in little while"
The steward is right The hard luck
story from the clubs is also true. One
OF the largest clubs in New York, a
club that year ago bought over $50.
600 Havana cigars from a single i'm.
porting house in the city, is almost in
sight OF its last cigar. 1t had laid in
such heavy stock over the winter that
1t was willing to sell to members in
any quantity for almost any price, and
now 1t will not sell box at any price
The most that Fumator can get is a
handful. Fumator doesn' t like the stu
alton or the prospect. He goes down
town TO lay IN supply Of his own. and
he tackles large importer, the second
largest III the city, bat he cannot buy q
box from him. He can buy a little
larger quantity than at the club. but
not enough to last him week. He asks
why, and then the importer says:
II you were an old customer. we
might let you have a box, bat we could
not extend that courtesy to Won very
long. In little while all smokers will
be III the same class, and the domestic
market, which is flooded now, will have
boom. We shut down on the clubs

customers? You have been having Ha.
vana cigars a good deal longer than
anybody who knew thought you would.
but by the time the summer is over a
cigar from Havana will be worth while
looking at.
IL tell you where we are. The last
importation of cigars from Cuba camo
10 the United States about seven weeks
ago. When the steamship-it was the
Saratoga which brought them-arriyed.
don't hesitate TO say it was said that
she had taken away every cigar there
was left ON the island. That sounds like
exaggeration, but it isn't. Our stock is
about seven weeks old at the latest. and

This is why we have shut down ON the
clubs and ON tho cafes and hotels and

Tape by the Mile.

AT first blush it would not seem likely
that electricians would have much use TO,
tape, but as matter of fact they employ
IL literally by the ton, especially of late
years. The electrical circuits are of wire
and every time a joint is made il is served
with tape, or should be, the tape being
nearly an inch broad and well impregnat.
ed with insulating material to keep the
current in and the moisture out. Some
times, If one looks up at wires I'm the
street, stray ends of loose tape can be seen
nuttering in the breeze, like rags from a
sore finger. A great deal of electrical ma
chinery is wound up with tape to prevent
burn outs, and the street railway COM
panies are wisely fond of literally wran-
ping up their car motors in this way. IL
would, In short, be difficult to find a mod
ern department of electrical work i'm which
tape is not an Indispensable and ready
means for helping to maintain the inte9-
rity and efficiency of the circuits. -Det.oi.

ever, after this occurrence.
With the examination of the next wit
ness the prosecution received line on the
defense that Williams will probably make.
Detective John G. Goodman of the Los
Angelea police force was called to the stand
and questioned regarding his investigation
and acquaintance of the case. Goodman
was asked on cross examination by Mr..
Hunsaker if Williams had not told him,
when he went to see the defendant, that he,
the defendant, had been away from his
home on the night of the assault, and knew
nothing about the occurrence. Goodman
replied that he did not testify so particular
ly, having been absent from home on that
night, but had claimed to be in utter ig-
norance of the assault. From this ques-
tion, and the particular stress laid upon it
by Mr.. Hunsaker, the impression was given
that Williams will try to prove an albi. At
this point it was suggested that the court
visit lockwood street and the scene of the
assault, as it was then quarter past
o clock. Justice Morrison could not go
then, as he had an appointment within a
short time, but it was decided that he would
inspect the place this morning, in order to

SYMPHONY CONCERT
The First Recital of the Season Well
Received

In this city of one hundred and ten thou.
sand inhabitants the ratio of musical appre-
citation is about two hundred to one, judg-
ing by the audience that greeted the SYM
phony orchestra yesterday afternoon at the
Los Angeles theater. The people of this
city seemingly do not know q good thing
when they have it or they would have filled
the theater to the doors. From the Rienzi
overture to the Orpheus was one continual
musical treat, being only marred by the
singer The orchestra showed breadth
and knowledge OF how the different works
should be given that would be creditable
to an organization that had worked together
for longer time. The only weak spots were
the wood wind and that was fault due to
lack of practice and POOR instruments, the
oboe and bassoon being the most glaring Of
Tenders. The program was artistic through
out, the daintiest work being done in the
intermezzo from "Kng Manfred" and the
"Kaiser" waltz, both of which needed the
60 and lghtness of touch that tests an or
ganization of this kind.
The orchestra did not warm up to their
work in the opening number and did not
thoroughly enter into the spirit of il. The,
redeemed themselves in the next two and
were heartily applauded. The recitation and
aria from "Fidelio" was something that
should not have been attempted by Mrs
scarborough. The aria in question is one
that requires an appreciation of the whole
opera and of the dramatic intensity that
goes with it and the singer failed in her at
tempt at Interpretation.
The Scotch symphony was well given and
was a credit to the orchestra the second
and third movements being particularly
well given. The beautiful melody in the
adagio was fine, the strings showing to great
advantage. The program follows:
"Rienzi overture, Wagner; "Kaiser'
waltz, Strauss; intermezzo from "King
Manfred" Reineclse; recitative and aria
from "Fidelio," Beethoven; intermission
