-Nobody.s claim,

The James II. Browne theatrical com
pany presented the great five act melo-
drama, entitled, ''Nobody's Claim" at
the Opera House last evening to a good
sized audience and all were well pleased
with the performance.
The east Of characters included eigh-
teen persons and all took their parts
we'll
Miss Alice Marble as Kit, a waif, was
very good and she again proved herself
favorite. Her selections during the
third act were very good and her acting
all through the play could not have been
better. Frank De Vernon as Sidney
We're, the man who pursued the road
agents to their den, Harry Richards as
Carlo Monte, alias Capt. Blake, the lead
er OF the bandits, T. J. Langdon as Old
Missouri, the pioneer woodsman, were
all good as was j. L. McEnery, the
negro character Dionysius, and Harry
Sutherland as Major O'Hara, the Irish
schoolmaster and proprietor. Mr.. Me
Emery rendered two selections which
brought down the house and was obliged
TO respond TO two hearty encores. His
clog dancing was also good, while Mr.
Sutherland's clear baritone voice again
captured the audience. The quartette
composed Of Miss Alice Marble, Mr.. j. 7.
McEnery, Ii. b. Sutherland and Miss +.
Genella, sang very pretty selection
during the play and their voices blended
to perfection.
A chance on a beautiful gold watch,
which will be given away at the last per-
Torrance on Saturday evening. is given
every one who attends any OF the per-
iormances. This evening the fve-act
melo-drama, entitled, The Plunger."
will be presented aud the company will
play here every night this week with
family matinee on Saturday afternoon.

time with the one told by Mrs. kalstrom;
that lady informs us she has, in company
with two lady friends. seen the man
Angus Johnson, who admits that on the
night in question Jerry Sullivan followed
him out OF Virgins saloon and engaged
him to 20 10 Mrs. Kalstrom's rooms and
see what sort Of a place il was and to
see whether there were any Italian girls.
nothing being said about Pearl Seoheld,
that he accordingly went and afterwards
reported the result oil his visit and ad-
yised Sullivan to remain quiet, but that
individual said no. he would visit the
place himself and very, as it appears to
us, foolishly did so.
1t is proper here to state that an ex-
aggerated, il il well could be, report OF
this action OF Jerry Sullivan's has been
the street talk sinceit occurred. As soon
as we heard of il we naturally supposed
that something was wrong or Sullivan
would not have dared to modest modest
and apparently unprotected females; but
upon casually inquiring we ascertained
without the least trouble that the ladies
had been residents OF this place. in Pine
street and Blue Jacket, for considerably
over year aud were of unblemished rep
utation; that Mrs. Kalstrom was dress
maker and her sister a music teacher;
that they were both connected with the
Swedish Methodist church, one of them
singing in the choir. and that the choir
met in their room TO practice and that
other people met there to practice and
receive instruction. IL we ascertained
this without any trouble, surely an OFF,
Ger OF the law could have done the same.
1t certainly was his duty to have done
40 before taking the steps he did. The
fact OF his sending such a person, az We
are told the man is whom he employed,
to visit decent house shows ne was, in
this instance at any rate, possessed OF
very poor judgment.
To many persons OF Sullivan's ideas,
this may look like "a mountain made
out OF a molehill," but il their wives or
sisters bad been treated in the way these
ladies were, even such persons az they
might have thought differently.

About twenty OF the old citizens OF CAL
umet and Red Jacket very pleasantly
surprised Mr.. Charles Lambert by calling
at his home on Sixth street Tuesday

that they had come to help celebrate
that event. Mrs. Lambert was in the
