A Charming Luncheon

Beautiful decorations, delicious
menu and the graceful dispensing of
hospitality constituted the pleasures At
luncheon given yesterday by Mrs. r..
j. Widney at her home on West
Twenty eighth street in honor of Mrs
M. l.. Mccormack. A centerpece that
was decidedly Frenchy in combination
OF colors was formed of sweet peas, La
France roses and marguerites, the trio
of colors being pink, yellow and purple.
Satin bows of the same colors were
placed with artistic effect at the corners
of the table. Covers were laid for six,
and scattered over the cloth were
dainty blossoms. A handsome Dres-
den candlestick held a lighted candle,
which marked the pleasant hours that
passed, and will also be a reminder
of the delightful affair to Mrs Ward,
who captured it as the first prize in
guessing how long it would take for the
candle to burn to given point
The guests were Mines. M. L. McCor-
mack, John 7. Jones, j. H. Norton and

FIGHT FOR LIFE

Three supervisors, four superior

the county ticket that will be voted

While the places are not numerous
still the positions are important, and
there is grand scramble for them

legislative nominations.
1t is practically agreed among the
Democrats and Populists that a fusion

The Boss Is After the Legislative and Super

There was a sound of revelry at the
courthouse yesterday. for in the several
offices was gathered the beauty and the
chivalry that goes to make up the rank
and file of those to whom the constitu-
tionality of the four year term meant a
great deal.
The county officials themselves had
smiles and cheap cigars for their friends
and pleasant words for all. The deputies
were joyful beyond description. They
were insured a two years extension of
their pull at the county sack and this
very properly warranted their exuber-
ance of spirit
The ladies who work in the county of
fees looked younger by several years
and in instances acted quite giddy. They
held caucus directly after 10 o'clock and
decided as one woman to show their ap-
probation of the just judgment Of the su-
preme court by appearing in elegant new
fall style tailor-made costumes on or
about September 1st next.
But every rose has it's thorn. While the
supreme court opinion on the four year
term was a source of qualification to a
few 1t was matter of regret to many.
In the first place the taxpayers did not
feel at all gleeful. In fact they were sad,
for the present regime at the courthouse
has been most expensive one.
Then there were many Republicans
who had their eyes on the soft berths at
the courthouse. They were going to en-
ter the lists and try to secure one. Now
the ambition and their prospective snap
will have to be delayed, postponed, as it
were, for twenty-four long and weary
months.
There were some Republicans who
were in hopes that the four year term
would be knocked out, as they thought If
q full county ticket was placed in the
field then some local enthusiasm would
be injected into the campaign, which
would help out the national ticket and
the Honorable James McLachlan. Up to
cate the political atmosphere hereabouts
Tor Mckinley and McLachlan has been
at the freezing point and Col Otis in his
cheerful way, is rapidly sending it below
zero. With county candidates in the
field the chill could have been taken Off
at least. VA
Then the grief of the ward strikers and
heelers is really a touching thing to be-
hold. They consider that the decision
defrauds them of their Just earnings and
opportunities.
But those whose official tenure Is ex-
TENDED two years are in great form and
nigh feather. Now they will not have to
bear the great burden of the expensive
campaign the Republicans are making
IN th1s county and they can look upon
nnance committees and the "touchee"
with scorn and contempt

fast which was served. The table was
fragrant and artistic with white carna-

Board Mav Rsconsider

The office of the superintendent of the
city schools may not be removed to the
Olive street schools for at the next meet
ing OF the board of education action di-
recting this change to be made will in
all probability be reconsidered.
In order to fit UP proper quarters at
the Olive street school for the superin-
tendent and his assistant an expenditure
of about $500 would be required.
The point has been made that for
$500 the attic at the city hall could be
arranged and fitted up so that it could
be used for the public library. Then the
room adjoining the present offices of
the school superintendent could be Civ

