current market lies in the refusal Of holders 10

MAIL BURNED
Two Attempts to Destroy the Postof1ce
at Chino

Postoffice Inspector Flint has been In
vestigating a series of fires at the Chino
postofice Of most serious nature. The
first occurred early last week, when the
office was discovered to be on fire, and
after hard work the flames were quenched
night or two afterwards the same thing
occurred, and before the fire could be ex-
tinguished a large portion of the mail was
consumed and the office badly damaged.
II It had not been for the accidental pres
ence near the place Of citizen, the entire
office would have been destroyed.
The investigation showed the incendiary
had adopted skillful method Of doing
his work. He had stood in front of the
office, where the drop box for letters is To-
Gated, and after filing this with paper had
dropped lighted matches into the recep-
tacle and then fled. leaving the combina-
ton to do It's work.
MIR. Flint thinks that he knows who the
offender is, and there Is probability that
an arrest will soon follow. The act Is
thought to have been inspired by personal
feeling against the postmaster. as there
was nothing for any one to gain by burn.
ing the building, except qualification Of a
petty spite. This office Is very unfortun-
ate; about year ago 1t was attacked by
robbers and looted of all the valuables.
The authorities have decided to stop this
lawlessness, and will act sternly.

WILL NOT BE CHANGED
The Children's Battleship Will Sail as
the "American Boy


The protest of The Herald, the school
girls of Los Angeles, Prof. Foshay and
many of the teachers will not avail In
influencing a change in the name Of the
proposed battleship. The American Boy.
Prof. Foshay wrote to William Rankin
Good, the 17-year-old boy of Cincinnati
who originated the idea, asking that a
change be made to Young America. Master
Good replies as follows: 1.-THE name
American Boy was chosen as the most fit
ting because the boys now will be the fu-
ture men of our nation, and, as men are
considered the defenders of a country
why not let our representative be sugges-
tive of those defenders? The girls are to
be represented in the furnishing of our
vessel. This was my plan from the begin
ming, and l hope the press of Los Angeles
will explain it to your public"
While protesting against the injustice
the girls are contributing unselfishly, some
of them making real sacrifices for the
cause, and it is quite questionable that
when the money is all in. whether the
amount given by them will not exceed that
of the future defenders of the country.
The money will be forwarded from the
Cincinnati Merchants National bank in
sums of $50 ,OOO to the United States treas
ury.
A sketch of the certificates to be given
to contributors to The American Boy fund
was sent from the superintendent office
to the printers yesterday. A handsome
flag and a picture of the Maine will adorn
the certificate. The amount of individual
contributions will not be mentioned, but
Tho certificates of the puDilS who contrib
uted 81 and l penny will be the same.

RESISTING AN ATTACK
What 1t Means to Fight
the Enemy Nowadays
r1ODERN SCIENTIFIC r1ETHODS

If we are involved in a war with Spain
or foreign nation in the immediate future,
the best authorities believe that the bat
ties will be fought at longe range whether
on sea or land. Boarding the enemies
ships and the old Nelson business of muz-
zle-to- muzzle is done away with. The mod
efn science of war is altogether different
from the old-fashioned methods. Hand-to-
hand encounters with the cutlass or the
bayonet was the old way. Now the guns
and mortars of our batteries on land and
sea will destroy an enemy two miles or
seven miles distant A parallel TO these
modern methods in the science of war is
the modern methods Of medical science. In
the good old days the doctor used lancet
on a man at the least provocation-blood-
letting was the order of the day-when a
PERSONS blood was disordered, or when 1t
was desired to fortify him against the at
tack of any fever or disease. A fortificat ton

Marshal Gard Not Dead

Think of the sensation of having to deny
the report of ones own death by bringing
ones person as proof. That is what has
fallen to the already sensational and active
life of George Gard, ex-United States
marshal An evening sheet, in its issue Of
Monday noon last, stated that Mr.. Gard
was dying, and then, presumably supposing
that he would never more read a paper
anyway, they printed some of his deeds of
years ago. all of which was in the nature
of a post-obituary notice. But some one
seems to have called their attention to the
fact that the news was of questionable
kind, and they suppressed 1t for the next
ISSUE Yesterday that paper printed what
was partial apology. but blamed the
World, from which they had taken the
alleged information without acknowledge
ment, as the authors of 1t. Mr.. Gard called
at The Herald yesterday to deny the story
and to present himself as evidence of its
untruth He claims not to have been sick
recently, and at any time Of late very far
from dying, all of which he bore out by
his appearance.

At THE THEATER


LOS ANGELES-Marie Jansen was the
bright particular star that drew a moder-
ately well-filled house last night, an audi
ence that was highly appreciative of all
that the magnetic little lady did, and that
applauded her songs, admired her cos
tunes and generally seemed to be pleased
with the spirit and grace that she'imparted
to a character that might have been made
even more prominent without fear of tir-
ing the patience of the listeners. Marie
Jansen retains those attractions that have
made her SO distinguished among the COM
ediennes of the day. and she sings with
a natural, unaffected method and a sweet
voice. The only regret that the theater-
goer will feel must necessarily be to find
so bright performer surrounded, for the
most part, by people who are not In her
class professionally, and appearing In a
piece that has such slim claims to praise
and so limited a power to evoke the ordi-
nary signs of appreciation. The play is
called 1.-THE Nancy Hanks;" its plot is in
describable. and it is worked out a good
deal in the fashion that an impromptu par
lor charade might be expected to result in
the hands of people who had seen little
and remembered @ little less ct the pop
ular farces of the past ten years. With
this distinction. that 1t is quite inoffensive.
not one Of the characters gets inebriated.
Instead of champagne, beer Is produced.
but nobody makes an attempt at drinking
1t. And as for costumes, they are Of the
properest kind. Miss Jansen does make
one entrance in a masculine suit Of white
flannel coat and trousers to match, in
which she looks. very charming, but those
aIluring creatures in tights that are to be
seen conspicuously displayed on the bill
boards are not in this instance to be seen
in the theater. There Is not even SOU
brette in short skirts.
The most sensitive person might sit
through the performance without being in
the least degree disturbed on the score
of propriety, and, while the mental effort
in following the action will not be found
exhausting, there is evidently sufficient in
the piece to furnish fair quota of amuse-
ment, outside of Marie Jansen and songs.
There is Jessie Bradbury. who sings
"Syncopated Sandy ION the Wabash"
and such ballads, with one of those oro-
tund voices that are sometimes called the
female barytone." She manages 1t very
nicely so far as the singing goes, but is not
so successful with her dance. She also
carries her chest tones into the dialogue
portion of her part, which, fortunately for
the listeners, is not very long. Miss Elice
Bertram did well in her double role, and
ought to do better yet when she gets more
of q chance.
AS for the men in the play, there is no
necessity to say more than that they
might show to better advantage in clev-
erer piece.
1.-THE Nancy Hanks" will be repeated to-
night.

Enlistment Rolls Closed

The recruiting office at the Silver Repuh-
lican clubs building has been closed, and
the books and papers and documentary
evidence laid away. They have COM
pleted a regiment Of twelve companies
with about sixty men in each company,
and they believe that is sufficient. There
have been some lively scenes around this
place the past few days, dozens of men in
line to enlist, and clerks and officers bust
ling about everywhere. The drilling of
men in the lot adjoining will go on as
usual every evening.
