FEAST Of TABgRNAcLEs.
The Hebrews Have Entered Upon Another
HOLIDAY or worship Period.

The Hebrews Have Entered Upon Another
Holiday or Worship Period.
The commencement Of the Succoth Fes.
tival, or Hebrew Feast Of Tabernacles,
began on Wednesday. Formerly this was
one Of the three feasts ON which every
male Israelite was religiously bound to
make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. 1t was
feast of JOY and numberless individuals,
irrespective of sex or age, turned their
feet to that great city. The festival de-
rived its name from the fact that the
poor and rich alike had to dwell in tents,
barracks and other movable dwellings,
during its continuance. The Israelites
celebrate Succoth for nine days. On the
9th instant the closing festival win be
solemnly celebrated. and then in the or
thodox synagogues of this city the season
of holidays of the Hebrews will cease
until the Passover festival on April 49,
1889. The festival Of Succoth is distin-
guished by a beautiful ceremony. In
the synagogues prayers Of thanks are
chanted and the reader and rabbi and
many individuals chant these psalms.
while holding in their hands branch of
the palm tree, with myrtle and willow
branches and citron tied to it,
A. Harris is one Of the strictest He
brews in the city He has built Tor him
self a tabernacle in the rear Of his home.
He like all good Hebrews retires in this
to eat during the holidays.

BADLY BURNED.
A Woman Tries to Increase q Fire
with Coal Oil,

A Woman Tries to Increase n Fire
with Coal OIL.
Ellen Kober, middle-aged woman,
living at 4O1s Buena Vista street, was
badly burned yesterday by the explosion
of large can of coal oil. About II
O'Clock in the morning Miss Kober
noticed that the fire in the little cook
stove was getting low, and wishing to re-
kindle it for dinner, she undertook to use
the dangerous help of some coal oil. The
can was of five-gallon size, and contained
only small amount Of oil. Removing the
stove lid she began to pour directly out
of the can upon the e.smouldering heap of
Goals. There was flash and deafen-
ing explosion, and the unfortunate
woman was covered with the flaming
oil. Her friend who occupied the apart
ments with her was in an adjoining room
and ran instantly to her aid. The flames
were extinguished, but not until fright
full burns had been inflicted upon her
arms, face and neck. The sleeves and
shoulders OF her sack were burned
away, but her dress fortunately
did not take fire else she would probably
not have escaped with her life. The
amount of oil in the can was small and
failed to set fire to the building. A doc
tor was Immediately sent for and the
woman's wounds dressed. They are of a
serious character, yet not fatal. AS the
oil can was blown to fragments it is
merely chance that the woman still
lives.

Mysterious Disappearance OF

A WOMAN HORRIBLY BURNED
Two Cinnamon Killed by a Hand
Car-TOurist Travel and Other
Interesting Information.

Martin Hanson, who has for the last
eighteen months been running saloon
down stairs on the corner of Los Angeles
and Commercial streets, disappeared
mysteriously day before yesterday. Mar
tin calls his saloon the Scandinavian
Headquarters and it is said to enjoy a
reputation in the locality which is not
very creditable to the Norsemen who
frequent it. Sunday morning the
saloon was found closed, which
was so unusual proceeding
that some OF his creditors began
to make investigation. Early yesterday
morning an attachment was issued from
Justice Taney's Court and Deputy Con-
stable Harry johnson was detailed to
serve it. The store was broken open and
the stock and fixtures were found to be
of little value, not enough to cover the
attachment, which was for $65, in behalf
of Eyraud Brothers, wine merchants,
who are his landlords. Late in the day
warrant was issued for Hanson's arrest
in Justice Austin's Court, it appearing
that there were good grounds for the
charge of embezzlement against the
missing man. A number of creditors
were found to whom he owed consider
able sums, in some cases borrowed and
in others by the purchase of goods. 1t is
stated that he must have got away with
nearly thousand dollars. There is no
suspicion as to his probable whereabouts
although there is possibility that he
may return and set everything straight.

