ADJUSTMENTS.
The Bostonian's Sing Balfe's "Bo-
hemian Girl at the Grand.


hemian Girl at the Grand.
Last night the Bostonians sang The
Bohemian Girl at the Grand before an
immensely large and very brilliant
audience. Before the curtain rose an
announcement was made that Mr.. Hoff
was hors du combat because of severe
cold, and that "Thaddeus" would there
fore be sung by Mr.. Karl. The an
nouncement went on to inform the peo-
pie that this gentleman was in nearly as
bad voice as the one whose place he
took. Indeed the company seem all
more or less afflicted with mild attack
of la grippe, as they are nearly all
hoarse. Cowles sang "Devilshoof" with
no Feather" in his voice. Miss Juliette
Corden sang "Arline" in charm
ing style. Miss Davis appeared
as the "Queen of the Gypsies'
somewhat to the detriment Of her
beauty as the war-paint concealed her
fine complexion OF course. She had but
little.to sing, another matter of regret.
In spite of all the contretemps of one sort
or other, the opera was pleasantly pro-
duced, the lovely lyrics as "Marble
Halls" " you'll Remember Me-" s'Fair
Land of Poland" and the Sonorous
choruses, all so familiar, redeeming
whatever was lacking from the COM
pany's condition.
Tonight Ambrose Thomaes Mignon
will be sung, with Karl as .Wilhelm
Meister," Miss Corden as "Mignon,"
and Miss Stone as ''Filina."
Tuesday evening, May 9th, 8 o'clock,
Rose Hartwick Thorpe, author of ''Cur-
few Shall Not Ring Tonight" and her
husband, Edwin Thorpe, the noted hui
morist, have been engaged by the La
dies Annex to the Chamber of Commerce
to give one of their popular readings.
They will be assisted by the best Los
Angeles musical talent.

TWICE STABBED LADY BUG.
She is Reported to be Multiplying
Rapidly.

Rapidly.
The Board of Supervisors are earnest
in their determination to uphold the
bug commissioners in their efforts to
force recalcitrant orchardists to spray
their trees. Some of the orange growers
say they will be recalcitrant and no mis-
take. They claim that there is much
doubt as to the efficacy of any of the
sprays in killing bugs, but that there is
no question about many of them killing
the trees.
Hearing sounds of news in the future,
HERALD reporter has been inquiring
about the matter, and finds growing
belief that there are parasites at work
on the bugs. Not to multiply instances
and examples, here is one interview. 1t
took place between the reporter and J.
A. Groves, Esq, of San Gabriel. He
said in substance:
| know the twice-stabbed lady bug is
doing good work in my orchard. I will
not speak OF any thing but what 1 know.
have nothing to say in regard to other
parasites, lace-winged flies or others !;
but know the lady bug
is at work in my orchard, and has been
at work all spring, in numbers vastly
greater than | ever saw before. There
are armies of them and they are indus
trious. My orchard, which was terribly
infested with red scale, is now almost
free from this pest. 1t is just as it was
in the orchard at Sierra Madre
Villa. Everything was covered with
red scale for time; then it be-
gan to decrease, at first slowly,
then more rapidly, and this spring very
rapidly. The Villa orchard has been
free from scale for some time past, and
her young trees are nearly free from it.
/ know it is the lady bug that is doing
the work, for can see it devouring the
scale in myriads.

EDITORS HERALD-The valley has been
almost deserted the present week by the
men, who are nearly all working on the
new road through the Verdugo caf1on.
There is much work to be done on the
road, and as it is nearly or quite all
volunteered by the residents of Crescenta
and La Canyada, it will probably take
some time to complete it; but the men
are working nobly and making good pro-
gress. When it is done it will be great
improvement to the place, being east of
the great 'wash" and entirely out of its
path. People coming from Los Angeles
and Glendale will then have more di-
rect and less rough road to travel in
reaching our retreat in the mountains.
One of the greatest drawbacks has been
the rough road approaching this place,
but now that the Glendale trains are
running to Verdugo Park, the distance
is not great from there (three or four
miles,, and with the new road completed
we hope to provide an easier way for our
friends to reach US, and not have them
arrive with exhausted patience and a
depleted vocabulary.
The Ladies Social Club held a meeting
on Tuesday, at the residence of Mrs
Holly, and enjoyed an afternoon of
Shakespearean reading.
The improvement Society-formed of
elderly ladies-have had the windows
repaired and have added window-shades
to the building used as a church; the
next step will be new front steps, and a
mating ON the floor, to make it easier
to walk in the way of the righteous.
Mrs. Haskell, a sister of DIR. Briggs,
arrived last week from the northern
part of the State, and is staying with
her brother, the doctor. Another sis
ter, Mrs. Crane, departed the first of
this week.
Mr.. Al. Fallen, of Los Angeles, is
staying with his cousin, Mr.. Wilson, the
grocer, for the present.
Miss Della Carter, OF Chicago, left
Crescenta on Monday last, having been
here since last January.
M. E. Demmler has been building a
new house; he disposed of the one he
formerly occupied, with the three lots
adjoining it.
Mr.. S. I. Holly recently sold five hun
dred young orange trees from his nursery
stock to La Canyada party. In this
connection 1 would like to correct an
error in former letter of mine in re-
porting the fig trees sent out from the
same nursery as White Smyrna, when
they were in fact White Adriatic. Mr..
Holly makes specially OF the White
Adriatic, which is considered in this To-
cality the best fig to raise.
The report has gained circulation that
| the plumbago mine in our valley has
recently been sold to an English syndi-
cate, for one hundred thousand dollars.
That they sent an expert over here to
examine it, who reported it even better
than represented(a rare occurrence in
his experience) and the negotiations
were then completed. If this is true, il
means a railroad to the mine and imme-
diate improvement of the same. The
gold found in the same locality indicates
| that our mountains are good for some

