THE MYSTIC SHRINE.
An ImDromptu Entertainment for
the Ladies'.

An ImUROmptu LuteEtaiumCHt sUI
the Ladies'.
When it transpired yesterday that
Nat Goodwin would not play in Los An
geles, the Knights of the Mystic Shrine
to give the ladies an enter
tainment that should compensate them
for their disappointment in missing the
play. The Knights had secured the
parquette OF the Opera House, and a
large portion of the dress circle for last
nights performance, and intended to at
tend in full uniform. There were but a
few hours in which to arrange for
the evenings entertainment, but
when it had concluded last night,
the ladies voted that it had been as great
success, as it would have been had it
taken weeks to prepare. The Temple on
the corner of First and Spring streets
WAS bright and attractive and, at s
o'clock, when everybody was present, it
had very charming appearance. Noble
Grand Higgins and Floor Manager
Woodbury. took care that everyone
should enjoy his or herself. Miss Flor
ence Perry sang twice, and Miss Kate
Fleming also favored the audience twice.
Then came dancing, which was followed
by banquet, which was most enjoyable.
The Bashi Bazouk band gave an enter
tanning exhibition, and were called upon
to repeat. 1t was not until midnight
that the festivities began to wane'

ADJUSTMENTS.


tAe
Early yesterday morning, Manager
Harry Wyatt, of the Opera House,
received dispatch from the come
dian, Nat Goodwin, stating that he
had been ordered East by his doctor, and
would be unable to fill his engagement
here. The dispatch was from Reno,
Nevada, thus preventing Mr.. Wyatt from
serving suit in the Superior Court on
him for non-fulfilment of contract. Mr..
Goodwin made a footnote to
the effect that he would pay the local ex-
penses incurred here and that the bill be
sent on. Mr.. Wyatt was very wroth on
the subject yesterday afternoon. "The
members of the Mystic Shrine were to at
tend in a body tonight" he said, Gin
honor of Goodwin, who, with Billy Flor
ence, founded their order. There was
an advance sale of $3.50 before
8 O'Clock this morning, the whole
town is billed, the advertisements
were in the papers, and the people anx-
ious to come. And in the face of all this
Goodwin deliberately breaks his engage
ment. Why, made a trip to San Fran
cisco just to ensure his coming, and he
promised me faithfully that he would,
and even signed the contract himself. I
intend to bring suit against him if it
costs 81 ,000," continued the irate man.
ager, "because of the scandalous man
ner he has treated the Los Angeles
public and myself"
During the day the money was re-
funded at the box-office to those who had
purchased tickets for the opening night
and quite number were disappointed
when evening came around, for it was too
late to make public notification of
Goodwin's withdraw, and host of
pleasure. seekers journied to the Opera
House and found the doors closed.

Manager Wyatt,s benefit.

Manager ID. q, Wyatt has been having
streak of ill-luck lately with the at
fractions he had secured for Los Angeles.
Booth and Barrett refused to come here,
and the consequence is that the Grand
has been empty when it should have
been filled. Yesterday, when Manager
Powers, of the Iuy Leaf Company which
plays at the Grand next week, heard of
Manager Wyatt's ill-luck, he rendered
him benefit, to take place on Thursday
evening, the goth instant, and this Mama
ger Wyatt accepted. 1t is certain
that the house will be crowded
on this occasion. Manager Wyatt
has always been on the watch for the
best attractions in the country for Los
Angeles, and, besides this, he has been
most kind TO the local societies, ever
giving the use of the Opera House free
to the Knights Templar and the g. A. R.
on Decoration Day. The members of
these societies, as well as the rest Of the
public, will see to it that there is not
vacant seat on the occasion of the

A PREHISTORIC CANOE.

The Rare Archaeological Treasure Re-
Gently Found in England.
A discovery of extreme ar cheOlog-
zeal interest has been made upon the
Barton section of the Manchester Ship
canal. On Wednesday, while the ex-
cavatOrs were at work in what is
known as the "Salt Eye" cutting, the
steam navy brought to light a prehis-
toric canoe. 1t was embodied in the
sand twenty-five feet below the sur
face. With some difficulty the canoe
was removed to q shed in the vicinity
of the engineers Office, and examined.
It was found to consist of portion Of
an oak tree roughly hewn and fash
toned. In length this relic of a long
past age is thirteen feet eight inches
from end to end, with a width of two
feet six inches. Notwithstanding the
lapse of centuries, the marks OF the
axe are distinctly visible in the interior
of the canoe, the width of the blade
of the implement used-whether
of flint or iron-being apparently
about three inches. Unfortunately
the vessel sustained some damage
in the ruthless grip of the navy" the
bottom having been cut through
at the bow end. while a por-
ton of one side is broken in.
But for this mishap the canoe
would have been recovered practically

DEALING WITH DROUGHT.

Simple Methods Of Mitigating Some Of Its
Evil Effects.
Of the two extremes. wet weather
and dry weather. I prefer the former.
In a wet season crops may be drowned
out on low ground, but on high land
they do not suffer much. In a dry
season. every thing is parched and
sickly, and the farmer or gardener
wishes he could utilize the abundant
supply of water twenty or fifty feet
under the surface, or in the brook not
far away, which is running to waste.
Drought can be very much mitigated
by tile draining, deep blowing.
thorough cultivation, high manuring
and mulching. and the inducing of q
rank growth early in the season in
order to shade the ground These are
some of the simple though not always
effective methods in long-continued
drought
Moisture has two Offices. one to give
sap to the plant, the other to make
the ground soft, SO that tho fibrous
roots can penetrate and search after
food. To lose a crop by drought is
often no small loss. especially if it be
one of garden vegetables. fruit, or even
general farm crops. Twenty, forty or
hundred dollars may have been spent
on an acre, for use OF land, blowing,
manuring. planting and cultivating.
The crop. If saved and sold, might
yield double the amount
In dry seasons IN extra price Il
usually realized, 50 that it behooves
the wise farmer to study whether he
can not BY the methods already sug.
gested. or by irrigation, insure him.
