sibly effect the western abutment Of
the bridge which is only few yards
away from the heart Of the confia-
grafton and imbedded in the culm.
This second fire seems to be fiercer
than the first. judging from the vol
ume of smoke and gas which is emitted
and the cracking of the confiagratiOn.
1t is proposed to flood the pit dug last
year in the hopes that the water will
percolate to the region Of the fire in
sufficient volume to extinguish 1t. II
this fails the company will be put to
the expense of deepening and extend
ing the excavation. which may be a
very costly operation, as 1t is possible
that the fire covers a greet area. The
city will also take steps to fight the
fire and protect the bridge abutment
but just what means will De adopted
has not been decided upon.

NOT EVEN STANDING ROOM.
Immense Crowds at Davis Theatre
at Both Performances Yesterday.

At SIS O'clock last night, when the
curtain went up at Davis theatre the
box office window went down. Not even
standing room could be purchased.
Hundreds were turned away at both
afternoon and evening performances.
1t was the biggest days business the
house ever witnessed and 1t will stand
as the biggest as long as the dimen-
siOns of the house remain the same. as
it will be simply impossible to crowd
any more in than were there last night.
1t was a good stroke on the part of
the management to put on such an ex-
cellent show as Boy Blue" during the
holidays, as there are always some in
the house on a holiday who were never
there before. They will carry away
good impression and can be counted
upon to be regular patrons.

dear Santa please don't forget.
1t has often happened in previous
years that some benevolently inclined
gentleman would constitute himself
Santa Claus, claim the letters and re-
spOnd to them as far as he possibly
could. This year has been an exception
but 1t Is not too late yet Last year a
well-tO-dO drummer who Is bachelor,
but withal fond Of children, undertook
the task and succeeded SO well that he
said he wouldn't have missed 1t for ten
times what 1t cost him. and that is
merely the enjoyment he got out of 1t.

current" then, in the words of the icon
gresham, Where are we at?"

There Is one popularity In which Los
Angeles audiences differ widely with
eastern theater-goers. When great
actor or a good play has pleased ain au-
dience elsewhere, at the final dropof the
curtain the audience remain in their
seats and extend a,recall to the players.
Here we get up and make for the door
as quick as the CERTAIN falls. Well
known actors, accustomed to this final
tribute to their genius, have been sorely
puzzled by this habnt of the Angeleno.
The herald., 1896-08-09

The Los Angeles Theater will be closed
during the coming week, and in conse-
Quence the Orpneum will have every
thing it's own way.
There has never been a better aggre-
cation of vaudeville attractions brought
together in one show than that promised
for this week at this house. The new
bill comprises more star features and
of a greater variety than was ever pre-
sented here before. The management
takes considerable pride in announcing
the engagement of the widely-known
favorite, Lydia Yeamans Titus. Lydia
Titus has made herself famous as an
impersonator of small children. She will
bring to the Los Angeles public this
speciality, together with a complete new
repertoire of songs. Mrs. Titus will be
assisted by the popular singer, Fred j.
Titus The united work of this accom-
plished team has received the warmest
praise from the press and public in San
Francisco, where they have just COM
pleted long engagement.
Every one will have hearty welcome
for Ross Snow, the tramp comedian,
who made such a hit here in Rice's 1492
company. Snow cannot be described.
His humor is part of him and the role
of the familiar character known as
tramp is well adapted to bring out his
peculiar genius. The tramp comedian

The new opera by Mascagni entitled
the Japanese Girl. says the Musical
Courier, is based on very poetical and
fanciful libretto by Illica Among the
characters represented are a doll,
screen-that is, the figures painted
thereon-the sun, lotus flower. and the
Fates. Among human personages are
a pair of Japanese lovers, and a cruel
father whose cruelty is of no avail, but
who has ultimately to hand his daugh-
ter over to the detested lover. There
are also some low comedy characters.

HARRISON'S $4,000 LOG CABIN
The Ex.President's Summer Home on One Of
the Adirondack Lakea

Ex-President Harrison's summer
nome on one of the lakes of the Adrion-
dacks will be a log cabin similar to the
cabins that were used as living apart
ments in his grandfather's time but his
Will cost more than $4,000 when finished.
Plans have been prepared for the camp
and other buildings, and work has been
begun on the foundation. The cottage,
or camp, as it is called, will stand
short distance from Indian Point. which
is near the head of First lake. Last sum-
mer Gen. Harrison occupied the Dodd
camp, which is further back from the
main land. Where he is building is con-
slaered. hO,. o'iia ae "a nd. v.eNodFo,an-- -ha
All of the buildings will be made from
logs hewn fiat on two sides, and locked
at the corners by regular Lighthouse
joints. The cabin will have a frontage
of forty eight feet and a depth of thir-
ty-four feet. The main living roow will
be 16x32 feet, with a ceiling twenty
three feet high in the center. A fireplace
built of rough hewn powders, fitted
into place without cutting, will be one
of the features of the room and an ex-
treme novelty to the inhabitants of the
