ident of the club and pastor of the
Plymouth Congregational church at
Long Beach, presided in the absence
of the president and first vice-presi-
dent.
c. S. Billings, the secretary. read a
letter of regret from DR.. R. r. Mer-
edith, the president stating his in
ability to be present on account of ill
ness and misfortune in his family.
Delightful selections were rendered

less, Mrs. L. Gundry and Mrs. c. w.
Jones.
Rev, Mr.. Dorland, in brief remarks,
introduced the speaker of the even
ing, Rev. O. X. Miller of Washington,
D. c., who spoke on Good Tidings
from the National Capital" He dwelt
upon the many legislative victories
that had been won in congress and
the bright prospects on the same lines
in the future. Rev. Mr.. Miller apollo
gized with the statement that he had
spoken on his subject for the evening
several times in this city, but which
met with the encouragement from one
of the ministers that it was worth
repeating several times more"
Rev. Mr.. Miller emphasized the
point that while the members of con-
gress were doing remarkably we'll in
the promotion of morality and tenn
perance, it was well to keep a keen
eye out OH their movements.

1T is encouraging that we have a

MISS ROCHE SPURNS TITLE
Takes Out Citizenship Papers in This
Country, Giving UP Right to
Be Called Honorable"

Special to The Herald.
NEW YORK, March 15.-Friends Of
Miss Cynthia Roche have been quietly
informed that she has renowned her
position as British subject and has
become an American girl Having
been born in England and being a
daughter of j. Burke Roche, she was
a subject of King Edward. Not only
has this been renowned. her friends
say, but she has abandoned all claims
to the title THE Honorable" to which
she would some day have succeeded.
Moreover, in order that she would be-
come an American girl in every sense
of the term. she has taken out papers
of citizenship in New York.
Miss Roche has taken these steps at
the request of her mother, Mrs. Fanny
Burke Roche, who was divorced from
her husband n few years ago. Five
years ago j. Burke Roche visited this
country, and through counsel made an
effort to obtain the custody Of his
children. He especially desired to take
back to England with him his daugh-
ter, who has lived in this country
nearly all her life and who now gives
up all claim to the family title.
Miss Roche, whose engagement to
Arthur S. Burden was announced
recently. like all American girls, de-
lights in sports. She is tennis
player and drives a four-in-hand
skillfully. She often appears in the
tanbark ring driving her mothers val
liable show horses. She also takes a
deep interest in the success of her
mothers kennels. She is one of the
most popular girls in society.
No reason is given for the taking out
of citizenship papers by Miss Roche,
Her brother Francis was the only mem
Der of the family who could be seen.
He said he had no knowledge of such
action taken by his sister. He said his
sister may have taken out the papers,
but for what reason he could not state.
His sister, he added came to this
country when three years old and has
always been an American girl at heart.
Miss Roche lives with her grand
father Frank Work, at No. 10 East
Twenty street.

Charles B. Hanford and Il good com
pany gave a painstaking performance
of Shakespeare's Othello, to one of the
smallest but most appreciative audi
ences of the season at the Mason opera
house last evening.
The performance opened a three
night season of Shakespearean roper
toire.
Mr.. Hanford is all actor of reputa-
ton, hardly of the modern school and
yet not of the old school. His Othello
does not quite fill the ideal of the high
strung, passionate Moor whom Shakes
peare pictures with such mastery
strokes, and yet he is an admirable
man. Mr.. Hanford yields to a desire
to be declamatory and almost ponder
Gus, but he has his work at heart and
possesses a pleasant voice, a command
ing presence and many other agreeable
qualities.
Miss Marie Drofnah was a charming
Desdemona. Her enunciation is faulty
but an attractive face and pleasing
manner is compensation.
Frank Hennig as Iago gave good
performance of one of the greatest
parts ever written. Mr.. Hennig lacks
subtlety, but is on the whole a finished
artist.
The work of the other members of
the company is conscientious and at
times artistic The costumes were
rich and the stage settings unusually
attractive.
Mr.. Hanford's audience was all that
could be desired in appreciativeness,
and time and again he and the other
leading characters were compelled to
answer to curtain calls.

dark and the Olympia opera company
will go to Denver for the rest of the
season,

theater will be rernodeled and a house
with a seating capacity of 1000 will be
erected. N
THE stage will be the largest in the
city and is to be ninety feet wide

There will be two balconies; the top
gallery will reach clear through to
Spring street, and the whole house will
be the most luXuriously fitted in the
city
THE class of operas which we shall
present after the new building is COM

