NEARING THE END.

Arrangements for the Inaugural Ball
Almost Completed.
The Inaugural Ball Executive Commit
tee met last evening to complete arrange
ments for the ball. Reports were received
from the various committees showing that
they had matters well in hand.
Mr.. Leake. of the Finance Committee,
stated that Mr.. Stefens and he had made a
short canvass in town and sold 90 addi-
tional tickets. This makes 100 sold here
altogether, and it is expected that ct least
twenty mere will be disposed of.
The Chairman asked that, inasmuch as
many letters had been received asking for
invitations, the public be informed through
the press that the Executive Committee
had no more, but had sent blank ones to
different localities in the State, and that by
applying at Los Angeles or San Francisco
those desiring invitations might obtain
them.
Mr.. Coleman thought that some system
ought to be adopted SO IS to avoid copfu-
sion among the hack drivers and render it
easy for parties to find their carriages
when they chose to go home. He
suggested that the owners of the different
hacks have all their vehicles designated by
DdltlCul6k huAOCiS. a AAdA SOulQ Uc SIll.
ployed by the committee to stand at the
entrance, and as parties desiring hacks
came out, he could ascertain from them
whose hack they engaged. and then signal
to the driver to come up. ALI hack drivers
should be instructed to enter the grounds
by the L-street gate. and leave by the exit
on N street. A man should be stationed
at each gate to see that the rule was car
ried out, and also another to open and
close the doors of the hacks, so that the
drivers could retain their seats.
The matter was deemed of sufficient i'm.
ports nee to warrant the naming OF a com.
mittee of three-Messrs. Coleman, Guthrie
and Heilbron-to adopt plan.
Chairman Steffens read letter which
he received from Chairman Stump of the
Republican State Central Committee Of
San Francisco, announcing that he had
appointed the following-named gentlemen
| to act with the Sacramento committee in
receiving the guests on the night of til
ball: f. 8. Chadbourne, A. E. Castle. PariI

GRAND AVE, Los ANGELES (Cal.), August
Is, 1SS9.-Mr. Cooper: Your letter received
this morning, and am happy to oblige
you by testifyiDg to the excellence of the
Mathushek Grand sold me some four years
ago. 1t has been in constant use, and
think, instead of deferiorating and becom-
ing thin, it has softened and deepened in
tone. It required little tuning during
the first year. / have frequently recon-.
mended the piano, and consider that its
merits are equal to those of the best in the
United States.
The singing quality of this piano is par
ticularly suited for vocalists, and while
agreeable in q small room, it can by its
brilliancy and power fill large auditorium
effectively. Yours, etc., Mrs. GEORGE

TIE AMERICAN IDEA.
HOW MODERN BARBARIANs cELE.
BRATE THEIR NEW YEAR.
A Chinese Merchant Perforated by the
Bullet of One Of the Celebrants-
Work for the Coroner.

The average Chinaman of this city has
doubtless come to the very reasonable con.
clusion that Americans have q very bar.
barous way of celebrating the advent Of
their new year. Instead of dischargine
harmless dre-crackers, beating tom. toms
and Burning odoriferous punk, they shoot
OF guns and pistols with recklessness al
together too uncomfortable for people
around them.
This method of celebrating very orli-
nary event appears to be Catching" for
while the pale faced barbarians were
whanging away with deadly firearms-in
many cases loaded with bullets-some of
the Chinese hoodlums caught the infection,
and. while no Americans have been re.
ported as killed by the fusilade that dis.
graced the city on Wednesday night. there
is one corpse in Chinatown as the result
thereof.
Early on Wednesday evening Lee Pong
Gee, member of the firm of Lung Ling &
Co., butchers, on 1 street, between Fourth
and Fifth, went into the kitchen of his
establishment, and was about to wash him
self, when he was shot in the back By par
ties on the outside. The bullet entered his
right side above the hip. and came out in
the abdomen.
An endeavor was made Immediately to
find the party who fired the shot, but with
out avail. The occupants of the Japanese
house in the alley cay the shooting was
doubtless accidental by two Cinnamon
who went into the backyard with large
pistol to celebrate the new year-in Amer
lean fashion. The Cinnamon cannot be
found, and their names are not known.
The bullet had to pass through q thin
sheet of corrugated iron before it struck the
unfortunate Lee Fong Gee. The missile
was found on the floor after the shooting.
The wounded man fingered until about
8 o'clock last evening, when death put an
end to his suffering.
Deceased was known as one of the best
Cinnamon in the city. He was the father
Of the girl known as Lulu Earl, who passed
through the schools of this city and gradu-
ated from the High School about three
years ago. She afterward married one of

Church.
Although it is "only Chinaman" that
has fallen victim to the senseless man.
ner of welcoming the advent of new year,
it is to be hoped that it may have the effect
of directing the attention of the police au-
thorities to the matter in SO pointed way
that henceforth the law against dischaYging
firearms within the city limits will be rig
idly enforced-even on New Years Eve,
when certain class of men and boys seem
to feel privileged to outrage both law and
decency by unbfidled ribaldry and rowdy-
ism.
