1 Thessalonians v:5. Ye are all the chill

we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6. Therefore let us not sleep. as do others;
but let us watch and be sober.
I. For they that sleep sleep in the night;
and they that be drunken are drunken in
the night.
s. But let us, who are of the day be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love;
and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
0. For God hath not appointed us to
wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord
Jesus Christ

wake or sleep, we should live together with
him.

and edfy one another, even as also We do

them which labor among you. and are over
you In the Lord, and admonish you;

love for their works sake. And be at peace
among yourselves.
IA. Now we exhort you. brethren, warn

any man; but ever follow that which is
good. both among yourselves and to all men

BONFILI0 MEETS WITH DEFEAT

After one of the IiVeliest elections in
was known as the regular or Rule
ticket went through like a whirlwind
yesterday with the exception of one
candidate, N. Bonfilio, who was de-
feated by close margin
The list of newly elected directors
of the Jonathan club is as follows:
Henry f. Huntington, F. B. Sherwood,
Gen. Robert Wankowski L. j. c..

and c. II. White.
Voting began at noon yesterday and
continued until O'Clock in the even
ing. After the result of the election
had been announced the victors and the
Vanquished sat down to a banquet,
which lasted several hours.
Owing to the factional contest that
has been waging among the members
of the organization for some time past,
a heavy vote was polled at yesterdays
election. The regulars were marshaled
by Ferd X. Rule, while the independ-
ents We're led by r. w. Burnham.
The principal opposition seemed to be
against Director Bonfilio, who was said
by his opponents to have antagonized
a large number of the membership
Other objections were raised against
certain of the directors, who had been
charged with unnecessary extravaganza
in furnishing the new quarters.

DEATH RATE FOR
MARCH WAS Low
STATE HEALTH BOARD ISSUES
REPORT
PER CENT 1.139 A THOUSAND
Records Show the Decrease to Have
Been Confined Almost En-
tlrey to Preventable
Diseases
PER CENT 1.139 A THOUSAND

According to the report of the state
board of health for March, which has
just been issued, the death rate for
the month was unusually low, the de-
crease being confined almost entirely
to preventable diseases. Following is
the report in detail:
TWenty-eight reports, representing a
population of 1,1SS,750 shows a mortal
ity of 1347, or a death rate of 1.139
per Thousand. In the public institu-
tions, with population of SS11, there
were So deaths, rate of 6.24 per thou
sand.
Among the causes of deaths were:
Tuberculosis 222; heart disease, 17S;
pneumonia, 1OS; cancer, &c; stomach,
81; alcoholism, IA; typhoid fever, 15;
diarrhoea and dysentery, ID; bronchitis,
1S; diphtheria, IL; cerebro-s spinal fever,
IA; measles, 8; whooping cough, 4;
cholera infantum, 4; erysipelas, 2; in
fuenza, 10; typho-malarial fevers, 4;
congestion of the lungs. 0.
The past month has been one of low
death rate. The decrease is noted al
most entirely abong preventable dis
eases. largely in tuberculosis and lung
diseases. The cause for the decrease in
these diseases IL not hard to find. The
warm, balmy air, full of the fragrance
of fruit and wild flowers, tempts the
invalid from the home and perforce he
breathes this pure air and prolongs
his life. If people subject to colds"
would stop conhning themselves to
overheated and poorly ventilated
rooms and spend as much of their time
as possible in the open air they would
soon materially lessen their liability to
colds and increase their physical
strength. Where it is impossible to
spend much of the time out of doors
1t is at least generally possible to have
supply of fresh air. This is one
thing that must be had for good health
and the one thing that cannot be cor
nered." No room should be occupied

STRONG MAN AT oRPHEUM
Paul Conchas Gives a Marvellous
Exhibition

Paul Conchas Gives Marvellous
Exhibition
There are some few acts at present
on the vaudeville stage that are worth
several times the price of admission 20
see and which reach Los Angeles at
very rare stages. AS a particular treat
to the public the management of the
Orpheum has provided two such acts
in the bill for this week.
Paul Conchas, the famous foreign
heavy weight balancer, appeared for
the first time last night. Instead of
the usual heavy weight with whom
the public generally is burdened there
appeared a handsome, well formed
young man, who balanced a cannon OH
his mouth, caught 1OO-pound cannon
balls on the back of his neck and
played ping pong with 1S7-pound Krupp
shells while the women in the audience
screamed and tried to faint Conchas
was unable to perform his full act be-
cause of recent illness. but when it is
taken into consideration that a man
can catch cannon balls on his head and
that when one of the balls missed it
crashed through the stage floor, part
of the act Is sufficient.
The Louis A. Simon, Grace Gardner
and company with a farce, THE New
Coachman." is the other act that calls
for special attention.
Herbert Brooks in his trunk and card
act, the society bellies. the Columbans,
Winona Shannon and the Busch Devere
trio in a picture and music act of ex-
ceptional strength with the motion
pictures, complete the bill.

ANOTHER LAUGHING
WEEK At BELASCO
"THE PRIVATE SECRETARY"
FULL OF MERRIMENT
FUN OF UPR0ARI0Us VARIETY
Stock Company Actors Make Great
Success Of Farce, Which
They Present Very
AcceptabIy

II to succeed In farce Is to keep a
large audience in an almost continuous
uproar then the Belasco company's in
terpretation last evening of "The Pri-
vate Secretary" deserves all the praise
to which success entities 1t. 1t is more
than one long, continuous laugh; 1t fire.
quently reaches the point of hysterical
merriment and occasionally during the
two hours Is veritable scream.
1t would be downright injustice to
prospective Belasco theatergoers to re-
veal any of the situations or lines of
the comedy. The speeches must be
heard coming from the lips of charac-
ters sharply and clearly drawn but
exaggerated beyond even the usual
limits of farce. There Is very little
that can be said of farce after 1t has
been called a success. There are thank
fully no problems" to discuss, and the
art of acting resolves itself into the
simple question of whether an actor or
actress can be funny to an audience.
"It is to laugh''-and it is nothing
else.
BY this same rule the Belasco play
ers last evening once more proved
themselves excellent comedians. The
play was marred somewhat by the lack
of memory on the part of some of the
actors, and coupled with the fact that
the play lacks continuity, so absolutely
as to make 1t doubtful at times wheth-
er the players have not forgotten their
lines altogether and have resorted to
the expedient of making up sentences
as they go along, and it did not run so
smoothly as the audiences later in the
week may have right to expect.
No one in the audience knows what
the story is or how it began or what
keeps it running on. But everyone Is
willing to laugh and many are glad
to do so without the necessity of think
ing. The farce is in reality nothing but
horse play, and everything which can
in any way add to it in this way has
been thought of. Miss Gardner and
Miss Langham even indulge in the
speciality of making dolls out of their
handkerchiefs with no other apparent
reason.
Howard Scott, who makes his fare
well bow to Los Angeles this week,
plays what is supposed to be the star
role. He gives a great many laughs
during the course. of his time on the
stage, and deserves praise for more re-
serve than any of the others could dis
play with the exception of Tom Oberle.
James Bliss makes the "hit" of his
local career as a fussy old gentleman,
whose chief method of making the
audience laugh is to have his name mis-
pronounced and then clustering about
it. Robert Dempster and Joseph Gal
braith are good in straight" roles,
which are never of much importance
in a farce.
Amelia Gardner has nothing more to
do than be a silly girl. She Is ably
assisted In this by Margaret Langham.
who finds her first opportunity in Los
Angeles to display to any extent the art
and charm which her "bit" of last week
promised.
Oberle's Sidney Gibson, tailor, is a
character creation, which will linger
long with the audience.
