Perkins at the head of things. Perkins is naturally funny and he has a role in “The Man From Mexico’” that suits him. One looks and laughs and that’s the end of it. Mr. Perkins is well supported by the Grand Opera-house stock company, particularly by Miss Laura Nel- son Hall as Ciementina Fitzhugh. There are more laughs coming next week when “My Friend From India” will be the bill. e “A Female Drummer” is doing rather dull business at the California Theater this week. It owes what merit it has to the efforts of Johnstone Bennett, who as- sumes the leading role. The California’s next attraction will be “Sporting Life,” beginning Sunday night. The big scenic production comes_here di- rect from extended runs in New York and Chicago, and among the many sensational features of the piece is a horse race and a realistic prizefight. Lilllan Lamson, sister of Nance O'Neil, is the leading lady of the company. LR The Central has this week a good per- formance of “The Cotton King,”’ the big industrial melodrama. The mechanical effects in the great “‘cotton mill scene” are surprisingly realistic and throughout the performance is a satisfactory one. Next week the attraction will be “The Great Northwest'." A Next week the Alcazar will put on “Tennessee's Pardner,” with Agnes Ran- kin in the prlncl?al :O]e'. “The Beaux and Belles” octet is the Orpheum’s star show of the week and with a repertoire of everything that is good in their line and the best way of doing it whiles away a too short min- ute to the nightly delight of the Orpheum crowds. Mignonette Kokin is a fetching little dancer and_Francis Le Page, John Geiger, Monroe, Mack and Lawrence, De Courcy Brothers, Thomas Baker, Joe, Myra and Buster Keaton and the blo- graph complete the attractive bill. R The Geissler - Hirschhorn Tyrolean troupe, George Jones, Maud de Alma, Harry Holmes, Herr Huber, Eleanore Jen- kins and Claire Fex are the entertainers HE Tivoll was crowded Tuesday night to its capacity for the in- itial performance of ‘“La Bo- heme,” the first time of its giving at the popular house. The opera is excellently cast, and went with spirit and considerable smoothness. For the | first time this season Montanari is heard | in a role that fully suits her, the grace- | ful and pathetic little figure of the Paris- | ian grisette, Mimi, and she is wholly sym- | pathetic and pleasing in the part. Agos- | tini is a splendid Rudolph, singing mag- nificently and acting with ardor and truth. His duet with Montanari in the first scene was exquisite. Repetto is a dainty Mu- setta, playing and singing her part with grace and spirit. The Bohemian trio, Schaunard, Marcel and Colline, are re- spectively sang by Zani, who does effect- ive work as the hungry musiclan: Fer- rari, whose Marcel comedy spirit, and basso was invaluable Dado was encored enth tically in the pathetic song to his old coat. Cortesi does very good work—he has been a useful member of the company this season—in the usual double role of Benoit, the hard- hearted landlord, and Alcindoro. The opera is admirably staged and costumed, and barring longish waits between acts goes easily and smoothly. It is a little boisterous in places, but will doubtless tone down with further presentments. La Boheme” goes agaln to-night and “Norma,” with Avedano, Barbareschi, Pollettini and Dado, comes to-morrow. DS “The Henrietta” at the Columbia, in the competent hands of Stuart Robson and his company, is delighting good audiences every evening. A more finished and satis- fying conception than that of Mr. Robson as Bertle the Lamb would be difficult to imagine and Maclyn Arbuckie’s Old Nick is almost equally picturesque. Of the feminine members of the company Miss Dorothy Rossmore as the fascinating widow, Mrs. Opdyke, is most pleasing, conceived in a clever Dado, in whose fine lline's part.

