about 1879. The rivalry between
Hooley and Haverly at that time
was very great. SchOolcraft has
impersonated many characters in
his career, among which was that
of Uncle Toms Cabin. He went
direct from the minstrel stage to
Russell's comedians.
"AnOther Old-time minstrel now
a member of the same company, is
Ad Ryman, perhaps better known
to old-time minstrel lovers as Sen
ator' Ryman. Ryman has been off
the minstrel stage for some years,
and has played many white face
parts, including that OF the Man
from Montana in the Two Sisters
Denman Thompson's play. He has
been member at different times
of nearly all the best min
strel organizations that ever
travelled. He claims that the de-
cadence of minstrelsy is due
largely to the fact that diamonds
became so high-priced that the ne
gro minstrel could not afford to
buy them; and minstrel man
without his diamond is like a loco
motive without its headlight. Ry-
man enlisted when the war broke
out, and served three years, after
which he joined Dan Bryant's
company. He obtained the name
Senator from the fact that for
years he appeared on the minstrel
stage in the makeup of a well
known senator, and made very
witty stump speech on the politi-
cal issues of the day"

EUROPE A MILIYARY CAMP.

The people OF Europe, whose substance
is being consumed by the immense
armaments maintained by land and sea,
have the sad satisfaction of knowing
that their rulers are gratifying their
pride by directing such reviews OF
masses of troops as have never been
witnessed before in times of peace.
The emperor William and the prince of
Naples, after having paraded before the
troops at Euren, proceeded to Metz,
where one OF the most extensive mill
tsry displays ever seen in front Of that
historical stronghold was to be held.
The emperor of Austria has gone to
Ischia, where he will attend the manpu-
vers OF that part of his immense army
camped in Hungary. The Russian feet
is about to pay visit to France, where
it will be received with open arms.
All this display of "the pomp and cir
cumstance of war" may be very gratify-
ing to the vanity OF the crowned heads,
but how is it with the great mass of the
people who have to scrimp and starve in
order that the bills may de paid? The
fact is that these immense armaments

SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKERS.

Procee dIngs of tho Worlds Convention
at st. Louis.
ST.. LOUIS, Sept. AT the second
session of the worlds Sunday school
convention this morning, the repr esen-
tatives of IS3, 800 Sunday schools, 1885,
$50 teachers and 17,7l6,2l2 scholars
were present. The retiring president,
Mr.. Hslsey, delivered an address trac-
ing the results of the worlds convention
OF 1889. Among other things he praised
the American system of organization
which has been largely adopted now by
the English Sunday school workers.
A letter OF regret from Lord and Lady
Aberdeen WAS read and addresses by g
number of foreign delegates on
Sunday school work in Europe
were listened to. The nominating COM
mittee decided to report the name OF
b. F. Jacoba, of Illinois, for president,
despite his reluctance to accept. Jacobs
was brought forward and received tre-
mendous ovation, being elected to the
presidency by unanimous vote. as
were also the other nominees. Among
the other nominees are: Vice-presi-
dent, F. F. Kelsey, London; recording
secretary. Marion Lawrence, Ohio en-
rolling secretary, S. E. Gill. Pennsyl'
vania Statistical secretary, K. Payson
Porter, New York.
Greetings were cabled the Sunday
school conventions in session today IN
Glasgow and Hamburg. AT the alter,
noon session many addresses were heard
on the work of organization.

are constant menace to the peace OF
Europe. The very excuse the nations
offer for increasing their military
strength are incentives to war.
There must come time when the
burden will Ibe too great to sup
port, and as :that time approaches the
reasons for going to war will become
more imperative. As it is, the slightest
spark may ignite flame that will turn
Europe into actively hostile camps.
Emperor William is constantly proclaim
ing that he is strengthening his mill
tary arm for the purpose of preserving
peace; but his acts and his words mean
very different things. He is possessed
ofthe military rage, and having the mate
rial at his command to crafty his desire,
he will practically encourage, whenever
the opportunity offers, rupture with
France. AS this seems to be the newt
able perhaps it would be better in the
long run that actual war should break
out now than that the people should be
exhausted in trying to maintain arma-
ments 80 colossal as to enforce upon
them a condition which is but little less
crushing than war itself.
All the reasons for great war exist.
Hereditary hates and mutual injuries
are brooding in the hearts OF antagonistic
nations. Out of these conditions there
is no reason why casus beM may not
show itself at any moment. The hol-
low truce that is now maintained by
dissimulation cannot last long. and we
shall not be astonished to wake up any
morning and find that the European
powers have cried "Havoc. and let slip
the dogs OF war;"

