ADJUSTMENTS.

Los ANGELES THEATER.-The National
Pageant, at the Los Angeles theater, last
night, got bad send-off in the down
power that prevsiled, but those who at
tended it saw very original and attrac-
tive display, certainly the best amateur
performance of this season. Mrs. Pope
directed the stage with a precision
worthy of Ben Teal himself; and aside
from the awkwardness of one or two
young gentlemen, the affair went very
smoothly. Miss Foster and Miss Coral
Harrison carried off the principal honors,
though it should not be forgotten the
finely rendered song of the Pilgrim
Fathers at the opening of the second
act by Mr.. H. G. Portway. He has a
very we'll rounded baritone voice and
acquitted himself with great credit.
The minuet at the presidential man
sion on the occasion of Washington's
Inauguration and the battle field of
Bunker hill were the best rendered of
the tableaux, although Miss Harrison
was very clever as Priscilla Mullins in
the courtship scene with bashful John
Alden.
The performance will be repeated this
evening, and, as 1t is in aid of one of the
city's noblest charities, it deserves full
house.
A matinee will likewise be given on
Saturday afternoon at the usual hour.
The descriptive orchestral piece, en-
titled A Trip to Coney leland, was very
ingeniously designed and capitally exc
cuted for 80 small an orchestra.

HELPED OUT BY WALL STREET.
Treasury Department Badly
Embarrassed.
Secretary Foster Forced to Borrow
Gold Extensively.
New York Banks Come to tho Rescue
and Save the Treasury from Utter
Depletion of Its Free
Gold Holdings

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-The continue d
export of gold from the city to Europe
has at last forced the treasury depart
ment to view the situation with the
same uneasiness. Accordingly Secre-
tary Foster, in an informal way. con-
veyed desire to the associated banks
of this city for aid. In discussion of the
matter member OF the clearing house
association said today:
''As result OF this expressed desire
the clearing house committee met on
Tuesday. As the authorized chairman
of the committee, President Williams,
of the Chemical National bank, arranged
with various banks carrying large sums
of gold to turn over enough to the sub
treasury to Offset the Withdrawals of
gold for export last week. The result
was that $2,000,000 deposit and legal
tenders were taken by the banks in ex-
change. This is not the limit of the as
siutance that will be given, but further
sums of gold will be turned In as de-
sired by Secretary Foster"
The clearing house committee will
probably meet tomorrow to take further
steps in framing definite policy, and q
conference OF bankers may also be held
to discuss the situation. The banks OF
this city hold about $50, 900, 900, which
would be available il required to main
tain the reserve. 1t is reported that the
banks assisting the treasury would send
$500, 900 each to the treasury.
Today President Williams OF the
Chemical bank said the report was true.
He said: 1.-THE object of the course is to
spare the treasury the necessity of cut
ting into the 500, 1000, 900 reserve. They
have now $10S 100000, but the action OF
the banks will hold it where 1t is until
relief comes from elsewhere"
"Shall you meet further Withdrawals
in like manner"
"Yes; the banks which have already
acted will continue to do what they can
to guard against the depletion of the
treasury"
jesse Seligman said In regard to the
plan: "There is in the country fully
$525, ,0OO, 900, of which $100, ,000, 900 is on
the Pacific coast, and the country is
producing $37 900, 900 in gold annually.
The present drain can continue but a
little longer, as France and Austria will
soon acquire all the gold required to fill
their complement, and the demand from
there will probably cease"
Assistant Treasurer Roberts stated
that $3 800, 900 in gold was paid into the
sub-treasury today, which with 80 ,000,-
900 received previously makes s5, SOC, ,00C
received from the banks in exchange fol
legal tender notes. In regard to the
reported conference Mr.. Roberts said
SIT can be learned from the papers that
Secretary Foster will be here on Satur.
day to attend Republican meeting, bu
there will be no conference. The pres
ent administration will continue only q
little longer, and its purpose now il
solely to keep everything in good shape
to turn over to the new administration,
and the only step that will be taken will
be to maintain a surplus over the gold
reserve"

TIE banquet given to Senator White
last night was one Of the finest compli.
ments ever paid to public man in this
state. The responses to the toasts were
all eloquent and in good taste, and some
Of them were fine and superior speci-
mems OF post-prandial oratory. The
speech of Senator White shows that he
already realizes some of the most trying
and perplexing difficulties which beset
the man who has achieved the distinc-
tion OF representing great state in
the upper house, and who is
In line and touch with the
appointing power. Knowing that
there are not enough Offices to go
around, he is already placating the
wrath of the great army of those who
will be among the disappointed. Patron
age 10 indeed the bane of men in power,
and Senator Whites experience will be
no exception to the rule. The agony
has already commenced with him, but
he has not yet reached its acutest stage.
Wait. In the meantime he cannot but
feel fattered at the very handsome
manner in which he has been treated
by his neighbors. Let him enjoy the
gifts the gods vouchsafe as they come,
for the time is at hand when his temper
and good nature will be sorely tried.

