HoLLENBECK HOME
Interesting Anniversary Exercises
Monday Evening

A large and appreciative audience
gathered Monday evening to enjoy the
anniversary exercises Of the opening of
the Hollenbeck Home. In the absence
of Mrs. Hollenheck, Mr. Hanna, her
agent, took charge of the exercises, which
were held in the spacious dining hall.
All the rooms were decorated, and the
evening was greatly enjoyed.
Prof G. w. Simonton gave a very
pleasant outline of the beginnings of the
home, relating some of the incidents
in the lives of Mr.. and Mrs. Hollenbeck
that led up to the realiza tion of their
plans in the beautiful structure erected
by Mrs. Hollenbeck.
Mr.. Hanna gave the following facts,
showing the work of the home for the
first year Of it's existence: Out of many
applications forty-six names have been
enrolled as members of the home, twelve
men an thirtyfour women. These are
of many ationalities-eight from Eng
land, five from Scotland, one
from Ireland. three from Germany,
one from Austria, one from Hol-
land, one from Peru, S. A.. and twenty
eight from the United States, as fol-
lows: Eleven from New York. four from
Massachusetts, four from Ohio, three
from Maine, two from New Hampshire
one from Connecticut and one from
each Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Illi-
nols. Their average age on entrance
was 6S 2-3 years. The oldest male mem
Der in the home is now SS years old and
over, the youngest man about GA years,
The Oldest woman is over so years the
youngest about 81 years. OF the forty
six admitted, three chose to leave and
two have died, leaving forty-one in the
home. Three more have been accepted
and may be in the home any day.

MUSIC AND PICTURES
A Free Entertainment at Turner Hall
Last Night

Every seat in Turner hall was occu-
pied last night, upstairs and down, and
people were standing besides, for the
free entertainment given by the Great
American Concert and Stereopticon
Co." under the direction of J. H. Tigner.
This is the third visit the company has
made to Los Angeles and the program
was made up as the name implies, of
music and pictures.
A male quartet provided the music
with which the program opened, and
closed, and solos. duets and quartets of
popular songs gave great pleasure to the
audience. The rest of the progrom was
made up of a large number of stereopti-
con views, representing industries, man
ufactures and business firms in Cali
fornia and elsewhere, the merits of
whose goods Mr.. Tigner explained and
expatiated upon in very convincing
manner.
There will be another entertainment
tonight in the same hall and by the same
company, when other pictures will be
shown and the program changed from
that of last night. The pictures are ali
clear, some of them are colored and all
are pretty, and when Mr.. Tigner shows
one after another Of inviting looking
cottages and tells about certain build
ing and loan association through whose
agency and upon whose terms a home
Is within the reach of anybody, it seems
very clear and inviting business prop
osition.

MORE BOLD BURGLARS
THEY CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN
THE CITY
Which Shows That They Have Not
All Been Captured-Two Houses
Looted for Plunder

| Despite the numerous captures o!
burglars made by the police and detect
ives within the past few days, the burg
| ling goes merrily on. Reports of houses
which have been broken into and thefts
committed continue to be of almost daily
occurrence. On last Sunday two houses
were looted and valuable lot Of plum
der made away with.
The home of S. V. Landt, 2131 Estrella
avenue, was entered between the hours
of and $3.50 o'clock Sunday evening,
during the absence of the family and
many valuable articles of jewelry and
wearing apparel were stolen. When
Miss Landt and her brother arrived home
in the evening they found scene OF
confusion awaiting them. In the middle
Of the floor in Miss Landt's room was
heaped promiscuous lot of stuff whic n
the robbers had not cared to take. The
bureau drawers had been ransacked OF
their contents and turned upside down
on the floor, and everything had been
taken from the closet The most valua-
bic articles were missing and others had
gone to swell the heap on the floor AL
and SO had her silken garments. On
going through the house is was found
that all the jewelry belonging to the
two gentlemen in the house had alsa
been stolen including among other
things handsome gold watch and chain
ard several valuable rings, to say moth
ing of gold stick and scarf pins and the
like
While there can be no doubt that the
house was thoroughly gone through, no
silverware was taken A panel in the
back door had been cut out by the thief,
evidently in the hope of finding the key
in the door, but it was not there. The
burglar then turned to the window.
Boxes were piled up in order to reach
it. and then both entrance and exit had
been effected that way.
From the articles taken the Landts
have a suspicion that the thief was a
woman.
The same afternoon between the hours
of and 4 o'clock the home of Otis E.
Tiffany, at 1876 West Eleventh street,
was entered by thieves and looted. Some
of the neighbors saw two men enter the
premises but supposed they were there
on business One Of the men stayed in
the front yard and kept watch, while
the other Gid the work inside. The
thieves overlooked a quantity of silver
ware which was in plain sight and went
10 Mrs. Tiffany's room, where they
helped themselves to three brocaded silk
gowns, a sealskin robe, three silk waists
and a couple Of fur wraps. They drew
out the bureau drawers and made away
with such of their centents as were of
silken materials, including underwear
and lace trimmed garments. A draft on
the table for large sum was left un-
touched, but what money was found
in the house was taken. A good descr1p-
tion of the men has been furnished to tbs
police.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Monthly Review Of
Trade Conditions in Southern California

