"a Lady of Quality in New York

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-To-night at Wal
lacks Theater, Mrs. Burnetts new play,
"a Lady of Quality" was acted for the
first time in New York, and Miss Julia Ar
thur embodied its heroine. The house was
full and Miss Arthur, who is admired for
warmly welcomed by a friendly assemblage.
The play did not meet with the approval OF
all OF the critics. Miss Arthur infused mean
ing into the part of Clarinda and was par
ticularly pleasing in her boy dress and also
in her free and easy manner as a. juvenile
rake, but she was best in her woman's raj
ment and in her expressions of diversified
moods of impulse, pride, scorn and sorrow.
Her change from masculine to feminine
gear and from madcap swagger to naughty
decorum was accomplished with exceptional
brilliancy Of pictorial effect. The company
was excellent.

Empire-.sBon Ton BurIesauers."

Empire-"BOn Ton BurIesquers."
The Bon Ton Buriesquers," which opened
at the Empire yesterday to smaller au-
diences than the entertainment deserves,
gives a clean and fairly clever show The
opening burlesque has several bright num-
bers, the closing cake walk by the whole
company being an especially pretty effect.
The olio includes Mildred Hartman, de-
scriptive vocalist; Joe Nestor and Pearl
Stevens, in sketch with good many new
lines; Kennedy and Bryce, in an Irish turn
considerably different from the stereotyped
Celtic act, and entertaining some real far
cical comedy, and A. e. Lawrence, in a
number Of well performed feats of ventril-
loquism and a series of clever limitations of
various animals, machines, etc. A second
burlesque, THE Vassar Girls in Camp"
ends the performance. The women in the
company are above the average OF travelling
burlesquers in appearance, and the cos
tunes are handsome. The show will re-
main all week.
1t was announced that special midnight
performance Will be given tonight and cleo
ton returns from Ohio and New York city
will be read from the stage as fast as re-
ceived, a special wire being run into the
theater, with an operator in attendance.

One of the SWEETEST turns ever seen in
vaudeville show is that of John and Bertha
Gleason, with Gus Hills Novelties at the
Park. They are handsome couple and
their dancing is the best old patrons of the
Park can remember. That was the general
comment yesterday at the opening of the
engagement of Gus Hills company. They
dress the act as well as they dance, and
all in all, it is pleasing performance. The
Gleasons played three long engagements at
keiths in Boston last summer and made
a great hit. The bill is long one, but
loses nothing on this account. With the ex-
ception of two or three rather common
place acts, it abounds in good vaudeville
features which are appreciated. Flatow
and Dunn give a black-face speciality that
is exceptionally clever. They mix up lit
tie cakewalk business with some singing,
dancing head-spinning and acrobatic fea-
lures and are entertaining all the way
through. Fred Knapp is the best ball Jug
gler indianapolis has had. He introduces
various astonishing feats of jugglery. but
his performances with the balls is the neat
est part of a remarkably good act. His
comedy work is quiet but very effective.
The Lowells do some acrobatic contortion
get away from the beaten path of such acts
and old stagers who watched their work
yesterday declared that they got themselves
in and out of kinks that never before dis
tinguished turns of a similar character.
Carletta does a lizard speciality, which
is rather a curious affair owing to his Pc
culiar entrance, coming down tree as he
does. Harry Thompson entertains the au-
dience FOR fifteen minutes with his charac-
tiers of everyday life. Other turns on the
programme are those of Walz and Ardell,
Sheridan and Forest Maggie Fair and Mat
tie Smith, Master Lavendar Richardson and
the three Nevaros. All this furnishes
long vaudeville bill and a very good one.
The audience yesterday put the stamp of
approval on the performance. The theater
was filed both matinee and night. The
company remains at the Park to-day and
tomorrow only. Charles E. Blaneys new
comedy drama will be seen in Indianapolis
for the first time on Thursday. This en-
gagement is arousing much interest, for
Mr.. Blaney has hitherto confined his efforts
exclusively to farce-cOmedY.