THE SCHOOL BOOK PROBLEM.

This will be one of the issues, and
not the least important, before the
new legislature soon to assemble.
Shall the state put up a big printing
Office and publish her own school
books, or shall she adopt the contract
system, or district adoption" that is,
let the school districts select and buy
their own books, is the question.
If state publication should be re-
resolved upon, the thing to be ascer-
tanned is, can the state, right here at
home, print an arithmetic or a
geography and other text books as
cheaply as it can be done in New York
or Philadelphia or elsewhere by private
capitalY And in getting information
on this point, all sources of inquiry
should be exhausted. 1t will
not do merely to consult the
school book publishing houses of the
North and West recently combined
into trust and whose in terest is to
prevent state publication, which might
knock them out of the vast profits
they are clearing off the business.
The school book question demands
some sort of solution, and whether
state uniformity, or district adoption,
or state publication and furnishing
the books Tree out of the school fund,
or at cost, are matters of immense
importance to the educational and
general interests of the people of Tex
as and their children. We are not for
state publication, and before the ques-
ton is decided our Legislators ought to
institute thorough examination OF
all the facts.

CONSPICUOUS REPUBLICANS RETIRED.


There is nothing more significant
in the overwhelming Republican de-
feat than the character of the men
who have been turned out of con-
gress by the people. There is McKin-
ley, chairman OF the ways and means
committee, which drafted the new
tariff bill, Gear of Iowa and LaFOllette
of Wisconsin, active members OF the
same committee; Cannon, of Illinois,
chairman of the appropriations; Car
ter, of Montana, who secured the in
sertion of the lead ore clause in the
Mckinley bill; Morrill,, of Kansas
chairman of the committee on invalid
pensions; Dunnsll, of Minnesota,
chairman Of the official committee on
census, Rowell, of Illinois, chairman OF
the committee on elections who took so
prominent a part in the expulsion OF
democratic members elected by the
people. In their anger the people did
not content themselves with general
rebuke, but selected special victims for
venting their rage, making their dis
approval OF Republican methods more
emphatic and definite.
In the case of poor old Cannon OF
Illinois, however, it is probable it was
not so much his position on public
measures, bad as it was, but his in
tolerance and his nasty blackguard-
ism on the floor of the house that
came in for popular condemnation.
In kicking out the leaders of imperial
ism, the apostles OF the policy OF force,
the advocates of the high ta7if rob-
berry, taxing the many for the benefit
of the few, the people have expressed
their hatred of the measures they
championed and their condemnation
and reputation of party, many
members Of which cannot realize that
the war and the necessity for war tax
alton are over.

by that organization are small MI
nority compared with the great ma
iority the Democrats will have any

Democrats were mainly IN the
north, the Democrats from that
section will be as numerous as those
from the South, an unprecedented
state of affairs. By the returns the
Southern states send ZIG Democrats

How long, o Lord how long must
we wade in mud while crossing our
streets? Think of it. A city that
voted to spend million and hall
dollars at one pop has not the clean

principal business streets. Every
pedestrian detiled with mud as he

THIS is quite an oppertune time to

duer, when heavy rains have fallen,
other than rock and a lot of it. We
must macadamize every road in

A Fortunate Lay-Of.

When the southbound train came
in last Sunday night, STATESMAN re-
porter who happened to be at the de-
por noticed that the engine, No. AZ,
was in mourning. On inquiring of
the engineer, Mr.. B. Van Hoesen it
was learned that the drapings had
been placed thereon out of respect to
the memory of Engineer B. F. Haley
who lost his life last week when No.
60 plunged through the bridge over
the Guadalupe river.
Mr.. Van Hoesen further stated that
No. 60 was his regular engine and
that he had been on her for nearly
three years. On the night of the ac-
cident he had bt en- prevailed upon by
Haley, who was an extra man, to let
him make the trip. The fireman on
the train who lost his leg ia the acct
dent, begged Van Hoesen not 10 Law
OFT and 1t was only alter earnest solicit
lation by Haley that he consented to
40 so, thus taking step that un-
doubtedly saved his life.
Mr.. Van HOesen seemed to be verv
much affected when talking of the
matter and said that the employees of
the road had already raised nearly

Bad On Business

merchants had but little to do. Very
little cotton was brought in and the
market was dull.
