Announcement. Of the Tbe.,e,


Matinee and night performances today
bring the current bill at the Orpheum to
a close. The curtain will ring up at sis
sharp tonight. Next week. beginning with
a matinee Sunday, the Fodette orchestra
of Boston comes. This is the most pre-
tentious musical organization offered in
vaudeville and besides being Of such mag
ntude as to virtually put it in class with
the Damrosh and other big organizations
of the musical world, It is a new departure
in that 1t is composed entirely of women,
under the direction of Nine. Caroline q.
Nichols. The other contributions to the
program are Migonette KolSin, Harry and
Kate Jackson, presenting a comedy sketch
Galette's monkeys; Klekko and Fravoli,
operate singers Al Lawrence, mimic
Nellie F1orede, singing comedienne, and
entirely new motion pictures.
The continued success of THE Sleeping
Beauty and the Beast and the phenomenal
business it is playing to in every city only
shows how strong the public takes to really
first-class attractions. The comedy ele-
ment is said to be strong in the production
and is well presented by a large corps Of
eleven comedians, surrounded by verit-
able army OF pretty girls. One of the
striking features of the production is the
beauty OF the costumes displayed during
the grand spectacular scenes of the piece
and their artistic originality. which is con-
ceded never to have been equaIed in SINH
lar productions of former years The
sleeping Beauty and the Beast will be
offered at the Boyd for four performances,
beginning with a matinee on Sunday.

PRAISES TRAINOR'S WORK
IRE Agrss.bly Surprised at Systematic
Order Of Things at County Hospital.
FINDS PLACE CLEAN AND WELL KEPT
Trainor's Record shows Average Ex-
pense Per Capita Per Month
About Ten .DolIars-Commis-
sioners visit Inhrmary.

Il was agreeably disappointed on our
visit to the county hospital Thursday" said
County Commissioner IRE. Chairman
Trainor of the hospital committee certainly
has things admirably systematized and in
excellent shape at this big county institu-
ton. Everything is done In good order,
from the business standpoint and Superin-
tendent Mumsugh has the place clean and
well kept.
II had heard considerable OF a derogatory
nature about some OF the rooms. They are
not fitted with oak panel doors and the
ceilings are not eight or ten feet high. but
they are clean and more comfortable rooms
than lots of self-supporting citizens are
living in The rooms with which fault has
been found in the public prints are occu-
pied by old people. who will not let in fresh
air, but they do not seem to suffer any
very bad results from the scheme of ven
tilstion that suits their notions. l saw old
women out there. as well as men, who
appear as contented as many others in this
city who are not county charges. Alto
sether. l think the county hospital is in
such shape that 1t reflects great credit on
Mr.. Trainor." ....
Trainor Keeps All Items.
Commissioner Trainor. since he has had
an itemized record. in what he calls my
little book" OF all supplies received and
consumed, as we'll all other items of
hospital cost. This book is made up
monthly from the report OF the superin-
tendent and gives figures on every item of
cost. 1t shows the average expense per
capita is just about $40 per month, or $40
year. On their visit the commissioners
figured that the inmates are kept in COM
fort and in plenty at an expense of 80 cents
a day, approximately. This includes every
thing light and fuel as well as the cost
of provisions, medicines and such things.
Mr.. Trainors book for 1905 shows on the
matter OF live stock alone, taking in the
item of milk from ten cows, there has
been turned into the county treasury "a
| surplus of $500. In other years there was
a deficit in the stock item ranging quite up
to $500 a year. At present, under the per-
fected system in force. there is absolutely
no chance for waste or extravaganza.
| Every separate account for the month
| must show level average, or good reason
! must be shown for the increase.
Friday morning the county commissioners
made a trip through the Offices in the court
| house, beginning with the superintendent
and the county engineer in the basement
and winding up with the clerk OF court
| on the top floor. This afternoon the COM
missioners are giving interviews to the va
| rious county officers with the object of
| finding out just the number of clerks or
assistants they need to properly carry on
| the business of their Offices. The inforrna-
| ton gained in these interviews will be used
| as the basis for the allowance Of help that
will be made for the ensuing year.

San Francisco, Nov. 14.-Secretary
of Commerce and Labor Metcalf, who
was sent to San Francisco by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to investigate the ex-
clusion of Japanese children from the
schools attended by whites, has con-
cluded his work and will depart for
Washington to make his report. Sec.
rotary Metcalf has, during his visit
here, gone very thoroughly into the
matter and will take a great amount
of statistics and facts bearing on the
case to Washington with him. He
heard complaints OF the alleged boy
cotting of Japanese restaurants and
other places of business; investigated
cases of assault on Japanese, and the
numerous street brawls between Japa-
nese and white boys.
Secretary Metcalf declined to say
what conclusions he had reached or
to make any statement until he has
made his report to the president.

1t has become known in federal cir.

subject of investigation by govern,
ment officials. AS a result it is as.
serted indictments will follow. The

That the character of the land had
been carefully studied is shown by
the fact that a flowing oil well haa
already been developed.
The inquiry is being made through
the Office of United States Attorney
Devlin of San Francisco. Federal
agents have been at work for several
weeks in Kern county. From Their
preliminary reports 1t is believed that
the manner in which the land was Sc
cured will warrant indictments on the
