ADJUSTMENTS.

The play at the Bijou this week is
"Alone in London" which opened its
engagement yesterday with two per-
formances. As far as the play itself is
concerned, "AlOne in London" Is the
same as it was years ago, though the
scenery has suffered somewhat. The
company is by no means n good one.
The star is William De Shelley. He Is
man of splendid physique, dresses
well and makes rapid changes of APP
parel. He has, also, other excellent
qualities. but he is not pronounced
artist John w. Bankson, as Jenken-
son, thief and philosopher, is the best
actor of the company.
The Pence again has company that
suits its patrons. Louise AuwOod's Big
BurlesQue company returned TO Mime
apOls yesterday, giving better per-
Torrance than on their previous visit,
and easily succeeded in making two
large audiences merry. The OliO is
strong, Will Dennis, the character vO-
caliSt, and Louise Atwood, the pretty
and Shapely actress, making especial
hits. The opening act is a pretty one,
and the happy burlesQue conceit called
"Gal -at-tea," is as full of laughs as an
egg is of meat. Twelve pretty, we'll
formed and nicely dressed ladies render
the choruses, marches, etc, in an at
tractive manner, while Miss Atwood, in
looks and actions,is an ideal Cupid, and
Miss Delta Rosko, raviShing Venus,
and Dick Baker and Eddie Shayne sup
ply the comedy work.
The seat sale opens tomorrow morn
ing for the engagement of CUrinne and
the Kimball Burlesque company, which
takes place at the Grand the last three
nights of this week. The production i'll
which she will be seen is called Gar

ENEMIES IN THE AIR.
Dangerous for Any One to Open
His Mouth.

If our eyes were microscopes, what
world of wonders, and even of terrors
the atmosphere would appear to be!
Even air that is apparently pure con-
tains great number of microscopic
floating particles, says the Youths
Companion. There is dust that
has risen from the ground and been
tranSplanted from afar by the winds
there is powdery matter that has been
elected from the interior of the earth by
volcanoes; there are minute particles
of meteoric matter that came floating
down out of interStellar space, and there
is great variety of living germs and
organisms, some of which produce dis
ease and death.
The Investigations that are going on
concerning the origin of the influenza
now affecting mankind in various quar-
tiers of the globe have led some men of
science to conclude that mIcrO-organ-
ism, or bacillus, of some kind, which
lives and is diffused through the air, is
the cause of this most troublesome dis
ease.
But even bacillus, so small that the
utmost powers Of the microscope are
taxed to render it visible, must have
something to live on or it will perish.
In absolutely pure air it could not
survive. but DR.. Synles Thompson
makes the interesting suggestion that
minute particles Of organic dust float
ing in the air may serve as aItts for it
to live on.
What strange picture this sugges-
ton forms in the Imagination! Parti-
Giles of matter. too small to be dis
cerned with the naked eye, floating
through the atmosphere and bearing,
like microscopic fleet, uncountable
millions of organisms whose combined
attack sufficeS to render a large frac-
ton of the human race miserable.
But knowledge is power, and the
more we learn about our microscopic
enemies III the air the better prepared
are we to resist their assaults. rr

Rev. S. w. Sample Say 1t Is Get
ting Something for Nothing, or
Stealing.
Rev. S. W. Samples subject at the
peoples meeting at the Lyceum last
night was 1.-The Ethics of Gambling"
Into his sermon he wove thoughts on
everyday gambling, business dealing,
politics and religion. He began with
gambling unadorned by any other
name. Gambling is wrong at the out
set, he said, because the gambler ex-
poets to get something for nothing.
The foundation of wealth is production
The gambler pro duces nothing. Many
men work with their brains instead of
hands, yet are none the less producers,
even their productions be not tangible,
because they stimulate others to greater
production. Then the speaker broad
ened his definition of the gambler.
"Whoever," said he, "Seeks to get the
better of his fellow and receive more
than he gives in business transaction,
| is as much of gambler as if he played
cards at Monte Carlo or Baden Baden"
| The Louisiana lottery was referred to
| as the most gigantic gambling concern
| in America, in the commonly accepted
sense of the term. But the man who
| sneaks into the house in the night, with
Undiscovered face and dark lantern,
was said to be not the only kind Of a

