IN A POOR HOUSE

San Francisco, Feb. 27.-George T.
Gaden, the Mayors agent, has been in
vestigating the pest house in Sou tn San
Francisco, and says the institution is filthy
and the inmates left in squalor and
wretchedness.
81 simply have no words adequate to
describe the filthy condition of almost
everything connected with the institu-
ton, said MI Gaden. II was prepared
from what | had heard to find things in
pretty bad shape, but the actual state I
find is almost beyond belief. The place
is one mass of dirt. filth and vermin, and
it is wonder that the inmates do not

THE HERALD IN EVIDENCE

And now the long suffering citizens OF
Los Angeles-at least that portion OF
them who read journalism a she is
wrote by the latest exponents the art,
imported at great eXpense-afe to be
treated to another dose of that old and
n,ouldy chestnut, so dear to the heart of
the rural 'gernalist, the vote by coupon
for the most popular lady. Generally in
such cases the winner gets something,
whether it is an orioide watch or an order
on fortune teller, but in the present in
stance the voters will not even have that
reward for their palms. as the successful
candidate will not necessarily be chosen
as the queen OF the Fiesta, but will be
taken under advisement as it were, by the
Fiesta committee. There are some who
believe that the fortunate lady who is to
personify the queen has been chosen
already, and if this opinion is correct it
should certainly be known to The Herald
people. Some citizens are afraid if this
boom business is kept up at such fever
heat for the next six weeks that a good
many people will begin to grow weary of
the Fiesta before it begins. Have the
Fiesta managers plain, everyday nerve
and good sense enough to refuse to coun-
tennce fakes? We shall see.-Los Angeles
Times.
Last week we made serious mistake
in mentioning the new Herald OF Los An

Examiner and Chronicle. The Herald
is second to no paper on the Pacific
Coast. Its twentyfpur page edition last
Sunday was one OF the most complete
newspapers ever issued in any city OF the
Golden State-Mohave Miner.
