ing obstacle could not stay its triumph
ant progress. 1t was seen that same
night in the Auditorium, and the per-
formance was witnessed by one OF the
largest audiences that ever assem-
bled to sit out a play. During
it's Chicago run, Shenandoah's
receipts averaged $4,000 week, and
the closing week at the Auditorium
brought $4,000 to the box-office. This
success is a great demonstration of the
popularity of Bronson Howard's great
play. 1t is deserved tribute to the
best American military drama that has
vet been written, and it is demonstra
ton of the fallacy and shallowness of
the complaints urged by managers and
stars that the public will not support
native talent in the line of acting and
authorship. Shenandoah, which has
been before the people now for whole
year, has made the test of this question
in every large city of the Union, and
always with the same uniform result

ton, popular approval.
John +. Warner is back in New York
from London with strong reports of the
great personal success of Nat Goodwin
over in the British metropolis. The
public would not stand A Gold Mine,
but it took to Mr.. Goodwin solidly and
applauded him with great enthusiasm.
Then he did an extremely audacious
thing in announcing the production Of
The Bookmaker, in which he was to
play Cockney of the Cockneys. To
undertake such part in the very home
of the animal itself was something no
very timid man would have done without
some little hesitation. But Nathaniel
went at it without tremor, ,and to every
body's intense amazement he made a
stunning SUCCESSES great, in fact, that he
management, failing to induce him to
cancel his American tour and stay
right in London, have determined to
carry the play along anyhow, after Good
win comes away. 1t is now likely that
he will go back again to London next
season to remain for long run, and it
may be that the present winter will give
America all we shall see of Mr.. Goodwin
in several years. He is now on the
ocean on his way back, and proposes to
open his tour Oct. 9Th. In January he
appears at the Bijou, but meanwhile he
will be seen in other cities. His first
big stand is Chicago, where he will play
The Nominee and Gold Mine. He will
hardly try The Bookmaker again in the
United States.

taxing the County With Their Bills for
transcripts in Criminal Cases.

1t has been known for a long time that
the court shorthand reporters were in
the habit of overcharging in their bills
against the county. Where page was
charged as two and half folios often
times it contained less than two, and on
many occasions only one and half
folios. At the rate of twenty cents per
folio it is easy to see how big the swindle
would become when the transcript con-
tanned from two to four hundred pages.
The attention of the board of supervis-
ors was called to this matter several
months ago by one of the officials whose
business it is to guard the county
against just such barefaced robberies.
The board employed a person to investi-
gate the matter-that is, to count the
folios and see whether their count CO.
incided with that of the stenographer's
bills. This party reported to the
supervisors that there was no doubt
about the matter of the overcharge and
that some of the reporters-not all of
them-had made it steadyIand regular
practice to put in fraudulent bills against
the county. For some reason not ex-
planned, but presumably because the
political pull of the accused was too
strong, the supervisors prudently
dropped the matter in quiet way when
it was fully expected that they would
expose the steal and thus win repu-
tation for honesty which they would
then have deserved. 1t is not quite
sure that the last grand jury had any
information about this matter, but the
present grand jury has the facts inIhand,
and it is to be hoped that they will in
vestigate it strictly and will not allow
those who have for considerable period
beaten the taxpayers of this county out
of moneys not earned by them, to escape
their lust deserts.

"I am a pioneer in this county, having been
here 80 years. Four years ago my little son
Enery became blood poisoned by impure virus in
vaccination. His arm sweled terribly, causing
great agony; physicians said the arm must be
amputated, and even then his recovery would
be doubtful. One day read about a blood purt-
fer, new to me, a1d was surprised to learn that II
was prepared by C. I. Hood, with whom used to
90 to school in Chelsea, vt. decided to have
my boy try Hoods Sarsaparilla, and was much
gratifed when it seemed to help him. He con-
tinued to grew better as we gave him the sarsa-
parilla, and having used bottles is now entirely
cured. As Hoods Sarsaparilla has accomplished
such wonderful results, recommend it all pos.

for 1890 has been received, and it is not
only neatly gotten up, but it is one OF
the best prepared works of that char
acter that has ever been issued. Los
Angeles county should see to it that it
is literally distributed in the east. One
page of the work is devoted to a des-

The man with the cigar evidently had not
had smoke for long time, or else was
afraid he would not get another, for he
never stopped smoking, but coolly puffed
away while he supported his companion
and placed him on the overturned craft,
and reaching under the water drew
life preserver from beneath the boats
seat and buckled it on his friend. He
was still smoking when a boat from the

OWNERS OF VESSELS
Should Give MIR. Vivian the Statistics
He Wants,


Mr.. Thomas j. Viyian, the well known
author and newspaper correspondent,
who has long been connected with the
press of the Pacific coast, arrived in the
city yesterday in company with Mr.. H.
Blote, who occupies high position on
the business Office staff of the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
Mr.. Vivian has been appointed special
agent of the eleventh census to collect
the statistics of water transportation on
this coast, and will visit San Pedro and
Redondo Beach while here, in search of
the needed information. Mr.. Vivian
says that the results of the work will
show a greatly larger tonnage under the
American flag than any one supposes.
He is of the opinion that the fact will
be established that the United States
has twice as much coastwise and inland
tonnage as any other nation in the
world.

