Paralyzed the Audience

When Col. Jack" Haverly was in the hey
day OF his career the minstrel show at his
Fourteenth street theater was an institution OF
national prominence. The Wednesday matinee
there was the trying out" performance when
applicants for engagements were given an op-
portunity to appear and show what they
could do. Some one had enlisted Mrs. Haver-
ly's interest in team of young clog dancers,
and she induced the colonel to let them go on.
When they did their turn they proved to be,
in the theatrical parlance of today, 'the worst
ever" They could scarcely dance at ALL and
there was not the slightest hint of applause.
The audience was as still a church
gregation. Naturally the colonel was indlg
nant and Mrs. Haverly was deeply mortified.
At the end of the performance the young
dancers went to the colonel's office.
well, boys" said he. trying not to be
harsh. ''you did your turn. You had your
danoe-but 1 can't engage you"
'Why not?"
Because you didn't get a hand"
'Oh, 1 know that" spoke up the smallest
one; I'VE just paralyzed them"
On the strength of that answer, according to
ALI Hayman, who was present. the colonel
then and there engaged them as members Of
his famous double octet OF dancers.

which I attach hereto and in which
was misquoted.
1t said that Thomas Lloyd represented
the university section, which is true,
and further said that he refused to con-
slider any plan which should change the
names of the streets in his section. We
object to names, as we already have
numbers.
Here is where 1 was misauoted:
Though he was perfectly willing that
all of the street names on the other side
of the town should be changed and
favored the plan."
I emphatically deny that I made use
Of such language. I did not say any,
thing about the other side of the city,
as our fight was for the university Sec
tion only. We are fully aware that the
other side Of the city is amply able to
take care Of it's own interest. In JUS
tice to myself and the people whom I
represent I ask you to make a correc-
tion in your daily paper, as the state
ment is misleading.

sen" is another striking instance OF
how far wide of the mark Osler can
shoot.
Nobody who meets our fellow towns
man H. D. Barrows would dream that
that gentleman is eighty and that he
can, unassisted, dispatch two canvas
back ducks and a couple Of bottles of
extra dry Mumm as an equalizer.
1t Is the Climate
Not one man in a thousand would be-
lieye that the urbane and active Albert
Mcfarland, the treasurer of the Times,
is a nonagenarian. He would answer
very we'll for sixty. And that re-
minds me that some years ago 1 was
up in San Francisco, when the CONVEX
sation turned on Dan Mcfarland, and
nv interlocutor said Dan Mcfarland
was the handsomest man in Los An
geles. mo" said I, Dan is very
good looking fellow, but there Is
handsomer man than Dan down there
WHO is it, then?" asked my friend.
Dams father" I replied, with world
of truth.
Old Judge Eaton, the ex-mayor's
father, has not been much in the pub
lie eye of late, but he is still so robust
and young looking that when told he
is nearly so the surprise is great. And
so we might say of many other Ange-
lenos.
There Is something in the climate OF
Los Angeles that not only keeps men
young, but keeps them young looking.
No one would guess guess Judge Ers-
kline Mo Ross to be within ten years of
his age. That eminent jurist fought in
the Confederate army, and yet most
people would think to look at him that
he must have been near the cradle forty
years ago. William r. Rowland was
sheriff of Los Angeles county thirty-five
years ago, yet nobody would guess him
over As.
Southern California is full of people
who have simply made up their minds
to live their lives all over again, and
who aim at being octogenarians and
nonagenarians, and many of them will
achieve their ambitions. They have
come to Southern California somewhat
in the spirit which Sir William Tenn
pie, the statesman of William IIIs
reign, said actuated a great many of
the gentry of England, and which led
them after they had got somewhat up
in years to HE them to Argentina,
Peru or some other tropical country,
by which enterprise they added twenty
years or so to their lifetime.
Without attempting to go outside of
the province of a layman. there is GER
tainly a subtle quality in the air of
Southern California which is highly
favorable to long life and to bring about
surcease Of the carking cares which
the irritating climates of many of the
trans-Rocky mountain states engender.
We may we'll look for the development
here of the most vigorous and most
beautiful race on the footstool, instead
of fearing any enervating develop
ments The turfmen have substan-
TALLY agreed that on this side of the
continent the horse is destined to reach
his highest development. On the prin-
ciple that what is good for a horse is
good for man, we may rest assured
of results in the evolution of a noble
manhood and womanhood as great or
greater than those which have attended
the stock breeding operations of our
Stanfords and HagginS.

FOR THE Care
OF The INJURED

The first Hospi, al" car ON the
Lackawanna railroad vent into service
Friday last on the Bloomsbury divis-
ion. 1t is model of its kind and will
be stationed at Kingston. In case of
accident it can be easily moved to any
point and the victim or victims of an
accident removed to their homes in
comfort
This new car for the injured is uu-
der the personal supervision of DR.. Il. .
II. Lake, district surgeon of the com
pauy.
This car has formerly been used as
passenger coach, but has been remodel
ed, painted and tastily arranged in a
light yellow, and vanished so that it
presents a cheerful appearance with
out and within.
On either side of the car, near the
center, is sliding door, through it
the injured being received.
There are steam heat attachments, a
high pressure brake, and every con-
venience for making the injured as
comfortable as possible. There are six
upholstered couches, covered with
black enamelei cloth, with pillows of
the same material. Each bed is affixed
firmly TO the floor, each being two feet
six inches in width, by six feet six

about one foot between each. A mum
Der of stretchers are also provided,
simple in construction, yet most use
ful, for the unfortunate victim of a
railroad or mine accident is moved but
once from the time of the injury until
he is placed upon his own bed at home
or in the hospital.
At Que end of the car is commod-
ious cupboarj,in in which are kept med
icines, surgical appliances. while di-
rectly opposite is a stationary wash
stand and above it is water cooler.
At the other end of the car is located
four coach seats.
There are numerous ventllatIng
windows near the ceiling while the
usual windows of passenger coach
are arranged along the sides the entire
length The car was built under the
supervision of master car builder r.
F. McKenna, in the Scrantou shops
The work of rendering systematized
first aid to the injured in that section
originated several years ago with the
Lackawanna road, and the establish
ment and maintenance of the hospit-
al car is another step toward perfec-
tion of this necessary work.
The car also is furnished with the
necessary cards Of instruction, so that
anyone will know what to do until the
physician arrives

striking contrast 10 the popular priced
tented exhibits of other concerns OF

new move ties of the highest merit
been brought together in one ing the
entire space within tha enormous can
vas being fairly alive with a mystify-
ing myriad of new displays, novel
performances and thrilling exploits of
such positive originality and daring
AS to give this department of their
show new character. Not cnly in
point of size, merit aud novelty do the
Sig Sautelle aud Welsh Brothers en-
tertainments excel, but the system up
in keeping with the superior charact-
er of the features presented. From the
time of the ARRIVAL of the first advance
courier announcing the coming of the
show, to the departure of the train al
ter the accom- plishment of its exhibit,
there is observed a system of rigid re-
gularity, a strict, honest and moral

the formation of massed bands. Every
player engaged in the different bands
about thirty-five in number which
will participate i'll the parade, will be
assigned to their proper places in this
great formation. There will probably
be over /, 100 musicians in the mass.
After the formation has been com
pleted on Market street, between Third
and Fourth streets, at the conclusion
of the parade. the mammoth band will
march up Third street and will play
