THE LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 9 1891-
WARMED OVER WIT.
Mr. Sheldon Borden's Immanuel Church
Lecture Last Night.
The Immanuel church series of an
nonymous lectures was completed lest
night when Mr. Sheldon Borden de
livered his lecture, Warmed Over Wit.
The largest audience of the series was
present, and smiled and laughed appre
ciatively as the various specimens of the
wit of the famous author, not forgetting
specimens of Mr. Borden's own.
The musical part of the programme
consisted of an exceptionally good violin
solo by Miss Pearson, and a vocal solo by
Tom Rowan, which were much appre
ciated.
The ladies, in whose interests the lec
tures have been held, have ' realized
about $200 from the series, and after the
lecture last evening the following reso
lutions were read and adopted by the
audience as they had been adopted by
the ladies in the afternoon:
Resolved, That our sincere apprecia
tion of the kindness shown by each and
every one in any way connected with the
course of lectures so thoughtfully ar
ranged for and carried out, should be
more formally expressed than has been
done.
To this end, to the ladies and gentle
men who have come, at the sacrifice of
time and personal ease, and gratuitously
contributed such a rare musical treat as
has been enjoyed each evening, we de
sire to convey our own most grateful
thanks.
To the "mystic five," who, that they
might ease the burden of debt resting
upon the society, concocted the course
of anonymous lectures, and these de
lightful "rambles in the fields and by
ways of literature, humor, poetry and
the drama, we are indebted for so much
it is hard to find words in which to
couch our acknowledgments.
To renew our acquaintance with
Messrs. McGinty and Macbeth —to learn
something more of the inner life of fair
Annie Rooney, with her auburn hair;
to listen to the weird plaintive notes of
the lost bugle; to know how noble and
ignoble genius can be, when authors
give their opinions of each other; to
have wit rekindled, and old jokes made
as good as new, constitutes a repertoire
of which the Ladies Aid society are very
proud. *r
To the chairman who has so faith
fully discharged his somewhat delicate
duties, the ladies feel they owe much,
but as no one stands higher than he, it
only remains for them to say, "God
bless us every one." n

NAUGHTY MATTIE.
AN INCORRIGIBLE GIRL COMMITTED
TO THE WHITTIER SCHOOL.
The Story of Her Dissolute Lite—Her Ar
rest by Officer Farmer at Charles
Smith's Shell Store.
Mattie Lawson, an incorrigible, was
committed to the Whittier reform school
yesterday by Judge Smith for a term of
three years. The girl, who is but 13
years of age, has been so unfortunate as
to have a dissolute mother and no father,
and for the past year and a half has
been left pretty much to herself to do as
she pleased and support herself as best
she might. The natural consequence
has been that she went to the bad long
ago and associated with boys and even
grown men, who have not been careful
to respect her tender age in fulfilling
their desires.
Mattie has been brought before the
courts a number of times by policemen
who were cognizant of her mode of life,
and has on several occasions been com
mitted to the care of the girls' home,
from which she invariably escaped. A
month ago she was arrested and handed
over to the care of Mrs. Watson by one
of the police judges, to await the open
ing of the institution at Whittier. The
girl had not been in confinement many
days, however, before she ran away.
Having located her at the store of
Charles Smith, an old man who keeps a
curiosity shop on Main street, near the
corner of lhird, Mrs.Watson on Tuesday
had her again taken in custody by Officer
Farmer, and yesterday she was brought
into court and committed to the reform
school.
When the Lawson girl escaped from
Mrs. Watson last, about two weeks ago,
she went directly to Smith's shop, and
was traced there by her mother. On the
night of June 25th Mrs. Lawson came to
the police station and asked for an offi
cer to assist in rescuing her daughter
from Smith, whom she said was acting
in an improper manner with the child.
The woman was told to go back to the
place and watch, and if she saw any
thing positively criminal to come back
to the station and report the fact. The
woman went away, but returned later
and said that Smith had taken the child,
into his bed room —for no good purpose,
she was convinced. The girl was not
apprehended till Tuesday last, however,
as stated before.
A Herald reporter went to the county
jail last evening for the purpose of
questioning Mattie Lawson as to the al
leged intimacy between herself and old
man Smith. When asked if the state
ments were true, she denied that she
had ever beeu ill-treated by him, but
added : "I wouldn't tell you if I had."
Smith himself, having heard the sto
ries circulating about him, became very
much excited yeßterday, and asked to be
taken before a physician to prove that
age had rendered him incompetent to
commit such a crime.
A. Foyen, proprietor of the Chicago
White laundry, which adjoins thes hell
store, when interviewed yesterday, said
that while he could not state positively
that anything was wrong, he had seen
some very suspicious things about old
man Smith's behavior. A number of
little girls, all of about Matties age,
were in the habit of visiting him and
going into his bedroom, sometimes at
rather late hours of the night.
The case is surely one that demands
attention, and if the suspected man fs
guilty of the crimes with which he is
charged he should receive the punish
ment he merits, and if not he should be
cleared from the horrible charges.
Boils and pimples and other affections aris
ing from impure bled may appear at this sea

