A UNIQUE ENTERTAINMENT.
"Songs of the Centuries" at the Simp-
son Tabernacle.

On Tuesday, May 9th, very inter
esting entertainment will be given at the
Simpson tabernacle, in this city, for the
benefit of the church. 1t is called
''Songs of the Centuries" and it is the
intention to give series of the current
songs and ballads from the year 1850 to
1890. The singers will be dressed in the
costumes of the times of each song and the
most careful preparation has been made
to have the representation accurate. The
closing piece, one of the earliest known
of English rhymes, if not the earliest, of
the year 1850, will be rendered by the
phonograph. Few people in this city
should miss this unique entertainment.
Tickets, including reserved seats, are
fifty cents. They may be obtained at
Edwards & Meningitis, ia West First
street, or at Bartlett's music store.
There will be a parlor reserved at the
church for ladies' hats and wraps.

KAIL WAT MAIIENO.
The Movements of the Hunt
ingtOn Party.
The Railroad President Visits
RedOndO.
The Extension From Santa Barbara
Along the Coast.
The People of Santa Barbara Have Good
Reason to Believe the Work Will
Be Resumed Soon.

The party of Southern Pacific officials
left San Diego yesterday morning and
visited San Bernardino, Cotton and
Riverside. They arrived in Los Angeles
at 4:30. The party then divided.
General Superintendent j. A. Fillmore,
accompanied by H. J. Small, superin-
tendent of motive power and machinery,
Ben Welsh, master car-builder, and j..
H. Wallace, assistant superintendent of
track, left for the east to make the regu-
lar tour of inspection. They will go to
Ell Paso and return soon to San Fran
cisco. The rest of the party including
President Huntington and Col. Crocker,
went down to Redondo, where they
passed the night. Early this morning
they will return to this city, and Mr..
Huntington will leave for the east in a
special car over the Santa Fe. Col.
Crocker will leave for the north some
time during the day.
A special car containing j. B. Haggin
and party will arrive in the city this
afternoon on the Southern Pacific, and
60 out to San Gabriel. He is looking
after some horses.
The people of Santa Barbara are very
confident that work will begin on the
unfinished line between Elwood and
pal reason for thinking so appears to be
Mr.. Hawley is one of the largest owners
is a former member of the we'll
rIx nf los,
Bros, of San Francisco. Just after
the Southern Pacific connection with
Santa Barbara was established, Mr.
Hawley made large purchases OF land
and buildings in and about the town,
the Arlington hotel and the Hope ranch
being among them. In the year that
followed Mr.. Hawley was one of the
most active spirits in the short era OF
development which Santa Barbara en-
joyed. When work ceased on the line
and it became evident that the South
ern Pacific had decided to hold off for a
time, Mr.. Hawley, like other prudent
investors, drew in little and ceased the
active work of development. Thus it
continued for a year. Immediately after
the election of G. P. Huntington to
the presidency of the line, Mr..
Hawley went up to San Francisco and
had conference with him and with
other authorities of the road. 1t hap
pens that he is on terms of considerable
intimacy with Mr.. Huntington, their
acquaintance extending over period of
a number of years. The result of the
conference was that Mr.. Hawley re-
turned to Santa Barbara and began again
at the work of improving his property.
He announced to few friends that he
had learned that the work on the con-
nection would be resumed very soon.
Mr.. Huntington, when interviewed on
the subject of the resuming of the work,
said that it would be taken up as soon
business proposition. The Santa Bar
bara people are inclined to the belief
that the work will begin very soon.

ADJUSTMENTS.
The Shenandoah.

