per Oh EnRnen people VINO are among
the visitors at the Southern California
buildingis very noticeable. So enthu ST.
astic have they become over the wond-
erful display that number of them have
suggested the idea of transferring The
exhibit at the close of the exposition to
London.
The undertaking Is certainly feasible
one and would prove an advertisement
OF the greatest magnitude, showing The
wonders of Los Angeles and vicinity to
the world.
The j. j. Leek tragedy few days since
brought to the public notice the name
OF man who, a few years since. was
one of the most famous criminals in this
city. This physician in attendance at
the bedside of the principals in the
latest sensational tragedy is none other
than DR.. j. Milton Bowers who was sbv-
eral times sentenced to death by the
courts of this city for the murder Of bis
wife. but eventually succeeded in aecur-
ing his liberty. DR.. Bowers actions in
connection with the Leek case are in
keeping with his reputation.

Owing to the extortion practiced ~
the owners of the electric light plant at
the fair grounds all county buildings
will in future be closed to the public at
6 p. m. each day This action was de-
cided upon at a meeting of the county
com missioner5 recently held, and as q
result one of the main features of the
exposition will be closed, owing to the
greed of the fair management, who have
a monopoly OF everything on the grounds
worth having, the contracts with con-
cessionaires atipulating that lighting.
ETC., shall not be secured from any but
the Midwinter Fair company.

Vermont day at the fair was also Ala
medals blossom day, and each visitor to
that county's building was presented
with bunch of almond blossoms. The
Southern California management want
to go them one better and have an or
ange blossom day, and for that purpose
desire tnat the orchardists of their sec
tion OF the country send up az many or
ange blossoms at an early day as possi-
BILE. 1t would certainly be q grand com
parison to the efforts of your northern
neighbors in this line.

George NJ. Hayford, who figured quite
prominently in Los Angeles as an attor-
ney in the Bentley case. has been the
recipient OF considerable notorietH OF
la Q, owing to his peculiar tactics in the
Ethel Smith guardianship matter. Not
content with this, Mr.. Hayford now
files e suit for divorce against his wife,
Tillie, charging her with gross cruelty,
one specific charge setting forth that
she was in the habit of tearing his ftsh
upon the slightest pretext.

The grand jury of this city has rem
dered it's final report and been dis
charged. With the exception of ctiti-
cising the location of the mUrgue, their
report is replete with praise for the
conduct of the various officials since the
report of the former grand jury.
The sensational charges OF bribery
brought forward by the Examiner against
State Senator Dunn and king" Nc
Manue in connection with the Curtis
murder trial are passed without com
ment, and as result the public must
come to the conclusion that the charges
are unfounded.
Among the prominent visitors at the
Southern California building on Ver-
mont day were General Russell A. AlRer
and ex-senator Philetus Sawyer of Wia-
consin. Both gentlemen were sccompa.
MED by their families, and the entire
party spent portion of their time while
in the building in the spacious redep-
tion room. commenting upon the won
derful display of citrus fruits.
-.
Among others who were in the room
at the time were Hon. Hervey Lindley,
looking as contented as though he mad
never heard of the old Ventura bean
raiser, Marion Cannon. Senator r. B.
Carpenter of Los Angeles and San
Francisco, who made such q shining
mark aa an anti-monopolist in the last
two sessions of the legislature, made
himself indispensable to . party of
ladies.
General and Senator Matthews passed
a weeE or ten days in this part of the
state, but the major portion of the
time at Gilroy. The general has now
taken the attraction away from that
sleepy little burg and Los Angeles co.
ciety gains valuable acquisition in the
person of Mrs. Matthews.

ladies in that city on the let instant.
