TIMES may be quiet in Los Angeles, if
we compare the present with the phe-
nomenal rush of two years ago. But in
trinsically they are not 30. There is a
great deal going on in many lines of de-
velopment. More is being done in maay
lines than during the highest pressure OF
the "boom." Never before has SO much
wheat and barley been put into the
ground as is now ripening on the rich
mesas in all parts of our valley, nor
has there been year prior
to the present one when more grange
trees were set in the orchards. In the
city there is a great deal of substantial
improvement being made. Solid blocks
of brick and mortar are being upreared,
and many fine residences are being put
up. Every few days we hear OF some
new ENTERPRISE in these lines. Yester-
day the work of excavating let on Fort
street, Just below Second, was begun.
Here afive.story building is to be erected,
with a frontage of 120 feet on the street,
and depth OF 200 feet. 1t will cost $500, 900
probably to finish. 1t is long-headed
people who are building now. Bricks
can probably be purchased for So or So
per thousand. Lumber is fully one-third
cheaper than it was during the rush OF
building, and labor is as much lower.
A saving of fully fifty per cent. can be
made in the erection of brick block,
and frame structures are fully one-third
cheaper.

A Sudden Death.

People who have lung troubles and are
subject to hemorrhages should not lift
heavy articles. This was illustrated yes
terday by the sudden death of John
Nickerson, hack-driver of this city.
About O'Clock he was preparing to
wash his hack, assisted by another man.
He lifted the vehicle upon the jack and
was about to proceed with the work
when he was seized with violent fit OF
coughing, and the blood began to pour
out OF his mouth. Medical aid was sum-
moned, but in very few minutes the
man was dead.
Nickerson was the owner of two hacks,
single man, and for many years resi-
dent of this city. His former home was
in Nova Scotia. He had been living on
Buena Vista street. His aga was SO
years.
The coroner held an inquest yesterday
afternoon, and a verdict of death from
natural causes was returned.

ADJUSTMENTS.
Mr.. SOthern In "Lord Chumley,, at
the Grand.

she Grand.
The HERALD feels constrained to offer
an apology for not having noticed the
opening of Mr.. Sothern in Lord Chumley
in it's issue of Yesterday. The matter
was omitted by an oversight such as
seldom occurs.
Mr.. Sothern in some respects revives
memories of his father as Lord Dun
dreary," in the stereotyped drawl alleged
to be characteristic of the English lord,
and in the everlasting raiteration of some
phase like "It is something no fellah
can find out, ye know" But De Mile
and Belasco, while they have
not constructed strong play,
or one with anything new in design
or treatment, have made one with some
telling dramatic situations in all the acts.
In the cast there is some quite decided
talent besides that of the star. G. B.
Bishop is well known here, since he
appeared in Strictly Business, and the
Archers' fame preceded them to the
Angelic city. Mr.. Herbert Archer, as
the heavy villain, who entrapped the
brother of Eleanor" and then used
this power to marry the sister,
in order to get her fortune, does
some clever work. His French
dialect is good, and his portraiture
of the vanished, but callous villain is
good. The quartette of ladies in the
play are all fair to look upon, and they
play their parts accep.ably. Miss Kitty
Wilson, as the maid, "the angel of the
attic" is decidedly breezy and piquant.
Sothern, is, Of course, a very young man,
and the 16le he appears in is rather
monotonous in oil respects. There are
many good points in the role, aud these
Mr.. Sothern brings out to perfection
How well he does it is best seen in the
hearty Enjoyment he creates in all parts
of the house. Still there is not much
downright hard work required of him,
and one is at some loss as to just where
to place him. With a mora exieent role
TO play, the public will be better able to
judge of his powers and to forecast his
future. He is clever and promising, 9,
far as can be seen by his work in Chum-
ley. What he will be in heavier work,
remains to be seen. The play holds the
boards tonight, and tomorrow night will
be replaced by The Highest Bidder. a play
which it is said calls for more strength 10
its treatment at the hands of the star.

Evicting Squatters.

ST. PAUL, May IA determined eff
fort is to be made in few days to evict
the Polish and Bohemian squatters in
what are known as the upper fats. "
The papers are now being prepared, and
1000 people will be evicted. This will
sweep the flats Of squatters, and they
will then be used for manufacturing and
warehouse purposes, for which they ara
very valuable. Some of the squstters
have asserted squatters' rights, which
gives them title after twenty years of
residence, and it is probable there will
BIO trouble if the attempt to evict them
be made.

is being planned for Rome; but as they say
there is considerable danger in visiting Rome
at this season on account Of the Rome fever,
which would prehapS be as fatal to us as

Keeping Sweet Potatoes.

We notice that The Cttliuotor has requested
its readers to give their experience III keep
ing sweet potatoes through the winter Be-
low we give Il plan which We truly believe to
be sure remedy for "potato rot" The plan is
simple; SO simple that a farm hand could
carry IL out after All explanation had been
given him.
Girst, dig the potatoes at the right time.
We believe IL Is just as erroneous to dig an
unripe pOtatoe for keeping, rs il is to pull an
unripe ear OF corn for planting purposes. 1t is
if tho potatoes arc ripe. They are generally
ripe about that time. Examine them, and
upon breaking some of them the wound truns
to dark or bIueish color, they are not ripe,
substance runs from the wound and dries over
it, they are ripe and should be dug.
Second don't let the potatoes get wet either
by rain or dew after they have becu dug.
Third, smooth off the ground where you
wish TO locate the bank. Put II layer of corn =
stalks on the smooth surface rs thickly as
you can. and crosS-lay with another layer of
stalks. Spread over the stalks about four
inches of pine straw or any other kind of
straw. Next, nail together four planks ur
boards, forming Il hollow. Bore holes in each
side OF this tOlcrably thick; stand IL on end in
the center Of the straw and pile the potatoes
around IL. Put q layer Of straw over the
potatoes, and layer of corn-slalks, setting
on ends. over it. Cover the stalks with dirt,
spadinS 1t from close around the bank, there
by fornin.a ditch to turn the water from
boards extend II little above the top of the
bank. Leave the top open until a rain or cold
srap comes, then cover with piece OF plank
until the weather modcratrs. This hollow
furnishes a channel through whichaair can
readily reach the potatoes all aroubd the
center, and should be kept open rs mich as
much as possible while the weather Is mod
erltely cool, but as winter approaches it
should be kept closed. Potatoes always go
throug a sweat after being banked, and air
distributed through them is very essential.
Last summeo we were travelling through a
portion of South Carolina and Glanced to
stop for a few days with c. ]. Workman, OF
Golivville, Laurens County. He told us that
he always banked his potatoes this way, and
never failed TO have toothsome patatoes the
entire winter, while some OF his neigtbor; on
account of improper storage, had tata1eit
out on corn bread and bacon. Try thtsineth-
cd; We believe il to be never failing. az:
