A RELIC HUNTER
Prof. Holmes Seeks Antiquities for
the National Museum

Prof. w. H. Holmes, curator of the ma
tional museum in Washington, D. c., left
yesterday for Washington after a stay OF
several weeks in Southern California. Prof
Holmes has been quietly engaged, during
his stay in Southern California, in gathering
material for the museum at Washington
In an interview he stated that while his
visit has been entirely satisfactory, he
is not taking back with him great amount
of material. He has been looking over the
field principally.
The professor visited Catalina island and
procured small number of relics of the de.
parted inhabitants. He did not visit San
Clemente or the Santa Barbara islands, fo,
one reason because this is bad time of the
year for the purpose, and he examined sew
eral of the collections of relics in this citv
and in Santa Barbara, and it is probable
that the national museum will soon be en-
riched by selections from these.
The archaeologist, according to Prof
Holmes, is able to learn, from aIstudy of tn,
relics found on the islands, just what tn,
habits, customs, religious rites, pleasures
dispositions and characteristics of thes,
people were.
Prof. Holmes was accompanied by Prof
Magee of the American bureau of ethnology

ROYAL RECEPTION TO GOV.-ELECT GAGE
His Townsnaen Crowd Wiring His Hand the Columbia
Cub-Thousands Of People Block
the Streets

The citizens of Los Angeles rendered to
Henry 7. Gage, governor elect, an informal
reception last night at the rooms of the
Columbia club. During the day the club
building was handsomely decorated with
flags and electric lights in colors for the night
effect. The awning was covered with flags
and festoons of the national colors were dis
played everywhere. Across the street were
three rows of electric lights, red, white and
blue. In the rooms the flag decorations were
relieved by palms and other potted plants.
In the archways stuffed eagles were swung,
and in ensemble the rooms presented very
handsome appearance before the multitude
arrived.
| The committee of arrangements had
formed the most perfect plans and even went
so far as to arrange the stations Of the COM
mtteemen about the rooms and to provide
set program for the reception. The crowd
that rushed into the rooms soon set the
program all awry, and not only overran the
set program but the committeeman as well.
Mr.. Gage was met at the Arcade depot at
7:20 p. m. by the escort arranged. That he
greatly dreaded the return to the hand
| shaking ordeal was evident, for about the
i first question the governor-elect asked upon
lalighting from the train was: "How long
will it last"
Not that Governor-elect Gage was unwill-
ing to meet his friends and neighbors, for
he was anxious to do so, but when one
thinks of the physical exertion required to
shake hands with thousand people, hall
OF whom think it necessary to yank the
governors arm out of its socket in order to
convince him that "they are glad he is it, -
some idea of the physical torture attendant
upon gubernatorial reception may be i'm
tgined.

A HORRIBLE DEATH
OLD JOE BOYLE BURNED TO
DEATH IN HIS ROOM
Thought to Have Had Fit and Tipped
Over a Lamp-Weu-Known
Character About Town

Poor old Joe Boyle, a familiar figure to
many of the old restaurant men, met hor-
rble death early yesterday morning by
being incinerated in his room at the St.
Charles hotel on North Main street. Boyle
has resided at the hotel for a number of
years and being irregular in his habits but
little attention was paid to his movements.
He has lately been dependent upon the fa-
vor of his oldtime friends for food and
whisky, and early in the mornings could be
seen sitting at Jerry Illich's, Jacks, Mar
tins and many other restaurants. Boyle
went out of his room some time early yes
terday morning, for he went to Martin S
restaurant on South Main street and got
breakfast. He was seen about oclocl,
walking toward his home and from subsc-
quent developments it is likely that he must
then have been on his way to his room.
About 5 o'clock Clarence Wall, cook, had
occasion to 60 to the back porch of the St.
Charles hotel. Boyle's room was situated
at one end of the porch and the old man
was up at the time and met Wall on the
porch About twenty minutes later Wall
went on the porch again to draw some wa
ter and looking toward the door of Boyle
room saw the reflection of flames and also
noticed smoke issuing from the room. He
gave the alarm and, accompanied by Fred
erick Eichenhofer, the proprietor went to
the door. Boyle was seen to be sitting on
the floor with his back against stand, hi.
legs drawn up. The flames were burning all
over the room and had ended the life of
poor old Boyle. Had he been alive it would
have been impossible to have rescued him
as the flames were burning too fiercely.
How the fire started will never be known
1t is probable that Boyle, who was subject
to nervous fits, was attacked by one, short
ly after entering his room, and he upset the
lamp, which exploded and caused the fire
and being helpless he could not move nor
give the alarm
The lodgers in the house were alarmed
but no one seemed to have sufficient pres
ence OF mind to turn in an alarm. Police
Officer Fowler went to the hotel and soor
turned IN an alarm and brought the en-
glnes out, In time to extinguish the flames
and prevent the fire from doing further dam,
age. The remains of Boyle were burned tc
crisp and presented horrible sight
They were removed to the undertaking
rooms of Orr & Hines, where an inquest was
held in the afternoon and verdict of acci.
dental death returned Although Boyle had
resided here for many years, no one seems
to know much of his history prior to hi
coming to this place. He was a bellboy in
the old Pico house in 1874, and later ran \
barber shop on Commercial street He was
simple minded fellow and became slave
to drink. He was also troubled with palsy
