ORPHEUM.-The bill last night con-
tained as holdovers some Of the best
turns given last week, and with the in
fusion of some excellent new material,
made up a capital evenings entertain
ment.
Mollie Thompson, in strawberry
cream costume cut decollete above and
below, gurgled her little songs and
played on childhood's s. musical toys. The
Wood and Ryan turn was much ap-
plaudeG. Delmare and De Ramiere had
the good sense to discard their tramp"
make-ups and appeared to much better
advantage than they did last week.
| They have little or no sense of humor,
but are clever performers on variety of
| Instruments.
Jules and Ella Garrison repeated their
duologue of last week. 1t Is amazing
how little originality or versatility there
is III this class of vaudeville artists. One
would imagine that something new
could be found to say during the second
| week of an engagement but these peo-
do not seem to know or care about max
| ing any changes in their monotonous
bill of fare. Morton and Elliott do a
mixed act, one portion of which is made
up of some clever harmonica playing,
and. the other Is an oddity not seen here
| before. One of the men, being blind
| folded takes large sheet of paper, ard,
| after folding 1t in various ways, proceeds
| to tear pieces out of it iI an apparently
| aimless manner. The result, when un
folded, is large table cloth sized sheet
of delicate and pretty lace pattern, and
the words "Orpheum Theater" worke d
! in.
The ubiquitous tramp Is the next fea-
ture on the program, and he is. In the
person of Nat M. Wills, the queerest-
looking bum that ever trod the stage
1t is very clever personation, not
nearly so repulsive as some of the speci-
mems seen on this stage lately, and yet
thoroughly characteristic of the tribe
Wills has also the merit Of being funny
and even when his jokes are old ones
as most of them are, he tells them well
enough to raise hearty laugh. His
partner Is Miss Loretto, particularly
plump and pleasing young person, cos
TUNED in the traditional manner, and
dancing a Spanish dance very grace
fully She acts with the tramp in a
style only seen in vaudeville sketches
and the pair secured by far the largest
share Of the evenings applause.
The program was wound up with a
very elaborate double trapeze act by
the sister Vaidis, at the conclusion Of
which one of the two performers made
q dive from the level of the tor
gallery into large net spread over the
lower part Of the auditorium, sensa.
tional feature that raised some alarm
no doubt, as it appeared a highly daring
and dangerous act

Stopped the Fight

Sam and Antoine Perry and another
man engaged in a three-cornered fight
yesterday afternoon near the Santa Fe
depot. Just when the scrap was get
ting lively an officer spoiled the fun by
stepping In and taking part in the en-
counter. He placed the Perry brothers
under arrest, but the third man escaped.
At the police station they were booked
for disturbing the peace. Afew minutes
later their father appeared and bailed
his two cons out. They will appear in
court today. s7',s' '1'si' 5'l

A PIONEER GONE
Death of Mrs. Andreas de Palestine
Lugo of Lugo Rancho

.N6o Va 6uSO 1sdIlClO
Very many of the old time merchants
of Los Angeles and Southern California
will be surprised and shocked to know
that Mrs. Andreas Palestine de Lugo is
dead She passed away Sunday at the
age of IS years, death being caused bv
ills incident to old age The funeral will
be held from the Roman Catholic cathe-
dral in this city this afternoon and the
remains will then be taken back to the
ranch for interment in the cemetery
near there.
Mrs de Lugo and her husband, who
died in 1891 were famed far and wide
as the owners of the great de Lugo ranch
OF 39000 acres, which stretched from
the mountains to the sea and from river
to river, the rivers being the Los An
geles and San Gabriel streams. 1t orig
inally included what is now the suburbs
of Downey.
Mr.. de Lugo gave the ground on which
the first Roman Catholic church in Los
Angeles was built He was immensely
rich inz the early days--so rich that he
could not estimate his possessions. Sto-
ries are told Of how he would nut his
gold into measure. When the meas
ure was full 1t would be thousand
dollars. His herds of cattle and sheep
were almost countless. The ranch was
the great stopping place for travellers.
Indeed, they could hardly visit this sec
tion Of the country without hitting upon
the de Lugo ranch.
The great fortune Of lands and money
was dissipated by one menas or another.
and at the time of the old lady's death
she was quite poor. She left four BOYS
and one girl, all grown to maturity, and
some forty nephews ana nieces in the
neighborhood.
The news of Mrs. de Lugo's death was
brought to the city by Henry Rich. who
owns the adjoining ranch

Incendiary Blaze

An alarm was turned in from box 175
yesterday morning at 5 o'clock, caused
by fire in the. grocery store at the cor
ner of Twenty third and Central ave-
nue., owned by MIR. Bond. The blaze
was evidently of incendiary origin, as
the faucets Of the coal oil cans were
found turned on. Enough draft had not
been provided for, the fire, and it was
discovered before it got under good
headway The prompt action of the
fire department saved the building and
stock. The loss was only about SIS.

past year. These arrests consisted of
burglary and larceny, grand larceny,
