THE STAGE REPORTER
Could Not Hold His Job on a Live Pa
per Two DaYs

Joseph Jefferson says there are only two
things in modern life in which the Amer.-
can people know nothing-the editorial
sanctum of daily paper and the green
room of theater. To this fact, perhaps,
frank Pixley thinks. may be attributed
the failure of every play which deals with
newspaper life. Not a newspaper play has
succeeded. Milton Mobiles phoenix
probably was the nearest approach to a
success, but it did not deal exclusively with
the editorial sanctum. Many of the lead
ing actors of this country have attempted
editorial roles, but failure has been scored
every time. The average theatergoers
know no more about the internal workings
of Journalistic life than they do about So
clety on Mars. Reporters frequently are
represented in successful plays, but almost
without exception they are extremely real.
The stage reporter could not hold his job
on live newspaper two days. But many
other familiar types exist only behind the
footlights. "Old Hoss" Hoey's tramp is
conceded to be the best vagrant who ever
invaded theatrical life. But he wasn't real.
Iramps are familiar figures in everyday
life, but no one ever saw Hoey's counter
part on the city streets or the country
roads.-kansas City Journal.

Reality of Sight Language

DR.. Gallaudet, the eminent teacher of
deaf mutes. says that to him the sign Ian
guage is as real as the spoken. when
about to speak to deaf mutes," says the
doctor. II do not think out what l want
to say in English and then translate it into
signs. l think in the signs, and am firmly
convinced that signs are to the deaf what
sounds are to those who hear. 1t is hard
to explain to people possessing all their
natural faculties just why certain signs
convey certain impressions, but they do.
Take the written sentence, 4 am glad to
see you The words mean nothing to- a
child; but speak them and he knows at
once what you mean. He has unconscously
acquired knowledge of sounds as the ex-
preston OF ideas in the mind, and when
you speak those sounds he understands
you. Show the written sentence to deaf
mute who has not been educated: they sig
nify nothing to him. But make the proper
signs and he understands you at once.
The motions indicate L see you, my heart
beats You can't tell how, but in some
way the meaning flashes upon him and he
knows you are saying L am glad to see
you'"

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Sept g.
F. D. Huestis, the new customs collector
for the Puget sound district, who took
office two days ago, has made new
ruling in the matter of admitting Chinese
laborers. He has refused admittance to
seven Chinese who arrived from Victoria,
B. c., on the ground that they had de-
parted from other ports when leaving
this country. Until fifteen months ago
the requirement was enforced that Chi
nese must re-enter a the port of depart
ure, but during the past year compli-
ance with this condition has not been
required from Chinese immigrants, ow
ing to a precedent established by the
treasury department in the case of the
Strathnevis immigrants, when Chinese
were admitted regardless of the port
of departure. AS result many Chinese
succeeded in entering here when they
could not have made a satisfactory show
ing at the port from which they had de
parted. Collector Hues,is' return TO the
former rule has called forth a storm Of
protests from interested Chinese resi-
dents of the Pacific coast. The action of
the new collector will proba bly, decrease
the wholesale entering of Chinese
through this port and district, nearly
1900 having been entered here during
the past six months.

ALL OFFICES VACANT
When the Legal Term Of Office Eas
Expired

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 3.-The su-
preme court decided today that consti-
tutional vacancy exists only until the
expiration of the term of office for which
a candidate was elected. S. A. Holmes
was elected judge of Fresno county for
a term of six years, which term was
to expire January 4, 1897. Judge Holmes
resigned in December, 1894. and the gov
ernor appointed e. L. Carter to fill the
office until the election and qualification
of his successor. In November, 1885,
George F. Church was elected to fill the
urexpired term of Judge Holmes. He
qualified November 49, 1896 and demand
ed of the state controller his salary until
January 4, 1897 This was refused on the
ground that the legislature of 1895 passed
an act abolishing the office Of one judge
of Fresno county. Mandate was pre-
sented to the supreme court and that
tribunal holds that the act provided that
it should take effect upon the expiration
of the term of office of the incumbent
and that this would mean. in the present
case, the expiration of the term for

