THE FLOWER SHOW.
1t Will Probably Be Open Until
Saturday.

The attendance at the Southern Cal
ifornia floral society's exhibition at Haz-
ards pavilion, though not as large last
night as on the opening day, was still
very good, and the successful result of
its first venture in this direction is very
encouraging to the management, which
already announces it's intention of pro-
longing the show until Saturday night.
A number of new exhibits were en-
tered Yesterday and every day brings in
some novel feature. In the department
set apart for designs in cut flowers,
premiums were offered for bridal bou-
gu ats, baskets, bells, and other arrange
ments suitable for weddings They were
awarded as follows: First, Mrs. ]. Sher-
man; second, Mrs. Lizzie Eckerwood
and G. H. Hovey; third, Germain Fruit
Co.; the other competitors were F. E.
Nay, the Central Park Floral Co. and
the Park Nursery Co., to whom certi-
ficate of merit was awarded for a new
chrysanthemum.
During the evening the Arend or
chestra rendered a musical programme
very aeeeptably.

DR.. KOch's Consumption Cure a Medical
Triumph.
BERLIN, Nov. 12.-Prof. Koch's report
on his consumption cure will appear at
the end OF the week in the Deutsche
Medizinische Wochenschrift. The par
ticulars were published today of case
OF lupus of the face, treated by
DR.. Libbertz, in Frankfort, by Koch's
method. The case is progressing salts
factorily. The first effect of the treat
ment was to cause the lupus ulcers to
swell and discharge liquid, after which
scabs formed as in eruptive fevers. The
doctor will renew the injection when the
scabs fall.
Minister Won Gassler has given 10000
marks for the erection of a special hos
pital for the treatment OF consumption
by koch's method.
Herzberg, whose niece has undergone
DR.. KOch's treatment for consumption,
says patients are able to follow their
usual occupations while undergoing treat
ment, only it is necessary to take the
temperature three times daily, owing to
the fever caused by the injection OF the
lymph.

CHARTER REVISION.
THE FINAL REPORT OF THE coUN'
GIL COMMITTEE.
Ths Office of City Assessor to be Abolished
as Well as Those of Treasurer and Tax
Collector-A Number of Economics
Recommended.

The following is the report OF the
committee on charter revision. The
main points were agreed on by the whole
committee yesterday afternoon, and the
document was drawn up last evening by
Chairman Shafer. 1t is now in the form
in which it will probably be presented to
the council.
Los ANGELES, Nov. II, 1880.
To the Honorable the City Council of the City
OF Los Angeles:
GENTLEMEN: Your committee on char
ter revision have the honor to herewith
submit the following report, hoping
that it may receive your favorable con-
sideration:
We find that the Office of city assessor
costs from $4,000 to $4,000 annually.
To save this large expenditure, we rec
ommend that the Office be abolished,
and that the county assessors values be
accepted by the city. To guard against
excessively low valuations, that portion
OF paragraph Ii of section 2 which pro-
vides that the tax levied for any one
year, for municipal purposes, shall not
exceed 81 on each 500, be stricken out.
However, we believe that 81 on each
500 will be found sufficient at all times
when reasonable valuation is placed
on property.
This change might lead to abuse, but
the danger is go remote and the saving
so large that we make the recommends
ton.
The Office of city treasurer is a sine
cure and should be abolished. We
would also dispense with city tax col
lector by allowing our county tax col
lector to collect our taxes, thus subserv-
ing the public convenience and the pub
lie interests by saving to the city not
less than $4,000 a year. We would
further recommend that the offices OF
auditor and sealer of weights and meas
ures be abolished, and that, should
there be a failure to revise the charter,
this council repeal the ordinance fixing
the salary and prescribing the duties OF
the last named officer. The city clerk
(who is also to be auditory, superinten-
dent of streets, board of health, city en-
gineer, water Overseer and superinten-
dent of buildings, should be elected by the
council, and the number of cOuncilmen
should be increased to eighteen large
legislative bodies are safer than small
ones. 1t is more difficult to bribe and
corrupt ten men than five. Then increas
ing the numbers lessons the chances OF
errors. FOR the most careful men may
become costly by neglect or careless act
ion. At the municipal election to be
held on the first Monday in December,
1892. let there be nine councilmen
elected for one year and nine for two
years, four members of the school board
TOR one, year and five for two years, two
library directors for one year and two
for two years. Elections to be held
thereafter annually.
The mayor and councilmen should
serve the city for the honor of it, and
their salaries should only be sufficient
for incidental expenses.

The dramatic season in this city was open ID
on last Monday night by the presentation OF
Bulwer'G interesting historical drama-Riche-

Keene. supported by Mr.. George Learock and
a company Of good actors.
The audience was not as large as the merits
OF the performance merited. but 1t was an APP
preciative one who greatly enjoyed it. as was
shown by the applause given. The chief role,
the character OF Cardinal Richelieu. was admit
rably impersonated by Mr.. Keene. the only
defect being want OF clear and distinct enun-
citation in the more vehement and excited ex-
pr eEsions. The principal characters were
Count De Baradas by George Learock; Cheva'
lier De Mauprat. by Eugene Moore; and Julia
De Mortemar. ward to Richelieu, by Miss L
Shannon. The acting Of Miss Shannon was
particularly good, and each of the others did
well. The costumes were very rich in the
style of the 18th century. The want Of an or
chestra was felt, and remarked upon. Thii
play contains many nohle sentiments express
ed in the beautiful style characteristic OF iti
distinguished author.

But little is doing yet In tie very fine grades
of hay our producers are baling for market.
We advance our quotations of oats and corn Z.
