We had the pleasure yesterday of
inspecting the depot of the l.. a. e !.
r. r. on San Pedro street, and were
highly pleased with its architectural
beauty and spacious proportions. 1t
is really the most ornamental build
ing on that street and fit architec-
tural companion for the palatial resi-
dences which surround it. It's towers
and pretty frost will long remain a
pleasing reminder of the building of
the Santa Monica road.
Chinatown was in Il religious fervor
last night, and the din must have been
a terror to Chinese devils. The crowd
of Chinese in attendance was immense
and the throng of curious visitors was
larger than usual. The priest chanted,
the musicians sang, the gongs doomed,
the crowd laughed, the lamps flick
cred, the gamblers played, the opium
smoker slept, the women leered and
the Chinese devil looked on approx
ingly-only this and nothing more.
70 be continued this day and evening

of the Chinese religious drama for ths
season.

The name of Ducommun is insepa-
rably connected with the history of
the hardware trade in Los Angeles.
Ducommun's establishment, on Main
street near Commercial, contains as
complete stock Us can be found out
side of San Francisco. and he sells at
metropolitan prices. Anything from
tackhammer to an anvil can be OBJ
tanned in this establishment, and at
prices that defy competition. During
Mr.. Ducommun's recent visit to the
East he made such arrangements as
will enable him to compete success
fully with San Francisco jobbers and
importers. His customers in Los An
geles will receive the advantage of
Mr.. Ducommun's business enterprise
and get their hardware at the lowest
San Francisco rates.
At ball the her night, we wit
messed thrilling scene. A young
fientleman wished to be introduced to
the belle of the evening, and sought
the services Of friend to perform the
ceremony. Bnt it was sight to see
that introduction! The moment the
magnetic glance of the young lady
struck him he was gone. He quiver-
cred as if he felt the earthquake, his
features contracted as if he had sud-
denly swallowed the compound ex-
tract of u thousand lines. He was
chilled as though taking shower
bath with the thermometer down to
zero. He was breathless and speech
less in o minute, and the lady moved
offin the May dance unconscious of
the paralysis of the heart she had in
nocently caused. Such case of gone
ness we have never before witnessed
and if the victim don't break out into
writing love letters, inditing poetry or
committing suicide, then the symr-
most belle the case.
