Congressman Lucius N. Littauer of
Gloversville. N. Y, an officer and direc-
tor in many financial institutions and a
well known politician of the Empire
state, arrived in Los Angeles yester-

staying at the Angelus.
Mr. Littauer with the exception of

"Sheridan" Great Play

Richard Brinsley Sheridan wa!
brought back to life last evening at the
Belasco theater and his interesting ca
reer, his struggles and trials and tri-
umphs-and some that were not his
were arranged in absorbing dramatic
sequence and packed into a space of
three hours and presented in fascina-
ting manner by White Whittlesey and
the Belasco company. 1t made the best
of the seasons romantic dramas and a
large audience gave the piece a most
enthusiastic reception.
Those who enjoy the romantic drama,
and there are few, indeed, who do not,
will find the play wonderful source
of qualification. Necessarily, as is the
case with all plays of this kind, much
dramatic license has been taken. How
ever, many of the most important and
exciting incidents of the thrilling life
of Sheridan have been carefully pre-
served and fitted into the dramatiza-
tion with such skill as to make it a
story quite as interestingly presented
from the stage as his history is to read.
There are the same impetuous, witty,
daring Sheridan; the same sweet, WIN
some and mild-tempered Betty Linley;
the same unpleasant scoundrel Matth-
ews; the same pompous David Garrick
and most of the other characters which
have come down through time either in
no nf CT in, 6n %
Sheridans own plays. which are gener-
ally admitted to have been taken from
life, and these people form the nucleus
of one of the most delightful dramas
presented in Los Angeles this season.
White Whittlesey and his art are not
unknown in Los Angeles and this role
of Sheridan is far the best he has yet
offered here. His youth added to his
distinguished stage presence make him
one of the leading actors of romantic
roles in America today and the few
faults he has are mostly negative and
are drowned in an atmosphere of
charming manners and vigorousness Of
personality.
Miss Eugenia That's Lawton was the
Betty Linley of Bath, the song bird
toward whom the eyes of all men were
turned. and Miss Lawton made 1t clear
why this was so. Sometimes she was
conventional as an actress but she
made her character extremely lovable
and at all times in perfect harmony
with the picture. She shared the hon
ors with the star and was given a warm
welcome on her entrance. George Bar
mum distinguished himself In line of
work new to him in Los Angeles. AS
always he was the finished actor with
infinite delicacy of touch and power Of
reserve.
Miss Agnes Rankin did excellent
work in a splendid part. She and Rob-
ert Dempster carry out a scene of COM
edy In the second act to perfection. II
is the best thing Dempster has ever
done here. Marie Howe was good in a
character role.
Miss Margaret Langham gives an ex-
quisite performance, as the wife of
Matthews. Her dark beauty is In strik-
ing and effective contrast with the
powdered wigs and she has some op-

This momentous question occupied
the greater part of the day in Judge
Austins court yesterday. and when the
fast falling dusk reminded his honor
that there are worse things in the world
in the hearing until eight o'clock this
morning.
Twelve witnesses, ten of whom were
women who live in the vicinity of the
Objectionable chip factory, declared en-
phatically that if there is one thing in
the world they dislike more than
another it is Saratoga chip.
Mrs. Adolphus Lddle, whose resi-
dence adjoins the factory, declared that
she had arrived at that state of mind

planned in frenzied accents that she
never enters her house than she is re-
minded of Saratoga chips. She must
open her doors and windows to let the
odor of them leave her house, and then
she must close them to keep it out.
Mrs. Brewer stated that the sickening
odor of potato chips has taken such
firm hold on her system that she can
no longer eat and that every victual
placed before her smelt like potato.
Attorney Earl Rogers put each wit
ness through a rigid cross -examina-
tion and in each instance he endeavored
to persuade her that If there is one
thing exclusive of bread that might be
called the staff of life, it is we'll fried
Saratoga chip.
A large box, filled with chips, and
placed in a most appetizing manner be-
fore the witness stand, caused each
woman to turn up her nose in disgust
and cough. The box remained unsam-
pied, until the court adjourned, when
each of the witnesses took handful
and filed out of the room.

