THIRD SUPERVISOR DISTRICT.

Mozart's ninth mass in G was
sung Sunday with exquisite appre-
citation and success by the very su.
perior choir which is now recog-
nized as one Of the institutions of
Los Angeles. The trio, by Mrs. ].
G. Howard. Mr.. F. B. Tanning and
Prof. Arevalo was an achievment
which will linger pleasantly In the
memory Of those who heard 1t.
Los Angeles is metropolitan In at
least one respect-the superiority
of her church music. Those who
fail to note the announcement that
one OF Moxrrt's or Mercadante's
masses Is to be sung In the Cathe.
dral miss an esthetio treat. This
transcendental and sacred music Ia
interpreted with an artistic finish
aud completeness not surpassed In
st. Stephens, New York, in which
church many OF the most famous
prime dome in the world delight
to sing, In their occasional visits to
Gotham. Prime dome, by the
way, are generally devout Catolics,
and they generally delight to relax
themselves In this way.
A chapter Of the romance of real
life was developed before Deputy
County Clerk Owens yesterday.
An old, silvery haired gentleman,
who confessed to being.sixty nine
years Of age, desired q license to
marry a Los Angeles lady of sixty
three. Observing an expression of
some interest on the face of the
Clerk, the old gentleman entered
into the following explanation: II
see you are surprised at two old
people like US marrying. For
forty five years l have not heard Of
or from the lady, although, from
our school-days, we had been at.
tached to each other. The story is
too long one to tell, suffice that
I, living In Denver, Colorado, ut
last heard of the whereabouts Of
the lady and here I am, prepared to
celebrate our long deferred nup-
tials." The happy couple will re-
main in Los Angeles two or three
weeks, at the end Of which time
they will return to the husbands
home in Denver. Webeg to throw
our editorial slipper after the aged
Benedict and his bride.

here gives mortal offence 70 the labor re-
form leaders of this city. K-arney's lieu
tenants are in high dudgeon aboutit, and
assert with strong emphasis that Butler
is an inflated politician, utterly ignorant
of the spirit of the workingmen's move
ment. Kearney's right hand man SAYS,
"No relation whatever exists between
Butler and Kearney.
The latter is the leader of tn men whom
Butler can follow if he sees fit, but the
wOrwingmen's movement Ignores politi-
clans and chooses it's leaders from its own
members" This means that the work.

no entangling alliances with Butler or any

expressions of sentiment are looked for
