THE SWISS COLONY

Appropriately and PatrfotioAiIy Csis-
brats Their Independence Day..
The Swiss colony OF Los Angeles cello
brated last night at Mcdonald hall. 127
North Main street. the 5S7th annivor-
sary OF the declaration OF independence
of Switzerland. The attendance was a
very good one. and every body seemed to
have good time, as speechmaking,
singing and dancing was freely INDUCED
in. M. j. Yoerriman acted as floor
manager; Prof. Encel rendered sweet
vocal and instrumental music. NJ. j..
Wampfer WAS the orator Of the occasion.
whose eloquent speech received frequent
applause. Mr.. Wampfler spoke in part
as follows:
I'm paying homage to our native
country; in giving due tribute to our
glorious ancestors, and in praising and
blessing the institutions of Switzerland,
we shall not be less loyal to the land OF
our adoption. The flag with the etars
and stripes shall always inspire us TO be
worthy citizens OF this country. and the
institutions OF this great republic shall
be considered sacred by US at all times.
and more so, az many gifted SWISS has
materially contributed to its glory and
greatness. Young Hassler, called upon
by the congress OF the United States at
the end of the last or the beginning of
this century, laid the foundation OF the
first geodetic measurement of the At
lantic coast, and as l understand, his
plans and trigonometrical basis is still
in use at the navy department at Wash
ingtou-he was n Swiss; Q. M. Gallatin,
the great tinancier, secretary OF the
treasury under Thomas Jefferson, was a
Swiss; great and brillisnt Louis Agassiz,
for many years professor at Harvard
college, and whom the Americans ten
derly call "our Agassiz." was Swiss; ;
gifted ]. ]. Staempfii. one of the judges
OF the Alabama arbitration tribunal, was
Swiss; General Sutter, one OF the
noblest and worthiest of pioneers of our
Golden state, was also Swiss, and many.
more could be linked to the chain of
names of illustrious Swiss-Americans.
Truly the little republic in the Alps hae
furnished many a noble sculptor to
chisel and mould the fame and destiny
of the great republic between the oceans.
Prolonged applause.

GRAND OPERA HoUsE.-Mr. Bremen
has not added to his reputation, either
as playwright or actor, in his Through
the Shadows OF Death, that was put on
at.the opera house last night. It is not
a great play and it gives him but little
opportunity to do his best in the way OF
acting. There were some changes in
the cast at the last moment, the places
of Mr.. de la Motta and Miss Thorne be.
ing filled by substitutes, making the
few bitches in the action execrable.
The rest of the company did their usual
acceptable work, aad the scenery and
stage appointments were up to their
average excellence. The orchestra pl lay ed
some very pretty numbers, and played
them we'll. and the house, although
light. showed interest and enthusiasm m

lat man would like to see, the rest OF
them more than make up for the loss,
and as the story is unfolded it grows in
interest and excitement. Tbs scenic
effects are up to their usual standard,

the work of George Woodthorps and
Dorothy Roesmore being exceptionally
noticeable. Harbor Lights will be con-