Glenalvin OFF for tho East.
The baseball association of this city

following officers for the Los Angeles

president and manager; M. 7. Owens,
vice-preaident; W. F. Kennedy, secre-
tary, and R. J. Glenalvin, captain.
Manager Lindley was seen yesterday
and asked how many and who of the

statement in this respect at present, al
it would interfere with his plans if the
players knew he was after them.
Mr.. Glenslvin leaves today to go di-

him to paint all the statues according
to his practical ideas. The trend of
Hawkins's artistic genius was shown in
the way he had cupid, tip-toe, orna-
menting fountain, touched up. He
got the painter to outline an india
rubber overcoat on the back OF the love-
god and then had an umbrella raised
over his head. That might not have
been high art, but it was practical art,

territory in San Bernsrdino county, il
is the most eclectic region on the globe.
This Is tall talk, and we are perfectly
aware OF it. At the same time we know
that the farther any man has travelled
the more perfectly he will agree with us
that we have not exaggerated one jot
or little. This is both the poetical and
hygienic region OF the American conti-
nent, and it is absolutely certain to COM
mand fancy prices. Communities OF ex-
ceptional wealth and elegance will grow
up here, with the certainty that ex-
treme values will rule in very few
years.
Information reaches us that another
exceedingly valuable portion of Los An
geles county, in the immediate neigh
borhood of this city, is experiencing a
liveliness in the real estate market that
has not been noticed since the boom
we allude to the country bordering upon
the Monte, Savannah, the San Felipe
Lugo and the Merced ranchos. There
is nothing specially romantic about this
section, but it will probably grow more
alfalfa, cabbage, cauli6ower and corn
to the acre than any equal expanse of
surface in the world. The farmers
thereabouts are beginning to awaken TO
the possibilities that lie ahead of them.
A Chicago capitalist is about to start
pork packing establishment. and he
guarantees to give the farmers five
cents pound for their pork on the
hoof. Here is positive riches for indus
trious men.
Although these lands differ from
those on the foothills and would be se-
lected neither to cure asthma and ca
tarrh nor the creation OF esthetic homes,
they are specially valuable of their kind.
They reek with the fatness of the earth.
Miracles of production of the staples of
the temperate zone have been recorded
there. 1t is matter that admits of
proof that the people Of the Monte once
upon time sent to the state fair at Sac
ramento a stool of corn from which
grew three stalks. One OF these was
twenty-nine and half feet high and the
two others twenty-eight feet each. The
same shipment included pumpkin
which weighed 256 pounds and beet Of
a weight so fabulous that we decline to
give it. AS it is, the story will prob
ably be put down as California lie,
although it is quite as true as the Bible,
and far truer than the Apocrypha
thereof.
No wonder sensible people are hunt
ing out these lands. At the rate at
which Los Angeles is filling up there
viii be very few of them left very
shortly. They are now held at figures
which, in many cases, will be doubled
before another twelvemonth shall roll
around. This is the law and the proph-
ets of the matter.

muLrIruDRs SEEKING BARGAINS.

Through all portions of Los Angeles
county there is a decided demand for
acreage property. We noticed, a week
or so ago, the numerous inquiries that
are being made for lands in the San
Gabriel foothills. Beginning with Pas
adena this has ranged all along the base
Of the Sierra Madre mountains, to the
Duarte and Azusa, and beyond. There
is not man who owns an acre Of land
In that section who cannot sell it at an
advance on the figures attainable year

by day. The amount of such property
is necessarily very limited. In con-

EDITORS HERALD: beg to assure your

is another woman in Los Angeles who
will not wear hoops even if all her sis
ters, cousins, annts, neighbors and ac'

of all countries to join it. She intends
to publish their names and addresses,

women to determine whether they shall
adopt an ungainly fashion forced upon
them by small clique of men in Paris.
Absurd, isn't it. that men should make

An ILLUSTRATED weekly has been
started In Paris entitled the Franco
American, which is principally de-
voted to the worlds fair and things
relating to this country. The first num-
Der has reached us. and we find an
article in its columns, written by Maj.
Ben Truman, from which we make the
following extract:
California is undoubtedly the best
part of the United States for small
farmers. 1t is very common to hear
American farmers who have removed
to California from Iowa, Minnesota,
Illinois, Kansas or Missodri say that
they make more money from twenty
acres in California than they made from
one hundred and sixty acres in any OF
the other states, and with far less labor.
The reason for this is that the climate
of California is favorable to the growth
of fruits which bring high price in the
market; and which, when dried and
preserved, have a sale all over the
United States and Europe. Thus, on a
small piece of ground in California, the
farmer is surer OF a living, and of money
In his pocket, than he is on much more
ground in other states, where he can
raise only corn or wheat or hogs.

ALAMEDA ie in the throes of disputa-
tion the echoes of which will reach as
far as the drenched and roofess build
ings of the worlds exposition. An
artist named Yellsnd has been engaged
to put upon canvas some of the most
striking views of that picturesque town.
But Mr.. Yelland's ideas of the beautiful
do not correspond with those of the
people of Alameda. He wants to re-
produce what he considers views of the
finest scenery that graceB the foliaged
town; they want him to paint, not
nature, but the outward and visible
signs of industrial improvement.
There" says Yelland, pointing his
brush towards the long, fat Encinal
''there is what they want me to repro
duce as the piece de resistance;' and
he singled out a long, low, black strip ol
land with great factory building rising
from the extremity of the marshy
peninsula. "What kind of an idea Of
art must these people have when they
want me to turn away from the beauti.
full scenery that surrounds US and re.
