THE MARCH OF PROGRESS

Few people realize the rapidity with
history is made nowadays. The applica :
tion OF natural forces to the needs and
uses of mankind in matters of transpor-
tatiop and communication hes male it
possible for one to accomplish as much in
a day as his grandfather. fifty years ago.
could do in month. Thought seems to
have developed in like ratio. and advan-
ces are made on liberal lines tnat are
simply astounding when compared with
the easy progress of former generations.
Fifteen years ago tho electric light was
more of a novelty than necessity. 1t
was in use then, of course. and, unlike
the ordinary coming event. it cast the
bright rays of it's possibilities before it.
Today it is necessity for which domes-
tic economy makes the same provision
that it does for food or raiment. Who
would listen for moment to a PROPOSE
tion to dispense with electric light on
public streets, in thesters and places of
public amusement and on the sole ground
that it Is more trying to women's COM
pexions than gas light? Yet this argu-
ment was seriously advanced against the
probability of the general use of electric
itv for that purpose-and the argument
was looked upon, by those who advanced
it. as absolutely unanswerabe. But the
light still shines.
A few years ago the bicycle became a
fad with few amateur athletic enthus-
lasts. Little by little the use of the
wheel was extended, until now it is a
practical necessity. When the idea was
first suggested of making wheels for ladies
the manufacturers protested that it
would be impossible, or at least impracti-
cable. The greater weight needed for a
drop frame was directly antagonistic to
the perpetual strife for the lightness de-
manded by the users of the diamond
frame.
The proposition that presented itself
to the female cyclist then resolved itself
into choice between two things either
to ride the heavier wheel and get what
sport was possible out of 1t, or to dress
for the lighter machine. And here is
where the rapidity of this day and gener-
alton counts. A year ago-even now
timid people are discussing and wonder
ing whether the bloomer girl is to be
taken seriously. Open your eyes and
look about you. The time is past for
speculating and arguing about the mat
ter. The bloomer girl is here, and she is
here to stay as long as the wheel does.
While few of her timorous sisters were
asking themselves what they could do to
put themselves more nearly on par with
their brothers in the use of the silent
steed. the true enthusiast unhestatingly
cut the Gordian knot. With bike and
bfurcation" as her motto. she rode forth
to conquer, and she has won a complete
victory. The time for thinking, asking
or guessing about the bloomer costume is
past. 1t was only yesterday that We
were speculating. Today the bloomer
girl is as much of fact as if she had ex-
listed for centuries.

uses. 1t is against the principles Of Am
ercan business methods to shut out any
number of buyers from what is supposed
to be an open market.
That large number of buyers are shut
out of the market by the closed market
method no one can ueny. This is unfair
not only to the small dealers but more
than unjust to the fruit growers who by
this method are left to the mercy of n
small number of buyers. 1t is an easy
matter for few large buyers to control
the market by combining in their bids.
Strange to say few fruit growers still
favor the closed auctions. though they
are in the minority and every meeting
which Mr.. Weinstock has addressed has
adopted resolutions to the effect that they
pledge their support to the Califor-
MA Fruit Growers and Shippers asso-

AT THE THEATERS
SeeoSeeeeeoeeceeeeceeee

Los Angeles Theater.- Hoyt's Black
Sheep jumped into the field last night
before large and delighted audience; it
was bell-wether, too. and his name vas
Hot Stuff. The farce itself, like all the
| other Hoyt farces, has just enough OF
| story to hold it together. and the play
bill distinctly disclaims any intention or
desire on the part Of the author that it
| should teach a moral. The first and last
acts are distinctly the best, and the
former. laid in the bar room of hotel
IN Tom bstone, Ariz.. is full of local color,
clever business. funny situations and
unique lines. In it OTIS Harland does an
extremely good piece of work as wild
and woollys cowboy. in which he is ably
backed UP by the rest of the company.
To be sure. the language is plain and to
the point. the action ditto, and drinks
fights. shotgurs and various other
amenities known to belong indisrensably
to Arizona life, are used by Mr.. Hoyt
with most telling eeffct.
Hot Stuff's one and unfailing remedy
for Joy or sorrow, surprise or anger, is
drink, and one after another are tossed
into his mouth with an alacrity that Is
only equaIled by Its artlessness. and he
never bites one--each drink Is taken like
pill. whole. He sings several songs,
too, beween drinks, that are new and
catchy. and they caught last night hard
and fast.
William De We're. as the editor OF the
Tombstone inscription, was another bril-
liant bit of color in the first act. His un
failing habit of drinking before writing
and the manner of acquiring his drinks
! must be seen to be appreciated; likewise
his cheerful Eabit of going cunning for
delinquent subscribers, and one of his
brief but pithy editorials that he read
aloud was an epic, and convinced even
the untamed Hot Stuff that even New
York. alive, was better than Tom bstone,
dead-from hanging.
New York. and Mr.. Stuff had just re-
turned from abroad he was no longer
Hot he was haccid and supine and dis
tinctly Anglo; he sang some more songs
and told wierd tales about his year
abroad, in which he had not only seen
Europe, but taught it thing or two. OF
course Mr.. Harlan is the show, the rest
revolve about him; there is the usual
contingent of pretty girls. and in the
| short dresses and tights of the first and
third acts they are great deal more at
tractive than in the shirt waists and long
skirts of the more conventional and un-
interesting second act. Some of them
dance extremely well, and there are one
! or two better than good male voices in tho
company.
The Black Sheep seemed 20 bc all and
more than might be expected of such a
member OF the flock last light, and it will
continue to pambol and cavort tho rest
of the week. including Saturday matinee.

THAT INDIE MNITY

China is said to be willing to pay any

the outrages perpetrated upon the Eng

latter themselves are willing to have a
liberal indemnity paid, but also
desire the European powers to administer
such other Punishment as will be d lesson

the principles of absolute justice that
some such steps should be taken. one

The wind-up of the Bannock Indian
scare shows that great deal OF smoke
was caused by very little ire. AS with
every Indian outbreak that has resulted
in the loss of human life, there is much
that could be said in extenuation of the
actions of each side, and there is always
great deal that can be said on the red
mans side of the question. Until this
government adopts policy of absolute
EXTERN mination. than which there could
be nothing more barbarous. or treats the
Indians as true wards of the government
and protects them in their rights, we
may look for an outbreak every time the
cupdity and rapacity Of the white agents
and contractors exceed the limits of an
Indian s idea of decency.
