Mrs. Cleveland Presents the Ex.Presi.
dent with an Heir, But Not
Son.
The Newcomer Daughter, and She
Weighed Eight Pounds at
Birth.
Five O'Clock In the Morning Her Time
of Arrival-Mother and Child
Doing Well.

New YORK, Oct. 5.-Mrs. Grover
Cleveland has become mother The
welcome new conner in the ex-president's
family is daughter. At the Mills
building, where Mr.. Cleveland has his
law Office, it was apparent to visitors
who asked for him during the morning
that something of more than ordinary
interest kept him at home. Along about
IL o'clock the ex-president's secretary
came to the Office after Mr.. Ceveland's
personal mail and related the reason for
the ex-president's absence. Everybody
about the Office was smiling when it be-
came known that the ex-president was
the father of a pretty eight-pound, fair
haired girl, who had arrived in the
night. Mr.. Ceveland's law partners
and Colonel Dan Lamont, who has an
Office in the same building, confirmed
the report, and after the close of the
stock market, and while the lawyers
who have their offices in the big
buildings on Broad and Wall street,
were going home little else was talked
of. Colonel Lamont and other personal
friends of the Cevelands at once sent
their congratulations and rejoiced to re-
ceive assurances from Mr.. Cleveland
that both mother and child were doing
well. At the residence of the ex-presi-
dent on Madison avenue the servants
simply confirmed the report, but would
venture no other information than that
the event occurred at r O'clock o. nm !.
that it had been expected for two days,
and that Mrs. Cleveland is at present
doing very well.

CHICAGO, Oct. Green b. Raum,
pension commissioner, has not resigned.
He arrived at the Grand Pacific hotel
late at night and will stay in the city
until Oct. v. Mr.. Raum Is here in con-
nsction with the business Of the army
Of the Tennessee, which intends to take
such an active part at the unveiling of
the Grant monument.
When asked If he had resigned, the
commissioner replied: s.Well, no.
have only spoken to President Harrison
privately concerning the attacks on my
administration Of the pension Office. I
told him that did not wish to be an en-
barrassment to the Republican party. If
this incessant abuse, however untrue,
would prove embarrassing to the party,
then was willing to resign rather than
prove . stumbling block. The presi-
dent told me that he was satisfied with
my administration. Consequently 1
shall not resign as long as feel sure
that the party will not suffer. The at
tacks upon my administration have been
inspired solely by men who have been
disappointed in their quest for promo
tion.p

LONDON, Oct. 6.--Ths English govern
ment is said to be reluctant, now that
Russia has refused, to lead naval
demonstration against China, the ques-
tion being whether English interests
would not be more injured than helped
by England giving Russia chance to
gain foothold in the good viii of the
Pekin authorities. The prospects now
are that there may be no demonstration.

A SHORT time ago apetition was widely
circulated and signed calling upon the
city council to put o stop to the cruel
way in which dogs are treated by the
men who are detailed to catch, impound
and kill those that are not reclaimed by
their owners. But nothing came OF 1T.
There is state law which declares dogs
to be property. suppose the dog-catch-
ers should destroy valuable canine
belonging to man OF litigious turn,
and he were to question in the courts
the right Of the city to do go on the
ground that the statute declares dogs to
be property, and therefore cannot be
lawfully destroyed any more than other
property can be lawfully destroyed? :?
There might be such case, and if the
owner had included the value of his dog
in his assessment list, the case would
still be placed in stronger light. 1t is
argued that the city has the right under
it's municipal powers to exact license
for keeping dog. True; but if the
owner fail to take out the license, does
it follow that the city has the right to
kill the dog, which is property? It
might sell the animal, or punish the
owner; but has it any more right to
destroy the dog, which is property, than
it would have.to destroy the goods in the
store of a man who was delinquent in
the payment of his license?

