Exit stanley.

Henry M. Stanley has had as lively
a time In his race for Parliament as
he ever had in forcing his unwelcome
way across African territory against
the vigorous protests of natives who
naturally objected to his lawless in
vasion of their homes. Many of the
electors Of North Lambeth clearly
did not like him or his pretensions,
and when speaking he was often in
terrupted with such questions as:
"How many niggers did you kill in
Africa?" "Who hired you to conduct
your marauding expeditions against
innocent people, and for what pur-
pose?" "Who killed King Coffee?"
where are you from, anyway" etc.
In his political venture Stanley has
all along seemed aware Of the fate in
store for him. Boys daily roared
after his carriage and yelled after
him. The workingmen of Lambeth
have shown him little consideration,
and have exhibited an embarrassing
familiarity with his exploits in
Africa, where, according to his books,
he INDUCED in a very large amount OF
promiscuous shooting of inoffensive
ringers" appropriate enough, no
doubt, to his character of traveller
and explorer, but hardly in keeping
with his attitude before the radical
electors of Lambeth as human
tartan who has conferred the bless.
ings of civilization upon the dark con-
tinent. With a Bible in one hand
and Winchester rifle in the other,
his self-recorded piety and heroism in
wiping out "niggers" and their homes
have clearly not made favorable inn
preston upon the workingmen Of
Lambeth.
Stanley posing as an aristocrat and
attempting to break into Parliament
is one of the absurdities of the politi-
Cal world. That he should be de.
feated is perfectly natural

dimensions prescribed by steamer
regulation. The edges are made
waterproof by an excellent layer Of
rubber filing. The top and bottom
of the trunk have a round opening,
which is closed by means Of slides
easily removed in time Of danger.
Otherwise the trunk is arranged in
the usual way for holding the ward
robe and valuables of the tourist. In
time Of shipwreck it can in less than
a minute, be converted into excel
lent lifeboat which braves even a
heavy sea. In that case the trunk Is
opened, the inside tray removed and
the contents which it is necessary to
save squeezed into the side compart-
ments or the trunk. A caoutchouc
covering folded around the bottom
ring is drawn up and passed into the
slide around the top circle. Thus
the trunk becomes perfectly water
proof. The person then steps with

this sort; he had no animosities, but
neither had he any sympathles, so he

ADJUSTMENTS. A

The Bostonians played Fatinitza last
evening to as numerous an audience as
could get into the Los Angeles theater.
Caroline Hamilton made her first ap-
pearance here, and was given warm
welcome. She sang sweetly, and scored
a genuine success as Princess Lydia.
Edwin Hoff is an ideal tenor. He is
manly in appearance, unaffected in
action, and has voice robust in the
lower register, clear and true in the
upper, and warmly expressive. He por-
trayed Julian Hardy, the newspaper
man, as a gay, resourceful, able young
| fellow,a and sang not like the typical
| Italian tenor, but like manly man..
| The feature of Fatiastza, however, is
always Jessie Barts9tt Davis, for in the
title role she is descrlbable by but one
word, she is simply and completely de-
licious.
Lack of space will not permit de-
tailed mention of the many excellences
of the performance, of the work of
Cowles as the General Kantchukoff, of
Barnabee as the pasha, of rockingham
as the sergeant, and of all the other
excellent members of this excellent
company.
This afternoon a matinee of Robin
Hood will be given in which Jessie Bart
lett Davis will sing, and the cast will in
all particulars be as strong as on Mon
day night. Robin Hood will also be
given this evening.

Cleveland Baking Powder Company:
DEAR SIRs: You are correctly in
formed. Cleveland's baking powder ii
in steady use in my kitchen.
After long and careful trial of others, ]
prefer Cleveland's baking powder fol
several reasons that seem to me good
and sufficient.
Clevelsnd's is pure cream of tartar
and soda mixture, not containing alum
or ammonia or any other substance
deleterious to the human stomach.
Cakes, mullins, biscuits, etc., in which
Cleveland's baking powder is used, keep
better. They do not crumble into saw
dusty consistency or harden into finti-
ness as they do when raised by other
powders that l have tried. A like
quantity of Cleveland's baking powder
goes further and does better work than
any other of which 1 have knowledge.
1t is therefore cheaper.
am thus frank in giving the causes
OF my "cbange OF base" upon an i'm.
portant question because l have been
annoyed by comments upon what is
surely my affair and that of no other
person or parties, and I am not averse
TO settling this matter, once for all.
On this account you are at liberty to
make whatever use you like of this
statement. MARION HARLAND.
