We had the pleasure of attending
the exhibition at the Snyder Chapel
last Friday night, given by the
schools Of that vicinity. The Nor
ris school, tar ght by Miss Gertic
Fields, the Savage school, where w.
G. Conley held forth, and the Sny.
der school, conducted by John A.
Sterling, combined and gave big
old-fashioned exhibition, which was
immense. II was given in the
church in order to have room, and
still the jam was tremendous, and
If it had been a good night, the
crowd could not haye all gotten in.
We saw people there from Tunnel.
ton, TOWNSVILLE and all around the
country in spite of the very inclem
ent weather. About twenty went
out from Kingwood, and all we're
we'll pleased with the entertainment.

Only two months more till the
school election and no candidate
out yet for the Office Of County Su-
perintendent. There are several
gentlemen who have laundering for
the dignity Of the position, but
each seems to be waiting for some
one else to break the ice. The pres
ent incumbent seems to have virtu-
ally declined to run again himself,
and comes out strong for William
Baldwin Frecland. Election viii

months yet. We suggest that can

THE CITY BANK CASE.
The Matter Comes Up Again in the
Court


The old case of the City of Los Angeles
vs. the City bank was on trial before
Judge Shaw yesterday, and was not con-
cluded. 1t is the caHe in which the city
is attempting to make the bank pungle
up some $4,000 interest claimed to be due
by the city on the city funds when the
bank was the city depository. 1t will
be remembered that the City bank sue
ceeded in obtaining possession of the
funds, under its contract, after weari-
some litigation, but that the supreme
court decided that the funds could not
be let out at interest. Then the City
bank paid over about $193.000 to the
city treasurer, but withheld the interest,
for which the city has sued.
Several witnesses were examined yes
terday, and the history of the transac-
tion gone over again. The defendant
was represented by Messrs. Burnett and
Gibbon, and the city by City Attorney
Mcfarland and Assistant w. E. Dunn.
The points sought to be made by the
defense were principally that the funds
when they were deposited in the City
bank, were not made special deposits,
but went in just as any other deposits,
and as such the depositor was not en-
titled to a share in the profits.
They also rely upon the decision OF
the supreme court. When the plaintiff
rested, the defense moved for a non
suit. Judge Shaw intimated pretty
strongly the weakness OF the city's case,
but denied the non-suit. and the case
went over until Tuesday, when Pres
ident Childress, OF the bank, is to
present statement OF the deposits
made by the city.

ceed 2 per cent per annum, and in sums
not to exceed $4,000 to any one person.
Resolved, That in the alien owner
ship of land we foresee the establish
ment of a system OF tenant farming
calculated to destroy the independence
of the home and to lessen the infu-
enee of the common schools of our
country. We are therefore determined
to invoke all the machinery of state and
national legislation for the purpose of
banishing this evil.
Resolved, That all persons of the
proper age, who have a fair knowledge
of our language and system of govern
ment, who a1e attached to the princi-
pies of a republican form of govern
ment and who have resided in the
United States not less than ten years
should be entitled to the elective fran
chise and none others. Also, that dis
elimination against one part of our
people on account of difference in
sex is a needless and arbitrary ex-
ercise of power, and we insist
that this question of woman suf-
frage, like all others bearing upon
human happiness and destiny shall be
settled by the test of actual expert
ment.
Resolved, That we are determined to
assume as quickly as possible the rights
and prerogatives of intelligent citizen
ship, and insist that our presidents,
Independents, senators and judges
shall reach their exalted positions only
through the sanction OF freeman's
ballot.
Resolved, That we are opposed to the
saloon and liquor business in all its
forms.

tration is the true way to settle the
differences between the employer and

A Unique Institution.