The convenmtion is to consist of representatives chosen by all public bodies, civic socleties and labor organiza- tions, specifically as follows: Senators and Representatives in the Governor and all State officials; of the Legislature; members of Board of Bu pervisors and the Mayors and legislative bod- fes of incorporated cities and towns; delegates Yo the mumber of five from each county, to be chosen by the Board of Supervisors; dele- gates to the number of five, to be chosen by fhe legislative body of each’ incorporated city and town; delegates to the number of three from each Board of Trade, Chamber of Com- merce, Municipal League, Merchants' Asso- Ciation and municipal improvement club or Sther civic organization in the State of Cali- fornia; delegates to the number of three from each frade and labor union in the State of California.

The Chinese Gevernment, through its Minister and Consuls, have already attempted to in- fluence public opinion by appeals and petiticns and other means known to diplomacy. It is sufficient now to remind the American people that should the bars be let down an enormous immigration of Chinese coolies would inundate this country and overwhelm its free working -population.

The Railroad Commissioners called a special meeting yesterday to consider the petision of the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe rallroad companies for a re- hearing of the Bakersfield oil-rate case. Commissioner E. B. Edson was in the chair and Blackstock was also present. Laumeister did rot attend the meeting. Edson opened the meeting by stating that the two railroad companies had pe- titioned for a iehearing of the case. He read the Southern Pacific Company’s ar- gument for a new trial, and at its close stated that he thought that enough evi- dence _had not been submitted in the case and that he was in favor of rehearing. Commissioner Blackstock seconded the motion and offered a resolution to the ef- fest that pending the rehearing of the case the new rate of 37 8-10 cents, ordere.l b}’ the Commissioners for transportation ot ofl from Bakersfield to San Francisco, be discontinued and that the old rate of 42 cents be restored. This motion was carried and Chairman Edson ordered that the rehearing of the case be set for November 12. This action on the part of the Commis- sioners created great surprise. It was thought that when the board made tha recent order reducing the price of the transportation of oil it would be agreeable to all parties concerned, CHEAPEST TRIP OF ALL TO MONTEREY—SANTA CRUZ.

