The Erratic Actress Dying in New

The following notice, taken from the
Illustrated American Of February 11th,
will be OF interest to some of the former
young bloods, now married, however,
who ostill cherish with fond remembrance
the notoriety gained several years ago
MRS. Arthur Padelford, who figured
in famous Baltimore divorce case and
then went on the stage, ia lying at the
point of death in New York hospital.
Her career has been both spirited and
picturesque. She is daughter OF Gen.
Albert Ordway, and has contrived from
the days when she was youthful belle
at Washington to keep her name before
the public. At one time she delighted
the gossips by allowing prominent for
eign diplomat to drink toast from her
pink silk slipper in the crowded dining
room of hotel at White Sulphur
springs.
"At another time she stole from the
Viennese their favorite and handsomest
tenor; again, she horsewhipped her man

Their Methods Being Examined Into by
the District Attorney.
The charges which have been made
against Notary O. B. Holmes, and under
which he is now awaiting trial in the
superior court, that he forged release
OF o mortgage, has caused closer
scrutiny into the methods of several
notaries public in the city and county.
1t was learned yesterday that the dis
trict attorney is investigating the cases
of several notaries in the city who have
taken Acknowledgements of persons
whom they did not know, and who,
when called as witnesses in relation
thereto, have developed very poor MEM
cries. 1t is probable that the grand
jury will be asked to authorize actions
to GUST them from their off ces.
The law is very explicit and manda-
tory in regard to the duties OF notsries
in taking Acknowledgements, and pro-
hibits them from acting in any case
where they do not know the parties,
unless they are properly identified. 1t
is claimed By those who have given the
matter some attention that instances in
which loose methods are followed by
come notsries are more frequent than
may be thought.

THE MISSION EXHIBIT.

The Association for Their Preservation
to Givp Display.
The Mission historical exhibit by the
Mission association, announced for the
last three days of this week, has been
postponed for one week to further COM
plete the collection, and will be held on
the 23d, oath and 25th of February. 1t
will be held in the afternoon and even
ing. A programme of Spanish music,
both vocal and instrumental, will be
given during the evenings. Stereopticon
views OF the old missions, accompanied
with short talks by prominent people,
will also be contributed. The feature of
the exhibit will be model OF the San
Louis Rey Mission by Mr.. and Mrs.
Cornwell, precisely as it appeared to
Mr.. Cornwell in 1885. The model
is feet by s feet, and the
tower is about 3 feet in
height. They have been working at it
for three months. Every little detail at
the large mission has been closely fol-
lowed. An idea of the care and work
bestowed upon the construction of the
model can be formed from the roof.
which contains 20 900 tiles. The model
will be placed in the archaeological and
chronological department of the worlds
fair.
Father Adam, who is member of the
Mission association, has promised to
contribute number of old and valuable
relics constructed by the Indians. This
portion of the exhibit will be of excep-
tional interest, as these contributions
are seldom if ever viewed by the average
tourist, being stored away in the
archives of the church. There will also
be valuable exhibits of Indian basketry,
pottery and stone instruments.
The exhibit will be held in the room
next to the Woman's Exchange on
Broadway.

Notes of Cases on Trial Yesterday-The
: United States Courts-New Suits
Which Were Filed In the
Superior Court.

Seven opinions were received yester-
day at the Office of the deputy clerk of
the supreme court in this city. The
opinions are in the following cases:
The People, appellant, vs.. Montecito
Water company, @. B. Hall and others,
respondents. Judgment reversed and
the cause remanded.
Estate of Kimberly, deceased, an ap-
peal from an order refusing to set aside
homestead for the widow and minor
children of deceased out of property in
ventoried as belonging to the estate.
Order reversed.
The Los Angeles Cemetery association,
appellant, vs. the City of Los Angeles,
respondent. Opinion of the lower court
affirmed, This WAS merely an action to
quiet title to strip OF land.
The Schallert- Ganahl Lumber COM
pany, appellants, VS.. HI. A. Sheldon ct
al, respondents. This was an action to
foreclose q material mans lien. The
judgment of the lower court was
ffirmed.
George P. Yoakum ct ux., appellants,
vs. U. Y. White ct al, respondents.
This was an action in foreclosure. The
judgment of the court below was re-
versed and the cause remanded.
AN IMPORTANT OPINION.
The most important opinions of those
received yesterday were the two follow
ing, concerning the printing Of the de-
linquent tax list.
In the case of H. NJ. Maxwell, ct al,
appellants, VS.. the Los Angeles County
Board OF Supervisors, respondents, the
opinion was as follows:
The appeal is taken from a Judgment
of dismissal of petition for writ of
mandate after demurrer sustained to
such petition, on the ground that it did
ton.
1t depends for its determination upon
the construction given of subdivision 23
of section 25 of the county government
act of 1891, as affecting the provisions
stood before the passage of the act.
1t has been held in the case of the
Journal Publishing company vs. Whit
ney, this day decided, that the county
government act repeals 30 much of eec-
tiou o|oo, T. VI, as requires tHo poaIu Vi
supervisors to contract for the publica-
ton of the delinquent tax list by adver-
tising for sealed proposals to do the
same, and awarding the advertising to
the lowest bidder.
1t is plain that the legislature intend
ed to make it the duty of the board of
supervisors themselves, in the exercise
OF a proper discretion, to fix the price of
such advertising, without any necessity
for giving public notice calling for pro-
posals from those wishing to do such
work, but the contract for advertising is
made by the proper officer, and for q
price not exceeding that fixed by the
board of supervisors. The judgment of
the court below is affirmed.

