WRESTLING
MAT ON STAGE
That is Where the WrestIers Will Face Each Other on Thurs- day Night.

The mat for the wrestling match on Thursday evening will be placed on the stage in City hall. This will give all who want to see the contest a good chaffce to witness all the moves of the wrestlers. Both O'Connell and Cnaki are in good condition and ex- pect to give the spectators splendid run for their money. Jack Keating, who was formerly one of Waterbury's clever swrestlers, will officiate as ref cree of the matches. The management has made every arrangement for the accommodation of the public and it is believed that big crowd will be on hand to witness the tournament. The tickets for the carnival are now oil sale and you can secure your seat sn advance if you so desire. O'Connell will come up from New Haven with a big following while Cnaki will have a retinue of packers from Bridge port. With the two men in good con dition and extending themselves the match should be fast one. The preliminary between Dan Pickett of this city and Max Gordon of Hart ford ought to furnish some excitement as both are fast and strong.

oOilege wrestlers will get together next month in New York. The second annual competitive infercoIlegiafe meet will be held in March in the gym. nasium at Columbia university.
 Wrestling has been constantly grow. ing as a sport among college athletes, during the past year. The first inter. collegiate match was made last year. when Pennsylvania started the ball rolling by arranging a meeting with Yale. Princeton and Columbia. The affair was 90 successful and was hail. esl with such delight by college ath- etes In general that this year Cornell Is trying to get into the association. An invitation has been extended to the 1thacans and all they have now to do Is to get the permission of the faculty.
 At Princeton. perhaps. the sport has taken greater hold than at any other college. A large squad is practicinz daily. fin preparation for the various dual and other meets the management flas arranged The prospects of the team seem particularly bright this year.

MADDEN AND o'CONNELL.

ndFtIOru, FeD. I4-f1naI arrange ments for the wrestling match be- tween William F. Madden of South Manchester and Edward J. O'Connell of New Haven were made last night in the office of D. J. Lucey, manager of the Nonpareil Athletic club, which will pull off the contest in the audi t0rium on February 26. Mir Madden and his manager, C. $. McHale. and NJ. c. Hayes, who represents the New Haven man, were present at the coll ference. tf
 The preliminary articles which were signed on Jdnuary 31, provided for most of the points of the match and at that time it was decided to allow the club to name the referee as tue contestants could not agree upon q man. Mir McHale was anxious for John C. Long to officiate but Mir Long was not acceptable to O'Connell, as he claimed he gave him the worst of decision in the match with Filler in South Manchester. While the club had the naming of the referee Mana ger Lucey did not want man that was mot acceptable to both contcs- tants.
 About all the names of referees in New England were suggested and it was finally decided to have John F. Willis of New Britain.
 When the preliminary articles were signed each wrestler posted S25 with the sporting editor of the Courant. Last night the managers of the men put up an additional S25 apiece and Manager Lucey put up so as a guar antee that the club would fulfill it's part of the contract. The original de-

