JUDGE BARTHOLOMEW.
His Fiftieth Birthday Celebrated Las
Night.

His FIftieth Birthday Celebrated Last
Night.
The friends of Justice R. s. Bartholo-
NEW, as represented by the young De-
mocracy of Los Angeles, rendered the
genial justice a reception last night at
his residence on Angeefio Heights. The
occasion was the filtieth anniversary
of his birthday. Notice having been
served on the justice in advance, prepa-
rations had been made by Mrs. Bar
tholomew for the occasion. The house
was handsomely decorated and refresh
ments appropriate to the fiesta were
provided. At $3.50 p. m. the guests ar
rived in body, and from that time till
midnight goodfellowship regned.
Deputy District Attorney Seaman, M.
E. @. Munday, Councilman Pessel and
other stalwsrts of the young Democracy
contributed specimens of their TO-
rensic ability in toasts and speeches.
Good muRic was furnished by
Messrs. Gardner and Snowden and
Musso's orchestra. In general
terms Justice Bartholomew thanked the
boys for the honor conferred ON him
and pledged their heslths in Mumm' q
best vintage. He was followed by a
song on Long Life and Prosperity by E.
V. Maud of the Second ward. The fest
ivities closed with toast on the true
Jscksonian Democracy by Ralph Do
minguez of the United States district
court. 1t was most enjoyable evening
and was strong testimonial OF the es-
TEEN in which the justice is held by his
social and party friends. A

have come across the continent to spy
out the land and look into the prospect
OF securing homes here. The inquiry
for fruit lands is good, and city property
on the streets with business future to
them is in demand. 1t lie remark
able thing that the briskest booms we
have had here have been on the heels of
the greatest periods of depression in the
Atlantic states. After the sy Cooke crash
in 1873, Los Angeles received one of its
best impulses by the stream of eastern
people who flocked here. There is no
reason why the present troubles at the
east should not act in the same way
now. People who have saved stake out
of the crash naturally want to go to q
new and promising country to mend
their fortunes, or to quietly enjoy what
they have saved out of the wreck. We
shall receive large accsssions to our
population from this extensive class
of people. This section of the
country is undoubtedly in far
better condition than any other.
Its future is beyond question surpass-
ingly encouraging, and this city is so
happily located as to be assured of won
deriul growth in the next decade. 1t is
the great fn.de steele city of the union,
with prospect for growth and prosper
ity that no other developing city has in
this country. 1t ia the focal center of
mining region of illimitsble possibilities,
and is the commercial focus of the most
extensive and richest fruit and agricult-
ursl region in the United Statee. 1t
abounds with golden opportunities, and
why shouldn't it grow?

less it be the Great Northern, running
from st. Paul to Sesttle) could afford to
spend money towards usurping the con-
troll of the Tehuantepec inter-marine
highway. They are all too very near
the verge of bankruptcy.
OF course, the canal is what we want.
1t can be built nearly as cheaply as the
portage railway at Tehusntepec, and its
tolls will be less on account of less re-
pairs being needed from time to time.
The completion of this canal, however,
is something indefinite. Its only
support is from the states on the east
and west seaboard, while the Mississippi
valley states, ever on the alert for a
cheaper outlet to the open sea as high
way to the United Kingdom, are bitterly
opposed to it. California is now grow
ing faster than plesses them, and with
the Nicaragua canal once complete the
Pacific states would soon do great deal
to depopulating the MISSISSIPPI valley.
It looks as if the canal would have to

TIE bill repeating the federal elections
law has finally passed the senate. This
measure will be hailed with satisfac-
ton by all Americans who look upon the
interference of the federal government
in elections as a grave and serious usur-
patton of the rights of the states. 1t
will squelch all such proceedings as Col.
Dudley's bunches-of.fiv We scandals in In

abuse OF the franchise in New York.
The right of the federal government,
through its supervisors, to place horde

be exercised, nor will these deputies be
used for the purpose of carrying cleo.

THOSE TRAIN WRECKERS
THE MALDuNADO BROTHERS ARE
FOUND GUILTY.
whisky Leads to Serious ResuIts-Thsy
Attempted to Wreck Ter
minal Train The Prob
able Punishment.

