For Currency Reform.

From the New York Mail and Express.
The general conference of commercial
bodies which it is proposed TO assemble
at Indiana polls early next month TO dis
cuss measures of currency reform is an
important and praiseworthy movement. 1t
should, and doubtless will, be able to
render valuable aid in solving a problem
which vitally concerns the business in
tereStS OF the nation.
Arrangements for this conference were
made at 4 preliminary meeting held in In
diauapOlLs on Tuesday. at which nearly all
the great boards of trade. chambers Of
commerce and other important commercial
organizations in the country were repre-
sented. The January gathering. which is to
be known the national monetary con-

resting of such legislation as may be nee
essary to place the currency system upon
a sound and permanent basis" In the dis
cUSsion Of these measures. il is expected.
every one OF the great commercial organi-
cations of the country will be represented.
Assurances already rsceivs.1 render e Ger
tain that the attendance will be very large
and this, together with the character and
position Of the men at the head Of the
movement. is likely 70 make the meeting
one Of the most important assemblages OF
the kind ever held in the United States.
Such a convention, representing and
speaking for the colossal business interests
of the country, must exert a tremendous
Influence in favor OF rational and practical
currency reform. Its recommendations will
be worth more than the platform schemes
Of all the political conventions we have
had in year 1t will discuss the currency
question simply as a business problem TO
be solved by the application of business
methods. and If Ii acCOmplLheS nothing
more than to show the whole matter IS
separate and apart from politics, it will
have rendered an important public service.
The deliberations and conclusions of the
proposed convention should be immensely
valuable to congress in its forthcoming
consideration OF the currency question.
The measures It recommends viii embody

ANTEDATiNG THE NEW YEAR


Chinese Entertainment at the n. E. Mtsslc n
Last Night
The annual entertainment by the Chinese
attendants at the mission of the First Nj.
E. church on Marchessaut street to their
occidental friends came off last night with
much eclat. Representatives of the most
ancient aristocratic families of Canton,
Foochow. Pekin, Shanghai and Annoy
graced the assemblage OF some OF Los An
geles' 400 by their presence, sang songs
for them and refreshed them with those
dainties for which the sex has an irreslsti-
BILE penchant.
Mr.. Chan Kiu Sing, the courteous repor-
ter and interpreter, was master of care-
monies and filled his place fully. His Won
derful accuracy of speech Indicating an
acquaintance with the more subtle niceties
of the English tongue was remarkable,
and his very earnest appeals to his coun-
trymen to abandon their ancient faith was
equally striking.
He said that they held the celebration
! two days in advance of the new year in
order to avoid the noise incident to this
celebration by his hea.hen brethren. Rev:
John b. Wilson, ID. D., paster of the First
Methodist Episcopal church, delivered a
felicitous and encouraging address, and
incidentally remarked that as it had taken
ten years and much money to convert the
first Chinaman, those who followed in his
tracks should make up the loss of labor
and money by becoming missionaries
| themselves, and thus save much future
expense.
Then. under the direction of Chan Kiu
Sing, the Chinamen sang from a large
chart, printed in Chinese, the song, There
is Sunshine in My Heart, pointing to each
word with a long bamboo pole. 1t was
most admirably done.
:. Two little Chinese girls clad in bright
scarlet blouses sang duet, which would
have been encored if it had been possible.
The Rev. Mr.. Mccarthy. who said he had
years, but had been unable to acquire Can
tonese, then spoke of the conversion of a
Mr.. Ming by his efforts. He spoke of n
long journey from Shanghai to Bhamo, in
Burmah, remarking how Hospitality he was
received and how we'll he was fed. and his
appearance in a snuif-colored overcoat
over a semi-cierical dress did not conceal
his obesity. He did not fail to drag in the
ancient yarn that the Chiuaman believes
that Christianity is TO be obtained by swal-
lowing pill.
The venerable DIR. Thompson of the
American Bible society in his inimitably
ad hominem style, spoke for a few mo-
ments on the claims of the Christian faith
upon all, whether Chinese or nominally
Christian. Between the addresses there
was music by the brass quartet composed
of Mr.. and Mrs. +. l.. Olds, Charles Laiyou
and Chan Hong and duet nicely sung by
Mesdames Chan Kiu Sing and S. C. Kan.
Refreshments were most bountifully served
and after song and the benediction the
celebration was at an end. Mrs. NJ. A.
Jameson is in charge of this excellently
planned mission, and to her untiring efforts
in it's behalf, all of its success is due.

SUPREME COURT
Judgment In a Case FIR San Luis OSispo
Affirmed

Judgment In a Case FIR m San Luis OSispo
Affirmed
An opinion by the supreme court dacid.
ing the San Luis Obispo case of john Peter.
son, respondent, vs.. Domingo Machado,
appellant, was received for filing in Los
Angeles yesterday.
In the original case the plaintiff brought
suit for an injunction. He was the owner
of tract of land in San Luis Obispo coun-
ty, which was bounded on it's westerly side
for about 24OO feet by the Sycamore or
Los Osos creek, and was engaged in farm
ing it. The defendant owned two tracts of
land, one adjoining the north side of plain
tiff's land and the other the south side.
In October, 1857, the plaintiff granted a
road and right of way acl oss his land to
Machado. The instrument was executed
by both parties and contained numerous
covenants to be kept by both. About two
years before the commencement of the
action Peterson put pipe in which crossed
the roadway, but was placed under ground
and did not interfere with the use of the
right of way. But in June, 1894, Machado
dug il up and Peterson brough. the suit to
restrain him from interfering with the pipe.
He secured judgment in the superior court
and an appeal was taken therefrom. In
affirming the judgment the supreme court
says that as it promoted justice and does
no wrong to either party it should be af-
flrmed, and so rules.

The Perjury Examination Of G. L. Bryant
Continued Because He Is Sick Happen
ings In the Other Courts

Mrs. Maria Amparo Ballerino proposes
to secure divorce from Bartolo Ballerino
if she can obtain it of the superior courts
of this county. and she thinks that she can
without any difficulty
After having been married to him for
over forty years, she has arrived at the
conclusion that she would like to have the
legal bonds which make him her husband
severed, and she bases her petition upon
the ground that, although at this time 20
years of age, Ba-tclo he's boen guilty OF
adultery.
B. Ballerino is a name that has been
scattered through tho court records Of this
county in various suits for the last thirty
years. He is a rich man, but if you were
to see him you would not know it. He is
frugal to point that borders on parsi-
mony. He owns great deal of property
on Alameda street and portions of it are
leased to women of the halfworld. Two
of his daughters are themselves occupants
of cribs in the district known as little
Paree."
Mr.. Balarino and bis wife were married
in this county in 1855 and have ever since
resided here, During the years that have
passed they have accumulated both prop
erty and children. Ten editions of the
original Ballerinos have come to bless their
union, and still Mrs. Ballerino wants to
quit.
According to her statements, Bartolo
Ballerino is daisy, and it is upon allega-
tions of intldelity to her that she bases her
request for a divorce and her share of the
property.
Living OH Alameda street is a Belgian
woman named Anne, and it is this woman
who is accused by Mrs. Ballerino Of des-
troyipg her domestic peace.
She claims that for several months past
her recreant spouse has been living in al
most open defiance of hor rights. Some of
the children are still not of age and Mrs.
Ballerino wants TO be appointed their
guardian. She also wants receiver ap-
pointed for the property and any further
relief that the court thinks will fit the case.
