DEMOCRATIC MAGAZINE
BRIGHT AND SPARKLING
Randall Sparks, Formerly OF Texas
Begins Publication OF Monthly
journal In Los
Angeles

1.-THE Office Swirl" a Democratic
monthly magazine published In Los
Angeles and edited by Randall Sparks
has Just made it's appearance and con,
tains a number of we'll illustrated ano
interesting articles on political topics
and subjects of lighter vein.
Several good poems are also fea-
tire of the magazine. The two arti-
cles of political interest are those writ
ten by the editor and entitled "Roose-
welt is a Sport" and ibid Bill Tar
Tear His Pants?" An interesting artl-
Gle is that written by Mercelle Sparks
comparing the English and ParlslaI
methods of bathing to those of Amer
ica showing the severe restrictions OF
the former as to the division of the
sexes.
A rather pathetic story is that OF
"The Lonesomest Man in the World,
by the clubman, wildly describing the
man who, without kith. kin or friends
feverishly rushes from one place OF
amusement to another in vain search
of something worth While.
special feature of the magazine
is a short, but strong article by II. w
Minis entitled Truth Versus Fact,
bringing out the beauty and infinite
ness of truth and the narrowness OF
fact, which always tends to blight
truth. using as an illustration the wit
ness who is willing to tell the truth
which he swears to, but becomes sc
confused by fact that he loses all trace
of truth.
The editor of the new magazine, Ran
dali Sparks, is a prominent Texan, al
attorney, and always staunch adj
herent of the principles of the Demo
cratic party.

The Theaters

INFECT information received last
night from New York will serve
- to set at rest the many rumors
now in circulation regarding the fu-
ture policy of the Grand opera house.
The Grand is to be devoted to stock
burlesque. The house will close Satur-
day night and will remain closed until
the last week in June. when it will re-
open with a big burlesque company,
under the direction of BILLY" Lytell.
Whether Murray and Mack will be
members of this company is not stated.
Lytell will organize his company In
New York. He has signed with the
Orpheum company for one year and the
shows he will put on will follow, closely
the style of entertainment given in the
Wheel burlesque houses of the east
and middle west. Contracts were made
by Clarence Drown in New York city.
In a way the Lytell engagement is
designed as an experiment. If the
burlesques go-if the venture proves a
financial succesS--a Wheel Will be
established on the Pacific coast. Mean
time we are to have the wheel shows
presented in stock by man who has
written and produced many of these
same shows in eastern theaters.
1t is promised that the company will
include several players well and IA
vorably known in the east and that
the chorus will be modelled after New
York patterns.
Frederick Belasco arrived in Los An
gAes yesterday from San Francisco
and will be here probably for about a
month.
IN had to come" he explained last
night. For three weeks now l have
been writing and wiring instructions
to John Blackwood to stop the run of
The Girl of the Golden West He
wouldn't do it, and so I came down
here TO take the piece off myself.
1--WE are going to play The Chris
tan next week, and personally I want
to make a prediction. I want to say
that Los Angeles never has seen SC
fine p erformance of Glory Quayle as
Miss HUNT will give. l know, because
she played the part for me at the AL
caZar theater, San Francisco, five years
ago. and they are talking about it up
there yet.
AFTER The Christian am going to
stage The Wife which opened this
house, and after that probably, THE
Rose of the Rancho This run of The
Girl of the Golden West has been
phenomenal. We didn't anticipate it,
and consequently it necessitated nu-
merous changes in our plans regarding
plays. l am making due allowance for
the next Belasco play, however. If
Los Angeles wants to keep The Rose
of the Rancho on for two months /
won't have a word of objection to Of
fer. The Girl ran only a fortnight in
San Francisco. The Alcazar company
is playing The Rose of the Rancho
there now"
All records for quick carpenter work

when the work of tearing out an old
stage floor and laying a new double
floor in its place was accomplished in
just thirteen hours. The contractor

ORIENTAL GARMENT
is VALUED AT $4,000
EDYTHE CHAPMAN NELL HAS
REMARKABLE COAT
Secured Treasure During Journey
Through the Orient and She Con-
siders It Brings Her Good
Fortune

