"Say. my FRIEND" said one OF them to
Miller, don't fool with that there for
you're liable to strain yourself and in
iure yourself for life."
But Miller pranced up to the dumb
bell and prepared to grasp it. A by
stander remarked sotto voce, that no
man on earth could lift that piece of
iron.
Suddenly Miller bent down, grasped
the immense piece of metal with his
left hand and in a moment be was twirl-
ing it about in mid air. He was as easy
as if he only had toothpick in his
fingers, and the crowd stood open
mouthed.
At last. after tossing the 00.pound
weight about for five minutes, he put it
down and offered to bet any one he
could lift it with two fingers, but there
were no takers.
Miller wants it understood that he
will bet anything up to $1,000 that no
can lift heavier weights than any other
man, and will Internationally give any
one 800 who lifts dumb-bells that he

been exactly doubled. The $40. 900, 900
of bonds of Guatemala have been in
creased practically to $50, 100000. That
country bore bravely up under the i'm
position OF a light increase, and continued
to pay her interest in gold but now that
che has to sell 81 100000, let us say, in
silver in order to procure gold to pay
$500. 900 interest, she fnds that she has
to assume a burden which, through art
ificiaI causes, has been made greater
than she can bear.
Guatemala starts the ball. She will
be followed by other Central and South
American states, and we doubt very
much whether Mexico will be able to
stand the enormous imitation against her
very long. The bonded indebtedness OF
all these states cannot be less than
billion of dollars, and the
securities are mainly held in
England, France and Germany. Per-
haps two-thirds of all the bonds are held
in England. Germany is q very large
holder of Mexican and South American
bonds. 1t is about time that Emperor
William WAS giving serious attention to
the question of bimetallism. Germany
lie more responsible for the universal de-
probation OF silver than even England.
When she received five miIliards in gold
from France she thought she was doing
a smart and profitable thing by demone-
tizing silver. Perhaps William will see
in the light of events that are inevitable
that she made great mistake. When
all the silver republics OF this continent
make stand against liquidating their
debts by paying two dollars for one, the
monometallists of Europe will become
sensible to the folly. even if they have
no sense OF the immortality of their
course.
England will, of course, be the great
est loser in the refusal of the silver
countries of this continent to pay their
debts twice over. Will she attempt to
follow the course with them that she
did with Egypt--tske possession of the
countries and undertake to pay their
creditors by managing their finances
herself? That would hardly be
looked upon with equanimity by the
United States. There may arise out of
this question many opportunities to put
the idea of the Monroe doctrine into
practice.
But perhaps the trouble will not reach
such an extreme. The people everywhere
are getting their eyes widely opened to
the infsmy of the conspiracy that has
demonetized one half of the metallic
wealth of the world.
They begin to see that the gold policy
will make the rich richer, and impover-
ish the productive classes. But the OBJ
ject lessons the former are in the way of
receiving from the silver-using countries
will do more TO make them stop in their
beadlong career OF destruction than any
argument, however logical and unan-
swerable, which the Dimetalliste can
advance - Guatemsla's action is the
handwriting on the wall.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Los ANGELES THEATER.-On Monday
next the Calhoun Opera company will
commence a short engagement at the
Los Asseles uh~~ter, which will deserve
to draw patrons from uIl usisuUUrIng
places.
The Calhoun company appeared here
last year and made most pronounced
success. and it now returns, greatly inn
proved in all particulars. 1t consists
now of 45 artists, orchestra and ballet,
and is provided throughout with new
costumes. properties, and the requisite
special scenery, so that it is far superior
to the average organization in every re-
spect.
A most excellent selection of operas
has been made for the engagement.
On Monday TIE Black Hussar will be
given with an entr' Rcte. q new dance
by the noted BrAccee sisters, and the
celebrated Husssr march in the third
act by two.score shapely young women.
On Tuesday the sentiment stirring,
melodious Bohemian Girl, and on
Wednesday for a matinee the quaint,
wittv Mikado, with Said Pasha to close
the engagement on Wednesday night.
This last opera is one on which the COM
pany particularly prides itself, and 10
given with all the requisite accessories.
Among those who will appear are
Laura Clements, who scored nit here
when she appeared with Lillian Rus
cells company; Julia Calhoun, Beatrice
Mckenzie, Douglas Flint, Kirkland Cal
houn, Otis b. Thayer, Alex. Thompson
and the Braccee sisters, danseuses.
There is good reason to expect most
pleasing performances from this excel
lent organization, which is in all points
thoroughly we'll equipped and perfectly
drilled.
Los ANGELES THEATER.-There was
good audience last night at the presen-
tation of Ole Oleson, with James L. Nc
Alpine in the title role. The play ie
quite we'll liked and it seemed to please
last night as it has often done before.
The songs aud dances were received with
| enthusiastic applause and the eccentric

noticed. The yodling of Mr.. McAlpine
was exceedingly we'll done, and he waE

brother, reused the laughing suscepti.
bilities OF the audience to the hiehest
pitch. Miss Dolly Foster was very cum
ming in her part of Genie Dimple. The
company gave the play with smooth,
ness and it was evidently much enjoyed
by the entire audience. There will be
