RAYS LIBEL SUIT.

The "Times,, Gets the Case POST
pOned-SensatiOnal
The case of w. A. Ray against the
Tsmes-Mirror Company came up yester-
day before Judge Shaw. Last March
the Times published sensational story
alleging that W. A. Ray, President of the
San Gabriel Valley Bank of Pasadena,
had seduced and betrayed very beauti-
full young lady of that place. The story
was to the effect that Ray boarded with
the girls mother, and while in the house
betrayed her. She was alleged to bo
quite young, and narrowing story was
told. Ray is an old man, sixty years
perhaps, with head and beard as white
as snow. He is very respectable look
ing old gentleman, and the last thing
one would think Of is lechery
in him. He was shining
light in one of the churches, and an
ornament to the rather exclusive society
that takes pride in living in the Grown
of the Valley. Ray at once, on the pub
lication OF the article in question, re-
signed his position in the bank and other
wise secluded himself. He also brought
suit against the Tsmes-Mirror Company
for $50, 900 damages.
All this was very sensational, but it's
chiaro-oscuro effects were all eclipsed yes
terday when, on motion to continue
the case, Colonel III. @. Otis, President
of the company, read an affidavit in
court setting forth what he could prove
if the delay were allowed him. When
the attorneys for the paper filed this
affidavit, there was silence that might
be felt in the court. Rays attorney, w.
I. Williams, was manifestly taken
aback, and s. M. White and Henry
T. Gage, counsel for the company,
enjoyed the fun. The affidavit is
quite long, and aeks to be allowed to pro-
cure the celebrated Pinkerton OF detective
fame to show up the character OF Ray
who dwelt in Chicago prior to coming to
Pasadena. The affidavit claims that it
can be proven that Ray, while living in
Chicago, was the associate of women
OF questionable character" It alleges
that young lady, Alvina Mckee, was
the center of q tragedy" in which the
banker played the part of heavy villain.
The story is that Ray was very intimate
with Miss Mckee. That he won her
confidence to great degree, and when
she was in need of money he promised
her $400 on condition that she mort
gage to him a bit of property
she held. The mortgage was
given, but Ray failed to pay the money
He then began proceedings to foreclese
the mortgage, and Constable was sent
to Miss McKee's house to serve some
papers. and she shot him. His name
was MIR. Ellicott. When Ray appeared
on the floor of the Board Of Trade he was
''hooted and hissed" by his fellow mem
bers. The affidavit alleges that he
WAS dishonest man." de-
stroyer Of feminine happiness" thai
go bad was his reputation in Chicago he
was forced to sell out to his partner and
seek "a more congenial clime." Miss

In A NEW PLACE.
R. w. ELLIS a. OOPS Drug Store In
the Los Angeles Theater.

tMC Rus AhsA OtCD hChkCEs
DR.. r. W. Ellis, who is one of the old
est and best known druggists in the city,
has recently opened new establishment
in the Los Angeles Theater building, on
Spring street. 1t is one Of the most
elegantly furnished stores to be found in
the city. The room is handsomely dec
Grated in the latest style. At he.front
and near the large windows is q fine
mirror set in an elegant frame. The
showcases are mounted upon counters of
terra Gotta worked in beautiful designs.
Everything about the establishment in
the way of furnishing shows good taste
and desire on the part of the proprietors
to please the public.
DIR. Ellis hes been in the drug business
in this city good many years, and dur
ing that time has acquired large circle
of friends among his customers. A man
will finally come to have the same kind
of confidence in his druggist that he has
in his pbysician-that is to say when, as
in this case, the druggist is worthy of it.
The DOCTORS clerks are tried and expe-
rienced men, who can be relied upon to
put up prescriptions with the best mate
rials, exactly as they are ordered by
physicians. The establishment is one
which can worthily enjoy to the highest
degree the confidence Of all who deal
with it.
The store is conveniently located, and
will draw considerable amount of the
best custom Of the locality. 1t is we'll
stocked with all the various toilet articles
which drug stores are accustomed to
carry, as well as full line of surgical
instruments. 1t stands high among the
very best establishments Of ita kind in the

Mckee is quoted as saying that Ray
six weeks after his wife died wanted her

SHOES FOR SPORTSMEN.

