The Christmas Examinations Are Be-
ing Held This Week.
The Christmas examinations at Sacra-
mento Institute began yesterday and will
continue every day during the week.
The pupils in each class will undergo q
searching investigation of the various
subjects which they have been studying
during the term. The examinations will
be both oral and written, and merits and
standing for the term will be determined
by percentage accurately taken.
slThe exercises yesterday were very in
teresting, the little fellows of the prepare
tory department holding forth. There
was a large attendance, and all were
greatly pleased with the efforts of the
little fellows. The ex ercises were as fol-
lows:

SEEMS TO QUITE FILL THE BILL.
The New Combination Railroad and
Wagon Bridge.
All Trains Now Pass Over It, and
Road Vehicles Meet No
DISTINCTIONS.

The 11:20 train from San Francisco
yesterday was the first regular train to
cross the new bridge. 1t had twelve
heavy coaches. All the succeeding
trains also crossed on the new structure.
used at ali.
AT present the effect is marred by the
presence of the old bridge, but as soon
as that is removed people will begin to
realize that the new one is much more
imposing structure than the other, the
incline approaches giving it the appear
ance of great length.
The overhead roadway cannot we'll
help leaping into instant favor, as by it
both foot-passengers and vehicles avoid
the danger of crossing the gridiron of
tracks that line the river front, and on
which trains and switch engines are
continually passing back and forth, to
the great peril of the unwary The vex-
atlouS waits are also done away with.
Formerly, when train was nearly due,
the bridge Waterman was obliged to
give notice to people that they could
not cross until the train had passed,
and many man has fumed and ragged
impotently at delay that he could i'll
afford to suffer, but which regard for
his safety rendered absolutely unavoid-
able.
Hereafter, except on the compare
lively few occasions when the draw is
open, vehicles and passengers can
cross at all times without fear, and
when the draw is open the automatic
gates will close, thus avoiding all dan
ger of accidents.
There is an esthetic side to the ques-
ton also. From the overhead way
fine view of the river can be obtained
in both directions, thing that was
hardly possible on the old bridge, and
the greater elevation adds much to the
attractiveness of the scene. 1t is safe to
say that the roadway will speedily be-
come a favorite place of promenade
with people for this and other reasons,
and that they will discover new beauties
in the river from their elevated point of
view.
The Second street extension is still in
use, but as the company is laying down
several new tracks, it will soon be al
most filed with them from Second
street to the river, and as people will re-
alize how much safer the inclines are, it
is probable that the opposition to the
closing of the extension will soon be
withdrawn.
The cost of the new structure is said
to have been about $4,000. 1t is GER
tainly massive, imposing piece of
work, and in all respects presents adj
yantages over the one formerly in use.

will practice meditation of tone and
study dynamics a bit. Mr.. Collier was a
very good Antony, though we have seen
more passionate ones, and those who
read less vociferously. Nevertheless
Mr.. Collier appreciates the full virtue of
the text. Mr.. Armstrong; Caesar
lacked the culture finish and ease that
we are told were characteristic of young
Caesar. Mr.. Armstrong was anything
but graceful. But he read with
strength, if not with nice dlscrimina-
ton, and gave his rcIe martial and
commanding tone that was full Of vigor.
Miss Lewis it is quite impossible to
judge The lady was so hoarse that her
tones all settled down to an unmusical
monotone. It was with difficulty at
times that she could use her vocal or
gans at all. But she is graceful,
strong and mobile-featured, indicating
capacity for fine facial expression, and
her posing and gesture were pre-
cisely what we should expect from
Cleopatra interpreted to mean caprice,
imperious Will, strong animal pas
sions, tickle but intense love, cruelty and
treachery. We judge that she reads her
lines, when normal conditions as to her
voice prevail, with a great deal of
strength and high effectiveness, but last
night her reading was painful. The
great drama was finely mounted. Bar
ring two or three modern tables and
chairs used on the stage, the fittings
were superior and adapted to the period
Of the play. A barefooted group of
cCmely women introduced the barefoot
ballet. and won applause and recalls
for their dancing and admiration for it's
cleanness, since some had thought it
would be broaden the contrary, it was
pretty and graceful dancing and with
out offense. It cannot be successfully
contended that the introduction of liv-
ing pictures and stereopticon scenes into
one of Shakespeare plays is appropri-
ate. The immortal bard cannot be i'm
proved upon by any modern stage trick
cry. If Shakespeare is not uneasy in his
ashes when such weak additions are
made to his work it will be surprising.
Miss Lewis has a good company, with
two or three voices that need haltering:
she has very fine lot of scenery, and
the costunlery is very rich and appro-
pirate. All in all, her Cleopatra" is so
well staged and acted, and her own part
so cleverly taken under the most dis
couraging circumstances, that it is to be
said of it. it is we'll worth seeing.

SAID TO HAVE RUINED CHILDREN.
Alleged Bestial Practices of Old Man
Milo J. Aver.
Strange Conduct of Men Who Claim to
Have known the Facts
for Months.

The rumors, and whisperings that
have been passed about from mouth to
mouth recently concerning the alleged
immoralities of an elderly man named
Milo j. Aver, a saw-filer, are likely to
result in his arrest.
A number of wayward girls have
been in the habit of visiting his shop on
J street, near Eleventh, and it is said
that some of them are of such tender
age as to bring their supposed rela-
tons with Aver within the scope Of the
law
officer Ash took one of the girls who
had been visiting Ayers place down to
see Chief Drew, but as she claimed to
be II years of age there was no law
that authorized the Chief to take ac-
ton in her case He said last night
that he had no evidence of girls under
that age having been tempered with,
though certain persons say that such
have been visiting Ayers shop.
A citizen in passing house on Fiji
tenth street late the other night heard
a connection within and loud cries as
if someone being beaten. He ascer-
tanned that a little tot of a girl was
being whipped by her mother for hav-
ing been out so late, and that she had
been down to the saw-filer's place.
No complaints have been made by
relatives of any of these girls, but it is
possible the police may again take cog
nizance of the scandal and have the
stories investigated. If the statements
that have been made on the authority
of persons who claim to have witnessed
the alleged acts of immortality are to be
relied upon, the old saw-filer is not one
whit better than the aged scoundrels
now under arrest in San francisco for
leading little girls astray.
And if these reports be true, it is
difficult to understand why the men
who claim to have been ye-witnesses
to Ayers misdeeds for many months
past did not have stop put to them,
even to causing his arrest. It is little
credit to these parties to come out now
and say they had known all summer of
Aver having enticed little girls into his
den and that they had amused them
selves by boring holes through parti-
tons and watching him and his victims
in their acts of immortality.
If anyone can be found TO swear to a
complaint against Aver these persons
will be given an opportunity to explain
the part they have played in the matter.
There should be an inquiry into the
scandal, by all means.

Another Endorsement.

Eds. Record Union: 1 saw in your
paper of the 10Th letter from Elk
Grove signed AN Outsider" speaking
of Rev. D. f. Huffel, pastor of the Pres
byterian Church at that place. They
may be proud of their minister. He is
a good, earnest worker in the church.
He was pastor of the M. E. Church in
Williams a few years ago. When he
came there the church was run down;
empty seats morning and evening; no
interest felt in church matters.
How was it after Rev. Huffel took
charge? The house became full morn
ing and evening. Soon the church had
a new coat of paint, and things inside
were made inviting. Many converted
under his pleadings for the sinner But
jealousy crept in. Soon he was not APP
preciated, not rewarded for his labor.
How is the church since he left? Let
those answer who were doing all they
could to hurt the feelings of him, who
had come to Williams to build up their
church and raise them out of the nlire.
