cGuatinG de TrGvjGtG, entusiasmada on Ia ro-
nsa,aga de Aid0 y desbordada de admiration
en- esa joya de la musica moderna el Ace Ma
rEa de Othell0. En- labios de Amalia Paoli fu6
una maravilla la figrana trabajada, inspiradf
simamente por Verdi. No la cant6, la recit6
abmirab blemente dentro de la t0aa0lid0d, con
una grandeza de ejecuci0n verdaderamente
pasmosa. Ell p1blco hal6se frente trente de

con uno de esos aplausos sober5ios Y rugen-
y
c6ndoe inolvidable ell triunfo. Tuvo que re-
petirla, accedendo piadosamente, a la insis-
tencia irresistible del clanlor popular. La se-
gunda audici0n del AUe 1N0r5G redobl6 ell en-
tusiasmo que parecia antes llegado al ultimo

La senorta Paoli es una de las mas pres

Conscience in the Sleeping Man.

Dreams have been regarded as an in
teresting subject of study ever since
scientific thought was born. Locke, the
essayist on the human understanding,
was of the opinion that man did not
think at all when really asleep, while
modern investigators in this line of
research believe that thought no more
ceases during sleep than watch prop
erly wound runs down in the night.
According to their notion, under such
conditions the mechanical functions of
the mind are active, though uncontrolled
by the judgment, and thus it happens
that ones dreams are apt to be unreason-
able and even absurd
Could anything be more interesting
than to trace the progress of a dream, if
it were only possible? Think of the va
riety of experiences through which one
would be conveyed, untrammeled by
the limitations of common sense which
restrict ones waking thoughts, and freed
from the moral responsibilities that en-
cumber the doings of ordinary life.
Probability sets no bounds to the dream
er's vision, and even conscience is dor
mant, since the most righteous of men do,
on occasions, misbehave themselves most
shockingly in the strange Land Of Nod.

REDONDO.

On Saturday evening of this week will
take place one of the most brilliant
events ever given ON this coast. The
idea and arrangement of the affair was
originated by Colonel f. W. Root, with
some valuable suggestions and assist
ance from Mr.. Henry Kramer, who
bears fine reputation as master of
ceremonies. The occasion will be a
grand full dress ball, to be given in the
splendid tennis court. A special order
has been made for huge canvas, which
will cover the asphalt floor, and thereby
make dancing easy, as well as prevent
ing the soiling of the ladies' dresses.
ing. and added to her light electric arc
lights will be arranged especially for the
purpose, and hundreds of Japanese Ian
terms will aid in beautifying the scene.
Potted plants and palms will adorn
every nook and corner, while
here and there bowers OF flowers
with cosy tete-a-tete seats will appear,
suggesting rest after the dizzy whirl.
Gay buntings will adorn every available
place and dainty refreshments will be
served. Colonel Root has it in his mind
to make the affair a great success, and
whatever the colonel attempts never
fails in the least iota. The idea is en-
tirely new and novel and nothing of the
kind has ever been given in the west.
An elegant four-in-hand will convey
guests to and from the hotel, and by
this the arrangement will be made COM
plete.
Among the latest arrivals at the Re-
dondo hotel are: Mrs. Wheelwr;ght,
Mrs. Merrill, New York city; A. Mer-
win, William Merwin, Pasadena; Mr..

up the rocks he was enabled to reach the

rewarded by finding the nest, splendid

The Neglect Of the Groom.

A person about to be married has sent
in a complaint for public consideration
against the constant neglect which the
bridegroom receives from the press, from
the friends Of the contracting parties
and often from their immediate families.
All interest centers in the bride, whose
dress is described in voluminous detail,
whose bouquet is not considered beneath
mention, and whose face, blushing be-
meath her veil, is the most pleasing at
traction of the wedding.
The bridesmaids, lovely girls, futter-
ing in dainty colors, are worth more
than a passing notice. The ushers, the
guests, and even the organist, are spoken
of in an appreciative manner. Some
times there is consideration shown to the
sexton Of the church. But where is the
groom? There are columns of descrip-
tions of weddings in the daily press, and
in these columns the personality of the
groom is passed over without glimmer
of apology.
How does the groom dress? What is
his choice of flower? Do his gloves fit?
Are his shoes of patent leather? Nobody
knows these interesting details, although
they are undoubtedly important to the
neglected man. His presence is supposed
from occasional mention of the ''young
couple" and he probably may be seen
skulking around the corner of the pull
pit; but he is evidently in a hurry for
the completion of the matter. 1t is not
his occasion. Unfortunate man, he is the
chief and notable instance of 'Hamlet
left out of Hamlet. Boston Journal.

water that Lost a Customer.


It is fun to watch the pineapple man.
He is a generous fellow, and the slabs
of pine that he cuts off and retails for
nickel are thick and sweet. and his trade
is large.
Unto him clerks, newsboys and mil
lionaires come the ivelong day to re
fresh themselves with fruit. He peels
and cuts and cuts and peels, and still the
demand continues.
A Wall street banker stops and buys
piece; an editor refreshes his inner man
with slab of pine; street gamin whee-
dies nickel slice out of the old man for
penny. An old. decrepit woman. with
a cheek as hard as that of the statue of
Liberty, comes up and asks him for a
slice. The pineapple man looks at her a
minute. subtracts thin slice from the
heap and gives it to the beggar, and she
goes on her way rejoicing.
At last the curbsuone merchant gets
out his dinner pail and eats hearty
meal. 1t never occurs to him to flavor
it with some Of his luscious stock in
trade, and he goes describes.
When he is through he takes out a
very small tin pail of water and sprin-
kles some of it upon the fruit to keep it
from getting dry. Then he carefully
washes his hands in the pail, and then,
oh, heavens! he carefully covers up the
pail, as if water were precious under the
shadow Of the postofice and with the
free drinking fountain not thirty feet
awayl
Thank you, not today! was going to
treat myself to pines, but something has
suddenly stolen my appetite away

La IT To or Too?

The violation of the particle ''to" is a
sin of continual growth, and not merely
by that insertion of an adverb between
it and the body Of the verb censured by
Taylor, but by total dislocation, as in
such cases as ''try to, "mean to, "going
to- and "obliged to-" DR.. Watts has
been taxed with its preparation in q
well known line which occurs in his
didactic rhyme for children. "Let dogs
delight to bark and bite;" the probable
truth being that he wrote not "For tits
their nature to, >" but, "For it's their ma
nature I'D est, the nature of bears and
tigers to growl and fght,) too" A mis-
print here is vastly more conceivable
than an ungramnatical trip on the part
