We saw man step on piece of
orange peel, yesterday, and fall fiat on
the sidewalk. AS he got up he re-
marked, "Helen Blazesr'
The body of a man named Lake
was brought in on the train from
Spadra yesterday for interment. The
gentleman died very suddenly at
Spadra on Monday.
Ihe WorKmen on the new depot
building are now coming down on
their home stretch. The house is en-
closed ami the roof is rapidly nearing
completion.
= A lodge of the 1. O. B. B. is to be

Mr.. John F. Rowell of Providence,

and we hope will make his visit per-
manent.
The case of Hellman, Haas & Co.

The Jewish congregation assembled
at the Synagogue yesterday morning
to participate in the opening services
of the Passover. In connection with
the religious rites of the day, Rabbi
Edelman delivered an address in Eng
lish of about thirty minutes duration.
He reviewed briefly but eloquently
the origin and history of the sacred
feast. Services will be held at the
SvnapOpue again tO.daV
We are glad to see our old friend
Herman Morris of Downey again in
the city. He has not visited us before
for several months, and in the mean
time has been growing in wealth and
avoirdupois. A look at his corporOsity
would indicate that he has been fed
on those famous Los NietOs pump
kins. Mr.. Morris will remain in the
city about a week during the celebra-
tion of the Passover.
The rascals who circulated their
bogus two-and-a-half pieces here have
gone to San Bernardino. Kear-
ney, of the Guardian, says that he has
been taken in with one of them. This
shows the total depravity of the coun-
terfeiters. They will some day go tOa
place with more birthstone in it than
that prepared for delinquent subscri-
bers. Think of it! taking two dollars
and thirty-five cents in coin and live
newspaper for a piece of pewter cov-
cred with gold leaf! 1t ought to make
an alabaster statue blush down to its
toe-nails.
East Los Angeles is looming up into
the proportions of an independent
city. We visited the place the other
day, and were surprised at it's rapid
and substantial growth. On every
side houses are to be seen not yet old
enough to have made the acquaint-
ance of the painters brush, but many
of them already occupied for dwell
ings. The hourly visit of the East
Los Angeles stage, the going to and
fro of loaded teams and visitors bug
gies and the sound of the hammer
and saw on every hand, give an air Of
life and vigor which promises great
things in the near future for our
younger half across the river.
