Interesting Sessions Throughout
she Day-an Evening Concert.
The exercises at the Assembly at Long
Beach yesterday were quite interesting
AT 8 O'Clock in the morning the devo-
tional exercises were led by Leslie Gay.
The Pastors College was presided over
by Rev. j. B. Green. Rev. J. G. Nc
MILAN first addressed the Assembly on
the question, ''Ought Minister to Have
a Hobby" He said: 81 believe in
hobbies. l believe men of hobbies have
carried on the progress of the world.
Like bicycle. hobby is a hard thing
to ride; but men who are accomplishing
much today in the world of human
knowledge and experience are all men OF
q hobby. A hobby is single idea, fill
ing the soul and absorbing the energies
of person. Alexander and Napoleon,
Angelo and Raphael, Watt and Stephen,
Calvin and Luther, Stanley and Bancroft,
these men were all permeat ID with
one idea, the whole purpose of their
lives being centered on one object. Pc
lissy, the potter, was such lobbyist
that his wife left him, and the people
called him crazy. Paul and even Christ
were men Of hobby. Ministers of to-
day should have one hobby, and that the
salvation Of their fellow-men."
A very lively discussion followed.
Next came a paper on "Church Music, "
by Rev. J. H. Henry. A high tribute
was paid to the power of song. "Our
church hymnal cannot be too highly
praised, and it is much to be regretted
that in many of our churches our hym-
nal is relegated into some corner to give

The Los Angeles General Hospital.

The committee appointed to formulate

ton of General Hospital in this city,
has met with very gratifying success in
enlisting the interest of representative

esed in the project of the hospital will

THE TROUBLESOME TOALS.
The He TOal Tells His story of the
Cutting.

Yesterday morning the trial of Frank
Toal for cutting his wife in the face in a
frightful manner in April last was
resumed. Mrs. Matheson, neighbor
who saw what OF the affray took place
in the street, stated that she saw Mrs.
Toal strike at her husband two or three
times. Then Toal caught her and threw
her to the ground. He then knelt down
by her side, and she saw his arms work
ing back and forth. She was not near
enough to see the knife or its
effect from where she stood,
but she saw Mrs. Toal afterwards,
and the picture she drew of Mrs. Toal's
condition was dreadful. She did not
know, from her own knowledge, as to
Mrs. Tosl's habits.
Mrs. Vorea, another neighbo-, testified
to the condition of Mrs. Toal after the
cutting; she had not seen the affair
Her boy, seven years old, saw Toal cut
his wife, but az he did not satisfy the
court that he knew fully the nature of
an oath, he was not allowed to testify.
]. w. Sykes was put on by the prose-
cution. He did not gee the cutting. He
only saw Mrs. Toal after it was done.
J. F. Mcguire, the police officer who
went to Toal's house. told of the condi-
ton in which he found Mrs. Toal.
j. E. Wheaton, ane ther officer, testi-
fed to Mrs. Toal's face being badly cut.
F. II. Steele, the officer who arrested
Toal, testified as to that event. When
taken to the police station, on being
searched, knife was found on his per-
son. When it u as taken from him he
remarked in substance: THAT is the
knife used in cutting her."
The police surgeon testified as to the
wounds.
The defense put on Andrew Toal and
Mrs. Andrew Toal, who testified to the
drunken habits of Mrs. Frank Toal, and
as to her bad temper when drunk.
Frank Toal himself was put on in his
own behalf. His story was substan-
TALLY that told by his wife. Perhaps the
jury will hesitate to believe him when
he stated that he did not cut his wife at
all. That the wounds were all inflicted
by the knife while in the hands of his
wife, and while he was trying to wrest it
from her in self-defense. 1t will require
long stretch of the imagination to take
that in.
The case goes over until Monday for
argument. 1t is hard to see how the
jury can find verdict of guilty from the
testimony before them, and of course
they cannot find on any other grounds
than that testimony. Toal may be ac-
quilted on it /; and if he is not the jury
will not agree.

Play-goers in all parts of the world re-
member what run it had, and what a
craze it created. After ten years. rest ii
is being revived in all the cities where
the English language is spoken, and
everywhere it is drawing with great
success. Men and women who heard it
when they were boys and girls want to
see if its spell is as potent now as in their
csllow youth. Those who went to laugh
at ''Dick Dead Eye" when they were
young people, counting, are going to see
how the old airs and gags" will sound
now that they have three or four "clve
branches" to grace their tables. Los
Angeles will not be an exception. There
are thousands here who must confess
judgment to the charge that they were as
crazy as the rest of the world to hear
about "his sisters and his cousins, and
his aunts." The Los Angeles Theatre
will be well attended this week to hear it
all again.

