Thomas Mast.

Tomorrow night, at the Pavilion,
Thomas Mast, the great caricaturist,
will lecture under tie auspices of the
Southern California Lecture Bureau.
Of this artist the Music and Drama
speaks as follows:
Thos. Mast, the distinguished ma.
tional caricaturist, gave three lectures
at the Metropolitan Temple during
the week to large and very appreci-
ative audiences. The lectures were
very interesting in the matter, and
were most lavishly illustrated by the
lecturer with drawings in black and
white and oil colors. Mr.. Mast has n
marvellous quickness of handling, and
a fine fund of rich and racy humor.
He modestly only gave but little bit
about himself, ana that in comic
vein, and the audience would have
gladly listened to more of personal
nature.
Mr.. Nast's brief history of caricature
throughout Europe and in the United
States was novel and entertaining.
As whole the lecture, with it's illus
trations in the great caricaturist' 3
strong and characteristic manner,
afforded most enjoyable evenings
entertainment. Louis r. Vallemaire,
Mr.. Nast's manager, has handled him
in first-class business style in San
Francisco, and will doubtless pilot
him on very profitable pilgrimage
through California.

MEXICO, April 2.-Congress opened
last evening with the usual formali
ties. The Presidents message con.
tanned little of note. Abiding to the
negotiations with the United States
Government relative to the restora-
tion ofthe boundary marks between the
two countries, it says the Interna-
tional Commission will begin it's labors
as soon as the United States Con-
gress votes funds to cover the Ameri-
can members of the Commission.
The President briefly mentioned
the Eagle Pass incident. He says an
officer, sergeant and two soldiers be
longing to The garrison of Piedras
Negras penetrated into American ter
ritory in pursuit of deserter, and
upon the American authorities resist
ing his apprehension, shots were ex-
changed, occasioning casualties on
both sides. Those who are presumed
guilty have been imprisoned and the
military authorities are investigating
the matter with a view of Furnishing
the authors of the scandalous affair,
which resembles that which occurred
not long ago at Nogales, and in regard
to which our military tribunals acted
with such justifiable rigor. The Pres.
ident enlarges on the international
improvements and announces the
intention of Mexico 10 keep faith with
foreign creditors.

MILE. Rhea Revi.its the Grand
| opera House.
| After an absence of about five years,
Mile. Rhea appeared last night before
a Los Angeles audience. When she
opened the Grand Opera House in
A School for Scandal she won warm
place in the affections of playgoers OF
this city, and therefore her welcome
back might well be expected to be a
warm one.
The attraction last night was Camille.
In Dumas original novel, "Les Danes
aux Camelias," in the dramatized
Camille and in the musical La 7raviata
the story is the same-rather too high
favored for any but a very artistically
acquired taste. Besides the story, the
play and the opera here seem worn
threadbare by incessant use through
out generation.
Mile Rhea is supported by we'll
selected company. AS the young
society man Mr.. Bell is most present.
able. Mr.. Wilson as the ''Duval"
pere was very acceptable in trying
role.
Rhea herself played the title role to
perfection, barring the little foreign ac-
cent in her pronunciations. Her cos
tunes were very rich and seemed like
inspirations of the art modish. Her
acting was very tender in all her
dealings with "Arnaud." Fer to-
night Rhea's latest achievement,
Fairy Fingers is the attraction, and
the management announces that
Mile. Rhea will present every lady at
tending the opera house OH Thursday
evening with a handsome silver
thimble with the name "Rhea" en-
graved on it, an appropriate emblem
of the weapon which on her own fairy
fingers wins her fame and fortune.

mining engineer, who seventeen years ago be-
gan prospecting for gold and silver in Costa

as the most popular, of the residents of the
small but prosperous and independent coast

customs and business habits of all of them,

internal resources, which are chiefly coffee,
gold and silver. Thew all labor, more or less
under difficulties of transportation, and none
of them will be able TO develop its wealth to
any marked extent until the pack mule gives
way to the railroad. My own impression is
that Costa RIGA is further advanced in this di-
rection than any other of the republics; but,at
all events, she can afford to wait. She has a.
delightful climate, and the atmosphere is so
dry and pure, though always favored and vi
talized by the influences of the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, that | believe it can restore

made too pronounced progress.
but it is the friendly feeling that actuates
the residents of Costa RIGA and draws them,
socially, so firmly together that makes life in
the little republic so pleasant. We are always
willing to assist stranger if he drifts to our
coast, but We greatly prefer that he should stay

but il newcomer is really anxious to get on,

knows something worth working at

give him every assistance in our power and he
will be likely to succeed But if, for any rea-
son, we come to the conclusion after observ-
ing him for few weeks, that he is an undesir-
able person to have among us, we get rid of
him in a very summary way indeed. We take
up subscriptions, and a delegation waits upon
him and says:

seem to be any opening for you here. We hav
