She is such very charming girl,
With eyes of sweetest, softest brown,
Her hair wealth of snn-kissed curl,
Her cheeks bit Of tinted down.
Her lips are curved like Cupld's bow,
Her nose piece of Grecian grace,
While dir pies dip, and come and 60
Across the beauty OF her face.
Her foot was built for fairy-land,
Her figure modelled Venus wise;
An artists model is her hand,
Her voice where music's essence lies!

A lover fond, one day for me
| long to rest my weary eye
On maid so rarely rare as she.

the now famous adams Street tract"
One year ago last juno this territory was
a naked common. At that time it was
surrounded by unimproved property and
was considered to be very far from the
immediate requirements of the city 1or
residence purposes. Soon after this
Grider e. Dow, well-known real estate
men, purchased the tract for about $780,
900, and Immediately began its improve
ment. The altitude, topography and To-
cation of the property made it possible
to divide 1T into lots OF unusual desir-
ability and OF perfect symmetry. The
tract is bounded on the north by Adams
street, the finest thoroughfare of South
ern California, ON the east by Central av-
enue, and on the west by San Pedro
street. Through the property, from east
to west. some of the most important resi-
dence thoroughfares of the city have been
extended. The centor of the tract is
traversed by Twenty-eighth street. a
broad avenue 100 feet in width. Parallel to
it are Twenty seventh and Twenty-ninth
streets. Beginning at the east boundary
the avenues crossing the tract are, in
their order. Center. Paloma, Griffith, Stan
ford and San Pedro. The first thing done
by Grider & Dow was to eNpend $35, 600 in
street mprovements. such as grading, 81 1e-
walk construction and tree planting. The
tract was first put into perfect readiness
for the construction of iirst-class resi-
uenees; none other being desired. Sew
erage, water mains, electric light and

ing restrictions of the tract are as follows
For Adams street, no residence shall bs
erected to cost less than $1,000; for
Twenty-seventh street the limit is $1,000;
for Twenty-eighth, $780, and for
Twenty ninth, $3.50.
The effect of these wholesome require
ments Is very noticeable. The cost of
residences already built has, as a
rule, far ontran the requirements. All
the residences of the tract are of
thoroughly modern type. Their owners
are well-to-do people and their thrift is
plainly evinced in their homes. Many
of the residences are pretentious struc-
lures, rlvaling those of the uptown ave-
nues. A particularly pleasing feature OF
the residence construction OF the tract Is
the uniformity with which lawns have
beei beautihed and adorned with shrub
by the strength of rich alluvial soil,
is rapidly changing the aspect Of this
territory from an unsightly waste to
that of an oriental garden. AS an ex-
ample OF the style of resideIce now
erected upon the tract group OF cottages
is presented herewith which is fairly
representative of the general character.
The future of the Adams Street tract is
destined to be that of one OF the most
popular residence districts OF the city of
Los Angeles. 1t is just enough removed
from the noise and confusion OF CONNER
cial activity to afford the quiet repose SO
desirable and at the same time it is not
distant enough from the heart of the city
to be inaccessible. Then the great ex-
tent the tract, once it is improved for
residence purposes, will resist the en-
croachnent Of the trading class. Finally,

following sales have been made:

Mr.. w. Lee, whose fine residence, built
at q cost of $4,000. forms one of the sub

rectly opposite this residence the city

Upon Twenty street ara many
tasteful cottages and soma pretentious
dwellings. Conspicuous, among them is
the fl ne residence OF DR.. Cheney, at the
corner of Paloma aver ue. The cost of the
structure was $2000 Lot No. 229 is owned
by w. s. Pollock. The residence cost
$500. As would naturally follow. the
finest structures on the tract face upon

Immediately extended to the premises.
The tract is sidewalked with cement of
uniform width and style OF construction
throughout, and all street cutters
are coped with the same desirable mater
Ial. Recently the city purchased five
choice lots at the conner of San Pedro
avenue and Twenty eighth street tor use
as a public school site. The appropria-
tion for the building already aggregates
about $19 500.
As place of residence the Adams Street
tract is, perhaps, the most desirable To-
cality now upon the local market. 1t Is
distant from the center of the business
district about one and half miles, or
twelve minutes ride by electric car. rs
elevation is 200 feet above sea level, or
about 100 feet below the city. to the
north. 1t has natural drainage which
must insure for all time immunity from
flooded condition of the surface. The
sewerage system of the city traverses the
immediate Locality by one of the outfall
lines to the ocean. The tract also has a
branch post Office for theconvenience of
residents.
TO maintain the desirability of this ter
ritory as place of residence the manage
mant has made all sales thus far under
certain specific restrictions as to style
and cost OF buildings to be erected. The
result is that the half hundred cottages
and more pretentious habitatiops now
completed are uniformly of the highest
type OF residence architecture. The build.

without warning. Eugene Stanley shot
and fatally wounded Ida Wood during
the progress of a trial. She was ac-
cused of having rolled" the man who
shot her. taking from him $40. She
was on trial for the alleged offense.
There was a great crowd in the court
room and one or two witnesses had
been examined. Suddenly eXciaiming,
She will never rob another man"
Stanley rose in his seat not 10 feet from
where the woman was sitting and in
rapid succession fired three shots at her
back. The first entered near the Shout
der and ranged down in the muscles
of her side. The second passed through
a kidney and entered the abdominal
cavity, and the doctors say must prove
fatal. The third shot missed it's mark
entirely. BY this time Sergeant Muir
ply had grabbed the man with the gun
and further shooting was prevented.
There was tremendous stampede
when the first shot was fired and a
panic followed. Luckily no one was
hurt in the wild rush for the door. Ida
Wood is little known here. although she
has been an inmate of the disreputable
quarter for some time. Stanley for
merry kept a saloon in Fergus county
and is well known in the northwest sec
ton of Montana. He is said to have
made threats against the woman since
the night she is said to have rob bed
him. He refused to make any state
ment and does not pretend to be crazy.

SANTOS CLAIM is IN JEOPARDY
Chance for Ecuador TO Delay Indemnity
Long Overdue.

washington, March 27.-There is some
reason to apprehend that there may be
o nature OF arbitration of the celebrate ted
santos claim against Ecuador as a result
Of change made by Great Britain in
her representation In that country, or at
least 1t may be found necessary to go over
the entire ground again and secure a
modification of the treaty negotiated
with so much pains by United States
Minister Mahony, by which the case was
to be adjudicated.
Santos is an American citizen, who was
imprisoned and despoiled of his property
by the Eeuadoreans in 1884 and 1885. At
enc time this led to serious trouble be-
tween the United States and Ecuador.
and 1t was necessary to send United
States warships to secure Santos re-
lease. claim for indemnity was pre-
TERED by our government. which lam
gulshed many years, and 1t was not until
1894 that the final Publications were ex-
changed for a treaty. but the claim was
to be submitted to arbitration.
BY the terms of this treaty the British
minister at quito was to be requested to
act as arbitrator, in the event of his
declination, he was to name the arbitra-
tor. There was no further provision for
the selection of an arbitrator, and this
may prove to have been an important
omission. for news has reached here that
the British government has withdrawn
its minister at Quito, leaving at that
place only a consul general. Unless this
official has been clothed with diplomatic
powers, so that he may fulfill the treaty
definition of a diplomatic representative
it will be impossible to proceed under
the treaty. and 1t will be necessary to re-
ceive the consent of the Ecuadorean gov
eminent to cure the fault. This must in
the natural order be submitted to our
senate for APPROVAL ratifications must
be again exchanged and the claimant
must submit to further delay before he
can expect an award.
