An Eatimate of LOWELL.

The sense of loss in the case Of Lowell
is remarkably personal even among those
who did not know him, but it is very
much more than personal. His nature
was singularly rich and full. AS one of
his most intimate friends said, hefwas
an extraordinary intelligence. Another
observed that what he said or wrote
seemed but drop from a vast reserve
of resources. He never lost his playful
ness of mind or manner, although they
did not appear to all men. He was not
readily accessible to everybody, because
he was not willing that his life should
be devastated by the dull and merely
curious and idle. ethis charm of man
ner was fascinating, and his gracious
ness and kindness were often remarkable
to those who had no claim of any kind
upon his regard.
No one among us probably was SO fa-
miliar as he with literature in general or
held his resources so completely at COM
mand. The felicities of his conversation
were incessant and remarkable. To
talk with him was like reading a good
book, and his slightest notes have so12e

CRACKSMEN AGAIN.

Detective Bosqui Discovers an Exten-
sive Robbery on First Street.
Yesterday afternoon Detective Bosqui,
while on a general skirmish, made a
most startling discovery on First street.
The side door OF the big building at No.
SOB East First, formerly used for cold
storage, had been broken into by burg
lars. The building of late has been oc-
cupied by the Tehachapi Lime and Tim
ber company, who also have storage
and commission business. A lot Of
trunks were stored in the building, and
the burglars had rihed hali-a-dozen OF
them, scattering what they rejected all
over the floor. They had also knocked
the knob off the safe, had drilled hole
into the combination and had used a
punch in trying to open the strong box.
They had, however, failed III cracking
the safe.
On the billheads Of the company +. j.
Long is named as secretary and treas
urer. Mr.. Long was found, but said he
had nothing more to do with the estab-
lishment, nor did he know where the
president, l. B. Wood, was to be found.
Mr.. Bosqui accordingly locked the doors
with police locks, guard was put on
the premises, and the search for some
body interested was continued.

An Author Absent ON His s.First Night"
The famous play, ''The Lady of
LYONS" was in rehearsal in the early
part of 1883. On the evening of Thurs
day, Feb. IS. it was announced for rep
resentation. Curiosity had been for
some time excited regarding the power
and brilliancy of this play, and the first
representation was therefore attended by
an unusually large audience. Men and
women Of rank and fashion filed the
boxes. The curtain rose, and the play
began amid breathless interest. Ma
cready, who took the part of Claude
Melnotte, had never acted with greater
force and energy; Miss Faucit NOW Lady
Martin) played with dignity and grace;
and before the first act was finished
every one predicted that the drama
would prove successful.
Curiosity regarding the author was
now rife. A thousand surmises were
made as to his name. None seemed to
recognize the work as Bulwer's. AS the
play went on the applause increased.
Miss Faucit not merely won plaudits, she
drew tears from the audience. "Her
first indication of changed feeling" says
The Morning Chronicle, "from agony to
rage, at the word mother addressed to
the Widow Melnotte, was an exquisite
touch of genuine nature"
Meanwhile, Bulwer was not present to
witness the triumph of his production.
He was detained in the house of COM
mons by debate on the ballot, in which
he took part. The curtain had risen on
the last act when he entered Lady Bles-
sington's box. The audience was follow
ing the play with rapt attention; and,
finally, as the curtain fell, burst into a
tumult of prolonged applause. Cham

Foreign Authors Returns.

1t may be interesting to know how
literary men fare, both in France and
Germany. In the first named country
authors have certainly not much cause
for complaint. Nine. de Genlis received
81 600 for her "Memoirs;" Ladvocat paid
Beranger ESQ for fifty of his "Cansons
Nouvelles," and twenty pounds for each
successive poem the same publisher gave
Lamartine e22 900 for one edition of his
works, and subsequently 1,600 for his
"Chute dun Ange," while his ''Histoire
des Girondius" brought him $4,000.
This same amount was paid to Thiers
for his "Histoire du Consulat ct de PEm-
pire." 1t is we'll known fact, too, that
modern authors dispose now of their
works at fabulous prices. In Germany,
however, things are by far not so -four
ishing.
In Luther's time seven pence per print
ed page was considered to be high figure.
Voss was obliged to offer his celebrated
translation of Homer direct to the pub
lie for six shillings per volume because
no publisher would pay him that sum.
Wieland received five florins per page
from Orol, Gressner & Co., in Zurich,
for his "Komische Erzahlungen," and
Klopstock's "Messiah" fetched six shil-
lings per printed page. Schiller, and
especially Goethe, Jared much better in
that respect. Gotta, the publisher, paid
Goethe els, 900 for complete edition of
his works, and moreover bought the
copyright from Goethes heirs for e22,-
600. There is still, however, a great diff
ference in the amount paid to modern
German authors compared to their more
fortunate English and French confreres.

HARRIS'S DOG.
The Great Shadow Detective Creates
a Row at Westlake.


