NO CHAMPAGNE AT THE BALL ACTION TAKEN BY THE COM MITTEE EAST NIGHT. Past Experience Has Been a Severe Teacher—Other Matters Considered. There 'was an interesting session of the Inaugural Ball Committee last Bight, at which many important ques tions were decided. The Finance Committee reported Progress. Tickets are still being sold outside of the city. Nearly 300 have been sold. Tickets are still for sale at 1009 Second street. Mr. Devine reported that the con tract for 2,000 programs of a superior quality had been let at $175. Ribbons from which badges will be made have been purchased, different colors for di rectors, floor managers, etc. The com mittee asked for $175, as the badges ■will cost 45 cents each. Tickets, en velopes, etc., have! been printed. Of the $400 allowed the committee has expend ed $240.50. It asked for $21.50 beyond the original $400, and thought this Bum would embrace every possible ex penditure. This sum was granted. Mr. Dwyer moved that badges for guests in general should be dispensed ■with. After a long discussion it was decided that the badges be abandoned. Talbot H. Wailis reported that the Committee on Decorations and Arrange ments was progressing favorably. Two hat rooms have been provided. Al Lindley reported that the Com mittee on Invitations had received fifty three definite acceptances and about ten probable acceptances. Mr. Lindley argued that the Govern or's staff ought to be granted gratui tous invitations because the staff is. a part of the Governor's personal fami ly. He made a motion to that effect.

Furthermore, he said that there is no Governor's staff and will not be one' until Governor Gage appoints one. He favored free tickets for the three Brigadier Generals of the State only. The motion to give complimentaries to the staff was lost for the reasons suggested by General Sheehan. A motion that there be music in the rotunda was lost on the ground that it would cost more money than the com mittee has on hand. Twenty-five dollars extra were ap propriated for conducting the cloak and hat rooms.. George H. Clark moved that $60 be appropriated for hiring ushers to at tend to the guests. These ushers are to be considered as employes and they are not to be allowed to dance or par ticipate as guests of the evening. H. Weinstock sent a long communica tion to the committee, urging that no wine be used at the supper. It recited that wine is not allowed at the Presi dential inaugurals; that experience has shown that it is impossible tb control the action of fourteen hundred people at a public ball; and that it would be best to do away with it entirely. It ran in part as follows: "Instances were numerous at the last inaugural ball, held four year ago, where highly respectable young women, against whose name there had never been even a whispter, were led to the supper table to drink wine, not realizing how little it took to make them forget themselves. Their thoughtless and silly conduct following thereupon was great ly exaggerated by slanderous and vicious tongues and spread broadcast to their shameful humiliation and per manent injury. Despite the efforts of our Supper Committee, we must confi dently look forward to like results at the coming ball if the like cause pre vails. The prevention of such un ' happy possibilities is in remov ing the cause, which, admittedly, lies in the use of wines. I find that we have a most valued precedent estab lished by the management of the Presi dential inaugural balls in Washington. ■ I am informed the use of wines is ab solutely prohibited." THE EECOBD-TJISIOJf, SACRAMENTO, THURSDAY. JANUARY 5, 1899. On motion of Mr. Lindley, seconded by General Sheehan, it was decided to .do away entirely with dry wines and limit the wines of the evening tb the more harmless table varieties. The invitation committee was in structed' to. hire carriages for the out going Governor and' Lieutenant Gov ernor asi.well as for Governor Gage and Lieutenant Governor Neff. It was decided that each Assembly man and Senator shall have the right to bring one lady only, and that all ex tra ladies must be paid for at the door. Mayor Land reported that, there would be six policemen in attendance at the Capitol. It was announced that the doors will open at 8 p. m. and the grand march begin atl 9. The seating of guests at supper was left to the Banquet and Floor Commit tees on motion of Mr. Hale. ' i The committee adjourned until Sat urday night. FAREWELL TO BUDD. The Ex-Governor Concludes His Visit to the Capital. Ex-Governor Budd left the city at 5:15 yesterday. He was quite ill, but he said farewell to hundreds of his friends and political followers, as well as to a large number of legislators and others, who followed him to the depot for the purpose of saying good-by. "I intend to go to Stockton and have a good rest for some weeks," he said, "after which I shall consider what I shall do." It is said that it is the intention of the late Governor to form a law part nership in San Francisco and give all his time to the practice of his pro fession, if his health permits. AMUSEMENTS. The Morosco Company had a good house at the Clunie last night. In "My Partner" it struck a line of work that presented it at its best and proved its capabilities to be very broad and supe rior. We have seen the same play in many hands, but better presented by none. In fact, the work of the Morosco Company last night was high art, fin ished, symmetrical, full of vigor, and colored just right. In short, It was one of those all-around w-ell-sustalned, ad mirably fashioned dramatic works that goes far toward satisfying the acting taste. Mr. Brophy's "Joe Saunders" stands to his infinite credit —it was faultless. If the author of the drama had other conceptions of the character than that of Mr. Brophy, then the actor rises superior to his author, and the character above the level of its cre ator. Miss Atwood's "Mary" was ad mirably presented. It was full of feel ing, aroused the sympathies of the au dience, and held them throughout with out apparent effort. Mr. Stevens gave a reading of the role of "Ned Single ton" entirely harmonious with the character as conceived by the author; that was clear to the thoughtful au ditor. Mr. Stewart is entitled to dis tinct recognition for his clever char acter act as "Wing Lee," and Mr. Yon Annual Sales over 0,000 000 Boxes POB BTLIOTJS AND NERVOUS DISOEDEES such as Wind and Pain in the Stomach.

