That there is great enmity
to Los Angeles at Washington,
or that there is great negli-
gence on the part Of Gen. vande-
yer, can scarcely be questioned. Yes
terday was the last day in which it was,
possible to call up the question Of an
appropriation for our public building.
1t was not called up. On the other
hand, an appropriation of $4,000 for q
public building for st. Paul was called
up and passed. All Angelefos will feel
like saying, "God bless old Vandever. J"
He has made the boss marplot record Of
the age. At the same time the people
of this city and county may realize,
some time or other, thatthey sometimes
do some very stupid things. We may
as well take time by the eforelock and an
range to have the, Congressman from
some outside districttake charge, of our
affsirs. From Vandever to Bowers is
something like passing from Scylla to
Charybdis.

The Magistrate by the Alcazar Com
pany Last Night.

The Magistrate by the Alcazar Com
pany Last Night.
The Alcazar company from San Fran
cisco opened at the Los Angeles last
night, in The Magistrate, bright and
funny English comedy Of the present
day. The little drama is full of clever
lines and absurd mistakes that bring
the participants in the most ludicrous
difficulties. The stepson leads the step
father astray. The wife is arrested on a
criminal charge and brought for trial
before her own husband, who escapes
from the same gang of police who ar
rested her, by falling through a sky
light and being chased over half Lon
don.
The cast is good, the leading roles be-
ing played by L. R. Stockwell, one of
the cleverest comedians that come this
way; Miss Ethel Brandon, very pretty
and graceful woman, and Miss
Idalene Cotton, the charming
daughter of old Ben Cotton. whose
black face business has delighted many
a mining camp in the old days of the
state. The minor roles were in very
competent hands in the main. The
house was good one, and all present
thoroughly enjoyed the play. 1t will be
repeated tonight.
OTHER EVENTS.
Mr.. Emerick's benefit will take place
tomorrow night at Turner hall.
The Turn-verein Germania give the
annual ball of the society next Saturday
night.
Miller's Musical Comedy company
opened at the Musee last Saturday, and
were accorded a hearty greeting. They
presented an olio OF specialties, which
embraced some taking features that
were fully appreciated by the large
audiences. A humorous comedietta, en-
titled Mistaken Identity, closes the oIio
in a decidedly hilarious manner, for the
comedy work is good. The sensation of
the performance, however, is the wan
ishing lady."D which is presented in
black art, in which rather spirituelle
young lady is presented amid lot of
mysterlously manipulated bric-a-brac.

Mrs. Mamie Calvert and William
Crumb, arrested for adultery several
days since, appeared in Judge Stanton's
court room yesterday. The court room
was crowded, as it had been noised
around that considerable salacious testi-

room frequenters were disappointed,
however, as it was found that the COM
plant could not be found.
The lawyers had heated debate,
which ended by Judge Stanton dismiss
ing the case. Mrs. Calvert and William
Crumb were arrested just outside the
court room by Constable Rodgers, on a
new complaint, and were taken before
Judge Austin, who fixed [Crumb's bail
at $4,000 and Mrs. Calvert's at $1,000.

THE DAYS WHEN STEAMERS SAIL.
CORRESPONDENTS QUESTION ABOUT TRANS
ATLANTIC MAILS.

A CORRESPONDENTS QUESTION ABOUT TRANS
ATLANTIC MAILS.
A correspondent writing to The Tribune asks the
following question:
Can you tell me why it is that with at least ten
steamers per week leaving this port for Europe the
only days, so far have been able 10 learn. when
mail Is taken are on Wednesdays and Saturdays. In
other words why is II that all the lines send their
vessels these days, so that there are sometimes
five or six steamships leaving the same day and no
more till the following Wednesday Saturday : 1t
would certainly be great convenience, and it seems
very strange that it is not arranged to have steamers
for Europe leave every day in the week. at least
Mondays and Thursdays well as on Wednesdays and
saturdays.
u hope you can give me some explanation Of the
present strange arrangement of sailngs.'
The explanation is briefly follows 1t is the trans
portation of cargoes witch has to be most considered
in the arrangement of q steamship schedule. Expert
ence has proved that Wednesdays and SATURDAYS are
the most advantageous days for sailngs day IN the
middle of the week and the last day All large Hnes
now run on a fOuf-weeks' schedule. ship leaving
New-York Monday would not be able TO receive ana
store cargo the day before sailing. Tuesday would
give only day Immediately preceding the sill
Ing the reception Of In short. the object Is
10 get the day of sailing Oh both ends OF the line as
far away from the previous sunday possible, ana
Wednesdays and saturdays have been found the best
days for sailngs In SUMNER when the rush OF tran
atlantic trade Is at its height IL has been found neces-
sary have ships sailing on other days IN order 70
accommodate the increased traffic. Thus In the last
week steamers carving mails 10 England left this port
on Tuesday Wednesday. Thursday and Saturday, only
two week days Monday and Friday, being without a
mail steamer for Europe
