EASTERN MEN

Capitalists Negotiating to

A Great Revival of the Industry in
This State Predicted for the
Coming Summer.

1t is believed by those in a position TO
know that many of the big lumb Der plants
of this State will be purchased by Eastern
capitalists soon. A gentleman who has
long been connected with the lumber in
dustry of this State left for the East a
short time ago, and it is said that his
Journey was made for the purpose OF
negotiating the sale of lar e tracts of tim
ber land in Hum boldt, Mendocino and
Shasta counties and several old estab-
lished lum ber- mills in different parts OF
tho State.
4 gentleman who thoroughly under.
stands the situation stated that for long

gagged in the lumber industry have been
looking toward California with view to
investing in the lum Der lands of the State,

Great inroads have been made into the
tim Der in the Eastern forests, and now
the capitalists who have EN- barked in that
business are anxious TO control some OF
the great red wood and sugar pine forests
of this State. For that purpose these men
have made combinations, and with the
large capital thus insured they hope to
buy up the principal forests and mills

There are three groups of these CAPT

Mansfield in "Beau Brummel.p

n an interview published yesterday
Mr.. Warner gave The Times information
OF some OF Mr. Mansficld's future plans.
Mr. Warner stated that his star was most
desirous OF giving up certain OF his plays.
and that he was now arranging for two
new ones OF an entirely different nature
to anything that he las yet attempted
The new plays are more on the order Of
The Prisoner of Zenda;" romantic come
dies. perhaps, they might best be called.
Mr.. Mansfield has played the most Of
his repertoire SO many times, and some OF
its plays are so diStasteful 70 him, that
this new material is not only welcome To
him, but may. he thinks, be acceptable 10
the public.
And yet the audiences that have greeted
him in his two most played parts, Baron
Chevriai and Beau Brummel, this week.

we are tired of them. The Partisan

A DEBUTANTE'S WARDROBE

An important gown for the young girl
just out in society is the one TO be worn
on the street one not too elaborate for Il
morning walk and still smart enough for
a luncheon or afternoon reception. 1t is
almost impossible to make one gown do
duty for these several occasions, SO
there should be two-a rough dy
tailor-nlade Cheviot, severely plain, but
well-fittiug, and a smooth-faCed cloth Of
bright blue, braided with black. the waist
in reality jacket, tight-itting and braided
in military fashion with black. With this
is worn boa and muff of siver-gray
fur-a color that only fresh, Young faces
can stand.
This second gown might be OF bright
red, with black satin. made with a bolero
Jacket and gold buttons, or of gray worn
with a gray felt hat, trimmed with ostrich
feathers. bolero jacket and full belt and
front of rose color satin relieved the
gray.
Eton Jackets are favored this winter.
They are more suitable to young girls than
to elderly women, and dressrnakers have
not been slow to take advantage OF this
fact Dark brown velveteen, or dark red,
make charming street costumes made with
the Eton jacket. One of brown has a
tight-fitting waiStcoat and broad belt Of
yellow silk, trimmed with bands Of mink.
Short jackets of seal or Persian lamb are
desirable, but must always be short, as the
longer coats are only for older women.
Russian blouses in fur, belted with a mar
row gold belt, are in fashion. None of the
fur garments close at the throat, but open
to show jahots and rows OF ribbon and lace
to the discomfort and future pneumonia of
the wearer.
Daintiness should be the predominant
feature in a debutante's evening gowns.
White and the light shades of. pink. blue,
yellow and green are prettiest. At the
Assembly Ball in New York nearly all the
young women who made their first appear
ance wore white, looking exquisitely fresh
and simple in spite OF the fact that the
gowns were rich and could have been made
only by the smartest modistes. Light gauzy
fabrics, made over silk or satin underslips
were the rule: sometimes tulIe skirt had
satin waist trimmed with tulle One
gown of embroidered chiffon had pattern
of love-knots interspersed with garlands
around the skirt, which was also trimmed
with double ruffle headed by a very full
ruche, all through which were punches of
tiny pink roses. The waist was OF plain
chiffon, with il girdle of pearls and rhine
stones. Puffings of chiffon encircled the
decollette- The hair was dressed high with
little stiff spray of pink roses
The round-cut evening waist off the
shoulders is more fashionable than the
square-cut, and, whileit shows the shoulder,
can still be arranged more modestly than
the other. All evening gowns are worn a
trifle higher and have a soft fold or two
Of lace or chiffon arranged as a tucker
Lace berthas are worn, but are OF narrow
lace, caught up SO as not to hide the lines
OF the figure.

Victor Hugo,s Letters.

The first volume of Victor Hugos letters
has just been published in Paris and end-of-
the-century writer's are amusing them
selves over evidences of how the famous
poet guarded his popularity.
He carefully watched the ne wspapers, in
variably sending thanks for eulogistic
notices and never allowing uncomplimen-
tary remarks to remain unanswered
To all the youthful, wonld-bc poets who
sent Hugo their verses he replied in polite
If vague phrases: Your sun is rising and
mine is declining,"''I am the twilight and
you are the dawn You have the oak
within you-let it grow etc, etc.
Such old-time courtesy is in direct oppo-
sition to the methods of modern authors,
who so frequently pose as scornfully diff
ferent to criticism.

Deathbesdi' Repentance.


The different nations have their own
sayings concerning deathbed repentances.
They are curious as well as sharp. Some
Of them are these:
Persian-Barley at the foot of steep as
cent is useless-that is. il you have starved
your horse, SO that he has become thin and
weak, will beto no purpose tofeedh him WI hen
you Come to a steep ascent-that is, pre-
paration for an enterprise should be made
beforehand.
Russian-When he wa S drowning he prom
ised an ak; when he was rescued he gave
only the handle.
Oriental-The wise know how TO quit the
world before the world quits them.
Turk-He who at eighty begins to learn
music can hear himself at the Judgment
day.
Arab-While the antidote is Coming the
snakebitten man dies.
China-It is too late to pull the rein when
the horse is on the edge Of the precipice.
1t is too late to stop the leak when the
vessel is in the middle of the river.
Turk-We die as we live.

Thrusts from the Rams Horn

Tile faultfindcr would growl about the
weather il it were raining money.
1t is hard to believe that there is death in
the sin that wears mask of gold.
The world is full Of blind Samsons, who
spend their lives grinding in a mill.
Give until you feel it, and you will feel
more like living than you did before.
A big man in little world is as much
out OF place as little man in big one.
There is nothing like telling good news
for imparting pleasant tone TO tile voice.
II the devil had to wear the same old
coat every day, lie would never leave the
pit.
1t would be bad for the church if she
knew no more of God than her preachers
teach
When mans wife believes in his religion
it is pretty good evidence that he has the
right kind.
This world is a kindergarten, IN which
Gods little ones learn to spell out the
meaning Of life.
There are people in every church who
stop believing the Bible whenever a col
lection Is taken.

they m ust fit closely to the head to be in
style this winter, and the hair generally
extends beyond them. When the sharp,
hard lines of velvet or Jet are unhecoming,

The little Normandy bonncts are among
the new designs. They were shown early
in the winter, but did not meet with much
favor Lately they have been revived,
with some needed notifications.
With a high waist any of these little
tonnets is considered suitable for the opera
in the orchestra stalls. but this year it is
fad, and a M ost sensible one, to arrange
the hair well and not wear any bonnet,
and certainly il adds greatly tot the brilliant
effect of the house, having the women with
uncovered heads and in demi-toilette when
not in full ball dress.
