IT WAS JEALOUSY.
The Cause of Avak's Deed
Revealed.
Hazel Layton Had Prosecuted a
Man for Theft,
But It Was Not Her Ardent Armenian
Lover.
Coroner Weldon Holda an Inquest—Tes
timony of the Witnesses—The Ar
menian's Pet Quotation.
Hazel's Past Life.
Coroner Weldon at 2 o'clock yesterday
afternoon held an inquest in the murder
suicide case of Henry Avak and Hazel
Layton. The testimony of the witnesses
heard was in substance aa follows :
C. Bruen, tailor, room 84, Wilson
block —I knew Avakian or Avak in Ven
tura over a year ago. He worked in the
same shop with me for about a week.
He waa an American, and at the time of
hia death waa about 24 years old. He
came to see me yesterday at about 1
o'clock. I asked him where he came
from. He said he had just come from
San Francisco. He showed me a photo
graph of a girl (the same afterward
found on the body), and said if he found
the lady he was going to shoot her. I
did not ask him why, and he gave no
reason. He did not even say she was
here. He gave me a book, a love story,
and went away. Avak never drank
liquor nor smoked, but had a habit of
going to houses of ill-fame. He was a
steady workman, and I never knew him
to live aa a "mac," or to gamble.
The book referrced to in Bruen'a
testimony waa the novel, A Mad
Love, by Bertha M. Clay. A Herald
reporter looked through the volume and
found that Avak had marked a number
of passages, and altered others. Among
the marked passages were these:
"They found her cold and senseless on
the ground."
"Love never exists without some tinge
of jealobsy."
"And then it seemed to her that her
brain took fire and she went mad."
"A mad love—a mad love! Bat the
mill will never grind again with the
waters that are past."
"Do you believe that marriages are
known in Heaven," waß amended by the
substitution of "Hell" for "Heaven."
"You will find out the way" was
changed by the striking ont of "the
way," and the substitution of tbe words
"if you fool me."
Another underscored passage read:
"My darling,you need not think of ven
geance."
August Beyer, 260 Wilmington street;
M. P. Larsen, 1038 Denver avenue, and
several other witnesses, all ' tailors
working in the Wilson-block shop,
also testified to seeing Avak
in tbe shop yesterday, and to
hearing his threats. Beyer added tbe
information that Avalr bad been rtt Los
Angelea before. He came here from
Ventura for a few days a year ago laat
August.
Charles A. Heldrick, 824 South Main
street, construction foremen of the Con
solidated Electric company—l was work
ing with my man at a forge putting in a
curve on North Main atreet at about 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. I heard a
woman scream, and cut across lots to
Marchessault atreet. I ran by the en
trance to Ethel Wilson's house, and
before me, at the corner, 1 saw a woman
lying on the ground, with two or three
persons standing over her. I got very
near her, when I heard a woman say,
"She's shot." I went back to the door
and looked up the sairs. A woman stood
at the head of the staircase, wringing
her bands and saying "He's up here
yet." I called to a Mexican across the
street to help me catch the murderer,
but just aa we started upstairs the
woman above said, "He's dead." I
then went back to work.
Miss Ethel Wilson, New High and
Marchessault street — Hazel Layton
came to my house February 9tb. She
was about 21 years old and came from
Chicago. I had known her in Salt Lake
City. When I was in San Francisco,
early in February, she was living at the
General Keyes building on Stockton
street. When I saw her I asked her to
come down here and stop at my house.
She said she could not, as she had had
a fellow arrested. She had been living
with him and had given him $400 to de
posit for ber. He took it and dep sited
it in hia own name. When she found
out about this she took him to task and
wanted him to bave it changed to her
account. He then drew the money and
refused to give is up. At last she pre
vailed upon him to buy her a pair of dia
mond ear-rings and a diamond ring with
the principal part of the money. Sev
eral days after she had received the
jewelry however, the man called on her
while she was dressing, took the ring
from the wasbstand and ran out witb it.