The Jury in the case OF the Maldonado
brothers brought in verdict last night
of guilty.
The Maldonsdos, who are brothers
and both young men, were charged
with attempting to wreck train, on the
Terminal railway during November last.
At the time both men were undoubtedly
drunk, and resenting fsncied insult
from the conductor, attempted to derail
the train by placing tie across the
track, at q point where the line over
hung steep bluff.
The obstruction was seen by passer-
by and removed in the nick OF time.
The came night both OF the youths were
arrested by Detective lnsley.
On the first trial the jury disagreed,
presumably on the score OF the tie hav-
ing been placed on the track by only one
of the defendants. They were retired,
with the above result.
Since the passing OF the statutes
against train wrecking there have been
only three trials for the otfense.
On two OF the occasions the charges
were not proven, and the Msldonados
are the first offenders convicted under
the new law.
The extreme penalty under the statute
under which these defendants were con-
victed is five years imprisonment. The
jury recommended that the full penalty
be given in the present case.
There are two clauses to the statute,
one making life imprisonment or death
the penalty for derailing a train, and
the other fixing the maximum penalty
for putting obstruction on railway
with malicious intent.

All, we'll, after all, perhaps it is better that
mankind should have one spell of good be-

not always lasting.
But, Lent or no Lent, we must keep on writ

WHEN Mr.. G. P. Huntington assured
the harbor committee OF the house that
he would spend dollar for dollar with
the government in improving the har-
Dor at Santa Monica, the members oil
the committee opened their eyes very
widely. Not more so, however, than
when he told them that his company
had spent million dollars at San Pc
dro, and owned great deal of property
there and none excepting the point at
Santa Monica; but that, in the face OF
all this, they had moved their marine
trade to the new hsrbor. He said that
it frequently happened that government
engineers reported favorably for one
place, and that when it came to be
viewed in its relation to business and
other matters, experienced railroad
men differed with them. He said that
was the case with his company in de-
Gliding to select Santa Monica as their
deep-sea harbor point. 1t is amusing
in this connection to hear that Congress-
man Cannon assured the committee that
he beat Hervey Lindley on the harbor
issue. He beat Hervey Lindey simply
because he received the Democratic
nomination after he had had that of the
Populists, and because the Republican
party in this district were not unit on
the policy of nominating Mr.. Lindley.
The hsrbor question cut no figure what
ever in the election OF the great Ventura
nepotist.

AMUSE MEN is.

Los ANGELES TaEATER.-The pretty
opera, Patience, which is being re-
hearsed under the direction of Mr.. @. M.
Pyke, is nearing perfection and will be
gwen at an early date at the Los Ange-
les theater. More than ordinary inter-
est is being manifested IN the presents-
ton OF this opera, as several popular
amateur vocalists will make this the
occasion OF the first step into the ranks
of the professionals.
Judging from the list of principals
published in former issue, it will be a
question whether many OF the travelling
organizations can produce stronger
singing cast. The chorus, which will
number about so selected voices, will be
sure to give an excellent account of
itself when the opera is given. The
Los Angeles theater orchestra will be
augmented on the occasion, and will be
under the baton OF Mr.. Pyke, whose
long experience as an operate man
ager will insure spontaneous approval.
The opera will be ON rehearsal tonight
by both principals and chorus, at 525
West Fifth street.

TAYLoR's HALL, musical farce
Penelope was given to fsir-sized audi
ence last night. The piece is very light
and the plot deals with the difficulties
of pretty kitchen maid, who, after a
number of troubles, finally marries her
true love, miikman, and not the po-
liceman or the soldier between whom
she had been previously wavering. The
music consisted of q collection Of old
favorites, such as Love My Love. Poor
Gypsy Maid. Then You'll RENE Der
Me, Dreamt That l Dwell in Marble
Hall, and others, new verses having been
written to fit with the plot.
The participants acted and sang the
characters very well and were applsuded
frequently.

dered.

ANOTHER swindling land company has
been rooted out in San Francisco. 1t
started into business with the high
sounding and taking title of California
Guarantee and Trust company, issued
flaming circulars, and prepared to do q
lsnd-office business. As an inducement
for people to part with their cash, it's
prospectus says that the sum OF $3.50
per month paid on any bond will keep it
in force, and should it mature at the
end of the first year the investor will
receive 500. This startling sccumu-
lative proposition was calculated to dra W
in poor peoples earnings; but as far ss
is known the concern fails only owing
$500. This would argue that the bait
thrown out was not bitten at very lively.
How any person with head on him
could fail to see that any concern that
promises to pay 800 in twelve months
for SIS is simply a swindling concern,
it is difficult to see. Yet there
have been gudgeons to snap at equally
as impossible propositions quite greed
lily. The hard times, however, seem to
have made people more wary, and the
collapse of this swindling institution
with but few dupes taken in shows it.
