Two Hundred Years Ago.

There is nothing more incompre-
hensible to a man nowadays than the
belief in wltchcraft and demonlac
possession which, during preceding
ages, was reliplously held by the ma
jorlty of people. Prosecutions for
religions sake one can understand;
one can appreciate the process of rea-
son which makes them possible, but
that any intelligent human being
could have ever believed in witch
craft and have tortured unfortunate
victims as witches, is almost incon-
celvable. And yet the fact remains
that until a very recent period no

la FIESTA De Los ANGELES,
Latest Arrangements for the
Great Festival.
Outside Cities That Have Promised
to Participate.
The Affair VIII Not Be for the
Benefit of Los Angeles Alone
bat for All Southern
California.

The gentlemen who have in charge
the arrangements for the celebration OF
the fiesta de Los Angeles next month
have been pushing matters during the
last few days, and have succeeded in in
fusing an amount OF enthusiasm into the
people of this city which, if it is kept
up, promises to make the celebration
notable among the great festivals Of the
world, such as the flower carnival at
Nice, the carnival ct New Orleans and
the Yelled Prophet at st. Louis. The
management wish it to be understood
that this is not to be merely spasmodic
effort, but the commencement of regu-
lar annual celebration, which will make
the name of Los Angeles a household
word throughout the length and breadth
of the United States. even among Deo-
pie who have not yet visited the Pacific
coast.
There is another point which it is de-
sired to emphasize in this connection.
Some OF the outside cities OF Southern
California have hitherto been somewhat
backward in coming to the front, appar-
emily laboring under the belief that the
fiesta is intended simply for the benefit
OF Los Angeles city. This ia q great
mistake. The prime movers in this en-
terprise are merchants of Los Angeles
who depend largely for their support
upon the patronage of outside sections,
from Santa Barbara to San Diego. Every
effort has been made to secure
the cooperation OF the sections
and 30 far much encouragement has
been received. The gentlemen who are
at the head of this enterprise fully
realize the fact that whatever helps one
section Of Southern California helps
Los Angeles. Participation is also prom
ised from Pasadena, Redondo, Catalina,
San Diego and other places.
The programme for the coming fiesta,
which begins on the 10th of next
month, has now been pretty well de-
fined. On the first day there will be an
official reception by cavaliers to the
Queen of the Angels and her attendant
ladies, represented by prominent society
ladies, who will remain masked during
the procession. This will bs in the
forenoon. In the afternoon there will
be procession Of floats represent
ing the early development OF Southern
Californis-the arrival of the first set
tiers, introducing civilization the COM
ing Of the railroad and its results;
the cities Of Southern California, the
secret societies. and the leading indus
tries of the section.
On the second day in the morning
there will be games and races, and in
the evening torchlight procession with
q grand illumination of the entire city,
including maskers with torches.
The third day will be children's day
when there will be q parade of 10000
children Of tho public schools, including
The herald., 1894-03-18

the high, normal and private schools,
and kindergarten games at the Sixth
street park.
On the fourth day there will be mill
tary parade and floral parade with
floats, private carriages and horsemen.
The fifth day will close the celebration
with masquerade ball at Hazards
pavilion.
One of the unique features of this
festival will be the character of the dec
orstions. Instead of leaving this matter
to individuals, with result that is pain
full to all persons of taste, the matter
will be placed in the hands of q COM
mittee and one general plan adopted.
The official colors of the fiesta are red,
green and orange, the red typifying
wine, green the olive. and orange the
citrus industry. Thirty Thousand yards
Of red, green and orange calico will be
used to decorate the streets. and the
result cannot fail to be pleasing and i'm
pressive, as well as artistic.
The management OF the fiesta ie much
pleased with the encouragement which
it has 80 far received from the citizens,
both financially and morally.
1t desires to remind the people OF Los
Angeles that something more than the
mere donation of money Is needed to
make this festival a thorough success.
If every citizen will DO what he can as
an individual to help the affair along,
there is no doubt that La Fiesta de Los
Angeles will become a we'll known an
nual event throughout the country. and
will do much to extend the fame Of the
Angel City abroad.

THE REDOADO SHHIPWRECKk
The Empty Schooner Mary E.
Smith Drags Ashore.
Tie Cause Assigned is Alleged Lack
of Diligence.
The Vessel Not Injured Seriously as
Her Load Was All Out and
She Should Have Been
Far at Sea.

