WORLDS FAIR NOTES.

One OF the marvels of the recent olcc-
trical exposition ut Frank fort was IA six
foot electrical search light of 10000
candle power. Shuckertt, the Nurem-
borg electrician, astonished Europe in
its construction. Shuckertt is now at
work on larger light for tho Worlds
Fair. 1t will be seven and one half
feet and OF at least -, 600 candle power.
The Frankfort light could be seen
plainly at Bingcn on the Rhine, forty
live miles away. 1t is expected that
the search light at tho Worlds Fair
can DO seen at least sixty miles away.
Electrical Engineer Sargent is making
plans for a tower 800 feet high, on
which the big light will be mounted. At
height of 100 feet above tho ground
will be two six foot search lights, and
the three will suffice to illuminate the
skies for miloS around jackson Park.
Brilliant feats are accomplished with
these search lights. Sheets OF light can
be projected with parallel, converging
or diverging rays. When the rays are
thrown out parallel clearly defined
sheet of tlame seems to DO suspended
in the darkness. by changing tho re-
Hector tho rays are brought to focus
at long distance from the central sta.
ton. These lights turned on the build
lngs and alternately shot into tho heav-
ems. or out across tho lake, will produce
brilliant electrical effects.
a plan has been elaborated for rak-
ing tho Tyrolesc section perhaps tho
most entertaining part of Austrias OK.
hibit at tho Worlds Fair. The purpose
in arranging this section will be to give
as graphic u representation OF Tyroless
life and scenery as sible for a back

largest ice fields. In two cottages n.
the foot of the mountains two parties
will show their skill in SPINNING and

AGAIN DISMISSED.
Unlucky Wong Chee Once More Gut O
Trouble.

UnIucky Wong Chico Once More Gut of
Trouble.
The case of the People vs. Wong
Chez has been again disposed of, this
time by Justice Austin, who refused,
after examination, to hold him for the
murder of Fong All Lung, committed
about two years ago.
If all accounts are correct Wong Chee
has been pretty much out of luck for
several years. Quite while ago he was
tried in San Francisco for murder, and
was convicted and sentenced to San
Quentin for life. 1t was claimed at the
time by the defense that he was con-
victed on periured testimony, but he
was sent to the penitentiary. Accord
ing to the story, after he had served
few years countryman of Chee's, on
his deathbed in China, confessed to
having committed the crime for which
Chez was being punished. Upon this
showing, supported by affidavits OF
American consuls in China, Wong Chez
was pardoned, and soon came to Los
Angeles.
He was in town at the time of the
shooting of Fong All Lung. and an at
tempt was made to connect him with
the crime. Twice he was arrested or
that charge, and both times has beer
dismissed on motion of the district at.
torney. The present dismissal of the
case appears to be final.

HE PRAYED FOR MERCY.
HOW A PRETTY GIRL BROUGHT A
MASHER TO TIME.
Big Mistake-He Covers on the
Ground and Begs for Mercy.

One of the Insley & Kearney patrol
men saw funny sight last evening near
the corner of Second and Main streets,
at the entrance of the Newell block.
A pretty girl came down Second
street, and as she turned into the en-
trance Of the building mentioned, where
she lives, one of the many creatures
called "mashers" stepped up to her in
a suggestive way, and leering into her
pretty face, said: "Can't 1 have the
pleasure OF your company"
II don't know you, sir" answered the
girl, the color mounting to her face.
"Oh yes you do" was the answer
Don't be high and mighty. Are you
going up stairs?'
Yes, Pm going up stairs. I live
here," she answered. "But if you are a
gentleman you will go away at once"
"Oh, couldn't leave such sweet
girl as you are. 1 shall see you safely to
your room," the rascal continued. "a
mo, you WON'T" said the girl loudly,
meanwhile fumbling with her right
hand in convenient pocket.
How will you stop me?" he asked.

and in second the muzzie of pretty
little revolver was within three inches
OF his face, pointing steadily at point
midway between his two evil eyes.

cried. II was only fooling. / didn't
mean anything. Oh, do put that pistol
up. Please, please, put it up. Oh, it
may 60 off," and he dropped on his
knees, covering his eyes with his
trembling hands, go great was his ter
ror.
The patrolman had stood near enough
all the time to have taken hand in
the affair if necessary to help the girl
and now he came forward to assist in
the denouement.
you ought to shoot him, Miss, once
in the leg or arm, just to give him les
son." he said to the plucky girl, and al
this the prostrate masher redoubleC
his pleas for mercy, and was at length
allowed to depart.
The girl, as is usually the case will
women, was much excited after tn
affair was all over, but preserved he
pluck throughout. She is pretty
hafdworking young woman, employe,
inf the Corfu restaurant, and bears a.
irfepToachable character. If othe
young women would act with the sam
nerve, the audacity of the tribe of un
speakable fellows who make practic,
of forcing their offensive attentions OIL
unattended women would be materially
decreased.

~ Witness.
Mike Lenahan was arrested yesterday
morning by Officers Farmer and Ditenig
on a warrant charging him with disturb
ing the peace. In the trial before the
police court it was developed that Lena
han was administering punishment to
his child, which the complaining wit
nesses, Mr.. and Mrs. Lee, objected to.
The affair from the standpoint of Len
ahan seemed to be more of neighbours
quarrel than anything else, for when he
was on the stand testifying in his own
behalf he went deeply into the domestic
history of the complainants, and made a
few assertions that were neither relevant
to the case nor complimentary to the
parties in question. He was fined $8,
but remarked as he came down stairs /:
well, have had my say about them
anyway, and / guess it was worth So to

A FIsTIC EVENT.

Maber and Purcell to Come Together
Next Wednesday.
The fstic event,of the season in local
circles takes place next Wednesday
night at the Pastime club, when Billy
Maber of Australia and Purcell of Salt
Lake come together. There is bad blood
between the men, and in consequence
both men have trained hard for this
fight, and neither one proposes to lose on
the score of condition. Purcell is in
splendid form, and is already down to
the required weight. He can be relied
upon to enter the ring in fine form.
Maber il reported to ibe training like a
Trojan at Newhall. His last venture
has undoubtedly had very good effect
on the antipodean shadow. A lucky
combination of affairs only prevented
Maber from being ignominiously de-
feated by Purcell. Maber will be diff
fereDt man when he enters the ring
next Wednesday night.

The Mystery About Young San Fran
, cisco Girl.

The Mystery About Young San Fran
cisco Girl.
The San Francisco papers forrthe past
few days have contained articles refer
ring to the disappearance of Leona
Peters, 16-year-old girl of that city,
and the arrest of young man from the
east on charge of abducting her. The
accounts also state that she had made
application to the Agnes Huntington
opera company for engagement in the
chorus, and it was supposed that she
was now on the stage as a member of
the Paul Jones crew of sailors.
Mr.. Schrt der, the manager of the
company, when asked yesterday by a
HERALD reporter if the girl was with his
company, replied that she was not, and,
as far as he knew, had made no applica-
tion to Join. In fact, he knew nothing
ahOut her
