With the SpirituaIlsts

The Harmonic Spiritual association
held meeting in the Los Angeles thea
ter last night. President DyeJ acted as
director. The meeting was opened by
prayer by Mrs. King. DR.. n. f. Ravlin
was introduced and delivered short but
eloquent address, taking for his subject,
There Is No Death. Mr.. E. k. Earle was
then introduced and at once beagn TO de-
liver messages from the spirit world.
Some OF the messages were evidently IN
tended for some other audience, as there
was no one present who claimed them,
but TO- the most part there was some one
there who recognized the communication
as for them and from some departed
friend. Mr.. Earle certainly made hit in
calling strangers by name, telling their
birth place. etc. The feature of mis- WORK
was the alleged slate writing. In the full
gas light OF the theater numb of per-
sons received communications on a slate
held firmly in their hands. and by MIR.
Earle simply placing his hands upon the
frame. \ number, however, did not find
any writing on their states, but seemed
satisfied because others did. Mr. Earle s
exhibition was remarkable one from
any stand 2oint. Remarkable il genuine,
and equally so if not. for if it be done
by triokery he is unusually clever.
feature OF the evening was the music
by Miss Lawrence as pianist. and the
sweet singing OF Prof Burnett and his
little daughter. Miss L,wrence's execu-
ton was delicate and in good time. The
and clear, had all the charm and attract
iveness ingenit to childhood. while Prof.
Burnett's work b tn in the rendering and
tone was very pleas ing.

MORE FIRES NECESSARY

1t is mistake to suppose that artihclal
heat is not needed III Southern California
during the coolest weather. 1t is a still
greater mistake to act on that theory,
as many residents do.
This is not tropical country; i. is on
ly semi tropical. During nearly one-half
the year very few persons here can be
com Portable indoors mornings and even
ings without little artificial heat, and
many a day IN winter. some fre IS nee
essafy from dawn till bedtime. And yet
it is a common thing for residents to oc'
cupy houses, rooms, shops and offices
the gear round without fires OF any kino.
OF course the occupants are often uncoin-
Portable, but they try to warm them
selves with the thought that tins is
Southern California and therefore no fires
are needfu. A prominent physician OF
Los Angeles declares it as his belief that
fully 70 per cent of the cases of colds,
influenza and grip in this city result
from their victims sitting in cold rooms.
But not only are fires scarce in dwell
ings and places of business but the same
is tine OF numerous halls, hotels and
church edIticeS. Consequently hundreds
of winter visitors from the east who can
not bring with them the necessary means
for keeping warm are not only uncon-
Portable while here, but they go away
with very unfavorabie i'm pressions OF our
boosted climate. 1t is not an uncommon
thing in the east for persons who have
spent some time here in the winter
to declare they suffered more from cold
IN Southern California than they ever
suffered at home. Such things hurt the
reputation of this country and reflect on
the veracity of those who recommend
Southern California as a glorlously COM
Portable place in the winter season. 1t
is best that every body should know the
exact truth concerning this climate. The
exact truth sIthat though this region has
the best climate in the world, small
amount of artificial heat is often essen
tial to health and comfort.

ATTEND THE rASS MEETING

This evening the people who are loyal
California in particular, and who are
broad enough in mind and big enough
in heart to recognize and appreciate the
interdependence of the different sections
of this state, will have an opportunity to
exhibit their interest in and express,
their views regarding the great fight
that San Francisco IS making for the
National Republican convention.
In response TO a call signed by q large
number OF the mt st prominent and in
fuential citizens Of Los Angeles, mass
commerce for the purpose OF formulating
ways and means of assisting the northern
metropolis in it's fight, and every person
of the kind we have noted shouIl lend
the value of theii presence.
The meeting, in point of nun bers, en-
thusiasm and intelligent action, should
be made memorable among the conspicu-
GUS gatherings OF similar character held
in this city.
No consideration of partisanship, petty
inconvenience or minor self-interest
should deter attendance.
The project that is to be aided is one
of mighty importance to the whole state
of California not be 'ause the body that
is to be induced to come to the chief city
of this state is one of significant par
tisan purpose. but because the repre-
sentative character of the men who at
tend and the direct and indirect benefits
that are certain to accrue to the entirs
comm on wealth as the result of maxim,
our attractions. advantages and needs
known personally to men who are.
whether their politics be right or wrong,
such forceful factors in the public and
private activities of this union.
On the action taken by the meeting
this evening the degree of influence that
Los Angeles will WELD IN the work of
securing the convention, and proportion
ately the share she will enjoy in the
uaHulluS VI tue ldtteT, II IL We UUlallitu,
largely and wholly depends.
1t therefore behooves every citizen who
desires to see the best use possible made
of our opportunities, to attend the con-
ference and contri butte his nit, of coun-
Sci.
To the meeting The Herald takes the
liberty of offering but two suggestions
and they are-that the asse m blage voice
it's approval of the convention idea in q
wholesoued and unuualiisd manner, and
that before adjourn ment committee
composed of substantial and enterprislng
citIzens of different political beliefs but
more prominent for public spirit than
partisanship, be appointed for the par
poses of raising whatever financial assist
ance it may be DEE med proper that Los
Angeles should render, and to act in
unison with the San Francisco orsaniza-
ton.
The II srald is gratihel that its appeal
for local public action in behalf OF a
cause of so great consequence to Califor-
MA has met with so prompt response.
1t is satisfied that the action will be gen.
erous and effectdal.

DASHED INTO A CABLE CAR
Hook and Ladder Truck Meets With sn
Accident

Trying to Cross First and Tain
CoIIided With the Car

Considerable excitement was caused at
the First Con r.gational shurch, corner
of Sixth and Hill streets, last night
about 6: AS o'clock. A cloth curtain in the
rear of the pulpit, used to help the
acoustic properties of the auditorium,
caught fire from the gas and biazed up
as though to spread to the entire editice.
The congregation was in the lecture
room in the rear of the church holding
services, but fortunately the janitor was
around and saw the flames. An alarm
was turned in and the department re-
sponded promptly. The curtain was
pulled down and eXtinguished with
Ba bcock apparatus. Tho loss was about

While responding to the alarm, hook
ana ladder truck No. l colhded with a
Boyle Heights cable car at the corner OF
First and Main streets and injured one
OF the horses so as to prevent the truck
continuing any further.
Tne truck was going down Main street
very rapidly and reached the corner OF
First sim ultaneously with car No. -,
which was going toward Spring. Con-
ductor Lawrence did not see the ap-
preaching truck until 1t was too late TO
stop the car, so he sttempted to run the
crossing. 1t was equally Impossible 10

fore legs and was unable to proceed iuI-
Their. Driver Brown took the white

station.
Frank Wiilobee and Thomas Home, the
man on the frupk that thew were
ringing the gong as they drove down the
street and fully eXnected the car to wait,
as it always does on such occasions.
George A.Williams, gripman OF the car,
said that the accident was one for which
it was impossible TO blame anybody.
There was Main street car coming from
the plaza at the same time that the truck
approached, and the confusion OF ringing
bells made it impossible to distinguish
between them.
Luckily there were no Passengers
aboard the car and no one was hurt.
