GREAT PROBLEMS
BEFORE COUNCIL
IMPORTANT SUBJECTS TO BE
CONSIDERED
City Hall Site, Vetoed Lighting Bill,
Street Car Troubles and Railway
Franchises Are UP for
Settlement

In addition to it's other troubles,
which are numerous and varied, tne
city council this morning will have 10
bear the calm scrutiny OF seVeral
classes in civic government from dlt-
ferent educational institutions in Los
Angeles.
1t is expected that the galleries will
be well filled with budding politicians
who are anxious to learn civic govern
ment as 1t is fearfully and wonder
fully conducted by the city council.
No better time could have been
chosen by these classes than this morn
ing, for a greater variety of important
events were perhaps never brought
to the attention of a council at one
time in the history Of the city.
There is certain to be at least one
example of passing an ordinance over
the mayors veto and perhaps two. The
one which will almost certainly be
passed without the approval of the
mayor is the one for lighting Hill
street, between First and Second streets.
The mayor has vetoed this ordinance
and two others like it, but the council
has in two previous instances passed
the ordinances over his veto and Will
likely do the same thing today.
The probable second one is the ordi-
nance granting a. franchise to the
Southern Pacific OH Jackson street. The
mayor will have a hearing of this case
in his office this morning and is ex-
pected to return the ordinance without
his approval in the afternoon.
From it's far reaching influence. this
is probably one of the most delicate
questions that the council will have
to consider, if the ordinance Is re-
turned by the mayor.
The mere act of voting for the fran
chse stirred up so much antagonlstic
feeling that a general recall of all
the couclmen, with a single exception,
was threatened last week, and how
much more hostility would be engen-
dered by passing the measure over a
veto. is a question that will doubtless
induce the council to go slow
If the council refuses to pass it over
veto, other complications may arise.
Whatever the outcome, the civic gov
ernment classes will at least see nine
councilmen in very hot water.
City Hall Site
IF Councilman Harmon cares to cut
short his thirty days leave of absence,
the civic government classes will prob
ably see a hot fight between Mr. Ham
mon and Mr.. Smith on the acceptance
by the city of free city hall site on
North Main street, and then finally see
the site accepted by a vote of five to
four. The favorable vote is almost
certain, but the minority may be les
Sened.
The South Park avenue street car
squabble is another proposition that
will be thrashed out early in the MORN
ing session and it is probable that the
civic government students will see a
dignified body of men making a con-
tract with a street car company with
out any legal authority to do so. Such
at least, is the opinion of the assistant
city attorney
These are some of the most important
things that will come before the coun-
Gil, but with other features of scarcely
less Importance today will be one of the
biggest and busiest that the municipal
legislative body has ever experienced

The Comeback

The self~made millionaire. surrounded
by pretty girls, talked with spirit and
good sense.
The millionaire by inheritance got
jealous. He poked his way into the
foreground, and interrupted the con-
versation.
MY friend" he said, 81 am pleased
to see you in a happier and prouder
position than you occupied thirty
years ago. l remember you at that
time as a bootblack in a Cincinnati
hotel"

sus. "Then you have the advantage Of
me, sir. But, of course, 1 couldn't be
expected to remember every nobody

WOMAN ACCUSES HUSBAND
Mrs. John Callahan Alleges That He
Assaulted Her With Sugar
Bowl

With her head bleeding profusely
Mrs. John Callahan was taken from
her home, 713 Turner street, to the
receiving hospital late last evening
and her husband, John Callahan, was
sent to the city Jail on the charge of
battery.
According to the story told to the
police by the woman, she was sitting
in front room conversing with George
Simmons, when her husband aroused
from a drunken stupor. Becoming en-
ragged at the presence of Simmons, CAL
lahan picked him up and threw him
from the house.
Mrs. Callahan says her husband re-
turned and after cursing her, attacked
her with sugar bowl, which he broke
on her head. Officers arrived and ar
rested Callahan before he could inflict
further injury.
The woman said that Simmons wife
and she have been friends for some
time. A few weeks ago Mrs, Sim
mons left for Europe and Simmons
called upon Mr.. and Mrs. Callahan.

