a GRAND SPECTACLE.

A Remarkable Display Of Aurora Boroaiis
Visible at Numerous Points In tho
United States.
NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-The heavens
presented a magnificent display Of the
aurora borealis Saturday evening.
Shortly after z o'clock it suddenly
burst forth from the northern sky like
long, lofty banners of fire. The
columns of scarlet light rose higher.
and higher, until they almost
reached the zenith, and then
sank away again to mere tufts of fire.
Again they spread in ribbons of
claret- colored light almost across the
northwestern horizon, making sight
of magnificent beauty. Then the col
umns of each end of the aurora's arch
disappeared, only to increase the gilt
ter and glory of the central pill
lars of fire. Thus apparently strength
ened, this pillar shot far toward
the zenith, looking like a large Ionic
column supporting the vault OF the sky.
The huted column was rs perfect and
regular as any ever seen in Grecian
temple. The reflection of the crimson
colors upon the waters of the North
river was brilliant in the extreme. The
river seemed Il mass of flowing
claret or a river of blood. At first it
was feared in the city that some
fire had begun its ravages and had
thrown it's reflection upon the skies.
There was for time some excitement
in the fire department, and alarms
were expected at every minute.

aurora borealis Saturday evening was
possibly the most wonderful ex-
hibition of the kind ever seen from
the American soil Dispatches to the
Associated Press show that the
phenomenon stretched over a great belt
of territory from Iowa to the Atlantic
ocean. The magnificent spectacle was
scientifically observed at the Univer-
sity of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Astro-
nomical Director W. J. Hussey, of that
institution, wired the result to the
Associated Press as follows:
1.-THE brilliant red rose aurora visible Satur-
day night was not altogether unexpected In
general way auroras have been predicted for
about this time. Saturday nights display
naturally follows the appearance OF the great
sun spot which has been visible during the past
week. Other auroral displays may be expected
in the near future -
Other dispatches to the Associated
Press show that the phenomenon was
witnessed at New York, Louisville,
Cincinnati, Cleveland. Columbus,
Toledo, Detroit, Indianapolis, and at
Illinois and Iowa points, Tut not at St
Louis, Kansas City or Memphis.
ANN AREoR, Mich, Feb. 15.-W. J.
Hussey, of the university observatory,
says that the great sun spot observed
by Miss Low, of Toronto, on the 10th
was discovered by him on the 5tl.

one, as it would scarcely have been
possible to discover it a day earlier, the
suns revolution not having progressed
far enough. He estimates that it is

in breadth. The black spots around the
enormous assure have now broken up

THE DEADLY TIN PLATE.

Southern California is a great fruit
producing country, and anything that
affects the tin-plate supply, affects like
wise the canned fruit industry that has
given employment to so much skilled
labor to the southwark of the San
Joaquin.
Southern California has no fish can
neries, but obtains her supplies of such
products from the far north. Up to five
years ago, all the canned salmon came
from three rivers. the Sacramento, the
Rogue, and the Columbia. The gradual
increase in the price of fresh fish on the
latter stream, brought about change
of base, and all the larger salmon can
neries removed from there into Alaskan
waters. The region alluded to produces
no fruit whatever. and affords, there
fore, growing market for our
products; and 1t is this ex-
change of products that is creating a
gradual increase in our coastwise trade.
Now comes a menace to that trade.
The duty on tin plate is 80 much higher
III Am6rlcA I1du III bHo uOmlulOu VI
Canada (of which British Columbia
forms part), that the salmon canneries
of the Frazer, Skeena and Mass rivers
will be able to undersell our canneries
in all the foreign markets. There the
price of tin plate is 3.55 cents per pound,
while in America it is sos. This differ
ence in tin plate, allowing the cost of
raw fish to be equal, is liable to inter-
| fere seriously with our northern fruit
market which can produce no early de-
ciduous fruits and no citrus fruits at
all. II the Alaska canneries cannot sell
their fish they cannot be in position to
purchase our fruits.
Puget Sound has several canneries
putting up CLANS, which find ready sale
all through this country; and in return
for which we send fruits up to the
Mediterranean of the Pacific" whose
orchards produce no peaches nor april
cots. If their clam trade is spoiled by
competition from British Columbia we
shall lose some good trade. The tin
plate trust is a pig, and its greedy fore
paws are in every poor mans dish Of
canned apricots and cream. Tin plate
duty must come down.

THAT FURNITURE BUSINESS.

