ADJUSTMENTS.

Al the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing the farce comedy 'U u u will be
given, with John T. Kelly, Dutch Daly''
and Florrie West in the lead. Since the
piece was given here year ago it has
been entirely rewritten, we are assured,
and new songs, dances, witticisms and
scenes substituted. Kelly is well known
as one of the best Irish low comedy char
acter impersOnators on the stage, and
dutch DAILY" is his peer in burlesquing
the Hollander. Florrie West is very
successful English comedienne from the
Alhambra, London. Georgia DenniSon
was late OF the Casino Opera Company,
and Annie Angeles is the youngest pre-
mier danSeuse on the stage. Others of
the company are Adele IStel, vocalist:
Charles f. Wilson, Josie and Ida Fair
banks, Flora ' eldrOn, Charles L. Wal
ton, Harry Kelly, Lizzie Ennis and Il
chorus. The late season of the company
IN San francisco was very successful, it
drawing crowded houses constantly The
press united in pronouncing the piece, as
rewritten, very amusing, and. as farce
comedies go, very good throughout and
the company Us versatile and strong.
Monday next the Beebe- Barbour Com
pany begins a weeks engagement at the
Clunie Opera house, presenting first the
thTee-act comedy, "A Legal Document"
to be followed succeeding nights by
BLACK Diamonds" Shadows OF the
Homestead Joe, the Waif' She
and Chips From Old Blocks" The
prices range from 80 to 10 cents. and seats
will be on sale tomorrow morning for
the week. The troupe is led by Edwin
Barbour, playwright and actor. One Of
the attractions is little oracle Beebe. an
nounced as ''The Child Wonder" in
dramatic parts. The Cincinnati C0m1J1cr-
cjdL Gazette is quoted as pronouneing the
| girl a phenomenon, both in dramatic
work and III song. 1t speaks well of the
company and commeudS Barbour as Il
good comedian. The San Diego Sun.
speaking recently of the company, says
Its performances are excellent, and that
the fear Of their being poor, because of
the absence of much posting and an
nouncing of the troupe, was dispelled.
Indeed, the Sun is enthusiastic in it's
commentator.
There will be grand exhibition of his
torical and patriotic tableuax, to conclude
with ball, given by the Imp. Order of
Red Men of Sacramento at the old Pa
vilion on Washington's birthday, Febru-

THE TAX ROLL.
Shall It be Raised, or Shall the Rate
be Increased?
a Question that is Puzzling tho City
TrCSteeS-ViewS of Assessor
Buckley and others.

Nc definite results will be reached by
the City Board of Equalization for sew
eral days yet. Assessor Buckley wants
| to have the assessment roll raised from
$l4, sos, 900 to $l6 800, 900.
At Yesterdays session Of the board Mr..
Buckley said his method Of raising the
roll would be on the basis Of improve
ments, and to let the real estate stand.
He added that there is but 5000 delinquent
on last years roll.
Bankers f. r. Dray and William Beck
man were present at the request OF the
board and expressed their views on
several matters collateral to the subject
under consideration. Mr.. Dray said that
while the published statement OF the
banks financial condition was large, all
its property was not located in the limits
of Sacramento The bank paid taxes in
every county in the State, and had last
year paid $4,000 taxes on outside real
estate. The statement of the banks con-
dition made last September by Cashier
Hamilton, showed that the cash on hand
amounted to $40, l25, while the furniture
and pictures were valued at 81 900, max
ing $50, IDS, and that was what the bank
expected tC pay taxes upon.
Mr.. Beckman said his bank had most
Der when the return was made TO the AS
SCISSOR. 1t was there to be paid out on va
riouS loans. The banks were not trying
TO evade taxation. He added that the AS
SCISSOR should have more help. lie knew
men who 90 about the streets appearing
poverty stricken, vet Of his own knoWl-
edge many Of them are worth from $1,000
to $4,000. The Assessor Is not acquainted
with them and cannot tax their wealth.
He knew an old eXDreSSHan who has
s., 900, of which the Assessor probably
knows nothing about. The eXpressman,
he thought, was only assessed for an old
horse and d still older wagon.
Mr.. Dray also thought the Assessor
should have more assistance. The roll
should be SlS000,G0 instead of Sl4 GEO.,
Coz. lie did not, however, see how it
could be raised except on property that
had escaped taxation. An increase Of ten
per cent. all round would treat all parties
alike and no doubt prove satisfactory. In
conclusion be advised the board to in
crease the rate, instead Of trying to in
crease the roll.
Assessor Buckley held that all personal
property taxes should be collected at the
time they were assessed. Very often
firms and persons were assessed and then
removed from the city before the taxes
were due. In this way the city lost $780,,
600 from it's assessment roll by the re-
moval of the HuntingtOn-HOp kins Com
pany The Crocker Art Gallery used to
be assessed for 500, 600, and now it is city
property.
Mr.. Buckley also mentioned the loss of
nearly $4,000 from the roll by the re-
moval of Mrs. e. B. Croker.
After looking over the roll and study
ing its various features the board adj
journed for the day.

a Good Citizen, n Modest and Worthy
Man Relieved From Suffering.
A few weeks ago benefit concert was
given in aid of Albion Sanborn, the we'll
known tenor singer, who then lay upon
a sick bed. Mr.. Sanborn was then spoken
of by the press of the city as worthy
man, deserving well Of the community,
as one who had for years been more than
liberal in aiding good works in this city
with the musical talent with which he
was endowed. Mr.. Sanborn died yester-
day. His illness was long and distress
ing, and death came as a happy relief
from suffering. Mr.. Sanborn was for
many years employed in the Pattern-mai-
ing Department of the Southern Pacific
shops and was greatly liked by all his
fellow workmen. He was q very mod

But Bailey Says He VIII Not Prosecute
Him.
Frank Commit, the man who shot his
partner. Ed. Bailey, on Wednesday night,
was yesterday arrested by Chief Drew
and Officer Simmons. He had been hid
ing in house on Fourth street, between
X and L.
Ithas been learned that Commit, after the
shooting, walked through the Union
saloon on Second street and out the back
door; yet when Captain Lee was search
ing the house for him none of the oc-
cupants would admit having seen him.
The police expressed surprise, at the
time OF the shooting at seeing the no.
torious Kitty Farley and Josie Jackson
about the Fashion dive as it was sup
posed they had skipped to avoid prosecu-
ton on charge Of having robbed q man
of $3.50 in greenbacks. Just before their
bail was deposited by Bailey and Commit
these two worthless exchanged a lot of
greenbacks for gold and put up SlO0 each
for the women. The latter could not be
found when the time for their trial ar
rived.
The dive kept by these men and one
Ned Riley has been known as resort for
opium fiends, prostitutes, and all classes
OF degraded beings. When RECORD
UNION reporter asked fer information
about the shooting, on Wednesday night,
the little yellow-s1inned chap behind
