Little Miss Tillie Baruch, daughter
of one Of the exhibitors, was then pre-
sented. Tillie is about 6 years old, a
dark -haired little sprite, who danced
around the stage in the skirt dance, a
simmer of scarlet and silver, the very
poetry Of motion. The small lady re-
ceived a number of handsome baskets
and bouquets Of beautiful flowers.
Mr.. Marion Wigmore, who possesses a
fine bass voice, sang The Gladiator, and
responded to an encore with q ballad.
Miss Elmo Blakeley, slender, grace
full girl, with wealth of blonde hair,
danced the always attractive cachuca
very nicely, to the great pleasure OF
the spectators.
Mr. ]. E. Spofford, a celebrity from
York, sang Don't Send Her Away, and
being loudly applauded responded with
The Great McCloskey Fight. Mr. Spot
ford invited his fellow travelling men to
join in the chorus. He sang with en-
thusiastic personation. They not only
joined in the chorus, but orchestra and
drums fell in to swell the refrain. Mr..
Joseph F. Kohler closed the very en-
joyable program with two selections,
Past and Future and Sunday Night In
Lovers Lane.
Monday will be Newsboys' Home day,
and the board of managers request a

cent OF the OOOr receipts Will De donated

to have the entertainment attractive.
The managers appeal to the fathers and
mothers, whose boys are tenderly cared
for in happy homes to come and help
these wanderers, homeless, and often
friendless, and encourage the faithful
workers in a noble cause.
INDEFATIGABLE GRAY.
Manager Gray has been indefat tigable
in his efforts to provide splendid attrac-
tiOns for the exhibition. How well he
has succeeded the large attendance Of
the past week will attest. Further
proof of this was received yesterday,
when Mr.. Gustav Walters, proprietor of
the Orpheum, showed his interest in the
success of the enterprise, and paid a
high compliment to the merchants of
this city. A few days ago Mr. Gray
suggested to Mr.. Walters that the mer-
chants and manufacturers who are
among his best patrons would con-
slider it a pleasant surprise and great
consideration If he would allow his at
fractions appearing at the Orpheum to
add to the program at the exhibition.
Yesterday Manager Gray received the
following cordial reply: II gladly per-
nit artists of Orpheum to appear at
your xhibition.-Gustav Walters"

ROWDY DRUNKARDS ABOARD
A Disgraceful Scene on the Last Pasa.
dena Car
The Wilson Brothers Refused to Paw
Their Fare, and Free Fight
Ensued.

A disgraceful affair occurred north Of
right. Two men, evidently much the
worse for liquor, boarded the last Pasa-
dena car at DAILY street. Their names
were subsequently discovered to be
George and Sam Wilson. When the con-
ductor came around to collect their fares
the two drunken rowdies positively re-
fused to pay, and this in the most OBJ
streperous fashion.
The conductor stopped the car and or
dered the two fellows off. They refused
to bulge. The conductor proceeded to
do his duty, first mildly, then forcibly,
persuading the obnoxious passengers to
get off. George Wilson was evidently de-
termined that he would not get off alone
and grappled with the conductor, both
falling heavily to the ground. The other
Wilson rush to his brothers assistance,
and this was signal for a free fight, for
by this time the motorman had also come
around as a reinforcement to his mate
S. "A. Bisbee, a bartender at the Los
Angeles theater, tried to pour oil on the
troubled waters, whereupon one of the
Wilson's promptly turned his attention
to him.
couple more passengers now came to
the assistance of law and order, and a
general fracas was the result
After few minutes brisk fighting, the
two Wilson's were finally and effectuaIly
subdued, and both were left lying where
they fell, bruised and cursing.
The car was delayed by the incident
about ten minutes. The conductor was
very roughly handled and carries some
bad bruises. The police were notified of
the occurrence, and it is to be hoped that
the Wilson brothers may have an oppor-
tunity to reflect on their drunken in
discretion in the cooler.

Observation-Disclosures

A meager mention of the beautiful
color work done by the pupils of the high
| school cannot begin to do 1t justice. There
were rows of designs for ceilings in SOFT
| water colors, patterns for linoleum and
| oil cloth. floor parquetry, all drawn TO
scale. The pen and ink work of historic

bic; the architectural drawing, the or

and leather work; the drawings of ma
! chinery, projections and developments;
/ details of stone work, brackets and
| frames, were marvellous, when 1t is con-
sidered that only two lessons week are
given in this department to each grace.
There were number of books contain
| ing essays on the Alhambra, illustrated
with colored drawings, bound in covers
designed by the pupils, ornamented with
fac SMILES of the freizes and famous
doorways from that wonderful struc-
ture of old Spain.
The high school orchestra played sew
eral selections during the afternoon, and
| very beautiful calesthenic exercises were
given by pupils from the third to the
eighth grades, under the direction of Mr..

This was followed by an exhibition in
typewriting, conducted by Mr. II. w.
Wagner. The manner in which the stu
dents made the machines hum was proof
that typewriters in the public schools
are not there for play. Their ornamen-
tai work, letters and legal forms, were
written rapidly and handed about for
inspection. After this came an exhibit
ton Of the working of the offices and
firms used in the regular business prac-
tice, under the direction of Professor
Milton Carlson, the author of the sys-
tenn. This exemplified the work done in
banks, wholesale houses, commission
firms, railroad offices, warehouses, real
estate and insurance. This is a new de-
partment In our public schools in which
students are taught to transact business
