Count G.. A. Vanderbeck, who man

League club, stating that the franchise
for this city has been awarded him
and outlining some of the probable
features of the programme for the

The Western league will be composed
of eight clubs, as follows: Sioux City,
Kansas City, Minneapolis and Milwau.

and Detroit. Grand Rapids. Indianapo.

1t is Mr.. Vanderbeck's intention to
take a team OF California players to
represent Detroit in this league, and
probably rightly thinks that the coast

other managers hustle to keep up with

QUEER COMPLAINTS.

The Police Clerks Kept Busy Answer
ing Questions.
On any day except Sunday the police
station is place where one may see
nearly all sides OF life. The clerks are
beseiged daily with tales of woe Of Wis
itors fromthe rural districts, from fel-
lows who "bucked the game" too long
from demure little wives whose erring
husbands "etayed too late at the club"
and then abused them or skipped, and
from the poor unfortunate woman. who.
dragged to life of shame, seeks re-
venge in justice.
But complaint exhibiting true
nerve" was poured into the ear of
Clerk Curran the other day; it was
more than nerve--unsophistica gall
is the word.
The fellow had purchased horse for
a bargain. He afterward changed his
mind. The animal was handsome
appearing auadruped, sleek and alleged
to be well gated. This was the appear
ance of the animal before his moving
qualities were tried.
He purchased the horse for the mag
niticent sum of $25, but did not pay the
Chsu uoWu. AltdCuiuS caTL TO the
beaet, the buyer circled his whip and
a wild halloo, thinking the appearance
of the horse must certainly be significant
of speed.
The animal refused to bulge an inch.
Pedestrians on the street stopped and
watched the proceedings. and the small
boy delighted in poking fun at the fell
low in the cart. Becoming desperately
angry at being made the object of such
ridicule. the purchaser leaped from the
cart and hurriedly left the scene.
The horse stood just minute longer
and then collapsed amid the plaudits of
the spectators. He was old and was 60
ing hence, which he did.
A bona tide purchase? Well, it might
have been. At any rate, the seller hur-
ried to the police station and wanted
the clerk to make the fellow pay $25.

IT ALL GOES UP IN SMOKE.
What Los AngelenOs Pay for
Their Cigars.
The Tobacco Business Seems to Be
Working Good.
what Was Learned from One Dealer
About the Trsde-The Fashion
of Asking for
Light Cigar.

Thirty thousand cigars month is the
average monthly sale'of Spring street
cigar merchant.
This means considerably over $500
month spent at one solitary cigar store.
Think of it--slS,000 year spent in
one cigar store.
Eighteen thousand dollars going up
in smoke every year.
And there are nearly so cigar stores
in Los Angeles, most of which are doing
a profitable business.
The above figures are for cigars alone,
not counting pipe tobacco and the much
abused cigarettes.
A reporter inquired of Spring street
tobacconist whether his business was
influenced by tine depression felt by
other business men, or whether this
enormous consumption of tobacco re-
maned equally as large the entire year.
'Oh, we felt the late money troubles
of course" he answered. "a lot of our
customers came down from two for a
quarter to five-centers, but it didn't last
long men have got to smoke you know"
"Our worst time" he continued, sis
at Christmas and the New Year."
The reporter expressed his astonish-
ment and inquired why.
"Oh, rybody swears off drinking
and smoking at the beginning OF the
new year, you know"
Well, you must lose q lot of customers
that way, don't you?
NO" was the derisive answer" why,
they don't last month. Last year two
friends, and two of my best customers,
swore off in zach others presence. Three
weeks after one OF them came around
and bought his cigars just as usual and
made me promise not TO give him away.
Well, of course, didn't, and week
later his chum came around and made
me promise the same thing, and for
three months neither of those fellows
knew the other was smoking and they
used to sneak round for their cigars in
all sorts OF ways"
"Whv does every one ask for light
cigars"
"Oh," said the tobacconist, disgust
edly, "these light cigar men make me
tired.
"Y ou know there's fashion in cigars,
Just the same as in everything else.
Half the men who ask for light cigar
don't know what they're aaklng Tor.
Just now every one wants them, and the
supply isn't equal to the demand.
Lots of 'em think that If cigar is
light in color that it must be mild 1t
don't follow at all, but of course if they
ask for light smoke we give it them.
With some of them we just bring them
a dark cigar and if they ask for some.
thing lighter why we bring them the
same smoke back again, and they gen.
orally go away satisfied that they know
whats what" .
What ere your average receipts a
month ?"
NOW, you want to knew too much.
I'll say this much: don't think I'm
doing a great deal if don't clear $40 a
day"

