SANTA BARBARA, March 2.
An entertainment was given at the
opera house last night by the ladies of
Santa Barbara, for the benefit of the
local kindergarten, which would do
credit to the first class of professionals.
The weather was most unfavorable, yet
the house was we'll filed. bespeaking
our citizens great charitable disposition
toward home talent and home charity.
The entertainment was entirely of tab
leaux, representing pictures by the
greatest authors, and was under the
personal supervision and management
of Mrs. F. H. Wheelan. To Mrs. Whee'
Ian too much credit cannot be given.
The participants are also worthy oi
great credit. Every feature was enjoy
able, and there was not a hitch from
start to finish. Some of the costumes
were exceedingly fine-indeed, they
were elegant.
Carl Stoddard and Miss Colt repre-
sented the famous painting, The Ange-
lus, by Millet. The scene was very
pretty, and was greatly applauded.
Butin's For Men Must Work and
Women Must Weep, was next presented
by Miss Eaton. The scene showed a
ship far out at sea, with the fisherman g
wife gazing intently from the shore.
By her side little child stood upon a
huge coil of rope. This was greatly ap-
preciated.
Next followed Mrs. w. w. Hollister as
The Witch's Daughter. The scene was
bewitching, and did, great credit to
Church's masterpiece.
A Pair of Pears, or You Dirty Boy, was
next given by Miss DE- Laney and Master
S. Gaty. The scene was true to life, and
elected much laughter.
J. w. Taggart represented monk in
meditation admirably.
Miss Gilman was next seen stealing
kiss" from the bust of Miss M. Smith,
true to the picture of the famous painter,
De Beaumont.
Mrs. George Edwards next appeared
in Jacobs famous picture, Comme
Madame, followed by Mics Randall in
Ricci's The Love Letter.
Miss Duramus was then shown in The
Studies Of Japanese Girl. This scene
was indeed lovely.
The Misses Dibblee followed in a
scene in Spain. The beauty of these
young ladies made this one of the pret-
tiest productions of the evening.
Derving's Prelude by Miss F. Fernald
and Mrs. Sidebothem was next beauti-
fully produced.
The entertainment concluded with
Miss Doegg in The Maids Choice. This
little lady was all that the great artist
Pyle himself could have wished. Her
part was enthusiastically received.
The scenery painting for the occasion
was almost entirely the work OF Mrs.
Wheelan and was very creditable.

threatening to use it.
Yesterday was very wet day for

rain fell, rendering the streets very
muddy. Today is cloudy and threaten

falling on the porch OF his residence, is
doing as well as could be expected. The

two places above the knee. Mr..
Wheeler is troubled with kidney COM
plant, and this fact renders his injury
very painful.
