Mrs. Margaret Hughes Hopes to Be
an Education Commissioner.
Mrs. Margaret Hughes scored the first
point yesterday in her suit against DR..
w. w. Hitchcock for the seat now held
by the latter in the board of education.
The fight has been merry one since
the inception OF the trouble, when
President Shafer resigned from the board
some months ago, and the legal pro-
ceedings promise to be as interesting as
the circus into which the board of educa-
ton resolved itself for some weeks, to
the edification of large and appreciative
audiences.
Mrs. Hughes claims membership in
the board by virtue of an election held
at meeting prior to the one at which
DR.. Hitchcock was chosen the member
from the fifth ward.
Major Donnell, counsel for DR.. Hitch
cock. filed a demuTer to the complaint,
which was argued yesterday by the
major on the one side and ex- District
Attorney Kelly on the other. One of
the principal grounds upon which the
demurrer was founded is that woman
is not entitled to seat in the board.
The court evidently is OF the opinion
that woman can hold office, as the
demurrer was promptly overruled. The
case will soon come to hearing.

1.HEATRICALS.

Tonight Fanny Davenport will appear
at the opera house in Cleopatra. The
play has been thoroughly described in
the HERALD, go perhaps a note of the
etar's airy costumes may not be amiss
In recent interview she described
them as follows:
That reminds me OF what
told young girl in New York. She
came to me asking for part in Cleo
patra. In endeavoring to induce me to
grant her request she assured me that
she had ample means to get the most
elegant of dresses. Then said to her,
In Cleopatra, my dear, it is not go much
a matter of dress as of undress.' This
is really true. There are only few
yards of material in the six garments
they can hardly be called dresses-that
wear in the piece.
"The first costume in which APP
pear" continued Miss Davenport, II
had made in London. 1t is of white
| silk gauze embroidered in silver lotus.
| The bodice, or rather the cestus, for it is
really that and nothing more, is of sill
yer cloth studded with turquoise.
"The second costume I wear in Cleo
patra is simply five yards of shrimp
pink cape with band on one edge of
closely set sapphires and diamonds. On
my head | wear the sacred ibis of
the Egyptians, composed of jewels. On
each OF my fingers and my thumbs
wear great barbaric rings of gold set with
gems.
"The third costume in which l appear
is purple Grape slip thickly embroid-
cred with lotus blooms in seed pearls.
With this / wear only diamond jewelry
and no head-dress. l next appear in a
slip of red Grape, with a belt and head
dress OF tiger skin, and wearing orna-
ments of gold in barbaric forms.
"The next costume in which I make
my appearance" said Miss Davenport,
sis of itself one of the most beautiful l
have. 1t is white Grape hand embroid-
cred in an all-over vine design. This had
followed in the tiniest spangles that are
made. With this wear ieweled ibis
on my breast and another as a head
dress. The last costume in which |
make my appearance ia white armure
silk with crystal beads interviewer. The
skirt and cestus, which is all there is OF
it, weighs fifteen pounds. With this l
wear sapphires, emeralds and diamonds.
"You see," continued Miss Daven-
port, "what 1 said about the dressing is
quite true-it is really more jewels than
gowns. However, little as there is of it,
| have great deal of time to study,
which enabled me to design it. l be-
lieve have read everything that has
been published on the subject of Egypt.

fit of Sardou's books on the subject"

PEARL and Figueroa streets are con-
tinuous from Sixth street to the city's
southern limit. They are wide streets,
and are graced with some Of the costliest
residences in Los Angeles. The council
yesterday acted on propositions to pave
with bituminous rock these fine thor
oughfares from Sixth to Pico and from
Pico to Washington. 1t is said that the
property-holders below Washington
will also pave their part of the street il
the upper portion is improved as or
dered. When all this projected work is
done there will be no finer boulevard on
the coast than this noble thoroughfare
will present.

Mr.. DURBRow's latest report about
the break in the Colorado river is favor
able to the disappearance permanently
at least until another great food year
of the water in Salton lake. This
will dissipate all the gaudy plans which
Harry Patton, editor of the Banning
Herald, had formed to make his town
a port of entry, and to urge congress to
make liberal appropriations to fortify
the entrance to Banning harbor. As
the claims of newspaper men to federal
office have been recognized of late years,
it is very probable that Patton had
his eagle eye on the position OF
collector of the port of Banning for
himself. He admits that he has got
over bis extreme diffidence about ac-
cepting places of honor, with emolu-
ments attached, but fears that the dry
ing-up process will cut off rare chance
of securing for Southern California a
port of certain refuge for our ships from
storms and from the warlike attacks of
foreign cruisers. Harry's dream of
office and appropriations is badly shat
tered by the way in which the Colorado
river is acting.

THE SAME THING OVER AGAIN.