She followed him and had him arrested.
Then he threatened to kill her. After
hearing this story, I told her not to
worry about it, but that I would get a
lawyer down here to attend to it for
her.
The rest of Miss Wilson's testimony
described tbe manner of Hazel's terribfe
death, and was precisely in accordance
with the story as published in the Heb
alo yesterday. It would appear from
this, assuming that Hazel referred to
Avak, that Avak was committed for
stealing the ring, but that on account of
the absence of Hazel at the examina
tion, he had to be discharged; that he
then immediately went on his trip of
vengeance. There can be no doubt but
that jealousy had a great deal to do with
the case, for, from an outside source, it
was learned yesterday that a member of
the La Blanche combination of pugilists
had been seen with her in San Francisco
and had come down here with her on
the aame train.
Dottie Wentworth, another inmate of
the Wileon houae, corroborated the story
of Hazel's death as told by Ethel Wil
son.
Officer J. G. Goodman testified to his
hearing the scream, to being called by
Miss Wilson, to breaking open the door
and finding Avak's body. He also iden
tified the two pistols which the murderer
had used.
Mrs. Revara, who saw the girl come
out of the window and fall to the walk,
said in her testimony, that Hazel bad
opened the window and climbed out.
She then clutched the sill for a moment,
sunk to ber knees, and began crawling
backward to New High street on tbe
awning, with ber eyes distended witb
terror, still fixed on the window. Blood
waa gushing from ber month and chest,
and the tried instinctively to stanch the
reached the edge of the awning she
attempted to turn and look over the
edge of it, lost her balance and fell
headforemost to tbe ground, striking
with her face on -the curb-stone.
Dr. James A. Choate, 403)1 North
Main street —I held a post mortem on
the body of Hazel Layton. I found a
punctured wound in the left breast, ap
parently a bullet bole. The bullet had
entered at the junction of the third rib
with the cartilage of the breast bone. It
penetrated the right border of the upper
lobe of the left lung, paased downward
and to the right, went through the left
auricle of the heart, struck the spine,
glancing off, passed through the upper
lobe of the right lung and lodged in the
pleura back of the right lung. The
wound would have killed the average
person in a minute or less. The case is re
markable, for she lived about ten minutes
after sustaining these injuries. I also
examined Avak'a body. It showed no
external signs of violence except a
punctured wound on tbe right side of
the head. The bullet had entered the
mastoid process about an inch and a
half back of the right ear. The ball
ranged upward into the brain. The
parts around the wound were very much
powder burned.
Several other witnesses were ex
amined, but .lothing of material inter
est waa developed until a lawyer named
C. Z. Peck waa sworn. The object ol
calling him was to determine whether
the man who had Btolen the ring from
Hazel in San Francisco was really Avak.
Mr. Peck's testimony was startling, in
asmuch as he stated tbat Hazel had con
sulted him about tho San Francisco
case. She had told him of the trouble
about the $400 and the diamonds,
and had given the name of the
man who had robbed her as H. C.
Young. Mr. Peck afterwards wired to
San Francisco, and received a reply an
nouncing that a man named H. C.
Young is now in jail in default of $2000
bail for stealing tbe ring, awaiting trial
in the superior court.
This seems conclusively to clear the
character of Avak of all suspicion, ex
cept that he was madly and jealously in
love with Hazel.
The caae now went to the jury, and a
verdict was rendered in accordance with
the facts of the killing.
SANTA BARBARA.
AN ENJOYABLE ENTERTAINMENT
FOR THE KINDERGARTEN.
A Successful Performance—Features of
the Programme and.Those;Who Partici
pated—News Notes.
Speclßl Correspondence to the Herald. |
Santa Barbara, March 2.
An entertainment waß given at the
opera house last night by the ladies of
Strata Barbara, for tbe benefit of the
local kindergarten, which would do
credit to the firat class of professionals.
