some of those committed to hit

It will bo seen by the announce
ment In our advertising columns,
that the Los Angeles Ice Company
have permanently reduced the
price of fee to one cent per pound.
This will be good news to our citi.
zsns, many Of whom have hereto

In such an increased sale as will
compensate the company for their
liberality.

Turnvsrein Hall WAS again crowd
ed to its fullest capacity last night
to witness The second representa-.
tion of the Mirror of Ireland and
the Sullivan Comedy Company.
The Irish character sketches by
Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan were. as On
the first night, capitally rendered
and ELECTED the most enthusiastic
applause. George f. and Kitty
Moore also came in for large
share of applause, the audience in
several instances insisting on rep
etitions of their graphic character
delipeations. Two more exhibit
tions will be given, this and Satur-
day evenings, and matinee on
Saturday afternoon. which will
give all our citizens an opportunity
to witness one of the best enter

San Francisco papers report that
there Is now in circulation In that
city a counterfeit five.dollar piece
likely to deceive any person trust
ing to the ordinary tests. It bears
the date Of 1869. and at casual
glance seems as we'll milled a piece
as the genuine product of the Mint,
the impression on both sides being
sharp aud we'll defined. It's ring
closely resembles that of gold. A
slight scrstc betrays the fact that
the bogus piece is gold.plated on
some white metal somewhat harder
than silver. In very short time
the plating wears of on the edges,
exhibiting the counterfeit. A close
inspection Of the stars will betray
the piece, as they are larger and not
Us mathematically accurate as
those on the genuine. When new,
the bogus coin will deceive anyone
but au expert. People in LIS An
geles will do we'll to keep An eye
out for tho little joker.
