The Fashion in Mouths.

1.-THE fashion is changed altogether
now in mouths" Miss Sweet. Eighteen

of my bewilderment echoed. Fashion

Eyes, in holding them" was the re-
ply. Don't you remember that little
while ago girls had the chic mouth?
Sort of held close smily look that went
with glances and bobs of the head, and
all that. Mouth fashions come from
actresses almost always, think, though
we don't confess it, and some of us don't
know it. Then came the rosebud. That
went with the baby stare. A sort of
kiss me expression would be almost fast,
you know, if it didn't have the baby
stare to cover it up. That went for quite
long while.
"lt was big thing for the girls whose
eyes could do it, and becoming to their
mouths, too, because SO often real baby
eyes have big mouths that actually need
rosebudding Then we had the serene
mouth. That was very exclusive fash
ion, because few could follow it. 1t
went with stare very like the baby,
except that it was more grown up. 1t
was sort of high bred, Idon't-under-
stand-you-look that suited arched eye-
brows beautifully. The lips were set
into smile. One really had to be born
to that expression or one looked like an
electrified idiot. But most of us tried it.
''Now the classic has come in. 1t be-
longs to the new, big girl. 1t is just i'm
possible for most of us. The lips are

THEATRICAL MATTERS.

Mr.. Frederick Warde will commence
an engagement at the opera house on
Wednesday night.
The following assertions are made by
the management:
In The Lions Mouth Mr.. Warde has
secured one of the best plays of his
career. 1t possesses every quality to re-
commend itself to the public, literary
beauty, dramatic strength and pic
turesque grandeur. He has a splendid
opportunity to display his versatility,
and one which he does not fail to grasp.
1t is novelty to see Warde playing the
young lover and gallant but he has been
credited with the same success that has
marked his performances of Virginius,
Richard Ill and all those old standard
plays with which his name has been
80 long associated.
The supporting company includes Miss
Adele Belgrade and Chas. Herman. two
strong members OF the profession, and
Miss Bowman, a California favorite. Mr..
Warde will play Virginius on Saturday
night, in place of Damon and Pythias.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick Warde ar
rived in the city yesterday afternoon
and registered at the Westminster
hotel. The eminent actor was on his
way to San Diego, where he fills an en-
gagement this evening.

Alfred Bradley, in advance of Hsnlon's
Superba, is in the city. This will be
eeen at the opera house next week. Mr..
Bradley makes the following claim for
the production:
1t is said to be as much unlike Sindbad
and kindred extravaganzas as it is un-
like anything now before the public. It
is said to be a pantomine, pure and sim
pie, with the added attractiveness of
spectacle. 1t is described as an artistic
mingling of everything unique that be-
longs to this department of the drama.
1t is feast for the young folk and
delight for their elders. The innumera-
BILE mechanical tricks and illusions are
said to be all laughable, many startling
ard number that are extraordinary to
a degree. Gorgeous and elaborate traps-
formations are conspicuous in the scenic
department, and the romantic story is
heightened in interest by the introduce
tion of grotesque dancers, pretty ballets
and daring acrobats. The performance
is said to have struck the public fancy in
Frisco as it has everywhere else, and
seats for the remaining nights are cell
| ing at big premium.

Matron-Mr. Nicefello, l dislike to
scold, but really must. You ought to
know better than to keep my daughter
standing in that cold front hall half an
hour, saying good night to her, as you
did last night, and as you do every tiife
you come. This morning she had ter
rible cold, and her lungs are not strong,
you know.
Mr.. Nicefello-My goodnessl Is she
sick?
Matron-No, but she's had narrow
escape. Now these long drawn out
good nights have got to stop.
Mr.. Nicefello-Indeed they must, my
dear madam. I'll go right out for a

A CUTTING SCRAPE.
Dan Cooley Nearly Loses His Right
Hand.

