NOT FOUND DEAD.
But Passed Away Surrounded by Her
Children.

EDITORS HERALD: Dofla Ramona Sc
pulveda Machado, who died at her home
at La Ballona the other day, surrounded
by her numerous children and grand
children, and who was buried Yesterday,
was in many respects a notable woman,
both by reason of her own personally
tiles, as well as by her connection with
some of the first families of early Los
Angeles.
The writer of this memorial note made
her acquaintance some thirty odd years
ago. She was the wife of Don Agostin
Machado, a prominent citizen of the
olden time, who died many years ago.
Their town home was the ancient adobe
house, long landmark on the corner
OF Winston and Main streets, where the
government building now stands.
Dofla Ramona was a sister OF Don Jose
Sepulveda, whose descendants today are
numerous and prominent; they include
Judge Sepulveda, now in the City of
Mexico, for many years district judge
OF this county, and his brother Andron-
ica Mrs. T. d. Mott, Mrs. Captain Ha-
ley and Mrs. James Thompson (the lat
ter of whom is the heroine OF late ro-
mantle story by Mrs. Adds Storke, in
the Argonaut).
A sister of Mrs. Machado, Doha Con-
ception Sepulveda, married De la
Guerra, one of the grandees OF Santa
Barbara, where she still resides. Mrs.
Juan Bernard, of this city, widow OF the
owner of the Natick house block, is
one of Mrs. Machado's daugh-
ters. rDona Ramona was widely known
by the old settlers, and she was uni
versally respected and beloved for her
amiable and sterling qualities. The
writer remembers wildly with what
cordiality and friendliness and ap-
parently genuine pleasure, certain fami-
lies used to welcome the not very fire.
quent visits OF "Dofa Ramona" thirty
and thirty-fve years ago. Her vivacious,
earnest and yet always kindly gracious
ways, made everybody like her
I She left large family of five sons and
four daughters, all of mature age, be-
sides grandchildren, all of whom VEN
Grated her.
Instead OF being found dead in her
bed, as enormously announced by the
| press, every one of her nine children
was present at her DEATH and most of
them watched with her night and day
during her last sickness, as is the native
California custom; and she had all the
| loving care they could bestow. And SO
one link after another is broken that
binds the Los Angeles OF today with the
Los Angeles of the past. Peace and
benedictions to the memory of a good
woman! II. ID. B.

MIR. Emerick's Concert.

Last Wednesday night a great com
plimentary benefit was rendered at Turr
Verein hall to Mr.. J. B. limerick, the
well-known singer. The concert was an
unqualified success in every respect, anC
we only regret that Mr.. Emerick's
health did not permit him to take a
more active part in it. His voice and
method leave nothing to be desired land
we trust that we shall have many an
opportunity to chronicle his well-de-
served triumphs.
Mr.. Charles Walton, leader of the
Ellis club, an organization OF which Los
Angeles is Justly proud, opened the con-
cert with a chorus of fifty voices, rem
dering Heller's soul-stirring Artillerists'
Oath, and again closing the concert with
that sweetest of songs, Abt's Good
Night. Nothing could surpass the
blending, shading, expression and finish
with which the Ellis club rendered these
two numbers. A pity there were not
more.
Miss Grace A. Miltimore sang Robert
Schuman's opus AZ, called Frauenliebe
und Leben, comprising series OF short
songs, in which the great tone poet IL
lustrates woman's life and love.
The other vocal numbers were like a
glimpse of sunshine-a music OF smiles,
and not of tears, and being interpreted
by such artists as Mrs. j. S. Owens, Mr..
Modini-W Wood and Mrs. J. 2. Dupuy, all
of whom have crowned themselves with
glory, were received with genuine ap-
plause by the audience.
But the great event OF the evening
was the piano playing OF Mrs. T. Masac.
This lady has only recently come before
the public, although her reputation as d
great artist has been established years
ago in the east, the island of Cuba, Mex
leo and Europe. Ole Bull called her the
Clara Schuman of America, and he was
right, for there is no greater exponent
of classic music among the native pian-
lists than Mrs. T. Masac. Her Chopin
polonaise in f fiat was revelation
OF mastery execution, breadth and
power OF touch and the most
delicate phrasing. Her encore was the
we'll known Couriers by Ritter, which
carried the house by storm. But the
most interesting number on the pro-
gramme was Hummels sonata in f flat
major, played by Mrs. Masac in a most
consummate style, and with a tremend-
GUS force, the left hand passages which
defy nearly every pianist coming out
like strings of pearls. This is the first
time that Hummel's great composition
has ever been attempted in public in
this state. Mrs. Masac is certai-lly
a public educator as we'll as great
artist. Nothing could surpass her COM
posure, and mastery of the instrument,
together with her inspired reading of the
great composers.
Mr.. Bierlich acquitted himself al.
mirably with his violincello solo, and
so did the Misses Perry and Lamson
who accompanied the singers on the
piano.
Altogether the concert was a capita
success.

