NOT JUST RIGHT.

Thomas square is artistioally
laid out, there is no question, but
for human eye to realize its
beauty a balloon must be charter
ed. Its concentric and sinuous
walks are invisible from any side,
but the plan must be very pretty
on paper. The landscape garden
er who designed it, whether pro-
fessional or amateur, evidently
did not consider the rapid growth
of foliage, which should at an
early day obscure the nice curves
on the ground. He certainly left
out all the beautiful element of
vistas, excepting along the four
sides. But the walks along the
sides are not the most pleasant
ones, because they are exposed to
dust blowing off the streets, and
considerably to the suns rays.
Usefulness and convenience are
essential elements in landscape gar
dening as in architecture, and hence
in parks and squares, elsewhere,
the provision of short cuts for pas
sengers is generally prominent
feature. There is no such thing
in Thomas square, but the con-
trary seems to have been studied.
1t would be very convenient, and
pleasant too, to have straight
paths diagonally from King street
to Beretania street. They would
add to the elements of beauty also
with the vistas beneath the over
hanging and varicolored foliage
and flowers. Lately the trees
were thinned out in this little
park, but without improving its
appearance. The process has only
left the semblance of bites out of the
margins of the wood, with so
much more grass for the Chinese
gardener to Intellectually try to
keep green. Nothing was attempt
cd in the way Of making the
square a convenient thoroughfare
for busy men coming from or go
ing to their homes. In not being
a convenience the paths are so
much less a pleasure. They could
be made convenient without any
detraction from the beauties of
the place, but on the contrary
rather a great enhance
ment thereto. When the
next thinning OF foliage becomes
necessary, the plot should be
pierced with yistas, with walks
beneath, and not have unsigbtly
gaps hewn out of the sides. At
present the plan of the square is
but scrambling forest in NINA
ture, with maze of walks inter-
secting it that can only be COM
pretended on the map-if there is
a map of the place.

AN EARLY MORNING BURGLAR
Captured on Main Street With His
Plumber

Shortly after o'clock yesterday morn
ing Officer Benedict saw a man walking
along Main street with a Winchester
rifle swung over his shoulder and a re-
volver in his hand. He was trying the
action of the gun as he went. The officer
dropped back into stairway and, as
the negro, as it proved to be, passed,
stepped out and grabbed him. He was
escorted to the police station and, on
being searched, another revolver was
found in one Of his pockets.
The negro was identified as Eugene B.
Johnson, who applied at the station
few nights ago for lodging. 1t was
learned that the arsenal which he car
ried had been stolen from Fanta's pawn
shop on Main street. He had broken q.
plate glass window with rock, which
had been wrapped to deaden the sound
The rock was found rear the broken
window. Johnson is thought to be the
man who burglarized the Russell Hard
ware company's store at the corner of
Fifth and Broadway several weeks ago.

The negro was arraigned on charge of
burglary and will appear before Justice

solids in the milk. According to the
terms of the ordinance the milk sold
shall not contain less than 3.4 per cent
of butter fat, II per cent of solids and
not more than SO per cent Of water
When the tests We're first made it was
discovered that a number of dairymen
sold milk that was below this standc 1
and the arrest and conviction Of num-
ber of them followed. During the last
week twenty-eight tests of samples were
made and only two of them were found
to be below the standard. The general
average of all of them was: Foy butter
fat, 40429 per cent and the total solids
1922 per cent.
"The people of Los Angeles are now
getting a better article of milk than

terday, 'and no opportunity will be
given those of the dairymen who desire
to sell an adulterated article to do So"

SELLING GOOD MILK
Tests by the Health Officer Show That
Few Dairymen Use the Pump

In his efforts to enforce the ordinance
against the sale of impure milk in the
city Health officer Powers has been
more successful during the past few
weeks than he had ever hoped. His sys-
tenn is such that dairyman, who has
been making a practice of diluting his
milk, is likely to be caught at it at any
time. Assisted by his several deputies,
DR.. Powers has been carefully collect
ing samples of the. milk vended to pri-
vate consumers and restaurants. and
each of these samples is subjected to a
careful test. Nearly half Of each week
has been taken UP with these tests, in
which the most improved apparatus is

premely beautiful performance. There
is no artist on our stage who could 80
vitalize the intensely human but COM
plex character of Magda. In fact, so ex-
quisitely truthful in the broadest sense
is Modjeska's s delineation of Sudermann's S
heroine that we rather suspect the play
takes on the appearance of virtues it
really has not. 1T is upon Modjeska, at
all events, that ones eyes rest contin-
uously, and the success of the play is
essentially her triumph"

