70 years. He was paralyzed several weeks

tribute to him: "In the capacity of super

the most popular officials the county ever
had, and not the least sincere among the
many who will mourn his demise will be
the unfortunate poor who have received
from time to time his uniform kindly care.
He had been for number of years con-
sistent and Jealous member of the Baptist
Church." His remains were inferred in
Edge Hill Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon.
Revs. Shepherd, Broaddus, Hopkins and
Hamill participated in the funeral services.
We had the pleasure of an introduction
to-day to Col. C. W. Medinger, of Balti-

Tho Power Of Beecher's Tongue.

What would Henry Ward Beecher
have been without his tongue? Royal
was he, from the superb eminence of his
domelike head to the very heel that
pressed tho ground. His nature was
surcharged with goodness, with kind
ness, with benevolence, and it sought an
outlet. From his inspired tongue rolled
magnificent sentences for the comfort
and the healing of distressed nation,
an outraged people. Thought of tender
ness toward people in bereavement, in
trouble and in worry found express there.
Scorn lightning flashed across his tongue
when with Indignation he scourged the
scoundrels from tho temple Of justice
and brought national offenders to tho
bar of an inhaned and distorted people.
See him standing in the presence of 10,-
600 yelling, shouting, screaming Brit,
ons, hundreds of them paid to interrupt
and destroy his speech. How like oil
upon the troubled waters did his good
natured, we'll timod words calm the tur-
bulence and win the malice, so that at
the end Kisses and catcalls were trans
formed into cheers of encouragement and
congratulation. on.-Howard in New York

Judge Smith. This is the case referred
to in yesterdays HERALD where . man
named Solomon. it is claimed. got into
the jury room during the trial of Morales
and then went out and offered 10 bet
money that Morales would be convicted.
The ch arge against Morales was that he
had challenged w. ]. Mendoza at San
Gabriel to come out into the back yard
behind Ramon Ochoa's ealoon and fight.
The complaint was drawn by Justice +.
II. Jones. and displays that amount OF
legal knowledge which is sometimes
spoken OF as characteristic OF the ordin-
ary Justice of the peace. After hearing
the presentation of the case Judge Smith
discharged the defendant.
The judgment of the Justice court ct
San Pedro in case against Louis Entner
was reversed by Judge Smith yesterday
and the defendant granted new trial.
He was convicted OF violating the city
ordinances, by allowing dancing in his
saloon without license.
Jennie Laventhal was discharged by
Judge Smith yesterday. She was con-
victed at San Pedro OF the crime OF
"being a common prostitute" This is
one of the elements that makes the
crime OF vagrancy as defined by the
statutes, but is not a statutory crime in
itself. On this. ground the girl was dis
charged by Judge Smith. 1t was Alec
shown that the girl was convicted once
before by Justice Moore. but that he
suspended the sentence in accordance
with the wish of man who took the
girl ont and married her. She was ar
rested second time. however. ana in
stead OF drawing q new complaint the
erudite justice brought the new pro-
ceedings under the old complaint and
convicted her again. The pirl was sent
up to the county jail under this state of
aifairs. After thsee facts were shown to
Judge Smith he did not hesitate long
before Diminishing the defendant from
custody.

WAS joyful or sad, the other felt the
same sensations. Thus, while Louis,
who was in Paris, to save a woman's
honor fought a duel and died,
his apirit appeared to Fabien in
far away Cor.ica and told him all.
The Corsican vendetta must be obeyed
and Fabien avenges his brothers mur-
der. Louis again appears and bids him
join him in the spirit world. While a
great deal of the misery OF love is shown,
none of it's brightness appears; the play
never descends 70 the commonplace.
Mr.. Mantell sustains both characters,
Fabien and Louis. As the melancholy
Louis he is in strong contrast with the
laughter-loving Fabien. The change in
characters is 80 decisive that the illusion

The coming month. September, is

Water, as natural consequence, for

of time between rainy seasons, scarce.
Why is it 80? No good or plausible rea-

France during the age made vivid and
real to us in the dramatic work of the
younger Dumas. whose influence is
clearly seen in the action and lines
of Monbars. The elegant man
ners, the courtly dress, and
the swift vicissitudes OF for
tune that mark the tales and plays of
Alexander Dumas, chsracterizes this
moving drama. A noble and generous
man, who loves and marries above his
rank, finds too late that his wife has
sacrificed herself to him in order to save
her father from ruin. Jealousy and
outraged affection are made available to
destroy the happiness of the married
who win profit by the ulti,
mate death Of the husband. This
plotter becomes poisoner; but he is
foiled, and the dying man is brought
back to life, love and hope. This is q
brief plot of Monbars, play whose in
tenseness is relieved by refined comedy
and not by mere comicalities. Many of
the scenes are very strong. one in which
Monbars discovers the treachery of his
foster-brother and thereafter fights a
duel with him being the famous climax
of the drama. Mr.. Mantell is quietly
effective in the pait of Robert Mon bars !;
his indication of reserved power, his ele-
CANT person and sympathetic voice. give
a charm to the character that is hardly
definable. A note of pathos in his vocal
tone, slight suggestion Of a coming

