1t is proposed by several merchants
to illuminate their places of business in
a most attractive and novel manner
during Fiesta week. The plan, as out
lined, is that two merchants whose
stores are opposite each other shall span
the street with an electric arch, upon
which their names stand out in most
brilliant manner. If this idea is gener
ally adopted on the main thoroughfares
the effect will not only be highly ar
tistic but will be a splendid advertise
ment for the wide-awake merchants.

A MATTER OF REGRET
Mr. Scholl's Suit Against The Herald.
Executive Committees Resolution

Amelian Scholl yesterday filed COM
plaint in the United States district
court against The Herald Publishing
company for $4,000 damages alleged 70
have been sustained through the pub
lication of a copy of a photograph of
Miss Francisco Alexander the coming
Fiesta queen, which, it is claimed, had
been copyrighted.
THE COMMITTEE REGRETS.
At a meeting of the executive COM
mittee of La Fiesta held yesterday after
neon the following resolution was unan-
imously adopted:
THE executive committee of La
Fiesta learns with extreme regret that
Mr.. Scholl, the photographer, who has
copyrighted a photograph of the queen
of La Fiesta, has brought suit for
damages against the Los Angeles Her
aid for publication of the portrait of
the queen in it's edition of Monday,
March 22d without giving Mr.. Scholl
credit for the same. Inasmuch as the
publication was made for the benefit of
the public, without any possible view
Of damaging the photographer, and in
inasmuch as The Herald in its next ISSUE
rectified the mistake and published the
fact that the photograph was copyright
ed by Mr. Scholl, the committee depre
Gates his action and deems it unwise
and injudicious"
THE QUEENS CHAGRIN.
Miss Francisco Alexander is not un-
naturally chagrined that her first intro
duction to the public as the queen of La
Fiesta should have caused any unpieas
artness. Her majesty very deeply dep
recates the unfortunate affair Miss
Alexander said yesterday that she gave
The Herald reporter the photograph in
all innocence, and declares that she
knew nothing of the fact that it was
copyrighted.

Before Mr.. Kipling rose glowing in
the East, Mark TWAIN held the field.
He was the ideal Of masculine writers.
There was no halfway with his read
ers-e:ther they swore by him through
thick and thin, or Internationally they
cast him aside. Probably no author
has been so little read by women, al
though, on the other hand, there was
hardly a boy in the English-speaking
world who would not have bsrtered his
soul for Mark Twain's corn cob pipe as
a relic. He did just what boys and
elemental men like, be came straight to
the point; he feared no one; and he es-
teemed laughter above all the gifts Of
God.
On his own ground, despite a huge
and gener lily tiresome band Of imitators
American and English, Mark Twain has
never been equaled, hardly approached.
Mr.. Kipling is bis son only in manner;
10 matter the two are wide asunder.
Mark Twain is the most objective Of
writer's; Mr. Kipling would penetrate to
the innermost. Mark Twain stands by
with alert eye and twitching mouth, set
ting down in nervous, sinewy sentences
whatever strikes him as picturesque, in
teresting or humorous. He is catholic;
for good swearer, for a grotesque horse,
or for the sphinx itself be has the same
apprehensive glance, the glance of the
reporter of genius. 1t is there that be
and Mr.. Kipling take hands-they are
both super journalists at bottom, but
whereas one adds to his journalistic
equipment an extravagant sense of fun,
the other is enriched by dramatic power
aud knowledge of hearts,
Mark Twain at his best is the most
bracing companion in the world-he is
so amusing and amused, and withall SC
sane. He is so unburdened by senti-
meat OF reverence most Of us have
too mich Of both. 1t was he absence

Wise Action.

The Republican State Convention met
st Ocean city on Thursday of last week
and in consequence of a serious division
IN the party, adjourned to meet again
on the 18th of the present month. As
Baltimore city goes in politics, so goes
the State, hence it was thought best that
some satisfactory settlement should be
made as regards the nomination Of a
candidate for Mayor Of that city ere
State ticket is put in the field. The
difficulty grew out of the fact of want
Of brainY leader in our party. Sew
eral persons desired the honor Of being
the Chief Executive of our great city,
and became candidates, as they had a
perfect right to do for the coveted hon
or, but were unfairly treated by that
faction of the party styling itself "the
organization. Certain demands were
made by the friends of some of he can
didates looking TO fair election, which
were denied them by majority Of the City
Executive Committee. resulting in sepa-
rate primary meetings being held; two
separate nominations being made and
two sets of delegates being sent to the
State Convention. Such a state of af-
fairs existing, it was plain that defeat of
the party was inevitable and so the
State Convention with wisdom and COM
mendable foresight set about to straight
en- out the difficulty and did so by de-
Glazing the whole proceedings in Balti-
more city null and void, and directed
that a new primary election be held
and prescribed the manner and form Of
doing the same. And its action is gen
