PLANTATION by Nine. Blavatsky of certain
stanZas OF an archaic manuscript called

was taken down in Sen2ar, the secret
sacerdotal language, from the words OF
divine teachers at the very beginning OF
the present or fifth race.
From the teachings OF this manuscript,
1t is claimed, were derived the earliest
Chinese bibles, the oldest books OF the
kabbala, and the sacred volumes of the
Chaldean, Egyptian and Indian religions;
that there exist also many ancient COM
mentaries on this manuscript. supple

The cast IN other respects is strong and the
supernumerary support Includes some
sixty people, with large number OF
figure people. The Oakland Times of the
9th inst. speaking of the production Of
the piece in that city, said in a two-column
review: There are times in the expert
ence of every theater-goer when the mind
IS In doubt at some period OF the play as
to whether it is really being entertained
by drama, or whether it is really an OBJ
server OF actual scenes. This was the
case last night when Fanny Davenport
presented Cleopatra" 1t pronounces
the scenes as of rare lOVeliness and tri-
umphs of scenic art and luxurious hit
tings. The second act sets it thinks the
best, and the trueSG ever mounted to
show the luxury and elegance surround
ing Roman rulers at the hight of
the grandeur of the imperial city.
The prices charged here are higher than
usual to this community, but are the
same that prevailed in san Francisco,
Oakland and all other points, and the
management of the company declares are
not disprOpOrtiOnate to the great cost
necessary TO produce the piece with all
its original fittings, scenery and cos
tumery and OF carrying so large
company chorus and stage force. The
play Will be given three nights and the
engagement will conclude on the fourth
with Miss Davenport's Interpretation of
LA Tosca," in which, as in Cleopatra"
it is believed she has no successful rival,
certainly none upon the American stage.
Tonight at the Clunie Opera-hou the
stock company will present William
Halley's border drama, as revised and
adapted by Mr.. Ward, entitled Mick
Floyd, or the Train Robbers" a great
deal OF pains has been taken to prepare
the piece, improve its business and give
to it the necessary acting vigor. Mr..
Ward is of the opinion that it is now
capital drama. and that it will take inn
mediately with the amusement loving
public. 1t will be mounted with new
scenery, some original mechanical fleets
and be cast to the full strength OF the

ADJUSTMENTS

At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing Miss Fanny Davenport will present
Sardou's Cleopatra" Owing to the
length of this spectacular tragedy the
management earnestly requests intend
ing spectators to be IN their seats so early
that the curtain may be sent up at s
O'Clock promptly. Let us hope that this
request will be needed and the first act
not be spoiled for those who are in place
by late-comers arriving and disturbing
the audience by seeking their seats i'll the
midst of the act. So much has already
been said in these columns concerning
the play as given by Miss Davenport that
it is not necessary to go over the whole
ground again to inform the public re-
garding the drama ard the company. 1t
may, however, be stated that the text
used is that prepared by Sardou for Bern
hardt: that Bernhard for reasons obvi-
Gus in some regard and for others purely
personal between her and Sardou is dis
inclined to appear in the piece; that Miss
Davenport, by stature and figure, as we'll
as dramatic ability fitted for the play, has
procured the right to produce it in this
country. She has mounted it at great
cost and given ii such a stage setting as
only few pieces have been treated to. For

been engaged i'll putting up the immense

Elk Groves Foul Nuisance

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN: AS your paper
is taken by all the better class of people,
we feel sure that you will print the fol-
lowing letter in your paper:
In the nice, little, prosperous town of
Elk Grove there exists terrible nuis-
ance that is causing sickness, and damag-
ing the price of property. 1t is a hog
corral not more than two hundred feet
from the main street, and in the most
thickly settled part of the town, the
owner of which has made his brag that
though people may kick all they want to,
they cannot make him remove it.
The stencil from said pen can be smelled
for quarter of mile, and the wallow is
polluting the water of all the wells in the
vicinity. We have applied to the Board
of Supervisors, and so far have had moth
ing done.
This pen, containing between thirty
and forty hogs, has been filling the town
with sickness for more than six months.
If any one can suggest good plan to us
to get rid of this disease breeding nuis-
ance it will be thankfully received by not
few families in Elk Grove. Respect
fully, Mrs. BELLE Rowe,

Ole Johnson's Discovery Along the
River Above Washington.
The dead body of man was found by
Ole Johnson of Washington while walk
ing up the trail which leads along the
river bank, on Saturday morning.
1t was opposite what is known as Rocky
Point, and the man had evidently died
during the night from exposure, as a
woman saw him walk past her house the
night before.
Deputy Coroner Newton took possess
sion of the body, and held an inquest on
it. He was fine looking man of about 90
years old, wearing good suit of dark
clothes and good pair of boots, which
had been recently blacked. His beard
and mustache were iron-gray. A red
bandana was wrapped around his head
and his coat had been used for a pillow.
In one of his pockets was found large,
ivory-handled knife, a piece of tobacco
and eighty cents in money.
The jury rendered verdict to the effect
that the deceased came to his death by
natural causes and that his name was un-
known.

Noting some of the discrepancies be-

proposed a theory of the evolution OF
man and the universe from an entirely
different basis-a trinity o. spirit, matter
and energy considering the three as CO.
existent, eternal aspects of the One
Great Reality, that absolute of which
nothing can be predicated.
This theory is based upon the uniform

being, of the truth Of the axiom also that
''the history of the individual is the his
tory of the race and the history OF the
Kosmos"; and furthermore it is based
upon that body of secret knowledge
