in such cases, and always keep 1t

Los ANGELES THEATER-In the Soudan
you meet old friends of your youthful
days, when you played hooky, and with
a bag of peanuts eat with the gods,
in fact, was divinity yourself, and
felt a virtuous pleasure in seeing crafty
wickedness checked at every scene by
innocence and right, and the last'a1t a
triumphant apotheosis of nature. The
friends are eucn reminiscent phrases of
these days, as "Unhand me william ="
"Give me me chuild!" Wicked man,
defy you do your worst !" "Oh, Heaven,
where ehall l turn for succor?'' 'tThe
time w-i-i-i-l-l come when you will hear
ma !" and they are literally sprinkled
through the Soudan. In brief, the
Soudsn is healthy old style
English melodrama, with bit
of Egypt thrown in and some
lively fighting on the desert. The scenic
effects are excellent, and the acting 10
OF sufficient excellence TO fully carry out
the desired result. Everything is pre-.
eented with a care and attention that is
most praiseworthy. At times the cold
est-blooded spectator must experience a
thrill, so exciting and rapid are the in
c:dentP. The battle fcene ia the fourth
act is most decidedly iull of action. The
musketrv fire is continuous, and all the
concomitants of smart skirmieh are
present.
The play is to be generally commended
and will be enjoyed by all who like q
we'll presented melodrama.
The Sopdan will be given through the
week, with Saturday matinee.

The Examiners enumeration of the
fortune left by Senator Stanford GER
tainly prevents more attractive ex-
hbit OF the affairs of that gentleman's
estate than Was generally entertained at
the time of his sepulture, and for our
past we are glad OF it. Not all the
adulatiop,and that OF very coarse kind,
OF which the deceased was the bene-
fc'ary (?) can disguise or overslaugh
the fact that the at one time powerful
railway magnate was q man of kindly
impulses. He carried few animoeities
and was loyal in all friendships. So
diligently was the ceneer swung before
him that he was excussble in forgetting,
at times, that he was, after all, but clay
-of the earth earthly, and quite in need
Of that kindly line of the Latins, 'of
the dead say nothing unless good" !"
Probably most people who read
the ample exhibit of che dead
senator's effects. will be glad to know
that they are so surprisingly and su-
perlstive,y large, and that on account
of Mre. Stanford. There was something
very poignant in her exclamation, few
days after the funeral, in which she
eaid, "When Governor Stanford died
supposed that he left me very rich
woman. But now l am afraid that he
''has simply left me legacy OF care,
trouble and worry" Fortunately for
tho Stamford aafato lorua pnrtion of IL
had been dedicated to noble public pur-
poses, and his own career had been 80
exceptionally in the eye of the public
that there was no possibility Of defraud-
ing the late senator, or diminishing his
estate, without an outcry that would
have split the heavens. Consequently,
MrE. Stanford will not have the amount
oi worry to which she looked forward,
nor will the assets OF the dead magnate
shrink in the customary unaceountable
manner.

ROBERT mAcAIRE AND JACQUES srRoP.

Few people who have ever looked
upon the lovely lineaments of "Jay-
hawker" can have forgotten the ele-
CANT and olsaginous ensemblement
OF that charming parsonage. He fig
ured in Los Angeles for quite while, in
both journalistic and pietistic roles,
having been, as we have been led to
believe, not only a convert himself to
the Reverend B. Fay Mills. but having
accomplished the intermediary stages
which led to the conversion by that
evangelist of no less person than Col.
Harrison Gray Otis of the Times.
As general thing. "Jayhswker" does
not travel for his health exclusively.
Consequently, as natural sequence of
his residence in our midst, he began to
dig up data which tended to show that
the hold of the water company on its
franchise was very slight indeed. 1t has
been said that one OF the usual Machia'
vellian ways of this accomplished person
was to make braHh attack on some
vested interest, and then to suspend his
onslaught fer cause-in some instances
that we know of this suspensive process
being got under way by the payment of
5000 q month backsheesh to this enter
prising 'moral Agricultural" We
merely tell the story as it was told to us.
Gratiied and emboldened by the re-
ception which his buccaneering efforts
met with hereabouts, "Jayhawker"-or
one banded his methods.
After his failure to wreck the Los An
geles Consolidated Electric Railway
company he concluded that there was
possibly more money in building up
than in pulling down. His intentions
were good in both lines of action-that
is to say, they were good towards
one Woodland of that ilk, and
one "Jayhawker," of happy mem
ory. He finally produced him
self with two elegant gentlemen
from Indianapolis, and they proceeded
to buy out--on paper-the Los Angeles
Water company. lock, stock and barrel.
These personages-the Messrs. Pierce
and Shafer-deslt in tremendous fig
ures-quite of the Mulberry Sellers
G 'gndard. There were millions in it
FIR them if they could make it go
through. Unfortunately for these en-
{. t.prising gentlemen dollar in In
d ara, with her busted banks, is now as
biz as cart wheel, and they are utterly
without ability to come to time.
We do not know which OF these gen.
elenen is the Robert Macsire of the

