A miniature stage occupied the door

Many beautiful portraits were thus ON

sented. After the entertainmenta Span

brilliantly decorated in the Spanish col
ors, red and yellow. and presented pic
turesque appearance.
Later in the evening an express box
arrived containing a package for each
guest Upon opening the packages
there was revealed a collection of toys
and characteristic articles upon each
of which the guests composed a rhyme
suited to the character of the article.
Much amusement was the result of the
poetic frenzy.

IT should not be forgotten tnat al
that time MAY. 1881 Georgia Ben stIess
was SS2 feet in length, while NeVdua
street was more than 5000 feet In length.
He also has considerable to say ABOUT
his having opened five streets IN pen
addition, which he gave to the cl,y.
1t is a fact that can be readily SHOWN
by the records that many more than nVe
streets were laid out and given 10 tne
city by the owners of property trontihs
on Nevada street.

CHAS. FORMAN.
General Forman explained tnat ne nau
no personal feeling against MAJOR Dell
and stated that in the matter OF cnang-
ing the name of De Long street from
Virginia he had recently ascertained
that it was done by City Engineer DOCK
weller. and was in honor of the Arctic
explorer.
Mr. Lummis had suggested the change
of Georgia Bell to Nevada street
Both Mr.. Dockweiler and Mr.. Lummis
corroborated General Forman's state
ments.
Major Bell promptly informed MI
Dockweler that he had been guilty OF a
very small piece of business, ana theh
renewed his attack on General Forman
saving that he was trying to cast re .
Election on him. The major intimate1
that General Forman, or at least mem
bers of his family. had canvassed the
neighhorhood in the interest of the
change.

ifiedly false" hotly retorted General

TO an assault, and I should resent them.
But here in Los Angeles, with such re-
marks coming from police commits

major. Major Bell then continued his
remarks, insisting that any change
Whatsoever would be a reflection, and he
protested against what he said was in
Justice against him. On being asked if
he would consent to having the sire IT
called either Bell or Georgia street, the
major hotly protested, saying that he
would not that he might do so If he was
a dog. but he was an American citizen.
The street was named in honor of his
wife, and he would never consent to a
ing on the street preferred Georgia Bell,
and that no one outside of what he called
"Mr. Forman's COW pasture" favored
the name Nevada.
Finally the whole matter was referred
to the council and, in the meantime. the
sentiment of the people will be ascer
tanned.
Mr.. Lummis then explained the mean
ing of the Spanish names given to GER
tain streets, and gave the reasons Of
the commission for their action. In DEF
erence to the majors recommendations,
the following names were changed:
Alcantara to Taylor street; Manuella
to Pomona street; Eugarde to Ontario
street; Escalon to Dara street; Chicote
to Webster street, and Saragossa to
Rossini street.

important changes. and the amended

municate at once with his father.

color in a background of smilax.
The broad staircase was lined with
potted plants and all the pretty rooms
on the second floor were daintily deco

tables We're arranged around the rooms
and in one corner a screen of potted
plants hid the musicians who oiscoursed

A shaking up of the corps Of hull in
spectors in the bureau Of steamboat in
spection service in the treasury depart
ment is imminent. This branch was
taken under the aegis of the civil service
law just before President Cleveland re-
tired from Office, and the requirements
for subsequent appointment, as fixed by
the commissioner, are very strict.
1t has been charged that many of the
Democratic incumbents were appointed
because of the value of their political
services, rather than their professional
attainments and ability.
These allegations have been Investigate
ed by Assistant Secretary Vanderlip. and
Secretary Gage will issue orders in u
few days requiring forty or fifty of the
hull inspectors to show cause why they
should not be subjected to an examina-
ton, similar to that required of appl-
eants for appointments. 1t is presumed
that sufficient cause will be shown when
the inspectors cited pass the examination.

Constantinople, Nov. 20.--The officials

pointing out that in times of difficulty
Russia abstained from urging the pay
ment Of the war debt due her by Turkey.
but now that the government Of Turkey
has decided upon fresh arguments which
are not warranted by the present situa-

arrears on the same grounds that Aus

to the Oriental railroad, an Austrian cor
poratiolH. for transporting Turkish troops
during the recent war with Greece.

Uruguay.

Montevideo, Uruguay, Nov. 20.-It is
rumored-and the rumor can be easily
traced to high sources-that the Presi-
dent ad interim, Senior Ceustas, intends
to establish a dictatorship. He has tax
en- upon himself extra ordinary powers to
prevent a rebellion, and Montevideo Is
practically under martial law.
Under the Presidents orders troops
haYe occupied all the strategic points
around the block in which is situated the
home Of Senior Julio Herrera, and Senior
Herrera is prisoner. He is Senior Cues
tas' principal opponent in the race for
President and it is believed he is at the
head of the movement which has for its
purpose the overthrow of Cuestas by
force. 1t is to prevent such a movement
that President Cuestas has taken radical
steps.
Senior Cuestas was formerly president
of the Senate and when President Bon
da was assassinated took the presidency
ad interim.

The revelations made by Mello are
highly important. He gives names of

DURRANT ATTORNEY GONE.
No Trace Of George Tubb, Interested in
the Condemned Mans Case.

San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 20-Posibly
the Durrant case has led to a dark trag-
edy. That is the belief OF Rev. William
III. Tubb. father of Attorney George
Tubb, who has been helping make the
fight to save the murderer. Tubb has
been missing since last June and the
thorough search of his family has failed
to find single trace of him. Now it is
believed foul play has ended his life.
Tubb took great interest in the Dur
rant case, not only the legal end, but fol-
lowing up clues personally.
The father of the missing man has this
to say: ''There are more strange things
in that case than you have the slightest
conception of, and it may have been to
someone's advantage to get my son out
of the way.
con Monday evening last I went to
see the Durrant family, but found them
like myself, unable to account for his abb
sence"
Mr.. and Mrs. Durrant share the belief
of the father that Tubb has met a vio-
lent DEATH
