ADJUSTMENTS.

No prettier outdoor scene has been
set on the stage of the Clunie Opera
house than that in the prologue of the
drama Under Two Flags" in which the
Stock Company is now appearing for
THE last week of it's long season in Sac
ramento. Despite the storm of last
night there was a good-sized audience
in the house to see the stirring drama,
through which very warm and pleas
ant vein of comedy runs. Mr.. Gleason,
in the months of his engagement here
has done nothing better, or so we'll, as
the Old Piper of the story. 1t is an ar
tistic piece of work, and handled only
as one skilled in the art can do 1t. The
entire company appears to superior ad-
vantage. But four nights remain in
which the company can be seen here.
1t will then be disbanded or go upon
the road on it's own account which
latter might be well for it, since it is a
finely balanced troupe and could COM
mand intelligent patronage in any COM
munity. AT each performance this
week Stuart, the Male Patti" appears
in operate and other songs. He is GER
tainly the best female impersonator of
the time and his voice phenomenal.
AT the Metropolitan Theater this ev-
ening the GriSmer- Davies troupe, said
to be the largest and best Mr.. Grismer
has ever had upon the road, will appear
in the new drama, Humanity" with
the scenes in England and the African
Transvaal. The setting of the play in
wolves large amount of scenery spe-
oially adapted to it, and many novel
mechanical effects. There is introduced
a small troop of horses, a sword combat
on horseback, and many scenes new in
design and startling and striking in
character. The play had a great
run at the East and met with especial
favor in the cities while en- route to
this coast. In San Francisco it was a
money maker and drew crowded houses.
All our exchanges speak of 1T in warm
terms of praise, and approve it as sound
in sentiment, strong in plot, original in
design and remarkably rich in fine stage
effects. 1t will be presented here two
nights, and with all the detail with
which 1T was recently given in San
Francisco and by the same competent
support.

mans release on bail.
h" TIE Motion was made before Judge Brad
ley yesterday afternoon, and the matter
went over until today in order to allow the
judge to read the testimony taken at the
inquest. Assistant District Attorney Shil-
lington stated to the court that District
Attorney" Davis before leaving the city last
Monday had expressed himself as being
satisfied with BAH In the sum of 81, 500.
The Woman'S counsel offered two colorcd
men, Geo. r. Chapman and James H. Wins

questioning them, refused to accept them
as bondsmen
The judge remarked that while the evil
dence against the woman is circumstantial,
yet prima facie case seemed to be eStab-
lished, and he would not, in view of the
gravity of the alleged offense. accept other
than the very best hondsmen.
The court also minated that the amount
of bail suggested was small, but remarked
that If the district attorney was satisfied
with Such an amount the court would not
increase it.
= Counsel for Mrs Campbell hope to be
able to secure bondsuen satisfactory to
the court some time today or tomorrow.
