NEARLY A TRAGEDY.
Two Chinamen Quarrel Over the vege-
table Trade.

Two Chinamen Quarrel Over the vege-
table Trade.
Two Chinese vegetable peddlers got
into a row yesterday morning which
might have resulted in tragedy had
one of them used an ugly looking knife
with little more precision. The China
men had been selling vegetao oles to a
lady living on Grand avenue north OF
Fifth street, and serious rivalry had
sprung up between them. Sometimes
one OF them thought he had the best of
the competition, and at other times the
other was in high feather over the sale
of two more punches of radishes than
his opponent.
They had little row a few weeks ago
about it, but yesterday the Cinnamon
met at the house, and their eyes flashed
FIRE. Adjoining the house is a two
story house, No. 422 South Grand ave-
nue., into which Mr.. La Fleur and
family were moving. While they were
engaged in putting things to rights
the door suddenly flew open and
the Chipamen rushed in. One of them
had taken refuge in the nearest place !;
and his assistant, whose name is given
in the complaint as Cue Sing, fourished
butcher knife, which had been ground
down to fine point. He endeavored to
cut his rival, but the latter made such
an outcry and the family also, that he
became frightened, dropped the knife
and ran away. He succeeded in cutting
his rival in the hand. but not seriously.
The scene was very exciting for q
time, and the occupants of the house
were frightened almost out of their
senses by the wild.eyed Celestials. Cue
Sing had not been arrested up to late
hour last night.

THE KIRMEsS.

A Report of the Result Of the
Affair.
The members of the Industrial asso-
citation and the various Kirmess COM
mittees met at KrAmer's hall on Thurs
day.
Mrs. Chas. T. Parsons, manager of the
Kirmess. submitted an itemized report ::
Total receipts from sale of tickets at
the theater, $2803; total expense,
$142O; balance, $l3S2.93. Programme
report, forty-three pages OF advertise
ments, $352; expense printing pro-
gramme. $108; balance, $244.30 net
profit, $1627.23
Upon motion the report was adopted
as read, after which vote of thanks
was rendered Mrs. Parsons for her
efficient management, also to Miss M.
Fette, Mrs. DR.. Hagan, Mrs. Andrews,
Mrs. Kramer and their able assistants.
The contract price with Professor
Kramer was $3.50, but the ladies feeling
that he had been to much additional
expense, owing to three months post
ponement, voted to pay him $3.50 extra,
which will reduce the net profit to
$1477.23, this amount is on deposit in
the City bank to the credit of the In
dustrial association.

AN INTELLIGENT DOG.
He Looked at Cottrell's Face and wa
Satisfied.

He Looked at OottrelPs Face and was
Satisfied.
A very intelligent dog materialized
yesterday afternoon on Second street,
between Main and Spring streets. He
looked like st. Bernard dog, and while
walking along the block discovered q
child's straw hat, which was decorated
with an astonishing assortment of arti-
fetal flowers. He picked it up in his
mouth and made bee-line to the first
man he saw. Laying the hat down he
spoke to the man by barks, and very
plainly indicated that he wished to have
something done about the matter The
man laughed and said he was fool dog.
The intelligent animal made several
attempts to secure the attention of the
people to his prize, but without effect
until he ran across s. II. Kingery, who
sympathized with his evident desire to
restore the hat to it's owner. Mr.. Kin
gerry took the hat, and followed by the
dog went to the pulice station, where he
left the highly ornamental article. The
dog reared up on his hind feet and
looked Police Clerk Cottrell fairly in the
face as he stood at the window. He
seemed little in doubt whether or not
the urbane official was joshing him, but
when the clerk told him that it was all
right he was satisfied that he was look
ing at an honest man, and trotted of
cOntentedly.

