ADJUSTMENTS

There was a fair house at the Clunie
last night, when 'Oliver Twist was
played. The piece was given with spirit,
and won plentiful and appreciative ap-
plause. Little George Cooper as oliver
proved entirely successful. The child IS
precocious in remarkable degree. She
reads the part given her not only with
intelligence but with feeling, and gives
color and warmth 10 her expression.
Her Oliver Twist is remarkably strong
pesonation. We doubt If one boy of
even twice her years out OF hundred
boys could be found to equal her in the
part. Miss Woodthorpe's Nancy Sykes
was capital piece of work, as good as
anything she has done. In the fifth
act, the scene between her and Bill
realistic and thrilling Imaginable
Mr.. Craig's Bill Sykes was strong one.
We have seen many good actors in the
part, and Mr.. Craig will compare well
with some OF the best. Fred Cooper was
very clever as Artful Dodger. Mr.. De
Lano very amusing Bundle. The
other characters were by Mr..Ferguson
as Pagan, Mr.. Benrirno as Brownlow.
Miss CarInan as Rose, Miss Norton as
Susan, Mr.. Magrath as Tobey, Mrs.
Bishop as Corney, Mr.. Wood as Fang.
The scenic effect of London bridge APP
proach by moonlight was excellent
credit to the artist, Mr. Duckett. The
piece will be given tonight, at a matinee
this afternoon, and for the last time to-
morrow Sunday night. Monday 'iM'liss''

HAPPY YOUNG PEOPLE.
Sunday-School Entertainment at t
Westminster PreSbYterian Church

Sunday-School Entertainment at the
Westminster Presbyterian Church.
A social was held in the parlors of
Westminster Presbyterian Church for
the Sunday school children Friday even
ing, which large gathering of the young
people thoroughly enjoyed.
After prayer by n. n. Denton the fol-
lowing programme was rendered: Instru-
mental solo, Miss Annie Aitken; recita-
ton, Flora Hogdon; recitation, Emma
Lang; song, Bessie Logan, Ella Jones,
Flora Hogdon; recitation, Grace Nelson;
recitation, Alice Jones; duet, by two OF
the young ladies, delightfully."- rendered,
but who We're too modest to let their
names appear; recitation, Bessie Jack
son; recitation, Minnie Stevenson.
Alter this programme cake and lemon
ade were handed around till all were sup
piled, when games were in order for half
an hour-"Faga Baga," "Bean Bag, -
Bean Class" Going to Jerusalem y
etc.-which innocent amusements more
than delighted the little people.
At the close medley of popular airs
was played by Mr.. Mccartney on the
accordion, which, under his skillful
handling, set the nerves tingling and a
wilderness Of little hands and feet to
keeping time to the merry music.
The large gathering, mostly children,
passed jolly and very happy two hours,
and the ones in charge more than felt re-
paid for their work, for such efforts are
1ully appreciated, which cannot always
be said of entertainment Of children of
larger growth"

CAUGHT AT ROSEVILLE.
Arrest Of Frank Lee, One of the Sup
posed Robbers of John Wise.
He Resists Arrest and Damages an
Oh1cer-Brought Back to Sacra-
mento-Women Arrested.

Police Captain Lee learned on Wednes-
day night that negro named Frank Lee
was concerned in the panel-game rob-
berry of an Oakland man named Wise, on
Tuesday night-that in fact, he was at the
bottom of the affair. The Captain knew
that the negro had been a patient at the
County Hospital, where he had made the
acquaintance of Hattie Beard and Bertha
Dufour, so he telephoned to DIR. White to
know if his patient had returned.
The doctor replied that the man Lee
had been there all day, but started again
for the city; that soon after he left Consta-
bic Brissel came along in a buggy and
gave him ride to town. The Captain
saw Brissel. who said he had few hours
before brought Frank Lee into town and
left him at Tenth and X streets, not
knowing that he was wanted by the po-
lice.
Captain Lee then sent word in all direc-
tons. and had the trains leaving town
that night closely watched. being conf
dent that the robber would make an effort
to reach some other place.
Yesterday word was received that he
had been caught at Roseville. officer Nc
Laughlin was detailed TO bring him here.
Wise was robbed of $3.50, and the sup
position is that the prisoner got away
with most of the money and that his fe-
male pals had very little.
Lee had walked to Roseville and ar
rived there about noon. After loafing
around here awhile he went into a
butcher shop and purchased some meat.
While there Constable Lamphrey caught
sight of him, and placed him under ar
rest. Lee resisted and knocked the Con-
stable down. He is a powerful man. and
when two butchers came to the Con-
stables assistance he fioored them, too.
Then a number of citizens took hand
in the affair. and the negro was hand
cuffed. When searched pistol was
found upon him. On the way back to this
city he told officer Mclaughlin that if
Lamphrey had attempted to arrest him at
night he would have killed him rather
than be taken. Lee refused to talk about
the robbery.
Last night officers Mclaughlin and
Gibson rearrested Hattie Reed, and also
took into custody Minnie Dufour and a
woman named Thompson. who are said
to be implicated in the robbery.

