THE ARMY's wHooPuP.
The Salvationists' Chrfstmas Celebr
tion Last Night.

The Salvatfonists' Christmas Celebra-
tion Last Night.
The storm had we'll cleared away by
sundown last evening, and many ven
tured out to hear the rally shouts of
what Major Ballington Booth once re-
ferred to as "the religion of the people. /"
The trustees of the First Congre gational
church had kindly placed that large
auditorium at the service of the army
and long before o'clock it was plainly
to be seen that the audience was going
to be large enough to fill every seat
There were delegations from every
neighboring city and village for so miles
around. OF these many came from
towns and villages that were yet too
small to boast Salvation corps. They
were men and women following almost
every vocation, but who had formerly
resided within the barracks. Most Of
them were past the meridian OF life, but
it was noticeable that they kept we'll in
the background.
Adjutant Kernochan was the pre-
siding officer and master of ceremonies.
He is slender. well proportioned man
of about SO years of age, with dark
hair and regular features. His manner
was magnetic one and careful OBJ
server would not be long in determining
how he acquired his leadership. About
80 people-50 men and 80 women-were
seated on the stage, while probably $50
more were distributed throughout the
immense auditorium. The Instruments
were one violin, three mandolins and
four guitars.
Some Of the remarks were as original
as they were novel. Adjutant Kerno-
chan told of the rebuffs received by the
Salvation army in its earlier days in this
state and of his first experiences in the
ranks.
One of the army's hymns was then
given. There were several very high
sopranos among the women and four or
five big rearing bassos among the men.
Before they were aware of it, more than
half the ladies in the congregation had
joined in the familiar refrains and were
singing their very best. The refrain,
There's Sunlight in My Soul, was given
with wave OF the handkerchief from
all the army lads and lasses present and
Kernochan shouted, "Swing your hand
kerchiefs Pull 'em out and don't be
afraid OF it. Suppose they do need
washin'. A. dirty handkerchief went
CouHI you lave Aali'Way Ciean soui.
And there was young fellow from
Santa Ana who made some remarks.
He said that when he first Joined the
army, people used to make fun of his
voice. "But refused to be discour-
aged in the work had taken up" said
he. 81 told them that the Bible was the
word of God, and asked them if that
was the case, what difference did it
make whether they got it through fog
horn or speaking trumpetw
1t was we'll past O'Clock when the
assembly dispersed.

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
Some Developments Expected to Occui

Some Developments Expected to Occur
Today.
Last night HERALD reporter had
conversation with prominent Demo-
crat who is in a position to know what
is going on at present in regard to the
local situation.
'There is nothing new to chronicle to-
night" he remarked. Nothing is any
more settled than it was Yesterday, and
as far as any names are concerned it
would be but useless to enumerate any,
because the list would probably not be
at all like what it will be tomorrow"
'In fact" he continued. "there is
nothing definite. What the Republicans
may have settled upon I am not in a
position to know, but as far as our eide
is concerned. there will be no develop.
ments until tomorrow. Tomorrow
night will be able to tell you some
thing, but you must possess your soul
in patience until that time"
Upon being asked what there was new
in the matter of the appointment of fire
commissioners, the gentleman said it
could not be settled until today, when
the various consultations going on
would probably result in pretty good
idea as to who will be appointed.

REDONDO'S ATTRACTIONS.
Eastern People Delighted with the Big
Hotel.

Hotel.
Eastern visitors now stopping at the
Redondo hotel declare that they fin
language too poor to furnish words with
which to express their delight at their
surroundings. One lady from New
York declared that even after all she
had heard of the winter climate of
Southern California she was totally un-
prepared to find such balmy, spring
like days as those we are now ex-
periencing by the seaside. The
recent rains have frightened up
theGface of nature, and Redondo
beach, so famous for its floral wealth, is
taking on the habiliments of spring, and
will soon be in the full glory of it's ver-
dure. The public grounds of the hotel,
which already comprised several acres,
are being extended, ground having al
ready been broken for a greatly enlarged
area of park. All the departments of
the hotel proper are under the super
vision OF experienced heads, and the
management is more perfect than ever.
There is probably no tourists resort on
the coast having greater attractions
than that at Redondo beach, and Wis
itors to this part of the state should not
leave before partaking of the hospitality
of this model hotel. Reached from Los
Angeles via the Redondo railway and
the Redondo branch of the Santa Fe
railroad.

CATARRH.

Catarrh is often regarded by the patient as
cold in the head, and he often expresses his
aslonishment at his remarkable tendency to
contract a fresh cold. Indeed, he declares he
is scarcely free from one cold before he takes
another: and he is always exceedingly careful.
1t is also matter of surprise TO him that the
cold always seems TO settle in the head ard
throat.
At times many of the symptoms of catarrh
may seem to abate, and the patient is led to
hope that the disease is about to wear off;
but another class of symptoms soon appear,
and he learns to his. horror that instead of
recovery from the disease it is changed in
its character snd extended to the throat

Women and Music.

1t might have been thought that if
practice gives perfection woman would
have excelled her male counterpart not
only as an executant, but as a composer
of music. But what are the facts? In
an instrumental performance she cannot
for moment compare with him, while
as to composition she is nowhere. The
repertory of music from the dawn of
the art to the present day owes simply
nothing to her. Considering the time
she has spent over it, her failure to evolve
new harmonies, or even new melodies,
is one of the most extraordinary enig-
mas in the history of the fine arts.
Where, in ancient times or in modern,
can woman, with all her practice, be
found to have created one chef d'euvre
in music? The inference implied by the
negative answer to such a question
seems simply this, That in the higher
efforts of mind--even in those where the
admixture of an emotional element, as
in music, might be supposed to give her
the advantage-woman is inferior to
her male counterpart, and cannot by
any educational forcing system be made
TO equal him, deficient as she is in the
physiological conditions of ideoplastic
power.-London Lancet.

Italian Iiliteracy.

The population i'll 1861, including

100000. In 1889 it was so, 946, 317, and
in the last fifteen years the country
has thrown off LOGS, t3G emigrants.
When it is remembered how fright
fully high the Italian rates of NOR
tality are, it will be admitted that
this is very fair increase of popula-
ton. Italy, which used to be one of
the most ignorant countries in the
world, has made progress in this re-
spect, and now stands far above Rus
sia and Poland, and close behind
Hungary. In 1866, among the levy

He Liked Bread,

The poet Shelley was very simple
i'll his tastes and found his chief
pleasure in long, solitary rambles.
Bread became his chief sustenance,
when his regimen attained to that
austerity which afterward distin-
guished it. He could have lived on
bread alone without repining.
do you know" he said one day to
a friend, with much surprise, that
Mr.. G. does not like bread2 Did
you ever know a person who dis
liked breadT His friend explained
to him that Mr.. G. probably had
no objection to bread in moderate
quantity, at proper time and with
the usual adjuncts, and was only un-
willing to devour several pounds of
dry bread at meal.
Shelley had no such objection; his
pockets were generally well stored
with bread. Sometimes he ate with
his bread the common raisins which
he bought at small grocer's shops -
