Tlro Good Annolntrnent.. 4

We took the occasion to say before,
thai there was no necessity for the
creation OF another Justice of the
Peace In the city OF Wilmington, at
the present time, and neither would
there have been one created, had not
William II. Lee been desirous OF max.
ing an Office for himself, In which he
might pass five years moro of hls
honest Office holding life. IL is just
ratrlbution that IN this case, tho build
or built well, but built for another.
But now that the Office hns been crea-
ted, IL is pleasant reflection to know
that it has been filled by an honest.
clean man, though from the Demo-
cratic ranks, which, of course, was
naturally expected.
DR.. Benjamin d. Groves is wellquali
aed for the Office, not only by an ex-
cellent education but by his large ex-
porience in public affairs, having SER
we'd twenty consecutive years as depu-
ty recorder of deeds in this county,
and by his general even and calm ju-
dicial mind TO which is added an unex-
ceptionable moral character.
1t affords us also pleasure to note
that tho venerable and very highly re,
spected ex-justice OF the peace George
O'Nell has been appointed a notary
public. Mr.. O'Neil if we mistake not
was once before a notalypublic having
been justice for two terms and in all
his transactions 1t cannot be said other
wise than that he was always actuated
by the highest stmotives OF honesty and
his integrity and high character is un'
questionable.

For the First Lacrosse Match Ever

The lacrosse team practiced yesterday
afternoon for the first time this season.
They expect to meet very formidable
twelve at Riverside. The secretary of

nish this paper with a graphic report of
the first lacrosse match ever played in
Southern California.

What Did She Mean?

A young fellow up town, we'll to do and
otherwise respectable, has been experienc-
ing great emotional discomforts recently.
Last night he met friend at his club. and
he was feeling like a wood pile after hard
winter
"I'm not thin skinned man, am II" he
inquired very thoughtfully.
WELL" was the cautious reply, 81 don't
think ever heard you called a sensitive
plant exactly"
"And fellow has right to have girl,
even if her mother doesn't think he is
perfect Jupiter Plutonius, hasn't hef"
Certainly" responded the counselor, be-
traying some curiosity.
"And fellow has perfect right to go to
see her in housekeeping time, hasn't he?"
There's no law against it that can cite
Just now," said the other man, growing
more curious
"And people can clean house at night,
can't they?"
Certainly, if they are squeezed for time
during the day." and the philosopher and
friend moved his chair little farther
away.
THAT'S what / say" continued the
young fellow, not needing the man who
was answering his questions, land that's
what riles me. and that's why l want to
know what in thunder that girls mother
meant by sticking her head over the ban
isters last night when she knew was in
the parlor sitting on roll of carpet with

selor and friend sat speechless. Detroit

LIONEL'S ADVENTURES.
A "REMINISCENCES OF A. J. WATER
HOUSE, ONCE OF CORONADO.
Lionel Stagg and His Trip to San Bernar-
dino-A Little Surprise Which Hap
pened There-He Finds Four Trusting
Reporters, However.

Newspaper men are supposed to know
the ways of the world, but four report
ers got taken in last night to the extent
of dollar and quarter each. Not
much money, you say? Maybe not to
you, but to reporters-oh, my The
story is as follows:
About two years ago, at the Coro-
nado hotel, young man registered as
ga. J. Waterhouse, correspondent N.
Y. World" San Diegans love a news
paper man, and they took Mr.. Water
house in, proceeding which he soon
reciprocated to the extent of several
hundred dollars. Then he and the San
Diegans, and the swells at the hotel all
took a tumble. Waterhouse fell the
furthest, however, for he kept on until
he reached San Bernardino. The "taking
in' process was repeated there, but the
San Berdoonites kicked almighty kick
when the fellows character was found
out, and he was put in Jail. Then
he blew away.
Chapter second of this tale of real life
is as follows:
''Lionel Stagg" was the name on a
neat, glazed, engraved card which a
well-dressed young man handed to the
city editor of one of the morning papers
here, about ten days ago. 'Lionels"
face looked familiar to the city editor,
who about two years ago was at Coro-
nado, and he queried Mr.. Stagg as to
whether he had ever done San Diego.
"No, never" he was answered with
Lionel's rather aristocratic drawl. "That
is to say, hardly ever l was there be-
fore the Coronado was opened" Lionel
wanted work, but there was none at
hand. He went to the other newspaper
offices. One of the editors thought it
would be a good plan to put cores
pondent in San Bernardino, and offered
the job to Lionel. He accepted, and
the editor and the swell reporter went
to that city, and Lionel was
introduced as "our correspondent,
who will live here, Mr.. Lionel Stagg.''
All went we'll until the sheriff was en-
countered, when the introduction act
was brought to dramatic finale.
"Staggl Stagg!" calculated that Off
cial; "you be blowed," (only he did not
say blowed) "your name is Waterhouse
"A. ]. Waterhouse-and you were
locked up here"
Tableau: A fainting editor C. a de.
pressed swell-looking youth, r. C. sheriff
tickled by the effect of his little story, l.
C. The blue lights and the shivery music
were not there, but when the editor re-
covered their absence was not noticeable
Most men would have been little
flustered by this incident, but Lionel
was not built on that model. He came
back to Los Angeles, called on the city
editor first above mentioned, and rang
the changes on hunger, want of work, {
chance to get to San Francisco
if he could get five dollars, anc
the result was that collection wal
taken up in the news room and Mr.
Stagg was handed as the result of foul
reporters generosity five big American
silver dollars. With deep emotion ht
expressed his thanks, and gratefully
stole away.
Shortly after his departure the city
editor met man from San Bernardint
who knew Lionel, and the result is
among other things-this little tale o
woe.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Results of the Orange Carnival-New
Exhibits Placed.

