Shrines at Warwickshlre
The great tower of Warwick, famed
in story, watches over the silver Avon
pictured in its placid waters, musing,
apparently, upon the centuries 1t has
known. Here is everything to delight
the intellect and the eye - turrets,
towers. gatehouses. barbicans, embat-
tied walls and parapets, bridges, moats,
keeps, lawns, greenswards, armories'
dungeons, staterooms and boudoirs
crowded with priceless relics and an
tiuuities. paintings of Holbein, Rey-
rillo and Titan, elegant .inlaid cabinets,
costly tapestries, vases, china and
enamels.
Romantic Guys cliff, with its Saxon
mill dating from before the conqueror,
it's lovely scenes and vistas, and It's
wealth of legendary lore, Is taken mid
way on the five-mile spin along the
splendidly laid road from warwick to
Kenilworth.
What shall be said of Kenilworth,
that imperial relic of MEDIEVAL majesty,
with its deathless memories OF Amy
Robsart, of proud and cruel Leicester,
and of the naughty Virgin Queen? The
pilgrim is haunted with thoughts too
deep for words as, resting upon the
gray and broken walls, caressed with
moss and ivy, he reconstructs in his
minds eye the ancient festal splendors
of these vaulted halls.
Now the run home to town, back

hills and down the four-mile coast

at homely wayside inn on the Oxford

the whispering wind behind you, and all

coMING BIC Prize rlGHT

At Goldheld, New, September 3, Prof.
BAT" Nelson and Mr.. Joe Cans will
hold hstic argument to decide
whether the first named gentleman
shall continue to hold the title OF
champion lightweight pugilist of
America or whether that honor shall
pass to the aopirant.
September 3, this year, is the first
Monday Of the month, which day has
been set aside as the one on which
Labor shall rule supreme.
II is the day when the wheels Of in
dustry are decreed to stop and the inn
plements Of toll are laid aside while
the workers engage in the pursuit OF
pleasures which they are not supposed
to partake Of during the other work
days of the year, or to gather In solemn
conclave to discuss the best means of
promoting the welfare Of the laboring
class.
In Los Angeles Labor day falls close
upon the opening Of the public schools.
Teachers for the ensuing term have
being pushed to completion, old ones
are being enlarged, renovated and
otherwise improved. the American
flags which will proudly float over the
temples of learning are being taken
from dusty garrets, where they have
reposed during the summer vacation
and all will be in readiness, on a day
following the great fight, for the in
auguration of a season of instruction
for the boys and girls upon whom, in
years to come, will fall the respon-
sibihties of the POLITICAL business and
social world.
Messrs. Nelson and Cans will con-
tend, in addition to the championship
honors. for purse of $4,000. said to be
the largest ever hung up" for pugil-
istic event
Thirty thousand dollars is over half
the amount received as years salary
by the president of the United States;
it represents more than the yearly
salary of the vice president; three
times that of each of the cabinet Of
ficers and several times the yearly pay
of United States senators and repre-
sentatives.
1t is a fortune whose amount COM
paratively few of the American people
can acquire by the honest struggles Of
a lifetime, and one which probably no
other place the size of Goldfeld could
afford to give for one days attraction.
Mr.. Cans the aspirant of champion
ship honors and a portion of that for
tune, is negro whose parents doubt
less once were owned by some wealthy
southern planter, while in the veins of
his adversary courses the blood of the
Norseman, and makes him one of the
whitest of all the Caucasians.
There are many lessons and morals
TO be taught in the battle which is to
occur on September 8, Labor day, in
the rich and progressive city of Gold
field, but on this bright Sunday morn
ing The Herald will give its readers
the privilege of studying the subject
and of drawing their own conclusions.

VIVID HUES FOR DEBUTANTES
Tulle Reigns Triumphant Ma
terial for the Ball
Room
Special Cable to The Heraic,

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, Aug. 11.-Girls born to be
debutantes in days over which tulle
reigns a triumphant material for even
ing toilettes are very lucky, for when
fashion is in love with the gauze-like
fabric she ordains that it shall clothe
her most youthful votaries in the ball
room, which means that those votaries
are draped in raiment that is super
latively becoming.
This season is certainly witnessing a
triumph for tulle that has not been
equaled for many long year past, per-
haps not since those early Victorian
days when tulle was the rage, and
dresses were festooned with that fab
ric caught up at intervals beneath
punches of tiny pink roses.
At a very smart ball given the other
night no one was more becomingly at
tired than an excessively pretty girl
who wore the brightest of bright green
tulle trimmed with glaring pink roses.
TIDe choice was daring one, but 1t was
justified by the result, for in her early
Victorian array this girl was certainly
the belle of the ball.
There is a very pronounced access OF
approval noticeable this season in favor

SCOTTISH EX-MAY0R WRITES
OF SAN FRANCISCO FIRE
HOW HE VIEWED 1T FROM LOS
ANGELES
Cannot Find Proof of Divine Judg-
ment In the Disaster to the For
oils

The following interesting CORE
spondence in regard to the earthquake
and fire at San Francisco is taken from
the Rothsay (Scotland) Buteman of re-
cent date. John Duncan, the writer, is
a citizen of Los Angeles, and formerly
a provost or mayor of Rothsay, his
native city.
I'VE here in Los Angeles fortunately
escaped damage from the earthquake
that visited San Francisco, but were
sufficiently frightened to be really
alarmed and concerned as to the end
of it, So for three days, April IS to Il,
we We're kept in a state of excitement
by the newspapers issuing hourly
extras" in very large type, reporting
the progress of the fire and the details
of the destruction caused by the earth
quake Alarge number of newsboys
were on duty selling the latest extras,
and at night crowds of thousands stood
on the streets up to midnight-my-
self among them-looking up at the
kilograms shadowed on a screen of cloth
as they reported the progress of the
fire.
"Of course, the first of these were
greatly exaggerated as regards the
number killed and wounded, guessing
them to be as high al from 5000 to 10000;
the actual number being 1000 as near
as can be told. So it has been a most
merciful earthquake so far as the killed
count, compared with other great earth
quakes, there being over 100000 popuia-
tion in San Francisco at the time of the
disaster.
But in regard to the destruction by
fire, 1t could not be exaggerated, as 1t
now appears that three-fourths of the
city has been destroyed and 100000 of
the people rendered homeless. 1 sup
pose about 5000 came to Los Angeles.
The railroads for some days carried the
people free out of the city, scattering
them to all parts to find a home and
friends.
Los Angeles has we'll done her share
in providing food and shelter for the
homeless. 1t is all very sad to think Of
but many believe that much good will
yet accrue from it. They talk of re-
building the city on a new and im-
proved plan at a cost Of half a billion
dollars. 1t may be done, but ii will
take a number of years to wear off the
feeling of terror lest there be another
earthquake that may destroy the new
city. Our ministers are praying much
about 1t. Some say 1t 1t Judgment on
San Francisco; others regard II as a
warning to the living In the light OF
the falling of the Tower of Sloan on
the eighteen men who were killed. In
the case OF the destruction of Sodom
and Gomorrah there was a preliminary
separation of the righteous, who were
saved from the wicked who were de.
stroyed. In the case of San Francisco
good, tad and Indifferent persons alike
and many churches and other benevo.
lent institutions were destroyed"
