Madame Modjeska as Hermione

rare artistic treat is in store for
the people of Los Angeles in the pres
entation of "a Winters Tale" at the
Mason opera house on the night of
March on which occasion Madame
Modjeska will impersonate Hermione,
assisted by the pupils of the Cumnock
school. The event will be a notable
one on other than artistic lines, as the
performance embodies a benefit to the
Sisters of the Good Shepherd, whose
order has lately been introduced here
by Bishop Conaty, and who have since
their arrival in Los Angeles been the
medium of much good to young girls
Whittier and other quasi penal instt-
tutions. This benefit has assumed all
the features of a highly fashionable So
cial function, and the play viii be fol-
lowed by a reception, at which the most
distinguished citizens of Los Angeles
have signified their purpose to be pres
ent. The committee having the affair
in hand, of which DR.. Murphy is chair
man, embraces nearly every gentleman
of note in the Angelic city, while the
patronesses include the elite of our So
cial life. From every point of view the
function is sure to be one of distinc-
tion.
Judge Wilbur S. Curtis, who presides
over the juvenile court has given ear
nest and cordial testimony to the good
work which has been done by the Sis
ters OF the Good Shepherd. Although
these ladies belong to an order of the
Roman Catholic church established in
Cren, France, as far back as 1882, their
charity is not restricted by religious
sectarianism. and there has been no
attempt at proselyting. Their voca-
ton is to make good and useful women
out of wayward girls who are in dan

SALVATION ARMY MASS MEETING
Large Audience Hears Address of
Commissioner kilbey

"I would rather see soul at the
feet of the Savior than any other sight
in the world" said Commissioner Kill
hey at the welcome meeting held for
him by the local Salvation Army at
Simpson auditorium yesterday after
noon. Col. French of San Francisco
presided at the meeting and made a
short address, introducing Commis-
sioner and Mrs. Kilbey.
Commissioner Kilbey read the tenth
chapter of st. Luke, commencing at
the twenty-fifth verse, giving the par
able of the good samaritan.
He pointed out the different charac-
ter and spirit of the three men and
said in part
God looks at character. Plenty of
people are passing on the road from
Jerusalem to Jericho in our day and
fall among the thieves. There is the
virtuous young girl, from her Jerusa-
lem to her Jericho, who is robbed of
more than money. There are the young
men. What are we doing to help
them?
what is the good of our saying this
If no one feels the benefit of the love
and warmth of our hand grasp? The
samaritan must meet the demand of
Gods law and manifest the love OF
his great heart"
Mrs. Kilbey followed the commits
sioner, giving some of her experiences
in the rescue work, where love and
kindness are more potent than all else
She said:
what the world needs is love and
compassion. The world needs this and
our Master has set us a grand example
OF seeking out those in sorrow, want
and distress. Love and compassion

JAPANESE ART.
IMPROVING ON NATURE.

THE Japanese are wonderful people.
Their arts and crafts have long
l. been the admiration of the world;
Not only do they produce the most
exquisite creations in metal and porce
lain, but they even take living animals
and plants and by sheer persistence cause
them to alter their natural shape and
growth. They have produced race of
goldfish with two tails, and tiny apple
trees, only few inches high and yet
bearing fruit are often seen in their
gardens. Any effort to paint the petals
Of the lily or add fragrance to the rose
can only result in discontinue. AS futile
are the attempts so often made to initiate
the glow of health on the human skin by
the use of paints and cosmetics. The
color of the complexion is due to a pig
ment on the inside of the skin and its
glow and bloom are due to the pure red

"WHAT is A MAN WoRTHw
Chaplain Kidder Says Humans Never
Reach Limit


Chaplain Kidder of the Strangers
Friend society spoke yesterday after
noon at Burbank hall on What Is a
Man Worth" He said in part:
1.-The world at different periods has
placed different values upon man.
Different classes of people today place
different estimates upon the worth of
men. The man of Galilee alone knew
the value of man.
"The materialistic evolutionist today
considers man only as ruler in the
animal kingdom. The mere philosopher
sees value only in what man thinks,
but Christ estimated the value of a
man by his longings. The animal king
dom has no longings, the present is
sufficient. Man at his best is always
striving to be better. His real worth
is in this because his limit is never
reached in this world.
"Man as a laborer may be worth 50
per day, as a banker he may be worth
$40, but as men the values may be
reversed Man is more than a laborer,
more than a banker, more than a
manufactures, more than merchant,
more than any occupation or profess
sion can make him.
"A man may easily be estimated as
minus quantity so far as his value
to society is concerned, but yet in him
self he is valuable enough for a whole
community to toll for his redemption.
Christ never uttered a word that be-
Titled any man.

EXPECTS FRUIT FROM REVIVAL
Rev. VIM. Horace Day Says Pentecost
Has Come

At the First Congregational church
yesterday morning the pastor, Rev.
William Horace Day, preached the
first of a series on "Seven Crises in
Apostolic Christianity saying in part:
1.-THE Book of Acts is the account of
it's progress from a Jewish sect in
Jerusalem to a world religion pro-
claimed in Rome by st. Paul. The
first crisial hour in that progress was
pentecost. We have been passing
through a modern pentecost. The
whole world is feeling the power of
the spirit in human lives. What was
true of the first pentecost we may
expect in our pentecost.
"'Ye shall be witnesses was Jesus
promise. Before that mysterious day of
power they were poor witnesses. 1t is
the duty of the minister to be a wit
CT lrch office; these may bear testi-
mony, but men forget that every fol-
lower of Jesus is to be light not
under the bushel, but on the candle
stick of witness bearing.
This city has been stirred till even
those who mocked have marveled be-
cause powerful preaching has paved
the way for the messages of multi
tudes of witnesses to the power of
Christ to save men from their sins. If
this blessed work is to go on it must
depend upon the willingness of Christ
!ans to make for the spirit as he en-
dows them for testimony. Never fear
to bear witness. He who prompts you
to speak will go before to prepare the
way in the hearers heart and give
your word favor"

