EMMA ABBOTT.
Two Immense Successes on New
Year's Day.
At the matineh yesterday Emma Ab
bott and her excellent support received a
really enthusiastic recognition at the
hands of Los Angeles play-goers. Stands
ing room was at a premium upstairs snd
down. In the scarceness of seats the
gallery became very popular, many ladies
being found there. The best of order
is preserved in this part of tbe house at
all times and tbe seats are very comfort
able.
Tbe play at the matinee was Gilbert A
Sullivan's "Mikado." Never was such
a rendition of the play seen here. The
setting was the very perfection of artis
tic work, the costuming was superb.
Great At tho change was from the
Brand "Borg!a"of Friaay.Abbottshowed
herself at home in tbo comedy role of.
"Yum Yum." Heraoklngwas a very
charming interpretation of the "Little
maid from aohool, with her artless Jap
anese way." She threw herself into the
spirit of tbe role with an abandon quite
equal to the great earnestness exhibited
in the tragedy of tbe previous evening.
And how well she sings the charming
music of the score! Her vocalization
in tbe ''Moon Song," in tbe beautiful
Madrigal and in a delicious "Bird song"
for David's "Pearl of Brazil" were
a revelation. The prima donna
picks ont the notes, whether they are to
come from the head, the throat or the
chest, with the precision of some mirac
ulous instrument, and the very high
notes are thrown out over the house,
crystalline in their clearness, and sweet
as silver bells in tone. Her technique,
in runs snd trills, is something wonder
ful.
The whole oast in this opera was very
fine. Nina Bertina aa "P Hi Sing,
aud Eloise Mortimer as "Peep-Boo,"
make vary fitting companions for the
"Yum Yum." Lizzie Annandale, al
though suffering from a bad cold, was
an admirable "Katisha." Montegrifla, as
"Nsnki-Poo, and Broderick as "Pooh-
Bah." Walter Allen as "Ko-Ke" and
Pruette as the "Mikado," make a really
brilliant combination.
The details of the piece are most ad
mirably gotten up. The fan business,
the dunces, and each minutiat are all
made special and close studies. The
oomedy is shorn of much of the extrav
agant features usually seen here, but at
all points the rendition is most artistic.
Miss Abbott made a special study of the
opera in Londou.
THE EVENING
Was devoted to Flotow's charming
"Martha," with its romantic incident and
sentimental music. Iv the title role the
charming eantatriee threw herself into
the spirit of the fun and was as genuinely
hoydenish at the fair as she waa grand
in the "Borgia" or sympathetic in "La
Traviata." The "Good-Night" was beau
tifully rendered, as were all the other
songs in which the four leading charac
ters take part. The last scene of all
w#._grandly sung. Abbott's world
reuWvned "Last Rose of Summer" was
oven sweeter in its tenderness than it
seemed on former occasions when the
writer has heard it. Her voice was
filled to choking with tears as she com
mitted the pretty rose leaves to the
grave of their sister flowers with a
tenderness of caressing gesture as it they
had been sentient thiuga.
Michelena took the tenor in the
"Martha," and sang well. Broderick as
"Plunket" was greatly admired. His
bass is a very riob and mellow one, of
great volume and well handled.
The house wss densely packed with
the sams elegant class of audience as
has been there at each of Abbott's per
formances, and tkey were as enthusiastic
as on previous occasions.
The sesson is a great suocesß.
THIB WEEK.
To-morrow night, Verdi's grand opera
"II Trovatore," will be heard rendered
by a cast of superior merit, including
Emma Abbott as "Leonora" and Lizzie
Annandale in tbe trying role of "Azuce
ns;" on Tuesday evening, Ambroiae
Thomas' beautiful and very romantic
opera, "Mignon," will be presented.
In the title role Emma Abbott is
teen and heard in one of her
favorite impersonations. As the opera
requires three prime donne, to present
it properly she will be supported by the
brilliant artist, Ida Coram, as "Felina,"
and Lizzie Annandale aa "Frederick."
At the Wednesday matinee Bellini's
beautiful opera "La Somnambula" will
he the attraction, and in the evening the
popular opera "The Bohemian Girl," in
which aa "Arline" Emma Abbott bas no
superior. The delightful airs of this fa
vorite opera will make it one of the
of tbo season. On
Thursday Osiifiod s immortal opera
"Faust" will bold the boards. Miss
Abbott keeps under look and key the
flattering comment made upon her
rendering of the music of Mar
guerite by the great composer himself
and it will be a treat worthy of atten
tion. Friday night the brilliant comic
opera "Crispino and the Fairy" will be,
given. As Annette, Emma Abbott is
charming, the music lovely, and the sit
uations and dialogue of the most amus
ing description. Another comic opera
will be given at the Saturday matinee,
tbe beautiful "Carnival of Venice."
This opera has never beon done in Eng
lish in this country, and its production
by the Abbott company is a brilliant suc
cess. The Abbott season oloses with a
reoresentation of the love lyric "Linda
of Chamouni" on Saturday night, in
whioh Emma Abbott will sing Linda.
Bar IHttavab.
Tho confirmation of Master Leon
Roth, son ot Mr. snd Mrs. Leon Roth,
took plaoe yesterday at tbe Jewish Syn
agogue, which was largely filled with
acquaintances of the family. Tbe
youthful candidate went through his
examination finely and was congratu
lated by his friends. A reception was
held st the house of the parents on
Franklin street afterwards.
Habits of Economy.
At the recent meeting of the Leather
dealers' Association in Boston, Edward
Atkinson, the president of the Man
ufacturers' Mutual Co. of Chicago made a
speech, in the course of which he referred
to the necessity of habits of economy.
Perhaps the greatest advantage a State
can enjoy, he said, is its disadvantage of
natural position. Probably Mas
sachusetts is the riohest country
in the world in proportion to
population. She has attained this posi
tion by learning how to save the watte;
for in these days of sharp business com*
petition, the only sncoessfnl man is he
who learnt to save the waste. In regard
h bankruptcy legislation, tbe fact is
fiat if there were no legislation npon the
iubjeot there would be less difficulty in
AolleoUng debts, for then men wonld
■learn to depend npon character rather
[than upon legal enactments.

