IL is not easy to estimate what proper

that two-thirds OF the men are married
and that the average of children is three
to every family. Five children is usual

man and wife who are childless will both
work in the mill. Where there are child

having her hands full with the household

exception, live in tenements ofthcir own,

are known as the Riverside houses. Aside

OF board and lodging is invariably s4.0O a

Kerns VS.. white,

EDITORS HERALD: A short time since
| saw in the San Francisco Examiner a
statement that 7. ). Kerns (Populist) of
Los Angeles county,, and member of
the present legislature from said county,
was under no obligations to vote for
Stephen M. White for United States
senator. 1t may be true that Mr.. Kerns
is under no obligations, either expressed
or implied, to the Examiner, but am
here to say most emphatically that he
is to his constituency pledged and prom.
ised from every Democratic rostrum
upon which he appeared to cast his vote
for 'sour Steve" for United States senator
in the event of his election. As Demo-
Gratis we claim we elected him (Kerns),
and as Democrats we shall hold him res
poneible to the full performance and
execution of those pledges and promises.
The Democrats, at least, an1 the people
generally of this county, have an eye
directed to the faithful performance oi
those promises so cheerfully volunteered,
and should they fail to materialize,
hereafter politically there will be some
blood upon the moon. know whereof
speak, having made, in company with
Mr.. Kerns, the campaign. Respectfully
submitted, in. BREWER,

THE THEATICAL SITUATION.

Manager Wyatt Executes Fine Stroke
of Business.
For some days past rumors of an i'm.
portant change in the theatrical situa-
ton in this city have been current,
which were to the effect that Manager
Wyatt of the Los Angeles theater had
secured the Frohman-Hayman series of
attractions for that house for term of
years. Mr.. Wyatt was questioned about
it yesterday and at first attempted to
evade admitting the fact, but when
shown by the reporter that the informa-
tion came from reliable source stated
that the report was correct, contract
having been made with Messrs. Froh-
man and Hayman to have all their own
companies and all the companies man
aged by their agency under the charge
of Mr.. Julius Cohn play at the Los An
geles theater. More than that, Mr..
Wyatt stated that he had closed con-
tract with Manager Stockwell of San
Francisco to play all his bookings for
two years.
To great extent the Frohman-
Hayman agency has monopoly of the
booking of all travelling companies, and
the results of the contracts can be
judged. 1t was stared at the time that
Mr.. Perry the owner of the theater
secured Mr.. Wyatt's services that the
selection could not have been improved
upon, and the results show the state
ment to be correct.
Mr.. Perry is constantly improving his
beautiful house and when the further
alterations he will make are completed,
it will be perfect theater in all particu-
lars.

His End Was Sudden and without APP
Fl parent Pain,
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-Gen. Benja-
min F. Butler, whose sudden death early
this morning caused shock of sur
prise, was about the capitol yesterday as
usual. In going about he took a cold
and coughed some during the afternoon,
but appeared cheerful as usual. He ate
his supper and retired at about II
O'Clock. An hour later his body servant
was awakened by his coughing and went
to him, finding that he had gone to the
bathroom. Butler said he coughed up
mucous, mingled with blood. He
seemed to think nothing OF it,,
however, and retiring again,
dismissed the servant. An hour
later the servant was again aroused by
his heavy breathing, and found Butler
in very bad way. A physician was
sent for, and on arriving at once discov-
cred that the general was at the point of
death from pneumonia. He died almost
at once. His end was apparently pain
less. The certificate Of death says he
died from heart failure, superinduced by
acute pneumonia.
His nieces, Mrs. Dunn and Miss Ste
vens, who kept house for him. were at
his bedside when death came. The in
terment will take place at Lowell, Mass. !,
in the family lot beside the remains Of
his wife and SOD, Benjamin, who died in
1875.
His daughter, Mrs. Ames. wife of ex-
Governor Ames of Massachusetts, and
his son Daniel were notified by tele-
graph and are expected to arrive here as
soon as possible. The date OF the
funeral has not yet been fixed. Butler
was aged 70 years.
