AN EXPLOSION
Sets Fire to the Establishment Of
Harper & Reynolds Co.

Sets Fire to the Establishment of
Harper & Reynolds Co.
The hardware establishment of the
Harper-Reynolds Company was visited
by fire yesterday morning about s
o'clock. A gas filter who was at work in
the front part of the basement of the
store fitting pipe to the main by the
light of candle, forgot to turn off the
gas and the result was an explosion.
Some tarred paper took fire and dense
volumes of smoke began to pour out at
the ventilators and to roll back over the
piles of stoves and crockery in the base
ment. The gas filter was burned on the
arm by the explosion. The fire depart
ment was soon on hand, but the firemen
experienced great deal of difficulty in
getting at the fire as the paper made
very little blaze. Immense quantities of
water were poured into the basement
apparently without any result. For a
time it looked as though the building
would have to go as the clouds of smoke
issuing from the doors, windows and
skylight might have burst into a flame
at any minute. At last, however, the
hose was carried far enough forward into
the basement to play upon the flames
and the fire was extinguished.
No damage of any importance was
done by the fire itself, but the water
which had been poured so lavishly over
all the wares stocked in the basement
will inflict q loss in the neighborhood of
SIS, 900, which will be partially covered
by insurance. The employees of the
house and the fremen all did efficient
work. Chief Moriarty received the fol-
lowing a short while after the fire had
been extinguished;

BRONCO MULES.

How They Cut ZIP ON the Street.
Cars.
A few days ago Mr.. M. Shannon, Mr..
M. Shannon, Mr.. David Holmes, of Oak
land, Mrs. Shannon and another lady
were going out to Pasadena. As they
drove through East Los Angeles street.
car was coming down the street in an
opposite direction. Just before the car
riage in which the party were driving
met the car, the two mules which were
hauling the latter became frightened and
then utterly unmanageable. The broncos
broke loose from the Car and came
at a break neck pace directly
towards the team. Mr.. Holmes, being
an expert driver, turned his horses out
of the way of the two wild mules. but
these dashed blindly against the car
riage. By the merest chance serious
accident was avoided. This happened
on Friday last.
The Shannon party congratulated
themselves on this narrow escape, and
had dismissed the affair from their
minds. But yesterday the whole
exciting scene was recalled most
vividly to the minds of Mrs.
Shannon. She was on the side
walk near her home, on Fort street,
when 10 the same pair of wild mules
came laundering along the sidewalk,
nearly running over the lady, who was
naturally frightened out of her seven
senses. The broncos had again
taken matters in their own
hands, broken loose from the
car, left the driver to contemplate the
picture of their flying feet and taking
leg bail for all there was out.
1t is to be presumed that the officers of
the company are not aware of the con-
duct of their mules, or they would take
precautions against these antics. Ser
ious injury, if not death, may result from
such unmanageable animals.

Inglewood Voters.

There are already registered in the
precinct OF Inglewood 112 voters. There
are presumably some electors there as
elswhere who have not yet put their
names on the list. There are also prob
ably not few residents of that place
who are not long enough in the State to
be allowed to vote. This is true of all
this section.
Now one year age there was no such
place as Inglewood, and all this popula-
ton indicated by say $50 voters has
grown up there in the last
And of such are all the new towns of
South California. They grow apace.

The Jarbeau Company Drawing
Good Houses.
A fairly good house, better upstairs
than below, was present last night at the
second presentation of Starlight, by Miss
Jarbeau and her company. The 'star"
herself has made decided hit here.
The vein with which she enters into her
work, her pleasing singing, dancing and
pretty costuming are all very attractive.
She is more than vigorous. She is artis-
tic in her every pose and gesture.
Mr.. Martin O'Neill has also made him
self immensely popular in the two nights
he has appeared before the audience at
the Grand. He is equally effective in
the role of Irish exile and of the New
York "Capper." The play runs all the
week.

Courtesy m Church.


Do we treat feilow-worshipers with the
same formal courtesy that prevails among
the people of the world; or do we realize
that. being jewellers in a spiritual home.
there is something peculiarly tender in
our relationship? Within church bonds,
the terms brethren and sisters ought 10
mean a great deal. In these times, when
the spirit OF evangelical alliance and con-
cord is in the air, it is pitilul sight 20 see
men running here and there with out
stretched hands, forming new associations
and laying down lines OF agreement when
they have not yet learned the founda-
ton principles OF true Christian fell
lowship in their own church. They
are PROGRESSING charity which
ought TO be first and always displayed
in their own church home. but it is not;
and are thus proclaiming themselves liars,
according TO Johns plainly expressed
judgment. The brother whose life in his
particular spiritual home is marked by
Christian courtesy--a kindness springing
from n warm and loyal hearts the only
one TO whom the formation Of an inter
denominational alliance may be intrusted
safely True politencss ought TO be an
easy requirement. The emotional and
elusive man may seem the pink of eour-
tesy; he is. in truth. n most uncertain
friend. A slave of sentiment is usually n
time.scryer. But the man of firm conyic-
tons rs 60 his dependence on n higher
power and the direct control Of that power
over his own and other lives, naturallytrcats
with respect and consideration every OBJ
iCct OF divine concern. With him cOur-
tesy will be the spontaneous expression
oil a tender conscience and loving heart.

GEN. GRANTS LUCK.
How Mercenary Publishers Sought His Man
usCript
-Chlcago Tlmes.l

lChicago Tlmes.l
Leonard SWEET told an interesting story
the other day, Illustrative Of Gen. Grant s
traditional good luck, as well as his lack OF
what is called shrewdness in commercial
dealings When Grant was engaged in
writing hsmemoirs the Century company
which had been publishing some of his
war articles in the Century Magazine, Of
fered him $4,000 for the manuscript Of his
book. Webster. the publisher, also had
his eye on the alert for the forthcoming
work, and one day called on the general
TO inquire abont it. Grant was seated at
his desk, about TO attach his signature TO
the Ceaturg company's contract, which lay
before him. 1t had apparently never oc-
cured 10 him TO ask more for his literary
production. Webster intimated that he
would like to make an offer
Gift would not be impcrtinent," he said,
~ would like to inquire how much the
Century company agrees TO pay your
Ten thousand dollars" Gen. Grant
said
"Then wouldn't sign that contract just
yet" said Webster.
"Why notY'
Because | viii pay you $4,000"
Gen. Grant opened his eyes in amaze
ment. 1t had not occurred to him to set so
high value on his work; he had not
thought OF diclering beyond the first oHer.
But he did not sign the contract.
Afterward Mark Twain. Webster's rela-
tive and business partner, called and told
the general that none OF the publishers
had offered him what his manuscript was
worth. 81 viii give you 100000 and roy
atty" he said. So Webster & Co. became
Grants publishers. The firm has grown
rich out of Grants book, and Grants fam
lily has been paid over 100000.
"And Grants book" said Mr. SWEET, in
conclusion. "will become a classic more
valuable than Caesars Commentaries.
consider it the greatest achievement of
Gen. Grants wonderful life to have writ
TIM such a work with death looking over
his shoulders"
