Amusements.

Last night very good house assem-
bled at the Grand to see Maggie Mitchell
play Fanehon. The pretty French play
is as fresh in its ideal Interpretation OF
country life as it was thirty years ago.
Many people saw Miss Mitchell in the
title role who saw it when she and they
were good deal younger than they are
today. 1t is really marvellous how we'll
she plays the part still.
At the matinee today Ray will be re-
peatsd, and tonight Little Barefoot will
be produced for the first time. This
ends the season.
A musical programme Of great excel
lence may be expected tonight at the pa
vilion, for Mr.. Levy is still the same brill
liant master of the cornet and he is as
sisted by an unusually competent COM
pany. The Baltimore american of
November 9, 1889, in speaking of the
concert says: "Mr. Levy's cornet solos
were rendered in way that
perfectly delighted his audience. The
soprano solos of Nine. Stella Levy
were equally enjoyable. Nine. Levy has
clear melodious voice of great range
and sweetness. Mr.. LAWN, the tenor,
and Mr.. Shonert, the pianist, were
vociferously encorsd. The programmes
was splendidly arranged"

A DOCTORED DEED.
He Tried to Ring I'm $4,000 Worth
of Property.


Judge Mckinley Yesterday dac;dod =
queer case, involving the title to $50. 600
worth OF property. Sarah E. McDornill
Cora A. Gilfillan, Julia Logan and Ned
Sewell sued Mary Pattison, James Fl.
W. Pattison and Mary, his wife, to have
deed set aside and the terms of will
declared void. James H. w. Pattison
obtained deed from A. M. Pattison,
his father, for two lots in the Grover
Orchard tract. This deed was doctored
so as to embrace several other very val
liable parcels of realty worth $S0,000
A. III. Pattison died later on and j. II. w.
decided the property to his mother, Mrs
Pattison. She later made a will be-
queathing it to James HI W., her son.
A. M. Pattison at the time of his death
left sc, 900 or thereabouts in cash. This
James III. w laid hold of.
The suit was brought by the plaintiffs,
heirs of A. NJ Pattison, to recover their
share of the estate, and their allegations
were that the deed from A. NJ. to James
II. W. was fraudulent in that acids had
been used to make erasures and then the
other property inserted. The court in
the opinion handed down says that these
allegations were proven.
Some queer things happened during
the progress of the trial. There was
will in the case which James H. w.
could not fud. One day his attorney
asked the court to give the clerk special
instructions as to the care of the deed
that had been changed. The court re.
fused on the ground that the clerk knew
his duties we'll. That evening the clerk
was in the County Clerks office after
hours, and Pattison came there to ssk
to be allowed to take the deed that night
for his experts to look over. The clerk
refused without an order of court.
"Where is the deed?" asked Patti
son.
cit is up in my desk in the court
room," said the clerk.
Afterwards the clerk went up and took
the deed out Of the desk, brought it to the
Clerks Office and put it in the big safe
Next day another Judge went into the
chambers connecting with the court
room where the case was on trial, and in
the judges chair he found memoran-
dunn book supposed to belong to Patti
son, and in the book was the missing
will. 1t was strange coincidence
coupled with the desire to get the deed.
1t seems to be big fraud knocked out.

THE GLASS CASE.
How a Man was Killed with a
Blow of a Bottle.