The doughty and decorous Express
reads the HERALD lecture for its utter
ances of yesterday morning on the way
that the furniture for the government
building in this city, is being,purchased
in Washington. 1t goes on to say:
Our Democratic contemporary (the
straight-out HERALD) complains that
the carpets and furniture for the new
| federal building in this city have been
| purchased at Washington and not in
Los Angeles. OF course, it would be
satisfaction, locally, had the supplies
been bought here instead of at Wash
iDgton. But these matters are governed
by law and official custom. 1t may be
assumed that the government purchases
of carpets and furniture are made by
Wholesale and from manufacturers, at
the lowest rates. 1t is very likely, how
ever, that had the outfit for the new
building been bought in Los Angeles,
the HERALD would have tried to make a
little political capital by denouncing the
purchases aE Republican 'job."
The HERALD has nothing to say about
anybody in Los Angeles concerning this
affair, because it knows nothing wherein
any person is implicated. What it does
know is that all these purchases are
made from son-in-Iaw of Mr.. Clarkson
by Mr.. Wanamaker or one OF his depu-
ties. But it is safe to say that none of
the commission" goes to that deputy.
But, then, as Oakes Ames said, ''This
isn't bribery-it's business
The cost of the furniture for the build
ing is trifle over $4,000, and we will
name three furniture firms doing busi-
ness in this city who will guarantee to
duplicate every article in the invoice,
freight paid, for $500. The freight on
the goods mentioned will bring the total
cost up to $500, or thereabouts. Br'er
Wanamaksr is not Republican for his
health.
In the same consignment of goods for
the federal building, are no less than
twelve clocks. Now, what on earth do
they want of twelve clocks? Another
item in that consignment is newspaper
rack, invoiced at $1,000. We will fur
nish one equally as good for $125, from
any one of half dozen cabinet makers
shops in this city. Mr.. Clarkson had
better make most of his time, for he
has only a few months more in which to
perpetrate his legalized larcenies.
Wanamaker will have to 60, too, and
there will be no more chance for him to
use the envelopes of his office for adver-
tising dodges. II will soon be nice for
them to become private citizens.

POMONA, Aug. 8.-The city trustees arr
now sitting as board OF equalization
They became such board this morning
when President Rolph called them tc
order, and Member Gallup acted az
clerk. President Rolph's eye looked
stern and hard, and Mr.. Gallup acceded
to the wishes of the board-for the mag.
nifcent salary allowed for this work.
But there is prelude. At the ad-
journed meeting of the council, on FRI
day evening last, a session was called
for this morning at 8 80 O'Clock, to again
take up the matter of electing a city
clerk. At the appointed hour, how
ever, the two high-license members were
on hand, and as time dragged along,
waiting for the appearance of the two
prohibition members, the reporters
listened to the funny stories.
At last appeared S. ]. Rolph, bearing
q heavy burden, one of the city's books,
and in minute or two along came
Colonel Rhorer at break-neck speed.
Then general idea prevailed that these
two had been concocting some scheme
to elect their man, but such was not the
case, as results proved.
The first ballot for city clerk resulted
in tie between G. A. Carter and j. r.
Garthside. The next time the two Pro-
hibitionists voted for H. s. Finney, and
the result was tie between Garthside
and Finney. fea
Health Officer Roses request for the
board to have circulars printed, stating
that the sanitary laws would be en-
forced and giving the rules, was granted,
800 circulars being ordered printed.
The council then adjourned until Fri
day afternoon. In the meantime the
board will meet as board of equaliza-
ton.

Wonderful Game Which Came OF

A Wonderful Game Which Came OF
Yesterday.
The long-looked-for game of baseball,
between the St. Elmo's and Vienna
Bullets, took place yesterday afternoon
at the Athletic club grounds.
The names of the players and their
positions were as follows:
st. Elmos-Tom Savage, captain, p.

The Viennas had first innings, when
Manning stepped to the bat, attired in
green tights. The band, composed of two
Italian boys saving fddles, played God
Joe kept time to the music by wildly
sion; he was retired to the shade of the
two large sized beer kegs, where he did
himself full justice. Mcdonald and
Morley scored two runs in this innings.
The st. Elmos had the next inning,
and scored one, made by Arbuckle.
After this the scores ran up at lightning
speed. The players became excited
Manning, when reprimanded by Umpire
Tredway. talked back and was ordered
to the bleachers, where he went, to the
delight of everyone.
In the fifth inning Tom Savage
knocked the ball over the fence and
started. for home run, but gave out at
third and had to be carried to the home
plate.
John McGinnis, who was allowed to
play first base for the st. Elmos, was
relieved in the sixth inning, on the
ground that he did not know anything
about the game.
John Brink played a good game, but
caused considerable hilarity by his
Adonis-like form. John weighs about
215 pounds, the 200 being above the
hips and the rest below.
Charlie Fox looked shining in sky
blue uniform and was greatly admired.
Tom Smith was released in the sixth
inning for being too promiscuous around
the kegs.
Geo. Arbuckle is a good player and
saved the st. Elmos from defeat in the
beginning by putting out three men.
He was loudly applauded and on reach
ing the plate was presented with the
same bouquet that Savage had got in
the earlier part of the game.
At the end of the game the score stood
48 to 43 in favor of the St. Elmos.
