The HERALD some days ago chroni-
cled the fact that one of the hotel pro-
prietors of this city during the three
months past, cleared $4,000 profit,
Los Angeles has several good hotels and
they are all doing well, as in fact they
deserve to do, but the fact is that we
need great luxurious hostlery which
Will attract here the wealthy pleasure
and comfort-seeking classes. That a
splendid hotel would pay there can be
no doubt. Neither would it affect the
business of the excellent ones now here.
The presence of such an institution
would increase the business of all, The
construction of such an edifice is busi-
ness proposition that will bear the clos
est investigation, and which, if carried
out, will be found most profitable.

Mrs. LESLIE CARTER evidently intends
TO play the game of self-advertisement
for all it is worth. She used sensa-
tional divorce suit as a means of getting
on the stage, but found that she had no
talent, and thought she had not enough
notoriety; so she has now eloped with
another woman's husband, Mr.. David
Belasco, the well known playwright,
and will doubtless utilize the resulting
gossip as forerunner of again treading
the boards. 1t is such women and such
methods that serve to occasionally
bring the stage into disrepute, but TREY
always work their own destruction.
They are Izas in real life, but the type
pictured by that character has never
found continued favor from theater
patrons. The public will forgive light
mess, and carelessness of les convenances,
sometimes to an extreme degree, when
these faults are condoned by genius J;
but simply notoriety, or nastiness, can
mo longer boost an actress into success.

EUROPEAN LONGEVITY.

There are two very interesting features
of European contemporary politics.
Both Mr.. Gladstone and Prince Bis
marck are seeking political recognition,
and both are likely to attain it. Mr..
Gladstone has passed his eightieth year,
and the Prince of Blood and Iron has
seen his seventy-sixth year. They are
both as frolicsome as boys. There is
one incident OF the British parliament
that makes the virility of Mr.. Gladstone
very apparent. That body-at least as
respects the house OF commons-fre-
quently continues it's sessions until or
A o'clock in the morning. The ability
of an aged man like Gladstone to sus-
tain these extremely prolonged hours
would be subject of wonder in Amer
lea, but it is not necessarily SO in Eng
land, or in any other European coun-
try. Possibly one Of the most interest
ing circumstances in recent history was
the attempt to throw out Chief
Baron Lefebre, of the Irish bench.
This gentleman was ninety-seven years
old when an attempt was made
to remove him through parliamentary
commission. The baron was heavy
drinker, but the result of the parlia-
mentary investigation was that the
Liberal committee was obliged to report
that the baron was the ablest Judge in
Ireland. Shortly after the report Lord
Derby came into power, and the Judge
sent in his resignation in time to have
the chief of his party appoint his sue
cessor.
Europeans live to almost impossible
ages. The narratives of Genesis say
that Abraham lived to be nine hundred
and sixty years old. There is, of course,
some question as to whether these fig
ures are fictitious or otherwise. But for
an all-round modern long-liver the
Count de Waldeck was pretty solid
man. When the count was one hun
dred and twenty-seven years of age a
Partisan journalist interviewed him,
and asked him how long he expected to
live. "Live," said the count, 81 am
slowly eternalizing myself. never ex-
pect to die."
He had to die all the same, but he was
slow about it. The Field Marshal, Won
Wrangel, was pretty slow man passing
in his checks on the German army staff.
The Emperor William the First was a
lieutenant on the staff of Won Wrangel
at the battle of Waterloo. When Will
liam struck his eighty-ffth birthday
Won Wrangel was ninety-seven. He
delivered the commemorative address
ON the birthday. and told the emperor
that he was mere boy.
When the French revolution was
fairly started the people of France sum-
Voltaire to the front. He was
nearly nonagenariar, but he was able
to crowd forward and be crowned in the
French capital as a poet and philoso-
pher.
1t may be question as to whether
Americans live as long as the famous
whom we have named. And
yet Bancroft, the historian, and other
like Ben Butler, would sug-
gest great possibilities of longevity. The
English and French people have the
benefit of having a record of longer
lived distinguished men than we have;
but it is a question as to whether, in
Connecticut, and other eastern states,
the people OF the United States do not
attain a longevity as prolonged as any
thing recorded in Europe or elsewhere.

An Exciting Episode at Walls
Walla Barracks.
The Murderer of Private Miller Rid
died With Bullets.
Fifty or Sixty Troopers Engaged In the
Lynching-Their Identity Hard
to Establish.
Associated Press Dispatches.


