BLACK Crook.

Imre Kiralfy's Black Crook will be
produced for the first time in Los Ange-
les on Monday night at the Grand Opera
House. The production will be exactly
the same which characterized it's enor-
nous success at the Grand Opera House
in San Francisco. There is no exagger-
alton in the statement that the Black
Crook is the most gorgeous spectacle seen
in this city for number of years. The
magnifcence of the scenery and cos
tunes, coupled with the Introduction of
intricate mechanical effects and novel
Transformation scenes, make up an at
traction which will please everybody.
The scenery is all painted by Europe's
greatest artists, such as. Charfezat and
Robecchi, of Paris. The cos
tunes are made in London. The
company comprises over seventy-five
people. Mons. Arnold will make his
first appearance here. He is now con-
sidered one of the foremost dancers of
the Premieres. There will be Mile.
Lole from the Royal Opera House in Ber
lin and corps de ballet of forty expert
enced dancers. OF the specialties intro
duced are Bobb and Bobb, musical
eccentricities, the funny Dare Brothers,
and the Ongar Sisters, the greatest ereial
performers ever seen in this country. As
the company does not play anywhere be-
tween San Francisco and Los Angeles a
good performance can be looked for on
Monday night.

on which the taxes for all pur-
poses may not exceed dozen dol
lars, but the payment of it all,
city and county, comes at time when
the few presents Of the holidays are to
be provided. Now, too many of us
know how hard it is for the wage Garner,
the industrious mechanic or the frugal
clerk to see the color of one big double
eagle to the fore at one and the same
moment. The plan to have taxes pay
able in installments will enable such a
person to take the meagre savings OF one
month to provide little reminders of the
holidays to make many hearts glad, to
rely upon what may be spared from
another month to pay part of his
county taxes, and he will have a breath
ing spell before the other moiety OF this
burden is due. He will not quickly find
fault with the plan which thus makes
things easy for him. He will be more
than willing to make the second trip in
the year to the desk OF the inexorable
official whose features are about as I'M
pleasant to the poor man as are those OF
grim death himself.
There is corolary of this proposition
which is making as popular head
way as the main theorem. That
is to have the taxes collected
at various points in the county. 1t will
not be necessary to greatly increase the
Tax Collectors forces. Sufficient relief
will be found in this plan if there are a
couple of efficient and trusty deputies
who will, for month or so, make pill
grimages through the county for the pur-
pose of collecting taxes. Let him visit
Santa Ana for a couple of days and then
move up to Anaheim. His next stop
may be at Downey City and then at
Santa Fe Springs. Ii his coming
| is we'll advertised the taxpayers
of any district may we'll be prepared and
see that they benefit by his convenient
presence. There will be dilatory people,
of course, who will never benefit by any
thing. Let them reap their own reward
and make journey to the central Office
at Los Angeles at later day and at much
expense. This is simple plan which
is entirely feasible.
There is but one more thing to add to
this to make the measure of relief quite
full. Let the City Council supplement
the action of the Legislature and make
the municipal taxes payable in two
installments. Here is chance
for some member OF this body to dis
tinguish himself at once. He can do it
by introducing resolution providing for
the payment of city taxes hereafter in
October and April. These dates lie
midway between January and June,
and thus no two tax payments would
fall together. Let the ordinance contain
a provision which will allow those who
desire to pay all down at once, as the
proposed State law is to do. The put
ting of these measures through will be
of no small benefit to the people.

He Did Not Run.

]. g. Mcfarland, the champion long
distance runner of the Coast, states he
did not enter in the race last
night because he oversight himself,
and found, on arriving at the track
about an hour after the start had been
made, that the 500 stake was not up,
and he accordingly did not see fit to
make any running. He says the track is
short, making thirty laps or 30 to the
mile, instead of twenty-one, as claimed.
This, if true, will seriously affect any re-
cord made on it.

A HOTEL BURNED.

