l'HEATRICALS.

On Tuesday evening Fanny Daven-
port will commence FIVE day engage
ment at the opera house in Cleopatra.
The cast of Cleopatra includes nineteen
speaking characters, headed by the tai
ented Melbourne Mcdowell as Marc
Antony. Then there is chorus, ballet
and auxiliaries to the number of 100
people, not to mention the two live
baby anacondas that perform the part
of the asp in giving the death sting to
Cleopatra in the last act. The play
itself is said to suggest the Shakes
pearean story in no way except as to
the general traditional facts of the cele-
brated queens reign. 1t is divided into
six acts, into each of which Sardou has
Infused interest and dramatic action.
Although the new scenery, costumes
and accoutrements were gotten together
in three short weeks, they are pro-
nounced to be even superior to those
which were the result of nearly years
hard labor and the expenditure of
$4,000, and which went up in smoke in
less than thirty minutes at the fire of
the Fifth-avenue theater in New York.

A Counting Chimpanzee.

The geological gardens have sustained
q serious bereavement in the death
of Sally, the black faced chimpanzee
from the west coast Of Gaboon, who for
eight years has entertained many thou
sands of folk of all ages and of both sexes
at the popular gardensin Regents park
The intelligent LSally has been the SUBJ
ject of comment among men of science,
of sages and philosophers, and possibly
theologians. Perhaps the most remark
able of her feats was that of counting.
Sally, in the presence Of a crowded
room, when called upon, say for bits of
straw in her cage, would give you the
exact number you named up to ten, and
the keeper has found her, when alone,
count in this way up to twenty. If one
of the public asked for five, six or nine
straws, or whatever quantity up to ten,
she would pick each deliberately up,
without any mistake, put one by one in
her mouth until all were got together,
and then give them into your hand.
If asked for "buttonhole," she would
take straw, break off part of the stalk
and put the ear into the buttonhole of
the keepers coat. She knew right from
left; would use spoon and sip with it
until the cup was empty. She was A
years old when first brought to this
country, and was therefore 10 years of
age when she died.-London Tit-Bits.

THE celebration of the opening of the
Terminal railroad at Long Beach tomor-
row will be an elaborate and enthusias-
tic demonstration. The chamber OF
commerce will attend en- masse, and
there will undoubtedly be the largest
representative gathering of the people
OF this section ever seen at the beach.
1t will be great send-off for the pretty
little city by the sea. In a general sense
the Inauguration of this road is one of
the most important events that has ever
occurred here. The Terminal is des-
tined to become leading factor in the
future commercial and manufacturing
development of Los Angeles. The COM
pletion of that road to Southern Utah
will open to us resources that are indis-
pensable in the building up of a great
city. 1t will give us cheap COAL and
that means the establishment of an un-
limited line of manufactures in this city
and vicinity. There is no reason why
Los Angeles should not supply the
United States with all sorts of fruit
CONNECTIONS that are now sent out to us
by France and Italy. AS it is, we have
made some advance in the production of
candied fruits; but with cheap fuel we
can supply all the markets of the coun-
try in competition with the foreign
articles.

A STARTLING development in the dis
astrous failure of the Maverick national
bank recalls the way in which Comp
troller Lacey used the power of his de-
partment to keep from the public the
rotten condition of the Philadelphia
Keystone bank. 1t appears that In
specting Agent Magruder reported to
his chief in Washington, as early as last
January, that the Maverick bank was
not sound, and recomm ended close in
vestigation of its affairs with view to
closing or rehabilitating it. No atten-
ton was paid to Magruder's warning.
Again, at the conclusion of the last
semi-annual inspection, Magruder re-
ported the bank as unsound, but this
warning also went unheeded. The poor
inspector was go overcome by the ex-
plosion of the Maverick bank that he
suddenly succumbed to an attack of
heart failure. Is it possible that Comp
troller Lacey makes common cause with
bank hooters? 1t was strongly suspected
that in the case of the Keystone bank
he acted under powerful cabinet in
fuences to shield the hackers of that in
stitution. In the case of the Maverick
bank, however, the only motive that can
be at present assigned for his extraor-
dinary conduct in repressing facts that
had officially come to his kno Wedge, is
an inexplicable sympathy with the
looters. Lacey's conduct requires inves-
tigation badly.

Keen Scented Bioodhounds.

