PLAY 0iF HIGH ORDER.

5cett starring, as SHOWN Last Night.
Al fine an Interpretation a. has ever
been seen on the local opera house stage,
was witnessed last night in the presen-
tation Of Edward Peple's delightful little
play The Prince Chap. with Cyril Scott
starring. Other capable stars have been
seen here, but none with 50 fortunate
support as was accorded MT. Scott. There
was scarcely weak part ID the whole

Mr.. Scott as soon as the audience got

Next to these two were Charles b. Wells,

Mary Keogh, as ePhebc." sometimes

parts were well taken, the children's
parts certainly We're also, by little Miss
Helen PuumAn az IlaNdlds aged nVe
years, and little Miss Edith Speare AZ
aClandia, aged eight. Their work was
greatly admired. particularly that Of the
latter, who no doubt will be heard from
on the stage later.
These children's part were important
as the play ccntered about them, little

sHAw,s PROSPERITY" SPEECH

Secretary Shaw's explanation d his
prosperity speech" of last Thursday
at a Washington banquet is marked by
great subtlety. He did not, he replies,
give any such advice as Get down on
your knees tonight and pray God to
save this country from its prosperity
What he did say was, I'VE who pray
should ask God to save us from any in
creased prosperity; we have all we
can stand" Whether there is or is not
any difference economic or theological,
between those two pious sentiments, we
imagine that many, even of the secre-
tarys admirers, have already reminded
him to speak for himself in such petit
tions and not for other people. There
are always Jerry Crunchers with an ILL
natured objection to people suspected
of 'prayin agln them" The further ex-
position by Mr.. Shaw that 1--WE are
growing more crops than we can har-
vest, and harvesting more than we can
haul to market" would appear to mean
hint, in the nightly petition, that
little adversely be granted US. Public
prayers in the churches for bad wealth
er at harvest time, for instance. might
carry out the idea effectively.-New
York Evening Post.

BIG DINNER KILLED HIM

Joseph Sheehey. "a. laborer with no
home, walked into the West One Hun
dred and Fourth street station recent
ly and asked to be locked up, saying
he had no employment and was unable
to find any. He had no money and
walked the streets for several days
without anything to eat except what
he could pick up.
He was taken to Harlem court and
committed to the workhouse for six
months by Magistrate Whitman. A
prison keeper, hearing he was hungry,
gave him a big dinner. Suddenly he
fell to the floor, dead. DR.. Ginsburg
said that it was very likely that the
hearty dinner on stomach deranged
by starvation had been the cause of
death.-New York World.

WOMEN DON'T NEED CROWNS

The newest fad i'm certain circles Of
high" society Is the wearing OF tiaras
and coronets by women who seek to
set the fashion in apparel. At first,
these adornments were only seen at
very swagger functions, but OF late they
have been worn freely on lesser occa-
sions. We read of some rivalry among
social leaders in the east as to the
costliness and splendor of these head
pieces. We even hear of one member
of the "smart set" protesting against
other members wearing too many and
too profusely jeweled spikes" in their
coronets 1t Is a harvest for the jewel
ers, because there is practically no limit
to the size or cost of precious stones
that may be displayed in this way.
The fad is borrowed from abroad, of
course. But even in England and on
the continent ii is rare to see ordinary
social leaders usurping the long estab-
lished privilege of duchesses and other
members of the nobility of wearing cor
onets A commoner with crown would
be an anomaly in any country where
monarchical caste rules 1t Is reserved,
apparently, for so-called American so
cial leaders to display singular OBJ
tuseness. In the first place, they seize
upon a custom that is distinctly un-
American and try to weave 1t into the
republics social woof and warp.-Chi-
cago Journal.

WHAT 1HE EYES rrll

Steady, wide-open eyes that are not
afraid to meet yours mean sincerity
and honor.
But the steady, ellnting eyes that look
through half-closed lids at you would
Indicate q cold and suspicious nature.
Beware of the shifting, falterinR ewes
that always look away from YOU.
Small eyes usually mean an alert
mind.
II they look straight out at Won
steady and bright. like q sduirrers,
you may expect the right sort of cIev-
erness, quick tongue and n gift of
repartee.
But II the eyes are more dim and do
not look straight into yours, you may
look for the wrong kind of cleverness,
for little dlshonesties and equivocations
and for business sharpness that Is
willing to. sacrifice too much for a
little money.
Your large, tranquil "cow like" eyes,
on the other hand, are less responsive
than the alert, bright, little beady
eyes, but once stir them to their depths
and they will look infinitely more ins
impulsive eyes.
Round protuding eyes show an am
bilious nature and love OF action.
The longer eyes show more the tenn
permanent Of the dreamer.
The most beautiful eyes In the world
are clear Chat indicates good healthy
ana are set widely apart and rather
deep.
The width OF setting always gives
a certain expression of sweet spirit

