AT THE THEATERS

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES will be the
only amusement offered at the theaters
tonight, and 1t is fortunate that the
local vaudeville house. the Orpheum, has
such an attractive show arranged.
The new bill includes three fresh at
fractions which, combined with the best
of last weeks program, make q thor
oughly good entertainment The leading
feature will be Miss Alma Herzog, the
famous Wagnerian singer. Miss Her.
zog comes to us with a great reputation
as vocalist, and she will undoubtedly
prove strong attraction. McAvoy and
May. a rollicking duo of song and dance
artists. will give lively act, full of fun
and some laughable knock about work.
Miss Lizzie B. Raymond is billed as
Americas favorite serio-comic. She
is certainly a splendid character vocal
ist and will make a good addition to the
bill. lie Clair and Leslie will present
their best burlesque act, entitled Cleo
patral Up to Date. Mile. Carrie, the
charming little bell ringer, will repeat
her clever performance of last week,
with some pleasing variations. Collins
and Collins have fresh lot of songs and
dances. Not the least of the many good
things in store will be the wonderful
performance of Virginia Aragon. queen
of the lofty wire. The new bill is ex-
ceptionally fine and will probably get
a warm reception tonight.

TAX REDUCTION

Taxation Is not a blessing. The neees-
sity of taxation is its only justification.
High taxation diminishes returns to en-
terprise and labor. If taxation is con-
tinually increased, it will come to a point
that will kill enterprise and finally de-
populate locality. Los Angeles is ap-
preaching danger point from high
taxes, and its citizens must see to it
that taxes are reduced. The Herald does
not believe that citizens can continue
to pay 3 per cent ia taxes on the full
values of the assessment. There is in
deed considerable section of the city
in which improved property is not pay
ing per cent above insurance and re-

THE TELLER MOVEMENT

Apropos of the scheme to either nom
mate Teller on silver ticket or on the
Democratic ticket, the following from
the San Francisco Examiner is suggest
i've and sensible:
The silver detection from the Republi-
can party is simply that and nothing
more, as the case stands at present
should the silver men, however, sue
ceed in the Herculean task of convinc-
ing the Democrats and Populists that
the currency is the sole issue before the
country, and that any great national
party can with a single issue represent
and harmonize the diverse beliefs held
by free-silver advocates on other issues
it is conceivable that Teller will be able
to lead the silver sentiment outside as
well as inside the Republican ranks
There is no present indlca tion that such
situation can be brought about
Judging from the test vote In the Re-
publican national convention, that par
ty will not contribute very extensively
to the silver revolt. On the motion TO
lay on the table Teller's silver substi-
tute for the gold plank the negative vote
came largely from states which are not
Republican, and even in them there was
generally sharp division. Alabama
gave 10 gold and silver votes, Arkansas
10 gold and one silver Florida gold and
l silver. Kansas Is gold and / silver
Missouri 80 gold and silver, North Car
olina 141a gold and 171a silver. Tennessee
% gold and 1 silver, Virginia Il gold and
silver, while of the other southern
states these We're solid for sold: Ken
lucky Louisiana. Maryland, Mssissip-
pi and South Carolina. The total vote
was S121a, for gold and 11G1A for silver.
All this voting was done with the dis
tinct understanding that Mckinley
would accept any currency plank which
the convention might offer. Hence there
was no modifying influence to prevent
a fair expression of opinion in the con-
Vention.

Fruit trees moy, with advantage, be trained in small gardens where econ omy of space is consideration, and Independent of this there is much beauty of effect to be obtained from rows of well-trained trees. Generally speaking, there is no necessity for us to adopt such methods, as in its proper season there is abundance of light reaching the trees, but in the more northerly sections and in Canada it is advisable to make such arrangements as will best secure a maximum of ex- posture to the influence of the suns rays On the other hand, it must bs remembered that to keep a properly trained tree in good condition-and un- less that is done training is waste of energy-requires considerable atten- tion.

ABSURD STAGE DEATHS.
Nature Outrageously Violated Instead of
 Being Shown Mirror.


 A French dramatic critic, with some show of medical knowledge, represents that nearly all actors and actresses outrageously violate nature in their limitations of death, says the Baltimore Gazette. He cites, in corroboration of his charge, the customary theatrical death of Camille, in the younger Du- mas favorite emotional play of that title. According to the author, his heroine is affected with pulmonary con- sumption, and an incidental attack of hemorrhage of the lungs extinguishes her life. There is absolutely nothing dramatic to be made out of this mode of dying, if fidelity to fact be obeyed The gushing of a stream of blood from the mouth would be realistic, but the imitation of such a phenomenon is never made by actors, male or female, nor would any discreet manager tcl- crate such a piece of stage business. Again, the overwhelming suffocation which produces the rapid death in Camille's case is never accompanied by convulsions, such as her dying repre- sentatives on the stage almost always assume. In natural death from this cause the sufferer simply collapses from failure of the vital powers.
 Theatrical poisoning scenes are also usually untrue to nature. It is popu- larly believed that when fatal dose of laudanum or morphine is swallowed the victim immediately sinks into a deathlike sleep, as is commonly seen on the stage, whereas the first effect of this poison taken in like quantity is in- variably to excite and enliven. Nor is the mode of dying after the hackneyed cardiac stage stab in conformity with the laws of nature. The actor simply falls at full length, or in heap, where as the everyday member of society gives spring when the heart is struck before entering eternity by this un- happy gate. Even the modern Othello has not inherited enough of Shakes peare's wonderful fidelity to truth to die naturally after a stab through the heart.