The Story In tho ssExpress', an I'm.
famous Falsehood.
EDITORS HERALD-There appears in
the Express Of this date an article in
which my nam md that of Mr.. Sidney
Lacey are used Without any warrant of
fact. The stat ,ments contained in the
Express are utterly false in their bearing
and intent. The facts are simply these:
An acquaintance of mine, James Mac
Donald, came to me this morning and
told me there was party in Jail charged
with disturbing the peace, whom he
wished to have released on bail, but that
neither he nor his friend had the neces-
sary money. 1 told him was little
short of funds at the moment, but
would try to fix the matter for him.
went and borrowed the money from
friend, and then called at Mr.. Lacey's
Office, which was on the way to the
court, and asked Sidney to go with me
to Taney's court, which be did. He did
not know for what he was going. l told
Taney what wanted. He asked me the
name of the prisoner, and 1 had to 20
out and find Mcdonald to learn the name
of his friend. Ie told me Clara Smith,
and 1 reported to the Justice, who
gave an order to release her on bail.
We went to the Sheriff's office to get the
order countersigned, but the Sheriff re-
fused to do 30 unless the Justice took the
money which the Sheriff would not allow
the Jailer to receive. Deputy Sanchez
went to Taney's Court and the Justice
took the money and made out another
order. The change was given to Mr..
Lacey by mistake and he after
wards returned it to me. As
to the woman, neither Mr.. Lacey
nor myself saw her, nor did we, or
either Of US procure hack for her use,
or send her to the Romona lodging
house, or to any other place, or have
anything to do in her behalf beyond
what is stated heretofore, and that was
for Mcdonald and not for any interest
we have in her; in fact neither Mr.. Lacey
nor myself know the woman in any way.
Neither Of us could recognize her if we
met her in the street. Any statements
in the Express or elsewhere at all In con-
flict with these above are infamous and
and malicious falsehoods.

AMUSEMENTS.
"Evangeline'' and Her s'Heifer,, at
the Grand.


the Grand.
Half an hour before the curtain rose ct
the Grand last night the box-ofice was
adorned with sign bearing the legend,
Standing Room Only" The auditor
ium was packed in all its parts. From
the footlights to the doors, and the gall
leries and all the boxes were filled until
the admission of another person was i'm
possible. And the audience one of
the most select that ever gathered
in the beautiful temple of Thespis, was
enthusiastic to an unwonted pitch. The
fun on the stage proved most contagious
and all parts of the house
quickly "caught on" and made the
house ring with peal after
peal OF laughter and cheer after cheer of
applause. Nor was the enjoyment all
merely OF the burlesque production.
There is whole world Of pretty music
IN Eudngehne. 1t is rendered by fine
voices perfectly trained. Fay Templeton
is no stranger to the play-goers Of the
city, and she sings with the same old
time freshness of voice, spirit and senti-
ment as OF yore. She is most charming
~ paired with Louise Montague, one Of
the prettiest women on the stage. She has
rich, sweet voice which she uses with
much skill. In the comedy lines il
would be difficult to match such a trio

Catherine" is whole show in himself:

erman," and Geo. S. knight. as "Cap-
tain DIETRICH" With these is Edwin
Morris, "The Chief of Police, I" and sever
al other comedians of no small repute.
Then there is the filling in of the piece by
a dozen as pretty girls as wear tights sand
Oh, my, what lovely costumes
they do wear, to be cure! The Amazon
march is as pretty piece of color on the
stage as one will see anywhere. The
calcium lights are handled with fine ef-
feet in all parts of the piece, as we'll as in
this march. The scenery is all that i'm
agination can desire. It presents as
pretty series of spectacles as may be
seen in any play in the Union.
Euangeline has "caught on in great
shape" as the gods aloft all said when
leaving the theatre last night. 1t holds
the board all the week, and play -goers
wishing to attend will do well to secure
seats at once. And now one word about
the programme: Last week it was
printed in red ink. and any one at all
posted in the use Of printers ink knows
that of this bright particular hue the
kings words in Hamlet are true-its
"offense is rank, it smells to heaven"
This week the ink is black, and the
olfactories are spared; but the paper is
red. The printer seems to have the eye
OF bull or turkey gobbler and will have
something red in it at all risks. While
the nostrils are spared the eyes are
tried. "Black on red" is about
the most inartistic combination
known to the "art preservative."
1t requires good light and good eyes to
read. Will the printer be merciful to
playgoers and spare the red ink and red
paper? 1t is hoped that when he has
read this he will take the hint, give us
another tint, please us without stint,
and Of the abuse let us say "reform it
altogether"

The Circus.

1t is not alone the Oldest readers who
can remember the "Circus and Menag-
erie" as periodically exhibited not so
many years back. A company of fifty
or. at the most, sixty people was consid-
cred as being phenomenslly large one,
and if the diameter of the canvas
reached one hundred feet, "the wonder
was and still the wonder grew" There
are more people employed as advertisers,
agents, bill-posters, etc., ahead of the
show of the present day than constituted
the entire company-performers, grooms,
hostlers, canvasmen and agents of the
not very remote period Of which we are
speaking. Yet the tented exhibitions of
the present day are graded in their di-
mensions as we'll as in their merits and
attractions. Sells circus will be here on
Wednesday and Thursday Of this week.

Hurt His Hand.

The 9-year-old boy Of Mr.. ]. E.
Hartell, the jovial conductor on the
Santa Barbara run, met with an unfortu-
nate accident last week. He had A
cartridge in his left hand and foolishly
applied lighted match to it. The re-
suit was an explosion and the youth had
his hand completely sliced open. The
surgeons cannot tell yet how much OF
the lacerated flesh will have to be re-
moved, but it is probable that the index
finger will have to be amputated.