The Grand last night was crowded by
the largest and most distinguished au-
dience which we have seen there in
years, to witness the opening perform
ance of Bronson Howard's highly sue
cessful and notable play of
Shenandoah. Considering the phe-
nomenal run of this drama in
New York, and it's quite equivalent
success here we desire to review it with
some care, and withhold our judgment
in this issue. 1t will hold the boards
for the rest of the week, including a
matinee. That its substantial merit is
equal to its reputation was shown by
the tumultuous acclaim which it ex-
torted from all quarters of the house last
night.
Photographic Show.
The phonograph, under the manage
ment of Mr.. Nestor, did itself credit last
night in Illinois hail. 1t sang, laughed,
whistled, coughed and repeated instru-
mental music with a fidelity astound-
ing even to those understanding the the
ory of it's construction.
After few Introductory remarks by
Mr.. Nestor which were repeated by
the instrument, Mr.. Wilson played a
cornet solo, then sat back and had a
chance to hear one of his own perform
ances, diminished in volume but exact
in execution. Mrs. Wiseman sang and
the phonograph reproduced the song
Mr.. Hoyt told one of his jokes, and the
phonograph repeated it without blush
then came some music by San Fran
cisco orchestra; brass band had ex-
ecuted "Annie Rooney" in the days
when it was not chestnut, and the
ghost of the performance was trotted
out for the delectation of the audience.
1t was possible to distinguish the various
instruments performing, and the cheers
of the audience who had listened to it
50 long ago in San Francisco were plainly
audible. A cornet solo, by Jules Levy,
performed months ago in New York,
was performed by the phonograph, hav-
ing already been repeated twenty
thousand times.
Paul Kauvar.
Next week Joseph Haworth, as ''Paul
Kauvar," will be at the Grand. Mr.
Haworth's success in San Francisco and
the cities east has been something phe-
nomenal. For two weeks he packed the
Bush-street theater to the doors, with
the remarkable spectacle by Steele
Mackaye, called Paul Kduydr. This
play was originally produced at the
Standard theater in New York, where it
had a run of over $50 nights. Since
then it has been on the road for two sea-
sons, and everywhere it has met with
great success.
Herrmann's Vaudeville.
Prof. HERMANN famous Trans-Atlan-
tique Vaudeville Company will appear at
the Los Angeles theater for four nights
and special decoration day matinee, COM
mencing next Tuesday evening. This
company comes here direct from the
Baldwin theater, San Francisco, and
with reputation of having made tre-
mendous hit throughout the country.

IN THE MUD.
Two Unwieldy "Safeties'' on Pearl
Street

The lady bicyclist is becoming quite a
common sight in Los Angeles after
night, when the features cannot be
readily distinguished. 1t is then that
the fair maidens, bent on developing
their muscles by invigorating exercise,
mount their "safeties" and spin over the
paved and unpaved thoroughfares, re-
gardless of who is looking on. They care
not for 'headers," for they know that
even their best friends are not likely to
witness their discontinue and twit them
about it afterward. just about this time,
however, a few of them have become
so expert on their machines that they
attempt tours by daylight; but as q
general rule it has been found that how
ever well they may ride by night, they
grow timid in the plain sight of man
and can hardly manage their machines.
An instance OF this kind was brought to
light yesterday morning. A young lady
residing in the southern part of the city
started out with young gentleman for
spin towards the western part of the
city. The gentleman was no greater
expert than the young lady, and the
oihio Hi"uO Wao hou NCiy Idpiu. AL WOAp
well, however, until they came to place
on Pearl street near Twelfth, where the
water pipe had broken and the water
had made the street muddy. Here two
holes in the street were being dug by
workmen, and the young lady advanc-
ing first thought she would show her
skill to the workmen by guiding the ma
chine between the holes. Just as she
increased her speed, somehow her steer
ing ability gave out, and to her horror
she found herself going right into one of
the holes. The brake wouldn't work,
and on she went until her wheel fell in
and she was sent sprawling into the
mud, her dainty ankles show
ing for an instant as she
alighted on her hands and knees.

A Jealous Husbands Crime.

PHILADELPHIA, May 2O.-Ludwig Mar
quardt, an artist, this evening attempted
to murder his wife Fredericca, by shoot
ing her several times, and died shortly
after, evidently from the effects OF poison
he had taken. Mrs. Marquardt is en-
ployed in the fur department at Wana-
makers, store, and has separated from
her husband several times on account OF
his insane jealousy. This evening, on
going home, he was waiting in room,
and opened fire as soon as she entered,
wounding her in the face and arm. The
physicians think she will recover.

