AT THE THEATERS

Los Angeles Theatre-Popular Peter
F. Daley perhaps one of the best come
dians on the American stage. will come
to the Los Angeles theatre on to-mor-
row evening, with his new play which
has just closed a most successful en-
gagement at the California theatre, San
Francisco. Everybody knows Pete
Daley, and knows him as rollicking,
jolly comedian, who fills houses from
Maine to California. His new piece is
called The Night Clerk, and is from the
pen of John J. McNally, dramatic critic
of the Boston Herald, and who has writ
ten all of Mr.. Dailey's successes. The
Night Clerk is by far the best play Mr..
Daily has yet had, and is fun from be-
ginning to end. Those who know Mr..
Daily best are familiar with his capabil-
tiles, and he is supported by one of the
most superb farce-comedy organizations
new on the road. which includes
Miss Jennie Yeamans. Gertrude Fort,
John Sparks. Raymond Hitchcock. Rita
Emmerson. Fred Depew, BERTHE Dyar,

gorgeous and artistic floats, thirteen in
number. are the production of q we'll
known artist. and the subject is one in
which all his skill and artistic genius
had full scope. The ornamentation
and coloring of the floats produce a daz-
zling effect, and the pageant will be a
revelation to all who witness 1t. In ad-
dition to these gorgeous floats, others
indicative OF the progress and prospr-
ity of Suthern Califrnia will follow. The
caballeros the queens lancers, the JON
athan club, the commercial travellers
and other bodies will escort the floats
that will be manned by people dressed
in the costumes of the countries repre-
sented by the various floats. Ten bands
will continually discourse music during
the march through the streets and Ron
covieri's band will play at the tribunes,
where the pageant will pass twice.
Fridays celebration will be in the
nature of a patriotic event in which the
rising generation will play an important
part. The school children, some 14,000
in number, will first pay their respects
to the queen at the trlbunes and from
there march to Sixth street park, where
the Stars and Stripes will be hoisted to
a $50 foot pole. The children will sing
patriotic hymns and salute "Old Glory"
as she rises toward the sun.
In the evening grand display or
fireworks will take place at Athletic
park, consisting of some of the most
ELABORATE pieces, HldHuIdCtuIeu ny
Paine's Fireworks company, that fur
nished the fireworks at the Worlds
fair. The pyrotechnic display will
p commence at o'clock and will be one Of
the most beautiful ever seen in Califor-
MIA.
The queens ball will take place at Ha-
yards Pavilion and will be attended by
the elite of Southern California. Some
forty officers of the flagship Philadel-
phia in full dress uniform, Gov. Budd
and his staff, the latter in their re-
splendent uniforms, and the officers of
the National Guard in their gold lace
will make the event one of the great
est social functions Los Angeles has
ever had. The Queen will be attired
in full evening dress with a court train,
carried by Roy and Gerald Rule, her
pages, in handsome court costumes. The
ladies of the royal household will per-
form dance of homage to her majesty
and the affair will be as brilliant as it
will be interesting.
Saturday afternoon the floral parade
and great battle of roses will take
place at the tribunes. The number
of entries so far recorded greatly ex-
ceeds those of last year, and khe equip
ages, fourin-hands, six-in-hands, tai
lyhos, bicycles and horseback riders
will be handsomely and artistically
decorated, and will impress those who
witness the pageant that this section
is entitled to the distinction of being
called the land of sunshine and flow
ers. The variety of flowers and the
design for decorating the vehicles will
be the grandest sight ever witnessed
The pageant will pass three times In
review of the queen and thousands of
people will assemble to witness the
beautiful event.

Fiesta Athletics

The games committee of La Fiesta
have succeeded in presenting most en-
tertaining program for Thursday next
at Athletic park. The presence Of Her
Majesty the Queen and full court, the
glittering cavalcade of caballerOs, the
drill of the 300 marines from the warship
Philadelphia and the competitive drill OF
the Seventh regiment are in themselves
features of sufficient attraction to test
the seating capacity of the park. to say
nothing of the foot and bicycle races,
Indian races, burro races. feats of horse
manship and other amusement fea-
lures.
Among the entries for the 100 yard
dash will be found Charles v. Howard
and James Ryan Of the Los Angeles
Athletic club, Allen Gentry of Santa Ana
and Fayette Birtch, P. M. Mcmahon and
c. r. Broughton Of Santa Barbara.
The 440 yard will bring out the above
named with the addition of F. L. Morrill,
and Clem Wilson Of the Y. M. c. and
E. E. Elliott Of the University of South
ern California.
The half mile run will include the trio
from Santa Barbara, Morrill, Elliott.

dino.
The bicycle races will be contested by
c. Stimson, H. B. Cromwell, James
Cowan, w. P. Bennett, +. A. Bell, H
Vliant and Dean Cromwell. These races
will be arranged so that the public will
see good races and no loafing will be
permitted
The burro races, climbing creased pole
and catching the creased pig are mirth-
provoking and make enjoyable breaks
in program Of athletics and drill.
Inc American Concert band will be
In attendance and the marines will ir
all probability be accompanied by their

The committee deemed it expedient tc
begin the competitive drill at D. M, as
they desire to have everything pass of,

