A PRETTY LITTLE ROMANCE
Young Millionaire Blinn Said TO Be En-.
gagged to Miss Nannary
She Is nember Of the Daley Theatrical
Company. and He Is Well-Known
1an Of the City

A very pretty little romance was
learned of yesterday. affecting a popular
young millionaire of this city, Mr.. Irving
l.. Blinn. and the charming young ac-
tIess. Miss Geneveive Nannary.
Miss Nannary came here with the Dali
ley theatrical company which recently
closed twelve-weeks' engagement at
company it was learned that Mr.. Blnn
met the young actress during that en-
gagement when she was playing the lead
in the Galley Slave and was at once great
ly impressed with her many attractive
qualities. At the close of the Burbank
season TIL. company played the Texas
circuit. but it is said that the two young
people corresponded and that Miss Nan
nary was persuaded into promising to
play a matrimonial engagement with Nj.
Blinn. 1t was further said yesterday by
those who should know that Mr.. Blinn
would go with the company to San Diego.
where it commences a season tonight,
and that very likely the wedding would
take place there.
Herald reporter called last evening at
the residence Of Mr.. J.. W. Blinn, the
father of the young man. but he would
neither affirm nor deny the story, beyond
admitting that Manager Daley of the
company had talkei with him slightly
about the matter. He said that his son
was old enough to know his own mind,
Mr.. Binn could not be found last even
ing. and those who were seen who knew
him had no information to give about
the matter

A BELATED PROPHET

Speaking about this scheme that the
mysteriousy nominated candidate of the
silver party has for doubling the pros
perlty of the country by doubling it,,
money. and which he puts IN such axio-
matte form, why should VIC quit at doub-
ling? If prosperity is good and we all
agree that it is, why not have more of
it? What is the matter with ouadruplinr
it by quadrupling the medium of ex-
change? And then when we catch up to
that stage we can give the financial wheel
another twist and increase money until
we grow drunk with prosperity. There
are lots of things besides gold and silver
to make money Of. We can utilize con-
per. iron. zinc and finally paper. This
thing that philosophers, political econo-
mists and those impractical college pro-
fessors that the intensely practical Mr..
Sibley holds in such contempt, have been
stri ing for all these years is after all a
mere matter OF mint or mill capacitv.
Vita the right kind OF coinage facilities
or paper factories, prosperity can be pro-
duced by the barrel or the mile and dis
tributed among the people free. Mr.. Sib-
ley should have come sooner. The world
has waited too long for him.

ANOTHER DEFEAT FOR IMPERIALISM

The defeat by the reichstag of the anti
revolution bill is another backset to i'm
perialism in Germany. The measure was
one of the most drastic proposed during
the past century, and was intended to
check the rising tide OF democracy now
becoming so strong in the German en-
pire. Though ostensibly aimed at the
suppression of violent socialistic mani
festations. once in operation i. would
have been twisted and distorted from its
literal meaning into the accomplishment
OF it's real intent-the stern repression Of
any indications OF popular discomfort
with the autocratic German ruler.

AN AVENUE FOR INVESTMENT

1t is to be hoped that the plans for se-
curing u cannery at Fullerton will result
in the early establishment of such an in
stitution. Canning establishments are as
yet entirely too few and far between in
Southern California. If they were more
literally sprinkled through this section,
a decided stimulus would be given fruit
growing. The possibility of convenient
market for his product. even at mucn
less profit than might be obtained by
shipping, offers great inducements to the
man contemplating an investment in
fruit culture. The we'll equipped and
heavily capitalized canning establish
ments Of Santa Clara, Alameda and Napa
counties have proven most potent agen-
cies IN the wonderful development those
counties have enjoyed. Cann-ries have
been demonstrated to be among the most
profitable enterprises in the state. and
they should easily attract a goodly share
of the idle capital resting in our bank
vaults at present. This is already one
OF the conspicuous fruit producing Sec
tions of the United States, and with the
wonderful planting OF acreage now pro.
crossing it is destined soon to greatly
augment its output. Next to growing
things, the industry of chief importance
would seem to be that of having the prepa
ration of those things for the markets of
the world. The fruit canning. drying
and packing lines are embraced within
that industry, and the bankers. capital
lists and business people generally who
are interested in Ithe prosperity of this
part of the state can most materially as
sist its promotion by lending substantial
encouragement to these business ven-

in SOCIAL LIFE

Major Truman in recent issue OF the
Capital has the following about popular
young man of this city. the son of Mr.. T.
D. Mott. His being selected as orator at
Jackson. Michigan, spoken of in the ex-
cerpt is emphasized by the fact that he
was chosen from among 600 other stnd-
ents:
I'VE allude to T. D. Mott, jr., Not
many years ago he graduated from Santa
Clara college. which has so handsomely
battle of life. Then the young fellow
came home; and, after remaining here
for few months, he concluded that he
had not gone for enough with study to
eminently make him eligible for the place
in life his aspirations had led him to be-
lieve he might occupy. So his parents
consented to send him to the law school
university OF Notre Dame. Indiana.
This wasn't so very long ago. But
now comes news that not only will this
Los Angeles boy graduate TINS year. bat
that. at banquet lately given at Jack
son. Mich, he had been selected to at
tend and respond to toast on behalf of
the University of Indiana, the faculty of
the latter having been requested-as we'll
as all or many othersin the United States
to select one OF their scholars to attend
and respond to toast.
This is only commencement OF the
shower Of honors upon our Los Angeles
boy; for, this being the fiftieth year (the
Jubilee Year, of the university of Notre
Dame. I. d. Mott, jr., has been sele cted
as orator. And this is not all. The new
law school now being established at Wash
ington. DC, has offered scholarship to
the worthy subject OF this notice, and he
has accepted it.
I'm conclusion we may incidentally
state that Johp q Griffip Matt brother To
L. d. Mott, jr., is also attending school
at the university of Notre Dame in Indi-
ana and will graduate this year and re-
turn to Los Angeles"

THE UPWARD TENDENCY IN WAGES

in employees wages in the leading in

double purpose OF showing the indica

ativing the Republican prophecies that
there would be no addition to wages after
the passage of the Democratic tariff
measure. 1t is to be noted that these in

OF 15 per cent, followed by an increase
OF l6 per cent for the employees of Frick

the earnings Of the thousands OF men
employed there.
