ADJUSTMENTS.

Friday night, at the Metropolitan The
ater, Mckee Rankin will appear in 1.-THE
Canuck." He will be supported by his
daughter, Miss Phyllis Rankin, and
competent company. The box office will
open for reservation of seats on Thursday
at $50 A. NJ. Mr.. Rankin is well known
to theater-goers here as an accomplished,
painstaking actor. He has always main-
tanned good dramatic position as a
leader, and we think that in the new
character he now presents he will satisfy
eXacting tastes in Sacramento. The San
Francisco EUel13Bg Post says of The Ca
nuck'' and Mr.. Rankin in San Francisco:
1.-THE production was more than well re-
ceived. Jean BaptiSte CadeauX is a
homely character, but the actor invests it
with interest enough to hold his audi
ence throughout the performance. He has
the accent of the French-Canadian down
TO perfection, and carries 1t well through
every phase of the character. His humor
Is easy and his fun contagious. CadeauX
is a Erench-Canadian farmer living
on the border line. His daughter
has been left in Vermont to be edu-
Gated. and she afterwards elopes with
divorced man, the son of the
friend OF the father. CadeauX shuts his
door against the erring, daughter, and
Swears he will never look upon her face
again. The girl returns, however, and
the sound of her voice is too much for
the old man and he bids her stay, and the
curtain goes down on a very pretty scene.
Tie old man is filling his pipe before the
ire, his thoughts far back in the past,
and the little girl swings from the arm of
his chair, singing to him in the uncertain
light of the ire. Rankin has not made
the mistake of overshadowing his conf
pany His support is good one. Miss
Phyllis Rankin, his daughter, has yet
much to learn. She is too stilted and
Goes not display sufficient animation.
She plays dual character, and is much
better as the Canadian girl than the
american young lady. Charles III. Clark
makes a splendid Vermont farmer, and
one could not wish for a better piece OF
character acting"

Why There Was One kick Less in
the Supervisors Chamber.
Supervisor Bates was sauntering to-
ward the Hall Of Records yesterday when
he was accosted by a gentleman of pro-
nounced Hibernian extraction, who had
fire in his eye.
''Misther Bates, an outhrage has been
perpatooted upon me-" began the gentle
man of the fiery eye. "Oi propose to

Supervisor.
''Shure, sor, that haythen av an Assis-

That is an outrage, surely. So you

thrusting his hand into his pocket. "The

Rumored Fatal Shooting ARRAY Out al
Elk Grove

Rumored Fatal Shooting ARRAY Out at
Elk Grove.
There was rumor current in this city,
about II o'clock last night, that Frank
Graham, a well-known young man of
Elk Grove, had been shot and killed dur
ing an affray.
1t was impossible to get any word from
there either by telephone or telegraph at
that hour, hence the report could not be
verified.
Frank Graham was the proprietor of
the Toronto Hotel. The family is
prominent one in that section, and of
the highest responsibility.
j. Frank Clark, the undertaken, had
been called to Elk Grove, and he was
quoted as having said that Frank Ora
ham was dead. At Coroner Clark's
office, however, nothing could be learned.
The deputies there stated that Coroner
George Clark had gone to Rio Vista,
and his father to Elk Grove. Whether
or not Graham had been shot, the depu-
ties could not say, nor did they know in
whose case Mr.. Clark, Sr., had been
called there.
