Johnstone Bcnnctt's Fads.

tombstone Bennett, the original Amer
lean Jane, is an actress of many fads.
Her principal one Is cleanliness. ITO be
clcan,' she says, sis my creed. 1 like to
radiate cleanliness around me-" and from
her manicured finger tips to her bay rum
cropped head the masculine little woman
is living example Of what she admires
most. Another fad Is shirt fronts and
she cherishes partiality for masculine
vests and scant, plain skirts. She is also
mannishly devoted to poker, and sho will
stake her entire company, costumes and
all and stay up all night when she gets
particularly interested in this fascinating
game. A third fad Is amateur photog-
raphy, but this is SO perfectly rabid
mania-with the little comedienne just at
present that sho does not even dare to
trust herself out of doors with the kodak
for fear she will be tempted to snap it at
the first acquaintance sho meets.

This will break a railroad monopoly that

THE NEW ADJUTANT GENERAL
r1ajor Owens and General Johnson Both
in Favor of Captain Barrett


Certain rumors have gained ground con-
cerning the recent appointment of Captain
A. W. Barrett as Acknowledgement of the
state National guard, the general trend
of which is that the genial and consci-
entious captain did not exert to the ut
most. his endeavors to OBTAIN the honor
for his Republican rival in the feld. If
Captain Barrett had returned from the
north yesterday as was expected the com
plcations might easily have been cleared
away, but Captain Barrett won't leave
Sacramento before next Saturday and the
authentic and perhaps less prejudced
explanations OF Major M. Il. Owens and
General f. 2. Johnson will be somewhat

was found surrounded by the pomp and
ceremony of his police court setting yes

the honest intention Of working for Cap

Governor Budd pad made up his mind
definitely tc give the appointment to a
Grand Army nan-that it lay between
himself and Captain Chalmers Scott.
stationed at San Diego, and consequently
when he found there was no hope for
Captain Dritiil he had accepted the office
himself.
General Johnson was comfortably seated
in leather upholstered oak chair in his
commodlous office in the Los Angeles
Furniture company. and he reiterated
what Major Owens had said. Being a
Republican himself. he was naturally in
favor of Captain Driffi's having the ap-
pointment. but he acknowledged that it
was equally natural for Governor Budd to
make his choice from his own party, from
Il Grand Army man, and General John
son declared in plain terms that he, with
others, had wired Captain Barrett week
before the appointment was made, ad-
vising him warmly to accept the adjutant-
generalship.
