A ROYAL RECEPTION
The Democratic County Convention
Gives 1t to Charles A. Barlow

When Hon. Charles A. Barlow, the
next representative in congress from this
district, addressed the Democratic city
convention yesterday he was rendered
an ovation. Delegates and spectators
arose to their feet and cheered and ap-
plauded him with great vigor.
Mr.. Barlow made the convention
very clever little speech. He reported
that every county in the northern part
of the district would give majority Tor
Bryan and silver. This pleasing intelli-
gence set the convention wild with en-
thusiasm.
He said that he had been devoting his
time to the various counties of the dis
trict outside of Los Angeles, but from
now on until election day he intended to
canvass this county. Mr.. Barlow made
no extended speech. The few happy re-
marks he made caught the delegates
and the impression the gentleman MADE
was an excellent one.
Mr.. Barlow has made the following
appointments in this county:
At University on the 18th with j. r.
Rush.
At Boyle Heights on the 18th with Rev.
George e. Dye.
At Pasadena on the 14th with J. r.
Rush.
At Whittier on the 18th with J. R.
Rush.
At East Los Angeles on the 18th with
Judge j. N. Phillips.
At the Wigwam on the nth with
Thomas V. Gator.
At Long Beach on the 18th with ]. r.
Rush.
At San Pedro on the goth with George
S. Patton.

At Santa Monica on the 22d with j. r.
Rush.

POLITICAL NOTES
Items of Interest Appertaining to the
Campaign Here and Elsewhere

The regular meeting of the Silver Re
publican club will be held tonight at the
wigwam. Col. John r. Berry and Hon.
T. L. Gibbon will address the meeting.
Mr.. c. f. Edison will give a short talk on
Why the Farmers Interests Are to Be
Improved by the Adoption of Free Sill
yer Coinage. A good meeting is prom
ised.
On Tuesday evening, Oct. Goth, the
Silver Republican club will hold meet
ing of especial interest to young men.
Preparations are being made for some
fine talks to the first voters on free sill
yer lines.
Hon. T. V. Gator, the prominent orator
of San Francisco, arrived in Los An
geles yesterday on his campaign tour
through Southern California. Mr..
Gator will speak in Los Angeles on Sat-
urday evening, Oct. 18th.
Hon. James Fl. Budd, governor of
California, has accepted an invitation
from the Silver Republican club to visit
Los Angeles and address the citizens
Of this section on the issues Of the cam
paign under it's auspices during the last
week of this month. Governor Budd
will make but one address in Southern
California, and while in Los Angeles
will be the guest of the Silver Repub-
lican club. Chairman Afford of the
Democratic state central committee
will very likely accompany Governor
Budd
Dr.. ]. J. Choate wishes it to be under
stood that he has always been in favor
of the municipal ownership of the water
system and has once made a canvass
on that principle. From the fact that
the doctor was placed in nomination in
the Democratic city convention against
Mr.. Snyder for the mayoralty some per
sons not familiar with his record might
think that he was on the side of the
water company.

THE CARD MACHINES MUST GO
Eleven Complaints Issued Against
Cigar and Saloon Men

The first batch of complaints issued
in the cases of the saloon keepers and
cigar stand proprietors who maintain
in their establishments the nickel-in-the
slot card gambling machines were filed
in Justice Morrison's court yesterday.
On warrants, officer Hubbard arrested
A. Goldbaum, Fred Barman, c. E. Mil
ner and Ed l.. Maxwell, all Of whom
were brought to the police station and
deposited bail.
Bob" Kern made his appearance in
court and was arraigned on a like charge
of misdemeanor. A test case will prob
ably be made on the charge preferred
against him, all the defendants being
interested. Trial Of the matter was set
for the 22d inst, when jury will hear
the testimony on both sides. There are
yet complaints upon which the warrants
have not been served against George w.
Walker, Henry Edelman, Robert L. See,
w. j. Bolan, +. Parker and Mike L. Po-
laski. The chief is determined to stop
the use of the card machines if possible,
and it Is probable that the first or test
case will be hotly contested.

Mrs. Elizabeth Dobyns.

Yesterdays State Herald noted the death of this good woman, mother of Mrs. Alice D. Orr, the accomplished lady for the past two years identified with the Pollock Stephens institute, and grand mother of Charles and Harry Orr, two of our most thorough-going young busi- ness men.
 Mrs. Dobyns was the widow of Porter Dobyns, a one time one of the leading merchants of Maysville, Ky, where the family villa, now passed into other hands, still keeps alive the memory of her boun- tiful hospitality
 Mrs Dobyns came to our city too late in life to make many new friends; and yet although past the Psalmists limit of human life, she attracted and won every one with whom she was thrown by her youngheartedness, her rare conversations al gifts and her fine manners. She was a staunch Baptist in her religious faith, and died with very clear apprehension of and committing of her. soul to her Saviour.
 Her relatives have the sympathy of many Birmingham friends.

AT O'BRIEN'S.

The movement of Shakespeare's trage- dies is as grand as the procession of the constellations across the heavens. As 1t requires astronomers to explain to us the movements of the stars, so 1t requires a man of talent to interpret the deep meanings of Shakespeare. Such an in terpreter is Frederick Warde. He has studied Shakespeare since he was 19 wears of age when he played Romeo to Neilson's Juliet. But 1t has been five years since a Birmingham audience mas seen him in a Shakespearean role. lie ably supported Mrs. Bowers When she appeared in this city. It was, therefore, with great pleasure that the large ana cultured Birmingham audience greeted MT. Warde again last night in his mas terly production of King Lear. A merl- torius production is always sure or hearty reception in Birmingham, and last might was no exception.
 Not since Forrest has an actor pre- sented King Lear more acceptably and more truly than does Frederick Warde. None but a master can grasp thls great character. The noble, generous King, trusting implicitly in the love and loyalty of his sons and daughters, partitions his Kingdom among them. They are pfo- fuse in their professions of love and gratitude-all but Cordelia. She feels that her love should be so well assured that it needed no speech to betray it's presence The quick tempered king com mands her to mend her speech or mar her fortune. She prefers to rebuke the hollow mockery of the professions Of her sisters by remaining silent. Her silence is misconstrued by the king, and she IS banished. If Shakespeare intended to convey the thought that parents love and trust their children more than their chll- dren love them he certainly did not miss the mark The undutiful children of the king turn upon hm-they cut down his retinue and keep him waiting for dinner. The king sees their ingratitude and it tears his heart-strings-how sharper than a serpents tooth is the neglect of a thankless child. The king finds his only surcease of sorrow in the love of Cor della, his only dutiful daughter. The tragedy marches to it's climax in solemn grandeur. In the climaxes Warde rose to the full heighth of his genius, and the thrilled audience gave him call after call.
 Ernest Warde as the fool played that difficult character to perfection. The Cordelia of Florence Wilburham, and M Sherwood as the king of France, shared the honors of the evening with the star The caste as a whole, would be difficult to improve upon. The scenic effects were beautiful or grand, as the occasion de- manded. They far surpassed any stage effected in the time of Shakespeare, fol in that age such accessions to the success of the stage were not attempted, and would, if attempted, have fallen fai short of the present with its wonderful inventions of electricity.
