LOS ANGELES THEATER-The en-.

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-The en-
gagement of Fanny Rice closed last
night with the performance of an oper-
eta entitled "a Flower Girl Of
Paris" The flower girl who pervades
the scene is of course the fair Fanny
herself and her funny, squeaky little
voice is in evidence most of the time
An occasional opportunity is afforded
to the other members of the company
and they take advantage of it, when it
comes, very gratefully and to the salts
faction of the audience.
The piece is made attractive by using
costumes of an ancient vintage; that of
Louis XIV of France being alleged in the
program. If the manners and customs
of that time are also faithfully por-
trayed by the members of the company,
it follows that there was no difference
between the Paris of Louis the afore-
said and the Chicago of to-day.
But the little opera-comedy is made
bright with the scintillations Of Fanny
Rice's coquetries and ingenious say
ings.
To be sure genuine comedian like
Drew has to stay under a table for
twenty minutes while Fanny talks and
sings, and he is expected, no doubt, to
raise laugh when he energies from his
concealment The other members of
the company have similar fine opportun-
tiles for displaying their abilities. Miss
Michelena made best use of the opening
given her and sang well in solo as we'll
as in the concerted music. The sextette
from Lucia was not travestied on this
occasion, but some liberties were taken
with the Mikado and other compositions
Illustrative of the Louis Quinze period.
That the star of this engagement has
made lot of money out Of such indif-
ferent materials is a rather sarcastic
comment upon the taste of the great
public which makes such success pos
sible.

Church Critics.

Editor Jno. M. Caldwell of the
Jasper News publishes the follow
ing in the last issue of his paper
"E. w. Agnew, the OcaIa banker
who was sentenced to five years
imprison ment in the United States
penitentiary, was member Of the
Baptist church in Ocala. His
church took no action against him
till his every effort to clear him
self of the charge ag Ainst him
failed. Not till several weeks az
ter the supreme court hal eff i'm ed
the decision of the courts below
dt4the church take action, and
then with sorrow and r,gre: they
withdrew from him their fellow
snip.
Thereupon some editors in this
State have criticised the action Of
the church. They have erdeavored
to draw pathetic pictures of the
scene and represent the church as
being hardhearted, uncharita bic,
and so forth.
These critics are not Baptists
a2d therefore it il, IN the first
place, none Of their busine SIS how a
Baptist church exercises it's discip-
line.
Their attempt to dabble in mat
ters which does not concern them
is unmannerlY and unbecoming.
Furthermore, it takes neither
courage nor brains to criticise,
find fault with, and misrepresent a
church, for the church don't strike
back. ANY coward can "cuss" a
church; any fool criticise its &C
tions.
We have no patience with the
spirit that is always finding fault
with the churches. The churches
with all their faults are the only
dividing line between civilization
and heathenism; between educa-
tion and ignorance; between moral
light and darkness, and palsied be

IMPORTANT PENSION DECISION.
Ruling That May Give Many ChiIr-
ants Arrears of Pay.

Assistant Secretary Davis has rendeled
a decision of some intere st to pension
claimants Charles GeronZin, OF Cine
natl, who served in Company K, I0sth
Regiment, departed in July, 862, for
Nicaragua, and was not heard from after
wards. His wife made various attempts TO
learn of his whereabouts She communi-
Gated with the authorities in Nicaragua,
but could discover no trace of the missing
man. There was one witness, who test
fled that he h3d heard that Geronzin was
an embezzler, aud the inference was that
he had fled to escape arrest for that Of
fense. This was hearsay, however.
The Commissioner of Pensions decided
that the alleged widow could not receive
pension, because the proof Of death was in
sufficient. The law provides in such cases
that lin considering claims filed under
the pension laws, the death Of an enlisted
man or officer shall be considered as sUffi
cieItly proven If satisfactory evidenc is
furnished that the soldier has been in con
tinued and unexplained absence from
for seven years; and any pension granted
under this provision shall Cease upon proof
that the soldier is still alive
Under this provision, Secretary Davis re-
verses the former decision, and allows pen
sion 30 the claimant, with arrears for Seye II
years. A number OF like cases will he af-
fected by this reversal.

