ADJUSTMENTS

1t is to be regretted that so evenly bal
anced, well equipped and talented a
stock company as the Frawley troupe
should have been compelled TO open its
season at the Metropolitan Theater to a
small audience, as was the fact last night
1t is true That the people are much en-
gagged just now IN attending to guests
but surely there are amusement lovers
enough III the city who are accustomed to
20 TO the theAter regularly 10 recognize
merit when IL appears by generous at
tendance at the Initial performance of an
engagement intended to be a long one.
The play was the low comedy 'All the
Comforts of Home" That il was thor
oughly well presented and played with
animation and in fine spirit proves how
true to his calling is the true artist, who
considers the few who come TO witness
his effort entitled to as finished q per-
formance as the many. The play will be
repeated this evening and ought 10 draw
full house. There is no hesitaDcy in
saying that 1t was given better last night
because less boisterously ana with less
loud acclaim from the actors than when
played here some years ago by Palmer
company, which WAS heralded as iaultless.
The Frawley Company is in fact one OF the
best and neatest combinations that has
appeared here III years. There is no weak
timber IN 1t, and there appears no glariug
inequalities. Every person in the troupe
is level with fine ability in bis and her
line OF dramatic work. Mr.. trawley is
perhaps in his Interpretation of the lead
ing role a bit too much repressive. 4
shade more OF ylvacity Will better the
character he assumes. Not that MIR.
Frawley may not well defend his inter-
pretatlon, but something more of mani
festation of care and anxiety on
the part of the reck less nephew he imper-
sonates, il would seem, would put tie
character into closer sympathy with
the other merry people OF the comedy.
Miss Archer, charlningly graceful and
handsome, as well accom- plished act
ress; Miss Phora McAllister, who com
pletely sinks personality in the character
Miss Bates, tho daughter of one the most
popular and accomplished OF old-time
actresses and iavorito III Sacrameno,
q pretty, natural, graceful artist, III
the Juvenile role; Miss Hope Ross and
Miss Lansing Rowan, both capable and
vivacious people-these are the women
of tho krawley company, and give To it
grace. beauty and dramatic ability. The
men are. wiki Mr.. Frawley in the lead
who is an actor OF finished style aud SUI
perior capacity; George w. Leslie, a cap
ital low comedian; ii. ID. Black more, one
OF the cieverest comedy actors and as
sunling an old-man role admirably;

an artist of merit; Wilson Enos, &. w.
King. David Rivers, George Bosworlh, +.

an Awful Death.
NJ. J. Shelley, the motorman on one of
the cars on the Cemetery line, is certainly
au expert at his business and wide
awake man.
Last night as his car was on its way up
* street, and just as it reached Ninth
street, lady, gentleman and little girl
came sailing down the crowded thorough
fare on bicycles. The child was not rid

ginner. and Shelley took quick c0gni-
zance of the fact and threw oil the current
while the little cyclist was yet some
yards away.
But he acted none too soon, for the
child came wobbling along, and realizing
her danger be put down his lever as
quickly and etfectually RS he knew how.
Just then came the collision. The wheel
went slap against the dash board and the
child was thrown under the front plat
form.
The bystanders were almost paralyZed
with horror, as they supposed the girl
was run over and crushed to death. \
crowd quickly gathered and she was
pulled out from beneath the car. Thanks
TO the motoman's presence of mind. she
was found not 10 have received scratch.

"All the Comforts of Home'' will be re-
peated tonight for the last time.