OF NATIONAL INTEREST

The coming visit of Mr. Bryan to Los
Angeles promises to be an event of
national interest. This because of in
timations that the distinguished Demo-
cratic leader will outline, in a speech
at the banquet, his ideas respecting the
! platform upon which the party shall
| conduct the next presidential cam
paign.
The public reception to be given Mr..
Bryan in this city will be non-political.
On the evening following that event
the Democratic banquet will occur. at
which time the guest may sound the
keynote of the party in the contest of
next year.
Next year! 1t seems like a sudden re-
minder that the time really is at hand
for advancing the skirmish lines in an
ticipation of the great political bat
tie of 1908. In recent years the ten
dency of the political parties has been
to begin presidential campaigns much
earlier than was customary in former
times. The campaign of 1904, for in
stance, was informally begun on the
Republican side early in the preceding
year. Mr. Roosevelt was the planner
and real leader of that campaign and
he fully appreciated the importance of
an early start in the presidential race.
The Democrats of many states have
formally signified their preference for
Mr. Bryan as the Democratic candi-
date for president in 1908. In general
sense the views of the leader on ques-
tions of public policy are understood by
the party, but the frequent shifting of
conditions leads to the outcrOp of new
issues. Fundamental principles do not
change. The adaptation of principles to
situations, however, calls for constant
Watchfulness and guidance by the
highest craftsmanship.
In view of these circumstances the
coming of Mr.. Bryan to Los Angeles
with the public outgiving that he will
speak at n banquet rendered by his
Democratic friends and admirers, is
arousing political interest throughout
the country. The forthcoming speech
win be the most significant utterance
from him since thy campaign Of 1900
This for the reason that he has sub
stantialy declared his candidacy for
the presidential nomination next year
and his disclosure of views on public
questions now will be likely to shape
the next Democratic platform.
Los Angeles viii be the focus Of ma
tioual attention, therefore, when Mr..
Bryan appears here in the last week
of this month. Every word that he
uttors ON questions of public policy will
bc transmitted abroad and "Bryau's
Los Angeles speech win be- discussed
iu all political circles from the Pacific
10 the Atlantic shore.

DoEsN'TAeREE WITH DIR. JORDAN

| Los ANGELES. Jan. 15.-tEditor
Herald: 1 notice your report in to-
days Herald of Or. Jordan's address
Sunday evening in San Francisco on
the "Asiatic Problem" to an assembly
of Socialists.
DR.. Jordan said: 1--WE don't care a
straw what nation our friends come
from"
What presumption to assume to
speak for the people of the Pacific
coast, let alone the people of the United
States, And what hypocrisy to pretend
the Japanese or any other heather race
are the friends of a Christian people or,
if not hypocrisy, then ignorance to
think that such could be the case. The
simple fact that their religion is pagan,
with a different moral law, makes them
incompatible and incapable of being
friends. Any educated person should
know this or his education in that
direction is not yet completed.
And how dare he say that no con-
gress would pass a Japanese exclusion
act and that no president would sign
it, because it would be a hoodlum act?
Was not the Chinese exclusion act
passed by congress and signed by the
president and was it a hoodlum act?
Is DR.. Jordan aware that the class of
Japanese now in California are just
as detrimental to the best interests
of the people living here as the Chi
nese? If he is not it is because he, Ike
many other men occupying similar po-
sitions, is not posted.
But could we expect DR.. Jordan to
express any other opinion while hold
ing the position he does with Stanford
university? How long is it since other
professors We're dropped by the univer-
sity for expressing opinions in regard
to Chinese exclusion and labor, which
were not in accord with Dr. Jordan's
views? And why? Because it reflected
on the founder of the university, who
was largely instrumental in bringing
the first Chinese coolies to the coast
to help build the Central Pacific rail-
road at $1.25 per day. So we can read
lily see what DR.. Jordan's opinion
amounts to. And if the Japanese gov
ernment is sincere in it's professions to
be willing to keep its undesirable ele-
ment at home, why doesn't it do so
instead of Shipping them by shiploads
to Hawaii? AMERICAN.

ABOUT THAT GRAPE BAND

1t is astonishing how many persons,
both men and women. who give every
other indication of culture and re-
tinement. are seen on the streets now
adays wearing Grape bands on their
coat sleeves. This form of mourning
was originally a military one, the
British officers cap, with its rldcu-
lously low crown, not admitting of a
band. When he boasted a decoration
the medal also was covered with crepe.
From the military the sleeve band
descended to the coachman and foot
man, and has long been tlr recognized
servants mourning when there was a
death in the masters family. Then
the costermongers adopted it because
1t was cheap, When one of 'Arry's
friends dies the purchase II a black
coat is out of the question, so he puts
the band of crepe around the sleeve
of his old coat and let's 1t 70 at that.
The man who unwittingly adopts this
custom is first cousin to the parvenu
who invests in coat of arms and picks
out one with bar sinister because he
thinks it looks just the thing-New
York Mail.
