Any one who looks in at the Jonathan
or California clubs at the lunch or
dinner hour cannot fail to be struck
by the large number of distinguished
looking men who live in Los Angeles
1t is the same experience at the thea
ters and at the churches. To "A notable
degree, this was always the case with
the Angelic city
Before the war Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock, then a captain and quarter
master of the United States army, was
stationed here. He lived in a little
brick house on the east side of Main
street.-The first brick house ever erect
ed in Los Angeles, by the way. 1t was
somewhere near where the Westmin-
ster hotel now stands Mrs. Hancock
during her residence here used to sing
in the Episcopal church services. Can't
Hancock in those days was looked upon
as the handsomest man in the Ameri-
can army. During the campaign of 1880,
when he ran for president against Gar
field, the New York sun made much
ado about Hancock's obesity. Charles
A. Dana, the editor Of the sun enter
tanned great hatred against Han
cock and Grant.
When the great Pcnnsylvanian paid
a visit TO Los Angeles, the year after
that election, his old-time friends here
looked him over very curiously to see
any signs of that much trumpeted
obesity. They were treated to sight
Of a majestic looking gentleman,

Maeruder an Apollo
In those days Capt. J. Bankhead
MaRruder, then of the army of the
United States later of the Confederate
army, was also stationed here. Ma
Gruder was an exceedingly dashing and
handsome man. In fact, later in life
he was known as the best looking man
of the Confederate army. This chiv-
alrouS gentleman was "A Vertible bird
like his friend Hancock, on the Federal
side. whose ways were more restrained.
Like Hancock, he was six feet high
or more.

In those old days Los Angeles was
tull of fine looking men. There WAS
DIR. Winston. for instance. He was
of commanding stature, good figure
a tiptop story teller, a fine host ANA
one of our pioneer miners. He mar
ried one of the beautiful Bandini girls,
and has left daughters whose beauty
has run into proverb all over Califor
mia. and his son Jim. from stature ana
strength, might head a column of Ma
poleon's famous Cuirassers.
Governor Pco Also
Pho Pico was one of the notably good
looking men of those days. Although
not tall, Pho Pico was otherwise ap-
portioned after the primrose fashion
and kept up his sprightliness and gal
lantry to his ninetieth year. He never
admitted that age was possible prop
ostion with him. A few months before
he became nOnagenarian he was
thrown out of his buggy in front of the
Plco house, landing on his left ear. In
stead of cOllapsing, he jumped to his
feet, ran after and captured his refrac-
tory, steed. seeming none the worse
for his mishap. DR.. Osler, after such
an episode. would doubtless have
stretched out cold and flat. Years
amounted to nothing with the race of
men who occupied Los Angeles and
Southern California in those days. They
were indOmitable and some of them
lived practically forever.
Andres Pico. a brother of Governor
Pico, was one of the notable looking
d-timers. He had been ii general in
the Mexican war and had figured in
great events. He might have equaled
his brother in age but for the misad-
venture of falling into the Main street
sewer shortly after my arrival in Los
Angeles and receiving injuries which
ultimately proved fatal. These broth
ers hark back to Andalusia, in Spain.

one of the handsomest men who ever
figured in the public affairs of this
state, north or south, from the noun
tains to the sea. He was six feet two
or three inches, his features were
classical and his form that of an Apollo
or an Antinous. With exceptional gifts
of all kinds. Eastman, toward the end
of his life fought a long and disastrous
battle with John Barleycorn, which the
latter, as is so often the case, won.

one day Il lot of his old-time friends
were assembled at Congress hall and
We're talking about Eastman, who was
going down hill rapidly, and who, from
having been an Apollo Belvedere, had
become a very unpleasant object to
meet. one of the party said:

Lets chip in and send Jim up to
Bartlett's Springs
There was an instant agreement, and
each pledged himself for $780, making
$500 altogether. On being approached
and being informed of the action of
his friends, Eastman replied:
Gentlemen. 1 have entered into a
contest with John Barleycorn. He has
won the fight. l thank you, but keep
your money"
This is probably the most extraor-
dinary incident of the kind that ever
happened in the history of drinking
men.
Judge Joseph s. Mallard. who has
left lot of beautiful daughters and
StalWart sons about these diggins,''
was one of the notably good looking
men who meandered around here in
those brave days of old" He was born
in burlington, VT. He came to Los
Angeles in 1850 and was genial and
hearty in all his ways. His father had
been an officer in the army of Napo-

A very elegant gentleman in those
days, quite exceptionally good looking,
was DIR. MacDougall. The doctor
avaiIed himself of his pulchritude dur
ing the time he served as mayor of
this city. He had the typical Scotch
face, which, at it's best. cannot be sur
passed. He was well educated, of
course, as an incident of his profess
sion, and was a great social force.
