1t is saidlthat Lilli Lehmann has found

served by Hungarian waiter, who, as
soon as he could, asked her about her
conservatory in Berlin. She teaches
only the favored ores-young people Of
talent and of voice-so she smiled at the
eagerness of her attendant, and asked
him If he could sing. He was so bold and
confident in his affirmative that Leh-
mann told Cathenhusen about it, and
the waiter was told to call and have hts
voice tried. He did, and a short time ago
sang for Nine. Lehmann and her hus-
bard, Paul Kaliscl1, at the hotel. Judge
OF her astonishment when the fellow
poured forth the toreaGor's song with a
voice as rich as oil, as sweet at honey.
He has a barytore of range and power
and goes to Berlin to have 1t cultivated
next season. Catherhusen has him In
hand now, and perhaps some day this
treasure trove may be heard in grand

The Democracy Of Southern Cali
fornia Must Stand Firm

Hon. John W. Mitchell, the we'll
known attorney, has just returned from
San Francisco after an absence of nearly
q month in Northern California on legal
business connected with contest for a
valuable tract of land in Australia.
''what is the political situation in the
north?" asked Herald reporter of Mr..
Mitchell yesterday. "Is there any move
ment there as YETI"
"Well, yes! While I was busily en-
gagged in personal and professional mat

tics and the coming campaign, which is
over year away. being discussed by the
leaders OF both parties. In fact have
never seen prospective state cam
paign so eagerly and thoroughly die-
cussed so far ahead as Is at present the
case. AS you know 1t Is a state election
and all the elective state officers from
governor down will have to be elected.
REPUBLICAN POSSIBILITIES

during the last legislature was not as
entirely successful, nor satisfactory as
his friends had hoped.

strongest men the Republicans have,
but as to whether either of them can get
the nomination Is the question. Fitz-

men in the state before the people. Ha

record-from a Republican. standpoint.
But according to my idea this is not a
Republican year and the Republican
nomination will be an empty honor
And then the Republicans north are
fighting among themselves for the fed
eral spoils and the leadership of the
party, and the consequences are not
going to be beneficial"
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
"Well. what about the Democratic
situation?" asked the reporter.
"That is a little mixed at present.
1t is generally though that Budd. Ma
guire and Phelan will be candidates be-
fore the next state convention for gov
ernor. Budd has not declared himself,
nor has Phelan. But Maguire's friends
say he will be a candidate. All of these
gentlemen have elements of strength.
Governor Budd has warm supporters
who claim that his record as governor
warrants his reelection. Maguire's
friends claim he will be the strongest
man before the people, and cite his
large vote in San Francisco last fall,
This is attempted to be offset by the
claim that his siEgle-tax record will
weaken him. Phelan Is making good
record as mayors q clean, scholarly
man, and can afford to make q cam

nine in the fret game. after which the
latter team will try conclusions with
the Francis Wilson's. Batteries for the
Trilbys are johnson and Carroll; for
Los Angeles, Thomas and Kaymer, and
for the Wilson's, Jack Moore and Kid
Henry. The different teams are putting
up ball that would do credit to any

creased attendance at each game. The
