AMUSE ENTS.

For the past week the public has
been making preparations to witness
the biblical spectacle of Solomon and
the Queen OF Sheba, in conjunction with
John Robinson's circus. The grand
spectacle of Solomon alone is claimed to
be worth the price of admission, and
the arenic features are said to be very
fine. The chow will arrive here early
Thursday morning, and will give free
street parade, starting from the lot at 10
O'Clock and passing through the princi
pal streets. A performance will be
given in the afternoon, commencing at 2
O'Clock, and one in the evening at s
O'Clock. The doors will be open one
hour earlier.
The many new features that are said
to have been added to the ten big shows
this season will be seen here III all their
attractiveness. There is certain to be
an immense throng at the evening per-
formance, and it would be we'll for
women and children to visit the matinee
and thus avoid any inconvenience.

Manager Harry Wyatt announces the
reopening OF of the Los Angeles theater
on Monday evening next, by Miss
Jeffreys Lewis and an excellent COM
pany. Mr.. Perry, the owner of the
theater has had the building entirely
redecorated, and it is illuminated with
incandescent electric lights, and is
in all ways most beautiful, attractive
and comfortable theater.
Los Angeles theater-goers have always
been delighted with the performances OF
Miss Lewis, and as she comes this time
with very strong company, and will be
seen in number of her best roles, she
will doubtless meet with the liberal re-
ception she 30 we'll deserves.

IT IS small matter, but by little
things we often come to very great and
important conclusions. We refer to the
fact that the county clerk is inundating
the county with printed slips Of the two
column mass of special pleading pub
lished in defence of the that officials
course in giving out the printing of the
great register at cost of about $1,000
without submitting the job to competi-
tive bid. Nobody would object to his
distributing this wishy-washy campaign
document, which was thoroughly de-
molished by the HERALD, if it were not
sent out in official envelopes for which
the county had paid. An abuse of this
kind is small, but significant.

The outcome Of the suit OF Botiller
against de Lorenzana, in Judge Van
Dykes court, develops an extraordinary
state of facts. The defendant lost the
suit and was mulct in the costs, but no
record was made of the payment of the
costs. In due time, Mr.. Botiller sued
out an execution for the costs, and
whilst the execution was in possession
of deputy sheriff, one of the county
clerks deputies got hold Of the execu-
tion and tore it up, notwithstanding it
was part of the archives of the sheriff s
office. The excuse for this high-handed
act was that the costs had been paid,
but that no minute had been made of
it, as there should have been, in the
judgment book. If the people were be.

There is nothing which is go valuable
to an editor as just eense of the rela-
tive value of news. This was evidenced
yesterday in remarkable way by the
evening Express. That journal printed
a column report OF the shipping busi-
ness done at San Pedro, where, by the
way, the custom house is located, but it
failed to make any mention of the fact
that the Union League bureaucracy of
the county had established tax levy OF
$1.45 on the $l00, an almost unprece-
dentedlY high rate.

slip-shod manner, this extraordinary de-

about the effort of the New York state
authorities to punish Peck for destroy

wise our Republican friends to look
nearer home if they wish to animad-

FRANK MORGAN pleaded guilty to the

FRANK MORGAN pleaded guilty to the
charge of stealing 80 cents, and was
yesterday sentenced to be imprisoned
at San Quentin for year. In the same
court a charge of swindling was dis
missed against man who was con-
nected recently in one of the boldest
attempts at fraud which ever came to
light. A confederate was found guilty
by jury on the same charge. some time
ago, but a convenient technicality
served to set the verdict aside. 1t is
such incidents as these that make even
conservative citizens indignant at the
monstrous incapacity OF the law to
even come approximately near to JUS

So FAR as concerns the Republican
part of this campaign tGe civil service
act is a dead letter. All government
employees are being taxed given per-
centage on the amount OF their salaries,
whether they are large or small. To a
man holding an Office like collector of
the pert of San Francisco, it does not
make 30 much difference, but to some
poor letter carrier who only gets enough
to keep body and soul together, it is a
very onerous tax, as well as one having
no warrant in law.

THE tariff teaches the newly-arrived
immigrant that his labor goes for moth
ing, in order that his employer may
keep two or three residences at once and
squander fabulous sums of money in ex-
travagances in Paris and other European
capitals. In word it has done more to
disrupt the amicable relations of labor
to capital in the past twenty years, than
all other contributing causes had done
in the previous century.

Astor's way.

William Waldorf Astor, who is
or is not the head of the house, always
wears his overcoat collar turned up
about his ears in winter, even
on days that are clear and bright.
His eyes are usually bent upon the
ground. Occasionally he wanders
into Delmonico's with preoccupied
air, sits down at a table in a far
corner and eats an extremely modest
lunch fanked by two bottles Of GIN
ger ale. He does not look up at
all, though the eyes of half the
people in the place are upon the man
who owns 5000. 900, 900 worth of
property. When he has finished his
lunch he tips the waiter literally,
pulls on his overcoat, turns up the
collar, tits his hat very far down
over his eyes and wanders forth with
the Astor air of preoccupation. -

School, and DR.. Billings, of the

new infrmary. His plans are
already almost fully prepared, the
only hindrance to their completion
beng the fact that the university
has not yet decided whether it wants
one or two story building.
The first floor will be divided into
large clinic room, in which all OPP
erations viii be performed, and into
three wards, one for non-contagious
cases and the other two, which will
be isolated, for mango and distenper
cases respectively. In these wards
each dog will own his own home,
which viii be highly polished and

bathing may be amply INDUCED in
and cleanliness properly encouraged
among the canine residents, an I'M
limited number Of enameled bath
tubs will be included.
Although the trustees of the uni
versity have authorized the construc-
ton the dog hospital, the funds re
quired for its erection have not yet
been accumulated. 1t is probable,
therefore, that an appeal for fnan-
cial aid in this lau liable purpose will

Recent information indicates that

lied to kill Judge Botkin as reported.

murdered by his own deputies and
for the money and notes be possessed.
This information is given out here
by Mr.. Borner, Of Seward county,
who is accused Of being the princi-
pal couspirator to assassinate the
judge. The evidence he has is the
testimony Of a woman who was an
intimate friend Of Sheriff Dunn, and
who knows better than any one else
his finances. The county is so
sparsely settled that everybody is
acquainted with the murderer, and
1t is feared q jury cannot be inn
panelled. All those Botlin had ar
rested have been released, because
