Broadway gowns and millinery are
worth going miles to see. Broadway
women are worth travelling the world
round to behold. Who are they, what
are they, why are they here? These are
the queries that come intuitively TO ones
mind. But / know not One-half Of
them at least appear to be honest. Many
are actresses. Many more are unclassi-
fied-not living by their wits, as o large
proportion Of the men Of Broadway do,
but living somehow No matter what
or who they are, they form a passing
show Of beauty. They make up a van

The more you study Broadway beauty,
however. the greater is your admira-

much Of it, is the product Of art. That
the gowns and the millinery are artistic
| have already noted but this is only
half the story. The corset maker, work

that art has lavished her greatest

A case in point. Along Broadway

he was swinging his tomahawk for q

dead on the slope, while q dozen more.

away to secure shelter.
Then the great red sun touched the

into the sterile ground, and twilight
came to make shadows race about
among the dead-dead but hideous-
corpses in the war paint as they lay with
legs drawn up and eyes staring into The

Let me cndeavOr TO give you q picture
Of what this part of Broadway is-hfty
hotels. two hundred restaurants, twenty
theaters. hundred cigar stores, and
don't know how many millinery shops,
lewelry stores, haberdasheries and
drinking saloons. They say there are
many gambling houses, too, but Of this
know nothing from personal observation
Still it would not bo surprising If in this
gay section of Broadway, or near by it,
there were tigers lairs and even worse
places by the score, for everything that
Is sportive. reckless, demoralizing and
pleasure giving thrives here like a green
bay tree.
The people who infest this gay Broad
way appear to have nothing 90 do but TO
spend money. Where all the money
comes from is a mystery to me. To
watch the Broadway crowds spend
money one would never think there
were such things as poverty, want, de-
spair in the world.
Not more than one-half Of these pleas-
ure seeking throngs are New Workers.
In a walk along this thoroughfare yofl
meet men from all parts of the United
States. from all parts of the world
Many are respectable and important
persons at their homes. guests Of the
hotels, in New York on business. Many
are here merely for pleasure.
If there is a spendthrift In this coun-
try yOung idiot who has "come into
money and who is troubled with an itch
for spending it, the chances are you
will find him along Broadway. II p
dissipated youth is missing from home
here is where his anxious parents should
come in search Of him. II there is q

lucky stroke in the poolroons, become
imbued with tho notion that no is a

and women may be found on Broadway
there are certain places at which you
may be sure Of finding certain kinds

The Indian never leaves his dead in

THE CHICAGO FAIR.

The Meeting Yesterday Of the Local
Association.
The executive committee OF the
Southern CaIifornia Worlds Fair asso.
citation held its regular meeting in the
rooms OF the chamber of commerce yes
terday afternoon, with w. @. Kimball
in the chair, and the duties of secretary
were performed by Frank Wiggins.
Other members Of the committee pres
ent were Messrs. Jones, Klokke, Bundy,
Stein, Forester and Crafts. l.. NJ.
Holt Of Rialto presented his credentials
as member from San Bernardino coun-
ty in place of Mr.. Fish, withdrawn, and
q. B. Lloyd represented Kinton Srevens
| as member from Santa Barbara county.
| The finance committee reported aud
| iting bills to the amount OF $95 65, which
were ordered paid.
The committee on art and literature
made lengthy report upon the PAM
phle5 TO be issued by the association.
This report recommends the issuing of
a pamphlet with Is per cent more mat
ter and so per cent more illustrations
than was in the pamphlet recently is
sued by the bureau of information.
They suggest issuing from. $4,000 to
100. 600 of this style of pamphlet, and
that the distribution of the same be
guarded in such manner that only
those desiring them could be readily
supplied. They also suggested issuing
a small folder.
The association authorized the litera.
ry committee to begin work immedi-
ately, and that the expense Of carrying
out the work be prc-rated among the
counties. As it is the intention to in
sert a certain amount of advertising
matter, the committee thought the ma
! jor portion of the expense would be
covered by the advertisements.
The citrus tree committee reported
| satisfactory progress.
The committee on dried fruits, etc. :,
reported the majority OF the display
boxes being packed.
| The committee on mines and mining
| reported successful progress.
The committee on cereals, bee culture,
etc., made satisfactory report.
Mr.. Holt reported to this committee
that San Bernardino county would make
miniature representation of an apiary
made from beeswax.
| Mrs. kimball appeared before the COM
mittee and asked that portion of the
|
allotted to the Southern California asso.
citation, be set aside for women's work.
The committee assured her they would
reserve portion OF the space.
| Mr.. Lloyd of Santa Barbara offered
resolution requesting that the Profits
arising from the citrus fair to be held
next spring be transferred to the worlds
fair association. The resolution was
tabled.
The matter of the painting on the
north wall Of the state building was
brought up; after considerable discus
sion the association declined to assume
the responsibility and expense Of the
undertaking. The ma ter of displays in
the department building was settled by
the association agreeing to make the
exhibit in the agricultural building; the
secretary WAS instructed to write, guar
anteeing to fill $500 square feet. 1t was
decided to abandon the holding Of an
early citrus exhibit in Chicsgo.
Los Angeles herald., 1892-12-08

A still more painful example is that
OF Emile Melville, who married gem
teman in fine social position and of ire
proachable character, by whom she had
two children. But the glare of the foot
lights, the plaudts OF the pit and the
claque OF the gallery, had untitled her
for ANYTHING but the stage. One day
she eloped to Australia with her former
low comedian and went back on the
stage, forsaking husband, children, co.
cial position and everything else. The
comedian died wrctched death, and
she took up with a big and beefy bari
tone. One night at Cape Town, about
three years ago, the curtain was rung
down because she was too ill'' to 60 on
with the performance. And it is in the
hope OF saving artless, innocent girle
from fate like hers that | have written
what | have done. If thia be churlish-
ness, make the most of it.

AFTER THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

Detective will Smith Said to Be After
Them With Dynamite.
1t was stated last night that Detective
Will Smith OF the Southern Pacific COM
pany left recently on chase after Son
tag and Evans, the Coils train robbers.
II is said that he was accompanied by
two other officers and that they took
with them a large quantity OF dyna-
mite. The inference is that they
have clue to the whereabouts OF the
robbers. and that they propose to blow
them out If their hiding place il they
will not come when summoned. The
HERALD's informant said that the party
was to he increased to five at Fresno,
and that their destination was Fresno
Flats.
