PERsIANS AGAINST TOBACCO.

lBy Anglo-Ameri1an cable to the Dispatch.l
TEHERAS, December 20.-The Persian
priests still maintain their interdict against
the use of tobacco, and the people obey
them implicitly. A somewhat dangerous
feature of the matter IS the attitude taken
against Christians. The walls of the city
have been placarded with appeals to the
Moslems, calling upon them to unite their
forces and exterminate the Christians.

New YORK, December 26.-The heaviest,
densest fog that has obscured this city for
years has hung over rivers and bay all day.
Traffic on the streets has been much i'm
peded. and on the rivers the ferry-boats,
tow-boats, and smaller craft have been
compelled to move at much reduced
speed.
Although several large ocean steamers
are due to-day none have been reported
from Fire Island, the only arrival being
the steamship Bermuda from St. Croix.
Outgoing mail steamships are employ
ing extra caution and moving down the
bay with only sufficient way on them to
keep them steerable. An object, they say.
cannot be seen from the bridge of a
steamer more than fifty yards away. All
trains on the various railroads are much
delayed, but as yet no serious accident has
been reported.

A STRANGE thing in small way is the
resentment which seems to crop up in
Santa Barbara, all on account of the
employment Of Douglass's Los Angeles
band to play at the Santa Barbara Agri-
cultural fair. The Los Angeles leader is
in receipt of copies of the Santa Barbara
Star, on the margin of which is written
in pencil, 'The citizens say there is
going to be trouble when those musi-
clans come up from Los Angeles" This
issue OF the paper is dated August 11th.
On the margin of the Morning Press is
inscribed the fateful legend, "The boys
from Los Angeles may be roughly dealt
with by Santa Barbara mob,'' Both
dread warnings are written in the same
hand. The situation is a grave one,
and recalls the horrible lines beginning,
''Fe, fl, TO, fun, smell the blood of an English
Be he live or be he dead, etc., etc."
to the extent the meter calls for. Doug
lass, if he be true Scotchman, and of
the most distant relationship to the
noble Scot of Sir Walters Waverly
novels and Lady OF the Lake, ought to
arm himself and followers with popguns
and do deadly execution on the (Santa)
Barbarian hosts,

All the signs point to great activity in
business of all kinds in Los Angeles
during the ensuing eight months.
There is no lexaggeration in saying
that we shall have a "boom." 1t will
be one founded upon production and
upon an intelligent forecast of the possi-
bilities of the country. 1t will grow
steadily with the passing years, and
there will be no unpleasant after-clap.
1t will reach food tide at the closing of
the great Columbian Exposition at Chi
cago, and by that time dozen new ele-
ments of wealth and prosperity will
enter into progress that will be unique
and magical, amongst which will be
manufactures founded upon cheap fuel
and the rich mineral resources which
have been lying perdu for years, owing
to lack of cheap transportation facili-

THE GRAIN SHOOTING.
The Examination of Morris Still in
Progress.


The Morris assault to murder examin-
alton is still in progress before Justice
Stanton, with prospects for an early
termination. Yesterday Fred Sherer,
a grocer, testified that he saw Morris a
few moments before and a few moments
after Grain was shot, near the saloon.
He was dressed in dark clothes, and
wore white necktie.
H. G. O'Bannon. the first man to en-
ter the saloon after the shooting, testi-
fed that he found the place full of
smoke.
W. H. Halland, school teacher, tes-
titled that he helped to dress Grains 8
wounds. The injured man thought he
was going to die, and kept crying ''Mur-
der, murder" continually.
At the afternoon session C..B. Ladd.
editor OF the Lancaster Times and one
of Morris's counsel, took the stand. He
was standiug in the door OF his Office.
about eighty-ive feet away from the
saloon, when the shooting occurred.
He saw the shots fred by a man who
was standing just across the sidewalk.
about five feet from the window near
which Grain sat, but the assassin was
in the shadow and Ladd could not iden-
tify him. He came through an alley
way next to the saloon, between that
and the adjoining buildings. The wit
ness did not make any attempt to cap
ture the man with the gun, but "stood
in astonishment" till Grain came out.
The man with the gun also waited till
Grain came out, when he followed him
up the road. Ladd followed both. but
at respectful distance.
o. B. Allen, the next witness, was at
the Lancaster hotel at the time of the
shooting. He ran over to the saloon.
200 yards distant, and saw Morris there
dressed in dark suit. The witness
said that Grains reputation was bad
and he wouldn't believe him under
oath.
Ernest Lynwood, Zack Gentry and
Geo. A. Helmore testified as to minor
matters, and the prosecution rested. The
defense moved to dismiss, but the mo-
ton was denied, and the taking of testi-
mony was proceeded with. Captain
Bailey and others were sworn, and the
examination went over till today.

