THREE PRESENTATIONS.
County Officers Surprised BY Their
Friends.

Officers Surprised BY Their
Friends.
A very agreeable presentation surprise
party took place yesterday evening at the
rooms of the Lawson Patrol Agency, in
the Lanfranco block. The friends of
Martin Aguirre, the newly elected Sheriff
of Los Angeles county, decided to make
him some sort of fitting return for the
many kind offices he had done them.
While they were making arrangements
for this affair they ran upon similar
scheme which was on foot to reward 81.
S. Clement, one of the new Republican
constables. The friends of Frank P.
Kelley were about to start a movement
to make themselves pleasantly re-
membered by him, and on consulta-
ton the three parties decided to pool
their issues and celebrate at the same
time. Each of the three was informed
of the plan to reward the others, and in
this way they were all inveigled to the
appointed place at the desired time.
About fifty others were present, promin-
ent politicians, members of the press and
friends of the three victims. General
Briefly was made chairman of the meet
ing, and the ceremony opened by neat
speech by Frank r. Kelley presenting
Constable Clements with handsome
gold badge. After suitable response
BY Clement, the assembly took a glass
|of champagne and proceeded to the
next order of business. Henry
7. Hazard, in an eloquent speech,
told Martin Aguirre of the high
estimation in which he was held by his
friends, and placed an elegant gold badge
upon his manly chest. Aguirre replied
in a feeling manner, and Captain Law
son, ably assisted by Captain Moody
did the hospitable act again. Genera
Briefly then took the floor, and with
some very humorous remarks, presented
handsome gold watch chain to f. P
Kelley, the next District Attorney. Afte
listening to some bright hits by Mr.
Kelley and drinking some more cham
pagne, the company took their departure
unanimously of the opinion that it wa
an exceptionally agreeable affair.

Charged with Burglary.

Albert Young, the waiter who is &C.
cused of burglary by H. Benedict, another
of the same profession, was examined by
swer in bail OF $500. The crime is said
to have been committed on the 9th of
last month at No. 724 West Sixth street,
where Benedict occupied a room. He
saws that he had wallet containing $500
and that it mysteriously disappeared
from his room. Suspecting Young he
told him of the loss and conveyed the
important information that part of the
money was sealed up in secret part OF
the wallet. Young thereupon secured
the services of plumber and began to
search in a waste-pipe in the house where
he was rooming. This satisfied Benedict
that he had found the thief and he swore
out the complaint.

The figures that express this company
are as large as the financial statements of
many government s assets, one hundred

The company states that no other in

growth, or has done as much for the
benefit of mankind. Two hundred and
seventy millions in forty five years, In
death claims and the like. Many Com
panies claiming to make a respect

as this Company has of surplus.
1t is claimed that no other company
has given the same general satisfaction
to policy holders-a claim which we
believe to be well grounded. The Com

Maine last year, fact that shows its
power and popularity, and is said to be
as much as the next four most successful

Mrs. LIyermore's Visit.

The audience which gathered In Co
burn Hall, Friday evening, to hear MIS-.
Mary A. Livermore's lecture on "Women
of the War" was much smaller one
than WAS to be expected both from the
emineDce Of the speaker and the nature
of her subject. The lecture was a most
entertaining one.
Mrs. Llvermore's experience as a nurse
during the war brought her into contact
with many of the women Of whom She
spoke, and her enthusiastic ap2ee@'t ION
Of woman's part in this great Struggle
met with a ready response III the mines
of her hearers
Notwithstanding the Intense cold 81
Saturday evening, the parlors OF Mrs
X. White were well filled by members Of
the Sorosis and Womans hub, before
whom Mrs. Livermore gave a brilliant
and interesting talk in favor Of woman
suffrage, her subject being The Reason
Why" Although many of the lHdies
present did not agree with Mrs. Liver
more's views aS thus expressed, the unan-
imous verdict was that her manner OF
presenting them was clear and forcible.
The thanks of both clubs are due Mrs
White for her generous hospitality on this
occasion.
Mrs Liyermore delivered very power
full and interesting lecture in the lniver-
sa lat church, Sunday evening, upon the
subject Immortality, treating 1t from
the standp lint Of reason and outside OF
the revelation an d teachings of the Bible.
She said there was enough in the Word
of God to establish the doctrine, but this
phase of the su bject was more commonly
treated than the Que She proposed The

and forcible discourse. Music was fur