r. G. Dun & Co.'S Monthly Review of
Trade Conditions in Southern California
says:
| Volume of business, measured by
actual payments through clearin g
houses, shows large gain, not only over
corresponding month of last year. but
also over 49, Telegraphic reports from
all parts of the country show both stock
and produce markets still tending up
wards. The greatest gain is for agri-
cultural products. A large increasing
| demand is apparent in all the great in
| dustries. Manufacturers are rapidly
| increasing the output and prices gen.
orally are expanding. The signs OF
prosperity are now too many and too
empahtic to be longer denied by the
| most pessimistic.
Our immediate district, while sharing
in the advantage of the great advance
in wheat and other cereals, is just now
particularly interested in the dried
fruit market. Owing to light eastern
crops, an unusually heavy European de-
mand and the increased prosperity
throughout the United States. the out
look for the grower is brighter than for
years past There is an active and ris-
ing market in all lines, even apricots.
which are in larger supply than for
several years past. are steady.
The estimate of raisin crop is 5000 TO
34O0 carloads, about $50 carloads more
than last year. Some good grades have
brought three cents in sweat box. There
are plenty of buyers but few are being
sold. There is heavy crop in Spain
this year and we have a 600 carload
legacy left from last years marketing.
The Spanish can save enough in labor
and freight to overcome our one cent
duty. 1t might be we'll for growers who
are disposed to hold both nuts and
fruit not to overestimate the tariff ef-
feet.
Canneres are working full time, in
some instances day and night. and pay
ing good prices for green products.
Crop of almonds fairly good. Wal
nut crop about two-thirds of that of last
year. Prices will rule probably trif1e
higher Honey as yet has not shared in
the general advance.
All fears growing out of the fact that
there was an unusual falling of fruit
when oranges were in formative state
have subsidized and there is general sat-
isfaction over prospects Of the coming
crop.
The close of the beet harvest this
year will probably be little delayed,
the acreage is heavy but the yield is be-
low normal and the sugar percentage at
Chino is reported disappointing.
Money is easy and interest charges
lower. Collections improving. Business
locally is having the usual touch of mid
summer dullness.
The mining and petroleum industries
of this section still continue to expand.
Signs are in evidence now that pros
perity begins to shake the tree of plen-
ty that Southern California has a posi-
tion Of advantage under the branches.

A JEALOUS WOMAN
Tries to Commit Suicide by Swallow.
ing Carbolic Acid

Crazed by jealousy dissolute colored
wench who is an inmate of a notorious
Buena Vista street house, attempted to
commit suicide last night by drinking
carbolic acid. The woman's name is
Millie McClaren and she has been living
with man named Lawrence Dickson
also colored. Last night when her
lover came to see her Millie complained
Of his Inconsistency and accused him of
consorting with another woman. She
said only few words and then seized a
bottle from the stand near her con tain
ing carbolic acid and began to drink the
contents. AS soon as she put the bot
tie to her lips the man at her side
grabbed it and held it away from her.
Enough of the poison had got into her
mouth and down her throat, however,
to throw the woman into spasms OF
agony. Dickson hurried out and called
to Special Patrolman Maxim, who
telephoned for the patrol wagon. The
woman was taken to the receiving hos
pital, where DR.. Hagan administered
emetics and successfully applied the
stomach pump. She was badly burned
about the mouth and throat, but was
soon out of danger

