"A MANS BROKEN PROMISE"
is WEEKS BILL AT GRAND

Battle, murder and sudden death, COM
bined in a way never contemplated in
the litany, go to make up this week s
thriller at the Grand. The melodrama,
good and mellow as is the popular
Grand's custom, was written, the pro-
gram asserts, by woman, but it is no
namby-pamby affair for all that. Miss
Lillian Mortimer is not gun shy On
the contrary. The Grand arsenal has
had to work overtime to turn out enough
guns to supply all the actors, while the
ammunition factory has been running
night and day in an effort to keep up
with the strenuous demands the young
womans drammer makes upon 1t.
However, Miss Mortimer has not found
1t In her heart to be so very wicked
after ALL Her villain is quite villain
Gus enough, but he is also exceedingly
stupid and Just when he has the good
people of the play nicely in his power
he always neglects the opportunity to
commit a nice, genteel murder. More
over, he eschews silk hats and he doesn't
smoke cigarettes. These are sins of
omission that stamp the playwright as
something of novice, but they may
be forgiven for the almost-thrills with
which she has abundantly supplied her
piece
Perhaps she does her best. consider

HUMAN CARTOON SHOWS
HIS PRIDE OF BIRTH
Has Worn Star SpangIed Costume for
More Than Twenty Years to
Prove He Is Patriotic
American

"Uncle SAM stepped right out of one
of Homer Davenport's cartoons on to the
streets of Los Angeles yesterday and in
| his queer garb created big sensation.
Uncle Sans other name is William
| Smith, but for twenty years or more the
| cognomen of his christening has been
| buried under the pseudonym he has
chosen for himself.
He is S8 years old "and getting younger
every day, thank you," as he cheerily
says.
For nineteen years he has been a
familiar figure around Tucson, Ariz.,
where he went in 1880 from New York
state.
He is the typical down east Yankee,
and the slight nasal drawl that charac-
teriZes his every word fits in we'll with
the red and white striped pantaloons,
strapped under his cowhide boots, the
star spangled jacket with the long lapels
and the flag covered plug hat that he
wears. His long, thin, white locks and
chin whiskers and rugged features,
bron2ed by the desert suns, complete the
picture.
Shows His Patriotism
When asked why he dons his conspicu-
Gus garb and assumes his peculiar role
he replies that he does it only to amuse
himself and to provide an occupation for
his declining years In Arizona, how
ever, where he is we'll known. they tell
different story. 1t Is this:
Like all New Englanders, Smith was
patriotic and wanted to go to war.
He made two attempts to enlist, but
owing to a physical disability was re-
jected.
Thoughtless ones twitted him on re"
naming behind while they were march
ing to the front, and this aspersion on
his patriotism preyed on his mind.
Finally in desperation he resolved to
show the world that he was thoroughly
American even If the cruel recruiting Of
ficers would not let him fight, and to
advertise the fact doned the costume and
adopted the name by which the Ameri-
can is typified the world over.
Uncle Sam thinks he has found the
fountain of youth 1t is to go to bed
every night at o'clock and sleep II
hours. For thirty years he has followed
this program, and in spite of his ad-
vanced age his step still is sprightly and
his vision keen.

EVEN BARRIERS

Los Angeles Board of Health. Called on

Los Angeles patrons of barber shops
have read with interest the news that
Texas has Joined the list of southern
states where BARRIERS hereafter will be
obliged to undergo strict examinations
| as to l. ,ir fitness and knowledge of sani-
| tary laws.
In many states BARRIERS must appear be-
fore examining boards and win GER
tificate before they can practice tonsorial
arts.
| In California spasmodic attempts to en-
| force the laws have been made, but in
Los Angeles at present there is little
supervision of the public health as far
as the BARRIERS are concerned.
The recent move of some BARRIERS in
raising prices has resulted in many pa
irons urging that the laws be enforced
In return. thus holding the scissor and
razor artists to account.
| In the past week several complaints
have been made at the city hall by men
with the barber's itch and ringworm,
who blame their trouble on their bar

The question may come up at the next
meeting of the board of health.
Rules of Sanitation
The Los Angeles board of health adopt
| ed these rules to establish sanitation in
barber shops on September 1, 1903:
| 1. All BARRIERS shall be required to
wash their hands before shaving with
some reliable antiseptic soap and hot
| water before attending each customer.
2. That powder puff and sponge be
abolished.
| 3. That a steriliZed or clean fresh
| ly laundered towel shall be used for
each person and not used again till
washed and sterilized.
| 4. That mugs, combs, razors, clip
pers, scissors, bath brushes and hair
brushes shall be rinsed or washed in
boiling water or exposed to the ef-
fects of some germicde or antiseptic
or disinfectant solution, or formal
dehyde gas each time before using.
5. That alum or other astringents
shall not be used except in the form
of powder, such powder cared for in
manner that will be kept clean and
| applied to the skin with a sterilized
razor or towel.
| 6. In order to keep the strop clean
| and sterile no razor may be stropped
| before being immersed In some recog-
| nized antiseptic solution.
T. That customers observing any
| violation of the above rules will please
report the same to the health de-
partment in order that they may
properly be enforced.

Victoria, B. c., July 23.-The greatest
fire in Victoria's history occurred this
afternoon, destroying five blocks and
many detached buildings. involving loss
of a quarter of million dollars. Start
ing in the unused boiler shop of the de-
funct Albion works, the fire wiped out
the shacks of the tenderloin.
From Store street to Quadra, four
blocks eastward, and between Herald and
Chatham and Pioneer streets, scarcely
anything escaped. The poor pressure of
water greatly handicapped the firenen,
who, aided by the soldiers of the gar
rison and a host of volunteers. fought
desperately, pulling down many buildings
in the path of the fire, which was brought
under control at .. m.
Dynamite was brought in automobiles
to blow up buildings. but Fire Chief
Watson would not use it. The water
pressure was poor, greatly handicapping
the firemen. Men. women and children
were hurriedly carrying out their belong
ings from the houses in the threatened
section.
In many instances furniture brought to
the street was burned before conveyances
could be secured to carry it away. Sew
eral narrow escapes took place. The wo-
men who wanted to get back into burn

WILL BEGIN FIELD WORK
F. B. Weeks of the Geological Sur
vey to Study Lime-Phosphate
Deposits in Utah.
Especial to The Herald.9

Washington, July 23.!The extensive
work of the exploration and develop
ment now going On on the lime-phos-
phate deposits of Idaho, Oregon and
Utah affords an opportunity for de-
tailed study OF phosphate deposits that
will be used to great advantage by the
United States geological survey. The
pits and trenches dug to determine the
position and character of the beds must
be studied while still freshly made, as
they rapidly become filed with debris
from the surface, which renders their
examination difficult
F. B. Weeks of the geological survey,
who made a preliminary study of some
of the workings last fall, will begin
field work about the middle of August
and continue ii until the middle of
October or later. The deposits occur
over considerable areas in southwest
ern Idaho, southwestern Wyoming and
northeastern Utah, and prospecting has
been carried on in a number of widely
separated localities. Beds that are of
good grade but too thin to be profit
ably worked have also been discov-
cred in Nevada, and it is probable thai
further explorations will show these
phosphates have a wide distribution.

of his time during the short period which
will intervene between his return &c