Tbe weather was moat unfavorable, yet
tbe house was well filled, bespeaking
our citizens' great charitable disposition
toward home talent and home charity.
Tbe entertainment was entirely of tab
leaux, representing pictures by the
greatest authors, and was under the
personal supervision and management
of Mrs. F. H. Wheelan. To Mrs. Whee
lan too much credit cannot be given.
The participants are also worthy of
great credit. Every feature was enjoy
able, and there was not a hitch from
start to finish. Some of the costumes
were exceedingly fine—indeed, they
were elegant.
Carl Stoddard and Miss Colt repre
sented the famous painting, The Ange
lus, by Millet. The scene was very
pretty, and was greatly applauded.
Butin's For Men Must Work and
Women Must Weep, was next presented
by Misa Eaton. The scene showed a
ship far out at sea, with the fisherman's
wife gazing intently from the shore.
By her side a little child stood upon a
huge coil of rope. This was greatly ap
preciated.
Next followed Mrs. W. W. Hollister as
The Witch's Daughter. The Bcene was
bewitching, and did- great credit to
Church's masterpiece.
A Pair of Pears, or You Dirty Boy,was
next given by Miss De Laney and Master
S. Gaty. The scene was true to life, and
elicited much laughter.
J. W. Taggart represented a monk in
meditation admirably.
Miss Gilman was next seen "stealing
a kiss" from the bust of Miss M. Smith,
true to the picture of tbe famous painter,
De Beaumont.
Mrs. George Edwards next appeared
in Jacob's famous picture, Comme
Madame, followed by Mies Randall in
Ricci's The Love Letter.
Miss Duramus was then shown in Tbe
Studies of a Japanese Girl. This scene
was indeed lovely.
The Misses Dibblee followed in a
scene in Spain. The beauty of these
young ladies made this one of the pret
tiest productions of the evening.
Derving's Prelude by Miss F. Fernald
and Mrs. Sidebothem waa next beauti
fully produced.
The entertainment concluded with
Miss Doegg in The Maid's Choice. This
little lady was all that the great artist
Pyle himself could bave wished. Her
part was enthusiastically received.
The scenery painting for the occasion
was almost entirely tbe work of Mrs.
Wheelan and was very creditable.
NOTES.
A special containing forty to fifty ex
cursionists is expected in tonight or to
morrow noon.
A bad Mongolian waa arrested last
nigbt by Officer Grandona for carrying
an iiL'ly looking dagger in his blouse and
threatening to use it.
Yesterday was a very wet day for
Santa Barbara. Nearly two inches of
rain fell, rendering the streets very
muddy. Today is cloudy and threaten
ing.
C. C. Wheeler of the Arlington, who
so seriously injured his leg yesterday by
falling on the porch of his residence, ts
doing as well as could be expected. The
bone ci his left limb was fractured in
two places above the knee. Mr.
Wheeler is troubled with kidney com
plaint, and thia fact renders his injury
very painful.

TIIE LOS HERALD THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH F, i 892
THE ORANGE SHOW
A Great Display Opened Last
Night.
The Citrus Fair Opened Most
Auspiciously.
Crowds of People Enjoy the Opening
Ceremonies.
The Addresses of Oovernor Markham
and Hon S. !tt. White-Features
of the Great Display—Some
of the Exhibits.
Amid the sweet acclaim of musical
concords, the air laden with the sen
suous perfume of a myriad fragrant
flowers and environed by charming
vistas of poly-chromatic loveliness, whose
golden tints were softened and subdued
by the living hues of tropic foliage, the
aona and daughters of the fair southern
land of California gathered laat night by
thousands at the citrus fair to do honor
to a gracious nature, whose sunny
smiles and potential tears had caused
this chosen soil to give forth a bounteous
harvest.
As of old in classic days Jason and tbe
Argonaut band sought the golden fleece
—so has it been found in this heaven
favored soil —once in great, glittering
heaps of yellow gold, today in orbs of
aunny splendor that draw here the
multifarious entourage of commerce, not
the argosiea of the purple twilight, but
the practical agencies that breed sub
stance and wealth.
