MRS. LANGTRY'S NEW BOX
Regal Lodge Stands Alone in Its
Comfort. Taste and Luxury

That Mrs. Langtry is one more IN high
favor is shown by the fact that when>at
Newmarket the other day the Prince OF
Wales first of all drove with her to pay
visit to the horses which she has in train
ing, and subsequently was the star guest
at a dinner party which she gave in the
evening at Regal lodge, her racing box at
Kentford, close to Newmarket. Regal lodge
is only small place, but is most beautiful
ly furnished and decorated. Indeed, of all
the racing boxes of the English great word
in and around Newmarket there is not one
that can compare in comfort, taste and
luxury to Mrs. Langtry's place.
She has about twenty-six horses in train
ing at Newmarket, including her latest
purchases, Aurum and Uniform, both of
which she bought in Australia for $4,000
apiece. Great things are expected of these
two animals next year.
Mrs. Langtry insists on the strictest dis
cipline being maintained in her stables. She
is relentless and unmerciful in cases Oh
neglect of duty, carelessness or brutality to
the animals, and has a keener eye for short
comings than most sportsmen. Perhaps the
only feminine touch in the stable regulations
is the rule that W hen she makes her tour of
inspection each of the lads should be ar
rayed in clean, snow-white jackets and
stand at the head of the horse of which he
has particular charge. Mrs. Langtry's rae
ing stable may be said to owe its origin to
the Earl of Rosslyn, who took her into rae
ing partnership with him. His money, how
ever, soon gave out, and his entire string of
horses, including the famous Buccaneer,
passed into her possession, constituting the
nucleus of what has since become one of the
best known and most successful racing
stables in Englend.-New York World.

UNFORTUNATE KUBATA
Refused to Read His Fate, All, Now
He's Got a Starter

Y. Kubata's recent experience in the
chain gang apparently did not act as pana-
cea to his attack of lovesickness The Jap
again occupied seat in the criminal docket
in Police Judge Owens court yesterday He
was charged with disturbing the peace OF
the family Of j. Judah on Park View av-
enue, and it was all on account of Miss
Bailey, of whom the Jap seems to have be.
come enamored. Kubata met a fair
charmer some time ago in the north, and he
succumbed. The woman left that portion Of
the country and came south. The Jap
learned that she was in Los Angeles, and
after many weary inquiries was informed
that there was woman by her name EN-
ployed at the residence of Mr. Judah. The
Jap hied himself to the place and asked to
see her. The family explained that the
woman he sought was not the same Miss
Bailey who was employed at their house
The Jap persisted and finally the Miss
Bailey OF reality and not the fairy of his
enamored soul was presented to his view.
The fellow left, but later returned to the
house and claimed that the girl he sought
was being kept away from him. In other
words, he alleged that he was the victim of
a conspiracy and had been 'jcbbed." Ku-
bata was arrested on a charge of disturbing
the peace and served a sentence on the chain
gang. After his release the Jap returned to
tb Judah residence and again renewed his
entreaties to see the girl, whom he aimed
was hidden in the house. In order to ge.
rid of the little brown man, the family al
lowed him to investigate the entire house.
Rooms were entered, closets peeped into
and the garret searched, but no trace of the
girl was found.
On Sunday night, though, the dsconso-
late Jap felt the feeling coming over him
again, and he once more chased out to the
Judah house. He got into the parlor be-
fore Mr.. Judah realized who is visitor was.
The Jap was orderedlo out but he renewed the
protestations that his souls idol was con.
ceabed about the premises. An attempt was
made to remove him, but the Jap grabbed
hold of chair and clung on with the des
peration of an early Christian MARTYR. Spe.
cial Officer Wilson had to be called to take
him away. The Jap pleaded not guilty and
demanded jury trial. Six men will com
pose the jury when the case comes to trial
en- the 9th. And yet, after the display OF
tenacity on the part of Kubata, some people
still maintain that an alliance with the jams
would not stick

ANOTHER UNFORTUNATE
TAKES POISON FROM A WISH TO
ESCAPE LIFE
STRYCHNINE IN HER WHISKY
But Will Recover as a Result of Hard
Work at the Receiving
Hospital