The Republican silverites started to
work early yesterday morning. They
permitted no time to pass idly by but
proceeded at once to business. The COM
mittees appointed at the Tuesday even
.ng meeting all took the initiatory ST. rs
In the matter of performing the duties
assigned to them.
The committee on organization met at
the office of H. Il. Hazard in the Downey
block and organized by electing Fl. T.
Hazard as chairman and Nathan Cole,
jr., as secretary. There was full at
tendance of all the members of the COM
mittee.
Judge A. M. Stephens, chairman of the
Democratic county central committee,
appeared and invited the silver Repub-
licans to join with the Republicans and
Democrats in selecting a hall which all
could use as place of meeting.
The committee selected William Rom
mel to act as representative in this mat
ter.
After some little debate it was decided
that the new organization would be
known as the Silver Republican club of
Los Angeles county.
The test of membership was also
agreed upon. Every voter to be eligible
must have been in the past affiliated
with the Republican party.
There was quite a discussion as to
whether the organization should extend
TO the entire district or over merely the
county, but it was finally decided to
connne 1T to the county. Aid and collu-
sci Will be given, however, to assist the
formation of outside clubs in the other
nVe counties of the district.
"A committee of five was appointed to
assist the committee previously named
IN drafting the letter which is to be sent
out all over the district stating the ac-
tlon or the Los Angeles Republicans in
rePuoiating Congressman McLachlan
Tor his betrayal of silver.
The officers of the Silver Republican
cluo OF Los Angeles county are to be as
follows: '''
president, three vice-presidents. a
secretary, a treasurer, a corresponding
secretary and an executive COMMITTEES
OF twenty-five, five members to be Sc

done on Thompson street Poindexter &
Wadsworth have filed with the city clerk
statement. In it they state that the
work was done by M. S. Cummings, the
original contractor, and that the street
is in first class condition. They also claim
the protest was filed one day too late,
the warrant having been issued June 21
and the protest not filed until July 81
Hr. Wardsworth, as assignee of the ori-
ginal contractor, asks that the protest
be denied, citing the fact that most of
the property owners on the street have
paid their assessments without COM

OLD CITY HALL DESERTED
Police Department Chartered ia the
New Station
Officers and Prisoners Like the Change-Som,
Incidents Of the FIitting-The
First Arrival

The old city hall after nearly nine
years continuous occupation by the po-
lice department, resounds to the tread
of the "coppers' no more. 1t looked
lonely and deserted last evening. In
stead of the electric arc light which
for years illuminated the front of the
building, two oil lamps cast their sickly
CLEAN over the bootblack stand that
was the only sign of life left about the
place.
The work of removal was finished at
a late hour yesterday afternoon, but i.
will take several weeks to get settled
down comfortably in the new quarters.
Much hard work remains to be done in
furnishing the building. Officers are at
work with saw. hammer and plane in
an earnest endeavor to get things
Strengthened out. Furniture lies in
heaps about the place, and it will take
a long while to store all the old lumber
and make the interior of the station pre-
sentable.
The prisoners about sixty in num-
ber, were transferred to the new quar-
ters yesterday evening, and like the
change. The smell of fresh paint is
preferable to the rank odors of the pla ce
they left
The clerks office was moved at D..
M, but it was 8 p. m. before Desk Ser
geant Fowle Sot an opportunity to book
a prisoner in the new station. Mike,
alias Shorty" McQuade had the honor
of being the first arrival. He was sent
in by Officer Reynolds, who found him
sleeping OFF a jag on a First street cellar
door. The ubiquitous John Smith was a
close second, being sent in by Officer
Phillips at Sis p m He, also. is charged
with having looked upon the wine when
it was red.
Sergeant Jeffries took the first watch
out of the new station, as he did from
the old station nine years ago.
Coincident with the occupation of the
new quarters, Sergeant Morton COM
pleted his tenth year of service on the
force.

doctor told about the physical examina-
tlons TO which applicants on the police

introduction of such a system would be
or great benefit in LIS Angeles. On

BURR FOR FOUR YEARS
The Present Sheriff VIII Hold Over for Full
Term

Sheriff John Burr thinks he will have
a four-year term as well as the rest of
the county officials who were elected two
years ago. At first it was thought that
Mr.. Burr would be excluded, owing>>o
the fact that he had been elected by the
board of supervisors to fill a vacancy
he having failed to qualify at the proper
time after his election. The question
was as to whether his selection by the
board of supervisors was for two years
or for the full term of four years.
Mr.. Burr's friends claim that it was
for the full four-year term, and cite a
decision rendered by the supreme court
In Santa Barbara county case involv-
ing the same point. The result was that
the sheriff put in the day shaking hands
with those who were congratulating him
on his good fortune.
