7,iIby,

The story of "Trilhy" has aroused a
great deal of controversy and few are
Indifferent to it's merits or dement's.
1t has positive champions and equally
positive opponents. It surprised many
when it was announced that the novel
was to be Grammatical, when it was
known that Triiby was to try her
strength upon the dramatic, as she
had upon the concert stage, surround
ed by her old friends. Little Billee,
Jecko, Taffy and the Laird. The en-
gagement was awaited with great
curiosity, which gave way to admira-
ton, the theatre he filled to its capa-
city at each performance. The prudes
held up their hands in horror at the
easy unconventional life in the Latin
quarter f Paris. hut when they see
the play, they are forced to admit that
that sort Of life is not without its
charms.

RoWdy Amusement.

A few evenings since a couple of
rowdies with two women in a rock
away went charging about the town
yelling and hooting and filling the
air with profanity and abuseing every
body they met. Several ladies were
insulted by these toughs, and in some
instances they drove their horses up
on the sidewalk compelling the ladies
to run for their lives. Two ladies,
who were subjected to this treatment,
tainted on the sidewalk. The relatives
of the ladies say that if the city ar-
thorities can't prevent these outrages
they will get out some shooting irons
and use them.

LOST AN ARM
A Homeless Youth Seriously Injured by
Southern Pacific Train

Albert Roe. youth of 10, who at
present has no home and is a wanderer,
but who originally came from Grinnell,
Ia, where he was raised, had the mis-
fortune to be thrown under the wheels
Of an incoming passenger train at
Nauds station on the Southern Pacific
yesterday afternoon shortly after 1
o'clock, and had his left arm so badly
crushed that amputation was neces-
sary.
Roe only got into the city Sunday, and
had secured employment passing bills.
He was at the little station when the
train stopped for a moment. and stood
by to watch it pull out. He was close
to the track, yet not so near but what
the engine passed him all right. The
steps of the first coach hit him in the
back, however. throwing him forward
onto his face, his outstretched arm go
ing under the wheels and being crushed
to pulp just below the elbow.
He was picked up and carried into the
office of lumber yard near by, from
where a telephone message was sent for
the patrol wagon, in which the injured
boy was carried to the receiving hospital.
DR.. Bryant amputated the arm just
above the elbow. Roe rallied nicely from
the shock of the operation and will today
be sent to the county hospital to remain
until his arm has healed.

THE CAUSE OF CUBA.
Mass Meeting at Music Hall Next Fri
day Evening

For some days past certain patriotic
men of Los Angeles have been quietly
yet effectively, moving in the matter of
a. public expression of the sentiment of
our citizens regarding the struggle now
being waged by the people of Cuba
against the expressions of Spain.
For long and weary months the insur-
gents have held their own against many
times their number of well-fed and eff
fectively armed soldiers from Madrid,
and by so doing. in the cause of per-
sonal liberty, have earned the sympa-
thies and admiration of many hundred
thousands of right thinking people the
world over. The terrible struggle is still
on in fury born of desperate deter
mination to win or die.
The patriotism of thoughtful men in
our city has been rapidly rising, and
the time seems ripe for public express
sion of our sympathies toward the op-
pressed people of fair Cuba, whose shores
are so near our own. Arrangements are
rapidly nearing completion for mass
meeting at Music hall next Friday even
ing. Both ladies and gentlemen of every
religious creed and shade of political
belief will fill important places on the
program and unless we mistake not the
citizens of the United States will hear
ir thunder tones the voice of the people
of Los Angeles on the side of justice,
freedom and humanity.

the knowledge, that so many forms OF

Iy removes. That is why it is the only

HARLEY HAMILToN's CONCERT

Warmly Appreciative Audience

A most generous treat was given to
the music lovers of Los Angeles last
night when Mr.. Harley Hamilton made
his first temperance after his Euro
pean experiences at Music hall, as
sisted by the talented pianist Mrs.
Masac and the fair songstress Mrs
James Scarborough. A large audience,
rapturous applause and showers
of loveliest flowers contributed to the
success of the concert
Those who expected a marvellous
transformation in Mr.. Hamilton's play
ing were of course disappointed. A vio-
linist cannot blossom like a rose, even
though the greatest masters of the world
are his trainers-for three months. Mr..
Hamilton has faults, which it were i'm
possible to eradicate in so short a time
from player who has played so long
Nevertheless he is a violnist and an
earnest musician in whom Los Angeles
may we'll take pleasure He has un-
doubtedly profited by his brief sojourn
in Europe and the results of his expert
ence have only just commenced. Mem
delssohn's concerto in E minor was very
we'll rendered, and vociferous encore
was appeased with delightful
berceuse. Three little gems of Simon
etti that concluded his recital were alto
gether charming.
Mrs. Scarborough is somewhat troubled
with the tremolo habit, but she is pos
sessed of very redeeming qualities. such
as excellently clear enunciation and ex-
pressive phrasing
Mrs. Masac as usual proved that she
is an accomplished mistress of the piano.
The Tannhaeuser march was given with
vast amount of vim and the brilliancy
of her execution was we'll demonstrated
in Chopin's Scherzo, op. 81.
