ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Clunie Opera-houSe this even
ing Milton and Dollie Mobiles in Mr..
Mobiles play From Sire to Son." 1t
is not made of the material to which we
are accustomed in most melo-
dramas The people who walk through
it do not drop their his" and there is
none of the heaven is my witness"
kind of heroics. The story of From
Sire to Son. is decidedly consistent and
the first act has an absolute charm be-
cause of its idylic Western surround
ings. Mr.. Mobiles has a personal mag
netism that is little short of remarkable.
There are those who say that he does
not act; thsA is, as Milton Mobiles, he
simply walks on the stage and ex-
presses his own thoughts as he has
written them in his plays. If this is so,
then Mr.. Mobiles is an exponent of hui
manity, and for his manner, natural
tendencies, and his adherence to the
legitimate, though not traditional
methods, there is great deal to ad-
mire. Dollie Mobiles is a favorite for
her soft speech, her pleasant ways and
her unaffected and sympathetic act
ing. A San Francisco journal, speaking
of the play to be given tonight, says:
"At the close of the first act it was ap-
parent that Milton Nobles' latest Of
fering to the muses. was an undeniable
success. The plot is particularly inter-
esting to us, as the basis of the play is
of California origin, and many Of the
incidents occur on this coast. We can
judge of the verisimilitude to nature as
experts, nor can we find one incident or
touch to cavil at. From Sire to Son. is
absolutely true to the represented period
in our States history, and the coloring
and character drawing are worthy of
Bret Harte 1t is one of the best, if not
the best, California play which has been
written. The story is told clearly the
incidents are Sharp cut. The whole
enchains the attention, and the subplot
and just proportion of humorous with
serious leave nothing to be desired. .

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Confidence Strengthened by the Rapid
Rise in Bond Prices.
Domestic Trade Reflected by Clearings
Over Thirty-Three Per Cent.
Higher Than Last Year.

NEW YORK, Fec. 23.-R. G. Dun &,
Co., in their review of last weeks trade
say:
Liabilities in failures during the first
two weeks of February were 81, $50, 1893,
against $5,550,9S6 last year. Manu-
featuring liabilities were 81, ,163. .9S6,
against 81, 1872, ,319 last year.
Failures for the week have been $50
in the United States. against 302 last
year, and so in Canada, against 36 last
year.
The restoration of the treasury re-
serve has been effected with remark
ably little monetary disturbance. The
rapid rise in the price of bonds
strengthens public confidence. Prompt
action of the House on the silver bill
has helped to increase foreign conf
dence in American securities.
In no important branch of business
is there yet apparent much disposition
to expand. Prices of commodities as a
whole are now at the lowest average
ever known, though only p per gent be-
low the average of September g. 1895.
Hides. leather and their products, tex
tile goods and iron products have de-
clined much since that date, and meats
are also lower.
Receipts of wheat continue heavy,
and depress the price of February de-
livery to 72a4c, although what is nomi-
nally called a cash price is 74c higher
Corn is j cent lower for cash, Western
receipts having been large Cotton
again declined 14c, with large realizing,
reported sales aggregating 100000
bales for the week. Speculative esti-
mates are persistenrly repeated, but re-
ceipts do not favor them, nor is actual
consumption encouraging, as declining
prices of goods show.
In almost all manufactured products
the decline continues, though in some
classes quotations are SO irregular that
the change cannot he accurately meas
ured. Bessemer pig iron and grey forge
are shade lower at Pittsburg, and
structural beams and angles have been
reduced to secure business, but new or
ders for contracts are comparatively
SMALL and some furnaces in that region
have been banked.

A WASHINGTON TRAGEDY.
Shooting ARRAY Which Resulted in a
Death.


SPOKANE (Wash), Feb. 23-Henry
Phillips, who was shot by David Water
house near Rockford, Wash, yesterday.
died this evening.
The trouble between the men arose
over a Miss Blair 1t was said that
Waterhouse had circulated damaging
stories about her, and that Phillips was
responsible for their origin.
On Saturday evening the father of the
girl, accompanied by Phillips and sew
eral other young men, called at Water
houses home, called him out and de-
manded that he make a public apology.
Phillips at the same time drew a re-
volver and pointed it at Waterhouse.
Waterhouse backed away from Phillips,
who applied vile epithets to him. Dash
ing into the house, Waterhouse secured
his rife, and, facing the party, he called
upon Phillips to drop his weapon
Phillips replied with a shot which mar
rowly missed Warehouses; head
Waterhouse promptly fred at Phillips,
infiicting what proved to be a fatal
wound. After the tragedy Waterhouse
went to Rockford and gave himself up.
Tt is believed that he will be exonerated
at his preliminary trial.

MISSOURI DEMOCRATS
They Are Hopelessly Divided on the
Financial Conundrum.

L.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 23.-AH efforts at
harmonizing the conflicting elements of
the Missouri Democracy have been
abandoned and the war for supremacy
between the silver and the sound money
wings has begun in earnest A circular
signed by leading Democrats through
out the State was sent out to-day call
ing for meeting of the sound money
Democrats in this city next Saturday.
The circulars closing sentence reads
This meeting is to decide upon and
promulgate a declaration or belief and
a line of action for those Democrats
who do not subscribe to the free, un-
limited and independent coinage of sill
yer at the ratio of 16 to 1, and who will
not be read out of their party in con-
sequence thereof, nor be deprived of
the right of expressing their convic-
tions.
Ex-Governor D. r. Francis, whose
name heads the list of subscribers TO
the circular, said to-day: 1.-The 16 to
political heretics have made so much
noise in Missouri that sound money
Democrats are forced to take UP the
fight for principles of true Democracy
There are thousands of men true to
their party who will not bow to the
fleeting fetch of free silver Some of
the silverites are beginning to under
stand that the highest interest of the
white metal can best be conserved
within the party. The present apparent
division in the party will soon disap-
pear and the State saved to Democ-
racy"

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. pa rich
lode of chrysoprase. a rare variety of
chalcedony of great value, has been
discovered by Curator Wilcomb of the
Park Museum in Tulare County.
Chrysoprase, in its perfect state. has
hitherto only been found in Siberia. and
there only in small quantities. An in
ferior grade obtains in Vermont. Re
Gently gentleman named Braverman
discovered some beautiful specimens of
the gem in Tulare County and for
warded them to Tiffany of New York.
The JeWeler promptly notified him to
send on all he could secure, as the spec
linens received were of the finest quail
ity, and when cut for mounting would
bring anywhere from $50 to 800 each.
Mr.. Braverman disclosed his find to
Curator Wilcomb, who visited the spot,
which the gentlemen prefer to keep Sc
cret for the present, and together they
unearthed a very rich vein of the stone.
Should it turn out as anticipated, it will
result in the development of new and
unique industry in California miner
alogy.
