Many Of the small farmers in the county

Many Of the small farmers in the county
have been forced to give up their little
places, being unable to raise even sufficient
feed for the horse or COW which they might
have possessed and they have come to the
city in the hope of finding employment how
ever humble, in the larger field. Some have
been successful, the majority have not.
Much help has been given them by people
who can i'll afford to spare even a mite from
their scanty store, but an abundance of food
and clothing is required to relieve, or even
mitigate, the suffering of these poor, unfor-
tunate and generally deserving ones.
These people cannot obtain food or fuel
from the merchants on credit and they have
no money to pay cash for them, and unless
the people Of Los Angeles, on whom Dame
Fortune has smiled more kindly; come to
their assistance, many heart breaking occur
rences viii. be chronic.ed before the close Of
winter.
! One Of the most. pathetic cases yet re-
ported is that of an old French woman, 81
years of age, who lives at 733 Central avenue,

She has son, but he, in old-blooded man
ner, it is said, has deserted her without q

has come to the door of starvation, and, in
her pride, would have entered but for the
kindness and solicitude of her neighbors
who, although financially able to do but lit

to Captain Frazier of the Good Samaritan

Over the First street bridge in the old river
bed lives family of eight in tent which is

culiarly touching one, and deserves more
than passing interest. The father is fine
looking man Of energetic habits, who, some
time ago, had the misfortune to break his
righ. elbow, which has left it in slightly
disabled condition. The mothers face
shows traces of pleasing comeliness, now
almost obliterated by the deep lines of care
which have been brought into it by extreme
pr.vation, and the children, ranging in age
from to 16 years, are unusually bright and
attractive.
Three years ago the father was ranchinq
on small place near Oceans:de, but the
dry season so impoverished him that he was
forced to abandon it and with his family
he went to Tolucca, where during the fruit

AT THE THEATER

THE LOS ANGELES.-Th performance
of Shakespeares romance OF the forest, "As
You Like 1t, by capable company, headed
by rising young actress of more than local
celebrity, ought to have been sufficient to
attract a large audience in a city that boasts
Of as many Shakespeare clubs as does Los
Angeles.
1t would appear, however, that the Shake
speare cult is an entirely superficial amuse-
ment, for the theater last night was not
well filed when Janet Waldorf made her
appearance as Rosalind.' 1t would not be
fair to expect an ideal performance of the
greatest of pastoral comedies in this day
of neglect of the study OF blank verse and
want of appreciation on the part of the
public of the merits of good acting. And
yet it may be said to the credit of the
little company that supports Miss Waldorf
that the presentation of the play was wor-
thily attempted, and the result was both
pleasing to the eye and satisfactory to the
judgment.
Miss Waldorf is well endowed for the
part of Rosalind, in which she m;S:es a
pretty picture, carrying off the disguise with
more success than is ordinarily ACCOM-
plished. That she has yet good deal to
/ do in perfecting her Interpretation may not
be disputed, but she acts with SO much
grace, intelligence and evident power that
her course seems destined to be upward
and onward.
OF the company, Mr.. McVay's Jaques
was an impressive performance, thorough
" adequate and restful. Mr.. McGrsgor
has vastly improved since he was last seen
here, and his Orlando had many points Of
! excellence. Ellen Boyer's Celia and Mrs.
Curriers' Audrey were each deserving OF
commendation. The omission of the epi-
logue and the substitution of country
dance was an alteration that was not an
Improvement. As whole, however, the
performance was very pleasing one, and
il may be hoped that the presentation OF
Twelfth Night" this evening and of ':Ro-
meo and Juliet" tomorrow night will at
tract large audiences. CAS- You Like IT.

what the climate would do for them. In
some cases these hopes have not been rea-
izcd and the funds becoming exhausted
they have at last arrived at stage where
they have been reluctantly forced to ask for
help. Being physically unable to help them
selves they have been forced to put curb on
their natural sense of PRIDE and accept reliei
from the charitable associations of the city.
This class is found to be the most difficult
to succor, as many go to the last extremities
before they will make known their pitiful
condition.

David S. Whitaker, gentleman who has
long held the place of index clerk in the Of
fee Of county clerk and who claims to have
had assurances of re-appointment by Mr..
Bell, the county clerk-elect, was unable to
find his name in the listas published yester-
day. In its place he found that of w. q.

hereafter draw the $75 per month allowed
for the services of an index clerk.
The associates of Mr.. Whitaker feel keen
~ the disappointment which falls SO heavily
on him on account of his crippled condition.
Mr.. Whitaker has a wife anGseveral chill
dren, no accumulation of property and has
been forced to use his salary as soon as
learned. Restricted to certain employments
by his Affections he does not know where to
look for a new engagement. His friends are
hoping that some readjustment Of the staff
may yeti be made by Mr.. Bell SO as to carry
out what Mr.. Whitaker believed to be a
distinct understanding for his reappoint-
ment.

The Question
~. y.

This will not be merry Christmas for
hundreds of men, women and little children
OF this city. A prominent member OF one OF
the largest charitable institutions in the city
informed The Herald that this has been the
hardest year in charity work ever known in
Los Angeles. 1T has been time when those
most willing and anxious to work and thus
provide for themselves and their dear ones
have utterly failed in their endeavor to find
the needful employment whereby they could
earn even enough to insure even meager
existence, and many men and women, here
tofore self-supporting, have been forced to
sliccumb to the grim inevitable and ask aid
fronr.the charitable institutions. 1t seems
almost impossible OF belief that in this land
of sunshine and flowers and seeming plenty
that fully three thousand souls are absolute
ly destitute, with gaunt starvation staring
them in the face. There has never been a
time in the history OF the city when such
widespread distress has hovered, with its
dark clouds, over hundreds of homes, and
that the seriousness of the situation has not
been exaggerated the investigations of a
Herald representative, who visited many OF
the destitute families in the districts most
affected yesterday prove. The destitution is
here. sometimes half-concealed, but more
pften so pitifully apparent that the proudest
heart could not hide the signs OF hunger
showing in the emaciated face and form, nor
the most profuse apologies hide the glaring
absence of everything in the way Of house
furnishing, except for the absolute necessi.
ties. -
The cry OF want and suffering is not con.
fined to any particular locality, although in
the district bounded by Los Angeles street
and the river bed and Ninth and San Fer
nando strets will be found by far the largest
majority of the severest cases of destituton.
7 Several things are responsible for this un-
usually serious state of affairs Our city has
one misfortune, to contend with that is not
the case with most others. Our mild climate
is so widely advertised that we have the in
digent individual with us in large numbers,
from every state and almost every city in
the Union. Perhaps they were not among
the needy when they came, having small

Trimble-Lewis Fight

Jimmy Trimble and Ben Lewis will meet
at catch weights before the Manhattan club
tonight. They will fight fifteen rounds, and
good bout is expected. Trmble s quick,
clever and hard hitter, as he demon
strated in his two fights with Billy Gala
CHER before the Los Angeles Athletic club.
Lewis has had some hard fights since his
arrival in this city and in nearly every case
he made splendid showing. Lewis has
been training hard since the recent match
was made, and he says .nat he is feeling
stronger than at any other time he has
trained. He has been trained by Frank
Lenwood of Bakersfield, who is said toobe
good l65 pound man and is ready to meet
anybody in his class. There will be some
lively preliminaries in addition to the big
event. -