WANT LYNGHING SUSPECTS FREED People of ‘Modoc County Sympathize With Prisoners. —_— Attorney General Writes a Stinging Rebuke to the Authorities, . The astounding information that the people and officials of Modoc County de- sire to dismiss the charges against the three Lookout lynching suspects, now in confinement at Alturas, was conveyed o the Attorney General yesterday through a communication to Deputy C. E. Post from the District Attorney of Modoc County, who also states that he himself thinks the matter should be dropped:The Attorney General has replied with a let- ter which expresses in plain terms his opinion of the District Attorney and all others who adhere to the same view. District Attorney Bonner's letter is as follows: I arrived home yesterday afternoon to find that petitions for dismissal are being signed by leading citizens all over the county, irrespective of political lines or geographical. My candid judgment is the entire county desires it. I hon- estly consider further prosecution entirely use- less of these defendants. Even the Grand Jury itself or a majority have expressed a desire for dismissal of the cases. Unless you can give me strong additional evidence I will consider it my Quty to move dismissal of these cases. I think you and the rest of us can at this late day dis- miss with perfect propriety to all concerned. I do not feel disposed to continue these mat- ters. Please advise me at once in the matter as to your wishes, These defendants have been held practically in soljtary confinement for nearly five months and the county sympathy is very strong. Attorney General Indignant. The Attorney General at once sent a telegram_in reply, ordering the arraigr- ment and trial of the defendants, Brown, Leventon and Eades. A letter was also mailed to Mr. Bonner. It is in part as follews: I will not attempt to express my utter sur- prise at the astounding contents of your com- munication. That Modoc County is willing to rest under the awful and shameful stigma of the Lookout lynching I do not belleve, nor can I reconcile the sentiment and suggestions of your communication with the official duties of a District Attorney. * . As you are aware, I sent two of my deputies, Messrs. Post and Sturtevant, to your county to assist you at the examination of tne lynching matter by your Grand Jury, the result of which was the indictment of the Gefendants—Brown, Leventon and Eades. I subsequently sent Mr. Sturtevant again to your county to assist you in certain matters incident to the case that came up before your Superior Court, includ- ing the arraignment of these defendants. I have spent several hundreds of dollars of the funds of this office In an endeavor to ald you in en- foreing the law. I am aware that the Supervisors of your coun- ty have rejected the claim of the shorthand re- porter who took down the testimony given be- fore the Grand Jury after having been advised by this office that the claim was a legal charge and should be paldl 1 am aware that a brass band went to your County Jail and serenaded the indicted men. Denounces the Crime. I am aware that certain newspapers in your county have seen fit to disparage the prosecu- tion in this case, and have referrdd to my ef- forts and those of my subordinates therein in an unfair and apparently malignant spirit. 1 am also aware that-you were present with my representatives at the examination of the Iynching cases by your Grand Jury, and I am informed by my representatives that you and they were agreed that the evidence, there ad- duced, warranted the indictment of Leventon, Brown and Eades, and that you and my repre- sentatives were fully convinced of the gullt of the men indicted; and as you have not as signed a belief in the infocence of the indicted men as one of your reasons for desiring to dis- miss these cases, I am warranted In assuming that you still believe, as do my representatives, that the Indicted men are unquestionably gullty. . al e e P In conclusion permit me to say that the crime for which these men stand indicted s the blackest that has ever been committed in the history of this State; that, notwithstanding all the discouraging facts hereinbefore mentioned, I am nevertheless keenly sensible that the honor of both the State of California as well as that of Modoc County 1s involved in this prosecution; | and that I intend to prosecute these defendants | with all the vigor and energy at my command; and, to that end, I hereby direct you to proceed With the arraignment of Defendants Leventon, Brown and Eades, and to have their trial set for Monday, the eleventh day of November, 1901, or as soon thereafter as may be, having the ‘cases so set that the defendant Brown will be first tried. Send Black Bass to Hawail. Deputy Fish Commissioner M. H. Cross brought a large consignment of black bass to this city yesterday, which will be sent to the Hawalfan Islands on the Sonoma.

HOW T0 Whatever else has been accomplished in Cuba, the health of the island has been wonderfully improved. In Havana the change has been magical; streets have been asphalted, sewers built, buildings whitewashed and drug stores supplied with scientific, up- to-date preparations. The demand for Paine’s celery compound has grown to enormous proportions. The following statement from E. J. Molina of the Havana Custom House shows the standing Paine’s has already secured among the most progressive, energetic people of Havana: Havana, Cuba, Feb. 4, 1001. Wells & Richardson Co.: Dear Sirs—I take great pleasure in stating that I have used your Paine’s celery compound, both while in the United States as well as in this city, and find it to be of wonderfully restor- ative power, especially in this enerva- ting climate. Very truly yours, E. J. MOLINA. S e ~ DRLIUN S RS CUBA LEARNS FROM U.S. KEEP WELL. American Health Methods—Enormous De- mand for Paine’s ler_y Compound. Molina is but one of many promi- nent Cubans who have publicly ad- vised the use of Paine’s celery com- pound, basing their recommendations on the benefit they themselves have de- rived from its use. Not only among business men, law- yers, clergymen and physicians, but among all classes of thoughtful, intel- ligent people, Paine’s celery com- pound is the one reliable remedy for building up the system when it is run down. It is the greatest nerve and | brain invigorator the world has ever known. If your wife, daughter or sister is pale, languid, headachy and irritable, persuade her to try Paine’s celery compound. If your husband, son or brother cannot eat, sleep or work, and drowsy, dyspeptic and despondent, in- duce him to take Paine’s celery com- pound. It restores a worn and weak nervous system to healthy vigor. There can be no Paine’s celery compound. substitute for CALIFORNIA LIMITED “‘THE SUPERIOR OF THEM ALL” Everything that tends to speed, comfort, pleasure and luxury unlimited.
