Merriam says there was no wa ter in the canyon near their place and their present supply for domestic purposes was obtained by tunneling into the mountain about twenty feet.

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB "Women of Shakespeare," by Mrs. Charles Adams Mrs. Charles Kendall Adams, wife of Pro fessor Adams, president of the Wisconsin State university, who is spending the winter in IiOS Angeles, yesterday gave a most in teresting and scholarly address before the Friday Morning club to a large audience of the members on "The Women of Shakes peare." The speaker's familiarity with her subject and long quotations from the differ ent dramas given without book, paper or notes, to illustrate her points, indicated that the subject had been given long re search and study. Her comments on the various characters were keenly analytical, and her conclusions broad nnd generous, though in some instances differeing from other students. The speaker took up the various charac ters as types of womanhood; Rosalind por traying joyousness; Portia and Celia the value of friendship; Catherine, "the queen of earthly queens," who, if her character is simply analyzed, was but a good woman. The description of Cleopatra going down the river to meet Antony, the speaker con siders one of the finest things in Shakes peare, and the whole play teaches that though sin may be disguised in superb art there is no escaping its deformity nnd its .consequences. The speaker confessed that she was unable to determine the queery so often put, "Did Shakespeare intend to be a great moral teacher?" but the fact re mains that he was. In "Macbeth" there are traces of haste which intensifies its power, the writer catching its dramatic, not its historic, force. Two great characters dominate the play, and neither can be successfully acted. Mrs. Siddons, after forty years spent in study and on the stuge, confessed herself unable to portray Lady Macbeth. The speaker held her responsible for her husband's first plunge into ruin, and she is a type of the over-ambitious woman: a woman quick to think, quick to act. She wns what many have been from the beginning, and will be to the end. Dcsdemonn was next taken up, and side lights from a new point of view thrown upon her character by the speaker's keen perception. NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS Rivalry in the Operation of Limited Trains The rivalry between the Santa Fe nnd the {southern Pacific company in the race for patronage of the limited trains operated from the east to this city by both companies kas become very intense.

Orecne, Mad ison, Wis; Homer Laughlin, Los Angelea. The Santa Fe company is receiving about four new engines a month. George S. Strait, formerly cashier in the Riversido office of the Santa Fe, has been transferred to this city in the freight office. •T. Baumann, former ticket agent at River side, takes lhe place vacated by Mr. Strait and is in turn succeeded by T. West.

Superintendent Beainer of the Santa Fe, with headquarters at San Bernardino, is in the city for a day or so. Santa Fe employes in the general offices here are investing largely in the securities of that system, us they have had a boom recently. The stock of the company has long had only a nominal value in the stock market' but is now advancing so as to be come an interesting factor to speculators.

The county members of the legislature are * • pledged for Mr. J?ulla, and there is no question but what they will stand by him • • as long as he has any show, and it is thought that he has more than a good fight- • • ing chance. • • San Diego is, of course, for Grant, and it is said that he has also captured the • • Orange county delegates. Pic has also on his side all of the inductive of the • • Santa Fe. • • This will surprise many people, but it comes from such a source! that it can • • hardly be questioned, though the authority of the statement cannot be given. • • It is from a man who knows every move being made, and can be accepted as cor- • • rect, despite any contradictions that may be made. The Santa Fe company • • have not heretofore taken much part in politics, but they have had the benefit of • • coaching from "Uncle," and met with a defeat in their first effort, the working • • for George Arnold during the past campaign. • • The most industrious Arnold men were from the general offices of the company • • here, and they were ably seconded by the Arcade depot push. But that is a • • tale that has been told. • • Why the company is for Grant is because they have decided apparently that • • ocean commerce must be centralized into Sun Diego. They have established a • • Pacific steamship line there, and have recently put much money into prepara- • • tions, particularly in wharfs and terminal facilities. Anything that would hurt • • San Pedro will be pie for them, and likewise for the Southern Pacific. "Uncle" • • has been quoted as saying that