nFarewelI. Earini.,,

The Farini farewell operatic concert al
the Los Angeles Theater last night was q
success, both financially and aristically
The crowded house was the best evidence
of Mr.. Farini's popularity in this city
and the renditions of the pupils proved
that that be leaves behind him q reputa-
tion that will be long remembered in the
musical world. Tie first part of the
programme, with the exception of an
Introductory overture by the Hungarian
quartette, was devoted to solo selections,
and in each instance the performer met
with applause that showed how well his
or her efforts were appreciated. The
artietes were Messrs. V. Huber, @. 9.

Lulu Beattie, Mr.. VIM. Waddingham,
Miss Bernice Holmes, Miss Estelle Erd.

A. Farini. At the conclusion of Sigpor
Farini's performance, Mr.. Jos. D.
Lynch stepped upon the stage, and
presented the beneficiare with hand
some silver laurel wreath, on behalf oil
his pupils. The impresario was almost
overcome by the gift, which was entirely
unexpected by him, but managed to re.
spond in few well-chosen words, during
which he returned the delicate compli-
ments which had been showered upon
him.
The second part consisted of Rossini's
overture to William Tell. by the Hun.
garian Quartette, and then the fourth
act from II Trovatore was rem
dered, the roles being sustained
by Madame H. L. Hswyer, Miss Bernice
Holmes, Mr.. III. A. Balkelew, Signor A..

ment closed with an admirable represen-
tation of the third act from Faust, by
Miss Lulu Beattie, Miss Annie Cohen,
Miss Bernice Holmes, Mr.. WIN. Wad-

cent floral pieces were presented to the
artists during the course of the evening.

The Council has finally settled the diff
fculties which long stood in the way of
opening up Los Angeles street to the
Plaza, and has vacated Negro alley as q
public street. This is as far as the city
can go. The owners of property fronting
on Negro alley will, perhaps, contest
the right of the city to vacate the street
with the condition CT losing
their frontage. But this is a matter
for the courts to determine.
We shall, at least, have Los Angeles
street opened, aud that will be great
public advantage gained. Now if the
steps taken to compel the Chinese to
move from that quarter, and especially
from the Plaza, can be made to succeed
a very inviting and central portion of the
city will be opened to American civiliza'
ton and progress. We understand thai
the plans are out for two very
large structures opposite the Plaza
and that improvements will be under
taken Immediately that will greatly en-
bellish that part of the city architectur
ally. 1t would be shame to give ovei
the vicinity of the Plaza permanently tt
the Chinese element, and no effort
should be left tuntried to remove the mon
gols to some remote quarter. The opening
OF Los Angeles street is the result of fifteel
years of effort in the Council and thu
courts, and it is to be hoped that W,
have at last come to the end of this lon,
and trying litigation.

The following communication was
yesterday afternoon brought to the HER.

A Change of Tactics-Now that the
prose cutors and per5ecutors of Professor
James have about exhaut tad their venom
upon this man and his sister, there is
likely to be change in the tactics, that
the hitherto good nams of his poor but
innocent sister may be vindicated. 1t is
said that the first step toward this end
will be the arrest of Mr.. Pollard, Mr..
and Mrs. Fell, and others who have
spoken lily about the defendant and his
sister. The case is taken up by Hon.
Mr.. Dillon, wealthy attorney, lately of
Denver, who has invested $780,
900 in Long Beach property, Mr.
Thomas Stowell, Mr.. Dame and others.
The arrest of Mr.. Pollard will likely take
place this evening on the arrival of the
train in Long Beach. 1t is said that
$4,000 can be raised in a few hours to
defend this poor girl, while nearly all the
respectable people in Long Beach believe
both Prof. James and his sister to be alb
solutely innocent Of the charges brought
against them. JUSTICE.
AS to the origin of the document.
there is no clue, as the usual custom OF
sending the name of the writer was
omitted. Telephone communication
with Long Beach elected the fact that
Mr.. James was in Los Angeles during
the day. The HERALD's representative
at Long Beach interviewed Mr.. Pollard
on the subject last night and that gentle
man said that he was entirely ignorant
Of any complaint having been made
against him. 1t was also stated that Mr..
James was busy packing up last night,
and evidently intends to emigrate to
pastures new"

