AN IMPORTANT CHANGE.

The Lone Star State VIII Eniiven Mat
ters In Los Angeles.
An important commercial change took
place in real estate circles yesterday.
The well-known real estate firm OF
Bryan & Kelsey dissolved their co-part-
nership under the most pleasant circum-
stances and today new firm, composed
of old time and reliable real estate men,
will spring into existence. The new
firm will be composed of Wesley Clark
and E. P. Bryan. Both gentlemen are
known to be active and energetic bust
ness men and the firm of Clark &
Bryan, as the new organization will be
termed, will surely make their neigh
bors look out for their laurels. Both
gentlemen being Texans they have con-
cluded to adopt as trade mark the
Lone Star, the emblem of their former
state. Their Office will be at the old
stand of Wesley Clark, 127 West Third
street, in the Stimson building. They
propose to make day time look as if it
were night inasmuch as their star will
be painted on every available corner and
sign post in Los Angeles and it's en-
virons. These gentlemen are the own
ers of the popular Clark & Bryan tract
that has met with such an unprece-
dented demand during the past few
weeks.

ABOUT ME xsco.

Josephine Liudley Corelia Phillips'
Lscturs Yesterday.
The elegant home of Mr.. and Mrs. T.
G. Howe, at 730 West Twenty-third
street, was crowded yesterday afternoon
by gathering to listen to an address on
Mexico by Josephine Lindley Covella
Phillips, delivered under the auspices
of the flower festival society.
The lady spoke very fuently and in
telligently upon the subject, having
spent number OF years in the sister
republic teaching and travelling.
Five years of her lie were passed as
a teacher in the City of Mexico, where
she gained very clear idea of the scope
and work of the school system of
Mexico.
Upon this subject the speaker called
attention to the liberal attitude OF the
government towards institutions of
learning, assistance being given il
many ways.
There is, however. much CHARGE for
improvement in the schools of Mexico.
although vast strides nave been made
in the past few years. When the
speaker first went to Mexico che found
LILO puplio blbtiuS OH lOuB UcuCuoe,
being taught in the most primative
manner. Now the American system
has been largely introduced.
The Mexican children, among all
classes, are universally polite, although
it would not be expected, considering
the mode of living of many of the poorer
families.
The missionaries in this country are
accomplishing much good, especially in
the lower classes.
Mexico's early history was touched
upon and her early struggles for liberty
reiterated.
The celebrations of many of the VIC
tories are kept with much vim by the
people, who especially enjoy any sort of
gala day. Large sume of money are
subscribed and everything carried out
on splendid scale.
One of the most important events
celebrated is the signing OF the new
charter whereby the church and state
were forever separated and the church
societies forbidden to hold property.
This separation, which even now is not
generally understood by the world at
large, did much to help on the advance
OF Mexico.
The religious festivals are feature OF
Mexican life, the people taking great
interest in them and abandoning all
work during their duration which in
some cases is week or more. During
this time native will not work for love
or money. The servants will desert aud
turn up after the celebration with woe
full tale of the death of some relative.
In spite of the introduction of schools
the old religious traditions and supersti-
tions have a strong hold upon the COM
mon people. The Indians are very ex-
pert in manufacturing toys of various
kinds, of which large quantities are an
nually used on the festival days.
The lecture was listened to attentively
and was much enjoyed by those present.

HIGH SCHOOL HEATING.
Sickness Caused by the Cold Rooms-f
Vigorous Complaint.

Sickness Caused by the Cold Rooms-A
Vigorous Complaint.
The cold weather OF the past few days
has brought out many complaints about
the defective heating OF tho high school
building.
Yesterday Mrs. A.. T. Anderson and
daughter, Miss Angela, called at the
HERALD Office to give some facts about
the matter.
The young lady WAS suffering from g
terrible cold contracted in the poorly
heated building, and could not epeak
above whisper.
Mrs. Anderson and her daughter
stated that the high school building is
heated entirely by little gas stovee, and
that they go inadequately warm the
rooms that the pupils have
suffered very much during the rainy and
cold weather recently.
When asked if she knew OF any other
specific CAGES of illness due to the poor
heating, Miss Anderson could not name
any one in particular, az she had been
kept ct home for two weeks by rheuma-
tism, but she had heard that there has
been q gres. deal OF sickness among the
pupils.
Mrs. Anderson thought it a shame
that such a state of things shuuld be
allowed to exist in city like Los
Angeles. and wondered, as so many
others do, why the board of education
does not attend to proper provision for
the health and comfort of the school
children.
After her call HERALD representa-
tive ascertained from City Auditor
Teale that the November gas bill for the
high school was about 800 and the De-
cember bill about $72.
When asked what he thought about
this method of heating the rooms of the
high school, for health, prominent
builder and architect said that it was
very poor. The use of go many gas
stoves for heating this big building was
deleterious to health and it should not
be allowed to continue,

NOT ALL FAIR SAILING.
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA; BUILD
ING NOT YET FINISHED.
The Exhibits Being Installed but the
Work Way Behind-Ohio Fruit
Growers to Visit This
Section.