This county, several months ago, pur-
chased pack of young bloodhounds to
be used in tracking escaping criminals
The dogs were placed in charge of Pat
Bergen, farmer living near here, for
training They were quick to learn,
being of unusual intelligence, and have
developed sagacity that is probably
not equaled by any other pack in the
south.
: A test of their scenting powers was
given few days ago in the presence of
the board of county commissioners The
dogs were fastened in their kennels and
a man was started off from Mr. Bergen's
house. He skirted the fence, and reach
ing the railroad track climbed upon a
freight car, walked along the roof of
that and other cars attached, coming to
the ground again at distance of 200
yards.
He then took two long planks and
walked along them, carrying each Of
them alternately and walking on the
other, so that for distance of 800 yards
his feet nor hands never touched the
ground. He then continued his course,
carefully covering up his tracks in the
dusty roadway by means of stick for
a distance of half mile. He continued
his course for two more miles, using
various devices to destroy the trail, and
finally took refuge in tree.
About three hours after the man had
reached the tree the dogs were brought
out. AS soon as they had caught the
scent they started off on run, finding
their first difficulty at the railroad cars.
They began to circle around in widening
circles until the scent was picked up
again at the point where the man had
left the cars. The animals had but little
difficulty in following the trail from
there to the tree. where they came to a
standstill, believing savagely when they
discovered the object Of their search

JIM. DAMRoN-It means a complete
triumph for protection, and certainty
of Republican president in 1892. In
terview in Express on effect of the elec-
tions.
There is a straightforth boldness in
the positive opinion here expressed by
our distinguished Republican fellow
citizen. Now that we have the Dam
roman opinion, let the Express ramify
it with the Lockwoodian. 1t is unfortu
nate that Abou Ben Adam Hammond il

What the Duds Wears.

Perhaps you haven't heard that the
entirely correct and unexceptionable
dude at present has the flower for his
buttonhole cut with long stem, which
must be permitted to stick out care
lessly from under the lapel of the coat.
It seems trifle, but of course it is just
such matters of no apparent moment
that distinguish the really, truly well
dressed man from the mere imitator
The latter is always somewhat behind
the mode and never up with it. For in
stance, just now he keeps on wearing a
sash instead of leather belt, which is
the proper caper. By next season he
will have caught on, and by that time
the swill will have adopted further
touches. s.--Interview in Washington Star.

The Ioneest Coal Train.

A train of 225 loaded four wheel coal
cars passed over the Lehigh Valley rail-
road few days ago. 1t was the longest

the world. Naturally this train suggests

the fire. The price jumped over 100 per
cent. and is still climbing. It was about
twenty-five cents a pound the day be-
fore the fire. We have fifty bales, with
about 225 pounds to the bale. Shellac

for the lack it. The men who have been
enriched by tariff discrimination are not

ABOUT OUR TIPS.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Ex-
press, does not appear to like our politi-
cal provisions. 1t says:
In an article on the elections the
HERALD this morning remarked: "Of
course no intelligent Democrat had the
remotest idea that his party would carry
Ohio" On October 10Th, IN the course
of an editorial headed The Political
Horoscope, the HERALD said: eff it
were not for dissensions in the Demo-
cratic party, there would be no doubt of
Campbell's triumphant reelection. 1t
looks very much as if he will be re-
elected anyhow" On October 28th, in
the same strain, the HERALD confident
ly declared: 'The Ohio Republicans
have stopped their game of brag and
are scared to DEATH" Comment is need
less.
We are compelled to say that we
rather like our political prognostica.
tions. The way the Republicans rushed
coin into Ohio it looks very much as if
they were scared. They needed the
Mclean detection from Campbell most
lamentably. In its issue of Sunday the
HERALD said:
Ohio, in nineteen elections out of
twenty, has gone against the Democratic
party, during the past forty years, by
$4,000. All the brag has
been taken out of Ohio Republicans,
and yet Democrat would be foolish, in
the light of the past, to bet against
Mckinley.
About New York Sundays HERALD
said;
The HERALD's political tip ON this
issue is that Flower, Democrat, will be
elected by one of those resounding ma
jorities that were always heard from
when Samuel J. Tilden ran for governor
of that state. The figures of Governor
Flowers majority will not be as large as
Grover Cleveland's were when he beat
Judge Folger, President Arthur's secre-
tary of the treasury; but, in the Ian
guage of Mercutio in referring to his
wound, "they will do-they will serve" f"
When Cleveland was elected governor of
New York by $4,000 and Hill lieuten-
ant-governor by 1877 900, big fight was
on between the Republican stalwarts
and half breeds, and Roscoe Conkling
had his war paint on in heavy colors.
Thirty thousand majority will do for
this year of grace, although it need
astonish no one if Flowers majority
should reach fifty thousand.
When it is borne in mind that Flower
has been elected by over forty-six thou
sand majority over Fassett, it will be
seen that the HERALD's Sunday tips
were not so bad. About Massachusetts,
we said
The contest in Massachusetts is also
interesting, and the Democratic cause,
in the hands of Governor Russell and his
coadiutors, is full-high advanced and
looks promising.
When our esteemed contemporary can
get within speaking distance of our tips,
made two days before the election, it
will be time for it to open out its bazoo.
