old girl, is missing from her home, 3S1

relatives are greatly worried. Her

He describes the girl as being very
pretty. Wit large eyes and a braid OF
golden hair that extends below her waist,
The last seen of Dora was on Monday,
when she left her home, saying she was
going to Grand street, this city, to make
some purchases. When she did not re-

that some man. attracted by her beauty,
got her to run away from home by pre-
tending that he could secure her an en-
gagement.

THE GREAT INDEPENDENT DAILY.

The HERALD is an exceedingly modest
paper or its head would be turned by
the tremendous acclaim of popular ia
vor which has greeted it during the past
two weeks. 1t is no exaggeration to say
that our daily circulation has run mp
fully ak thousand during that period.
1t is increasing at a wonderful rate in
the city outside OF the sales, in which
latter the increase has been phenomenal,
sometimes reaching nearly $50 day
over our counter. Great as is the in
crease Of our circulation in the city, in
some portions of the country it has been
more than four hundred per cent during
the past two weeks. Nothing like it has
ever been known in this lower country.
1t would be unjust to ourselves were we
not to say that our position on the ques-
tions OF the day has hit the public ap-
probation between wind and water.

Los ANGELES THEATER.-The benefit
to Mrs. Carrie Clark-Ward last night
drew thin house. and the perform.
ance WAS exceedingly laughable. Itwas
80 bad as to keep everybody in roar OF
laughter, which was one means for
them to get their moneys worth. The
original cast and attractions, as adver-
tised, failed to msterislize, and The
Long Strike was given with o new ag-
gregation of talent which was simply
irresistible. The performers were so
evidently new to their lines that the
spectators good-humoredly INDUCED
them to the top OF their bent. AS given,
the play was worth q dozen orthodox
performances. During the performance
Mrs. Alice Shaw favored the audience
with some superb whistling numbers.
and one OF the Baldwin children sang
character song quite cleverly.
