And how some burglars have tried to rob Senator Quay. Ts there no Bpark of honor left in the profession ? Charles Dudley Warver tersely says the difference between "faith cure" and "mind cured" in that tbe mind cure doesn't require any faith, and the faith cure doesn't require any mind. A Honolulu paper says that Minister Stevens amused himself at a public din ner awhile ago, by killing moeonitoee with his hands, and letting them turn ble into the Boup. Misery does love company. Again it iB reported that the Oobden | clnb is near dissolution for the lack of funds to carry on its work. We suspect, that the terrible draw upon its funds to carry elections in thiß country has been the main cause of its decline. TnEnriAN Sullivan, Boston's former artist in black-and-blue, is starring through the extreme east. Down in Maine he finds the town agency whisky ao uneven in alcoholic proportion that bis manager hex hard work to keep him going. It is a dull day when the local police does not deploy about him and ■hoo him into the lockup. Never was the housekeeper so harrl pressed in the way of ueeding good domeßtiCH Bervice as now, if we may credit the eastern newspaper accounts In moßt of the New England ciiiee it is practicably impossibly to keep bottse with auy sort of comfort or security <>f feeling It has been bad enough si ways, but the Chicago demand tor go waiters makes a panic iv the homt market. Tuk calm conduct of the Chinese as to their future fate under the Weary law i' being discussed in the east as one oi thi wonders of the day. Are they simph stolid aud dull—actually without nerves as Borne have declared—or are they philosophers, in whom the doctrine oi Confucious has made to show to tbe world a true example of patience and laith. Boston is at this problem and we •bail know tbe decision soon. It is hard to gut out of ruts. The old time farmer in the west who began by trusting to one staple crop iB Btill at it, thongb he loses half the time. He bar not even learned how to vary his moth ids to the extent of growing his (amil> regetables, milk or any reasonable van )ty of food ior tbeir health and comfort. §o on our cattle ranches they stick to ihe old wayß, living poorly and l.>. im ieavily all the time through the neglec to provide food or shelter for the occa lional starving and freezing time. All through the old south, too, we firid lame sticking to former wayß, ehownig almost as fatal v habit as that of the lamoler who lays his money forever on one color or one combination, because it bae done well by bim once before. The cotton dealers' convention made this year for the third time its appeal to the cotton planters of the south to re duce the cotton acreage, hut the planters this year, as last year and the yenr be fore, have paid no attention to it, and reports from the sontb show that the acreage will be increased instead of di minished. They have been reminded of low i rices, of the competition prevail ing between them and planters in other countries; they have beennrged to raite their own cereals, meat and hay, instead of purchasing them in the northwest, but notwithstanding this the planters keep right on in the old way. Perhaps they think they know their own busi ness better than tbeir counsellors, but the probability is that they keep on be cause they are in the rut and lack the capital, the bains and the versatility to get out. SELF-RESPECTING "HELP." New York haa just had a carious epi sode. One of the great hotels there had a famous cook ; hut the poor man was only getting (7500 a year, and so an envious rival hired him for $10,000. The heads of the two houses do not speak or even nod when they meet, and the occasion has been the talk at the hotel tables all over the city. All this is not only surprieing and more or less amusing to common folk, but it is curiously and deeply inntruc tive. It ought by tbie time to be under stood that all work well and skilfully done is worthy of reward and praise and will command a good place in the world for him who can do it. It is no longer a menial business to make men's or women's clothing The tailor and the male dressmaker are filling an honora ble calling. Once it was the fashion to gibe at them. Once the culinary craft was not followed by men at all, but was held to he a peculiarly and almost dis tinctively womanly calling. But all this ii going by, and the brave disciple of the higher cult of cookery will soon find his place alongside the worker in the other branches of necessary and therefore honorable labor. A thoughtful writer has recently com mented on thie problem this way : "While we have been turning all our educational efforts to the training of the head, we have too far overlooked the close connection betwoen brain and stomach; now as the former develnpn the latter becomes more exacting. Nothing ie more obvioue than the plain and "filling" cookery of the past no longer satisfies ttie average American. But with this knowledge open to ob servation, how is it that a vastly im portant field of industry is left almost wholly unentered by Americans? To be a fine cook ia no longer a matter of mechanical or unintelligible work. Ttie cook of today must be one of delicately strung mental equilibrium; a nicely blended compound of arl'ißt and chem ist. At the best, the profession i- a craft not unworthy the intellect ol the | most self-reßpecfng American." And why not? What, after all, in this practical world, sstab'iPhen the worth of anything, and its importance and plaoe in the world? Is it not large ly the very price it commands? Who Bhall say that the man who makes a great hotel famous as to it- table iB not a man tt> be respected ? Has he not hon ored his calling? Has he not exalted nis office? Who shall laugh at this and ridicule him for doing work that women were supposed to do? Hie place in the world may not be equal to that of the passenger agent of a great railway, or the head of a college, and yet It is not