Dan Cooley Nearly Loses His Right
Hand.
A cutting scrape occurred yesterday at
saloon opposite the Main-street gar
den, at Fortieth and Main streets, in
which a man named Dan Cooley had his
right hand nearly cut off at the wrist.
1t seems that a man named Duncan
was drunk, and Thomas Hill, the saloon
keeper, essayed to put him out, and at
last attacked Duncan with shovel,
throwing it at the man. At this Cooley
jumped up and said, "Don't kill the
man."
Here the stories differ. Cooley claims
that Hill then picked up knife from
the lunch counter and attacked him, in
tiicting the cut in his wrist. Hill states
that Duncan in the scuffle broke pane
OF glass in window and that Cooley
cut himself on that.
J The wound was a serious one, the
arteries being severed, and for a time
there was danger OF Cooley bleeding to
death.
The sheriff's Office and the police were
notified Of the occurrence. Deputy
Sheriff Russell was detailed on the case,
and in few minutes had Hill lodged in
the county Jail.
Cooley was taken to the receiving hos
pital, and the severed arteries were
tied, and he was later removed to his
home,

SAN FRANCISCO has produced an opera
which has passed the ordeal OF first per-
formance before a large and critical
audience, and been pronounced great
success. The libretto was written by
Daniel O'Connell, bright literary
young man of that city, and the score
by Mr.. III. j. Stewart, musician and
composer who has distinguished himself
heretofore in San Francisco by produc-
ing cantata and an oratorio that were
very favorably received by the critics.
Bluff King Hal is the title of the opera
which these two gentlemen lave given
to the public. The characters were all
personated by amateurs chosen from
leading society people, and il we are to
accept the verdict Of the San Francisco
press, they astonished and delighted an
immense audience with their very clever
rendition. Our Pacific coast metropolis
can boast of something that no other
city can claim-that she has produced an
opera without aid from noted composers
or librettists, and presented it success
fully without the assistance of profess
sional opera singers. And what is more
to the purpose seems to be the admitted
fact that Bluff King Hal possesses mu-
sical and literary merit that will give it
permanent place in the list OF standard
operas.

One Bold Girl Cows a Mob.

In the Jail is man who was caught
numbering traveller for money, and the
people decided that they could not wait
until the law had run its course and de-
termined to take the matter in their own
hands and lynch the fellow. The sheriff
received warning of the intended lynch
ing and collected four deputies and an
nounced his determination to guard the
Jail at all hazards.
At IL o'clock at night summons
came for him to open the doors and give
up the prisoner or the Jail would be
burned down. AS the structure is wooden
this would have been an easy matter
and the sheriff decided that he had bet
ter succumb to the mob than endanger
the lives of the other inmates. He ac-
cordingly made the announcement to
bis deputies and sent one to inform the
leader of the mob that he could have
the prisoner. During the parley the
sheriff and all his deputies went outside
of the Jail, when suddenly the door was
slammed and bolted A girl about nine
teen years old appeared at one of the
upper windows and told the astonished
crowd that they could not have the man.
She was Susan Dorder, the daughter
of the sheriff. She said that she was
not afraid of the mob and would shoot
the first man who attempted to approach
the place to set it on fire. She would
not let her father back into the house.
and told them that they could not ac-
complish anything by remaining. The
mob talked a little and then cheered the
plucky girl and left, telling her that they
would not harm the murderer, as he
had such brave defender. - Willeston

The public has had frequent glimpses
of the skeleton in the Blaine family's
closet, but not before the present has
the specter been paraded before the pub
lie by Mr.. Blaine himself. For three or
four years the newspapers have abounded
with accounts of the clandestine mar
riage of James G. Blaine, jr., with Miss
Nevins, their subsequent separation and
recent divorce. While the elder Mrs.
Blaine has generally been held RESPONSE
BILE for breaking up the union, no word
in her defense was ever publicly uttered
by her husband, until the general CEN
sure was given a sort of Off
cial expression by the sound roast
ing administered by the Dakota
court. 1t seems that this quasi-official
recognition of the scandal was all that
was needed to bring forth declaration
on the subject, by the man noted for
writing sensational open letters. At
least now comes James G. Blaine with
"a personal statement on the subject
of his sons matrimonial troubles, the
gist of which is that he says his son has
been more einned against than SHINING,

MENDINe STOCKINGS.