The Court journal Case.

In the case of the Journal Publishing
Company VS.. ex-Tax Collector A. B..
Whitney, the court handed down an
opinion for the respondent. The object
of the petition was to compel the tax
collector, Mr.. Whitney, to print the de-
linquent tax list in the Daily Court
Journal, on the ground and because it
was the lowest bidder. The court, in
its opinion, held that the tax collector
could direct the delinquent list to be
printed in any paper he saw fit, within
Los Angeles county, upon the condition
and proviso that it was done within the
rate and price fixed by the board of su-
visors. In the case in hand this was
done. The court also held that as long
as these conditions were complied with
the tax collector could not be COM
PEELED to print the delinquent list in any
other way. This was an affirmation OF
the decision Of the lower court.

SERIOUS Loss.-Mr. Charles Good
rich, member OF the Board ofAldermen
from the Second ward and travelling
salesman for Messrs. Geo. r. Hill &
Co., met with serious loss last night
while on his return trip from Rockville,
Nd. Mr.. Goodrich had collected from
his customers during his trip, about
$3.50, of which some $3.50 was in cash
and $50 in checks, and his collections
were placed in satchel which was de-
posted in the delivery wagon upon
which he was riding. On his way from
Washington to this city, when near
Four Mile Run, and while he had fallen
asleep in his seat, his wagon struck a
post on the side of the road which
caused number of boxes to be thrown
to the ground. The shock awoke him
and he gathered up the boxes and pro-
ceeded to this city, and upon his ar
rival here discovered the loss of his
satchel. He at once took steps looking
to the recovery of his property, by pro-
ceeding over the road he had travelled
and making inquiries as topersons who
had passed over the route, and then
proceeded to Washington to employ a
detective in the search. Mr.. Goodrich
had not returned up to four O'Clock
this evening.

CAUGHT IN A CHICKEN HoUsE.-Be-
tween ten and eleven o'clock last night
Joseph Whiting, colored, who lives in
the southern section Of the city, was in
formed by two friends that q man had
been seen TO scale his fence and enter
his yard. Whiting armed himself with
an old and empty gun and i'll company
with his friends proceeded on recon
nosaDce. They searched the yard and
were about to return to the house when
one of the trio suggested that they
look into the chicken house, and while
doing so William Madella, well-known
colored man, emerged therefrom and
began to give some incoherept reasons
for his presence on the premises. The
three men took him in charge and con-
Quoted him to the front door and later
Officers Grady and Arlington arrested
the trespasser. This morning when
brought before Mayor Strauss, Madella
stated that Whiting and his two friends
we're drunk, and he 0he prisoueD on
hearing the alarm that somebody was
on Writings premises had jumped over
the fence to aid in capturing the tres
passer. Whiting testified he was minus
three chickens this morning. The ac-
cused was fined so and costs, and, hav-
ing become impudent toward the May
or, was fined s. additional for contempt
of court. Several persons living in the
same neighborhood have lost chickens
recently, Mr.. Carroll having had q
large number stolen night or two ago.

RAILROAD GATEs.-Several members
of the City Council and representatives
of the railroad companies in this city
held conference yesterday in refer
ence to the placing of gates at certain
street intersections. The railroad Off
Gals said they thought the ordinance
passed by the lower branch of the City
Council at its last meeting required Il Q
erection of a needless number of gates
in the city, and after an interchange of
views the railroad men expressed q
willingness to place gates on Fayehe
street at the intersections of Duke,
Prince, King and Oronoco streets. AS
but few trains are run ON Henry street,
the railroad men said no gates were
really needed on that street, but that
they would flag every train that passed
along that street. 1t was also agreed
to place gates on Wilkes street at the
intersections of Royal, Washington
and Henry streets. 1t is understood
that at the next meeting of Council the
bill will be amended in conformity with
the above.

ticeable, as the church is filled every
night. The song service at 7:30 p. m.
is a very attractive feature, though
no more so than the mission service it
self; for the congregation seems to en-
Joy the words of comfort and hope
that fall from the lips of the missioner
in clear, ringing tones. The Chapter
of Praise, from st. Paul's Church, are
proving a valuable addition to the
musical part of the programme. At

for men only at $50 p. m. on Sunday.

The Burglar" thrilling drama, in
admirable style at the Opera House;
The sectors were all at perfect ease and
acquitted themselves in excellent style,
and not hitch occurred through
ont the entire performance. The act
ing of little Lottie Briscoe as "Editha'
deserves special mention. She is by
far the best child actress that ever ap-
peared at the Opera House. There was
Just enough humor in the play to count,
erbalance the more serious and pathetic
parts, but there was considerable mer'
riment occasioned during the latter
scenes by the sonorous breathing OF an
occupant of back seat who was con-
tinually falling into the arms of Nor;
pheus and who made himself heard
every time an affecting scene was en-
acted on the stage.
