THR NEW YEARS HERALD.

On New Years Day the HERALD will
get out a notably fine edition, with q
view to its availability for circulation
at the Midwintcr Fair. 1t will be the
largest daily paper ever issued in
Southern California, and, with two
exceptions, the largest ever issued
west Of the Rocky Mountains. 1t will
be profusely illustrated and will be full
of interesting and reliable statistics.
1t will also be the largest edition OF
any daily paper ever issued in the State
outside of San Francisco. Its desirable
ity as an advertising medium can
therefore be appreciated. Tens Of thou
sands of this publication will be circu-
lated ct the Midwinter Fair, many Of
our public spirited citizens having sub
scribed literally towards that end.
The advantages to the advertiser and
to those having real estate to sell of q
place in the columns of the New
Years HERALD can be appreciated at
glance. We have still some space at
the service OF our advertisers, but it
should be applied for at once.

CHRISTMAS TRADE.
How Local Merchants Feel Over
the Present Holiday Season.
Stores Filled With Eager Shoppers,
and Clerks and Statesmen Taxed
to the Extreme Limit OF
Their Endurance.
What Newcomer In Los Angeles Has
to Say in Regard to Business.
One More Chance offered
the Public.

There has been quite q rush of business this
week in connection with the purchase of
Christmas presents The stores have all been
well crowded, and everyone seems satisfied.
Perhaps none are more so than the latest ad-
dition to the ranks OF local merchants, Mr.. NJ.
German the well-known jeweler. His place
has been doing about all the business possible.
TO which fact the proprietor's genial and salts
fed smile is a cordial testimonial. Mr.. German
is lucky in having secured the services OF
force of clerks and salesmen not excelled any
where. Even in the busiest moments of the
past week they have always been polite and at
tentive to every one. The extent of the busi-
ness Mr.. German has done is best shown by
the fact that he has been obliged to decide to
keep his store, at $40 South Spring street, open
today Sunday. This has been forced upon
him by the inability of his clerks and work.
men to entirely accommodate the rush. By
working all day today they will just about be
able to catch up AS opening one department
entails throwing open the whole store. Mr..
German has decided that the public might as
well be given an opportunity to take advant-
age of that fact. Therefore, there is one more
chance to select from the beautiful stock of
jewelry and art novelties at all prices which
Mr. German has on sale at his place, $50 South
Spring street,
One exhibit which Mr.. German has been
showing for the past few days has caused
great deal of interest in this city. This is the
array Of antiques in silver which were shown
in the German exhibit at the Worlds Fair.
The collection contains Falstaf mug which
is said to be 800 years old. 1t is q unique piece
OF silver repousse work.
Others in the collection are two Roman
friendship cups and the celebrated German
"Du-Du" drinking cups, all in silver. Then
there is representation OF the 'Santa Maria"
under full sail.
The nne array OF fine watches is also remark
able. This comprises some repeaters made by
the most celebrated makers in the world, in
both ladies' and gentlemen's watches.
All these articles are on sale and offer an
opportunity to the art-lovers of Los Angeles
which they are not liable to have again for
some time to come

a lawsuit with John W. Mackey. As
to the meritsof that litigation we neither
know nor care. What we do know is
that il it were not for mawkish senti-
mentality Stokes would have been either
hung or kept in the penitentiary for
life. and number of people who
now curse the day he saw the
light would have been easier in their
minds. The old tactics of delay were
resorted to in his case, and the usual
miscarriage OF justice followed. There
was every circumstance to intensity the
atrocity OF Stokes's crime. Fiske had
been his benefactor. He was notoriously
big coward. And yet Stokes awaited
him at the head of stairway in the
Grand Central hotel and cruelty sssas-
sinated him. II Mr.. Msckey shall come
out behind in his dealings with Stokes
he will have occasion to condemn him.
self for having ever cultivated an inti-
macy with a man whose discreditable
record was we'll known. The old scrip
tural adage still holds good that he who
toucheth pitch will be defled. Unlike
Fiske. Mackev is man of clear grit and
can take care OF himself, otherwise we
would advise him to beware of mount

might be at the top.

IT is fact with which most newcom-
ers are unacquainted that the best sea-
sons ever known in Los Angeles county
have been those in which the rain did
not begin until about Christmas. The
present season has started very we'll,
although late. In the old days, when
the county was overrun with sheep and
cattle, it was matter of considerable
importance that we should have abund-
ant grass, and early rains were, there
fore, highly desirable. That is all
changed now, and alfalfa, product of
irrigation, has taken the place of alfler-
lila, the prodtht of nature. While we
have not had much rain thus far this
year it has come very opportunely and
not drop has been lost.