Pair of baby's stockingsl
They are small and black and plain,
But find sweet satisfaction
In looking them over again.
l mended these same stockings.
1t must be two years ago
And then they were laid in the drawer.
There was no one to wear them, you know
For our own beautiful baby
Had gone to a fairer cline;
She had entered the golden city
Where we hope to meet her some time.
And though in the mending basket
There still were stockings small,
There were none for a tiny baby
With dainiiest feet of all.
Yet again from the open heaven
A wonderful gift has come.
And the sound Of baby's cooling
Is heard again in our home.
And tiny feet are moving
Along the nursery floor,
And dainty baby stockings
Are needed now once more.
Is it strange that | find pleasure
In taking them in my handY
They speak of our newest treasure,
And of one in the Fatherland.

"YoURs TRULY"

1t is said that nature is so provident
of the necessities of mankind that for
every i'll there is remedy, If it is care
fully sought out. Shakespeare embodied
the substance of this sentiment in the
aphorism, "There is a soul of good in
things evil would men but observingly
distill it out" Thus, in the last weeks
of 1887 and the opening ones OF 1888, we
had grievous experience in Los An
geles. 1t was wrapped up in the burst
ing of speculative boom which carried
disquiet into the minds of many Ange-
lefios.
From that time until recently this
community has been suffering from
hope delayed of its fruition-that hope
deferred that maketh the heart sick.
We probably reached the bedrock about
July of last year, and number of be-
nevolent people, seeing that we are
surely on the up grade, have come to
our rescue. Amongst the rest was the
say shall we say notorious-"Jay-
hawker," of happy memory.
This gentleman would be an acquisi-
tion to any community. He is comely
OF presence, although partial friend
would not advise him to present his
side face for classical outlines, the nose
being perhaps out of fastidious lines.
Whatever "Jayhawker" lacks in per-
sonal beauty, however, he makes up in
an abnormal business activity. In fact,
his most admiring friends say that he
! is ''strictly business" The first mani
festation of his winning ways was ex-
hibited in an attempt to knock out the
new electric railway, which has proved
to be such boon to this city and to our
people. There is no doubt that, through
his interested activity, he precipitated
run on a savings bank in San Francisco
which only failed to be disastrous be-
cause the bank was eminently solvent.
1t is said that he received $1,000 for this
service from Hon. j. F. Crank, the re-
ceiver OF the cable railway. We incline
to believe that this is slander ON both
of these gentlemen ;-on Mr.. Crank, be-
cause we do not believe that he is foolish
enough to pay out good money for bad
service, on Colonel Woodland, alias
"Jayhawker," because we hope he is
too virtuous to receive pay for his dis
interested efforts.
When it comes to the future water
system of Los Angeles, however, it be-
hooves the people of Los Angeles to be
up and doing. "Yours truly" sounds
too much like the ''chops and tomatoe
sauce" of Mr.. Pickwick's immortal let
ter to Mrs. Bardell. "Yours truly" or
Truly yours" is very ingratiatlng
form of address; but when it comes to
the water question of Los Angeles for
many yearH to come the proposition is a
grave one, and must not be jobbed
through the council. The taxpayers
and property owners must have some
thing to say to it, and they must be
permitted to act deliberately, and with
full information. The fact is that the
formation of an energetic and infuen-
tial citizens committee OF about one
hundred persons is very urgently called
for in the present conjuncture.
In very deferential way we would
beg to ask, is Col. J. II. Woodard, alias
"Jayhawker," the somewhat well
known "Jayhawker" that once figured
in Cincinnati?
