two-gallon demijohn of port wine, and
entreated the liateners to the Band of
Hope, to "drink of the blood of the
Lamb." Some of the audience seized
the opportunity, and there would have
been several individuala loaded with
"blood" had these curioua communion
services not been interferred with.
When firat remonstrated with, Cal
vetti got highly indignant and proposed
to defend hia position in the manner of
the church militant. He and bis jug of
port wine were therefore dragged to the
police station.

IN SOCIETY.
•
Woodbury Business College ball was
well filled Friday evening with the
friends and patrons of the college, it
being the occasion of another of their
popular socials. Although the weather
was not agreeable, at the opening of the
exercises tbe reception hall was well
filled, with many standing. The young
lady and gentlemen students exercised
much good taste in decorating the room
with ferns, flowers, etc., and had suc
ceeded in making it present a very
pleasing appearance to the eye of the
visitor.
The programme was well selected and
consisted of a piano solo ably executed
by Mr. E. K. Nicholson and a humorous
recitation, Sandy Mac Donald's Signal,
which was well rendered by Mr. J. M.
Leach. This was followed by a guitar
and banjo duet by Meesrs. H. W. Masac
and T. F. Stasaforth. Miss Pearly
Gleason recited The Polish Boy in a
most creditable manner. Mr. Masac
followed with a banjo solo, which was
very pleasing to the audience. Mrs.
Davidson, a teacher of elocution from
Sioux City, lowa, recited a scene from
Nicholas Nickelby. Mrs. Davidson is
undoubtedly a lady of much talent and
Bhowed her ability in the presentation
of this difficult recitation. Misa Pearly
Gleaaon'a Bong the College BaaebailClub
brought much applause from the audi
ence.
After the concluaion of the programme
the audience indulged in a grand
promenade and a general good time.

AMUSEMENTS.
The opera house will be open at a
matinee thia afternoon and performance
thia evening by the Griamer-Daviea
company. For the matinee they will
present the cornedv-drama,The Burglar,
written by Augustus Thomas, author of
Alabama, and in the evening the do
mestic comedy-drama, Ferncliff, which
haa been very successful in the east.
The atory of the play ia a atory of the
war. It ia a war play, with a atriking
peculiarity; there is no fighting, no bat
tle scene, the acting of the drama taking
place at Newport, R. I. The plot ia
Baid to be very intereating, telling a
atory of love and brotherly devotion,
with well developed acenea and strongly
handled climaxes, and the sentiment of
a hearty and honeat character.
Roland Reed will appear at the
Los Angelea theater for a run of three
nighte, commencing Thurßday evening;
the management make the following
claim for the player and hia plays:
The play ia of French origin, but it ia
admirably adapted and the humor ia
not only apontaneoua but American.
Mr. Reed has a part exactly suited to
the quaint, dry, droll fun of which he ia
showing himself a maater —that of a
Maine aea captain with a pretty daught
er and a handsome nephew who are in
love with each other. But Captain Tar
box Bhipa his nephew off to New York
with an allowance and an order to marry
aomebody elee. Dick, the nephew,
writea to hia uncle that he haa married,
not expecting the captain ever to visit
New York, but tbe unexpected happena
and Dick ia compelled to borrow the
wife and baby of hia friend, Tom Bunt
ing, to avoid detection. Scarcely ia the
arrangement concluded when Captain
Tarbox and hia daughter, Hitty, arrive
at Bunting'a honee, believing it to be
the nephew's. Then the trouble be
gins.
The burden of the fun-making, aa a
matter of course, devolves upon Mr.
Reed. In the first act it ia not nearly
ao apontaneoua aa in the second, the lat
ter being productive of a perfect cyclone
of laughter. But the young atar, by a
make-up that ia singularly picturesque,
not touching in any way upon the gro
tesque, and a facial expression that in
itself tells part of the atory, manages to
extract a great deal of amusement for
tbe audience out of the odd entangle
ments with which the play begins and
the complexing situations that he man
ages to make all the more complex.
The management of the Grand opera
house announce that the tragedian, Mr.
Frederick Warde, and hia company will
play an engagement of four nights and
Saturday matinee, commencing Wednes
day, March 2d. On Wedneaday night
and at the Saturday matinee Mr. Warde
will produce The Lion'a Mouth, on
Thursday The Mountebank, on Friday
Richard 111. and on Saturday Damon
and Pythias.
What folly! To be without Bbschak's Pills.
A NEW MUSICAL INVENTION.
IS IT AN ORGAN OR A PIANO?
All the objections to the parlor organ are at last done away with by this new
invention. It has seven full octaves, and looks exactly like a fine upright piano.
There are no stops in view, and the instrument ia worked by two pedals exactly
like thoae on a piano, and a 6-year-old child ia able to work them with ease. The
delicacy and variety of ita tonea are wonderful, and the touch ao light and quick
that the moßt difficult piano pieceB can be executed thereon without difficulty. It
is a marvelous improvement upon the parlor organ, and has created a great sensa
tion in muaical circlea. The price ia not very much higher than that of the
ordinary organ. Thia delightful instrument ia for sale only at