CALIFORNIA FRUITS.
Oar Products Hold Their Own
at the East.
Chicago, January l.x-The dried fruit
market is steady, firm and rather quiet.
There is not' so muoh looking around
for fruit as some time ago. This is due
perhaps to the close of tbe year, when

care to purchase at the same time. The
wants of the trade will be more mani
fest in a few days, and as arrivals and
offerings will oontinue light a steady
and firm feeling will be maintained.

are easy. The demand is fair and prices
are as follows, per pound: Frenoh

TOILETTES OF THE LIDIEB.
The President Able to Receive His
Eriends—Mrs. Cleveland as
a Hostess.
Special to the Berald by the Attecialed Pre-]
Washington, January I.—A dis
agreeable day ushered In the new year.
A cold, drizzling rain was falling, the
sky was dark and the streeta deep with
slush. Notwithstanding the unfavora
ble weather, however, tbe day was gen
erally observed by the suspension of
business snd social calling. Before noon
the rain oeased aad the day brightened
somewhat. At the Wh te House all of
the preparations for a public reception
were completed lost night. There was
uo special effort to secure decorative
effects and flowers and palms consti
tuted the only embelisbment of tho in
terior. The hallways and the East
Room were in their usual New
Year's attire. Tbe Bine Par
lor, where the reception took
place was lavishly decorated with
cut flowers and nodding palms. The
marine band was stationed in the main
hall and discoursed strains of popular
music during the ceremonies. A few
minutes after 11 the Presidential party
passed into the Blue Parlor. President
Cleveland led the party with Mrs. Man
ning on his arm. He was in fnll dress
snd wslked without perceptible hind
rance. Although his gait waa slow the
President looked uncommonly well, con
sidering bis recent illness, although
there were a few lines of suffering ap
parent in his face. His color was good
and he seemed to be in good spirits
Following the President came Secretary
Bayard aud Mrs. Cleveland, Secretary
Manning and Mra. Endicott, Secretary
Eudicott and Mrs. Vitas, Postmaster
General Vilas and Secretary Whitney,
Col.Lamout andLieut.Duval of the Navy.
Mrs. Cleveland was a pompadour dress
of pink faille Franeais silk, plain front
with matioes lace, train of the same
color, a satin and silk striped band em
broidered with rosebuds. The neok was
cut "square lin front and rather high
with point in tbe back. Sbe wore tan
elbow sleeve gloves. Her only ornament
was a diamond necklace which was a
wedding present from her husband. She
wore but a single rosebud.
Mrs. Msnning wore an elaborate toilet
of satia and brocade front of yellow
satir, trimmed with dnohess and point
laoe in pansla at tbe sides.
Mrs. tSndicott's dress was gold-colon d
brocade set with red, with court train
scolloped over red velvet rovers whits
lacs flounces.
Mrs. Vilas' dress was black velvet,
with a court train over a petticoat of
pink moire, covered with jetted net;
the corsage was open at tbe neck, and
at the throat was worn a shell shaped
pendant of diamonds.
Just beyond the line of chairs and
sofas, ia the resr of the receiving party,
were a number of ladies, daughters snd
relatives of Cabinet officers, and others
who were interested spectators'of the
brilliant scene.
The dean of thu diplomatic corps wore
the conventional suit, but mott of the
foreign representatives were attired in
full uniform. After them came the
Justices of the Supreme Court, Judges
of the Court of Claims, District Judi
ciary and District Commissioners. The
attendance of Senators and Representa
tives was rather below the average on
New Year's day. Most of ths legisla
tors were accompanied by their wives
and ladies of their housbold.
At noon the officers of tbe
army and navy, numbering abont
250 were received. Tha naval contin
gent was hesded by Rear-Admirals

