UNITY CHuRcH.-At the Unity club,
last evening, Mr.. Frank A. Gibson read
an exhaustive paper on the Torrens
System of Land Transfer, fully explain
ing the beneficial results which would
follow the adoption of the method.
Mr.. Gibson's long experience as an
sbstrscter and searcher of records rem
ders him peculiarly fit to express an
opinion on this subject, and the fact
that he believes il desirable to adopt
the system will be accepted as strong
argument in its favor by the people Of
this community where Mr.. Gibson is go
well known. The subject possesses Pc
culiar interest at this time, from the
fact that, under bill passed by the last
legislature, commission was appointed
to investigate this system and report to
the next session of the legislature az to
the dssirsbility of its adoption. 1t is
understood that the report Of the COM
mission will be. favorable to the adop-
ton of the system, and that q bill will
be presented to the legislature embody-
ing the main features of the Torrens
system.
Mr.. Gibeon's idea lie that the matter
should not be lost sight of in the next
campaign and that candidates should be
chosen who are known to be in favor of
the reform.
Ex-Mayor Hazard also delivered 20
minutes talk on the subject Manhood in
Politics, in which he explained his pro-
posed system of primary elections, by
sending the names of would-be dele
gates to the voters whose names appear
on the great register, and having them
return the ballot with their choice
marked thereon, to the secretary of the
central committee. His remarks were
warmly applauded by the audience.

Los ANGELES THEATRR.-Most excel
lent reports of both the performances
and the business of A Railroad Ticket
company, who appear here tonight, are
heard from sill quarters.
The piece this season is said to be
better and brighter than ever before,
having recently been reconstructed and
enriched by the addition OF much new
material, particularly in the direction of
music. The company has no star and
needs none, for it is an aggregation of
the cleverest people identified with md
sical farce, and there is scarcely mem
Der of the cast who does not make an
individual hit. The Railroad Ticket ia
a strictly up to date farce comedy, if not
little way beyond, and should be
crested with packed house.

UNITY CHURcH.-In studying the phe-
nomena OF ethics, or, as Herbert Spencer
would say. the data of ethics" Mr..
Charles Frank Jones, who is. to lecture
upon the subject of Health this even
ing, perceived that the three-fold nature
OF life-the moral, intellectual and phys
ical qualities opened up a very inter
esting field for studious research and
with come marvellous results. One of
these results is the beautiful scheme OF
complex analogy, which appears to un-
fold q correspondence between physical,
psychological and sociological phenome-
ma, and by the processes OF simple logic
MIR. Jones hopes to demonstrate how the
past can be deduced and the future pre-
dicted.