he would prefer to have anything happen, even • • at tbe cost of business, that would defeat the men who are fighting him on the • • Santa Monica harbor matter. . • • Mr. Bulla was seen last evening, and talked as follows about his fight: "I • • am in the fight for the scnatorship, and will stay there till lam elected or de- • • feated. I believe that I have much more than a good fighting chance, but a • • contest of this kind is something that no one can feel certain about until it is • • completed. I have no reason at all to be discouraged, and from what Ido • • know feel quite comfortable about tbe outcome. I have all of tne county dele- • • gates under instructions from their convention, and I think as well from per- • • sonal preference." • • So, then, the question resolves itself down to the fact that the north will have • • the controlling voice in the matter, and Mr. Bulla's chances are dependent on • • whether he can find enough support there, among those who are opposed to • • General Michael Henri De Young and Mr. Knight, and General Barnes, and • • whether he can overcome the railway lobby which will support Grant from the • • Santa Fe, and possibly the Southern Pacific. This does not look very encour- • • aging for him, but it is not so bad as it appears on "its face, for he has been at • • work for a year or more past, and has won support from many regions that his • • opponents do not think have been approached. He has no money, but Senator • • White found himself in the same position, and he has the entire support of his • • community, which Senator White also had. • • General De Young will not get any comfort from this part of Southern Cali- • • fornia. General Barnes might, if the Bulla boom bursted. Mr. Knight has few • •' friends here, and it is probable that a dark horse would take the vote from here • • in case Mr. Bulla was overcome. The light will be a hard one, and the new ele- • • ment of the Santa Fe's sack, in addition to "Uncle's," will add to the complica- • • tions that are likely to ensue. • LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 12, 1898 IS LEGALLY INSANE CASE OF MBS. WINSLOW AGAIN AWAKENS INTEREST Application for a New Trial Has Been Filed on Information Received From California SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 11.—A long communication has been received from Judge Frederick C. Taylor, who committed Mrs. Winslow of llighuand to the asylum at Stamford, Connecticut. He states that Mr. Winslow at first tried to avoid the forms ol law and to place his wife quietly in the asylum, 4>ut found the law would allow her to be kept there only forty-eight hours. He then came to Judge Taylor, after con ■siilling Mrs. Winglow's stepmother, and filed tbe usual petition, alleging her to be insane and asking for her commitment to an asylum for the Insane. She did not appear in court and the hearing was continued at tbe sanitarium of Dr. McFarlnnd, under the direction of two Stamford physicians, Dr. Bohainan and Dr. Van Fleet, selected by the judge. Mrs. Winslow stated that her relatives were entirely without knowledge of the proceedings and the case was post poned three weeks. The judge himself wrote to five of them whose nnmes she gave him. In response to these letters. Mrs. O. 11. Woodward, a sister of Mrs. Winslow, from Canton, Ohio, came on and also Dr. Miner, cousin, and his sister, and he brought Dr. Downes of Hartford, Conn., a specialist in insanity. None of these, however, ap peared at the hearing, nor did any witnesses of her sanity appear, but the two physicians appointed by the court testified at length that Mrs. Winslow was insane and a proper subject for commitment to an asylum. Mr. Winslow was the only other one present. His first petition was filed August 15th and the commitment made September 10th. Ac cording to the laws of Connecticut the writ of habeas corpus is alway available to re open such a case, nnd any relative or friend can at any time petition the court for release on the ground that the insanity no longer exists. An appeal can be taken to the su perior court at any time within one month after the commitment. Dr. Miner has taken such an appeal and the case will be tried over asain on information received from Califor nia. There is no distinction between Dr. McFarland's "sanitarium" and an insane asylum, except in name. -His place has the appearance of a farm more than a public asylum. Mr. Winslow is with his wife and her friends are allowed to see her at all con venient hours. BREVITIES The resignation of Rev. A. J. Frost as pas tor of the Baptist church bus been accepted and a committee, consisting of A. W. Bar hum, H. A. Reed und J. W. Curtis, was ap pointed to open correspondence with appli cants for supplying his place. Supervisor j. H. West of Needles has gon to Los Angeles to spend the time until Mon day when the board meets to canvass the election returns. Thomas P. Christian has