THERE is little doubt that the "still'
portions OF the worlds Columbian ex-
position will be kept open on Sundays.
That is to say, the machinery will not
be in motion, and only the exhibits
that can be enjoyed without the
employment of power or labor to
make them effective will be open
to the public. This will give the
laborer, who has only Sunday for devo-
ton and recreation-and neither is
inconsistent with the other--an oppor-
tunity to enjoy this great and instructive
object lesson. AS there will be hundreds
of thousands of people in Chicago dur
ing the fair, if they were not allowed to
spend q portion of their time on the
exposition grounds they would be apt to
put it in less innocently in other ways.
What harm there could possibly be in
allowing q man to devote portion OF
this day of rest in inspecting the works
of human genius the ordinary American
cannot see. Many of the most illustri-
GUS divines in the country are in favor
OF Sunday opening.

wu1rr the Democratic assault ON the

WHILE the Democratic assault ON the
court house ring at the late election was
only partially successful, it is pleasant
to know that all the indications point
to a splendid upheaval at the coming
CITY election, and that the affairs of the
city hall will be placed in the hands OF
competent and responsible officials.
There is little doubt that the great
bulk of the Peoples party vote will be
cast for the Democratic candidates.
Thomas E. Rowan for mayor has many
lines of strength. His personal popu
larity is unbounded, while his fine ex-
ecutive abilities and thorough-going
energy are appreciated by every one who
knows anything about the man, and
that means nearly every one in Los An
geles. His opponent, Mr.. Tufts, while
a worthy citizen, lacks the extensive &C
quaintance with local matters which
Mr.. Rowan has acquired through long
years of residence and the filling accept
ably OF many positions of trust and re-
sponsibility. The fact that the whole
country is Democratic will also cut some
figure in the matter. Mr.. Rowan's as
sociates on the ticket have also elected
the warm commendation of the public.

TT TAKES A NEW FORM.
A POCKET KNIFE THE FEATURE OF
THE LATEST BUNCO GAME.
Mr.. Dougherty of Newhall Has Lively
= Experience with Sure Thing Mon.
= He Gets Most of His Money
Back, However.

A young man named Dougherty, of
Newhall, came to the city last Sunday.
When he arrived he had $40 in his
pockets, and intended taking trip to
Dallas, Tex. He met smooth conf
dence operator, who talked glibly, and
who finally said that he, too, was on
his way to Dallas. They took stroll
over the hills, in the direction of the
poor house, when they met another man.
Finally the new man wanted to borrow
a knife with which to sharpen his lead
pencil. Dougherty's companion loaned
the man his knife. 1t was new kind
of knife, evidently made to be used in
confidence games.
The man opened the knife, sharpened
his lead pencil and returned it saying
that i. was hard to open. Finally the
third man took the knife, touched a
spring, and could not open it. He
winked at Dougherty, handed the knife
to the owner, and offered to bet him $50
that he could not open his own knife.
The owner put up $50, but
the third party had only $5,
so he persuaded Dougherty to
put up $40. The knife was opened very
easily; perhaps the owner had touched
another hidden spring. Dougherty then
saw that he was buncoed, and he
took the fellow to the hotel with him
and intended making him sleep in his
room. so that they could together 60 to
the bank next morning and cash 9
check, which the bunco man said that
he had. The buncoist attempted to
escape and Dougherty states that be
collared him and they went to q room
upstairs on Main street, near Second
where the fellow got 500 from one of hiE
associates and handed it to Doughertv
when he left, no doubt willing to let the
other 500 60 to the account of ex
perience.
The matter, with description of th'
men, was reported last evening to Cap
tain Roberts of the police department

AMUSE MENTS.

