ngton and Oregon and that he would
probably act up in the sound country on
the dates that be had cancelled with
them. So they wrote 10 Lawyer Will
lam Hoff Cook In this city and instructed
him to bring suit for breach Of contract.
The attorney yesterday drew up q
complaint In which, among other things,
it is alleged that Nat G.. Goodwin is an
actor and that he has been such for
some time; that he contracted to appear
at McLain & Lehman's theater June 1st,
I'd and Sd; that he has no intention of
so appearing, and that the PLAINTIFF are
damaged to the extent of $1,000, for
which they ask judgment.
A deputy sheriff was taken up to the
box Office of the Baldwin theater last
night and he garnieheed all receipts that
may fall to Mr.. Goodwin's share.
1t will be remembered by theater
goers that the last time Mr.. Goodwin
was here his concluding performance
was simply an impertinence he and his
company conversed among themselves
on the stage and acted in way that was
outrageously defiant of the rights of the
audience and careless of their own self
respect as alleged artists.

YACHTING MATTERS.
What a Northsrn Paper Says About our
Boats.

What a Northsrn Paper Says About our
Boats.
The season OF activity, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, may now be fairly
at it's height. With more OF the pleas
ant breezy summer weather ahead Of
him, then past, the yschtsman, whose
craft breasts the white caps and tide rips
to be encountered in California waters,
is now at the very pinnacle of enthusiss-
tic anticipation. There are, in the next
few months, races to be won, cruises to
be made with the feet and long days
when jolly crew and the good ships
stores are q panacea for all his earthly
cares; days when he minds not whether
the winds blow high or low. 1t is true
that in California during the entire year,
with the exception Of d few occasions
when the eouthers see fit to blow, there
is very comfortable sailing weather, but
there is a time for all things and the
time for Yachting on San Francisco bay
is from the middle of May till the first
OF November.
The brother yachtsman hailing from
more southerly ports does not confine
hiH sailing to this period however. There
are fewer 'eloppy times" in the winter
along the southern coast, and it Ia
warmer. There have been o number Of
yacht clubs organized from time to time
in Southern California. The Los Ange-
les boats at present sail under the bur
gee Of the Catalina Yacht club. which
takes its name from Santa Catalina
island. The favorite rendezvous of the
Catalina's Is San Pedro bay. In this lit.
tie sheltered haven the yachts winter,
most OF them never going out Of com
mission during the entire twelve
months. The feet is composed of about
half-dozen very capable yachts, among
which is the La Paloma, which is the
fastest sloop on the coast this season, as
the Annie will not be put in commission
by her owner, Commodore Phil Oaduc,
who is going to Chicago later on. The
other boats of the fleet that manage to
keep up pretty we'll with the La
Psloma are the sloops Restless,
Penelope and Puritan and the schooners
I. Ellis and the San Diego.
San Diego boasts quito fleet OF the
"25-footer" and "singl -hander" class,
the larger pleasure craft being designed
entirely for cruising and comfort.
The yachtsmen in Southern California
waters certainly have, in one respect,
at least, great advantage over those
hailing from San Francisco. In few
hours from port to port they are on one
of the most beautiful cruising grounds
In the world. There they sail over q
! tropic sea with all its charm of brilliant
seaweed and animal life, and the main
land and curious islands afford some of
the most perfect anchoring coves q
yachtman'a heart could wish, while his
eye is made glad by the loveliest of