J Mitzel's "Major," the oratorical legis lative candidate, was decidedly good. It had original shadings and phases, and compared with the interpretations of several actors who have made the part famous. Mr. "Yon MStzel's as sumption of it stands level with the best, and above some. Mr. Butler's "Scraggs" was too coldly and mysteri ously depicted, yet it had several com mendable features, intensity and cor rect facial expression being two most noticeable. The play was well staged; the scenery in the first act was exceed ingly picturesque. To-night the play will be "Held By the Enemy," by William Gillette, au thor of "Secret Service," "Too Much Johnson" and other successful dramas. The third concert of the Capital Con cert Series will take place at the Con gregational Church next Tuesday even ing. The seating list is to open at Pommer's music store to-morrow morn ing, and for single-ticket purchasers on Saturday morning. The concert promises to be the best yet given. The attractions will be Arthur Weiss of San Francisco, a distinguished 'cello ist, a Hungarian by birth, who received his musical education at Vienna, Ber lin and Budapest, where for four years he was trained by the greatest master 'celloists, including Popper, whose works he makes a specialty of inter preting. He came to America in 1894, and played with the Damrosch orches tra, the Powell string quartet, and as supporting 'celloist to Madame Tre belli, with whose company he came to California, and has since made his resi dence here. Mr. Weiss has been heard in Sacramento, and scored a flattering success here. He is an artist of marked superiority and wonderful abil ity in giving life and expression to themes upon the 'cello. Miss Beresford Joy, prima donna contralto, is an oper atic, oratorio and concert singer, pupil of Madame La Grange of Paris, Frau lein Fillunger of Berlin and Frederick Walker of London. She is a California girl who has had the advantage of seven years' European training and stage experience. She has a powerful, well-trained voice, of unusual compass and great sweetness, fortified by ex quisite style and finish. The European press gives her very high praise, espe cially for richness of tone and dramatic expression. The soprano of the even ing will be Miss Rebe Levison of San Francisco. She is indorsed by the San Francisco press as a beautiful and gift ed singer of dramatic power, unusual volume and warm cole-ring. Miss Levi son has been heard here once in con cert, and on that occasion so roused her audience as to turn her reception into an ovation. Miss Hilda Newman of Oakland will be the piano soloist cf the evening. She is a Californian who was graduated from the Vienna Con servatory. It was by advice of Pade rewski that Miss Newman went to Vi enna and was instructed by Letehel is-ky. She has achieved marked success thus early in her career. The baritone of the evening will be th> concert and oratorio singer, Robert Lloyd of San Francisco. His voice is of excellent range and) uncommon \ T olume. His singing is marked by heartiness, soul fulness and vigor, and it is likewise full of tenderness and sympathy. The press indorsements of Mr. Lloyd's con cert work are very warm and em phatic. ~>A The announcement fff tneengagement of the Grau Opera Company for the Clunie next week appears this morn ing. The Grau Company will sing here, according to this schedule, at popular prices: Monday, "Boccaccio"; Tuesday, "Said Pasha"; Wednesday matinee, "Fra Diavolo"; Wednesday night, "Olivette"; Thursday. "Falka"; Friday, "The Bohemian Girl." The Grau Company consists of thirty-eight people, with its own orchestra. The leaders are: Adele Farrington, Mary Carrington, Fannie Meyers, George Broderick, Harry Davies, Sylvian Langlois, Dan Young and Stanley Felch. The troupe has sung here twice or thrice before, and has. always ful filled every promise. In truth, it has been conscientious in this, to the extent of carefully avoiding advancing claims the management could not satisfy. The company is singing this week in Stockton, and all the daily press of that city commend it for lyric and dramatic ability, and for being outfit ted this season excellently. The "Mail," in its praise, says the company has not only not receded from its high stand ard of excellence in years past, but is notably stronger than on previous vis its; and its contemporaries in other directions are quite as complimentary to the troupe. Weather Reports. The Weather Bureau reports show the highest and lowest temperatures yesterday to have been 4S and 33 de grees, with gentle to fresh southerly and easterly winds and cloudy weather prevailing. The barometrical readings at 5 a. m. and 5 p. m. yesterday were 30.32 and 30.34 inches, respectively.
