GOING TO ALAMITOS
Chamber of Commerce to Inspect the

An invitation to visit the new sugar

PETITIONS TO THE COUNCIL

A numerously signed petition ad-

the Office Of the city clerk yesterday
afternoon asking that the improvements
now uncompleted on Third street, be-
tween Crocker and Santa Fe streets, be

that more than six months ago the street

LIGHTNING KILLS CONNECTS
Four Stricken Dead in a Georgia
Camp-Twenty Escape in
the Panic.

Chicago. ILL.,, June 2S.-A Daily News
special from Dacota, Ga, says: During
Il terrific thunder storm. lightning struck
Il convict camp near here last night and
as Il result four conyicts are dead, ten
are dying and twenty escaped during the
panic which ensued.
The camp is 1T the lumber mills of
Greer Bros. and about 100 prisoners
from the state penitentiary were at work
there. Last night during supper the
storm came up and struck the dining
shack, demoishing it. Two of the con-
yicts. negroes, were instantly killed by
the lightning stroke. two others, white.
died from their injuries a few minutes
afterWard and ten were shocked so bad
~ they are dying. About twenty of the
fclons. seeing their opportunity, dashed
past the guards, who We're panic-strick-
en-. and made good their escape. After
the guards recovered they got out their
blOOdhOunds and the dogs were put on
the trail. but owing to rhe heavy rain
which fell the tracks had been well coy
cred up.
Only two of the escaped men were cap
tured and they bad been in the hospital
tent for few days and were too wea k
to get away. The widest excitement
reigns and hundreds of people are out in
pursuit. The state will offer reward if
the men are not caDtnrpd.

MilIet's Wife.

The immediate cause of Millet's ceasing
to be a painter of the nude, which sold
more or less and kept his family from
starvation, was a conversation which he
overheard in Paris. But the support in
this crisis of his life-Which sent him to
Barbizon-and during the CHASTITY priva-
tons of the next twenty-five years came
from his wife, peasant of Normandy
like himself. The anecdote of the Wife's
cheerful decision on the eventful night
in Paris has a prominent place in Mrs.
Henry Ady's book on Millet.
Millet had lavished all his skill on the
modelling of Hagars form and intended
the whole to be a striking study of the
nude. Suddenly, when the picture was
almost finished, he changed his mind and
stopped short.
For one evening as he stood before the
lighted window of Deforge's shop he hap
pened to see TWO young men looking at
one of his own pastels, a drawing of a
woman bathing, which he had lately sold.
One youth asked the other VINO had paint
ed this picture. His companion replied:
"a man named Millet, who never paints
anything but naked women"
The words were q shock. His friends
had often admired his nude figures and
praised his skill in flesh painting But
never until that moment had he realized
that his reputation as an artist depended
on this kind of work. He went home
that evening and said to his wife:
If you consent: | will paint no more
of these. Life will be harder than ever,
and you will suffer, but I shall be free
and able to do what l have long dreamed
off,
The brave woman replied: Il am
ready. Do as you will. y

academy, and he speaks through the me-
dunn of the great review. No trade con-
ditions, no paralyzing need for log-rOll-
ing, hamper his efforts. He may speak
the truth defiantly Here no critic would
dare do that. The scholarly, appreci-
alive Woodbury. has in many of his es-
says shown that he has the capacity to
speak with convincing truth OF cOntem-
pOraneOuS American literature, such as
1T is, but he cannot. The personal rela-
ton makes it impossible fer him, for in
stance, to say exactly what the merits or
shortcomings of Mr. Mabies latest work
are, and it would be practically impossi-
bic for Prof. Brander Matthews to print
precisely what he thinks of HoWells, or
Tor towels to give, as he could give,
an estimate of the qualities Prof Mat
theWs reveals in his sketches and short
tales. There is no American academy
which may defy the exigencies of trade
or the advertising agent; and we have no
Revue des Deux MOndes which is entire
~ superior to the counting room
Perhaps if we had real criticism we
might see signs of the coming of a real
literature. The sham article that pa sses
for criticism serves only to encourage
medlocrlty. Nearly all of our so-called
critics have ambition to write pure lit
erature, and each is tempted to pat the
other on the back with lively sense of
reclprocation. Mr.. Howells tries to de-
stroy our cherished faith in Dickens and
Ihackeray, but it is with soft speech and
gentle touch that he calls attention to liy-
ing American writer's. Suppose an Amer
lean Brunetiere should review American
literature of the past twenty years. What
fierce assaults upon him there would be:
how complete and deadly his ostracism!-