THE JUSTICES COURTS.
CRIMINAL MATTERS WHICH WERE
CONSIDERED YESTERDAY.
james White and His Dozen Pair OF
Trousers-George oraiE's Pass
Case = Mr.. Liberty's
Watch-Notes.

James White was arraigned in Justice
Austin's court yesterday afternoon upon
charge of burglary.
White is the man who was arrested
Wednesday afternoon while endeavoring
to dispose Of dozen pair OF new trous-
ers.
The police after investigation found
that the goods had been stolen from
from Henry Cline's clothing store on
Main street. White has been seen
hanging round the store frequently Of
late by the bartenders in the adjoining
saloon.
The defendant claimed to Detective
Benson that he bought the clothing from
q man on the street for SIG, but this
rather fimsy story was considerably
queered by the fact that when arrested
White was offering to sell the entire
dozen pair Of trousers for the small sum
of So.
Justice Austin set the preliminary
hearing for Saturday next, with bonds
at $500.
GEORGE cRAIG's CASE.
George Craig was given q preliminary
examination yesterday by Justic Austin.
Craig is charged with forging the
name of Hancock Banning to a number
Of steamboat passes.
Craig entered Mr.. Banning's Office
last June and managed to secure book
of blank passes, which he filed up to
himself, and afterwards disposed OF.
Justice Austin held him to answer to
the superior court and fixed the amount
OF his bonds at $4,000.
MRS. LIBERTY's WATCH.
William Matthews, an ex-pugilist,
pleaded guilty to charge of petty lar
ceny in Justice Austin's court yesterday
afternoon.
Mrs. H. F. Liberty etated that she
had known Matthews for some time.
On Wednesday evening he was visiting
her, and after making remark TO the
effect that the clock in Mrs. Liberty's
apartment was wrong, said that if the
complainant would lend him her watch
for minute be would set the clock.
He was given the watch from the
bureau drawer, and the clock was set.
Soon afterwards Matthews vent out and
Mrs. Liberty discovered that her watch
had also gone. The police were notified
and Detective Goodman arrested Mat
thews, who confessed to pawning the
watch for 81.
Justice Austin committed him to ap-
pear for sentence today.
COMPLAINT AGAINST ARTHUR STEWART.
The grand jury being declared illegal
yesterday by Judge Shaw, the jury's
indictment against Arthur Stewart, the
defaulting deputy in Street Superin-
tendent Watson's office becomes cores
pondingly worthless.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Watson APP
pesred before Justice Austin and swore
to complaint charging Stewart with
embezzlement.

pleaded guilty yesterday in the justice
court to charge OF petit larceny.

gal yesterday by Judge Shaw, of the
superior court. The effect of the deci-
sion is to stop the proceedings under
the thirteen indictments already found,
and undoubtedly render nueatory the
well meant efforts OF the body. In all
but two OF the cases private citizens
have shown the reverse of alacrity in
availing themselves of the opportunity
to swear to complaints against the in
dicted individuals and proceed in the
usual manner in justice courts by pre-
liminsry examination.
The district attorney has no well.de-
fined hope that complaints will be called
for, and thus the enforcement OF the
laws in q number Of very clear criminal
cases is set at naught, the administra-
ton Of justice is held up to public
derision, and the uselessness Of grand
juries is once more emphasized. 1t is
most singular thing that legal grand
jury cannot be organized in this county.
Holes as big as the Gulf Of California
have been left in each empsnelment of
grand jury for several years past.
until no one regards an indict-
ment as an effective instrument, and
in the minds, of the public the
inquisitorial creature Of the law
is the subject of joculsr contempt. The
present grand jury was in session a
month and half; but, during its brief

the luxury Of being wrought up to
high pitch OF excitement over the run
ming to earth of violators of the law,
only to have their hopes vanish in thin
air. One very pleasant outcome of the
decision by Judge Shaw is the sudden
demise of the present jury, and the re-
moteness of the possibility that another
attempt in this line will be made before
next year.
