The scotch Members Deserving
Gladstone.

LONDON, April l9-The detection OF
Scotch Radical members OF the House
of Commons has been growing since the
Land bill was made known. IL Is esti-
mated that twenty-five will vote against
Mr.. Gladstone and more will abstain
from voting. Duncan MeIaren, former
member for Edinburgh and prominent
Radical since 1920. denounces the whole
scheme. He is Mr.. Bright's brotber-in-
law. Mr.. Bright's hostility to the
scheme is pronounced. He considers
the terms OF purchase intolerable. IL Is
reported that he urges Mr.. Gladstone to
appeal to the country il the Home Rule
bill passes by only small major
ity. At crowded meeting at
the Glasgow Chamber OF Commerce
to-day the proposed Dublin Parliament
vas denounced as danger to the com
mercial interests of the Kingdom. The
speakers were Liberals who we're form
erly Gladsionians. An active campaign
will be conducted during the Easter re-
cess, in which Mr.. Chamberlain, Mr..
Treyelyan, Lord Harrington, Mr.. Nor.
lev. Mr.. Goschen and Lord Spencer viii
take part. The Conservative leaders
held aloof. desiring to leave the 'front.' OF
the opposition to the Wings. Some OF
the Conservative members, discontented
because their leaders have decided not
TO take part in the campaign, sent pro-
test to Lord Salisbury, who, however,
declined 10 change their course.

The rumor had hardly grown cold be-
fore the wires flashed the news from the
Pacific Coast of the repeated successes
of Tyrant, Hidalgo and the stables

The bookmakers began TO think that

All winter long it has been stated at
regular intervals that Ban Fox was La

been repeated by telegraph from Cali

been followed by another with a COM

speech presented him with china set Of
I44 pieces, consisting OF almost every
needful dish used in household.

IL Turns Out "A Magnificent Suc-


CHIoAoo, April l9.-The Inter.Ocean
Of Tuesday says; We publish this mern-
ing photographic supplement in seven
colors as memento Of the citrus fair,
which has proved so great success
The projectors of this fair made what
many regarded as an uncertain venture
when they decided 10 bring heavy sup
ply Of representative fruits OF Southern
California to Chicago, but their enter
prise has been rewarded in more ways
than one. They have succeeded in in
Producing California fruits 10 a class of
consumers who will always be good pur-
chasers. They have literally opened
new market for their fruits, and "a the
fair has more than paid its way, it is
evident that the enterprise has been ap.
proved by Chicago people. The next
meye should contemplate an exhibition
Ia Chicago for deciduous as we'll as the
citrus fruits of California. The better
that section is known in Chicago, the
better will it be for the fruit growers Of

J. RANDALL BROWN.
his Mind Heading mt the opera
House.


The Grand Opera House was filed on
Sunday night with people TO witness j.
Randall Brown attempt to read minds
and perform other psychological feats.
The audience was decidedly skeptical
and was glad to see committee Of most
respectable citizens appointed to SUPER
wise the proceedings. The gentlemen
selected were: Judge Cheney, of the
Superior Court, Hon. X. +. Del Vale,
Judge d. M. Adams, DIR. A. s. Shorb,
Major w. G. Furrey and John B yson.
The committee organized by the selec.
ton OF Judge Cheney as chairman.
When this was completed MIR. Brown
remarked, "Now the committee will Sc
lect some gentleman from the audience
to hide an article anywhere in the build
ing" The gentleman selected was Ma.
jor Geo. III. Bonebrake, President of the
Los Angeles National Bank. The Major
was told to secrete some article in the
auditorium, and Brown retired behind
the scenes. Major Bonebrake made a
trip around the audience, as il to deposit
an article, but as matter OF fact he had
before going on the stage hidden lead
pencil. Brown blindfolded himself, and
taking Major Bonebrake by the hand
started out on hunt for the article. A
long time was spent in the search, but
it was fruitless. The pencil was not
found and Brown had 70 give it up.
The committee then selected Mr.. Ivar
A. Weld, who seereted pocket knife.
This article Brown readily found.
Designating a person thought OF !"
was the next test, and Councilman
Breed was selected. This test was not
satisfactory. Instead of picking out o.
w. Childs the Professor selected j. G..
Estudillo, ex-State Treasurer, as the
person Mr.. Breed had in his thoughts.
The next trial was success. x-Coun-
cilmen M. Teed concentrated his mind
on A. J. Bath, and the mind-reader dis
covered him ia the second row of the
dress-circle. To further test Browns
power the committee requested A. l..
Bath to select gentleman in the audi
ence. He did SO, and Brown led him
readily to Mr.. o. w. Childs, who was
the right person.
A skeptical HERALD man was re-
guested to mentally select a route
through the auditorium. He did so,
and Brown blindfolded himself aud led
the newspaper man over the route
thought Of This convinced the report
er pretty thoroughly.
The next was the mental photograph
test. G.. A. Dobinson, the well known
insurance agent, was selected to make
mind photograph of some one in the
audience. He did so. Brown and he
marched through the audience and then
returned to tho stage. Brown then gave
an o1tlne sketch or Mr.. Dobinson's
photograph, AMI went down to the
dress circle and picked out Geo. II. Pike,
who was the person Mr.. Dobinson had
in his mind.
Col. T. s. Hall was requested to write
the name of dead person on slip of
paper. He did so. being careful to let
no one see it, and in a short time Brown
wrote communication signed with the
correct name of Col. Halls dead friend.
Brown then gave some naturalization
scenes and the show closed. Brown,
beyond doubt, possesses the power of
mind reading to certain extent. He
will give another exhibition next Sunday |
night.