sermon on 1.-The Limits Of Freedom
and Progress" He said:
1.-THE universe belongs to God, and
he also has unlimited freedom therein
Man is finite i'm everything. and he
cannot have universal freedom. The
universe is a perfect system of laws
These laws control our lives. We can
not escape from them, We must obey
them.
There is no freedom from obedience
to the five senses. We must obey the
laws of the body or die. The shape,
construction and arrangement of the
body largely determine our mental
manifestations. The mind In butter
ny is manifested differently from that
In an elephant. Mental freedom is
limited by mental power or weakness;
and, therefore. our minds at present
cannot solve some great problems.

rayed in his wedding finery and with
200 pairs of admiring eyes looking on,
Frank Vencunas refused to take Miss
Helena Haskins for his bride in st.
Joseph's Catholic church here today.
The sudden interruption of the nuptial
ceremony precipitated confusion in the
church.
The bridal pair were at the altar
with hands clasped. Turning to Ven
cunas the priest asked, Twill you take
this woman for your welded wife,"
No" was the reply from the BRIDE
groom in unmistakable tones, as he
turned and fled into the street, pur-
sued by several friends.
Miss Haskins swooned into the arms
of her maid of honor, and when re-
vived was led sobbing into the sacris-
ty. Meanwhile fiends had overtaken
the recreant bridegroom, but to their
importuning he turned deaf ear. T
II won't marry her." he said, "and
that settles it. SHE is a good woman,
but something bids me not to we'd"

DECISION LATER.
That's All the Satisfaction Democrats
Receive from Colorado Court

Denver, Colo, Jan. 3.-The su-
preme court today took under consid-
GRAFTON the application of Alva
Adams for a modification of the order
of the supreme court ordering an in
vestigation into the recent election
and Chief Justice Gabbert declared
that the decision would be given
later" He did not specify any time
or date for the announcement of the
decision.
The arguments of the attorneys
Ex-Governor c. S. Thomas, for Mr.
Adams, urged that the order of the
court be made applicable to the bal
lot boxes only, and not to include poll

the investigation be conducted under
the supervision of a referee to be ap-
pointed by the supreme court, Mr.
commission and the attorney general
OF the state another, Mr.. Adams to
pay the expenses of his man and the
state to pay for the man selected by
the attorney general, and the fees of
the referee to be borne Jointly. The
expense of a general investigation, he
said, would be too great for Mr..
Adams.
Mr.. H. J. Heresy, the attorney for
the Republicans. resisted the applica-
ton for q modification of the order
declaring that an investigation of the
boxes only would not reveal the ex-
expense of the investigation would be
too great for Mr.. Adams to bear, he
would say for his clients that they
gladly would bear the entire expense.
To this Mr. Thomas replied that he
was willing they should pay all ex-
penses, but he wished them to do so
on their own account. Mr.. Adams
did not wish any other order than the
one for which he had asked and if
the court saw fit to grant an order di-
recting an investigation of all poll
books. registration lists and ballot
boxes. there would be nothing left for
his client to do but withdraw his ap-
plication for an investigation. be the
consequences what they might.
Chief Justice Gabbert declared that
he would hand down his decision
later, and remarked to Mr.. Thomas:
''An investigation of the ballot boxes
only would not reveal all of the evi-
dence in this case, Governor Thomas"
Il have no objection to the order
asked by the other side" replied Mr.
Thomas. but If the court decides that
1t is to be Of the extensive scope asked
by them, I want it to be their investi-
cation and not ours. The expense
will be too great for Mr.. Adams to
great it will be. If we can not have
the modified order we shall request
permission to withdraw our applica-
ton for an investigation of the bal
lot boxes"
Every well. 1 will announce my de-
cision later" said the court, and the
case was ended

DRUGGISTLOSES PERMIT
George Knauer's Admissions Were
Fatal to His Cause.

In the probate court this morning
Judge Hayden revoked the druggist
permit held by George Knauer at the
drug store at III East Fifth street.
A petition signed by twenty-five
women and Twenty-Five men of the
Second ward protesting against
Knauer's being allowed to hold a per-
init was filed with Judge Hayden
several weeks ago. The first session
of the hearing was two weeks ago,
when those interested in the prosecu-
ton of the case, Chief Stahl. Secre-
tary Dexter of the State Temperance
Union and Attorney Cowles, acting for
the union, attempted to introduce
testimony against Knauer. 1t was
spotter testimony and the defense
proved that the spotter, Whalen, was
a parole prisoner from the state re-
formatory and was not competent to
testify.
This morning Knauer was a wit
ness He admitted, when questioned
by Cowles, that A. c. Townsend has a
desk in the drug store and that Town
send is agent for the Schlitz Brewing
helped Townsend with his accounts
and that he bought the beer he sold
at the drug store from Townsend.
1t was when that testimony had
been given that Judge Hayden
brought the case to a close and re-
voked the permit.
A similar case against E. L. Evans
for the revoking of the permit he
holds for the drug store at 4O4 Kan