1t pains us exceedingly that we can
not get our esteemed contemporary, the
Express, to recognize the extremely patri-
otto part which the HERALD is taking in
the court house and the Whittier reform
school steals. In its issue OF yesterday
it says we ought to have waited until
the grand jury had made its report.
Now, as a matter OF fact, that is just
what we have been doing. 1t is only
in the event that that body should over
look the matter that we shall have our
own furniture experts go through both
buildings and give the public the de-
tails OF the great spoliation. We have
stated one significant fact, of which our
contemporary would do we'll to take no.
tice, and that is that Judge Wade could
have duplicated one of the $1,000 desks
or benches OF the Los Angeles Furniture
company for 500. This is thing, OF
itself, calculated to arouse the taxpayer.
1t indicates that very liberal figures
have prevailed in the furnishing of the
other court rooms. 1t shows that profit
of $1400 would have been made on Judge
Wade's desk or bench, if the Los Ange-
les Furniture company had got in its
work, and makes what in law is known
as violent implication that such an ex-
orbitant figure prevailed throughout the
whole furnishing of the building.
Most people think that of the $4,000
worth of bills which have thus far been
rendered for the furnishing Of the new

THE disturbed condition of affairs in
South America has caused British cap
ital to seek new field for investment.
The representative of an English syndi-
cate, now in California, is reported as
saying that there is more money locked
up in London now, than there has been
before in many years. He adds that
the west coast of the United States is
looked upon as the best place of all for
investments, and that he is here to
place several million dollars. He con-
siders irrigation bonds first-class securi-

SAN FRANCISCO is keeping her end up
in the murder line, sure enough. The
number of victims last week was eight.
This included one policeman. Another
policeman was shot dead yesterday
morning. That makes three Of San
Francisco's force killed within a few
weeks. New Orleans used to have a
hard reputation for murders; but San
Francisco is succeeding in greatly slow
-ering the record" San Francisco has
averaged almost one hundred murders a
year for many years. The hangings
have been few and far between. Not
over one murderer a year succeeds in
reaching the choke end of a legal rope.
After while the people will get mad,
and then there will be reign of terror,
with the usual amount of reckless exhi-
billions of popular vengeance.

OBITUARY.

Mr.. Homer P. SAKE OF San Francisco
arrived here yesterday with the body Of
his father, Peter SAKE. The remains
were cremated last evening at the Rose
dale cemetery. 1sa
The deceased was a brother of the
poet, John G. SAKE, and for twenty
years recognized as the foremost import
er and dealer in blooded stock. He died
few moments after O'Clock Saturday
afternoon at the Lick House, where he
had lived for twelve years. His age was
II. His widow and two sons, one, Ho-
mer P, who has always lived in San
Francisco. and is of the firm of p. SAKE
& Son, and the other, Rollin p. SAKE,
who Is engaged in the blooded stock
business at Ogden, Utah, survive him.
Peter Sake was one of four brothers,
all of whom, including the poet, were
born in Vermont.
Having made money in the east and
desiring a better climate in which to
end his days, he in 1871 came to Cali
fornia. Since then, by reason of the en-
ergy with which he pushed his business
he has become known from the British
line to the Mexican border and beyond,
He was of distinguished appearance,
standing six feet in height, and his hair
and beard during the last few years
have been white as snow. He was very
neat in personal appearance, always
wearing carefully brushed silk hat,
and scarcely ever appeared on the street
without gloves.
Mr.. SAKE and his son Homer were in
this city about three years ago, when
they sold large numbers of thoroughbred
stock.

THERE has been great deal of COM
motion in Pomona over the deed of P.
G. Tonner to Mr.. E. Burr, Jr., convey
ing large quantity of valuable land in
that interesting and growing young city
to the latter, for the modest considera-
ton of IS. The latest development has
been that Mr.. Burr has telegraphed to
Mr.. Allen Nichols authorizing that gen.
tlemen to convey back to Mr.. Tonner
the land decided to him by that person
age. Thus the whole issue is conferred
on Tonner, simplifying the controversy
to that extent. What Mr.. Tonner will
do is subject of considerable specula-
ton. We understand that he has lately
made his will. which looks like the ac-
tion OF man determined to meet the
utmost exigencies of fortune.

POMONA is still up in arms against the
parties who are trying to blackmail a
number of its citizens into purchasing
their lands twice. DIR. Nichols and p.
G. Tonner, the men who are workin g
the fraud, have kept out of the way of
the public wrath. But it has been de-
veloped that Mrs. Palomares, who ap-
pears to have conveyed to them the
deed in partition, was imposed upon in
the transaction. She says that if they
procured such deed it was done by
gross misrepresentation and fraud. If
this can be made to appear in the courts,

THE Sunset Telephone company have
submitted proposition to the council
to lay their wires underground. 1t is
understood that in consideration Of doing

sion from the city. If what they ask ie
not unreasonable, the telephone COM
pany should be permitted to place theii
wires underground. This would be the
beginning of reform that the city will
be compelled to enforce before long, and
if one company can lay their wires un.

A MOVING STORY.
Three Houses and Their Midnight
Adventures.

1t was midnight. Three houses all in
a row blocked up Los Angeles street at
the intersection of Fourth street. A
dozen of men wrapped up in overcoats
walked up and down. A couple of re-
porters join the group, which contains
house movers, police officers, etc There
is a conflict of authority between the
house m vers and the electric car peo-
pie. The latter concern objects to hav-
ing the wires cut for less than $780, The
house movers object to the amount. The
houses which are being moved are from
Mott alley and Third street. This is not
the first time that there has been
trouble. In fact, the matter came be-
fore the council. tits no child's play to
cut the wires while the current is turned
on. A conference is held and tempo
rary arrangement is reached without
any hostile movement, and the houses
20 on their journey. The house movers
propose to have the matter adjusted in
the courts. "