SKIPPED WITH THE FUNDS.
Prominent Irish Anne rican Uncert
mOniOusIY Decamns


New YORK, May 20.-The disappear
ance and rumored defalcation of Patrick
Hines, of Brooklyn, is now fully CON
firmed, and has caused a SEN
sation in Irish American circles.
Hines was high in the Ancient
Order of Hibernians, having been
president and treasurer of the division,
state delegate and national treasurer for
four years. Two weeks ago Hines dis
appeared. His shortage is variously
reported at from 81 800 to $4,000. 1t is
feared the accounts of Division nine
are not straight, and the committee is
examining them. 1t is understood that
the matter of his disappearance was up
before the recent Hartford meeting OF
Hibernians, and caused big row. His
friends are trying to smooth things over.
1t is reported that Hines has gone to
Australia.

SHIPPING CATTLE.
Big Lots Going to Alaska and tt
Oregon.

During the past week as many as 800
head of beef steers have been shipped
to Oregon from the Chino ranch. The
last winter was very severe on the east
ern Oregon ranges, and great numbers
OF stock perished. These shipments are
for the purpose of supplying the mar
kets of Portland. This is novel move
ment in this section. But still more so
is the shipment of eighteen cars of beef
steers from the Laguna ranch to Alaska.
One might well suppose that eighteen
cars of beef cattle would feed all Alaska
for year.

How Original Package Dealers at To-

Topeka, May 20.-Dealers in "original
packages" are becoming more bold. To
day some of them hired carriages in
which they drove about the city, with
the front seats piled high with original
packages of liquor and beer. They halted
at the entrance to the state house
grounds, and offered their goods for sale
to state officials, until Secretary of State
Allen telephoned the police to remove
them.

an average one. Hundreds of heads of
cattle are being shipped from the Santa

LAND DECISIONS.
Two California Eases Disposed of by Sec
retary Noble.


WASHINGTON, October 29th.-In the case of
Robert p. Strathearn vs. George W. stockton,
involving land in the Los Angeles, Cal, Dis
trlct. the Secretary of the Interior confirms the
Commissioners decision in dsmissiug Strath-
earns protest against the acceptance Of Stock
tons final commutatlon proof from the South
ern Paclhc Railroad ompany. Having failed
to appeal from that part OF the decision dsmis-
ing its protest, its claim was not considered
The secretary also affirmed the dec sion of
the Commissioners in the case of the State of
California ex rel T. NJ. Loop VS. the United
states. The question involved was about the
evidence as to the swampy character of land
in San Bernardino District. 1t came before the
Secretary on appeal by Loop from the Commits
sioners decision IN which the land was held as
public swamp and overflow within the meaning
of the Att OF Congress of September IS 1919.
The United States Surveyor. General held it TO
be swamp and overflow land, after hearing
which he held at SAN Diego. September 10 1SSs.
W. :. Weed, the claimant for the contract under
the homestead laws, appealed, and the Com
missioner of the General Laud Office reversed
the Surveyor-GenersPsru ings whereupon Loop
appealed 10 the Secretary of the Interior.
But forty acres are involved in the Ques ion,
and these for acres are embraced within the
claim OF Weed, who entered 100 acres, as before
stated, under the Homestead laws. IL is stu
ated in Cofdros valley, in ear prox Unity to the
ocean. The land is slka'i and unproductive
being valuable only for springs located upon it.
The Soledad creek hoNs through the tract
sometimes overlowing it. ss well as the entire
valley. race-track ard publia highway, as
well as railroad, are built upon IL The Secre-
tary says that in the survey of 1874 the dis
puted ground was reported as being agricult
ural in character, ana he says that, while sub
ject to overflow, the same i. not sufficient to
render the land unproduotive or cestroy its
agricultural character. He therefore affirmed
the decision OF the Commissioner.