Another unfortunate tried to shuttle off
this mortal coil last evening. About 9:30
the patrol wagon was called to 5l31s South
Spring, and found middle-aged woman
evidently suffering from the effects of poison
self-administered She was taken to the
receiving hospital, where Drs. Hagan and
Merritt HIT worked over her for nearly
an hour. The poison was determined as
strychnine, and had been taken in whisky.
| The stomach pump was used with good ef.
| feet, and the woman will recover
AT the lodging house where the woman
resided the landlady professed to know very
| little about the matter, as she had been in
possession Of the premises only week. Ac
| cording, to, her story the would-be suicide
had come to her house ON Monday evening
with a companion who was suffering from
a strain.
| Last night the landlady was called by the
companion, whose name was given as Mrs.
McCafferty, and found the other woman in
great pain. The following note was found
in explanation of the decd:
Mrs Mac
Should you wake up before do please
see that / throwed in some kind Of a hole
and l will bless you on the Judgment
morn and say you are the one that stay
with me until went to Fred Good by
and God bless you is the sincere wish Of

| P.S. Tell Mrs. Marceux that thank
her for all her goodness to me and will
meet her on the r morn to tell Jesus
that she cured me for Fred sake.
| Mrs. McCafferty, when seen, said that the
writer's name was Mrs. Fred Grannis, and
that she had known her for some sly weeks
during which they were both inmates Of the
Kings Daughters Rescue home, at Eff
teenth and Los Angeles streets. The Mrs
Marceux referred to in the note is evidently
intended to be Mrs. Marcourt, matror o.
the institution.
No reason for the attempt at suicide could
be given other than that the woman was
despondent. She would give no reasons
when questioned, and claimed that her
name was Mrs. Ida Smith, appearing to be
very much disappointed that her attempt

DR.. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN
MEDICINE
A Remarkably Successful Remedy for
Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Stomach Troubles {.

DR.. Wurth, In commenting on recent dis
coveries in medicine, said: There Is none
which is certain to be so valuable and far
reaching in benefit as Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets, the new stomach remedy; L say
far-reac ching, because people little realize
how important q sound stomach and vigor-
Gus digestion is to every man, woman ant
child.
| Indigestion is the starting point of con.
sumption heart disease, Bright's disease
diabetes, nervous prostration, LIVER trou
bles. Why is this SO? Simply because
every nerve, muscle and tissue In our bod
| les is created and nourished from the foot
we eat If that food Is, by reason of &
weak stomach compelled to lie for hours
a sour, fermenting mass of half digestet
food, it poisons the blood and nervous sys
tenn, creates gas which distends the stom
ach and bowels, causing pressure on ,h'
heart, lungs and other organs, and serious
ly impeding their action.
He says further, the point to direct at
tention to Is not the nerves. nor heart, mo-
lungs, nor kidneys, but the stomach, th'
| first cause of all the mischief.
| The remedy to use for indiges ticn an;
weak stomachs is not some cathartio, br
a remedy which will digest the food. in
crease the flow of gastric juice, absorb th
gases, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
accomplish exactly this result in any cas-
of stomach trouble. because these tablets
are composed of the digestive acids, septi
pepsin, Golden Seal and bismuth, pleasan
| to taste, and not being patent medicine
can be used by anyone with perfect safety
| I believe Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will
cure any form Of Indigestion and stomach
| trouble except cancer of stomach.
| Full size packages of Stuart's' Dyspepsi;
Tablets are sold by druggists at 30 cents
or by mail from F. A. Stuart Co., Marshall
Mich. A book on stomach diseases, to
gcther with thousands of testimonials, will

USES GOLF HOSE FOR LEaoINcs
She Says They Beat the Others All
Hollow

Now that winter really seems to have ar
rived, the girl of the period has turned her
attention to something that will keep her
warm and at the same time look neat and
not in the least bunglesome. Caters are so
decidedly out of style and make her foot look
large besides have large buttons up to the
side, that invariably catch in the skirts and
ruin many a dainty silk petticcat, that wo-
men no longer wear them.
The long, closely knit wool tights that
reigned Tor so many winters are so much
trouble, if girl is in a great hurry, and
Chicago girl usually is so she has discarded
the tights. Attention was turned to the
old-fashioned .leggins that our grand.
mothers were wont to wear in cold weather.
But that was before the advent of the hi
cycle, and many other accessories to girls
comfort and pleasure, and the leggings are
so clumsy, and not in the least dainty. So
the up-to-datc maiden has invented IA new
contrvance for the golf hose
She purchases those without feet and pulls
them on over her stockings to take the place
of legcines, tights and CATERS. They are
comfortable, look well, and arr tight
enough to stay up without guards Of any
sort.--Chicago Chronicle.

Pasadena has for twenty-five years op-
posed having any saloons here. On Satur-
day, December 10, the Los Angeles Brewing
company filed in county records a certilf-
cate of increase of its capital stock from
$4,000 to 100000, and the document is
signed: wv. s. Wright, secretary of the
meeting of stockholders of Los Angeles
Brewing company above described, and
secretary of the corporation" His name
is also signed as one of the directors.
A liquor trade paper of Los Angeles ir
June of last year boasted that they had go;
saloons into Pomona at last, and now they
were going to get them into all the dry
towns of Southern California. And If oui
present city attorney is kept in office by
the council, we feel that in the light o.
the facts above given, we have good reason
to fear that saloons are to be forced upor
Pasadena also; and at any rate the exist
ing condition of things fully justifies al
the action we have taken.