HUCKSTERS TO BE SILENT
Commissioners Will Not Permit
Them to Cry Their Wares.
Original Decision Adhered To-Rea-
son stated by Mr.. Wight and a
solution Suggested.

The Commissioners have decided TO hold
to their decision prohibiting hucksters from
crying their wares on the street.
In "a letter to Mr.. q Backenheimer, sec
retary Of the Licensed Produce Dealers As
soCiatlon, today, the Commissioners after
referring TO his request to have the regula-
tions prohibiting the crying of wares mod
fled say that they have had the matter
under earnest consideration ever since Mr.
Backenhcimer presented II To them and
have repeatedly conferred about il in the
hope that they might find come prac-
tiCable way TO accedc TO his wishes The
Commissioners, however, the letter cites,
have been reluctantly forced TO the con
clusion that il Is not wise TO make any
change in the present regulation, as 1t
would be impossible TO establish any stand
ard 10y which 10 discriminate between the
noises that would create annoyance and
those that would not do so.
Commissioner Wight, in speaking of the
matter 10 a Times reporter this morning,
said that the Commissioners had arrived It
the conclusion that hucksters must be r..
strained from crying their wares, in view
of the fact that 1t had been found i'm
possible to decide upon a pitch OF voice to
be used 10y the hucksters that would he
satisfactory all around. A CRY that would
not be Objectionable to a pedestrian on the
street would be highly objectionable to a
sick person in a neighboring house.
The Commissioners realize the fact that
with the restraint imposed on their
crying their wares the hucksters will be
tempted 10 ring door-bellS to solicit orders
Commissioner Wight has advanced the
idea Of having each housekeeper who de-
sires TO buy from the huCksters post a
small placard with the word ''Hucksterr
written thereon in front window, to at
tract the huckster's attention. With such
a device, which is in successful operation
in several cities, nobody would in Commits
sioner Wight's opinion, have any reason Co
complain.

EXTENSION OF HIGHWAYS
Court Order Ratifying the jury of
Appraisers Verdict
Compensation Fixed for Land Own
ers Through Whose Property the
Proposed Streets A re To Pass.

In con formity with recent decision
of the Supreme Court of the United States,
confirming the constitutionality of what
is known as the highway extension act,
Judge Cox today issued an order annul-
ing the order of the District court, dated
June /, 1896, and ratifyiBg in rart the
verdict Of the jury of appraisers award
ing compensation to certain land owners
through whose property the prol ose Il streets
pass.
The highway extension act provided that
map should be made of all street cx-
tensions and that board Of appraisers
should determine the value of the lands
condemned as right OF way and also the
amount which the remaining property had
appreciated, if at all, by reason OF the i'm
provements.
The property owners should then, the
act further provided, receive cOmpcnsa-
tion on the one hand and be assessed the
amount of the rise in value OF their lands
on the other.
The board Of appraisers, it will be re-
memhere d, acting under the instructions of
this law, made such an appraiSement in
the case OF the subdivision, known as the
Denison and Leighton subdivision, Of Mount
Vernon, TO which appraisement both the
Commissioners and the lot owners objected,
such being brought before Judge Cox.
Judge Cox decided that the law, at least
In part, was unconstitutional, in which he
was sustained by the District court Of
appeals
Both parties To the suit, however, ap-
pealed from this decision To the United
States Supreme Court, which affirmed
the constitutonality OF the act.
The order issued by Judge Cox today is
numbered 4l9, District court, and pro-
vides that the verdict Of the jury of APP
praiserS is ratified with regard to lots %,
1913, 124, 125, 1876, I27, 90, 81, 50 and
113 Columbia road, and lots 12l, 122,
102, 50 and 5S, Kensiugton, and that a
permanent right OF way for the public
over these lots shall be condemned for
