MADAME MODJESKA.
The Actress Arrives at Los Angeles
En- Route to Her Ranch.

En- Route to Her Ranch.
LOS ANGELES, March 29-Madame
Nodjeska, accompanied by her hus-
band, Count Bozenta, arrived here this
evening They will remain in the city
until the Countess has had time to rest
from the fatigue of the journey, after
which they will proceed to Modjeska's s
country seat, Arden, in the Santiago
Canyon, Orange County.
The great actress shows plainly the
effects of her recent illness, from which
she has not full y recovered, although
she is gradually growing stronger. Her
left arm is paralyzed and hangs limp
and helpless at her side. The paralysis
was caused, the doctors say, by clot of
blood in the shoulder, the result, pre-
sumably, of over-exertion while playing
at Cincinnati 1t was on orders of her
physicians, who recommended door
air and absolute rest, mentally and
physically, that she decided to go to
her ranch
Yes, l expect to be able to return to
the stage" said the Countess, in answer
to question. Il am sure that this
genial climate will soon restore me to
perfect health"
Although Modjesha left the home of
her son in Chicago a few days ago, she
knew nothing of the attempt to kidnap
her grandchild, information being kept
from her so as not 20 unduly excite her
Count Bozenta said it was evidently
the act of some crank, who was not
moved by malice toward Nine Mod
jeska, but was making trouble for her
son and family from pure motives of
mischief, or some insane freak.

Senator Sherman may be right in his
contention that the provision to change
the fee system of paying United States
marshals. deputies and attorneys
should not be tackled onto the end of
an appropriation bill. but when he
argues that the fee system is prefer
able to paying regular salaries. We
cannot agree with him. 1t seems to us
that the arguments in Congress against
the fee system have by far the bet
ter of the controversy. The fee system
may encourage vigilance but it also
puts the official in the light of not be-
ing smart If he does not make the most
possible out of it. Under the old order
of things the official gets more in the
way of fees, travelling expenses, etc,
by dra gging an alleged offender as far
away from the place of his arrest as
possible. But the government doesn't

more than his just punishment.

setts delegates can depend upon it that
when they come home their constit-
uents will want to know the reason
why.

convention is even more significant.
