A SPLENDID ATTRACTION. "Ups and Dows of Life to Be Pre- sented at the Opera House
 by Strong Company

Oliver Byron, supported by the eminent artiste, Kate Byron, and their company of comedians, will appear at the Opera-house Friday night, February 7th.
 The story of Ups and Downs of Life is powerfully interesting and strong emotional one, replete with thrilling situations and vein of heart interest prevailing the entire play. 1t treats of the mistakes of a young girl, Alice Bruce, who at the age of Is is lured into a clandestine marriage with an unprincipled ad- venturer, who after the marriage at the church door is arrested for for forgery and sentenced to five years penal servitude. The unhappy girl returns to her fathers house and keeps her secret. A few years afterwards there is an outbreak in the prison and she reads of her hus- bands death. Later on, deeming herself free, she loves and marries Vivian Ransome, gentleman of wealth, and in the midst of all her happiness her first husband appears on the scene. He is engaged as an agent on her second husband s estate, and she makes the mistake of still keeping her unhappy secret. From that hour her life is q burden, for the seoundrel persecutes her day and night to extort money and also with his love, which she repels with hate and scorn. In q scene of over Vivian Ransome surprises them and discovers the whole story and ord CTS the man from his door, then repn- diates his unhappy wife. She wan ders away in her lonely, miserable life and finally in boarding house unexpectedly meets her second hus- band. There is u strong eomplica- tion i'll this act where the first hus- band is also, and it transpires that he had already wife before marry ing the heroine.s There is a realistic fire scene and Vivian Ransome res cues his wife. The last act restores the situation. The villain tries to force his wife back to him by the power of the law when he is con- fronted and eonfounded by the ap- pearance of his real wife on the scene. This, of course, gives Alice to her own husband in happiness and ut terly illustrates the villain and every thing ends happily.

A certain solicitor general of Eng land visited Berlin on vacation, and being mistaken for bearing military title was invited to review and mount ed on a charger. Being accustomed to following the hounds, he made an ex cellent equestrian. but when asked opin- ions as to some of the maneuvers was obliged to parry the cross examination.

Revenge.

A spirit of revenge is the very spirit of the devil, than which nothing makes a man more like him. If your revenge be not satisfied, it will give you torment now; if it be, it will give you greater hereafter. None is greater self tor mentor than malicious and revengeful man who turns the poison of his own temper in upon himself. -J. M Mason

HoOpa Valley Agency to Be Abolish e d .
Red Men Under State Laws.
Captain w. E. Dougherty, First Infantry,
e. S. A, who is on duty as agent of the
Indians at the Hoopa Valley reservation,
returned from Washington yesterday.
While in that city he had long confer
ence with the representatives of the Inte-
rior Department.
He will return to the agency shortly and
proceed to put things in shape to give the
Indians fair trial of government under the
laws of California, without advice or re-
straint on the part of the United States
Government.
The captain believes that these Hoopa
and Klamath Indians are now able to
govern themselves under the laws of this
State. They are self-supporting now, and
slightly increasing in number. All OF the
youth can read and write, and some of the
older Indians can do the same. The land
has been allotted and is all under cultiva-
ton.

'to abolish the agency and allow the In
under the laws of this State. Yes, the
young men have the knowledge and edu-
cation to serve as Supervisors, Trustees and
School Directors
HAS this scheme been tried at any
other Indian agehcy?" was asked.
Captain Dougherty replied: "Not to
my knowledge, but it must have begin
ming. l believe that these Indians, num-
bering 1900, will get along very WELL They
are industrious. The land is cultivated
inteIligently and profitably. No, do not
think that saloons and dancehouses
can be introduced to corrupt the Indians.
The land has been allotted and that
diminishes the danger of such invasion"

A Speedy Termination of the
Painters Strike Looked
For.
IMPORTANT MEETING TODAY.
The Building Trades Council Anxious
to Settle Differences Without
Further Strife.

The most important feature in the
painters strike yesterday was conference
between the painting firm of st. Denis d
Co. and the grievance committee of the
Building Trades Council. The purpose of
the interview was to arrange, if possible,
terms upon which settlement of the
present troubles could be made. AS st.
Denis & Co. is one of the largest employ
ing paint firms, it was believed that a set
tlement with them by arbitration would
lead to similar arrangements being made
with other firms.
Another conference will be held to-day
in st. Denis Office, at which the interested
parties will come to an understanding.
There will be present st. Denis and his
partner Macauley, Saunders and Mozart
ney representing the Building Trades
Council and Ames and Shields represent
ing the painters union.
The painters are canvassing the City for
the purpose OF learning the exact stand
ing of every shop and contract.
The committee having in charge the
theatrical entertainment for the striking
painters state that it will be grand sue
cess. A friend of Miss Annie Roney states
that the lady will be unable to sing at the
benefit tomorrow evening.

READY FOR THE CARD.
The Painters Union Gathering I'm
portant Data for the Building
Trades Council.