In times past this prosperous com
munity has spread out its richest offer
ings to grace the citrus fete, but
the picture of loveliness and variety
preaented last evening was one tbat
transcends all that has gone before. It
was the crucial proof of progress, by the
beat testimony—a magnificent present
ment of the progress and energy of the
citrua fruit growers of Southern Califor
nia.
The picture presented to the eye from
the gallery of Hazard'H pavilion last
evening when the third Southern Cali
fornia citrus fair was formally declared
opened was one invested with all the
splendor of a vision of a tropical morn.
Minarets and pagodaß, quaintly con
ceived grottos, frowning battlements,
Brobdignaggian representations of or
anges and lemons, and fantastically
fashioned designs worked out in golden
and yellow fruit, all combined to make
a scene at once striking and typical of
Southern California. The ceiling bad
been entirely concealed with masses of
green foliage flecked with orange blos
soms and chrysanthemums, and the stage
was curtained with trailing ivy and
evergreen. Here and there in lavish
profusion bending palms and other
tropical plants abounded, while imme
diately on entering the auditorium au
enormous orange and lemon built up of
the fruit named attract the attention.
Then the superb- display ol Santa Bar
bara county, of oranges and lemons and
olives and dates, enchains the attention.
Further along ia a pagoda with a splen
did crown, made of oranges and lemons,
and then on the left hand one sees the
offering of San Diego in the present
ment of a fortress above which waves
the flag of tbe baynclimate section.
The fortress is built of the golden fruit,
and through the embrasures the black
mouths of cannon peep forth.
Riverside is brilliantly represented by
a monster lemon, at the base of which
ia spread a magnificent display of the
finest varieties of navel oranges and
lemons.
A beautifully conceived model of the
proposed high school union depot at
Redlands is another design worked out
in the finest grades of citrus fruit, that
at once attracts and pleasantly holds the
attention ot all visitors. Another quaint
idea worked out in lemons and oranges
is a representation of the famous kite
shaped track. This comes from Rialto.
Orange county is appropriately repre
sented by a pyramid of oranges sur
mounted by an enormous orange, mod
eled of the choicest and most succulent
specimens of citrus fruit.
On entering the hall, the eye is at
once attracted to the image of a fair and
radiant maiden emerging from an
orange grove, the crowning glory of the
ladies' annex. A birchen bark laden with
selected citrus fruit is also another dis
tinctive feature of this exhibit.
Colton comes in also with a remarka
bly fine display, consisting of a vast
plain of navel oranges and the finest
grades of lemons. A pun on the name
Colton Terrace is deftly made by plac
ing the figured representation of an ad
olescent horse standing etridant on a
terrace.
The exhibit from Ontario is likewise
a remarkably fine one as to the quality
of the fruit exhibited.
Duarte looms up into prominence in
letters four feet long, fashioned of
oranges of superior grade. In fact it
would take unlimited space to describe
tbe excellences of the different exhibits
in detail. Looking over all of them,
however, it is evident that the
steadily increasing citrus crop of South
ern California is not a transitory ob
vention, but a certain yearly result
that can be reliably depended on, de
spite rare windstorms or more than
ordinarily bracing temperatures.
At 8:30 o'clock President C. M. Wells
of tbe chamber of commerce ascended
the stage, and in a few fitting words in
troduced Governor Markham, to whom
was assigned the duty of formally open
ing the fair.
-TUB GOVERNOR'S SPEECH.
Governor Markham said:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow
Citizens:
I desire to thank you for the honor
you have conferred upon me in inviting
me to be present with you thia evening
and assist in the opening exercises. It
is a double pleasure, for it affords me an
opportunity of meeting many of my old
neighbors and frienda, and also the
pleasure of enjoying with you this mag
nificent display of the products of
Southern California.
