Mime. Johanna Gadski

And so we are to have Nine. Gadski
with us once again, that consummate
artist who won such an ovation at the
hands of the Los Angeles public when
she visited this city last season. The
question naturally arises what are the
personal characteristics that have en-
deared Nine. Gadski to the American
public? She has never had scandal,
she has never lost her jewels and there
has never been a divorce in the family.
There is little of romance or startling
features in this little lady's home life.
Nine. Gadski, aside from the hard work
and the inevitable artistic trials in
separable from career such as hers,
has figured in no events that might be
termed sensational. In short, she is in
her private life true, womanly wo-
man. the possessor of a devoted hus-
band and the mother of sweet little
daughter of IL. who has inherited the
graces and talents of her distinguished
mother. She and her father accom-
pany the prima donna on all the lat

SINGERS TOUR
STATE IN AUTO
ANGELA MAY AND SEXTET
START MONDAY
Concerts Will Be Given at Private
Houses Instead of on the
Stage-San 6ernar-
dino First

Angela May, with her company of
singing and playing girls, will start
upon her automobile trip through
Southern California on Monday morn
ing.
The big White touring car is now in
readiness for it's precious load of fem
ininity, and when on Monday morn
ing it is made to dash along the road
to the south the honk of delight will
probably be emitted by the monster.
Miss May, in conjunction with j.
Louis MacEvoy, is to give an enter
tainment at Blanchard hall Saturday
evening, and after a rest of one day
the assault upon the castles of attain
ment will be begun.
The Colonial SeXtet, as the bunch Of
girls who are with Miss May is called,
consists of several young women who
sing and play stringed instruments
very well, indeed.
The plan of the tour is simple and
it would seem strange that it had not
been thought of before
The company will start from Los
Angeles in the White car and will go
to San Bernardino, where the artists
will give an entertainment in the draw
ing room of some fashionable house.
The entertainment will be given pre-
cisely as upon the stage, and the only
difference will be that instead of play
ing at theaters the concerts will be
given altogether in private houses.
A certain amount of musical and So
cial prestige is necessary to make such
an undertaking successful and both are
abundantly possessed by the Colonial
Sextet.
Miss May is recognized as one of the
best contralto singers in the west, and
the company which she will carry will
be but little below her standard in
ability.
first proposed. there was serious diff
ficulty encountered in finding car
suited to the needs of the company.
Manager H. d. Ryus of the White
garage was finally approached, and a
car was secured from him which an
swers the purpose admirably.

Stewards talents. The entire produc-

EXPECT TO BREAK
DEADLOCK SOON
Committee NEARING END OF
STRUGGLE
Believed That Names to Be Prese ented
as Members of Board Of Public
Works viii Satisfy
Every Ono

The deadlock in the committee of
seven, which by consent of both the
mayor and city council Is to select the
men for the board of public works, re-
mains unbroken, although heroic eff
forts were made by the committee yes
terday to name three men who will
accept the place and at the same time
please the people of Los Angeles.
The members met in the office of O.
7. Johnson, one of the members of the
committee, at IL o'clock, and sat con-
stantly until 9 O'Clock in the afternoon,
but no selections had been made when
an adjournment was taken. The COM
mittee adjourned to meet again this
morning and by that time it is eX-
pected several men whose names have
been mentioned will have had time to
decide whether or not they will accept
the positions.
Herbert J. Goudge, assistant city at
torney. Mr.. Goudge has rendered his
resignation of that place to become a
partner in a big law firm that will
handle all the legal business of a large
life insurance corporation; A. B. Cass,
who declares his business interests will
not allow him to accept the position
Niles Pease, retired from active busi-
ness and who Is expected to advance
the objection that having retired he
prefers to spend the declining years of
his life in peace; w. D. Stephens, Gen.
E. p. Johnson, William Mead, Mai.
John H. Norton, r. Fl. Heron, Kas-
pare Cohn, James G. Kays, J. H. Call
and Joseph Scott, who now is a memv
ber of the board of education.
These men and others, whose names
have not been learned, have all been
considered by the committee of seven,
but all are men of affairs and to each
1t would mean more or less of Sacri-
flee to accept such a position as the
board of public work requires.
1t is understood that any three of the
men whom the committee has been
considering would be readily accept
able to both the mayor and the city
council, and the promise of the council
to furnish the board with a sufficient
force to care for all the details of the
work, and leave the members of the
board free to follow their own pur-
suits to a large extent Gf men of this
caliber are apponted), is expected to
have some influence in inducing some
of them to accept the place.
On only one thing has the council
stipulated to the committee of seven
in giving it carte blanche to select the
members of the board. This is that

ABOUT THE WORLDS
LETTER WRITING
CONSUL McNALLY WRITES FROM
LIEGE ABOUT THE AMOUNT
OF CORRESPONDENCE DONE.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, d. c., May 24.-Consu
McNally writes from Liege that the
publication of the worlds postal sta
tistics by the Universal Postal Union
at Berne develops some interesting
facts from which he deduces that
from the amount or nature of coun.
try's correspondence one cannot esti.
mate its commercial activity or de-
velopment along other lines.
Following is the arrangement in
the order of their importance of the
number of letters and postal cards
passing through the postoffice for
1905 of countries having over 20 per
head:
Great Britain. 1873 per head of pop
ulation; United States, 67.6; New Zea-
land, 66.3; Switzerland. 59.7; Ger
many, $50; Denmark, 41.6; Austria,
1872; Argentine, 37.2; Luxembourg,
346; Holland, Bill; Belgium, 29.4;
Sweden, 26.4; France, 262; Norway,
2O.5.
1t is evident that the development
of instruction cannot be seen from the
greatest correspondence, for coun
tries having compulsory education,
such as France, Denmark and Nor
way, hold a mediocre place, while
other countries noted for the percent
age of illiteracy are well in the front
1t is singular to note that the citizens
of Austria and Denmark write more
letters than do those of France. Bel
GUM ranks eleventh in the list. A
commercial status or other develop
ment does not figure, or both France
and Belgium would hold a better po-
sition. 1t is seen that those of Anglo
Saxon blood correspond more fire.
quently than do those of the Latin
races.
Great Britain derives the greatest
profits from her postal system, net
ting annually about $23,43S,627, the
second country being Russia with
$20,595,595 profits. Russia is not con-
sidered a letter writing country, and
its printed matter is restrained, and
yet upon its peculiar system it derives
good profits. The Russian postoffice
department employs 65,1S7 persons,
while Germany employees 269,517. ia
pan. employs 81 ,43O. or almost as
many as Russia, but its profits are
comparatively small.

servitude for life, being transported
to the French penal settlement at
DEVILS Island.
About a year ago he and other con

long and hazardous voyage, in the
course Of which they were attacked
by sharks, whilst Guerin had to keep
his companions in order by the aid
of loaded revolver. On landing he
struck out on his own account. and
after many thrilling adventures he
reached civilization again.
A short time ago it became known
to the police that he was probably in
London. He was recognized and ar
rested by the same London police of
fcer who had taken him up in 1888.