No DOUBT the departure yesterday OF
the chamber of commerce party for the
white city made quite a hole in the
population OF Los Angeles bnt yet after
the train had gone with it's great load o.
pilgrims our streets presented no
striking appearance OF the city having
been badly depopuiatsd. One was en-
abled to realizs, by the great numbers
that didu't go. how many are left. No
doubt, as the "boys" gathered togethe er
on the poop decks OF the cars last even
ing to ewap stories, they deplored the
loneliness their absence had caused in
our city, and the most egotistical of
them wondered how we could get along
without them. Our "purest and best"
are always dropping away through
migratory and other causes. and yet it
is astonishing how little they are
missed. The man who thinks his place
will be difficult to fill falls out OF sight,
and everything seems to 60 on as usual.
1t is the way of the world. A vacuum,
both in material and in human nature,
is not only abhorred, but is instantly
filed. "Our boys" will doubtless have
good time. They will splurge all
along the line between here and Chica-
go, and be weighed down with their re-
sponsibility OF upholding the name and
fame, OF Los Angeles. They will do this
welpand srandly. They will be missed
in their sets and from the bosom of
their families; but the great city OF the
south will wag along just the came as if
they hadn't gone at all.

set up his absurd claim the other day
in the senate. "Our Steve," however.
was on hand, and eoon showed thst he
was thoroughly "posted in regard to
this unfounded claim OF the senator
from Oregon. He handled Mr. Dolph' 8
baseless pretentions without gloves, and
paralyzed him with facts that convicted
him of trying to not only deliberately
steal the credit which belongs to Geary,
but of using his strongest endesvors to
defeat the measure he now falsely
claims as having been originated by him.
No doubt the Oregon legislature will
take especial note of this debate, and
act accordingly.

SENATOR DoLPn, of Oregon, has made
himself ridiculous on several occasions
by claiming that he was the real, genu-
inc Simon-pure, original Jacobs who
drafted the essential features of the
Geary bill, and that the honor of being
its author was unjustly taken from him
and given to the representative from the
first district of California. Geary showed
the absurdity of Dolph's claim last year,
and not only showed that he was not
the author of the bill, or OF its essen
tial principle, registration, bnt that he
did his utmost in the senate to defeat
the measure. Dolph's term is drawing

SOCIETY.

A very enjoyable lawn social was
given at the lovely home of Mr.. VIM.
Bosbyshell on Magnolia avenue, last
Tuesday evening, August 2sth. The en-
tertainment was given under the aus
pices os the ladies' aid society of the
First English Lutheran church. The
house and lawn were prettily decorated
with Chinese lanterns, and picturesque
booths we're scattered about in which
coffee was served by attractive ladies in
Chinese costume. The ice cream and
other refreshments were in charge OF
pretty young ladies who successfully
disposed OF them ALL. One of the sweet
est features OF the evening was the
home made candy booth. The most
novel attraction was inside the U. B. Y.
S. tent, which contained an exceedingly
patient dame who sat three long hours
amidst sweet strains of music whiting
out good advice to her visitors, her fine
appearance succeeding in drawing large
owd. Amueements we're indnlged in on
the lawn by the guests, particular men,

Mr.. Taylor and sons produced excellent

Los ANGELES THEATER Jane is GER
tainly a really funny play. 1t would
be funnier and better If the somewhat
dreary process of explanations in the
last part of the last act was cut 10 con-
siderable extent and il no meretricious
advertising of local concerns was per-
mitted in the lines, but as played by the
Frohman company last night it was
perfectly satisfactory as a laugh creator,
even when 1t was preceded by the dreary
curtain raiser called Chums. Miss
Jennie Yeamans in the title role OF
Jane played in thoroughly artistic
manner, preserving thoroughly the
dramatic value of the part as a character
study, and at the same time bringing
into relief all it's farcical qualities. Her
walk, carriage, gestures and intonations
were all In keeping with the character
she pictures.
The company is very excellent
throughout, the civilian" of Mr.. Alf
Fisher being very we'll rendered, while
Mr.. Jos. Allen as Mr.. Kershaw is simply
delightful.
Miss Fisher somewhat overdoes the
regular proverbial stage old maid.
One OF the smallest parts OF the whole
affair, that of the boy Claude, is strik-
ingly well played. On the bills it is
credited to Master Joe Totten. If the
youngeter is indeed the boy he appears
to be on the stage. he deserves high
praise, for he plays with a notable ease
and perfectness of detail
Any comedy that is as clean and nervy
as Jane" is a public benefaction and is
worthy of the most liberal patronage.

The best American play is what the
New York Herald calls The Girl Left
Behind Me, and which will be seen at
the Los Angeles theater next Monday
night. 1t is play of latter day life on
the western border. Its story teens
with love. There are delightful heart
beats in all its lines and brave men and
fair women are brought into all it's lines,
and brave men and fair women are
brought into such charming congenuity
and placed in such interesting situations
that there is one prolonged pleasure for
the senses while the performance is
going on. The play was written by
David Belasco and Franklin Fyles for
Charles Frohman. The love theme OF
The Girl Left Behind Me is woven into
an Indian uprising, and the hero and
the girl of his heart have their loves
knit firmly and forever in grand rescue
scene in which the Twelfth United
States cavalry arrive at doomed mill
tary post Just in time to save a handful
of soldiers from massacre and women
from fate which would have been more
