PRIZE CONTEST. The general verdict
is that the contest was highly ciedltabIe
to the competitors and the society which
they represented. The benefit of such
competition, especially for those who
participate, and incidentally for the en-
tire organization and whole school,-by
the infusion of new interest and the ele-
walton of ideals regarding elocution.
can hardly be questioned. From
financial standpoint the contest could
not be called success. The receipts,
amounting to S12.40, barely paid
for the prizes and other ex-
penses of the exercises. The storm
and various meetings and amusements
doubtless kept quite a number away;
but still there were surely fewer than
were reasonably expecteds even under
the circumstances. We hope that the
number present was not measure of
Lancaster's present interest in such ex-
ercises. The piano fund does not grow
by such discouragements; but those who
were present had the privilege of hear
ing the school organ in connection with
the one which was necessarily rented
for the occasion Perhaps this fact viii
bear some fruit. A programme of the
contest may be found in another column.

Another CROOKED prospector.

The HERALD called attention last Fall
to scoundrel by the name Of Taylor,
who swindled Col. Rowland ont of an
outfit. consisting Of span Of horses and
wagon and supply of food for mining
camp for several weeks. Taylor pre-
tended he had found some of the best Of
silver mines and exhibited some very
rich specimens of ore which he had sto.
len. MIR. Church, formerly foreman of
the Epening Eapress, Of this city, was
induced to go out with Taylor and two
miners, to open. the great silver mines
which be had discovered. But when the
outfit had reached tho vicinity of the
mines Taylor, on pretext to go on an
errand Of come sort, left Church and ran
away with the team, which he sold in
Ventura county. He was afterwards
caught in San Luis Obispo and sent to
States Prison.
A similar case appears to have turned
up again in San Bernardino, where man
named Joseph Ingram, who goes by the
name Of Morgan, was the culprit. He
showed rich samples of ore to Doctor
Geo. I. White and induced him to pur-
chase horse and wagon and camping
outfit for prospecting. which Morgan-In-
gram borrowed for brief drive to see some
dear friends near the Chino Rancho.
That was about two weeks ago. but the
borrowed outfit has not been returned.
A warrant has been issued for the arrest
of the swindler.

EDIroR HgRALD;-It is probably no
fault Of the manager, opening the new
theater in thi, city last night, that the
specializing fraternity ''got their work in

II would not be a matter OF surprise In
these days Of puts and calls" to see
pews in q fashionable church knocked
down to the ungodly for speculative
purposes. But it is gratifying to see
the "scalpers hoist by their own petard. !"
This was witnessed last evening at the
opening Of the new theater. Although
there was q crowd jamming Main street
from First nearly TO Second it seemed
to be composed chiefly Of those who had
come to witness the fashionable trap
pings Of the elite aud dude element,

more than regular rates. The result
was thar many injudicious investors ia
tickets at from S2.75 to ST. so premium
were glad to sell out large balance OF
holdings for the regular charge for the
class Of tickets they held.
The public has no sympathy for these
"scalpers" in their losses. A fraud was
attempted upon the public and it has
grown wise enough to wait and get
even." 1t cannot be doubted that there
are sufficient numbers Of persons in Los
Angeles able to apprec late the brightest
talent which may grace the boards here;
but they do not belong to class SO sub.

SOME two or three weeks before the
late panic in New York Boston paper
drew very insulting and unjust com.
parison between the son of Geneml Lee,
who is a modest college Professor, and
the sons of General Grant, who were
supposed to be milionaires, with the
Midas.like property of turning the
leather which their father was wont to
help their grandfather, Jesse, to tan,
into gold. Ii the Boston pundit who
instituted this comparison had had as
much foresight as he now has hindsight,
he would not have instituted this in
yidious comparison. When it was made
1t was founded on the most base and pro.
letariat estimate of humanity. Gen.
Grant, as compared with Gen. Lee, from
a national point of view, stood on
very superior plane. His energies
were devoted to the maintenance OF
union of States, which from the
time Of Jackson and Calhoun, and
the con empOraneous eNpositions of
Webster, was certain to survive
all temporary controversies. 1t is very
doubtful whether Gen Grant, at any
time, understood tue significance of
the sublime work in which lie was en-
gagged, that of preserving tho premier
Republic Of the world for eiticacious use
in the affairs OF the globe for all time to
come. Gen. Lee inherited a disablement
which did not prevent his career from
being epic, but which left him at a ter
rible disadvantage. Personally, how
ever, allowing for the fatal lapse OF
judgment which he supposed was not a
lapse OF patriotism, Gen. Lee was one of
the most heroic figures in history.
Given twenty years more, anl the peo-
pie OF the United States will look upon
the lost cause of the South with much
of the indulgent judgment with which
the people of England, with an interval
of fifty years, welcomed the Waverly
novels. which apotheosized the
servitors of Bonnie Prince Charlie.

"Frou Frou /"

The audience at the Childs Opera
House last night was even larger than on
the opening night, but the entertain
ment offered was by no means as crafty
ing to the lovers OF the drama. Having
duly celebrated the Inauguration of our
new dramatic temple, having dealt out
liberal recognition on all hands, from
this time forward we propose to assert
the right of criticism. "Froa Frou" is o
play in which the whole interest centsrs
in the heroine. With the exception of
an occasional note of comedy, principally
refsrable to the Baron de Cambri, all
efforts Of every kind depend upon the
lady who personates the title role. AL.
lowing for the superb toilets Of Mad.
emoiselle Rhea, we are constrained to say
that she failed to realize the high
wrought expectations created by her rem
dition of Lady Teazle on the opening
night. When she becomes excited she
speaks q language which a Parisian
friend assures us is not French and
which we eau swear is not Eng
lsh. In fact, for the greater portion
of the evening. the charming star was
simply unintellgible to nine .tenths of
her audience. As she has splendid
company, it is pity that that portion Of
hsr repertoire who embraces sterling
plays with diversified action has not
been more fully underlined in the bills.
We ore convinced that Mademoiselle
Rhea would make charming Lady Guy
Spanker; and Olette might be very &C.
ceptably substituted for some of the
plays already announced.
Acknowledging great pride in our
magnificent new theatre, which, We are
assured. possesses splendid property
room facilities, it was little trying. On
the opening night, to see the scene shift
from the drawing room Of Lady Teazle
to that Of Lady Sneerwell without q
change of "set." We trust that. during
the remainder of Madsmoiselle Rhea's
engagement, no such faults of omission
will be noticed. To our infinite pleasure
one new "set" was introduced last night.
The Rhea combination is re-
markably talented one, especially in its
male components. We heartily hope
that full scope will be given to its capa-
bilities. Last night, in addition to the
general excellence which characterized
the acting of Mademoiselle Rhea, save
in moments of excitement, when her
command of English was defective. Miss
Eugenie Lindeman was effective and
charming.
Tonight the Unequal Match will hold
the boards. and it will doubtless be en-
joyed by large house.
