REDLANDS, June 16.-Insult was

into the sacred edifce and made way
with the communion service. This was
bad enough, but they didn't keep it.

sciences hurt them and impelled its re-

conclusion that 1t wouldn't pay for the
trouble. and it's real nice looking
communion set, too. But these We're
quite fastidious burglars. and they only
wanted the real thing.
But they weren't so squeamish about
the communion wine. This must have
been a pretty good article, for the in
truders imbibed all there was of it.
Simply licked 1t up as If they had been
human sponges!
And then they deliberately lay down
on the leathern couches in the ladies'
parlor and went to sleep-the wretches!

"SWEET LAVENDER" PROVES
A CHARMING PRODUCTION
cumnoek Dramatic Club Gives Benefit
for Instructor Garnet
HoIne


Sweet Lavender" that charming
little domestic drama of Pinero's, was
the play chosen by the Cumnock Dra-
matte club for the benefit of Garnet
Holme, for more than two years teach
err at the Cumnock school. The play
was put on under his direction and he
deserves great credit for making 1t the
pretty and entertaining performance
it proved last night. Many of the
authors delightful points were missed
by these amateurs. not up to the
business" of professional actors, but
many of them need only schooling TO
prove delightful entertainers.
M e. Parker as the young
lover was satisfactory in a role that is
not the tax to the player that the
Miss Maud Turner as the sprightiy
Minnie did some of the best work In
the play, bringing to her lines n
sparkle and gayety that was real and
refreshing, and in this same line of
comedy Marcus Scott, as the Ameri-
can, was a close second.
Garnet Holme played one of the
smaller parts, that of old Wedderburn,
with his usual judgment, and the other
roles were as a whole very we'll car
ried, keeping the little audience in a
continual bubble of laughter.
The cast was as follows: Mr. Geof-
ferey Wedderburn (of Wedderburn,
Green & Hoskett, bankers, Barnchest-

A miniature in ebony of the historic
love of Damon and Pythias was enact
ed in Judge Pierce's court yesterday
afternoon, in the charge of abuse insti-
tuted against julius Woodson of 273S
Temple street, by Mrs. Elizabeth Will
son.
Woodson is of dark brown color. sug-
gestive of African ancestry, and the
charge against him involves his actions
toward his little stepdaughter. Yes
terday, under the charge of Constable
Cline, ne was piloted before the judges
for himself. He had very little to say
and only asked the amount of his bail,
which was $1,000.
well, judge" said Woodson, there's
Just this about it; haven't got that
money with me, but l think If l could
get out and go round and see my
friends for time could raise It,"
"All the deputies are busy" respond
ed the Judge, and Woodson scratched
his head. Presently happy thought
struck him. Judge" he said, II have
shore fixed it alright now There's a
man wot lives next door to me and
know him for a long time. II you could
only send for that fellow he would come
down here and you could lock him NJ
in my cell and could go out and raise
my bail money, and then come back
and he and both would be out. He
knows me well enough to know that
would be all right and we could fix the
matter that way"
Judge Pierce thought differently and
the negro was sent back to his eel
pending his examination.

To BUILD NEW
100000 THEATER
HOUSE TO BE OPEN TO ANTI
SYNDICATE PLAYS
WORK TO BE RUSHED AT ONCE
Amusement Place viii Be on Order
Of New York Hippodrome, and
viii Give Big Show at Pop
ulsr Prices

Within the next thirty days ground
will probably be broken in Los Ange-
les for another theater. According to
pal promoters of the enterprise, the
theater will be built and by fall will
be offering the public high class melo-
dramas and vaudeville turns at popular
prices.
Just where the new theater will be
constructed will be decided at noon to-
day at a meeting of those interested.
There are three sites under consldera-
tion and options have been had on
these One of these, which is looked
upon with favor, is the site Of the old
Panorama on Main street, between
Third and Fourth streets.
Regarding the project Mr.. Welch
said last evening: "The construction
of this theater is now certainty, as
enough capital has been interested to
erect building that will cost over
100000 What we propose is something
for Los Angeles on the idea of the
New York Hippodrome, only, of course,
on a smaller scale. But we mean to
give an immense show for the money.
Seating Capacity to Be 2soo
1.-THE building will be an office build
ing with a theater in the back The
theater will have a capacity of about
$500, seating 1000 on the main floor, 800
in the balcony and 800 in the gallery,
with a provision for 100 in the boxes
and loges. The prices will be 10, 20
and 80 cents. There will be stock
company to play four and five-act melo-
dramas and vaudeville between the
acts, so that the curtain will not be
rung down from o'clock until II at
night.
'In addition the theater will be open
to any anti-syndicate attraction, such
as Mrs. Fiske or some of David Belas-
co.'s plays that may come to Los An
geles. We will be in position by to-
night probably to announce more of the
details, the names of architect and
chief promoters"
Mr.. Welch is we'll known in the thea
trical circles in this country. He built
the Columbia theater in Portland,
which was recently purchased by Be
lasco, Mayer e. Co. He was prominent
ly interested in the starting of the Del
mar park and Kinlock park race tracks
in st. Louis and has been responsible
for a number of other amusement en-
terprises throughout the country. He
is at present connected with the Casino
theater in Los Angeles.

