Upon the piano were masses of white and pink carnations, roses and orange blossoms. The canopy which was dressed I by the bridesmaids, was covered with smilax in blossoms and pink daisies.

The bride, beautifully dressed in whito brocade trimmed with pearls and orange blossoms, was support ed by her father. The ceremony was ren dared most interesting by the eloquence of the good Rabbi, who "had known the bride from childhood. The Joyous wed ding march rang out, and after receiving congratulations, the happy couple and all present marched down the flowery stair way under arches of geraniums, and graceful branches of the green pepper tree to the dining room, which was elaborate ly decked with palms, oranges and roses.

ART EXHIBITION Mr. Frederic C. Torrey opened his an nual display of pictures in the parlors of the Westminster Hotel yesterday morn ing. The collection consists of water colors, etchings, engravings and a fine line of art photographs. The latter are the Hollyer carbon reproductions of paint ings by Watts, Burne, Jones and other modern masters, as well as mythological and allegorical subjects; they equal, anil in some respects, surpass the famous Braun reproductions, and are wonderful examples of the perfection that has been attained by modern photographic art. The etchings are from plates by James McNeil Whistler, Seymour Haden, Josef Israels, Charles Jacques, Zorn, Lalanne, Rembrandt, Corot, Albert Durer, Joseph Pennell, Otto Bacher, Van Granesande, Frank Short, Wvllie, Schilling, Charles .1. Watson and other Well-known English, French and American masters of the etchers' art, and will be spoken of more fully and in detail at another time. Of the water colors, Mr. Torrey has with him this year some by men who arc quite new here," and others, and line examples of such artists as Marjoribanks Hay, the English water colorist, some of whose beautiful landscapes were bought by Los Angeles art connoisesurs last year. The strongest one in this exhibition, called a Pier at Pittenween, is a masterly piece of work technically, and shows a stone pier jutting out of the central foreground into lashing waters, with low gray clouds ecuddi.ig across the threatening sky. The values and strong action are wonderfully preserved, and the picture as a whole is a masterpiece. Another, the Auld Brig O'Ayr, is in quite a different key, but is kept as faith fully harmonious, and represents a red dish brown arched bridge in the middle foreground with the smoke of a city in the background rising lazily against an other gray sky. In this picture the feel ing is one of quiet and the genersal tone is much warmer. There are several other ; landscapes by this same artist that are j more conventional in subject and treat ment, but none the less admirable, and all are the work of a very superior master. J. M. Barnsley, a Canadian artist, is represented by a charming landscape, and a very interesting little scene bearing the date of 1830 is from the brush of T. C. Dibdin, one of the early members of the English water color society. Two power ful landscapes from an American who is just coming into prominence, H. J. Breuer, are a desert scene in the early morning light, and a vista between hills on one side and foliage on the other with a pond of water In the foreground. In both of these pictures the color is strong ly and finely handled, and in the latter particularly "the treatment is reminiscent of Diaz, Jules Dupre and others of the great Barbizon school. They both com mand respect and attention for their technical excellence, and the artistic feel ing which pervades them. A delicious little marine with the waters lazily lap ping the wet beach, which reflects tbe coloring of Bky and clouds is by E. M. Bioknefl, an American artist of some note, and another marine by the English artist Albert is also