the stability of life insurance is question
of vital importance in millions of American homes
Grover Cleveland has consented to lend hand in re-
habitatng the great Equitable Life concern
of New York
Only the gravity of the situation. and the momentous
interests involved could have induced Mr. Cleveland to
sacrifice his retirement to the extent that his action i'm
plies 1t not only the situation of this particular life
company that appeals to him. He knows that If such
colossal the Equitable be weakened by mis-
management the whole structure of American life in
surance will suffer. The sagacious former president
that amenabe results might follow further rupture
in the Equitable and hence he consents he says TO
his best ability 'to bring about improved cond
tion of affairs in the interests of the people"

stment of Mr. Clevelands ripe judgment in the work
of recognizing the big corporation Probably other
individual in the United States enjoys public confidence

American people know that Grover Cleveland will exert

POISONOUS LIQUOR ADULTERANTs

The city chemist is reported saying that Judging
from the samples submitted to him for test drug store
whisky is than that sold in the saloons" The
most common concocton which passes for drug store
whisky is diluted alcohol gycerine, cayenne pepper
and artificial fruit essences One sample is said to
have shown in the test "a liberal of creosoe"
In justice to few of the better class of drug stores
this statement of the official chemist should be quoted
81 have ascertained that most of the rstcass druggists
sell only the article and charge accordingly That
is equivalent to saying however that there are drug
stores classed in the first rank which such vile con.
coctions described 1t also declares substantially
that in the lower grades of drug stores such adultera
tons are the rule.
Viewing this subject from the prohibition standpoint
it might be said of person who would buy drug store
whisky for whslys sake! Serves him right" But from
the broader and considerable point of view IL surely
is wrong tolerate the poisoning by creosoe and other
deadly agents of a confirmed whisky drnker
The analyses Of liquors in figures officially should
lead to the elimination of harmful aduerants in all
liquors whether sold in drug stores saloons and
whether for medicinal or exhilarating purposes

SALIENT BEACH ATTRACTION

most striking feature in the evolution of seaside

lection Of piers bearing handsome pavons and other
structures for the pleasure of visitors.
This feature of improvement at the beaches is quite
Until within the last three four years there
were only few oldfashoned piers leading out short
and suitable only for shermens perches The
idea of building handsome piers, reaching far out and
surmouned by pretty structures for public comfort and

In the change going rapidly in this respect

increased business.

DEPICTS TYPICAL
BOWERY LIFE
NEW BILL AT BELAC0'S is A
WINNER
Play Is Essentially a Character Conn
edy, and Aside From Hllarlty
Provoked Little Is
Gained

E. w. Townsends famous Bowery
character, "Chimmie Fadden," made
his debut in Los Angeles last evening
at the Belasco theater and was given
an enthusiastic welcome.
"Chimmie Fadden," as announced on
the program, is essentially a character
comedy" and aside from the hilarity
valentines there is little to be gained
from the play.
Richard Vivian made decided sue
cess of "Chimmie" from the moment
he made his first entrance with a crowd
OF singing Bowery urchins at his heels.
Miss Margaret Langham confirmed the
impression she created in THE Girl
and the Judge" as to her unusual ar
tistic ability. AS Fannie Van Cort-
land she showed how nearly alive a
colorless role can be made by fine work
and distinctive personality.
Joseph A. Galbraith was given an en-
thusiastic reception after his week in
the hospital and he presented "one of
the 400" with ease and naturalness.
Miss Marie Howe carried off the "char-
acter" honors of the. evening as Mrs.
Murphy, who rushes the growler. Miss
Fanchon Everhart gave an excellent
conception Of Chimmies mother. Thom-
as Oberle and George Barnum in small
roles, showed themselves to be actors
of great promise.
Special mention should be made Of
the first act, which was so cleverly
constructed that the inadequacy of the
plot was entirely hidden by the COM
pleteness of the Bowery atmosphere"

At the Orpheum

There's another good bill at the Or
are the best part of the bill. Mabelle
Adams should head the program overy
time. The house made more noise over
her violin playing than over any other
feature of the evening. Besides an en-
livening grace and great spirit, the girl
puts something of real poetry into her
trivialities. "Traumerei'' was her best
number, though her patriotic medley
was most applauded by the audience.
A new feature and a winner was the
"farcette" Of John Rice and Sally Co
hen, a funny trifie, acted with good eff
feet. Rice especially did some good
comedy work.

