THE POLITE WORLD

The marriage of Miss Milly Kurtz.
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Joseph Kurtz,
and Rufus Landon Horton occurred yes
terday at 6 p. m. at the brides home
on Buena Vista street The affair. al
though a very quiet one, was exceeding
ly pretty, and has been looked forward
to with the greatest interest by society
people. owing to the high social stand
ing Of the contracting parties and the
prominence of the brides family, they
having resided in Los Angeles for many
years. The bride, a striking blonde.
never looked better than yesterday even
ing, when, attired in her handsome bri-
dal gown of cream satin, the heavy folds
of the skirt fell into graceful demi-
train. The bodice was of white chiffon
with narrow honiton insertion. A high
ripple collar finished the neck. The
sleeves were bouffant to the elbow and
ended at the wrist in mousquetaire
style. The gown was elegant in its SIM
plicity. White carnations and sweet
peas formed the bouquet. A beautiful
arch composed of foliage and white
roses was erected in the folding doorway
of the drawing room. From either side
and extending almost entirely around
the room were plants draped over the
arch, and making a pretty background
were dainty white draperies. and a
charming finish to the whole was true
lovers knot of white carnations and
ferns. The young couple stood under
the arch during the ceremony. which
was performed by the Rev. Tayler OF
st. Johns Episcopal church About the
room We're a profusion of white bios
SONS artistically arranged. The dining
room. where a tempting repast was
served, was also in white and green IN
the center of the table was large bowl
holding white carnations. This reposed
on a round fiat mirror. and scattered over
the table were the same flowers. White
satin ribbons pendent from the chande-
lier and terminating in large bows on
the table completed the decorations. Mr..
and Mrs. Horton left last night for San
Francisco, and on their return to Los
Angeles will reside at their new home,
351 Alvarado street, and will be at home
on Fridays after September 1st. The
brides going-away GOWN was of dark
grey cloth. tailor made. A very modish
hat to correspond finished the stylish
toilet.

GRAND JURIES

The grand jury is a committee OF the
people to look into the public business
and into the whole state of society. The
grand jury is the only official means the
people have of exposing waste or rob-
berry In the public business and of curb
ing abuses perpetrated by those serv-
ing the public, as in the case of violations
of law and justice by common carriers
or other holders of public franchises.
It is the only means the people have of
reviewing, checking and correcting
their officers. The grand jury is a very
important feature of popular govern
ment and should extend its sphere of ac-
tion so as to unearth and end all public
abuses.
There are several defects about
the present grand jury system which
should be remedied without delay. A
change is needed in the method of draw
dng. The names selected and put in the
box by each judge should be published.
Then the people could tell who to praise
for a list Of strong and publicspirited
citizens, and who to blame for the nam
ing of political heelers or tools of inter-
ests, seeking to prevent investigation.
The judges should exercise a close super
vision over the details of drawing the
names from the box. With these two
points guarded, there would be little fear
Of influence being used to get names into
the box or of preventing the names of
incorruptible and courageous citizens
from being drawn out
The next reform needed is the aboli-
ton of the secrecy which now attends
o,,1 of bo n
jury. Now, that our criminal informa-
tions free the grand jury from the con-
sideration of ordinary crime, secrecy is
q hurt and no service to that body or to
the public. All public business brought
before the grand jury should be open and
not secret. Private matters might be left
to the discretion of the jury. All politi-
cal Investigations or those involving
large interests brought before the grand
Jury are now, in fact, known as to each
witness and each step taken by the par
ties interested, but not by the public.
All the force of personal, political or
other influence is today brought 10 pre-
vent complete investigation in political
and corporate matters, and to prevent
indictments from being found. Thus the
weak men in the nineteen jurors are un-
der constant pressure to ignore crime
and abuse in high places.
With publicity, this pressure would
be counteracted by the support of public
opinion. Things evil exist in the dark
Ind under cover of secrecy that could
hot and cannot exist in the full light OF
publicity.

AT THE THEATERS

THE ORPHEUM.-This weeks bill at
the Orpheum is a feast of good things.
Sissieretta Jones, the Black Patti, has
met with a most enthusiastic reception
from the music-loving people of the city,
who return again and again to listen
to her voice. The Stewart sisters have
made change of act. They will no long
er appear in the Bowery Boy skit, but in
a delightful melange of sparkling re-
partee and tuneful music.
Papinta's new dance is a marvel of ar
tistic ideas. The color effects are glo-
riously beautiful. This is the last week
of her stay. The vitascope. too, will
remain in the city only until Sunday
night next.