There was very pretty wedding hold
at the residence of the eminent fnan-
cier and philantnropst. Judge R. M.
Widney, No. 416 South Olive street.
Yesterday. The occasion was the mar
riage of his eldest daughter. Miss Mary
Helen Widney, to Mr.. Harry Walcutt
Watson, formerly of this city but now
of Mt. Vernon, III.
The ceremony Was performed at high
noon and in the presence of large
number of relatives and intimate
frienda. The house was prettily decor
ated.
In the parlor. where the ceremony
was held, the decorations were Of smilax
and roses. The mantel was banked
with flowers, while garlsnds OF smilax
were hung about the walla. Under a
canopy of smilax, enchanced with a
Cupid's bow and dart in roses, the
solemn service was held.
Promptly at IL o'clock the music OF
Lohengrin's wedding march was
heard, followed by the entrance into the
parlor of DIR. R. S. Maclay, the BRIDES
great uncle and distinguished scholar, a
mar who is the last OF his generation,
and who was especially well fitted to
perform the ceremony.
Following DIR. Maclay came the BRIDES
brother, Mr.. R. J. Widney. and his
wife. Miss Francis Widney and Master
Arthur Widney next entered, preceding
Judge and Mrs. Widney. The BRIDES
parents were followed by these little
luaids of honor. dressed entirely in
white: Misses Catharine Spence, Fran
cia and Anna St. John, May Hubbell,
Margaret Arnold, Marion Bovard, Mary
Widney and Catharine Hubbard. The
brioe and groom entered last, and stood
in front OF the miniature chancel rail of
ivory and gilt, where they we're pro-
nounced man and wife by DR.. Msclay.
Under the canopy was o handsome
piano lamp, which was lighted during
the ceremony, and helped to increase
the solemnity and beauty OF the occasion.
At the conclusion OF the ceremony the
young couple walked behind the chsncel
rail, where they stood and received the
congratulations OF those present.
The bride was attired in a becoming
costume OF white satin, trimmed in
pearla and chantilly lace. She wore or
snge blossoms in her hair. and carried

STOKES REDIVIVUS.

The celebrated John wilkes said that
the very worst use TO which you could
put a man was to hang him. This is
truo as to most men, but there are cases
in which it will not apply. Perhaps Mr..
Edward Stokes is one Of those excep-

THE resolution offered by Mr.. Richard
Croker at the general meeting OF Tam
many hall, to the effect that congress
should at once push through the con-
templated tariff legislation hits the nail
squarely on the head. The business in
terssts of the United States ought to be
afforded an opportunity of at once ad-
juating themselves to the conditions
which will govern their operations for
at least two years to come. The Demo-
cratic party is pledged to shoot Niagara
and the plunge may as well be made at
once. The great and immediate deside-
ratum is that manufacturing operations
should be resumed, and that can only
bs done when the manufacturer knows
where he stands.

TIE Atchi.on, Topeka and Santa Fe

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railway has at last, after many portent-
ous muttsrings. taken the plunge into
the hands of receivers. This time there
are three of them. This road seems to
owe the prodigious amount of $3.50, ,000,-

developing the west and Southern Cali

but good wishes for it's future from this
section. May it coon emerge from its
difficulties and again strike the ''swim," 4"

for every day appreciation.
The herald., 1893-12-24

Ir WOULD be hard for any Ange-
lefio to cultivate any disposition to
croak when he contrasts the future OF
this section with the average of any
other portion OF the country. Here we
are in virgin country where one is abb
solutely bewildered by the extent and
variety of the resources that await de-
velopmsnt. Railway, projects of all
descriptions are sure to materialize in
the next two or three years, some OF
them of transcontinental magnitude,
others running down to local electric
lines. Here everything ia activity and
hope, with the most eclectic people
of the United States thronging
in from every eide, determined
upon creating the most bsauti-
full homesteads in the world. 1t is alb.
solutely impossible here to keep track
of hundred plans of improvement,
some of them involving the expenditure
of millions of dollars. There the ques-
ton is simply, when suspended indus
tries shall be resumed, and the opera
tive is tortured with doubts as to what
percentage of his old wages he may
hope to receive. No wonder that null
titudes are leaving region of gloom to
HE them to section where all is bright
expectancy and in the future. The
wonder would be if they did not come,
and come in multitudes.

THERE has been entirely too little at
tention paid in California to raising
sheep for market, and yet this. it seems
to us, with our rich perennial grasses,
would be source of much profit.
Years ago Sir Francis Burnett, at that

imported some Southdown etock, which
afterwards passed into the banda OF
Mr.. D. Freeman, together with
the ranch. These sheep were alter