One of the notable and pleasant events
of the week was the social given by the
Los Angeles school of art and design at
their studios, corner Of Spring and Third

friends of the school and lovers OF art
soon filled the rooms, and after viewing
the work of the students and principal,
Mrs. L. +. Garden-Macleod,t the follow
ing programme was given introduce
tory remarks and opening address was
given by the Rev. S. j. Fleming, who
gave brief history of the school and the
thorough manner in which the students
were taught. Miss 7. Williams gave two
recitations in her usual pleasing man
ner. A very interesting talk on A Ram
BILE Among the European Art Galleries
was given by DR.. S. H. Weller. Mr..
Macleod made a few amusing remarks,
followed by pianoforte solo by Mrs.
Rochester, after which tea was served.
The guests departed at late hour much
pleased with their evenings enjoyment.

The Money Market.

Bradstreet's for the week ending
February 20, says:
at cannot be said that the decrease

that for some weeks similar condi.
tions will be seen, or the expectation
Of 100000 more gold to Europe, had
any tangible effect on the New York
loan market. Call loans took little
higher range, the daily quotations for
bankers balances being 2@34 per
cent, though the bulk of the business
in Wall street was done ut n per
cent. The dullness of speculation
decreases the demand for time money,
which, however, is not offered at un.
der 4 ] per cent, with some transact
tons on exceptional collateral at 4
per cent. Commercial paper is dull
and in limited supply at 5@54 per
cent. for best names.

How She Manages TO Earn Good
Wages.
A lady tells this story Of the queer
ways in which money is made by
women in New York:
A gentle and warm>hearted old
lady was making some PURCHASES in
one of the big dry goods emporiums
on Twenty-third street, and was at
tracted by the graces of manner and
physique displayed by the young
woman who waited on her. She
questioned her about her life habits,
and the girl, recognizing the honesty
Of the old creatures Interest, smiling
ly replied to her queries.
"How much do you make in this

A Remarkable Instance OF a Fathers
Devotion aud Sacrifice.

Last summer a young son OF MIR.
Musser, of Bellefonte, says the
Waterman, OF that place, built FIRE
short distance from his home for the
purpose of roasting some potatoes.
His mother seeing the fire, sent her
daughter Mary 10 years of age, to
bring her brother home. The boy
resisted, and in her attempt to force
him away the girls dress caught fire
in the back, and before hel p arrived
she was seriously burned. An exam
nation was made OF her injuries, and
it was discovered that the skin and
flesh on her back, hips and porto rs
of her limbs were roasted to a crisp,
which a(terward festered and dropped
off. After trying other remedies With
out success, DR.. Daft resorted to
skin grating, and about three months
ago he performed the first operation.
The gratis were taken from the arm
of the father of tie child, who is a
stout, healthy man. Nipping off
particles Of flesh the size Of pea, he
would force them down into the raw
flesh Of tie child's back. Of the first
ten patches he transpanted, nearly
every one produced a new and healthy
skin. During the past two months
i four operations have been performed,
and they have been attended with
most Aattering results. Although
some fifty pieces of flesh have been
removed from Mr.. Musser's arms, he
has worked regularly all the time at
his business. The patient, during
recent weeks, has occupied herself
with doing fancy sewing, but very
lately she has been obliged to give
that up, owing to her nervous aifec-
ton. Her physician is confident that
she will experience complete re-
covery.

the world was enriched with the only

remedy which is truly pleasing and re-
freshing to the taste and prompt and
efectual to cleanse the system gently in
the Spring time or, in fact, at any time
and the better it is known the more pop
u1ar it becomes.

Why Russia Perspcutes the Jews


P. G. Hubert. Jr,, in the March Forum.l
The principal grounds upon which
the Russian nstities the persecution OF
his Hebrew brother are as follows
He asserts: l, that the Jews are too
rapacious, and too successful in get
ting money and property away from
the surrounding Christians; 2, that
they hold themselves, as a class. apar,
from the rest Of the community; 3,
that they furnish many Of the leading
nihilists and mischief makers; 4, that
they evade service in the army aud
do not become patriotic Russians.
The first accusation may be
ignored, as it amounts simply
to saying that the Jew is
shrewder and more intelligent than
his nelghbors Of other races. As to
the Jews refusal to mingle more
freely with his elghbors of different
creeds, or, in other words, to assmi-
late with the population, it cannot be
said that he has as yet received any
very warm invitation to do anything
of the kind. He has been chased
like beas, of prey for centuries, and
now lie is asked why he does not like
his prosecutors. The charge Of III
hillsm is perhaps true, to the exten,
that the Jews naturally furnish thei,
proportlonate quota to the malcon,
tents who have the courage to ac,
But that the Jews among the nihilist:
exceed their proper proportion to the
whole population is denied by many
trustworthy writer's. The charge
that the Jew evades army service i.
disproved by official statistics.