IS MAHER GAME?
An Intelligent Pugilist Talks About
Hard Knocks.
The question as to Peter Maher's
gameneßS is a matter of public concern,
says the New York Sun, and today the
Irish champion is not such a favorite in
his match with Bob Fitzsimmons aa he
waa a week ago. *An incident goea to
prove thia. On Monday laat when a
prominent better heard that another
man wanted to lay $1200 on Fitzgim
mona againat $2000 on Maher, the form
er made up hia mind that he would
take that chance. On coming together
thia converaation took place:
"I hear you will bet $2000 on Maher
against $1200 on Fitzsimmons. Is that
right?"
"Well, I was thinking of it, but,
really, it ought to be even money."
"Humph! You've changed your
mind. Well, I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'll bet you $1500 against $2000."
"No; I want even money."
There was more haggling, but the bet
at even was finally made for $1000. Men
who want to put out their money,
though they like Maher'e style, cannot
see tbat the Irishman has done any
thing to prove himself a stayer, and
they believe that Fitzsimmons can hit
as hard aa most men new in the ring.
If he landa a time or two Maher will
feel something that will call out the
pluck of the pluckieat, and there ia no
body to say that Peter haa shown that
he belonga in the gamecock class.
After the above bet waa made, Jack
Quinn, the Scotch light-weight cham
pion, who waa preaent, said something
that ia worth noting. Quinn ia an ob
servant and level-headed chap, who
generally speaks sensibly.
"The fact that a man trains hard,"
aaid he, "ia no evidence that he ia game.
He may be naturally energetic. Hia
mind may be of the kind that requires
physical action to counteract ita work
ings. I mean that a man may be
nervoua and excitable—hia blood may
have a feverish tendency—and such a
person, when of an athletic disposition,
naturally wants to go and do something
to expend his surplus energy. That sort
of a display has nothing to do with
courage under a punching. The man
may be young, strong, hearty, but a blow
landed in the right spot by an ex
perienced and powerful opponent will
knock a good deal of that vigor out of
him, and two or three blows may do
him up completely unless he possesses
something more than the characteristic
which I may describe as restless activity.
I have known men to take a terrible lot
of punching before yielding victory. I
don't mean lazy men. I mean men whose
life and activity are brought out only
under a stresß of circumstances, such as
a good thumping. Under these condi
tions I have seen men who take plenty
of time to do everything they under
take, brighten up in an astonishing way
and fight like tigers. The stuff was in
them, but it was latent. It required an
unusual occasion to bring it out.
"On tbe other hand, there are uiin
who, while in training, as well as in
their every day avocations, perform
their duties with a rush and earnest
ness so great that it might be called
fiery. Often it is only nervousness, and,
in reality, a sign oi weakness that will
certainly display itself when the true
test of endurance comes. In a word, a
man may train with all faithfulness and
honesty, but, on the receipt of a weak
ening blow, go to pieceß. He cannot
train on blows, so he cannot get used to
them. To withstand them he must
have a something under the skin of his
left breast whose quality is never dis
covered until he goes up against a good
drubbing. Ido not mean all thia to ap
ply to Peter Maher particularly. lam
simply stating a general principle. But,
after all, of what use is all the training
in the world if a fellow gets the right
kind of a amaah here?" and Jack placed
a finger on hia jawbone alongside hia
chin.
THE SAN FRANCISCO TEAM.
The Players Who Will Battle for
Harris.
Here is a shy at the make-up of the
San Franciaco club for 1892, and I think
that the latter-day developments will
ahow that the prediction is not far out
of the way, says a writer in Pacific
Field Sporta. The team will be as fol
lowa: Spies, catcher; Hoffman and
Hart, pitchera; Pete Sweeney, firat
base; James P. Bonaparte Sharp, sec
ond base; Reitz, third baee; Dave
Coughlin, shortstop; outfielders, Levy,
Sweeney and another player yet to be
secured, who will be able to do a trick
behind the plate. lam pretty sure that
all of these players, with the exception
of Hart and Coughlin, have been aigned,
but Manager Harria will not say so just
now. Pete Sweeney, very probably,
will captain the team. Harria will not
send east for another catcher, but will
aign a local man, and from what I can
understand that man will not be "Pop"
Swett. "Pop" haa been released from
reservation, and that would certainly
eeem as though he ia not wanted. The
other 'Frisco men who have been re
leased from reservation are Cartwright,
Blauvelt and Nick Smith.
Harris has not decided whether to
get a shortstop or third baseman. If
he gets a short fielder be will play Reitz
at third and the latter will go to short
if a guardian of bag 3 is engaged. The
local manager haß been dickering with
Dave Ooughlin, who is a brother of Ros
coe the pitcher, and it is likely that he
may come here. He is a third baseman
and a good one. Up to a few days ago
all that stood as an obstacle to pitcher
Hart's engagement was his demand for
a free transportation from St. Louis.
He had accepted Harris' terms, which
were pretty steep, I believe, but like the
average ball tosser wanted to travel out
here at the expense of hiß manager.
He is reputed to be a tip top pitcher and
Harris' team will be very strong in the
box if Hait is landed.
Harris was so determined to c et
pitcher Jack Fanning for his team that
he concluded the negotiations with the
pitcher and the latter signed a San
Francisco contract. Then the manager
began investigating the claim that the
]' Pacific-Northwest league had on Fan-
I ning's services for this season. Fanning
was reserved by the northern club with
which he played last season. Harris
doubted the club's right to reserve the
pitcher and telegraphed to N. E. Young
about the matter. Mr. Youug answered
that the Pacific-Northwest league had
the right to reserve its players. That
settled the matter and Fanning was in
formed that under the circumstances he
would not be wanted by the 'Frisco club.

