THE BoOMERANGERS.


Their Exhibition Yesterday at Athletic
Park.
1t was field day yesterday at Athletic
park grounds. The audience was very
large, and the feats in boomerangthrow--
ing were novel and very interesting.
Every one watched the seemingly plain
missiles with interest. The science of
whirling a plain crooked stick several
hundred feet, and having it return to
the thrower was puzzler to the entire
audience yesterday, and none were able
to solve the phenomenon. Boomerangs
were sailing all around the field, as swal-
lows after rain; yet the black men did
but little walking to gain possession of
their weapons, which they had cast
away as carelessly as little boys throw
ing pebbles. King Bill. whom it is said
was banished from his tribe for having
abducted a chieftain's daughter and
feasted from her body, attracted great
deal of attention for his accuracy in
throwing on level, as though throwing
for game or for man. His boomerang
would 60 for rs yards on line about
two feet from the ground, and then tax
ing sudden shoot would dart into the
air to aheight of nearly 200 feet and
finally return to the thrower.
There will be special novel features
introduced in the exhibition this after
noon. The native war dance is full of
interest, and more realistically barbarous
than any description could convey to
the mind.
This will be the last performance In
this city, as Mr.. Cunningham will rake
his savage troupe to the east.

Supreme Justices.

EDITORS HERALD: AS an old-line Re-
publican, desire to place myself on
record as favoring the appointment OF
Democrat to fill the vacancy on the
supreme bench, caused by the death of
Judge Sharpstein, Democrat.
am one of those Republicans who
believe sincerely that we will have
better and purer and more impartial
administration OF justice by the highest
court OF the state with four Republicans
and three Democrats on the bench than
we would with five Republicans and
two Democrats, or with six Republicans
and one Democrat. And as to the pro-
posal of greedy partizans to take advan-
tage Of an act of God to convert our
highest court into a unanimous Repub-
lican body, it would be, in my opinion,
an intolerable scandal. Reverse the
situation, and all Republicans would
cry out aloud against such course.
Why, when Republicans are dominant,
should they not be content with the
smallest possible majority, and
for precisely the same rea-
son that they would say that
when the Democrats are in the ascend
ancy, they should be content with
bare majority. The reason for this rule,
in either csse, is that powerful mi
nority tends to check the universal dis
position of majorities to abuse their
power. Many years ago Governor Nor
ton OF Massachusetts, think it was,
said that his majority of one was the
best possible majority man could have.
And he formulated an everlasting truth;
for the best man and the best party in
the world, ii given unlimited power, is
almost sure to abuse that power.
We ought to have state law that
only four of our seven supreme judges
shall be elected or appointed from one
political party and in counties like
Los Angeles. where there are two or
more superior judges, that only O. bare
majority thereof shall be selected from
one political party. And this rule
should be extended by legal enactment
to all state, county and municipal COM
missions.
Governor Markham now has splen
did opportunity to add luster to his
administration by adopting the spirit of
this rule in the appointment OF Demo
crat to replace Democrat on the su-
preme bench.

Queen vlctoria's Cows

Not gentleman farmer in England
is fonder of taking prizes at county fairs
than is Queen Victoria. Of late years
this has been her majesty's chief source
Of pleasure, and she treasures the med
:la won by her butter and cheese and
toe premiums carried eff by her cattle
above the gorgeous tributes Of her esst-
trn subjects or her German royal rela-
iiona, When she is at Ralmoral not a
day passes that she does not personally
il trect the home fsrm, ss it is called,
frd row ard then advise IS to the but
ter and cheese making, in which she is
especially interested. Her dairies are
almost Dutch in their exquisite cleanli-
ness, the box stalls being tiled in blre
and white china, and the milking done
t,v maids.
1t ia said that the produce of these
model farms is sold in London, and that
her thrifty majesty turns many an hon
est penny in this way. Well, if she
does, what matter? 1t adds to the in
terest of farming no doubt to make it
profitable, and che is to be congratu-
lated upon her success. At Windsor
herd of American Buffaloes is kept, and
recently an attempt was made to croas
them with some Scotc hcattle.-Jenness

Cabinet Possibilities.


The Times Democrat of New Orleans
says: Among the many cabinet poesi-
bilities are Don Dickinson and ex-Con-
gresham H. L, Muldrow. One is from
the lake country and the other from
near the mouth of the Mississippi One
was postmaster general during Cleve-
lands first term, and the other was in
effect secretary OF the interior, since he
was assistant secretary, and Secretary
Lamar was not able to devote very
close attention to the department.
Muldfow had q very fong experience in
congress before that, and was one of the
principal movers of the agricultural
legislation which led to the formation
OF new department.. Both of these
able Democrats have had the expert
epce which a new administration gem
orally has great deal of trouble in
fuding for cabinet positions. Both have
demonstrated the energetic efficiency in
detail which belongs to executive cue
cess. Here in the middle west we can
discuss these two men without incur
ring suspicion of local partiality. Mr..
Cleveland knows them SO well that
nothing which could be said would en-
tighten him. The central west would
approve the selection OF such tried pub.
lie servants. Our Democrats wish to
see the strongest cabinet that can be
brought together, and whether any of
its members are from this particular
section or not is matter of less i'm
portance.

