Members and friends of the Ebell
club enjoyed a musical treat yesterday
when the Ensemble club assisted by
leading soloistss gave musical under

charge of the afternoons program and
one of the largest Ebell audiences of
the year gathered to hear it.

well trained voices and includes in it's
membership Mesdames Mary J. SchaI-
lert, e. l.. Davis, Charles J. Heyler,
Arthur Parker, Henry Henderson,
George Francis Drake, Misses Bri Con-
roy, Myrtle Blewett, Lucy Dixon, Es-
telle Grannis and Myra Stelle. The
members were seated on the stage and
light dresses presented a happy picture.
The first numbers were two by the club,
"Song of the Seasons" by c. D. Haw-
ley, and "Sleep, Sleep Noble Child"
l.. Cherubine. Miss Aileen Northup
gave a delightful violin solo, Zigenner-

BLUE AND GRAY MEMORIAL DAY

This year Memorial day marks the even forty
wears since the close of the Civil War
The last battle of the great conflict was fought
May 13, 1865, more than month after the sur
render of Gen. Lees army at Appomattox. And,
strangely enough, the Confederates won in that
last battle. 1t was fought in Texas, on the border
of the Rio Grande, between the Union forces
under Col Barrett and the Confederates under
Gen. Slaughter.
But at the end of May, forty years ago, the
curtain had dropped on the last act of the Civil
War, and the north and the south had become
reunited nation.
Memorial day. otherwise called Decoration
day, was instituted "for observances in memory
of the soldiers and sailors who fell in the Civil
War of 1S61-65. Originally different days were
selected by the several states for this purpose, but
usage now has settled upon May 30, which has
been made a legal holiday in most of the states.
The custom is observed both in the north and in
the south"
This period of forty years since the close OF
the war may be said to mark the complete etface-
ment of the last traces of bitterness between the
two sections of the United States. The etface-
ment has been in gradual process ever since the
last act of the bloody drama, but only at this late
time do we see evidence of entire obliteration.
Here in Los Angeles today, as in many other
cities of the north and of the south, will be seen
former wearers of the blue and the gray marching
side by side in the memorial observance. Here
in the Los Angeles cemeteries will be seen the
impartial strewing of flowers over the graves
where sleep Union and Confederate soldiers
lilies and daisies in profusion, irrespective of the
blue and the gray

SOCIAL
DIARY AND GOSSIP
Burck-Loomis NuptiaIs

One of the most delightfully."- appoint
ed of the seasons home weddings was
solemnized last evening when Miss Bird
Lawrence Burck, daughter of Mrs. S.
B. Burck, became the bride of Chester
Brown Loomis. While the bridal party
stood beneath a chime of beautiful
wedding bells, Rev. Baker p. Lee, rec
tor of Christ church, performed the
ceremony and Dinubula's orchestra
played softly Schubert's "Serenade."
The ceremony was performed at the
home of the brides sister, Mrs. l.. j.
Selby, 1880 Carroll street, and Mrs. Sell
by attended the bride as matron of
honor. White crepe de chine, richly
trimmed with applique, was the dress
of the bride, and with it she wore
veil fastened with a wreath of cape jas
anime and carried bride roses.
Mrs. Selby was gowned in beautiful
dress of pink organdie, with bouquet
of pink roses. The ring was carried
by little Miss Ida Selby in a white
magnolia blossom. The two little
daughters of DIR. and Mrs. Milbank
Johnson, Misses Louiez and Evelyn
Johnson. carried satin ribbons and all
three of these young misses wore fluffy
little dresses of white silk. Lawrence
Burck assisted as best man, and Mr..
Seby and Mrs. Burck also stood with
the bride and groom. Mrs. Burck wore
gray crepe. Assisting in receiving the
guests were DR.. and Mrs. Milbank
Johnson, Mr.. and Mrs. Gail B. Johnson,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Callander, Mrs.
Weightman Smith, Mrs. Edwin Mar
shall, Misses Phila, Ray and Virginia
Johnson, Miss Emma Bates, Miss Nc
Lemore and Miss Frances Barber.
In the drawing room, where the cere-
mony was performed, green and white
was the color scheme, ferns, palms,
Easter lilies and roses being used to
carry out the idea. The mantels were
banked high with the fragrant bios
SONS. In the dining room the color
scheme was very different, as hundreds
Of tiny pink hearts were used with de-
lightful effect. The tables were laden
with pink roses and ferns. Mustard
was used in profusion on the enclosed
porch.
After the reception Mr.. and Mrs.
Loomis left for brief wedding trip.
Upon their return they will go to the
northern part of the state for brief
period and then will be at home to
their friends in Los Angeles.

