Veraneo tranquo. crisis futura. Jefatura del par
tdo liberal. Moret Weyler. .-El observatoro neteo-
reologico de Igueldo.-El sacerdote el rey. La
familia real en- San Sebastian. El general Poavieja.

El verano vase deslizando sosegada-
mente. EspafIa duerme la sesta tendi
da entire Europa y Africa, con la dulce
tranquilidad de quien Sc We libre dc
preocupaciones y cuidados. La polftica
duerme tambien. No podEa ser de otra
manera, porque naci6n y polftica son
una sola cosa, aunque de tempo acs
sea moda hab'ar de aquela como de al.
go muy diferente y nluy superior & esta
La una es sombra de la otra Y reheia
con absolute hdelidad sus rasgos esen-
ciales.
Pero la polftica suefia mientras duer.
me y tiene suef1os muy interesantes.
Aver encontre un amigo que los conoce
todos 6 que 10 nenos presume de CO.
nocerlos, y ese amigo, polftico eminente,
espiritu perspicaz y patriotico. quiso ha-
cerme confdente de sus noticias acerca
de los ensaeflos, acaso fuera meior
declr de las pesadillas, polftico-veranie-
gas. Departfamos mientras caminAba.
mos por una empinada carretera, bien
cuidada, sombreada por copudos arboles
admirando la belleza y variedad del pai-
safe, compensation mas que sufciente
de la aspereza del camino.
Tema: la crisis venidera.
--lCree usted que sera en- Octubre 6
en- Noviembre?
NO me extraharia, pero sera una
crisis accidental, sin importancia. ST
no ocurre algo i1nprevisto, el cambio de
gobierno Sc veri6cara mas tarde. Nj
siquiera merecen atencion los rumores,
va desmentidos por cierto, de TN minis
terio presidido por Moret, 6 por otro
personaje cua'quiera del partido liberal.
Atribulase q este ministerio la triple
mission de ssrvir de indicator del here
dero del sef1or Sagasta, dar descanso q
este sehor, y facilitar la transici6n del
partido liberal al conservador
Tenga usted la seguridad de que
mientras que Sagasta viva, siquiera
mientras este valido no delegara en-
nadie los poderes. En- primer lugar,
porque no quiere nj guerra jamas hacer
delegation alguna. En- segundo lugar
porque aunque quisiera no podrfa. El
partido liberal es Sagasta. Sin Sagasta

To-Night for the Mems Club at the City
 Mission
 At this evenings entertainment at the City Mission hall for the benefit of the Berkeley Mems club Professor Ball will include in the exercise of his magical art the making of fine confectionery from hatful of sawdust in plain view of the audience; the eight mystical rings, which disappear when thrown into the air and, at the word of com- lnand, appear again in different parts of the hall: the wonderful hat from which half a bushel or more of vegeta- bles, clothing, etc, are taken and the hat returned to it's owner in the audi ence; the magic coin, which are appar- entity drawn out of the air, and after being thrown again into space are found in all sorts of impossible places; the mysterious ring, borrowed from some lady in the audience, thrown into the air and found again in the middle of fresh, uncut lemon. The phono- graph selections will also be well worth hearing. Admission by ticket, or on payment at the door, will be 15 cents for adults and 10 cents for children under twelve.

Enjoyable Affair at the Pequot Last
 Night
 For very commendable purpose a. splendid charity dance was given at the Pequot last night. About twenty-five couples of young people were present, and the sum realized is to help defray the expenses of keeping a little girl who is i'll with consumption and who is now spending a few weeks in the Adiron- dacks.
 Mrs. F. B. Walker, state president of the Tribune Sunshine society, was the prime mover, and to her efforts much of the success is due, A popular pro gramme of dances was given, and a buffet luncheon was served.
 Among those present were Misses Gilbert, Walker, Blogg, Elliott, Tal- madge, Perkins, Welch, Booth, Beers, Lum Farnsworth and Brown, Mrs, F.. B. Baker, jr., Farnam Fox, N. Fitch, Charles Wells, Edward Burgess Percy Steele, Carroll Baker, F. B. Baker, jr., Ralph H. Schneeloch, George Matthews, Adam Mackie, George Hamilton, Frank Hamilton Walter Garde. J. E.

prominence for his honesty and de-

he was made the candidate for mayor,

however.

ActorS in China are very well paid,
but are much despised. No actor or
son of an actor, says the Chicago News,
can compete at the public examina-
lions for the literary degree which is
the doorway to public office, and con-
sequently the actors profession, when
once adopted, is vital to those who fol
low it.
An English doctor was called to at
tend young actor whose leg was in
bad condition from careless treatment.
The foot had been amputatRl as re-
suit of compound fracture caused by
a fall on the stage. Filth and neglect
had done the rest, and there was very
little chance Of the mans recovery
Still the doctor felt justified in taking
that chance and therefore amputated
The mans leg. To the surprise of the
doctor, the leg healed by first inten-
ton, and in few weeks the actor
was ready to resume work. The doctor
fitted him with an artificial leg, and
his good fortune began.
He at once undertook a part where
his leg was knocked off, to the horror
Of the audience. After the apparent
accident he was carried off the stage
and presently reappeared, walking as
well as before.
The Chinese are unfamiliar with ar
tifcial legs, and each time the dramat-
ic incident occurred they regarded 1t
as miracle.