An Invitation to the President-E to

Come over, dear Grover,
And revel in clover
And have a good time in our "wild. woody
vest"
O.we've plenty of shooting
And excellent "rooting"
For ras0r-back porcines-as good as the best.
Ahead of "Hog island"
And then we've our highland,
Where grizzlies and lions and wildcats are
found;
And then we've our lowlands
Beneath our white snowlands,
Where all the fair ffuits of Pomona abound.
To beat all creation
g our sole O o:cupation:
We've "climate" as good as the best, at the
least,
That acts like tonic,
And names as euphonic
AS those that you love in the land of the east.
Here meath the south sky land
We've 'Rattlesnake island"
And "Deadmsn's" and many another resort,
With names quite suggestive,
Where those would BIZ festive
And free from "dull care'' may have excellent
sport
We've slough" we call "Nigger,"
Where you can pull trigger
And slaughter the web footed fowls you love
The ducks a Id their cousins,
BY SKIES and dozens
o, we've plenty of sport in the wild, woody

We've trees you might lop off
And not see the top of,
And air with m re ''ozone'' than ewes was seen !;
We have oceans of flowers,
And rose tangled bowers,
And 'belp' all nbroidered in gold and In
green.
We have old crumbling missi ons,
Likewise politicians,
All hoary and smitteu with hopeless decay;
They have reaped of their sowing,
Are gone, or are going,
Decrepit and dying, all passing away.
We have "bays" where the 'Buzzards"
Fear never the billiards.
And as ior the seekers of office, per Sc,
Well choke 'em and bang 'em,
Or drown 'em or hang 'em,
And "quarter add draw" If they don'tlet you be.
Yes, Grover, come over,
And be bold rover,
As festive and free as in days of your youth;

And don't you forget you to bring Baby Ruth" !"

Cazotte's Prophecy.


EDITORS HERALD; Your report this
morning OF Professor Buchanan's lecture
at Illinois hall, Thursday evening last,
says the professor gave as striking ex-
ample of prophecy in modern times the
wonderful prophecy of Gazette, reveal
ing the fate OF the imminent victims ef
the French revolution.
r take it this is the same prophecy
Dumas, in one of his Marie Antoinette
romances, puts in the mouth of the
Baron Zanonne, otherwise Count Cagli-
ostro, otherwise Joseph Balsamo. Its
source appears to be in jeu d'eeprit
written by La Harpe, who therein
makes Gazette utter the famous pro-
phecy.
We were told that Jacques Gazette,
who died in 1899, and was AN out and
out romancer, in small way, did in
deed claim the power of prophecy, but
not that he uttered this particular one,
except through the medium of La
Harpe's fancy.
Professor Buchanan may have exact
and reliable information which estab-
fishes the genuineness of the prophecy.
1t would be news to many, do not
doubt, and hope he will be pleased to
impart it as matter Of general interest.
Respectfully,
III. @. WHITEHEAD.

Frank Frost, who is here managing
the Ta-ra-ra Boomerangers, as he calls
them, has had a varied experience.
Some ten years ago he controlled every
theater in India, China and Ceylon. He
taught the Maharajahs how to play
California Jack and faro and made
money SO fast-out of his theaters--
that he had to devise some means of
spending it, and he struck the best pos
sible one-a grand opera company,
headed by Emily Melville. So great
was the success of his scheme for getting
rid of his surplus that he came back to
this country and went into the show
business, and everybody that knows him
will be glad to learn that he is recoup-
ing himself rapidly.
Mr.. Frost heard Mrs. Besant lecture

Mr.. Charles Dickson is an example of
what perseverance and certain amount
OF pachydermatous quality will do for
an actor. A year ago he was damned
either outright or with faint praise by
all discerning critics. He jumped from
leading juvenile in stock company to
a star comedians standing. No wonder
that he tottered after making the leap,
and if he had been faint-hearted the
opinions OF men who know whereof they
write would have pushed him back to
his starting place. But he knew he had
talent, and everybody else knew that he
possessed large amounts of gall. To-
gether they win, divided they fall. Mr..
Dickson, even in rs bad play as Inccg
has succeeded, and his right to be
classed with Nat Goodwin or Roland
Reed cannot be questioned.

A cheap place of amusement is to be
created at the Pavilion, it is said. This
will prove q mint in it's returns il it is
managed rightly. 1t is often trying to
theater-goers' patience, as we'll as their
pocketbooks, to pay $1.5O or 81 to see
company in Los Angeles which lie glad
to play at 10, 25 and 35 cents in eastern
cities. People who are fond of and ap-
preciate good performances by artists of
merit have no objection to the payment
of liberal or even high prices, but for
mediocre performances mediocre admis-
sion fees should prevail.
The management of such company,
for example, as Peck's Bad Boy, the
production of which was even worse
than the pictures on the posters. and
that is saying something very severe,
has no moral right to charge more than
q dime. But what's the use of talking
about moral rights about such a play
1t has no rights-not even right to
exist.