After being closed some months the
Clunie Opera-house was opened last
night to good audience by Leavitts
No. Variety Company. With two ex-
ceptions its members scored success.
Aside from these the company gives a
very entertaining and varied perform
ance. Charles and Alice Archer are a
musical and merry team, meeting the
popular taste. Miss Alice suffered from
a slight cold last night probably, but she
is very clever singer, and Charles is an
inimitable mimic. Their team work was
pleasing and satisfactory. Dave Mont
gomery, mimic, singer, monologulst ana
facial contortiouist, is exceedingly clever,
a funny man OF more than ordinary
capacity. Tile Morrisey and Jose La
fontaine, a soprano team, won the Iuil
favor of the audience. Nivaclty, naturai-
ness. ease, freedom without otfense, anil
nation without apparent effort, char
terized their work and set them forward
as favorites at once. Thomas Z. Leary,
singing comedian, is good performer,
a strong card in the company. NlZarras,
the Spanish ring athlete, is one OF the best
athletic performers WHO has ever ap-
peared here His number gave entire
satisfaction and proved 'a leader" Billy
Behan and Eva Dakin gave clever varl-
ETY. act that won applause deservedIy.
Behan with the concertina. by the way,
is an artist. The act by Brghtling and
LePage was very fair. We have had as
good. and better, but it was well re-
ceved. Adams CarmincitS Up 10 Date
adds little or no strength 10 the company.
Without being decidedly weaa. IL IS not
strong. CDfton's female inpersonation
should be displaced by a better mum ber.
The company plays to the olG-tlme
popular prices. 1t will reappear tonight
and throughout the week, and having at
the start caught on" with the public, 1t
is safe 10 say that its season is assured OF
success.

MINERS CONVENTION.
Very small Attendance at the An

nual Meeting at Nevada.
Nevada Daily Transcript, August 29th.I
Notwithstanding the annual meeting OF
the County Miners Association had been
thoroughly advertised, there was but a
small acknowledgement over thirty per-
sons being present. The meeting was
called to order by President All. Treg-
idgO. and |. j. Rofe acted as Secretary.
The proceedings OF the last annual meet
ing and the Secretary and Treasurer's re-
ports were read and approved.
All Of the old officers were re-eIected
The Executive Committee was in
stracted to select delegates for the State
Miners Convention, which will be held
in San francisco on the l4th of October
President Tregidgo made q short
speech, and among other things stated
that the State Association was not carry
ing out the ideas for which our County
Association had been formed. That they
were attending to more side issues than
the main one, VIZ: That of the resump-
ton of hydraulic mining without injury
to the farmer. The ideas expressed bv
the President, with one or two excep-
tiOns, seemed to meet with the views of
those present.
l.. 5. Calhins made a motion that the
Executive Committee prepare resolutions
embodying about the views expressed by
the President.
Judge Walling offered an amendment,
which was carried, that the Executive
Committee be instructed to call meeting
OF the delegates prior TO the meeting of
the State Miners Convention, and let
them take such action as they saw fit
This created considerable discussion,
and from tho tenor of the discussion it
could be easily seen that the course of the
State Miners Association was not in
dorsed by those present at the convention
to-day.
Thus ended the great mass meeting
which the San Francisco Examiner pro-
claimed would be held in this city to-day
to condemn the railroad company, and
the course pursued by Senator Ford and
Assem- blyman Thomas at the meeting of
the Executive Committee of the State
Miners Association which was held in
San francisco about ten days ago. If
resolution had been offered 10 indorse the
course of the gentlemen named above at
the meeting referred to. it would have
been carried by little short of n unani-
nous vote. There is a great deal of feel
ing against the State Miners Association
for the reason that Il few leaders are rum
Mug the whole machinery in their own
peculiar way, regardless of the opinions
Of those most interested. The Nevada
County delegates will go TO the State Con-
vention with the intention of having
more 10 say about the affairs of the insti-
tuition than they have i'll the past.

The Committee on Accommodations for

nodations for 500 visitors reported to
them. They have not had an oppor-
tunity to inspect the rooms, but people
living in the city who wish to secure ac-
commodations for their friends can do so
by calling at III * street. AS it is esti-
mated that there will be many more
visitors to the carnival than accommoda-
tions have been secured for, it is hoped
that citizens will show their public spirit
and zeal for the fair name OF the city by
proffering such rooms as they can spare
TO tho committee, in order that no visitors
may be unable to find lodgings.
