BALTIMORE, Nd, Sept. 4.-Jake Kill

wise known as Paddy Slavin, the Aus
tralian, were the principals in a lively box
ing contest which took place at the Eu-
reka Athletic club near this city tonight
When Kilrain stripped he looked to
weigh not less than $50 pounds and the
flesh hung from him in rolls. Slavin. on
the contrary was in the pink of condition.
After a few unimportant blows had been
struck Slavn caught Jake in the ribs and
they clinched. Slavin gave his opponent
short arm blow under the heart, threw
his arms around Kilrain's neck. followed
with a right on the jaw and the one-t me
champion fell like log. His head struck
the floor He tried hard to rise as the
referee began to count, staggered to his
feet as the fatal ten was spoken. but
could not raise his hands and was pro-
nounced 'out" The round lasted but two
minutes and fifteen seconds.

No More Whipping at the State Reform

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 14.-There was an
executive meeting today between Gov
ernor Budd and theWhittier reform school
trustees relative to the abuses in that in
stitution concerning which so much has
been said in the newspapers. Mrs. John

young girls was common thing and that
one of them had been strung up by the
wrists and lashed until she bled.
The governor ordered this stopped and

corporal punishment.

tabby soubrettes concluded the program.
They are an interesting lot of cats. and
they do such marvellous tricks-they are
really one of the brightest features of
the show.
1t is a strong aggregation all the way
through, without any weak points, ana
so many top notch specialties that IT IS
difficult to say which is best. Altogether
1t Is the best program the Orpheum has
given in months, and it ought to crowd

BURBANK THEATER-Last night
at the Burbank Leonard Growers COM
edy drama, The Wolves of New York,
was produced to an audience that filled
the theater. Judging from the shouts
of laughter and tumultuous applause
that greeted the efforts of the players
it made tremendous hit.
The play is bright, snappy and clean.
1t has enough bright lines TO afford
hours of enjoyment and wealth of
incident that would stock half dozen
plays.
Leonard Grover knows the ins and
outs of New York, its vices and follies,
as well as any writer for the stage, and
he has grouped a series of pictures of
metropolitan life that are perfectly
truthful aud realistic. The audience
was worked up to high pitch or ex-
citement by the great striking scenes
and incidents of this stirring drama.
The scenery, painted by the late For
rest Seabury is magnificent; no better
has been seen in Los Angeles. The cur
tain rolls UP on Canadice lake and the
village of Grafton, and SO realistic is
it that one almost, smells the scent or
hay and longs for fishing
rod to snare the finny tribes that un-
Coubtedly dwell in the placid waters
of the lovely lake. The country dances
and straw rides, the singing of old Cor
onation," and Home. Sweet Home"
brought tears to many an eye unused
to flow."

to the great city, and there among it's

city pursue the defenseless people. The

All others are not a circumstance to this

Leonard Grover, jr., as Robin, the hon

ments to the city charter as experience

8 per cent of the registered voters of the
city, or on the vote of municipal con-

a new charter as whole.

MARCH OF TRADE
Valuable Addition to the Business of
South Broadway

The trend of trade OF a solid and sub
stantial kind southwafd on Broadway
is becoming more in evidence every day.
H. o. Haines. who for the past nine
years has conducted on Los Angeles
street so successful a business in car
riages and for two years past in bicycles
also, has leased the store lately occu-
pied by the Overman Wheel company,
No. 421 South Broadway.
BY removing the dividing wall between
this and the branch store, No. 419, which
he opened last January, he has formed
two fine stores, 25x125 feet each in area,
into one large one, comprising two floors,
or a total of 12,500 feet Of floor space.
All the large and carefully selected
stock of carriages, traps and buggies,
harness and robes, as we'll as bicycles,
has now been removed from the Los An
geles street ware rooms, and can be seen
at the handsome South Broadway en-
porium. 1t has been the uniform pol
icy of Mr.. HaineS to deal in only the
highest grade goods in the market, such
as the product Of the Henney Buggy
company of Freeport, I'LL, and of the
Youngstown Buggy Works company
of Youngstown, Ohio. and it is well to
bespeak for him the success in the fu-
ture he has so well earned in the past
In addition to his present large stock
he has now in transitu from the east
q fine assortment of the latest style
traps and spider phaetons. He deals
exclusively in the celebrated Rambler
and Czar bicycles; and to give an idea
of the scope of this branch Of his busi-
ness, it may be mentioned that during

THE MOUNTAIN FIRES
Brought Under Subjection and Most of
the Men Return

The danger of the fires on the west
ern slope of Mount Lowe spreading and
working still greater havoc is aESh end.
Most Of the men sent out by the su-
pervisors returned to the city yester-
day and reported that after very con-
siderable amount of hard work the
fires had been brought under subjec-
ton.
The twenty-five sent from the city
co-operated with the gang of thirty men
sent out by the Pasadena Water COM
pany, and worked night and day until
the fires were controlled. The danger
most feared was that the fire might
creep through the Mount Lowe canyon,
in which case it would have had fresh
fuel to feed upon, and the hotel, ETC.,
would have been threatened. To COM
bat any such contingency, the hardest
work was done on Brown mountain
The two gangs of men worked from op-
posite points until they met, and the
work OF fighting the fire consisted prin-
cipally Of digging trenches and making
back fires" thus fighting the enemy in
kind.
About fifteen men still remain on the
ground as precautionary measure
against any small fires breaking out to-
day or tomorrow. The fire made clean
sweep of the trees and chapparal over a
range Of about twenty-five miles and
did great damage to that particular
part OF the water shed.
