AT THE THEATERS

ORPHEUM-The strong vaudeville
combination at this house has been
drawing large audiences every night
and the show certainly deserves 1t, for
there never has been a better one in
Los Angeles.
Lizzie B. Raymond is the favorite of
the bill. She is character vocalist and
coincidence of a high order and she
never fails to please. Her singing sim
ply captivates every one.
Miss Alma Herzog. the celebra ted
Wagnerian singer, has also proved a
great attraction. She is a genuine ar
fist of rare talent and culture.
McAvoy and May do jolly turn that is
brimming over with fun and lively dane
ing.
Virginia Aragon, queen of the lofty
wire, continues to win rounds of ap-
plause with her wonderful performance.
She is generally conceded the great
est artist of her kind that ever appeared
in this city.
The whole show is made up of excel
lent specialties that one cannot well af-
ford to miss.
LOS ANGELES THEATER-John

evidence during his forthcoming engage
ment at the Los Angeles theater, which

play will be repeated Wednesday and
Thursday nights, and on Friday and Sat
urday nights and Saturday matinee we

Danes. which Mr.. Drew is this week
playing with great success in San Fran
cisco. John Drew is Los Angeles most
favorite actor and he never fails to de-
light our most exacting playgoers. 1t
is good news that Maud Adams is still
the leading lady, and she is said to have
her greatest opportunities in the two
plays we are to see. All the old favorites
are in the company, as we'll as some new
people that we are bound to like. The

An Interesting Exhibition Yesterday At tn
Thirtleth Street School Before Mem.
bers Of the School Board

By the pupils Of the eighth grade of
the Thirtieth street school, yesterday
afternoon, and in the presence of School
Directors Hale, Grub, Garland, Simons
and Fulton and representatives of the
press, an interesting exhibition was
given in the use of a school room gym
nasium attachment recently invented
and patented by Theodore Bessing of
this city.
Teh device is made to be attached to
the school desks, and complete COM
prises dumb-bell- bar-bell, wand, ring.
horizontal bar or boom and parallel bar
for each desk. The articles are manu-
featured of wood. cast iron or nickel and
bronze, those used yesterday being made
of cast iron, the material which harmon
ICES with the desk supports and of which
it is expected to most generally make
them. Their weight varies according
to the needs of the grade using them.
Teh dumb-bell ranges from q to 2
pounds, the bar-bell ~ to pounds, the
wand is about 2 pounds adm the ring
about II a pound. Teh whole attach
ment is compact and does not project
into the space between desks when not
in use.

has received some attention in the pub
lie schools throughout the country the
last few years, but up to the present,
with the exception of the Normal school,
progress in that line has gone no fur
Their in Los Angeles schools than prac-
tice in calisthenics or what are free
gymnastics. The latter is really moth
ing other than foundation work in the
course of physical culture. The device
exhibited yesetdray is intended to pro-
vide for an advance in exercise. Mr..
Blessing, the inventor, was for five years
instructor of the department of gymnas-
tics of the Normal school of Los Ange-
les and evolved the idea of his invention
from the teaching of calisthenics. Nearly
the same apparatus is used in the schools
of Chicago, Kansas City and other east
ern cities, but not attached to the desks.
The attachment to the pupils desks is
claimed to be and is obviously an ad-
vantage. as 1t saves the noise and con-
fusion incident to the change to an
other part of the building or to the
bringing of the articles into the school
room when needed. With this device
each pupil has a gymnasium by his or
her side and needs but to step into the
aisle and with trifling preparation COM
mence work
Prof Rhode put the pupils through
their PAGES yesterday and covered the
essential gymnasium exercises with ap-
parent satisfaction the representatives
of the school board seeming to be
pleased. The cost of equiping the desks
with the attachment, which If utilized
would be used only in the third to eighth
grades inclusive, would be small.

Platt's Figures

Editor Herald: Allow me as a Demo-
crat to call your attention to singular
mistake CD in figures, in Boss Platt,
Carnegie's hall very apposite) address
in New York city, last evening, reported
in the Times of this morning, at grand
ratification meeting of protection and
gold, for the goddess Mckinley, ct al.
1t is this: The sixty-five votes of New
England will win" Eleven states
named added to this ensures the tri-
unph of Hanna, but as all the New
England states combined count just
thirty-nine electoral votes, is not the
foundation of success a little off? Even
counting as he did, such doubtful states
as Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
Michigan, as sure for the failure candi-
date, as he did. Poor food for reflection
for even a crow-pie distructionist.
Permit me to suggest, the total cleo
toral vote of all the states without a
f1atulent increase, is 447; necessary to
a choice, 224. Yet Plat can only show
$50, including the doubtful states named.
Give us a fair count, no Florida and
Louisiana Tilden and Hayes returning
board canvass and protection of wealth
for the rich and poverty for the poor will
receive its death blow
Let me venture prediction. The Re-
publican electoral states. fourteen in
number, ia votes. Democratic and sill
yer, 22 states. PIP votes. doubtful in 8,
total 447 OF course, this don't hold
good if Hanna and Plat count the vote.

fully your obedient servant.

JOHN R. M'LEAN OF OHIO

From the Democratic press of the
country there should go up loud and
emphatic protest against the mere as
ISOLATION of the name of John r. Mclean
of the Cincinnati Enquirer with the
Democratic presidential nomina-
ton. The election of Mclean as del
egate at large to the Chicago conven-
ton Is disgraceful enough, to talk of
him as ice-presidential possibility
piling calling insult on grievous injury.
Mclean is a man innocent of personal
character and absolutely devoid of po-
litical principle. He has disgraced the
name which his sire, Washington Nc
Lean, made an honored one, and dis
credited and repeatedly betrayed the
party upon which he infiicts his odious
ways been with the riff-raff, the scum,
the boodlers and ballot-box suffers of
Ohio politics, and he has consistently
and persistently opposed the decency and
intelligence of his own, and for that mat
ter of every other party, in his state.
His Democracy is one of neither practice
nor principle. His treasons to the party
have long been notorious i'll Ohio
while as a citizen and an editor he has
fought almost every essential Demo-
cratic proposition. He seems to be con-
stitutionally opposed to uprightness in
character and common honesty in pol
itics. His identification with the silver
movement which just now seems to be
swelling through the ranks of the Buck
eye Democracy, is not because of any
conviction that the silverites are right.
While he may be capable of entertaining
a conviction, he is incapable of fighting
for one. He is using the silver wave to
ride on, that is all, and in the minds of
people who judge of a cause by the char
acter of the men championing it, he can
do nothing other than prejudice the white
metal cause. If nominated tens of
thousands of self-respecting Democrats
will feel constrained to refuse support
to the ticket, and they will not be biam-
able for so feeling. He is a good man
to stamp the political life out of.

ufacturers are showing more interest

holders will go no lower At ruling
market rates considerable wool could be
picked up, although the woods could not
be replaced at seaboard prices. The