FIFTY Miles of Shore Line Covered With

Ventura Venturian: ."For fifty miles
OF coast or shore line the lobster, or

ance." said Frank Fazzio, the veteran
fisherman, to the Venturian. He went

the lobster could be found in paying
quantities. That is to say, in such
quantities that several tons day could

These fish cannot be found north OF
Point Conception or south OF Santa
Monica, thus making this place about
the center of the field. They can be
furnished by fishermen at about two
cents a pound.
Under these circumstances it would
appear that the fish trade could be made
profitable when worked to its utmost.
A cannery should be one of the first in
dustries to be started in Ventura.

Temple street ohrIst,an ohurch.

Rev. A. @. Smither is preaching
series OF sermons on Our Perils. Last
night he preached sermon of the Per-
lie OF Cities. He first cited the fact that
so per cent of our population lives in
cities OF more than 5000 inhabitants,
and the proportion is increasing all the
time. There are many causes that con-
tribute to this end. among which are its
superior advantages socially, religously,
financially and in many other ways.
In this crowding OF our population in
to cities is found great perils. 1t is de-
populating our rural districts which is
detrimental to our state. The country
must forever be the basis of national
prosperity in its products and men. The
cities become the centers Of large per
cent OF the lower classes of our foreign
immigration, which means danger.
Nearly all of our large cities have more
than two-thirds their population from
this clsss. This means that such
cities will eventually become the hot
beds of vice. This class of citizenship
must necessarily produce the greatest
possible political competition, while
this in time is inimical to the genius of
our country and dangerous to our body
p,litic. Doodle is the star that lures
such class on to the eupport and fol-
lowing of any Office hunter who can re-
ward them we'll. America has the worst
governed citiee in the civilized world
and it is largely due to this class of citi-
zene. Again, cities are the
abode and support OF those
fostering sores OF ofcvilization, the saloons,
which are the enemies OF all decency and
moraity. In the cities we have an
archy, socialism in its virulent form and
throwers of dynamite. 1t is further
more the home of the great struggle be-
tween capital and labor, which so greatly
threatens the future of our country.
| Again, vice and evil in its most hideous
forms thrive here. 1t is perilous IN its
various temptations to cur young who
come into it from the country. Alas,
how many ruined lives we see among
i this class.
With such dangers as these growing
out OF our cities it is high time we were
awoke to our dangers. Our best citizens
must look we'll to our interests. The
churches must awake to their oppor-
tunities and go boldly forth to this great
work OF evangelizing our cities and max
ing of them magazines of strength and
fortresses OF religious power.

The Theosophists.

At Blavatsky hall last evening large
audience greeted DR.. q. F. Mohn to
hear his lecture on post mortem states
as reviewed from the theosophic stand
point. The doctor began by first con-.
sidering the nature and being of man in
his various principles and psychological
elements. thereby discriminating be-
tween the mortal and immortal consti-
tuents OF his life and soul. Concerning
the mortal part of his nature he said !:
THE physical body is composed of in
fnitesmal lives that animate the MOLE
cules of its cells. During life these
lives are governed and held together as
a harmonious whole by the vital life
currents. AT death, or when the astral
tie that holds the soul captive within
it's house of flesh, ia snapped aeunder,
the body deserted, the lives that con- :
pose it, having no longer master to
mob, each seeking it's own liberty.
The body is now alive

of all his thoughts and deeds he had in

merited, no more, no less; and when
the law of justice or of cause and effect
is satisfied the ego reterns to earth to
again re-incarnate and receive the ef-
fects of acts belonging to the earth
plane. Thus evolution goes on from
life to liie."

