1t Is Only Ten Inches Long. but Is Per
feet In EHerK WAY.

iecN IN Every way
Bernard J Kelley, who lives in New
York is the possessor of the smallest
perfect violin in existence. One with
hand of any size can span it from
end to end. 1t is about ten inches
long and the diminutive bow is but
nine. The instrument is fully forty
years old. Yet it is in all respects a
perfect violin, even as to tone. It was
made in Milan and is a fac-simile of
the instrument Of one of the great
italian masters. who had left his VIC
lin with an expert violin-maker to be
repaired.
The instrument maker made the
fac-simile for show window adver-
tisement, but overtaken by ill luck,
he had to sell it 1t finally came in
to the possession of Professor Malcolm
Hoffman, the composer. who has writ
ten a great deal Of band and ballroom
music. He purchased it for s25 and
on his return to America from Italy
presented it to his little granddaughter,
Mr.. Reiley's son. The instrument is
quite curiosity but the strings are so
near together that it requires delicate
touch to play it

POMONA, March 10.
The city council at its meeting
Thursday night received the petition to
cut off certain portions OF territory from
the city. The petition was referred to
the city attorney. The council also re-
ferred to the city attorney the question
of amending ordinance 50, if possible, SO
as to allow hotels to serve wines to
guests. 1t seems to be the disposition
to get this matter upon the same basis
in this respect that Pasadena now stands
upon. Mr.. Moody informed us yester-
day that there had at no time been any
intention OF prosecuting hotels for serv-
ing wines to guests, but under the
ordinance, as it now stands, they would
not be exempt from prosecution.

considerably zigzagged.

SANTA MONICA, March 10.
All the petitions for candidates under
the Australian ballot law to have their
names printed in the municipal ticket
for the forthcoming city election were
filed yesterday with City Clerk Pollard,
there being no difference from the
names already published save in the
case of John Whitworth, who withdrew
at. the last moment, James S. Wilson's
name being placed in his stead.
The completed ticket of all the candi-
dates is as follows:
Trustees, E. J. Vawter, Thomas A..
Lewis, ]. J. Carriilo, N. A. Roth, Jacob
M. Rogers and James S. Wilson; city
treasurer, George Boehme, sr.; city
clerk, H. E. Pollard and Charles S.

well. l.. I. Fisher, II. A. Winslow, 0. q.
Tullis and R. r. Harris.
1t now remains for the voters to make
up their minds, and then on election
day to make their mark opposite to their
favorite candidates names.
There is one good thing about the
Australian ballot law; namely, the
banishment of the workers to 100 feet
from the polls.

bids for street sprinkling.
Specifications for the grading of Cali

was directed to draft resolution OF inten.
tion on same.

yesterday.
The Meek family were in Justice
Gardner''s court again yesterday; this
time the little boy was put up to steal
several gold rings and other valuables
from Mrs. Manter of the Carlton restau-
rant. The Judge bound the boy over to
owait the action of the superior court.
This being the fourth or fifth time that
this family have figured in this sort of
scrape, it would seem to be time some
thing was done to break it up.
The presentation of Damon and Pyth-
las by the Laurie Dramatic club, under
the auspices OF the Knights of Pythias,
on Friday evening, was very fair one,
considering the fact that the partici-
pants were amateurs, and 1t deserved
far better house than was accorded it.
A little more force and less constraint
on the part of some of the players would
have added materially to the perform
ance. Little Silvia Laurie as Damon's
child was very good. Mr.. Chas. Eller-
by as Damon, W. G. Stone as Pythias,
Laurie as Calanthe and Miss May Bow
man as Hermione did their parts very
creditably.

A Couple of Criminal Libel Suits.

Special Correspondence to the HERALD. =
REDLANDs, March 10.
And now comes the fun for Redlands
gossips. H. Ellis, of this city, has
had warrant Issued for the arrest OF
Edgar F. Howe, editor OF the Facts,
charging him with criminal libel. Some
time ago the Otis block took fire through
mysterious circumstances, and the store
room which Mr.. Ellis occupied was
where the fire originated. A good deal
OF blame was rested upon Mr.. Ellis, and
he was subsequently indicted by the
grand jury and had his trial in the
county courts and was acquitted. Be-
fore Ellis had been arrested the Facts
came out with some strong items which
were not at all in favor of Mr.. Ellis. Con-
sequently he has brought this charge
against Editor Howe.
Papers are also in the hands of off
ones charging Vinton L. Mitchell, our
prominent dry goods merchant, with
libel, and suing him for $25, 900, because
he expressed himself lao Ellis says) to o
freely as to the origin Of the FIRE.

Minnesota Democrats.

ST.. PAUL, April 1.-The Mime
sofa Democratic state convention
held yesterday was very enthus-
iastic. Cleveland was endorsed by
the meeting in resolution instruct
ing the delegates to the national
convention to work for him, which
went through with a rush. The
platform opposes protection, favors
gradual reform of the tariff. On
coinage it holds in accordance with
the traditional policy of our party,
the use of both gold and silver, and
that sole coinage is function of the
government, to examine the relative
values Of metals of coinage estaD-
lished by commerce and If there be
sufficient fluctuations of value either
to make the existing ratios unequal,
then to readjust the ratio so the
number of grains either in metal or
in a dollar be equivalent in value,
and then permit the free unrestrict-
ed coinage of both metals. Repeal
of the Sherman silver coinage act is
demanded.
