carloads of fine scenery. The piece has
had a wonderful run In the leading cit
les of the East last season. great
many new features have been added
this season. The famous $1,000 man
dolin, which won the first prize at the
Worlds Fair and is now owned py
COrinne, evidences in its construction
and workmanship an example OF mar
yelous human patience ana ingenuity.
In the ornamentation OF this beautlful
instrument there is a mosaic work IN
which 1000 pieces OF pearl OF many dlI-
ferent hues are used; the bridge is or
1-amented with rare jewels. A dert-
fingered workman devoted 20 days to
this part of the work. She uses this IN
strument in this play and she wears
also a fortune in diamonds, among
which is a $4,000 stone. In the troupe
are many prominent comedians, oper-
attic and burlesque artists, namely: Joe
Cawthorn, John Page, Neil Mcneil,
John f. Park, H. A. Cassidy, Maurice

QUIET ELECTION YESTERDAY.
Ine Total Vote Cast in the City Was
7,16t.
now the Returns Were Displayed
by the "Record=Union''
Last Night.

A Qu1eter election never took place
IN the history of Sacramento County
tHan that OF yesterday. Not disturb
ahce took place at any of the thirty
Rnree voting precincts within the city,
and the police had to use a byword-a
veritable picnic
If there We're any infractions of the
saloon-closing regulation they were not
apparent. None of the saloons were
open-at least none of the front doors
Were-and if any rear entrances were
made use of no serious harm was done,
Tor the streets Were free from drunken
men from sunrise until the polls closed
And what was even more remarkable
was the rapidity with which ballots
We're deposited in the early part of the
day. In most of the precincts more
than two-thirds of the votes were cast
before noon, and at no time was there
any crowding at the booths.
The result demonstrated the wisdom
OF closing down the railroad shops and
other places where large numbers of
men are employed, as they were there
by enabled to go early to the polls. In
past years the voting was often very
light up to the last hour before the
vote in great crowds, causing more or
less confusion. 1t was at such times
that the so-called push would get
in their work by filling up the lines and
shutting out voters
The election yesterday clearly demon
strated that the only way to do is to
give all employed voters an opportu-
Edty to vote early, and then to rigidly
enforce the rule against the sale of
liquor while voting is in progress. Sober
men rarely lose their heads over poll
ties and get to fighting, while drunken
men fight over nothing. Yesterdays
election was a model one in every re-
spect-one that in the future 1t will do
well to pattern after
The total vote cast in the city yester-
day was 7,161, out of a total registra-
ton of s. S.14S-showing that 9S7 Of those
who registered did not vote. Many, of
course, were disqualified by reason of
changes Of residence, and others were
absent from the city. 1t seems hardly
possible, however, that several hundred
ether voters could have been so in
differt as not to vote, since there were
all kinds of tickets in the field-Repub
Hcan, Populist, National
Democratic, Independent, Socialist,
Prohibition, National party (also Pro-
hibition), ETC., but figures cannot lie.

studied such matters in the past may

The First Coaches.

In the fifteenth century coaches ap-
pear To nave been used in PROFESSIONS,
or other public ceremonies, more as an
ornament than anything else, If We may
judge from The clumsy form of the vehi-
Gle. The entrance of the ambassador
Trevasi into Mantua in a carriage is
noticed as early as the year 1453, and
that Of Frederic III into Frankfort, in
a covered coach, in the year 1916. 1t
is a curious contrast to the rapidity
with which new inventions are no =
adopted, that nearly a century elapsed
before the covered carriage was intro
duced into England. Stow, in his
Chronicle" under the year 1870, men
tlons the introduction in these terms

THE POLiTiCS OF IT.

While thcr: is good reason for the be-
lief that the proposed abolition of the
various townships ana their 0rganiza-
tiOns would have been n good thing for
the taxpayers of Chicago, The Eagle
cannot subscribe to the charge that the
defeat of the proposition Is due TO the
Vaccinations Of the politicians.
For instance. II Is charged that the
heads of the Cook County Republican
machine, Martin u. Madden and Will
lam Loimer, being particularly men,
toned, were instrumental in causing
the reconsideration of the previous vote
under which II had determined to
place the petition before the people AT
the fall election.
Now n little cOnsidcrat lion Of the facts
would show that this could not have
been the policy of these machine lead
ers lnasmuch as the scheme was orig
inally propounded by leader of the
Republican orga nizatiOn of Cook COun-
~, Daniel w. Healy, ana 1t was

questions to put to his excellency from