thief. The gambler was every whit as
much thief. And the gambler-thlef,
or thief-gambler, is found in business.
''lf were preaching from a worldly
standpoint" said Mr.. Sample, IL would
say to the young man, DO not begilI
gambling on q small scale If You steal
$40, that is theft. If you are wealthy
and steal $1,000 worth of silks from some
store. that is kleptOmania. If You sue
ceed in defrauding your business aSS0-
ciateS of a million or two millions, that
is tinancierlng. If by any possibility
your gains amount to Sl0,0OO,O00. that is
genius. Kill one man and 1t is muir
der. Kill million men, become as
Napoleon, a peStilence, a menace to
mankind, and you will be called. as
Napoleon is, great-great in infamy. III
you must gamble, don't buy q lottery
ticket; don't go TO gambling hell.
Speculate.
What is all the devastation wrought
by the Louisiana lottery compared with
the devastation resulting from Wall
street? No one is compelled to buy
lottery ticket unless he wants to. But
when corner" is created in Wall
street or Chicago and prices are sent
down when men have goods to sell, and
up when they must buy, every man,
woman and child in this country feels
the power of the blood-Sucking gam
bier. And that is called speculation.
Mat is speculation? 1t is gambling,
thieverY, united with lying. When
these men are getting ready to form
corner" they prepare the way for it in
the public mind by invoking the god of
lies. They work with loaded dice, as it
were. We wonder at the reports of
Spanish bull fights. We cannot under
stand how thousands of people press
round the arena where savage animals
fight to the death with men. b ut the
victims OF the bull fight can be counted.
They are only few. Here whole ma
ton gathers around this awful pit of
speculation. and calls it business"
The remainder of the sermon was de-
voted to religion. The churches have
so little influence today because most of
them have been following the footsteps
of generations ago. generations that
dealt in futures" The churches have
been preaching atOnement late in life,
deathbed repentance, etc. That is
dealing in futures in religious way,
and is equally as reprehenSible as the
dealing III futures in business, and IS
fraught with equally deplorable results.

A better trotter than Arion, .2:10%,
would, indeed, be a surprise to the
trotting world, yet that is what Senator
Sanford talks of when he says:
II have number of surprises for the
the trotting world if nothing happens
to them. / lave never had better lot
Of,colts and tillies since L commenced
breeding / was among the first breed
ers to recognize the fact that If you eX:
pect to raise a good horse he must have
great mother. Acting upon this
theory, | have been gradually weed
ing out my brood mares, and
also have been steadily engaged in
raising the standard: My motto in
breeding is upward / never sell a
really great brood mare unless l have
one equally, as good or better to take
her place. That is the secret of how
maintain my stud, Notwithstanding the
inroads of the auction mart and private
sales. Horsemen stood aghaSt when
they learned that had sold Arion, the
greatest trOttlng two-year-old that ever
lived. They did not know what did,
that | have colt as great, if not greater,
in reserve.
"Of large number of FLIES and colts
at Palo Alto L do not believe that there
is one that cannot show a forty gait.
One that | think particularly we'll of is
the two-year-old filly Rowena, by
Azmoor, out of the thoroughbred mare
Robson. This filly got off last summer
in her yearllng form just when | ex-
pected her to capture and hold the
yearling trotting record. She is now
being prepared to lower Monbars' rec
ord of 2:l6 Now AZmo0r is a half
breed. and. as the dam of the filly is
thoroughbred. you can easily figure that
she is three-quarterS running bred, with
only just enough trottlng blood in her
veins to control her gait.
"Then | have in training racing filly
by Palo Alto. dam Elsie, by Benton. out
of Elaine, which is pretty rich breed
ing. This FLY has already trotted an
eighth of a mile in nineteen seconds,
and was lust twelve months old the day
she did the trick. She is going to be
sent for the yearling record, and it will
he strange luck if She does not capture
it,, But am not yet done. l have a
chestnut filly by talo Alto that is not
far behind ROwena, and before the sea-
son closes some star may arise that L
little dream of now, that may pale the
light of those that now promise so much,
as was the case with Arion last sum-
mer.
81 have adopted new system at Palo
Alto since Marvin left. Each driver is
how allotted string, for which he IS
responsible. This will naturally cause
emulation among the men. and Will, L
believe, produce the best of results.
The question has been asked as to
whether the men in their eagernesS to
produce results may not overwork and
injure the colts. My instructions are to
-ceniine the horses in their care to fast
eighths and quarters and to avoid the
point of exhaustion in their work, al
ways returning to the stable with
plenty of reserve speed and life left in
the colt"