filed on twenty five inches of the natural flow of water at the southwest corner of L. Lodge's forty acre orchard on Mentone Heights, the water to lie used to irrigate tbe claimant's five-acre tract in the west side of Garnet avenue, south of the lands of L. Zimmcr. The Redlands Water company has filed a complaint demanding the 100 inches of watei due it from the Bear Valley Land and Water company and ita successors, the Bear Valley Water company, the Bear Valley Irrigatios compnny, and E. H. Spoor, receiver of the various Bear valley companies. Henry Anderson and Peter McM.ihon were each sentenced to five years in San Quentin for the assault on Lizzie Emmons. A party of five prospectors under the lead of F. A. Reed started last spring for Klon dike after a "sure thing," of which they felt so confident they straggled off singly to San Francisco for fear of being followed anil their valuable secret discovered. A letter just re ceived from Reed at Seattle asks for money to be sent him to get home with. He reports a loss of 100 pounds avoirdupois in his weight while absent, showing that dog meat is not fattening, csepecially when on scant rations. After the "Mashers" Complaint has been made to the police of the actions of some men on Spring street, who make a habit of standing in front of prominent hotels, like the Hollenbeck, and ogling passing women. The men are fre quently downright insulting in their atten tions. Chief of Police Glass has directed an officer to watch the places where the mash ers are most aggressive and arrest any of fenders. THE PUBLIC PULSE [The Herald under this heading prints communications, but dots not assume re sponsibility tor the sentiments expressed. Correspondents are requested to cultivate I brevity, so tar as Is consistent with the , proper expression ot their views.] New City Park at Vernon To tbe Editor oi the Eos Angeles Herald: Some time ngo, at an election, the sum of $10,000 was voted by the citizens of Los Angeles for the purchase and improvement of a tract of land for a park for a district limited north by Jefferson street, south by Slauson avenue, cast by Alameda street and west by Main street. A petition to the city council is now ex tensively circulated and signed, asking the council to purchase a piece of 9',i acres of E. F. Kysor, bounded east by Central av enue, west by Park avenue, north by Forty eighth street and south by Fiftieth street— a piece of land about twice the size of Cen tral park, located at Sixth and Olive streets. This piece of land was intended for a purk and improved for such fifteen years ago, and a great many people bought homes around it and improved the same, with the expec tation that this piece of land would always remain a public park. On it is located an avenue of grand old pepper trees, and grow ing on the tract are immense umbrella trees, palms and other ornamental trees, which it takes fifteen years to grow to the present size. The tract has a frontage of about COO feet on Central avenue, the main thoroughfare of the southern portion of the city of Los Angeles, en which is being operated an| elec tric railroad giving excellent service and affording easy access to the park. There is a deep well on this piece of ground, fur nishing an inexhaustible supply of water, nnd the soil is very rich, as is proved by the wonderful growth of trees. The sum of $10,000 is sufficient not only to pay in full lor the land, but also to immediately make such improvements on it as are necessary in a city park. The growth of the population along Cen tral avenue during the last live years has been very great, probably greater than in any other portion of Los Angeles city; and '• there is a population located along the northern portion, of Central avenue which will be especially and particularly beneiited by a park located on the site now proposed. It is essential for a city park to be located directly on a street car line so that families ' may reach it direct without transferring ii possible, and without having to walk from the cars to the park; and this piece of land 'seems to be admirably suited for the pur pose of a park. W. Dangers of the Bicycle To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald: While protests arc!in the air for the abate ment of nuisances, cannot something be done in behalf ol! thd honest pedestrian? Against collision with vehicle and street car we pedestrians are comparatively safe; but who eau account for the vagaries in the mind of a reckless bicyclist? About a month ago v young girl and a boy of 10 were run into by a cyclist. Although it was nearly dark he carried no light nor did he ring a bell. The little boy, Howard Bentley of 1327 South Hill street, wus knocked insensi ble, his head bitting the Santa Monica car rails. The festive rider never halted. As the big car was rapidly coming on the boy would have been crushed to death if it had not been for the desperate struggle of tbe young