WENT THROUGH THE SCENERY.
Distinguished Actors Swung Their
Swords TO Good Effect.

Swords TO Good Effect.
David Higgins recalls an amusing
story Of Lawrence Barrett and John
Mccullough when they were starring
together In the west. The manager OF
some out of the way place in Colorado
got them to play an engagement with
him for lone night only" The stage
of the theater was so small that there
was hardly standing room for the COM
pany, the flies being about two feet
above the actors heads. The bill was
Richard Ill.," and by the time they
came to the last scene the patience OF
both Mccullough and Barrett was ex-
hausted. But they had their revenge.
Just before they rushed on for the
"wind-up" between Richard and Rich
mond, Mccullough, who was playing
Richard, turned to Barrett.
How in thunder are we going to
swing our swords In that space?" he
asked.
Never mind" replied Barrett, "cut
the scenery down." And they did.
They went at each other with a ven
geance, and with every blow made a
cash in the flies or cut piece out OF
one of the wings. When the fight was
finished and the victorious Richmond
stood over his PROSTATE foe, the flies
above him hung In ribbons and the
wings were total wrecks.

STANDARD YIELDS RICH ORE
Specimen From San Bernardino Mine
on Exhibition In The Herald
Office

The biggest specimen of rich copper
ore ever brought into Los Angeles ar
rived yesterday by express, consigned
to the General Securities company in
the Pacific Electric building.
The big chunk weighs 319 pounds and
is just a fragment from the five-foot
vein recently struck in the 130-foot
level of Standard Mine No. 1, located
near Gina, San Bernardino county.
The vein is one of great richness and
holders of Standard stock are jubilant
over this, the latest great strike, which
practically means that Standard stock
will go to two dollars within a month.
The big ore specimen will be placed
on exhibition in the Herald office in n
few days so the people of Los Angeles
can see what great mine is located
near the city.
Competent judges say they think the
mine equal to any under development

Army and naval officers also testify
to the excellent results accomplished
among the enlisted men by the Young

General Frederick u. Grant has asked
that associations he established at
every post under his command. He
had grave doubts at one time regard
ing organiza tions within the army
posts. and he required daily reports
from all those under his direction.
These were quietly checked UP, and
later. speaking Of the results, General
Grant said.
"1 found my prejudice unfounded. At
the posts where the Young Mems
Christian association was active there
were fewer courts-martial and deser-
tions, and the enlisted men we're more
contented and happy.

march in the Philippines I found the

Los Angeles herald., 1906-05-11

Subscriptions to the building fund of
the Young Mems Christian association
are steadily moving toward the quar-
ter million mark, the total reported up
to 6 o'clock last evening being only
a little more than $4,000 short of that
amount There is little doubt that
this difference will be made up before
the end of the week, leaving 100000
to be raised in the final week of the
great campaign.
There is no question that this task
will be a big one, but the directors of
the association feel certain that it can
be accomplished if everybody who has
the welfare of the Y. M. c. A. at heart
will assist in one final united effort
to that end. The directors themselves
propose to set the example, many of
them having arranged to give prac-
tically their whble time and attention
to the work after next Monday. AS
many Of the members Of the canvass
ing committees as can possibly do so
also will make the task of raising funds
their first consideration. The indica-
tions therefore are that the campaign
will be given one of the greatest fin
ishes ever seen in the case of a similar
movement.
The influence for good exerted by the
Y. M. C. A. is shown in a number of
different ways.