Cuban DinrrhOea

u. S. soldiers who served in Cuba
during the Spanish war know what
this disease Is and that ordinary rem
edies have little more effect than so
much water. Cuban diarrhoea is
almost as severe and dangerous as a
mild attack of cholera. There is one
remedy, however, that can always be
depended upon, as will be seen by the
following certificate from Mrs Minnie
Jacobs of Houston, Texas Il hereby
certify that Chamberlain's Collie,

my husband of a severe attack of
Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought

KING OSCAR.
A WRITER
Of ABILITY
He Shines Both as
Historian and
Poet.
Special Cable to The Call.

STOCKHOLM, June 24.-As tho eyes
of the world are for the moment
fastened on King Oscar, 1T Is interest
ing to note that it is not alone in
statecraft that he holds an eminent
place.
King Oscar may we'll be regarded as
a man of letters by other men of let
ters. for his contributions to literature
have been many. In 1857 the Swedish
Academy awarded It's annual prize to
a collection of verse which. when the
sealed envelope was broken, was found
to have come from Oscars pen.
Among his poetical productions are
translations of Tasso's Jerusalem De-
livered," of Goethe's Faust" of sew
eral dramas of Shakespeare and of the
cid of Corneille. The best known of
all his poems is a collection of stirring
songs about the Swedish navy. AS
showing his versatility 1t may be said
that vast majority of the hymns now
in use throughout the Protestant
churches in Sweden are the King IS
composition, words as well as music
But Oscar is more than a poet, and
Is a historian as we'll From his pen
have come a history of Charles XII
and historical writings about the navy.
In the navy he has always been
greatly interested, and, when young
man, circled the globe as a lieutenant
in a Swedish man-of-war His sea love
has but grown with the passage of
time, and every year sees him spending
six weeks or more at sea cruising along
the coasts in his yacht Arctic discov-
cries have interested him as well. and
he has aided polar expeditions and trips
of discovery. Oscar himself is fond of
travelling and has visited almost every
country of Europe, while he is able To
sneak several languages with great
fiuency and is familiar with the great
European literatures in the originals.
Without being a pedant. King Oscar IS
assuredly savant. With his fondness
for culture and his appreciation of art.
the King often surrounds himself with
literary men, musicians. artists and
others distinguished for brains rather

NEW CHAMPIONS

Bertha Thompson Proves
to Be Great Surprise and
Captures English Trophy
Special Dispatch to The caIL

LONDON, June "a. - That golf
abounds in uncertainties and surprises
was strikingly shown in the annual
tournament for the ladies' champion
ship, which this year took place on
the Cromer links. In none of the for
mer championship meetings were so
many old regulations shattered and
new ones made. No one expected that
Miss Bertha Thompson would prove the
winner. She had been a regular COM
petitor for the championship for sew
eral years. but the nearest she ever got
to 1t before was in 1900. when she
reached the fifth round. Previous to
this season she had never been in the
semi-finals.
Popular interest In the meeting was
greatly increased by the participation
of American women In practice Miss
Bishop, the feminine champion OF the
United States. had done so well that
1t was thought she would emulate the
performance of w. j. Travers last year
and take a British championship to
America. But although she won her
first two matches, she was beaten In
the third round after a splendid fight
by / up. her conqueror being Miss
Lloyd-Roberts, who in an earlier stage
of the game had achieved the unique
distinction of defeating her own
mother.
Miss Thompson won the final tie of
eighteen holes by 8 UP and to play.

power into her long strokes. but her
neutrality-suspicious. the way she dis
poses of her feet in these efforts
would hardly be regarded as the en-
bodiment of feminine grace. But 1t is
not gracefulness that wins In golf.
The winning of the amateur cham
pionship by A. G. Barry furnished a
still greater surprise to the critics than
Miss Thompson's victory. He had not
been taken into account at all In the
forecasts made of the probable results
He is only 10 years old and never be-