QUEEN BACK IN LONDON.
Not Likely that She will Again be
Seen in Public After This
Week.

London. June 2S.-The Queen returned
to London this afternOOn-her final jubl-
lee day, but one-and made what most
probably was her last jubilee appearance
in the metropolis, for, with the celebra-
ton that closes at AldershOt on Thurs
day next, the state appearances of her
ma jeSty. it is stated on fair official au-
thority, will be finished; that hencefOrth
for whatever span of life may be LETT to
her Queen Victoria will confine herself
10 such work for the state as can be
done at Windsor. Balmoral or Osborne.
All those official functions such as draw
ing rooms, public ceremonies. opening
town halls, hospitals and the like, which
bring the sovereign face to face with the
people, will now be relegated to the
Prince and Princess of Wales.
Her majesty has witnessed and has
been the object of scene never sur
passed IN material splendor and moral
significance since the British empire was
created. For the occasion she put aside
her own eVer-present SORROWS and gfiefs,
in order to join in the exultation of the
empire. The result was beyond the eX-
pectation. Everybody had known that
The jubilee would be remarkable, but few
realized how great would be the fervOr
and strength of the popular feeling. The
sounds far more than the sights were
4 revelation.
The Queen thinks. so the statcm
runs, that she has done enough. The
eXampled devotion and acceptance If l.
obligations to her people have after sixty
years well won her rest and in so far as
the sovereign can she now proposes to
let the burden of responsibility fall on
those who must bear it when she passes
away.
1t was the knowledge of this, pathet-
ically mingled with loyalty. that lent such
deep interest to today's visit to Kensing
ton. Going to her birthplace, possibly
for the last time, revived for the Queen
all the associations of childhood, made
more solemn to her in that it was here
she first knew sse was a queen and that
crowned. As her majesty has always
cherished with passionate attachment ev-
cry tender sentiment. tOday's visit was
one of mingled pleasure and sadness, it
seemed indeed a farewell

Criticism in America.

lola, having been told that Brunetiere
had, in a lecture delivered in New York,
criticised with a severity of denunciation
which almost equaled political invectiye
the writings of lola, made no reply.
There was none for him to make. He
could have done no more than again to
defend his methods and ideals. He could
not deny Brunetiere's authority, nor
could he justly accuse that profound
French critic of personal animosity. The
first essential for true literary criticism,
Brunetlere declared in one of the Ameri-
can lectures recently given, is that the
critic absolutely divest himself of all per.
sonal feeling, either of friendship or en-
nifty. His great authority, his kingship
In the realm of literary criticism, is due
partly to the fact that he is known al
ways to approach his subject absolutely
free from any personal bias, unhampered,
and at full liberty to tell the truth.
1t is precisely for this reason that in
France there can be, and is, a high, just,
truthful standard of literary criticism,
while in the United States there can be
none. That we have intellects compe-
tent for great work in literary criticism
is not to be doubted, although we have
no great literature for the employment of
talents of that kind. But no man who
has the capacity and the learning neces-
sary for such criticism as made the name
of Saint-Beuve illustrious, and has en-
abled Brunetiere for many years to serve
with success the Revue DIES Deux Mondes
as it's critic, could, or would, write abso-
lutely truthful and just American criti-
cism. Behind Brunetiere is the French
