SACRED HEART CHURCH FAIR.

An Agreeable Surprise to the Congrega-
tion Financially and Socially
The largest crowd that has yet assem-
bled at Banquet hall, East Los Angeles,
attended the fair last evening. Those
who for the first time were present were
full Of admiration at the manner in
which the hall is decorated. While
some of the booths, twelve In number,
are white, some are red, crimson or
green, others of variegated colors. The
artistic effect, taking the hall az whole,
ID something excellent.
The ladies. without being importu-
nate, lose no opportunity of adding to
their finances. In the hall business and
pleasure are combined. Certain por-
tions of the evening are devoted to busi.
ness; when business is suspended the
programme begins. Tableax form an
Important factor in the makeup OF
each evenings enjoyment.
While as rule money is at present
scarce In the United States, the manner
in which it is disbursed at church fair
In Los Angeles shows rs we'll ae do the
clearing house reports that our fair city
is an exception to the general rule.
Judging from the cordislity of the re-
ception committee, the courtesy of the
ladies and the general tone OF bustle OF
those attending the fair, it will be pro-
'nounced success. As rule the hall is
not closed till after IL o'clock and even
thenlit seems rather difficult to disperse
the crowd.
This evening will, as usual, be the last
and principal evening of the fair. We
wish it success and hope soon to see the
new church fully equipped.

The District Attorney Reprores somr
.Tuaftc~s.

The District Attorney ReproTes somp
Justic-s.
A letter has been addressed By Dis
trict Attorney Dillon to Justice e.
Barnes OF Pomona, with reference to
vagrancy cases, which contains some
wholesome advice to the magistrates OF
the county. and throws food Of light
on the course OF some OF them.
1t was directed to claims which the
justice put in to the board Of supervisors
for aever al vagrancy CAGES. In the
course OF the letter the district attorney
says:
"The reason your claim for July was
cut was becauss of the number OF
vagrancy cases reported by you. The
board of supervisors are OF the opinion
that IL ia not very eerions crime to be
poor and out OF work, and that entirely
too much expense has been imposed
upon the people for the prosecution of
this claes OF caees. Being thoroughly
satisfied on this proposition, the board
soIne thIee or four months since issued
a circular which they caused to be sent
to every justice and constable in this
county, urging upon them the propriety
of doing lcss OF tha kind Of business.
''The Wishes of the board were very
generally respected by the justices. The
cost to the county for the prosecution Of
vagranta was Immediately reduced from
about $1,000 per month to less than 5000
per month. Many OF the Justices have
reported no vagrancy cases since that
time.
Only two justlces, Mr.. Reed Of San
Fernando ana yourself. have manifested
dispos stion to ignore the wishes Of the
board as expressed in said circular.
"Some two months since the board
cut out OF Mr.. Reeds claim % yagrancy
cases in one month, and in your July
claim they allowed you for five vagraucy
cases out of nine reported.
"The expenses of this county are nec-
essarily very great, and the board deem
it their duty to cut off all unnecessary
and uncalled-for expenses. The board
does not believe that it is necessary tc
assess the taxpayers OF this county for
SIS, 1000 to $25, 900 per year for the prose-
cution of vagrants."
The letter goes on to give the nine va
grancy cases in detail, the total demand
being $l25, and says that If each OF the
40 justices were allowed to keep up this
lick it would cost the county for vagran-
cy cases s6125 per month, or $73,500
year.

JUSTICES COURT.

Vincent McGiIvcry Found Guilty of
Aggravated Battery.
Vincent MeGilvery, an employee of
the National Ice company, was on trial
yesterday before Justice Austin upon an
aggravated charge of battery.
The complaining witness, A. F. Joyaux,
appeared in court with his head swathed
in bandages, the result of broken jaw
and nose. aA
From the evidence of a number of
witnesses, it appears that McGilvery, in
company with humber of other young
men, was In a private room Of West

partition, was Joyaux and two young
women.
McGilvery and his companions were
creating considerable disturbance and
ueing obscene language which was per-
fectly audible in the next room where
the women were sitting.
Joyaux got up and going to McGilvery
requested him to talk in lower tone,
telling him that his female friends OBJ
jected to their conversation.
McGilvery replied with some still
bbiouNcf nhSu"S03 WhiCh WAS dii tu6
satisfaction Joyaux got.
Soon afterwards all the parties left,
and McGilvcry seeing Joyausc went up
to him and struck him.
A. Beatty. one of McGilvery's own
Witnesses, testified that he cav the de-
iendant strike Joyausx blow which
knocked him down. Joyausx rose to
his knees and his assailant struck him
another heavy blow, telling him again
to the ground.
Joyausx rose to his feet and made
pass at McGilvery but was knocked
down for the third time.
The complainant's jaw was broken in
two places and his nose broken.
Justice Austin unhesitstingly found
the defendant guilty and ordered him to
appoar for sentence this afternoon.
There were number of witnesses ex-
amined. many of those 10. the defence
telling conflicting stories with the ex-
ception Of Beatty, who, although called
by this defense, proved to be the strong

rho pulso of rork.Is a I,rn,..