delightfjl},,,)!! compo sition and treatment showing a wide view of restless sea, dotted with whitecaps and various craft. These are not all the really fine water colors in this display; there are many large and small of varying degrees of in terest and excellence, aud ns Mr. Torrey will be here the rest of this week and all of next there will be time for all lovers of good art to enjoy them not only once but several times. AHUSEMENTS Los Angeles Theater—The house was packed to the doors last night for the opening of the Calhoun Opera Company in Amorita. The Mystic Shriners, with their families, filled a large portion of the body of the house, and boxes, loges and the rest of the auditorium were crowded with a very fashionable audi ence. The opera itself is a tuneful and melo dious composition, and the interpolations were the most popular airs from other popular operas. The company is vastly im proved since they last sang here; the chonises make up in good training and prompt action what they may lack in volume as to voice: the orchestra is ex ceptionally good and carries the weight of the whole with an ease and spon taneity that speaks well for the conductor. The libretto is not exactly Gilbertian, but. comic opera in which the dialogue is less clear and every act is so full of pretty solos, duets and ensemble music, that one can overlook lapses In the diction. As Angelo Melonotti, Miss Adele Furrington is entirely captivating; Jcanie Winston and all the other women who essay men's roles fade into insignifi cance in comparison. Her features are as clear cut as a cameo; her figure is slender, trim, lithe, ami flawless from her dainty pointed toes, to the crown of her head with its reddish brown hair. She carries herself with easy poise and a very natural grace, anil although she plays the part of man and a lover, and an excellently good one, too, she is refined, yet chic and irresistible. Her contralto voice has wide range and a very agreeable quality; and her waltz song in the second act, won her a warm re LOS ANGELES HEHALD: THITRSDAY MOITNTXG, MAKCH 7, IS<»5 cull. In the wedding costume of white, she was so stunning her audience found it hard to let her go Miss Alice Beanvet made a very agreeable Impression last night In the title role, and in her duets with Angelo, her lover, nnd Bomhaedo, her would-be-lover, she was heard al her best. Miss UertTUdt Lodge, who played Pre petu, tbe mother of Amorita, Imd little singing to do, but showed considerable talent for the comedy part, which she played cleverly. Frederick fluntly as Fra Bombarda, a monk and afterward a dictator of Flor ence, has a most agreeable vioce which he uses with discrimination nnd power, and his acting was as good as his singing. Douglas Fl nt as Castruo.eio, a furrier, and Frank Moulin as Patruchia, the court attendant, divided the comedy hon ors. And last but by no means least, should be mentioned the Ambassador from Morroco, who was personated by T. E. Rowan, jr., with great grandeur and all the magnificence that hirelings, lack eys, small Ethiopian boys and large pale faced ladles in billows of black Turkish costumes give. Everybody was glad to extend a wel come to Mr. Rowan, the genial and affable Tom, and in the Black Hussar his friends will have an opportunity to hear his rich voice and see more of him than his part in Amorita will allow. The stage settings were all attractive and in the last act the lighted city seen in the distance was very effective and pretty. Of the Hungarian violinist, Mr. Paul Egony, only praise can be said. His attack is clear anil sure, as is bis execution, bis tone singularly me"ow and rich, and his play ing is characterized by what Hungarians always show, heart and sentiment. Amorita is on for tonight and Saturday night. The Black Hussar for Friday even ing and Saturday matinee.

