FIRST DELEGATE FOR REED.

The first delegate to the Republican
National convention was chosen in
Berks county, Penn, Saturday. His
name is Fl Ugh, and this is the third time
he has been elected delegate to a Repub-
lican convention. He made brief speech
in which he alluded to Allison, Mckinley
and finally to "that great parliament
tartan, big, brainy Thomas B. Reed of
Maine.' The mention of Mr.. Reed S
name was greeted with vociferous ap-
plause. The audience rose and cheered,
hats were thrown in the air and many
cried themselves hoarse. There Is no
doubt ahout Mr.. Highs position. Like
his constituents, he is for Mr.. Reed.
There will be plenty more of the same
kind from Pennsylvania Indeed there is
not much doubt but the State will be
practically solid for the Maine candi date.

The charge made by Harper's Weekly
that Admiral Ramsay has deliberately
planned to prevent sea evolutions by our
navy on large scale, lest some admiral
or commodore may gain distinction
out of them, is a pretty serious one and
coming from journal that is not given
to sensationalism, it deserves something
more than passing notice. Ii Jealousy
among naval officers is to be permitted to
destroy the efficiency of the new navy,
which has been built up at vast expense
from the contributions of the people, GER
tainly halt ought to be called immedi-
ately in the further extension of the
navy. It seems almost incredible that an
officer would be guilty of such tactics as
HaTper's Weekly charges Admiral Ram
say with, and yet the history of the war
of the Rebellion is full of instances where
jealousy among commanders paralyzed
the efficiency of armies and brought de-
feat where cordial cooperation would
have ensured victory.

The Kentucky Democrats are growing
desperate At the suggestion of their
State committee series of joint debates
was arranged between their candidate for
governor, Gen. Hardin, and the Republi-
can candidate, Col Bradley, but at the
last meeting the crowd howled down the
latter, not permitting him to reply to his
opponent Possibly the uproar may have
been inspired less by dislike for Col.
Bradley than by pity for Gen. Hardin,
for in the previous debates the latter had
been so badly used up that it was un
douhtedly great kindness to him to shut
Col. Bradley's mouth. But the proper

Hardin. Another sign that the

At the meeting of the board of supervi-
sors yesterday, on motion of Supervisor

to procure material for the construction of
a bridge on State street, Alamitos, near
Charles Thornburg's place, in the Long
Beach road district, the said Thornburg
aud others to build said bridge without cost
to the county for labor.
Charles Ferman appeared before the
board to advocate the granting of fran
chse to the Kern River Light and Power
company, the object of which is to generate
electric power i'll Kern river and convey
the same to Los Angeles. Mr.. Ferman ar
gued at some length in favor of his COM

day. The supervisors will probably order
the franchise advertised today.
The agent of patent gas burner ap-
peared before the board to advocate the adj
vantages of his burner as gas saver. 1t
was agreed that he should put fifty burn
ers in the Jail as an experiment.
On motion of Supervisor Woodward the

Divorce Business

The divorce case of Mrs. Matilda Ryan
VS.. f. G. Ryan was heard by Judge Nc
Kinley yesterday afternoon with closed
doors, when decree was ordered in favor
of plaintiff as prayed for. The divorce
was granted on the grounds of drunken
ness and failure to provide.
Judge Smith heard the divorce suit of j.
o. Mcpherson vs.. l.. Mcpherson, but re-
fused to grant decree. making an order,
however. that the plaintiff be allowed to
amend his complaint. 1t appears that Nc
Pherson suspected his wife of having too
much affection for other men, and brought
his suit on the ground of cruelty, the said
cruelty consisting of great mental anguish
and worry caused by his wife's action.
Judge Smith remarked that woman was
sometimes entitled to a divorce on the
grounds set forth, but he did not think it
should apply to man. His honor init
mated that if he would put in his COM
plant on the proper charge it would doubt
less receive proper attention.

VALUABLE COLLECTION
The Donation of Two Men to the Uni
versity Of Southern
California
II Comprises Books, Minerals, Fossils, Eth.
biological and Archaeological Forms and
Land and Marine Shells

The University of Southern California
has acquired, partly through the generosity
of A. NJ. Peck of Compton and partly by
donation from the proprietor, DR.. Stephen
Bowers, editor of the California Voice, his
valuable collection of books and speci-
mems, which he has had stored for SO long
time in his fire-proof building at Ventura.
The collection consists of minerals, fossils,
marine, land and fresh water shells, eth
biological and archaeological forms, etc.
Nearly every land of this globe is sepre-
scented, and nearly every geological forma-
ton. There are some archaeological
specimens from Egypt, Italy, Scandinavia.
Sandwich Islands, from the Aztecs, from
many of the states, and especially from
Southern California.
In geological specimens, England, Ger
many, France, Italy, Egypt. Africa, Pales-
tine. Russia, Greenland, China, Japan and
The islands OF the sea are represented. The
collection contains fine collection of
gems, ranging from crystals to calcite and
to diamonds in the rough from Africa. The
ores and metals from the baser to the fin
est are represented. There is a fine col
lection of crystal models, illustrating
every form of crystaloRraphy, also models
of the principal diamonds of the world.
There are some 200 species of North
American land shells and many foreign
forms. The Nile. the Sea of Galilee, the
Pools of Tyre, the Mountains of Lebanon
and other noted places contribute their
quota of land and fresh water shells. There
is also large collection of marine shells,
California forms being we'll represented.
In short, the collection is the best results
of nearly the lifetime of an original and
busy collector, and is very valuable from
financial as we'll as from the scientific
standpoint. The library is large and valll-
able and is especially rich in books of
science, geology predominating. In the
collection the donor has eschewed mere
curiosities and has made it with an eye to
the useful in science.
1t will be known as 1.-THE Bowers Collec-
tion." to which Dr. Bowers will add from
time to time, and which it is hoped will be
the nucleus for the largest university col
lection on the Pacific slope. 1t is valu.
able acquisition of which the friends of the
university are justly proud.

spilIman-compton Adultery Case

Yesterday when the examination of
Charles G. Compton and Mrs. w. T. Spill
man on charge of adultery was called in
the township police court. there were no
witnesses in attendance, and continuance
was taken to Friday. 1t now begins to look
as If the whole matter would be dropped.
Mr.. Spillman claimed to have ten or fif-
teen witnesses to the act, but said that they
would not come into court. He wanted the
case dismissed and new complaint filed,
but Assistant District Attorney Williams
would not consent to this. If the witnesses
are not forthcoming Friday the charge will
doubtless be dismissed.