Several weeks ago one Of the boys at
tending tho Queen Elizabeth grammar
school at Kingston, Logan by name,
wrote privately to the Duke of York and
suggested that he should use his infu-
ence to secure the boys of the royal
school an additional weeks holiday at
midsummer as an appropriate way of
celebrating the recent auspicious mar
riage. The Duke of York appears to
have approved of the idea, for few
days ago the governors of the grammar
school were surprised to receive letter
from Sir Francis de Winton stating that
his royal highness wculd be pleased if
they would grant the asked for holiday.
Nothing was known by the masters or
other authorities of the request made by
the boy till the letter was received from
Sandringham. At a meeting of the gov
eTnors it was unanimously agreed to ac-
cede to the request The announcement
was received with ringing cheers for the

Mrs. Jennie Finkin of Eighth and
Spruce streets, Camden, was found wan
dering on the streets at o'clock yester-
day morning by Officer Frederick
Voight at Broadway and Bridge avenue
The woman was attired in wrapper,
and her hair was hanging loosely down
her back. She was walking slowly, and
when tho officer approached her side he
was astonished to hear her snoring
although her eyes were open. He ad-
dressed her in low tones, but received
no answer. He then grabbed her by the
arm. This aroused her, and when she
found that she was on the street she fell
to tho pavement from astonishment.
She recovered in o few minutes and ac-
cepted the protection of the officer to as
sist her home. Mrs Finkin is said to be
subject to attacks of somnambulism
When she was found by the officer, she
was nearly two miles from her home

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
PRO EEDINGS AT THE DIRECT
ORs' MEETING.
Wendell Esstoa App ars to Talk Up
the MidwiDtcr EAir-rhe Irri-
CATION Congress Com
mtttsc Meeting.

The board OF directors OF the cham ber
of commerce met yesterday afternoon.
There were present Directors Jevne,
German, Breed, Stimson, Forman, Par
sons, Jones, Graf and Klokke. Mr..
Stimson presided.
Clayton d. Wilson and Louis +. Vetter
were elected to membership.
After the tranaaction OF routine busi-
ness, the chair announced that Messrs.
Crsigie Sharp and Wendell Easton, rep
at San Francisco, were present and
wished to be hoard on the subject OF
that enterprise.
Mr.. Sharp gave an interesting talk
about the midwinter fair, in which he
stated that q million people would in
all probability be attracted to the coast
by the fair, and he urged that Los An
geles county take it's place with the
other counties OF the state in preparing
an exhibit.
Mr.. Eaeton followed In q few we'll
chosen remarks, explaining that this
was the great opportunity for which
California had been waiting. to bring
tuc pEOduCbb vi ucE bOll uuu buo oACci-
lence OF her climate before the people OF
the world.
Mr.. Eston said that the first thing to
do was to get the people thoroughly en-
thused, and that when this was accom-
pished the question Of finance would
be found to be simpe one. Several
members of the board spoke, expressing
the opinion that it would be extremely
difficult to raise by general subscription
the amount that wac necessary to pay
the charge set for exhibit space, in addi-
tion to the sum that would be necessary
for making the exhibit. They advised
that the question OF funds be left with
the supervisors and with the city
authorities, and motion was finally
passed that it was not in the province
of the chamber OF commerce to under
take work OF this sort, and requesting
the mayor and the chairman of the
board OF supervisors to call public
meeting to be addressed by Messrs Sharp
and Easton, in order that the people
generally may become interested in the
project.
The board then on motion adjourned.

A NOTED PIANIST.


Ths ChcvaIier DO Kontski to Arrive
Hero Today.
The Chevalier De Kontski, one OF the
worlds greatest pianists, will arrive in
Los Angeles today ard remain here
few days.
OF this celebrated artist the London
Era says: "The chief novelty OF the
evening consisted OF the frat appearance
of the Chevalier Antoine De Kontski.
pianist to the emperor OF Germany. No
longer young man, and his name
achieved in Germany, the chevalier,
decorated with the order whence he
takes his title, did not exhibit any hesi-
fancy or timidity before the English au-
dience. M. De Kontskis etyle is essen
italy didactic and Germaneeque, but at
the same time he ia not above creating
very fine effects with very simple
means.
For instance, in his opening effort, a
souvenir of Faust (Gounod), the intro
duction to the chief theme OF the per-
formance, the few bars OF music which
Faust addresses to Marguerite in the
market place as he offers mis- arm. This
introduction consinted of phrase played
in bar length chords, each chord being
a breve in a slow time. Amazingly
startling and original, the effect pro-
duced in the undulating melody which
follows is very remarkable. M. De
Kontski's style OF playing is essentially
severe and learned. The music is never
trihed with. never cutup. When varia-
tions are used they by no means obscure
the phrase or passage upon which they
are introduced. The air remaina gener-
ally played in few distinct notes by the
left hand. The power of trilling with
tho third and fourth fngers, and the
immensely rapid production of dramatic
octaves, appear to be M. De Kontski's
executive forte.
But this gentleman possesses some-
thing better than mere musical execu-
tion; he owns the power and breadth OF
true expression, accompanied at the
same time by pathos. If the reader can
comprehend what is meant by logical
sentiment, he will be at no loss to un-
derstand M. De Kontski's playing. 1t is
neither like Madame Arabella Goddard'e
inevitably correct playing, nor Nd. Charles
Halle's, where delicacy is sacrificed to
all other qualities, but ia essentially
poetry tempered by the science OF music.
