and temporary suspension OF controversy
on minor issues, the speaker favored. The
referendum and the initiative were entering
wedges to the accomplishment of other
great reforms. A new party would in time
spring up which would centralize the votes
of those in favor of good government. So
cialistic success at Haverill, Mass, at the
last election was due in great measure to the
magnificent work of Mr.. Debs, but the
speaker could not believe that the Social
Democracy possessed the elements of per-
manent party success. He favored partici-
patton in the contests of the leading parties
rather than going away into small parties
whose influence was overwhelmed by the
majorities Of their larger opponents.
If anyone felt that his special sphere of
action was in the smaller political organiza-
tions, let him so there; but wherever he
should go, let him advocate the great re-
forms of socialistic Christianity. 1t was an
element of strength, that in all parties could
be found ruling spirits whose love OF reform
was inbred and whose advocacy of good
government was tending to open the way to
the ultimate formation of a new party
which should put into execution the social
istic ideas of Christianity which are every
where gathering new strength.
Mr. Bliss said he would spend much of his
time hereafter in the smaller towns of
Southern California, preaching the truths
OF Christian Socialism, but he would from
time to time meet with the friends of reform
in Los Angeles. He urged unity of action
and greater interest and participation in the
affairs of government, as means OF correct
ing the grievous abuses which have sprung
up in this country.
The audience was very responsive, both
in its appreciative manifestations during
the address of Mr.. Hazard and its hearty
approval of the sentiments expressed by
Mr.. Bliss, and when the question was pre-
sented as to whether meeting should be
held next Sunday, Christmas day, large
number signitied desire to gather at that
time for the further discussion of Christian
Socialism 1t was therefore announced that
such a meeting would be held, and a pro-
gram will be arranged for publication Sun
day morning next.
At the conclusion of Mr. Bliss remarks
Mr.. Hazard by request gave some further
details regarding the advantages of the
postal primary system. He said as to the
expense entaled, that could be provided for
by the assessment of candidates whose
names should be placed upon the ticket, or
it could be met by voluntary contribution.
The main object sought was to reform the
method Of making nominations so that the
men to be voted for as offcehoders should
not be left to the selection of conventions
moved by partisan influences.
In behalf of the audience, w. H. Knight,
the presiding officer, extended the thanks of
those present to Mr. Hazard for his re-
marks on the postal ballot

Death of a Pioneer

William I. MaNey, who died in this city
yesterday, had long been a resident of Los
Angeles, having crossed the plains in 1864
Arriving in those early days, he built up
large butcher business, which he continued
to carry on until he retired from active
work few years ago. Mr.. Maxey was at
one time assistant chief of the volunteer fire
department and he was connected in some
capacity with that service until two years
ago, his resignation at that time being due
to illhealth. For several years he acted as
a mounted policeman. Since his retirement
from business he has lived with his brother,
John j. Maxey of Fernondale.
Mr.. Maxey was man who endeared him
self to all with whom he was associated. He
was an efficient and upright official and
commanded the respect of all who knew
him. His remains are at the undertaking
parlors of Robert Sharp & Co., and the
funeral services will be held there on Tues
day at 9:30 a. IN.

A FAMOUS BELLE
Accidental Death of Mrs. Mary Tutt
Throckmorton

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18.-Mrs. Mary
Tutt Throckmorton, who in her early life
was leader in society here, died tonight
from the effects of inhaling Illuminating
gas which escaped by accident in her room.
She was SS years of age. In the beginning
Of Jackson's second term as president Mrs.
Throckmorton, then Miss Tut, made her
debut in the executive mansion. Martin
Van Buren was one of the young girls ad-
mrers, and her reported engagement to
him was one of the society rumors of the
capital. Major Charles B. Throckmorton,
retired, her only son, arrived here today
from New York. The latter's daughter, Jo-
sephine Holt Throckmorton, was the lega-
tee under the famous alleged will of the late
Judge Joseph Holt, afterwards declared a
forgery.

Electric Car Collision-The Japanese
Cruiser Chitose Expected at
Santa Barbara

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Dec. 1S.-This
city is not to have high school building a
pre.ent, being unwilling to issue $4,000
bonds to cover cost OF construction; yes.
terday the bonds were defeated in spe-
cial election by vote of 28S for and 4S9
against. Opponents of the measure used
much money to insure success, oblivious of
the fact that Santa Barbara now rents
vacant hotel building on business street
instead OF properly secluded place for
study, and that the rent amounts to more
than the interest on the bonds would do.
About o'clock last night papers were
served on Nat Stewart and the members Of
the board OF supervisors to prevent canvass
of the returns in the special tie-vote cleo
ton held on the 18th. Thomas II. Hicks
commences this suit to maintain his incum-
bency, claiming he was elected November
Sth, though the vote then honestly stood
2OO6 for each candidate. So well convinced
OF this was Mr.. Hicks that at the tie-vote
election his name appeared on the ticket,
placed there because he had circulated a
petition to that end. The writ of prohibi-
ton will be argued tomorrow Monday) at
l0 o'clock. Until it is disposed of canvass
cannot proceed. If granted, a contest of
the election of November Sth and recount
oil the votes must be had. Hicks action,
coming at this late day, is generally con-
demned by the people who last week re-
jected him by majority of l3l in favor of
Stewart.
A collision between two electric cars oc.
Cured last night abaut 1890 o'clock. The
only passenger on board was Clio L. Lloyd,
business manager OF the Morning Press. So
unexpected was the crash that Mr.. LLOYD
was thrown from the car in the center of
the street almost to the sidewalk, fifteen
feet away. He sustained severe bruises. but
otherwise escaped, fortunately.

TO leave San Francisco tomorrow and TO

The national game is dead for the

the members of the Trilby nine have come
to an agreement with j. W. Snowden of
Phoenix, Ariz, to go to that place after
the first of the year, and play ball twice
a week. The boys have received a good
offer, and as the prospects for the game in
Los Angeles are bad, they will make the
change with satisfaction. William Carroll,
the former catcher and captain of the Tril-
bys, will hold similar positions with the
team at Phoenix. Majors, the pitcher, will
go with Carroll, as will johnson, the right
fielder; Brown, the shortstop, and Moore,

er is now in Phoenix, and he will join with
his former team. The balance of the team

H. T. Higinbotham, insurance
surveyor, representative of the San
born PERKS Map Co. of New York,
has been in Lafayette this week for
the purpose of remapping the town.
The Gazette does not know to what
extent our insurance rates will be
reduced, but it is believed tha they
will be considerably less than here
tofore. Insurance rates have been
SO high in the past that compara-
lively few of our people have been
able to insure their property. The
change will doubtless greatly in
crease the insurance business in
Lafayette. Low insurance is one
of the main benefits to accrue from
che establishment of the water
works plant.
