THE EARL Or CHESTERFIELD.
A wealthy EDgltsh NobIeman, In
the City.

the C1Lys
The Right Honorable Lord Stanhope,
Earl OF Chesterfield, arrived in the city
yesterday, accompanied by Mr.. M. New
ton.Ogle, wealthy English landowner.
Lord Chesterfield is making short tour
through America, and has just finished
bis observations in Old Mexico. AT the
recommendation of Senator Hearst, who
met him at Washington, he stopped over
in Los Angeles County to take glimpse
at the Paradise of the Pacific. His
lordship only had few hours to
spare in town but he made good use of
them for, escorted by Mr.. Cowley, of the
Hollenbeck, where he took up temporary
quarters, he drove around the city and
passed a half hour at the Flower Fes-
tival. He expressed great satisfaction
at what he saw, and said that he would
come out here next winter and pass
month or 80. 81 have been to all the
European health resorts during my con-
tinental spins," he remarked, land [
can say without exaggeration, that this
place can hold its own with the best of
them"
The two travellers left on the night
train for San Francisco, where they will
pass few days, and then go up to Puget
Sound and Vancouver, and return East
by the Canadian Pacific, for they have
arranged their programme so as to be In
England by June.
Lord Chesterfield is slim and aristo-
cratic looking individual of 35 years of
age, and succeeded to the title and es-
tates about eighteen months ago, upon
the death of his father. The Earldom
dates back from 1927, but the most noted
bearer of the name was the statesman
and author who died in 1773. He was,
for several years, the strenuous oppon-
ent of Sir Robert Walpole, and distin-
guished himself in Parliament by his
eloquent oratory. He is best known
to fame, however, as the author of the
Letters to His Son." written for the i'm
provement of his boys manners. The
family is wealthy one, and the present
Earls income is we'll up in the thou
sands.

Dearly Bought Experiences of
Mr.. John Bull.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD. |
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE recent re-
ports of the maneuvres of the British
naval fleet contain some matter not en-
tirely reassuring with respect to some of
our new naval vessels. In these ma
neuvres about six vessels of the Archer
type participated. The result was dis
agreeable surprise. 1t was found that
they rolled to snch an extent, in a mod
erately heavy sea, as to render them very
poor gun platforms, to use the technical
expression, which means that the guns
were 30 unstable that they could not be
directed with any approach to accuracy
of fire. They were also very wet ships.
These defects are supposed to result
from the excessive weight of the ord
nance, and it was recommended that
the six-inch be replaced by five-inch
guns, and the anchors moved further
apart. The significance of this
report to naval officers here lies
in the fact that the new gunboat York
town is patterned after the Archer and
will carry the same ,calibre and weight of
ordnance. Failure has also attended the
efforts of the British constructors to build
a twenty-knot ship, type of which the
Navy Department here is attempting to
build two under direction of an act of
Congress. The Medea, whichiwas built
for a twenty-knot ship, has never ex-
ceeded nineteen knots, but has devel-
oped more than the estimated horse-pow.
er, an indication to the constructors here
that it is not possible to drive vessel of
that length at twenty knots. The British
authorities have taken the same view,
and will build another set of these boats
of greater length. Other vessels of the
same type have failed to develop any
thing like the necessary 9000-horse pow
er, so that the promise of success for our
boats is not bright.

THE FRU1TGROwERS
Interesting Papers Read at Theil
Meeting Yesterday.

mecthhE AOsSoAW0S
SAN DIEGO, April 17.-Yesterday many
other fruitgrowers arrived from different
parts of the State, all the pomolo-
pists of San Diego county attend
ing the session, and the Convention
hall was crowded. Important papers
were read to-day. President Cooper
read another essay on olive culture,
setting at rest a number of dis
puted points. 1t led to a rather
acrimonious discussion from delegates
holding opposite views. The progress
in the culture of the olive was shown to
have been great during the past
year, and it now exceeds in interest
all other subjects to fruit-growers. l..
M. Holt, of the San Bernardino Times
IndeG, presented an exhaustive essay on
irrigation, in which he advocated the
system even where rain was plentiful. AT
the afternoon session the fig was treated
of extensively. 1t was the subject of a
long paper by A. F. White, of Santa Rosa.
Senator Buck of Vacaville, read an ex.
cellent paper on the picking, packing and
marketing of fruit. An excursion to the
back country and Sweetwater dam has
been arranged for tomorrow.