easy to cay exactly how and why. The fact is that we shall never get good "help" in our houses, whatever the classification may be, until work is done in an honorable spirit, with a true sense of its value and at a just price. The days of the "farm band" and of the drudge in the kitchen, who ie also maid of all work, are passing away. Hours oi labor, a better classification of the tbingß to be done, a little time to one'B aelf tor play or profit, and pricee accord ing to individual skill and deserving, must all be taken into account in the plan of reconstruction that is evidently going on. The people most vitally concerned in the running of households, the mis tresses themselves, must give heed to the principles that underlie their difli cnltien, and we suggest that they begin with serious attempts to increase every worker's respect for bis or ber calling, and to disabuse every mind of the teel ing that any intelligent and well paid labor can ever really be menial aud slavish. THE MONEY STRINGENCY. The money strineencv in the east shows itsell clearly to be connected with v wore general tension in the marker than wiib drat supposed. In other word, it is not a local question The lailnrea of banks and commercial con cerns generally over the country, show an unpleasant, and decided ly nnpr nois ing outlook, ('ne cannot see any very good reason lor predicting, or Secretly (earing, any general business crash or depression ; and as vet it IB not unlikely that mouey will be foi a long time in too good demand to admit of the best com mercial conditions. It would seem that the monetary con dition in Kngland is the main cause of our troubles. Not only does Londonj for instance, take few of our securities and give us gold for them, as form erly, but securities already held : there are being sold there to re- I ali/.e on. Everybody felt that I the money bu of England would be easy wtien it was supposed she had set ! tied her S ruth American losses, and this might have been the case. Hut squarely on top of these old affairs, Buch disasters aa lulled the (Wrings and other houses supposed to be impregnable, there came the ciUßiiing blows from Australia—which simply meant the loss of many more milliotiß of British gold We hchev this foreign factor has not been sufficiently taken into account in \m ANGELES TIER A LP. THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 25, 1893. explanation of the New York stock mar ket panic, anil the constant failure of wealt concerns all over tbe countty since. It may well be believed that we have seen the worst of it, though things may pinch for a long time, but it is not good policy to ignore tbe fact that the lend ers nf money this side the Atlantic are very wary, while London has so many borrowers that rates of discount have advanced there much above thoee of any recent period, THE PARIS TRIBUNAL. There seems to be an impression that while the American case before the Ber ing sea court of arbitration is strong on the sentimental side, it is not sure as to the other phase—the doctrine of right. Sir Charles Russell has been making tbe most of this branch of the inquiry, and it must be confessed that he has m de a good showing, judging from the meagre points obtainable. There is no sort of doubt that the slaughter of seals has been fearful and dreadful, as measured by any of tho laws of good manners or morals or the ordi nary rules of propriety. Tbe waste has been excessive and the spirit displayed by tbe poachers reckless and wanton. And yet if we don't own the seals when they stray away from tbe rookeries on their sea trips beyond the shore limits, then we cannot assert absolute property rights in them. It may be contra bono* mores to capture and destroy them, but there is no known tribunal in which a question of manners or morals can be tried. Ho far as the issue made up be tween us and Great Britain, the issue involved in the seizure of vessels outside tbe shore limits is concerned, it becomes, perhaps unfortunately for us, purely a question of rights, and in which the one largely discussed by Mr. Carter of coun sel for the United States may not be held to be a necessary and vital part. The result will be, in any event, the destruction of the present sealing indus try, if tbe case goes against us. We Bhall own the seals eight months in the year becauee on our land, and we had better mAke the most of the chance to realize on them, rather ihan have them fall into other bands when they are on their travels—as Mr. Tracy's article so plainly indicates would be our policy. It ih plain thtt the Sp<tnißh minister at Washington tried his very best to in duce the president to depart from all custom and receive the Infanta Kulalie with certain extra honors, on the ground of the especial prominence of Spain in this Columbian year. It appears that this request, tbat was almost a dam ml, was made and it waa intended th it, if it was refused, the princess wonld not come here from Ciba at ail. VVe are profoundly glad that Mr. Cleveland at once set the matter at rest by sayinij that the etiquette of thb occasion would begin when she came, aud would be in established form. Tim more one looks into the hazing of the young women at Delaware college by their envious sisters, the more fiendish the act seems. It is reported that the fair sufferers not only could not wear low-necked and sleeveless dresßes at the proposed party, but that the nitrate ot silver application left lasting Bears, as well as made blisters. Whatever women may do as to pushing themselves into the pliceß of men, they will not be given the right to bare arms and shoulders if some of the envious Bißters can pre vent it. The Herald In Court. La Progi (m the French journa l ol thie city in its issue today will say: Our esteemed contemporary, the Her ald of this city, will appear the 29th of thie month before the superior court to answer to a suit for danrtges brought by tbe ex-county treasurer, Banbury.

