ern california Board of Trade.


ern california Board of Trade.
A meeting of delegates from the var
ious Boards of Trade and other similar
organizations in this section of the State
to complete the founding of the Southern
California Board of Trade took place in
the rooms of the Los Angeles Board
of Trade Thursday afternoon. The
following were present: East Los
Angeles Board of Trade, James Hanley,
D. Guilbert Dexter, F. r. Willis; Los
Angeles Chamber of Commerce, Major
f. w. Jones, G.. E. Day and w. +.
Hughes; Los Angeles Board of Trade,
F. Lambourn, w. j. Broderick, G. II.
Dunton; San Bernardino, r. F. Gun
ningham, and H. L. Drew; Elsinore, d.
M. Frazier; Santa Ana, W. s. Taylor,
r. J. Blee, N. Nicholsburg; Redlands,
w. E. Sibley; Alhambra, W. H. Whit
temore; Pasadena, Judge E. Knight,
Colonel Ray, Hon. w. U. Masters
Orange, G. M. Craddock.
Hon. w, H. Workman was elected
permanent President of fthe organization
under the constitution which was pre-
pared by committee appointed at the
last meeting. The other officers will be
chosen by the Executive Committee.
The greater part OF the time of the
session was spent in the discussion of the
proposed constitution and the aims and
objects of the organization. 1t was the
general sentiment that the expenses at
the outset should be made as small as
possible, and in proportion to the means
of the sections represented. Many
schemes, such as permanent exhibit in
Los Angeles, and a more organized effort
at inducing immigration were discussed,
but the general view seemed to be that
they had better be deferred until the
organization is in better shape.
The Southern California Board Of
Trade is to be composed of various trade
organizations in the Southern part of the
State, represented by a delegate il the
Board OF Directors. The next meeting
of the Board of Directors is called for the
7th of March. and will be held in Los
Angeles,

What Mr. Threlkeld Has Done for
His Ward.

He succeeded in securing the appoint
ment of Street Superintendent from
Boyle Heights.
He opposed the West sewer project
whereby the city would have been
mulcted in large sum for the benefit,
not of the whole people, but of few
schemers.
He secured garbage wagons for the ac-
Heights.
He has secured for Boyle and Brooklyn
Heights the following electric lights, viz !:
One mast, 5000 candle power, at corner
Brooklyn avenue and Cornwall street !;
one mast, 5000 candle power, at corner
Michigan and Savannah streets; one
louisiana and Euclid avenues; one
5000 candle power light on Boyle avenue,
near the deep ravine south of the Hol-
lenbeck mansion; one 3 900 candle power
light at engine house on Virginia street,
and one 5000 candle power light near st.
Louis and First streets.
He succeeded in having Prospect Park
surveyed, and then got an appropriation
not to exceed $500, with which to start
the work OF improving said park.
he has introduced and passed through
the Council a resolution for a four "a
wheel hose wagon and 500 feet additional
hose for Boyle Heights.
He introduced and passed through the
Council movement toh have foot bridge
across the river at Aliso street and q 3 900
candle-power light placed on same.
The foregoing are some of the things
Mr.. Threlkeld has accomplished for his
ward during the six weeks he has been
in the Council.
1t would be we'll for the people of the
Ninth Ward to unite without regard to
party aud re-elect Mr.. T., as he combines
energy, tact and determination in all his
official movements. The people of the
Ninth Ward should stand as a unit in the
reelection Of Mr.. Threlkeld, as he has
been tried and proven himself to be just
the man they need. Better not exchange
4 certainty for an uncertainty.

Camnan.mi's Queer Failing.

Campanini, the once workmanship
ped tenor, is never comfortable unless
he has something TO chew. Meet him
where you will, and, if he is not sing
ing, his mouth is sure TO be filed with
some chewing material. Rumor has it
that to this Illuminating habit the nm
timely loss OF his voice is largely due.
Denied tobacco in every form, he has to
levy on drugs, herbs and groceries, and
will never pass bag of coffee or box
of dried fruits or stock OF sweet roots
without purchasing or plundering a
mouthful. During his last operate sea-
son he resorted TO prunes, which he
carried about in his vest pocket Mon
ely and fruit occupied the same pocket.
and il was not an unusual thing for the
tenor to take out a banknote to pay for
some purchase and have the shopkeep-
er pick off the dried berries or little
balls OF sugar before the identity of the
bill could be determined. His wife al
ways travelled with him. occupying the
same dressing-room in the theatre and
assisting in changing his costumes. His
sugar-coated, syrup-lined pockets were
the bane of his existence, and she wass
continually wiping them out with ben
zine or alcohol. When her husband
sang in concert she always put his white
gloves on just before his number. and
her last words as he was leaving the
wing were: Don't put your hand in
your pocket. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Torn TO Pieces by a Tiger.

The shocking death of female tam
er of wild beasts is reported from
Hohenmuth, in Bohemia. She was a
girl twenty-six years old, named Bertha
Baumgartner During a public per
Torrance in n strolling menagerie she
entered an empty cage, and the door OF
an adjoining cage was then opened TO
let a lion and IA Bengal tiger enter. The
lion walked in quietly, but the tiger, a
ferocious beast, which had three times
wounded its keepers, crouched in the
doorway and showed temper. The girl
lost nerve, cried for help, and slipped.
As she did so the tiger made spring,
bit her on the shoulder, then in the
throat, literally rent her to pieces, and
tossed her body about. Half the
audince ran TO the doors in horror,
while the attendants tried TO beat oil
the tiger by poking hot irons into the
cage. But the girl was dead long be-
fore the animal MAS driven away. The
lion seems to have been as much
frightened as the human spectators, for
he took no part in the clrnage. Vienna

BLANCHE AND NELL.
BY PAUL n. HAYNE.

o Blanche Is a city lady,
Bedecked in her silk and lace:
She walks with the mien OF a stately queen,
And queens imperious grace.
But Nell is a country maiden.
Her dress from the farmstead loom;
Her step is as free as a breeze at sea,
And her face is rose In bloom.
The house of Blanche is marvel
OF marble from base 10 dome;
II hath all things fair, and costly and rare,
But alas II is not-home!
Nell lives In lonely cottage
On the shores OF a wave washed isle;
And the life she leads, with its living deeds
The angels behold and smile.
Blanche finds her palace prison,
And oft, through the dreary years,
In her burdened breast there is sad unrest,
And her eyes are dimmed with tears.
But TO Nell her tolls are pastme,
(Tbough never till night they cease);
And her souls afioat like buoyant boat
On the crystal tides of peace.
All Blanche hath many n lover,
But she broodeth DER old regret;
And the shy, sweet red on her cheek Is
dead,
For the day star OF hope has set.
Fair Neil but single lover
Hath she in the wide, wide world
Yet warmly apart in her glowing heart
Love bides, with his pinions furled.
To Blanche all life seems Swallowed,
And she but ghost therein;
Thro' the misty gray of her Autumn day
Steal voices of grief and sin.
To Nell all life is sunshine,
All earth like fairy sod,
Where the roses grow, and the violets blow,
In the softest breath Of God.
What meaneth this mighty contrast
OF lives that we meet and mark
One bright as the flowers from May tide
showers,
One rayloss, somber, and darki

That neither will break nor bow,
That riddle hath vexed the thought per

yore:
