lease the place
in question if Baldwin would put up a
suitable building, he was told that Mr..
Baldwin would not be likely to put up a
very expensive building, as there was a
cloud on the title, he having purchased
the land at tax sale. He would, how
ever, probably build an arcade there.
This would indicate that Mr.. Baldwin
knew he had no right to that sixteen
foot strip, as an arcade could not be
considered as an obstruction of the alley,
and he would be safe in building it.
Mr.. J. H. Melville, the searcher of
records, who, some time 60, made the
discovery regarding the Broadway mat
ter, has run across things referring to
the alley in the records which would
indicate that the city has good case in
the attempt to open itas thoroughfare.
A sixteen-foot passageway to New High
street, between Franklin and Temple,
would certainly prove great conven-
ience, considering the present location
of the county offices, and the future
action of the council regarding it will be
watched for with much interest.

IT REALLY looks as if wholesome

IT REALLY looks as if wholesome
public sentiment as to our water supply
is being aroused in this community.
This will be good news, particularly to
the long-suffering people on the hills.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Times,
talks as if we were already buying out
the Citizens Water company and max
ing municipal system OF our own. It
may be found convenient to do this in
the end, but long experience has
taught our people the wisdom
of the old adage, "Look before you
leap." 1t will require great
deal of considering, pro and con, before
such an emphatic new departure is
made, although it might be the part Of
highest wisdom to so shape our mu-
nicipal polity as to acquire all the
water rights now existing, and serve our
own people with water. Partial and
fractional movements in this direction
are to be deprecated. The lease of the
Los Angeles Water company. by the
way. has very few years to run. The
4uc6tlOn OF tuc "duoi ouPP'J Aoi pAiio
city is one of momentous interest, and
it is just about time that our peo-
pie should begin to take it into seri-
ous consideration. The enforcement
OF the law, as against the Citizens and
the City Water companies is of course
the leading issue of the hour, and it ad-
mits of no compromise. But the other
and larger question is of overshadowing
moment, or will shortly became so.
This city has it in her power to secure
water supply that cannot be surpassed
anywhere. It is within the possibilities
that the city shall also own this
water supply. All public-spirited citi-
zsns should at once apply their best
intelligence to this matter.

and either throws the ball to one OF his
team or makes rapid shot upon the
enemy's goal. For moment both sides
watch with bated breath the effect.
Suddenly counter cheer is heard from
the opposing side; the goal keeper has
mace brilliant stop and saved the
game, and before the spectator has had
time to realize all that has happened,
the rubber is sent flying several hundred
feet in the air, and the scene OF conflict
is transferred to the other end OF the
field. So it continues until one side
scores, and then rest of ten minutes is
given. 1t is impossible to describe the
numberless quick passes, clever lodges
and graceful catches which are made in
the course of the afternoons contest,
but the writer trusts that he has said
sufficient to interest the readers of the
HERALD in this delightful, invigorating
and manly pastime. Ell. Robertson.

JAMES SAMUELs, of Kentucky, was
yesterday nominated by Director Gen
eral Davis as chief of the horticultural
bureau OF the worlds fair, and he was
confirmed by all the bodies which make
the nomination an assured election.
This ends long wrangle, in which Cal
ifornia has washed great deal of dirty
linen in public. There is something not
only unpleasant but highly humiliating
in the way the Golden state has been
made to figure in this scramble for
recognition, which would have been
very graciously accorded to this state if
our people had not preferred calumny
to success, and backbiting to generous
public spirit. When Harrison went into
Office we should have had cabinet min
lister if it had not been for the clashing
of the friends of Swift and Estee. We
should have had head of the hortichl-
tural bureau if it had not been for the
industrious defamation of the Messrs.
Maxwell, Chapman and Forsythe.
When it came to these successive
victims, slain in the house of their
friends, the HERALD lost all interest in
the contest. We heartily hope that Mr..
Samuels, who has captured the prize, is
worthy of the distinction. He is said
to own fruit farms in Florida and Cali
fornia. If such is the case, he will
doubtless prove to be an enlightened
and disinterested chief of the bureau.
Now that man of admittedly high
character has been put at the head of
the national horticultural bureau, it is
hoped that all chickering's will cease, and
that spirit of cordial cooperation will
rsdiste from Chicago to all points of the

INSTRUCTIONS
How to Prepare and Address Packages
Sent by Mail.

The season is approaching when
the mails will be filed with holiday
presents, and.a great many are lost,
delayed or damaged each year be-
cause of the Indifferent manner in
which they are prepared for mailing.
Newspaper or other thin paper
should never be used for wrapping,
and packages as ordinarily wrapped
where purchased are not sufficiently
secure for forwarding in the mails.
Use strong paper; make package
that will not crush easily; tie well
with good Irvine; address legibly and
correctly with ink on the lower right
hand corner, and very few packages
will fail to reach destination in good
condition.
1t is always advisable to place the
name and address Of the sender on
the upper left-hand corner of all pack
ages, ETC., sent in the mails, 50 they
may be returned in case the address
es cannot be found. Postal statistics
show that more delays result from
incorrect addresses than from errors
in distribution by postal employees.
In case of loss or delay, report the
same to your postmaster with all the
information that can be given.

test are clearly presented by a Wash
ing correspondent as follows :
"The victory of Crisp is generally re-

bearing on presidential candidates
and issues. Mills came to be recog-
nized as the candidate who embodied
Cleveland's idea-that tariff should
be the issue Of '92, while Crisp was
recognized as the exponent of the Hill
idea-that the silver question should
be given equal rank with the tariff.
The defeat of Mills is construed as a
reverse to Cleveland and his opposi-
ton to silver"

The Solution of the Convict Question.

The Solution of the Convict Question.
Gov. Buchanan, in a recent inter
view, published in the Washington
Post on the convict question, and the
Briceville situation, gave utterance
to this most sensible expression:
"A final solution OF the question, l
think, would be the employment OF
the entire convict population in one
mine. a policy of massing or con
centration would be a great improve
ment over the present plan of having
them scattered about in various To-
calitles. Employment of this labor
directly by the State in coal and iron
mines seems also a feasible solution. -
This is the solution first proposed
by the LEAF-CHRoNICLE and after
wards embraced in the House bill of
the extra session known as the
Myers bill, and was defeated by the
senate after passing the House and
then agreed to by conference COM
mittee of the two houses.
1t means that the State shall pur-
chase coallands, develop mines, EN-.

bodied men on the farm for the sup.

prisoners in the mechanical depart