Emil Harris, the celebrated Hawk
shaw detective, together with his broth
er and a dog, were at Westlake park
yesterday for an airing. The dog began
amusing himself by digging rat holes In
the lawn, which, as everyone knows, Is
against the rules. Mr.. Harris was
therefore demonstrated with by the
park manager, and reciprocated politely
by knocking the manager down. In
order to show the valiant Sleuth that ne
did not exactly run the town, Special
Officer Howard, secretary OF the park
board, and late anchor man OF the police
team, interfered and caught Mr.. Harris
most forcibly by the collar. The private
detectives brother had an eloquent gilt
OF the CAB, however, and at his solicita-
ton the two companions OF the dog, TO-
gether with the latter, were allowed TO
depart. Today, however, the park man
ager intends making information against
Harris for battery.

Many mine shows vein of metal when
you least expect it. Many man surprises
you with kindness when his whole aspect
seems forbidding. A particularly tough
looking fellow was weaving unsteadily down
the leyee the other day, his ragged clothing
badly soied, and his stubby beard darken-
ing face that was red and bloated from ex-
cesses. He was walking alone and was
talking little in a maudlin way.
One of the myriad little children who live
God alone knows how--in that forbidding
place was trundling a toy wheelbarrow
along the uneven sidewalk, and in the bat
tered vehicle was her kitten, a sorry-looking
thing, but the only pet she had. She came
kicked the barrow-cat and all-clear into
the middle of the street He had some com
panions, and they laughed at the flying,
sprawling, complaining cat; laughed even
harder when the little girl cried bitterly at
the ruin of her toy.
The lonely, soliloauizing, rough faced
rounder stopped unsteadily a moment, and
then he launched himself into the group of
heartless rowdies. He was match for them
at their best, and In moment they had scat
tered and fled. The little girl had been
penned in doorway and could not escape.
He saw her, the tears cutting pitiful white
down her dirty. frightened face, and he
stopped and gathered her in his arms.
Come, Oh, my beauty" he said, with
heartiness. We'll buy another barrow"
And he carried her into the nearest store
where everything is kept and anything is
sold and found the thing she wanted. The
dealer had seen-as had the entire block

effort to tighten the chid's heart, and he set
a handsome price on the whcelbarrow But

LADY CHURCHILL.
An Absurd EumOr That Her Husband Is
Jealous Of the Duke Of Clarence.

New YORK. July ia cable dispatch
this morning from London stated that
rumors were in circulation that Lord Ran
dolph Churchill was jealous on accouat of
the Duke of Clarence. but they were be-
lieved TO be not well founded, for not only
did the Prince of Wales dine with Lord
Randolph before he left for Africa. but he
was present at the railway station. II is
said that there have been breaches between
Lord and Lady Randolph, but that recon-
ciliation was brought about 5y his sister.
Lady Randolph has largely aided in the poiti-
cal advancement of her husband and he is not
at liberty to enter a divorce court against
his wife on account of an Objectionable dis
play Of the Duke of CIarence's calf love.
Frank Work, who has known Lady Rau-
doiph all her life, cannot believe any harm
of her. Her father, Leonard Jerome, al
most Impoverished himself to give her
dowry of S50,00D, and an income OF $4,000
year. Work says it has been intimated
that Lord Randolph is dissatisfied with
his wlte's money arrangements, and there
has been some talk Of an attempt on the
part of her sisters to break the trust deed,
and this, perhaps, has caused he rumors of
divorce. Mrs. Paran Stevens, who has
just returned from Europe, says nothing OF
the sort was talked of in London when
she was there. II Lord Randolph was
dissatisfied it would moro likely be
with his wife's money arrangements than
with her cOnduc,, for there has never been
breath of aspersion against her. Thomas
Foote, co-truStee with the Duke of MarlOor-
ough of Lady Randolph's property, says the
story is absurd, ana that her sisters dc not
and could not break the trust deed.

twenty-five Victims Of an Error
Of Judgment.
accident on The Midland Railroad at
Aspen Junction, Colorado.
L Passenger Coach Filled With Hot Water
and Steam by Collision
Of Seven Of the Injured.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

ASPEN (Colo.), July ia horrible rail-
road accident occurred at Aspen junction,
on the Midland road, last night A special
train was backing from the water-tank to
switch on TO the Aspen track, when the rear
end Of the passenger coach crashed into an
engine coming from the round-house The
check-valve OF the side of the boiler was
broken off and the hot water and steam
poured into the broken end of the passenger
car, horribly scaldiug thirteen passengers
five men. seven women and one child. All
that was possible was done to relieve the
suGerings of the unfortunates, but Mr.. and

Baldwin of Glenwood. Colo. Frank Ellis of
Aspen, Colo, and baby have already died
and others are in a critical condition.
The disaster was probably due to an er-
Tor Of Judgment on the part of the
"hostler" bringing an engine out from the
ronnd-house. He thought to clear the ma in
track before the passenger train reached
him, and was pushing his engine at high
speed. just at the coal chutes he struck
the rear corner of paSsen ger coach, tear
ing hole in it and ripping the valve from
the engine Torrents of scading steam and
water poured in upon the victims, and of
twenty-five passengers in the coach three
colored men in the forward apartment we're
the only ones who escaped without injury.
Tonight the remainder of the injured are
resting quietly and there Is good chance of
