The Nickel Trap.

The automatic weighing, electrical and lift
ing machines and other devices for getting
the public to drop nickels in a slot seem to be
as popular as ever, and the company owning
them is making barrel Of money every day.
The best patrons of the weighing machines,
according to a collecting agent, are actors
and actresses Many of the latter insist on
being weighed at the ferry every night on
their way home and often induce their escort
to give up two or three nickels so that there
can be no mistake. New York Journal

How Hats Are Worn.

The vain and amorous wear theirs sidewiSe.
The reflective wear theirs tilted back, but
with the chin lower.
Solid business men usually wear the hat
squarely over the brows.
The careless and praise loving wear theirs
tilted back, keeping the chin high.
The secretive, sly and unsocil wear their
hats tipped forward squarely over the brows.
An ancient hat, well brushed and always
worn, indicates man of means, shrewdneSS,
little senstiveness, method and miserliness-

rat in his mouth A word to the wise is suf-

from the professor dropped tho rat. The
boxing cats are an attractive feature. They
stand on their hind legs facing one another,
on two chairs, and fight quite scientifically
CATS HAVE No AFFECTION.
Portuguese cats make the best performers.
In Lisbon they take great interest in cats,
from their being the means of keeping the
streets clear OF mice, which would otherwise
readily get fOOthold there. An the cats in
Lisbon have lean appearance, from being
engaged in mice hunting. Black cats learn
easiest, and only one cat in three can be
trained at all Professor FTederckS' first
move is TO teach the cat to sit up and beg;
then they must creep through chairs and
crawl over the backs. After that they walk
across the stage on champagne bottles.
The professor holds the view of many peo-
pie that cats have no affection at all, though
they are SO fond of a single locality They
do at times show signs of affection, though
nothing like the cog or the horse Still, a
cat affection is largely dependent on being
fed regularly To make "a cat perform in a
private room Is quite another thing from
making it perform before an audience Still,
cats can be trained to care little about an
audience and to get over stage fright and,
like actors aud actresses, they very easily get
used to applause, though it is not asserted
that the cats. when once used to it, pine for
it, and gruuble about want Of appreciation
when they don't get it
But if a stranger crosses the boards when q
cat is performing the animal will pause and
look round at him inqulstively, like Iheo-
dore Thomas, if interrupted when leading his
orchestra Professor Fredericks' influence
over animals is natural gift lie once be-

lion tanner, when about To enter the lions
cage for n performance, scratched his face on
a nail, which drew blood knowing the
effect of blood on lions, he declined to enter
the cage and put the lions through their
PAGES The audience were clamOrOus, and 1t
was necessary TO provide some one TO aruse
them with the lions.
FrederickS, who had never tanned lions or
had anything to do with them, entered the
cage and went through with the performance
He said afterward that he was only nervous
upon opening the door of the cage. Once
inside he knew he had control When asked
what he would have done had the lions at
tackled him, he replied, Nothing; could
only stand still and be eaten till somebody
outside had got the red hot irons ready
The professor, however, gave up having any
thing to do with lions. His wife naturally
worried about his entering the cage So he
turned his attention to cats and finds his
feline performances very profitable. -Phila

1t Is Smashed Over the Head of
John Coburn.
A complaint was filed in the Police
Court yesterday charging a German
named Philip Traub with having assault
ed John Coburn, a railroad man, with a
deadly weapon, on Saturday night last.
The offense lie alleged to have been COM
mitted in the Santa Fe bar-room, at No.
521 East First street, during dispute
over gambling transaction, and, as far
as can be ascertained, wss wholly unpro-
yoked by the victim. Traub and Coburn
quarreled about difference of opinion
over the result of game of cards. After
disputing each others word for few
minutes, they adjourned to the sidewalk
and engaged in a rough and tum-
BILE fight, during which Coburn was
bitten in the leg by his opponent. On
being separated, both men quieted down
and their relations were apparently ami.
cable enough for about half an hour,
during which they remained in the
saloon. Suddenly, however, Trsub, who
was seated behind the bar, jumped up,
and, coming round to the front, asked
CJburn to help him to put on his coat.
The railroad man Immediately stepped
forward and held the coat for Traub, but
the latter turned round quickly and
struck the obliging youth a terrific blow
on the mouth with his fist. Coburn
rushed forward on recovering from the
shock. Traub picked up a demijohn,
which he had placed near at hand, and
hit his victim on the forehead with it,
smashing it to atoms. Coburn fell back
stunned and bleeding terribly from a
severe cut on the left eye, which had
severed an artery, and during the excite
ment caused by Coburn's fall. Traub
made his escape. The railrosder was
carried into the rear of the saloon and DR..
Wing was telephoned for, and attended
to the wounded mans injuries. which
were of serious nature. The police
were notified and have been vigorously
searching for Traub, 30 far, however,
without success. Coburn was pro-
nounced to be in fair way to recovery
yesterday, though still very weak from
loss of blood, and it is thought that he
will be round again in very few days.

IN THE CITY.
The East SideIs Discuss
Water Possibilities.
FIGHT WITH A BOTTLE.
The Coming Combat of the Prize
Fighters-Duval's Sentence
A Confidence Story.

The East Side Board of Trade held it's
regular weekly meeting last evening in
Campbell's Hall, corner of Truman
street and Downey avenue.
Mr.. Hamilton presented q report on
behalf of the Water Committee, in which
he spoke of the insufficiency of the
present water supply system of
this city, and suggested plan whereby
the water from the various mountain
streams which flow into the Los Angeles
river could be conducted to the city
through brick conduit which could be
constructed to act as filter also.
President Mesmer then introduced
john Baker, of the West End, who
spoke at some length on the development
of subterranean water for domestic pur-
poses, and it's many advantages over the
surface water now supplied in this city.
Mr.. Baker stated that he had spent
many years in studying the develop
ment of water, and, after thorough
examination of the topography of this
section, was firmly convinced that a
sufficient quantity of subterranean water
could be obtained in this immediate To-
cality to supply city of 1000, 600 inhab-
itants. Should this city ever increase to
that number, the present system would
not furnish one glass of water per day to
each inhabitant. "If we had ten times
the amount of water in the river that we
now have" said the speaker, eve should
guard it zealously; use it entirely for ir-
rigation purposes; and for domestic use
we would develop water. A better sys-
tenn of water for human use must be de-
vsed or your lives will be shortened ;
who can say that water, if properly puri-
fed, will not prolong life and build up a
different and healthier class of human
ity?"
M. Baker stated that he was the in
ventor OF system by which subterran-
can water could be developed; and,
though he had retired from active busi-
ness, he would be willing, realizing the
very great importance that the city
should have good water system, to
thoroughly explain his process to any
hydraulic engineers and citizens of this
city who might wish to inform them.
selves on this question, and to assist in
the development, by his system, of the
water which he knew existed in this
locality. Mr.. Bakers address was list
ened to with great attention by the
board, and at the conclusion of it he was
rendered vote of thanks.
Mr.. g. H. Register, President of the
West End Board Of Trade, upon invita-
ton spoke on the work now being done
in his section of the city, and advocated
unanimous action of the citizens of this
city on the question of good water.
Colonel G. E. DAILY called attention to
the fact that the city was in need of
water, sewers, light, parks and we'll
graded and paved streets. Mr.. DAILY
spoke of the good work that the various
boards Of trade in this city were doing in
bringing to the notice of the Council the
necessity of making the improvements
so badly needed.
The board then adjourned.
