ORDINANCES ON PLUMBING.
Many Of Them Are Conflicting and In
adequate.
Action by the Board of Health-Food
and Milk Inspection
Ordinance.

An adjourned meeting of the Board
of Health was held last evening to fur
Their consider the proposition OF the ap-
pointment of Milk mad Food Inspect
or and hearing any statements which
the master or journeymen plumbers had
to make concerning the licensing of
them and their examination by the
Board of Plumbing Inspectors.
City Attorney Brown was present and
said that under the present law the
Board of Health had no authority to
delegate the examination of plumbers
to any Board Of Examiners, but were
obliged to perform that duty them
selves. All municipal laws must con-
form to the laws of the State, and con-
sequently no Board Of Examiners other
than the Board Of Health could sit as
a board for examining plumbers, as the
statute regulating the matter was very
clear.
The plumbers, Mr.. Brown said, were
DESTROYS Of having an ordinance
passed which would not conflict with
State laws, and asked that all present
ordinances relating to plumbing be re-
pealed, many Of them being inadequate
and conflicting
The City Attorney believed the Board
of Trustees had right to say that
plumbers should pass an examination
before a Board of Examiners relative to
making connections with mains, but for
nothing else. But in that case the
plumber would be obliged to pass two
2aminationS-one before the Board of
Health and the other before the Board
of Examiners appointed by the Board
of Health. The proper manner to pro-
coed, he thought, would be to have an
ordinance drawn which would harmon.
ize with the State law and embody the
propositions of the plumbers.
The suggestion was put in the form
Of motion by DR.. Parkinson that the
Secretary Of the board Dr. Nichols be
empowered to confer with the Corpo-
ration Counsel and the City Attorney In
drawing an ordinance which will not
conflict with the State law"
+. M. Simpson, one OF the plumbers
present, said there were many sanitary
conditions existing IN the city which
should be changed, and in order to do
so new and proper ordinances should be
adopted.
City Attorney Brown said that no or
ulHdHce was necessary to set the plumb
ers straight at this time, and that il was
the duty Of the Board Of Health to
make the examinations and issue the
license to the men, but that any exam
nation by a Board of Plumbing Ex-
aminers appointed by the Board of
Health would be illegal in every re-
spect. The ordinance was merely to
provide rules for future sanitary regu-
lations
The motion of Dr. Parkinson was then
put and carried unanimously.
1t was determined to take no action
on the milk and food inspection propo-
sltlon until the Board Of Trustees had
taken some action on the proposed or
dinance already before them for their
consideration bearing upon the same
subject
NO other business coming before the
board the meeting adjourned.

SACRAMENTO'S LATEST STAR
Miss Mabelle Gilman Departs for the
East and Europe.
Augustin Daily Declares She Will
Become Another Bern
hardt.

Miss Mabelle Gilman, daughter of c.
Fl. Gilman of this city, whose engage
ment by Augustin DAILY has been re-
ferred to recently, passed through the
city with the company en- route to the
East and Europe yesterday. She was
met at the depot by her father and
other relatives.
Miss Gilman, who is now in her 18th
year, was born in this city. She grad
Uated from the Sacramento Grammar
School and attended the High School
for one year, and then entered the Mills
College, whence she graduated couple
of weeks ago. She has been under the
musical training of Madame Rose
valid for year and a half, and that
lady declares that the Sacramento girl
possesses rare powers as a vocalist.
Speaking of Madame Rosewald, Miss
Gilman said yesterday that she owes
all of her success thus far to her. This
young Sacramentan, who 1T Is predicted
is to become great dramatic and OPP
cratic star, has fine presence. She is
feet 511a inches in hight. is the picture
The record-union., 1896-06-11