CALUMNIES AGAINST THE CITY

good deal of common sense thought was
compressed into brief communication in Sun
DAYS issue of The Herald The writer saws:
81 have thought it would have been much bet
ter for the prosperity of the beautiful city of Los
Angeles if the agitators instead of procaiming
from the housetops the iniquity of the city, had
used little personal work in the reformation of
the people,
He means such practical temperance work as
this: eff a man has among his relations one whom
he knows to be straying from the way he should
go to him and use his personal efforts to reform
him" And again: Il do not believe any good
can come of announcing to the world through the
press that Los Angeles is the most corrupt place
extant; evil should be COPIED with, but we can ac-
complish more by working together than by max
ing big ado through the papers and letting it
end there"
An emotional wave like the one now sweeping
over Los Angeles is in some respects similar to
the ocean tide. 1t rises higher and higher until
the climax is reached, when it begins to recede
In due time is gone, leaving nothing to mark its
sweep except malodorous kelp and the like. The
wave now passing over Los Angeles will subsde
more rapidly than it came, but it will leave behind
an effect deeply injurious to the city. That is to
say, the calumnes and libels now hurled against
the city by professional agitators, and which are
spread broadcast as current Los Angeles news,
will be read abroad with deterrent effect upon
many persons having in mind a home-seeking
visit here
Los Angeles never before has suffered as it is
suffering now from attacks upon its character its
good name and its fitness for the residence of
reputable people.

House Party at Sunset Beach

One of the most elaborate affairs ever
given by one class in honor of another
in any of the local schools or colleges,
is the house party with which the
sophomore class of Occidental college
is entertaining in honor of the seniors.
The party includes fifty members who
left yesterday in a special car for Sum
set Beach. Elaborate preparations have
been going on in that resort for their
entertainment during the past week.
Six houses furnish sleeping accommo-
dations and in the largest of the beach
houses a table has been built which will
seat the whole party.
Prof. and Mrs. Ernest Allen are the
chaperones, and a committee of sopho-
mores with Miss Fairy Means at the
head, is in charge of the culinary de-
partment. Boating and bathing fur
nishes diversion during the day and in
the evening a bonfire on the beach is
one of the centers of attraction.

THE RUSSIAN QUIETUS

Sufficient news of the great naval battle in the
Korean straits has been received to warrant the
conclusion that Admiral Togo has administered
the coup de grace to the Russian navy.
1t seems impossible for the Russians to make
any further offensive naval demonstration. What
is left of Rojestvensky's great armada has been
dispersed, but the individual warships will surely
be picked up by Togos fast cruisers or be at his
mercy if they take refuge in neutral ports
With no Russian base, unless in the improb
able contingency that few crippled craft may
stagger into Vladivostok, the remainder of the
fleet will be absolutely helpless Any of the
sells that may enter neutral harbor will be
obliged either to return to almost Immediately,
without opportunity for making repairs, or at
once dsmantle.
With its naval resources eXhaused the last
hope of Russia for turn in the fortunes of war
is entirely gone. Oyamas army is master OF the
military situation. and we may hear at any time
that he has matched TogO's achievement. With
out navy and with nearly 6Ooo miles between
its military base and the seat of war Russias con-
tinuance of the war would be utterly hopeless.
1t seems almost certainty. therefore, that the
end Of the greatest war of modern times, except
ing the American Civil War; is now practically in
sight The time is ripe for the great powers, in
cluding the United States to approach the bellig
erents with suggestions of peace. There is no
doubt that Japan, as we'll as Russia, will be glad
to terminate the war if satisfactory terms be
arranged. Russia will insist that the terms be
consistent with her national honor and prestige,
while Japan will demand material concessions,
guarantees and a large indemnity. The
powers will be the arbiters in the settlement and
it is hoped the adjustment may be fair, equitable
and satisfactory.