The pleasure which I alwayß experi
ence in greeting my old neighbors and
friends is greatly enhanced on account
of the length of time since I have met
you.
For the last year or two it has been
my privilege to visit almost every im
portant subdivision of tbie great Btate,
which affords me the opportunity of
studying the resources and natural prod
ucts of crar soil most thoroughly.
As tbe result of my travels I am more
than ever thankful tbat I am a Califor
nian, enthusiastic over what has been
accomplished in the past and sanguine
aa to the future. What has been accom
plished in this portion oi the state since
The Official Report of Gen, Hurst,
Ohio Food Commissioner, shows
ROYAL the purest Baking Powder,
• Every other Baking Powder
tested contained impurities —
from io.iB per cent, to 86,23
per cent, of their entire weight.
I came here iB simply marvelous. There
were then but very few bearing orange
groves, and it was considered a grave
queation whether citrua fruits could be
produced in sufficient quantities to at
tract the attention of people and capital
to this portion of the state, whereby this
great industry might be placed upon a
paying basis.
At that time we had no permanent
market in the east for our oranges, be
cause their reputation did not compare
favorably with the loreign or Florida
product; the cost of transportation was
prohibitive; the time consumed in
shipping was three times the present
schedule, causing many and extraordi
nary riskH to the shipper; fruit cars
we*-e poorly arranged, and our knowl
edge of planting and caring for the
trees, of picking, sorting and packing
the fruit, was very crude. It had taken
time, money and patience to remedy
these defects. Immense outlays of
money and labor were required in the
development of water for irrigating pur
poses, and in almost every locality legal
controversies, bitterly contested, added
to the fruit-grower's cares and anxieties.
But the intelligence and industry of
the peopie have surmounted all difficul
ties, and in citrus fruit culture we are
now far beyond the experimental sta
tion.
Those of you who are today surround
ed with refinement, luxury and plenty,
who have escaped all that was disagree
able and unpleasant, should be thank
tul for the sublime faith that actuated
the pioneers in thia work.
The early settlers who witnessed these
things, as well as you who have come
amongst us more recently, see tonight
the results of the well directed efforts
of those who have labored so faithfully
in the development of the horticultural
interests in thia portion of the state.
You certainly have a right to feel
proud of thia exhibit, for no one can be
so dull of comprehension, so devoid of
feeling that he cannot appreciate this
beautiful display.
I note with pleasure the marked im
provement you bave made in the style
of your exhibits. This ia perhaps to me
more marked than to you, because it
has been some time since I have at
tended one of your exhibitions. lam
also much pleased to see such a variety
of products, representing every section
of tbis part of the state, and to note the
harmony that prevails amongst you.
It is gratifying to know that citrus-fruit
culture is an industry of such magni
tude in this state that it at
tracts the attention of the whole
\vorld, and that by your united, persis
tent and intelligent action, you have
insured financial success.
Through your united efforts the de
mand for California oranges is in
creasing, and will continue to increase
so long as care is taken in shipping
only marketable fruit at reasonable
prices. Knowing what has been accom
plished in this industry during the last
fifteen years, can any one predict, even
to a Californian, what possibilities are
in store for us during the next fifteen
years ? At the present time the total
production from these industries, to
gether with that from deciduous fruits,
the raisin and other vine products,
amounts to the enormous sum of nearly
$30,000,000, giving employment to thou
sands of people and adding greatly to
the wealth of the state.
But we must not lose sight of the fact,
that while we are increasing the pro
duction of citrus fruits so rapidly, we
must likewise see to it that the demand
for them in the east ia correspondingly
increased. This can only be done by
convincing the people of the east that
our fruit, when in perfection, ia the
superior of either the Mediterranean or
the Florida, which we know to be true.
You who attended the New Orleans
exposition had an excellent opportunity
of comparing our fruits with those from
other sections. No one could dispute
our right to the highest premium
awarded, which we then received. I
believe with many of you that our
prosperity in this industry dates from
that time; and we all know that our
progress since then haa been one grand,
triumphant march.