September. will be very much higher
than we have hitherto given here.
Such operas as The Sporting Duchess
the Prince of Pilsen,' which has
never been presented in Los Angeles
except at So a seat, Dolly Warden and
many others. We propose to make of
the new Hotchkiss much higher class
proposition than the Tivoli of San

people as we can get and among them
will be some of the best singers in the
country

Receipt for Preserving Husbands

Husbands. like peaches, will not
keep the year around unless they are
well preserved. First, select one
carefully. Be sure he is not too
green; neither should he be overripe.
He might look very tempting and
mellow in the market, but if he is
too old he will not stand the test of
the preserving process, but will ex-
pose his hard stony heart. Husband

very fine, but are usually insiped

your husband, if possible, from a
family tree grown on the sunny side
Of church. You will be sure that
ne is sound at heart. Unsound hus-
band, like unsound peaches, often

Having selected your husband you
should have clear, study, cherry
fire of love. Your preserving ket-
tleshonld be neat and clean. Hus-
band, like peaches, look very black
if this is unclean. Give him plenty
of sweetness. Much sugar is needed
Vinegar is never used in sweet pre-
serves. If you think he needs lit
tie spice, use it with caution. Do
not keep stirring him up, neither
should you keep poking him with
sharp points too see if he is done;
1t may spoil his looks.
If the above receipt is followed
and you have selected the right kind
of a husband you will find his love

Charged to a Republican Paper.

Since my father and ! have pur-
chased The Livermore News" and
have been publishing same, we have
found it improbable to publish an
Independent newspaper in this COM
munity, and as there are two Demo
cratic papers already being publish
ed in Mclean county. and as our
political views are Republican. we
have decided to make The News"
beginning with this issue, Repub-
lican paper: upholding and advocat-
ing Republican views as clearly and
and strongly as we see them.
We do not make this change to
annoy or anger our Independent or
Democratic friends; we only do il
because it is to our advantage to do
so and because we are Republicans
and think it our duty to our beliefs
and to our party to uphold and ad-
yocate our views. We cannot see as
there can be any one with reason
and fairness who will condemn us
for the stand we have taken, for it
is our privilege to express our views
as we see them and to show our po-
litical colors.
We do not wish to incite the anger
or cause hard feelings with our po-
litical opponents by this change, or
bv any thing we may publish in its
columns, but we fully expect to
publish our opinions and advocate
our political doctrines as truthfully,
but as plainly and as strongly. as it
is in our power to see them.

Wood has long been used for street
pavements. Only within the past
few years, however, has it been sat
isfactorily adopted in the cities of
the United States. Previous failures
can be traced almost entirely to i'm
proper construction or methods of
preparation. In most cases round
blocks of cedar or other woods were
used, without precautions against
decay and without adequate founda-
ton for the pavement. The conse-
quence was that, as paving mate
rial, wood fell into disfavor.
Recent use of rectangular wooden
blocks for street pavements has Civ

mistaken. The validity of the law

was as to the right of j. T. Scott.

license to sell liqnor in New Castle
VS.. the trustees of that town. The
question was one of law as to wheth-
er or not they had a right under the
circumstances to refuse Scott a Ii
cense. The question involved New
Castle alone and had nothing what
ever to do with the constitutionality
of the county unit law. Judge Peak
decided that the trustees of New Cas-
tie had no right under the law to
refuse SCOTS application. The de-

A Ba hiking C0nundrum.


A Western exchange published the
following conundrum: A banker
sauntering home for his dinner saw
a SO bill laying on the curbstone.
He picked it up and took the num-
Der in order to find the owner.
While at home his wife remarked to
him that the butcher had sent bill
amounting to $40. The only money
he had with him was the bill he had
found, which he gave to her and she
paid the butcher. The butcher paid
it to farmer for a calf, and the
farmer paid it to a washwoman, and
she, owing the banker a note of $40
went to the banker and paid the
note. The banker recognized the
bill as the one he had found and
which up to that time had paid $50
worth of debt. On careful investi-
cation he discovered that the bill
was counterfeit. Now will some of
our friends tell US what has been
lost in the transaction, and by whom?

That terrible period for the
wage-earners of this country which
began in 1893 and which has left be-
hind it such record of horror. hun
ger and misery practically ended
with the dawn of the year 1897.
Wages had been steadily forced
down from 1893 till toward the end
Of 1895, and it was variously esti-
mated that between two million and
TWO and half million wage .earners
were unemployed. 1t is agreed by
all that the wage-earners are the
principal consumers of American
products. and it necessarily follows
that a reduction in wages involves a
diminution in the power of consump-
ton, and consequently a proportion
ate decrease in production, and, nat
urally, also in the force of labor re-

duction of wages, therefore, results
in an increase in the army of the
