Tb* Royal Spanish Opera Bouffe Com pany opened laat night to a large and fashionable audience. It proved to pos sess considerable talent. The sparkling Spanish oomic opera, "The Oath," held the boards. It was well mounted, the costuming was correct and even gorgeous und the effect produced upon the criti cal audience was thst a well drilled and competent corps of artists wt.e doing their graceful best to provide a pleasant entertainment. In this they succeeded beyond the expectations of thoso who were unacquainted with tbe sterling ex cellence of this really famous combina tion. The prima donna, Senora Hneva, achieved quite a triumph. She posses es a beautiful mezzo-soprano voice, which she manages with great skill. Its timber is exquisite and the Senora has undoubtedly studied in the best vocal schools. In addition, she rejoices in a very pleasing stage presence, has marked claims to beauty and is graceful and winning at all times. She was ac corded very enthusiastic encores, to whioh she did not always respond aud the floral offerings were frequent, The Senora Quesada also acquitted herself capitally as ths Baroness. The tenor of tbe troupe, Seflor Oare d, as[tho Marquis of St, Eiteban, was a pronounced favorite with the sudlenoe from the start, and the whole performance was smooth and acceptable. While there are no positively extra ordinary voices in the combination we wish to be understood as expressing the opinion tbat the performances of the Royal Spanish Opera Routt's Company are aotually charming and aro ohsraot ertzed by artistic finish and completuess, La Fille de Madame Angot will be the attraction this evening, and all lovers of Lecoeq's delicious mufde should make it a point to be on hand.

I. The Truthful (?) Times. To the Editor of the Herald^ The Times in its account of the fire whioh occurred on First street last Sat urday, contains tha following: By tbis time a large crowd of neigh bora had collected and began taking out tbe furniture. The whistles of the elec tric light station were turned loose, bnt tbe fire department was slow to dis tinguish the signal. The Thirty Eights were half way to the fire before the gen eral alarm was sounded. It was not long before the Twos were on the ground and two streams of water were playing on the flames. This is abont as nearly correct as the above named journal ever gets anything connected with the fire department. The fact is that the Twos were on the ground and "had the fire under control before the Thirty Eights got well started. After the latter engine arrived at the scene of the fire I ordered the boss cart of Twos to Isy a line of hose from the Thirty- Rights engine. The reporter of the Timet came to the scene after the fire waa completely extinguished and after most of tbe peo ple had left. He evidently get" up too late and derives his isformation from the wrong crowd to be very correct, AH the Twos want ia to be fairly represent ed and to be given honor when houor is due to them. The Times had better gst a reporter with fewer side-whiskers and more truthfulness and sense. Wm. Stokkmkk, Foreman of No. 2. Steamer Passengers.

Yesterday afternoon there was a colli sion of street oars that came very near causing the death of an old lady. A one-horse oar on the Ban Fernando street line was coming from ths depot, and as it drew near the corner of Mar chesssult street where the Hellman Hue crosses, a two-horse oar on the latter line approached. Both cars were going at a good rate of speed, and as the one horse car got half way across tbe track of the Hellman line, tbe latter oar run into it with a fearful crash. The one horse car was an open one, and the tongue of (he other car strnek an oak standard near which an old lady, Mrs. Hall, visiting in East Los Angeles, was sitting. The standard was about two inches wide, and had tbe tongue struck a little either to the left or right, Mrs. Ball would have been killed or seriously injured. As it was she was considera bly shaken up and frightened. Sudden Death. Mrs. Jane MoCormick, an old lady of about 75 years of age was found dead in ber room at 107, South Main street yesterday morning at ten o'clock. When the Coroner inspected the body, it was found covered with an innumerable amount of ants, and the face was much distorted. She hsd received a letter from her son in San Francisco a couple of days ago, telling her that he was arranging to have her come there to live with him. It is supposed that this glad news over-exoited tbe old lady ths pre vious night and caused a flow of blood to the head from which she died. After hearing the teatimony of officer Lenox, who opened the door of her room and that of two female neighbors, the Coroner's jury found that Jane Mo- Cormick had died from natural causes. A Smart Trick A gentleman who has recently return ed from San Francisco, says that the Chinamen there have a scheme to injure the owners of the buildings which they rent. One heathen will ask to hare his rent reduced one-half, and is kicked out. Every alternate Chinaman does the same, which leaves half of the buildings whioh no one will occupy and live among the heathen. A Startling Discovery. Physicians are often startled by re markable discoveries. The fact that Dr. Kiug's new discovery for Consump tion and all Throat and Lung diseases is dally curing patients that they have giv en up to die, is startling them to realize thslr sense of duty, snd examine into ths merits of this wonderful diseuvory; resulting in hundreds of our best Physi cians using it la their practice.