changes took place in important civic
positions.
At another time the marquis, who al
ways dressed very modestly, made his
way on foot to the palace Of Prince
Massimo, where a big reception was
being held. AS he approached the en-
trance a poInpous lackey looked him
over from head to foot and then barred
the way.
"No admittance tonight" he said In
solently. "a reception is going on"
The nobleman stood amazed, for even
over princes he often took precedence,
but then he saw the humor Of the sItua-
ton and, smiling to himself, walked
away.
Half an hour later a magnificent
coach drew up before the palace, and
out stepped the marquis, Respondent in
a gorgeous court uniform and sclntillat-
ing with decorations. In a minute the
whole house was astir, and the hostess
herself met him and led him in. The
night was warm, and soon she invited
him to have an ice, an offer which he
promptly accepted. Imagine her feel
lngs when, instead Of eating II, he
coolly and deliberately proceeded to
spread spoonful after spoonful over the
front of his uniform and ON his nu-
merous decorations.
"Why, marquis" she exclaimed In
alarm, what are you doingT
'Giving Caesar what belongs to Gaze
sar," was the quiet reply. Your serv-
ants refused to let me In In the garb
Of a plain gentleman. but promptly adj
mitted my costume and decorations
when carried them in. Is 1t not they
that should be rewardedT
A popularity of the marquis was his
refusing to have as personal Wallets any
but the most quick witted of young
fellows, who could help him in his lit
tie escapades without having to be
coached too much. Many amusing
tales are told of his experiences In en-
gaging them. In one instance he was
sitting at the piano trying some church
music when a new applicant was ush-
cred in. He didn't stop playing or even
glance around, but began to ask ques-
tions, the answers to which evidently
did not appeal to him, for he suddenly
struck loud chord and, following the
tune of the music, chanted In a loud
voice. "You will never do for me-"
Then he rose and without look at the
man started to walk out OF the room.
Quick as a fash the applicant stepped
to the piano and, striking the keys with
both fists, chanted back solemnly on
the same air, I'm very glad Of II, BE-
cause don't like you bit"
Any one else would have had the
man thrown out for his lmpudence, but
the marquis paused at the door and
smiled with appreciation.
At guess we shall get on nicely. after
all" he said pleasantly. See my
'maggiordomo' and speak to him about
terms.'-New York Times.

QUAINT CHARACTER
THE ECcENTRIcITIEs OF THE ITALIAN
MARQUIS DEL GRlLLo.

GRAm Joke by which He Attempted
60 RevOluttOn1ze the Administra-
ten of Justice In ROme-GlvinE TO
Caesar What Belonged to Caesar.
The Marquis del Grille, husband of
the famous actress, Adelaide Ristori,
was one Of the best known characters
Of his day. Rich, bearing a title that
made him one Of the most conspicuous
figures in Roman life, and absolutely
Indifferent to what others thought Of
him, he INDUCED in all sorts Of pranks.
Society called them eccentricities and
pronounced him slightly unbalanced,
but in reality he was possessed Of unu-
Su0lly bright faculties. He had keen
sense Of humOr, loved excitement and
was thoroughly awake to the shortcom-
ings Of his generation. His eccentrici-
ties were SO many object lessons,
which 1t pleased him to administer in
bis own quaint way, and they seldom
went wide of the mark.
His first attempt at a practical joke,
T such 1t may be termed, babe fair to
Fevolutionize the administration of jus
tee In Rome.
Principally at 10 one bright spring
morning every church bell in town be-
gan to ring "a morto," a long, peculiar
toll used to announce a death. Plus
TX. was then relgning pontif and,
hearing the general tolling, asked who
the great parsonage was that all Rome
was mourning None of his suit
knew, but inquiries at st. Peters elicit
ed the fact that the Marquis del GrillO
had sent the order without specifying
who was dead. The pontiff was even
more mystifed, and when word had
come from other churches to the same
effect he sent for the marquis, who
promptly answered the summons.
II hear" said Plus TX. to the mar
Quis. that 1t Is at your bidding that
every bell In Rome Is tOlllng. Who,
then, IL dead2'
Justice, your holiness" was the enig-
matte reply.
'TusticeP
YES, your holiness-justice. The
goddess IL no more In the pontihcal

And thereupOn he related to the as
fonishe6 pontiff how, becoming aware
Of the corruption existing in judiciary
circles, he had made an experiment
Claiming that the farm Of poor neigh
Dor Of his belonged to him. he brought
the poor man to court and by liberal
bribing obtained possession Of the
whole estate, to which he had no right
Whatsoever.
The pope, after listening attentively,
censured the marquis severely for the
method used, but history tells us that
the lesson bore fruit and that many

RUFF AND SCHMITZ

Indictments found yesterday by the
San Francisco grand jury against Abe
Ruef and Mayor Schmitz, charging
them with extortion, will surprise no
one-except probably Ruef and
Schmitz.
1t was high time these worthless were
brought into the limelight of investi-
cation so that their conduct might be
known of all men, whether it be good
or evil.
The fierce scandals which followed
the earthquake have done nearly as
much as the act of nature to destroy
San Francisco. Graft, oppression, ex-
tortion, highway robbery, burglary and
murder have exhausted the patience of
the decent citizens of San Francisco,
and the house-cleaning day has come.
Now may the law take it's due course,
without let or hindrance, to the end
that no guilty man be allowed to
escape.