SCALE BUG EATERS,
Antipodean Insects of Great
Value.
A Question of How Rapidly They Will
Propagate.
The Black Scale Parasite Not Tncreas-
Ing Fast-The vedalia Working
Slowly on the White Scale.
Other Points.

horticultural Commissioner John
Scott for several days past has been
watching with good deal OF interest
the progress of the propagation of the
latest importation Of the new Australian
parasites for the destruction of the black
scale.
These parasites are under the direct
charge of Prof. Coquilett, and are To-
Gated on Judge Silent's place on Adams
street, and the new parasites for the red
ecale are at M. Kercheval's place. The
black scale parasite, contrary to expec-
tatlons. is not showing encouraging
signs OF reproduction, while the para
sites for the red scale are increasing but
slowly. There is no doubt at all that
the latter feeds voraciously on the red
scale, and the question that remains to
be determined is whether it will propa-
gate rapidly enough to be of any value.
They do not produce as rapidly as the
Vedalia Cardinals, and are by no means
as active as the latter insects. The re-
cent cold weather, however, may have
had something to do with this retarda-
tion. If the present warm spell con-
tinues for two or three weeks, however,
Mr.. Scott and Prof. Coquilett will have
an opportunity of judging of the value
OF these new parasites under better con-
ditions.
They have noticed that the Vedalia
Cardinals has worked much more slowly
this year on the white scale, although it
is still doing good work, this being due
to the cool weather also. Mr.. Scott is
sending on an average from eight to ten
colonies of Vedalia Gardinalis per day to
fruit growers in this section. G. May
has also sent two large colonies to the
Bermudas, one large colony to Mexico
and one to. Tahiti. colony will con-
sist of from ten to fifty insects, and they
propagate rapidly. Farmers receiving
these colonies are especially requested
to take pains in their care and propaga-
ton. Mr.. Scott has found that the red
ant is very destructive to small colonies
OF the Vedalia, and farmers are eau
toned against placing them on trees in
tested with the ants, or else take meas
ures to destroy the ants. Mr.. Scott ia
always ready to ssupply colonies to
farmers whose trees are infested with
white scale.

MCDONALD SENTENCED.
The Cathedral Burglar Sent to Folsom
For Ten Years.

The Cathedral burglar sent Co FOLSOM
For Ten Years.
Yesterday morning Judge Mckinley
of the superior court sentenced A. E.
Mcdonald to ten years'iimprisonment in
Folsom prison for burglary in the first
degree. Mcdonald, it will be remem-
bsred, was convicted of stealing the
sacred vessels from the cathedral in this
city and melting them down and dis
posing of them as bullion.
, When Mcdonald came up for sentence
his attorney was not present. A motion
for new trial was made by the pris-
oner and overruled and then appealed
to the mercy of the court.
Judge Mckinley, in passing sentence,
said that the evidence unerringly
pointed to Mcdonald as the guilty party,
and he thought it would be for the best
interests of the community and for the
prisoner himself to administer the full
sentence of the law, ten years in Folsom.

EDUCATORS MEET.
The Los Angeles County Association
Meeting.

The Los Angeles County Association
Meeting.
The Los Angeles County Educational
association held its first meeting yester-
day in the High school building. The
meeting was well attended and was
very interesting one.
Z The association originated during tn e
late county teachers institute, when
the High school section organized part
OF it's members as an association in the
interests OF education and to promote
teaching as profession. Its meetings
are to be held every second Saturday of
the school months. The organization
now numbers ninety. It is not confined
in its membership to teachers only, but
to residents of the county.
Judging from his experience in edu-
cational work, DR.. Leroy d. Brown,
the president of the association, is a
man we'll suited to launch such an or
ganization. He has spent his mature
years in the profession of teaching and
experimenting. He served a double
term in Ohio as state superintendent of
public instruction. As member of
and officer in the National Teachers
association he has done valuable work.
He is now principal of the high school
and superintendent of the other schools
in Santa Monica, which position he
LETT our own high school to take.
In his address President Brown threw
out number of queries for the consid-
GRAFTON OF the association. Among them
were the following:
Shall the state do more or do less for
public education?
La the course of study for public
schools too brief or too extended?
Are there enough methods of instruc.
tion already, or do the schools need a
greater supply of these?
Shall the schools be continued for
greater length of time than nine months,
or shall the number of school months
be diminished for the year?
Interesting papers were read by Miss
E. A. Packard of Los Angeles on High
School Training and Citizenship, and
by DR.. J. H. Hoose OF Pasadena on Linn
itations to Educating the Senses. Both
papers elected discussion, and were en-
ioyed by all present.