ToMoRRoW's BICYCLE RACES
An Insinuation Vigorously Denied.
The Meets Promoters

The charge preferred by some men,
bers of the executive committee having
in charge the Native Sons celebration
on Admission day, that those interested
in the Admission day bicycle tourna-
ment have been obtaining prizes by rep
resenting themselves as connected with
the Native Sons organization is most
vigorously denied by the wheelmen.
S. G. Spier, manager of the race meet,
stated last night that in soliciting fo-
prizes for the races, no representation
had been made to any person that the
donation was to be used for any other
purpose than to be awarded to place
winners in the bicycle races
"One donation came to use which we
afterward learned was intended for the
Native Sons day at Catalina. and we
promptly returned it," said Mr.. Spier.
THE races are under the auspices of the
East Side club, the Associated Cycle
dealers, the Main Street Railway COM
pany and the Agricultural Park asso-
citation. Nearly all the leading business
houses have given us prizes. Some If
them have contributed to the free e-for-a'l
which will be run after the other races,
in which any person may enter. 1t will
be comic race and the prizes will De
numerous. For example: One house gave
US pair of corsets and another pair of
lady's shoes. We have arranged this
matter openly and have in. no way en-
croached upon the Native Sons rights or
endeavored to hurt their celebration"
Tonight the wheelmen of the city will
have parade for the purpose of attract
ing attention to their meet at Agricui-
tural park tomorrow. The column will
start from the Los Angeles Athletic
club house at 7:30 o'clock and follow the
following line of march: Up Spring to
Plaza, down Main to Seventh, thence
to Broadway, to First, to Main, to Tem-
pie and thence on Spring street to the
starting point. Prizes will be awarded
for the club having the largest number
in line and for the best decorated single
wheel and tandem

WAS DEAD EASY
A Mining Man Plays Joke on a
Popular Hotel Clerk

A tomato can filled with dirt is locked
up in the safe at the Hollenbeck hotel
alongside of more valuable minerals, and
Cave ]. Coutts, the well-known mining
man from San Diego is still laughing
over the way he got out Of paying a
hotel bill. 1t all came about this way.
For some weeks past Dan Lyons, the
genial clerk at the Hollenbeck, has been
suffering from an acute attack Of Klon-
dixie fever. He has kept posted on all
the latest news from the mining camp
in the far north and frequently ex-
presses a willingness to hazard the
hardIships Of the trip himself If anyone
happens to turn up who Is ready to
grub stake him with fifteen or twenty
thousand dollars to start on. In return
for this assistance Lyons is willing to
divide up all over five million dollars Of
the gold which he digs out
He was enthusiastically expressing
his views on the Klondike mining camp
few nights ago to some well-known
local mining men, among whom were
Cave ]. Coutts and j. E. O'Brien of San
Diego. when Coutts remarked:
well now you've done good deal of
talking about gold and I don't believe
that you know good gold when you see
it,
well that's just where you're off, -
answered Lyons. Coutts went to his
valise and opening it brought back a
tomato can filled with gravel.
Here's some concentrate from our
mine. Is it good?" asked Coutts, set
ting the can down upon the counter.
The hotel clerk picked up the gravel
and examined 1t closely. Particles of
gold could be seen. sparkling all through
it and the stuff had the appearance of
being very rich Finally when he had
completed his examination Lyons said,
yes. that's valuable ore."
well I thought you didn't know
what you were talking about" said
Coutts. Its no good"
Don't you suppose I know gold when
see it?" asked the hotel clerk.
"Well I'll tell you what I'll do"
Coutts continued, I'll leave that can of
ore to pay my hotel bill"
Lyons was immensely tickled at this
proposition. Now he had his man
bluffing and he would just take him
up and make him crawfish. "All right"
he said, "I'll agree to that"
Coutts handed over the can and Lyons
feeling that he had got hold of good
bargain locked 1t up carefully in the
safe. The hotel bill amounted to only
IS and surely the concentrate from the
mine was worth SO pound and there
were about three pounds Of the stuff
The clerk could not help noticing that
the other mining men smiled knowingly
as the bargain closed, but he supposed
that this simply meant that he had got
hold of good thing by calling Coutts
bluff
Yesterday at the earliest opportunity
he took the concentrate out to have i.
assayed and was astonishedi to find that
the can full of gravel contained only a
few cents worth Of gold and that it would
cost all the gold is worth to have the
precious metal extracted.
When he saw how he had been tricked
he decided to say nothing more about his
knowledge OF mines and mining for