At the Orpheun

The Empire City Quartet, a comedy
singing four, is making its first and last
appearance in Los Angeles, and fills
the headliner at the Orpheum this
week. Next season, according to the
plans of the members of the quartet
they will join a first class eastern
comedy company, and from the exhib-
ition given last evening they will be OF
great credit to their new work.
La Jolie Titcomb, who, according tc
the program, has won three prizes fol

and who is now making her first Amer

the applause given the bill. Miss Tit

Captain George M. Cake, chairman

W00DMEN OF THE WORLD
HOLD BIG "HIGH JINKS"

Fremont camp No. 1866, Woodmen
of the World, initiated a series of
smokers" or high jinks" last evening
at its hall, 1853 South Spring street.
Over 400 members of the forest of
woodcraft were present, as were a
number of their friends.
Toastmaster NJ A. Byrne acquitted
himself with pride, and A. F. Borden,
better known as "Hallejah' Borden,
delivered a number of bon mots of the
vintage of "95."
1t was the fault of Frank Cravep
that M. A. Byrne was not arrested for
defeating Clarence Burton, captain of
the uniform rank. Burton is popular,
so is Byrne. but the drill company was
behind Burton and though Burton was
a good boxer, they thought that Byrne
was a little better.
During the course of the links there
was number of features, not the least
OF which were the boxing contests be-
tween M. A. Byrne and C. A. Burton,
Carl Match and George Macnab. George
Linden and e. Laverty, the Woolshohn
brothers and Frank Linnstruth and
Frank Parsons.
Cravens, in his beautiful cakewalls
with Mrs. Linden, was responsible for
great deal of merriment.
Earl Rogers and Wallace w. Wide
man, the local criminal attorneys, ex-
changed compliments and caused much
merriment by their bright sayings.
1t is the intention of Fremont camp
to hold a jinks once a month.

At the New York State Assembly of Mothers, a prominent New York doctor told the 300 women present that healthy American women were so rare as to be almost extinct.
 This seems to be a sweeping state ment of the condition of American women. Yet how many do you know who are perfectly well and do not have some trouble arising from derange- ment of the female organism which manifests itself in headaches, back aches, nervousness, that bcaring-down feeling. painful or irregular menstrua- tion, leucorrhma, displacement of the uterus, ovarian trouble, indigestion or sleeplessness There is a tried and true remedy for all these ailments. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Con- pound has restored more American women to health than all other reme- dies in the world. It regulates, strengthens and cures diseases of the female organism as nothing else can. For thirty years it has been curing the worst forms of female com plaints.
 Such testimony as the following should be convincing.
 Mrs T. c. Willadsen. of Manning Ia, writes:
 Dear Mrs Pinkham:-
 "I can truly say that you have saved my life and cannot express my gratitude to you in words For two years spent lots of money in doctoring without any benefit for men, strual irregularities and I had given up all hopes of ever being well again, but was persuaded to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound and three bottles have re stored me to perfect health. Had it not been for you 1 would have been in my grave today"

WAS CURED RAPIDLY
RHEUMATISM IN TWO SEVERE CASES
 MASTERED IN FEW WEEKS.
The Remedy Used by MT. Schroeppel and by Captain Ba!four in Great Demandi in
 Vicinity of Their Homes.


 In the winter of 1902-3 MT. Schroeppel was confined to his bed by a severe at tack of rheumatism. His doctors treat ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse- quently regained his health by means which he describes with great enthu- siasm.
 "After five or six weeks of helpless ness and pain," said he, during which was receiving regular visits from the doctor, I felt as bad as ever. Just then my mother. 0 woman eighty years of age, paid me visit. She had received great benefit from Dr. Williams Pink Pills, and sho was confident they would help me. At her solicitation I gave up the doctors treatment and took the pills i'll its place."
 "And wcre you cured as the result of taking her advice?"
 "Yes, quickly and thoroughly. Be- fore the second box was finished I felt very manifest improvement, and within two W eeks 1 was able to leave my bed and take up my neglected farm work. l con- tinued to use the pills, however, until ClRub pDAcS DStl long bofore that felt that every yes- tige of the disease had been eradicated.
 "Are thcre no traces left?"
 "Aosolutoly none. For a year and three months there has never been the slightest return of the old trouble. For this happy result Iand my family freely praise Dr. Williams Pink Pills"
 Within the bounds of China township, St. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry Schrocppel. His cure has therefore nat urally attracted q great deal of attention. One of MT. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap tain George Balfour, after hearing of the salutary results ill MT. Schroeppcl'sc case, decided to try Dr. Williams Pink Pills for all attack of rheumatism from which he was himself suffering. He took eight or ten boxes and now declares himself free from the painful ailment."
 It is little wonder that Dr. Williams Pink Pills are much in favor ill tho con- muuity where MT. Schroeppel and Cap- tain Balfour are so we'll and favorably known. They aro sold byNll druggists and are equally successful ill curing neuralgia, sciatica aud partial paralysis
