E. J. HALLS REMoDELED STORE.

7 For some time past carpenters have been busily engaged upon the building occupied by Ezra J. Hall as stove and tin store. As a result a wonderful transformation has been accomplished in the interior of the building and Mir Hall now has greatly improved quarters, where he can show his line of stoves and attend to the repairs, The main or show room has been nearly doubled in size and an addition built on in the rear that is occupied as a repair shop. A new stairway has been put in and on the upper floor MT Hall has addi- tional space for his stock. MT Hall has already some contracts on hand and is to put new furnace and heating apparatus in St Stephens church at Stepney. He will also refit and fix up the heating apparatus at Castle Ronalds. and is now at work putting the furnace in first class condition at the Rubber company's house, for Superintendent Sloane. His prospects are for a busy season at least.

TRUMBULL.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.

It has been suggested that Trumbull should have a village improvement society organized this fall. Certainly there is plenty to do along this line. Nature has done much for the place and it only needs little assistance year by year to make it delightful country village. If the railroad would give us a new station, and a few sidewalks could be laid, and the land in front of the stores could be graded, it would make a great change in the appearance of things.

THE CHAUTAUQUA COURSE.

Persons wishing to take the Chautau- quested to give their names to Rev w. F. White, as early as possible. The year begins October l, and those taking the course should be provided with books by that date. The course is admirably adapted for old and young, is economi- cal and satisfactory. Persons taking the full course of four years can gradu- ate. Those taking one or two years will be credited with the work done, and they can go on at any time they may chose. The necessary time ex- pended by any one who can read intelli- gently need not be more than one hour day for nine months in the year. Certainly this will not interfere with any business or social requirements, but will be an aid to them. Many can not afford the time or the money for that higher education than can be obtained in the ordinary public schools. For such this course of home study meets long felt need. It is hoped that a much | larger class than last year will begin the new year of study.

They Will Be Addressed by Lecturer
6pAuIding.
Los Angeles is at last to have season
of Browning. While there is no Brown
ing society in this city the poet has here
many ardent admirers and thoughtful
students. A special impulse to the
study Of Browning's policy was given a
year ago when the Rev. Henry G.
Spaulding of Boston, read before the
Friday Morning club an admirable
paper on Browning's Pompilia. An ar
rangement has now been made by the
Ruskin Art club for q course OF three
lectures with readings by this gentleman,
to be given in Unity church on the even
ings of March Sd, 9TH and 10th. Mr..
Spaulding is we'll known at the east as a
Browning scholar and intelligent land
what is better, an intelligible) inter-
prefer Of the poet.
He was for some time the active
leader of the Browning society of Bos-
ton, uf which Col. T. w. Higginson Was
president. The themes on which he is
to speak in Los Angeles are: Brown
ing's Band of Music with piano and fife
illustrations) Browning's Ideal of Love
and Womanhood; Browning's interpre-
tation Of Human Lille. These lectures,
besides being specially enjoyable as lit
erary entertainments, are well adapted
to interest the hearer in the works OF
one OF the great poets OF this century,
whose writings are more and mooe in
fuencing the thought OF our age.

TWO FIRES.

MIRA. John Wilson Badly Burned--A
Bakery Consumed.
About O'Clock yesterday morning the
old adobe house on Thirtieth and San
Pedro streets was totally burned, to-
gether with all of the household effects.
The loss is about $2500, upon which
there was no insurance.
The house was occupied by John Will
son and wife, old and we'll known resi-
dents of this city. The fire was occa-
stoned by the accidental overturning of
candle that was being used by Mrs.
Wilson.
The bedding coon caught fire, and
Mrs. Wilson was badly burned by the
flames before her husband could rescue
her. He succeeded in carrying her out
of the burning building, when she was
taken to friends house and physician
sent for. Her wounds are not danger
GUS. Mrs. Wilson is 20 years Of age.
ANOTHER BLAZE.
There was small blaze in bakery
on Washington, near Nam street, yes
terday morning about 10 O'Clock. 1t
originated from the usual defective flue.
Loss, about 500 to the bakery and
building. The building was insured.

HOODLUM DOGS.

A Complaint About the Ours Which In
fest the City.
"Your driveways are very beautiful
and your residences hsndsome," re-
marked a stranger in town to a HERALD
reporter last night, "but l am surprised
at one thing, and that is the number of
dogs, mongrel ours mostly, that even an
Indian would be ashamed of, that seem
to be owned or harbored by the
owners of come of your prettiest places.
That is all right; every one to his taste !;
but object seriously to allowing these
dogs to run in the streets and among
the horses of people who are riding and
driving. Why it was only few days
ago, while on Adams street, which I be-
lieve you take very natural pride in,
saw lady with q child driving in a
handsome phaeton, with what seemed
to be safe family horse.
In passing rather pretantious house
a number of the commonest ours (s1me
of which had collars and ribbons on,
thus chasing them above the tramp
ran out barking and swapping at the
animal. The horse, very nervous one,
became at once excited and tried to
bolt. 1t was impossible for the lady to
use whip on the dogs, her time being
entirely engrossed in attempting to con-
troll the horse. This continued for a
block or more. What struck me 81
especially peculiar, man, seemingly
the owner of the premises, or connected
therewith, from which this pack OF pests
had emanated, stood quietly by and
witnessed the annoyance, not to say
danger, with rather an amused ex.
preston of countenance, and did moth
ing. A bakers lad, with better man
ners, leaped from a passing wagon and
solved the dilemma with a few stones.
While out with horae today could
scarcely pass block without being
similarly annoyed. l presume you
have city ordinances controlling this
thing, but it would strike me that an
other step towards establishing your
claims OF rivalry with eastern cities
would be an abatement of this nuisance.
''If yon can't do better, proclaim a
bounty, as I understand you do. on
coyotes, for the hide, ears or tails OF all
dogs whose masters cannot, or will not,
teach them better manners than at
tacking animals on public thorough
fares"

PLUCKY GIRLS.
What Couple of Redlands Young
Women Have Done.

What Couple of Redlands Young
Women Have Done.
Those who think that it requires a
bank account to gain start in South
California are referred to the experience
of three young ladies who own property
in Redlands, says the Citrogrsph OF that
place. These young ladies (we are not
at liberty to give their nsmes) live in
the east, where they are engaged in
clerical work at moderate salaries.
Three or four years ago they bought
10 acres of unimproved land ON the
Heights, and made one payment. Just
before the time for the second payment
came the bank in which their savings
were deposited failed and left them pen
niless. They borrowed enough money
to make the payment, and not only have
they repaid the debt. but have finished
paying for their land, and have the tract
planted to orange trees, making one of
the handsomest young orchards in this
section. When they were here last they
helped to plant the trees, doing mans
work without complaining. They hire
the orchard cared for, and are anxiously
awaiting the time when it will come
into bearing, that they may make their
home here. They already have plans
out for residence.
