THE BOTANICAL GARDENS

The Society Corresponding With Foreign
Institutions-Seeds Received
The recent warm and abundant rains
make it possible to push the work of the
society which now has a botanical collec-
tor in the field gathering native plants, and
soon the beautiful blossoms of the Matillaja
or Romneya, the golden blooms of the Dem
dromecon and the Fremontia may be seen
in cultiva ton. Plans are arranged for the
construction of 500 feet of trellsing, on
which it is intended to make display of
climbin plants, many of which are quite
unknow n in our gardens. Already the So
ciety has established a correspondence
with some of the foreign botanical gardens
and has received collection of palm and
tree seeds from Buenos Ayers, notably
seeds of the 'Machserium tipa," one of the
most useful of Argentine trees. also "a col
lection from the botanical gardens of Dur
ban, Natal, South Africa.
Persons living on country estates on
which wild plants of mimuus viscous,
penstemons, delphinium cardinale or scar
let larkspur are growing, and who would
like to contribute number to the socety's
garden in Elysian park, are requested to
correspond with the secretary. j. William
Walters, Los Angeles. These native
species are very snowy and effective in
masses, besides being useful for the pur-
poses of budding botanists.

When Municipal Retrcnchment
Goes Into Effect
THE ORDINANCES SIGNE
The Mayor Took No Chances With
the Push
john Drsin Says That II Howard Is to Be
His Boss He viii Resign-coIonel
Deckman Is Affected

The mayor signed all of the various re.
trenchment ordinances bright and early
yesterday morning and they will all of
them at once be printed. The economy in
tended takes effect February LIST. The
reason for the apparent haste in the matter
has been that the mayor did not care to be
worried and haggled out of several years
of his life by the employees and heads of
departments which are to be effected.
Hence he wiped the score off the slate at
the earliest possible moment.
The most disguised man in the city hail
is John Drain, the superintendent Of street
sprnkling who, under the order of new
things, is to be also the inspector of street
sweeping, being in the latter capacity an
employee of the superintendent of streets,
with whose head Drain is not now. and has
not been for some time, upon the best of
terms. He says that he will resign rather
than follow out the lines laid down by the
finance committees report.
The only health inspector who is to be
dropped, will be very much needed, the
fact being that the board of health only
recently asked of the council that the pres
ent force of inspectors be increased as at
least one man is needed for every one of
the nine wards of the city. With the cut
in effect, there will be but two inspectors.
Among the water overseer's force who
were struck by the un!ucky lightning, was
Colonel Michael DecKman, whose title will
after February l, be ex-deputy zanjero. ~
OF the $4,000 monthly saving which the
new order of things is expected to make IN
the cash fund. the street superintendent's
office will alone have the sum of S2574 TO
its credit. The tax collector loses one
deputy at $50, the treasurer deputy at
$50 the superintendent of buildings dep
uty at 500 and the water overseer three
deputies at total salary of 1929 II month,
leaving the force of the latter official with
two men.
The saving in the street department will
be one man S2.5 day. four men at 50
and ten men at $3.50, and teams and
drivers at $24.50. twenty men at $40,
making total of 500 day and throwing
forty-two men out of employment.

IN THE POLICE COURTS
Some of the Cases That Were Acted Upon
Yesterday

Some of the Cases That Were Acted Upon
Yesterday
Il. Harrington is not a burglar after all.
On the night of the 18th he got hilarious
and about midnight found himself at the
corner of San Fernando and Elmyra streets
minus any liquor and with the pangs of a
terrible and irresistible thirst coming in
his throat. Now as necessity happens to
be the mother of invention with drunken
people as well as with those in a sober
state, Harrington looked around to try and
relieve his suffering. He discovered it in
the form of saloon window containing a
quantity of bottles of wine that was red
and tempting. Forthwith Harrington
smashed pane of glass and took posses
sion of a bottle. Before he could enjoy his
lily gotten gains Special Officer Conlee ar
rived and sent him to the police station
where he was booked for burglary.
The officers looked into the case and
learned that two others had been concerned
in the theft with Harrington and as TO-
suit arrested Jack Boyle and Billie Brown.
Yesterday the trio had their trials before
Justice Owens. The complaint of burglary
against Harrington was dismissed and he
was allowed to plead guilty to malicious
mischief and fined $40 which he promptly
paid. The others pleaded guilty too and
were fined similar amounts. Boyle paid
his assessment but Brown did not happen
to have the cash about his clothes and at
last accounts was enjoying the benefit of
his alternative of staying ten days in jail.
The charge of battery against Louisa
Smeets was dismissed and new COM
plant for disturbing the peace sworn to
by Deputy Constable Bosqui. Louisa is
the female who scratched the face of Mr..
Bosqui several weeks ago in the fight over
some of the fences on Alameda street.

born in blackuess, wLirlwind and sor-
row." He thought it had probably no
chance Of beiug liked by any existing

achieved popularity. Mill described it
in this Review as zone Of those works
of genius which are above all rules, and
are a law to Themselves" while Kings

Of the game is which shall see the other

there are three or -four one always he
mains outside the cushions to seek, and
by degrees the little pink messed white

is surprised by a tap. II she he on the
alert, the hider sometimes vanishes, and
sometimes they try which can get with
in the others guard and give the first
whack.
Miss was particularly fond Of hide
and seek, and established a mode Of
playing it with us while we were at
dinner. She would hide on the window
sill behind the long winter curtains
which are dropped IN the evening, aud
would peep out AZ one side or hatvr1n