BETTER PAY.
Southern Pacific Trainmen Get Increased
Wages,

The claims Of the Southern Pacific
railroad company's employees for in
creased pay have been granted by the
management. The increase varies from
ten to fifteen per cent on the salaries
paid heretofore. For example, conduc-
tors of passenger trains who have been
receiving $11O month will hereafter re-
ceive $125. Crews of freight trains, be-
sides receiving increased pay, will here
after be required to make less mileage
than heretofore. At no time during the
negotiations was there any talk of or
danger of strike.

the state up to this time. The brochure
is made up of forty-eight pages, illus

all finished with remarkable taste. All

A Deaf Cat in High Life.

Snowfall is one of the best known An
goras in the city, and although she is
but 4 years of age she is the mother of
seventeen kittens, every one of which
has been of spotless whiteness. She
weighs twelve pounds and has a tail that
waves in the air like an immense banner.
Her eyes are sky blue and she never
heard a sound in her life. She has been
thoroughly trained and knows many
very amusing tricks, among which is
that Of fetching the ball when thrown
by her mistress. She performs this with
all the fidelity of a we'll trained retriever.
and her ability as a catcher would make
Buck Ewing green with envy. Her
marked peculiarities are her grace and
gentleness and her habit of playing with
shadows.
A moving object has no attractions for
her, but if a shadow is thrown upon the
floor and moved rapidly about Snowfall
will chase it for hours with a grace and
elegance of movement that would eclipse
those Of the finest ladies in the land.
Notwithstanding her f~astidiousness in
other respects Snowballs appetite is
gross, and she prefers ray liver to any
other article of diet.-New York World.

A Point About Moving.

Here's a point that everybody who
moves ought to bear in mind: Get the
carpets to your new house if you have
to carry 'em on your back, and get 'em
put down before the van gets there.
Then the driver and helper will put
your stuff where you want it in the
proper rooms. It's just as easy for the
workmen, and if the floors are ready it
will save a vast amount of bother for
the family. AS a rule people are so I'M
systematic that they pack their carpets
around pictures and centre tables and
the like, so that it's a days job to get at
them, and several days job to get the
carpets down, shifting heavy boxes and
chairs meantime, and finally making a
floor full of wrinkles and quite possibly
of ents.-Interview in New York Sun.

1t is Of the rice fields of the tide lands
or toe Georgia and Carolina coast, and of
.he adjacent islands. that we would
speak To those who have never been
among them these rice plantations would
afford much that is both novel and inter
est1ng. This evergreen region, where
the plaintive notes of the whippoorwill
and song of the sweet throated hooking
bird float up through the moss covered
trees, n negroes, fever and ague, rice
birds and alligators abound, would indeed
seem to be a new world to our northern
brethren, and the picturesque effects
charm the eye of the stranger artist.
The rice field darky is himself a dis
tinct type, totally different in both as
pect and dialect from the negroes of the
interior; and a not u~ninteresting sight is
the force, as with shout and song they
a their way along the embank1nent
to the rice field. Their ancestors for
generations back, or as they would tell
you, mi farrar an mi granfarrar," have
lived and labored in these malarial re-
g1ons, and they accept chill and fever
and other infelicities incident to these
localities as unavoidable evils, plodding
on with no higher aim nor hope, careless
for the future and not over anxious for
the present.
The cost Of living is small, as not
many nor very warm garments are con-
sidered necessary, and the rice field
darky's ideas Of a wardrobe are ex-
tremely limited, from both blissful igno-
rance and choice. Fish and game are
plentiful, and in these regions a heavy
diet is to be INDUCED in only at great
risk.-L. W. Robarts in Popular Science.

Nails in His Brain.

At Eastbourne, England, a tradesmar
named Thomas Wickens was charged
with attempting to commit suicide by
driving four long nails into his head.
DIR. Mcqueen produced four nails which
he had with difficulty withdrawn from
the head of Wickens. These nails had
penetrated three inches and gone through
the brain, but, to the surprise of the
medical staff at the Memorial hospital,
Wickens had fully recovered. Wickens
said he drove the nails into his head in
succession with a hammer, and that he
had felt better in his head since the oc-
currence. He is now san and able TO re-
sumo business, and medically is regarded
as the most wonderful case on record.
The magistrate ordered him to be dis,
charged.-London Tit-Bits.