CAHUENGA Gets
ANOTHER SETBACK
LACK OF MAPS DELAYS ATTOR-
NEYS OFFICE
Unable HurriedIy to Fix the Precinct
Boundaries for Polling Places,
So Council VIII Act
on Monday

Because of the inability of the city
engineers office to properly fix pre-
cinct boundaries the city attorneys
office was unable to make a final re-
port to the special meeting of the Los
Angeles council yesterday on the propo-
sition of the residents of Cahuenga val
ley to vote for annexation to Los An
geles at a special election.
1--WE were unable promptly to get
revised maps to fix the lines correctly
by which to locate polling places, so
would ask that the question be deferred
till Monday By that time we will
have the comparisons made" said At
torney Robertson.
All week extra clerks have been at
work in City Clerk Harry Lelande's
office comparing the eight thousand
names on the petitioners lists with the
records. This required sessions far into
the night, as the county books are IN
use in the daytime.
IT can with the assistance of people
from there arrange the precincts in five
minutes said Councilman Houghton.
This offer did not even meet with
second.
Frank w. Hovey, representing the
petitioners, said that rather than take
any chances on making illegal steps
he favored waiting till Monday so that
the precinct lines could be correctly
determined, after which immediate ac-
ton could then be taken.
With the understanding that every
body would be satisfied the council laid
the question over till Monday after
noon

THERE AND HERE

The patience of San Francisco's
decent element Of citizenship has been
sorely taxed, but still further strain
upon 1t is announced.
i. The notorious board of supervisors,
controlled by Abe Ruef, have just
adopted a resolution permitting sa-
looms, cafes. and restaurants where
liquors are sold to keep open until
2 a. M
This order is made in face of the
well known fact that the city has been
a hotbed of crime since the resumption
of liquor selling. Extension of the
open door period to o'clock in the
morning is certain to aggravate the
present conditions of drunkenness,
crime and moral debauchery.
The supervisors who thus pander to
the worst classes of San Francisco's
population seem to have made the
concession to the saloons as a public
defiance to the decent element. Their
act in attempting to stop the official
graft investigation, by ousting the
district attorney and forcing Ruef into
his place, came near swapping the cord
of public patience, and they wer1
greatly perturbed for a time. The fact
that they now dare to provoke the
reputable class anew, indicates that
their courage has returned and that
they rely upon Ruef to stifle investiga-
ton of their official record.
No wonder that vice president of
the Santa Fe railway said in this
city two or three days ago, San Fran
cisco is more or less out of the rum
ming, because of lack of hotel facilities
and conditions generally; on the other
hand, the hotel accommodations of Los
Angeles and Southern California have
improved wonderfully, and they were
so good before that improvement hard
ly seemed possible"
There is a wide difference, indeed,
between conditions generally" in San
Francisco and in Los Angeles. The
difference is so stupendous that the
northern city is Stunned by homeseek-
ers and investors, while the southern
metropolis is the greatest focus of at
traction in the United States.

