that arc quite original. For example,
he changes his uniform six or seven
times. If the son of an artillery Gen
eral comes to announce the death of
his father the Emperor never fails to
don the uniform of an artillery Gen.
eral in order to pay respect to the
officer who died in his service. He
appears in the uniform of an artillery
General, of General of cavalry or
of infantry, Or even in the uniform of
an Admiral, according to the rank of
the person whom he receives.
If the Emperor receives representa-
tives or military attaches Of foreign
countries, he wears the uniform of the
foreigner that he receives, Or at least
the decorations Of the country Of the
foreigner.
All this tiresome ceremony lasts I'M
til 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The
Emperor then goes back to see his
children, who are already at table,
and he takes lunch with them. Then
he sees the high officials, the Generals
and Ministers, and discusses with
them the affairs of State. He visits
the artists and poses for a portrait Or
bust. He inspects the barracks and
the Offices Of the public administration,
and, if the weather permits, he closes
the day with Q long carriage ride.

Plans and Exhibits for the Omaha
Exposition

Plans for the space in which the Los An
geles county exhibit will be placed in the
Omaha exposition are in the hands of Eisen
and Hunt and will be sent to the exhibit
department next weeek. The space will be
surrounded by arches in imitation of tho
mission architecture. The main archway
will be surmounted by a walnut elephant.
The reason an elephant is selected and the
California state emblem, bear is slighted
is because eastern people know an ele-
phant when they see it, but unfailingly mis-
take the bear for Chicagos S distinctive ami
NAL, the hog.
Among the exhibits ready for Omaha are:
A display Of olive oil and wines, H. Jevne;
ostrich plumes and eggs, Pasadena Ostrich
farm; canned goods, c. H. Walters & Co.,
Pomona; wines, H. ]. Woollacott; full line
of goods, Bishop & Co.
The fruit class just completed includes
1000 pounds, dried. The board Of trade Of
Pasadena will exhibit Photographic views
of the rose tournament Mount Lowe and

tensive Photographic display. The Sunset

WHITTIER SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Trustee Mitchell to Urge Their Con-
struction Before State Examiner


The board of trustees of the State Reform
school at Whittier met yesterday after
noon and decided upon an aggressive poll
cy regarding the non-action and probable
hostile action of the state board Of exam
iners and the state building board about
the proposed new buildings for the school.
Mrs. Adena Mitchell, president Of the
board, was appointed a committee of one
to go to Sacramento to see the board Vt
examiners, which consists Of Gov. Budd,
Secretary of State l.. H. Brown and Attor-
ney General Fitzgerald The board of ex.
aminers, consisting of Governor Budd, Mr..
Brown and the state treasurer, has the
power to veto the construction Of the pro.
posed trades and other buildings at whit
tier. 1t has been asserted, on what should
be excellent authority, that all Of the mem
bers but the governor are in favor of the
buildings, but, as the law requires unani-
nous vote of the board, If the governor op.
poses the measure, nothing more can be
done.
The governors opposition, IL 1t exists az
is claimed, is attributed to personal feel
ing growing out of some personal differ
ences between himself and some members
of the Democratic party hereabouts.
form school Is unsafe and has been con.
demned. Unless the new buildings are pro-
vided, the school, it is claimed, will cease
to be Of any benefit to the inmates or to the
state, SO far as imparting industrial instruc-
ton is concerned.
The money for the improvements, $50, 900
for the buildings and $1,000 for their equip
ment, is all in hand, being the sums paid by
the counties Of the state for the mainten-
ance in the school of ofincorrigibles sent from
their limits. OF this sum about $35 900 has
been paid by Los Angeles county. The ad-
vantage of having this money expended
for the purpose mentioned is obvious. The
consensus of opinion hereabouts seems to
be that there is no good reason why the
buildings should not be put up, and it is
hoped that Mrs. Mitchell's mission will be
successful.
