Experiences of a Man who Wanted
to Chans His shirt.

Experiences of a Man who Wanted
to Chanxe His shirt.
About IL o'clock yesterday morning a
man whose attire betokened that he be-
longed to the class that earns it's bread
by the sweat of the brow, came out of a
clothing store not very far from the
corner of First and Main streets in
Ia manner that showed that he
was not standing very much on the
order OF his going. He was closely fol-
lowed by three gentlemen descended
from the great race that Moses led
through the wilderness. and by their ex-
cited appearance and disheveled hair it
was evident that row had been going
on.
"What's the matter?" asked by
stander of the elected individual as he
brushed dust off mis- clothes that had
gathered by contact with the pave
ment."
81 went in that store on Saturday
night" was the reply, "and bought 16
shirt, as I thought. Yesterday morning
when went to put it on found that it
was 161a, so l folded it up again and
this morning l brought it back to the
establishment. 1 asked them to change
it and they called me fool, so slapped
it in their faces, and they all three set on
me and here am"
policeman had arrived in the mean
time and was anxious to be of service to
some one, but as neither side had any
charge to prefer all that he was required
to do was to disperse the crowd and with
it the man who wanted to change his
shirt.

Quite Satisfied.

DR.. G. 7. Barber, who is largely inter-
ested in the upper part of the county,
came in town yesterday. He says that
settlers are pouring in the district he rep
resents at a lively rate, and
that maps that were bare a
year ago are now thickly covered
with homestead marks. Many OF the
newcomers have been engaged in agri-
cultural pursuits in the East and express
themselves as thoroughly satisfied with
what they have found here, and are in
many instances writing to their former
homes for their friends to come and join
them.

A NEW MISSION.
The Emanuel Presbyterian Church
Established.

Established.
About 250 people assembled at the Los
Angeles College last night in response to
the call OF DIR. Chichester, the pastor of
the First Presbyterian Church. The
seating capacity of the building on the
corner Of Second and Fort streets has for
some time past proved inadequate to the
demands upon it, and last nights meet
ing was held for the purpose of organic
ing another congregation, and making
arrangements for an additional place OF
worship. The proceedings opened with
prayer and several songs, after which a
short sermon was delivered by the Rev.
DR.. Seward. and then business was
taken up. 1t was decided that on and
after the 3rd of October the new church
should be established temporarily in the
meeting room of the Los Angeles College
and that 100 persons from the present
Second street congregation should attend
the new establishment, which is to be
known as the Emanuel Presbyterian
Church. DIR. Chichester will take charge
OF the newly launched venture, but who
will be his successor at his present quar-
ters is not yet decided.

The Academy of Music.

Apples Congress of Varieties amused
another good house at the Academy Of
Music last night, and it was quite plain
to see that everyone went away satisfied
with the entertainment. The aerial
business Of the Silbons and the clown
act of the Dales is in itself sufficient to
induce large attendance, and the other
attractions are also we'll up to par. The
Australian trio made hit, and the Put
nam sisters added to the laurels which
they obtained on the opening night.

A highly important consideration in

A highly important consideration in
influencing men in the coming election
will be the business state of the country.
Whatever criticisms may be made of
President Cleveland, there has been no
safer President in the office within the
memory of this generation. Business
has never at any time received anything
but aid and strength from the policy of
of his administration, and those con-
cerned in it have entire confidence in the
Presidents wisdom and discretion. He
is entitled to support from this cause,
and especially when the schemes against
which he has to contend are remem-
bered. He will receive it.-[Boston Her

A False Ranarf.

A report came into the Station yester-
day evening that a woman had been
shot at the Somerset House on Fifth
street. The officers who went there
found +. A. Thompson considerably in
toxicated and smashing the furniture of
his room, but no one shot. He is mar
rled to pretty little woman who said
her life was rendered unhappy by his
dissolute habits. She said that last
night he came home intoxicated and
struck her several times. She managed
to escape from the room and he began to
throw things about and to try to pitch q
trunk out of the window. The officers
broke open the door and took him to the
Station. His wife refuses to testify
against him and he was charged with
being drunk.

Grand.
Miss Hettie Bernard Chase and her
selected company opened at the Grand
last night in Rags, the Wildcat. The
play is comedy with a good deal OF
music interspersed through the acts.
There is a plot in the play; but it is
more of the variety show order than OF
the regular drama. The business is
rather light, and no very exigeiit duty is
put on any member of the company.
The voices are hardly good; but
there are good many taking gags" in
the piece, good deal Of fun and much
material to raise laugh. The play is
largely addressed to the gallery, but it is
not devoid of merit. 1t was thoroughly
we'll received, especially upstairs. where
most of the audience was found. Miss
Chase's banjo performance is good. The
scene in the restaurant is decidedly
funny. Rags, the Wildcat, holds the
boards all this week.

An excavation was being made to get out
gravel and the bones were found about
two feet below the surface OF the ground.
The smaller bones were almost all de-
cayed and there we're no relics OF any
sort about the skeleton except some
scraps of coarse cloth. A woman who
lived near took the skull away as a
souvenir. The bones were those of a
man, but there is no possibility of imag-
lining when or why he was buried there.

OSTRICH RANCHING.
Better Results i'm California than
I'm Africa.

Messrs. J. R. Stone and E. P. Wright,
two of the gentlemen engaged in ostrich
farming in Southern California, arrived
in the city yesterday for the purpose OF
plucking the birds at Washington Gar
dens, the property of the former gentle
man. They state that the feather
crop this year will be a large and
valuable one and that it will average
over three pounds each OF the full grown
birds for the two pickings. AS the feath-
ers are worth $50 pound in their un-
dressed state it is evident what profit
able industry they are engaged in. The
feathers are much finer than those
Mr.. Cawston obtained when he was
over in South Africa couple of years
ago to purchase the birds now at the Nor
walk and Los Feliz farms in this county,
and from the healthy condition of the
ostriches, it is evident that they thrive
quite as we'll here as in their native land
The feathers obtained here are longer
and broader than those imported and
are free from the raggedness so fire.

A Santa barbara story.

On Sunday Detective Harris arrested
upon a telegram from Santa Barbara a
man named A. B. Hammond. The tele-
gram stated that Mr.. Hammond was
wanted for embezzlement. Yesterday
the Constable from Santa Barbara ap-
peared and took Mr.. Hammond to Santa
Barbara with him. 1t was stated that
the charge arose from some accounts
which Mr.. Hammond had not settled
when he left that city. In connection
with the case it was also stated that their
was woman concerned, that girl
whose father is in Deming had left Santa
Barbara with SIS 900 on her person, that
she was in love with Mr.. Hammond and
that the plan was to join him some
where and then both were to proceed
east. This story could not be corrobo-
rated and no names could be learned.
A friend of Mr.. Hammond's stated last
night that he would be able to settle the
case satisfactorily.