The Welsh do not like the English, and

Welsh are loyal enough to English rule, be-
cause they know how few and weak they
are compared with the English. Were the
Welsh as numerous as the Irish and were
Wales as large as Ireland. and separated
from England by sixty miles of sea as Ire

CALIFORNIA DESCRIBED.
The Forthcoming Book of the State
Board of Trade.
From the Stockton independently

(From the Stockton independently
California has been written up from
all points of view by all sorts of per-
sons Of varying degrees of ability and
disability: has been described by those
interested in particular localities, enter
prises or industries and been written
down by Snarlers and carpers who have
been disappointed in their unreason-
able expectations. but has never had as
thorough, impartial and disinterested
description of it's history, climate, at
fractions, resources and their wide va
riations as that which will be distrib-
uted by the State Board of Trade when
the Christian Endeavorers arrive in
this State. Every article or chapter in
the book has been written by a special
writer of established reputation for
knowledge Of the subject he treats and
there is not town-lot boomer among
them. Among the writers are Colonel
John P. Irish. c. E. Gfunsky, the noted
engineer; General Chipman, President
Kellogg of the State University, Elwood
Cooper and men of like ability, who
have written for the love of describing
their State and doing it in the way best
calculated to give intelligent visitors
the lIulII ABOUT CdlllOTnla IN auCnenIlc
form. The preparation of the work was
superintended by William H Mills, as
Chairman of the Publication Commit
tee of the State Board of Trade There
is no man in California who is better
equipped than Mr.. Mills to arrange the
work and select the best men to write
on their specialties. and in this he has
shown his usual excellent judgment.
The State Board of Trade. Mr. Mills
and the able writer's who have prepared
the book are entitled to the warm
thanks of all the people of the State
and will receive them. The book is
one that the visitors will take home
with them and will thus place before
the people of the East the true condi-
ton of California; it's wealth, the op-
portunities for making it; the kind of
people who should come here and the
kind that should stay away, which last
is as important as any other feature.

by careful and extensive observations
settled once for all that the shoals
We're a fixture, and not of the shifting
variety
Commissioner Manson is inclined to
believe. through investigations made by
himself, that the shoals are composed
of a hardpan such as that upon which
the Montezuma Hills stand. Indeed,
he has a theory which seems to be
we'll borne out, that these shoals are
simply an extension of the hardpan
which forms the foundation on which
the hills rest.
1t is feared that the impedfments
struck by Engineer Nurse may be cob
ble-stones If such is the case, the
matter of dredging will be much more
complicated than was anticipated, as it
is we'll known that a dredger will work
at a disadvantage among cobbles.
1t was also decided that on Friday
next Commissioners Manson and Price
shall ascend the river and inspect the
break near the Elk Horn Ranch, a
short distance below the mouth of the
Feather River, with the view of ascer-
tanning the character and cost of the
work there necessary for partially re-
straining the escape of flood water
which each season pours into the Yolo
Basin. If possible the trip will be made
in one day.

A SENSIBLE GRAND JURY.
II Found Nothing to Do, and Did 1t
Promptly.
The Jurors Could Only "Recommend,
and Recommendations Had Be-
come Monotonous.

The Grand Jury yesterday made its
report to Judge Hughes through it's
foreman, Charles F. Dillman The jury
sat two days. Its report is a model Of
brevity and conciseness, and a decided
contrast to some former ones. II is as
follows:
To Hon. j. w. Hughes, Judge Depart
ment One, Superior Court, Sacramento:
In view of the fact that the recent
Grand Jury made thorough examina-
ton of the books of the county offices
by an expert, We find nothing to do but
offer recommendations" and as recon-
mendations are generally ignored, we
ask to be discharged without offering
any, other than that our Secretary be
allowed 50 per day additional for his
services. Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES F. DILLMAN,
Foreman Grand Jury.
Sacramento, June 30, 1897.
Attest: w. w. Greer, Secretary.
Judge Hughes thanked the jury and
said he did not think they could have
done any differently The citizens of
the county would also thank them for
their action. He would therefore, dis
charge them and they could file their
claims with the County Clerk.

