Mrs. Buckingham's Reception.
On Saturday evening, May Ist, at tbe
parlors of tbe Baptist Church a recep
tion was tendered Mrs. W. W. Buck
ingham, tbe gifted soprani of Buffalo,
New York, by the ladies of the congre
gation in recognition of her valuable ser
vices in promoting and assisting at the
late very successful "International
Fete" given under their auspices, Tbey
also wished to mark their appreciation
of the ready generosity with which she
has lent her glorious voice duriug her
stay in Los Angeles, whenever needed
iv the cause of charity or religion. The
ladies were kindly aided by some of the
finest musical talent in the city. To the
request that Mrs. Buckingham would
favor the company with one of her
choice selections, that lady graoefully
responded by singing with inimitable
taste and power Millard's "Longing,"
and on being encored gave that charm
ing and sprightly tittle ballad "Tit for
Tat." At the close of the song Mrs.
Buckingham was conducted to a chair of
state and crowned "Queen of the May,"
twenty little misses aiugin« to graceful
evolutions "Tho Rosy Crown," and
dropping tributes of flowers at ber feet.
Tbe gracious hospitality dispensed by
the Baptist ladies was one of the enjoy,
able features of the occasion. The una
voidable absence of Mr. W. W. Buck
ingham, owing to the late railroad
waahont, was the only regretable cir
cumstance. The day being the anniver
sary of their marriage, his presence
would have greatly enhanced the happi
ness of all. The entertainment was one
of artistic and social pleasure and will
long be remembered by the favored ones
present.
What Locality is Exempt
From malaria? In city and suburb, in
village and hamlet, iv tbe mining dis
tricts or tbe west, in the low lands of
tbe south, in regioua teeming with the
fruite of husbandry, in trackless wastes
inhabited by half-naked savages, it ex
ists. But travelers, sojourners, old set
tlers, all who are liable to it, can uproot
from the system tbe diseases to which it
gives birth or prevent them by Hostet
ter's Stomach Bitters. Chills and fever,
bilious remittent, dumb ague aod ague
cake are each and all overcome by this
potent and searching specific. It is not
less efficacious for liver complaint, dys
pepsia and costiveness, ailments not un
frequently complicated with malarial
attacks. Rheumatism, kidney and blad
der troubles and a want of vital strength
are also remediable by its persistent use.
Appetite and sleep always seriously im
paired by the nervous disturbance and
biliousness consequent upon fever and
ague, are invariably restored by the
Bitters.

A Captain's Fortunate Discovery
Capt. Coleman, schr. Weymouth, ply
ing between Atlantic City and New
York, had been troubled with a cough
so that he was unable to sleep, and was
induced to try Dr. King's New Discov

