In the body of the house there were
a very few empty seats, but that was
rather pleasant than otherwise. II per-

This was a privilege that the tremendous
crowd OF the previous night did not al

from the very slight attack of stage fright
that embarrassed them on Friday even

have caught some of that command of
spirit that made Frank Rodolph, the star
Of the sextet. All in all. the chorus went
even better than ii did before. the strang-
ers were tollier and the maidens more
coouettish and artfully coy.
During the convenient ten minutes in
PERMISSION the audience went visiting from
and made glad the hearts of the pretty
maids that helped Mrs. Wakefield Baker
at the refreshment booth. They also went
a-fishing and caught all that there was in
the fish pond. In fact when the doors OF
the big show closed there was not one doll
left on the doll table. not one fish in
the pond nor a grab in the bag.
Rattle Necessarily Postponed.

Sixty thousand Calffornians dwelling In

the Postoffice Department VIII give them
joy. Their daily mail comes by stage
route, and the conditions are such that
they are not served nearly as well as
they might be. The star route over which
their mail matter travels Is pronounced
by those who know TO be the most i'm

contract will soon be let again The
present indications are that the postal

the cut-offs mentioned will reduce the
time for the transportation Of the malls

which the people are loudly and with a
strong show Of justice complaining.
The mail pouches travel In wagons that
permit them to be exposed to the inclem-
