Although the band will make things a
little lively on the trip, there were no dis
play banners nor anything suggestive of a
boom" trip. Everything, as Secretary
Carman said, was to be conducted on Sc
rious and business-like basis.
The first stop was arranged for MERGED.
Going at high rate of speed it was ex-
pected to reach there at 8 o'clock, where an
hours stop would be made to enjoy the
citizens demonstration. Then on to
Fresno, where another stop was arranged
for at II 80. From there the trip would re-
main unbroken by stoppage until Los
Angeles was reached. It was expected to
reach Los Angeles by 10 o'clock this
morning.

THE WEEKS NEW PLAYS,
First Performance at Stock.
wells Under Its New
Management.
Dorothy Morton's New RoIe-"The
Country Sport" at the
California.

There was crowded house at the open
ing of StockwelPs Theater last night under
it's new management. The building had
been thoroughly cleaned and renovated,
and looked bright and attractive.
Joseph X. Emmett Jr. and his COM
pany, in Fritz in a Madhouse," kept
all through the performance. The
gruesome name of the play is by
no means fulfilled in its development,
for the only madhouse to which the audi
ence is introduced is a fashionable board
ing-house, which was formerly DR..
O'Riley's private lunatic asylum, and
which Fritz and his friend, the long-lost
Charley O'Riley, think is still the abode Of
the demented.
Some very humorous scenes result from
their anxiety not to contradict any one, for
fear of goading them on into an outbreak
of insanity.
Their tactics result at last in their being
mistaken for lunatics themselves.
Joseph K. Emmett is the star character,
around which all the others in the play
merely revolve like satellites. The role of
Fritz gives him an opportunity OF display
ing versatility, of which he is not slow to
avail himself. His acting last night was
bright and sympathetic, though marked
by broad lines of humor which partook
of pure farce. It was adapted, however, to
the racy comic situations. Emmett s
dancing was graceful and humorous, and
he showed himself to be an adept in the
difficult art of yodling, but his singing was
marked by absence OF voice.
The performer who came nearest sharing
honors with the star was Baby Sinnot.
This diminutive lady, who is playing her
fifth season, is but eight years old, but her
long theatrical experience has not made
her lose any of her ehildishness, indeed, it
would be hard to find a more childish child
than she appeared. Baby Sinnot brought
down the house in her dancing with Fritz
Miss Emily Lytton acted naturally in
her scenes with Fritz, but she appeared to
be laboring under the desire to speak with
some brogue or accent which she had not
perfectly mastered and which made her
speak with a lisp.
Hudson Liston gave a good character
study of Uncle Joe Parker, the vulgar old
millionaire, whose son was ashamed to in
troduce his dad" to his rich friends and
persuaded him to pass himself off
as Mr.. Jones' There was touch of genu-
inc pathos in his acting when he learned
from these pretentious friends that the boy
on whom he dotted was ashamed of him.
The rest of the cast was well supported,
and the orchestra, under the direction of
E. E. Schmitz, was above the average
theater orchestra

The Press Association will remain in Los

will go to Pasadena and Mount Echo. To-
night, at the latter place, they will hold
their regular meeting, returning to Los
Angeles Wednesday morning In the
afternoon a reception will be rendered the
Press Association by the city of Los
Angeles at whose special invitation they
visit that rapidly growing city. Mr.. j. A.
Filcher has been selected to respond to the
address of welcome. During the reception
the honorable decoration of the badge OF
the association will be conferred on the
man who shipped the first carload of
oranges from California.
The recipient of this honor will be one of
two persons-J. w. Wolfskill or J. de
Barth Shorb, both of Los Angeles 1t was
stated yesterday by those who claimed to
know that to Mr.. Wolfskill would be given
the badge of honor, he making shipment
in April, 1877, few weeks ahead of his
competitor. In this connection it is
worthy of note that eighteen years ago the
freight on a. carload of oranges to New
York was $3.50, as against present cost of
about $3.50.
On Wednesday night, after the illumi-
mated parade, the train will be run to
Santa Barbara, the excursionists waking
up in that beautiful city on the morning
of Thursday, the 18th. They will remain
there all day witnessing the splendid floral
spectacle, Battle of the Flowers"
which takes place at 2 P. M. After the
days festivities are ended the train will
be run to either Redlands or Riverside,
spending Friday at one of these places, re-
turning to Los Angeles in the afternoon.
They will remain in that city until Satur-
day night in order to witness the closing
festivities of la fiesta starting north.

AnInanranca Suit.

Judge Daingerheld's court yesterday was
fully occupied, as several moIe may be, in
the suit of Henry Koch against the Commercial
Union Insurance Company and six other in
surance companies. The plaintiff is the as
signee of Walter Metz. Metz was the proprie-
tor of a glove and hosiery store on Market
street. and in September last the store burned
down There was insurance amounting to
some S21 900. Metz claimed that he lost by
the fire about 500, 900. The insurance COM
panies resisted payment. The defense of the
Companies, represented by T. c. Van Ness, is
that Metz was responsible for the fire and that
the total loss was but about $500, and that
having resorted 20 fraud in making his proof
of loss he can now recover nothing.

LIKE ARIZONA WHIST.
Judge Hebbard Gives an Opinion on a
NOtary's Powers.


Notary's Powers.
In the case of McGlynn against Selig-
man, Banker Lilienthal was called upon
to give his testimony before a notary.
There was question as to the voting of
stock pledged to secure loan, and Mr..
Lilienthal was told to produce his letters
and letter-book concerning the stock in
question. Upon the advice OF his attorney
the correspondence was not produced, and
the matter came before Judge Hebbard
yesterday for ruling.
The court ruled that the witness whose
deposition was being taken might be Or
dered to produce exhibits and to answer
questions, but he could not be compelled
to do so; that the notary must accept the
statement of the witness as to the relevancy
Of the testimony. This decision reminds
one of the Arizona whist rule, which pro-
vides that when a man has neither ace,
face nor trump, he has a right to call a
new deal. He may call for it, but he does
not get it.

The scene at the Oakland mole just before
engine AL pulled out with its burden of
brains and od-fellowship was an inter-
esting one, though the thoroughness of the
preliminary arrangements made confusion
noticeable only by its absence. Every
member of the party seemed to feel par
ticularly good over something, vainly try
ing to tell his neighbor of the beautiful
trip before them, and incidentally relating
some joke to fill in time.
Mr.. Charles NJ. Shortridge, editor of the

Herald and Mr.. Finley Anderson, Pacific

laugh that followed the reception of a

number.
About the baggage-car, however where
the really ''good things" are generally sup

centered and the largest crowd gathered.

organ, will be held at premium by all
lovers of mechanical art and literary
genius. The policy of the paper has not
been determined. though the fourth page
