LOS ANGELES THEATER.-The sale
of seats opeis today for the coming pro-
duction of Alabama. 1t is six years
since Alabama was produced al the Mad
ison Square theater, New York, and
since that time it has been continued
success. The author, Mr.. Augustus
Thomas, at that time was entirely un-
known, except to newspaper men as a
brilliant writer. In one night he became
famous, and since then has produced
several successful plays. In Mizzoura,
in which Mr.. Nat Goodwin has added
to his laurels, is the work of Mr.. Thomas,
as we'll as Reckless Temple, A Man of
the World, The Burglar, and the new
play, Chimme Fadden. But the success
of Alabama is not entirely due to the
exquisite beauty of the play; it is also
due to the fact that the high standard
of the company has always been main
tanned. When the play is produced at
the Los Angeles theater on Monday next
the following well known and clever
people will be seen: Clement Balm
bridge, Fred Mower, Harry M. Allen, L.
p. Hicks, w. M. Wadsworth, Robert
Conness, F. W. Kensil, Francis Nelson
and the Misses Ethel Irving, Helen
Weathersby, Florence Crosby and Kate
Dooling.
BURBANK THEATER.-Tar
edy, that's the thing; that is, of course,
when the word is honestly used. When
a theater goer sees the words farce
comedy" on the bill boards these days
he cannot tell whether he Is going to see
dog circus or poultry show. Town
Topics, the new farce comedy, padded
out by the very best talent to be had,
which comes to the Burbank theater
next Sunday night. November 1st, is
farce-comedy organization of true merit.
1t comes to this city fresh and breezy
and as chuck full of pure, wholesome
merriment as shad is of bones. Facts
are stubborn things, consequently the
mentioning the names of the ladies and
gentlemen who are to serve up the mer-
riment puts a quetus on all argument
foremost among whom may be mention
ed William Kellar VIM. H. Mack, John
Queen, James Tenbrook, Phil OFT, Jos.
Harrington, VIM. Nelson, Frank Cav
erly, A. M Miller, Beatrice Norman, Mel
lie Senett, Lylian Hevkler Luella Miller,
Laura Wainsford, Freda Peel and Ma
mie Welty. The sale of seats opens this
morning for this engagement.
THE BURBANK.-Don Caesar de Ba-
zan will be given tonight with special
scenery, superb costumes and every de-
tail which goes to make good perform
ance. Mr.. VIM. l.. Roberts, who wrote
his own version, will assume the title
role, and is said to be superior to any
Don Caesar of modern times. Miss
Olive Matin must make a most beauti-
full Maritana, as after seeing her Mar
guerite in Faust it would be difficult to
imagine her as anything else than
charming and fascinating. Mr.. Roberts
has taken great pains to place the sew
eral members of the company to the
best advantage. A great treat is prom
ised. No one should miss these last few
days of the great Roberts company-to-
night, tomorrow and Saturday evenings
and Saturday matinee.

This Is No Joke, but 1t Is an Actual
Fact

The Democrats of the Third ward, that
Is the delegates to the city convention
from that ward, met last evening and
nominated Nicholas P. Wynne for the
city council.
Mr.. Wynne will be indorsed by the
Populists and he will make a good, strong

an old citizen, of excellent character and
reputation.
The convention originally nominated
John Brink, but that gentleman was not
eligible. he having been a resident of the
ward for less than the period of two
years required by the city charter.
The nomination of Mr.. Wynne will
give universal satisfaction to the voters
of the ward,

Congressional Candidate c. A. Bar
low and c. M. Jay, chairman of the
Union Bryan club of Garvanza, and w.
S. Morgan Of Pico Heights, the fusion
candidate for supervisor in the Fourth
district, were greeted at Inglewood on
Monday night by an unusually large au
dience for Inglewood under the charge
of Committeeman Cook of the Peoples
party and Chairman Carter.
Many ladies were present, and the
number of gold badges worn showed
many there still seeking salvation at the
fountain of free silver.
Mr.. Morgan reviewed the business re-
gime of the country for the past few
years and pointed out needed reforms in
detail. Congressman Barlow talked
for an hour and half and reached es-
pecially the heart of the farmers, to
whom he talked from actual experience.
He announce himself as unalterably
opposed to the funding bill and in favor
of deep sea harbor, and not at Santa
Monica, owned by the Southern Pacific"
The meeting was closed by an earn
est address by c. M. Jay, Silver Repub-
lican, who read also q message of re-
have been present, but was sent by the

Ing. A number of voters declared them
selves new converts to Bryan, Barlow

GARVANZA UNION BRYAN CLUB
The Union Bryan hall at Garvanza
blossomed like very rose last night
with the beautiful decorations bestowed
upon 1t by the ladies of the decoration
committee. Miss Abbot, Mrs J. Rivers,
Mrs. j. Drake, Mrs. Cutsinger and Miss

filled in spite of the muddy walking.
Chairman Jay resigned the chair in COM
pliment to the Hon. J. Rivers, Demo-
cratic central committeeman. The Rev.
M. w. Webster. who was announced to
speak, failed to appear. Hon. C.. A.
Barlow, who was also expected, disap-
pointed many good friends by his alb
sence.
Frank Scheidler delivered the speech
Of the evening, which was very enthu-
siastically received. While Mr. Schei-
dler was speaking two yellow ribbon gold
bugs saw At to retire from the hall, which
led him to remark that "if silver insect

Sty. Other instances may be FOUND, not so
Objectionable, perhaps, but which would be
absent from perfectly fair apportionment.
Thus 1t may be noted that the county or
Tippeconoe had one full ratio. for which 1t
was given a Representative, with an excess
of 1910 for which 1T given another

1895 ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
1.-THE unconstitutionality of the apportion-
ment act of 1895 being therefore evident
from the provisions of the Constitution, and
from the principles established by the courts,
and particularly by this court in the case
of Parker VS.. State, supra. it remains. in
order to determine whether the appellant
was entitled TO the relief demanded by him,
to inquire as to the constitutionality of the
act of 1893. The unconstitutionalty of this
act is readily apparent, both from what
we have said as to the act of 1885, and also
from the decision In the case of Parker VS..
State. In the first place. there are two
double representative districts. Neither Du-
bois, Martin, orange nor Lawrence county
had population equal TO the ratio for a
separate Representative; yet each of them,
by being Joined in one district. wAs given

mentS urged by counsel for appellee against
the double districts formed by the act of
TO the unconsttutionality of this double Rep
resentative district formed by the act OF
1893. The district of Adams. Jay and Black
ford is even more Objectionable. Neither
Adams nor Blackford was alone entitled TO
a Representative. though both together
would be entitled TO one while jay
alone was entitled to a Representative: yet
all these were joined, and given two Rep
resentatives. So, IN the senatorial appor-
tionment, the county of Clark. which did
not have a voting population equal to the
ratio for one Senator. was vet Joined in one
district to Scott and Jennings. and in an
other to Jefferson, and thus given voice
in the election of two Senators.
