Los Angeles.

Los ANGELES, CAL, January TO-
Especial. If the climate of Los An
geles is comfortable and enjoyable in
the summer season, what shall be said
of it in the winter? Such weather as
prevails here during what the calen-
dar sets down as the winter months"
is enough to make a man from the
East "swear OFF, from ever more liv-
ing in that snow-bound. ice-covered,
storm-ridden region. With the ex-
ception of an occasional rainy day the
weather is almost as nearly perfect as
it could be. The skies are bright, the
sunshine is warm and genial, and the
nights are usually just about cold
enough to be agreeable. Occasionally
there is white frost, and very
few times during the winter the
temperature gets low enough to form
a thin coating of ice on water exposed
to the air in the lowest localities. But
vegetation suffers no detriment from
these gentle cold spells. They are &C.
compapied by no wind worth noticing,
and after the frostiest night the sun
soon warns up the earth and all vege-
tation, SO that even the tenderest
flowers look as bright and smell as
sweet as if the climate were absolute
ly tropical. Indeed. the winter here
is emphatically the season for flowers
and it is during the winter months
and March and April that Los Angeles
wears her most beautiful floral robes.

man gives so fairly truth
full an account of us as Mr.. Moran
has.

are SO rare that they become memor-
able for years thereafter. To fully
appreciate the extremity Of cold like
this one must recall to mind that the
Arctic explorers when in 20 to 80
degrees north latitude, and in January
and February, the thermometers usu-
ally indicated only 25 to so degrees.
In rare instances the alcohol sank to
lower points. DR.. Kane one day re-
ports that his instruments all pointed to
from 65 to 20 degrees, one thermometer
being at rs degrees. From careful OBJ
servations and reductions he set down
the temperature at 6S degrees below
zero by Fahrenheit's thermometer.
Captain Parry claims that his party
in the month of January, and in
north latitude about so degrees, on
one occasion experienced minus
75 degrees. But he confesses
that there was a difference of
fully ten degrees between his
instruments. Alcohol freezes at
minus 1872 degrees Fahr. But at tenn
peratures ranging below minus so
degrees the contraction of the fluid is
very irregular. 1t is hard, therefore,
to say just how cold the
weather is under such circumstances.
But we know that go degrees plus is
about the normal temperature. We
also fully realize how far from physi-
cal comfort we are when the freezing
point of water, or 30 degrees plus, is
reached by the circumambient air.
At zero, 32 degrees lower lit the scale,
it becomes struggle for life, and at a
drop to 80 degrees below zero, the
struggle is intense. with the chances
in favor of the cold. When such a
pitch as minus 6S degrees is encoun-
tered-that is, an even 100 degrees
below the freezing point of water
and 127 degrees below the normal
point which has been assumed
to be plus 60 degrees - here
life becomes almost impossible. In
the region where this unwonted tenn
perature has reached the lowest ex-
treme hundreds have died. The weak
perish in dozens under the best cir
cumstances. The strong have to sue
cumb if exposed to the fury of such a
dispensation. We can we'll believe
the statement made by physicianrfn
Dakota that the full extent of the
suffering and casualties will never be-
come known. Many perished by
lonely death far from comfort or
friends. And of those whose death
is well known the facts will not be
made puolic in half the cases.

The great city hall swap seems to
be in q dormant condition. But it
will be well to watch it, for it is
among the things possible that it is
only taking 'possum sleep. Public
opinion is certainly strongly against
the scheme; but public opinion is not
always active. 1t sometimes requires
quite vigorous shaking up to
bring it out Of its wonted
lethargy. But when fully aroused its
behtsts are irresistible. The people on
the east size Of the river held meet
ing two nights ago to discuss local
matters. In the course ~ The pro-
ceedings it came out that there was al
unanimous feeling against the City
Hall scheme. The feeling oonfound.
expression in a series of resolutions
e,-ergetically denouncing the snap,
and calling upon the repre-
sentatives of the people to oppose it.
They also advised that the question
should not be submitted to popular
vote. This is good advice just now.
AS it is, there is no need of an cleo
ton to find out how the the people
stand. If, however, the scheme
should be resurrected and become
formidable, then it will be well to
resort to a popular vote on the sub
ject. The press will warn the people
in time.

The Excessive Cold.