girl, who) at first was nearly paralyzed with fear. Two men carried the boy home, where he lay unconscious for hours. He is still out of school, with a prospect of six months' vacation before him. This is the closest call that I personally know of, but other collisions have come to my knowledge without my asking for infor mation. I know places where little girls are jostled on the sidewalks and sometimes knocked over, because in the scramble they can't all get out of the way. A lady told me not long ago she saw a bicycle sweeping down on her and jumped aside, only to find the rider dodging that way. She tried the opposite direction and found him there also. Thrusting her para sol into the wheel the rider was forced to dismount. Whereupon he showed consid erable temper. The lady told him as it seemed a question of herself or her parasol she preferred to sacrifice the latter. I confess whenever I cross a street and see a bicycle coming near I feel the inde cision of little Jenny Wren's father creeping over me. Poor soul! Frequent journeys after "three pen'y worth o' rum" had well nigh destroyed his brain. Still, the instinct of self-preservation was strong within him. I often wonder what he would do in these days of the bicycle. JOSIE E. COOK. Hit With a Hammer Thomas J. McDonald was arrested yes terday on a warrant charging him with as sault with a deadly weapon. He was ar raigned before Justice Owens and released under §500 bonds. Andrew J. Springer swore to the complaint. Springer is n hose man and McDonald the captain of chemical engine No. 4 on Pico Heights. The men got into a fight Wednesday and Springer claims that McDonald, struck him on the skull behind the left ear with a hammer. In any event, Springer was hit by some one, for he was given medical attendance at the receiving hospital. Springer claims that McDonald "has it in" for him and took the first opportunity of injuring him. A Soldier's Sensations "It was the big shell and shrapnel," said a soldier from Cuba, "that made us hug the ground, but it was the little Mauser bullets that killed our men." It is the same in every day life. People shiver with panic at the mention of smallpox or yellow fever, but it is the little disorders of the stom ach that really do the most killing. The best medicine for the stomach is Hostet ter's Stomach Bitters. It cures indigestion and dyspepsia. It is Just as good for women as for men. For a run-down, de bilitated condition nothing is so good or so sure to cure. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is an old-time remedy. It has stood tho test for years, and its popularity increases day by day.

One of them was a Mrs. Carter, who is supposed to be • • - the wife of one of the men named by Hancock as his accomplices in burglaries. • • The woman appeared unnerved, and when her request to sec Hancock was • • refused she became quite agitated. She subsequently inquired who was Han- • • cock's attorney. This woman came here three years ago from the east, claiming • • to be the wife of R.

Douglas Dollf -j ered a ireat Speeoh—Again the Soene of an Important Event. w From the TrUCounty Scribe, Jlymoulh, lU. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell Thompson run the 11 historic Cuyler House ut Plymouth, 111., a boa- ' telry whsre Abraham Lincoln often slept, ' where " Dick" Yates, Lyman Trumbell and , Richard Oglesby bought refreshments for the , inner man in ante-bellum days, and from tbe j veranda ot which Stephen A. Douglas de- < livered one of his great speeches. This article has not so much to do, how- ' ever, with this historic hotel, as it has with , tho landlord's thirteen-year-old laughing, ; bright-eyed, rosy-checked daughter Ollie. i As one sees her to-day, the picture of per fect health, it is hard to believe that nearly nine of tho thirteen years of her life were spent on the bed of invalidism, that for months sho lever walked, and for years suffered the pain, aisery and distress of inflammatory rheuma 18m in its worst form. Able physicians were employed but no permanent Denefit resulted. Mrs. Thompson heard of a wonderful cure which had been effected by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People, and wus influ enced by it to purchase some of the pills for her daughter. Before she had taken half a box, there was marked improvement in her condition; when lhe had taken two boxes she was completely restored to health. TS-day, there is not a healthier child than Ollie Thompson. The case came to the attention of tho editor of the Tri-Cuu-nty Sarib'., and a reporter was detailed to learn tho story of this remarkable cure from Mrs. Thompson's own lips. She said: t "Ollie was a hearty, well-developed child from the time she was born until she was throe years old. In ISB7 she was taken down with inflammatory rheumatism. For nine years she was never entirely free from the dis ease, and ranch of the tMnc was in an alarm ing condition.