him inntant relief but allayed the ex

dard remedy in the Coleman household

The State Board of Equalization.
Mr. John Markley, a member of the
State Board of Equalisation, aud Mr.
John P. Dunn, State Comptroller and
ex officio, a member of the Board, are
here on their annual visit. In a conver
sation with the Herald reporter yester
day Mr. Markley gave the methods pur
sued hy the S:ate Board, which cannot
fail to be interesting to readers of this
journal. Mr. Markley by the way is
from Salinas, Monterey county, where
his was County Clerk for several torms.
Each year the members of tbe botrd,
single or hi pairs, visit the county seat
of uearly every county in tbe aia'e to
ascertain the value ef property. 'i'h«* : r
methods sre to go through as many up
praise meats of estates as they are able,
aud then to get the aotual figures at
which administrators'sales are made dur
ing the preceding cjuple of years. A third
o.acs of data they get from mortgages
made to banks. Tut* rule with banks is
to lend from 40 per cent, to 00 per oent.
of thf value of property. The mem
bers of the Board also make a careful
survey of sales for the previous year.
This they trust to less than the other
elements. Anything like a boom they
try to discount in their work. Then
they confer, wbeuever they are permit
ted to do so, with the Assessor and Re
corder of eaoh county, and also with
prominent citizens, so far as they can,
so as to gather prevailing views upon
the situation. Taking all these to Sac
ramento tbey carefully tabulate tbe
whole of their gleanings aud make a
comparison of the assessments of the
counties.
Mr. Markley thinks the property
should be classified and that tbe boom
should be allowed to raise county assess
ments by classes. He instances a case
where all the sheep in a certain couuty
were assessed at $1 a head, while in all
the adjoining counties they were en
tered at $1.60. Here was a ease they
could not reach by the present method.
As to the absolute ratio of assessment
Mr. Markley thinks 72 to 75 per cent ut
actual value is about the pivot round
which the assessment generally revolves
in tbe several counties. In onecaae last
year tbey found a county which they
considered assessed at 98 per cent, of its
actual value. They lowered it 20 per
cent, so as to bring it about the level of
the rest of tbo State. Ah to assessing
the whole State up to actual value tbey
find it would neceasitate the reconstruct
ing of all tbo assessed values of the
State. This would cost a great deal of
time and money. So they try to act as
a court of equity in the matter.
Last year they added $49,000,000 to
the assessment of ths State. This is 7
per cent, of the entire assessed value of
tbe State. This, of course, only affects
tbe State taxes and'makes no difference
in tbe Couuty assessment.
These gentlemen will tpend a week
here in their investigations.
By tbe way, Mr. Dunn haa a 20-acre
orange ranch at Duarte, ou which be has
been spending a week prior to coming in
yesterday to attend to tbe duties of his
office. He hopes pne day to be a citizen
of the County and take his otiuiu cum
dignitate under his own vine aud fig tree.
Dr. Quintan's Opinion of Mul
lein.
Fryer's Abietene and Verba Santa are
strictly products of California, Mullein
is a product of tbe world. Dr. Quinlan
of Dublin, in a paper read before the
Medical Congress at Copenhagen, says
that Mullein haa greater curative pow
ers than Cod Liver Oil and equal to Rus
sian Koumiss, and it has been demon
strated that Fryer's Abietene and Verba
Santa baa equal, if not greater curative
powers than Mullein. Fryer's Abietene
Cough Balaam combines the three with
other well known expectorants and nar
ootics {without opium), making it tbe
greatest and best cough medicine ever
produced. Price 75 cents. Sold by C.
F. Heinzeman.

"You may write and think me a vain
thing," writes Mrs. J. C. R., of San
Francisco tJ a friend in this city, "but
I have not a gray hair in my head, and
yet (sad to say,) lam fiity and a day.
Recently my hair was not only quite
S-ay but quite thin, too. Parker's Hair
alsam—ruade in New* York I think—
did wonders for me. Try it if you have
occasion. It really does what I aay and
restores the color also." Not a dye, not
greasy, highly perfumed. Only reliable
50 cent dressing.
Turnverein Annual Picnic and
Ball.
Tbe German citizens of Los Angeles
were out in great force last Sunday.
Dnring the daytime they were all up in
tbe grove in the Arroyo Seco, where
out-door sports and games were indulged
in. Tbe Turner boys gave a tine exhibi
tion of their skill, for which pr.sea were
awarded to the beet competitors. A
royal time it was all round, such as the
Turners' annual picnics invariably are.
In the evening all assembled at Turn
verein Hall, where good music was pro
vided and dancing ruled the merry
hoars until past midnight

A Curious Cause.
Some mouths ago a citizen of Los An
geles who lives east of the river, was for
several weeks greatly troubled with an
obstinate case of catarrh, which woulduot
give way to medical treatment. It ended
in laying him up in bed decidedly sick.
During the progress of the ailment bis
hair fell on from all parts of hi* body.
It would be impossible to exaggerate in
thia statement, so absolutely did every
thing in tbe form of a hair fall from
every portion of his body. His entire
skin is as free from all hirsute growth as
is the palm of one's hand. With the de
parture of his hair returned his health.
Despise Not the Day of Small
Things.
Little things may help a man to rise—
a bent pin in an easy chair, for instance.
Dr. Pierces "Pleasant Purgative Pel
leU" are little things, pleasant to take,
and they oure sick headachee, relieve
torpid livers and do wonders. Being
purely vegetable they cannot barm any