Some few men can go into politics and
make money at it-for that matter, fome
men can make money at anything--but
1t must be admitted that the majority
who make politics main ambition and
pursuit find it exceedingly improbable.
Almost invariably it turns out that the
greater seeming political success one
has, the greater is the loss OF means and
of sound business standing. The excep-
tions 20 this only emphasize its general
truth.
Ohio has given us two notable exam
piles of this in Gov. Mckinley and ex-
Secretary Foster, whose business Losses
have attracted attention as wide as their
regulations. The former earned money
enough, but trusted others who were
his political friends. Such man is the
prey of those who "stand in" with them.
In many ways they come to have rights
which cannot be ignored. OF course it
does not follow that thene borrowers,
who go often drag their friends down,
are dishonest or In any way dis
creditable; but it is q sober truth
one should never be asked to
take the risk OF another'a business, in
which he can have no control, interest
or oversight, Gov. Mckinley did this
very thing, and men in his line of life
are continually doing it, They have
not the habit of men who rely on busi-
ness principles nor the heart to begin
Fthe habit.
Ex-Secretery Fosters case is still
stronger one OF this sort. He was al
ways good fellow" and 60 always
popular. Everybody turned to "Chsr
ley" Foster when a big political If
was needed for his party; and when ht
led an almost forlorn hope in his gres
race for governor, he seemed to be still
more popular, when his enemies dubbed
him "Calico Charley" in token OF hil
dry goods store start in life. There il
not time enough left to him ever to re
pair hiP terrific business losses, caused,
as he pathetically says, by devotion Il
politics" He who trusts diversified
business interests to others, as the bus,
politician must do, takes the chances o
their capacity and honesty; and this II,
man can safely do.
1t ought to be apparent, too, that t.

ONLY ONE WEEK
Remains 10 Test Tho Free Treatment -Ezami
nation, Advice and Treatment FNo
UntifCured- -HOlIenbeck Hotel Los
Angeles, May 22TilI June 3.

As there are many sufferers in Loe
Angeles and vicinity who are unable to
visit the San Francisco Institute, who
desire treatment, and go many letters
have been received asking for treatment
by mail, that 1t has been deemed advisa-
BILE to visit Los Angeles to give those
who desire such examination, advice
and treatment az may be indicated in
each individual case for one week
FREE OF CHARGE, thus giving suf-
ferers from all chronic diseases personal
attention and all the advantages of this
new system that has produced such
marvellous cures ih San Francisco and
vicinity.
Although the expense will be several
Thousand dollars, we know that the
large number that we shall treat, the
cures will be so varied, and the good we
shall accomplish will cover so large q
field, that the advertisement will be
double what could be obtained by the
expenditure in any other way. We also
desire to call attention to our we'll
equipped institute. All we ask in re-
turn is for each patient to report to
their sick friends the benefit obtained
by this truly wonderful system.
The scientific knowledge of these
specialists of symptomatology patholo-
gy materia medica and mental thera-
peutics enables them to understand,
locate and historize disease in its incip-
iency, progress and termination, and to
prescribe the proper remedies necessary
for perfect and permanent cure. Our
medicines-mostly imported-are pure,
safe and free from mineral poisons, and
are prepared under the direct super
vision of DR.. Bryant, and will be fur
nished at cost.
Not only will the patient be surprised
at their wonderful knowledge OF disease,
their plain, concise explanation of every
cause and effect, but the rapidity with
which they relieve and cure the most
obstinate cases by the Bryant system.
1t is this system that has robbed the
surgeons knife of so many fatal opera
tions in cases of tumors, cancers and
other abnormal growths.

THE HOME MANAGERS.
A DIsTINGUIsHED PARTY ARRIVE

General franklin, tho Chairman OF the

making their annual tour of inspection
through the country, and are accom-
panied by several other gentlemen who
are making the trip with them.
Gen. M. B. Eranklin said at the Hol-

found nothing to complain about in the
various homes they had visited.

naming couple of days we went to

of affairs existing there, everything be-

and found that institution in excellent
condition. The inmates were all we'll
and appeared to be leading happy and
pleasant lives. From the latter place we
have come here. We were compelled
to lay over day at Ell Paso to make
connections, but that interval proved
agreeable, because it gave us an oppor-
tunity to make a short look through the
town. The ride over the Southern Ps-
citic was hot and dusty, but beyond
that we had pleasant time. l know
all members of the party enjoyed them
selves.
We are going down to Santa Monica
tomorrow to look into it's condition and