Our esteemed contemporary, the
Times, is entirely mistaken in it's as
sumption that the HERALD is actuated
by any spite to Chief of Police Glass.
In this busy, work-a-day world we have no
time for personal prepossessions. What
we were interested in in the matter OF
the Lagnier picture was in keeping the
chief within the lines of his duty and
jurisdiction. As long as this journal is
published no such action as that as
cribed to the chief shall pass without
rebuke. Whether it is a case of Mr..
Alter, or Mr.. Alter Ego, we shall always
hew to the line in matters of personal
liberty, let the chips fall where they
may. The facts were as we stated them.
we see no reason to modify them,
and wecertainly have not modified them.
Any attemp. at prurient Paul Pry ad-
ministration of the police department
of Los Angeles will always meet with
the disapprobation of this journal.

The Idler, by c. Haddon Chambers.
was played last evening. at the opera
house, by the Lyceum company with the
following cast:
Irik sr John br'Ss Hordin9 NJ hei Ratclife @
Simeon Sir con- strong. s' A Eugene ormG ie
Mr. Merryweather r..........w J; IsM%yyne @ %yne
es1 Peotman ,Chas. Robinsoa
Lady Harding (iHeleep). Miss Georgia Cayvan
Kate Enc
......'........ Miss henrietta Crosman
The play is possessed of extraordinary
merit. 1t depends, not SO much as do
the Belasco-De Mile productions, on
admirable minute detail as on the
strength of the situations and the force
of the personality of each OF the char
acters.
Practically the play is much ado
about nothing. Sir John Harding in
his youth kills a man in America, that
mans brother Simeon Strong (by the
way, the author apparently thought that
Simeon was a typical American name)
determines to hand Sir John over to the
law; Strong's friend, Mark Cross, in
duces him, in return for having saved
ais life, to relinquish his desire for ven-
geance, and attempts to use his infiu-
ence with Strong, to persuade Lady
Harding, who was the love of his youth,
to yield to his passion. After all the
entanglements are made clear, Mark
Cross decides to head an expedition to
the north pole.
The success OF the evening was decid-
ediy made by Mr.. Ratcliffe; this man
has a clear, cold strength about his
work, and remarkably effective deliv-
cry. At the end of the third act where
he believed his wife faithless, he dis
played talent not far from genius. He
shared the stage then with Mr.. Kelcey,
Miss Cayvan and Mrs. Walcot, and as
the curtain fell, made an exit. In re-
sponse to call the curtain rose showing
all except Mr.. Ratcliffe, but that the
call was intended for him, was shown
by the continued applause until the cur
tam rose the second time, showing him
on the stage with the others.
Mr.. Kelcey did the very difficult work
in his role with most admirable skill.
There is not a fault of any note to be
found with this handsome artist, though
it is true that he seems to rely entirely
on we'll worn methods, rarely intro
ducing new turn, pose or expression.
Mr.. OrmOnde makes very frank,
consistent part out of Simeon Strong.
In his lighter scenes he was especially
good, and found an able and pleasing
opposite in Miss Shannon. Miss Cay
van had part which called for
her entire resources, and she won the
admiration of all by the power she dis
played. Mr.. LIE Moyne was hardly
recognizable in his English whiskers,
but his humor was as delicate and
natural as ever. Miss Crossman proved
herself comedienne of rare ability,
and was dazzlingly fair to look upon.
There was not man in the audience
but was sorry that the play did not per-
NIT them to see more of her. Mrs.
Walcot was a little out of her line as
Mrs. Cross, but was effective throughout.
There is no doubt that this COM
pany of players are at their best in The
Idler. sxags ..4s

Samuels, of old 'Kaintuck." +" is in truth

been nominated by the 'director-general

something in this business that the

The HERALD is indebted to Mr.. E. &.
Waite, secretary of state for California,
for copy of the California Blue Book,
or State Roster. 1t contains a great
deal of very interesting matter. The
typographical execution OF the work
can scarcely be called good, .and the
grouping of matter is not skillful. Much
OF the official value of the book is
marred by the fact that dates and other
interesting and necessary data are not
foxthcoming as incidents of the text.
Al it is the first effort in the right direc-
tion many faults can be condoned.
They will doubtless not be repeated in
subsequent editions.

The HERALD has sent a special cor
respondent out to Yuma to investigate
the Colorado river in connection with
the HERALD lake. He telegraphs us
last night that the engineers last week
discovered another large stream flow
ing into the Salton basin, ten miles
west of the stream navigated by the
Carter party last month. This is the
third large stream now known to be
howing into the basin. Thirteen miles
below Yuma is break 200 feet wide
and IA feet deep, through which cur
rent flows four miles per hour toward
Alamo Mocho and thence to Salton.
The river at Yuma is now at the 49,
foot mark. Reports of the crevasse in
the Colorado, 20 miles below Yuma, are
confirmed. 1t is 1900 feet long and 10
feet wide, and receives the whole vol
ume of the river.

JUDGE SHAW yesterday declared the
bail-bond of Wong Ark as insufficient.
One of the bondsmen was locked up for
perjury. There will certainly be uni
versal sentiment in this community that
the Judge did very righteous thing.
Chinese bonds are the most transparent
form Of straw bail, and no court expe-
rienced in such matters will recognize
the mockery. 1t is high time that the
Chinese imperium IN imperio which has
prevailed in California for many years
should come to an end.