The La Clede Goes UP In Smoke.
Last night at 2 O'Clock the fire-bell
rang out on the quiet air in right alarm
ing style. A moment later and the air
was full of the reports of pistols and
then the rumble Of the engines as she
flew through the streets woke the peace
full sleeper all the way down to the new
depot near which the fire was.
1t was the old La Clede Hotel,
on Elmira street, near San Fer
nando, nearly opposite the depot,
that was in flames. 1t was an old shell,
dry as tinder-box, and as it lay
remote from the machines it was all
ablaze when the water was first turned
on. Despite the most strenuous efforts
of Chief Moriarty and his able corps
OF brave laddies, the building and nearly
all its contents were soon reduced to a
pile of ashes and cloud of smoke. An.
other clearinghouse near by suffered a
similar fate, or nearly as bad, and sew.
eral buildings were badly scorched.
The hotel was kept by a man named
Grubbs, and neither he nor
any other person about the premises
had the remotest notion of how the fire
originated. All they could say was that
they heard loud report and then mo-
ment afterwards the building was in
blaze.
Grubbs stated that his loss is about
5000 in furniture, on which there is in
surance to the amount of $500.
The building belongs to w. w. Camp
bell, whose residence is at Riverside.
His loss is probably between $1,000 and
$4,000. 1t is not known whether he
has any insurance or not The
total loss is about $4,000. The old
rookery is in the midst of a
thickly packed nest of frame buildings.
and it is quite victory for the
department to have been able to confine
the flames to the immediate premises
whore the fire originated.

From the New York sun.
The German doctors, who of late years
have conducted an exceptionally successful
campaign against corsors and false hair in
Germany, have now declared war against
the garter. "The greatest injury done by
the gar" said a physician in Berlin, is
the disturbance OF the circulation of the
blood in the lower leg. The pressure of
the garter hiudsrs the influx there of fresh
blood, and that part of the body, thus de-
priyed of nourishment, remains unde-
veloped. 1t is weak and often refuses to
do its duty in walking. The how of the
blood already used from the leg below the
garter is also retarded, and very peculiar
phenomena often follow. The first symptom
oftroublo isvaricose veins, which frequen-
uy have very serious consequences. Narix
is notably much more frequent among
women than among men. Tho cause of
the difference is the garter. The pressure
of the garter III also responsible for most
swelling Of the feet, accompanied by feel
ing OF general exhaustion. The inyalids,
for they are such, are no longer fit even To
attend to their light duties about the ho ouse.
Whenever the garter is LETT of soon enough
all these painful diseases vanish. Delay in
applying this remedy results generally in
greater or less defornity Of the leg and
foot, and in the incapacity of both TO dis
charge all the functions properly 10 be ex-
pected of them. The garter must go.

Immediately available, aud yet Secre-

finally commissioned, but il was not
wise IN run even this small risk.
The new ships had waited long enough
in harbor to warrant some anxiety to get
them into active service, but they might
have been held within easy call until
others were quite ready. The Brazil ex-

n, Pendleton and HIS Ancestors.

