SAN DIEGO, April 2S.-Tonght the
people of San Diego we're treated at

scored successes in the presentation of
Twelfth Night" and LAS You Like 1t"
This year the part of Valentine was
taken by Fred Allen, who was the
clown in Twelfth Night" Lysle Nc
Kenney, who was oliver in "As You
Like It," took the part of Proteus to-
night. Miss May Ewart had the
Fart of Julia and Miss Martha Ward
appear ed as Sylvia. Ferdinand Muu'e-
made mirth as Launce, and Cassius
Carter jr., came in for his share of
the applause as the clown. The attend
ance was very large, and, though it
cost the club considerable to stage the
play its treasury will be replenished.

PASADENA CITIZENS PROTEST
TO THE POLICE
INTEREST IN MAYORS ACTION
Much Speculation Is Aroused as to

PASADENA, April 2S.-Citizens have
protested t, the police and Humane
officials against hypnotic exhibitions
being given by hypnotist appearing
a a local thcater. AS an advertise
ment the professor" put to sleep a
patient in a show window where he
remained for several hours. When
the time arrived for the subject to be
awakened a large crowd had gathered.
According to the statements Of some
of the spectators the man tore at
his hair, tried to bite his toes and
performed other actions indicating
the treatment was inhuman. Several
complained to the officer on the beat
that 1t was an act of cruelty, but
the police declined to act from the
fact that the city ordinances do not
prohibit hypnotic exhibitions.
The Humane officers hold that they
have no jurisdiction when a person
volunteers himself as subject.
However, they promised to Interfere
in case a child or some one unwilling
is put under the influence of the
hypnotst's power.

well at each other, and caused general
havoc. The future president apparent
ly enjoyed their FRANKS, and never in
terrupted their play. Thus the morn
ing would be spent, and then the long,
unkempt father and his mischievous
sons would file in ludicrous procession
up the street, Mr.. Lincoln stopping
now and then to shake hands with a
neighbor who had been to church. 1t
is a picture which Springfield old-tim-
ers still remember wildly
That Mrs. Lincoln did not approve of
! the Sunday morning diversion. and in
deed of many other things which her
more plebian husband did. appears un-
| questioned Mrs. Lincoln had been
reared to believe in the conventions of
society. and the uncOuth actions of her
| husband were n never-ceasing trial to
her. Mr.. Lincoln used to delight in
! lying on the floor in the hail with a
chair for pillow, reading. and when
a caller rang the bell he would answer
the ring instead of waiting for serv-
ant to open the door This was a hab-
| ii of which Mrs. Lincoln never sue
ceeded in breaking him.
New Lincoln story.
Many stories are told of the unceas-
ing good humOr of the Springfield at

the life of any party of which he was
part. An instance of LincOln's ready
wit is related by a fellow attorney.
! This man being somewhat of an ath-
| lete, engaged in a friendly wrestling
match on the court house lawn one
morning before court was called. In
! the scuffie he tore a bau rent in his
! trousers and was unable to have ii
| repaired before being called on to ad-
| dress the jury. The tear showed very
| plainly beneath his rather short coat
and was the subject of jocular com
ment by the other attorneys. each of
whom started a subscription paper for
the purpose of raising funds with
which TO buy new pair of trousers for
the unfortunate man. Each of the at
torneys present subscribed to some RI
diculous sum. When the subscription
paper reached Mr. Lincoln, he glanced
~ the writing and then at the unfortu-
nate attorney, and wrote at once. Il
can contribute nothing to the end in
view"
Oregon people have shown special
interest in the project of the state of
Illinois to erect a replica of Abraham
LincOln's home at the exposition, be-
cause at one time Mr.. Lincoln was Of
fered the position of territorial gov
ernor of Oregon. Upon the election o.

for the most of land cOmmi seiouar and

ated with the carpenters union. There
is something of struggle between the
