From the character of the work and
the foot tracks left by the thieves

five officers about Charles place, to
prevent anything from being car

trade mark of the Messrs. New

two ago, appointing l.. f. Page
President or Head Centre of all
Workingmen's Clubs in Southern
California. The document is adj
dressed "To whom it may concern"
and states that Mr.. Kearney, in
order to prevent " broken down
politicians, chronic office seekers
and shysters" from getting control
of Workingmeh's Clubs, finds it
necessary to issue an order that no
branch club will be recognized as
legitimate by the Central Club of
the State unless organized under
the sign manual of l.. e. Page.
Our informant states that the

organized and that they do not in
tend to submit to any such assump-

The opening at Mrs. Parke's mill
linery store yesterday. in the
Strelitz Block, was a notable event
in Los Angeles. This establish
ment may fairly be called the Pal
ace OF Fashion. 1t is fitted up in
superb style, and resembles more q
lady's boudoir than store room.
The selection OF goods does honor to
the discriminating taste of Mrs.
Parke. The latest elegancies of
the Paris fashions are displayed in
her showcases. No Los Angeles
lady who appreciates the exquisite
point to which the adornment of
her sex can be brought, should fail
to visit Mrs. Parke's establishment.
There is something in seeing these
dainty fancies, even if the purse
precludes the visitor from buying.