A Little Boy Killed by a Motor Line
Train.
Special Correspondence of the Hbkald. |
Colton, Feb. 21.
Milchey Altman, a 7-year-old boy, son
of Mrs. Altman,.cook at the Marlbor
ough hotel, was instantly killed this
morning. He attempted to board the
Motor train while it was in motion, and
fell between the cars; the wheels ran
over his head, crushing it terribly. The
mother iB crazed with grief. No blame
can be attached to the Motor company
or trainmen.
The exhibits at the citrus fair will be
completed in time for the opening at 7
p. m. tomorrow evening. A large force
worked until 12 o'clock last night and
made rapid progress, so that tomorrow
will give ample time to arrange all the
exhibits and puton the finishing touches
to the decorations.
A Novel Sport.
The pleasant weather broughtquite a
number of both ladies and gentlemen
out to Mondonville yesterday, and the
clever device of having greyhounds race
after an artificial hare was greatly ap
preciated by the crowd, as the idea is
such a novel one. Mr. Flynn, the pro
prietor of Mondonville, intends having
races of this kind take place every Sun
day, and as there is no admission fee
charged, and the place being ,go well lo
cated, Mondonville promises to become
a favorite place of amusement to those
who wish to spend a pleasant Sunday
afternoon.

PEOPLE'S STORE.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1892.
The past week lias brought us lots of new
goods in every department of the house. Supe
rior classes of mercuaudise which we have
only handled in small quantities we have
elaborated on In every detail. Our experience
with the better class of goods in the past six
months has been so complimentary that we
have been induced to go into it to its fullest
extent. As oui ratio of profit is uniform, you
will find all classes of goods sold in like pro
portion. As far as price is concerned, you will
always find us under any house in town, and
if, perchance, it should happen that we are
not, we will consider it a kindness to be in
formed by our patrons, and will make our
prices even lower than any quotation men
tioned. Those of our patrons who remember
our domestic department in the center aisle of
our store, and the difficulty experienced in
reaching these counters, owing to the large
number of purchasers to be s-rved aud the
limited space, will find more accommodation
and a larger stock in new quarters, formerly
occupied by our dress goods department. It is
the height of our ambition, now that tie dress
goods aud silk stocks are moved to the center
aisles, to line these counters with as eager and
expectant patrons purchasing silks and dress
goods as were formerly wont to occupy the
ssme space buying cotton fabrics. It requires
time, but with the inducements that we hold
out it must eventually come.
We shall offer a line of 4b' inch plaid wool
dress goods in gray effects; you will find tbem
to be the cheapest merchandise ever sold by
any establishment In the known world; mind
the wiath, one yard and a quarter, and tbe
price will be
25c
This is an item that should call out every
lady in Los Angeles that has any wants in the
■ way of good dress goods for 25c per yard; as
we are desirous of having this go as fur hs pos
sible, and only having a limited quantity, we
must resirlct tho purchase to eight yards for
any one purchaser.
The next inducement to visit our stores • arly
Monday morning off-red by the dre;s goods de
partment is a line of 40 inch all wool, solid
colored, s ilk finished henriettas and serges,
the value of which raoged from $1.25 to 11.50
per yard; these goods could not be imported lor
$1 per yard. Owing to the limited quantity
we have of them, and wishing them to go as
far as postihle, we must restrict the purchase
to 10 yards for any single person, Price,
75c
Considering the quality of these goods, and
they a so come 'n back, we must say that at
75c per yard th ,y are even a greater value than
the first item at 25c.
You all know what the French aU wool chal
lie is, and you know the price is just aa staple
as it is on calico; there is less money in hand
