THE CALIFORNIA POET.
Fred. Emerson Brooks  at Opera
House Saturday Evening.
The third number on the regular
lecture course is given at the opera
house next Saturday evening, February 16, the speaker of the evening be"
ing California's wib, poet and orator,
Fred Emerson Brooks, Those who
hear him will not only enjoy a two
hour's entertainment but will be lastingly impressed bv the droll philoso
phy of the man. Below we give clippings from three papers which speak
for themselves:
He is an entertainer of a very high order, and his selections, all original,
evinced the keen sense of humor and
pathos of their author. Brooks is an
orator as well as a wit, and his delightful pantomime and mimicry kept his
audiencein thebestof humor throughout.—-Detroit .Free Press.
Mr. Brooks had not a particle of
difficulty in holdiDg his irnmeuse'audi-
ence—ths> trouble came the other way.
The audience could- not hold Mr.
Broks long enough, though each of its
encores was thunderous. Mr. Brook's
read his own poems only, and all were
new.—Worchester Telegram.
With a wide variety of theme our
friend blends humor and pathos in all
he writes. Many of his verses have
the brightness of tbe California sunshine and the sweetness of its flowers. His power in recitation is something remarkable, and his poems never
quite receive, justice except when delivered from tbe author's lips. -Brimful of humor as they are, they point
some homely morals.—IS. Y. Observer.

THURSDAY IS THE DAY.
The Sentinel win JPerfcafrer be
Published on that Day instead
of tridayv
For tbe past two years, since the
present management assumed control
of the paper it has been evident to us
that quite a large number of our subscribers do not get their paper before
Sunday, and consequently not Until
the middle of the next
week, We have also been aware that
our advertisers complain of not getting their offers to the surrounding
trade for Saturday, and a large .number of our exchanges publishing either
Wednesday or Thursday—a few on
TUesdays-^and seeing no reah/advan-
tage in publishing- on Friday, we have
decided as above Stated, to change
press day to Thursday instead j of
Friday. '...'■;
We* haye asked our advertisers to
have copy for changes here not later
than Wednesday noon, but with the
change, it is necessary to have the
copy here Tuesday noon, to insure* a
change. Our correspondents have
been asked to haye letters here by
Wednesday noon. Like the advertisers it will be necessary for you to
get your letters here by Tuesday noon.
This change is in no way a convenience to us, but being on the alert to
convenience our patrons and subscribers, we gladly help them in this way.
While it is no more than fair that
we give King .Edward a trial yet the
people in general believe that he will
never be the woman his mother was-