NoN.PULLABLE DEPARTMENT

The board Of education has taken an
important step in its proposed new
method for the selection Of teachers
for the public schools. The plan as out
lined should result in higher average
standard of efficiency. II followed
strictly II will narrow the supply of
available teachers and will entirely
break up the perniclous practice of
making eligibility dependent, to any ex-
tent on influential pull"
1t is surprising for most citizens to
learn, as reported in The Herald, that
examinations of teachers hitherto have
been very perfunctory." As stated,
Sometimes a hundred and fifty would
have to be passed upon in two hours,
and as a matter of course only cur
sorry examination could me made Gre
dentials Of past work would be exam
ined, but the applicant would be sub
jected to no mental tests whatever"
What has been counting for capability,
It would seem, is indicated in this state
ment: For weeks before the choosing
of teachers, committee members and
superintendent were subjected to inn
portunities for favorites from infuen-
tial friends"
But the "pull" now Is to be eliminated
entirely, according to announcement.
If the purpose proves successful 1t
will carry sequence quite as impor-
tant as the direct object That Is, it
will show that one department of the
city government is capable of getting
along without dominance from the pull
and push powers that control all the
other departments. Any branch of the
local public machinery that might be
run without the direction of those pow
ers would be municipal curiosity in
Los Angeles.
Assuming that the board of educa-
tion is in earnest in this avowed deter
mination, the necessity of a higher
salary schedule for teachers will soon
appear. 1t is difficult now to secure
a sufficient number of teachers, even
with the lax method of examination re-
ferred to. The higher the standard of
efficiency is raised the greater will be
the difficulty. The present salaries are
entirely too low. They should be raised
to figures calculated to attract teachers
of the highest efficiency. Incapable ap-
plicants should be rejected and those
who are fully qualified should receive
salaries equal to those paid in the fore
most eastern cities.
Los Angeles deserves the best of
everything. When it comes to the ed
ucation of it's rising generation 1t de-
mands the best.

CAR STRIKES AUTOMOBILE
Chauffeur Says Electric Was Running
at High Rate of Speed and
Accident Was AvoidabIe

Running at high rate of speed last
night San Pedro car No. 288 struck an
automobile owned by the Standard Au-
tomobile company and driven by L. l..
Brentener at Ninth and Main streets.
Brentener was thrown about fifteen
feet, but as he alighted upon his feet
he escaped serious injury.
Brentener stated that his machine
was between two wagons when the ac-
cident happened and he further assert
ed that If the car had not been running
at high rate of speed the accident
could have been avoided. The back Of
the machine was crushed in and that
Brentener escaped without injury is
deemed marvellous.
A severe bruise upon the hip was the
only injury sustained by the chauffeur
and he was taken to his home at 1882
Flower street.

CAUSE FOR THANKSGIVING

Governor Pardee says truly in his
Thanksgiving proclamation that 1.-The
people of California have much for
which to return thanks to the Giver of
all blessings" And further, Although
San Francisco and other cities were
almost destroyed by fire and earth
quake, the general prosperity of the
state has remained unaffected"
1t is remarkable fact, one which at
tests the solidity of the states pros
pefity. that the awful calamity in and
about San Francisco has caused no
perceptible check in the wonderful de-
velopment of California. There has
been no realization whatever of the
gloomy forebodings entertained by
many people that the northern catastro-
phe would have disastrous effect upon
the states progress. Even in the COM
munities actually injured by the dis
aster the spirit of '49" is recrudescent,
showing the same indomitable pluck
that was manifest in the Golden States
infancy.
In sections of the state remote from
the scene Of the great disaster. par
'ticularly in the southland, not even a
temporary check to the general pros
perity resulted. In Los Angeles a few
pessimists expressed doleful forebod-
ings directly after the calamity, but
they were soon silenced by the un-
cheekedforward march of progress.
Los Angeles did pause in business
activity long enough to win encomiums
from near and far for its unparalleled
zeal in ministering to the sufferers in
the stricken sister cities. But when
the emergency had passed the wheels
Of Industry revolved again in Los An
geles with even greater rapidity than
before.
At the present time, not yet seven
months since the northern calamity,
Los Angeles looks backward and notes
the most marvellous half year OF pros
perity in all its history In no former
period was there such expansion in
population, material growth, business
increase and general progress as have
been witnessed since that event.
This seemingly anomalous condition
results in part from the large inflow
of San Francisco people Of all classes
including many business men and capi-
talists. In larger measure, however.
IT has resulted from the conviction in
the east that Los Angeles is the COM
