Looked for His Pants

S. A. Mason yesterday purchased pair
of trousers from a North Main street
clothing dealer, and the novelty of new
apparel so pleased him that he proceeded
to bowl up in a mild sort Of way. When
he decided to go for his trousers he had
entirely forgotten the place where he had
made the purchase, and thought 1t was the
clothing store Of B. Lubin at 116 North
Main street. He demanded his trousers
from Lubin, and the latter objected to pro-
ducing what he did not possess, so he told
Mason that he was barking up the wrong
tree. This, instead of putting Mason
"wise," merely served to anger him, with
the result that he attacked Lubin. The
men had lively tussle, which extended
from the interior of Eubin's store to the
gutter, where Mason deposited Lubin with
q we'll directed smash in the left eye. Offi-
Ger George saw the row and placed both
men under arrest on charges Of disturb
ing the peace.

NATHAN COLE RETURNS
he PREDICTS A SWEEPING VIC
TORY FOR MAaUIRE
San Francisco Likely to Give Him Ten
Thousand Majority-van Dykes
Nomination Approved

Nathan Cole, the national committeeman
Of the Silver Republican party. who went
to the Populist convention at Sacramento
In the interests of fusion, returned last
evening, elated over the success of the free
silver forces in uniting action OF the reIor"
elements Of the state.
"Our only mission as Silver Republicans,
he said last evening, twas to bring about
fusion, and inasmuch as the plan or the
state Silver Republican committee and the
Populsts of this county was brought about
without a single change, we-feel very we'll
satisfied. AS advocates Of the free coinage
of silver, we naturally wished to bring to-
gether all elements friendly to that end.
This action, successful In California,
has been adopted in several other states
where the Democrats and Populists APP
peared to disagree; our good offices In these
cases having been resultant in harmony.
AFTER the convention number of us yis-
tied San Francisco and met many of the
Mcguire leaders-men like Lawlor, Legget:
and Pepper who all favor him. The
whole city is afiame for Mcguire, and the
opinion Is that he will have the delegation
from that city solidly. The general opinion
among Democrats, Popuists and Silver Re-
publicans is that he will carry that city by
10, 900, while I found a number of Republi-
cans who concede him 5OOO
II found the nomination Of Judge Van
Dyke very popular. His record as a men,
Der of the old Union party and his public
career have made him very warmly re-
garded in the north.
$50 far as I could learn, the San Fran
ciscans believe that Mcguire will be unani-
mously nominated by the Democrats.
though 1t is true that hard fight will be
made against him by the same elements
which contested his nomination at Sacra-
mento.
Personally, I consider the Populist plat
form most satisfactory, and believe that
it and the ticket will be Endorsed by the
Silver Republican convention"
Mr.. Cole added that he considered the
victory won at Sacramento the greatest
triumph over corporation influences ever
won in this or any other state.
While In San Francisco he, with the other
members Of the Silver Republican delega.
| ton. called on Gen. H. G. Otis and Col. j.
+. Berry at Camp Merritt and were most
pleasantly entertained.
The members of the regiment asked Mr..
Cole to let the people and organizat ions
here know how dissatified they were at not
being sent to the front, and to ask that all
influences be brought to bear on the Wash
ington officials toward having the regiment
ordered to Manila at the earliest date.

LIBRARY NOTES
Mrs. Wadleigh Has Returned From
the Association Conference


Mrs. H. c. Wadleigh returned Monday
evening from visit of month or more in
the east, chiefly spent in visiting public IL
braries and investigating library methods.
Mrs. Wadleigh attended the annual con-
ference OF the American Library associa-
ton, which met in June at Lakewood, N.
Y, on ChautauQua lake, Of which H. B
Putnam of the Boston public library is pres
dent. The conference continued two weeks,
and the subjects discussed were library
training and home education by means of
library work, or, in other words, travelling
libraries. The Importance of extending the
influence of Libraries by this method Of cir
culating books is coming to be more fully
recognized, and more extensive plans are
being devised by which districts remote
from the large centers may be reached and
benefited.
The Los Angeles library stands well to the
front in up-to-date methods. and in the
monthly circulation of books in proportion
to the volumes 1t contains. There are fifty
thousand books on its shelves, and the
monthly circulation is about that number.
so that practically they are all in constant
use This fact speaks well for the intelli-
gence Of the community and the library
managers who have built 1t up.

ThevTook the Ducks

officer Harris arrested the balance of the
gang of duck chasers yesterday on war
rants charging them with petty larceny.
Their names are Joseph and John Gere, Joe
Strickeblant and Albert Zenella. The

pany with J. Gray, Angelo Patrick and two
more boys, stolen 26 ducks and four
geese from Fred Rehlow, near the Alise
street bridge, and disposed of them to sew
eral Chinese poultry dealers on Los Angeles
street. The two latter boys were SEN
fenced for petty larceny by the court yes

Charged With Battery

A complaint charging DR.. c. w. Unger,
Jr., with battery was sworn to by J. L.
Eighols yesterday. Eighols is the cripple
who was formerly employed by DR.. Unger
to write some advertisements. After Fig
hols was discharged and paid he presented
an additional bill for $3.50 against DR.. I'm
ger, which the latter declined to pay claim
ing that he had not hired Eighols. The lat
ter persisted in calling at the office, and
finally got into dispute with DR.. Unger,
who caused his arrest on the charge of dis
turbing the peace. The complaint against
Unger is the result Of that trouble. Fig
holss case will be tried July 80 by Justice

NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS
Further Changes in Rates on Wine
Notes Of Track and Tie


An illustration of the contradictory re-
suits brought about by railway and water
freight competition is shown by the rates
that wine shippers have to figure on. For
example, the Southern Pacific has recently
made rate of So cents from California
points to New York via the Sunset route,
While the rate overland by all routes to
Chicago and Missouri river points is 60
cents. The 60 cent rate is reduction from
the charge that prevailed before the Cam
adam Pacific commenced its cutting, for
the former charge was Is cents. So here
is an instance where 1t Is cheaper to send
goods three thousand miles than fifteen
hundred, and. Of course. shippers cannot
pay the rate to New York and have their
goods stopped at Omaha or Chicago. This
is only one instance of many Of the COM
plicated finance that prevails in managing
railway rates, the cost of the transit sold
not having anything much to do with the
charge to be made for such transit. The
former Southern Pacific apothegm of
charging all the traffic will bear was not
SO particularly applicable to the road as
many people may believe. There are no
railways in the country, probably, which
do not to a greater or less extent practice
the same plan.
The Santa Fe will conduct an excursion
to San Diego, with the privilege of max
ing a trip to Ensenada in Lower Califor-
MIA. for the cost of IS for the round trip.
The party will leave here on the 5th and
9Th of August, the tickets being available
for return up to August 18th.