The evils of procrastination have
never been more thoroughly exemplifed
than in the case of the large three
masted schooner Mary +. Smith, which
arrived az Redondo from Seattle on Sun.
day last, began discharging on Tuesday
and went ashore on the beach, without
any material damage, yesterday morn
ing at 8 o'clock, in the midst of rag
ing gale of wind that blew from nearly
every point of the compass during the
10 hours preceding the disaster.
Several days ago the owners of the
vessel in San Francisco, decided to
change captains and they sent down a
new commander for the Smith, who
assumed charge on Friday just before
noon. The retired skipper went ashore
and left the vessel to his successor, who
got all his cargo out about 3 D. m. and
could have got away at least two hours
before dark. At 3 p. NJ. the glass was
falling rapidly but the wind was from
the aouth-southwest and he could have
easily weathered Point Dune with it.
By 80 p. m. the wind had worked
around due west and ali efforts to claw
off shore would have been unavailing as
the sea was right on shore and rolling
very high. 1t will be understood that
Catalina island breaks the force OF a
southwest sea and Point Dune that
from the northeast, but westerly wind
masses the whole force OF the ocean
directly on the beach. There had been
light, drizzling rain all day till p. m.
when the clouds lifted suddenly and the
sun went down in blaze of glory. By
8 O'Clock the sight Was q magnificent
one. The sea looked almost black save
where the breakers, lRshed into silvery
foam, were glistening like banners In
the rays Of the rising moon. The wind
was now fairly from the northwest and
piping like a hurricane.
At 10 O'Clock Mr.. r. II. Thompson Of
the Redondo Beach company, and the
writer OF this article, made an inspec-
tion of the situation and found the dock
all secure. The schooner had both
anchors down, with about 45 fathoms of
her chain on one and 40 on the other.
Besides these, she had two lines out to
the bucys off the end of the dock, 80
that the strain on the moorings was very
equally divided. The dock got many q
severe buffet from the angry waves, but
showed no signs OF yielding any to the
pressure. The schooner Jewett, less
than six weeks ago, had blown ashore
from the very same moorings as the
Smith, but she was @ heavier loaded
vessel, with $4,000 feet OF lumber in
her, whereas the Smith was flying
light. Hence after careful inspection
1t was concluded the ship was all right,
and the dock too.
!. 80 it would have been with no change
in the wind, for it had veered toward
the northeast before 10 O'Clock, and the

DEATH OF RICARDO TRUMBuLL

The Career of the Young Chilean
Patriot Ended.
Mr.. Richard L. Trumbull, the dis
tinguished young Chileno who was
one of the leaders of the Congressional
party in their successful revolution, and
who acted as their agent in this city in
the celebrated "Itats case" before Judge
Ross, died at Talcahuano, Chile, on the
I'd of February. A telegram in the
Chronicle of the 14th notes the fact of
Mr.. Trumbull's death. but gives no
further particulars. Numbers of citi-
zena will pleasantly remember Mr..
Trumbull, who during his stay here pro-
duced very favorable impression on all
who came in contact with him. He re-
ceived news while here that he had been
elected senator.
He was native of Chile and an ar
dent patriot He was OF good stock,
being on his fathers side q descendant
of Gov. Jonathan Trumbull of Connec-
ticut OF our revolutionary era; and he
was highly educated, having graduated
at Yale university. His father, who
was an American, went to South America
many years ago, whore he engaged in
business and married lady of Spanish
descent. There are many on this side
of the equator whose hearts are sad
dened by the death OF the Chilean
patriot, Don Ricardo Trumbull. He was
still quite young man when he died.

A LOCAL FORECAST FORECAST STATION.
That Is What Los Angeles
Must Have.
The Present Weather Predictions
Very Unsatisfactory.
A Letter from the Chief of Bureau at
Washington with Reasons for
HIS Neglect In the
Matter.

The utter worthlessness of weather
prognostications made at long range was
again demonstrated by the weather bu-
reau forecasts for Southern California the
past two days. The forecast for Fri
day was fair weather, but it turned
out to be a cold, cloudy and gloomy
day, with light showers in the foothills
and mountains.
The predictions for Saturday were
''showers, followed by fair, cooler
weather and brisk west to north
winds." In reality the weather was
warmer, without even cloud in sight,
while the "brisk west to north winds"
approached the force Of hurricane and
lasted from daylight to dark. This is
about as near as Weather Clerk Pague
at San Francisco has come to true
forecast this winter. AS rule his fore
casts are the very reverse OF the actual
conditions.
The HERALD has no end of complaints
about the absurdity of the weather bu-
reau's representations. Lieutenat
Franklin, the local observer, is care
full, painstaking official, and it does not
seem that the fault is his. Perhaps it
is not right either to censure the fore
cast officer at San Francisco. The real
trouble seems to be the remoteneas of
the forecast station from the territory
which it is supposed to cover. Mr..
Pague may be able to make true fore
casts for the latitude of San Francisco,
but he is way off on Southern California.
The country south of the TehRchepi
range will not be benefited by the
weather bureau service till forecast
Office is established at Los Angeles. The
interests OF this section demand it, and
should have it without further delay.
The combined effort of the chamber
of commerce and the board of trade and
other public spirited organizations hss
been brought to bear upon the "powers
that be" for the establishment of q To-
cal forecast Office in this city, but 30 far
in vain. The possibility of a forecast
Office being established here seems lesa
likely now than at any time heretofore,