How to Be Prepared for Attacks from
 Gators and RattIers.
 A Florida correspondent of Outing gives the following useful instructions: ''Tweed clothes of light color and loosely texture should be worn for Florida sport ing, as it is warm shooting there even in midwinter. When shooting or outing generally it is much better to increase the thickness and warmth of the underclothing as the coolness of weather renders such ad- visable than to cucumber one's movements by heavy coats and trousers. A pair of thick, oil-tanned gram leather knee boots, with legs made narrow as permissible, to be worn with thick-ribbed long hose, will be found the best shoeing to be used in the Florida bottoms. The long boots, coming over the buttonings of the snug-fitting knee-breeches of whipcord-not knicker- lockers, mind you-where they fasten just above the swell of the calf, will be found the most comfortable and consistent rig, whether splashing through the sloppy prairies, along the river after snipe, or tramping the waste fields in the clearln gs between the pine woods. Should you wear ankle boots and the baggy knickerbockers, as an indispensable precaution against the musical and larksome rattler.
 "A day with the aliigators is not bad sport when properly undertaken and pro- vided for; and the hide, teeth and feet will put you in possession of much valuable material to be made into bags, leggings, slippers, shoes, whistles and gun-racks. But since the utility of the gators hide has been discovered, they, too, are fast disap- bearing from the places where they former ly abounded"

THE NIHILIsTs regard the death of Count Tolstoi as the greatest misfortune that has befallen their cause for many years. The count was beyond all ques- tion the most thoroughly detested min ister in Europe. His acts of tyranny really preserved him from the vengeance of the revolutionists. who had the good sense to realize that as long as he re- mained in the czar's cabinet the unpop. ularity of the government was bound to go on increasing. It is for this reason they look upon his death in the light of a calamity to their cause.

admission of its author that it ought to be amended in accordance with the gov ernor's suggestion. They wanted the glory, as they termed it, of passing an [" Australian bill, !" but would not give attention to the idea of an American 1e-
 form for American elections. Their rpur-
 pose was to keep the suffrage laws in
 such condition that corruption funds
 can control the voting, and they rely on
 their own fecundity in creating ''ceil-
 ing" jobs to produce plenty of cash to
 bring repeaters over the borders from other communities and to buy up the |" foaters in blocks of five
 The fact is the republicans are chiefly
 desirous of reforming other people, elections Whenever they can do what
 they please at the polling places they
 are quite willing to permit both the laws
 and the customs to remain as they are, as we have seen in Connecticut where they have no use for minority represen-
 tation where they can gobble the whole
 business. As they want the privilege of buying up New York again as they did last fall they conspired to submit bill to Governor Hill that no honest execu- tive could approve The governors veto was what they wanted and expected, but it might be remarked that in veto- ing the Saxton bill the governor hasn't fallen into hole.
 The republican party of New York, not Governor Hill, goes on record as op- posed to ballot reform.

THE SANTON BILL VETOED.

AS was expected, Governor Hill has vetoed the so-called Saxton electoral re- form bill, his message being received last evening in the assembly. He could not have done otherwise and be consist ent, for the republicans insisted on re fusing to amend the bill as suggested previously by the governor. Though in favor of secret ballot, one that would protect the right of the voter to cast his ballot according to his desires and that would reduce or altogether prevent bribery, he finds in the Saxton bill as it came to him certain provisions that did not consist with his views of the consti- tuition. What these are the governor tells in his ow Il inimitable way
 There is one thing that Governor Hill has shown himself in all his vetoes, and that is consistent. Even when his personal preferences would have led him to sign certain measures-Such, for instance, as the Cantor bill preserving the Polo grounds for base ball-he has refused to abate his rigid regard for the constitu
 tion And in vetoing the Saxton bill he has again proved that he will not abate one jot of his love for constitutional methods. When the republicans in the assembly refused to assent to Governor Hills proposition for a general registra- tion to apply to the republican interior as we'll as to the large democratic cities they knew full well that they were mak- ing it impossible for Governor Hill to sign the bill He could see no reason for making fish of republicans and flesh of democrats, as Governor Bulkeley and the republican party of Connecticut do in putting personal registration on towns of more than 5000 inhabitants. They knew full we'll that in the form they made it the Saxton bill was sure to be vetoed by Governor Hill, and yet with that desire to "put the governor in a hole" which is their ideal of legislation they steadily re- fused to alter it, notwithstanding the

And still they come. Lieutenant Par ker of the navy, who has been detailed to act as secretary of the Samoan com mission, is marrled to a niece of Mrs Harrison.