The Genesis of Two Famous Drinks

Regarding the origin of cocktail, !" the
| N. Y. San says that this drink was in
vented by one Elizabeth Flanagan. She
was the widow of an Irish soldier, who
fell in the eervice OF his country. She
appears after his death to have been q
sutler, and in that capacity to have fol-
lowed troop of Virginia horse, who,
under command of Colonel Burr, took up
quarters, in the winter of 1779, in a place
called the "Four Corners" situated on
the road between Tarrytown and White
Plains. Westchester county, N. Y. Here
Elizabeth Flanagan set up hotel, which
was largely patronizsd by the officers OF
the French and American forces quart
cred in the vicinity, and here it is that
the drink known as the "cocktail' was
invented. San Francisco Newsletter.
If Mrs. Bridget Flanagan invented the
cocktail, many convivial man is very
much her debtor. "Biddy" figures in
Cooper's novel, "The Spy" and a right
buxom and good-heartsd dame she was.
Cooper, however, failed to catch on to
the Cocktail" incident of her career.
Her canteen was always doubtless full,
but the Ingredients were not of the COM
posite character exacted in the decoction
of the modern cocktail. To the robust
"Biddy," absinthe was an unknown
quantity, and even Angostura Bitters
were not hippantly referred to
in her hearing. The Sun, in
giving Virginia the paternity of
the cocktail, has narrowed down to
very restricted geogra phical limits the
origin of the two most distinctive drinks
On the American continent, viz. the
cocktail and the mint julep. The hab-
itat of this last drink, which is spoken of
so highly by Dickens in his American
Notes, is decisively confined to the Mo-
nongahelS-a river which meanders both
in Pennsylvania and Virginia. A travel
stained man pulled up at Pennsylvania
resort, near the Virginia line, half howell,
half tavern. He said he was dry and
needed refreshment. In those days
every man was his own distiller and rec
tifier as we'll. 1t was right in the home
of Jim Blaine's father, and the very CEN
ter of the rebellion of Tom the Tinker.

farmer produced the whisky, and the
traveller went out and plucked some
sprigs of mint; and, under the travellers
instructions, compounded the de-
coction, after the usual abracadabra meth
eds known to the simple alchemy Of
those days. The traveller par
took of the delightful draught
and partook again, and still again, and
went his way rejoicing. Some years

traveller wended his way again by the

The most notable feature in the qua
drille was Mrs. Levi P. Morton. Her
costume was of heavy white brocade silk,
the design being very ancient. Clusters
OF pinks and wild Strawberries were half
hidden behind festoons of lilac, fringed
with yellow, interviewer in the mater
ial. The Empire coat fronts were of lilac
silk, falling over Princess front of white
crepe de hsse. The corsage was of bro
cade trimmed with lilac, the broad sash
ends OF the lilac silk being fastened to
the back.
MRS. WILLIAM AsToR's DIAMONDS.
Next to Mrs. Morton, no one attracted
more attention than Mrs. William Astor,
and it was probably the value and brill
liancy of her diamonds that formed the
basis of attraction. Among the throng

and it is important that the commercial
bodies of this city should be represented
in the convention.
THE REFoRMERs.

There is an apparent epidemic of re-
form conventions. The tariff refOrmers
are hardly through with their labors at
Chicago until the civil service reform
ers get together in Baltimore. In both
conventions many gentlemen OF nation
al distinction took prominent part.
and yet it is observable that the politi-
clans were not there. The objects
sought to be accomplished by these
reform bodies are all right enough, but
they are utterly unattainable except
through the agency Of political parties.
In view of this fact we would modestly
suggest that the Chicago and the Balti-
more reformers should unite their eff
forts i'll attempting to gain control OF
the nominating conventions. They can
meet and discuss tariff reform and civil
service from now until dOomsday with
out making particle of progress in
either direction, unless they first gain
control of the conventions that nomi-
nate the candidates for public office.
There is where the reform work is to
be successful, il done at all.

on Edwin Booth: MIR. Booth came on

me do my trick of picking up table
and swinging it over my head by simply
placing my hands on the top. The
table in question had been stand
ing over the footlightS for
nearly an hour, and it occurred to
me that it was just about ready to
fall to pieces owing to the melting
of the glue. | had previously driven
two tacks in the top, leaving the heads

Mr.. Booth was so deeply interested that
| invited him to place his hands above
mine SO that we might lift the table to-
gether. He agreed at once, and when L
gave the word began to raise his slowly.
Mine soon began to follow, fetching the
table with them. When we had lifted
it about ten inches | heard an omin-
Gus cracking. Look, out, Mr..
Booth [ said, with all the agita-
ton | could muster. you are so
full Of magnetism that the table may DO

it should fly to pieces and hurt YOU
The warning had scarcely lett my lips
when the glue gave way and down
went the legs and frame with clatter,
leaving the top sticking to my hands.
By dexterouS movement pulled out
the tacks and threw them away, and
turned the slots in the rings between
my fingers so that they could not be

He didn't say much, but could tell by
his looks that the business was entirely
beyond him. dare say he is still in the
