PARK Hose entertainment.


The entertainment and ball given last
evening at Turnverein Hall by Park
Hose Company was. although but slimly
attended. splendid performance. al
though there had been but two rehear-
sails of the programme. The printed
programme was not followed literally,
some Of the parts being transposed, and
one omitted
After an overture by the orchestra,
Billy Stephenson gave some feats of leg
erdemain, which were well done. He
was compelled to respond to an encore.
Thomas Nawn and Dan Hinchley next
personated the Irish Market Women,
with characteristic songs and dances,
which were well rendered, and caused
an encore. Thomas Nawn reappeared
in some wonderful feats of contortion,
which caused loud applause, and com
pelled an encore. The performance
closed with the celebrated plantation
scene. "Uncle Ned's Return" which
was produced in better style than
ever before in this city, yet all
the performers were amateurs. Ug-
Gle Ned was personated by Billy
Stevenson, Saucy Rufe by George Har-
gitt, and Aunt Cloe by Thomas Nawn.
Stevenson sang SIN gwine back to
Dixie" and Darling Cloe'' exquisitely,
with an invisible chorus OF sweet voices.
His makeup as al old negro, and the
death scene. were very realistic. The
boys, one and all, did splendidly. Tie
music by Wangeman's orchestra was, if
anything, better than usual. After the
conclusion of the performance, very
enjoyable dance of twenty-fonr
numbers followed, and continued
to late hour. Walter s. Moore,
Chief of Fire Department, officiated as
floor manager, with Messrs. A. L. Bath,
H. Decker, George H. Pike, L. Chick,
R. Eckert,, W. H. Cassidy, @. Goodwin,
G. Sepulveda, James P. Craik and F. H.
Steele. We congratulate the boys on the
success Of their first entertainment, after
so littlo practice, and trust that they will
give US another enjoyable entertainment
shortly,

A Cory Accident,

A serious accident occurred yesterday
at Santa Monica. As Mr.. E. D. Siuts,
while riding on horseback to lasso a
steer, made an attempt to bring in the
animal, the steer dashed at the horse in
a broadside manner, and struck it just
beside the leg of the rider, one horn
piercing the vitals of the horse and gor-
ing him to death. Mr.. Suits escaped
from the dangerous fray with only some
bruises. The steer fed to the plains,
aud at last accounts was at large with a
posse armed with rifles in dilligent pur-
suit. The escape of Mr.. Suits from .
painful hurt, or instant death, is very
remarkable.

The storm and It's Results.

Another rain has given the earth a
benefit, but somewhat out Of season.
The storm commenced on Friday night
with fall of fourteen-hundredths Of
an inch. During yesterday another
shower swept along from east to west,
taking the Cahuenga range, San Fer
nado. Sepulveda station, La Canada and
Pasadena, in its march toward the rising
sun. Along this track, and especially
next the mountains, large amount of
rain fell during the day. At Willmore
City half an inch Of rain was gathered.
At Pasadena and La Cafiada. the rainfall
was heavy and was still continuing at
the latest account from those localities.
The grass appears to have taken new
growth, so that the country will have
nearly double grass crop, an immense
alfalfa yield and more than an average
grain yield The benefit to the new or
chards and vineyards is immense. There
was not the usual amount of corn planted
but the yield per acre Of both corn aud
potatoes will bs larger than usual. There
are no drying winds to interfere with
the moisture, and rapid vegetable
growth prevails everywhere.
As an indication Of the benefit of these
late and unusual rains, we are informed
by Mr.. w. H. Workman that his young
vineyard, but three years old, is putting
forth great increase of clusters 50 that
he reasonably expects a yield OF five
tons of Zinfandel and Blaue Elben grapes
per acre. This wonderful yield from
three year old vines is ascribed to these
warm and copious rains (which have come
month behind time, but have with all
their disadvantages done great deal Of
good to the crops of the State. Our
cattle and sheep will now have green
feed into midsummer, and the supply of
milk for our dairies will be the most
continuous and copious ever known.
Following this condition will be the re-
suit Of fatter beef, mutton and roast pig,
cheaper cheese, bacon and butter, and
more Of all OF these essentials.
I Judge Bentley, Of Compton, reports
that the recent rains have restored
the crops from the effect of the
drying winds of April. The rain
fall was about an inch at that place.
Mr.. George Carson from, the Dominguez
Ranch, confirms the report of Judge
Bentley. Mr.. John Parle, at the "Ten
Mile House." on the old San Gabriel,
reports the most cheering results. He
states that the late sown grain on the
Laguna Rancho, which recently ap-
peared to be failure, is now shooting
ahead and will make fair crop. As
there are about ii 900 acres in this tract,
the significance of his statement is very
apparent. Mr.. w. r. Dodson, Of Ell
Monte, also speaks in glowing terms OF
the fine agricultural outlook in that sec
ton.
Mr.. W. B. Cullen. of Azusa, reports
the best Of crops in that part of the
county. From one end of the county to
the other the news ia cheerful and en-.
couraging. The rainfall at the resi-
dence of Mr.. O. H. Bliss was IL inch.
Mr.. Ducommun reports Is inch.
All the crops inside the city a'e first
class aud the rain coming SO late has
brought death to the annual crop Of
grasshoppers that usually set up bnsi
ness in the months of May and June, sc
that with the loss Of a little hay we hays
secured blessing widespread and glori
ous.

