ADJUSTMENTS.

For Manager Ficks' benefit next
Thursday evening at the opera-house
we are to have Dennis O'Sullivan. actor
and singer, native of San Francisco,
but who achieved his first must
cal reknown in Europe, a baritone
ballad singer, known as we'll by
the title .'Shamus O'Brien" as
by his real name. He is pre-em1-
nently an interpreter of modern Irish
music, but does not conf1ne his program
to such selections. taking, in addition,
gems from the whole range of operate
beauty 1t was O'Sullivan who for two
years sustained the romantic role of
Marquis Saint Andre in Francis Viii
sons opera, "The Little Corporal" In
the concert here he will present about
an equal number of ancient and mod
ern songs of Ireland. Modern Irish
music is little known in this country
such composers as Villiers, Stanford,
Alicia, Needhan, Arthur Summerville
and Charles Wood. to whom we owe
some OF the most beautiful music OF
this generation, are little heard here
OSullivan interpretS all of them with
humor, pathos and the touching patriot
ism of his Irish blood as we'll as with
high artistic taste and effect in re-
markable baritone voice. He will give
us on the 10Th also a number of Ger
man songs, such as Brahms "Mein
Made" and that delicious Little
Daughter of the Bellringer," by Lowe.
Italian music will be represented by the
prologue from eel Pagliacci' and Ros-
sini's wild and difficult ella la Luna"
the hardest of all song for baritones. In
Ireland he achieved great success, as
criticisms from the Cork Herald"
Dublin Journal" Waterford Star"
Derry Standard, Tyrone "Constitu-
ton" and Armagh Guardian testify.
Each of these praise him without stint.
In his own country he has the indorse-
ment of the New York World" New
York "Sun," Chicago Inter Ocean,"
Washington Post San Francisco
Chronicle" and many others. 1t was
the New York Commercial Advertiser
that spoke of him as "the singer from
the heart. A splendid specimen Of
young manhood, full of the romantic
spirit of his race" while the San Fran
cisco Chronicle declares that taken
altogether, in acting, spirit and singing,
and command of the necessities of ro-
mantle opera, he is the best we have in
America to-day" The benefit to Man
ager Ficks is to be clear one, as bene-
fits should be; on which occasion the
grand army of deadheads will have Gp-
portunity to manifest their sense of OBJ
legations due.

Fair Oaks Letter.

FAIR OAKS, June S.-The recent
rain which fell abundantly here did but
little injury, if any. but it SO thoroughly
irrigated the ground that the orchards
now start in for the dry season with
the soil we'll filled with water. There
appears to be no lack of water in the
pipes since the third series of irrigation
has begun. Pressure in the pipes is up
10 it's maximum all the time.
A look over the orchards shows them
all to be in much better condition
than ever before The tracts are all
better cultivated. The ground is free
from weeds. and the surface cultiva-
ton is SO thorough and frequent that
all the moisture is we'll conserved for
the trees. Peaches are coming upon
the tables in ripe and juicy condition.
The replants of trees is a great
Improvement over former replants.
Some tracts are notably thrifty, the
trees seeming not to have realized that
they have been transplanted. D. D.

CITY BOARD OF EDUCATION.
SPECIAL MEETING TO CON-
SIDER PLANS.
Schools Will Not be Opened After
Vacation Until State Fair
is Over.

The City Board of Education held a
special meeting last night, Directors
Driver, Atkinson, Ransom, Johnson.
Stack, Sherburn and Elliott being pres
emit.
Some discussion was had over the
leave of absence asked for by Miss
Darlington for the last month Of the
term, the board thinking it singular
that she should wish to leave at that
time, when pupils were preparing for
graduation.
Superintendent Erlewine said that,
the Clunie Opera house being engaged
for the night on which it had been
expected to hold the High School ex-
ercises, it was desired to hold them
now on June 18th. Permission was
granted the school, and the graduates
Were allowed $75 for expenses.
Miss Paine was granted the use of a
room at Sixteenth and N for private
school during the holidays.
The following resolution offered by
Director johnson was adopted:
On May 2Gth death claimed former
member of this board, H. Clay Chip
man. Mr.. Chapman served this city
as member of the Board of Educa-
ton from January 1, 1887, to Deem
Der 81, 1893, and did much to advance
the interest of the schools He was
always found ready and willing to
give earnest and patient attention to
all matters pertaining to the welfare
of the schools, and his interest in them
did not cease with his retirement from
the board. We feel that in the death
OF Mr.. Chapman the public schools OF
this city have lost a valuable and de-
voted friend.
In respect to his memory, and in rec
sognition of his valuable services to the
public schools of this city, be it re-
solved that this memorial be adopted
by this board, and spread in full upon
the minutes.
Applications for positions as teachers
were made by Miss Vernon Shinn, and
by Ida L. Garrett Of Dixon for kinder
.garten teacher; also, by Arthur Kilgore
of San Francisco for drawing teachl1
A communication was read from
Mayor Land. stating that Secretary
Shields for the State Agricultural So
ciety requested that the schools be not
opened until after the State Fair.
The request provoked considerable
discussion, and it was finally deter
mined to open the schools on Septem-
Der 18th.
The Superintendent was authorized to
advertise for bids for supplies for the
ensuing year.
President Driver suggested that. as
the Committee on Course of Study is
doing considerable work on revision OF
the course, it would be well, in order
that the Directors may act more in
diligently when they come to pass

The older orange trees are still over
