palsive woman of the world she dis.
played histrionic resources which are
priceless. Enough has been indicated
during the first night of her engagement
to make patent the fact that our people
may look for week OF exceptional en-.
jOYmeut and for a perfection Of acting
which has certainly never been paral-
leled in Los Angeles.
During the second act mammoth
ioral horseshoe, from the center of
which depended basket of rare exotics,
was presented to Miss Rhea by Mr..
Childs, through the medium of Master
Childs. A mysterious case accompanied
these offerings. The nature of the lat.
ter was explained when, later, aud dur.
ing the response to an enthusiastic re.
call, Mademoiselle Rhea stepped to the
footlightI and allowed the audience to
inspect a magnificent card Of welcome
in diamonds. the Vift of MIR. o. W.
Childs. With infinite grace she said that,
never having made speech in
French, she would not attempt
one in English. She thanked the donor
for his generosity. The gift, she added,
was superb, the theater was magnificent
aud the people were charming.

paDy's New Reer.

The perfection Of the Brewers art has
been reached in the production of the
'Pilsener Beer"-it is OF the most beauti-
full amber color. as clear as crystal; little
beads rise through the liquid as if it were
champagne, and its foam is like whipped
cream. Upon emptying q glass, its ap-
pearance is fully borne out by its taste. It
Is delicate. with smart sm ack of hops and
malt, and leaves lingering favor on the
tongue. One Of its best qualities is its
lightness, causing no headache, even il
used to excess. 1t is fully equal to, if not
superior, to any of the Eastern or foreign
brands in the market. 1t is highly re-
commended for family use, and ali orders
will be promptly executed by

Clark announcing that the properly

yesterday afternoon sent out notice OF
n directors meeting nj Hartford last

II was leatned that papers nee ssary
for application to the /. ;. circuit court
for Temporary receiver had been pre-
viously prep ,red and brought to Hart

favorable TO the receivership agreed
that the best interests OF the road de-

seven directors present opposed ac-
tion; these two asserted the whole at
fair had the appearance of the spring
ing of n trap; that more time should be
given to consideration of so important
matter, and Il full bo I'd of directors
should have an opportunity to vote
on the question. II was finally de-
cided by vote of five to two to apply
for receiver. Close TO midnight the
directors entered the residence of
Judge Shipman OF the United States
circuit court, who opened
court and, after hearing the
arguments, granted the petition.
Receiver Clarke WAS made receiver.
soon after the directors returned 10 Bos-
ron application was made to Judge
Nelson of the United States court for
this district for decree contirmatory
OF that issued by Judge Shipman. He
refused to grant il without n full