Mr.. Frank Virgins, superintendent
of the Southern California midwinter
fair building, writes under date of Janu-
ary 7th that two carloads OF exhibits
had been unloaded that day. The build
ing is not really ready, 1t still being in
the hands OF the painters and plaster
ers. Ventura county has gotten the
shelving up and the table work finished.
Mr.. Charles Formsn feels badly over
the progress OF installation. as Director
General De Young Is continually after
him for the exhibits being late. 1t is
the same old story, however, with the
worlds fair told over again on the Pa
cific coast. The writer thinks that they
will "bob" up all right with the rest OF
the crowd when the time comes. There
is come disagreement over the decora
tions, which, however, will probably be
satisfactorily adjusted within the course
of few days.
Some cyprus rope or garlands are to
be sent in the next shipment, which
Mr.. Charters states will leave the city
on the 11th inst, tomorrow.
The officials at this end of the line
especially urge those having exhibits to
b0uu buSIu W bl0 CuhllUoT vi
or notify the superintendent 30 that
they may be included in the present
shipment.
Judging from Mr.. Virgins letter the
space in the Southern California build
ing will be considerably crsmped with
the large number of exhibits to be set
in place.
f. G. Wilhopt OF Dayton, o., writes
that they are organizing an excursion
among the fruit farmers of that section,
80 as to enable them to visit Southern
California and make q careful study Of
our way OF doing things. The party
will number from 20 to 40 persons and
will travel in their special sleeping cars.
They will have an abundance of time
to stay here and extend their knowledge
of fruit raising.
MIR. Wiihopt asks for additional copies
OF the Land of Sunshine. He ssys
they arouse considerable interest over
this section among the people these, and
have materially aided in getting up the
excursion.
Mr.. Wilhopt also sent copy of poem
written by himself and called A Jolly
Good Crowd. 1t is about the vsrious at
tendants and officials OF some OF the ex-
hibts at the worlds fair.
The poem refers to Frank Wiggins
rustling for this state, and also to the
efforts of the two Aliens for San Diego
county. Mr.. Grow for San Bernardino
and Mr.. Garcelon for Riverside.

GOT SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.
Ernest Riman Is Held Upon a
Charge of Forgery.
O'Neill Says That Riman Swindled
Him.
A Real Estate Agent Who Gave Deeds
to Property as Wasn't His-How
O'Neiil Got Back From
Kansas.

The examination OF Ernest Riman
yesterday in Justice Bartholomew's
court, upon a charge of forgery, brought
to light a peculiarly bold attempt at
fraud.
The complaining witness in the case,
one Albert O'Neill, hard working
laboring man who had invested the
hard earned savings of years in some
valuable real estate in this city, testified
to the following:
He was passing along the street in
June last when he noticed upon Rimsn's g
door an advertisement relating to 100
acres of land situated in Kansas.
Riman was conducting real estate
business at that time, and O'Neill en-
tering' the Office made some inquiries
concerning the advertisement.
After considerable talk O'Neill was 30
impressed by Rimau's description of the
property that he offered his own city in
vestment in exchange. Riman made
out deed to the Kansas land and told
O'Neill that he would be obliged to OBJ
tain his (Riman's) sons signature. He
then took the deed OUT, but signed his
sons name to the paper, obtaining a
similar, but genuine, deed to O'Neill's
property.
Then O'Neill hied him to Kansas to
discover that the 100 acres belonged to a
stranger in no way connected or known
to Riman.
O'Neill was by that time penniless,
and in order to return to Los Angeles
was obliged to take employment in or
der to find the means OF paying for his
railway fare.
When at last he did return and saw
Riman, the latter informed him that he
did not know the whereabouts of his
son, and refused to take any share in
the responsibility for the transaction.
Then O'Neill placed the affair in the
hands OF Detective George Insley.
But Riman had already taken alarm,
and shaving his beard and otherwise
changing his appearance, walked to San
Diego in the hope of hiding his tracks i;
but his efforts were in vain, and Insley
arrested him in that city. Coming
home Rman, who is nearing old age,
declared that he had been several times
upon the point of suicide.
In the meantime the son had also
been found, under an assumed name,
and Riman the elder had made another
forged deed, assigning the real estate
belonging to O'Neill, to his brother-in-
law, one Wells.
Yesterday the son declared upon the
witness' stand thav he had been COM
PEELED by his father to give permission
for that worthy to sign his name,
Rimsn was held to answer in bonds
OF $1,000.
