uSOs OhC htJ
husband as tall, slim, down-look-

We warn the practical jokers of
Los Angeles to go slow" on Tom
Price. Our town is too near the
day when we were served regu-
larly and diurnally with u man for
breakfast to admit of too much of
this thing. The other day some
fellow, who had been sent off post
haste to fin! Tom Price, was hunt
Ing the sender with a revolver
staunchly strapped to one of his
hips. Not only causualty but dis
aster may come from this second
edition of the "Tom Collins of
the East.

There are II number of people
who look for the millennium, as
witness our Second Adventist hay
speculatOr upon whom the weather
clerk got up corner. So there are
men sanguine enough to look for
the passage of Tom Scott's subsidy.
Both events might occur simulta-
| neOusly, 1t is true, but the occur

They are making a perfectly
charming thing of the Evergreen
Cemetery. The only danger is that
people will want to die premature

the obituary poet of the Phila.lel-
phia Ledger, is the serene satisfac-
ton that u well-disposed person
ought to take in an interment in
this sequestered spot.

The passage of the Silver bill, the
New York and Boston money
sharps informed US, would increase
the premium on gold. AS matter
of fact, however, you may peddle
gold around the streets Of Los An
geles, of late. and you can't get
over three per cent. premium for
it. There is nothing like the iron
logic of facts.
We direct attention to the dou-
BILE column advertisement of E.

one of the largest and best selected
stocks of dry goods, ready.made
clothing, boots, shoes, hats, etc.,

will sell at prices that for cheap
ness cannot be eXcelled on the Pa