Orange carnival visitors are paying
their respects to the chamber every few
days. Among the visitors yesterday was
J. l. Bear of Chicago, who came out
with some of the Southern California
people at the close of the carnival, has
purchased forty acres of land near Riv-
e-side, and intends planting it to oranges
and lemons. This goes to show that not
only the districts that were represented
at the carnival were benefited, but the
whole OF Southern California is now
reaping reward.
G. M. Hord, Sr., another Chicago gen.
tleman, in conversation yesterday re-
marked that the clear-headed business
men OF Chicago estimate that California
will be benefited to the amount of mil
lion dollars from the recent orange car
nival held there. In connection with
the same remark he intimated that he
had SIC, 1000 to invest in land somewhere
in this vicinity.

ELECTION OF OFFICERS.

The Annual Election of the Los An

The annual election of the Los An
geles Athletic club b took place last night,
Mr.. John S. Thayer, who has been sec
retary almost ever since the organization
of the club, receiving the highest num-
ber of votes cast and being the choice of
the club for president; vice-president,
A. @. Way; captain, M. T. Spencer.
The following is the vote for board of
directors; j. S. Thayer, 283; G. F.

The new board contains many gentle
men interested in promoting amateur
sport, and an athletic park for Los An
geles is now assured. The opposition
ticket carried the day. The best of
feeling prevailed, although hot fight
was made by the adherents of each
faction.

Greedy E'oreigners.

All excursionists agree as to the avid
ity with which those ''furriners" seize
on to good, hard, honest American gold.
A Springfield man was bargaining for
parrot in Havana bird store. The price
was set at seventeen dollars, but the
dealer shaded it down, few dollars at
time. Finally the American took out
United States five dollar gold piece,
remarking that he would give SO much
and no more. The dealer clutched the
coin, and passed over the parrot, cage
and all, before the gay bird could wink.

JUVENILE SWIMMERS.
A Lively Contest at the Natatoriul
Yesterday.

A Lively Contest at the Natatorium
Yesterday.
A large number of interested Juveniles,
together with an equal number of adults,
gathered at the Natatoiium yesterday
afternoon to witness the 1O0-yard race
for boys under 16. The prizes were
three in number: A silver medal, q
ticket good for twenty swims and
ticket good for fifteen swims.
Up to O'Clock there were eight en-
tries for the race: Willie Rice, Eddie
Price, Willie McLaren, Jack Adams,
Harvey Morse, Rossie Shane, Joshua
Johnson, Robbie Flint.
AT the last moment another boy,
Joseph Rhodes, was entered, and
though only IA, to the astonishment of
the other contestants, he made the best
time in swimming the first heat-2 10.
In the second heat Willie Rice made the
best time-1 :32. The final and decisive
heat was contested by Willie Rice, Har-
vey Morse, Joseph Rhodes and Robert
Flint. Willie Rice captured the medal
with the phenomenal time of l IL, while
Harry Morses time was l :23, Joseph
Rhodes :27 and Robert Flint :28. The
time was extraordinarily good for boys
of that age, and the contest very close.
The other boys complained that young
Rhodes should not have been admitted
at the last minute, though no one ex-
pected that he would make such good
time. With proper training young
Rhodes is bound to make a very good
swimmer, as his quick time yesterday
was largely due to sheer bodily strength,
his swimming being rather awkward
and showing inexperience.
Young Rice must win his medal in
two more successive races to hold it, and
two or three of the other contestants
are already preparing to challenge him
to another race.

slight odds have been offered against