The ShOemakers' Patron Saints.

Crispin and Crispinian are the patron
saints of the shoemakers, who have been
accustomed to celebrate their martyr
dom on its anniversary, October % Cthe
eighth of the kalends of November).
The occasions have taken mostly the
form of professions, followed by feast
ing, which element fourished more in
our own country than on the Continent.
1t will be seen that although their origin
is common, there is an essential differ
ence between the English and Contin-
entail shoemaker saints.
They were natives of ancient Rome,
and it is supposed they were of noble
birth. Embracing Christianity they
journeyed into Gaul, and settled at
scissors, where they preached their
faith, sustaining themselves by shoe
making. They put into practice the
Christian ideal of charity, and gained
much honor with the Bagundoe amongst
whom they dwelt. When Maximinus
Herculeus, in the course of his expedi-
ton against the Bagundoe, in 284 A D.,
came to Scissors, he was infamed by
finding followers of Christ in that com
paratively remote province, and the
fame of Crispin and Crispinian led to
their being seized and handed over to
Rictiovarus, project of the Gauls, to be
tried and punished. Mr. Barring Gould
writes; "At Scissors is shown now the
place where they are additionally said
to have been imprisoned. An abbey,
called st. Crepin en- Chaie, was built on
the spot" The brothers were ordered
by Rictiovarus to be executed by the
sword, and their bodies cast into the COM
mon sewers.
When we, come to England we find
the historical fact of the martyrdom
clothed in a legend, consisting of two
distinct stories, into which the incidents
of the lives and deaths of the martyr
brothers are split up-altered, indeed,
in the process, but still recognizable. 1t
is interesting to observe how the ma
tional character constructs for itself an
ideal out of foreign elements. The per-
sonality of the martyr is lost. The mar
tyrdom itself becomes only the denOue-
ment of a romance known as that of st.
Hugh and the fair Winnifred. The
apotheosis of the craft is derived, not,
as on the Continent, from the holy mar
tyrs having gained their livelihood by
shoemaking; but from its adoption by
two youths who are princes in disguise,
and one of whom secretly and in very
questionable circumstances, marries the
daughter of the Emperor Maximian,
from whom they are hiding. This is
Crispin, who in name answers to the
chief of the martyrs. The other, Girls
pinian, unlike the martyr so-called who
has no existence apart from his brother,
is very active parsonage; he is "prest
to the wars" and gains the Emperor's
favor by his proves and valor, and so
brings about the reconciliation which is
the end of the story. The festival in
England, therefore, is stripped of its
religious character; it becomes feast,
and latterly a reveI.-The AgtiquaIy.
