GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Levy and His Company Give a
Pleasant Entertainment to
Small House.

a Small House.
Jules Levy, the celebrated cor
netist, received an enthusiastic
greeting at the Grand on his open
ing night. His rotund figure shows
little of the five-year-old lad who, a
few years ago, in the city of Lon
don, was saving pennies to buy a
cOrnet, or of the nine-year-old who
earned the magnificent sum of six
pence a night in the pantomime of
the Drury Lane theatre. Since
then his reputation has become
world wide, and never was he in
better wind than when he appeared
before his audience last night.
His "Dixie," and "Home Sweet
Home" were alone well worth
the price of admission. Ed
ward Hesselberg, as the pianist of
the company, was encOred again
and again. His touch is wonder
fully masterful, and yet as soft as
it is strong. Stella Costa, as soprano,
has a clear, rich and full voice,
very clear in the upper notes. In
her earlier renditions there was an
apparent absence of real feeling in
her voice, but this was fully re-
deemed in the simple ballads that
followed as encores, for she was re-
called again and again. Her "Last
Rose of Summer" was very sweetly
given. Laura Dainty was the come
dian of the hour, all of her recita-
tions being either of the humorous
or of the semi-herOic cast. She has
good initiative powers and a fine
sense of humOr. Her work was
very rOundly applauded. Marc, as
magician, was fully the equal Of
Hermann in all that he under
took, barring that marvellous rap
idity of movement of the older
wizard that has no equal on the the
alter OF magic. The performance was
every way delightful one, and its
repetition tonight should draw a
good house.
The London Gaiety- people are
booked for a big crowd and a top
heavy house tomorrow night.

At the SPRINGS.

a large crowd assembled at San
Pedro springs yesterday afternoon
to witness the balloon ascension
and parachute drop by Mile. Stella
Robinson. While the balloon was
being slowly filled the crowd was
entertained by practice game Of
football, between members of the
Mission Athletes and San Antonio
clubs. Some good kicking was
shown, and there is every promise
of series of exciting games this
season. At D o'clock the balloon
assembled, and after attaining very
respectable height, the parachute
was cut loose, and the fair aero
nant dropped gracefully down to
mother earth, amid great applause.
She then took up a collection and
received 500 for her afternoons
work.

A Serious Accident.

Last night during the sham bull
fight on East street, in the rear of
the Monterey saloon, in the free

thrown by some unknown party,
and instead of piercing the bull, it

shoulder, infiicting a deep cash.
The man was taken to the drug
store of Chas. A. r. Campbell.
where the wound was dressed, and
he was conveyed to his home on

A CASHIERS MISTAKE.
Capehart Admitted Having Received
Too Much Cash.

Too Much Cash.
Saturday afternoon w. NJ. Cape
hart went to the banking house of
Z. c. Frost, and handed the cashier
a check written by Wright c. Neu-
man, the real estate agent. The
slip called for $40 in writing, and
5000 in figures at the bottom, which
had been enormously written. The
cashier, not paying close attention
to the order, noticed the figures
and gave Capehart 5000. When Il 0
books were balanced the mistake
was readily detected. One of the
clerks of the bank was de-
tailed to call on Mr.. Cape
hart and get $3.50, the
overpaid amount. When he inter-
viewed Capehart, the latter, it is
alleged denied having received the
amount, and the clerk returned to
the bank.
Late in the evening a city detec-
tive, accompanied by two bank ac-
cOuntants, went to see Capehart
and he was taken from his home
to the bank. After some discussion
he admitted having received $3.50,
more than was due him, and re-
turned $3.50; having spent $40 of
the banks money. He then gave a
mortgage on his horse and buggy
for the $40 and all was over.

WHAT TARIFF REFoR1 COSTS.

The american Economist has Just
taken an industrial census of the
country and shows some startling
changes as result of the advent Of
free trade Democracy into power. Out
of total of 6S4 industrial institu-
tions which employed 1884, hands
on Nov. 5, 1892, only 1880 were en-
ployed on Sept. 2, 1893, a loss of
about go per cent. The amount of
wages paid per week on Nov 5, 1892,
reached 81, 1852, 2SS. 80, but this amount
had decreased on Sept. 2. 1898 to $780,
436 "a. In other words the loss Of f.
nancial confidence and the threatened
radical changes of the tariff, cOnse-
Quent to the accession Of the Dem
ocratic party to control of the gov
eminent has resulted in the throw
ing of over 100000 hands out of en-
plOyment, and total loss in weekly
wages of 81 POP, 85136. II legislation
is agreed upon which will tend to re-
store Confidence financially and the
country finds out what it is to expect
in the way of tariff charges, there will
probably be some little improvement
in the matter of employment, but it
will doubtless be at reduced wages,
for any cut in the tariff which tends
to increase imports, must be met ty
less manufacturing at decrease in
the wages paid. But the matter has
not stopped merely with it's influence
upon the employees of the industrial
institutions referred to. 1t has re-
suited in decrease in the volume Of
business in the counties in which
these industries are located, to the ex-
sent Of about Al per cent. and touches
thepeople everywhere. This is the price
which the people are paying for the
experiment Of Democratic rule, an
experiment so costly they will hard
ly care to attempt it again for
another generation.

PUNISH THOSE RESPONSIBLE.

The terrible collision which occurred
at Battle Creek, Mich, yesterday
morning is one of the worst which
has taken place during the worlds
fo,ir season nd what adds to the
it might have easily
h led. The conductor and
Ell ~ of one Of the trains disobeY-.
ed orders, and as . result, more than
n score If liyes. were hurled into eter-
nifty without note of warning and
fifty or sixty more were badly injured.
The case is one of criminal negligence,
and the parties responsible therefor
should be and no doubt will be prose-
cuted to the full extent Of the law.
1t is duty which the railway author
tiles owe not only to the public, but
to themselves. If such accidents are
allowed to be smOothed over, and
nothing done with those who are too
blame, it can not help but have
more or less effect upon the travelling
public. If people are not to be assur-
ed of their safety to as full an extent
as possible while travelling, then to a
greater or less extent they will not
venture on such occasions.
The Jackson accident and Battle
Creek accident are, from all the &C
counts at hand, the result Of gross
carelessness or disobedience and
should be treated as such. The pub
lie demands that all matters of this
kind should be followed up closely
and the responsibility placed where it
belongs If it falls upon the train
hands, they should be made to pay
the penalty for their carelessness and
neglect. Where higher officials are re-
SpOnsible, they should be held in the
some manner. A few lessons Of this
kind would prove most valuable in
protecting the travelling public from
some of the dangers which Turk upon
the rail, and especially in times when
travel is as heavy as at the present
time.

AN EXPLODED CLAIM,

One of the burdens of the cry of the
silver advocate against repeal of the
purchase clause of the Sherman law,
has been that the west is debtor to
the east, and this move is simply a
scheme on the part of the east to eX-
act payment in gold. The inference
they carry is that the south and west
owes several dollars where the east
east owes one. AS result of this
charge the Pioneer Press has been
looking over the census returns of the
mortgaged Indebtedness of the ..vari-
Gus states, and shows that if there
was anything in the argument of the
silverite, which there is not, his claim
would not hold good. Regarding the
statistics Of mortgaged indebtedness
the Pioneer Press says:
These show that the burden of each
