AGAINST THE CHINESE.
PASADENA AROUSED ON THE
GEARY ACT QUESTION.
A Stormy Meeting Last NiRht-speeches
by Judge Utloy and Others-An
Attack on Chinatown Mar
rowIy Avorted.

Pasadena has at last been struck by
the anti-Chinese movement, and for
little while last evening it looked as if
there was going to be crusade against
the heathen stated at once.
The beginning of the movement was
occasionsd by an announcement from the
various pulpits of the city on Sunday
last that on Friday evening general
meeting would be held in the tabernacle
to discuss the Chinese question and pass
aet of resolutions, asking congress to
extend the time for the registration of
the Chinese. This meeting, for some
reason, did not come off, but its an
nouncement succeeded in stirring up the
laboring people enough to come very
near creating riot against the Chinese.
1t was quite generally known about
town that mass meeting was to be
held somewhere, many thinking it
would be in the tabernacle, 30 that by
o'clock large crowd had gathered on
the corner of Fair Oaks avenue and
Colorado street, waiting for something
to turn up.
Threats against the Chinese were
were freely made, and at one time it
looked as If line of march would be
made without waiting to hear the speak
ers which had been promised.
An incident which occurred about
this time did not tend to quiet the
crowd any, man who has been espe-
cially free with threats, mounted box
and began to harangue the crowd, not
hesitating to chasing the Cinnamon out
OF town. Fearing that the fellow would
create serious disturbance, the police
run him in as drunk, q proceeding that
was heartily denounced by many OF thu
men. No more arrests, however, we're
made and the crowd had quieted down
considerably when the speakers arrived.
Judge Utley mounted dry goods box in
front of the Sau Gabriel Valley bank and
announced the object of the meeting to
be for the discussion of the Chinese
evil. at the same time stating that he
hoped there would be no disturbance.
Mr.. j. d. Rush of the district attor-
neys office was introduced and made the
principal speech of the evening, during
which he was frequently interrupted and
by scheers and applause. When
mention was made of the man in South
ern California who from his judicial
bench defied the Washington aushori-
ties and stood up for American laws and
American privileges, cheer went up
for Judge Ross that could have been
heard half mile.
Following Mr.. Rush, Mr.. Fisk, editor
of the Labor Review, made q short ad-
dress advocating more rights for the
working classess and the enforcement
of the Geary law, all Of which seemed to
please his audience immensely.
Judge Utley made the closing speech
OF the evening, and at its conclusion
introduced strong set of anti-Chinese
resolutions, which were passed with a
vigorous shout.
After the adjournment OF the meeting
there was some talk among few of the
younger men and boys of cleaning out
Chinatown, but the cooler heads pre-
vailed, and at III o'clock every thing had
its usual Sunday appearance.

WOULD-BE ASSASSIN.
A Crank Gets Into the White
House and Wants to Kill Grover.


WAsHINGToN,S Sept. 2S.-Police Officer
Heller had a violent struggle today
with an insane man who in some mys-
terious manner got into the White
house, and was looking for President
Cleveland. The appearance of the
officer probably saved the president
from an assault. How the fellow got
inside the building no one knows. He
was not seen to enter the front or rear
door. He appeared in the hall on the
lower floor as suddenly as though he
had come through the ceiling, and
colored cook, whom he met, he ques-
toned:
II want to see father"
"Who is your father?" the cook asked
him.
"Mr. Cleveland, Of course" was his
response.
Just then Policeman Heller appeared
upon the scene aud asked what was
wanted. He saw at a glance that ths
man was not altogether right.
"Y our father is out in the garden" he
told the mysterious visitor; "come with
me and we will find him."
8 They Immediately started toward the
door, Jn6 crank thinking ne was going
to meet the president, but the officer
knew he would land him at the watch
box. In few minutes they appeared
in the little watch box where Policeman
Hible was on duty. Before Hible knew
what was going on the prisoner grabbed
his (Hible's) black jack from his pocket.
evidently thinking he was getting a
pistol. He tried TO use the black lack
on the officers, but they grabbed him,
and the struggle lasted but a few min
utes before the man was overpowered.
At the station the crank gave the
name of Joseph Washington, but re-
fused to tell where he lived. No one at
the station remembered of ever having
seen him before. When asked what he
wanted at the White house. he replied:
II wanted that chair"
"What chair?"
"Hhe presidents chair.''
Don't you think the president fills it
satisfactorily?' !.
mo. don't.' was his reply. "And
intend to get it by fail means or FOUL.
Give me pistol and you'll see how Pn.
get it, id quick"
He will be held for examination.

