A san Bernardino Hotel Burned.

San Bernardino, July 4-The Arrowhead
hotel, one of the noted tourist resorts of
Southern California. burned TO the ground
this afternoon. The cause of the fire,
which started in the eupola, IS as yet I'M
known. The structure, which was built
wholly of wood and stood up on an emil
nence at the base OF the Sierra Madre
mountains, was entirely consumed in a
short time, a strong wind blowing at the
time. There were about fifty guests IN
the hotel. and many of them were away
and few of their effects were saved. The
loss cannot now be estimated. The build
ing cost $1,000; insured for $4,000. The
hotel was owned by a stock company OF
Los Angeles men.

The name of the talented Paul
inc Lucca is one which thrills the
heart of the experienced opera-goer.
Almost forgotten now, she was the
queen of the operate world for nearly
thirty years, with the music-lovers of
Europe at her feet. 1t has been said
that Emma Calve is the only real Car
men who has been seen since the days
of Lucca, and in that sterling COM
pliment is paid to both women. Paul
inc Lucca has dropped so completely
out of public sight in recent years that
the new generation knows little or
nothing about her except, perhaps,
that her name has a familiar ring
Yet it was only seven years ago that
she astounded the musical world by
suddenly stepping down and retiring
into the quiet of her home
Since then she has been seen but
little in public. With the skill of &
rare artist she has managed to engulf
| herself in quiet and stiffness, forming
| a complete contrast to the ravishing
Pauline Lucca of few years ago, who
had the cities of the continent eternal
ly waging war with each other as to
which should have the wonderful
singer for a season. In the retired
circle in which she moves she is no
longer even known as Pauline Lucca,
but as the Baroness Wallhoffen.
But notwithstanding her fifty or
sixty years, it might be unfair to the
lady to particularize further. Pauline
Lucca today is as handsome and as
dainty as of old. She walks regularly
each day up and down the Ring street,
Vienna, as graceful as ever, with the
same careless swing of her pretty
| figure and with the bloom of health
on a face which shows no trace of
time. She is a trif1e stouter than ten
or twenty years back, and she dresses
! fashionably, like the rest of the
wealthy Viennese femininity.
| 1t was Pauline Lucca's strange eyes
which helped to make her famous

THE WINNER

race settled down to a speed contest
between this machine and the Mueller
and the Macy vehicles. The race was
rather even until the streets in the
northwestern part of the city were
reached Here the slushy snow was
two feet deep in some places and at
others the mud was so bad that it
was almost impossible to make any
progress. 1t was here that the Duryea
machine showed the staying qualities.
Frederick U. Adams, who had charge
of the race, said that the contest was
satisfactory in every particular and
that the tests threw those made re-
Gently in France far in the rear. He
said: ''The Paris-BordeauX race was
worthless from a scientific standpoint,
but the contest Of today may result
in the establishment of good data con-
corning what many believe the
vehicle of the future. The progress
of the preliminary tests has been
watched by thousands of manu-
facturers in every part of the world
and there is no doubt that there will
be a great interest in the manufacture
of these horseless vehicles now that
it has been demonstrated what can be
done with them"

and they have lost none of their
weirdness. They are a peculiar light
blue in color, and flash and scintillate
when she talks with never-ceasing
brilliancy. Bismarck, it was said,
fell in love with her eyes, but that is
a separate story and a very interest
ing one just now, because of a book
which has just appeared in Paris en-
titled Bismarck and Women. It is
written by Adolphe Kohut, warm
friend of the German statesman.
Those whose memories reach back
thirty years to 1865 will remember a
great deal of talk about Pauline Lucca
and Bismarck. She was the greatest
singer of the day and he the greatest
statesman. They knew each other
well, and ever-meddling rumor limited
too we'll. Matters were brought to a
focus when photographs appeared on
sale in Berlin showing Lucca and Bis
marck in the picture This photo
graph caused so much talk that Bis
marck had the negative destroyed and
as many of the pictures as he could
discover.
There are several stories told to ex-
plain how Bismarck and Lucca came
to be photographed together. Lucca
tells one-a nice, discreet, plausible
explanation, and Kohut, the friend Of
Bismarck, in his book also tells one
equally nice, discreet and plausible,
but quite different. Less discreet
friends of the two say that both
stories are equally wrong but never
theless they will be given here.
Lucca described it only the other
day in this way: walking out one
morning in Berlin l met Prince Bis
marck. We were good friends and
walked along together, but a swarm Of
humanity recognized us both and
clustered about us, pushing us one
way and then the other. 1t was in
tensely disagreeable for both Of US,
and the demonstration was becoming
larger every minute. We pushed our
way into the nearest doorway, hoping
to escape from the crowd, but some
of them pushed their way into the
hallway. We could do nothing but
knock at the nearest door and ask
fo~ admittance, which Prince Bis
marck did 1t happened to be the

for the race scarcely could have been
worse. During the blizzard a foot of
snow and sleet fell. The thaw made
the roads for part of the distance

the returned picture, but some years
ago she exhibited to 4 chosen friend a
letter long and affectionate, the sig
nature to which was twisted almost
into illegibllity, but was still like that
of Bismarck's Bismarck was living
at Vaszin at the time the picture was

tells about the taking of the photo
