A CHARITY BALL
Miss Terpsichore's Offering
to the Poor Ques
fioned.
VIEWS Of THE MATTER.
Methodist Ministers Issue a
Manifesto Condemning This
Social Function.
WORK OF GOOD WOMEN.
A Controversy at to tha Proposed Ball
to Bs aivea by the Charitable
Women or the Assist
ance League.
About • year »■;■> some earneat women,
well-known and active members of aoci
sty, realizing tbat tbere waa much real
need and dire want in tbe community
that waa not being reached by tbe regu
lar charitable organ izntious, formed an
saaociation called tbe Aiaiatanoe league,
which met one day each week at the
bousea of the members in turn, paid a
regular amount at eauh meeting and re»
ported new oases, or work done on cases
already undertaken. The little band
|rew in numbers, but tbe avenues wbicb
opened where assistance was needed
grew in greater proportion, and last
ipring a butterfly tea wae given which
netted a comfortable amount tbat, with
the weekly and monthly subscriptions,
and one or two other sources ol income,
helped tbo league witb its work through
tbe summer.
A membership was bought in the
Associated Charities, that cases could
ha investigated through the superior
sdvantngon tbe latter organization bas
at its commnnil, and with unflagging
stl'ort and conscientious zeal the league
has performed its sell-imposed tasks
until, a few weeks ago, it was found
necessary to raise more money in order
to carry on tbe work properiy through
Dim winter.
for a charity ball were
therefore commenced, aud, as baa tieen
announced in these columns from time
to time, all bas goue well; and the re
mit, which promises to exceed tbe wild
est hopes of the managers or their as
sistants, will be realized on Friday
night. The lollowing unmes will vouch
for the standard of the organization,
sud any of the many mouths that have
been fed by these women will speak for
tiie irue Onriuian spirit tbat prompts
Ihe r work :
Mmes. Fred T. Griffiths, president,
F. IC. Alnswortli, Charles J. Kllis, Q.
Wiley Wells. O li. Churchill, J. F.
Bartori, Hugh Vail, J, S. Vosburg, J.
H. F. Feck, J. H, Utley, W. B. Cline,
J. K. Cook, F. S. HickS, A. Junes;
Misses Aldan, Childs, Cash, Wede
meyor, Van Dyke, Eaeton. These are
some of tbe league's personnel, and
tliey, with others, whose names are as
well known in good works, bave in
chargs the charity ball, to be given De
cember 7th, and, in regard to wbicb,
the Methodist preaohers of this city, at
their meeting on Monday, saw fit to
pas* the following resolution:
"Resolved. That the Los Angeles
Methodist Preachers' association look
with great disfavor upon the proposed
charity ball, and earnestly protest
against euoh questionable means of rais
ing money for charily purposes; and we
hereby urge all our members, in the iu
teiest of our cburcb and the cause of
Christ, to have nothing to do witb it,
either in attendance or in financial sup
pot."
With a noble desire to discover where
tbe line tealiy should be drawn iv help
ing the cause of charity, a Hkuald re
repurter made inquiry yesterday of a
number of reptuable and conservative
e.itizsns of different denominations and
botb sexes, as to their opinion regard*
ing the remarkable action of these
good Methodist preachers. The adjec
tive remarkable is advised'y used,
Since tbe chaiity ball bae been given
successfully, not only in Los Angeles,
(where lor years the Ladies Benevolent
association gave successive and success
ful annual übarity balls without moles
tation or interference), but in any and
I ill cities, from time immemorial, tbe
I annual charity ball bas tlourisbed and
the receipts have been applied to tbe
cause of oharity, and up to the time of
writing neither tbe morals oi the race
■or those of tbe active participants, nor
set again of tbe passive poor, have
been noticeably changed for tbe
worse, es a result, while the latter, the
passive poor, have been in each case
materially aided iv consequence.
The answer 9 times out of 10 to tbe
question: "What do yon think oi the
Methodist proclamation." was "the
bsst free advertisement tbs bail could
have had."
"Well, what do you think the effect
will be 7"
"Effect? What is tbe usual effect of
prohibition. Many wbo otherwise
i. Wouldn't have thought o! going, wouldn't
miss it now for—well—s good deal more
.than tbe price of admission."
