THERE are not lacking great many

THERE are not lacking great many
eigns that the present season will be a
notably peculiar one from meteorologi-
cal point OF view. Some weeks ago we
had in Los Angeles weather that was
absolutely OF the selected eastern mid
summer type. 1t was humid and in
suffsrahle. 1t was precisely such weather
as one go often and, indeed, continu-
ously encounters in st. Louis and
Chicago, and which makes it impos-
sible even to sleep o'nights. That lasted
for four or five days. And, indeed, it
was fortunate it did not last any longer.
In San Francisco last week we had even
a more remarkable visitation of the
weather clerk, noticeably on Saturday.
and substantially tho same weather has
prevailed at the Golden Gate during the
nast three weeks. On the date named
the mercury rose to SO degrees in the
shade, and remained at that figure for a
large portion of the day. This is an
incredible figure for the Golden Gate,
where. in July. an ovefcoat is always a
necessity.

ing's performance.
Mr., Royle has in rehearsal Q new play
in which he will appear next year.
s*x
The Unity church. in spite of good at
fractions elsewhere. was the scene of
the moet remarkable concert that has
been given here in years. by the bsnjo
virtuoso. Albert Farlsnd. He is young
fellow OF about 26 summers, whose exc
cution is something bordering on the
marvellous. He played the allegro
vivacs from the last half of Rossini's
overture to William Tell with degree
OF expression that cannot he be de
ecribed. An encore greeted him and he
responded with Auld Lang Syns with
brilliant variations.
His second work was with one of
Beethoven's sonatas in which ne fairly
outdid himself, and gave one of Chopin's
nocturnee and berceuse for an encore.
His third selection was one of Mendes-
sohn's concertos for the violin in which
he dwarfed everything but Musin and
Remenji by comparison. He then gave
the Miserere from Trovatore and one of
Haydn's sonatas as encores.
The vocal part OF the concert was very
good, especially the closing quartette,
and Miss Jessie Padgham's song If Thou
clear soprano fairly revelled.
Mr.. Farland ie certainly an excep-
tional performer and his solos are some
thing beyond the comprehension of
those who have not heard him. The
HERALD trusts this will not be this
talented young gsntleman's last ap-
pearance in this city.

Another Burglary.

"Where are we at?" was the expression
used by business man Saturday morn
ing when it was announced that the of
flee of Russell and March had been en-
tered by burglars, for the second time
within week, and the third time with
in month that they had suffered from
the visits of midnight marauders. This
time the visitors seemed inclined to do
some damage if nothing more. and at
least $3.50 will be needed to put things
back into shape.
The thieves entered the office
through door on the back side, con
veniently near to which was an empty
freight car. With a large carpenters
Ratchet they opened the door, which was
comparatively ruined. The lattice gate
which opens into the private part of the
Office was opened. Once inside of that,
the money drawer was torn off, but no
money was in it and the drawer was left
on the floor.
The desk over the safe was pulled up
and hole about Z of an inch drilled
through the top of the safe. This was
filled with powder, Judging from the APP
pearance, which when it exploded did
not blow off the door, but broke both the
hinges. The bolts in the lock held it,
and when Mr.. March went to swing it
open, it fell to the floor. The books
which were in the safe were injured
by the burning powder, as was the cas-
ing on the side. There was no money in
the safe, the firm having taken the pre-
caution to deposit the afternoon before.
One or two parties who live near the
Office say that they heard a peculiar
noise about three o'clock in the morning
but did rot Investigate it.
When the officers arrived there they
found in the freight car, the Ratchet a
carpenters bit stock, and large monkey
wrench. They were identified by m arks
on them as being the same that were
used at time the attempt was
made to open the safe of E. E. Hart & Co.
year or more ago; these were then
taken from the tool house of the rail-
road company and afterward returned to
it.
There were no clues left, but some of
the parties who are employed in the
works, had noticed several times Il
couple of tramps hanging around there.
Deputies Godfrey and Nash arrested
three Saturday morning and confined
them in Jail, and it is surmised that one
of them knows more about the matter
than he cares to tell.
