ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing, tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow
evening ''Niobe," the new comedy. will
be played, with Miss Isabelle Coe, a
charming actress whose modest bearing,
gentle ways and general capacity are ia
miliar TO this public, in the title role.
"Niobe'' had great success at the Bald
win Theater, San Francisco. The press
speaks of it as far above the level of the
tarce-comedy, as free from the knock
about element, and being wholesome
and clean in its mirth. The San Fran
cisco Chronicle says it:
Niobe' is far from being a simple re-
adjustment of the plot of 'Pygmalion
and Galatea.' In finding this out last
night large audience gained deal of
amusement, and not only had the sense
of humor tickled, but the sense of beauty
gratitied. The statue of lovely woman
is warmed into life in both plays, and
makes things extremely awkward for the
innocent man who is responsible for the
change. But, starting from this point i'll
common, the two plays diverge widely,
and 'Niobe' pays its debt to the older
play. Galatea was Greek statue brought
to life among the Greeks and in Greece.
NiObe in the play is a revivited petritac-
ton of the actual body OF that fearful
queen, and she comes to life in the mod
ern city of New York. The electric cur
rent and an insurance man are the inno-
cent agents in the change. The con-
trasts between Niobe's notions of
life and those of the people among
whom she finds herself are naturally
striking, and they are made infinitely
amusing in the play. the dialogue of which
is as clever as the situations, which are
all well managed. Isabelle Coe, who
takes the role OF Niobe, accentuates these
contrasts by assuming the measured
musical manner of speech that we are
told the Greeks made point of, and by
a sort of classic attitudiniZing, which sets
Niobe still farther apart from the people
among whom she begins her second life.
The touch of formality in her style is not
at all out Of place, and her refinement OF
manner and intelligent directness in
making her points give her rendering OF
the part an uncommon attraction. 1t is
not at all like the stereotyped thing in
this line, and the audience recognized the
difference by hearty applause and an at
tentive hearing of the epilogue, which
was not as bright as it would have been ii
it had been a match for the play"

THE DEPOT ACT.
People Should Not be Blinded by
Prejudice.
llare Register. october 24th.l

I1ulafe Register. OCTOBER E4InI
A number of our respected contempo-
raries, who, ,conceiving that the Depot Act
was Southern Pacific scheme (and not
looking before leaping to the conclusion
that the aforesaid Depot Act must there
fore be very bad Act, have fixed up
some nice dishes of crow for themselves
TO eat. AS will be seen from an open let
ter, TO be found in another column, the
Central Committees of both the Republic
can and Democratic parties in this state
have Joined in urging the voters to sane
tion that Act at the polls. The Register
contemplates with satisfaction the fact
that 1t was one of the first papers in the
State to come out in favor OF the depot
proposition. We admit that when the
southern Pacific Company is found in
favor OF any public proposition it stands
the people in hand 10 subject such propo-
sltlon 10 severe scrutiny less there be an
African ensconced therein; but neither
press nor people should permit passion or
prejudice 10 blind them to their own best
interests. Itmay very frequently happen
that the interests of the people and the in
terests of the Southern Pacific are found
moving along parallel lines; and it would
always SO happen if shortsighteduess and
blind both the company and the people to
their own true interests. 1t is always
best TO consider each proposition upon its
own merits. A commodious depot at the
foot OF Market street in san Francisco is
n cryI ing need, and sanctioning the Depot
Act is the best way Of getting 1t.

Training q Horse.

A horse should never be deceived by
word or action. When a rider or driver
pulls the reins and says whoa" he
should mean it and stick to it. But to cry
whoa" jerk the reins and lash the horse
at the same time is confusing and means
nothing. 1t is quite common to say
''whoa' when it is only intended TO go
slower, or when the horse has not stirred
foot, to let him know of your presence.
One day when your life may depend upon
whoa" you will find that your horse
is not stopped by it because you have en-
tirely played it out of him. Speak always
in a natural tone of voice under all cir
cumstances. Always let your horse face
the object of his fear, and when fright
ened, remember the slower you move
your horse the more power you have over
him. There are times when letting a
horse trot is almost as bad as letting him
run away. Fear is something a horSeman
should never exhibit in his coUntenance
or voice, as the horse is a close observer,
and soon learns to take advantage Of such
indication to become careless q control,
if not indeed aggressive. Let your les
sons be thorough, but not very long. Be
gentle and patient with the colt, but
make the willful, stubborn horse feel the
full extent Of your power until he sub

EVIL DOERS ARRAIGNBD.
Ralph Cummings Sentenced TO San
Quentin for Two Years.
His Accomplice, Silva, VIII Stand
Trial-NIcCarthy and Stone Get
Off With Light Sentences.

There was an array of criminal talent in
Superior Judge Catlin's court yesterday
for arraignment.
Joseph Silva and Ralph Cummings, the
two individuals arrested by officer Talbot
for burglarizing the room of Frank Leith
in the Metropolitan Building, were the
first to stand up. Cummings realized
that the District Attorney had dead
Ease" against them and concluded to
throw himself upon the mercy of the
court. He pleaded guilty to the charge,
and Judge Catlin sentenced him to two
years confinement in the penitentiary at
san Quentin.
Silva, however, determined to take
chances with jury and declared himself
not guilty. His trial was set for Noyem-
Der I'd. Silva, it will be remembered, was
captured in Oakland with portion of
Leith's jewelry in his possession.
George Mccarthy, who is charged with
having broken into a room in the Manhat-
tan Lodging house and carrying of 81 50
belonging to lodger, faced the music
next. lie, like Cummings, was polite,
believing that it would 90 easier with
him should he acknowledge his guilt and
thus save the county the expense of a
trial. And he was right. By consent OF
District Attorney Ryan he was permitted
to plead guilty to petty larceny, and
Judge Catlin sentenced him to three
months incarceration in the County Jail.
B. w. Stone, alias Williamson, who got
into a row with street-car conductor and
attempted to carve him with knife, was
also diplomatic. By convincing the au-
thorities and his intended victim that he
was very sorry for what he had done, and
that there were several extenuating cir
cumstances connected with the affair, he
was allowed TO plead guilty to simple as
sault, in lieu of the charge of assault to
murder originally placed against MIN,
and Judge Catlin let him down with three
months in the County Jail.
Joseph Hertz, who is charged with
stealing a bicycle, and who was over
hauled at Reno, Nevada, pleaded not
guilty to the charge of grand larceny
against him. His trial was set for No
vember I'd.
The trials of Henry Beeler and Henry
Johnson were set for November I'D and
23d, respectively.