The Catching Concert.
One of the moat enjoyable concerts we
have attended in Los Augeles was that
given by Mra, Catching on Wednesday
evening. Mrs. Catching was assisted by
ber pupils and by others of our musi
cians. Her pupils without exception re
flected great credit upon their instructor.
Eapecial mention should be made of
the vocal solo so pleasingly and delicate
ly rendered hy Mrs. Catching, "Una
Voce Poco Fa," a* also of the piano duet
executed by Mrs. Catching and Professor
Schaua, and the violin solo hy Professor
Schaus. Mr. Wallace* splendid bass
tones in a "Mariner's Home by the Sea,"
made all true lovers of old oce<in long for
the "broad, deep sea."
The four misses who rendered "Silver
Trumpets" showed themselves quite mas
ters of tbe undertaking. Miss Metcalf
acquitted herself quite creditably iv a
VOOal aolo, aa did also Miss Witmer,
especially in "A Mile of Edinboro'."
given as an encore.
A comical quartette, by Messrs
Snooks and Pendleton, Mrs. Browu and
M iss Witmer, entitled 11 Professor at
Home," gave a pleasing variety ,to an
otherwise classical programme.
Other uumbers on tbe programme
were a piano aolo by Mian Metcalf and v
piano quartette by Misses Metcalf, Gas
sen, Kinney and Whitlock.
The moat striking as aiao the crowning
performance of the evening was the ren
dering of Haydn's "Toy Symphony in
Three Movements," by sixteen young
ladies and eight misses. None who
heard it will soon forget the "sweet and i
low" of the ouckoo, or the "song of the
blackbird."
The entire class showed careful train
ing and no smalt degree of proficiency.
Mrs. Catching is an artist. Her manner
ia pleasing, free from affectation and con
ceits, and may with propriety be studied
by her pupils as a model.
Cercle Francais Dance.
Sunday night the old Merced Theater,
on Main street near the Pico House, was
packed to its fullest capacity. The oc
casion for this gathering was a grand
ball given by the Cercle Francais, at
which nearly the whole Frenoh colony
was present. Dancing was tbe main
feature of tbe evening, for which fine
music had beeu provided. There was tv
addition a nice literary programme per
formed, including a tittle dramatic mot
ceau, which was well done. Tbe even
ing was delightfully passed.

"Liquid Bread"-A New and Val
uable Remedial Agent.
Among the recent great discoveries oi
science the preparation known a
"L quid Bread" is just now attracting
wide-spread attention among medical
men and tbe public generally. It is an
absolutely pure extract of malt and has
proved to be tbe most valuable tonio
and remedial beverage which has yet
been introduced. It has a very low
alcoholic basis, less than three per cent,
combined with very high sugar, albumi
noid and cellulose constituents, tbe
whole forming a beverage which in a
most remarkable degree builds up the '
system, restores the appetite and curea
impaired digestive power. Tne leading :
physicians of this country and Europe
indorse this pr< parrtton in a most un- i
qualified manner and their certificates 1
show that they couaider it one of the
most valuable remedies of the present 1
age. It acts as a touic and mild stimu
lant, and is a complete substitute for |
the ordinary alcoholic beverages. It >
positively cures dyspepsia and restores '
vigor in cases of nervous debility as .
nothing cUe can. "Liquid Bread" has {
been introduced ou this Coast and 1
throughout the country by James A.
Pillaburry, representing David Nichol- !
son, the proprietor, Ht. Louis. Messrs
E. J. Walton & Co., 16 Hcqucna street, .

NOTICE TO
Buyers and Sellers
O P
REAL ESTATE.
A great many to whom this article refers,
Imagine they can save money by avoiding
even the Ins>l posted and moßt reliable Real
Estate .1 .■: ■ -. We know of many inatauoes
where the economizing, cautious buyer,
having quietly hunted up hisewn purchase,
paid double the price tbat we could have
sold him equally as good property adjoin
Ing, owned by parties who mutt tell.
Inexperienced men are constantly going
in and out of the real estate busineaa who
make a failure from a want of a knowledge
of It. They often unintentionally mislead
buyers into bad speculations, w Idle many
of the irresponsible, speculating curbstone
brokers, having uo office reut to pay, aod
avoiding the lawful license, will advise the
buyer into any kind of speculations to make
commissions, or will try to break up any
sale where they arc not interested. Many
new-coming purchasers can testify to this
after they see their mistake.
We have been la the reel estate business
for over twenty-five years, and claim to be
thoroughly posted as to valuea, and a gen
eral knowledge of the business In every de
tail, and bellevethat there is noplace where
a full knowledge ia aa important aa In thia
county, with Hs various kinds of soil, and
short distances, affected by climate, alti
tude, and location.
We do not take property for sale held
above its market value We are, therefore,
prepared to lay before the buyer all kinds
of city or country property as low, it not
cheaper, than they can be had elsewhere,
and some at great speculations. We cannot
recall to mind, within the past two years, a
single instance where the purchaser bought
ob our judgment, thst he has not received,
or could not get. an advance from ten per
annum ro three times its cast.
II required,we can give as reference some
ol the best business men and firms or this
city, as to our business standing and man
ner of attending to the same.
