A WHITE HOUSE BELLE
Queen Victoria's Attentions to Niece of
President Buchanan

A few days since the cable brought word
that Queen Victoria had given special
reception to Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston
at Windsor Castle. 1t is announced that
the Prince and Princess of Wales are
shortly to pay similar honor to this dis
tinguished American woman, who, while
her uncle James Buchanan, was president
of the United States. filled the onerous
position of Lady Of the White House"
most graciously.
Miss Harriet Lanes first appearance IN
public life was as the companion of her
uncle in London, where, from the spring
of 1854 to the fall of 1866, she shared with
him the social duties of the American min
lister at the court Of st. James. 1t was a
trying post at that time. The Crimean
war was on, and there was considerable ir-
ritation and friction between the British
and American governments, growing out
of certain questions of neutral duties raised
by that conflict. Napoleon III was then at
the zenith of his power.
Miss Lane appears to have made a deep
impression upon English society, and more
than one Englishman of high rank paid
court to her in vain. In the fall of 1855,
however, Miss Lane returned to America.
Mr.. Buchanan's letters to her from Lon
don, where he remained little longer,
bear evidence that her departure was sin
cerely, and by some of her admirers. sor-
rowfully regretted. At his last audience
with her. the queen desired to be kindly
remembered' to Mr.. Buchanan's beautiful
niece, whose conquests among her cour-
tiers were we'll known to her. 1t was the
talk of London at that time that Miss Lane
looked very much as the queen had looked
before her marriage A foreign corre-
spondent, describing her at the first New
Years reception at the White House. after
Mr.. Buchanan became president, wrote:
1.-The AngloSaxon beauty in full toilet
de demi-deuil. wearing no ornament but
necklace of seed pearls, looked charming,
receiving the ladies and gentlemen pre-
sented with grace and affablity. She was
surrounded by groups of diplomats and
officials. with ladies Of her acquaintance,
forming a picture more beautiful, although
not so gaudy, as the sovereign she resem-
bles; that is. before Queen Victoria be-
came Mrs. Albert Guelph"
It is not necessary to tell Baltimore read
ers that the heart and hand of Miss Lane,
sought so earnestly and vainly by titled
Englishmen. were given in 1858 to Mr.. Hen
ry Elliott Johnston and that her husban nd
to their graves. 1t was In this city that
her married life was passed. Like the
queen, who has just shown her an unusual
honor. her later years have been sorrowful.

THE IsTHMUs REVOLT
Warships at Hand to Protect Amer
lean Inte<Dsts

WASHINGTON, Feb S.-Captain Leutz,
in command of the Alert, has cabled the
navy department that he has landed ma
rines at San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, for
the protection of the American consulate,
owing to the fact that revolution has
broken out
The Alert is at San Juan del Sur, the
gunboat Marietta is at Libertad and the
gunboat Newport was at Greytown on the
east coast at last reports.
This afternoon a cabegram was re-
ceived at the navy department telling of
ment at that end of the Nicaraguan canal.
The captain said that he had landed a
force for the protection of the United
States consulate and the government
forces had given notice of their intention
to lombard the town. He had taken on
the Alert all of the women and children
who cared for refuge. The bombardment
began yesterday and in the end the rebels
were driven out of town, which was en-
tered and taken possession of by the gov
ernment troops. The rebels retreated to-
wards the interior Of the country.
The opinion among the Central Ameri-
cans here is that the insurrection has been
a mistake from the beginning and is
doomed to failure owing to the prepara-
tions of President Zelaya to meet the
storm The outcome of this uprising Is
awaited with much interest because 1t II

TWO BOLD HOLDS UP
CITIZENS MADE TO STAND AND
DELIVER LAST NIGHT
Both the Robberies Occurred Near
First Street-Police Are Saga
ciously Secretive

There were two hold-ups last night,
at places almost within pistol shot of
each other. Both occurred before mid
night, and both were committed by the
same men, for the descriptions of the
robbers were similar in each case.
The first was on Bunker Hill avenue,
near First street, and the other occurred
on Grand avenue, near the same street.
Both cases were reported to the police,
full details being given, but with the
usual sagacious secresy, the names of
the victims were not made public. In
the Grand-avenue case, a citizen was
stopped by two men, who covered him
with revolver and demanded his
money. There was othing for him to
do but to submit, and the ruffians took
81 from him.
In the other case no particulars were
given out by the officers. The robberies
were reported at the police station i'm
mediately after they were committed.

Norman s. Averill, who is we'll known
in educational circles throughout this
part Of the state, was elected secretary
of the board of education last night, tc
succeed H. G. Johnson, who has held
that position since the present board

G. S. Hogan, a well-known contractor
and builder, was chosen to fill the place
made vacant some time ago by the
resignation Of the corruptionist and per-
jurer Axtell as superintendent of build
ings and janitors.
The election was made possible by the
vote of DR.. Mathis, who has deserted the
Webb element in the school board and
has reduced the once all-powerful solid
six to a minority of four.
All of these advantages were accom-
plished at an adjourned meeting of the

LOS ANGELES THEATER.-The Sec
ond rendition of 1.-The Serenade" by the
Bostonians, which was given last night to
a crowded house, was in many respects
even more enjoyable than that of the
night previous. The participants seemed
fully to realize the friendly feelings of
the audience and the performance went
with a swing and an abandon that
brought out many little points of excel
lence that were not so prominent on the
first night. Mr.. rockingham, for in
stance. was more highly amusing in his
role of Gomez, the ambitious tailor who
desires to be able to sing, and Harry
Brown, although he really has but one
scene that gives him a chance. made the
most of it, without making 1t unduly
prominent.
There were two changes in the cast
last night, Mr.. Barnabee's part of the
duke being assumed by w. H. Fitzger-
aid, who is presumably the regular un-
derstudy for the character, seeing that
he was perfect in the lines, the business
and the songs, everything being done
after the pattern set by Mr. Barnabee-
in some instances, it is only fair to say,
that it was rather a long way after the
pattern.
The other change was in giving the
tenor role of Lopez to Grafton G. Baker,
a young gentleman who has a pleasing
voice, which shows capabilities of devel-
opment. His singing Of the pretty song,
II Envy the Bird" was twice redemand-
ed, as much on account of the melody as
for the way in which it was rendered.
This number ought to become a draw
ing-room favorite, as it is admirably
suited to the capacity of the average
society tenor.
The "Angelus" in the second act, led
by Jessie Bartlett Davis in her own de-
licious style, scored another success. II
1t pity that this number is not given
with the organ accompaniment written
for it, which would immensely increase
it's effect. ''The Serenade' will be re-
peated tonight for the last time.

admirers of this fine organization.