To expiate a par alleled audacity the editors of the Hhkald are summoned before ihecourt, the soi disant libe ed person who, after having Btolenjrom the taxpayers, would not ask anything better than to despoil the editors of tbat paper. When it is considered that the electors of the coun ty have given a magnificent defeat to the said Jabez at the last election.it ia necessary to confess thtU this dried fruit of Pasadena has a sur plus ol gall to try to repair hia character by the money laboriously earned by the proprietors of the Hkhai.d.

SOCIETY Ouj of the most delightful and art istic entertainments given in this city in » long time was that by the ladies of St. Paul's guild in St. Paul's parish hall last Tuesday evening, for the benefit of the free bed in St. Paul's hospital. It consisted of a series of panel pic tures, the state being so arranged in the irontas to represent the gilded moulding Ofa picture frame, and the ladies who formed tbe pictures were towards the center of the stage. The curtain was drawn after the audience had seen each picture, and a new one was then pre sented. There was a large attendance, and everything on the programme wae heartily applauded. The participants, who are all very pretty ordinarily, looked sweeter btill as each one stood in the frame and de murely listened to the miny nice little things whispered about them by the delighted audience. The performance was artistic from beginning to end, a most model and elegant collection of pictures being displayed. A noticeable feature of the iiallery was the absence of any antique w<>rve; nothing but bright, new faces were to be seen. The various young participants posed with fitting grace aud enjoyed the per formance as much as those in front of the stage. In fact, each one wore an un usually bright and healthy color on her cheeks after the performance. The following were the pictures: Wi cb's Daughter, Mis* Norman Robin sin: Indian Woman, Miss Battelle; Al meh. ,be Egyptian Dancing Girl, Miss Robinson; Night, Miss Mamie Miles; Morning Mis* Soriever; Genius of Mu sic, Miss No man Robin«ou; Elaine, Miss ruttle; Hope, Miss B «sic Buebee; •Vunee Bu ning at the Stake, Miss Char lotte Bugbee; The Spring Time of Love, Mrs. Fred Teale and Mr. Will Teale.

AMUSEMENTS Grand Oi'kra Housk. —The an nounced coming of the beautiful Maude Granger in her latest and rnoßt success ful social drama, The Fringe of Society, recalls the enormous success made by tbis play a few years ago when produced under the direction of the author, Alex ander Dumas, at the Odeon theater, in Paris. Many theater-goers might ob ject to the play, fearing that it might be immoral, This is far from the case. True, it is pervaded by a Parisian at mosnhere, but it is anything but vulgar. It teaches the lesson that virtue and vice will receive respectively their re w*rd nnd punishment. From beginning to end the action holds the audience epeil-bound, and it ia with almost a sigh n[ ■ «lief tbat the curtain is wel i i -■' st Ihe «lo=e of an act The Fi. g • ofJSociety will be presented here Wednesday evening, May 31et. Los Angeles Theater.—The full re hearsal of the flower pageant, which opens on Friday night, took place yes terday afternoon and was attended by . all of the 125 participants. Under Mr. Kramer's leadership the various tab leaux, marches and dances were ren dered with a precision that speaks vol umes f r the drill, as well ac revealing the fact thtt there will be some surpris ingly pretty effects introduced in tbe entertainment. The favorite flowers of California, the golden poppies, the sweet scented orange blossoms, the lovely roses, the delicate pansies, pinks aud violets, will all be represented in turn by bands of young girls, costumed appropriately and all taking part in an allegorical story which serves as a groundwork for tbe movement of the pageant. The box office will be open this morn ing for the sale of reserved seats. The concert of the Philharmonic soci -1 etv at ttie Los Angeles theater ou Mon- I day night will virtually be the closing musical event of the eeason, and the in dicati .11- are that a large and fashion able audieuce will be present.. Beetho ven's Fust Symphony will be given m lull lor the first time, and Mr. Slamm's arrangement of Schubert's Erl King will be an interesting feature. Tbe solos of Joseph Rnbo from tbe Magic Flute and tbe Huguenots, and Mr. Lowinski's vio lin solo will also make delightful addi tions. Tbe seats can be reserved on Monday at the Los Angeles theater box office. THB ATHLETIC CLUB. Making Great Preparations for the Next Field Day. As the date for tbe Athletic club field day, next