There have been Mandarin coats IN
Los Angeles since the craze for the
oriental affair first began some two
years ago, but it remained for Edythe
Chapman Neill, now appearing at the
Burbank theater in 1.-The Hypocrites'
to really produce one of these remark
able and exceedingly rare specimens
of the real royal Mandarin coats.
The Mandarin is associated only with
ROYALTY in China and a coat OF TINS
kind remains in the family for genera
lions or until every member OF the
family is extinct, and in addltlon 10
this there is an unwritten law that one
of them must never leave the lana Oh
the lotus blossom.
Miss Chapman secured her coat, sne
will not tell how, on an oriental tour
several years ago and prizes 1t above
all her possessions the most. Inc
garment weighs some thirty POUNDS, Is
of the finest and heaviest emma SILK
of a rich blue hue and is trimmed Win
the exclusive five-claw dragon, seVerdi
hundred of them of various sizes from
two feet in length to as many inches.
These dragons are worked IN the
finest gold bullion thread and border
several inches wide of this precious
thread encircles the entire garment
The coat is lined with Chinese yelloW
plush and the buttons are carved out
of Jumps of gold and shaped in the
form of dragons.
When Miss Chapman was asked to
give her opinion as to the real value
of the creation she hesitated. 1t is
so valuable that every night immedi-
atelv after the scene in which l use
the coat is completed a trusted mes
senger takes it to safe deposit vault
at the hotel, and if anyone asks you
what | would take for it just you say
$4,000"
Miss Chapman regards the coat as
a mascot, and while the opportunity
for wearing it comes but seldom still
she is never without 1t, no matter
where her journeys may take her.

CONFERENCE ASKED
Smith of Geological Survey De-
SireS to Meet Railroad
Officials.
PLANS FOR SAVING MONEY,

Washington, d. c., Oct. 17.-Director
George Otis Smith, OF the United States
Geological Survey, has invited officers
of the leading railroads of the country
to a conference on a cooperative plan
by which it is expected tho railroads
will be able to save thousands of dol
lars a year. The plan also contem-
plates most effective assistance to the
government on the part of railroads
The time and place of the proposed
conference is to be agreed on later.
The scheme, which has already been
approved by a number of the engineers
of the big lines. is one for the gather
ing of facts as to the amount of water
flowing In the rivers of the country I'M
der certain conditions and in different
periods of the year. Naturally, the
railroads have been chief sufferers
from floods in the basins where their
tracks lie. They have suffered not
only from damage to their own prop
erty but they have been sued by other
corporations and private citizens on
the ground that their bridges and Gull
verts were the causes of flood damage.
The railroad authorities have felt that
many judgments againct the roads
might not have been rec dered if they
had been able to produce authentic
figures on floods. But they have not
been able to do this. The national
conservation commission has been ad-
vised of the proposed plan end what
ever results come from 1t will undoubt-
eddy be considered by the commission
at it's joint meeting with the governors
of the states. or their representatives
here next December.

Republicans Can Safely Pre-
dict a Large Majority
For Their Party.
SPLENDID REC EPTIONS
SPEAKERS APPEARING OVER THE
COUNTY ARE ARoUSlNG MUCH
ENTHUSIASM AS WAS DEMON
STRkTED AT ABINGDON.

The contented smiles all the mem
bers of the republican county central
committee are wearing, are caused by
the splendid receptions being accord
ed to all republican speakers in every
section of the county. During the ear
ly part of the campaign general apa
thy reigned among the voters of the
county, no one appearing to take any
interest in politics, bat now the voters
are wide awake to the great import
an1e of the November elections and
old WAYNE, which had been counted
as "doubtful, is again showing that
it is one Of the republican strongholds
of the state. Republican leaders can
once again trUthfully predict that
Wayne county will return handsome
majorities for Taft, Watson and Bar
nard.
One of the most gratifying events
of the compalgn, to the minds of the
republican leaders, was the splendid
reception accorded to Samuel H.
tIoOucl. QSDuty oultSu oIdIeS
Attorney, on his appearance in Abing-
ton, which has always supposed to be
one of the strongest democratic
strCngholds in the county.
He was accompanied there by A. M.
Gardner and p. J. Freeman and they
state. on their arrival it appeared as
though the entire town had turned out
to greet them. The hall where Mr..
Spooner spoke was congested and dur
ing the hour and a half he spoke on
rational and state issues he was time
md again Interrupted with the most
enthns astic applause. So unlocked
: r was this hearty reception that the
local politicians present were absolu.
tely dazed. The Centerville Glee Guh
sang several republic can songs and
these We're applauded as warmly as
were Mr.. Spooner's remarks. Mr.
Freeman presided at the meeting.
In every country district in the
county where republican speakers
have delivered addresses this fall they
have been received with the greatest
| enthusiasm and it is an assured fact
that the out townships are solidly fol
the republican ticket.