One of the most attractive of the ex-
hibits at the chamber of commerce dis
play during the past week has been that
made by the Pacific Rattan company, OF
807 Upper Main street, complimentary
mention OF which has already been made
in these columns. The Pacific Rattan
company, of which T. Sullivan and L.
Hansen are the responsible men, has the
distinction of being the only firm on the
Pacific coast engaged in the manufacture
of reed and rattan furniture and similar
household ornaments and necessities.
They turn out a superior quality Of
goods, and make speciality of manufac-
turing furniture to order, in any shape
or design that suits the purchasers taste
or peculiar ideas. Their display at the
chamber OF commerce carried off di-
ploma and was complimented by the
Judges, as well as by all Others who saw
it. The factory OF the Pacific Rattan
company, at No. S07 Upper Main street,
is place we'll worth a visit from all
contemplating furnishing a house, or
others who may desire to add to their
household effects some especially taste
full and artistic piece.

The Los Angeles Business College Dis
nIaV.

The display made by the Los Angeles
Business college and English training
school at the chamber of commerce was
one that is deserving of extended notice.
The work of the students which was 80
much admired by the large crowds that
viewed it, however, gives but small
idea of the capacity of this excellent
institution, which has larger number
of students in daily attendance than
any similar school on the southern
coast. The college justly claims sup
eriority in the thoroughness of its in
struction in penmanship, business-let-
ter writing, commercial law, book-keep-
ing, telegraphy, typewriting, shorthand
and the more elementary branches, and
its class work and personal instruction
is so systematized that the results are
only OF the highest order. The college
is located at No. IA South Main street,
and the prosperity which it enjoys is
Justly merited

FINE HARNESS.
The Display by H. w. Heinsch at the
Chamber Of Commerce,

One Of the displays that attracts great
attention is that Of H. w. Heinsch, the
manufacturer and importer of harness,
saddlery and turf goods, whose place of

The Culver & Little Manufacturing
Company

Company.
The Culver & Little. Manufacturing
company, which had q fine display of
water, gas, sewer pipe, etc. at the cham
Der OF commerce during the past week,
was one OF the lucky few who obtained
the special distinction of diploma.
This company which is one of the
largest and most successful dealers In
pipe OF all kinds in Southern California,
is doing large business from its head
quarters in this city. The main office
of this company is at No. 145 South
Broadway, and the factory is situated
on Stevenson street. Their specially is
the indestructible water pipe made
under United States patents granted to
John P. Culver, hydraulic engineer, for
water, gas, sewage and electrical con-
duits. This pipe is made OF two, three,
or more thicknesses of sheet iron or
steel rolled up solid in pure, hot as
phaltum, and single or double banded,
giving thickness of asphaltum between
each layer of iron, forming an impas-
sible barrier to corrosion and making
strong, tough and solid shell. The Off
GERS Of the company are: John P. Gull
yer, president; S. w. Little, vice-presi-
dent; j. r. Toberman, secretary and
treasurer, and S. M. Little, supern-
tendent.
Large quantities of the pipe made by
the Culver & Little company are now in
use in many OF the large irrigating sys-
TENS of Southern California, and the more
of it purchased the more popular it be-
comes. The company is now one of the
solid institutions of our prosperous sec
ton,

steekel Takes First Prize.


AT the fair that closed last night
there was display by the photographer
Steckel, which the judges decided was
fully entitled to the first prize over all
other displays in that line, and the pre-
mlum was so awarded. The display was
IN the art department, and there was no
exhibit in the fair which attracted more
universal attention. In addition to an
unusually fine exhibition of photo
graphs, which were greatly admired,
Mr.. Steckel also exhibited, for the first
time in Southern California, beautiful,
new style of portraiture, sepia enlarge
ments. They rivaled in brilliancy and
softness of tone anything which has
heretofore been produced. The display
was very extensive one, filing quite
large space, and crowds of interested
spectators could be observed at all hours
standing before the well.filled frames
containing the exhibit. There was
picture exhibited by Mr.. Steckel which
was not entered as an exhibit. 1t was
the picture OF lady's head, anu was
framed in oak. Notwithstanding the
fact that it was not entered, its merit
was so pronounced that the board of
awards gave it honorable mention. For
an ideal head it is equal to any work OF
the kind ever shown in Los Angeles, be-
ing strictly classical piece Of direct
photography. Mr.. Steckel has achieved
a reputation in his Photographic estab-
lishment at 222 South Spring street,
which must be very gratifying to him.
He is recognized as leader in his art in
this city, and there are few establish
ments, if any, in the state, that can
equal the work turned out by him.
