PASSION EXAMINERS.
Number of Applicants Appeared Be-
fore Board in Ten Days.

The board of pension examiner, which
has been in session in the court house
for the past ten days. yesterday COM
pleted its work, having examined the
applications of over fifty former Confed-
crate soldiers.
The board. which consists of r. G..
Hewitt and DR.. W. p. McAdory, was re-
Gently appointed by the governor to re-
ceve and examine the applications of
old soldiers, who are not already on the
rolls. That so many applied is considered
remarkable, inasmuch as the board was
confined to the petitions of persons liv-
ing within the limits of the county and
did not deal with those already on the
rolls.

RABBIT FOOT SALOON.
Bartender Is Placed Under Arrest by
Officers Bennett and Cole.

Wiley Woods. IS year old negro boy
was arrested last night in the Rabbit
Foot saloon at the corner of Morris ave-
nue. and Twenty-fourth street. The charge
lodged against the boy is "a minor in
a saloon" Charlie Schoening, the bar
tender. was also arrested for allowing a
minor in a saloon.
The arrests were made by Officers Ben
nett and Cole, upon the request of the
boys father. About two weeks ago, 1t is
said, the fatehr requested the arrest OF
his son for the same offense committed
at the Rabbit Foot saloon, but it seems
the arrest was not made on account OF
the boy not being found.
Schoening made bond and the boy was
placed in the city Jail.

ALABAMA LAW.

Section $50 of the last constitution
provides that depositors in banks who
have not stipulated for interest. shall,
for their deposits, be entitled, in case
of insolvency, 70 preference of pay
over all other creditors. and this law
applies to all banks, whether incorpor-
ated or not.
In other words, if bank does both
a savings business and a regular bank
ing business, and should become in
solvent, then the depositors who did
not get interest on their deposits would
have preference over those who had
their money in the bank for savings.
D-Lzens' Savings bank accepts
only savings accounts. hence every de.
poster stands on the same footing
here. We solicit yours.

Exterior of the Building Finished and
Inside Work Begun.

The contractor at work on the High
school building announces that the work
men are practically ready to begin on the
interior of the building and will push that
work forward rapidly as possible.
The roof was finished yesterday, and I'M

%. Now that the exterior of the building
has been completed, a fair idea of its inn

seems to be the general opinion that it
will be one of the handsomest structures

NEW ELECTRIC RAILWAY
ON STEPHENSON AVENUE
IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT FOR
BOYLE HEIGHTS
Beautiful Residence District Provided
With Perfect Transportation FaciIi-
ties-Work in Progression to
MontebeIIo and Whittier

Work on the extension of the First
street electric car line from the end
of the Cummings stree, extension on
Boyle avenue out Stephenson avenue,
is now in progress. This line will eX-
tend directly east on Stephenson ave-
hue to Indiana avenue, crossing Eu-
cid avenue and forming connection
with the First street extension on In
diana avenue, the entire system when
completed including the Boyle Heights
district and bringing all of the lots in
the several new additions in close touch
with the business center of the city.
w. H. Workman and other property
owners interested have been working
for several months to give the district
perfect street railway accommodations
and the Stephenson avenue improve
ment is the direct result OF their eff
forts. A large force of tracllayers are
now employed on the extension.
The franchise extends further than
Indiana avenue on Stephenson avenue.
Eventually the line will be built fur
ther eastward to connect with Monte
bello and the town of Whittier, and
this improvement will open up a new
residence section with splendid views
of the mountains and the sea.
Other plans projected are for the ex-
tension of the Ninth street car line
eastward on Hollenbeck avenue, the
southern boundary line of the Boyle
Heights district, east to the proposed
site of the Salt Lake railroad car
shops, diverging thence northward to
Whittier.

Fadettes Capture Hearts Of Music
Lovers Who Attend orpheum.
Stage Setting Especially
Designed for Act

There is a real orchestra at the Or
pheum this week-the FadetteS of Bos-
ton. led by Miss Caroline b. Nichols,
and composed of twenty young women
who are not merely clever but pretty
as well. The main feature of the or
chestra is the fact that its music, al
though many of the numbers are of n
highly classical character, appeals to
every part of a vaudeville audience
from the gallery to the boxes. There is
none OF the crash and blare so preva-
lent among vaudeville musical acts,
none of the cheap flashiness of strained
effects, but music at its best. The
tone displays a mastery blending of
brass, strings and wood, wind and the
art of the conductor is apparent in
every phrase.
incidentally, there is beautiful
stage setting, designed especially for
this act by Manager Clarence Drown
of the Orpheum, and painted by
Charles Wallace.
Another striking act this week is
Charles Leonard Fletcher's character
studies. Fletcher "makes up" in full
view of the audience and shows how
an actor changes his features to fit
the character he is to portray. His
most striking work was the death
scene from Zolas Drink" in which
he portrays the rawlings of a man in
the throes of delirium tremens, NOR
bid conceit, but intensely dramatic and
well acted.
Troba, a strong man and juggler. was
another exceptionally novel feature
it is a good bill all the way through
this week. Troba handles Krupp shells
and cannon with astonishing ease and
dexterity. Joe Flynn, monologist,
Lucy and Lucier in a comedy skit,
"The Fools Errand,' Marian Carson,
the girl soprano, and Pierce and
Maizee, dancers, are others on the bill.
New motion pictures complete as good
a program as has ever been offered at
the Orpheum.

1T be true that my darling wife has in

insane asylum? Oh, God, why was I
ever born and allowed to bring such
disgrace upon myself and my family?''
With his eyes streaming with tears.
DIR. George Brown. who was for years
one of the most prominent physicians
in the city of Denver, plead for mercy
at the hands of the insane commission
yesterday.
Dl Brown admitted to the court at
his first examination last Tuesday that
he had been in the habit of taking from
twelve to twenty grains of morphine a
day and almost an equal amount of
cocaine. The use of the drugs had
almost totally wrecked his intellect and
he imagined the most terrible things
about his wife and children.
1t had been his habit when he was at
home with his family to remain awake
at night and to stand guard over the
door Of his son the entire night. When
he was almost overcome by sleep he
would inject a quantity of cocaine into
his arm until at last utterly overcome
by exhaustion he would fall upon the
floor unconscious.
Mrs. Brown, who was the complain
ing witness in the case, seemed to be
only too anxious to believe him abso-
lutely sane and to take him home again,
but in the opinion of the examining
physicians it would be dangerous to
leave him at large at present.

could go to his home again.

tremor of nervousness, while week
amiration and while he was yet hav-
ing all the drugs he wanted he was

In the opinion of the examining ply
sicians the insanity which was mani
fest is simply the result of the drug
habit upon a nervous temperament.
With the proper treatment it is
thought that in six months or a year
the craving for the false stimulants
viii be gone and the doctor can be al
lowed to return to his family.
For the present at least he will be
confined in Highland state hospital.