PHILADELPHIA AND LOS ANGELES

Philadelphia has demonstrated that although
a gas corporation may be nearly all-powerful it
is not quite omnipotent The Philadelphia gas
magnates have backed down squarely from the
scheme to rob the city of its gas plant for period
of seventy-hve years in accordance with the
terms of lease agreed upon by the city council
This action is splendid victory for the mayor
OF Philadelphia over both the mighty gas trust
and the Republican city machine, otherwise
known as the Organization" The gas trust was
moved by the power of public opinion to abandon
the scheme for corralling the city's gas plant for
the term of three-fourths of a century.
The victory thus achieved for the people of
the Quaker city by the rigidty of their mayors
backbone recalls the lighting situation in Los
Angeles. Weeks ago lawful provision was made
for putting the lighting and telephone control
ordinance into operation but not even the first
step in that direction has been taken The mavor
has not appointed an official inspector of the
lighting service, as provided by the ordinance,
and so the whole subject remains in statu quo
ante.
The gas and electric light consumers of Los
Angeles were entitled several weeks ago
to a beginning of benefits derivable from the
said ordinance. The mayor has been derelict in
not making provision for such benefits. The ex-
cuse that the civil service commission has no
available inspector stock on hand from which to
make the appointment is trivial There are
scores of men in Los Angeles who are competent
to fill the position and many of them would be
glad to get it.

Decoration Day at Sea

Ye cling to your dead, Old Ocean,
And ye guard them with jealous care,
The heroes who fell your heavy swells
And sank in your bosom bare.
We plead for a sight of their faces;
We mourn DER their grave so chill;
But your ceaseless moan is your answer alones
And we bow to your iron will.
Still. we honor our heroes yearly,
Despite all your angry frown;
We scatter flowers in the summer hours
Where they fought so well-and went down.
So greet we our sailor laddies,
our denizens of the deep
Here's a wreath and tear. a salute and
cheer,
For our loved, in thy depths asleep.

BY Associated Press
NEW YORK, May ga transfer OF
SO 900, 900 to San Francisco was made
today through the sub-treasury by
Laidlaw & Co. The transaction aroused
some curiosity in financial circles. It's
exact purpose could not be learned,
but the bankers declare the transfer
has no connection with the payment Of
the latest Japanese loan.
1t is supposed that the transfer was
made in order to provide money for
the purchase of the Selby Smelling
works. Negotiations for the sale OF
the big smelling works to M. Baruch
Of New York have been in progress
for several months, and 1t is known
that they have been completed with
the exception of the purchase price.

Herald reader writes this complaint to the
paper: "My electric lighting BILL just received, is
$3.50 Last month it was 90 cents, according to
the meter, although the minimum monthly charge
is ST. The electric light is used but little, and
was used more during the month for which the
charge was 90 cents than during the month
charged up at $3.50" If the city Inspector now
had control of the meters, provided in the new
ordinance. it would be his duty to investigate
that particularly spasmodic meter.

The rumor that H. z. Huntington may take
hand in water development for Los Angeles is
servceable, at least to again call attention to the
urgent need of some action in that direction. All
estimates of the growth of the city have been
overshadowed by the recent census and the in
creasing need of greater water supply is OBJ
vious. The present supply is barely sufficient for
the population of today, and possibly for very few
years in the future. Whether Los Angeles shall
be dry because of lack of water is more
important question than whether it shall be dry
by reason of closing the whisky and beer taps.