The usual morning meeting of striking
painters was held yesterday at 115 Turk
street, and great satisfaction was expressed
at the present situation of the strike. Re-
ports were received from many shops
showing that the influence of the union is
spreading, and that there are more union
shops now than there were a week ago.
The large force of union painters who re-
turned to the friendly bosses have been a
great benefit to the union, as they are all
contributing to the relief of those who are
still out on strike and who are in want.
Ihe relief committee has its hands full of
business, and is assisting many worthy
people. There are number who are
endeaVorlng to impose upon the commit
tee, but that is to be expected in large Or
| carnations. The relief committee, how
ever, carefully investigates every applica-
tlon for help, and very few unworthy peo-
| pie have succeeded in imposing upon the
committee.
Considerable preparation was made for
the reception of the building trades work
ing card on the 1st. In order to learn the
status OF every job and shop in the City
nfteen investigating committees were Sc
lected. Their duty will be te visit every
place in the City where painters are at
work and secure positive proof as to the
character thereof-wheth er union or non
union. Each committee as soon as it COW
ers its district will report to the union,
and that body will prepare complete re-
port, which will be presented TO the Build
Ing Trades Council. 1t will rest with the
council to enforce the union rules ana the
card system.
The union has in its possession now an
interesting report. 1t is list of all the
painters in the City. and shows who are
true union men, non union men and union
men who have proved false to their obliga-
tions. 1t is likely that the latter will be
dealt with by and by more severely than
those who never joined the union. This
list may be placed IN the hands of the
walking delegates of the Building Trades
Council on April

redwood lumber business has been carried
on at a loss for nearly five years. Up
along the coast the millmen have been
working two or three days week and
for reduced wages. There was not
living in the business. In fact redwood
has been selling right here in San Fran
cisco for less than it cost to get 1t out.
That is briefly all there is to tell OF the
condition that has confronted US.
I'VE saw that nothing could be done to
benefit the redwood industry, to keep 1t
from decentralization, but for US TO unite.
This we have done. Our aim is to regu-
late the product of the mills according TO
the demand and to raise the price enough
to give US living profit. The capacity OF
the mills far exceeds all demands-a con-
ditiOn that is not healthful.
"This is not such a dreadful thing as
some people might think. The advance
in price will be about 81 thousand feet.
Now, while that might appear big, 1t means
t at man building $500 or $1,000 house
will have to pay about $40 more Tor his
lumber, ami a man putting up S50o0
house must give $50 to $50 more. That IS
all, but look at the other side OF the ques-
ton.
1.-The 81 thousand, which is but a trifie
to the buyer, means much to US. 1t will
assure a profit and enable US TO buy new
machinery and spend more money for Ia
Dor. 1t will tend TO prosperity, since 1t
will give an important industry new
lease of life in California. Our association
cannot be compact, because ii it were
and we raised the prices too far the pine
lumber would compete with US and drive
US from the market
The product for the Mendocino mills for
1895 was 120, 3S8, ,647 feet of redwood and of
Hum boldt SO, Isl, III feet. In addition to
this the output of Del Norte and Sonoma
counties is quite considerable. large
portion of the redwood product is sold out
side of California, and the advanced price
means added wealth for the State. The
redwood consumed in the State is said to
be of sufficient quantity to bring about
| S250,000 more to the producers annually
through the advanced rate of 81 thou
sand feet.

HE WILL REFUSE TO SIGN
Auditor Broderick Is Firm on
the Question of Regis
tration.
The Election Commissioners Are Still
Struggling With the
Problem.

Auditor Broderick announced yesterday
that if the election commission decided to
begin registration 160 days before election
instead of ninety days, as he believes the
law requires, he will refuse to audit the
warrants of the clerks who conduct the
registration.
The commission was having its usual
weekly wrestle with the registration ques-
ton and trying to find its way out of the
muddle in which conflicting laws have
plunged it.
Auditor Broderick is firmly of the
opinion that the last Legislature in
tended to abolish precinct registration
by its amendments to the registration
act providing for the beginning of regis
tration 160 days instead OF ninety days be-
fore the general election. AS the other
Commissioners were in doubt as to their
duties under the mixed condition of affairs,
they deemed it advisable to take the ques-
ton into the courts. For this purpose
City Attorney Creswell moved to-day that
it was the sense of the commission that
there should be no registration of voters in
the City for general election of 1896, except
in accordance with the provisions of the
act of March Is, 1878, which requires regis
tration to begin ninety days prior to the
election, and that therefore authority
should not be given to the Registrar to
purchase stationery necessary for earlier
registration under different act.
The motion was adopted, but Tax Col
lector Block and City Surveyor Tilton ex-
planned that they voted for it only to OBJ
tain decision. Should the courts not de-
eide the matter in time they will be in IA
vor of following the law of 1895.
The Mayor voted against the resolution
on the ground that should the Registrars 8
office be TIED up by litigation until after
the time registration should begin under
the new law, and the courts should then
decide that tine law of 1895 was to be fol-
lowed, the election might be invalidated.

waited on the union and after some dis
cussion on the matter it was decided by a
unanimous vote to stand by the Labor
Council and not have anything to do with