Lizzie and Vinie Daly arc sensational dancers and divide the honors of the bill with the monkeys.

The second act of the play has a peculiar charm for the ladies, introducing, as it docs, the housewife dividing her time be tween the preparing of a meal for her husband, which she does in full sight of the audience, and caring for the chubby infant in the cradle. The military comedy Rosedale is in preparation. JIONA SHANNON For the past few days I have been pre vented from reading your paper, so that the article of reasons (so-called) for wo men wearing large hats and trousers ami nesiring the ballot escaped my eyes until today. I can safely say without exag geration I was dumbfounded. If lam not too late, will you kindly permit me to re ply to the writer of the article? Consider ing my request granted 1 shall now ad dress my remarks to the aforesaid editor. Come, sir; let us have a little argument, that is, let nic have my say while you for ever hold your peace. First, let us , consider the reasons you give for women wishing to vote. They are partially right. We do wish to vote, because you men do not want us to have that privilege, but that is our sole and only reason. Isn't that reason enough? Show ma the right-minded woman who, when she finds that all men are opposed to her doing some certain thing, is not immediately consumed with a wild desire to do that'very thing. Such a woman does not exist nnd never has. O man, man! Do you think we are "its" with no independence at all? of course wo want to vote, because you men oppose it. Never in our most delirious moments have we had any other reason. Do you think you can stop us by opposing us? Have you not learned that the only way to prevent woman from doing some thing you do not wish her to do is to convince her that you are positively consumed with desire to have her do that very thing? Freely and ungrudgingly give us the right to vote, then see how quickly we will fly back to our babies, pianos and cook books. Have you men purchased all the corner lots on notoriety? Haven't we just as good a right to make ourselves notorious as you men? You have no right to make re marks, no matter what means we adopt. So far so good. But now comes tho par ticular question: Why do the present wo men wear such gigantic hats? My dear sir, wnen you. assign the rea son that you do, you are completely at sea in an open boat without rudder, oars, sails, hard tack or grog. Do women wear large hats in order to attract attention? Most emphatically no! I shall attempt to make you understand, as nearly as your masculine brain will allow you to, the true reason. There is a psychological reason. Now go back on psychology at your peril. Psychology can explain any thing. Here is the psychological fact. Women wear such hats because they in crease their personality, present more sur face to space. We have feeling in every dancing plume, ribbon, crown and brim, just as truly as we have in our hunds, feet, etc. There is just so much added feeling of moving in space. Voluminous attire gives a delightful feeling of airy lightness. I assure you that when a woman has on an immense hat also a pair of balloon-like sleeves (which you forgot to mention) she feels as if she could soar through space. Even tho stoutest woman has this feeling when at tired in fashionable hat and sleeves. Your idea that we wear those angelic hats to attract attention is preposterous. We often wear them for hours at a time in the privacy of our own apartments. Perhaps 1 can make it still plainer to you. Why do you men wear plug hats, f 'Willie-boy" coats, and carry canes? Now don't tell me you don't have a cer tain feeling clear up to the top of those plug hats, down to the bottoms of the adored "Willie-boys' and cleur to the tip ends of Jthe canes, for I know you have. Do we women sneer at you and say yon wear them in order to attract attention? No, we are too kind and sympathetic to do that. Then, too, the more room our clothes take up the more space do we ourselves feel that we occupy. It is an acknowl edged fact that women like to take up ail the room they can in this world. In short, misguided man, woman wears the hat she does because it pleases her to do so. Ponder on the things I have said and you will finally conclude that there are more curious reasons for a womans actions than you ever dreamed of. It would posi tively make your brain reel if you knew some of the reasons women have for do ing apparently reasonless things.

BELIEVED TO BE INNOCENT The Examination of the Alleged Pico Heights Female Firebugs is Continued The examination of Mrs. Julia Knox and Mrs. Amelia Piatt, two sisters, for arson, was continued yesterday by Jus tice Young of the township court until the 13th, at the request of the attorneys for the people nnd the defense. The ac cused have a number of sympathizers at Pico Heights who refuse to believe that they have been guilty of the crime charged, or that Mrs. Minnie Dunham will be able to substantiate her accusa tions. The defense claims that the pros ecution has been instigated by the insur ance company which paid the claim after the Lightning street house was burned. Considerable interest has been manifested at Pico Heights in the arrests and there is much speculation as to the probable outcome. Healey Cannot Testify William Settle is to be tried in the Su perior Court on the 11th instant on the charge of having participated in the murder of a baker at Wilmington last year. Yesterday his attorney, Mr. Allen, of the firm of Allen & Flint, applied to Judgo Shaw to have Lucien T.

Healey is serving a life sentence in the state prison for the murder of Camile Ellikan. at Long Beach, in the latter part of November.

It alleges that on January 25th Hoyt drew up a sight draft for $150 in this city made payable by the Citizens' Bank of Ontario, Cal. The draft bore on the back the following endorsement: C. G. Hoyt, Hotel Westminster, per F. O. Johnson. Hoyt obtained the money and it was then discovered that the draft was a forgery. Newton's Bondsmen Sued F. W. Braun & Co. have commenced an action in the Superior Court against H. J. Woollacott and, J. J. Melius to recover $597 for which plaintiffs allege that de fendants became responsible when they went on a bond of A. J. Newton.