AS a play it has not only succeeded
wherever produced, in bringing clergy
men to the theater in great numbers
but it has been preached about by every
denomination of clergymen and from the
pulpit has come advice to go and see IT.
The mere announcement of a sermon on
it has crowded churches. IT has tended
to bridge over the prejudice of radica

1t will be remembered that William Fl.
Cranes new play, "A Virginia Court
ship" was given it's first production on
any boards in San Francisco on the
actors recent visit to this coast. 1t was
received in that city with very mild ap
probation and on it's next performance,
which occurred in this city, took occa-
sion to express some opinions with re-
gard to the piece which were not in har-
mony with the sentiment that APP
parently prevailed here. The first verdict
of Importance that has been passed upon
the piece since it left the coast was on
it's recent production in Chicago. Here
are one or two specimen bits of the crit
icisms in the leading papers Of that city;
"But as a work of art, A Virginia
Courtship is pretty nearly patent
fraud. Major Fairfax is close copy OF
Sir Anthony Absolute in The Rivals.
He has a scene with his son in which he
demands that the latter shall marry
woman unknown. which has its counter
part in the one between Sir Anthony
and Captain Absolute in Sheridan's
play. The widow of French descent is
very like Lady Gay Spanker in London
Assurance and her daughter para
phrases Lady Gays famous speech de-
scribing the fox hunt. The rascally
Jack Neville is Joseph Surface from
The School for Scandal In fact, Mr..
Presbrey has not merely followed his
models, he has impressed them into his
own service. There is a difference be-
tween this and sheer plagiarism, but no
play which owes SO much to it's fore
runners deserves to be considered seri-
ously. The audience charitably accepted
the piece as an agreeable compilation of
scenes and figures from well-worn and
favorite plays; not a murmur was heard
even when the finale came along in th,
guise of an emasculated version of the
duel scene from The Rivals -
Modjeska has been playing in Chicago
in MARY Stuart 'Magda" and "Adii-
enne Lecouvreur" with great success.
Messrs Lonergan and Haworth have
also been the recipients Of praise for
their work as her principal support. A
leading Chicago critic says:
IF anyone had the smallest doubt
about the strength of Modjeska, or OF
her full retention of her artistic powers,
it was smashed to smithereens last
night. Modjeska never acted with mora
dignity, never showed more completely
here absolute mastery of the technique
of her art, never struck fire out of her
audience with surer, sharper blows than
she did last night. 1t was In the first

not meet with the approval of all the

need of praise for her rendering of the

boy dress, and also in her free and easy
manner as a juvenile rake, but she was
best in her woman's raiment,' and her
expression of diversified moods of i'm.

change from masculine to feminine gar
ments and from swagger to naughty

tional brilliancy of pictorial effect"

about a hundred thoughtful and

POSTAL SAYING, gANKs.

One of the arguments for the estab-
lishment of postal savings banks is the
way in which the money-order system
of the Postoffice department is used.
This system was instituted for the ac-
commodation of persons who cannot
forward money by checks, but it seems
to be used, more particularly in the
West as a savings bank. Money or
ders are often obtained by persons
who have a few dollars to lay away.
This is made evident by the operation
of the law. which declares money
order void when not presented for
payment within one year. When a
money order is retained by the payee
beyond that period it can only be re-
newed by the superintendent of the
system, in Washington, and the num-
Der of cases where money orders have
been retained for one two, three and
even more years is surprising. The
records show that in most Instances
where money orders are not presented
within the prescribed period, the or
der was purchased by the payee with
no other purpose than depositing his
money.where he knew it would be safe
until it was wanted When the orig
inal money order has become void a
duplicate is issued, upon application,
by the superintendent and void dupli-
Gates are replaced by warrants upon
a fund created for uncalled for money
which has accumulated since the sys-
tenn has been in operation. Hundreds
of cases could be given where farmers,
miners, mechanics and other persons
have used the money order system for
a savings bank among the most strik-
ing being the case of a miner at Lead
vile, Colorado, who purchased an order
for $1,000 payable to himself, and per-
mitted the money to remain on deposit
| for five years. For the sake of the Sc
curity afforded by depositing the money
with the government he was not only
willing to forego the interest which he
would have received had the company
been placed in savings bank or other
wise invested, but he paid the commits
sion demanded by the government for
issuing the order.
