FIRE IN RESIDENCE DISTRICT
Frame Dwelling Partially Destroyed

Fire of an unknown origin last nlgh'

flames, which did but little damage

could tell. The place is owned by John
Delucca, who lives at Hemlock ana
Central avenues, and up to last Friday
was occupied. on that day the family
which had been living in 1t moved
away and Saturday the proprietor
visited the place to straighten It up for
the next occupants.
Last nights blaze was first noticed
by some Of the neighbors who heard
dogs barking and came out of their

Both Henry Stockbridge and Louise

Without the Hall sisters the piece

role, was prone to wander at random
from pillar TO post, and in the course of
his travels he managed to put away

made Milwaukee famous.
TIME, 2 A. NAT this unseemly hour
Madigan announced in no uncertain
terms to passers-by that he was the
king of the Champagne Islands," and
that he had a feeling deep down in his
heart for all mankind.
ACT II.-At this juncture of the
comedy one Joe Graun, who now
stands charged with impersonating an
officer, appeared before the footlights
and entered a vigorous protest to the
spellbinding efforts of Madigan

to have hummsd; "come, take trip

Comedy Takes New Turn
Madigan accepted the villains" YER
sion of the affair, and the hero" and
the "villain" perambulated down Main
street, much to the surprise of the by
ISLANDERS who frequent the street at
that hour of the morning.
ACT III.-The comedy fell to the
ground with dull thud, and the spec
tators asked the manager to refund the
box office receipts, when Officer D. L..
Adams appeared on the stage.
officer Adams is the Beau Brummel
of the local force. and since his ap-
pointment as police detective he has
stalked about the streets in the regalia
of a plain citizen.
Officer Adams demurred to the con-
duct of the alleged officer whereupon
the gallery gods were led to believe
that he too would be borne aloft in
Graun's little airship.

The comedians accepted the proposal
of Officer Adams after a few minutes
indulgence in acrimonious argument.
during the course of which they urged
the officer to forgive and forget.
Let bygones be bygones," pleaded
the men, but Adams remained obdu-
rate, whereupon the spectators de-
manded the return of their money.
ACT IV.-The final chapter of the
little comedy will be written today in
the police court, when Madigan will
explain to the satisfaction of "his
honor" the direct cause of his intem-
perate habits, and Graun will endeavor
to explain why great men have
fallen"

DR.. M'IVOR-TYNDALL
ON FORBIDDEN FRUIT"
Psychic Scientist Lectures Before a
Large and Enthusiastic Audi
ence at Blanchard Hall

ence at Blanchard Hall
One of the largest gatherings of the
season assembled in Blanchard hall
yesterday afternoon when DR.. Alex
ander ]. McIvor-Tyndall discoursed on
the subject, Forbidden Fruit" Long
before o'clock, the hour for closing
the doors of the hall, there was not a
vacant seat and many late comers
were unable to find accommodation.
Music was furnished by M. Jean De
his lecture with some wonderful demon
strations of psychic phenomena, par
ticularly thought transference. He said
in part:
II am not going into the subject of
the fall of Adam and the temptation
of Eve from the theological standpoint,
but want to say something about the
meaning of Forbidden Fruit from the
psychological standpoint and its appli-
cation to our everyday twentieth CEN
tury problems. And my point of con-
tention is just this BY forbidding or
prohibiting anything individually the
person so forbidden is straightway
tempted
"As Mark Twain sagely puts it in
his humorous story of the fall, the
trouble lay in not forbidding the snake,
and then Eve would not have been
tempted. In other words, the suggestion
made to Eve was the cause of the whole
trouble. Humanity is susceptible to
the force of suggested ideas and em-
phasis upon error merely suggests
error.
1T has become a truism that minis
ters' sons are often the worst behaved.
Now, this is certainly not because of
inherited predilection, nor because re-
ligious training is bad for humanity.
The fault lies. not with the motive, but
with the manner of impressing upon
the mind what course to pursue.
"Now, 1t will doubtless occur to some
of you to ask how we are to guide
children, how teach them what course
to follow, If we may not forbid? Are
we not to point out forbidden paths?
Are we TO let the inexperienced and the
undlscriminating follow wheresoever
their desires lead them without word
OF warning? Such a query is pertinent
and l think it may be answered in the
words of Emerson: Don't bark at the
had, but chant the beauties of the
good Don't expend time and effort
in emphasizing the unpleasant and the
undesirable, but point out the pleas
ure and the profit i'm the opposite con-
dition. Do not make error tempting by
forbidding It,"

TO BE GUESTS OF
ADMIRAL GOODRICH
Local MiIltiamen to Accompany Flag
ship Chicago on Two Weeks
Cruise for Tarqet Practice

The engineers division of the naval
militia, which has its headquarters
in Los Angeles, is anticipating a two
weeks cruise as guests of Admiral
Goodrich of the Pacific station in his
flagship, the Chicago.
The time will be given to target
practice and general drill, and in that
time the local militiamen expect to be
as expert in the handling of the big
guns as the regular gunners of Uncle
Sans navy.
The local boys, numbering about
twenty-five, will be under the command
of Lieut. A. II. Woodbine. The San
Diego company of naval militia will
also be on board the Chicago.
At present it has not been decided
whether the Los Angeles tars will board
the Chicago at San Pedro or San Diego,
but this point will probably be settled
today and the complete details made
out. The Chicago starts on her cruise
for target practice in about a. week.

SAT in the saloon after a spree of three
days. The saloonkeeper had kept me
in a drunken stupor in dirty coal
room until he had all my money and
then ordered me to get out. From
the saloon 1 staggered along and came
to the mission. 1 thought in my craze
it was a theater, and being told at the
door that it was free, l thought 1
would go in and see the performance.
But, mind you, If had been asked to
go into a church, should have been
much insulted.

seeing the show. In about one hour,
between sleeping and rousing up to

they were singing Jesus Saves L

I tried to get out, but seemed to be
fastened to my seat. Soon Mr.. Trot-
