THEATRICAL MATTERS.

Los ANGELES THEATER-The Span of
Life will commence three days. en-
gagement ON Thursday evening. This
will be one of the best attractions of the
kind ever seen here, and chances are
that the house will be packed. A lead
ing Chicago paper says: The Span of
Life is replete with action from begin
ming to end; there is enough incl
dent in it to make half a dozen
ordinary plays; its scenic environment
is elaborate and pleasing to the eye
there is enough comedy introduced to
allow intervels for the occupants OF the
upper tiers to swallow their hearts occa-
sionaliy, when the strain of having them
''in their throate" becomes too severe,
and, finally, the company presenting is
a more than commonly capable one.
The plot of the play haa already been
given in these columns. Its title is
based upon scene that concludes the
third act, where the heroine, hemmed
in by the destruction of a narrow
bridge over deep chasm, which had
been her only hope of escape from q
terrible fate at the hands of the villain,
is saved in novel manner. Three cir
Gus acrobats who conveniently happen
to be near by, by linking their bodies
together, perform a fall across the
chasm and form human bridge. over
which the prosecuted woman walks in

NEW STREET-CAR LINE

To Be Built to Boyle Heights Through
HolleDbeck Park.
Ex-Mayor Workman and L. d. Hos
kins will build q street railway TO be
operated with the Hoskins electro-vapor
motor, to run from the cable road on
First street, through the Hollenbeck
park, past st. Mary's orphanage.
A petition for street railway fran
chise covering this route was presented
to the council on Monday by ex-Mayor
Workman and I. D. Hoskips. The rails
and ties are already on hand and the
road will be built and put in operation
within 80 days of the granting of the
franchise. This will furnish transpor-
tation for the residents, besides being
an attractive route to the beautiful Hol-
lenbeck park, with it's lake and island,
that will soon be another OF Los Ange-
les resorts. The city has spent several
thousand dollars ON the park and lake,
and persons who have not been in that
locality lately will be very much aston
ished at the transformation that has
taken place.

of these was to buy jackass for $500

original seller for $400. Naturally the
loss of $100 made him sore, and he did
not like to be twitted about it. One day
I saw him on a mule waiting in front of

GOLD BUT A DROP IN THE BUCKET,

Senator Whites views on money. as
set forth in the interview with him pub.
lished yesterday, brings the question OF
demonetizing silver before the public in
quite striking aspect. He shows that
there ID an indebtedness against the
railroads of this country of So, ,000, 600, 900,
and that four-fifths of this vast sum is
in gold-bearing bonds. There is little
doubt that there has been q Niagara of
water used in the manipulation of this
tremendous indebtedness, but the fact
remains that there is not gold enou gh in
the world to meet the enormous obliga-
tion. Railroad bonds, however, are but
a fraction of the bonded indebtedness
for which the productive industries of
this country stand pledged. Every
state, every county, every city, every
school district is loaded to
the guards with interest bearing
bonds, and all to be redeemed in gold.
Then there are hundreds, yes, thou
sands, of industrial corporations weighed
down with the issue of gold bearing
bonds. How absurd it would be to look
for the redemption OF all these securities
in gold if they were to be met not even
at once, but in a hundred years. The
highest estimate of the worlds stock OF
gold is placed at SO. 750, 900 900, and if we
had it all, instead of much less than one
twentieth of it, we could not begin to
pay off even the municipal bond indebt-
edness outstanding. In the face of facts
like these, is it not the@ very
acme of folly to cripple our
selves by dismissing silver from its
function as measure of the current
wealth of the country? Now let US put
it in another way. If we can carry this
vast indebtedness although with tho

THOSE NAUGHTY BOYS.
WHAT TO DO WITH THEM PER-
PLEXES JUSTICE AUSTIN.
The Reform School IL Crowded and II
Is Hardly Right to Send Them to
JaiI as vagrants--The Cases
Point-Mfnor Matters.

Justice Austin's lot is at present not q
happy one.
The justice found it difficult matter
to dispose of the numbers of unem-
ployed who were, and still are, daily be-
ing brought before him for vagrancy,
but still more difficult problem has
been confronting him lately.
During the past three weeks nearly q
score of small boys have at various
times been arrested and taken into his
court. They were all tramps, and many
of them had come long distance.
The state school is full, and even were
1t not in that condition, IL appears
hardly fair to tax the county for the
maintenance of youth from other states.
Yesterday a boy was taken before
him who stated that his home was in
New Orleans, and that he had tramped
1t to California.
He was arrested for jumping on and
off the cars. and was barely 16.
Sitting by his side was d. Robinet, q
15-yesr-old boy who had not yet even
attained the dignity of long pants.
The charge against this promising
specimen was drunkenness, and the ar
resting officer testified that he was too
drunk to stand.
The Justice continued both cases until
' he could determine what course to pur-
sue in regard to them.
Three boys were committed yesterday
to Whittier by Justice Austin. but II
many more are brought before him to
deal with the Justice will have to call a
halt. as the school is already over
crowded.
Then comea the question, What is to
be done with them?
To discharge them means sending
them into the company of thieves and
other desperate characters. who would
take but short time to render their
youthful victims equally as corrupt as
themselves.
This is why Justice Austin shakes his
head and sighs every time he sees one
of the youthful offenders in the criminal
dock.
MINOR CASES.
A. Failing, the fellow arrested by
Special Officer Bosqui for burglarizing
the room of guest at the Hollenbeck
hotel, was given preliminary hearing
yesterday by Justice Austin.
AT the conclusion OF the evidence he
wac held for trial in bonds of $4,000.
Oscar Burke, a hard looking citizen,
was arraigned before Justice Austin
yesterday upon a charge of vagrancy,
and refusing to accept work when the
aforesaid employment was offered him.
The charge against Burke was preferred
by his mother, Mre. Bridget Burke.
Burke denied the accusation vigor-
ously yesterday, and the case was set
for tria! on Thursday.
Mrs. Margaret Scheer, who 6red
couple of pistol shots in the air On Mon
day evening while under the influence
of liquor, was fined SIS yesterday by
Justice Austin.
Mrs. Scheer stated that she saw big
dog which was apparently about to bite
her, and she fired in order to scare the
animal away.
The court placed no reliance on her
/ fairy tale and fined her. Mrs. Soheer
then remarked: "Well, s'pose got

between Vanderbilt and the rich coal
measures OF Utah. From where the
road is now completed to the coal mines
is distance of one hundred miles, and

TWO HORSES SHOCKED.

A Live Electric Light Wire Causes Two
Runsways.
A live electric wire came near causing
much damage if not loss of life yesterday
on Spring street, near Third.
A ground wire just above the trolley
wires broke and fell across two horses
attached to wagon of the National Ice
company.
The shock caused the team to run.
They sped away at a lightning gait until
they reached the corner of First and
Spring, where a stop was put to the
runaway by one of the horses falling.
Another team was also frightened by
the accident, but no damage was done
by either runaway.
1t was lucky that the wire struck no
person.