rilla removes the cause of these troubles by
purifying, vitalizing and enriching the blood,
and at the same time it gives strength to the
whole system.
The Anheuser-Busch saloon, on Main street,
opposite the Baker block, has been closed by
the owner, Chas. Bauer, because of the falliDg
off of business in that vicinity.

HE HAS COME AT LAST.
Our Old Friend the Sea Serpent Visits
Long Beach.
Long Beach has finally completed her
list of attractions; she has a sea serpent.
There is nothing now of which the most
noted eastern resorts can boast that
Long Beach cannot supply, from five
cent beer to the monster of the deep.
This particular serpent, besides, is not
one of the kind that is seen many miles
off by a fishing party out at- sea, and
grows a foot with every stroke of the
oar on the way home, but has been cap
tured, a portion of it at least, brought
ashore and put on exhibition.
The capture was made by Judge Wid
ney—after the beast was dead and rolled
ashore by the surf. It is described us
having an immense body, a long neck
and a large head. The body is adorned
with a great many flippers and a stub
tail, and the whole animal is about fif
teen feet long. The head only of the
animal was secured, as the surf washed
it ashore, but anxious watchers are on
the lookout for the rest of the animal.
It is said to be a bona-fide cariosity.
THE BUGGY WAS SMASHED,
But the People and Horse Escaped
Serious Injury.
After the Colton local train of the
Southern Pacific left Pomona yesterday
afternoon, at a road crossing, the engine
struck a buggy containing Professor anc
Mrs. Brannan, of Claremont college
The buggy was smashed into match
wood, Professor Brannan and Mrs.
Brannan being thrown in different di
rections, and the horse in another. On
counting injuries after the affair was al
over the buggy was found to be the
worst damaged of the outfit. Mrs.
Brannan and the professor were some
what bruised and badiy frightened,
while the horse escaped without injury
The accident was not at all the fault o
the engineer.

PEOPLE'S STORE.
Thursday, July 9, 1891.
The Reason Why !
It always affords us great pleasure to offer our patrons and the public at large
the best the market affords for the least money. It has always been our aim to
do so, and it always will be. It is a very common occurrence to hear people say,
if you go to the PEOPLE'S STORE you'll be sure to find just what you want, for
in no one establishment is there a more complete stock of merchandise carried
than in our mammoth stores. We are often asked by our friends: "Does it pay
to carry such an enormous stock ?" Of course it does, for we would not carry it
if the trade did not demand it. The secret of our success is that we carry every
thing we have calls for. If we have calls for goods we do not keep, the next mail
east carries our order for them.
Below you'll find a list of some of the many bargains we offer you today. This
is not one-hundredth part of them. Be sure to come in and see them. It cer
tainly will repay you.