HOW MAN wae MItte0
Blow of a Bottle.
The killing of Charlie Glass in a
drunken row at q dance, near the house
of John Hunter, back of the Three Mile
house. on the San Fernando road, is a
story fresh in the minds of most readers
of the HERALD. 1t was in November
last. As one of the trains on the South
ern Pacific road came down the line one
morning the pilot struck a mans body
and pushed it off the track. The en-
gineer had seen the dark object lying on
the rail and had nearly stopped his ma.
chine before the place was reached. The
pilot merely pushed the body off the
track. The hands on the train got off and
found the body stone cold. 1t had been
laid on the track so that the wheels
might run over the head. A bad
wound was found to have been
inflicted on the head of the
dead man, and it was evident that the
purpose of laying the body by the track
was to destroy all evidence of crime.
The plan miscarried. Inquiry devel.
oped the fact that the body was that of
Charlie Glass, young blacksmith of
this city. He and some companions had
gone out to Hunters to a dance and a
house There was good deal
of drinking done, and nearly all the
crowd got drunk. Among the party
were several Msxicans from the Verdugo
From what could be learned, quarrel
sprang up between the drunken people
and fight ensued. In the fight Glass
got killed, and his body was carried to
the railroad track as above noted. Sus-
picion led to the arrest of Felipe Chavez,
big athletic Mexican. who is charged
with the murder of Glass. For weeks
the authorities have been trying to find
John Hunter, who was supposed to know
just how the killing was done. He was
in court yesterday and told what
he saw. In addition to the story of the
fight he said he had come ont of the
house to the yard where the fight was in
progress. Sweeney, one of Glass's COM
panions, was getting severe beating.
Glass was very handy with his fists and
went in to rescue his friend. A Mexican
in the mob gave Hunter bottle half
full of whiskey to hold. 1t is long, mar
row black bottle, very heavy. In trying
to rescue Sweeney Glass and Chavez
met in collision. Chavez found he was no
match for Glass, and turned around and
grabbed the bottle out of Hunters hand
and struck Glass two heavy blows on the
head. Glass fell to the earth, near a
fence, through which he crswled. That
was the last Hunter saw of Glass.
Ramon Rios, Frank Snee, John Snee
and others were examined. They were
not willing witnesses by any means, and
information came from them like pulling
teeth. The prosecution wanted DR.. Mac.
Gowan to show that death resulted from
the wounds on Glass's head, but the
medico could not be found, so the case
went over till this morning. That will
be the States Gaze.

ASTHMA,

IL Is common error to suppose every disease
Wnich Is al ended by oppressed breai hing to be
asthma or Phthlsic We have shortness of breath
IN Consumption and Paeumonis, lust as we do
in Asthma, only that in these diseases it is al
ways present, whereas in Asthma it occurs in
paroxysms.
Asthma is a spasmodic disease of the lungs
which manifests itself in periodic attacks or
fits " 1t comes on suddenly and is attended
with great difficulty of breathing while it lasts,
but when the attack is over the patient breathes
almost as well as in health.
Nervous. Humid and Dry Asthma are names
given to different forms of this disease. Empty
sema is an other and more inveterate kind of
Asthma, while Hay Fever or Rose Cold is pc
culiar variety o Asthma which occurs at
certain season of the year. Each of these forms
of disease differs somew hat from the others in
syn ptoms, but practically these distinctions are
OF very little value. 1t does not matter to the
patient which form of Asthma he has, since his
sufferings are the same in all. In one case the
eXpectOratiOn becomes yellow, end we call it
bronchial. In another it is light and we call it
dry. When he coughs up clear water, with a
white froth on the surface, we say he has
very little expectoration of any kind. Hay
Fever always begins as crying cold in the
head or influenza, and clear water runs from
the nose and the eyes before the Asthma fit
comes on. IN Emphysema the expectoration is
generally thick, aud continues so in the
interval between the fits. while the shortness
OF breath is increased on the slightest exertion.
1t is foolish conceit of many pc )ple to
believe that If they have Asthma they cannot
| get Consumption. The truth is the very op-
posite. They are more liable to fall into Con
sumption because they hava Asthma. Another
idea is that Asthma itself Is not a dangerous
disease, and yet the published bills of mortality
for this city prove to all who read them that
great numbers lose their lives every year by
this foul destroyer of our homes.
Wit: out courage and perseverance nothing is
durable. But with these aided by proper and
sk1llful treatment. Asthma can be cured even
after the lungs are extensively diseased.
PERSONS desiring treatment by this system OF
practice can use the remedies at home as well
as at our Office, and which will cause no incon.
venlence or hindrsnce from business whatever
Every case of Asthma is curable Eastern
visitors and invalids will be wise in being cured
before they return home.
Those WHO desire 10 consult with me In regard
to their cases had better call 81 the office for
an examination, bur If impo sible to visit the
office pertOnaliy can write for ist of questions
snd circular, both of which will be sent free OF
