AMUSEMENTS A

A very slender attendance heard the
tan Theater last night. Isadora Martinez
is unquestionably a highly cultivated
singer of rare skill in execution. whose
voice is in volume large and in character
strong. but it has lost, if it had it, the
sympathetic quality. Her support was
good. The few present were privileged
to hear superior baritone, Mr.. Henley.
and pleasing and feeling singer in the
tenor, Mr.. Coffin, while Professor Tilton
proved to be an accomplished pianist.
But no troupe, however talented, can per-
form with spirit to q mere handful of peo-
pie scattered drearily through the va
cancy of large auditorium.
At the Clunie Opera-house tonight the
touching and pretty domestic drama SIN
some as effective emotional acting and
clever Disgusting as one might wish to
see. This is the last week Of the Smith
Lieb company, which is one OF the most
capable ones ever put on the boards at
the Opera-house since the stock company
experiment has been revived.
Mr.. Henley is fine baritone singer, one
whom lovers of good vocal music take
pleasure in hearing. But Mr.. Henley
not more than the audience, was en-
barrassed and mortified last night when,
Just as he WAS about to begin 1.-The 9eo-
mans Wedding Song" he was compelled
TO pause, and Professor Tilton had to
hold his hand from accompanying while
the senseless ordinance requiring the fire
bell to be rung at 9 O'Clock was obeyed.
Since the Trustees refuse to modify the
ordinance, manly because they have been
asked to do so, and claim that some people
have urged them to have the bell rung
that they may set their clocks ana gather
in their stray children from the streets, it
has come to an open issue between one
lot of people who apparently take
pleasure in mountaineering and annoy
ing another lot of people who hold the
ringing Of the bell to be useless and un-
necessary proceeding and, in effect, q
nuisance. If expressions of some OF the
Trustees are sincere on this subject, re-
fusal to modify the ordinance is persisted
in simply and solelyabecause those who
love concert music desire the modifica-
ton. This is nothing less than the dog
lnthe- manger spirit. 1t is boldly stated
and argued that if the ringing of the bell
dlsturbs meetings, concerts and dra-
matte performances, 1t is all right, and
the remedy is for people accustomed to
go to such entertainments to cease going;
that it makes no difference if the effect is
what it is, as it serves those right who
choose to attend entertainments. Just
how far this is from the spirit of envious
hate and mean selfishness, every one can
Judge for himself and herself.

THERE is colony of some 200 Seventh
Day Adventists in Rhea County, Tenn.
They are industrious, sober. provident,
peaceful, high-mindsd citizens, COM
manding the respect of all. But they
labor on Sunday and rest on Saturday.
which is also their day Of special wor-
ship. But they are careful to so labor on
Sunday as not to interfere with their
neighbors or interrupt their devotions.
But fanatacism and intolerance maintain
a law on the statute books of Tennessee
which provides fine and Imprisonment
for those who do any labor on Sunday
not absolutely necessary to the preserva-
ton of life. Seven of the Adventists
were arrested and sent to Jail for terms
varying from one month to one year
and even longer. The offenses charged
were hoeing in gardens, cutting fire.
wood for kitchen stoves, pruning trees
and doing odd jobs about the home.
Now comes Governor Turney and gives
to all these prosecuted prisoners a full
free pardon, thus repuking the bigoted
intolerance sf his own State. ALI honor

SIR BENJAMIN RICHARDSON, noted
English physician, thinks that the nor
NAL period of human life is about one
hundred and ten years. and that seven
out of ten average people ought to live
that long if they took proper care of
themselves There Is in the light of
science. and what we know of the laws of
nature, no question about it that the aver
age of life has been reduced, or at least
not raised, because we live too fast,
ignore life's economic laws, and demand
of our bodies and the functions of life
more than can be borne without injury.
1t is altogether probablesthat in the next
hundred years the average limit of hu-
man life will be considerably raised, as
the result of preventive medicine, sani-
tary science, and wider diffusion among
the people of knowledge of the laws of

NOTE AND COMMENT.

The people of the handsome and prosperous
city of Woodland, in their reception and en-
tertainment of the Sacramento Valley Press
League this week, manifested a generous and
sincere hospitabe spirit that have not
known to be exceeded in any community
There was about it cordiality. simplicity
and bountifulness that was charming. There
was no OVERRIDING in the matter of attentions
shown. unless we except the refusal to permit
guests to discharge their hotel bills. But
there was such honest and justifabIe pride
taken by the people in showing the visitors
the city and It's adjacent orchard, vineyard
and farm lands, and in laying before them
proofs of the fertility and natural wealth of
this heart of the Sacramento Valley, that
really the guests were made to feel they
had done the Woodland people special
favor by coming to their lovely city.
When the guest is impressed with the idea
that his presence Is the source of genuine
pleasure and is full satisfaction to the host,
the latter stands ready to accept with sm1les
the generosity that refuses him the right to
discharge his bills of personal expense. In
very many California receptions we have
been witness to the cooperation OF women In
such affairs. but in none where women did
more or better with so little of friction of
management as in the case OF those
OF Woodland. Indeed, Wnlle Lne nOSpl-
tality OF the men of our neighboring city, and
the remarkable energy and untiring zeal OF

| ing the purposes of the gathering evoked the
warmest commendation, the women of their
