bundle wrapped up in an old alpaca coat
lying on the steps. Stirring it with his
cane he heard noise like young puppy
and saw movement of the bundle. de
soon discovered il to be an infant, appar-
emily few hours old, and he took it into
the house, where Mrs. Todd and Mrs.
Luce cared for the little stranger.
AT first it was supposed that someonei
wishing to make present to the man
ayers of the theater and knowing Of the
disparity in their families, had left it
there for Mr.. and Mrs. Ward, being igno-
rant of their proper address, but further
examination disclosed a note pinned to
the child's clothing and directed to Mrs.
Clayton. asking that the child be sent to
the Foundlings' Home, which was done.
The infant is a female and nice healthy
child with good features. 1t is conjec-
tured that the person leaving it either did
not wish to risk exposure by leaving it at
Mrs. Clayton's, where the electric light
illuminated the front and side of the
house. or that it was intended to leave it
at the house of Mrs. Huntoon, who is one
of the managers of the home.

1t is common justice to record the fact
that the orchestra at the Clunie Opera
house during the past week has furnished
programmes of music Of unusual excel
Ience, and that the conduct of the or
| chestra under Professor Emil Dreyfous'

ing wanting. During this week with the

fOus promises a programme Of music of
new attractiveness.

ance of group of South Sea Islanders

pie. The company plays on the evening
OF the 1lth inst. Miss Lipman appears as
d vlyacious American society girl with a
strong penchant for athletic sports: Mr.
Mann as a bashful German musician de-
voted to art Mr.. Hirshb berg as Yankee
farmer. All three are strong comedy
parts.

. The impression prevails among the
hunters that the law prohibits the killing
of wild geese with large bore guns. This
is a mistake, as will be seen from Section
626 of the Penal Code. which was
amended by the last Legislature as fol-
lows:
Every person who shall use shotgun
Of larger caliber than that commonly
