INVENTORS HOPES REVIVED.
Was Delighted at Finding View Cut
 Off at Ball Game.

"At one time," says an inventor, according to the New York Sun, I feared that the widespread adoption by women of the custom of removing their hats in theaters had deprived me of the fruits of an invention which had spent many weary hours, aye, weeks and months in perfecting, this being my binocular theatroscope, by the use of which one could look right around any obstruction whatever that might be in front of him, around the largest and opaquest of picture hats, for instance, as easily as any thing. and see the stage and every body on it as plainly as he could with an unobstructed view.
 q had this great invention, which promised to yield me large fortune, all but ready to put on the market when, as though by common impulse, women all over the country alopted the custom of taking off their hats in the theater, and all my time and labor spent on the binocular theatro- scope seemed to be lost. But:
 At a ball game, the first I had at tended in years, that I went to the other day with the hope that I might forget for the moment in the excite ment of the game the wreck of my hopes of fortune, had an experience that filled me with great joy.
 T had very good seat, one from which l had a good view of the dia- mond and in fact of the whole field until the seats immediately in front of me were occupied; and then couldn't see anything at all.
 ''Those seats were taken by two young women in picture hats, which cut off my view as completely as if it had been cut off by range of noun tains. l couldn't see the home plate
 
 now, nor the second base, nor any other base; not even the field.
 "They might have run the bases ir automobiles and caught flies in crat nets, and I'd never have known the difference. But this situation filled me with great delight nevertheless for what a prospect this all opened uI for my binocular theatroscopet More needed here than ever it bad been il the theater, and what boon itMoulc be! sFM q "And so 1 sat there through tn, game, never seeinga thing, but en l ioyIa}g the game more than haC ; , ''ii njoyed game before, dream | may the fortune that would yet b, of +boc

ly jealous of another man and that he
spent all last night looking for his

Great expectations are entertained
concerning the proceedings OF the
California Miners Association at the
annual convention that will be opened
tomorrow at the Hotel st. Fran
els. The programme has already been
published in The Call. Technical pa
pers will take the attention OF the del
egates to some extent, but there are
topics of concern to the entire State
on the list to be considered.
OF leading Importance will probably
be the subject treated by z. A. Belcher.
namely, The Mineral Land Laws or
the United States" At all times the
laws relating to mines are lively
topic. The matter of next Importance
possibly may be gold dredging. which
will be treated by l. ]. Hohl. This
has been discussed actively during the
year, as readers of mining news and all
miners are aware. Charles @. Yale.
statistician for the United States Mint
in this city and also for the California
State Mining Bureau. will talk about
mineral statistics. The subject is full
of pith.
Some ground for discussion may be
found in a recent report made by Wag-
gOner, State Debris Commissioner. A
few of his statements have already
given rise to comment Waggoner says
that "as the mines have shut down.
the records show that the high water
mark at Marysville has been getting
higher, nearly every succeeding winter
breaking the records Of preceding
years. The Yuba is securing channel
through the tailings and dumping into
the Feather River and ii will not be
many years befc.S that channel will
be filed"
In another place Waggoner says that
'the result OF debris legislation has
been that the miners have lost and 1t
will be only a comparatively few years
when 1t will be the valleys turn" Some
paragraphs attributed to Waggoner. in
an interview that is going through
the papers IN the interior. are as fol-

USE OF THE GRAND.
City Council Will Consider the
Question of It's Utility.

1t seems likely that another special
meeting of the city council will be call
ed for either tonight or Saturday night
to determine whether or not the Grand
opera house shall be allowed to I'LL the
place of the Crawford while the Craw-
ford is undergoing repairs.
Fire Marshal WiImarth has had two
long conferences with Mayor Bergund-
lieve that a definite plan of action will
be decided upon before time for the en-
tertainment to begin tonight.
1t is said that the principal trouble
with the Grand is general decay from
long disuse. but which can easily be
remedied. The stairways which serve
as exits on the north and south sides Of
the building are not as safe as they
should be, the electric wiring is no
doubt in bad condition. and the boilers
of the heating plant in the basement
subject to question. There is no water
supply of any kind in the building. and
this is one of the features most Sc
verely criticised. Most of these defects
could be rectifed without much time or
expense and it is likely that the Craw-
ford management will be allowed to
continue to use the Grand.
| One of the first things the city coun-
| ell will do after the present agitation
has subsidized a little is to revise the ex-
listing ordinance governing theaters and
other public buildings. 1t takes an
emergency of this kind to find the holes
in an ordinance. and while the old the
alter ordinance is standing the. strain
better than some city ordinances, it can
| be improved on
The principal trouble with the old
ordinance is that it gives the city no
| authority to enforce an order closing a
theater, except by injunction. 1t
does not give the mayor or council pow
er to send the police force if necessary
to shut the doors of a dangerous the
alter. The ordinance is also rather
vague and indefinite as to it's terms
The proba bility is that when the or
dinance is revised, more authority in
such matters will be given to the fire
marshal. and less to the mayor an6
| council
