at the Metropolitan Theater last night.
The play is very light, but a very anus

clever mechanical appliances. Mr.. Heege
is a neat dialect actor, and makes the

very amusing, without worrying the
auditor with a jargon not understandable

here.
Friday evening next testimonial con-

since her retnrn from the East,
where she was under the direction
of Nine. Clara Brinkerhoff, prima
donna soprano, and a distinguished
musical educator and voice developer
She pronounces Miss Felter's progress
phenomenal, and her voice as of pure
quality and power. Miss Felter sang in
Carnegie Hall, New York, recently, and
the Home Journal pronounced her effort
4 decided success, and that "her voice
has the great charm of being Sintpdtica,
with fine compass. Cultivation has more
than doubled the volume she had when
she came here" The same paper adds
that ''she bears two diplomas, one as a
first-elass concert-singer, the other as
teacher of the Brinkerhoff method of
vocal instruction. 1t is rarely that a
pupil secures from Mme Brinkerhoff

is another evidence of the fact that
Sacramento has sent out some of the best
singers of the country. She has many
friends here who will rejoice at her sue

the Pioneers representing a cross and
anchor. A cross and crown came from
the employees of deceased's business
house, and Mrs. r. Oppenheim sent a
mammoth cross, six feet high, and COM