I "Will any Methodists dare disobey
the mandate?" This queation asked of
i a prominent churchman and conscien
tious Cbriatian, brought the anawer, 'I
don't know;' when it comes to the
nothing in heaven nor on
jearth can save them, if tbey transgress
;tiot only heaven's laws, but those tbat
'any narrow-minded son of man may be
pnclined to lay down—so the Methodist
contingent may be small, but tbare
I (must be some wbo are broad enough to
' jiave the courage ol their convictions
md will not be deterred from giving
'.heir mite in the way of admission,
•yen il they do refrain from the iniquit
ous danoe."
I "And why is dancing iniquitous?"
I "fcimply because, from a Methodist
,nd some other standpoint), it is; no
ther reason is necessary."
ils a oharity ball more demoralizing
tcept for dancing than a bazar?
This queation to a bright woman, who
as bad some experience in such things,
•ought a quick response, "Certainly
it, and ao far as dancing is concerned
loubt if even that can be more barm
,l tban Ihe raffles wbicb are a form of
tabling, but whioh prevail in all
church bazars; and as to psouniary re
sults those from a ball are quite as
likely to be satisfactory as from tbe
übiquitous but iunocuous bazar."
To another woman, a regular church
goer and a devoted mother, the question
wae put: "Do you think a charity ball
is a questionable means of raising
money ?"
"No, and I don't think a starving
woman, witb a starving family on ber
hands, will cavil at how the money is
raised tbat gives her bread, so that none
ol her brood steals it; and I tbink more
over tbat money paid to tbe managers
of tbe charity ball will do as much good
dispensed here at home, where charity
is supposed to bsgin, as it conld if sent
to the antipodes to be spent in salariss
for missionaries to convert tbe heathen."
Tbe other side of tbe question is found
below.
Rev. WILL A. Knighten's Views.
Rev. Will A. Knighten, pastor ol
Grace M. E. oharch, when ihown the
resolution, discussed the matter ai fol
ows: "I wae present at tbe Methodist
preachers' meeting when the resolution
was adopted, and while I did not write
it, I suggested several points whioh are
embodied in it.
"In the first place the Methodist
church law contains a clause forbidding
dsnoing, and for that matter all ol ibe
Protestant churches are opposed to it.
We place dancing, circuses, horse rac
ing eta., upon a common plane; oon
sider tbem as amusements whiob alter
a time bring about detrimental results.
"We inculcate tbe belief into the
children in our Sunday schools, and tbe
church's opposition to balls and all
kindred amusements, is well understood
he all »be "»op!» of onr denomination.
Wben tbe charity bail, so-called, was
first talked of we were desirous of re
minding tbe members ol our consrega
tion that they should not take part io
it (or the reasons I bave already slated.
Tbe effect of tbeir patronizing it can be
readily seen. If tbe older members of
tbe flock lend tbeir support to it it
would tend to demoralize tbe children
aud young folk, for they would surely
be tempted to follow tbe example of
tbeir elders.
-"Of course tbe Methodist church is
not opposed to charity, aud as for my
self I dispense as much as my means
will permit. Still, charity in oharity
aud not amusement. Personally, I do
not believe in giving a charity ball to
holp the noor. What is tbe inevitable
result? Those who will attend will in
many cases spend fabalous amonntii of
money for costumes, carriages and other
incidental expenses, and the least ol tbe
charity tbey think tbey are giving is
tbe prioe of tbe ticket. Out of tbe lat
ter Der capita investment comes tbe ball
rent, lighting; bill and other expenses
of tbe fete, whicb will leave but
a very small amount to be distrib
uted to tbe deserving. My desire
would be lo have those members of our
church who want to contribate to the
needy to give directly, and not lavish
the money to adorn themselves and
make a needless show, so that all may
know that they are charitably disposed.
"A dance in itsell is not at all times
objectionable. I am too liberal in my
views to take snch a stand, but no one
can deny tbat dances oltentimes lead to
disastrous results. We have tbe pros
perity and advancement, together with
the morality of onr young at heart, and
tbis is why we have opposed the
charity ball."
Rev. J. W. Campbell Speaks.
Rev. J. W. Campbell, pastor of ths
First M. E. church, was seen. He ad
mitted having read the rosolution as
published in the Herald, but he waa
not present at tbe Metbodiat ministers'
meeting which adopted it.
