friends once wien we both sang in
the chorus in miserable little theatre
in Naples. She sang quite as we'll as
then, and she was handsome girl and
her future looked brighter than mine.
But somehow in the strange lottery of
art rose and she went under with the
wheel. She had youth. beauty, vigor,
but was one Of the countless thousands
who fail. When found her years after
ward. dying in charity hospital in

scarcely ten years old then. II you had

you were the one person who did not
change toward me. You have become
indispensable TO me, but am no longer

from the prcprie.ors OF toe house
and find it excellent. All. NaIette, did
you really think could stand between
you and happiness! You have been a
good girl, Nanette. You have stay ed
with me when We did not stop at hotels
like this one. and when your wages were
not paid you for weeks together
Madame. it is you who have been
good! Always giving and giving to a
poor girl like me with no voice at all.
You know that / would rot leave you

Are you sure you can be happy so?
Think what it means! No more music,
no more great personagee. no more
plunges from winter to summer in q
single night. no more Russia, no more
Parie, no more Italy. just little house
somewhere in a strange country with a
man who may have faults Of bis OWL,
and perhaps little children growing up
about you to be cared for always. You
have been ussd to changes and money
and excitement, and those habits of life
are hard to change, my girl"
Madame, you know how it is. One
sees much and stops at the best hotels
and goes to the best milliners-apd yet
one is not happy, but stranger always.
I hat is, l mean
"Yes, l know too we'll what you mean.
Don't spoil it now you have said it. And
yet one is not happy! You will not be

"Alone! Why, Madame, Arturo is

Tradutorri looked xistfully at her
shining face.
"How strange that this should come
to you, Nanette. Be very happy in it,
dear. Let nothing come between you
and it; DO desire. no ambition. 1t is not

MIKE WILSON EXAMINED

testifying to make complaint to the court
of the treatment members of the chain
gang receive at the hands of the Off
cials in charge. He alleged among other
things that certain members of the gang
had had no food for nearly twenty-foul
hours, with the exception Of some coffee
to drink. Guard Cochran explained tc
the court that the prisoners merited al
the punishment they got. He said tha
Richardson was himself one of the tough

SOME TRANSPARENT SALT
The Morelos Worm-Other Interest,"
ing Subjects

The Crystal Rock Salt Mining Co. has
placed an exhibit in the chamber Of COM
merce, one specimen of which Is a slab
about four inches square and fully an
inch thick that is so clear a printed
label pasted on the under side is clearly
legible. The salt fields Of this COM
pany are in the eastern part of San Ber-
nardino county and cover 1852 acres.
They have already gone down siXtytwo
feet and the supply shows no signs of be-
ing exhausted. A couple of feet from the
surface the yield is perfectly clear as in
the specimen on exhibition, and chem
ical analysis shows the grade to be 1913,
the highest degree of purity 80 far
known in the world. Instead of grind
ing, the salt is put through boiling cloth.
1t never cakes, therefore. or Jumps, and
each grain is perfect little cube. There
are three grades; the first is used for ta
BILE and is put through three cloths;
the second is for dairy use. and the third
or lowest grade is used for any purpose
where coarse salt is available.
The chamber has sent to the agricul
tural department al Washington, and
also to the fruit inspector at Nogales,
to see what measures can be taken to
keep the Morelos worm from being i'm
ported. They are beginning to ship
oranges from Vera Cruz, and there is
fear that those oranges may have this
very tough worm in their little in
side" 1t seems that fruit which is af-
fected by the Morelos, or infested with
it, looks perfectly sound on the outside,
but under the rind or in the center it is
black and perfectly useless. The worm
seems to be propagated in the fruit be-
fore it grows ripe and then eats out the
heart of it. Consequently apprehension
is felt lest the cars that transport the
Mexican oranges may become infected
with the larvae of the Morelos, which
may in turn affect the California or
anges. Hence the above recorded pre-
cautionary steps.
e. T. Sturtevant of Cahuenga has
placed on exhibition a beautiful speci-
men of Japanese lotus and water lilies of
several colors, and they are all blooming
serenely and picturesquely on the sur
face of the pond in exhibit hall, and the
two small water turtles that live in the
pond and play tag among the stems or
roost contentedly on the broad pads
aspire not for greater bliss.

VIVE LA FIESTA
But There Can Be None Without
Subscriptions


A canvass for signatures to the sub
scription list for the Fiesta next year is
being pushed rapidly ahead, because it
is imperative that before the end of this
month the committee should know
whether or not enough money will be
subscribed to undertake another cele-
bration.
In order to make the most economical
arrangements and enter into contracts
that will conserve to the best ends for
all concerned, the various wheels must
be set in motion forthwith. For in
stance: Work on the floats should be
commenced next month, but 1t is abso-
lutely necessary to have the matter set
| tied that there will be a Fiesta in 1898
before finger can be lifted.
So spake Secretary Walton yesterday,
or words to that effect He says that
| the outright refusals this year have been
very few and are much more than offset
| by the raise in other subscriptions; but
| ii is the uncertain ones that are holding
| matters back.
| There are a great many people who
say they are perfectly willing to help,
| that they want the Fiesta and intend
| to subscribe to it; but they seem un-
willing to name any set sum that they
will give. And so it goes, and the COM
mittee are handicapped in many ways;
whereas, if those who signify the inten-
ton of subscribing could be persuaded to
sign their names to the list with the
sums opposite, they would not be re-
quired to actually pay out the cash until
next spring; and yet, the money being
subscribed and in sight, the committee
could proceed promptly and systemati-
cally with their work of preparation,
and in such a way as would be product
i've of the best results all around.