the mind that conceived and executed
it all. MI. Irving has exalted his act to
the lofty plane it should always dwell
upon. He has shown the world
that that art can transform
words into action, and surround
those actions with living pictures, so
that it all seems real. Those pictures
are reflections of the mirror held up to
nature. and as such they show 1.-The
very age and body of the time, his
form and presence" Surely this is a
noble art, and the one who ministers to
it and reveals its nobility is worthy of
all honor. The proper study OF man
kind Is man."
Beckett is not masterpiece of
dramatic construction, for Tennyson
was not a dramatist. 1t is dramatic
poem, somber, majestic and lofty i'll
tone, but lacking the virility of action
and the multifarlous touches of human
nature which make Shakespeare
plays vibrate with life. Like
Byron'S dramatic creations, Tennyson's
are marvels of exquisite diction and
glowing imagery, but the characters
are prone to describing and anaIyZing
their emotions, wondering what they
would do under stress of circumstances,
and sometimes telling Il. but rarely do
ing it. Yet Beckett is a remarkable
effort. Those portions of the drama
which are distinctively Tennysonian
are beautiful. The act which transports
US to Rosamond's bower is exquisite.
The scene is redolent with romance.
1t exhales the sweetest of all poetry
the divine love of woman.
But with all the virtues of the work,
it must be admitted that the elaborate
presentation and the splendid acting of
it by Mr.. Irving and his admirably
trained company give the story

his barons sought to compel Beckett
to sign articles relinqishing certain pre-
negatives of the church. Beckett re-
fused. and fled to France to escape
Henry's wrath. Later he returned upon
the solicitation of Henry, but the ran
cor of the king still lived, and when the
archbishop went so far as to remove
Rosamond from her secret bower to a
nunnery, Henry, miStaking his motive,
cried, "Will no one rid me of this low
bern priest?" -Four knights who hated
Beckett jumped at the provoca-
ton, and, fastening to Cam
terbury cathedral, butchered the
archbishop at the foot of the altar.
Thus ends the play. But history does
not end there, for Henry lived to die
from the persecution of his rebellious
sons, and Thomas a Beckett was can
OniZed.
Henry Irving is great actor. His
impersonation of Beckett commands
serious contemplation. 1t is splendid
work of art. 1t is character creation,
as the French say, without any
disparagement to the author or
dramatist. Mr.. Irving is not
graceful declaimer, finished elo-
cutionist. Indeed, his mannerisms
of speech are so pronounced that it is
difficult to understand him at first. But
this natural defect in no wise detracts
from the value aud truth of his charac-
terizations. They are vital portraits
nevertheless. 1t was said OF tine immortal
David Garrick by no less a censor
than DR.. Samuel Johnson that any one
of his scene Shifters could declaim ITO
be or not to be'' better than Garrick,
but yet, in ,Johnson's opinion, David
was the best tragedian and come
dian he had ever seen. And
is not this perfectly reasonable?

character of the lighting PRIEST was
apparent in every glance and expression
of the eye, every motion, every intona-
tion. Beckett is difficult character to ab-
sorb. Overdone he would become
caricature; "come tardy Off he would
be puppet-a cantankerous old man.
Mr.. Irving makes him dignified. fear.-
less, uncompromising priest of God. He