"You may say tbis, however, to your
readers from me: lam of the opinion
that tbe resolution wss adopted because
our church law forbids dancing and
balls. We believe that if tbe people
desire to give to tbe cause of charity
they should do so aocording to tbeir
means, but we do not think that a
charity ball is at all necessary to stimu
late tbeir generosity. Charitable deeds
at once appeal to our understanding
but we are opposed to a charity ball, as
a means to help the poor and needy, but
of the proceeds of that ball the expen
ses bave to be paid and but little will
be left to be given to those in whose
name the fete is supposed to have been
given. My personal idea ol charity
does not suggest a dress psrade. nor the
investment of large sums of money in
costly costumes wbicb perhaps can
never be worn agaio, Tbis view of the
matter was taken by the ministers at
tbeir meeting and the reaolution was
adopted.
"I knew nothing about the ball until
tbe other day when I called upon an in- 1
ffuential member of my congregation,
aud I was surprised to find that she
is one of the patronesaea of the
affair, and is taking a very prominent
part to further tbe success of the under
taking. Tbe effect will be that euoh
action will demoralize tbe young of our
church and it will be a bard matter to
have them follow the church law, and
forego dancing and kindred amusementa,
wben tbe elders set tbe paoe, and not
only attend such affairs, bnt enter heart
and soul into the undertaking from its
very inception."
Bishop Montgomery Talks.
Bishop Montgomery was shown ths
resolutions of tbe Methodist ministers,
denouncing the charity bail which is to
be given on Friday night. The very
reverend gentleman said that he hardly
oared to express an opinion concerning
those resolutions, because tbov emanat
ed from ministers with different relig
ious views from bis own. However, be
stated tbat bis belief was that the
Methodist clergymen had entered their
protest againet tbe ball because tbey
were opposed to dancing. 1
"I cannot speak from personal expe
rience," said he, "but I have been told
by many of my acquaintances, both
ladies aud gentlemen, that some of the
round dances, as now practiced, are de
oidedly bad and objectionable. Danc
ing, such as our grandfathers and grand
mothers indulged in, was not reprehen
sible, bnt, from all accounts, modern
balls are far from conduoive to virtue.
Tbere may be dances tbat are all rigbt,
but from tbe information which bas
come to me, I am satisfied that others
are quite the reverse. For that reason I
would, myself, be inclined to object to
balls where suoh are carried on. 1 know
nothing about tbe charity ball, and,
therefore, I could bardly be expeoted to
express an opinion about it either one
way or tbe other. Furthermore, it has
not come off yet, and, consequently, it
would be unfair to criticise it before tbe
event has taken place. Yes, lam pretty
sure that the objections raised by those
gentlemen have tbeir origin in the bad
dances tbat form part of the ball pro
grammes these days. It is sad to say,
nevertheless, that resolutions and pro
tests will be of no avail, and that people
will dance just the same until the end of
the world.' 1
LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 5, 1894.
HAWKINS' DEATH
William T. Settles Arrested
Yesterday for That
Murder.
A SENSATIONAL AFFAIR.
Henley and Feeler, Elikan's
Slayers, Said to Be
Implicated.
STARTLING DEVELOPMENTS
Settles Tola the Offlaera That Be Had
Reoelved a Warning That He
Wet to Be Arretted,
The Case.
Au niivit — a*, uiau. lent ovvuiSg that
promises some sensational and startling
developments, and whiob will clear up
tbe mystery surrounding tbe mnrder of
old Jobn Hawkins at Wilmington last
March. Yesterday morning a warrant
was issued by Juatice Roaeorane of Long
Beach for tbe arrest of William T. Set
ties, charging him with tbis mnrder,
and tbe warrant was put in tbe bands of
Comtable Spiers to serve. Spiers came
to tbis.city. where be enlisted the serv
ices of Deputy Sheriff Moore, and to
gether they started for sycamore Grove,
where it was learned Settles was staying.
When nearing Sjoemore Grove,
Deputy Sheriff Moore saw Settles com
ing down tbe' rosd, and notified Spiers
of the fact. They atopped tbeir buggy
and waited for Settle tc come up.
