An Open Letter.

The Mexican assembly, knights of
Labor, In conjunction with other organ
iZatiOns, have formed a committee to
make arrangements for the celebration
OF the Independence Of Mexico, and in
its regular meeting Saturday last, de-
GiGed 10 carry out the festival according
to the rules OF the knights OF Labor.
Pending these arrangements, the COM
mittee WAS to have an arrangement
with committee of the SOciedad Mu-
tualista, to arrange, if possible, an agree
ment by which both societies would eel
citrate together, but after a fruitless
talk on the part of the Mutualista, we
concluded to shut all negotiations in
this respect because we sought to have
equal rights and privileges and repre-
sentatIOn as an organized body.
We were willing even TO accept their
terms, but, as l say, they have tried to
bulldOZe our committee until they have
gone so far as to insult the Order of the
Knights Of Labor, and CLAIM that we
did not accept their invitation, when, in
fact, said Invitation WAS never present.
ed TO our committee. The SOciedad
Mutualista, or Its committee, called a
public meeting at the cockpit of
Santiago Villanueva to read a report
OF the work done by the said committee
as they stated in a cIrcula~ which they
printed and distributed ostensibly with
the object to insult our order and its
representative.
Mr.. Juan Cardenas took the stump
and proffered very unbecoming language,
insulting every one, INDUCING in per-
sonalities. Mr.. Juan Barrera spoke in
the same strain, also one Manuel Sierna.
YOu will see by all their talk that
what they want is to gain political
point, creating a rumpus between the
Mexican societies of the city and to
gather around them men to do what
they want.
They see only their interests. OF
course these are political, and they for
get even their dignity.
We conclude, stating that we cannot
submit to their insults and for the sake
of truth, we make the above state
ments. MANUEL LOPEZ,
President of the General Committee.

Jose MOntez, tall, well-fOrmed and
genteel Mexican, came TO Justice Craw-
ford this morning to go with him ana
marry him to Miss Guadalupe Perales.
and took him to the house Of IiburoiO
CARA, and inquired for the young lady,
to which her sister answered that she
had been sent out to the ranch. When the
discOnsolate groom, after converslng
with Mr.. CARA, WAS about to leave, IN
stepped the bride, and the groom told
her step out OF the house and TO enter
the hack, which he proceeded TO do,
whereupon her younger sister went for
the groom in slugger style, and hit him
several ticks in the breast. The groom
seized her hands, when she broke out
into screams, swearing her sister SHOULD
not marry such dog" The hack, with
groom, the bride, and the justice, was
driven to the house of the groom's
brother, where the nuptial knot was tied
hard and fast by the justice, ana the
lovers, in the flush OF youth, were made
happy by the union of hearts and hands.

Hoisted on His Petard.

Mr.. K. Ii. Lockhart, the druggist,
who has a store at the junction Of San
Pedro avenue with Aoequia street, had
his store window partially destroyed by
the storm, and being unable to get it re-
paired before night, he barricaded it up
as best he could and put a trap there in
the form of large beam so that if any
one attempted to enter the store by that
way it would fall and awaken him.
Then he went to sleep with the calm
satisfaction of knowing that all was Sc
cure. In the morning he forgot all about
the trap, but he suddenly remembered it
when the large beam fell upon his toes,
crushing them badly.

He pian,t Ge, The Tin.

"Harry," said a young wife to her
husband, can you get me some ostrich
tips to-day, as you go down town, and
have them sent up?"
"Ostrich tips!" he answered, with a
puzzled look.
"Yes, dear, ostrich tips"
"Oh," he replied, as if he knew all
about it, "of course / cam" and he
went away without b~etraying his
ignorance.
That evening when he came back his
wife met him at the door.
"Oh, Harry" she cried, "the tips
didn't come. You forgot them, you
naughty fellow"
"Not much, l didn't" he said with
spirit; "but they didn't have any"
"Didn't have any? Why, l saw them
in a dozen places yesterday. Where
did you go?"
Every place. Franks and Joe's and
Sans and a whole lot more places.
They could give me baseball tips and
horse-race tips, and regatta tips, but
nobody had any ostrich tips, and l gave
it up as a bad job"
She looked at him closely for an in
slant, took in the situation, and mutual
explanations resulted in an amicable
settlement.

The Kind. Hearted Large Man,

1t was 8 by the large clock in a down.
town restaurant as a lame boy with a
crutch and q basket containing an as
sortment of candy and other sweet
meats entered and limped up to a large
man who was standing at the bar i'm
billing with four jolly companions.
"Candy," piped the lame lad.
The large man turned abruptly,
looked at the boy and then said,
as your father working?"
mo, sir" said the lad. "He's dead"
"Whatll you take for all there's in
the basket"
The little fellow looked at his stock
and then again at the man, apparently
not comprelending the situation.
"Have you got a mother?"
"Yes, sir" was the response.
"Fellows," said the large man, "let,s
help the boys mother" and then five
huge hands went down into trousers
pockets for loose coin. The collection,
amounting to a dollar and sixty cents,
was handed to the boy, who went out
OF the place looking at the money in the
palm of his hand nearly bewildered at
his good fortune, and wholly unable to
account for his unusual treatment.
