Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-11-25
For City Attorney.

EDITORS HERALD-The importance OF
faithful and intelligent discharge of the
duties Of the office of City Attorney to
the future growth and prosperity of Los
Angeles needs no discussion. Both the
leading political parties admit the neces-
sity OF eliciting an efficient man to this
position. 1t is an office having no
political significance or bearing what
ever, and its Incumbent should be elect
ed without reference to his political affil-
iations. An honorable and courageous
man, a capable and experienced lawyer,
is the sprt of timber out of which to
make a good City Attorney. Such quail
ifications are not so difficult of attain
ment If we look for them in the right
direction. There are several lawyers
at the Los Angeles bar having
these virtues in admitted promi-
nence. Among these is Hon. E. G.
Bower. No better selection could be
made for the office in question. He is
an able, clear-headed and acute lawyer
OF many years practice and man who
in office would be guided solely
by sense of duty from
which no influence adverse to
his constituents interests could swerve
him in the least. He is, besides, an
affable, genial gentleman, and one who
would wear we'll in Office. If both the
parties-Republican and Democratic
desire to put the City Attorneyship above
all improper influences, and make it an
efficient auxiliary to the city's welfare,
they will unite in eleciing L. G. Bower
to the office. LAWYER.

and to large contractors, who are work
ing men upon the roads,"
You say one Of these men fed hogs &c
dead horses, but what does he feed them
on now?"
"Well, both he and the others take all
the swill from the hotels and restaurant;
and use it for pork feed"
"How about the beef?"
"They buy the poorest kind of cattle
from anybody that offers them cheap.
This meat goes to the contractors and
they serve it up to their men,"
"Is there not danger that they will get
diseased meat in this way?"
"Well, should say so. That is one OF
the strongest reasons there is why we
should have an inspector of meats.
Although there is no danger that the
butchers in the Union will deal in tainted
meats, because the wholesalers are very
careful men and experienced in
their business; yet the retail
butchers would favor the appoint
ment of an inspector so that
meats that are not wholesome should be
condemned, no matter how or for whose
consumption they are Sold"
81 find you a very intelligent gentle
man to interview, and am glad l ran
across you. Thanks, and bonjour."

SWcencY.WakClee.

A very pleasant wedding took place
yesterday at Long Beach. The contract
ing warties were Miss Francis Wakelee
and Mr.. Will f. Sweeney, both we'll
known in this city. Mr.. Sweeney is the
surveyor Of Wilmington and Long Beach
and the constructing engineer of
the Salt Lake and Utah Rail
road Company. The young couple were
united in marriage by Rev. MIR. Webster
and were attended by Miss Alice Hussey,
Miss Maude Healey, Miss Louise Wake
lee and Messrs. A. Lincoln Lovett. r. L.
Mcknight and Fred Cowley. Miss Bere-
man and Miss Webster, of this city, fur
nished the music, and Miss Blanch
Healey's artistic fingers arranged the
handsome decorations. Among the Los
Angeles people who attended were Mrs. H.
P. PEBBLES, Miss Catherine PEBBLES, Miss
Bereman, Col. Ed. Sheerin, Z. w. Pick
ler and Fred. Cowley.
After the ceremony the young couple
came to this city, where they were
wished lifelong happiness by their
many friends.

1t is reported that Thomas A. Gaskins
the bookkeeper Of the Porter Land and
Water Co., has absented himself from
this city, and that his whereabouts are
unknown. 1t is stated that before
he left he forged three checks
of 500 each on the company
which checks were cashed by William
Bell, A. Lindenfeld and Mr.. Knoblock
OF the Post saloon. Mr.. Gaskin's &C.
counts with the company are said to be
correct and his friends think his disap-
pearance rather strange. Gaskins came
to Los Angeles with General
Miles from Whipple Barracks, Ari-
zona, when the Army headquar-
ters were moved to this city. He was
clerk in the Adjutant- Generals flee,
and for some reason was discharged in
the spring of 1887. He leaves behind
him wife and baby boy. His friends
hope that the whole affair will prove a
mistake.

Pleasant Episode at SutrO.

An entertainment was given in Sutro,
Nevada, on Thursday, November 22nd,
under the auspices of Mrs. Theodore Su-
tro, wife of the President of the Sutro
Tunnel Company.
The children of the public school in
that town are exceedingly mischievous,
and Mrs. Sutro said she believed that if
their minds were always properly en-
ployed after school hours that these
scholars would become just as tractable
as the children in any private school,
and that while she was sojourning in
that region she would try the expert
ment, and give the scholars something
pleasant with which to occupy their
minds, as they would have not much time
to be idle, they could not domuch wrong.
After school they were to play games in
the open air, and every evening they
were all invited to the Sutro Mansion
the residence of Colonel and Mrs. G. c.
Thomas, of Los Angeles, and taught te
sing pretty childish songs (not senti
not sing were taught pieces to recite
The pupils have found that the evenings
passed very pleasantly. Their instructor
Miss Helen Huff, of Virginia City
had all of them write the words O
the songs as writing lesson in school
She is much pleased with the idea, ant
says she only regrets that Mrs. Sutrt
cannot remain through the winter in tht
town and teach the school the beautiful
melodies. Miss Huff suggested that al
entertainment be given for the benefit o
the school, but Mrs. Sutro leaves Tor he
home in New York on Sunday. Th'
following programme was carried out b.
the children at the party given by Mrs
Theodore Sutro:
Song by school, "Love at Home :
Recitation, Guilty or Not Guilty,
