Il Was Very Generally Observed
in the City
BUSINESS HOUSES CLOSED
Union Services Held at Several Of the
Churches
Elaborate and Striking Floral Decora-
tions-Special Dinners at the Vari-
Gus Charitable Institutions.

Thanksgiving day was very generally
observed in Los Angeles. During the
forenoon some of the stores were open,
but at noon almose every place of busi-
ness was closed, and the streets were
practically deserted. Services were held
at number Of the churches, which were
largely attended.
Owing to the chilly weather the at
tendance at Athletic park was light,
the warm f1resides having more attrac-
tion for those who had leisure than the
breezy grand stand.
At the various charitable institutions,
as we'll as the county and city jails, spe-
oial Thanksgiving dinners had been
provided for the inmates.

STOCK EXCHANGE WAR scAnEs.

The discovery that the recent Spanish
war scare was started by stock gam

spectators as a dangerous class. The
worst feature of the exposure is that
local agents Of the Cuban revolutionary
party have been shown to have partici-
pated in the profits of the furry In the
stock market caused by the manufac-

the transaction of greatest danger to

GETTING AT THE TRUSTS.

There are combinations and trusts
that can be reached to a certain extent
by our tariff legislation. If all pro

moved from steel and other articles
where trusts control the trusts would,
to certain extent at least, be weak

the school book trust, which flourish re-

What think the white citizens of
this action. A white female is taken

formed, viii require her to do what

The sentiment of the entire Afro

NARY BARNES AND A NEW TRIAL

VIZ cannot conceive why anyone
should be 90 unjust and cruel as TO
send such an absurd and unreasonable
query to any Journal a. appeared in |
the Richmond, Va. DIsPAvCH OF the

y IfPokey Barnes and Mary Aberna-
thy are turned loose after numbering
Mrs. Pollard, what right has the State
20 keep Mary Barnes In PRISON. She is
no more guilty than they are. Please
answer tha-ebove and oblige.

To this the DISPATCH makes the fol-
lowing reply:
Mary Barnes has never applied for
new trial. She seems to be satisfied
with the punishment given her. She
makes no complaint. The case OF
fMsry-Abernsthy 10 Jet pending.
Both the question and the answer is
misleading. The latter as much so as
the former.
NARY BARNEs, through counsel did
apply for a new trial, but the applica-
ton had to be Withdrawn to save her
life.
II writ OF error and supersedeas
had been granted. she would have i'm

OF Lunenburg and there was no way to
have herSeoDfiued with the other pri-
soners who were in the Richmond jail
save by order of Judge ORGANS who
could not be relied upon to take any
such step. ar
To have returned her to Lunenburt
county at that time was to send hel
