Bill Nyc's Cow Advertisement.

Bill Nye, the humorist, once had a
cow to sell, the story goes, and adver-
tised her as follows: owing to my
ill health, l will sell at my residence,
in township 10, range Is, according
to the Government survey, one plush
raspberry COW, aged eight years. She
is of undoubted courage and gives
milk frequently. To man who does
not fear death in any form she would
be a great boon. She is very much
attached to her present home with 6
stay chain. and she will be sold &c
any one who will agree to treat he1
right. She is one-fourth Shorthorr
and three-fourths hyena. l will -alse
throw in a double-barreled shotgun
which goes with her. In May she
usually goes away for a week or TIVE
and returns with tall, red calf witt
wabbly legs. Her name is Rose. !
would rather sell her to a no0-resI'

BUSINESS MAN AND
CIRCUS RIDER MARRIED
BRIDE Is AN EXPERT EQUES.
TRIENNE
Hundreds of Orphans Pass Afternoon
as Happy Guests of Members
of Al Malaikah
Temple

At the conclusion of the main per-
Torrance of the Shriner -ircus last
night, during the concert, r. H. JEFF
fries and Mile. Marietta Corriea were
married.
This public wedding was of special
interest to Los Angeles Shriners and
their friends, inasmuch as the groom
is member of Al Malaikah lodge of
Los Angeles and popular with all his
fellow members. He is the owner of a
butcher shop on Ingraham street.
The bride is one of the expert eques-
triennes of the Sells-Floto show and
one of the best performers in the ring
today.
The officiating clergyman, Rev. e. P.
Baker of East Los Angeles, tied the
knot firmly in the presence of the large
audience.
The couple will make their home in
Los Angeles.
Rhoda Royal, equestrian director of
the Sells-Floto shows, said that Miss
Corriea was one of the best riders in
the company. Chester Thompson of the
Shrine circus was equally enthusiastic
over the groom.
At today's performance F. q. Vim
cent of 300 South Spring street and a
member of AL Malaikah lodge, will
drive nineteen horses while riding two
others-a feat which has heretofore
been performed by King, one of the
professional of the Sells-Floto show.
Yesterday $50 worth of goods were
given away to the crowd of five hun
dred orphans who attended the per-
Torrance in the afternoon, it being
orphans day."e

in the program which the Pacific Ath-
letic club has arranged for next Tues
day evening were training actively yes

ticular heat in the entertainment.
Russell Van Horn went on the road
in the morning and after lunch he put

make a much better showing than he
did against Smith in their last battle,
! Smith took it easy after he had gone
on the road for a nine-mile whirl He
laid off from boxing, but will resume
this work today. The Turk boxed four
rounds with Kid Dalton at the East
Side club land found himself down to
weight after his shower.
Jim Flynn found that he was going
at too fast a gait for his battle with
Johnson on the 21st and took a rest
yesterday except for jog on the road
. in the early morning. Flynn will re-
sumo his regular training today.
Battling Johnson took his customary
lesson from Dewitt Van Court and
showed improvement in style and speed
The Russian will start his preparatory
work Monday at San Pedro.
The date for the bout between Clar-
ence English and George Memsic at
catch weights has been decided upon as
May and the two lightweights will
box ten rounds before the Pacific Ath-
letic club at the Cabin.

LOS ANGELES EVADEs A
FAMINE OF LANTERNS

Contracts for Japanese lanterns in
many of the coast cities where the fleet
Is to be received depended on a large
order that was supposed to be on the
way to San Francisco on the Manchu-
ria. But the arrival of that steamer
revealed not single lantern in its car
go, consequently the coast cities have
been facing a lantern famine.
Chairman Humphreys of the decorat-
ing committee said yesterday that Los
Angeles had been fortunate and that
she would have her full quantity of
lanterns. In all $500 will be used in
the decorated and Illuminated district.
Four thousand of thiA Lumber are here
and the remainder is assured.
The contractors for placing the dec
orations are now at work and wires
and sockets have been strung for 1000
incandescent lights IN Central park.
On Spring and Broadway the festoons
for the lanterns are being hung and
the wires for the big flags are being
put up. An army of men will be at
work next week to finish the work
ahead Of the necessary time.