WALLA WALLA, WASH, April "a
Shortly after 8 O'Clock tonight A. j.
Hunt, the slayer of Private Miller, was
lynched by soldiers from the garrison,
and fell in the court house yard, riddled
with sixteen bullets, four OF which en-
tered his head.
Early in the evening Sheriff McFar-
land received intellig gence that an at
tempt would be made tonight to lynch
Hunt, and he, in company with Prose-
cutting Attorney Brandford, repaired to
the garrison and told Colonel Compton
what they feared, and asked him to as
sist them, which he promised to do, by
having check rolls called after taps of IL
O'Clock. The sheriff returned and en-
gagged number OF extra guards, but all
of whom had not arrived when a mob
of sixty or seventy soldiers demanded
the officers to open the doors of the JAIL
which was refused, and they at once
BEGAN TO BREAK IN.
Again they demanded admittance,
and said they would give them half a
minute to open. or they would blow up
the court house with dynamite. Fur
ther resistance then being useless, the
doors were opened, and thirty or forty
cooked revolvers were leveled at the
heads of all inside, and the keys to the
cells were demanded, which were given
them; and when Hunts cell was shown
them, they quickly took him out into
the court house yard, and about thirty
shots were fired.
THE PLANS OF THE SOLDIERS
were carefully laid, as sentinels were
posted at all the streets approaching the
courthouse, with cooked carbines in
hand, halted every passer-by and COM
PEELED him to retrace his steps, under
threat of instant death. Even telephone
wires to the garrison were cut, render
ing quick communication with the Off
GERS impossible.
After the shooting had stopped the
soldiers all ran off and Hunt was found
dead within fifty feet of the court
house doors.
WILD EXCITEMENT.
The people who heard the shots knew
what had happened. as threats to lynch
HUNT mad Deen heard Tor the past forty
eight hours, and in few minutes 1000
people had congregated. Women and
children screamed and wept in their ex-
citement, and to make the confusion
worse the fire bell began ringing, which
rapidly increased the already large
crowd
Hunts body was carried into the
court house and an inquest is now being
held. 1t will be very difficult to iden-
tify those concerned in the shooting,
though not over one-half of them were
masked. Excitement has quieted down
at midnight.
THE CoRoNER's VERDICT.

came to his death by sixteen gurshot
wounds, inflicted at the hands of mob,

FRESH tales are coming to hand of the
horrors of the civil war in Chile. A
feature of the battles seems to be that
all the prisoners of war are slaughtered
in cold blood. The insurgent leaders
have sworn not to lay down their arms
until they have hanged President Bal
maceda on one of the public squares OF
Santiago. Great distress prevails
throughout the country. In Iquique,

She has peaks of snow and caverns OF fire.
Glittering castles aud dungeons dire
And giants aud dwurfs and monsters rare
Follow Der beck through the lucid air
Amid the wavelfng train she dwells,
Where the wind forever sinks aud swellr
Singing its marvels low or loud
Through opal Vapor or sunset cloud
But at night, when shadows on earth lie deep
And weary mortalS are wrapped in sleep
The Wild Queen comes, with her mystic power
To cast her spell on the persisted hour
She bids faded moonlight fall
Yellow once more on hut or hall
And con jurcs back their ickle grace
To the grief bowed form and the wrinkled face
Hope that was starved and love that was slain
In her wondrous presence revive again;
Earth smiles In her tender. unknown light
And this wofui waste is a garden bright
Where the heavy burdens of wrong and care
By soft euchantment grow light as air
Restless ana SAD, Tor her mercy pray
Those spirits who pine for a vanished day;

Like smoke from fire their prayers arise;

The Need of Teaching Patriotisns

AT the close of the first half century
of the government, when, for instance,
Webster delivered his eulogy of Adams
and jefferson, or his Grafton at the
foundation of the Bunker Hill monu-
ment, there was no necessity of consid-
ering how to stimulate and deepen the
sentiment of nationality, The vast
flood of foreign immigration with which
we are familiar had hardly begun to
rise, and an appeal to American patriot
ism touched every heart with the same
emotion. That day is passed,
The necessity and the consequent
duty of instruction in national history
and of preservation of the national
traditions are imperative. The funda-
mental truths that there is no liberty
without law, that every form of class
legislation is anti-republican, that edu-
Gated intelligence is a chief bulwark of
free institutions, that individual vigil
lance and activity are the guarantee of
political progress must be constantly
and practically inculcated. -Harper'S
Weekly
