Competitor of Beruhardt.
NEW YORK, February "A cable was
received by Margaret Mather Yesterday an
nouncing that NJ. Duquesnil, the manager OF
Sara Bernhardt and the owner of Bar
bier's play, Joan dare" had closed
with Miss Mather's offer for the
work. The ambitious American act
ress has purchased the entire pro-
duction as it is made at the Porte St. Mar
tin, Paris, including the scenery. about 300
costumes by Worth, the manuscript score
and properties She has already arranged
with William Young, the author of
"Ganelon" and 'Pendragon," to make
the translation of the play in blank verse
for Its presentation In this country, and She
intends to produce it in this city next fall
In the same magnificent manner that 1t is
now being done in Paris.
The play has been rewritten bv Rarbier
since it was originally published some II
years ago, and Gounod has added to the
music, which is now sung by cborus of
800 voices. Miss Matber's idea is to secpre
the aid of some choral society to interpret
the music in this country. She is to travel
under her own management after this
season, Mr.. Willoughbv, who was with
Lawrence Barrett until he was forced to
close his tour, taking charge of her business
interests.
When Sara Bernhardt met Miss Mather dur
ing her tour in America, she became much
attached to the hard-working young actress,
and proposed to play Romeo to her Juliet.
Bernhard used her influence to secure Joan
dare" for her friend, and, it is believed,
turned the scales in her favor. Mr.. A. NJ.

but Miss Mather has secured the prize
against all competitors. She is reported to
look upon this acquisition as the greatest
piece of good fortune that has befallen her
since she adopted the stage as a profession,
and she will work hard to ut herself to play
the part which has been made famous by

Barnes is wealthy old man. When, in

Mr.. Barnes was induced to buy William
Warnings one-ffth interest for 81, 800.

ward discovered that S5 was nearer the
price They were merely copies of famous
masterpieces.
Mr.. Barnes discovered at the end of

alleges that the books shown him were
cooked up. He is now trying to get back
81, 500 that he has sunk in the business and

ESPECIAL TELKGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHa
TORONTO. February 2.-The Rev. DR..
Wild, a Congregational minister here,
preached tonight on the subject: "Tbe
Danger and Folly of Advocating Annexa-
tion." He said the destiny of all
nations was fixed by God. and it was folly
to suppose Great Britain and the United
States had been overlooked. The United
States was the tribe Of Manas-
sab, ard it was clearly fore
told, years ago, that Manassah
should leave Ephraim and become great
and Independent nation. But the United
States was the only colony Great Britain
had ever lost or ever would lose.
Annexationists, said the preacher, might
as well try to blow the moon out of the sky
as take another colony from Great Britain.
One tribe had to be separated from the
others, and one only. That had been done
in the case of the United States, butt would
never happen again.

SEEKING SETTLERS.
THE WORK DONE BY THE SOUTHERN
PACIFIC AGENCY.
An Interview With the Head of the De-
partment of Colonization-What it is
Hoped to Accomplish in the Work.

The colonization agency OF the South
ern Pacific road is under the manage
ment of A. Marks. In a recent inter
view with the reporter OF San
Francisco paper Mr.. Marks thus de-
scribes the work which is being done:
''The agency" he said, "was started
about six months ago. 1t is intended to
facilitate the rapid settlement of the
State. The company wants to have the
lands occupied by actual settlers.
"The railroad company does not sell its
own lands through this agency, which
is designed to encourage the landowners
to cut up their lands into small parcels
and offer them to actual settlers, instead
of selling them as awhole to speculators.
| went East some time ago to make the
experiment of forming colony, and
have met with great success. An expe
rience of fifteen years in the colonization
of Fresno county has enabled me to pre-
pare a plan for the whole State. The
plan suits the Eastern people very we'll.
| have sent many families from the
richest parts of Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio into Bakersfield. They are so we'll
pleased with their new homes that they
have rendered me the honor of public
banquet in acknowledgment of my efforts
in their behalf. This work is done
by personal intercourse. In a short
time l shall have great many helpers
throughout the United States and Can
ada to aid me in this work. We give
the most accurate and reliable informa-
ton possible to intending settlers, so that
when they reach California they do not
have to expend their means in travelling
and looking about. In consideration of
settling the lands SO rapidly the large
landowners are disposed to give extra
easy terms to these people. Our agent
in England has been very successful. He
has sent over large number of very fine
English families. We chose Kern county
as the initial to send immigrants to, be-
cause we can get more land there on
easier terms than anywhere else. Event
ually will work throughout the entire
State. This experiment has demon
strated one thing, and that is, instead of
its being question where to find people
to settle up California, the question now
is, how much land have we on which a
family with from 81 900 to $4,000 capital
can make living? Every acre of the
land available in Kern county we can
settle up Immediately. 1t was an ex-
pertinent and has proved to be success
full. We discourage people who come
here to engage in the raisin and fruit
business as business. This agency is
for the purpose OF enabling people. to
come here and make living on the
land. They can make the fruit business
an after-consideration. The only thing
we do is to bring people from other
States -

WANTED A TREAT.
Two Men are Placed Under Arrest for
Battery.

