AT THE THEATERS
<>>>o>>>> >>>>>>>> o>>>><>>

The Burbank.-Bouccicau great
drama, The Octoroon, was excellently per-
formed. taken as a wnole, by handsome
Ethel Brandon and the Cooper company
last night at this favorite play house. and
the cast was equal to all requirements.
The piece is superior to anything
produced by the present copmany for
many months past. Miss Brandon seems
to stimulate the members of the COM
pany to something more than ordinary
in its success. Though The Octoroon Is
a piece that has been produced off and on
for quarter of a century, the public
never tires of it. 1t has not lost IT'S pres
tige. Miss Brandon, as Zoe, an octoroon
girl, is cast to her liking and plays the
part perfectly, and great is the admiration
for the play by her auditors. The clever
actress contrives to increase her popular
ity with every performance. Never was
there a more conscientious and painstak-
ing woman before the footlighGs. Last
night she was superior to her character,
and that is a com pliment that can rarely
ne paid with truth to any actor or actress.
The remaining parts were IN their
several roles capable. Mr.. Carl Berch, as
usual, comes in for fafora ole criticism,
the part seems to suit him as Jacob Nc
ClosKy. ana he fills 1t well. He has
plenty to do and he does not overact his
role, nor does he make cDarse the charac-
ter, as some actors do that assume that
role. George Woodthorpe acted her
part of Paul, "a yellow boy, SO true tn life
and carried out the character as the
author would have it so well that she was
the recipient OF frequent aGd generous
applause. Alice Saunders, as Mrs. Pey-
ton. is easy and natural. and Miss laura
Adams made a good Dora Sunnyside.
Harry Llewellyn gave an excellent inter-
pretation OF Captain Ratt. Thi young
gentleman is rapidly improving in his
acting, and he has done some very good
work OF late. William Bennett as Salem
Scuoder was entirely convincing in the
part ana he deserves the highest com
mendation. There Is charming atmos-
phere about the pece-a simple, pure
sentiment which is constantly in evidence
and admirably understood oy the peo-
pie who act it. The large audience last
evening applauded, laughed, were touched
and moved as the movement of the play
called for, and there was thoroughly
genuine interest displayed which extend
ed to the personnel of the company-es-
pecially the star. Miss Ethel Brandon,
who plays with such remarkable ease and
grace. The scenery was very good and
the mechanical effects acceptable. The

MISUNDERSTANDING EXPORTS

American manufacturers are beginning
to turn their attention to foreign markets
and are meeting with success even be-
yond their expectations. There is no
doubt that our manufacturers can not
only pay higher wages to their worKmen
but turn out better goods at lower prices
than can the European manufacturers.
This is due largely to the fact that while
our workmen are paid more for given
length OF time, they in that time perform
much more labor and produce an article
OF finer finish and therefore more market
able. The recent financial depression was
a "bleising in disguise" in that it
caused our manufacturers to seek wider
market for their products.
Not only are we finding the markets Of
Europe open to many OF our manuiac-
tured goods, but our raw products as we'll.
Commenting on the latter the New York
World says:
England bought her first cargo of iron
dir ect from Ohio several months ago,
and yesterdays dispatches report the
shipment of second cargo.
Such facts if isolated might be trivial,
but they are not isolated. 1he activity in
exports of metals is marked and it is
heaviest exports of copper previous to
1894 were So, 453 600 pounds. During the
fiscal year 1895 we exported l46 600, 900
pounds, and the demand is still growing
with the growth OF industries depend-
ing on the great development of electric
ity.
In an article on the Turning of the Tide
In Trade printed in the North American
Review Mr.. Worthington c. Ford, chief
of the federal bureau of statistics, points
out that our exports of iron for
1895 nave broken the record. as in the
case of copper. In 1894 they reached
$50 600, 900 and in 1898 have exceeded
that figure hv $1,000. 00O while in 1882.
year, v hich had not since been ex-
ceeded. they amounted to only $3O 900, 0oo.
These exports consist largely of manu-
factures of iron and steel. the most de-
sirabe goods to sell abroad. as they rep
resent the product of the highest class of
skilled labor.
There is no doubt at all that with

