LOCAL LINES.
The Regular Meeting of the
Reliance Club.
THE WORK OF POLITICIANS.
Criminal Happenings and News Of
Interest to Many
Citizens.

The Reliance Club has never failed to
hold most enthusiastic meeting weekly.
1t can be said this club is wide awake
for the straight Demo ocratic ticket. Last
evening this club held rousing meeting
in Judge Hutton's Courtroom. w. L.
Price was in the chair, and Thomas Rut-
ledge secretary. The Committee on Ar
rangements for the mass meeting and
parade on Tuesday evening next report
ed that everything was arranged to make
it big success. After eleven new names
were added to the roll, Judge w. A.
Ryan was called upon, and made most
eloquent address. He dwelt upon per-
feet organization and the surplus, and
stated that on recent visit to the north
ern part Of the State, he found the DEM
ocrats in fighting trim. They were we'll
organized in every county, especially in
the city of San Francisco, where the
people are most enthusiastic for Cleve-
land and Thurman. San Francisco prom
ises at least 1000 majority for the
national Democratic ticket. Harrison's
Chinese record is fast gaining converts to
the Democratic party, and the Prohibi-
tionists and American party would draw
ninety per cent from the Republican
party. Judge Ryan's remarks were we'll
received. He certainly made most ex-
cellent impression, and should be heard
more during the campaign. The second
speaker was Judge E. G. Bower, whose
forcible remarks on the tariff elected
great applause. The next speaker was
the ever popular Portland G. Hunt, who
responded in neat and short speech on
the issues of the day. Colonel Flournoy
then paid his respects to Tom Fitch, one
of the Republican fabricators, and ham
died him without gloves. G. E. J. White
stated that the prospects in the county
for great Democratic victory were most
encouraging, and that if Los An
geles City did her duty the
entire ticket would be elected.
George W. Glowner, Esq, was selected
as the presiding officer of the evening at
the mass meeting to be held on the 25th
inst. Every member of the club is
urgently requested to be present in Judge
Hutton's courtroom on Tuesday evening
between and 7:3O o'clock for parade.
Those that are not members are invited
to participate. Torches will be furnished
at the grand stand on New High street
at 7 80 O'Clock P. NJ, where band of
music will be in readiness to escort the
club through the principal streets. The
meeting then adjourned with three
cheers for the Democratic ticket.

HOrAe Training.

The horse training exhibitions given
by Professor J. McKeown are drawing
large assemblies OF spectators at his Am
phitheater on Main street, near the Pan
Drama. The horses handled are the
property of resident citizens, no trained
animals being used. To.night's perform
ance promises unusual interest, as some
of the "hardest cases. have been re-
served for this occasion. Representative
citizens and their families compose a
large portion of the audiences. The fire.
quent and hearty bursts OF applause
evinces the merits of the performance.

A Chinese shooter,

See Noon, Chinaman living in an
old adobe on New Main street and one
of the proprietors of laundry, got into
some trouble with boy yesterday even
ing and fred shot at him with a revol-
yer. Daniel and M. Morris. who were
near at hand, captured him as he was
trying to get away and handed him over
to the police. Detective Mccarthy, while
looking for the revolver which Noon had
thrown away, was accosted by another
Chinaman, All Jim, armed with large
knife. He was brought to the station on
a charge of carrying concealed weapons.

The Libel Case.

The suit of General H. H. Boyce
against the Times Mirror Company still
occupies the attention of Judge O'Mel-
venv and jury. The defense yesterday
introduced several witnesses, who testi-
fed in relation to the publication of the
article and the circumstances surround
ing the same. There are still some wit
nesses for this side OF the case, and it is
probable that the attention of the court
will be occupied for some time next week
in the hearing of further evidence.

Lightning Cured His Rheumatism.

Jacob Miller, who lives IN Cobb county,
had not walked in seven years on account
of the contraction OF the muscles of the
leg. During recent storm, while sitting
under tree, stroke of lightning shat
tered the top of the trunk of the tree,
knocking it into splinters. Miller says
he felt the current of electricity pass
through his body, and he thought death
was upon him. In attempting to get his
crutch he found that his lame leg was
almost straight, and he has walked with
out assistance ever since.-[St. Louis Re.

The Ball. ~

The ball given at the Armory Hall
last night in honor of the Odd Fellows
eclipsed anything of the kind ever before
witnessed in the city, for about l, ,20C
persons all told passed through the doors
Most of the Chevaliers were in full uni.
form, and the scene presented was a
very fascinating one, for their habli-
meuts glittering with gold lace We'd with
the costly toilettes of the ladies'. The
various officers Of the evening were as
follows:
Reception Committee Messrs. Chas.
E. Gault, M. S. Rowell, E. F. Spence

Meine's orchestra occupied the stage
and played dances in rapid succession,
the ball of gaiety being kept rolling until
long after "the witching hour" was pass
ed. 1t was pleasant experience from
first to last and was heartily enjoyed by
all who participated in it.

a statement made that ostrich feathers

A Spanish Dinner,

Last evening Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Bartning entertained small party Of
the friends of General Mathews at their
residence, No. 42S South Fort street, by
giving them regular Spanish dinner at
6 O'Clock. There is no one on the Coast
who understands better the arrange
ments for such an entertainment than
does Mrs. Bartning, and the distin-
guished guests enjoyed themselves
thoroughly in discussing the vari-
GUS viands, served in such a
manner. Spanish dinners are renowned
for their merits, and the guests OF Mr..
and Mrs. Bartning will probably never
forget the one of last evening. Those
who were present besides the host and
hostess were General Underwood, Cen
eral Miles, General Mathews, General
Albion, General Merriman, General
Frost, General Muckle, General Nichol
son and Mr.. L. j. Mathews.

tions. It has practically swallowed Shintoism
here, and it came TO Japan in the sixth century.
1t teaches socially the depreciation of class and
the good nature which exists here between
masters and servants must come somewhat
from it. The Buddhist is like tho prophet, in
that be believes all life is vanity, and his hope
therefore is to get free from it. he believes IN
the transmigratiOn Of souls, aud that BY con-
tinuaIly trying to do better he will rise from
better life to better life IN his change from one
body to another, until at last he reaches that
state called the Niryana. This is supposed by
many to be state Of practical soul anuihilation,
but an eminent Buddhist priest tells me this Is
not so. It is a state Of intellectual and soul
progress corresponding somewhat to Our best
idea Of heaven, in which the soul grows better
and better, and is happy Ia the growth toward
perfect life, with the use of ali the faculties
which are good in mans nature, and with the
annihilation Of all that is bad. This theory,
however, if held at ALL is that of the very high,
the very pious, and the very few. The forms
of Buddhism are those Of idoiatry and in
another letter may mention some which would
make one smile were they not so real and the
subject so solemn.

a friend Of mine was attacked by ants They
came in legions. and the food was covered
with them The cook took them out by
the handful and drowned them. Others
came, and it was so for weeks Then paper
was pasted over the inside of the cupboard !;
bat they ate through this, and redoubled their
numbers. Ny friends japanese maid said :
Master, l drive ants away know how FIX
them" The next day she appeared with half
dozen strips of paper on which were written
lines of japanese tea-box letters. She said
they were from the priest, and that the words
warned the ants TO 20 away. She pasted them
up in the closet, and, strange to say, my friend
assures me he has not seen an ant there since.