At 4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon an
old man named Berry Adway called at
the saloon on the corner of Also and
Arcadia streets to get some change. He
states that as the bartender handed him
the money, four men, who had been
sitting down at one Of the tables in the
room, stepped up to the bar and de-
manded that he treat them. The old
man refused, whereupon the quartette
struck at him and attempted to get the
money, but the bartender prevented
this and called upon Officer Gilbert, who
was near at hand. In the meantime old
Adway had been roughly handled, and
one of the men, w. Smith, cut him on
the left temple with cuspidor. Officer
Gilbert arrested him upon Always
complaint, but the other three men at
tempted to take him away, and did SO
twice. Gilbert, however, persisted in
his efforts to arrest Smith, and finally
succeeded in obtaining assistance, when
Smith and Charles H. Day, the leader
OF the trio, were both taken to the
station.

ONE TO SEVEN.
An Officer Arrests Two Men Under
Difficulties.

Shortly after noon yesterday the at
tention of Officer Vignes was called to q
gang of seven men who were creating a
disturbance on Also street by their
rough horseplay and shouting. Singing
out the leader of the crowd, man
named Sam Hunter, the officer requested
them to keep quiet, and threatened to
arrest them if they persisted in their
noisy conduct. Feeling secure in their
superiority of numbers, the crowd
laughed at the officer and made more
noise than ever. Vignes at once pro-
ceeded to put his threat into execution,
and seized Hunter, whereupon the other
six rushed in and endeavored to take his
prisoner away. After rough and
tumble fight, Vignes succeeded in plac-
ing Sam and E. j. Hunter under arrest,
and took them to the city Jail; but the
other five made off.

SANTA MONICA.
The improvements Going On in the
Famous Beach Resort.

Famous Beach Resort.
The people OF Santa Monica consider
that new era OF prosperity is about to
dawn upon them. The attempt to raise
money as subsidy for any company
that will put in new wharf has been
attended with success. The sum of
$12,500 was subscribed by the citizens,
and similar amount will be given by
Senator Jones, making total of $25, 900.
The proposed wharf will cost $75, 900 or
100000 and will extend out far enough
into the ocean for the accommodation of
large vessels at low tide. A coal and
lumber company, backed by Eastern
and Northern capital, is said to be inter
ested in this undertaking.
During the winter fair business has
been transacted at the hotels and stores
of the town, and the outlook for the
summer season was never better. About
$4,000 has been expended in road and
street improvements and street-car
line to the Soldiers Home has been
put in at cost of about $4,000. The
Los Angeles and Pacific road has begun
work on the repairs and completion of
it's line, which will cost about ~ 900.
The Southern Pacific has put in spur
leading up from it's Santa Monica line to
the Soldiers Home.
1t is expected that Congress will dur
ing its present session make liberal
appropriation for the improvement OF
the grounds about the Soldiers Home.
A number of new residences are likely
to be built during the coming season
and the business of the town is looking
I'D materially.

Many times women call on their family
physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one
from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
another from liver or kidney disease, another
from nervous exhaustion or prOstration,
another with pain here or there, and in this
way they all present, alike to themselves and
their easy-going and Indifferent or overbusy
DOCTOR. separate and distinct diseases, for
which he prescribes his pills and potions, as
suming them to be such, when, in reality, they
are all only symptoms caused by some womb
disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause
of suffering, encourages his "prdctice" until
large bills are made. The suffering patient
gets no better, but probably worse by reason
of the delay, wrong treatment and conse-
quent complications. A proper medicine like
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription directed to
the cause would have entirely removed the
disease, thereby dispelling all those Distress
ing symptoms, and instituting comfort in
stead of prolonged misery.

the best known Spanish residents
of the town were there, and pleasant

Origin of Long Measure.

Our measures of length originated in
the dawn of civilization, and came to us
through the Anglo-Saxons The yard
was originally the length of a kings
arm; the foot, the length of bis pedal
extremities. The word inch is derived
from the Latin uncia, a twelfth part,
but why the foot was divided into
twelfths, instead of tenths or elevenths,
no one claims to be wise enough to tell
1t has been suggested that probably the
inch was originally the length of the
second joint of the foretinger, and that
twelve of these about equal the length of
the forearm, which averages about one
foot in length.
The inch used TO be divided into three
"barleycorns," which were simply the
length of the grain or corn Of the bar
ley. The mile was reckoned at 1000
PAGES, as its name shows, for it is de-
rived from the first word of the Latin
phrase militia passuum, "a thousand
PAGES" The origin of the ''rod" is
doubtful.-St. Louis Republic.
