Fortunes in Literary Advertising.

Literary advertising, in the public
prints, ! think, is undergoing a change.
says writer, and what is generally
regarded as the more popular maga-
zines of the day are no longer the
largest advertisers. The Harpers are
the exception to this rule, and still ioia
the lead as the house spending the most
money in advertising their magazines.
1 suppose they spend close Oh to $780,
900 year; but then they have four
periodicals to push. 1t is in the realm
of what is called domestic literature
that the largest advertisers are now
found. TIE Young Ladies' Home
Journal of Philadelphia probably
spends more in advertising during a
year than any single periodical, and
its bills must easily foot up $4,000.
The Youths Companion ranks next
with good 100000 annual advertis-
ing-always spent within two months
of the year.
The New York Ledger, with its
special boom, now comes third prob
ably The Scribners, suppose, spend
a comfortable 49,, 200 year in push
ing their magazine, while the Century's
yearly bills amount to about an equal
amount, including their st. Nicholas
advertising. All these are large sums,
but as an evidence that it pays to adj
vertise good magazine, it will be
seen that the periodicals named are all
tho"e having the largest circulation in
tho world. The publisher of a maya
zine, if he be wise, knows that it is
profitable to be liberal advertiser
provided, Of course, that he makes a
periodical which will sustain his adj
vertisements, and all those ] have
named undoubtedly fill this requisite

A. w. Irving Meets a Horrible
Death Last Night

II Txxr;a <ad Ind n
HE WAS A NEW CONDUCTOR
The Man Was Turned and Twisted Under the
Cars Until His Life Was Crushed Out.
Nobody to Blame

Near the corner of First and Rose streets
about 10 clock last night, A. w. Irving,
new conductor on the Boyle Heights
cable car line, living at PIG East First
street, met with a horrible death while in
the discharge OF his duties. He was the
conductor of one of the trains that are run
over the road, and had only been in his
position about two months.
Near the corner of First and Rose
streets there is sharp curve in the road
and Irving, who had been collecting fares
on the dummy, went to swing himself
from the platform of one car to the plat
form of the other. Just as he swung
around the cars struck the curve and lrv-
ing was thrown between them. Tom
Brown, the gripman on the train, did not
see him fall and did not slacken speed
until the cries of the passengers warned
him something was wrong.
The cars had Travelled fully hundred
feet before they were stopped, and all the
time poor Irving was being rolled and
twisted and ground between the wheels OF
first one car and then the other. When
the train was finally brought to stand
still, Irving was found wedged underneath
the forward trucks of the rear car. 1t was
with difficulty his bruised and bleeding
body was extricated, and every body
thought he was dead, but he was man
of splendid physique, and although terri.
+ bly, mangled and unconscious still held
tenaciously to life.
With the hope OF saving him, Dr. Choate
was hastily summoned. Irving was laid
on the sidewalk by Brown, the gripman,
and the male passengers on the car. 1t
needed but glance for Dr. Choate
to pronounce the man hopelessly injured
and the Receiving Hospital was at once
notified. Fortunately the wagon had
answered call in that portion of the city
but few minutes before, and it was
quickly found and sent to the scene of the
accident. Irving was placed on stretcher
but died before he reached the hospital.
The deceased was married man, but
had no children. Later, Coroner Camp
bell called at the Receiving Hospital and
ordered the body taken to the morgue,
where an inquest will be held today.
There was no one to blame for the acct
dent, only the coupled cars which have
long been considered dangerous and have
been abandoned by most cable roads.

FOR THE SICK AND POOR
A PolycIinic Established Here for the
Treatment of Diseases
An Institution Similar to Those In Vogue
in Metropolitan Cities, Where They
Are a Success

Los Angeles has another institution
which places her among the progressive
metropolitan cities.
Tomorrow morning the Los Angeles
| Polytechnic will be opened at No. 337 North
Main street. where the poor will receive
medical treatment free OF charge.
The Polytechnic has been for years sue
cessfully conducted in the large Eastern
and Western cities to the great benefit OF
suffering humanity. and especially to
those who are unable to obtain the SER
vices. of competent physicians.
In San Francisco similar institute on
was opened about ten years ago, under
the protectorate OF a number OF proml-
nent ladies who acted as patronesses. A
corps of reputable and well-known physi-
clans is daily in attendance to treat the
patients. Each physician has special
department in his particular practice, and
in this manner the people are treated by
medical men who have made the respect
i've branches speciality.
The success OF the San Francisco Poly
clinic was 50 great that it was found
necessary to establish free hospital in
connection with the institution, and to-
day that city has one OF the pest con-
Quoted hospitals in the United States.
The nucleus to such grand and benev-
client organization has been laid here by
the incorporation OF the Los Angeles Poly
| clinic 1t will be conducted within the
| same lines as similar institutions else
where and will become retreat for the
sick poor, the benefits OF which cannot
be lerestimated. At present several
ladies have volunteered to give their best
| efforts toward the successful operation OF
| the clinic, and the clergy have realized
| its vast imp Jrtance and have promised
| their cooperation.
According to the certificate OF incorpo-
ration the Polytechnic is or anized as a
college for the purpose Of providing and
| giving postgraduate instruction to grad
yates OF recognized schools and colleges of
regular medicine, and to confer degrees
and diplomas under such regulations as
may be established by the facuI ty, and to
maintain hospital and provide means
| for the care and treatment OF the sick and
| injured
| The present quarters at No. 81 North
| Main street consist of four rooms and two
| consulting rooms. The latter are fitted
| up with / operating table and the med
| ical instruments necessary for the treat
ment OF patients. The public will be adj
mttcd and physicians may be consulted
daily, except Sunday, from 8 O'Clock a.
m. to 3 o clock p. m.
| Those whose financial condition pre-
| vents them from procuring medical aid
| will be treated free by the physician
| under whose particular department the
| patient belongs.
The faculty is composed as follows: Sur
gerry, Drs. W. Allen and W. H. Fales
| diseases OF children, Drs. T. Davidson
and J. Ii. Seymour; skin diseases, DR..

Besides other matters of interest that

to Sacramento to properly lay before the
Governor the sentiments of the dairymen
OF this section concerning the signing by
him of the bill recently passed for the
regulation of the sale and use of imita-
ton dairy products, to which this asso-
citation and kindred associations at the
North had pledged themselves to support,
and the probabilities are that the Cover
nor will sign the bill within very few
days, notwithstanding the strong oppo.
sition manifested against it by oleomari
garine, hutterine and filled cheese"
manufacturers and dealers. The most
important provision OF this bill is that
which provides that in al. hotels, restau-
rants, ETC., where such is served to guests
the latter shall be notified OF what they
