SEVENTH REGIMENT BAND
Will Commence Weekly Concerts on
Sunday at Westlake Park

The music-loving public will be glad
to learn that, beginning next Sunday
at 2:30 p. m, the Seventh Regiment
band will play at Westlakc park each
week for the next six months. The Los
Angeles Electric Railway company has
pledged itself to support from sixteen to
eighteen pieces, and Director Cam in
tends to form the nucleus of a represent
ative band from the best musicians in
the city. A great many people have ex-
pressed the intention of subscribing a
small sum each month, that the number
in the band may be augmented. These
people, who are lovers of good music,
know that brass band of eighteen
pieces Is hardly adequate to much of the
music they want to hear, and those who
drive to the park on Sunday, others who
go there for the music. and others who
take a natural pride in the city and de-
sire that, during the tourist season.
visitors may take away favorable i'm
preston of the park music, have sig
nifled their intention of subscribing. The
Traction company will also do it's part,
and the prospects are that the Seventh
Regiment band will soon grow into an
organization that will surpass anything
of the kind on the coast. The program
Sunday will include, among other num-
bers, a couple of operatio overtures, a
delicious Waldteufel waltz, a gavotte,
q medley of popular old airs, and Sousa's
latest march from 1.-THE Bride-Elect. I"
The latter was carefully rehearsed by
the band yesterday, and Director Cam
says: ''It will be a winner-wil beat Ell

Work for Worden

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 14.-The let
ters written by ex-President Cleveland
invoking clemency in behalf of Salter D.
Worden, condemned to death for train
wrecking, have received the attention of
Governor Budd, who will take the mat
ter under consideration at once. The
question as to the guilt of the con-
demned man is not raised; it Is his men,
tality that the petitioner wishes investi-
gated, 1t being alleged that Worden's
great excitability renders him irrespon-
sible when greatly aroused, and there
fore incapable Of controlling his actions.
BY order of Governor Budd, copies of
ali documents bearing on Salter d. Wor-
denis mental condition are being pre-
pared. They will be sent to DR.. Hatch
Of the state lunacy commission,
DR.. Gardner of Napa and Dr. Clark of
Stockton asylum, who will make
separate examinations of the facts set
forth, and they may make personal tests
to determine the condition Of Worden's
mind. They will make Independent re-
ports of the prisoners mental condition
now and his probable condition at the
time Of the commission of the crime of
train wrecking.

CLAD IN NOTHINGNESS
Peculiar Actions of Man Found in a
Field Near Downey

George Reynolds is in the county jail,
having been brought there yesterday
from Downey, charged with indecent ex-
posure. The circumstances about his
case are tinged with some mystery He
was apprehended Thursday night in a
field trying to keep warm by fire which
he had built, but he had not stitch Of
clothing upon him, and his body was
scratched and lacerated as if he had run
through the brush, or tried to climb hur-
riedly through barbed wire fence.
He ran when he saw the officers ap-
proach, but was soon caught, when he
told confused story about four tramps
who had caught him a short time before
and who had stolen his clothes and mall
treated him.
Where he had built the fire the con-
stable found the mans hat, a black
derby, filled to the brim with aluminium
thimbles, razors, scissors, and the like.
He failed to make any satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION of how these articles came to
form his wardrobe, and was brought to
this city. He is either slightly de-
mented, the officers think, or else had
stolen some plunder, of which that
found in the hat formed part, and had
quarreled over the distribution with his
pals, who had run off with his clothes.

Horned Toads Don't Go

The postoffice authorities receive a
great many inquiries from tourists,
more especially foreigners, concerning
the mailing of mounted horned toads,
tarantulas, snakes and other character
istic California curios to foreign coun-
tries. Articles of this character having
been refused at the postoffice, the deal
ers have been inclined to claim that
foreign visitors were unjustly discrim-
mated against. The following letter
from the department at Washington set
ties the matter beyond dispute:
THE articles in question are at pres
ent excluded from international mails.
They will be admissible after January
!, 1899, when the postal convention of
Washington takes effect, as you will see
by reference to paragraph 5, page AZ of
the enclosed copy of my report for the
last fiscal year.

THE CAPRON ESTATE
The Stepdaughters Make Good Their
Claim to Shares

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 14.-After a
trial lasting thirty-two days, the contest
over the will of the late John S. Capron
resulted in a verdict for the contestants
this afternoon. over $100, 900 is involved
in the litigation, the successful parties
being Capron's stepdaughters. After
Capron's death here last year holo-
graphic will was produced, dated few
days before his death, by which Capron
bequeathed the greater part of his for
tune to the children of Judge A. l..
Fitzgerald, Eureka, New, leaving his
stepdaughters with scant provision. The
stepdaughters contested the will, pro-
ducing one of earlier date, in which they
were named as beneficiaries, and also
produced deeds of gift showing that
Capron had transferred his personal
chattels to them before writing the holo-
graphic will. The verdict of the jury
declares that Capron was not of sound
mind when he wrote the Photographic
will. and that he was not free from un-
due influence exerted by Judge Fitz-
gerald.

BURBANK THEATER.-The change
of bill last night introduced Sam T.
Shaw in a four-act piece entitled Far
mer Stebbins,' in which he played the
title roll. The character is capitally as
sumed by Mr.. Shaw, who makes up as a
Vermont farmer of ancient appearance,
and wonderful powers of endurance,
if one may judge by the way in which
he goes through series of startling ad-
ventures. The old hayseed comes out
all right at last, but his experiences are
quite trying. In effect the play, such
as it is. is little other than a monologue,
in which the farmer does all the talking.
The rest of the cast was quite compe-
tent for the little they had to do, and the
performance gave evident satisfaction.