Never in recent times has weather
70 extremely cold visited the
northern portion of this continent as
that prevailing for the last two or
three weeks. The section embracing
the States of Minnesota and Wiscon-
sin and the Territory of Dakota have
nuffered from cold such as is not usu-
ally experienced outside the Artic
Circle. Indeed, in exceptional cases
points have been reached which al
most discount the worst cold encoun-
tered by the Artic explorers. Many
localities report the thermometer as at
from 40 to so degrees below zero. and
Chippewa Falls, in the northwestern
portion of Wisconsin, has sent in tho
really polar temperature of So degrees
below zero. This is the second time
II I week for points in the Badger
state to complain of such an un-
roralleled degree Of cold. Heretofore
50 degrees below zero has been con-
cidered exceptionally cold weather in
|1hose regions, and while in Mime

The Kiralfys Tonight.

Tonight the Kiralfys will open at
the Grand Opera House in around the
World IN so Days, and there will not
be vacant seat in the house. There
have arrived for this production two
carloads of scenery, the same as used
in San Francisco and elsewhere. This
stage setting is said to be magnificent,
and to add greatly to the interest of
the piece, which has never failed to
be a drawing attraction. The cast
will include Newton. Gotthold, John
Malone, j. H. Fitzgerald, Max Fig
man, Miss Eleanor Carey and Mrs.
Charlotte Dean. The Indian trick
elephant, "Parnell," treads the boards
in portions of the piece, and takes his
part we'll. Among the other attrac-
tions of the play is the grand Ballet
of Laces, which displays many fancy
foreign laces. Bolossy Kiralfy's oper-
eta ballet is also given, and both are
led by Bella, Paris and Nicode. The
production will be on a grand scale
and will be seen by nearly everybody.

Reta Theta Pi Banquet.

The first annual meeting of this
College Greek Society was held Satur-
day night at the Nadeau. The mem
bership consists OF former collegiates
and members of the fraternity living
in Southern California. There are
about forty already reported. The or
ganization is permanent in character,
and definite action was taken looking
towards making it broad and useful
in its principals and purposes and
more than merely social and convi-
vial to the actual members.
The menu was the most elegant
ever spread at the Nadeau, and the
boys showed their appreciation in an
unmistakable way. A large number
of toasts and songs followed the ban
quet and extended past midnight.
There was great enthusiasm, and the
memories of college life came back
with freshness and all present were
"boys again" for one night. Nearly
thirty were present.

AN attempt is being made to prove
a point against the Democratic House,
in showing that the majority Of the
committees are headed by Southern
members. Sectionalism has nothing
to do with this matter. The reference
to it is sectional, and it is made for
the purpose of creating sectional feel
ing. 1t would be much fairer to say
that a majority Of the chairmanships
were bestowed on Representatives
from Democratic States. But
that fairness would not answer
the intention of those who would re-
vive sectional animosity. Now, as a
matter of fact, the Republican Senate

she held that until well into the sew

semi-tropic county bears the palm by

times as much as Alameda.
There is this to be said-and it is

much too high as compared
with the other counties. This we
have insisted upon for nearly

is refreshing now to read this confes-

EDITORS HERALD Some years ago,

lIll1 ClEhhhO NON, AND
BY JOHN C. FREMONT.
Long years ago wandered here,
In the midsummer of the year,
Life's summer, too;
A score of horsemen here we rode,
The mountainworld its glories showed,
All fair the view.
These scenes in glowing colors drest,
Mirrored the life within my breast,
Its world of hope;
The whispering woods and fragrant breeze
That stirred the grass in verdant seas
On billowly slope.
Now changed the scene, and changed the
eyes
That here once looked on glowing skies,
Where summer smiled;
The riven trees and wind-swept plain
Now showed the winters dread domain,
Its fury wild.
The rocks rise black from storm packed
snow,
All checked the rivers pleasant flow,
Vanished the bloom;
These dreary waists of frozen plain
Reflect my bosom's life again,
Now lonesome gloom.
The buoyant hopes and busy life
Have ended all in hateful strife,
And thwarted aim.
The worlds rude contact killed the rose,
No more its radient color shows
False roads to fame,
Backward, amidst the twilight glow,
Some lingering spots yet brightly show,
On hard roads won;
Where still some grand peaks mark the way
Touched by the light of parting day =. = 9.
And memory's sun.
But here, thick clouds the mountain hide,
The dim horizon, black and wide,
No pathway shows;
And rising gusts and darkenlng sky
Tell of the night that cometh nigh,
The brief day s close.
