Lincoln Park Escapes.

The lake at Lincoln Park. where the
performances of "A Night in Pekin" are
being presented, was the largest 1t has ever
been yesterday morning. In fact, there
was nothing in sight but lake, and the
engineer stated that there would be no
need of pumping any more water into the
lake for some weeks. The water covered
the stage and part of the pavilion. The
scenery however. was not injured by the
rain and the wind came from such d.
rection that no damage resulted from that
source At the entrance to the park from
Central avenue the torrents Of water had
washed out the filing leaving an immense
cave. This excavation extended under the
street-car tracks, and a number of men
were put to work at once preparing the
track for use. The management or the
park also put men to work, and the park
will be in condition for the presentation OF

ncse government to act in advisory
capacity to the Chinese ENJOYS who
will sue for peace from Japan. Gov.
Foster has repeatedly asserted him
self as a firm advocate of remoneti-
zation of silver, and we believe he
will use his influence that the Jap
anese demands for war indemnity
are to be paid in silver. If the
amount of the japanese demands
are not quoted as too high it will be-
come necessary that all the sil-er
mines of the world con ribute to the
supply Of the indemnity, as the sur
plus of the white metal in all coun-
tries does not exceed two or three
hundred million ounces. The dark
est gloon is always followed by

Editorial Points.

The tramp question creates no
little uneasiness in the city of Los
Angeles, and all means are resorted
TO for its abatement. But how this
can be accomplished bothers the
minds Of peace officers and Of the
public generally. A good deal Of
the crime committed can be attrib-
uted to the prevailing hard times,
and new recruits are continually
added to the long list of offenders.
Los Angeles claims great big boom
in population and building; it
claims population Of 100000, but
does not mention how many tramps
and idle men, willing to work, but
unable to get any employment, con-
tribute to this large number Of peo-
pie. Los Angeles has great num-
ber Of wealthy people who accumu-
lated their fortunes from the rise j
property values, which they bought
in the early days Of that city. That
city has number of rich men, who
created their wealth in trade and
banking, and can't these people
employ some of their large means
by giving employment to the needy?
Can't the rich county and city Of
Los Angeles set aside an amount
monthly to employ the tramp ele-
ment by making good roads, i'm
prove their parks and do other work
beneficial to the county in future
years, even if not needed at present.
Can't these prop rty owners and
business men take hold of the Joa-
quin valley railroad and push it to
an early completion? A young busi-
ness man, member of a wholesale
grocery firm, clearly expressed the
smallness Of the mental caliDer Of
his class by saying to reporter of
the Herald the other d y: "Why
should Los Angeles business men
ia hold Of this projected road if
the San francisco merchants take
no interest in it?" Such people are
neither merchants nor men fitted to
build up communities. They have
the souls of peddlars, and the
wealt they possess is derogatory to
the welfare CT the country.

CHRISTMAS OPENING.
Ten Thousand Pounds of Candy to
Be Given Away.
Grand Display of Holiday Goods.
Quality Finest Ever
Received.

"Johnetons," the popular Seventh street
old-fashioned idea of Christmas Cheer"
Their magnificent double stores, 72e-7S1
Seventh street, are most gorgeously deco
rated in crimson and silver tinsel, with
here and there a glimpse OF holly or ever
green or a wreath of the two com bined.
The chandeliers are gracefully draped in
gauzy material of variegated colors, and
under the full glare of the electric light
the establishment presents q dazzling ap-
pearance to evening visitors.
On Monday their superb Christmas open
ing will take place, during which 10000
pounds of candy Will be given away to
their customers. The quality of the goods
offered 10 unexcelled this year. They have
an exceptionally fine supply OF every
thing desirable for the festive board, In
Guiding raisins, currants, dates, piueap-
pies, oranges, ba nanas, almonds, walnuts,
butternuts, peca us, filberts, shellbarks,
hickory nuts, etc., etc.
Without doubt Jobnstons is the most
popular establishment OF the kind In the
city. 1t would indeed be difficult for the
ladies to find more attractive place to
shop. Their cash system is perfect-there
is no unpleasant waiting for change. or
annoyance caused by lack of attention.
Fifty clerks Will be in attendance during
their opening, and more will be employed
as the season advances.
Another valuable consideration is the
fact that the firm is still issuing the val
liable premium cards, which enable pur-
chasers to procure free the expensive pres
ents before enumerated in these columns.