- This exhibition, the one exhibited in
California on Wheels, and those that
have been made at Chicago and other
places, have attracted thousands to this
Btate in search of profitable invest
ments, until California stands today as
the leading fruit-growing Btate in the
union.
In this connection, I desire to urge
upon you the importance of the citrus
exhibit at tbe world's fair. Tbis exhi
bition I am sure will be viewed by every
visitor, and I trust tbat every effort will
be put iorth to make it a success, a
credit to the state and aa honor to the
whole nation.
When I recall the beautifully arranged
citrus fair at Marysville last year, and
when I ace what you have done here
this year, I am confident that our exhi
bition in Chicago will be unsurpassed.
Our state is capable of accommodating
at least 5,000,000 of people, while at
present our population is only 1,250,000;
and I know of no means of advertising
so successfully our resources and capa
bilities as a tine exhibit at Chicago.
Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you
for your kind attention, and wish you
all the success your industry, ability and
talent so richly merit.
Mr. Wells then said: It is not neces
sary in this community to make any
preliminary remarks in presenting to
you our fellow townsman, Hon. Stephen
M. White.
HON. 8. M. WHITE'S ADDRESS.
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men: When I was requested to Bay a
few words here, I stated to the committee
waiting upon me that I did not think
that a citrus fair was a very good place
at which to attempt to make an extended
speech. The people come to such places
as this for the purpose of viewing the
exhibition, not to listen to anybody's
remarks, and no speaker should expect
to be able to command the undivided at
tention of an audience scattered through
out such a large building, and in close
proximity to co many attractive local
surroundings. Therefore, I shall say
but a few words.
I do not think that it ia necessary to
call your attention to the magnificence
of your surroundings ; that you can see
for yourselves. These beautiful realiza
tions apparent about us tonight need no
encomiums. It is not necessary in
flowery phrase or with appropriate
gesture to call attention-to that which
appeals at once to our sight.
Ladies and gentlemen, as has been
well said by the distinguished gentle
man, the governor of this state, who has
already addressed you, this display pos
aessea a business interest. It a tests the
fact that men have been at work with
intelligence and capability, with brains,
and with that which money alone can
not give—that undivided co-operative
effort directed in these channels where
success is possible.
Think of an industry, which, during
the last Beason, poured into the coffers
of this portion of the state perhaps two
millions and a quarter of dollars! That
is more than sentiment. That means
prosperity. Such a result, ii significant
of more splendid things to come.
In a portion of this state, especially I
believe in San Bernardino county, there
have been planted within the last season
fifty per cent of all the orange trees now
in that productive portion of our state.
What are the possibilities of thia in
creased production if today we are able
to furnish a crop which will yield ua
more than two millions of dollars? Is it
painting in roeeate colors to say that in
live or six years ten or twelve millions
of dollars will be our annual portion?
This is not sentiment, though it is im
possible to take from it the things that
appeal to the imagination and which
suggest to us something beyond mere
materiality.
But, at that same time, there is per
haps no section of thia great union that
will yield such a magnificent crop, such
a production in money results. As has
also been well remarked by Governor
Markham, we owe a duty to ourselves as
well as to others. No man who thinks
anything of himself or of his commu
nity, or of the orange industry, can
afford to send to foreign markets, or
even sell upon our streets, anything but
the best fruit. The man who will eend
to Chicago or New York, or elsewhere,
an orange that has been frozen or
blighted ought to be condemned to eat
straw the rest of his life. [Applause.]
We know that even one box of inferior
fruit, placed in a market where there
are critical hands to handle it and criti
cal palates to taste it will do an injury
that cannot be compensated for by
any talk, by any newspaper article, by
any protest or pretense at all. Now, we
have an organization in this portion of
California, we have an organization in
the state, that has its representative
here, formed for the very purpose of
enabling producers of citrns fruit, as
well as producers of other fruits, to pro
tect themselves and the community, and
they are doing so. We find the benefit
of their labors all around us. We see
evidences of it in the increased produc
tion and in the better quality of our fruit.