The Council of Building Trades, t
their meeting last night, discussed the
case of the coal miners who are now on
strike and decided to assist them if pos
sible.
1t is reported that many of the miners
are absolutely destitute and starving.
The council therefore appeals to the
charitably inclined to give something
for the benefit of the sufferers. 1t was
the opinion of the meeting that as in the
past large sums of money have been
raised in this city to help those who
needed it, there should be no difficulty
in raising a substantial sum. The sec
se.ary of the council, A. H. Hethering
ton, will be at the council rooms 2O5La

tween 7 and to receive subscriptions

QUITE IN SYMPATHY
THE EAST sIDERs HOLD A MASS
MEETING
And Accept the Recommendations Of
the Subcommittee in the Bou-
levard Matter

About a hundred and fifty of the East
Banquet hall on Downey avenue last
! evening to discuss boulevard matters
r. A. Ling presided, and called the
ting to order promptly at o'clock,
explaining that it was called by the sub
committee appointed by the general
boulevard committee to submit a route
through East Los Angeles that should
prove practical toward building a boule-
ward.
| The chairman then said that the COM
| mittee, which was composed of F. F.
Flint, Joe Mesmer, c. o. Bradford and
w. A. Kennedy, besides himself, haG Gmet
and among other things resolved that
to have such meeting was the best and
fairest way to determine matter that
was very important, since the future
prosperity of the East Side depended
to large degree upon the decision.
THE boulevard will be built" contin-
ued the speaker, "and when it is done
there will be grand drive between Los
Angeles and Pasadena. There will very
| likely be two bouevards, because the
Pasadena avenue citizens are determined
| to have at least a drive, and there will
| certainly be another by way Of the adobe
| road You are here tonight to decide the
best way to connect the East Side with
1 this road"
| AT this juncture s. W. Candy was
| elected to act as secretary and F. P. Flint
was called upon to present the recon-
mendatons of the sub committee to the
meeting. Mr.. Flint stated that the rec
| ommenda ton was that an assessment
be levied upon the whole East Side,
which would, be little more than nominal.
with which to acquire the land on the
west side of Water street from Downey
| avenue to Pasadena avenue, which
should serve as the general entrance to
the East Side OF that land a little park
could be made, which should lead on the
one hand into Downey avenue, thence
to the adobe road along Pritchard street
and so to East Side park, on the other
out Pasadena avenue.
The motion was made and seconded
that the recomme ations be adopted,
and the citizens are invited to speak to
the question. Several did so by request
ing Mr.. Flint to explain a number of
points which were not just clear to their
minds. First that Buena Vista street
is to be widened from Bellevue avenue
to the bridge that Marchessault street
will be opened from that point to the
plaza; that after the decision on the gen.
eral entrance to the East Side is made
then the people who reside in the various
localities, as the Pasadena avenue resi-
dents those on Downey avenue, etc,
will decide which route the boulevard
shall follow, and that if both avenues
are decided upon the assessments on
one avenue will not conflict with those
on the other.
The question was then put and, car
ried by a standing vote of large ma
jority. A motion to adjourn was voted
scornfully down, and the rest of the even
ing was given over to a love feast OF
various property owners anos prominent
citizens, each and all of whom expressed
warmest sympathy for and interest in
the boulevard scheme.

ASSAULTED A CHINAMAN
John Oswald Got Into Trouble by
Being Fresh

Yesterday morning the examination
of John Oswald was begun in Justice
Morrisons court on a charge of having
assaulted Louie Gong, Chinaman, with
deadly weapon. The Celestial says
that he was walking peaceably along
Main street south of Jefferson when Os-
wald and some other boys drove up in a
wagon and began abusing him; that Os-
wald struck a him with piece of iron
pipe and he received the blow upon his
arm, with the result that the bone was
broken. The defendant claims, on the
other hand, that he and his friends were
not molesting the Chinaman, when the
latter applied a vile epithet to him. AT
this he struck Gong in the face with his
fist, telling him to the ground. He claims
that the Chinamans arm was broken by
striking upon the pavement. The case
was continued until September 14th for
further hearing.