ling these goods at the regular prices of 05c
and 75c per yard than there fs in selling cot
ton flannel; we will place them on sale Mon
day at
40b
We will call your attention to the fact that
the colored dress goods which we had on sale
during the past week will remain so during the
present one, and those who were unable to get
to town owing to the Inclement weather have
an opportunity to avail themselves of this offer.
In black dre«s goods there is not a house in
the state of California that can show you the
quality for the money that we quote. We com
mence our line at 15c for half wool serges and
henriettas. At 35c you buy a French imported
cashmere or serge, 36 to 40 inches wide, all
wool: we could not land these goods for 40c in
New York. At SOc you are buying a quality
that we always got 75c for. At 75c we sell jou
the line th*t we always got 98c,for, and it em
braces all wool serges, henriettas, fancy novel
ty black goods, sili fancy drop d'alma. We
tell you the truth when we say these goods can
never be replaced for the money we are selling
them at.
For 98n we are selling you our $1.60 quality
of black silk warp henrletta. our black silk
warp glorias, our silk finish fancy serges and
henriettas, 46 inches wide.
At 85c we sell you a line of fancy novelty
dress goods, 42 inches wide; they arrived yes
terday, are tho very newest creations •< nd under
other circumstances we could not offer to sell
them under $1 25 per yardv
In colored and figured India silks we are sell
ing a line of 24 Inch at 45c. We do net want
to confuse thnse goods with the quality tbat is
being sold at and which will not hold a
thread. The latter is the cheapest made. We
won't have it in our house. In purchasing
silks, no matter whether they are ours or oth
ers, always try the strength of the material,
and you will find these cheap silks are nothing
but tissue paper. The silk we offer you is a
grade that was sold at 65c, and we warrant
these goods to give wear and satisfaction. In
selling our silks, dress goods or any fabric in
the house wa do so with an implied guarantee

somest printed fndia silks that you have ever
seen, and certainly the best Value for the
money ever offered in Los Angeles.
At 98c a lineof sublime printed India silks.
We have heretofore declined to sell them at
$1.24 because actual comparison with any
thing iv this town has proven them to be '/5c
per yard cheaper than the closest competition;
a number of patrons inform ub that they can
buy a similar qusltity at th 9 same price; to be
lower than the lowest we have marked them at
98c
We would advise our friends that at 98c this
is the cheapest piece of silk we have in our
stock. We are offering specially a line of col
ored surahs of sublime quality at 50c per

you candidly that we cannot replace them

circumstances, been merchandise, such as we
have mentioned above, quoted at these prices.

them to sell at

Sateens, as well as new material called wash

thing that iB kept in a drug store not necessary
to the compounding o( prefcrlplions at cut

famous cut prices. Next you go to our hosiery

reference to what we intend to do in millinery.
Consiuering the volume that we use here, as
well as in San Francisco, we have determined
to sell millinery this teason at the same prices
tbat the Jobbers Bell the retailers. You can
readily understand when we tell you thai in
San Francisco and here we sell more millinery
than all other millinery stores in Los Angeles
combined. Ail we ask you is to give us a look,
then go anywhere you please, and if our mer
chandise is not cheaper, of course you will buy
elsewhere. This is to be a season of small
shapes with little conical crowns, and a good
deal of chiD is used with fancy lace effects and
braids. It is to be a very large lace and flower
year, and colors are to be worn exclusively. It
Is as it should be, as black is certainly too som
ber aud dark for our semi tropical and flowery
country.

money.

be manufactured at prices, $1.50, $1.75, $2.50,

of the size they prefer waiting if possible until
they arrive. We are here to do business and to
sell you the best merch-ndise for the least