NOR, with lots of fresh jokes, and is prov.
ing himself favorite. Bimbo and Tehi

superintendent 1t has enabled the au-
ditor to cut down the estimated cost of
that office over 81, 1,000, 900. A grand jury
here some time ago forced an inventory
of the road property and tools on the
supervisors, when before they had no
record at all of what road property the
county owned or where any of it was.
The same grand jury introduced book
keeping and a record into the Los An
geles street superintendents Office,
where at the time, and with an expendi-
ture of $290,000, there was no day book,
no ledger and absolutely no record or
any kind. The surprise in that case was
that the embezzlement found was only
s5200. These are the true lines for grand
juries to follow and enlarge on. If they
only publish to the people the entire
truth about the public service, we will
be insured against long-continued and
gross wrong.
The law calls for two grand juries
every year in this county. There should
be two, as the law provides. Then the
term of each could be made short and
grand Jury duty would not be arduous.
With our grand juries drawn year and
u,
public accounts takes up much time, and
other quite as important work is ne
elected. Such matters as the bonds of
outlying school districts. public con-
struction and supplies, for instance.
have never been given proper attention.
No investigation of the affairs of the
municipalities outside of Los Angeles
city has ever been had. No corporate
abuse and avoidance of fair and equal
service to all has ever been looked into
in this county, and many another wrong
continues because not exposed. An in
vestigation of the Southern Paciic's po-
litical and business methods would make
powerfully interesting reading. The
six Republican superior judges control
the calling of the grand juries in this
county The law, which these gentlemen
are sworn to support, says that we are
to have two grand juries a year. In that
polite and respectful manner due to a
public officer who can clap you into one
of our jails for what he construes to be
contempt, the inquiry is made, Why do
we not have two grand juries a year
Is the letter of the law so important to
judges in some cases to become so worth
less in others? Certainly the county
business has never been examined COM
.pletely yet. Only recently grand jury
found a large embezzlement of public
funds in the county clerks office of long
standing. There has been no public re-
quest to stop grand jury work. 1t is
hard to understand why our six Republi-
can judges seem so shy of having our Re
publican city and county administration
carefully and frequently looked into
Perhaps a few Democratic judges would
help in the more frequent calling of
grand juries, as the law very plainly pro-
vides for. Whatever laches there are.
whatever violation of duty there is in
calling grand juries in this county
is chargeable to the superior court
judges, and to no one else.

The San Francisco Chronicle with
that kind of exactness which so fire.
Quently distinguishes Republican or

vice presidential nominee. as follows:
Arthur Sewall of Maine, who aspired
to the Democratic e-presidential nom-
ination, is the young man whom Cleve-
land removed during his first term from
the consul -generalship at Apia, and
whom Harrison reinstated at the in
stance of Blaine. He is one of the fore
most opponents of Cleveland in the New
England Democracy. and took the
trouble, during the Hawaiian imbroglio
of 1898. TO go to the islands and, in series
of brilliant newspaper letters, to sustain
the course of United States Minister
Stephens.
The serious fault with this little bio
graphical gem is that it relates to the
wrong Sewall. Arthur Sewall was never
consul-general to Apia, and consequent
ly was not removed by Cleveland and
reinstated by Harrison. Harold NJ Sew

Hearken to these notes from j. r. Sow
ereign, general master workman of the
Knights,of Labor and one of the admit
ted leaders of the wage earners of the
country:
Mckinley may have shown wisdom
in selecting Mark Hanna as his manager.
but by so doing he has gained the bitter
opposition of organized labor in every
state of the union.
Hanna has always been vindictive
foe to organized labor He is an indus
trial cannibal He has crushed union
after union among his thousands of en-
ployes, and taken delight in doing So.
He is worse than Carnegie.
I'm case of McKinley's election Hanna
would be the real president.
"While labor organizations may have
their little differences, they come to-
gether as a unit when an attack is to be
made on a common foe"
And If Mckinley is elected the hand of
Hanna will guide every man of the ad-
ministration.