Etiauette at the Opera.

Ladies' in boxes must RENE mber that
it is ill-bred to whisper.
1t is not allowable to snore during the
love passages in the opera.
Do not ask your deaf friend how he
epioyed the pianissimo movement.
It is permissible to talk across the
house if you have receipt for your box
in your pocket.
When you throw bouquets at the prima
donna be careful not 20 hit her IN the
eve with the stem.
Do not occupy your box on nights
when your creditors are likely to be
there in company with the Sheriff.
Never attempt to applaud with pair
of shingles, nor to add to the general en-
thusiasm with tin horn.
Never perpetrate the old chestnut,
which is the heaviest, pound OF teath-
ers or pound of German opera?
Polite persons do not go to the opera in
a horse-car, nor do they enter the opera
house until the first act is about hall
over.
It is not proper to throw cherry pips at
the tenor's mouth when he is chasing a
high G around his diaphragm. One
might 90 in and ruin his voice.
No gentleman will appear even at
performance of "Mephistopheles" in
campaign suit OF red and blue ollciotn'
Remember that full dress is sine qua
non at the opera.
Do not insist on more than fourteen
encores in the first act or on less than
three in the second. 1t is neither we'll
to ruin the artists voices nor to offend
them by failure to applaud.
Never think of buying an orchestra
chair at the opera for $4 when you can
get box for 81 500. This would look as
| Il vour income were small. and no man
ever got on in society with small In
come.
Ifyou occupy an orchestra chair do moi
presume to open your mouth or to init
mate that you came there to hear the
music. The ushers would probably put
YOU out if you so far forgot yourself.
Relate all the funny anecdotes yor
know during the piano scenes and hun
all the crescendo movements. taking
care to keep two bars ahead of the or
ohestra and three bars ahead of the
singers.
No matter if occupants of boxes dt
chatter, you are not justified In THROWING
YOUR rubbers at them. You must no.
forget that there are such things as chat
ter boxes, and the noisy people ma,
have one of them.
None but i'll bred persons buy books
J the opera. Even book OF the oper'
} will fail to enable you to understand
Warner's music, and fashionable peopl
have never yet been known to go to- IN
opera for the pleasure to be got out oil tn
libretto.
Do not get so excited in storm seen
as to offer to lend the soprano your um
/, brella, or TO advise the tenor to put on
muffier, lest he catch cold. Remembe
, that nothing before You is real, excep

EIltng1wOrth to Fight the Marine
Enn EIna AnR eles.

fn Los Angeles.
The Secretary of the Los Angeles Ath-
letic Club received the following dispatch
from Joe ElliDgsworth, amateur middle
weight champion of New York:
"Will fight lie Blanche, the Marine,
on your terms, but would have preferred
Dempsey"
This will be the first fight held under
the auspices of the newly formed South
ern California Athletic Club, and will
make a very interesting contest.
Ellingsworth was middle weight cham
pion of New York State in the years 1885,
1886 ard 1887, and has defeated all the
best men in his class. In condition, he
weighs about 154 pounds, 50 there will
be little choice between him and the
Marine in the matter of weight. Ellings-
worth will be here at an early date, and
the Marine is already on his way, so an
early boom may be expected in pugilistic
circles. ANGLIcE.

PRESS ROOM BURNED.
A Fire Breaks out in the Center of
the CITY.

Number 32 was rung out by the fire
bell at about 8 AS yesterday evening.
The box from which the alarm came is
situated at the corner of First and Main.
The building at No. 20 North Spring
street is occupied in the basement by the
paper room and press-room of the Irib-
une. Some one noticed the smoke COM
ing up through the cracks of the floor,
and turned in the alarm. Investigation
revealed the fact that the basement
rooms were full of smoke and fire.
The firemen fought we'll and soon put
out the fire. Three of them rushing for
ward bravely into the thick smoke were
suffocated and had to be carried out.
One of them, Hennessy, is said to have
suffered some injury. The paper stored
in the basement was entirely destroyed
and the stereotyping apparatus was ru-
ined. The injury to the press is not
known, but it may prove to be very
slighD. Everything was insured, but as
| one OF the policies had recently expired
the loss to the Tribune Company will be
considerable. There is no trace to the
origin of the fire.