Los ANGELES THEATER - Professor
Tyndall prefacgd his entertainment last
evening with " statement of what he
styled as discourteous and unjust treat
ment by two or three doctors who called
at his hotel while he was still under the
influence OF cataleptic fit in conse.
quence of his severe test of thought
reading Saturday morning. ''It was un-
professional and shameful" said the
professor ''for those doctors to come
to my bedside unlimited and ex-
Observation-Disclosures and helpless as l
was, and unconscious OF my surroundings.
They had no business in my rooms, and
their action is very strange, to say the
least. If knew who they were I would
sue them for damages"
The remarks were loudly applauded.
Professor Tyndall gave several fine
tests, such as finding hidden objects,
telling an object thought of, card tests,
the number thought of by any one in
the audience, drawing a picture on the
blackboard previously thought of by an
auditor, and delivering sealed letters to
persons in the audience whose names
were written inside, and other mysteries
of sight power,
There will be change of programme

THE blonde-haired statesman, Col.
Walter S. Moore, has one consolation.
1t may be some balm to his spirit that
though he was beaten for state senator
by Gen. John r. Mathews he is steadily
reducing the percentage by which he is
beaten. When he ran for secretary OF
state in 1886 he was showed under to
about the tune of thirty-three hundred
in this county. When General Mathews
beat him tor the assembly two years
ago these figures were slightly reduced
in ratio. Last Tuesday showed an even
larger reduction. If Walter will only
not lose heart and persevere he may yet
get elected to something or other. We
commend to his consideration the coun-
sci of Orlando to old Adam in their
wearisome trip through the forest of
Ardennes, "Cheer thyself little. good
Adam; live little" Then he is enti-
tied to the consolation embodied in the
venerable adages, at is long Jane that
has no turning" 'It is always darkest
Just before dawn" Constant dropping
will wear stone," ""Live horse and you
will get grass" ETC., etc. The percent
age is there, and all Colonel Moore has

One of the happiest affairs of the sea-
son was the wedding last evening of Mr..

Harvey's Santa Fe route eating houses,
to Miss Katie Brockman of Silver City,
New Mexico. and niece of Hon. John
Brockman, o prominent banker and

was made particularly interesting owing
to the fact that so many personal
friends OF the groom are in the city, At

here as witnesses in suit for damages
against that road.
The wedding took place at 8 80 o'clock
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. Al

nard Biestman and Miss Mary Ehlers
acted as groomsman and bridesmaid.
Only personal friends witnessed the
happy affair.
After half hours reception the bride
and groom were driven to the Hollen-
beck, where the bridal chambers of that
hostelry were awaiting them and in the
parlors of which the happy pair held an
informal reception until nearly mid
night, at which time the entire party
were driven to Jerry Illich's. where 20
covers were laid, lunch fit for the
gods, and enjoyed by the mortals pres
ent as thoroughly as if they really
wore the crowns of the deity.

WE ARE glibly told by the San Fran
cisco Cali that ''a delusion prevails in
circles not we'll informed that the ad-
vent OF Democrats to power means the
abolition of customs du.ies." Before
the election the Call and all other Re-
publican papers did their utmost to
make this circle as wide as possible, and
even some of the discredited organs
hereaway are still pretending to be
ignorant of the fact that the great
bulk of the revenue to sustain the
government must be raised-and has
always been raised-from customs du-
ties. There is no danger that the De-
mocracy will handle the tariff go as to
iniure any deserving interest in the
country. It will place raw materials re-
quired in manufactures on the free list,
reduce the tariff on necessaries, and
raise it on luxuries and non-essentials.
Here is wide enough scope for all the
protection the country requires and for
all the revenue the government needs
for an honest administration OF its
affairs,

precincts in this county. The charges
over the votes already announced are
trifing. Banbury in these precincts
gains six votes over Shorb. It is esti-
mated that it will take four days to COM
plete the count. There have been a
number of inaccuracies on the part OF
the election officers, and in one precinct,
owing to the Jumping OF the returns for
Dillon on both the Democratic and Peo-
ple's tickets, it will be necessary to open
and scrutinize the ballots.
