Darkest Russia" that most attrac-
tive play of the land of the White Car,
will be seen at the Opera House Tues
day, April 21st. Few attractions treat
ing on this theme have met with the
popular approval accorded this play.
The tale is told in a pleasing manner
and a strong vein OF comedy runs
through it, Not only is the story in
itself interesting, but the play, from a
scenic point is one commanding atten-
ton. No expense has been spared to
make the staging effective and pleas
ing. The subject is one allowing elab-
crate decoration, of which the manage
ment has taken advantage.

1.-The Midnight Special" is the attrac-
Opera House Monday, the goth, and is
one of the strongest on the road this
season. 1t comes highly recommended.
The company presenting the different
characters are spoken of as doing some
fine work. An exchange says: THE
Midnight Special" the latest melo-
dramatic success, began a weeks en-
gagement last night at the Novelty
before one of the largest and most en-
thusiastic audiences of the season.
Among the many interesting scenes is
one representing the Grand Union
depot, which is really one Of the most
realistic bits of stage craft seen here
in years, and is closely seconded by
the interior of the Woodland Vine dis
tillery, showing the presses at work;

much toward the success OF the md

however, favor the move, but as il will take
a two-thlrds vote the issue is at present in
doubt. The incorporators declare that
their numbers are gradually increasing,
and that before the election the result will
be certainty.
r. w. Ellis is one of the leading advo-
Gates OF the movement, and he sees in it
more than the mere investing Of the
Trustees with little additional power.
"Livermore is all right if she will but
think so, he said yesterday. Her peo-
pie are generous, public-spirited and am
bilious. ! disagree with the people who
think that we are not smart enough to
trust ourselves as city of the sixth class.
! am aware that there are gentlemen here
whose judgment commands respect who
hold il is not wise to make this change
Their position is that the town is not
ready for it, that the moral stamina and
average intelligence are not high enough
to justify the experiment. The logic of
their argument is not that the charter is
unworthy OF the town, but that the town
is unfit for the charter The old charter
stands fer the siluranism of the past.
II does not tit the new Livermore, toward
which the State is turning more and more
its attention. There are current many
wrong notions as to the effect of the pro-
posed change. Some think that reincor-
poration is the same thing as bonding.
They declare that if the scheme carries the

deb and taxes. All these ideas will be
thoroughly exploded and exploited before

the courts since February, 1894, and when
judgment was reached in the Superior
Court several months ago an appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court and an affir-
nation of judgment was entered to-day.
Every step of the case was stubbornly con-
tested and the trial occupied thirty days.
Rose was regarded as q petty monarch at
Warm Springs, and every day large con-
tingent of MS and his wife's friends came
down to see and hear and testify.
Attorney f. w. Fry, who conducted the
prosecution, gained judgment mainly by
impeachment of the Davis witness. Even
the court was forced to acknowledge that
there was danger of more witnesses being
held for perjury.
Attorneys G. C. Langan, C. c. Hamilton,
Welles Whitmore and E. Nj. Gibson ap-
peared for Rose, and during the trial it
was learned that he YVES quite wealthy.
After the Judgment of the lower court
was rendered the Sheriff was ordered to
install Mrs. Rose at Castle Rose, and when
he visited the homestead he found it
protected by armed men. Not anxious to
precipitate bloodshed the deputy with
drew, and after Rose was convinced that
he had nothing to gain by force he quietly
left and when the deputy went again the
ranch was vacated.
Don Rose then went to live in little
hut owned by his brother. He declared
that he had nothing left in the world and
his wife had all. He says he has not a
dollar and is still living in poverty. Mrs.
Rose says he has merely been representing
that he was poor for the purpose of back
ing up points made in his appeal. He
still exercises his influence in the Portu-
guese colony, and it is expected that he
will now build himself another castle and
take another wife who has no mother
living, as his experience in the past with
a mother in-law is not pleasant to him.

He suggested the passage of an ordinance

draw up an ordinance limiting the speed
to seven miles an hour on Park and Web

Police Judge of the city, in the examina-
tion of felony cases, as com mitting magis-
trate, is not entitled to extra compensa-
ton from the county, and says that il is
evident all costs occasioned by offenses
committed within the charter limits of the
city OF Oakland should be paid by the city
and not bv the county.
This will result in large saving to the
county, as the fee is 81 in each examina-
ton, which in the past has been allowed
to the extent of many thousand dollars.