WITHOUT SIN.
ConsoIing Remarks at the Funeral OF
a Child Yesterday

The funeral of little Edward A, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank KunZ, Jr., took
place yesterday from the home Of the
child's grandparents at Tenth and V
streets, and was largely attended by
friends and neighbors of the families.
''Buddie" as the child was Familiarity
known, was a bright little fellow of Z
years and a favorite at school and with
all who knew him. He was devotedly
attached to an aunt who died a couple
of years ago, and as the child lay on his
deathbed he whispered to his mother
that he was not afraid to die if he could
only go to heaven and join his Aunt
Hattie there.
After Father Walsh had performed
the usual service for the dead he said
it was not customary to make remarks
in the cases of little children when
about to consign them to the grave,
but in this instance he felt constrained
to do so.
'"This little boy who now lies before
US in the sleep of DEATH" said the cler-
gyman. lis in no need Of our prayers.
When he was baptized in the name of
the Blessed Trinity all stains of the
original sin in which he was born were
washed away. and when his spirit took
its flight it went direct to heaven. And
though it is but natural that the aff1ict-
ed parents should grieve and mourn the
loss of their darling boy, they should
be cOnsoIed by the knowledge that he
now sits at the feet of the Heavenly
Father. No degree of eXaltation-no
extent of happiness that can come to
one in this world-can possibly equal
that which the spirit of this innocent
child now enjoys as one of the angelic
host that surround the throne of God"
1t was a touching scene, indeed, and
there was not a fearless eye in the
large throng of assembled relatives and
friends as the bereaved parents bent
over the lifeless form of their loved one
to take their last farewell from him on
earth.
There was a wreath of beautiful flow
ers about the snow-white bier-fowers
worked and interviewer by hands and
hearts that had caressed and loved the
sleeping boy before death laid its icy
hand upon him and stilled the heart
that throbbed so violently with the
ruthless fever that had laid him low.
At both the house and grave touch
ing hymns were softly and feelingly
rendered by Mrs. Wilbur F. Smith and
daughter
1t was only the funeral of a little
child, such as takes place almost daily
without the outside worlds knowledge
of the poignant grief that consumes
the hearts of afflicted parents and low
ing brothers and sisters. Only those
who have passed through the ordeal of
consigning to the insensate earth the
forms of their beloved offspring can
realize the weight of woe which so
manY hearts have to bear

SIGNAL WORK.
Each Brigade Corps Will Hold Its
Own EnCampment.

For some time past it has been the
intention of Adjutant- General Barrett
to have the Signal Corps of the First,
Second and Third Brigades go into
camp at the same time, with the view
of carrying on a system of heliOgraph
signals from the northern to the south
ern end of the State. This plan was
abandoned on receipt of the report of
Colonel D. E. Miles, Staff Signal Off
Ger, who estimates that the number of
photographs on hand will not be suffi-
cient to equip the number of stations
which it would be necessary to establish
and maintain
So it happens that there will be no
Division Signal Corps encampment. The
members of the Third Brigade will take
their outing about the middle of July
or the 1st Of August, and will go into
camp somewhere in the vicinity of
Cisco or the Summit. A signal sta
ton will be established on Red Mount
ain, which commands an extended view
of the surrounding peaks, and the boys
will be kept busy both with photographs
and flags

THE LATE J. B. HARRIS.
His Funeral Yesterday-Sermon by
Rev. c. l.. Miel.

The funeral services of the late J..
b Harris, the well-known newspaper
writer, We're held in St. Paul's Episcopal
Church at 1870 o'clock yesterday
morning The edifice was filled with
friends who gathered to do honor to
the memory of the deceased and assist
in the last sad rites.
The casket was banked high with
floral pieces. the offerings of sympa-
thizing friends. Beautiful pieces were
those presented by the newspapers with
which the deceased had in his lifetime
been connected, and the offering of the
Typographical Union. of which the de-
ceased was an honorary member and
under the direction of which the funeral
was held, was artistic and beautiful to
a high degree. Dozens of pieces had
been contributed by private individ-
uals personal friends of the departed,
and all gave evidence of the fact that
his memory was held dear in many
hearts.
The services both at the church and
cemetery were conducted by Rev. c.
L Mel, rector of ST. Paurs, and the
address was eloquent and affecting.
Some one, Rev. Mr. Mel said, once re-
marked that in life there We're many
dOors-doors of joy and sorrow, Of labor
and of suffering, of success and failure,
and year by year men and women pass
through them.
But one door" continued the pastor,
''defies all efforts at fathoming - the
door of death All roads lead up to
it, and none away from it, and it is
the lot of all mortals to be banished
through its gloomy portals, and none
ever return to tell what lies on the
other side The steps of the living
steadily march toward the door through
which the dead have already passed.