that it is difficult to resist.
The story of The Corsicau Brothers is
founded upon the supposed intimate
blending of the inner lives OF Fabian
and Louis Del Frsnchi, twin brothers of
Cor sica, rho at birth were united in a
similar manner to that of the Siamese
twins, but were separated by a surgical
operation. Their thoughts, feelings,

At the Los Angeles theater Robert
Mantell will appear this week, giving
The Face in the Moonlight on Monday,
Monbars on Tuesday, Coraican Brothers
on Wednesday and Hamlet on Friday.
On Monday evening will be presented
The Face in the Moonlight. 1t is from
the pen of Charles Osborne, and
deals with those stirring times
in France just before the battle of
Waterloo when the emperor and the
future st. Helena exile were pitted
againut each other in every city and
town, and suspicion and spying were
the qualities for success. The story
is an interesting one, and of absorbing
interest. A murder is committed at
diligence office, and young wo-
man who is an involuntary witness of
the affair, sees in the moonlight the face
OF the murderer, which closely resem-
bes that of ber affianced husband-so
closely that she cannot rid herself
OF the idea that they are one
and the came. The murderer is
in reality the haif-brother of her lover,
and the resemblance between them
very marked. In The Face in the Moon
light Mr.. Mantell takes a dual charac-
ter, impersonating the two brothers, one
u gallant soldier. the other criminal.
This difficult task he performs well, and
his versatility deserves much credit. He
draws the line sharply between the two
characters, and does specially we'll in
the role of Rabat, the criminal. He
represents him as braggart, man
without heart or kindness, profoundly
selfish. and putting love of drink even
above desire fer vengeance. full of hlns-
ter and animal courage, ready to
deceive friends, if necessary, to |
cid himself, SHINING when in difficulties.

Water From the Jordan River

OF all strange articles that pass
through the U. S. Custom Houses from
time to time perhaps none has, of late
years, attracted SO much attention as
seven barrels of water from the bap-
tismal pool of the Jordan River. This
remarkable shipment was consigned by
United States Consul at Jerusalem to
the Jerusalem and the Crucifixion
Panorama, on Wabash Avenue, Chica-
go where it has just been delivered.
Eight large casks were started by
camel train overland from the Jordan
to Joppa, the Joppa of Bible day, but
one camel with its burden was lost by
falling over rocky precipice, SO but
seven barrels reached their destination
The announcement of the arrival of
this shipment by the New York and
Chicago papers brought scores of people
to the great Panorama, all anxious to
porcure some of this remarkable LIQUID:
some wanted it for healing purposes,
some as souvenirs, others for baptismal
ceremonies. Mr.. Gross, the manager
OF this remarkable and enterprising
religious exhibition, said the idea of
the importation was to present at stated
time small bottles of this water to visi-
tors to this magnificent, religious
Exhibition, which comprises not only
the panorama of Jerusalem and the
Crucifixion, but also the world famous
painting, "Christ's Triumphal Entry
Into jerusalem"

Camped on the Other Side.

From the address of Commander
Weisart to the Boys in Blue at the late
encampment held in Indianapolis, we
make the following extract, which all
should read and file away among the
things too eloquent and true to be lost :;
ut was said years ago at our annual
ccnvocation that regiment of our
comrades had, during the year then
closed, moved to the other side of life 5
river. Some years later it was brig.
ade, and at a later gathering a full di-
vision was said to have passed away
during the previous year: and now,
comrades, it is left for me to report to
you that since we held our last encamp-
ment, an entire army corps, with its
full complement of generals, has re-
ceived its final marching orders from
the Great Commander, struck tents
and reinforced our comrades of the
right wing who had previously ad-
vanced and gone into camp in the end
less beyond, from which there will come
to us no sconts, no couriers and no aids
with orders, until we, as individuals,
are commanded to move forward and
take position in their column on the
eternal heights beyond. And when
the last bell of the watch shall mingle
its music with the reveille, calling our
naval heroes to meet their comrades of
the Grand Army, they will appear for
the final muster, to be
"All ready for inspection in the morning.