CHEAP FUEL

fPrior to the discovery of oil in this city
the question of cheap fuel was the upper
most topic in the minds of all business
men. There was much talk of building a
railroad up into Southern Utah with a
view to reach the coal fields found there.
1t was argued that by such means good
coal for steam purposes could be laid
down mere for about So a ton, and that
manufacturing, with that advan tage,
would spring up on every hand. The
difference between SIS and $40 ton. it
was thought, would afford ample induce
ment for the investment Of capital in va.
Fious enterprises.
The marvellous development of Pc
troleum right IN our n idst and in such
abundance, has. to the surprise of every
body, solved the cheap fuel question in q
most satisfactory manner. Good fuel,
without any transportation at all, at one
fourth its former and ordinary cost, is
now supplied IN quantities sufficient for
all conceivable purposes. Such a wind
fall never before visited city, and the
question now is, will we take advantage
of it?
Los Angeles is situated off in one cor
u6T OI buo " llOlI, Jul OIl Ouo VI III o
worlds great highways. Her isolation
makes the production of many articles OF
manufacture here most desirable, and it
would be difficult to imagine more favor
able circu cu.nstances for the establishment
of factories than exist here. There is un-
questionably an abundance of idle capital
in or within reach of Los Angeles. This
is indicated by the presence among us of
some twenty fourishing banks. 1t may
not be flattering to our business men who
make up boards of trade and cham bers 8
of CONNIE that there are more banks
than factories. Money in bank is unpro-
ductive; it is useless; it gives no en- ploy-
ment to labor; it feeds no hungry people :;
it makeJ no one happy, not even its
owner, for to him it is source of care
and anxiety.
The efforts OF the oil men to secure a
wider market are in keeping with the
progressive spirit which has always char
acterized the people of Los Angeles, and
they should receive the hearty support of
the people. However, more effort should
be made to secure a wider market at
home. One factory in Los Angeles using
oil as a fuel and employing 200 employees
is worth more to this city than three or
four factories in San Francisco which
only contribute to the income OF our city
by payment for the amount of oil they
use as fuel. More effort should be made
to secure home factories. Los Angeles is
rapidly approaching the point where IA
wider field of employment for her work
men is necessary.

DEFECTS OF CITY GOVERNMENT AND THEIR REMEDY
BY ABBOT KINNEY

New York has been constantly under an
irresponsible tyranny called TAmmany.
This centralized power entirely outside
tho charter has run and robbed the city.
In San francisco we have had a similar
experience. That city has long, COM
plex charter that leaves the city govern
ment without any possible unity or
force. The result is a series of bosses.
Sometimes these are under the Demo.
cratic party like Buckley, at others under
Kelly and Crimmins. The popular up
rising that drove out the blind devil only
made room for seven other devils worse
than the first. Kelly Il Crlmmins was
firm of saloon men who added the rum
ming of San Francisco city to their liquor
business. These men at ons time did
run the city from mayor and superior
judges down to fixing street sweeping
contracts. What was it that enabled
them to do this? We answer, weak sys.
tenn for the people and strong central
lized system founded on personal gain
for Kelly Il Crimmins. That an igno-
rant and brutally vulgar clique should
have used the great city OF San Francisco
for personal profit SO long shows that the
city system is open to improvement in
tnat place.
1t would be q great feather IN the cap
of Los Angeles to be the first American
city to cut completely loose from buodle
politics. 1t would advertise us largely.
1t would place every other American city
at disadvantage and by SO uch increase
the proportionate rapidity of our growth
and true progress.
My prediction for city reform is the
application of the federal system, that
is an elected chief magistrate, an elected
legislative body; all the city judges ap-
pointed all chiefs of departments ap-
pointed ana all subordinates, police. fire.

CRISPI'S COAT OF MAIL,
The Italian Prime Minister Fears Assassi-
nation and is Always Armored.

Premier Crispi Of Italy, it is interesting
tC know, has recently made preparations
TO defend himself against possible assassi,
nation. Ever since the last attempt upon
his life this eXcitable prime minister has
been in constant state of alarm, and
he fears a dagger or bullet at almost
every corner and upon every occasion.
To ease his mind he has lately had made
for him coat of chain mail, such as
the chevaliers wore in the Middle ages,
which he wears under his outer shirt
1t is very light, exceedingly solid and
of double thickness over the heart. Its
power of resistance is such that not only
will ii afford protection aginst the slen>
derest of stilettos, but a revolver bullet
cannot penetrate it. In workmanship it
is a beautiful piece of construction, and
so flexible and easy to wear that it Oc-
casions no discomfort to the noted man
who dons it. Probably it is the finest
coat of chain mail ever manufactured,
for it has all the improvements of mod
ern armor combined with the utility and
strength of the medieval metal gar
ments.
The cleverest of the clever armorers
of Naples (who, by the way should hence,
forth be known as the ''Armorsuit Poole'0
constructed it, and only charged the prime
minister 600 francs ($120), a marvelously
low price for such a unique garment