Especial Correspondence TO the HERALDt
CHICAGO, May %, 1893.-The first
three weeks of the Worlds fair have
been fully as satisfactory in the matter
of attendance and financial results as
any person had a right to expect, con-
eiderine the unfayorable circumstances
which have prevailed nearly all the
time since Grover Cleveland
TOUCHED THE BUTTON
And started the machinery. BAD
weather and incompleteness of exhibits
were the chief factors in keeping the
daily average attendance below what it
would otherwise have been. But these
and lesser obstacles either have been or
soon will be numbered among
things OF the past. The daily
average attendance is steadily in
creaeing, though as yet it is not
by any means commensurate with the
magnitude and splendor of this monster
exposition. For no matter what may be
said about the unfinished condition OF
numerous exhibits, the fair 10 now, as a
whole, in pretty good shape, and we'll
worth trip across the continent to see.
1t will ''improva with age," however,
and every day is showing changes for
the better.
VISITORS COMING.
The city is teeming with visiting
strangers, but, as yet, there is no lack
OF accommodations for all, and for four
times as many more. Chicago is liter
ally honeycombed with hotels and
rooming houses of all sizes and grades.
They are to be found in every portion Of
the city and on every street. The district
close to the fair grounds is solid mass
OF buildings intended for supplying visi-
tors with accommodations. Hundreds
of them are not yet completed, but work
upon them ie in progress. They will
never all be filled at any one time, ex-
cept possibly on a few special and very
extraordinary occasions. Not but that
there will be tremendous influx of Wis
itors to the city, but the fact is the &C.
commodation business is being tre-
mendously overdone, and hundreds who
went into it expecting to make "big
money" will emerge from the small end
of the bugle next fall.
SUMMER RESORTS.
Onlcag0an5 nave no OhllIOrnlh Cumabe
to enjoy, no seaside resorts to revel in
but in the absence of these luxu.
ries hundreds will, as has
long been their custom, enjoy frequent
excursions on the matchless steamers oi
the famous Goodrich line, which ply be-
tween Chicago and scores of interesting
points in Michigan and Wisconsin. M
finer steamers are to- be found on western
waters than these, and it is not strange
that they are immensely popular.
THE CALIFORNIA, EXHIBITS
at the worlds fair are being gotten into
good shape st last, and, after receiving
the finishing touches, they will be very
attractive. Nine exhibits. distributed
among nearly ag many different depart
neDts, will do much toward attracting
attention to the claims of California.
But the greatest attraction of all will be
our state building-its contente and sur
rounding gardens. The great building
will be ready ere long for "house
warming" and that means grand
time. RALPH Z. HoYT.

would have each township organize
into municipality for road purposes.
Then, when two-thirds OF the taxpaying
citizens of township should vote to tax
themselves for road purposes, the state
should furnish an equal amount, not to
exceed in the aggregate 5 per cent on the
assessed value of the taxable property Of
the township. Let the state issue its
bonds at 3 per cent to cover one-half Of
tho Indebtedness and loan its credit for
the township half of Indebtedness, limit
ing the aggregate Indebtedness to $780,

one-ffth Of per cent and like tax on
township property would soon hquidate

have made careful inquiry as to the
cost of rock and gravel roads and find
that the cost Will not exceed 81, 900 per
mile. Let us illustrate: Say the taxable
assessed value Of township property is
81 900, 900. An indebtedness of $4,000
can be created, of which the state pays
SEQ, 900 and the township $25 600. This
will build 25 miles of road.
As to the justice and equity of this
proposition, it will be remembered that
the bulk OF the recent Indebtedness Of
the state, now so nearly liQuidated, was
contracted by loaning the credit of the
state for building railroads; that the lien
was subsequently, released, and the
whole state, including ell the portions
not Immediately benefited by the rail
roads, have uncomplainingly aided in
hquidating the debt.
Can any one doubt but that with sucf
system Of roads the taxable wealth
would in 20 years double in value?--St

with McLain & Lehman, proprietors OF

on behalf Of Nat Goodwin, under the

Mr.. Goodwin was to get Is per cent OF
the receipts and McLain & Lehman
were to do the advertising, bill-posting
and everything else. All Mr.. Goodwin
had TO do was to take his company there
and act. The managers did not care
much whether his company acted or
not. In fact, they did not look for such
@ thing. They knew that tor many
wears MIR, Goodwin had been packing
companies around the country the mem
bers of which resembled wssherwomen
and dry goods clerks. But they thought
that the people of Los Angeles felt such
en aching desire to see Mr.. Goodwin
himself that they would flock into the
theatre. greatly to their financial happi-
ness.
Some time after the contract waf
signed McLain & Lehman received q
