The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1895-03-19

f'/\X zens are beginning
H.>. rN-9v to be classed as
~ avowed revolution
lists. and when speaking OF the inevitable
conflict wear grinning countenances.
There is small body OF men headed
by Louis f. Vetter and Colonel w. H..
Chamberlain, hitherto regarded as in
offensive citizens. who are known to be
the head center OF the revolutionists, and
have acquired habit OF breaking out IN
unexplained cbuckles whenever the in
stallation of the carnival government IS
preached in their presence.
Those who claim to be close to the ears
OF these gentlemen give out with signi1i..
can't waggings of the head that there will
be rare sport upon the occasion men
toned.
The officers OF the present city govern
ment are said to be willing to do all in
their power to lay down their certificate
OF Office and succumb with good grace to
the wishes of the revolutionists
1t is not at all trifing matter to ac-
4 complish a coup d'etat, and bring it of
not only without carnage, but so that the
vanqushed will SMILE and yet this is
what the officials of the carnival govern
ment will endeavor to do, it is said.
If all goes we'll with them, they will
round up our present city officials at Haz-
ards Pavilion on Monday. April 18th, and
there either by force or brides persuade
them to let 60 for week; to take tum-
BILE to themselves anu gyrate gracefully
out Of official atmosphere.
The new officers. some OF whom are al
ready selected. and have qualified by TAX
ing the grid-iron oath presented by La
Fiesta Queen, do not propose to accept
the togas OF their predecessors without
explaining to them in more or less pic
l. ,kxvl tlyn I,u An
gees should be run. They have all, in
the course of checkered careers, observed
much and know just how other people
should attend to these little matters of
public affairs, and it will perhaps be
quite interesting to those who can be
character. which may prove useful in the
future when they come to govern.
1t is thought best at this time to pub
licly announce that the carnival officers
will not permit the deposed officials to
feel themselves coerced. If there should
and his cohorts will be kept in the pres
ence until they make affidavit that they
F.. have done what they have done without
fear, SO help them.
1t may be that all the members OF the
new government are not possessors OF
full dress suits, and 1t is very likely that
a good many of them will appear in va
riegated costumes in consequence. But
little thing like that will not deter any of
them from playing their hands out.
1t is also worthy of note that in order
to fully rise to the occasion a good many
members Of the new government are al
ready writing out what they will say upon
the occasion referred TO-, so that they can
commit it to memory and practiuce on it.
Each one will have copy in big letters
which he will carry with him SO that il
he forgets what he had intended to say
impromptu he can refresh his memory
OIL the spot.
Mr.. Vetter says that the installation
of the carnival government will be what
someone, once or twice before some
Stranger things have happened. and as
all the town will be there, it is hoped
that he is the seventh son of seventh
son, and that his prophetic eye is true
one.
A royal edict has been issued condemn
ing any officer of the new government to
blown up with dynamite who does not
believe that brevity is the soul OF wit,
who cannot polish off his predecessor and
explain his governmental theories in less
than five minutes
The uniform rank, knights of Pythias,
OF Riverside. one of the most soldierly
bodies of men in the state. are arrang
ing to participate in the Fiesta parade.
They have taken part in several ceebra-
tions and have attracted much attention
from their precision in marching and
handsome appearance. The concerts to
be given during Fiesta week are attracting
a great deal OF attention, and the music
committee is more than ever convinced
by the developments OF the past few
weeks that they are going to be even
more enjoyable and notable as musical
events than they had anticipated. Word
was received yesterday from Santa Ana
that branch choir had been organized
there by Professor Ludwig Thomas. 1t is
not yet known how many singers Santa
Ana will send to the big chorus, but
there will be u number. The music to be
sung at the concerts has been forwarded
to them and rhearsals will begin at once.
The news from other cities in Southern
California is to the effect that rehearsing
is going forward with energy and sue
cess.
The orchestra for thel occasion, which
will be very large one, has been rein
forced by Chairman Wilhartitz by the adj
dition OF several noted musicians whom
he secured last week in San Francisco.
Among them are John Marquardt violin
list, who has played with Theodore
Thomas, with Colome in Paris, and for
two years past with Schell in San Fran
cisco; also his wife, formerly; Miss Alex
andra Breitschuck, world-famous harp
list; Gruenauer, formerly of the Strauss
orchestra in Vienna and Royal Grand
Opera noted as violonccllist. and Tobin,
ton to these three are also skilled per-
formers on French horns, bassoons and
'Oboes.
1t is expected that Miss Kate Fleming
will arrive from Philadelphia next week.
The first orchestra rehearsal will take
place Thursday OF this week.
G. L. Day. choral director, and DR..
Kurtz OF the music committee went yes
tcrday to visit o. Stewart Taylor, to con-
suit with him in regard to the choruses
from surrounding cities.
In speaking Of the floats for the Pageant
of the Pacific, Mr.. Robinson said yester-
day that they will not be at all conven-
tional. They will be invested with GER
tain unusual effects, both reposeful and
spectacular, which are very seldom wit
messed in such pageants. Of late years
similar celebrations have degenerated into
quite conventional lines. The subject Of
the pageant is such that it admits of
broad scenic treatment. II differs from all