A HuMIL1ATING CONDITION

When Senator Berry Of the senate
commerce committee asked a member
Of the Santa Monica harbor delegation,
now in Washington, if he had not be-
come an advocate of the Huntington
project because he had concluded that
the influences at Washington were such
as to render it impossible to secure the
necessary improvement at San Pedro, a
key note was struck. The gentleman
of whom the question was asked ad-
mitted that in a measure such was the
case. This fear Of the power Of the
Southern Pacific lobby has, beyond
question affected substantially every
disinterested citizen of Los Angeles who
has shown a reluctance to oppose the
Huntington program. The idea has been
sedulously cultivated that the leader of
the third house" at the federal capital
is more powerful than the people of a
state, and men with flexible backbones
and feeble knees have been frightened
into the belief that it is Santa Monica
CT nothing 1t is a humiliating condi-
ton of things, indeed, when the presi-
dent Of q railroad corporation, made
wealthy originally through the bounty
Of the government. acquires the reputa-
ton of being SO powerful with the con-
gress Of the United States that he can
dictate the appropriation of money for
public improvements in q certain state
Of the Union contrary to the wishes of
the representatives Of that state. The
suggestion that such is the case gives
another phase to the harbor fight. 1t
injects into It the issue of the relative
Importance Of the peoples representa-
tives and Mr.. Huntington before the
American congress, and every loyal
citizen is in duty bound to see that that
issue is settled the right way. The ques-
ton as to whose influence is greatest in
Washington regarding legislation
affecting this state. that Of Mr.. Hunt
ington or of the people Of California
should be fought to finish. The sooner
the people determine the matter OF the
ownership of themselves the better.

enough to sometimes award credit to

ident Cleveland:
'In the frankness and the fairness Of

that the rout of the free coinage of silver

The Herald today publishes another
communication from an indignant and
aggrieved resident of Boyle Heights
relative to the destructive tendencies
of some of the boys of that part of the
city. It would seem as though little
energetic work on the part of the po-
lice might serve to prevent the depreda-
tions Of viciously inclined juveniles
People who beautify and otherwise I'M
prove their properties should certainly
be protected from the vandalism or
unruly and ill-bred youngsters. 1t Is
for protection to property that they pay
taxes and it should certainly be ac-
corded them. The parents of the boys
complained of might make an appeal to
the forces Of the law needless If they
would do their duty as parents ana
citizens. A little more discipline OF
the right kind administered by parental
authority would be less expensive all
around than discipline Of another kind
administered by public authority. 1t
is quite apparent that there are some
negligent parents in the Boyle Heights
section of the city, and something
should be done to bring them to a re-
alization of the obligations they owe
their neighbors and their offspring.

In his speech Friday evening Judge
Graves undertook to make tariff capital
out of the increased Importation of
hides under the Wilson law, but was
promptly non-plussed by a Republican
in the audience who asked if hides
were not on the free list under the Nc
Kfnley bill as well as under the present
law? The judge hesitated and finally
said that really he didn't know. It was
q sad predicament for a public speaker
to get into, and. while somewhat
amused, the audience could not help
feeling sympathetic. Well wager that
the Judge says nothing about hides in
his future speeches.-EUreka Messen-
ger.
Thrones will topple and nations fall
if this question of hides isn't settled at
once. A grand struggle between the
forces of conservatism is on, a battle
that has been coming on for 40 years.
yea so centuries, but we must pause to
discuss whether hides were on the free
list or not. Make a pinhoIe in a card
and peep through it, and you will get
the same range of vision that af-
hicts these people who can't see that
the present political agitation is part
of a world movement that has been
ripening for ages.

TALLEST OF TOWERS.
Chicago Will Build One to
Eclipse the EiffeI Tower.
It VIII be 1880 Feet in Height and
There VIII be Room for 10000
People in Tt.

Chicago is determined to wrest an
other superlative from the cities of the
world. 1t has already some very tall
buildings, but now it proposes to have
the tallest. A steel tower /, $50 feet in
height is to be built, topping the oele-
brated Eifel tower of Paris by a wide
margin. 1t is to be known as the city
tower. The enterprise is well under
way, land having been purchased for a
site and a ten years lease having been
made by a syndicate of Chicago and
New York capitalists
The project originated with some pa
triotic Chieagoans, who wanted to see
the stars and stripes floating higher
than the flag of any other nation on
earth: but, while this will be accom-
plished, the building of the structure
will be a strictly business venture.
The base of the tower is to occupy q
whole city block, 326 feet square. The
tower will rest on four mammoth cor
ner supports, each being so feet square.
From these will spring steel arches,
which will join 200 feet in the air.
They will support the first landing,
which will be the principal floor, max
ing a surface Of &c, 900 square feet. on
which 20, 600 persons can gather. Thin
will be just 225 feet from the ground.
At an equal distance above this
viii be the second platform, $50 fees
square and 40 feet in the air. This

mid of Egypt and almost as lofty as the
Washington monument. The third land

ton. The changes in values which are
likely to occur viii be gradual. The
class which will incur the greatest gain
or loss. is the class which is boarding
money. If the gold standard win the
purchasing power of their money viii
continue to increase If silver shall
triumph the purchasing power of their
money will begin to decline with the
advance in the prices of commodities.
In the latter event, however. they will
have ample time to invest in property
before sustaining any serious loss.
Money always seeks investment when
prices are advancing and is boarded
when they are declining. There need
be no fear that the holders of money
will not see the approach of the re
storation of silver in time to get a good
share of its benefits.
One Of the best features of opening
the minis to silver is that holders of
money will hasten TO convert it into
property thus adding it to. the circula-
ton Of the country.