"The Church of Human Brother
hood" is the title of new organization
which was launched at Turn Verein

Webster. formerly OF the Congregational
society at Long Beach, ofiiciated. He
outlined the ideal church. 1t is a co.
ciety in which the members will be
friends. 1t will De free from doctrinal
creeds. 1t will aim to be Christlke in
its minietrations, and thus be different
from the average church, which seems
to be drifting away from the pure and
simple teachings OF Jesus.
DIR. Briggs, the Presby terian "heretic." !"
says in the Forum: 1T remains to be
seen whether new denomination of
Christians will spring into existence to
be the church oi the people, or whether
the alienation OF church and people is
still to increase" This church will
hold deed to be more than creed, char
acter above ritual or profession, and up
lifting worship to be independent of
dogmatism and theological hair eplit-
ting. Come" said the speaker, land
aid in establishing religious brother
hood, whose.sympathy and helpfuness
shall be as constant as human need, as
onsectarian as was that of Christ, and
as inclusive as the love of God"

A strong and eloquent appeal from

Church of the New Era.

The largest audience that has yet at
tended tbs meetings at Illinois hall
gIeeted Rev. w. O. Bowman last even
ing. almost the entire seating capacity
OF this large hall being required to ac-
commodate the people.
The subject OF Pate or Moral Agency
Which? WAS treated in scholarly as
we'll as interesting manner. Briefly
stated, the speaker declared that in the
evolutionary progress OF man he had
traversed three stages, the mythology
cal, theological and philosophical. On
the first aid second planes whole ma
tions have been at times, but only indi-
viduals had as yet reached the philo-
sophie plane.
Like fate itself, the question Of fatal
iem follows down through the ages de-
manding for itself, as against moral
agency, eolution.
In the Greek cosmical system every
force and phenomenon in nature was
supposed to be presided over by deities.
These gods were usually in groups of
three, as the three graces. three furies
and the three fates. With the exception
OF it's Dhiloeophies the nation accepted
this mythology.
Theology ia in advance OF mythology,
or at advanced mythology. Jehovah
was the fret deity TO be reduced TO a
unit, which was an improvement, until
Christianity, so-called, muddled matters
up in such way that it is difficulty to
say whether it claims one God or three.
Three hundred years ago the question
OF iataliem was the great one atissue by
two grand champions, Calvin and Ar
minius-both relying for their proof on
the infallible book.
But the : Bible is etorehouse
where every, contestant may go and
select such ammunition as best equips
him for his contests.
But there is today as wide difference
OF opinion between scientists and liberal
minded people as with theologisns in
this great question of the ages.
The difficulty is this that reasoning in
strictly logical manner there is NO
escape, from a conclusion favorableto
fatalism. For if action follows the
strongest motive only. then the will can
play no part.
Psychology, or conaciousness flary
contradicts this theory and declares
mans ability to god-like decision even
to the weaker motive. The worlds his
tory and experience 10 based on this
latter view. and mans accountability
and moral freedom attested by the con-
scientiousness by the great majority ol
human beings as we'll as that by that
great arbiter, good common sense.

An East side Evanr.Iist.

Mr.. George Robert Cairns, the singing
evangelist, preached to large audience
at the East Los Angeles Baptist church
Sunday morning. In appearance he is
Beecherian and in expression is much
like Spurgeon. He is plain, practical
speaker and riees to flights of positive
eloquence. When the pastor introduced
him he eat quietly down to the organ,
and after singing an Introductory song
he plunged at once into his sermon from
the text, They Sought Means to Bring
Him." 1t would be in vain to give the
sermon unless you give the man. The
four men who brought the paralytic to
Christ he likened to Mr.. Determination,
Mr.. Faith, Mr.. Hope and Mr.. Love.
The sermon was unique, and to thor
oughly appreciate him one must hear
him. He will speak at 10 a. m. and