PREMATURE PRESIDENTIAL PRAISE

Force of habit Is leading the Republican press to
premature praise Of the president for HIS mediation in
the Russian-Japanese war. It is assumed by certain
newspapers that the end of the is assured by
son of the presidents intervention upon that
sumption they pour out adulaton like gushing oil we'll
The general tenor of this presidential praise Is IL
usrated in a dispatch from Washington to contem-
porary from which we quote thus: president Roose-
welt has done many striking and dashing things since
he became president he had done before he reached
the White House. but in the eyes Of the world bringing
Russia and japan together is his greatest and most dar
ing achievement"
His most daring achievement unquestionably, but
whether his greatest one remains to be Let not
him boast that putteth his but him that aketh
1t off,"
All the civilized world hopes that peace may result
from the presidents projection of his good offices into
ENHANCEMENT which concerns all Of Europe and the
greater part of Asia 1t is important to bear in mind,
however that foreign government ventured to take
such action. The pretense that foreign could
consistently make overtures to Russia and Japan and
that hence the duty logically devolved upon the pres
dent, is all Any European power in wise
connected with the begerents might have consistently
done just what the president is credited withf 1t had
been inclined to monkey with hornets nest.
Russia and Japan still far from peace and the
American people need be surprised If the president
gets rebuff instead of thanks for his good offices AS
The Herald has remarked before, the government Of
Russia is the proudest in Europe and it will continue the
fight indefinitely rather than submit to CALLING terms
Of peace And the judgment is recorded here that If
peace results 1t will be the basis Of the
liberal terms the part of Japan that has been offered
by any under similar conditions in modern times
1t will be wise to await further developments, anyway
before assuming that the president will pose blessed
peacemaker the opposite side of the earth All that
he has accomplished practically is the showing of his
good intentions which said to be rated on level
with paving materials. But he has done what all Amer
lean traditions and admonitions against He has
"butted in" foreign ENHANCEMENT involving all the
great military powers abroad directly or indirectly
Whether it wise otherwise for him to undertake
this daring achievement" we shall know later Just
now there is cause for grave misgiving.

| wanted. Can the one make up for the
other? Never, never! When l knew
that he loved you, then l would not stay
to see the hollow mockery of love that

and that he would be happier, and II
could, perhaps, forget"
She spoke very softly and sadly. There
was no emotion in her voice. It was as
though she was telling the story not of
herself, but of some other woman who
had loved and suffered.
Rosamond crouched before her, hold
ing the two small hands in her own.
Hot tears of pity dropped thickly upon
them. 1t seemed to her all too sad and
too pathetic, the faithful, childish heart,
that having lots it's illusions, had gone
away alone to die. sooner than live on
with only shadow of its own dead
hopes.
"And it is l who have brought you
this VICE." she sobbed, with a bitter
self-remorse, hiding her face upon Kit
tens lap. Kittens small, thin hand
rested lightly upon the dark, bowed
head.
"No, do not say that. Once l was
angry and jealous, once I almost hated
you, but l was wrong, oh, yes, l was
very wrong, for it was unjust. Was
| it your fault that he loved you first and
| best-is it ever woman's fault? And
| she always has to bear all the punish

tween her own. ''It is true that it was
not my fault. When l came back free

promises to me, and that he would be
free, too. When he told me that he was

to me; but l sent him back to you. Still,

She repeated the words in whisper,
with a little smile:
"Rosamond, I forgive you"
And Rosamond kissed her.

"No, dearest, you yourself will live