Fellow-citizens—for I appeal espe
cially to those who have charge of our
public affairs —let us see to it that we
protect our industries and guard them
with all that care which well-enforced
regulations will bring about. Let us see
that the dishonest man who attempts to
palm off something tbat is not what
it ia represented to be is properly labeled
bimaelf and made a person known in
the public market. This we owe to our
selves ; we owe it to our state; we owe
it to the people with whom we deal.
Now, fellow citizens, ladies and gentle
men, I am not here for the purpose of
delivering a lecture upon our public or
private duty. I was simply requested
to say a few worda regarding thia citrus
fruit induatry. I thought proper, how
ever, to throw in these few suggestions
as being worthy of yonr consideration,
and as perhaps calling to your mind the
necessity for exertion in the line which
I have indicated.
I will conclude by saying thia: The
orange grower, the citrus frnit producer
of Southern California has reason to re
joice tonight. He has met obstacles
great indeed; he has surmounted them;
he has met them witb that energy for
which he bas become remarkable. [Ap
plause.] He has placed in this hall to
night perhaps the most beautiful dis
play of the kind that has ever been ex
posed to the gaze of any people within
the bounds of the United States, This,
ladies and gentlemen, is witnessed to
night not alone by persons of this lo
cality who are to some extent used to
such a display, but it is observed by
ladies and gentlemen of clture and re
finement who have come here from
abroad and who will spread around in
their respective localities and impart to
those at home what they have seen
here tonight. Thia is not mare talk.
Tbia is the demonstration of an exist
ing condition of things, such as appears
to every man, woman or child who con
siders the prosperity and future of our
state.
Let us redouble our efforts, whether
engaged in this industry personally or
not. Let us contribute everything w e
can to its success and advancement.
Let us, year by year, united with those
who are doing bo much for us in the
lines of advancement, give them not
only moral support, but on such occa
sions as this contribute our material
effort, not for the mere advancement of
this locality, but lor the benefit of all.
TONIGHT'S PROGRAMME.
Tbe tableaux to be given Thursday
evening at the fair are desgined to rep
resent dreams and realities from the four
cardinal points.
Tbe Merry North shows the dream of
a little street waif from his bed on a
snowy door step. The snow knights with
their spears, the ice fairies with their
icicles, and the frost imps with their
sharp fingers, are having a merry time
with their winter sports.
The Sunny South represents the
dreajpa of the little darky. His fertile
imagination pictures the flower fairies
among the green tangle of the hummock
lands of Florida, of which he has heard
so often, but never seen.
The Classic East will portray a con
trast in the realities; the struggling
artist in his barren Roman atelier and
hiß firelight dream of the time when art
was lived aa well as pictured.
His ideas center upon an ancient
feast to Vesta, and he 6eea the virgins
offering their libations, and the youths
and maidens decorating the statues in
this fair garden of fancy, where nature
aud art are one.
The Golden West is intended to be the
dream and reality in one. It represents
California's reception day, and her court
is crowded with applicants. The hunter
and fisher are receiving their share from
the coquettish Diana; the farmer his
grain irom Ceres, <vhile the goddess in
her double personification gives fullness
to the shepherd 'a flocks. Pomona sur
renders rich supplies to the horticult
urist, while the real estate man also
finds his largest returns under the
shower of her favor. Maia, the fair
pleiad who assists "Vulcan with his pre
cious metals, is loading the miner and
the capitalist at the same time witb
precious metals, while Flora encircles
the. children and girla in her floral bands
and showers her admirers With roses.
Tbe Lares and Penates are represented
by an altar statue of Love—a mother
and her little ones, while Hope sin ilea
upon the group below from her resting
star, and the Angel of Peace extends her
arms in benediction over all.
