ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing Gillette's fine low comedy, "All the
Comforts Of Home" Will be played. It
will be given here but one night. The.
intention was to play it Saturday night
also, but the chief scenery is very heavy
and difficult TO handle, and it would not
he feasible TO take ii down and ship ii in
time for the Oregon train Saturday night
without cutting the play, and this Man
ager Henry says he wants no more Of
Accordingly there will be but one nights
performance, and that will be a complete
one, and the troupe Will remain here
Saturday. Beside, a Saturday night per
Torrance would interfere with the Ma
rine Band concert. The "All the Com
forts of a Home'' Company is one
of accomplished comedians, there
is no. weak timber in il, we are
told. Some of the leading people
who were in the cast year ago. when the
piece was played here, are still with the
troupe. Chas. Frohman never has sent
us an indifferent company, and we are
assured that this is one OF the very best
he has organized. The play is probably
level with Gillette's best effort 1t took
well when given here year ago. and will
probably fill the house tonight. It is
merry from the first line spoken, and as
full OF the cause for laughter as any PLAY
well could be. 1t is chaste and intro
duceS no butfoonery or the clap-traD of
contorted features and outrageously cos
TUNED people. 1t is played in the cos
tune of the street and the home. and its
whole action turns upon the plumbers of
a youth who undertakes to run his uncle's
town-house as means of revenue by let
ting rooms with home comforts. The re-
suit is a series of situations that fairly
bubble with fun.
At the SiXth-street NJ. L. Church this
evening Rev. f. r. Ollie, who is an ac-
complished lecturer, possessing about all
the qualities that go to make up skilled
speaker, Will lecture for the benefit of the
church organ fund. His subject will be
sour Country-1ts Heroes and History.n
The lecture will be illustrated by 200 very
fine sGereopticon views. The subject. the
purpose of the lecture and the eloquenee
of the speaker ought to insure a crowded
house.
The indications are that the United
States Marine Band concerts in this city
tomorrow will both be attended by very
large audiences. 1t is known that many
people are coming from Woodland, Red
ding, Dixon, Placerville and Truckee and
points intermediate, reduced rates hay
ing fbeen secured for sucn, and on the
mountain division return home the same
night by coaches attached TO freight
trains, II the people wish it. The United
states Marine Band is probably the best
band organization in the United States.
1t Is this band that plays at the White
House and ON all occasions when Congress
has need of band. Sousa. its director,
has been at its head for eleven wears and
has made it famous the continent over.
The band consists of fortv-eight mem
hers. and its history dates back To 1872
Congress has recently provided for the
enlargement of the band to seventv-two
nieces, The organization is absent from
Washington on furlough for few weeks
that the people may hear it and that the
enlisted men may have an opportunity to
add something to the regulation salary
income. and which alone could not COM
mand the talent the band represents
ACCOMMODATING the band is the soprano
Decca. a prima donna of American birth
Of prominence, the penetrating quality of
whose voice is warmly commended nv
,nnsical critics. In both the afternoon
aud evening concerts descriptive pieces
will he introduced. In the afternoon

Race descriptive OF that remarkable
scene in "Ben Hur." In the even