of health and vigor, and has unbounded
enthusiasm in the work IL which she
has engaged She has q wealth of long,
dark brown hair, large hazel
eyes shaded by strong, we'll
marked eyebrows that will require no
''making-up' for the stage. Her feat
ures are strong, but handsome, and she
has much animation and what may be
termed personal magnetism.
When reminded of Mr.. Days decla-
ration that she was the coming rival,
in the song and dramatic world, Of the
renowned Sara Bernhard she blushed
and said that she hoped she would not
disappoint those who expected so much
OF her. She would, however, apply her
self closely to the profession in which
she had embarked so unexpectedly, and
her friends might rest assured of one
thing-she had the courage to face any
audience, and confidence in her ability
to win fame and fortune.
Miss Gilman Is accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. Nettie Gilman, and she
remarked yesterday that she felt fiat
tered by Mr.. Days assurance that
she was the first young woman ever
admitted to his company whose mother
was permitted to travel with the others
at his expense
Just before the train pulled out Miss
Gilman was presented with a basket Of
beautiful flowers grown In her native
city.
Assuming that Miss Gilman will not
fail to make her mark In the dramatic
and operatic world, she may in ad-
vance be added to the list Of young
women already sent out from Sacra-
mento to win renown not only through
out her own country but in the Old
World, in whose cultured circles only
talent and genius Of the highest order
can gain recognition. Sacramento
points with pride" to the achievements
of her other daughters-Mary Ander-
son, Sybil Sanderson, Teresa Tietjens.
Gertie Carley-Auld, Kitty Heyman, Della
Berry and others. who have won fame
abroad.
In announcing Miss Gilman's en-
gagement by Daily, the San Francisco
Post" said of her:
Another daughter Of the West has be-
gun to realize her dreams. Two weeks
ago Miss Mabelle Gilman was a pupil
at Mills College. To-day she is what
may be termed Augustin Days latest
discovery, and Tuesday next she is to
turn her back upon California and her
face toward the great world beyond At
the closing concert of the year at Mills
The record-union., 1896-06-11

Seminary Miss Mabelle Gilman sang
several numbers and completely capti-
waited her audience.
The fame of that nights work
reached the ears Of Mr.. DAILY, and,
through Nine. Julie Rosewald, Miss Gill
mans instructress, meeting was ar
ranged at the teachers residence in
this city. Quite unconscious that so
much Of her future hung upon the
events of that hour, Miss Mabelle sang
and acted to the best Of her ability.
Her voice is a superbly rich and full
contralto of considerable compass, and
the gifted young lady is equally at
home whether the words she MARBLES
so musically be French, Italian, Ger
man or English.
The dramatic art seems to be a gift
of nature to Miss Gilman, and 1t is
the wonderful combination of gifts
which has won her an enthusiastic
manager. To act seems easier for the
young lady than not to act.
Her 1.-the young figure is grace itself,
and the poses and movements seem to
be half unconscious expression of the
spirit of her song. The gifted girl is
but little past Is years Of age, and Nine.
Rosewald, whose sagacity is evidenced
by the success of a goodly number Of
her pupils, who have gone forth to win
laurels, wished very much to keep this
one for another year.
Mr.. Daily, however, would hear naught
of this. He drew up a contract for Miss
Gilman to sign before the first inter-
view with her had been closed. SO en-
ticing, so absolutely irresistible were the
terms Of this contract that it would
have required a stout heart to resist
them.
The new actress will probably make
her debut in New York, though she is to
The record-union., 1896-06-11

go to London almost Immediately, and
may not appear in public before she
reaches that goal of the ambitious. Mr..
Daily proposes to give his new acqusi-
ton parts which have incidental mu-
sic, in such plays as Gas You Like It."
which have been cut to fit the limited
capabilities of actresses till the public
has well nigh forgot that there are
songs to be sung if ever an actress and
singer combined treads the theatrical
boards again.
Not in many day has bud of such
promise come into the dramatic world
With health, youth, beauty, grace and
rare talent, Mabelle Gilman bids fair to
win the laurels which La Sarah cannot
always keep and which it has been
prophesied some American girl is sure
to win and wear