The scheld Brewery Inquiry.

For some weeks past experts have been
at work on the books of Scheld's Sacra-
mento Brewery, concerning which there
have been rumors of irregularities in the
matter of complying with the revenue
laws.
The experts have, it is said, discovered
several minor irregularities, but not of
sufficient magnitude TO warrant the seiz-
ing of the brewery. A complete report of
the investigation will be sent to Washing
ton. and ii the latter authorities deciae e
that the brewery has infringed on the
revenue laws it is possible that it will be

AFTER THE GRIP.

The Grip Responsible for More Deaths
After Recovery Than During its
Course-Hosv to Avoid the Danger.
Grip, in itself, is bad enough, debilitating
enough, but it is the after effects, the slowness
of recovery, that give ii its great danger. In
most cases, the person did not have sufficient
vitality TO rally after the disease itself had
passed. The forces ofnature were too weak to
contend with the debility which the Grip had
left.
1t is sad to think how many people have
died who might have been saved If mature had
been properly assisted and fortified after the
Grip had been driven from the system Many
physicians realized this fact, and assisted their
patients over the dangerous after effects by
hracing UP and stimulating their systems
This was. and can be done in but one way,
and that is by the steady and moderate use of
some pure yet powerful stimulant There is
but one absolutely pure and medicinal stimu-
liant known TO the profession and to the pub
lie. and that is Duffy's Pure Malt whisky
The most prominent scientists and physicians
OF the land indorse its purity and value II
* not a new whisky, il has been before the
hubble for years. 1t is not cheap decoction
lint pure distiIlation. ii imparts q tone TO the
system possible in no other manner and
sal,ds the blood coursing through the veins
eyifh renewed vigor. 1t is superior in every
1eSpect and however much any unscrupulolls
arnpgist or grocer may lead you to believe to
the contrary, do not be deceived.

NOT A BURGLAR

Simply the Victim of Oft-Repeated
Doses of Alcohol.
Yesterday the police released John
Howard, the man who was found asleep
Tor apparently so) in the kitchen of res
idence on Wednesday night, and arrested
on suspicion of being burglar.
1t appears that Howard had been at the
Railroad Hospital for some time, having
suffered severe injury to one of his
hands. On the night in question he had
gone down town, got to drinking, and
was we'll loaded when he started to lind
the hospital. Thinking he had struck
the right place, he crawled into the
kitchen of the residence referred to and
went asleep.

Miss Gale had not nearly so large an
audience at the Metropolitan Theater last
night as her elegant personation OF Par
thenia in "Ingomar, the Barbarian" de-
served. 1t was as finished a performance
and as beautiful a picture as was her
Rosalind. Mr.. Clarke as Ingomar was
stronger by far than as Orland, and gave
evidences OF promise that forecast for him
a career of great dramatic success. The
company throughout was excellent last
night-indeed, a better balanced cast we
do not recall in that order OF plays.
The WILDER Company is announced to
appear at the Metropolitan Theater Mon
matinees Wednesday and Saturday. The
pieces to be played are Monday and
Wednesdays matinee, Shadows of a
York;; Wednesday. Monte Cristo";
Thursday, Rip Van Nyinkle"; Friday,
Escaped from the Law'': matinee, Sat-
| urday, Two Orphans; Saturday night,
The Clemenceau Case; Sunday night,
The Child Stealer." The company is
headed by James b. Mccain and Miss
Lizzie Kendall. The troupe appeared
here some lnenths ago, and playing at
low prices did good business, For the
present engagement the prices are fixed
at 10, 20 and 20 cents, with few seats at

fair cost of a genuine article,
they will lend the only help