Lucius Fairohild of Wisconsin, led six
or seven hundred of the G. A. R , which
included many visitors from ont of town.
Ths organization of Union Veteran
Corps was the last of the organized bod
ies in line, and after they bad paid their
respects, tbe general publio were admit
ted, and passed through the
blue room; thenoe through the
last parlor, and from the Executive
Mansion. At half-past one the ladies
assisting in the reception were com*
pelted to leave the White House to re
ceive their friends at their homes and
Mrs. Cleveland remained without assist
ance beside the President. It it esti
mated that seven or eight thousand peo
ple attended the reception. The Presi
dent stood without assistancs of any
kind, although he showed signs of
weariness towards the close. It appears
that he was not undnly distressed and
he is resting comfortably to-night. Mrs.
Cleveland was also mnch fatigued, but
showed no signs of discomfort during
tbe reception and shook bands with tbe
same cheery smile at the last person in
the long line.

Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock an
alarm of fire from the corner of Main
and Third streets brought out the Fire
Department. Main street waa crowded
with people and two or three panics en-1
sued as the engines came rattling along at
a gallop. When the 38th'a engine wss
approaching First street, a light wagon,
in which were Mr. and Mrs. Vicente
Botello, turned into Main, and in trying
to get out of the way were caught by

Before they could get off, Mounted Po
liceman Arguello, who waa riding along
fast to warn people out of tbe course ot
the engine and hoes cart, ran into Botel
lo's vehiole, tbe shook throwing tho
horse back and breaking one ot tbe
wheels olean off. Mts. Botello was
thrown ont of tbo wagon and hurt her
ankle. She was very muoh frightened,
snd very nesrly became hysterical. Of
ficer Arguello's horse was slightly hurt.
Botello did not let go the reins, snd his
horse wss prevented from running
away by tbo bystanders. When the
engines got to the plaoe of the fire it
was fonnd that they were not needed.
A drunken man bad got into a room at
209 South Main street, and probably
had smoked a pipe whilst lying on ths
bed. The straw mattrees bad caught
fire and ths straw had all burned np
smoulderingly, causing a dense smoke.
There was no one in the room, and ths
door was locked when the fire was dis
covered by an employe of tbe New
York Brewery.

Tae HoJlaar Baca*.
There waa a large orowd at the meet
ing at Agricultural Park yesterday.
The first wss a five-eighths dsah be
tween Minnie Stratton, Amazon and Billy
Johnson. Amazon had a half length the
best of the start, snd lead to the head of
the stretch by a neck, Billy a fair second
\ and Minnie a troublesome third. A few
jnmpsby the straight track Drought the
mare up to the second place, and before
the clubhouae was reached she had closed
in with the leader in a tuoth-and nail
struggle for the wire. Amazon worked
for all he was worth, but Minnie waa too
many for him and he was a full length
away when the blaok mare shot under
the wire. Time, 1:04.
The next event was a three-quarters
heat raoe—Starters, Adam aud Jim
Polk. The race was interesting from
start to finish, Adam having the best of
it on all parts of the track. He took
both heats, hands down, in 16J and 18}
The third snd last race was a match,
ono and three-fourths mile dash, Tahoe
and Galgo starting—Qslgo carried a pen
alty for age, and Tahoe, being a young
ster, ran light. Tbe oolt was a trailer
for a mile and a half, and then closed in
for tbe finish at a pace much too speedy
for bis competitor. He struck the wire
in a gallop, three lengths in tbs lesd, in
3:11.
A oonple of uninteresting scrub races
between unknowns closed the dsy's
events.

appointed the following committee for
Los Angeles: John G. Downey, John
Mansfield, J. F. Crank, J. De Barth
Sborb, J. Downey Harvey, R. F. Del
Valle, Phineas Banning and Sidney
Lacy.
Tbe above list is from the Sacramento
Bee. The titles of the honorable gen
tlemen have been carefully omitted,
but the climax of intelligence is reached
in the appointment of I'hineas Banning
as a member of the reception committee.
As tbe popular and much beloved Gen
eral Banning, one of the best known
men in the State, passed the bound of
life and laid bis honors down nearly
three years ago, amid the sorrow of
thousands his appointment seems
quite inopportune.
Resisting an Officer.
John H. Berry was arrested yesterday
evening by officer Little on First street,
in a very drunken and disorderly con
dition. He resisted the sffioer with all
his might and was therefore charged
additionally with resisting an officer.