FRANCIS MURPHY URGES YOUTH
TO FRUGALlTY
General Harrison Gray Otis Presides
at and Addresses Gospel Temper
ance Meeting and Encourages ABB
stlnence Advocate in His Work

An enthusiastic Murphy meeting was
held last evening at Blanchard hall,
Gen. Harrison Gray Otis presiding.
The hall was filled to overflowing.
After reading the scripture lesson, Mr..
Murphy introduced Gen. Otis, who made
a brief address. saying in part;
THE congratulations l have received
from Mr.. Murphy this evening 1 trans
fer to himself, as the gracious gifts be-
longing to him. Mr.. Murphy is to my
mind the best man today in the cause
of temperance.
For years he has been doing this
work Loyalty. He has a large, liberal
heart and does not split hairs. He is
ready to lift up and never to cast down.
1t is difficult to measure the extent Of
his munificient work.
"He is always at work for his fellow
man and his name stands pre-eminent
among men. We are glad that he has
regained his health and is able to con-
tinue his great work. I give way to
him at this time and I offer my con-
gratulations before this great aud
ience."
Gen. Otis remarks occasioned hearty
and continued applause.
Francis Murphy spoke in his charac-
teristic manner, saying in part:
'I wish to press the point to you,
young man, to keep record of your ex-
penditures and save your money. Take
care of your money, however small it
may be, and it will srow so that you
can get a lot and then build a cage in
which to put bird.
young man, always be at work. 1t
is no disgrace to work. L have sawed
wood for so cents cord and took my
pay in buckwheat If out of employ
ment. go to Gen. Otis for work, and If
he turns you out go back again and he
may like your grit and give you a job.
Poverty has been a great blessing
to the man who has been reduced from
riches and can relish a dish of pork
and beans, when in his riches nothing
but a plate costing $25 would fill the
bill"
Mr.. Murphy interspersed his remarks
with scenes of his boyhood, and drew
word picture of the parting blessing
of his mother.
Frank G.. Finlayson followed with a
few interesting remarks.
At the close of the meeting large
number signed the pledge in response
t. the earnest appeal of Mr.. Murphy.

pital paralyzed below the waist What
matter ne?" was the first question he
asked. And when told he had been
severely injured. All How groaned. why
had they not let him die? Why had
they saved his life only to be confined
to a bed for the rest of his days?-an1
I'm Wee--the thought made him Wish
he had died thousand times.
Fortune Dwindles
After long months in which the little
fortune that was to buy him happiness
for his lifetime, dwindled down to al
most nothing. All How improved grad
ually. He was always patient and had
become resigned to his fate. Three
years passed and All How began to
wish for the fan tan table, but 1t was
despair that brought the thought to
his mind.
Some months ago All How was put
in an invalid's chair and allowed to
wheel himself about the halls OF the
hospital All How was content until
recently when he called for the nurse
who has charge of his ward and held
a consultation with him. 1t resulted Ill
arrangements for All How to be taken
to Chinatown yesterday, and when he
had gone and returned there was new
life in him.
AS best he could All How took part in
the feast of the dead. Presents were
heaped on him by old friends. To-
wards the latter part of the afternoon
the thoughts of a fan tan game en-
tered his mind and he took out a
little stack"
Upon his return to the hospital he
quietly informed one of the physlclans
that he had several lottery tickets
which, if they proved winners, would
make up for his loss at fan tan.
Un Wee-well, she is of the past to
him. All How never cares to discuss
her and when her name is mentioned
to him his sunny disposition gives way
to a sorrowful expression that for
bids the mention of something he holds
sacred,

CHINESE CRIPPLE
ATTENDS FEAST
PLAYS ONE MORE GAME OF
FAN TAN
All How Leaves County Hospital tor
First Time in Six Years and Visits
Scenes and Associates of
Former Days