Second Street.

Now that the Burdick block is about
completed, good sidewalks are being laid
along the property on Second street.
1t is to be hoped that this programme
will be extended so as to take in all the
block between Spring and Main. In
deed, Second street, all the length to the
Santa Fe depot, ought to be put in order.
1t is far from being good street as it
stands. There are disputes as to the city's
rights to part Of this street which need to
be settled at once. There does not seem
to be any valid ground for the with.
drawal OF the street or any portion of il

rejoice il Mr.. Mcfarland will push the
suit in the courts.

We hope our friends will excuse us from
giving any further space to the Base Bal
racket. We know that the public has suf
hciency.-GreenUood Times.
Correct, brother; the Press and Banner Will
henceforth rule out base ball items. Besides
being of no special interest to any
considerable number Of persons, there isn't &
man on the face Of the earth who could salts
factorlIy report the cause. progress, and result
OF base ball fight. We are almost persuad
ed that match games of base ball should be
prohibited by the corporate authorities. i
there Is anything that will stir up more bad
blood, and excite young gentlemen to the say
ing OF more unkind things Of their friends
than a match game of base ball. we haven't
heard OF It. If there is anything more likely
to induce betting, or gambling, than match
game Of base ball, we do not know what it is
A horse race couldn't be compared to it.
While community of young gentlemen
may play the game among themselves with
perfect impunity, yet match game is quite
another thing. We leave it for others 10 say
If a match game Of base ball is not more cor
rupting than either dancing parties, amateur
theatricsls, hot suppers, or horse racing.
II we are obliged to have either, let US have
the least OF these evils. An unwholesome
supper at late hour OF the night, on which
an indefinite quantity of ice-cold lemonade
has been thrown, can only destroy the diges-
tive powers of the stomach, and ut worst, kill
the body. Isn't it better to destroy the stom-
ach and kill the body of indiscreet, but zeal
Gus friends of the beathen than to everlast-
ingly destroy the immortal souls of the roor
fools who make slop tanks of their stomachs ?

The annual Commencement of tho Green
wood Female College came or last week llth,
10th and 18th. The occasion was one that has
been looked forward to with Il degree OF pleas.
ure by the people of Greenwood and coinmu-
nifty. 1t is an occasion that is of Il most ell
tcrtaining nature, as is all College Commences
mentS, and to say that it was largely attended
does by no means express or give an idea OF
the meaning. Visitors commenced coming in
last week and the influx was steady. There
were visitors from all the towns adjacent to
this place and some from q distance. Every
one looked forward to season of pleasure
and feStivity.
The ladies Of the College had made extra
preparation for the Commencement and had
prepared for the spectators feast of litcra-
ture, music and pleasure not exceeded by any
Of our larger Colleges.
We gave an account in the last issue Of the
Press and Banner of the impressive sermon OF
Rev. w. T. Hundley, of Johnston. S. G.; so we
will commence with the literary and other
exercises which commenced on tuesday
night of Commencement week. The house
was packed TO overlooking. The halls, corrl-
dors, stairwayS and everywhere else was Il
solid mass OF almost suitocating humanity.
The heat was intense and almost unbcalab!c,
the Chapel was crowded and jammed to an en-
tent that made one most uncomiOrtahle. EF-
cry available spot that Il foot could cover was
occupied. The eentranceS were crowded as far
hack as the eye could reach. The balcony
was equally as full and it was rs diilcnlt u
get out as it was to get i'll. Everybody was
warm ana pefSplrlng, ana rams, natS, hun1,
kerchiefs, gloves or anything else that could
stir breeze was kept continually IN motion.
Women, men, boys, girls and children We're
jammed into almost one solid mass of perS-
piring humanity. The chapel displayed a
galaxy Of living faces that was uncountable.
The halls below were beautifully bedecked
with handsome drawings and paintings. tne
work OF the students i'm the art department.
They were tastily arranged and sh' wed OH 10
excellent advantage. OF this though we VIII
speak In its place.
The anxious audience thundercd impatient
applause for the first on programme, and was
uproarous when Miss Giles stepped to the pl-
ano and commenced playing u march, when
the whole school filed in. The following is
the