Tuesday, May 30th, ap proaches, interest among the athletes and lovers of sports rises towards fever heat. It is probable that this will prove to be about tbe biggest and best event of the kind ever held in Southern California. One of the features will be the presence of a large number of new men who can be looked upon to make good records. The older men upon the track are also working hard, and ssem determined not to allow themselves to be shoved from the pedestal of fame. Athletic park presents in the after noon a scene of unusual activity. All classes of athletes are represented. The wheelmen seem to be out in larger num bers this year than in previous affairs, and some good riding can be anticipated. Tbe state champion, Mr. D. L. Burke, recently fell and sustained such injuries as to necessitate his retirement from tbe track for tbe season and perhaps perma nently. There are plenty of young men left with ambition, and who are training in full proportion. Among these is L. W. Fox of C ilton, who is looked upon by many as the coming man. He is also a very clever sprinter, and a close finißh is anticipated when he meets Howard and several other of the crack runners. Among the other wheelmen are W. M. Jenkins, W. A. Burke, Phil. Kitchen, T. Q. Hall, H. B. Cromwell and Ruby. Ibe sprinters are training well also. Ed Germain is hard at it, as is Billy Ward. Jim Ryan is running probably as fast as any other man on the grounds. Charley Howard was compelled to lay oil"from training last week, but has about set led down to hard work again. He strained one of tbe tendons in his left leg, and for a while his chances looked a little gloomy for holding bis own in the various races However, he has greatly improved and will be in good form for next Tuesday. The outside towns will also send rep resentatives to compete in many of the events. Long beach will probably send a runner in the person of B. Floyd Hoyt, who has the reputation of being a very clever man. Almost every other department of Athletes will be numbered among the even s. The club programme, which has already been issued, shows a very excellent selection in this respect. BASEBALL GOSSIP. What la Going on Among Devotees or the National Game. The Angels start north today at 2 p. m. and will meet the Pirates at Stock ton Friday afternoon. Their schedule date at Stockton for this series was for this afternoon, bnt by agreement the fwo weeks ago, after the regular game was finished. Mr. Kennedy, secretary of the Los An geles club, accompanies the team on this trip north. It is aoout settled tbat the Los Angeles an i Stockton teams will play in Sacra mento on Decoration day. Arrange ments are now being made to thai end and there is little doubt that they will be perfected. The same may almost be said in re gard to tbe permanent transfer of the Stockton team to the city with the light grip on the capital. It has been an open secret for a long while that the 81ongh city was not holding up her end, and that a change only depended upon a choice of location. In all probability the game played at Sacramento on Dec oration day will be tbe starter of a regu lar series of league games. Jack Roach started east yesterday morning. THE WILD WEST. Arizona Charlie's Shows Makes a De- elded success. Notwithstanding the threatening weather Wednesday afternoon, a large crowd gathered at Athletic park to wit ness the performance of Arizona Charlie's cowboys and Indians. The featß of horsemanship by the cowboys and arrow practice of the Indians were admirable. Arizona Charlie's marks manship with the repeating rifle booked great applauee. I'he show has been aug mented by the addition of several head of colts fresh from tbe range, and they afford greuteportfor the skilled vaqueros t who compose the company. The show continue for the balance of the week. PERSONALS. John P. Treadwell, civil engineer, has returned from a business trip to San Diego and will remain in the city a few days, prior to his return to San Fran cisco. Mrs. W. B. Perkins, wife of the well known railroad man, presented her hus band recently with a bouncing son and heir. Mr. Perkins is now trainmaster at Bakersfield. Wendell Easton, late Republican can didate for mayor of Ban FrancißCO, George Easton and George Lnddington, the famous auctioneer, will arrive today from Stu Francisco, to manage the Wolfskill tract sale which takes place today. S. E. Lucas, the Spring-street jeweler, has returned from a three-weeks' trip to his old home. Charleston, S. C. Sev eral of his relatives came back with him to locate here, and he stateß others will follow on account of bis truthful story of Paradise country.