Ex.Minister to Germany George ii.
rendleton, whose death was announced
on Monday, belonged to very distin-
9uished family with members In public
llfe from colonial days to date. He
married q daughter Of Francis Scott
Key, the author of The Star Spangled
Banner but she was killed by being
thrown from her carriage IN runaway
in 1885. These facts Of ancestry are re-
rCfted ~ aids TO the appraisemcDt OF the
loss suffered IN the death Of Mr.. Pendle-
ton, for though they add nothing to his
value they serve to measure 1t. 1t takes
very good and strong man to stand
comparison with illustrious ancestors,
whose great deeds only are remembered
and failures speedily forgotten. a
prominent example of failure to stand
this test is before the country In our
chief executive, who seems hopelessly
lost In the ever deepening shadows Of
mis- grandfather's hat. Mr.. Pendleton,
on the contrary, always stood well
up to the high level Of his Illus
trious ancestors. They were active but
not noisy patriots and statesmen when
this was little nation, and the late Mr..
Pendleton worked his own way to a
similar standing In the great nation Of
these days. He did not wear his grand
fathers hat as uniform, but anyone
who marked him was obliged TO admit
his ability to make respectable inn
preston in any body Of public men, an
cient or modern. He was not man of
the kind called great and honored by
statues. He was one Of the sort that
earn respect by private character and
public services and, dying, leave behind
them records clear of any stain, and evil
dence that duty, honor and not desper-
ate ambition were their guiding motives.
Inthcse days ofBlaines, Quays andWana
makers, 1t Is healthything for the nation
to contemplate men of the Pendleton
stamp. Such men win high honors by
giving their value i'm able, honest
services. They are ambitious but 1t is
= well curbed and laudable ambition.
The selfish scheming and false brilliancy
Of more noisy statesmen may win great
honors, but they are not tempted to a
similar course. They would rather be
right than be president, and by sheer
force of ability and patriotic zeal they
win high offices. Would that we had
more Pendletons. Half as many great
men half as great as the revolutionary
leaders would make this nation as great
In government and political develop
lnent as It is in strength Of numbers and
resources.

African Mysteries.

The details of Stanley's doings since
he plunged again into the wilderness TO
rescue the unwilling Emin, show that
his wonderful pluck aud energy alone
saved the brave pasha from the fate of
Gordon. 1t is thrilling record of
adventures, hardships and final
triumph In the avowed objects of
the expedition, but whether the
real objects have been accomplished
h quite another matter. Stanley
has sent great deal of ivory to Europe
and large quantity was recently sold
In Antwerp at first-rate prices, but the
returns will hardly do much towards
paying gexpenses. The precipitate char
acter Of the retreat from Emin Beys
provinces hardly warrants the hope
that they have brought much of value
with them, and the triumphant return
OF Stanley and his rescued pasha leaves
the whole matter deeply shrouded In
mystery. When Stanley started Emin
did not want to be rescued,
and when he first reached him
II WAS LEmin who rescued Stanlcy's
worn out and starving column. Emin
finally intimated that he would think
about leaving and Stanley concluded to
call again later, which he did after
long and terrible journeys. Emin's
officers had gotten up revolt
in the meantime and the Nah.
dists had made things very hot, SC
that Emin was found quite ready to
leave, and was gallantly brought of
with flying colors. This whole bust
ness Is very glorious for Stanley and
Emin, who are wonderful men, but il
IL all very mysterious. Why this enor.
mously expensive expedition into the
heart of Africa to rescue man who die
not want to leave? 1t may be that til,
presence of Emin embarrassed the opera
tions against Mahdists or the plans o
the many schemers for African domin
ion. Possibly the defense Of Egypt re
quired the removal of this weak Egyp
tian force in the rear of the enemy, anc
we may next hear Of the advance of al
English and Egyptian force up the Nile
for the final suppression of the trouble
some Mahdists and Dervishes. Their,
are plenty of Ethiopians in this great
African woodpile.

Oyerabnndance of wild Game.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The markets are overloaded with wild
game of nearly all kinds. Dealers say they
never knew year in which it was so
plentiful, especially rabbits and quail.
Not only does this oyerabundanco apply to
the West, hut To PENNSYLVANIA and
Now Jersey also. There were "thous-
ands and thousands" of rabbits and
quail in market last week, and
prices were "away down" Quail, which
last year sold wholesale at 81. so and So a
dozen, We're selling yesterday at Sl50 and
81. Rabbits could be bought Tor 25 and 80
cents pair, against so cents last year, and
gray squirrels were offered for five cents
a piece Pheasants and grouse are not in
such abundant supply, but they can be
bought for s6 dozen.
IL may be said that one cause of the low
prices is, that much Of the game coming
trOnl the West does not arrive in the best
condition, yet il is said that the prices
quoted are for sound stock,
