been shown in them that it is proposed
to give successive courses year after

obliged to decline extending this course
on account OF school engagements.
On Saturday the talk began with do

trating by pictures the Colonial and
Neo. Colonial styles, the so-cslled
Queen Anne. and the modern shingle

Colonial was explained to be that
style which suggests broad, airy hall.

Modern society being 80 complex, its
demands upon architects are equally

q THE RAILROADS.

No Troub.e Among the M~n-Mr. Towne's
Hurried Trip East.
Yesterday an uneasy feeling prevailed
among railroad employees, in conse-
quence Of the cut in wages which went
into effect on Saturday.
The trainmen on the Los Angeles divi-
sions have taken no action as yet in the
matter, but it is intimated that they
may meet and consider propositions OF
opposing the cut Meanwhile the Off
cials claim that there is not even q mur.
muir on the part Of the employees and
express confidence in the fealty OF the
urgent necessity for general curtailing
of expenses in consequence OF the de-
preston in business.
Members OF the A. R. U. who failed 20
secure employment when the July
strike was declared of, are inclined to
display an uncharitable feeling of ella
tion over the fact that the men who
stood bv the company during the strike
now have just cause for complaint.
Prominent members OF the order
claim that they predicted a cut in the
event OF a failure Of the strike which
the A. R. u. organized, and insist that
the end is not yet in sight. as the rail-
road company will, inside of a year.
make a further cut.

ARE THE VIANDS REAL

When Dinner la Served ON tho
Stng.?
When actors partake Of repast on
the stage there are usually number Of
people in the audience who ask them
selves, Are the viands real? Well,
sometimes they are and sometimes they
eso not. During Salvini's recent en-.
gagement in San Francisco the writer
happened to be invited back on the
stage when Friend Fritz was the bill OF
the evening. The ecene at the break
fas: table was on. but there was muifi I'D
conversation between Fritz and Hanezo
that could hardly have bsen intended
for the ears of the audience. From
their remarks it will be learned precise
ly what the meal consisted Of.
Just taste this bieque and give me
your opinion" said Fritz aloud The
soup was tasted In silence. Then Han
ego said, soto voce: "It's awful. gov
ernor, there's no salt in it," then,
aloud, delicious! delicious !" to which
Frederick replied, Perfect! perfect !"
Enter Catharine, with the fish, which
was half loaf Of rye bread cut in the
shape OF fab. and garnished with let
tuce and floating in a gravy of soup.
Joseph's violin was heard by the audi
ence while it was being served, but not
Fritz's remarks when he whispered,
Eat the fish. boys" II can't, govern.
or" said Hanezo. "rye bread doesn't
agree with me-" The pork pie was next
served, but instead OF pork it contained
apples. AHA ~ exclaimed Fritz. aloud,
this is your favorite dish--a pork pie"
to which Hanezo answered, with jolly
laugh, and then whispered, Governor,
l cant eat pie. I'm banting."
The Rhine wine and the claret were
genuine and the glasses were always set
down empty. This is accounted for
from the fact that Mr.. Salvini is too
good an Italian to drink q poor quality
OF wine, and the bottles therefore con.
tain the best that can be purchased.
In Philadelphia, said Mr.. Salvini
to the writer afterwards. "a friend of
mine presented me with rare old bots
tie Of port from some famous cellar, and
the company drank 1t before the audi
ence. which the audience thought was
cold tea. But the breakiss scene that
night was played with an unusul
amount Of earnestnsss, / assure you."

The bride was plainly worried over the
delay. and the guests began to grow anx-

Messengers were sent to the bride

In the plot was George Andrews, the

The prisoners had secured a Ratchet,

The hole was fortunately discovered
by the Jailer, and with the assistance

Deputy Sheriff Schwartz says this was
the most desperate attempt yet tried.
The men had opened each others cells

but on seeing the pistols held by the
keepers they went back to their cells.