All How, or Chinese Charley as he
is known around the county hospital
after six years confinement to the insti-
tuition, made a visit yesterday to China
town and, after participating In the
celebration of the festival for the dead
returned smiling and happy. All How
was very communicative, SO ta!katiNe
in fact that he volunteered the history
of his life.
In a dingy little hovel OH the out
skirts of Canton, All How first saw
light. Like all Chinese of his type he
was set to work to learn his father S
trade, that of a shoemaker, when he
was but a lad. 1t was very monot-
onous, that common hum drum OF
every day life, and he began to look
for a brighter future.
All How had heard Of the sea and its
wonders and some times a longing to
go aboard some of the great steamers
crept into his heart, but like good
followers of Confucius, he tried to be
contented with his lot 1t was of no
avail and All How one day accepted an
oportunity to go to sea as a cabin boy.
For several years All How sailed the
main as cabin boy of one of the large
freighters. Twice he had been in San
Francisco, and when he was offered
the place of valet in the household of a
rich American merchant, he was only
too GLAD to accept Struck by the pros
poets of great wealth that appeared 10
him, All How left San Francisco and
came to Southern California.
The money saved from his wages
enabled him to buy a horse and wagon
and an interest in truck garden For
tune seemed to have smiled on him
and he says no happier Chinese ever
lived A trip to China was his dream
and it was realized. 1t was then that
Un Wee, dainty maid of his native
town, entered his life.
A Chinese Romance
All How came back to America filled
with resolves to redouble his efforts
and make much money so that he could
go back to China and claim I'm Wee.
There had been but one sin that All
How had been guilty of, fan tan. Twice
his passion for the game lead him to
ruin, but now that Un Wee had come
into his life, he would never again
play.
So All How worked and toiled. The
limits of day did not confine him to
regular hours of work. Fast indeed,
he piled UP his fortune and the more
wealth All How amassed, the harder lie
worked. At last, he set the time when
he should depart for China-Just two
months and Un Wee should be his.
All How had consulted steamship
agent and made all preliminary ar
rangements for his passage to the
orient July 5, 1899, when his bright
hopes were blasted forever.
Driving toward home. Ah How sat
in his vegetable wagon. Suddenly his
horse became frightened and run

injured.

Chiaffarelli

Last nights concert at the Chutes
was the best of the Chiffarell season.
IT is generally agreed that Chiaffarelli
renders transcendental music of the
highest order. He. like other great
leaders. plays under the power of in
spiration One of the new works
rendered was "The Ride of the Walk
ure," by Wagner, especially trans
posed for the band by Slgnor Chidf-
farelli. 1t was well rendered for the
first time. but If each performer would
practice his own part to get each note
exact together with the shading and
AccentN subscribing all the powerful
magnificent. Then, too, the trumpet
narts should come out marcato with
intense power and dramatic feeling.
The stabat mater lacked in rhythm
in the accompaniment and should have
been played with more passion and
fire.
The soloist of the evening was Jean
de Chauvenet, whose work on the sec
ond Liszt Rapsodie was pronounced
by the musicians present as the best
they had ever heard. NJ de Chauvenet
was instructed in this composition by
De Pachmann, the great Russian pi-
anst, who in turn received 1t from
Iiszt himself. NJ. de Chauvenet pos
SeSSeS a poWerIul soul loiCe anu ViiC
tionality which moved the audience TO
the utmost.
Signor Chiaffarelli is unique in his
conducting and scolds his men If they
don't play to suit him, telling them
they should be making shoes Instead
of music.
"Te Fedora" by Giordano was the
great success of the evening, and Sig
nor Chiaffarelli brought his men to a
superb climax which could not but help
to inspire the audience with his re-
markablc personality and genius.

DRAMA THRILLS
IN VARIED FORMS
BURBANK'S PRESENTATION is
REMARKABLE PLAY
1.-THE Forbidden Marriage" Strikes
Every Emotion In Dramatic Regis
ter and Audience Drifts Be-
tween Joy and Misery

"a Forbidden Marriage" is the play
that is being offered by the Burbank
stock company the current week. When
Manager Morosco selected the piece he
doubtless had in mind that variety
is the spice of life and it is a diff
cult matter at the present moment to
recall a play quite like 1t.
Running the gamut of emotions,
"The Forbidden Marriage" strikes
almost every key in the dramatic reg
lister, from the most dramatic melo-
drama to the softest pathos.
The last act came as a surprise to
the audience. When the curtain fell
on the last act every one was seated,
absorbed in the ending of the tale, for
who would suspect that Lester Ken
nard who had come with two thugs
to plunder the house, should fall under
the spell of the little child in her
"nightie," even though she were his
own baby long since lost to view. The
last act seems almost complete in it
self and 1t held the big audience almost
spellbound for over thirty minutes.
William Desmond delighted the fe-
male portion of the house. William
Bernard as Lester Kennard lacked
vitality. Monda Glendower was en-
tirely unhappy as Beatrice Kennard.
Henry Stockbridge and Bennett South
ard were responsible for the greater
portion of the laughter Blanche Hall
made the part of Phyllis flesh and
blood reality. Messrs. CHM and Manion
were good in bits
Jane Kelton. Payson Graham and
Carroll Marshall. while not called upon
for any strenuous acting, displayed
marvellous gowns. Little Fay BANTER
gave the role Pearl an artistic touch
in the last act. The scenery, espe-
cially the gambling den, was we'll up
to the usual standard. THE Forbid
den Marriage" is well worth seeing.
