ADJUSTMENTS.

Here is a souvenir" said Mr.. Ogden
of the management of the Columbia
Opera company yesterday, ''that l
would not exchange for precious jew
els." A fragment OF lace and yelling
lay on the desk in front of the gentle
man. This is a portion of the late
Emma Abbott's Romeo and Juliet veil.
You know l was with the brave little
woman for many years." continued Mr..
Ogden. THAT veil was one of Emma
Abbott's highly priced treasures. She
called it her mascot veil, and in truth
it seemed as if her fortunes turned when
she secured it. She bought it in Paris
in 1880, and while good fortune had not
till then smiled on her, it seemed from
the moment she got it that her luck
turned and she was on the high road to
fame and fortune. That veil has been
kissed scores OF times by every tenor
that was with the Abbott company, as
well as by the lips that are now cold
and still. She valued it beyond rubies,
and frequently said she wanted it
buried with her. When / received the
tidings of her illness l was in
the east, and started west in re-
sponse to a telegram from Mr.. Pratt.
When I reached Chicago 1 got dis
patch saying she was dead. l shall
never forget the scene at the depot
when the remains of the sweet singer
arrived. There were thousands there.
and everyone was weeping. The casket
was covered with flowers, beautiful even
though faded and stained by the frost,
for they came from loving hands and
hearts. Among the floral tokens l re-
member many beautiful offerings from
the sunny southern land of California
Los Angeles that Emma Abbott loved
SO well. AS she lay in the coffin
looking like a simple, artless child
that had fallen asleep, around her head
were clustered2those California flowers
and the half of the Juliet veil. The
remainder was divided among her
friends who will never forget her. There
are quite number OF the Emma Alb
bott Opera company now with the Col
umbia Opera company, and when they
neared Los Angeles many memories of
the dead singer-of the last Christmas
dinner which they enjoyed with her
here in Los Angeles, just a short
while before her taking away, came
back, and the tears flowed again. There
was only one Emma Abbot and God
had need OF her in the choir OF the an
gels"

Rube Dannels is at the city prison
with both his legs broken, the result of
q leap from a burning building. From
all accounts 1t was thrilling leap. Dam
nels is a big colored man and is the jan
itor OF the abstract building.
Yesterday, few minutes before ]
o'clock, Mrs. Hunt, the landlady OF the
lodging house at 81 East First street,
suspected that there was fire in the
building. She rushed around and found
smoke in the hall. but was unable to To-
cate the fire. In minute the little
niece OF Mrs. Hunt said: ''The fire is in
Mrs. Clisley's ROOM" Sure enough,
smoke was noticed coming out under
the door. Mrs. Hunt tried to open the
door but was unable.
"Are you in there, Mrs. Clisley ?"
shouted out Mrs. Hunt.
The reply came, Yes"
Mrs. Hunt at once knew that it was
not Mrs. Clisley. The voice, although
disguised. was that of man. 1t flashed
through Mrs. Hunts mind that it must
be a colored man named Daniels. Mrs.
Hunt shouted for help. Several men
came to her rescue and the door was
forced open, but no one was in the room.
The occupant of minute previous took
desperate chances by jumping out of
the window to the ground below.
Daniels is a heavyweight and the
lump crippled him for life.
this building" yelled Mrs. Hunt when
II. na--alc H.,
ground below.
"Yes, Use the one that done it," re-
marked the colered man. Daniels was
temporarily forgotten while the fight
against the flames was going on. The
fire was put out, but the room occu-
pied by Mrs. Clisley was badly wrecked.
Daniels is under arrest for setting fire
to the building. The supposition is that
he locked himself in Mrs. Clisley's room
and was engaged in burning all her
dresses when the smoke alarmed the
household. There was no reason for
him to set fire to the building. Mrs.
Clisley is reported|to be hard working
colored woman. Daniels is infatuated
with her, but she has refused to have
anything to do with him. This
doubtless angered him, and he got even
by burning up her dresses.
Mrs. Hunt, in conversation with a
HERALD reporter, stated that Daniels
came to the lodging house and inquired
for Mrs. Clisley, and that she told him
Mrs. Clisley was not in. Mrs. Hunt is
also positive that it was Daniels who
was in the room when the fire was first
discovered. 1t will be remembered that
an effort was made to burn the lodging
house last week. A fire was discovered
in the hallway, but was put out before
any damage was done.
Mrs. Hunt is widow, and has to
work hard to support her invalid
daughter and her children, and the
damage by fire, although not very large,
is great hardship on her. Why Dam
nels should attempt to fire the building,
except for revenge on Mrs. Clisley, is
difficult to understand.

AN ATTRACTIVE KIND OF MANUFAC-
TURES.