Moore got out of tbe buggy and aa
Settles got opposite him he said:
"Billy, I want you; you had beet get in
to the buggy and go witb us."
Settles made no resistance bntalepped
into the buggy and was driven to tbe
county jail and locked up.
On the way to tbe city he told the
officers that be bad been warned tbat he
was to be arrest-d aud was making his
way to this city.
Mr. Moore says tbat the warrant was
issued upon the strongsat testimony
possible tending towards tbe guilt of
Settles, and chums tbat there is little
doubt tbat Hssley, tbe self-confessed
murderer of Camilla Elikan, is alao im
plicated in tbis murder.
Feeler, Healev and Settles were very
"chummy" while here, and also made
Wilmington a rendezvous about the time
o! the tragedy. Some very startling
and sensational developments are ex
pected at the examination.
Settles will be taken to Long Beach
today for arraignment, and it is proba
ble that his examination will take place
on Friday or Saturday next.
Everything points towards the solv
ing of the mystery of bow old John
Hawkins came to bis death.

Dr. Price's Baking Powder
California, empire of the Pacific, salutes the world.
Her Midwinter Fair closed in a midsummer blaze of glory-
Second only to the Columbian Exposition in extent, variety
and <;plondor, the coast display was a veritable triumph.
Out of her abundance the state poured her treasures—and
the nations of'tho earth came to aid her in her noble
exhibition.
Memorable were the exhibits—of gold and silver, of
wheat and oil, of fruit and wine, of silk and wool—of all
that man and nature could combine to produce. And no
exhibit attracted more attention or excited warmer approval
than that of
Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder
Official tests showed it to be highest in leavening power,
purest in quality, and most efficient in results of all baking
powders made. Accordingly, the Highest Award and Gold
Medal were conferred on Dr. Price's at the Midwinter Fair.
The triumph at San Francisco confirms the victory at
Chicago. The Midwinter Fair verdict sustain/, and vindi
cates the bestowal of highest honors on Dr. Price's by the
jury of awards at the World's Columbian Exposition.

A N ADVERTISEMENT from this house means the
truth. A reduction means a reduction. No attempt
at deception. At the present time we are cutting the prices
on every cloak in the house. We are making the prices so
low that exclusive dealers cannot meet our prices and pay
legitimate expenses. We do not depend upon our cloak de
partment for our profits. We have other departments that
are doing a large busiuess, and we can afford to sell cloaks
for one or two seasons without one cent of profit in order to
give the cloak department additional prestige. Every cloak
and every cape and every fur garment is now being sold at
a big reduction from the regular price. All the new goods,
all the new furs, and all goods now in stock in the cloak
department will be closed at a big reduction in the prices.
There is no lady who wants lo buy a cloak, and has the
money to pay for it, that can afford to pass our cloak de
partment. The money must come Avith the sale in every in
stance. The prices are the inducement. If you haven't the
cash to pay for a cloak you cannot buy it here. No mer
chant can afford to sell goods on time and meet the closest
competition No merchant cat afford to meet our cut prices
on cloaks where they depend I pon their cloak sales for their
profits. If you have the monj yin your pocket don't fritter
away your time in a cloak house. Our goods are all marked

duction you ever saw or read about. But remember, the
cash must come with the sale. This is important. It is the
most important part about it. Every cloak, every cape aud
every article of fur will be sold at a big reduction. Don't
forget, the price means the cash must come with the sale.
Children's cloaks in the largest variety at the lowest prices
you ever saw children's cloaks sold for, and the cash must
come with the cut rates. Elegant canes free with ass pur
chase. We cannot quote prices, for the simple fact is every
cloak in the house is citt. Not a garment is exempt. We
have nearly trebled the dress goods sales. All our imported
dress goods have been reduced in price. We have antici
pated the big reduction that the tariff will make January
Ist by reducing the prices now. We are the only house in
the city that,has made the reduction in dress goods so far.
The big 50c line; the bigger 75c line, and the $1 line of
fine all-wool dress goods are the greatest dress goods bar
gains ever offered in this city. The reductions are the most
pronounced, and the reductions are principally on the most
staple class of goods, in colors and styles. We are offering
great bargains in all remnants and odds and ends. Rem
nants of velvets and silks for Christmas at big reductions.