HoN. JOHN B. HAsKN, who nearly two
years ago was the victim in this city Of
very adroit bunco conspiracy, has re-
turned to Los Angeles for the purpose of
testifying in the matter OF recovery from
the bondsmen of the man Rose, who left
them in the lurch. The Tuscarora chief
of Tammany, Notwithstanding his adj
vanced age, has made the trip from New
York here simply in the interest Of
justice and the vindication OF the laws,
and deserves credit for his public spirit.
In his prime Mr.. Haskin was one of the
foremost public men Of the Empire
state, and his long services as repre-
sentative in congress gave him con-
spicuoqs national reputation. AS an
effective party manager he had but few
peers in the Democratic organization,
and even now his counsels are sought in
critical emergencies. He doubtless re-
fleets the views of the most sagacious
Democrats of his state when he saws
that if New York is to furnish the next
candidate for the presidency it would be
the part of wisdom to select Governor
David B. Hill for the head of the ticket.

A MAMMOTH DISASTER, INDEED.

The public are getting 80 used to
dreadful catastrophes in coal mines,
involving the destruction of human life
by wholesale, that even the latest horror
which occurred in the Mammoth coal
mine, near Youngwood, Pennsylvania,
and which surpasses all previous similar
calamities in this country in the num-
ber of its victims, has created but a
passing impression OF commiseration in
localities remote from the awful scene.
This is result greatly to be deplored.
1t shows q hardening of the public Gym
pathies in the face of great calamities
that is not creditable to human nature.
Yet it is law of our being that
familiarity with misery deadens the
sense of our feelings, and causes us
frequent occurrence with an un-
concern which seems like the stoical
indifference OF the Mongolian at whole
sale decapitation. But the sacrifice of
human life in the Mammoth mine was
30 sweeping in its character and SO de-
plorable in it's consequences, that we
cannot but be moved by the common
feelings of humanity when we contem-
plate it. Out of the one hundred and
sixty men in the mine at the time OF the
explosion, only nine have escaped alive.
No battle, no siege, no naval combat,
could show such result; indeed such
percentage of loss could only be par
alleled in some frightful sea accident
where vessel is suddenlyfoundered or in
calamity such as destroyed Johnstown,
or in some great perturbation of nature
in which city is swallowed up by a
seismic catastrophe. And vet we are
told that this mine was considered the
safest in the whole Pennsylvania coal
region, and that work in it was sought
on that account in preference to en-
ployment in many others. 1t was be-
lieved to be entirely free from fire-damp,
that deadly enemy to the worker in coal
pits; and we are also told that its own
ers adopted every means Of precaution
against accident. Yet this mine, so
carefully managed, and 50 popular with
the underground workers, has given us
the most fearful example OF the insecu-
rity of human life in the coal pit. This
insecurity should lead to scientific in
yestigation in the interest Of safety. We

Theater

Next Week at the Los Angeles
Theater.
There is nothing next week at any of
the places of amusements except at the
New Los Angeles theater, which will
open on Monday night, February I'd,
with the representative company OF the
Pacific coast. During the short season,
which will include seven performances,
they will produce three well-known
comedies. On Monday and Tuesday
evenings The Magistrate, with J.. R.
Stockwell in the title-role, will be the
attraction. Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings Augustin Daly's New York
comedy success, 1908, will be
given. Friday and Saturday even
ings Nat Goodwin's comedy, Turned Up,
will receive its first presentation before
Los Angeles audience. The Alcazar

duction and staging OF their pieces.
The sale of seats opened yesterday morn
ing at the box Office, and the demand
was very large.
HILD-PARK CONCERT.
Tonight will occur at the Simpson M.
E. church the second concert by that
excellent and artistic organization, the
Hild-Park Concert company. The en-
tertainment will be under the auspices
OF the Star Lecture course, who only
today succeeded in securing them for a
return concert, there being a very gen.
eral request for another of their delight
ful concerts before returning east, which
they will do in few days, filing dates
en- route.
The programme is popular one, and
has been especially arranged to please.
The rendering by Carl Hid, the violinist,
on one string only. OF an aria, by Pagan
ini, which he will play by special request,
is said to be truly wonderful. They
come to us well endorsed by the eastern
press. The following from the Worces-
ter Daily Telegram of November 18th,
where music is paramount, explains the
company's popularity: "The leader of
the company, Herr Carl Hid, is
violinist every inch of him. His play
ing last night attested the fact. The
difficult executions OF Variations de
Brarara, by Paganini, ,on one string only,
won him well-merited applause.
Miss Annie Park, the cornetist, is we'll
known to Worcester audiences, she hay
ing been here several times with the
famous Park sisters.

encored in their duet, Miserere, from II