The people of Los Angeles and the
strangers within her gates ought to bear
one fact in mind when they speak OF
manufactures, and that is that we have
already made fair beginning in many
lines. 1t sometimes surprises us that
we have done so much, considering the
disposition OF great numbers OF the cap
italist class in our midst to allow things
to drift. Manufactures have swollen to
tremendous proportions in San Fran
cisco, and yet twenty years ago the peo-
Pile of that city were noted for their
sluggishness. We are not withoutgreat
hopes that in this city we are just on
the point of great manufacturing devel-
opments.
And yet, when we use the word city,
we do not wish to be understood as wish
ing to see smoke and soot-belching
agencies in our midst. They ought to
keep we'll without the city limits, and
Los Angeles ought to have and doubt
less will have many subsidiary cities.
What will some day be known as the
Angelic City will reach from the Sierra
Madre foothills to the sea. 1t must not
be forgotten that, in this superb expanse,
there are already many manufactures
of most delightful kind. Many of our
productive industries are in their very
nature OF a manufacturing character.
Every vineyard that has cooperative
wine and brandy-making establishment
in its midst is, if not a mandatory
itself, an adjunct of a mandatory. Sc
of our orchards which supply the decid-
uous and other fruits in canned and
dried shape. Some day manufactures
OF candied fruits will spring up near
every grove of oranges or other citrus
fruits. Manufactures of sugar from the
sugar beet will be near at hand to aid in
these most beautiful of all manufactures,
and as to which only limited portion
of the globe is adapted.
Thus, while we may not all at once
develop Swansea or Denver, we are
in steady progress towards even roll
ing mills and smelling works, all the
while benefting by our splendid and
established industries. Probably no
region on earth has brighter or more
varied outlook than the Angelic City.
We threaten to be encumbered by an en-
barrassment OF riches.

A sPRlGHTLY New York contemporary
has not been unobservant OF the arrival
in New York city of q consignment of
Scotch whisky to President Harrison by
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie. In recent issue
it says Scotland is famous, among
other things, for its Presbyterians and
its whisky. Many of its Presbyterians
are fond OF its whisky. Mr.. Andrew
Carnegie is a Scotchman, but not a
Presbyterian. He is Freethinker. 1t
appears, however, that he knows what
is the best brand OF Scotch whisky. Mr..
Benjamin Harrison, president Of these
United States, is not a Scotchman, but
he is Presbyterian. And it appears
that he takes kindly to Scotch whisky.
These facts account for the recent ar
rival at the custom house in this city of
a barrel of the finest Scotch whisky
from Mr.. Carnegie for Mr.. Harrison.
The price of the whisky was fifty-three
dollars. The duty on it was forty-fve
dollars. Now the question arises: Is
it good example to set before the eco
HOmlCdl uuu cOUCl NOuuR luCu VI tuIo
great Christian country for our Presby-
rerian president to spend $98 OF his hard
earned money for barrel of whisky?
Perhaps, however, the whisky cost the
president nothing. Mr.. Carnegie may
have given it to him. Even so, we
should like to hear from our esteemed
contemporary, the Voice. on the SUBJ
ject." This journal does not know the
intimate connection that has existed in
the past between Presbyterianism and
good Scotch whisky. 1t is only in the
last five or elk decades that the Presby-
terian church has been severe on the
subject, and there are doubtless good
many staunch followers of the kirk now
who would not object to little good old
Islay ON cold night, with little hot
water, lemon and nutmeg handy.

THE supreme court of California yes
terday rendered very interesting decis-
ion in the case of Col. j. D. Stevenson,
OF the famous regiment of that name.
The Legislature had voted the colonel a
pension, and it was sought to invalidate
it on the ground that it was gift, and
gifts of the public moneys are forbidden
by the constitution of California. By
the decision OF the court OF last resort
the old gentleman gets his pension, the
decision being that it was not gift in
the sense of our organic law. 1t is pos
sible that some little ringer will be
found that will make our worlds fair

The Society Well Satisfied With the
Recent Fair.

kNCSChl -cAs
The first regular meeting OF the South
ern California Horticultural society since
it's exhibition of fruits and flowers held
at Hazards pavilion, convened last even
ing at the chamber of commerce rooms.
The reports of Superintendent JAMES
H. Denham and Henry w. Kruckeberg
were read and adopted. The results
were ON the whole very satisfactory, the
society paying all it's running expenses.
with enough in the treasury to liquidate
the premiums in the near future.
TO avoid any misunderstanding in
the future, it was enthusiastically voted
that the society hold spring show, at
which roses, spring Towering bulbs and
citrus fruits shall hold the prominent
place. The last week in April was
chssen as the time, and the schedule OF
premiums will be issued in the immedi-
ate future, affordiLg the growers every
facility to grow exhibition plants.
That keener and broader interest
has been awakened regarding the work
of the society is best attested by the fact
that many prominent citizens have Of
fered individual premiums already ag-
gregating upwards of $500. For instance,
Eugene German offers a premium of
$50 for the best display of early vege-
tables; Park Commissioner Sutherland
Hutton offers $25 for the best collection
OF roses grown by an amateur; Henry
O'Melveny, $25 for the best collection OF
California wild flowers; DR.. Worthing-
ton, for spring Towering bulbs; the park
commissions offer $50 for the best model
of landscape gardening; DR.. Wills, $40
for the best display of six early vege-
tables; also, $50 prize for citrus fruits,
etc. The next regular meeting will be
held November 30th, at pm, cham
Der of commerce rooms.

THE ELECTRIC ROAD.

The Power to Be Increased to Ten
Times Its Present Limit.
1t is not generally understood that
the Electric Railway company is
operating now with only one-tenth OF
the power planned for the system, and
which it will have in very short time.
For some time past the workmen
have been hard at work putting up a
duplicate of the dynamo which now
furnishes the force, and as soon az that
is done, others will be put in place, in
creasing the total power ten times the
amount it is now.
Another difficulty met with has been
the use OF too light wheels on the cars,
many of them going to pieces. Wheels
are now being put on the cars of suffi-
cient strength.
