Tho girl who has recently become in

self immensely. endcavoring i'll the

sounding words rolled off her nimblo

COMESFROM THE NORTH
BRYAN WILL SPEAK IN THIS
CITY ONLY
The San Diego Trip Abandoned-A
Public Reception at the
Pavilion

William j. Bryan will enter California
tied. A telegram was received yestr-
day from Chicago which fixed this ques-
ton, which has been so long matter
of doubt. Mr.. Bryan will not speak in
San Diego. The only city in which he
will deliver an address in Southern Cal
ifornia is Los Angeles. The telegram
received yesterday also determines this
point, which has been so long a matter
of conjecture. So if there are any peo
pie in Southern California outside of Los
Angeles who desire to see and hear the
great leader they will be able to do so
by visiting Los Angeles on July 5th
The telegram received yesterday was
as follows:
CHICAGO, June Is. 1891
Sutherland Hutton. Silver Republican
Club Los Angeles:
Bryan enters by north arriving Sunday
afternoon. Abandon San Diego trip. You
will hear from him direct.
NATHAN COLE, JR.
The receipt of this telegram now ena-
bles the club to go ahead and perfect
uelHlle Ou tIlt
of the 5th of July Mr.. Bryan will hold
public reception at Hazards pavilion,
where all desiring can meet with him
and grasp him by the hand.
This will be one of the pleasant fea
lures of his visit and undoubtedly thou
sands will take advantage of it, The fact
that Mr.. Bryan will arrive on Sunday
will probably prevent the reception
committee from meeting him at any
point on the road. Later positive an
nouncement as to this will be made.
The general public can now obtain a
limited number of reserved seats to hear
Mr.. Bryan's address, which he will de-
liver at the Tribunes, at the Silver Re
publican club at 31S West Second street
Seats can be obtained from a. m. to 10
p. m, as headquarters are kept open
during these hours.
Those who have received invita- tions to
attend the banquet and who desire to
be there will confer a favor on the
committee by sending in their ac-
ceptance at once, as ii is the inten-
ton to positively assign the seats at the
ia bles by the 25th instant.

STILL AFTER THE LOTTERIES
Police Officers Continue to Raid Chi

The police are still after the Chinese
lotteries hammer and tongs, and are
determined to wipe them out. YeSter-
day large number of well-known joints
closed up and the proprietors of the
places announced to their customers
that they would do no more business at
least for the time being. There is con-
siderable excitement in Chinatown over
the arrests which have been made and
the work of raising money to defend the
cases is going right along. All property

lotteries have now been notified that

WHY THE CONSTABLEp
The Police Department Not to Serve a
Jury Venire

Henry Edelman, who was arrested a
few days ago for running nickel in the
slot machine, will come up for trial in
Justice Morrison's court today. Judge
Cheney, Edelman's counsel, demanded
that the jury be subpoenaed by the con-
stables office, and not the police. Jus
tice Morrison ordered this to be done.
This seems little unsual as the police
department is paid for doing this work,
and it properly comes within their du-
ties On the other hand, the consta BILE S
office is paid in fees, and the tax payers

It Is Causing the City Deal of
Trouble

The trial of Mrs. Ellen shannon Tor

morning before Justice owens Mrs.
Shannon was on hand early, resplendent
in a neat-fitting silk gown and sumner
of new hat Chief Moore was present
as was also Superintendent of Buildings
Stratton and several other city officials,
for that matter.
The witnesses for the prosecution tes-
titled to how Mre. Shannon had moved
the st. Helena house on Broadway in
open defiance of the instructions of both
the fire chief and the building superin-
tendent, and then. after the house had
been moved. how the foundation had
been built under it at night, with Mrs.
Shannon overseeing the work until the
break of dawn.
Then the defense got a chance to get III
their evidence Mrs. Shannon was the
first witness called. When asked who
owned the property upon which the st.
Helena house Is situated. she replied:
I'm the owner of the property" with
decided emphasis upon the I'm" Then
she continued: Il attend to all the busi
ness. My husband has nothing to do
with these matters"
Then Mrs Shannon told how she had
gone first to one official and then to an
other in order to get permit to move
the house. She had been told that if
she moved it she would have to have the
frame encased with brick wall. AT one
time superintendent Drain had said to
her: IF you move that house without a
permit there will be lightning flying in
every direction"
